Chapter 237: World Affairs (Please Vote for Me)
Yang Tiansheng rarely comes to Luting once, so of course he has to stay for a few days.
The young leader of Mingjiao and the Prince of the East Palace lived in the same inn. They passed by each other every day, looked at each other, and thanked each other from time to time.
Not to mention the unspeakable awkwardness in their own hearts, even the onlookers in the inn who knew their identities felt extremely complicated when they saw the scene where they greeted each other: there were all kinds of "seeing each other for a long time" It feels weird, but also has a shocking feeling of witnessing history...
You know, if nothing goes wrong with these two, one will become the next king of the Wei Dynasty, and the other will become the next leader of the Mingjiao.
The emperor and the Ming Cult leader not only met, but also ate at the same table and slept under the same roof?
This kind of scene must not have been seen by the ancients before, and it may not be seen by the people in the future...
But the scene where the two of them got along in the inn was exceptionally peaceful and harmonious.
It was as if the two of them were really just ordinary diners and ordinary waiters.
It just makes people feel that Yuelai Inn is really a magical place, where anything can really happen.
…
On this day, Yang Ge and Yang Tiansheng sat at the door of the inn with a rocking chair and drank tea, talking about the most popular "'Sword Immortal" in the world at the moment. Li Qing borrowed his battle with Tang Qing and successfully crossed the peerless master's natural chasm and climbed to the top. Top of the world" news.
At the right time, Wei Xin suddenly walked over quickly, gave Yang Ge a fist, bowed and whispered in Yang Tiansheng's ear.
Before Wei Xin finished speaking, Yang Tiansheng frowned.
When Yang Ge saw this, he knew in his heart that this guy was probably going to leave: "What happened?"
Yang Tiansheng waved his hand to reject Wei Xin, and then sighed softly, and said helplessly: "The black-hearted old man of the Five Poison Sect picked the Liehuo Hall, and Yang Potian urgently called me back to fight... Hey, it's so annoying, I only rested for a few days. !”
"The three of you have been fighting for almost a year, right? Isn't it enough?"
Yang Ge stirred the tea bowl and frowned: "Can't we sit down and have a good talk?"
Yang Tiansheng shook his head: "I'm afraid this is really impossible..."
Yang Ge: "If I remember correctly, there is no unsolvable grudge between your Ming Cult and the Five Poison Cult, right? You don't still imagine that you can destroy the Five Poison Cult, right?"
Who is standing behind the Five Poison Sect? Others don’t know, but he doesn’t know?
Not to mention the Ming Sect, even if he were to do it himself, he might not be able to destroy the Five Poison Sect.
"That's not true. We still have this bit of self-knowledge."
Yang Tiansheng shook his head and replied, then pondered for a moment and said: "You are not an outsider, so it's okay to tell you, but you can't say these things outside..."
Yang Ge said angrily: "Where can I tell you? Just say what you want, and you won't be punished if you don't say anything!"
Yang Tiansheng glanced at him, lowered his voice and said: "To tell you the truth, since we started the war with the Five Poison Sect, not only has our family's wealth not been depleted, but it has also become thicker and thicker. I estimate that the Five Poison Sect and the White Lotus Sect The same goes for the sides.”
"Stop now. Not to mention that the Five Poisons Sect won't agree. Even our Ming Sect and White Lotus Sect, I'm afraid not many people are willing."
Yang Ge was startled, and suddenly realized: "Oh...one is a red face, and the other is a bad face, and they work together to force the weak and small households below to take sides, right?"
Yang Tiansheng backed away tactically: "Don't look at me like that. I didn't initiate this matter, and it doesn't count if I say it!"
Yang Ge slowly frowned: "The rabbit bites people when it's angry. If you guys are playing like this, aren't you afraid of making those small families angry and fighting with the three of you?"
"Do you think there is no one to fight with us now?"
Yang Tiansheng spread his hands: "But if he has the ability to shake the three religions, will he be forced by the three religions to take sides?"
"I still think it's not a big deal for you to play this way."
Yang Ge shook his head: "It's best to find a time to sit down and talk and come up with a solution. If you continue like this, the string of the southern martial arts world will be broken by you sooner or later."
"If my guess is correct, you three have already reached out to the wealthy families in the south, right? Don't blame me for not warning you in advance. If any of you causes me any outrageous things, don't blame me for entering. Let the three families clean up together!”
Yang Tiansheng cried out: "Didn't I tell you everything? I have no say in this matter. My title as the King of Heaven is still just an empty title. I, Qingmu Hall, am the only one who can really make the decision. No one else can You know me, don’t you know me? I’m not short of money, can I do those dirty things?”
Yang Ge: "Don't be aggrieved. If you had never done it before, you could have said that it had nothing to do with you. But now that you are the Young Master of the Mingjiao, you are not responsible for these bad things or not. , you have to bear all the debt!”
Yang Tiansheng was so angry that he sat up and said plausibly: "Are you still being reasonable? I haven't done anything before, so why should I put the blame on my head?"
Yang Ge was unmoved: "Then why do you want to write a note to the emperor for the evil done by those corrupt officials in the court? Isn't this the same truth?"
Yang Tiansheng thought for a while, and then his voice slowly weakened: "This... is really a fucking truth!"
Yang Ge exhaled lightly and said earnestly: "As the old saying goes, 'do your job'. Since you, Yang Tiansheng, have the title of the young leader of the Ming Cult, you should do what the young leader of the Ming Cult should do. If you pretend to be deaf and dumb in order to win people's hearts and let other members of the Ming Cult do evil, isn't that putting the cart before the horse... I remember all the words you said on the Bright Summit!" Yang Tiansheng thought about it, nodded with difficulty and said: "Okay, I will go back and talk to the heads of each hall and branch, but I can't guarantee that they will give me this face. The Ming Cult has spread its stall too much, and I, the so-called 'young leader', is in name only..." Yang Ge patted his shoulder: "Again, as long as we have worked hard for it, then even if the result is still contrary to our wishes, we will have a clear conscience and no complaints No regrets! "
He thought for a moment, then said: "Well, I will be your middleman. When you go back, invite the heads of the three religions in my name, and find a time to sit down and chat... I will decide the location, and I will be responsible for the safety of each family. If you dare to mess around, I will regard it as a provocation to me, Yang Erlang!"
Yang Tiansheng glanced at him and frowned, "Why do you have to wade into this muddy water when you are clean? Let them toss it by themselves. Kill one less, and if they all die, the world will be peaceful!"
Yang Ge replied: "I don't want to take care of so many troubles, but since I persuaded you to clean up the mess, it doesn't make sense for me to stand on the shore with my hands folded and watch the show. Isn't that moral kidnapping?"
Yang Tiansheng said indifferently: "Between you and me, there is still Care about this?" Yang Ge still shook his head: "That's what I said, but friends can't do this... And it's really not a good thing for you to fight endlessly like this. It consumes the vitality of the entire Wei Dynasty. The lives of so many good men should not be wasted on such meaningless fights." Yang Tiansheng glanced at him, pursed his lips and said: "Since you don't have the heart to rule the world, don't always take the world's affairs on your shoulders. You will live very tired." Yang Ge smiled: "Well, I listen to you..." Yang Tiansheng turned his head and glanced at Zhao Miao, who was carrying an iron kettle and refilling water for the salted fish playing mahjong from table to table, and said softly: "That girl, I think she is pretty good. Although she is a member of the Zhao family, she doesn't have the stinky airs and bad habits of the Zhao family, and her heart is clean. If you like her, marry her. Well, don't worry about her father. No matter how long her father's hands are, he can't control us brothers!" Yang Ge followed his gaze and hesitated, "Miao Miao is indeed a good person, but this matter is not simple. I always feel uncomfortable in my heart, and if we really become a family, there will definitely be a lot of troubles in the future... Let's just leave it like this. I think my current life is pretty good and I don't want to change it for the time being." "This is not like you, Yang Lao Er!" Yang Tiansheng smiled: "I have known you for so long, but I have never seen you hesitate to do things, afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind." Yang Ge argued: "This is not the same thing..." Yang Tiansheng: "Why is it not the same thing? You haven't married this girl yet, but haven't you also taken care of the troubles of the Zhao family?" Yang Ge: "Then I can choose not to care now!" Yang Tiansheng: "You married her, so you can't choose not to care?" Yang Ge: "Can you ignore your father-in-law's affairs? "
Yang Tiansheng: "That's different. My father-in-law's family doesn't have a throne to inherit, and my father-in-law has only one daughter, my wife..."
Yang Ge: "Isn't that still the same?"
Yang Tiansheng stopped talking, pondered for a long time, and then sighed: "Didn't you realize it yourself? You have already considered this matter. In the past, no matter which girl it was, as long as it was mentioned, you refused it outright, and never thought about it in this way."
Yang Ge remained silent.
Yang Tiansheng glanced at him, and then said: "Second brother, flowers will bloom again, and people will never be young again. It is impossible for a girl to keep you in such an anonymous way. In other words... What if one day she can't wait any longer and wants to marry someone else, can you stand it?"
Yang Ge subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Zhao Miao over there.
Zhao Miao sensed his gaze and gave him a big smile in return.
Yang Ge quickly retracted his gaze and whispered: "Let's talk about the future later! "
Yang Tiansheng smiled and patted his shoulder heavily: "You are such a heavy-hearted person. You think so much for no reason. You said that although his father is stingy and indecisive, he has the ability and the heart to do things. If he can manage the family well, why not help him? Even if there really comes such a day, I will be the villain, and you don't need to bear the infamy!"
"Get lost!"
Yang Ge laughed and scolded: "You should worry about your own business first. You have been married for half a year, right? Why is there no news? I don't have a wife, but you have a wife but no news... You are not infertile, right? Do you want me to ask someone to invite a doctor to come and see you?"
Yang Tiansheng rolled his dead eyes: "You are a crow's mouth. Can't you hope for the best for me? "
He picked up the tea bowl beside him and drank it all in one gulp, then stood up and said: "Let's go, come to my house and stay for a few days when you have time, my parents have been talking about you many times."
Yang Ge shook his head like a rattle: "My younger sister is not married, I dare not go again."
Yang Tiansheng: "You are so beautiful... Let's go."
He waved his hand freely and stepped out of the inn. Wei Xin and others who had been waiting for a long time on one side took his red charcoal fire dragon pony and handed the reins to his hand.
Yang Ge stood up and waved goodbye: "Be more careful and don't stand out when something happens. If you have anything to do, write me a letter. When you have time, take your sister-in-law to Luting to stay for a few days."
Yang Tiansheng waved his hand without looking back: "Just live your life with peace of mind..."
Yang Ge watched as he led the horse away and disappeared into the sea of people coming and going.
"Brother Yang is gone?"
Zhao Miao's voice sounded beside him. When Yang Ge turned around, he saw her standing on tiptoes, stretching her neck and looking into the crowd: "Didn't we agree to eat spicy chicken nuggets tonight?"
Yang Ge retracted his gaze and lowered his eyelids: "Well, he is in a hurry and has to rush back to Jiangsu and Zhejiang..."
Zhao Miao said "Oh" in disappointment: "This is too urgent."
Yang Ge smiled and said: "Isn't it just spicy chicken nuggets? Can't I make it for you tonight?"
When Zhao Miao heard this, his face immediately put on a happy smile, he flashed a small tiger tooth and said with a smile: "I knew that the second brother loves me the most."
"Stay there for a while."
Yang Ge curled his lips, turned his head, and shouted to Zhao Hong, who was standing behind Xiao Baoqi with a broom and pretending to sweep the floor, but his eyes were focused on Xiao Baoqi's hand: "Xiao Hong, come here."
Zhao Hong raised his head in response and saw Yang Ge staring at him. He suddenly panicked: "Master, I'm sweeping the floor..."
Yang Ge walked towards the backyard with his hands behind his back: "I told you to come here!"
Zhao Hong looked at Zhao Miao in panic.
Zhao Miao nuzzled hard at Yang Ge's back.
Zhao Hong had no choice but to hold a broom and follow Yang Ge's footsteps.
The two walked into the backyard patio one after another with a distance of two or three meters.
Yang Ge pointed at the mountains of debris piled up in the patio: "I'm going to transform this place into an open-air teahouse. You clean up these debris, put away what should be put away, throw away what should be thrown away, and then measure the size and see. How can we place five small coffee tables, matching chairs, decorative flowers and running water, and leave an aisle for passing dishes next to it... Listen clearly, I am telling you to do it, not asking you to find someone to do it. Do!"
Zhao Hong looked at the patio blankly, with a look of bewilderment on his face: "Big, big shopkeeper, I don't know how to do this."
Yang Ge: "Who knows everything in life? If you don't know how to study, you can read books when you need them. If you need craftsmen, look for craftsmen. If you need money, ask your eldest sister. If you need books or craftsmen, ask Brother Erniu to find them for you. "
"I only have two requests."
"First, all objects must be both beautiful and durable. If you dare to make me a piece of shit or a piece of tofu that breaks into pieces at the touch of a touch, you must be able to eat something with meat and fat here in the future. Food, I’ll give you my head to use as a stool!”
"Second, keep the cost to a minimum for me. If I find any item that is 10% higher than the market price, you can move it to a stable for me to sleep in. Even if your father comes, you can't even think about it. Move out of the stables, I said!"
After hearing this, Zhao Hong's face turned pale, and traces of sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead. His lips wriggled, but he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
Yang Ge didn't care what he was thinking, and then asked: "How long will it take to finish this little work? Speak!"
Zhao Hong glanced around in panic and replied without thinking: "Three months!"
Yang Ge: "One month, I will only give you one month. Within this month, as long as you do not affect the normal business of the inn, I will not ask you anything."
"In a month, I'll come to check and accept it. If it's not done yet or it's too expensive or ugly, you'd better not wait for my reminder and move to the stables on your own initiative."
After saying that, he turned around and strode through the front hall, stepped out of the inn door, and waved to the detective from Xiuyiwei who was selling cooking cakes at a stall across the street: "Bring me two cooking cakes."
Seeing this, the spy in embroidered clothes quickly wrapped the cooking cakes in lotus leaves and handed them to Yang Ge with both hands with a smile on his face: "Master Marquis, your cooking cakes..."
Yang Ge took the cooking cake with one hand, dragged him with the other, strode back to the backyard, and said to him in front of Zhao Hong: "Within a month, no news is allowed to spread from my inn, and no news will be allowed to spread out from my inn. Allow anyone with official status to step into my inn... If you can't bear this responsibility, report my words to the emperor. If anyone breaks my rules, I will go to the emperor to settle the account!"
The embroidered guard spy was so frightened that his face turned pale and he did not dare to say a word.
Yang Ge let go of him, took a bite of the cooking cake, his expression slowly softened, and he smiled and said, "Hey, have you improved in your craftsmanship?"
He smiled and took out two coins from his wallet and put them into the hands of the embroidered guard detective: "Not bad, keep up the hard work!"
With that said, he turned around and dragged the embroidered guard spy out, leaving Zhao Hong standing alone in the middle of the patio, looking left and right, his face turning blue and red, red and blue again.
After a while, he sat down heavily on the ground, slapped the ground with his hands and cried "Wow".
The sound was so loud that all the salted fish playing mahjong in the front hall heard it.
"Hey, Second Master, is this an eagle?"
"Hey, haven't you heard what Second Master said? A small tree won't grow straight if it's not repaired, and a tree will fall apart if people don't repair it..."
