Chapter 625 High Roller 1
Chapter 625 High Roller 1
"Wang, I miss you so much after a long time." Leaning slightly, Lan An smiled brightly.
"King." Ji Chun completely ignored Wen Renjue's jumping down from the roof, touched the hair on his clothes, and saluted respectfully.
"Your way of appearance is too different." Xiang Yang waved his hand, and after all the vines disappeared, he gritted his teeth.
Shuyi had no expression on his face, waited for Wen Renjue to tidy up his clothes, walked forward slowly, and asked with a smile on his face, "Which one do you play?"
Wen Renjue felt guilty and didn't even bother to explain. He yawned and changed the subject: "Why did you come here together? What's the matter?"
With a steady expression, without giving Shuyi a chance to speak again, he walked directly into the building.
Standing where he was, he let out a long sigh, and Shuyi had no choice but to follow up.
After sending all the people away, Wen Renjue opened the window, poured himself a glass of red wine, and lighted a cigarette by the way.
Seeing his inexplicable expression, Wei Duan didn't dare to disturb him rashly, and quietly accompanied him until the night was completely dark. You have been absent-minded for the past month, is it because of... White Sandalwood?"
"Huh?" Wen Renjue was really busy in the first few months, and after that, when he was free, Wei Duan always felt that his master was a little strange.
He always looks thoughtful, and it is rare to be in a daze in action.
"You miss him?"
"It's a bit boring." Yes, it doesn't feel like people don't send them away. It's really cold without a chattering person around.
When people are around, they always feel impatient and make people quiet, but now, there is really no one around him who dares to jump up and down, and he feels lonely again.
"Even if you are bored, you have to be patient. Now is not the time," Wei Duan advised, fearing that Wen Ren Jue would do something crazy, "Anyway, you should rest first?"
It's early morning.
"Not in a hurry," poured himself a drink, Wen Ren Jue's eyes were deep, "the man hasn't arrived yet."
"Ah?" Wei Duan was puzzled, "Are you waiting for someone?"
Supporting the window frame with one hand, Wen Renjue stretched out his hand, staring at the sparks dancing between his fingers in the dark, and raised the corner of his mouth.
There was no answer. After straightening up, he picked up the goblet he had just put down and closed his eyes to enjoy the night breeze.
Wei Duan was very confused. Before that, there was no guard to say that someone wanted to see him, but the master didn't sleep most of the night, who was he waiting for?
Just as he thought of asking Tianyan to go out to see the situation, there were footsteps outside the door.
"My lord?" The guards who watched the night were probably also surprised, and they were a little confused when they asked for instructions.
Wen Renjue raised his hand and knocked on the window pane lightly, upon hearing this, the door was opened from the outside.
Shu Yi hadn't changed his formal attire during the day, and stepped in with a serious expression. Behind him, Pan Zhiyi looked indifferent, and he was also dressed in family clothing.
"It's midnight, what are the two of them doing here?" Wei Duan was wondering, when he saw someone walking in from outside the door.
In a short time, there were ten big men standing in Wenrenjue's bedroom.
"This is..." Seeing that Lan An and the others were all present and dressed up, Wei Duan said nervously, "Forcing the palace?"
Can there be a better explanation than this?But why didn't you hear any news before?Or, there have been rumors, but it has been ignored?
Having experienced so many things, Weiduan is completely convinced by the ability of human beings to intrigue.
Silent, Shuyi walked up to Wenrenjue fearlessly, across the desk, took out the communicator being connected from his arms, and put it on the table.
A bright light flashed, and a small projection appeared in midair.
The mouse that was supposed to be outside was standing in a dark corner, looking at Wen Ren Jue through the video.
ok...
Wei Duan didn't dare to make a sound at all, except for him, the eleven family members were all present in various forms.
"Aren't you ready to go to bed yet?" Shuyi put down the communicator, retreated back to the queue, and said calmly.
Wen Ren Jue swept them one by one, and said in a very thought-provoking tone, "You are not going to sleep either."
"Aren't you curious?"
"What are you curious about?" Slowly, he put the goblet on the table, Wen Renjue pulled the chair back, bowed his head and lit a cigarette for himself.
The dialogue between the monarch and his ministers was inexplicable. In this atmosphere, Wei Duan continued to keep quiet.
"Curious why we collectively appear here."
"It can't be betrayal, right?" He raised his eyes with a half-smile, Wen Renjue was so loose that the veins on Shuyi's forehead popped.
Taking two deep breaths, Shuyi calmed himself down, "No."
"That's good," Wen Renjue raised his head after exhaling the smoke, pretending to be sad, "Otherwise I will be very sad."
"Get straight to the point." Pan Zhiyi couldn't listen anymore, if Shuyi continued to be so tactful, the person in front of him would not be honest.
Their king is very bad in his bones, if he wants to communicate normally, he can only be restrained every step of the way.
"Are you going to show up again?" This kind of subtle unease was so familiar that Pan Zhiyi never kept his face when he saw it, and simply said: "Are you going to disappear mysteriously again without telling me?"
Wei Duan was shocked.
The master is preparing for fusion, shouldn't it be the only one who knows?
Wen Renjue stared at Pan Zhiye, his face was a little blurred by the lingering smoke, he was not surprised that someone would ask such a question.
After getting along for so many years, it can be said that the group of people in front of me already know me very well on a certain level, and the two gentlemen I personally selected are the most intelligent people in the world. It will only become more difficult to deal with, not to mention Shuyi and Pan Zhiyi, which of these people standing opposite is really simple.
"Ah~" Like a sigh but not a sigh, he suddenly became annoyed.
From the very beginning, with a certain mood, he didn't draw the boundaries of the main minister completely. In fact, he must have expected something like this to happen in his heart.
It's just that they didn't expect them to be so bold.
"Look, you are not surprised that we will guess, you are still so calm, because you know that we can't interfere with your decision, even if we know you are leaving, we can't stop it." With a little sarcasm, Shu Yi held Clenched fist.
Wen Renjue was helpless, but he couldn't say anything.
He did guess that his subordinates would see it, and he also guessed that they would stop him, but he was even more sure that he could leave.
A new fusion is about to start, and he has no time to waste.
The two gentlemen spoke in turn, and the others were silent. Wen Renjue looked at it for a moment and knew in his heart that the people standing opposite must have had a tacit understanding.
With a blank expression on his face, he waited for the compromise from Lan An and the others.
Although they are allowed to approach them in order to experience some feelings, in principle, Wen Renjue believes that he can grasp it thoroughly. This group of people, at most, will not be too presumptuous for a while, because as they know themselves, Wen Renjue He also understands them, and even single-handedly selected and promoted them, so he is more aware of the weaknesses of these people.
Considering the reality or other reasons, how dare they fight to the end with themselves. The so-called deadly remonstrance will only happen when the superiors themselves are shaken.
"bass!"
The light flashed, and Weiduan cried out in surprise in his mind.
The peace of Wen Ren Jue was finally broken, and he frowned.
Holding the dagger in his hand against his throat, Shuyi said in a low voice, "What about this? Have you thought about it?"
Looking from left to right, Wen Renjue's face was extremely ugly.
It seems to be agreed, including the always calm black tiger... the mouse who is thousands of miles away, and Lang Xinghai, an incomprehensible latecomer, and eleven dependents, all of whom have cold-light daggers on their necks .
"Guess what, are we serious?"
"Master..." Wei Duan stammered from shock to stupidity, "This is... what happened?"
The thoughtful family members are all grown-ups logically, and they all have responsibilities and ambitions on them, but why are they still playing the game of forcing them to death...
"You are our king, if you want to leave because of mistrust, what are we doing alive?"
It's really not like Shuyi would say such willful words.
Wen Renjue was stunned for a moment, and after realizing it, he glared at Lan An.
"Hello!" He was neither angry nor happy, but mixed with helplessness and surprise, and a little... at a loss, Wen Renjue didn't know how to react for a while.
Everyone has a different life experience, Lan An and his group cherish their lives very much, no matter what, they will not use their lives as a bargaining chip, but Wen Renjue stubbed out the cigarette butt and suddenly went crazy, it was serious!This group of people, this group of people who would never take their own lives as a bargaining chip, are serious this time!
He had no doubt that if the stalemate continued, the eleven daggers in front of him would see blood.
"Are you crazy?" He cursed in a deep voice, it was the first time that Wen Ren Jue lost his composure in front of his subordinates.
"We are indeed crazy!" Shuyi said firmly, "Dare to threaten you collectively, this is the first madness, thinking that our lives can threaten you, this is the second madness, since we are crazy, then we might as well go with you Take a gamble."
"What are you betting on?" His eyes changed, and Wen Renjue suppressed his anger.
"Bet on whether you have us in your heart or not," Shuyi was unwavering, unwavering, "If you win, you must learn to trust us to stay in the royal city, if you lose..." Looking at everyone, Shuyi understated , "Please ask someone from outside to come in and collect the corpse for us."
"What if I don't gamble?" Wen Renjue narrowed his eyes.
"You know that there is no such option." He increased the strength of his hand, and blood flowed from Shuyi's neck.
Staring at the crystal nuclei inlaid on the eleven daggers, Wen Renjue slammed his fist on the table, gritted his teeth and said with a sneer, "You guys are very nice!"
"The situation is stable. Although it will be turbulent, without them, Nirvana is still Nirvana." Wei Duan recovered from the shock, and was very angry at such persecution, "This is disobedience and disrespect for you!"
Little pawns, how dare you do this! ?
Walking around from behind the desk, Wen Renjue stared at him one by one, and everyone looked at him one by one without giving in.
"You are king, we are ministers, life is very important, but your distrust is the greatest humiliation to us." Pan Zhiyi said slowly, "We don't care if we are not at this position and height, but today... ..."
As if speaking on behalf of everyone present, Pan Zhiyi said clearly: "We want your respect, otherwise, even if we are one person under ten thousand people, we will only be ridiculed by the world."
"You really think I have to do it with you?" Wen Renjue said coldly, with a murderous look in his eyes.
"You can't bear us," Lan An said with a hippie smile, lifting his chin to reveal the wound on his neck, "My lord, I'm in so much pain."
"..." Looking sideways, Yan Zhen was a little speechless, but... seeing Ren Jue's cold expression, he hesitated for a while, and then shouted: "Wang, it hurts~"
"..." Lang Xinghai reacted quickly, he didn't throw the dagger, but there was some complaint and grievance in his eyes, "My lord, if you don't stop bleeding, you will collapse."
"..." Heihu moved his lips and tried hard for a long time, but he still didn't have the nerve to shout out.
Ji Chunjue was disgusted, but the situation was stronger than others. He coughed twice and put on a soft tone. He closed his eyes and braced himself, "Wang, it hurts~"
"Boss..." Using the address he used when he was a student, Zhu Ge said seriously, "It really hurts."
"..." Xu Tang's complexion changed colorfully, wishing he could get into the ground and bury himself.
"Wang..." Even if it wasn't face to face, the mouse's voice still trembled. He called first, and everyone waited for his second sentence, but unfortunately, after holding back and holding back, he squeezed out the word "pain" halfway. , and finally popped out a sentence, "You should spare me!"
He would rather go to the battlefield and fight ten times than disgust himself to death like this.
"..." Wei Duan was speechless.
Wen Renjue's eyelids twitched, and he turned his back to the crowd.
Lan An and the others held their breath, not daring to blink.
No one saw the specific expression of Qingwen Renjue. After 5 minutes of absolute silence, he raised his hand and calmly ordered, "The king's residence will be sealed in three days, and no one is allowed to enter except the personal guards."
"Yes!" Qi Song heaved a sigh of relief, and before everyone could show their joy, Wen Renjue in front of them put his hands behind his back and turned his back to them word by word, "We will be slow... slow... for this account with you in the future... Calculate."
The author has something to say: This chapter is the last chapter of the four volumes, and it is finally over! ! ! ! ! !Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! ! ! ! ! !
so happy~
Zhuizi always felt that the four volumes had been written for a long time, a long time, a long time, but he didn’t expect it to be so long. After looking back, he found that the four volumes started on October 17, 10. Today, a whole year, twelve Moon!
The fourth volume is the longest volume of this article, and the next volume is the fifth volume, which is the last volume of the pardon. The kind of book) I also thought about cutting four volumes in the middle, but in the end I wrote it down according to the outline without any changes.In fact, pardon the feeling that no classification is suitable for this article, four major classifications.Modern and modern is definitely not the case, and neither is antique. I chose the latter among fictional history and fantasy future. Actually, it doesn’t count.It's also like an alternate history, and of course it's also a fantasy future. (confused)
Thank you very much for subscribing and supporting here, without you, there would be no such complete pardon.
In order to celebrate, I will sprinkle red envelopes indefinitely tonight, (the amount is not large, everyone is happy) remember to bubble.
I obviously wanted to complain about [-] words, but I didn’t know what to say, haha, let’s make another comparison? (I love you guys)
Volume 5 The Key of the Stars The Return of the King Chapter 626 Thoughts of the Old Man
"Dinner?" Bai Tan raised his voice, his face full of disbelief, "Glenn, did you hear me right?"
"of course not."
"But..." Although he was excited, Bai Tan was still very cautious, "I haven't gone out for a year."
"Master, they can't lock you up forever, and the family priest is coming soon."
"Although I said this..." Feeling uneasy, Bai Tan fluttered in the room, "Father, did they forgive me?"
"This..." Not daring to speculate, Glenn said honestly, "I don't know either, but as long as you can go out, it will be fine."
"But what if I get into trouble again?"
Asking so frankly, Glenn choked a little, "Then you can do it, be honest."
God knows how he survived that night when he received the news eight years ago. Although it was said that he went to Tia Star to recuperate, how could he hide the specific inside story from those around Bai Tan.
"If you don't want to lose me." Fearing that people would not take it to heart, Glenn solemnly reminded.
Happiness vanished in an instant, because of the person's words, Bai Tan turned pale, and said in a low hoarse voice: "I see."
Back then, he ran away from home and dealt with a large number of people. Among them were many stewards under his name. Many people lost their lives after they couldn't find him, and some people's whereabouts are still unknown.
This is the pain in Bai Tan's heart. Countless times, he was forced by guilt to have nightmares all night long.
Glenn's psychological pressure is also not small. Back then, his position was not high, so he escaped a catastrophe. But after returning from the guardian of the Bai family, because of his strong ability and carefulness, he was personally named by the head of the Bai family and placed next to Bai Tan. After a year of getting along, the two have developed a tacit understanding and affection. Seeing the expression of the person he followed, he couldn't bear it, and said gently: "You don't forget what you promised us when you came back a year ago."
Although he didn't intervene in the family's management, Bai Tan has registered a resource planet under his name since the day he was born. There are not many residents on it, but those people completely depend on him to live.
"Ah."
The meaning of existence……
Bai Tan did not dare to forget a single word of what the second brother said when he came back a year ago. During those nights when he couldn't fall asleep, he thought over and over again, and finally determined the answer.
The meaning of his existence is to exist.
Like an object or like a dead body, existing silently, the Bai family provided him with rich clothes, fine food and food, and asked him to completely abandon himself and live like someone else set him up.
For so many years, didn't I come here like this?
Seeing Glenn's serious expression, Bai Tan raised the corner of his mouth to give a comforting smile, "I see, you step back first."
Seeing the person's thin body floating to the window, with his back turned to him and motionless, Glenn stood silently for a while, and then said after a long time: "Everything is ready, the dinner starts at eight o'clock, I guess your two friends should also will attend."
Bai Tan trembled, restrained his excitement, and still looked at the window.
Knowing that people were not as calm as they appeared, Glenn sighed silently, stopped talking, and stepped back gracefully to leave.
The room became quiet again, Bai Tan took a deep breath, and opened the bracelet with bright eyes.
It's a pity that the authority is still under confiscation, and he can't contact the outside world for the time being.
"I can go out now..." He clasped his hands, and after thinking for a while, Bai Tan closed his eyes, and when he calmed down, he went to the bedside to light the incense, and when the fragrance was on his body, he opened the door and went out to float under the bell boat tree.
After eight years of absence, the Suzuki tree did not wither because of losing his care, it still stood tall and luxuriant on this hillside.
"Actually, you are the one who is protecting me..." Touching the tree trunk with one hand, Bai Tan pressed his forehead against it. When the wind blew, the transparent glass bottles hanging under the canopy made a crisp sound.
He raised his head, his gaze slowly becoming a little loose.
……
The main purpose of the dinner held by the Chen family was to auction a batch of ancient books. They released the news three months ago that all the money they got would be donated to the homeless refugees.
Whether it's for being arty or showing one's benevolence, the prominent families of the main star will send representatives to participate. Although it hasn't arrived yet, various speeding cars and ground cars have already appeared early one after another.
The Chen family, the head of the six major families, invites as the host, no matter what the consideration is, everyone will give enough face.
Bai Tan was not the only one from the Bai family to attend, his elder brother would also go with him tonight, bringing him along, it was more like an official announcement to the outside world.
The guardian of the Bai family is back, and those rumors that he died and eloped with others will be self-defeating.
For so many years, Bai Tan never showed his face, even the last family sacrifice did not appear, the outside world has long had all kinds of suspicions, many of which are malicious remarks against the Bai family, but it is a pity that the Bai family did not act for it from the beginning to the end. Moved, very calm.
Watching the Bai family's convoy coming in from a distance, some of the people arranged by the Chen family left and ran into the building.
After getting off the car, Bai Feng didn't go directly into the building, but waited there with a few confidants.
"..."
Chen Huaichuan touched his chin, condescendingly inspecting the young man walking behind Bai Feng... no, the floating youth.
"That's Bai Tan?" A beautiful woman leaned up behind him, and gently breathed on his ear.
"The Bai family has kept a low profile over the past few years." The room located on a high place can have a good view of the entire venue.
In the room of more than 70 square meters, only a small lamp was lit. In the dimness, a tall slender man walked up behind Chen Huaichuan, picked up the enchanting woman and threw it to his feet.
"Hey!" The woman called out softly, pretending to be pitiful and raised her head with her pouty mouth. Before she could be coquettish, she touched her cold and ruthless eyes.
"..." Cleverly got up from the ground, the woman picked up the silk scarf at the side, and without daring to say another word, quickly exited the room.
She is the most favored lover around Chen Huaichuan, but she has also seen the most vicious tricks.
The so-called "favor" is just for fun, offending these people around Chen Huaichuan, she will only die, no, I'm afraid that death will become an extravagant hope.
"Why, do you think they have ideas?" Chen Huaichuan had already taken a sip of his wine, and turned around with his head down.
"Bai Jingfeng is a thousand-year-old fox. It's hard to understand the situation now. How could he touch it rashly?"
"Oh?"
"But the rest of the Bai family may not think so."
"You mean the next two?"
"The cake of the alliance has not changed for thousands of years. Now that some people have changed their minds, others will inevitably fish in troubled waters."
"Fishing in troubled waters?" Seeing the halo light up on the noble-looking young man's head, Chen Huaichuan raised the corner of his mouth, tapped his index finger on the screen, and swiped across the face, "The water is so muddy, there might be piranhas hidden underneath it." Woolen cloth."
The conversation between the two was cryptic.
Taking a sip of wine, Chen Huaichuan stretched his slender legs, and stepped on the moving youth on the screen with his heels.
Bai Tan bought an ancient book at a high price, and he didn't listen to it when it was introduced on stage. After he sat down, he started looking for Leng Mo and Helian Chengfeng.
Until he was invited to the stage by the host, he was still a little distracted.
"Thank you." "I like it very much." After casually answering two questions, his tone was a little cold.
He was not interested in the contents of the book that the host kept talking about. Perhaps these ancient books are indeed rare, but what does the Bai family have?
There is no need to please anyone, the etiquette is in place, before stepping down from the stage, Bai Tan nodded and smiled.
Even if his mission is completed tonight, he just came out to show his face anyway, and his elder brother will take care of all the rest.
After finally patiently waiting for the auction to end and the banquet to begin, Bai Tan slipped away from his elder brother under the pretext of going to the bathroom.
At the Nuo Conference venue, I turned half a circle and didn't see Leng Mo and Helian Chengfeng, Bai Tan was in a low mood, guessing that these two friends probably didn't come at all.
However, Glenn would not say that for no reason. There must be some rumors about the event he was going to attend tonight. Why should Leng Mo and Helian Chengfeng come to see him?
Or, have you forgotten the eight years of friendship you have had since you were a child?
Thinking not to cause trouble in his heart, his eyes flicked across the crowd, and besides being wronged, Bai Tan became angry.
"Hello, do you need a rest?" Sulked alone, and a waiter in front of him asked politely.
Bai Tan maintained the coldness on his face, just when he was about to refuse, he took out a small object from his bosom.
"Where is he?" His eyes changed, and Bai Tan hurried.
"Lounge No. [-]." The waiter's expression remained unchanged, he raised his finger in a direction, and bowed his head to leave.
Bai Tan turned around and walked there, walking quickly, but stopped suddenly after ten steps, alertly sent a message to his elder brother.
There were many resting rooms around the venue. He quickly found a place, and before raising his hand, he took a deep breath.
The reunion after a long absence... In addition to being excited, he was also a little bit uneasy.
Fortunately, after knocking on the door, I didn't wait too long, and the door was opened from the inside.
There are two big sofas and a water bed floating in the air in the small lounge, Bai Tan immediately looked at the sofa.
A young man with a familiar face sat upright, and beside him, a taller young man leaned against him.
When he entered the room, the eyes of the two men fell on him.
I haven't seen each other for eight years. The indifference and Helian Chengfeng have changed a lot, and their childishness has completely faded away. If it weren't for the facial features, Bai Tan would not even dare to recognize each other for a while. Feeling dissipated, Bai Tan unexpectedly froze.
The three of them were silent, looking at each other silently.
The atmosphere in the room was not awkward, but gradually heavy.
"Bai Tan." In the end, it was Leng Mo who spoke first.
Standing up from the sofa, he was not as happy and excited as Bai Tan imagined.
"Indifference..." Blinking his eyes, Bai Tan suddenly panicked.
"You..." Although the appearance has changed, but there are some small movements, the indifferent hands drooped and wiped the pants lightly, and said in a low voice: "How have you been in the past eight years in Tia Star?"
"Tiya Star?" Bai Tan's voice was hoarse.
"Yeah..." Leng Mo looked away, smiled and said: "The Bai family said that you are weak and went to Tia Star to recuperate for eight years."
"What bullshit Tiya star?!" Taking a deep breath, Bai Tan's eyes turned red.Yes, the second elder brother and his family have urged him not to tell the real experience to the outside world, but the two in front of him are his naked brothers who have grown up playing with each other. Although they have quarreled with each other, they are all him. The most cherished and valued friends.
His scolding was obviously unexpected indifferently, and he turned his gaze back in a daze.
"You know it well!" Bursting with grievances, Bai Tan looked straight at him, tears streaming down his face, "I went out privately and encountered an accident."
"Where have you been?" The alienation disappeared long ago with Bai Tan's crying, and a look of anxiety finally appeared on his indifferent face.
"Earth."
"what?"
"Bastard! I finally came back from a narrow escape, and you..." Sobbing, Bai Tan became angry, "You still treat me like this."
Leaning on the sofa, the grim-looking young man finally straightened up, looking at the foolishly indifferent Bai Tan who was crying wantonly, shook his head and raised the corners of his mouth.
The author has something to say: Recently, the angle of view will be on the white sandalwood.The fifth volume is starting, okay~
