"You are just asking for trouble. Why do you need to compete with yourself? With your current situation, getting promoted is harder than ascending to the heavens." Li Shiyan mercilessly poured a bucket of cold water on him.
Luo Yang wasn't a fool.
He had no power or influence. If he wanted to make a name for himself in Yan Jing, it would be harder than ascending to the heavens.
However, he had always been competitive and had a strong self-esteem. How could he endure being looked down upon by the Wen brothers? He had to roll up his sleeves and do something big to make himself proud. He poured a cup of wine and poured it into his mouth. "This is what the Wen family owes me. Of course I want it! Besides, isn't it just a Constable Commander? If the heavens open their eyes and allow me to rise again, I will be awe-inspiring. Let's see if the Wen family still dares to look down on me.
”
Li Shiyan's temperament was similar to Luo Yang's, so he naturally understood his feelings. However, he still wanted to help him. "How about this? I will arrange a position for you that will give you a chance to rise."
"Many thanks for Heir's good intentions, but you don't owe me anything."
"You can't say it like that. If everything is considered owing, then what would this world become? I only want to help you because I consider you a friend. There is no such thing as owing. "
Luo Yang's eyes slightly widened. He swallowed his saliva and stared at Li Shiyan in disbelief. "Heir, do you really think I am your friend? When I went to drink with you last time, I thought you were just joking. "
"What? Don't tell me you don't consider me a friend? "
"Of course not. I just think that a person of your status wouldn't want to make friends with someone of my background." Li Shiyan's expression was solemn. "What's wrong with your background? I, Li Shiyan, am not a snob. I, Li Shiyan, want to make friends with people who are loyal. When you stood up to help me in the villa, I already recognized you as a friend.
As long as I stay in Yan Jing, you won't starve to death! No matter what happens, I will do anything for you! " At that time, many people who were close to him believed that he had killed Wang Huai. Thus, they avoided him. No one was willing to help or defend him. Although he knew that Luo Yang had stepped forward to help him because of Ji Yunshu's request, in the middle of the snow.
He had always remembered the kindness of sending charcoal. With such a friend by his side, what more could he ask for!
Moreover, their personalities were similar and their hobbies were similar, so they hit it off even more.
Although Luo Yang was a rough man, when he heard these words, his heart was moved. Tears welled up in his eyes, and his nose was so sore that it hurt …
In the end, he lifted his sleeve and wiped it away.
It was a very free and easy movement! Pouring two cups of wine, he raised his cup and said, "Since the Heir Apparent does not despise my background and even treats me as a friend, even though I, Luo Yang, am not a good person and have not studied much, I know how to write the word 'loyalty'. From now on, you are mine.
Brother, if there's anything you need, just let me know. I won't hesitate to climb a mountain of swords or dive into a sea of flames. "
Li Shiyan immediately raised his other cup and said, "Good. From now on, we will share blessings and misfortunes together."
"Let's do it!"
The two of them raised their heads and drained their cups of wine in one gulp.
Li Shiyan felt that it was not enough, so he drank a few more cups and asked the waiter to serve a few more pots of wine.
In the distance, Xiao Luzi had a worried look on his face. He put his palms together and prayed silently, "God, you must bless us. Don't let our Crown Prince get drunk. Please help us, Amitabha, Amitabha …"
Opposite them, Jiang Bin and the others saw the actions of Li Shiyan and Luo Yang.
One of them said, "Isn't that the guy who saved the damsel in distress at the inn last time?"
"That's him!"
"Jiang Bin, didn't you say that he is General Wen's man? Why is he so close to Li Shiyan? "
"That's right. Who is he?"
Everyone's words stirred up a strong curiosity about Luoyang.
They retracted their gaze from the opposite side and looked at Jiang Bin.
Jiang Bin squinted his eyes and looked at Luo Yang. He was also confused.
There was almost no one in Yan Jing City who could know the Wen brothers and be close to Li Shiyan at the same time.
Previously, he thought that if he could befriend Luo Yang, he might be able to get close to the Wen family. However, he did not expect Luo Yang to be so close to Li Shiyan. His plan fell through.
Moreover, it was crushed!
He was afraid that he would not only make a friend, but also make an enemy!
Seeing that Jiang Bin did not say anything, they did not ask anymore. After the time it took for a stick of incense to burn, the Top Beauty Selection officially began. The people from the Ministry of Rites had already arrived at their seats on the first floor. The Minister of Rites, Zhu Tingzhi, sat in the middle. There were many booklets on the table in front of him. They were the names of the women who had come to participate in the selection.
He flipped through them and put them aside. Then, he whispered a few words to the official next to him …
"Dong!"
The gong sounded. A civil official from the Ministry of Rites, dressed in official robes, stood at the side of the circular stage. He held a yellow silk booklet and shouted, "Today, there are a total of three hundred and three booklets submitted by the various prefectures and provinces. There are seventy-six women who are fifteen years old, ninety who are sixteen years old, ninety who are sixteen years old …"
The civil official reported one by one.
The civil official reported one by one as usual.
Finally, he closed the booklet and sounded the gong again.
Then, the civil official reported the selection process. "The ceremony will now invite the previous Top Beauty, Miss Huazheng, to perform the first dance."
As soon as the two words "Huazheng" came out, the crowd was in an uproar. Everyone knew that Huazheng had become famous overnight after winning the Top Beauty title three years ago. Her beauty could be said to be that of a fairy who had descended to the mortal world. Many men were willing to pay any price to see her dance. However, just when she was in the limelight, she suddenly disappeared! No one knew.
What had happened? As time passed, Huazheng also became a thing of the past in people's mouths. She was rarely mentioned. Even when she was mentioned, it was mostly a sigh of regret.
But today, at the Top Beauty Selection, they heard this name that they had not heard for a long time.
Although it was the rule of the previous Top Beauty Selection to perform the first dance, they did not expect that Huazheng would really come.
For a moment, countless pairs of eyes were fixed on the direction of the warm room behind them.
Nervousness, excitement, joy, apprehension … many emotions intertwined, causing everyone to hold their breath. Slowly, a red silhouette slowly walked out of the warm room. The woman was dressed in an elegant redwood robe, and her long hair fell to her waist like a waterfall. Her face was covered by a red veil, revealing a faint trace of her face. Even if she wanted to cover it, her eyes were
Even if one wanted to hide it, her pair of bright eyes still revealed her beauty. When her thin eyebrows were slightly knitted, it was as if there was a fairy in them. With just one look, one would be deeply mesmerized …
For a moment, many men went crazy for her!
It was as if they had returned to the day when Huazheng won the Top Beauty title three years ago.
But …
Shouldn't she be bedridden?
Even Divine Doctor Wen said that it was impossible for her to wake up in these two days. Even God Daluo could not do it.
But from the features of the woman in red, it was obviously Huazheng. But if it was not her, who could it be?
