The mountain breeze was cool, but it couldn't cool people's hearts.
Jiang Junling felt that his heart was very cold. He felt that this world was really too dark.
He was determined to succeed in this trip to Huacheng. He came full of confidence. Although he never said it out loud, he did have the thought of avenging his shame in his heart — other people also thought so. Otherwise, why would he chase after Fang Yan when he just returned to Huacheng after his three years of mourning?
Fang Yan had used all sorts of strange moves, but Fang Yan managed to turn the tables time and time again. In the process of clashing with Fang Yan, Jiang Junling never gained any advantage. Instead, his face was beaten red and swollen by Fang Yan time and time again.
Jiang Junling really liked the saying "turning the hand over the clouds and turning the hand over the rain", but he could only helplessly watch others put this saying on top of Fang Yan's head.
Because Fang Yan couldn't win for a long time, Jiang Junling could only defend Huacheng, unable to escape. All kinds of gossip started in Yan Jing City, and some important people in the family began to doubt his ability to control the overall situation. Some people objected, some people scolded, some people sat on the sidelines and watched the fire burn, and some people ridiculed — —
It was also because of the pressure from all sides that Jiang Junling designed such a sure-kill situation.
He spent so much time and manpower, but the result was so unsatisfactory.
Jiang Junling wanted to point to the sky and curse. Even if Fang Yan is your son — — isn't your favoritism a little too much? In just one night, you let him obtain the light of Tai Chi, you let him complete the Tai Chi Pisces, and the reinforcements you sent are stronger than the last — — how do you want people to live? Why don't you just give him the blessing of Vajra and make him immortal? Do you have the ability to make him a god or an immortal?
Jiang Junling felt that the world was dark and the heavens were unfair!
That kid lived like he was cheating. Who would be willing to touch him?
"Ordinary people know the hearts of old friends, but old friends are fickle." Jiang Junling sighed softly. "In the boundless universe, there are all sorts of strange things. Today has really broadened my horizons."
He had seen many people with exuberant destinies, but a person like Fang Yan who had such a strong destiny was truly rare in the world. If even this couldn't kill him, how heaven-defying would he become in the future?
There was a pavilion behind him with a stone table and stone chairs.
There was wine on the stone table. It was the best champagne they had carried up from the foot of the mountain.
Jiang Junling was not used to drinking champagne. He felt that it was not as refreshing and fiery as white wine, nor was it as gorgeous and elegant as red wine. But he liked champagne to celebrate the good omens of victory.
This bottle of wine was originally prepared to be used to celebrate the victory of the war, but now it seemed that there was no need for it.
Jiang Junling looked at the champagne on the table and felt that it was a mockery of himself.
Picking up the bottle of champagne, he was about to throw it far away at the foot of the mountain when someone behind him shouted, "Don't throw it — you can't throw it away. It would be a pity to throw such good wine away."
Figures flashed, and a group of people quickly rushed into the pavilion.
The leader was a middle-aged man in a black suit. He greeted Jiang Junling with a smile and said, "Second young master, if I'm not mistaken, this bottle of champagne is the 1998 Cook Anbang black diamond champagne, right? A bottle costs thousands of dollars, and there's no market for it. It's really not easy to drink it usually. My brothers and I have been climbing the mountain all night, and now we're really a little thirsty. If you don't mind, can you reward us with this bottle of wine to moisten our throats? "
While the man in the suit was speaking, the men in black that he had brought with him spread out and surrounded the General Ling in the middle.
Jiang Junling seemed not to feel the abnormality of the others. He looked at the man in the suit in front of him and said, "Li Guoqiang, you came all the way from Yanjing City to this Sword Peak. Surely it's not to drink this champagne, right?"
"Of course not." Li Guoqiang said with a smile. "However, if we can drink a sip of Pinot Noir champagne before we talk business, then this trip will be even more worthwhile."
Jiang Junling smiled and shook his head. He handed over the champagne bottle in his hand and said, "I originally thought I wouldn't need it, so I wanted to throw it away. Now that you mention it, I also feel that it's a pity to throw it away. If you're interested, then drink it. Just take it as — take it as an early celebration for my big brother. "
"Thank you, Second young master." Li Guoqiang took the champagne, shook it a few times skillfully, and suddenly stabbed it into the sky.
Bang!
A muffled sound was heard, and then the champagne in the bottle sprayed out.
Li Guoqiang drank two mouthfuls of the bottle, then handed the bottle in his hand to a man in black beside him. He looked at Jiang Junling and said, "Good wine, it's really good wine. If it wasn't for Second young master's generosity, it really wouldn't be easy for us to drink such good wine."
Jiang Junling smiled as he watched the champagne bottle being passed around in the hands of the men in black. He said, "What's a bottle of champagne? If you like it, I'll get someone to send you a few boxes of better wine when we get back. "
Li Guoqiang waved his hand and said, "No, this can't be done. If the young masters of Yan Jing knew that the eldest young master was going to send wine to me, Li Guoqiang, would I have the guts to walk out of my house? They would probably tear me apart. Who is the second young master? He's a god in everyone's heart. Who would dare to drink wine given by a god? "
A murderous intent flashed in Jiang Junling's eyes. He looked at Li Guoqiang with a smile and said, "Guoqiang, you're here to laugh at me, right?"
"Second young master, how can you say that? How can I laugh at Second young master? I'm here to cheer for Second young master. "Li Guoqiang said with a serious face. "I also just heard that Second young master is going to hold a champagne banquet tonight at Mount One Sword and invited many famous stars. Although I didn't receive an invitation, I still rushed over. I think Second young master won't blame me for coming without an invitation, right? "
Li Guoqiang looked at Mount One Sword and asked, "Second young master, what's the situation? Our contestants should have won, right? "
"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint Guoqiang." Jiang Junling said calmly, "We lost."
"Lost?"
"Lost." Jiang Junling answered with absolute certainty.
Li Guoqiang sighed deeply and said, "It seems that I came late and couldn't help Second young master much."
The smile on Jiang Junling's face disappeared. He said, "Guoqiang, we're all old acquaintances. There's no need to hide anything. If you have something to say, just say it. That big brother of mine told you to come over and watch. He wouldn't just say a few sarcastic words and complete the mission, right? "
Li Guoqiang laughed and clapped. He said, "Second young master is indeed wise. I knew that I can't hide anything from you. You also know that I, Li Guoqiang, am timid and thin-skinned. Originally, there were some things that I couldn't say and some things that I was too embarrassed to do. But under Second young master's encouragement, I felt that I should try my best. "
Jiang Junling looked at Li Guoqiang with certainty. He asked, "Then tell me properly. Did General Xing ask you to cripple me or kill me? I hope it's the latter. That way, it proves that my big brother is the same kind of person I know. "
"Second young master, actually, this matter really has nothing to do with Eldest young master. You know Eldest young master's character. He likes to go sightseeing, ride horses and shoot arrows. He's too lazy and doesn't want to worry about anything. It's just that us brothers couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to help Eldest young master get something back."
"It has nothing to do with him?" A mocking smile appeared on General Ling's face. "Li Guoqiang, you said that my big brother is lazy and likes to go sightseeing, ride horses and shoot arrows. When you said this, did you believe it? Do you think anyone in Yan Jing City would believe it? "
"An ambitious guy, in order to prove that he doesn't fight or snatch, that he doesn't have any desire for power, spouts nonsense and acts crazy all day long. If he's not reluctant to leave the flowers and ruin his reputation, then he's at a loss for what to do. Does he think that he can deceive everyone's eyes like this? Does he think everyone is an idiot? Childish. Really childish. "
"If he's really a man, he might as well stand up and fight with me. That way, he would be valued by more people. Unfortunately, he doesn't. He can only hide behind the crowd like a turtle, shooting arrows from time to time and spreading rumors. Don't you feel ashamed? "
"Ha ha ha —" Li Guoqiang clapped his hands and laughed. He said, "Second young master's words are incisive and you scold me to your heart's content. I've also discussed this issue with Eldest young master before. I also told him what you said. But Eldest young master's answer made me feel enlightened. Do you know how Eldest young master answered me? "
"I'm really curious." Jiang Junling sneered.
"Eldest young master said that if everyone thinks that my acting is clumsy, then it proves that my acting is successful —" Li Guoqiang said, "I'm not trying to get the Acting Emperor. Why would I need such superb acting skills?"
Jiang Junling's face sank and the sharpness in his eyes became even more intense.
General Xing's words were deeply philosophical. If he jumped out to fight with him, he would've long regarded him as his biggest opponent and wholeheartedly stepped on him. If everyone thought that he really didn't have any desires, then with his sensitive and suspicious character, he would naturally think that he was hiding something and had a big plan — he would even think of a way to kick him out of the game.
The wonderful thing was that his clumsy acting skills were that he didn't want anything. But secretly, he was constantly making small moves. This would make people underestimate and belittle him, thinking that his level was only so-so.
In this way, when he suddenly jumped out and brandished his bayonet, it was truly impossible to guard against.
Like now!
Jiang Junling nodded and said, "Brilliant! His words also convinced me. Now you can tell me--what is it he wants? "
Li Guoqiang's sharp eyes stared at Jiang Junling and said, "I know that Second young master is generous. He just gave us a bottle of champagne — can I ask for something else from Second young master?"
"What is it?"
"Lend me your life, how about it?"
