Chapter 516
"So, that person is Granny Long?"
Hearing Lou Ji say this, Xu Yuan felt that he was finally getting to the point. But after thinking for a moment, he thought it might be his father: "Or...my father?"
"It's really otherworldly."
Lou Ji stretched out a slender finger and lightly tapped Xu Yuan's forehead: "The Green Snake Society was too small. Even back then, if you wanted to destroy it, your father would only have to frown slightly when his subordinates reported it. "Yes, someone will do it for him that night. How can such a small thing disturb a high-ranking man like your father?"
Xu Yuan had a strange expression:
"After the first encounter, he didn't send anyone to follow him?"
"As far as we know now, he did exactly that."
"Although the Green Snake Society is small, it was destroyed by a ten-year-old girl. Isn't this kind of thing worthy of attention?"
"Of course it's worth it."
"That"
"Changtian, do you know what the man named Bai Jingtian in Wanxiang City is doing now?" Lou Ji interrupted.
"."
Thinking about the familiarity, Xu Yuan said hesitantly: "It seems that he is working as a supervisor in Vientiane City, overseeing the business nearby."
Lou Ji smiled softly:
"He has been poached a long time ago. Now he is the president of Liuyuan Bu Company, a subsidiary of Tianan Chamber of Commerce. He even went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to report on his work the night before yesterday."
"." Xu Yuan was silent.
"Just take a look."
Lou Ji showed a naturally frivolous expression:
"Your father was much busier back then than you are now. Things he did casually would be forgotten once he did them. I was just one of the seeds he sowed casually back then."
Xu Yuan smacked his lips:
"Then who noticed you?"
"The King of the Dark Alley."
"Pfft" Xu Yuan didn't hold back.
As the snow fell, Lou Ji also murmured with a smile: "It does sound very self-aware, but this is actually the fearful name people in the dark alley give him."
Xu Yuan asked softly:
"But you just said that you will spend a peaceful time next. So, does the king of the dark alley have good intentions towards you?"
"No." Lou Ji denied.
"Malicious?" Xu Yuan had a strange expression.
The younger ones were beaten, and the older ones came, a classic plot.
"No."
Lou Ji denied again and said softly: "He is a very complicated person and has helped me a lot. It was from that old man that I started practicing spiritual practice, but he also caused me a lot of trouble."
"trouble?"
"He wanted to bind me to his family."
"Marriage?" Xu Yuan had a strange expression.
"Yes." Lou Ji nodded lightly: "The old man came late to have a son. I hope that I can help his son after a hundred years."
Xu Yuan made a sound:
"This old man is quite discerning."
"yes."
Lou Ji agreed very much with this: "The upper limit of some people is not the upper limit of themselves, but the upper limit of the platform they are on. That old man controlled the black alley as a mortal in a place like Di'an City. More than thirty years."
"Mortal?" Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, mortal." Lou Ji nodded.
"That's really awesome." Xu Yuan exhaled.
The characteristics of Emperor Yan City's capital meant that there would be many people with ulterior motives mixed in the Black Alley, and it was also destined that the imperial court would have absolute control over it.
A war of words in the court may lead to a "crackdown on gangsters and evil" in the dark alleys. Being able to stand as a mortal for more than thirty years without falling, the old man in Lou Ji's mouth can be regarded as a god.
When Lou Ji heard this, she waved her hands and whispered:
"Forget it, let's not talk about the old man. That period was actually pretty boring overall."
"Don't." Xu Yuan was a little curious about the godly old man and also a little gossipy.
Lou Ji smiled helplessly and said softly:
"There's really nothing to say. After the Green Snake Society was destroyed, I got a lot of money and moved, while the old man moved to the yard next door to where I live."
Speaking of this, Lou Ji chuckled: "In that shabby place, I would sit at the gate of the courtyard wearing expensive clothes and play chess with myself every day."
"fishing?"
"Yes." Lou Ji explained: "It lured me to the bait."
Xu Yuan probably understood what he said.
Lou Ji wants to climb up, and the old man can give him this opportunity, so everything will fall into place.
but
"A person like this wouldn't do something stupid like forcing you, right?"
"."
After a moment of silence, Lou Ji just said quietly:
"The old man was very clever and would never force anything. Although I was working under him at that time, it was more of a transactional relationship than a vassal. He arranged for me to do things, and I received corresponding rewards. "
Xu Yuan's eyes flashed:
"Given your status at that time, you are really a strange person for him to give you such treatment."
Lou Ji smiled and said:
"Yes, if he had survived to this day, even if he had caused so much trouble for me, I would have had no reason to take action against him."
After being quiet for a while, Xu Yuan suppressed his curiosity about the old man and whispered:
"Then where do we start talking about marriage?"
Lou Ji bent her eyes when she heard this and said softly:
“He created an environment for me.”
"The environment of getting along with his heir?"
"You can say that."
"Isn't he a dandy?"
Xu Yuan murmured in a low voice when he heard this.
He originally thought that the old man wanted to bind this elder sister as a child bride, and wanted her to be a good wife for his offspring. But from what he said, the old man should be quite confident in his son's ability and charm.
Lou Ji glanced in one direction of the Xiangfu, with a sigh: "Of course not, the old man wanted to bind me with his son not to maintain the status quo, but to break the shackles of the platform. He knew very well that he was the king respected by everyone in the black alley, but in the eyes of the real big men in Di'an City, he was not even a human being."
"It seems that the old man succeeded."
Xu Yuan noticed Lou Ji's eyes.
There, is the place where the male guest of the Xiangfu is located.
"Yes, the old man underestimated his son."
In the winter night, Lou Ji exhaled a fleeting white mist from her red lips, with a smile in her eyes: "After that incident, I parted ways with them, and the old man's son also climbed out of the abyss of the black alley step by step by himself."
"That incident?" Xu Yuan asked.
Lou Ji pondered for a moment and whispered:
"After destroying the Green Snake Society, I probably stayed in the alley for more than three years. Because of the environment he deliberately created, I spent more than half of this time with that guy, carrying out missions together, suffering together, and experiencing life and death together."
"Didn't you fall in love during this period?" Xu Yuan suddenly interrupted with a smile.
"Of course not." Lou Ji said directly without hesitation.
Xu Yuan looked puzzled: "But I see that you seem to have a high opinion of that person, after such a long time together."
"Oh, you are talking about this."
Lou Ji blinked, pursed her red lips, and said charmingly:
"Because he is ugly."
"."Xu Yuan.
Lou Ji exhaled without caring and whispered:
"But after such a long time together, there is indeed a little bit of affection, and under this situation, the old man created a dilemma for me."
"Dilemma?" Xu Yuan said.
Lou Ji raised her jade hand slightly, stroked her chest, tilted her head and said:
"The process of the matter is very complicated, but to put it simply, the old man used several tasks as bait to let me hurt a lustful playboy in Di'an City outside the task. After several twists and turns, the playboy came to the black alley to ask for people.
"And it just so happens that although the power of the playboy's family is much stronger than that of the old man, he still has to give him some face."
Xu Yuan's eyes twitched:
"So, he forced you to marry his offspring to protect yourself?"
Lou Ji nodded:
"Yes, he persuaded me, I didn't want to, and then he handed over the person."
"."
"Sister, we are not going to kill the old man's son tonight, are we?"
Xu Yuan suddenly asked.
Lou Ji glanced at Xu Yuan with a little surprise and asked:
"Why do you think that someone who crawled out of a place like the black alley would betray your father? "
As she said this, she smiled gently:
"That guy is one of the most radical senior officials in the Xiangfu. If your father wants to become emperor tonight, he can find a royal robe for your father to wear now."
"." Xu Yuan was speechless.
After Lou Ji finished speaking, she snorted and whispered:
"But in fact, I really want to take revenge. That was the only time I experienced a dead end without any resistance.
"If Long Xinling hadn't run into the dark alley to play and saved me at that time, Changtian, you might not be able to see me now."
Happy Valentine's Day~
