Chapter 204 The mountain rain is coming and the wind is all over the building
Chapter 204
The cold blade approached his throat with a trace of cold air. Song Nan could even feel the boneless fear that the blade touched the cold hair. Naturally, he did not believe that Zhang Mao would really kill himself, but his full self-confidence disappeared with this sharp knife, and it was too late to hide.
However, it turned out that there was nothing wrong with his judgment. The next moment, the silver light flashed in front of him. Zhang Mao had already collected the knife and didn't know when he took out a quick cotton cloth to slowly wipe the blade.
Between the knife and closing the knife, the action is as fast as lightning, and his skills are not inferior to that of teenagers.
If it hadn't been for the blood on the blade, Song Nan would have thought that her head had been cut off by this knife. In ancient times, there was an allusion describing that the blade was fast and sharp. With a knife, the head was broken, but the dead man could still have time to say, "What a fast knife!" Thinking of this, Song Nan subconsciously touched her neck.
"I have followed me with this knife for more than 20 years and have not been stained with blood for more than ten years, but there are no 1,000 or 800 people killed under this knife. When I was garrisoning the border, in the next battle of the Great Wall, I slaughtered 180 Tartar soldiers with my own hands, and I didn't even hit a roll of the knife."
Zhang Mao seemed to be talking to himself and showing off to Song Nan, and his hand wiping the blade was gentle and powerful.
Song Nan's spine came out in cold sweat, and her inner shirt was wet.
"This knife is used to kill Tartars. I don't want to stain the blood of my Ming compatriots. It's cheap for you today. I brought the wrong knife."
Song Nan couldn't smile bitterly. This step is round and can't kill chickens with a cow knife. It seems that she is not qualified to be killed by this knife in Zhang Mao's eyes.
"My husband..." Song Nan sighed and said, "The next time my husband brought the right knife, and then he will lead his neck to kill."
Zhang Mao looked at Song Nan's strange eyes. He took out the scabbard from the bottom of the warehouse and closed it. He gently put it aside and wiped his hand and said, "You are really not afraid of death. You are still in the mood to say sarcastic things."
Song Nanjing said quietly, "I'm afraid of death, but I'm a responsible person. Naturally, I have to bear the consequences of my mistakes."
Zhang Mao looked up at the sky, and a line of black spots slowly flew south under the rosy clouds and said silently for a long time: "I can marry Xian'er to you, but I don't know that you are not a wolf ambition. If the son-in-law of our government is a tiger and wolf generation, wouldn't it involve the fame established by our government for generations?"
Song Nan said, "Husband, why do you think I, Song Nan, am a wolf ambition? I asked myself that it was harmless to others, and I didn't have the intention to harm others.
"Is it harmless to people?" Zhang Mao laughed several times and said, "Is it harmless to pull Wang Yue and Fan Heng off the horse with his fingers? It is true that Wang Yue and Fan Heng are guilty, but Fan Heng's unauthorized mobilization of the whole city to besiege Jinyiwei is a capital crime, but Wang Yue is not guilty of death. In addition, for so many years, Wang Yue has been in charge of the inner court, and there is no mistake in the festival. He is just bewitched by Fan Heng. Why can't he escape death?
Song Nan frowned and said, "Wang Yue? Didn't Beizhen Fusi judge him to be exiled to the Nanjing House of Internal Affairs Office? Who said he was dead?
Zhang Mao looked at Song Nan and said, "You really don't know?"
Song Nan shook her head and said, "What's wrong with Wang Yue?"
Zhang Mao said slowly: "After the judgment, he was taken to Nanjing and strangled in the willow forest on the way. Didn't you do it?"
Song Nan was shocked and said, "I don't know anything at all... I didn't know about it until I heard what you said. I disdain to swear, but I really didn't know about it."
Zhang Mao frowned and said, "You don't even know? That must be a private conspiracy of Liu Jin and others. Even you are in the dark, which seems to be a little inappropriate.
Song Nan bit his lower lip and said, "I think it must be what Liu Jin did, but what does his matter have to do with me? We are not one party."
Zhang Mao smiled and said, "Oh? According to you, you and Liu Jin are friends of gentlemen, right?
Song Nan shook her head and said, "No, I admit that I did help Liu Jin in this matter, but it was also helping myself."
Zhang Mao shook his head and said, "Do you want to take advantage of Liu Jin to go further? I tell you that Liu Jin will be finished sooner or later. Even if you are not finished, you will also seek skin with the tiger, and sooner or later you will suffer from it.
Song Nan listened to Zhang Mao's words and said quietly, "Husband, I always trust you today. Although I, Song Nan, have never thought of clinging to others; you have always thought that whether I am friends with the young master of your mansion or falling in love with... the little princess... is to take advantage of power. Naturally, you will think so this time. It is thought that the people you see are all like this, and you naturally think it is human nature, but I have long figured out that it is better to rely on yourself than others. No one can be trusted, and no one wants to rely on it.
"Oh? Do you have such ambition?"
"I know that my husband won't believe it, but it doesn't matter. I don't plan to explain anything, because I don't need to explain my behavior to anyone; Fan Heng wanted to kill me several times, but I looked for an opportunity to kill him to revenge, but I didn't design him for Liu Jin. Of course, Liu Jin benefited, and I couldn't help him indirectly." Song Nan said with a straight face.
"What if Liu Jin wants to kill you in the future?"
Song Nan said without thinking, "If he wants to kill me, I will kill him. Unless I can't fight him, I have no ability, and I have nothing to say if I am killed by him."
Zhang Mao laughed loudly, and his voice was so loud that several egrets flew out of the lotus leaves.
"It seems that Zhang Mao has gone blind. You are really a person." Zhang Mao didn't know whether it was sincere praise or sarcastic.
Song Nan said, "I dare not be a character, just strive to live, and make progress with all my strength; a large group of relatives and friends around me, I not only live for myself, but also for them, can take away my gold and silver property, but never touch me and the hair of the people around me. Whoever touches me will fight with him to the end. This is Song Nan."
Zhang Mao nodded slightly and said, "That's right, it's a little heroic; Song Nan, I don't beat around the bush. Since you and your niece have come this far, I don't want to be ugly. Although you are not the best person to choose a son-in-law in my mind, I can't help but give you a chance to prove yourself. You boasted in front of Lun'er, saying that you will be awarded the title within two years, and I will allow you to make a two-year appointment.
Song Nan got up and arched her hand and said, "Thank you very much for your success."
Zhang Mao snorted, "Don't be happy too early. Who can't brag? If you can't do it, you have to come to me and die. Those who defile the reputation of our government will either make up for it or pay the price of their lives. I'm not kidding you."
Although Song Nan was not sure, she had to harden her scalp and patted her chest to make a guarantee.
The atmosphere on the boat has eased a lot. Song Nan knows that Zhang Mao had no choice but to choose himself. If he can't keep his promise, he can't marry the little princess. Zhang Mao won't tell you anything.
"Since you said everything by yourself, I didn't want to change your ambition. I wanted to do something for you, but it seems."
Zhang Mao secretly looked at Song Nan's face to see if Song Nan was disappointed by this sentence. Song Nan really looked calm and had no regret.
"But... I don't want to see you step into the quagmire. You can come and ask for some advice. It depends on my mood or not." Zhang Mao said slowly.
Song Nanxi said, "It's enough to have the guidance of the prince. Thank you in advance."
Zhang Mao smiled, rowed his oars to the depths of the lotus leaves, reached out and took off another lotus canopy. This time, he chewed and swallowed the bitter lotus heart inside.
"Grandpa, how are you feeling today? If you are in a good mood, the younger generation will have something to ask for advice. Song Nan asked with a smile.
"You climb along the pole, okay? I'm in a good mood today. Can you ask?"
"The younger generation wants to know whether Liu Jin's control of the inner court is good or bad, and whether it is good or bad for the court?"
Zhang Mao asked with a smile, "What do you think?"
Song Nan scratched his head and said, "I don't care. As long as it doesn't harm the country and the people, whoever is in charge of the inner court is OK."
Zhang Mao smiled and said, "You know the answer. Why do you need to ask me?"
Song Nan said, "Do you think so too?"
Zhang Mao said, "I don't care who is in the inner court, and everything is in the emperor's hands. I am by no means unbiased. In my opinion, Liu Jin is not as good as Wang Yue, but the power of the inner court falls into the emperor. Liu Jin may have power for a while, but the emperor immediately became a water dog. But when the emperor is young, this is a variable.
Song Nan nodded silently, but heard Zhang Mao continue to say, "The new emperor ascended the throne and change the world. Liu Jin will definitely be famous for a period of time, but it is necessary to know that Li Dongyang and others are not vegetarian. Who doesn't want to say a word? The more noisy Liu Jin is, the more fierce the dispute between the internal and external courts is. The calmness is only for a moment, and the wind and rain come in an instant.
Song Nan was shocked and said, "Does your husband see any signs?"
Zhang Mao laughed and said, "Do you want to trap me? Thinking about beauty; I only tell you that you are just an ant in it, and you will easily be crushed by others. It seems that you are proud of the spring breeze, but in fact the danger is around you; Liu Jin's hand is too long, and the more you act without scruples, the more you will be dissatisfied you will be, and you have been classified as Liu Jin's party. If Liu Jin is finished, you will also be finished. My advice to you is not to be the target of public criticism, unless you are sure that you can save the danger.
Song Nan slammed, "Am I classified as Liu Jin's party? That's what my husband thinks.
Zhang Mao scolded, "Ignorant boy, do you think that no one else has eyes? Not only you, but also our government was almost pulled in by you. Don't think that I was grateful to you when I gave a credit to Lun'er. I almost made people think that Lun'er colluded with you to help Liu Jin. Although our government is not afraid of others, my British government and other marquises remain neutral in internal and external court matters. This is The big principle.
Song Nan was depressed and speechless. After giving credit, the number of people fell down. How can he reason?
"There are some things that Lun'er will tell you to deal with by yourself. In addition, if there is any rumor between you and Xian'er, our agreement will be invalidated. I will never tolerate you to damage the reputation of our government, understand?" Zhang Mao's voice was cold, and Song Nan heard the murderous atmosphere and had to agree repeatedly.
Zhang Mao turned the bow of the boat, and the two of them wandered all the way through the waterway of Ye Liantian. The waterside had been palmed with lights. Song Nan looked from afar. On the edge of the railing of the waterside of the waterside, a slender figure was leaning there and looking this side, and his heart suddenly became hot.
It was the little princess waiting for her return.
