Chapter 194 Spring Dragon Poetry Gathering (I)
Wei Changtian, Liu Zongliang and Ning Yongnian, the three protagonists of tonight's drama, each have their own goals. They are all full of confidence in what is about to happen, and believe that they will be the one who laughs last.
Nothing has happened yet, so it is too early to draw conclusions.
But it is foreseeable that this "Shuzhou Rebellion", as the beginning of a great change that will soon sweep across the country, will never have a good outcome.
This is the essence of power struggle.
They exploit each other's interests and take advantage of each other's weaknesses, and in the end either one side is sacrificed or both sides suffer.
As for all those involved, those who are treated as pawns, or even unworthy of being pawns, they will be the victims of this huge struggle.
The marshland and rivers are included in the war map, how can the people live happily?
Please don't talk about becoming a marquis, for the success of a general is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers.
It sounds sad, but it is actually not a very heroic thing.
From ancient times to the present, in all walks of life, success is bound to be accompanied by sacrifice.
No one is willing to be a stepping stone for others, so you must take a step forward resolutely and then trample all your opponents under your feet.
At the end of the You hour, after dinner, Wei Changtian and Liang Zhen left Fulu Lane in the same carriage, taking no one else with them except a few guards.
"Sister Xu, do you want to go to the poetry reading and see what's going on?"
After watching the black carriage leave, You Jia asked Xu Qingwan with a smile: "I heard that the poet will also be there!"
"Ah? This..."
Xu Qingwan was a little hesitant.
In fact, she was not interested in poetry gatherings, which were only for literati. If it were a martial arts conference, she would probably be more curious.
What's more, Wei Changtian had no intention of taking her with him at all.
"But Changtian didn't."
"Oh! Why don't we just not bother Master Wei?"
You Jia took Xu Qingwan's hand and persuaded with a smile: "Let's just watch from a distance for a while, and come back if it's boring."
"Sister Xu, just go with me!"
"Okay then."
Xu Qingwan thought about it and nodded helplessly.
A quarter of an hour later.
The two women had already left in the carriage, and Yang Liushi, who heard the sound of wheels, called Yuan'er into the room.
"Yuan'er, who went out just now?"
"It's Miss Xu and Miss You."
Yuan'er smiled and replied, "The two girls said they wanted to go to the poetry gathering to see the excitement, and they just left."
"What?!"
Yang Liushi suddenly stood up when she heard this: "Are they going to the poetry gathering too?"
"yes."
Yuan'er looked puzzled: "Sister Liu Shi, what's wrong?"
"I"
Yang Liushi was in no position to explain to Yuan'er, so she just hurriedly urged, "Please prepare the car for me, I'll go call them back!"
"Ah? Yes."
Yuan'er looked confused. Although she didn't know the specific situation, she didn't ask any more questions. She just responded and wanted to run out of the house.
But at this time Yang Liushi suddenly called her.
"Wait a moment!"
"Yuan'er, do you know who suggested that they go to the poetry gathering on their own?"
"this."
Yuan'er thought for a moment and replied in a low voice: "It seems that Miss You wants to go."
"I see."
Yang Liushi pursed her lips thoughtfully, and after thinking for a while, she instructed: "Yuan'er, don't tell anyone what I asked you just now, especially don't let Miss You know, okay?"
"Okay, I understand."
Yuan'er blinked and nodded slightly.
Compared to the "newcomer" You Jia, she still trusts Yang Liushi more.
"Sister Liu Shi, what happened to Miss You?"
"Nothing, I must have misunderstood her."
Yang Liushi smiled and shook her head: "Okay, don't think too much, I'm fine here."
"Oh, do we need to prepare the car?"
"No need, just go and do your thing."
"yes"
Seeing that Yang Liushi didn't say anything, Yuan'er had no choice but to leave the room.
Although she had a lot of questions when she came out, she quickly put the matter aside after talking to Li Suyue.
As for Yang Liu Shi, although the candles were still burning in the embroidery room with red curtains, the room was already empty.
At the beginning of the Xu hour, outside Shuzhou City, at Sun and Moon Lake.
It was already night, but the entire Sun Moon Lake was brightly lit. Thousands of lanterns covered in oil paper floated on the lake, and their reflections in the water were so colorful that it gave people a dreamlike feeling as if they were in a starry sky.
Not to mention the woman who was dancing with her sleeves fluttering in the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
Her long hair was casually tied with a white ribbon, which fluttered in the wind along with her pink gauze skirt under the moonlight. Her brows, which were painted with red spider lilies, seemed to be filled with sadness, but not sadness. She looked like a mysterious and pure fairy dancing under a sky full of stars.
The fairy Lingbo has dusty socks, and walks gracefully on the water under the moonlight. This scene can only be described as really fun.
Sitting cross-legged on a small boat, Wei Changtian looked at the woman, then at Liang Zhen who was sitting in the boat next to him with his eyes wide open, and thought that such a luxurious scene was indeed beautiful, but also dangerous enough.
Although Sun Moon Lake is not too big, it is equivalent to a dozen football fields.
This means that in such a large area, apart from those invited to the poetry reading, there is absolutely no place for anyone to hide.
Unless it's hidden in the water.
But hiding under the water in the middle of winter is okay for a short period of time. If it lasts for more than an hour, even a warrior of the third rank may not be able to endure it.
As a result, most of the assassins deployed by the Liu family could only blend in with the bustling crowd on the shore.
However, these people are not important.
“.”
Wei Changtian glanced calmly at a man in a white robe sitting on the other side of the pavilion and narrowed his eyes slightly.
The leader of the Moon Watching Sect is Yan Shuyuan.
Wangyue. From this poetic name it is not difficult to see the difference between Wangyue Sect and ordinary martial arts sects like "Pili Sect" and "Golden Sword Gang".
In one word – elegant!
There is not much fighting and killing. The whole sect likes to write articles and poems when they have nothing to do. The disciples in the sect do not compete with each other in terms of cultivation and martial arts, but in poetry and songs. This is a breath of fresh air among the countless sects and religions in the world.
As the leader of such a sect, Yan Shuyuan is naturally overly "elegant".
After breaking through to the second level, he has not practiced at all. He has been traveling around all day, reciting poems and composing couplets. When he is in the mood, he will even have romantic affairs with the courtesans from all over the place.
Eating, drinking, having fun and whoring.
To be honest, this is simply Wei Changtian’s ultimate pursuit.
But if Li Huaizhong did not lie to him, then this second-grade master who shared the same values as himself would be the Liu family's greatest reliance tonight.
“What a pity.”
Wei Changtian smacked his lips, looked away, and prepared to enjoy the dance in the pavilion for a while longer.
But at this moment, the crowd on the shore suddenly burst into an extremely warm cheer.
Listening to the boiling sound in the night sky, Wei Changtian did not look back. He only knew from the videos of fans picking up their idols at the airport that he had often seen on the Internet in his previous life that -
It’s Su Wu who is here.
