Chapter 31: Breaking the Mirror
Liu Han returned home and talked to Tianna and the three daughters in the backyard, Tianna quietly told him that Luzhu had been quiet for the past two days and had no contact with the outside, however, he regretted that Liu Dong was also stuck in a quagmire, and every time Luzhu went out, he went to the rouge gouache shop, and Liu Dong sent people to squat outside the rouge gouache shop, but there was still nothing to find.
"The people who came and went were women, and most of them were women from nearby homes, and there were also a few servant women from nearby mansions. ”
Liu Han thought for a while and asked, "The business of this shop is not bad, does it only sell rouge gouache?"
Liu Dong nodded, Liu Han frowned and thought about it: "Find a way to buy some of his rouge gouache, and check out the people who often come to this store have those in the house, check this store thoroughly, where the supplier is, what is the background, pay attention, don't use our people." ”
Liu Dong took the order and left, Liu Han came to Lao Huang after a while, Lao Huang was playing chess with Fang Huiyun, Liu Han watched on the side for a while, they played Go, which once made Liu Han wonder that there is actually Go in this world.
Lao Huang once taught him, but his level was too bad, and Lao Huang disdained to fight him again after playing a few games with him.
On the chessboard, several big dragons are entangled, and even if he is a bad player, he knows that the situation is dangerous and abnormal, and if he is not careful, he will collapse immediately.
Lao Huang fell into the long exam, Liu Han sat on the side, silently calculated, feeling that no matter how he walked, it was very difficult, and he was about to tease and retaliate against Lao Huang, Lao Huang mentioned the white son and squeezed it between the two black seeds, and then breathed a long sigh of relief.
Fang Huiyun mentioned the black chess and wanted to respond, but then put it down, this squeeze looks inconspicuous, but after careful calculation, it is extremely exquisite, this son fell, and actually broke the momentum of black chess, and even faintly had the potential of counterattacking.
Fang Huiyun frowned slightly, the sunspots were spinning around at her fingertips, and Liu Han began to calculate for her again, but there was no way out no matter how she calculated, she could only abandon the two chess tendons, but if the two chess tendons were abandoned, the two white dragons would be connected, and the white chess pieces would be alive.
The two of them thought hard, although Lao Huang made a clever move, his expression was a little more relaxed, and there was a little smug between his eyebrows, Liu Han rolled his eyes and asked, "Have yesterday's accounts been counted?"
Lao Huang stared at the chessboard intently, nodded casually, and Liu Han asked again: "What about the breakdowns?"
"It's counted, it's all in the house, you can see for yourself. ”
Lao Huang's tone was a little impatient.
"Hmm, is there any news from Jiangnan?"
"That's that fast. ”
"Are the dyeing mill's paints ready?"
"They reported it and it's almost ready, but Hussey said that the kind of sulfuric acid you mentioned is being prepared. ”
"When will it be matched?"
"I know, you can ask him yourself. ”
Lao Huang was a little impatient, and his tone was a little unhappy.
Liu Han didn't care, still asked with a match, Lao Huang answered at first, and then became more and more impatient, and his tone gradually became unpolite, Fang Huiyun finally fell, she didn't make a move at the point where she was squeezed, but turned to attack a piece of chess in the lower right corner of Lao Huang.
"You didn't go yesterday, but the show was a great success, and you have to see their looks, it's stupid. ”
"You're going, I promise you'll have a spring in your heart, don't talk about you, oh, by the way, do you know the king of Yanping County? He also came yesterday, why didn't this guy go to the country?"
"The king of Yanping is the son of the cousin of Emperor Taiding, this guy's county king is just a false name, no fief, only a name, however, he has a lot of manors, mostly concentrated in Nanyang County, this guy likes to be vassally elegant, a little literate, but what, this person likes male style, and he can't walk when he sees a handsome man. ”
A layer of fine sweat broke out on Liu Han's forehead, and he was horrified in his heart, this King of Yanping County should not have taken a fancy to him, no wonder Qiu Ge and Lu Fan looked so much in front of the King of Yanping County.
"What else does this guy deserve besides the throne?"
Lao Huang looked up at him strangely, frowned and asked: "What's the matter?" This Yanping County King's position in the court is very delicate, he serves as a Lingcheng in Zongzheng Mansion, and the current Zongzheng is the uncle of the current emperor, Shunjiang Wang Yanping, this Yanping is more than sixty years old, frail and sickly, Zongzheng Mansion is actually in the hands of Yanping County King. ”
Zongzheng is the institution that manages the imperial family, which is a very important position, and the imperial family of the Great Jin Dynasty has many feudal fiefs, and Zongzheng Mansion is the institution that manages the fiefdoms of these feudal states, and can intervene in the military and administration of the feudal states.
Lao Huang said and fell, Fang Huiyun's face flashed a hint of joy, the green jade fingers twisted a black piece and flew across the white chess, as soon as this piece fell, Lao Huang suddenly fell into a predicament, no matter how to respond, either lose the corner, or let Fang Huiyun pick up the two sons who were squeezed just now.
Lao Huang stared at the chessboard, no dark clouds gradually gathered, Liu Han smiled lightly, got up and entered the house, there were several account books neatly placed on the bookcase, he picked up the account books and looked at them one by one, yesterday's income far exceeded his estimate, before the auction, he estimated that the income would be between 600 and 700,000, but the actual auction result was actually more than 1 million, reaching 1.14 million, in this era, this is an astronomical amount.
Liu Han was not very happy, he vaguely felt that this amazing income would bring trouble, at least, King Qin would know about it, and most likely he would ask him for more money.
"It's okay, at least the funds are back. ”
Liu Han said to himself, Lao Huang happened to walk to the door, and couldn't help but sneer when he heard the words: "What?!, what do you think of again?"
Liu Han looked up at him, he couldn't help but be happy, Lao Huang at this moment was no longer so light-hearted, on the contrary, with anger, of course he knew where the old guy's anger came from.
"Okay, isn't it just a game of chess, and you can be angry about this. ”
Liu Han glanced outside as he spoke, and asked in a low voice, "How is this girl?"
Lao Huang snorted dissatisfiedly, sat down in front of him, poured himself a cup of tea first, and then said angrily: "You won't watch it yourself." ”
"I'm so busy, you're with her all day long, how can I compare with you, besides, with your shrewdness, cunning, this girl can escape from your palm?!"
Lao Huang played a child's temper, Liu Han smiled, and it was a great pleasure to be able to stir up the pride of this old guy.
"There have been no opponents over the years, is there a feeling of loneliness for masters, and it is also a joy to enjoy failure. ”
"You should thank me, not complain. ”
"Oh, by the way, I remembered something recently, there are so many men in our house, and they are not young, it's time to start a family, should we buy some women. ”
...... Liu Han said casually, from business to the house, and from the house to all places, nagging like a menopausal woman, Lao Huang has been watching coldly, as if he didn't hear it.
After a while, Liu Han finally stopped talking, he didn't stop when he spoke, he looked at the account book very quickly, and read more than half of it in a while, but he saw that this account book slowed down, thinking while reading, and pinching his fingers from time to time.
After a while, he nodded, his brow loosened, as if he approved of something.
"Chess is like a person, this girl has a fierce chess style, like a man who fights on the grassland of Bingzhou. ”
Lao Huang said slowly.
Liu Han smiled, he understood what Lao Huang meant, but this had nothing to do with him, and he didn't have the slightest affection for the Great Jin Dynasty or the Great Jin royal family.
"It's time to add some people in the house and in the garden, the New Year is over, we celebrate the New Year, the displaced people outside the city also have to celebrate the New Year, the human market is probably much more prosperous during this time, buy a hundred first, fifty in each of the garden in the house, count the number of marriageable people in the house, let them go to their own place, and the backyard will not be used. ”
Liu Han didn't take Fang Huiyun's matter to heart, he felt that he was in good spirits and a little less irritable.
However, he still told Fang Huiyun to watch closely, he felt that there were a lot of strangers on the nearby streets recently.
Lao Huang scoffed at his reminder, this situation had already been noticed, he had already reminded Fang Huiyun, and sternly warned her that she should never take risks at this time.
"This girl, I'm a little worried, she's very bold, and her cultivation looks good, but the more she is like this, the easier it is to have an accident. ”
Lao Huang said calmly.
Liu Han's expression was cold, Fang Huiyun's injuries had not recovered some time ago, so he was not worried, but now, her injuries have been healed by ninety percent, and in another half a month, the injuries will be all healed, but the more this time, the more dangerous it is.
"Women, they always lack a little rationality and impulsiveness. ”
Liu Han sighed, got up and went out, Fang Huiyun was still in the courtyard, sitting cross-legged under the green bamboo and meditating.
Liu Han sat down across from her, didn't speak, just sat there quietly.
Liu Han only paid attention to the observation of the bamboo forest at this time, and then he found that the bamboo forest was a little dilapidated, the ground was covered with fallen leaves, the yellowed leaves were soaked in snow water, rotting and dissolving in the earth, there was still unmelted residual snow in the corner of the wall, and there was cyan moss at the lower end of the wall, he couldn't help but sigh softly.
"What are you sighing for?"
Fang Huiyun had already opened her eyes and was staring at him.
Liu Han stared at her eyes, these eyes were a little wild, a little unwilling, and a little sad.
"Are you healed?"
Liu Han tried to keep his tone as gentle as possible.
"Say whatever you want,"
Fang Huiyun said impatiently, Liu Han hadn't spoken yet, and the corners of her mouth showed a bit of sarcasm: "I heard what you just said, with my cultivation, this distance is nothing, in fact, you don't care if I can hear it, right, I'm not wrong." ”
Liu Han didn't speak, Fang Huiyun sneered: "Do you regret it? Regret not handing me over to the internal guard? You can do it now, I won't blame you, and there is no reason to blame you." ”
Liu Han sighed and looked at her with pity: "I am even more worried about your situation, do you know? We have similarities, we all have enemies, our enemies are different, you are the imperial court, I am not, but one thing is the same, our enemies are very strong." ”
Fang Huiyun showed a look of surprise, Liu Han said: "If you want to take revenge, the first thing is to ensure that you are alive, I have always been very careful to live, and I have made every effort to improve my cultivation, because I know that only by living can I have the hope of revenge, so I have always been very careful and careful to live, I can't make a little mistake, even if it's a small mistake, I'd rather be slow, because if it's fast, it's easy to make mistakes." ”
Fang Huiyun's mouth opened slightly, she looked at him dumbfounded, and asked for a long time: "You also have enemies?"
Liu Han nodded.
"Who is your enemy?"
Liu Han shook his head, Fang Huiyun thought that he was unwilling to speak, so he asked unwillingly: "With your cultivation." , his cultivation is very high?"
"His cultivation is not only very high, but also extremely powerful, and there are many capable people under him, as far as cultivation is concerned, I know that at least one of his subordinates is higher than me. ”
Liu Han said.
Fang Huiyun gasped, Liu Han's cultivation had already stepped into the realm of the Grandmaster, so how high was his enemy's cultivation!
Could it be the Grand Master?
Great Grandmaster, the imaginary existence of the Great Jin.
"I mean, revenge is an adventure in itself, but we can avoid unreasonable risks, hide in the shadows, accumulate strength, find the right moment, and deliver a fatal blow, this is the way to take revenge. ”
Fang Huiyun nodded thoughtfully.
After doing Fang Huiyun's ideological work, Liu Han left the Bamboo and Stone Garden, returned to the backyard, and told Tianna that he was going into the quiet room, and that there was nothing special to disturb him.
It was getting dark, and Liu Tie came back from outside, still standing outside the quiet room as usual.
Liu Tie sat outside the door like a log, looking at the night sky that was getting darker and darker, the wind blew from the depths of darkness, with a biting coldness, in the middle of the night, the sky was boiling and white snowflakes were falling, and the snowflakes fell from the dark sky, like petals falling from the depths of the starry sky.
The snowflakes fell to the ground and soon melted, the garden was very warm, Liu Tie was wearing a leather robe, holding a long knife in his arms, but he felt a little hot, he knew that it was the heat emitted by the fire marble in the quiet room, and this heat dispelled the cold.
There was no moon, no stars, the sky was dark, and the surroundings were quiet, and occasionally from outside the house came the sound of knocking, which spread far away in the quiet night.
Suddenly, there was a hint of strangeness in the air around him, Liu Tie suddenly opened his eyes, and the long knife in his arms silently popped out of the scabbard two inches, and the sheath emitted a trace of cold light.
The air in the small courtyard suddenly became intense, and countless heaven and earth vitality surged violently towards the quiet room, and snowflakes danced wildly in the air, like frightened butterflies, fluttering in panic, as if they wanted to get rid of that suction!
Liu Tie first looked at the quiet room blankly, and then was pleasantly surprised, this situation has been seen before, it was a breakthrough in the Liu Han realm, which shows that the Liu Han realm broke through again, but the movement of this breakthrough was a little bigger than the last time.
Outside Liufu, at the corner of the street, two figures avoided the city guards patrolling the street, came out of the shadows, and stood in the corner and were hesitating where to go, when suddenly the figure in front of them stopped, and his face changed greatly.
"Broken Mirror!"
The figure behind him asked puzzledly, "What?"
The man in front of him did not answer, looking at the swarthy mansion, his eyes showed envy, jealousy, admiration, and all kinds of emotions were intertwined.
"Look at this movement, it should be the Grandmaster Breaking the Mirror!"
"Grandmaster Broken Mirror?!"
The voice of the black shadow in front was slightly old, and the voice in the back was crisp, and it was also shocked.
The black shadow in front nodded, and the black shadow in the back looked at the mansion, at this time she also felt the fluctuation of the vitality of heaven and earth, her realm was still lower, if it weren't for the reminder of the black shadow in front, she might have ignored it.
After a long time, the dark shadow behind asked in a low voice, "Do you want to go and see? whose mansion is this?"
"Generally, this kind of broken mirror is most taboo to be disturbed, and it is guarded by masters. Who is this?
The black shadow in front muttered to himself, the owners of all the mansions in this area have been clearly investigated, and the direction of the surging vitality of heaven and earth is the Liufu, and after a long time, the black shadow in front of him made up his mind: "Go here first and have a look." ”
As he was talking, his expression suddenly changed, and he grabbed the black shadow behind him and silently flashed into the darkness on the side.
A Taoist fell from the sky and stood on the roof of the house they were trying to enter, with fluttering sleeves, suddenly like a fairy.
"I can't imagine that someone is breaking the mirror here!"
The Taoist looked in the direction of Liufu and muttered to himself, he didn't go in, just stood in the dark night sky and watched quietly.
A side courtyard in the palace, this courtyard is very quiet, usually few people come, few people in the palace notice this side courtyard, in the memory of the old people in the palace, this side courtyard is the tomb of the eunuch alive, no eunuch wants to work here, because the eunuchs who serve here have no future.
In the quiet room of the small courtyard, a white-bearded old man slowly opened his eyes, his brows furrowed slightly, his gaze seemed to pass through the wall of the quiet room, through the tall palace wall, to see what was happening in the imperial capital.
After a while, the old man slowly closed his eyes again and ignored them.
The direction he was looking at was the direction of Liufu.
In the wing room of the courtyard, a little eunuch was staring out the window blankly, the snowflakes falling one after another, and the light shone on his delicate face.
This face is full of sorrow.
