Chapter 40: The Most Pain
"Give and harvest always complement each other." Li Linfu said with a smile. Jiang Shengtian trembled his hands softly and sat on the chair like a patient who had just recovered from a serious illness. Ye Zhihang and Li Linfu watched coldly.
Jiang Shengtian stared at them angrily, his eyes like a little beast that had just escaped from the enemy's hands. He gasped, and the pain loomed in his chest.
"In the same way, since you have suffered, you will naturally be willing to come." Li Linfu said, and one hand affectionately patted Jiang Shengtian on the shoulder. "I have chosen an auspicious day, and then you can marry Yin Ruo. They are all good spouses. From today on, you are my future son-in-law of Li Linfu!" Li Linfu's hand patted a few more times, full of kindness. In other words, since you will become my son-in-law, you should do a good job for me, so that the antidote of the Twelve Broken Soul Pills will be served on time to avoid physical suffering.
But Jiang Shengtian's face still hasn't changed at all and is still resentful.
Li Linfu did not pay attention to his face. He laughed a few times and left the room with Ye Zhihang.
"Now that he is under our control, he is completely under our control, and the Prime Minister is very relieved." Ye Zhihang said lightly when he walked out of Liuxinyuan with Li Linfu.
Li Linfu glanced sideways at the closed door and smiled, "Even the stupidest people know that the best choice now is to work for me, which can not only hold the beauty but also save his life. What's more, I can see that he is deeply in love with Yinru, so..."
He stroked his long beard and showed a self-evident expression.
At this time, Ye Zhihang continued to think about how to use Jiang Shengtian to deal with the Tianfeng Gang. After all, this incident showed that Jiang Shengtian had not been able to give up his brotherhood with Chen Rufeng. Since then, his victory and defeat in the "fight of wits" was greatly related, and he had to think carefully.
In the room, Jiang Shengtian stumbled and stood up again.
He grasped the corner of the bed, clenched his teeth, and gradually showed a ferocious look.
Angry and hatred filled his heart, and only a few words could come out of his teeth: "Li Linfu..."
The sun and the moon are flowing, the time is flying, and the blinking is late summer.
The scorching air permeates Chang'an Street. As always, people are noisy and hot, especially the pubs and teahouses are surging with people. It is very difficult to find an empty table.
Naturally, Xianlai Inn is no exception for the bustling crowd.
As soon as Hu Jiuweifu entered the inn, he was overwhelmed by the thick voices of various Jianghu people inside.
But Xie Lanting still saw his figure and immediately smiled. He didn't have time to entertain those Jianghu figures who were extremely rude and a little dissatisfied, and came directly to Hu Jiuwei.
"Is there anything in the help?" Xie Lanting's tone was nothing more, just like greeting relatives.
Hu Jiu didn't glance at the people in the inn and shook his head, "The master asked me to visit you. It's not that there are no things, it's just..."
restrained his eyes and fell on Xie Landing's pretty face. He didn't seem to want to say more worrying things, so he smiled bitterly, "Now is a troubled time."
Xie Lanting found an empty table from nowhere and pulled Hu Jiuwei's sleeves and sat down. Hu Jiuwei ignored the envied and resentful eyes of others around him. He continued, "Since the battle of the Guazhou ferry head burned the ship, the three lines of transportation, rice grain and silk business in our gang Then he was depressed, and the master decided that the strong man would break his arm and directly pull out the three pillars so as not to drag them down. Although we can still go out as guards to barely maintain the operation of the gang, the source of income of the gang has been locked a lot, and some people in the gang have complaints..."
At this point, Hu Jiu rubbed his forehead with his hands without distress, and Xie Lanting didn't know how to comfort him for a moment, and stared at him with a pair of beautiful eyes.
"But..." Hu Jiuwei said slowly, "The master is more annoyed than me. He has always smothered himself in the room during this period, and his face is a little haggard every time he comes out of the room."
Xie Lanting sighed, "I didn't expect the two of them to be one world."
Hu Jiu said puzzled, "What is heaven and earth?"
"Do you see that there seems to be a big family doing a wedding outside?"
Hu Jiuwei remembered that he had been coming all the way, and the whole Chang'an was boiling. He saw a large number of families rushing around and busy, but he didn't know exactly why he was running around.
Xie Lanting didn't sell much and said, "That's when Prime Minister Li Linfu is going to marry a daughter!"
"What!" Hu Jiu was not stunned.
"The one who is lucky enough to be the prime minister's son-in-law is Jiang Shengtian."
This can open Hu Jiuwei's mouth into a round one.
"Master Jiang... He and Li Yinru are going to get married?"
Xie Lanting must have nodded, but Hu Jiuwei took a long time to react and finally digested the news.
"I heard from those people in the world that Jiang Shengtian has recently used fierce means to join hands with the four factions of Kunpengmen, Bixuexuan, Douri faction and the remnant shadow pavilion to take all the large and small gangs in Chang'an into their arms and secretly become the power of the prime minister's mansion. It can be said that now the whole Chang'an is all over the minions of Prime Minister Li Linfu." Xie Lanting lowered his voice and said, "I heard that he opened up several financial paths for the prime minister. He was so capable that he was favored by the prime minister, and the prime minister betrothed his daughter to him."
Hu Jiuwei pondered for a moment and asked, "When is their wedding day?"
"It will be in five days." Xie Lanting replied.
Hu Jiuwei fell into hard thinking again.
"One of them will become a good thing, and the other will worry about everything. Is this really a different fate?" Xie Landing held his cheek and said to himself.
At the same time, the prime minister was also immersed in a festival, and the subordinates also began to make intense preparations.
Jiang Shengtian, who had just explained the matter to Li Linfu, slowly stepped out of the study. A few days later, it was his happy day, but at this time, there was not much joy on his face, but a little faint sadness appeared on his forehead.
Looking at the clear blue sky, he is in the heavy room of the prime minister's mansion, and his heart can't be as broad and clear as in the sky.
It seems to be struggling to survive in a narrow and breathless crack.
took a deep breath and involuntarily walked to Li Yinru's residence.
The maidservant who passed by him greeted him very respectfully. After all, it was the future uncle, and they could not afford to offend him.
But Jiang Shengtian seems to have passed through dozens of ghosts, turning a blind eye to them, thinking about themselves, and not afraid of being left alone by them.
"Yinru." Jiang Shengtian stood at the door, but did not enter.
Li Yinru was wiping the strings, and her eyebrows were bent like water. She looked at him with a light and traceless face.
Sister Ping bent down to him and knew that Jiang Shengtian had something to say to Li Yinru alone, so she withdrew from the room and closed the door.
However, there is only a long silence in the room.
"If you don't want to get married..." Jiang Shengtian brewed for a long time before reluctantly opened his mouth.
Li Yinru's hand stopped, and he couldn't go on.
The strings are plucked, making a crisp sound.
"Do you regret it?"
"No..."
"Don't you want to marry me?"
"Of course not..." Jiang Shengtian's face had turned red and he was flustered.
"It's just that day... Alas, I'm afraid you haven't forgotten that person." Jiang Shengtian did not dare to look at her, turned his face, and finally said his worries.
Li Yinru didn't say anything, suddenly stood up, walked to him, held his hands up, held him tightly, stared at him with a pair of eyes, and said softly, "Why do you think so? I put him down a long time ago..."
Jiang Shengtian finally looked into her eyes, but he was still afraid and lacked self-confidence.
"When I met him that night, I cut off the last love in my heart." Li Yinru gently buried his head in his chest, "Fool, now you are the person in my heart!"
A soft current rushed in, sweeping the whole body, full of words, and now turned into thousands of wisps of thought, lingering in my heart.
Jiang Shengtian was slightly shocked, and there was no other way to express his excitement at this time than to hold her tightly.
"Let's wait for five days and become people who watch each other for a lifetime!"
Li Yinru's words moistened him until he returned to Liuxinyuan's room.
When he closed the door and left himself in the empty room, there was a haze.
He frowned and looked out of the window at the setting sun.
Now, his life and his happiness are all under Li Linfu's control. As long as he is a little rebellious and Li Linfu gently pinched, everything will become a bubble and disappear.
He walked to the head of the bed and lifted the pillow, which contained a thick pile of account books.
Since he handed over everything, Li Linfu also fully trusted him.
The sunset was as red as blood. Jiang Shengtian quietly looked at this account book that was crucial to Li Linfu and thought about it for a long time.
Tianfeng Gang.
"Lord!" As soon as Hu Jiuwei returned from Chang'an, he went straight to Chen Rufeng's room.
In the room, it is dead.
Chen Rufeng originally paced to the window and asked, "How's it going?" Looking at your hurried look, isn't it Boss Xie's wife what happened again?
"No, it's another person, and it's a happy event..." Hu Jiu didn't hesitate for a moment and suddenly regretted it.
Chen Rufeng sensed his hesitation. "Since it's a happy event, you might as well say it."
"Yes... Master Jiang is about to marry Li Yinru, the daughter of Li Linfu, in five days!"
Hu Jiu did not stare at Chen Rufeng's back, as if waiting for his reaction.
"Oh." After a while, Chen Rufeng said lightly, "That's good. He finally fulfilled his wish to be brilliant. He didn't send the invitation to us, did he?
Hu Jiuwei didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"Ha ha... Prime Minister's son-in-law..." Chen Rufeng was talking to himself coldly. Hu Jiu was stunned for a moment and retreated silently.
Jiang Shengtian, who is far away in Chang'an, and Chen Rufeng, who is in the Tianfeng Gang, looked out of the window at the night sky with dark clouds covering the moon.
