Upon seeing this situation, Zhen Mi put out all her previous fantasies. Everything she saw was just an undecided future. The original future could be erased by someone. So, can the Zhen family circumvent it?
Thinking about this kind of thing, Zhen Mi sighed helplessly. As her mother, Lady Zhang, took control of the Zhen family for longer and longer period of time, the traditions left by her father, Zhen Yi, became less and less. Although it seems that the Zhen family is becoming more wealthy and prosperous, after seeing the changes in the mirror, Zhen Mi had a feeling that the Zhen family now seems to be cooking oil on a fierce fire. And flowers are like brocade, although beautiful, it would just last for a while before it decline.
Zhen Mi strongly hopes that her mother will change her actions and restore the previous system. Unfortunately, she is just a canary in the Zhen family. She has no real power. Although she is smart and have great potential, the eight-year-old loli can only do harmless things. Lady Zhang might listen to her, but she will never allow Zhen Mi to interfere with those things that really determine the direction of the family.
"Cooking oil on a fierce fire. The flowers are like brocade. The last beauty before its destruction." Zhen Mi looked at the sky, and the snowflakes fell slowly. The hazy weather was like Zhen Mi's mood at this moment. Who knew that a little loli could have so many thoughts?
After Chen Xi handed over the plan to Mi Zhu, he didn't care about it. Anyway, he was just swallowing the Zhen family just like they did to Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang. They were gonna be put in the same situation as Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang when they first returned to Zhongshan.
"It's snowing." Chen Xi said, who was standing by the window, looking at the white snow outside and reaching out to catch a piece of snowflakes. "I don't know how Hua Xiong is doing. Winter is here and the beginning of spring means the kidnapping has begun. Pay attention, you don't want to be dazzle by the money."
"Chen Xi is still worried about Hua Xiong?" Lu Su asked, while drinking ginger tea and wrapped in a fur coat. Jiangnan's people has never seen snow and they naturally suffered from the cold.
"I'm just worry that he won't bring back something easily. Forget it, let him go. There is basically no one in the world that can defeat him head-on with the four thousand soldiers in his hand. Uh, that's wrong. Chang'an really has troops that can defeat it." Chen Xi was arrogant at first, then he realized that he said something wrong, "Well, Gao Shun can't defeat him, there are not enough troops. Hua Xiong's four thousand soldiers will obey all orders and face the blade without changing colors. They are elite soldiers in their own rights."
"Chen Xi, I actually have some thoughts in training soldiers, but since I saw Yu Jin's training, I feel that I am bad at it. But after seeing Hua Xiong soldiers, I feel that it is no longer just bad. Can Chen Xi tell me the secret?" Lu Su was quiet for a long time without speaking. Until Chen Xi turned his head to look at him, he then thought about it and said.
"The method can be told, but the soldiers trained by Hua Xiong are an opportunity that can be encountered but not sought." With a wry smile, Chen Xi told Lu Su the whole method, and he also told Lu Su about his own speculation. Lu Su's eyes glowed after hearing it and he wanted to try it now.
"It's too inhumane." Liu Ye raised his head and commented.
"No one will think you are dumb if you are silent. I recently collected a bunch of evidence on your violations of law and discipline. I have already given it to Man Chong. I really want to see you be caught by Man Chong." Chen Xi turned his head and threatened.
"Oh oh~" Liu Ye stretched out lazily without grace. He was already broken by Chen Xi. He then replied, "Humph, don't you know that there is a rule in the Han law called captured and concealment where you won't be guilty? Man Chong once said that when I break the law, he would hide me. As he was the one who caught me, he didn't break the law by hiding me. Just so you know."
Chen Xi almost spewed the tea on Liu Ye. You can still play like this? Thinking about it again, there really is such law, and it seems that it was also done in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties.
"Lu Su, what do you think of this law?" Chen Xi turned his head and hinted to Lu Su.
The pitiful Lu Su was wrapped in a leather coat with the brazier at his feet. He was still trembling from the cold, so he could not care about Chen Xi's face. He nodded and said, "This law is very good, and the law is nothing more than human desires. Don't proclaim that the legal system does not conform to the human desires. In the legal system, the creator of the law and the law enforcers are still human. And they are also under the rule of one person."
"...you pass." Chen Xi looked at Lu Su speechlessly, then turned to Liu Ye and said.
"This day is also short. Why don't we go out and have fun? I have a singer in my house. Chen Xi and Lu Su, do you want to go?" Liu Ye changed the subject, and he could see that Chen Xi was bored now.
"Creak~" The door of the government office was pushed open, and a cold wind blew in. Chen Xi couldn't help but shrink his neck. Lu Su hugged himself directly into a ball. His eyes bursting with fierce maliciousness as he look at the person who opened the door. .
Liu Bei, who pushed the door and entered, naturally saw the strong malice in Lu Su's eyes, but he just smiled because Lu Su couldn't bear the cold. He then closed the door with his backhand.
"If Lu Su is too cold, let's move the government affairs to my living room. I lighted three braziers over there, which is much better than the one here." Liu Bei said with a smile. He didn't want his subordinates to suffer for no reason. It is not a good habit for several people to go to the government office for a little bit of government affairs.
"Thank you Liu Bei." Lu Su said with a shiver.
Chen Xi glanced at Lu Su. He knew full well that with such a thick leather jacket Lu Su should not be cold at all. It was just that Lu Su was not used to the weather here. He would be fine after two years. As for trembling because of the cold, that was impossible with this temperature. In short, it is more because of a psychological effect.
"Where are Guo Jia and Fa Zheng?" Liu Bei looked at the somewhat empty government office and asked strangely.
"Guo Jia said that he was going to experience the suffering of the people with Fa Zheng" Chen Xi said with a weird smile on his face.
"You can just say that they ran away. I won't mind it. Actually, I'm surprised that Chen Xi is still here." Liu Bei instantly understood what he meant. He had experienced the suffering of the people, and he didn't like it. Doing miscellaneous and trivial government affairs, then going out to drink wine and listen to music was the experience they were talking about.
"I have things to deal with here. I been counting the days. The pit Guo Jia dug is too big. We have to make preparations early on." Chen Xi sighed and said, "The conspiracy has made a mess. In Qingzhou, the Yellow Turban had jump without consideration. Grain is always a problem. The food purchased by the Lu family has not arrived yet, and the Mi family is still suppressing the Zhen family. At the end of March, Guo Jia caught us a school of fish, but I'm afraid we will be crushed to death..."
"Creak~" The door was pushed opened again. "Yo, Lu Su is still afraid of the cold." Guo Jia said without even closing the door, "I've seen the lord!"
"Guo Jia, close the door for me!" Lu Su shivered even more outrageously, completely disregarding his demeanor.
"I heard people say that you have to face it the more you are afraid of it, so that you can overcome it." Guo Jia grabbed Fa Zheng, then muttered. It was obvious that Fa Zheng was a little dizzy now.
