Ma'am help, the general is in trouble again

Chapter 193
"On the road to self-destruction, people who will only get you into trouble are also considered as fellow travelers you recognize?" Gongshu frowned slightly, as if he didn't quite understand.

Zheng Quchi narrowed his eyes slightly, then reached out his hand to stop his words.

She said seriously: "Wait, who would choose the road of self-destruction? I haven't lived enough, I haven't fulfilled my ideals, I just want to walk on the road with a bright future."

Don't give her random definitions and draw conclusions.

She won't follow his way of thinking, and she has no brains. The path she will take in the future must be a deliberate choice, and it is also a better and better direction!

If Gongshu thinks that Zheng Quchi understands what he means, and sees that she is not an old-fashioned person, since she listens to persuasion...

He tightened the handle of the lamp in his hand, and leaned forward slightly towards her: "Your ideal should be to be with like-minded people, so... what do you think of public losers?"

Public loser?
The first thing she thought of was having hatred, resentment, and... having money.

Zheng Quchi's expression was slightly heavy: "Actually..."

If Gongshu saw that her expression was wrong, he spoke quickly and said, "If you are willing to join Gongshu, I can hire you with a hundred gold per month."

Hundred gold January? !

Oh my goodness, how is this any different than a million january high pay hire?
Zheng Quchi was dumbfounded, she just opened her mouth to say a word: "I..."

Gongshu Jiruo added another sentence: "If you have any idea or want to do it, Gongshu will provide you with everything you need, money or precious wood, technology."

Zheng Quchi continued to be dumbfounded.

"The tens of thousands of disciples of the public loser can also help you, even... me." He gave her everything he had, just to keep her.

No, his exorbitant terms of employment don't seem like he wants to hire employees, but he thinks he's recruiting an extra master for the public loser...

Phew, she was thinking about something.

Zheng Quchi slapped his palms on the face to wake himself up and prevent him from being blinded by money and lust.

"Is what you said true, true?"

"Of course." Seeing that the shape of her eyes had turned into that of a money fan, Gongshu said while the iron was hot: "If you don't believe me, we can draw up a contract and sign it after the lantern lighting ceremony, with black and white paper as evidence." , it is not considered a verbal agreement, but a firm matter."

Zheng Quchi was a little confused, and she said incoherently: "I, it's not like you have such a good condition, what kind of craftsman can't be found in the Seven Kingdoms? I, I don't seem to have done anything that caused a sensation in the world, right? Or... what do you want to do?"

If Gongshu raised the palace lantern slightly, he wanted her to see the seriousness in his eyes: "You can do whatever you want, your ideas, your ideals, your ambitions, I will do my best to achieve them, so you Will you choose my path of splendidness and mastery?"

His straight ball made Zheng Quchi startled.

He even felt that if he refused him, he would be too ignorant.

The two stood in a private place entwined with vines, and the sky was full of stars and fireflies, reflecting the bright stars in their eyes.

But in such a romantic place, when other men and women came, it was natural to spend time and talk about love, but the two of them painstakingly poached corners and negotiated treatment and salary.

Even though Zheng Quchi's soul had floated out of her body and flew towards Gongshu Jiruo happily and excitedly, a cold reason in her heart still ruthlessly grabbed its tail tightly to prevent it from running away.

"...The ceremony is about to start, why don't we talk about it later."

Zheng Quchi finally spoke, but this was not the answer Gongshu Jiruo expected.

"it is good."

Even if Gongshu still hides all emotions, he should.

He knew that there was still one matter between them that had not been resolved, and if that matter was not handled well, both of them would be stuck in their throats forever, unable to obtain understanding and forgiveness.

"Whenever you want to talk, then talk about it."

-

A lot of people gathered near the star viewing platform, and the merchants didn’t mention it. Among them, there were many literati, celebrities and prostitutes in Yongchun. Groups of silhouettes with excellent scenery.

The Star Observation Platform is located on the hillside of Yongfeng Mountain. Compared with the top of the mountain, the road is smoother and smoother. It can be used by horse-drawn carriages. The mountain is usually closed for warning, and it is only open during certain periods.

For example, this year's "Jichun Craftsmanship Union" is held here. When such a grand venue begins and ends, it should naturally have its opening and closing ceremonies.

It's just the opening scene, which can entertain invited craftsmen and merchants, and refuses other idlers to participate, while the closing ceremony is not limited to personnel, and the whole people can participate in the viewing.

"It's getting dark, why hasn't the lighting ceremony started yet? I'm really looking forward to who will win this year's leader."

There are many travelers from afar. They often travel to the Seven Kingdoms, actively participate in all kinds of excitement and grand ceremonies, and then bring back the news they hear and see to their hometown.

"Yeah, I'm so curious, I don't know who it could be?" People from Yongchun City also came up to join in the fun,
A dude rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "I've already placed my bets. I'm afraid you outsiders don't know who is the most popular this year. I guess, the winner must be one of them, but I don't know what it is." Which country's craftsmen will win? Anyway, I have placed my bets, and I will definitely win it hard."

Others hurried over, hey hey learned the scriptures and said, "Brother, which country's craftsman did you come from? Tell us some news."

"I, Beiyuan, Hongsheng and Qiuci are all down."

Another person laughed and said, "It's such a coincidence, I bet too, but I bet on the Julu Kingdom. As a citizen of the Julu Kingdom, I naturally support my family."

"What does it have to do with where the people are, anyway, I am more optimistic about the country of Kucha."

"I think it's Hong Shengguo."

At this time, a person joked: "I heard that every country has them, but why don't you beat the Ye country? I just looked at the odds, and it's ten to ten odds. Who wants to bet on it?" Note, maybe you can get rich by relying on this wave."

"Hahaha, are you joking, getting rich? Go ahead and dream, if you don't lose so much that you even mortgage your trousers, it's fine, win in a row?" Others laughed, as if they heard a particularly funny joke.

"You say this because you want to fool some people who don't know the situation. I'll put it here. Tonight, if anyone bets on Ye Kingdom, I will take off my clothes and run around Yongfeng Mountain naked! "

Pointing at the sky alone, let go of the rhetoric.

This time, it aroused the other people's desire to play and win.

"Then I will stand outside Yongchun Mountain and stand there straight as a mountain monument for a month!"

"Then I will lick the gate of Wujue Temple clean!"

……

Tsk tsk, all of these are quite ruthless about their future arrangements.

"Well, where is the place to bet?" A young man suddenly asked.

Everyone was interrupted, and when they turned their heads, they saw a smiling man with a handsome face and bright eyes.

He is kind and gentle.

When they saw that his face was covered with powder and eyebrows, coupled with his exquisite and luxurious clothes, even if he was not a son of aristocrats, he was also from a top-notch wealthy family, so his hands and feet felt a little restrained.

In short, this is not someone they can afford to offend.

One person flatteringly pointed to the place next to the third floor surrounded by crowds: "It's just right in front of the "Viewing the World" booth, you, you want to bet too?"

The young man nodded with a smile on his face: "That's right, I was listening to your lively chat just now, and I got interested too."

The man hurriedly urged: "Then you have to hurry up, the lantern-laying ceremony is about to take place, if you are late, the game will be closed, but... I heard that the Nanchen Kingdom is also very strong this year. Guo, who are you going to bet on?"

The others also wanted to know and looked at him.

"I..." The smile on the corner of the young man's mouth deepened, and in their waiting eyes, he decisively said two words: "Ye Kingdom."

what? !

Ye country?

They shouted in astonishment: "Ye country? Did you say something wrong? How could Ye country win? Are you trying to lose money on purpose?"

Everyone can't understand.

The young man casually said: "That's right, it's Ye Kingdom. I have a hunch that this year's Ye Kingdom will definitely win."

He stepped towards the betting booth, but suddenly thought of something, he turned around and showed them a devilish smile: "By the way, I heard you all say that if someone gives Ye The country placed a bet that you will run naked, be a mountain monument, kneel and lick the gate of the temple... Now, you can think about the time and see which day is the auspicious day, promise it."

The people who were talking about it just now, their faces were flushed, their mouths were wide open, and they couldn't say a word for a long time.

Thousands of words can be merged into one word - shit!Crazy man.

Can't see him losing so much that he is crying for his father and mother!
-

Gongshu Jiruo, who deliberately stood in the dim light, watched Zheng Quchi come back with a victorious look, and a slight smile appeared on his cold and rigid face.

"Suppressed Ye Kingdom?" He asked knowingly.

"Ah."

"How much?"

Zheng Quchi patted his chest and said proudly, "All of my wealth!"

It's rare to encounter such a good thing. Others rely on guesswork, but she knows the correct answer, and can she pick and swish and not spend it extravagantly?
It's a pity that her entire net worth is only a little money.

"It seems that they are destined to donate money for you tonight."

Zheng Quchi didn't like this word, she said: "Gamblers like them can't save money in their pockets, not to mention their money, if they lose today, they will lose somewhere else in the end. I just want to pass this matter Tell them that nothing is impossible in this world."

Even if Gongshu saw her, it wasn't for the money, but because he didn't want to listen to other people's jokes and insults to the country of Ye, so he came forward... He also discovered that her feelings for the country of Ye may be more important than she thought. .

This is not a good thing.

At least for him, this is a very bad thing.

-

A long guard of honor guards the order of the star observatory, the middle road must be empty, and those who come to watch the meeting are arranged under the round altar.

The 32 stone pillars of the round altar were lit with candles, but they could only illuminate a very small corner. I saw a group of people coming up from behind...

"Look, people are coming."

"Eh? The one in front should be the public loser, right? Then the one next to him...is it..."

The Star Observation Platform is designed as a round altar, half of the body is connected to the ground, and half of the body is suspended above the steep hillside. Before Gongshu Jiruo and their arrival, Wujue Temple had already prepared everything.

Torches, a hundred seven-star lamps.

Although this meeting is called a thousand lanterns, in fact there are only a hundred lanterns in the lighting ceremony, and the thousands of lanterns need to be added to those lights lit nearby to create a good story with the brilliance of the crowd.

"The light is too dim, so I can't see what he looks like?"

"It's true that I can't look carefully, but it seems that the short man has lost a lot to everyone... Who could it be?"

"No hurry, anyway, after the Thousand Lantern Ceremony starts later, we will be able to see clearly."

On the round altar, there was a gentle night breeze, Gongshu Jiruo brought a torch and handed it to Zheng Quchi.

"Go and light the lamp."

Zheng Quchi looked around, except for the circle of flames around the round altar, the place in the middle was extremely dark. Holding the torch, she walked to rows of seven-star lamps.

"There are so many, which one to order?"

She was stunned for a moment.

"There are words on it, you can choose your favorite wishes and let them fly."

Gongshu behind him pointed out.

Have words?

It's so dark, it's really ugly... She took a torch and approached it, and there were words on it.

Have a good year, live and work in peace and contentment...

Industry and Bangxing, thriving...

One yuan starts again, Vientiane is renewed, every year is happy, every year is safe...

Looking at the lamps one by one, she finally settled on the one that said "the country is peaceful and the people are safe, the whole family is reunited".

After lighting a seven-star lamp, she didn't know what wish to make for a moment, since there was Qi Shun's wish on the lamp, so let it be her wish.

He lifted it upwards, and saw it rise smoothly.

At the same time, the seven-star lamps around her were also lit by Gongshu Jiruo, Abbot Miku, a dozen master craftsmen and monks, and all of them went up.

Immediately, the light was brilliant, and a piece of light was lit up under the slowly rising seven-star lamp. From a distance, it was like a huge painting unfolding, reflecting their stargazing platform like daylight.

When the lights illuminated the center of the round altar, the presiding officer Miku lowered his voice to his dantian and announced to the crowd below: "Amitabha, pray for the auspicious light of all Buddhas and the praise of dragons and heavens. This year, the leader of the Jichun Craftsman Union is Zheng green."

Under the thousands of lights, Zheng Qing is illuminated like a Buddha's light. The warm yellow light not only illuminates the round altar, but also illuminates her existence.

The word "Zheng Qing" exploded into everyone's ears like thunder.

"Zheng Qing? Who is she, a craftsman from which country?!"

Since Zheng Qing's name appeared in public view for the first time, even though they could see the young man's face clearly through the light of the lantern-laying ceremony, they were still blind.

The people below instantly boiled like a pan of oil, chattering and talking a lot.

Even if Gongshu stood beside Zheng Quchi at this moment, he said: "Zheng Qing, he was ranked first in the shortlist, and he won the leader of the Jichun Craftsman's Union in the final. He is the well-deserved leader of the craftsman's union this year. I will promise her a request here, as long as it is what she asks and wishes, I will promise to carry it out to the end."

His clear and clear voice is like the snow on the top of the peak being shaken off, the snow is scattered and warm, and the ice is shining warmly.

They were all stunned, and seemed to lose their voice.

Unexpectedly, everyone in the public loser made such a heavy promise in public. Although the leaders in the past can also make a request to the public loser, there are prerequisites, and they are not what they want.

But what's going on now?
