Emotions are emotions, bitterness is bitterness.

Wei Jiu is not stupid enough to believe Cui Mang's words so easily. He may feel sorry for a mother who loves her children, but he will never sympathize with Cui Mang. Who has felt sorry for him in these years?

The people on the street gradually dispersed, it was getting late, and they were going home to live the New Year's Eve lively. The people dispersed, and the vendors on the street closed their stalls, leaving only two people, Wei Jiu and Cui Mang.

A different kind of walking aimlessly on the street.

The two of them walked all the way to the city gate. Wei Jiu pointed at the city gate and Cui Mang shook his head.

"It's better not to leave the city. You are wary of me."

Wei Jiu nodded, and the two of them turned around at the same time and walked towards the Zhuque Gate of the palace. After walking quietly for a long time, they became a bit bored. Wei Jiu asked Cui Mang softly what he wanted in this life, whether it was money, power or sex. Cui Mang

Mian smiled and shook his head, claiming that these are not what he wants now, and that some people living in this world are a kind of torture for him.

The topic was terminated, and Wei Jiu couldn't guess whose life Cui Mang wanted, Cui Luo's, the entire Cui family, or Wei Jiu's.

But this does not prevent the two from collaborating.

Lions and crocodiles in the grassland will not harass each other unless they have to. Instead, they will cooperate with each other to hunt wildebeest, zebra and other prey, because they are at the top of the food chain.

Wei Jiu and Cui Mang are like lions and crocodiles. Now they only see win-win cooperation and no fight will break out in a short time. However, they will never trust each other, let alone hand their backs to each other.

As night falls, big families hang up red lanterns outside their mansions, which is very festive, especially in the squares where the rich and distinguished people of Dong City gather. The lanterns come one after another, and from time to time you can hear the laughter and laughter in the mansion, but these fell on Cui.

The eyes of Mian and Wei Jiu were extremely harsh.

One is homeless and the other is unwilling to be recognized by his family.

It was fate that these two people got together, or maybe it was intentional.

The beggars in Chang'an gathered outside the city in twos and threes to enjoy the delicious food brought to them by the Little New Year. Wei Jiu, who had little interest in the Little New Year, also hoped to spend it lively with others.

This night, it was a pity that Cui Mang was the only one beside him.

The two of them spared most of the people in Chang'an and finally stopped in front of the Tayun Restaurant. At this time, the lights in the restaurant were still on. Compared to Hulu, they were probably still preparing the list for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Tang'er's sweet smile could be heard in the restaurant, and then Pei Yu's laughter and curses could be heard, claiming how this greedy girl should get married in the future. The atmosphere in the restaurant was good, Wei Jiu thought about it and turned around to leave. Suddenly

His departure did not surprise Cui Mang, but he sighed softly.

"You got angry again yesterday and cursed Pei Yu. Are you worried that going in now will ruin their playful atmosphere?"

Wei Jiu glanced and curled his lips, strode forward with his hands behind his back, and said softly at the same time.

"Aren't you still the same? If you don't go to your brothers' homes to have fun, then again! Are you a donkey-eared person?"

"When I go, they will no longer be lively. I have no money, no power, no power, no reputation. I only have the identity of a bastard. Who will treat me when I go? I dirty their threshold and I, Cui Mang, lose face.

Wei Wuliang! Today I kindly remind you that if Pei Yu becomes a widow, she will become an important chess piece in your hands."

"Don't talk nonsense."

"It's not nonsense, maybe Pei Yu thinks so too."

Wei Jiu stopped talking. He turned around and kicked Cui Mang. His kick failed and he stopped pursuing. He snorted coldly and stepped forward, but in his heart he did not agree or reject Cui Mang's words.

In history, Pei Ji lost power at the beginning of Zhenguan. Wei Jiu could not remember the specific year, but he believed it would not be long, and the business for Pei Yu was also planned after the Pei family lost power. This was Wei Jiu's plan.

Giving someone timely help to win people's hearts is always the most effective. At that time, I will consider whether to kill the son-in-law who came to visit me.

Thinking about it, Wei Jiu was still a little scared in his heart when he asked Wei Jiu to kill someone. Human life in the previous life was priceless, but in this era, the life and death of a maid was not as good as that of a dog. Wei Jiu found it difficult to accept, but he forced himself

To accept these facts.

One general's success will destroy ten thousand bones.

A shopping mall is like a battlefield, and casualties are inevitable.

Wei Jiu sighed helplessly.

"Cui Mang, can you not kill someone?"

"No killing? When the other party has thoughts of resistance or hostility, killing him is the best way, rather than using your preaching method, understand?"

"I don't understand. Let's go back to Pingkangfang. We two lonely left-behind children should stop expecting excitement and go discuss business. Pingkangfang will be officially opened after the Lantern Festival. The prodigal sons who have been waiting for half a year may no longer be able to bear it.

That beating heart."

In the palace, Li Er was no better than Wei Jiu. He had no intention of going to the harem to liven up the troubles. There was a mountain of troubles in front of him, including the drought, locusts and carp disasters that Wei Jiu mentioned, the lion Jieli Khan in the north, who had ulterior motives, and Li who had just ascended the throne.

How can we spend the New Year with peace of mind?

Even though Na's temperament is ruffian, he won't be vague about serious matters, and he has no idea of ​​putting things off until tomorrow. There are more important things waiting for him tomorrow.

In the eyes of the world, the Weishui Alliance was a wise and decisive decision made by His Majesty, but in Li Er's heart, it was a shame. He was the emperor and a general who conquered the world. How could he accept the humiliation of asking for peace.

After working hard for half a night, the memorials on the desk were still like a mountain. Li Er sighed silently.

"Select the memorial and go to the palace with me. The prince can now share the state affairs for me."

Dai Nei responded and prepared, and soon the two of them left the Lizheng Palace together. If it weren't for the eldest grandson who often lived in the Lizheng Palace, Li Er would never have accepted this humiliation. The Supreme Emperor lived in the Taiji Palace, but he still had to live in the East Palace after he ascended the throne.

.

For example, Li Yuan retreated to live in the East Palace, partly because he killed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, and secondly because the palace belonged to his eldest grandson, and the latter may be more important.

A master and a servant strolled through the East Palace, walking slowly. After a long time, Chamberlain Dai spoke softly and tentatively.

"Your Majesty, there is news below that Wei Jiu and Cui Mang have been shopping in Chang'an for seven or eight hours. They passed by Tayun Restaurant without entering, and finally returned to Pingkangfang together. Isn't it a little strange that they are behaving like this today?

.”

Chamberlain Dai has served Li Er for many years and often talks about family matters with Li Er. Recently, Wei Jiu has become a popular figure in Chang'an. Chamberlain Dai feels that mentioning Wei Jiu at this time might arouse a little interest in His Majesty.

In the end, his guess was correct, and Li Er laughed when he mentioned Wei Jiu.

"This bastard has nowhere to go. Everyone he hangs out with has gone back to their homes for the festival. It's not surprising that he's visiting Chang'an alone. As for Cui Mang, I've heard about him. He's a smart kid.

If you teach well, your future is limitless, but some old stubborns care too much about face and force a child into darkness. He and Wei Jiu can be regarded as dealing with each other, they are the same!"

Chamberlain Dai lowered his head and smiled, and followed behind him with small steps. Since the conversation was open, and since His Majesty was interested in this, he wanted to say a few more words.

"Your Majesty, I think these two children are talented people. Wei Jiu is smart and has a sharp tongue, while Cui Mang knows how to be patient. In my opinion, those two boys and the Lu family are inferior to those locked up.

a bit."

This time Li Er didn't speak, but smiled coldly. Would a kind-hearted person hurt others with words? Then Wei Jiu didn't look like a kind-hearted person when he cursed others.

All the way to the outside of the palace courtyard, the music played and the cheers could not be stopped. Li Er's face instantly turned ugly. The two guards guarding the door quickly knelt down on one knee to salute. Li Er snorted and walked into the courtyard gate of the palace.

, strode forward and kicked open the palace door.

At this moment, Li Er's anger rushed to the top of his head. He saw Li Chengqian with his clothes open and hugging the singer from left to right. His face was red, and it was obvious that he had been drinking a lot.

The moment he saw Li Er, Li Chengqian was also stunned. He quickly dismissed the singers and waiters in the hall, stood up, straightened his clothes, and knelt down on his knees.

"My son, I pay my respects to my father."

Before his father could speak, Li Chengqian flew out and hit the tables and chairs in the palace. The tables and chairs were shattered, which shows the strength of this kick.

"The prince doesn't know much about things, but he knows how to have fun? Come here! Drag the prince out and beat him to death with as much as twenty big boards."

Li Cheng's front was gray, and he didn't know what he had done wrong.

Today is the New Year, it is a happy day.
