stand back, let me come

Chapter 1185: Making Trouble (Part 1185) [Seeking a Monthly Ticket]

Liao Qian thought he had made himself very clear.

However, he obviously didn't quite understand Liao Jia's train of thought.

"Whether to refuse or not is not up to you or her to decide." The last trace of smile on Liao Jia's face disappeared, replaced by irresistible strength and arbitrariness, "Liao is just informing you, not asking for your wishes. Your sister is most comfortable with the mallet, it's not impossible, but she must be able to choose the mallet, not just the mallet for her to choose."

Liao Qian felt that this person was being unreasonable.

"You can't understand human speech?"

Liao Jia said: "You can only listen to me."

Liao Qian was so angry that he laughed: "Just ask why?"

What right does the so-called uncle who has nothing to do with him have to point fingers at his siblings? When they were almost used as food, where was this man? He was not there at that time, and he can get out of here now. Liao Qian did not dare to kill Liao Jia because of his identity, so he could only stop. He snorted coldly and prepared to stay away from this madman. As soon as his left foot took a step forward, a sword was across his neck, and the cold blade almost touched his skin.

  Liao Qian was filled with anger!

Liao Jia said: "You just have to obey."

He used practical actions to tell Liao Qian what choice really means!

"A choice with room for maneuver is called a choice, a choice without room for maneuver is called a compromise." Liao Jia ignored the other party's face which was as pale as the bottom of a pot, and said in a playful tone, "Repaying a favor is my business. You have no right to choose, you can only compromise with me."

They don't need to have any opinions.

Just listen to him and let him tell you what to do.

"I am a brave warrior!"

  Isn't it like playing to kill a Wenxin scholar alone?

Liao Jia raised his eyebrows, not taking his threat seriously, but mockingly said in a contemptuous and provocative tone: "Try it!"

Liao Qian: “…”

Although Liao Qian was still a little confident at the beginning, he was completely helpless when he saw Shen Tang silently taking a small step towards Liao Jia. Shen Xiancheng's actions only hinted that her relationship with this red-robed monster might not be just superficial!

He had no choice but to change his strategy and cursed Shen Tang in his heart.

  If he had known this would happen, he would rather have rotted in the Cui family!

Liao Qian suppressed his anger and said, "Didn't you say that my mother was kind to you? Is this how you repay your benefactor's offspring?"

Liao Jia had no intention of putting down the sword.

"When she was alive, she only entrusted your sister to me to take care of, not you." Facing the questioning, not only did he not feel guilty, but he was confident: "You are indeed her child, but you are still that man's blood. Your biological father is the culprit who killed her! If you obey me, you are the child of my benefactor. If you don't obey me, then you are the son of my enemy. Don't you understand this simple truth?"

Liao Qian: “…”

He said that people in troubled times have mental problems.

I must have met a mentally ill person!

Liao Qian endured the throbbing veins on his forehead, and he had no choice but to compromise as he could clearly feel the murderous intent emanating from Liao Jia.

"Sister won't agree to that."

Liao Jia sneered at this and exploded again: "As long as she doesn't want to see your head, I think she will agree."

Liao Qian: “…”

Suddenly I became curious about the relationship between the Red Robe Monster and his mother.

  Are you sure that your mother is doing you a favor, not a grudge?

The ideological work was effective. Liao Jia sheathed his sword and asked Liao Qian to write a letter to call his sister. He said he would take the person away. Liao Qian could only reluctantly agree.

  The thought that he was forced to compromise and it was in line with the Red Robe Monster's fallacy made him furious. First, the other party's uncle's identity was only one-sided, and the authenticity of the letter of entrustment was yet to be verified. He must have a hole in his brain to let his sister be taken away by such a person. Agreeing to it was just a delaying tactic, but how could an old hand like Liao Jia not guess it?

Liao Qian: "Sister is not young anymore, how can you help her?"

Liao Jia: "This is not something you should worry about."

Liao Qian: “…”

It seems that this red-robed monster is doing quite well.

Liao Jia reminded him quietly, "You'd better not have any evil ideas. You don't want to experience my methods firsthand. Back then, I hated your father for being so disloyal to your mother and treating your sister like a worn-out shoe, which prevented me from taking her out of the inner palace. Now, times have changed. It's not that difficult to take your sister away without your consent. Unless you are as heartless as your father!"

These words are indeed somewhat ambiguous.

Liao Qian felt mixed emotions after hearing this.

My mother was actually a woman from the inner palace? Doesn't that mean my sister and I are both from royal families? Thinking of the many hardships I had to endure in my childhood, I couldn't help but sigh that things are unpredictable. What does royal blood matter? In troubled times, you can also become a meal on the plate.

From what the Red Robe Monster said, he had coveted his mother? No wonder, no wonder he had such a strange logic! He said recklessly: "The son follows the father, it's hard to say."

The next moment, he felt a real murderous intent.

  The red-robed monster's eyes clearly showed that he wanted to kill someone. Liao Qian subconsciously took a half step back, the martial energy in the Dan Mansion surged, and his fighting spirit was almost out of control. The red-robed monster's killing intention was not a threat, but a real desire to kill him. Just because of his agreement?

Just when the two were in a stalemate, Shen Tang stepped in to intervene.

"This is not the place for negotiation." Shen Tang subtly suppressed Liao Jia's move to draw his sword, lest he do something he would regret for the rest of his life in a moment of impulse. "Your Excellency... Um, you found the son of an old friend, it's a happy event, you should hold a banquet to celebrate, and make it public."

The real Liao Qian is here. It would be awkward for Shen Tang to call Liao Jia by his pseudonym again. He couldn't call him by his real name, so he could only be vague. Liao Jia suppressed his emotions with reason and warned Liao Qian in a cold tone: "Don't let me hear the same words a second time. If there is a second time, I won't care whether you are her son or not!"

The other half of Liao Qian's bloodline made him extremely disgusted.

This child really imitates his biological father. Liao Jia will not give him any face.

Liao Qian: “…”

The four of them returned to the government office in silence.

Shen Tang asked the kitchen lady to cook some dishes that Liao Jia was used to, and also arranged more than 20 jars of pure spirit wine without water. Just smelling the overflowing aroma of wine made people feel drunk. Liao Qian forgot his previous unhappiness temporarily, and after taking a sip, he wanted to curse.

Is this spiritual wine the same thing as the spiritual wine that comes with the monthly salary?

  They are exactly the same!

He couldn't help but take two more sips. He looked up and saw the red-robed monster drinking silently. He couldn't help but ask the doubts that had been accumulating in his heart for many years.

"Mother, what kind of person is she?"

Liao Jia came to his senses and realized that he was asking him.

This question stumped him. His memory of that person was so old that it was yellowed and blurred, and he couldn't think of a specific word to describe her. Liao Jia said instinctively, "She must be a famous person, knowledgeable and intelligent, kind and gentle, but also decisive. Humph, if she were a man, or was born twenty years later, there would be more than a handful of people in the world who could suppress her."

Liao Qian asked: "What about appearance?"

Liao Jia said sarcastically, "Appearance? I didn't expect that the person who asked such a shallow question would be her son. However, considering what a piece of shit your father is, it's not surprising. In front of absolute talent and ability, appearance is the least worth mentioning. A mind is as high as the sky, and a heart is as broad as the earth. There are always some pieces of shit who only see the outer appearance."

Liao Qian: “…”

He never failed to curse his biological father every three sentences.

It seems that the biological father whom I have never met is indeed not a human being.

"I asked her what she looked like just because I wanted to see her. In the past, when I thought of my mother, I only had a blank face in my mind."

Everyone has a mother, and so do he and his sister.

Liao Jia was silent for a moment.

He softened his tone and said, "I'll draw a portrait for you later."

Liao Qian was more and more certain that the Red Robe Monster had different feelings for his mother, and he didn't know whether to sympathize with him or laugh at him. Liao Qian asked about the identity of his parents again, but Liao Jia didn't want to answer. At this time, Cui Mi interrupted: "In the past fifty years, there have been four royal families with the surname Liao in the southwest, each from a different branch. But to meet Zun Guang's age, there should be only two countries."

The two countries were originally one, but they were split into two due to internal fighting among the heirs, and soon they were destroyed one after another. They were called royal families, but in fact they were two tiny countries. Based on Liao Jia's dressing habits and the few words he revealed, Cui Mi was basically certain.

Liao Qian took note of it silently and prepared to check it out.

Liao Jia glanced at him indifferently.

"Does Cui Jilang have anything he loves?"

This question was very abrupt, Liao Qian didn't understand, Cui Mi's smile was stiff. He knew Liao Jia was warning him not to talk too much.

Liao Jia gave a sarcastic smile.

  His facial features are rather subtle. When his face is expressionless, he looks like a scholar. But once the corners of his lips curl up, he instantly changes from a country celebrity to a treacherous gangster. His face is so beautiful that you want to slap him. Three parts treacherous, seven parts vulgar!

Cui Mi: “…”

He looked at Shen Tang who was sitting at the top.

The latter was as steady as a rock and had no intention of making decisions for him.

Cui Mi's mood at this moment coincided with Liao Qian's mood not long ago. The two of them shared the same pain! He could only choose to suffer in silence.

Fortunately, Liao Jia didn't stay long.

On the third day, he disappeared.

Liao Qian heaved a sigh of relief, thankful that the red-robed monster had left. When he returned to his room, he saw an unfamiliar scroll on the table. The scroll was brand new and of luxurious texture. He opened it with a complicated look. The person in the painting was only in her early twenties, with a bun like an unmarried woman.

Her appearance was not particularly stunning, just ordinary.

There are only a few pieces of information, but they are all strange.

How could such an ordinary-looking girl attract the emperor's covetousness? In the southwest, it is a common custom for girls to get married when they reach the age of 15. The girl's attire in the painting is inconsistent with her age. It was not until Liao Qian opened the letter next to her that all his doubts were answered.

Liao Qian murmured, "It is indeed a piece of shit."

He took the letter and went to ask for a meeting with Shen Tang.

"Does County Magistrate Shen know where that person went?"

Shen Wuyou Tang buried his head in handling official documents: "It's not the right time to know yet. When the time is right, you will know."

Liao Qian had no choice but to give up.

There are so many people in this vast sea of ​​people, and there is nothing he can do unless his master says anything.

He followed the routine every day, going on duty when it was time to go on duty, and practicing when it was time to practice. He watched the expensive grain he borrowed from others at a cost of 5.2 cents being planted in the fields - he didn't understand. Winter was about to come, so was it really the rice planting season? Others had the same question, but they didn't dare to say anything because of Shen Tang's usual iron-blooded methods.

This batch of grain was wasted, and they learned their lesson. As long as the government pays the monthly salary on time, they don't care about anything else.

Everyone just ignores the matter and does not care about it.

  After all, Liao Qian was a young confidant that Cui Shi had spent a lot of effort to cultivate. He was originally prepared to be used by his eldest son Cui Xiong, so he was naturally capable. He was extremely keen on external intelligence. Even though he was in a poor area with no one around, he could vaguely smell a bit of a strange atmosphere - did something big happen in the outside world in the past few months?

"Have you received any news from the clan recently, Mr. Erlang?"

He turned to Cui Mi to ask for information.

Cui Mi looked over and asked, "What do you want to know?"

Liao Qian said: "I just feel that things have been very strange lately."

It seems that we rarely hear news about the aristocratic family anymore.

In the past, the market would often spread rumors about how talented and gifted a man was, or how beautiful and charming a woman was, or how prosperous a family was, or how someone held a banquet at a certain house, and how they were very popular... There were even rumors about the romantic affairs of the children of different families. Common people were quite interested in these stories.

It's been too quiet lately.

Cui Mi thought he was going to ask something.

He leaned back, bent his elbows and wrapped his hands around the swing rope, ate some snacks, and answered casually, "I can't take care of myself."

"Too busy to take care of yourself?"

Cui Mi said: "Every family is like a cross-eyed chicken now."

"Cross-eyed?"

Cui Mi said, "Yes, the families that used to live in peace suddenly started to dislike each other, and the court was in chaos, with new things happening every day. It was so chaotic, it was exciting just to think about it."

"How could this be?"

Cui Mi slurped the egg custard.

"From what my eldest brother wrote home, it seems that each family has lost something, something very important. Everyone suspects that it was stolen by the spies planted by the rival family. They are trembling with fear and suspicion. How can they be in the mood to save face?"

"Lost something?"

Cui Mi speculated: "Among the noble families, how many have clean butts? I guess these things can make their shit-stained butts stick up in front of people. No one can afford to lose this person!"

Liao Qian: “…”

He just wanted to know how these deadly things were lost.

  Who stole it again!

Cui Mi said: "My brother said it might be the work of the king."

Liao Qian knew this was impossible.

If the Queen had this control ability, she wouldn't have fought with the noble families for many years, and it would be difficult to implement a new policy. If it were her, she only needed to show the things to make the noble families obedient. Why wait until now and make people panic? Cui Mi said: "The truth is not important. What is important is that the things were really lost, and they were lost without anyone noticing. The Queen did indeed gather a lot of power during this period, so she is the most suspicious."

Cui Mi has also been a little worried recently.

The content of the letters sent by my brother started out by asking me how I was doing, and gradually turned into asking me for advice on how to get along with women. My fiancée was increasingly favored by the king, so what should I do? My fiancée's favor meant that Mei Meng, my former confidant, had lost favor. Would this attract the latter's targeting?

Cui Mi: “…”

Liao Qian worriedly asked, "Will it have an impact on us?"

"It's such a small place, we can't even be used as pawns by the big guys! Instead of worrying about the struggle above affecting us, we should think about whether the rice we planted this season will cause famine next year..."

Liao Qian agreed: "Erlang Jun is right."

at the same time--

Shen Tang, who had changed into furry winter clothes early, slammed the table and said, "Let me repeat, what do these people mean? They are rebelling against Tian Gang. They want to use these few people to waste my worm medicine worth hundreds of thousands of dollars? What the hell, they just sent these few people?"

“They’re not buying medicine…”

After Shen Tang overturned the table, he walked away.

Qi Julang and others had to run very fast to catch up.

"It's a New Year's gift for you."

Shen Tang only cared about one thing: "New Year's gift? They also know that the New Year is coming! Don't they know that you can't go on debt during the New Year? Has the money for the roundworm medicine been settled? If not, will they wait for me to collect it?"

One of the benefits of being a great power is

Some neighboring small countries will come to Gongbai Pier.

In addition to gold, silver and jewelry, there are also beauties and even royal daughters. In view of Shen Tang's gender, the candidate becomes a royal daughter.

This time, the way I send gifts is different from before.

  The person came through diplomatic relations between the two countries, went through a complicated process, and was sent to Shen Tang. The person is the state gift!

It has happened in the past, but not on such a large scale.

This year is exceptionally different.

The envoy from another country openly stated the purpose of the tribute in the court, which almost caught Shen Tang off guard.

The "national gift" also knew the mission he was carrying. He neither resisted nor flattered Shen Tang. His appearance was indeed one of the best. When he met Shen Tang, there was a flash of surprise in his eyes. In addition to him, there were more than 20 dowries.

"I am willing to sacrifice my life to protect the friendship between the two countries~" After the court was dismissed, Gu Chi wrapped himself in heavy winter clothes and pinched his throat to imitate the "state etiquette" speaking tone, "Tsk, this is the first time I see the Lord leaving the civil and military officials and leaving after the 'court is dismissed'. I am very angry."

Bai Su put the teapot filled with clean snow on the stove and said calmly, "You can't give a gift to someone without showing your true feelings. In the past, no woman who was sent out to marry would be so arrogant as to say such a thing... He really thinks he is a piece of cake."

The master just felt humiliated.

Gu Chi said: "It's New Year's Day, it's not good to mobilize troops."

The master was furious and his colleagues were ecstatic.

Everyone’s thoughts are about fighting!

Bai Su: "It's hard to achieve military merit."

Fighting a war requires a legitimate reason. You can't just attack whoever you want. It would be a shame if you don't take advantage of the ready-made excuses that the other side has given you. It's a good opportunity to test the attitudes of the countries in the Central Continent.

I can’t even wait for the beginning of spring, and the Chinese New Year is still several months away.

Colleagues all want a quick resolution.

Gu Chi: "That excuse is a bit far-fetched. The Lord doesn't care, but we should always consider our reputation in the history books."

The excuse for sending troops to destroy a country was that the other party sent a man to him.

It sounds a bit outrageous.

  If you send a woman, she will be beaten. If you send a man, he will be beaten too. They are hard to serve!

Shen Tang decided to send an envoy to ask for money first.

Let’s pay the bill for the roundworm medicine first, and decide whether to get the vaccine later.

The New Year is coming soon, and Cui Zhi also starts to worry about the New Year's affairs for his family. He has to take care of all the big and small things in the family, and he also has to keep an eye on the chaos in the court. Recently, I wish I could have two eyes on guard in turn when I sleep! I also have to take time to look at the surrounding countries.

Then--

He saw an outrageous piece of news among a pile of news.

"Kangguo sent an envoy Wan to the neighboring country Zhen. The envoy Wan and..." Cui Zhi blinked and read the words carefully, doubting his life. "No, they started fighting right away? Was it Qi Yuanliang who did it?"

  |ω`)

Today, I was driving a practice car on the road. The people I was traveling with were confused about how to read the fuel gauge. Why was it different from the training car? I couldn't see the amount displayed. Shouldn't there be a grid or something? After driving forty or fifty kilometers, I went to the gas station with doubts and asked the staff what to do. They said to fill it up with 92.

then……

I watched the numbers jump wildly, speechlessly noticing grids appearing on the fuel gauge.

Oh my god, it ran out of oil before.

After filling up, it tasted exactly the same as the training car, with a familiar smell.
