Back Off, Let Me Come Chapter 385

  Chapter 385 Chapter 385: Another year [two in one]

   Win over someone from the Xunnan Zhao family?

   Zhai Huan naturally understood the meaning behind these words.

He said: "Before, I wanted you to have a good relationship with the third wife of the Zhao family. She admired you, and you will not let her down with your temperament. It can be regarded as a win-win situation. But after experiencing Ah Jing's incident, I realized that there are some things that cannot be forced... Compared to Xunnan Zhao's help, Ah Le, I hope that you can get what you want."

   "Life is short, don't leave regrets."

   Zhai Le frowned in thought.

   Did not give an answer immediately.

   But strong allies are really needed now.

  The uncle of the former lord of the country handed over his military power, but the soldiers under him have all kinds of places, factions, and positions, which can be called a mixed bag. Previously, relying on the identity of the lord's uncle and a group of cronies, they could barely control them.

   Now that the holder of the national seal has changed, it is equivalent to breaking the balance and suppressing the core of these soldiers.

  They were all ready to move, not very cooperative.

  An inadvertent mistake may even lead to a riot and retaliation against brother... Although the possibility of success is unlikely, it will also make the situation further chaotic, which is not what Zhai Le wants to see.

  In the past few days, I have placed and promoted a group of my own cronies. Although the location is not obvious, I can get first-hand information whenever there is any trouble. He also used the name of the former lord's uncle to disrupt the original establishment so that they could not form a group.

   But this is not a long-term solution, and it is still not enough.

  The current calm is only an illusion after all.

   It is easy to be broken by external force or internal cause.

  Brother still has to devote all his energy to wrangling with those old foxes—these old foxes are more concerned about their own interests than who the ruler is or what his surname is, and they all want to take advantage of Zhai Huan's unstable power to gnaw off a piece of flesh and blood.

   Zhai Le saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.

   "Ale, do you really want to marry the third wife of the Zhao family?"

  Zhai Le didn't think much about it.

   His eyes were firm and he said: "Yes, I think."

  Although it is not out of liking but the pros and cons after weighing, but-two-way relationship may not be perfect, and one-way relationship may not be regrettable. Zhai Le paused, and said: "Or...ask her first? If you don't want to..."

  He said: "Then trouble brother to find another one."

   Zhai Huan was silent and patted his cousin on the shoulder.

   sighed lightly: "Okay."

Before Zhai Le left, he did not forget to tell Zhai Huan to use his literati way as little as possible. Although my elder brother did not say how much burden the literati way after consummation would have on him, judging from the great success of his first appearance , the price is not small.

  Zhai Huan said with a smile: "Well, there will be a measure."

  In Zhai Huan's view, the effect of this scribe's way can only be described as "chicken ribs". It's tasteless to eat, and it's a pity to discard it.

  If you are too dependent, you may not know how to die.

  Indeed, it can insert a real memory for people, and even if the person concerned knows that there is a problem, it is difficult to avoid it. If you think that the way of scribes is invincible because of this...it would be naive, because the real confrontation is still outside the way of scribes.

  Take the uncle of the former lord as an example.

  If the false identity that Zhai Huan set for himself was not the "real lord left behind", but the confidant/biological son of the former lord's uncle, how could he persuade the other party to borrow troops to force the palace?

Impossible, because the benefit brought by the latter status is far less than that of the former, and it is not worth the risk of killing the nine clans to gain wealth... It is not so much the way of scribes that made the other party rebel and was used by Zhai Huan. It is better to say that the benefit of the blueprint given by Zhai Huan touched the greed that cannot be filled deep in the other party's heart, so it hit it off...

To give another example, if Zhai Huan is dealing with Qi Shan and others, imitating himself as a relative, and then urging Qi Shan to kill Shen Tang, then what he is waiting for may not be Qi Shan's sincere cooperation, but the other party's butcher knife .

  The real difficulty of this way of literati lies in the fact that it needs to accurately figure out the weakness of the opponent's human nature - those who value family members should start with family members; those who value material things should start with interests; those who value fame should start with reputation...

   There is another type of people who are the most special.

  That is the one who enshrines morality and righteousness on the altar. This kind of person is often reckless and difficult...

  The situation in Shen country is changing.

  Even the third wife of the Zhao family who was in the boudoir was also affected.

  Hearing that the boy she had liked for many years was going to form a romantic alliance with Shu Ji, she was depressed for several days, and her already meager body became thinner and thinner. Parents, brothers and sisters persuaded her again and again, and the younger brother deliberately played tricks to make her laugh.

   Zhao Sanniang was never really happy either.

  She is not ignorant of the seriousness of the problem.

  That Shuji daimyo is also well-known in the boudoir circle. Whoever she likes, no matter whether the other party is married, unmarried or engaged, she will use various means to grab her.

  She can covet a married man, but she doesn't allow others to think about her man, so be careful that she will kill her.

  If it wasn't for Shuji being too cruel and heartless, taking the lives of innocent people on her hands, and breaking up other people's marriages, so that she caused anger and resentment... Zhao Sanniang would still be a little envious of her—it's rare for a woman to live such a willful life.

  Of course, I just envy the other party's freedom rather than the other party's demeanor, but after thinking about it, Shu Ji's freedom is also given to her by her brother as the lord. Because of her blood and not Shu Ji herself, she feels a little regretful...

   Let's get back to the topic.

  Once Zhai Le and Shu Ji get married, Shu Ji, who has a small belly, knows that she has proposed marriage to Zhai Le. Even if she has family protection, she will make things difficult and cause trouble for her family.

  Thinking about this, Zhao Sanniang was depressed again.

  People who have liked it for many years don't say they can let go of it. The taste is much more bitter than the concoction brought by the maid.

  She closed her eyes and drank it all in one gulp. On the day of Zhai Le's wedding, he tossed and turned until late at night and fell asleep from exhaustion.

  It takes three poles in the sun to wake up weakly.

  The news that followed made her confused again and again.

  The marriage between Zhai Le and Shuji has failed, Shuji died, and the king died, it was all done by Brother Zhai Huan...

  When her mother told her, she still enviously said: 【This Zhai Yuewen is kind and righteous. 】

  Those with a discerning eye can see that even though Zhai Huan has ambitions, he has not expanded to the point of overthrowing the Wang Ting. He is more interested in assisting the Wang Ting and bringing order out of chaos. However, Shuji killed Zhai Huan's fiancée, and Zhai Huan directly killed her.

   In a fit of rage, she was crowned as a confidante.

   Isn't this more romantic and moving than Fangshi Huaben?

   Zhao Sanniang thought casually, if Zhai Le's marriage failed, wouldn't it mean that he still had a chance?

  Her mother saw her thoughts at a glance.

   said: 【Do not do stupid things. 】

  Zhao Sanniang said: 【Daughter just thinks so...】

  As a girl in the boudoir, begging her parents to take the initiative to go to the Zhai family to talk about marriage is already the most outrageous thing she has done in her life. How can I have the courage to do it again? The Zhai family is currently in a whirlpool, and Zhai Le probably doesn't have the heart to talk about marriage.

  Her mother smiled and said: 【You can wait in peace. 】

  Zhao Sanniang: [Wait? 】

  【When the Zhai family came to propose marriage, your father told Wei Niang that Zhai Yuewen killed the king in front of the palace. He killed the king quickly and happily at that time, but he had to deal with the mess left behind. The Zhai clan was short of manpower and could not suppress the situation, so naturally they had to seek allies. And what ally is more reassuring than in-laws? Not to mention Zhai Le, you can choose any other unmarried men of the Zhai family. 】

   Zhao Sanniang's heart moved.

   Slightly disdainful that I have the idea of ​​taking advantage of the fire, but also vaguely expecting—Zhai Le will really come to ask for a marriage?

  She stays in her small yard tending flowers and plants, and occasionally feeds the fish in the pond, but time passes slowly.

   Within a few days, Zhai Le really came to the door.

   But not to ask her parents to propose marriage.

   Instead see her.

  Zhao Sanniang was apprehensive and nervous.

  Across a screen, she could vaguely see a figure on the other side of the screen, which was a young man who had grown into an adult.

  The people serving around me are waiting outside the door.

   Zhai Le secretly took a deep breath to relieve the inexplicable tension.

   "Miss Zhao San..." Zhai Le didn't know how to address the other party by his nickname, so he asked hesitantly, "I heard...you like me?"

  Zhao Sanniang: "..."

   His face was red and white, and he was so ashamed that he wanted to crawl into the ground.

  But still enduring embarrassment and embarrassment: "Yes."

  Although he knew the answer, it was quite novel to hear the other party admit it himself. Zhai Leguang remembered the deep memory of offending the other party when he was a child and being violently beaten by his father. He didn't expect that the other party would like him at all, how could he expect that?

   "Then I ask to marry you, are you willing?"

  Zhao Sanniang's face was no longer pale, only red.

   Red enough to bleed.

   "Marriage matters...should be decided by parents..."

   Zhai Le was puzzled: "...Huh?"

   Didn't you all come to the door to say kiss? Zhao Sanniang's parents should have agreed, so why rethink?

   Thinking about it again, although she and Shuji are not real husband and wife, but the ceremony is complete, Zhao will indeed despise the second marriage.

  Zhai Le scratched his face. A second-married widower whose "wife" died that day doesn't sound like a good match.

  Seeing that Zhai Le didn't respond for a long time, Zhao Sanniang felt annoyed. She didn't know which sentence she said wrong, so she listened: "The title of second-married widower is really not good... Alas, don't bother me..."

   After finishing speaking, while Zhao Sanniang was in a daze, she saluted and said goodbye, got up and walked to the door, but was stopped by a beautiful girl who hurried out, who said angrily, "Zhai Xiaofang, where are you going?"

  Zhai Le: "..."

  The personal servant girl guarding outside the house poked her head out when she heard the movement, Zhao Sanniang's cheeks were glowing, and she hid behind the screen.

   "Who dislikes you?"

  Zhai Le: "..."

   It turned out that it wasn't disgusting, so I breathed a sigh of relief.

   But there are still some truths to say.

Zhai Le wants to marry Zhao Sanniang, the biggest purpose is to rely on the power of the Zhao family, but after marriage, he will definitely not let Zhao Sanniang down, nor will he commit such a heartless act of breaking his promise and kicking his original wife once he gains power, I am willing to use my courage oath.

   Zhao Sanniang was angry and funny after hearing this.

   What a stunned wood!

  When she was young, she picked her favorite flowers, stole her favorite fish, and smashed the tree she planted on her birthday with a punch to show off... When she grows up, she is more capable, and she also said these words carelessly.

   The trouble made her, like Shuji, force her to marry him.

   It made her feel like Zhai Xiaofang!

  Zhao Sanniang didn't reply, and after saying two or three sentences, she refused to feel uncomfortable, and went back to the room angrily to sulk.

  When the anger subsided, she was even more annoyed.

   Well, she is rare.

  At her age, if it wasn't for Zhai Xiaofang, she would have already discussed marriage. She can see all the days after the handkerchief beside her hand after getting married, whether they live a loving life or not. The good ones are only harmonious on the surface, and the bad ones are gloomy.

  It is better to marry someone you like than to marry someone you don't like, and life will not be too difficult. It's really not good, and I can only blame myself for my poor vision. Besides, she won Zhai Xiaofang's man first, so why worry about not being able to catch his heart?

   Gritting her teeth, she accepted the marriage.

  Two teenagers and girls think that their marriage is dominated by them, but in fact it is still their parents.

   Zhai Huan's side is in urgent need of help, so isn't Zhao's side interested in profit? Zhai Le was never the best candidate for marriage. If Zhai Huan hadn't protected his fiancée for many years and remained firm, Zhao would have wanted to marry his daughter to Zhai Huan.

  He is the real master of the Zhai family.

   On the other hand, Zhai Le's conditions are far worse.

   This plan should not be known to outsiders, especially Zhai Huan—because Zhai Huan insisted on keeping his wife's filial piety for one year, and the situation in this year is still unknown. If Mr. Zhao wants to be reused with confidence, he needs a marriage that satisfies him.

   It just so happens that the two children are willing, which is great.

  A marriage that attracts each other because of their interests, is covered with the illusion that the children are in love with each other, but it can be called a match made in heaven. With Zhao's faction entering the arena, the old foxes who were ready to move were completely settled down.

   Zhai and Zhao, there are not many outstanding literary scholars, but there are many outstanding warriors.

  Their old bones don't want to try how hard the fists of the two families are. Even the unstoppable rebellion of various factions in the barracks was bloodily suppressed, blood flowed into rivers, and bones piled up like mountains.

  The next step is to deal with those powerful warlords who took advantage of this time to make trouble one by one!

  The changes in the country of Shen, which is located in the southeast, naturally did not reach the ears of Shen Tang in the northwest of the mainland. Unlike Zhai Huan and Zhai Le who racked their brains to fight against the enemy and couldn't live a peaceful year, she had a very happy and happy year.

  He Yin's high-quality good pigs are specialized in slaughtering dogs, and one high-quality good pig is sold for the price of five ordinary pigs.

  The common people who raised pigs also made a fortune.

   Some common people even slaughtered a fat pig and brought the best meat to the government office as a New Year gift, begging Shen Tang to accept it. If there is no Shen Jun, how can they be today? Shen Tang was not polite, accepted the New Year's gift, and took the opportunity to promote the knowledge of scientific and standardized pig raising, in order to make this idea deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!

  In the official office, she happily counted the small money.

   Yes, she's rich!

   "Hey, I have worked hard for a year or two, and I have seen savings..." A bag of broken silver, dozens of copper plates. Shen Tang put them back into the purse one by one, and stuffed them in his bosom.

  Although He Yin was shrouded in a cloud of panic over the incident of the refugees and grass bandits, the common people believed in their Lord Shen.

  As the New Year approached, the lively atmosphere only increased. There were also many strangers with foreign accents in Fugu City.

   Needless to say, these are all from the three places in the south.

  Come and join in the fun.

  As the opening ceremony of the 2nd Fugu City New Year Games began, the light from the sky filled with fireworks shone on everyone's face. Shen Tang and the others are a little better than last year, and after the opening ceremony, there is still a lot of style—well, after all, there is an extra Jiang Sheng.

   "Happy New Year!"

   "Master, Happy New Year!"

  There are many tourists on the road.

   There are more people and more lively and festive than last year.

   "Let's have fun together, don't be restrained, haha—"

  Shen Tang would warmly greet every acquaintance he met, no matter how old or young he was, he would treat them equally.

   On the road, I met Jiang Sheng, who was curious about everything. She took out a copper coin with a red string from her arms.

   "Come on, get yours first!"

  Jiang Sheng: "..."

  A good protagonist should be Master Duan Shui!
