The national treasury is extremely poor, and farmers in various counties and districts are probably living with their belts tightened. Forced taxes are unavoidable. If you want to get rich, you have to find another way.

Fortunately, Chen Baiqi had a premonition about Hou Qing's evil deeds. The Qin State's treasury was very tight, so the wise man was far-sighted and got in touch with the invisible rich man Mengchang Jun early, and wanted to take advantage of his "giant ship".

"Ship" and go on a long voyage together.

Earlier, Meng Changjun secretly bought a gold mine. Gold mines are easy to obtain but difficult to mine. But this was not a problem when Chen Baiqi was the cheating device. She used some of her accumulated reputation points to exchange for a gold mine details.

I distributed mining strategies, found a group of swimming experts, and used a bunch of modern black technologies to successfully dig out the first entire underwater gold mine.

Under the conditions negotiated in advance, Chen Baiqi relied on this windfall to more than double the assets of Xianyang City. She did not save the extra money regularly, but used it to invest and make money.

Mengchang Jun really didn't expect that she would really have a way to empty out his golden mountain.

Although he made a fortune from this, it was still not as good as Chen Baiqi's empty hand. He provided the gold mines, the people, and even the transportation lines. She even shamelessly borrowed a large amount from him.

There is no valuable collateral for the money, it is all guaranteed by her so-called reputation of the prison country.

He borrowed the money, mainly because he also saw that she was a potential stock. When he found out that the cafeteria opened by her and her subordinates was different, the business quickly became prosperous and spread all over Qin.

As soon as he had money, he formed a gang to intercept the business of Dongshang's spies, and built up his own information network overtly and covertly.

He also saw her ambition and the strength to match it. It was interesting to think about this person. People in the Qin State somewhat hated merchants, scholars, farmers, workers, and merchants. This merchant has always been ranked at the bottom.

She is a dignified supervisor of the country, and can be said to be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. She is not high-minded, but she wants to deal with people like him who in the eyes of the world think they are willing to degenerate.

Therefore, he was no longer in a hurry to defect from Qin. Instead, he put aside his previous plan and joined forces with her to see what she could do.

Sure enough, one understands history and knows how to learn from the most successful businessmen as examples, and the other has capital and manpower. Therefore, it is not surprising that the partnership between the two directly creates peak revenue and performance.

As soon as there was hope for the money, money kept pouring in. Chen Baiqi finally had some time to breathe. The first thing she did when she returned home was the same as in the past. She went to change out of a heavy court dress and walked softly in a light and elegant dark dress.

Then I went to the quiet Yiyuan to see Xie Yingyi.

As a prisoner, she should have packed up her possessions and devoted herself to the palace's career, but Xie Yingyi was unwilling to follow her to the palace to recuperate. For him, Chen Baiqi could only run in both directions helplessly.

"Ying Yi?"

She stood outside the door and gently knocked on the door to call him. In the past few months, except for calling for doctors and medicines and food, he had always locked himself in the room and did not want to see her.

She knew that it was because of the scars on his body that would never fade away. Although his wounds healed, scars were left almost all over his body, including his face and the disabilities in his legs and feet due to the heavy injuries.

In fact, according to the original prediction, even if he survived, he would still be lying on the bed unable to get out of bed. However, because of Mr. Xiangbo's rejuvenating medical skills, he was much better than originally expected, but this so-called "good"

A few points would not make Xie Yingyi happy and accept it calmly.

He couldn't accept himself like this, let alone being by Chen Baiqi's side. He was such an arrogant person, so since he woke up and clearly understood what kind of monster he had become,

So he closed himself in his room, escaping from all reality and refusing to see anyone.

Chen Baiqi understood how he felt and felt sad for him, so she did not force him to face it, but gave him time to calm down and reassured him repeatedly that she would definitely think of a way to make him recover as before.

This was not a lie. She had already guessed where "Destiny" was from the leader of the Destiny Clan, but it still needed the final step of verification, so she did not tell him these uncertain things. It would be okay if she succeeded.

Failure to succeed would give him hope but also make him completely despair, fearing that he would never come out again.

But how could Xie Yingyi believe this absurdity? He knew it was a lie to comfort him as soon as he heard it.

There is a saying that when a man sheds tears, he does not shed them easily, but they are not to the point of sadness.

He would rather have been eaten clean by those wolf eagles under that cliff than live in such a miserable state. He knew that he was cowardly and incompetent for thinking this way, but as long as he thought of the person he loved seeing him in such an ugly and disabled appearance,

, he became cold all over and his blood flowed backwards.

At first, when she came every day, he would not say a word, biting his gums tightly, and the room was as quiet as death.

Later, she still came every day and stood by the door talking to herself and talking to him, both about her and about him. She was not a person who liked to gossip, but for him, she

Start learning to share things around you with him in an interesting way like making up stories.

Until now, he occasionally responds.

"You go."

He always chased her away, and his self-loathing and self-abandonment were so strong that even his words were filled with a lifeless air of death.

Chen Baiqi knew that his emotions were very contradictory at this time, so she said in a good temper: "If you don't want to see me, then let's talk like this for a while."

There was silence for a long time before a voice came: "Okay."

A comforting smile appeared on Chen Baiqi's face, thinking that her hard work during this period had made him better, so he said: "Ying Yi..."

But before she could speak, Xie Yingyi had already interrupted: "Chen Rui, let's break off the engagement."

Chen Bai became speechless and reacted slowly for a while. She slowly turned around and leaned her head against the door.

She took a deep breath and said again tirelessly: "I will heal your injury. You believe me, you just need to wait a little longer."

But the voice inside said firmly and firmly: "We cancel the engagement."

It seems that this topic cannot be overcome.

Chen Baiqi rubbed his forehead and said, "Give me some more time."

"I said, I want to break off the engagement with you!"

The somewhat hysterical reiteration made Chen Baiqi stop his movements.

She put down her hands. The evening sky had a bright blue color. The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the white clouds wandering in the blue sky red. Her dark and quiet eyes moved from the distance to the close shot, looking at the phoenix tree in the courtyard that was in full swing in the summer.

After autumn, it becomes yellow and wilted, with a trace of melancholy and a touch of sadness. At sunset, dusk and dawn, her eyes are complicated and disappointed.

In this lengthy silence, it was Chen Baiqi who took the lead in choosing to compromise.

"good."

as you wish.

She reluctantly said a word, then stood up. Her fallen figure gradually pulled away from the door, went down a few steps under the eaves, and arrived at the courtyard.

After she agreed and truly heard her word "good", Xie Yingyi, who had closed the doors and windows tightly, was stunned and fell into darkness.

...she agreed.

She really wanted to break off her engagement with him.

His body, which was originally supporting the edge of the table, lost strength due to this blow and fell to the ground. The windbreaker he was wearing was trailing behind him, like the falling dead leaves that had lost their comfortable home and were crushed into mud.

How could she... agree so easily?

Xie Yingyi couldn't believe it. Although he repeatedly made strong demands, he never thought that she would agree to him so easily. Therefore, he was so shocked that he was in a state of half-dementia.

Were all the things she said and did to him before false?

She said that as long as they could leave alive, she would marry him.

Although he was unconscious at the time, these words were like a beam of light falling into his chaotic and dark mind. He heard it, so he struggled desperately to live and wake up.

come over.

Although everything that happened after he finally woke up made him feel like he was in a nightmare, he still thought of her words in his heart, and he only dared to secretly rejoice at midnight as if they were stolen, without daring to show anything.

She visits him every day, talks to him every day, and does things she has never done for him before. She is considerate of him, tolerant of him, and will take the initiative to come to him. In this way, he feels like he has found a treasure, hiding it

In my heart, every time I think about it, my eyes feel hot and my heart feels hot.

So, is this all just hypocrisy?

She is lying to him!

He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were red and almost bleeding.

He loved her so much that his heart ached.

He has become like this, and he feels that he is not worthy of love anymore.

But it happened that he saw her change, and saw how happy that person should be when she treats someone so tenderly.

Why?

Why is he the only one who loves so humbly and pitifully?

Who wants to live alone for the rest of his life? Who wants to be alone for the rest of his life without his lover? If the love is not so deep that he cannot help himself, how can he feel that he is not worthy of making the other person happy?

He raised his hands and stared blankly at the dents on his arms. The skin and muscles were twisted and grew into a pile of flesh. He let out a painful whimper in his throat, like a wounded animal curled up in a ball alone and licking the wound. The pain was so painful that his scarlet eyes were filled with love.

Turn to hate.

——He suddenly hated her.

Hate her for giving up on him so easily.

He knew that there were many people who admired her privately. She was so powerful and beautiful, and there would be no shortage of admirers around her. But he was the only one who was her destined fiancé. Only he could stand by her side openly, so he should firmly

He held her tightly, never let go, and fought with her to the death, making her unable to let go of him, never forget him, never leave him, and stay with him till the end of his life.

Recalling what Wu Changting told him back then, Xie Yingyi's heart moved, and then he got out of control.

Sometimes love is actually quite simple. Either I love you or I hate you. If the two are mixed together and become indistinguishable, that means - I'm thinking of you.

He has always been rational and generous, and often wronged himself to take the overall situation into consideration, but only this time, he thought, let him be willful and selfish for once.

He just wants an identity closest to her.

He misses her very much.

Want it so so much.

He wants to see her.

Want it so so much……

A fire burned in Xie Yingyi's chest. The burning fire burned all the way through his limbs, skin, flesh, muscles and bones. The pain revived his originally numb spirit and also made his gloomy complexion

It was as if the darkness of the clouds had been blown away by the wind, and it gradually became clearer.

She's leaving.

Maybe I won't take the initiative to come see him again in the future.

We can't let her go like this!
