Li Xiang had a look of confusion on his face. He didn't understand why Miss Zhang didn't look well. Could it be that she was on her menstrual period?
He made this guess.
My mind was quickly thinking about what a girl could drink to relieve herself in that situation.
"nothing."
Hearing this, Zhang Yuexi smiled slightly and said as if unintentionally: "Since we happened to meet each other, let's go for a walk together?"
Then, without waiting for a reply, she continued: "You won't even give me this little face, right?"
There was a soft smile on her face, and she blinked narrowly.
Seeing this, Li Xiang took back the rejection that was on his lips and said with a smile: "Okay."
Now that they have met, there is nothing wrong with traveling together. After all, they have given him many good things, and for this reason, it would be inappropriate to refuse.
This is the short-handedness of taking advantage of others, the short-sightedness of eating others, and being indebted to others.
The two of them traveled together. Although one was practicing martial arts and the other was a lady, they both managed many subordinates, managed their own power, and had many common conversations.
In addition, Zhang Yuexi is good at dancing, has an exquisite mind, and is good at listening. Even when she has nothing to say, she can be a listener and listen to Li Xiang's narration about how much progress he has made in martial arts recently, what chassis the Qingzhu Gang has won, etc.
The topic of conversation turned to the difficulties faced by Li Xiang, he said.
"I have a strong enemy who is about to come to my door and challenge me for a duel. He is so strong that I have trouble sleeping and eating."
When he said this, he had no other intention. He just wanted to vent the pressure in his heart. The arrival of Jin Wuzi really made him feel dazed and it was difficult to concentrate. It is difficult for a warrior who has not fought against a super first-class warrior to understand.
That kind of qualitative difference.
Even if he tried his best and performed exceptionally at that time, he still couldn't be hurt at all. On the contrary, his proud defense was vulnerable to the opponent.
"I have three strategies: upper, middle and lower."
After pondering for a while, Zhang Yuexi slowly said: "The next plan is to give gifts to the ministers. Peace is the most important thing. Wait until the strength becomes stronger in the future before making any plans."
"Falling into a trap, use your strength to join someone stronger, or find helpers of the same level to surround and kill the enemy."
"The best plan is to rule by doing nothing, the golden mean. You hide for ten or eight years. With your talent, no matter how strong your opponent is, you won't be able to worry about it."
"Of these three strategies, I suggest you choose the third one. It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. There is no need to fight for a moment's glory."
"No."
Li Xiang shook his head slightly and said: "I choose the next trick, I want to defeat him head-on!"
Although there is a huge gap between the enemy and us, he also has magical weapons. As long as he can refine the cold soul before the opponent comes, he can also reach the top level.
By then, he would have the capital to fight with him.
If he uses other means, although he may be safe, even if he abandons the consequences of those choices, his faith will be damaged.
Things like belief and will are the most complicated. What is certain is that, among people of equal strength, one has belief and the other does not, the combat power displayed by both parties is huge, and once he retreats this time, he will still be able to do it in the future.
Can it become stronger?
Even if there is a plug-in, the only thing that can be improved is the body, but the spirit cannot interfere.
"No, this is the best way. However, since we are a powerful enemy, fighting will inevitably be accompanied by huge dangers. Have you thought clearly?"
Zhang Yuexi stared at the man opposite her with a heavy heart.
"I thought very clearly." Li Xiang turned around and looked around. Unknowingly, they had arrived at a place with fewer people.
Not far ahead, there is a high arch bridge with a turquoise lake below. This bridge is located on Hongting Street, so it is named Hongding Bridge.
It was here that the original person and Zhang Yuexi met for the first time. It was also because of that meeting that the two became fateful.
Seeing each other again now, my mood was completely different from before.
"I still remember that I ran away from home and was harassed by a group of gangsters here. I was saved by you, who was still the gangster at the time."
Recalling the past, the smile on Zhang Yuexi's lips became more obvious. In fact, she did not run away from home that time, but she had something to deal with in a low-key manner. She only had one guard with her, but she encountered some accidents that time and the guard did not arrive in time.
But, having said that, even if Li Xiang didn't save her, those gangsters wouldn't be able to succeed, because it won't be long before the worshipers who protect her will arrive.
"yes."
Li Xiang nodded, but couldn't empathize with him, because it was actually the original body that met Zhang Yuexi at Hongding Bridge, not him. Even though he had most of the memories of this body, there were still some differences between the two.
.
For a moment, both of them fell silent. Zhang Yuexi was enjoying the atmosphere, while Li Xiang didn't know what to say, so he simply stopped.
At this time, the sky gradually darkened, and the wild white moonlight filtered through the clouds, bringing a different kind of beauty to the silent night.
"It's time for you to go back. If you don't leave, the old man won't know how anxious he will be."
He glanced vaguely behind him. Not far away, there was an old man looking around nonchalantly, as if admiring the surrounding scenery. But two hours ago, that guy was wandering around them.
After walking so far and still following them, he knew in his heart that this should be the offering sent by the Zhang family to protect them.
It has to be said that the Zhang family is indeed very powerful. There are four worshipers in total, and each of them has reached the second-rate level in strength. Although they cannot compare with the veteran second-rate ones like Chi Li and Liao Wenjie, they definitely have the corresponding level of strength.
In terms of high-end military force alone, the Zhang family's power is still higher than that of the Qingzhu Gang and the Santanhui.
"All right."
Zhang Yuexi pouted and turned towards the old man. Halfway there, she looked back and saw Li Xiang looking at her quietly and watching her leave. In an instant, her mood improved a lot.
, waved his hand, said "goodbye", then turned around and disappeared into the night.
At this time, the little girl also jumped out from the side, chirping and asking questions.
"Sister, what did you and Brother Li Xiang say just now?"
When she saw Brother Li Xiang just now, she had the good sense to hide. Now when she saw the elder sister coming back, she immediately cheered.
"Little girl, eat your candied haws."
However, what greeted Zhang Xingxi was the eldest sister's gentle flick of her fingers on her forehead, which immediately made her curl her lips in dissatisfaction and start acting coquettishly.
Listening to the faint laughter, Li Xiang shook his head and walked slowly towards some stalls. At night, there were more people setting up stalls. Today is a rare day in Beibo City where there is no curfew. Many stalls
Good things that you haven't seen in the past may appear in the night market.
He couldn't just miss it.
…
squeak.
The chirping of insects echoed everywhere, and the connected courtyards were still brightly lit.
"Miss, the master asked you to go to his place when you come back."
Seeing Sister Zhang Yuexi getting off the carriage, the guard at the gate quickly reported them.
"knew."
Zhang Yuexi nodded, thinking that her father was looking for her to discuss some business issues or personnel matters. Little did she know that what happened next would make her fall into the first low point in her life.
After crossing the garden, grass, rockery, and running water, she slowly came to a main house and knocked on the door.
"who?"
"it's me."
"come in."
When a steady and powerful voice came from inside, she opened the door and walked in.
The lamp oil keeps the fire core burning brightly, and the white lantern paper isolates it from the outside world.
There are three such oil lanterns in this house, and each of them may be the entire expense of an ordinary family for a month or even a year.
A middle-aged man in a white robe was leaning over to write copy. When he heard footsteps approaching behind him, he stopped and said in a nonchalant manner: "I heard that you often go to Hongding Street recently, looking for
A man named Li Xiang?"
"What's wrong, father?" Zhang Yuexi frowned slightly, wondering what the other party meant when he suddenly mentioned this.
"In the past, it was okay to mess around. You were young and ignorant, so it was understandable, but now you are making fun of your own life-long event, which is too much."
Zhang family leader Rengui sighed softly and said: "You are the daughter of my Zhang family, how can you associate with a gangster? If you really want to find him, I have no objection, but at least you have to be well-matched, right?"
"Li Xiangcai is not a gangster, he is the leader of the Qingzhu Gang, and he is also a first-rate master!"
When she heard that the person she loved was looked down upon and who was her father, Zhang Yuexi couldn't help but retort.
"Ah."
Unexpectedly, Zhang Rengui sneered and said: "Qingzhu Gang? That kind of third-rate small gang is just a low-level existence. Rats in the ditch can also get on the stage? As for the first-rate masters, although they have a few tricks, they can only be in Beibo City.
If you are king and hegemony, if you put it outside, it will be nothing at all."
Now, it was Zhang Yuexi's turn to be silent.
Seeing that his daughter was silent, he had no intention of shutting up. Instead, his face softened a little and he comforted: "There is news from my family that the Wang family intends to marry us. Your second uncle has finally won this opportunity for you. As long as
If we can marry the Wang family, we may be able to take this opportunity to move back to Dadu."
"You want me to get married?"
Zhang Yuexi's eyes widened in disbelief. She suspected that she had heard wrongly and that her father had made such a sudden decision without consulting her.
"Why are you so surprised? Yue'er, you are not young anymore. You have reached the age to get married."
Looking at his eldest daughter who was full of surprise and even shock, Zhang Rengui's face was expressionless, but his words were true. Most children from ordinary families get married and have children when they are fifteen or sixteen. Even some powerful and wealthy young masters and ladies are not that kind.
Early, at the age of eighteen or nineteen it would be almost the same.
"Impossible, I don't know the young master of the Wang family at all. Even if I want to marry, I won't marry a stranger I've never met!"
"That's not up to you." Zhang Rengui put his hands behind his back and said coldly: "The family has trained you and provided you with prosperity and wealth for so many years. Now is the time for you to repay the favor."
"Dad, do you really have the heart to let me marry someone you've never met? Didn't we live well before? Even without the support from Dadu, we are still the No. 1 family in Beibo City, and we still have enough food and clothing.
Worry-free, happy, why..."
Two lines of tears flowed from her eyes, and Zhang Yuexi shook her head in pain, wondering why her father, who had always been kind and loving in the past, was acting like this.
"There are some things you don't understand."
The old father sighed: "Our Zhang family is a long-established family with a long history. Our ancestors conquered the world with Emperor Taizu more than 300 years ago. Because of their meritorious service, they were named great nobles and settled in the imperial city.
, that is, Dadu.
Later, as time passed, the Zhang family spread out. Although its power in the court became more and more powerful, with disciples and disciples all over the world, the distinction between the main family and the branch families also appeared.
Although we have some power in Beibo City, compared with our family in Dadu, we are nothing, like ants and elephants." This chapter has been completed!
