Chapter 160 Tiger and Turtle

The flowers in the Baihua Building are gone, and new ones are blooming in the Jixiang Inn on Housan Street. This is something that all Shenjing people know.If any interested lover can go to the Jixiang Inn to get a flower, he will be able to win a smile from the beautiful woman.

The business of Baihua Building has suffered a lot because of this, but it is the tallest building in the city after all, and it will always stand tall in this great city.

"If Her Highness the Princess changes her mind, then this tallest building in Shenjing will be a gift from me to Your Highness." Ji Yuetang said as she looked at the back of Princess Yihe as she left.

Keyi and the princess didn't seem to have the slightest intention of turning around, she coldly rejected Ji Yuetang's bold proposal, and reprimanded him.

The second floor of Baihua Building was soon empty, only Ji Yuetang and his old servant Tang Cha were left.People had already left, the tea was already cold, Ji Yuetang leaned on the doorway and looked at the busy Sajin Street outside, after a long time, she turned around and asked, "Why don't you ask me what I'm going to do next?"

Tang Cha calmly brewed tea, nodded and said, "Master knows it well, this old slave doesn't need to ask more questions."

"You just talk too little, which is quite boring." Ji Yuetang said, and simply took out a book and read it, chatting to relieve fatigue.

The room became quiet, only the sound of tea boiling gradually became louder and louder.Tang Cha turned on the stove fire, looked at the master through the water mist rising from the stove, and asked, "Will Your Royal Highness agree to your proposal?"

Ji Yuetang flipped through the book, kept his eyes on the book, and replied: "Everyone has the desire to cause chaos in their hearts, but there are big and small ones. Yihe is a descendant of Yao Guang, and ambition runs in his blood. Here she is. Among all the children of the royal family I have seen, she is the most like Yao Guang. She is ambitious, decisive, and good at forbearance. What is even more rare is that she is still a woman. It's not easy."

Tang Cha didn't know that the master had such a high opinion of the princess. After a pause, he served a cup of hot tea and said, "If that's the case, then one day she will be crowned emperor, and she will definitely not be willing to be manipulated by the master."

"You want to say why I support an enemy myself?" Ji Yuetang smiled, held hot tea in her palm, and said, "A fast knife can cut through the mess. This fast has two meanings. One is that the knife is fast enough, and the other is the blade It is sharp enough. The Daxia imperial family lived in Shenjing for thousands of years. They have been at ease for too long, and the knife in their hearts is almost blunt. No matter how ruthless and unpredictable the current emperor is, he is only trapped here by Yao Guang’s achievements The defender of the city, even if he and Zhou Ziheng are brothers and sisters, they can't get rid of their own narrowness. He doesn't have the courage to cut off everything left by Yaoguang, so he will just shrink into the tortoise shell of Shenjing and continue Live his peaceful dream."

Tang Cha thought for a moment, and said, "Tiger and tortoise?"

Ji Yuetang nodded appreciatively, "That's a good analogy. Life is too boring. I'd rather fight a tiger than a tortoise."

Hearing this, Tang Cha finally became curious and asked, "What is that ghost Luoluo?"

Ji Yuetang tilted her head and thought for a while, then said, "A young poisonous snake."

"Where's Zhou Ziheng?"

"A drunken poet, ideal poet, poets don't kill."

"What about seventeen?"

"A wolf with sharp claws."

"Where's Meng Qiqi?"

"He...he is the person who most resembles Yao Guang and the least like Yao Guang in this world, like a yellow-haired dog that can be seen everywhere. I don't know which mountain he jumped out of, maybe it is similar to the one in the storybook. Like a grandson monkey, it jumped out of the stone. No matter you are the emperor or the farmer, if you provoke it, it will bite you, and it will not stop until it bites down. But this kind of dog is very cute, every family Everyone likes to keep one at the door of their house, but it is a pity that among tens of millions of people, it always only chooses one owner."

Tang Cha could hear the regret in his words, the last time Meng Qiqi left Shenjing, he felt the same regret.

"What about Chen Boyan?" He asked again.

This time, Ji Yuetang didn't answer for a long time. He seemed to be thinking, but he still couldn't come up with an incisive answer.This made Tang Cha a little surprised, and then he thought about it carefully, and found that he knew very little about Chen Boyan.

When he was in Shenjing, he always stood silently beside Meng Qiqi, not revealing anything.It is also a gentleman's style to make a few rare shots, but it is an illusion, isn't it?

Only when the big formation was driven at the end, Tang Cha felt a trace of killing intent in the night rain, but that was too unpredictable after all.

"That's really an unpredictable and contradictory person." Ji Yuetang took a sip of tea, looked beyond the window lattice, and looked into the distance, "Perhaps when the news from Yinshan comes, everything will be clear."

At this time, someone knocked on the door.

Tang Cha got up to answer the door, and after a while, came in with a letter.

Ji Yuetang opened the letter and looked at it, then threw it into the stove and burned it, saying: "Let Qu Ping and Shiqi not worry, first secure the two secret realms that have already been obtained, and then open the third one at no later time. Take advantage of the victory Chasing is good, but dogs will jump over the wall when they are in a hurry, not to mention that there are mad dogs like Meng Qiqi in the opponent's lineup. If they are pushed into a hurry, it is easy to make both losers. It is better to give them more time and let them think carefully. Thinking, sometimes the more you think, the more you worry, the more restrained you are. Human beings are always like this, even if they are about to die, they still have to care about the gains and losses. You fight for an inch, I take a foot, and in the end, both sides suffer. Become a meal for monsters."

Tang Cha, who is a human being, does not comment on this, perhaps he is too old to regret this.

Ji Yuetang finally sighed: "In this world, there will never be another Yao Guang."

Jinling, Mochou Lake.

After half a year, Wang Ziling once again stood in front of the fairy stone statue in front of the Chanhua Tower.He looked up at this old ancestor, only half a year later, but it felt like a lifetime away.

Qinggu squatted on the guardrail and looked at him with her chin, and said, "Wang Changlin sent you out to patrol. On the surface, he entrusted you with the heavy responsibility of defending Jinling against monsters, but in fact he expelled you from the Wang family. The core of power. Even in your patrol team, the second-in-command is Wang Changlin's precious son, and no one will listen to you. It is not an option to continue like this."

Wang Ziling had no choice but to say, "Grandma, please stop hitting me."

"Then please beg me, if you beg me, I will help you." Qing Gu blinked, playful and cute.

In the past, Wang Ziling liked such a clever and lovely girl the most, but he really couldn't stand this aunt, and wished he could carry her to the Buddhist hall to worship.

"Auntie, I beg you." Wang Ziling resolutely compromised, not to mention begging her, as long as Auntie is happy, he has to find a way to pick off the stars in the sky.

"If you can't think of a way, then ask someone else for help. Come on, you follow me." Saying that, Qing Gu jumped off the railing and strode ahead.

Wang Ziling hurriedly followed, and after a while, the two stopped in front of a hut.Qinggu knocked on the door and raised her voice: "Grandma Zhu, are you there? Qinggu came to see you!"

It was still the young woman who opened the door, and Granny Zhu was still leaning against the window lazily basking in the sun just like the last time Meng Qiqi came to visit.

Qing Gu sweetly called "Mother-in-law", she stretched out her hand and cheerfully called her over, leaving Wang Ziling standing there alone in embarrassment.Fortunately, he has been in the Wang family for so many years, and he is used to such neglect and embarrassment, so he feels okay.

After a while, Granny Zhu and Qing Gu finished chatting, and then remembered that there was someone beside them, and asked, "Qing Gu, who is this?"

Qing Gu leaned on her side, said with a smile: "Back to the mother-in-law, this is Wang Ziling, the young master of the Wang family."

"Oh, so it's that incompetent kid from the Wang family." Granny Zhu glanced at him. Compared with her treatment of Aunt Qing, her attitude was a world above and below her.

Wang Ziling didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly knelt down and made a big salute, "Wan Sheng pays respects to Granny Zhu, please forgive me if I bother you."

Granny Zhu gave a non-serious "hmm", this time she didn't even bother to lift her eyelids, and while patting Qing Gu's little hand lightly, she said, "The water and soil in Jinling are really getting worse and worse. You didn’t learn Wang Shiyi’s demeanor at all in the past, but you all became idiots relying on women. Wang Changlin is like this, and so are you. When your father was not dead, I said he still had a little bit. My son hoped, but I didn't expect his son to be useless."

When Wang Ziling heard "relying on a woman", he wanted to refute, but when he heard her mention his father, he held back and remained silent.

Who is to blame?It's not that he's useless.

Wang Ziling was thinking like this, the more he thought about it, the more absorbed he became, he didn't notice that Granny Zhu hadn't spoken for a long time.Suddenly, Aunt Qing woke him up with a "fool".

Realizing his gaffe, he hastily apologized.He did this very naturally, apologizing as soon as he should, and he didn't feel that he was honorable at all.

No, wait.

What did Granny Zhu say just now?Relying on a woman's straw bag?

Wang Ziling suddenly seemed to be enlightened, as if he had opened up the two veins of Ren and Du, and his mind was clear.Why did Wang Changlin stand out among so many people when his parents died unexpectedly?You must know that Wang Changlin was not the only one who was qualified to succeed the Patriarch at that time. Their main line was weak, and their sidelines were eyeing, and even the elders put pressure on them. What about sitting at the head of the household?

It is true that Grand Elder Wang Jing wants to support a puppet, but a more important reason is that Wang Changlin married the most precious disciple of the Master of Ruizhu Palace, who is now Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang is a very smart woman. She never took power in the clan, and she never treated Wang Ziling harshly.But she has maintained the relationship between the Wang family and Ruizhu Palace for decades, and stabilized Wang Changlin's position as the head of the family.

If you want to overthrow Wang Changlin, you have to divide it into two ways: internal and external.One is to split the church from the inside through the Presbyterian Church, and the other is to suppress it from the outside.The line of Ruizhu Palace is undoubtedly the best choice for external suppression.

As long as Ruizhu Palace no longer supports Wang Changlin, then Wang Changlin's supporters will probably reconsider their choice.The old palace lord who loved Mrs. Wang the most has passed away. He has met the current palace lord Shangguan. She is a cold-faced heroine. Although she is serious, she has a good impression on Wang Ziling.

She and Wang Changlin should not be on the same path.

"Thank you Granny Zhu for your advice!" Wang Ziling sincerely bowed down.

Granny Zhu closed her eyes, "I didn't say anything, it's Qing Gu who pestered me to talk to me, what has it got to do with you?"

Wang Ziling was happy now, "Then thank you, little aunt."

Qing Gu winked at Wang Ziling triumphantly, and Granny Zhu nodded her forehead helplessly, and said, "What are you talking about, you have messed up your seniority."

"It's what he wants to call." Qing Gu explained.

"Yes, yes, my aunt said yes."

Grandma Zhu saw that one of them was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer, so she didn't care about the young people's affairs.But she patted Qing Gu's hand and said: "Don't underestimate Wang Changlin, young people are most taboo to underestimate the enemy. Wan Nan has already told me that he will return to the elder hall, but Wang Changlin will be brought down, yours The bargaining chips are far from enough."

Wang Ziling understood in his heart that centipedes are dead but not stiff, and these young beasts may have been poisoned to death before they killed each other.

At this moment, Aunt Qing said: "Master said, it's not a big deal if one knife is not enough. Wang Changlin can get married, and so can you, little fat man."

Wang Ziling was stunned, "Who should I contact?"

"I am. Gushan Jiange is currently the personal disciple of the junior uncle, the most beloved junior sister. My senior brother is still the heir of the Chen family. Brother Qingya in Tianzhu Mountain treats me like a sister. Is it not as good as a Aunt Wang?"

Qinggu crossed her arms and raised her chin slightly, imitating her master's arrogance when beating someone.
