Chapter 87: Defeat
Before he could say anything, Liu Jin presented the pastry to him. Rong Zhi glanced at the delicate pastry but did not eat it. "Rong doesn't like sweets, so I'm afraid he is ignoring my wife's wishes."
Li Shengxi was not surprised by his reaction, and she didn't expect Rong Zhi to eat her cakes. Hearing this, a slight look of despair appeared on her face, but she didn't seem surprised, "That's it..."
Rongzhi is a romantic man. In the past, he was paraded on horseback and was thrown into a chariot. However, he has a firm mind and never wavers. When faced with a woman who expresses his love, he will not be like an ordinary boy who doesn't know how to deal with himself, nor does he know how to deal with it.
He will flirt with you everywhere like those romantic men.
He will just refuse firmly.
But he was facing Liang Yin, so maybe his mentality would be different, and he might be helpless and annoyed. After all, what about Liang Yin who he "provoked" first? Although his several attempts put Liang Yin in danger,
But she is a real "hero saving the beauty". Liang Yin is not a girl who knows nothing about the world, but she is not a Taoist nun who has no desires or pursuits.
Rong Zhi rescued her several times and was a good-natured person, so she would be tempted and not unexpected.
Rong Zhi is a man who is upright and compassionate at heart. If he accidentally "let down" others, he will feel guilty. Li Shengxi just wants to borrow his "guilt". Once he feels guilty, he will not treat her again.
With such heavy suspicion, he would even lose his guard because he wanted to avoid her.
She forced a smile and found an excuse to give herself a step down, "Speaking of which, there were some twists and turns when I sent Liu Jin to buy this box of pastries today. I happened to encounter Shence Army's operation, which delayed some time.
, I’m afraid this pastry is no longer fresh, so it’s okay if you don’t eat it.”
"Shen Ce Army?" Rong Zhi's attention was quickly attracted by the three words "Shen Ce Army". Now Guan Zhi is back in charge of the Shen Ce Army, and the Shen Ce Army is very majestic because of the suppression of bandits. His first
My first reaction was that Shence Army was causing trouble again.
This is also true.
Li Shengxi glanced at Liu Jin, but he said nothing, pushing the lid of the tea a little lonely.
Liu Jin understood and said it without reservation.
Rong Zhi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Zhan Qirui had protected the scholars. Not long ago, Guan Zhi arrested many scholars in the name of "secret agents", which caused many students to criticize. Fortunately, Guan Zhi's arrests were only for the purpose of intimidation. Did he arrest him?
He was released within a few days. In addition, Zhan Qirui listened to some of his words and focused on people's livelihood, instead of just focusing on the suppression of the party.
If not, the instigation of this person will definitely cause a sudden change among the students, which will give the governor a legitimate opportunity to suppress the students, and the consequences will be disastrous.
Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked at Li Shengxi, only to see that the other person didn't care what Liu Jin said and was just in a daze.
Rong Zhi felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
The two exchanged a few words casually, and Li Shengxi asked to leave. Rong Zhi looked at the figure who was almost running away, and his heart became more and more complicated.
After Li Shengqi returned to the carriage, he smiled broadly, "Liu Jin, have you seen his appearance? In the past, I always said that she was young and mature, and she was shrewd. But now, it seems that she is still inexperienced in the world and does not know the sinister nature of people's hearts."
.”
There was a smile in her voice, and if she hadn't been worried about being outside, she would have laughed out loud.
After all, he was a student of orthodox ethics. Even though he now serves as a thief, some things in his heart have not changed at all.
Although he has talent and means, if he were to change places with her and experience what she experienced when she was a teenager, he might not be able to play with those old things and little things.
Liu Jin was a little helpless. After Li Shengxi became a little normal, she asked again: "Why did Sanniang tell Rong Zhi about the restaurant?"
Li Shengxi's smile faded, but she didn't answer Liu Jin's question. To be honest, she didn't quite believe her reasons.
She wanted Rong Zhi to notice Zhan Qirui's selling of test questions. Li Shengxi didn't think Guan Zhi would hide it from Rong Zhi, at least not for a long time.
Rong Zhi will definitely have countermeasures, but he may not notice Zhan Qirui.
To be fair, Li Shengxi did not want Zhan Qirui to be dragged down by Guan Zhi because of this matter. For a knowledgeable person to be wronged like this is tantamount to ruining his life.
Perhaps because of that dream, watching Zhan Qirui behave like this, she couldn't help but feel sad that things hurt others, and Qiu Ming also felt sad.
But when I thought about it again, I felt that I was being hypocritical and ridiculous. The Northern Qi Dynasty was a building that was about to collapse. There were countless people who were suffering and being wronged. How could I be able to save it?
It’s better to save the people around you first.
Unlike Li Shengxi, who had thousands of thoughts and everything was ready, everything was not going well on Rong Zhi's side. Except for the progress on Yu Hua Dan, he had no idea about the rest of the matters yet.
Liang Yin's identity can basically be confirmed temporarily. But as a result, the news about Zhao Yu has disappeared. And there is Guan Zhi, Guan Zhi is too calm these days, even Shence Army, who should be proud
They felt quite at peace, and except for the small incident in the restaurant last time, they made no move.
In the past, students were occasionally arrested, but now nothing is done.
Is it because the scientific examination is about to take place? No, this does not seem to be the style of governing intellectuals.
The calmness in front of him made Rong Zhi feel uneasy, and he remembered what Guan Zhi said about paving the way for him.
If there is no action on a small matter, there must be a big plan.
Rong Zhi made an excuse today to avoid the person Guan Zhi placed beside him, dressed in casual clothes, and went to the restaurant to meet Zuo Xin.
"Brother, I heard that you were injured a few days ago. How are you now? Are you feeling better?" As soon as Zuo Xin saw Rong Zhi walking in, he was concerned. He looked around at Rong Zhi again and saw that he was out of breath.
It looked so perfect that I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"I'm fine." Rong Zhi said a little funny.
"It's okay." Zuo Xin breathed a sigh of relief and took out another brocade box, "Brother, this is a wild ginseng I bought. Please keep it."
"Where did you get the money?" Rong Zhi raised his eyebrows. He was already poor enough. To be honest, he rented the boat he performed in last time, not bought it. Zuo Xin was even poorer than him, where did he get it from?
Money to buy wild ginseng?
Zuo Xin smiled awkwardly, "Senior brother, you asked me to check for the Feathering Pill - this kind of thing is not only available with some high-ranking officials, but also among the Xirong people. I can't get in touch with the high-ranking officials, so I can only get it from the Xirong people."
They were free, either visiting brothels or going to gambling houses. I just went to gambling houses a few times... But don't worry, senior brother, I really didn't gamble much. I just wanted to get close to them, so I had to quit two games.
.Unexpectedly, I was very lucky in those two games, so I won some money. Senior brother, I will not get addicted to gambling."
Zuo Xin almost immediately promised. Although he didn't study much, he also knew that there were some things that were absolutely uncontaminated.
He had no choice. Although Northern Qi and Xirong had not started trade, it did not mean that they did not communicate with each other. There were still many Xirong people in the Western Market. If you wanted to have quiet contact, you could only go to brothels and gambling houses.
He can't pretend to be a regular customer in a brothel, but he can still give it a try as an addict in a gambling house.
