Chapter 120 Four

Zhang Qiling changed clothes behind the screen in the study room. There was a suit with black background and light gray vertical stripes, a white shirt, and a pair of black leather shoes. After Wu Xie returned to China, he asked a tailor to come and measure him. The three provinces were sent to the army, and now it is given to Zhang Qiling, which basically fits, except that Zhang Qiling is thinner than Wu Xie.

"Sit down." Wu Erbai signaled Zhang Qiling to sit down.

Zhang Qiling threw the changed clothes and disguise items aside, put away the unique human/skin mask in the world, walked to the desk, and sat on the carved armchair on the left.

Wu Xie was also about to sit down, and his waist was already bent, but Wu Erbai glanced at him coldly and said, "You stand."

Wu Xie: "..." I suddenly felt ashamed.

Wu Erbai never reprimanded him loudly for what he did wrong since he was a child, but told him to stand as a punishment, think it through clearly, tell him what went wrong, and then reason with him, write a letter of confession, and do it in front of the whole family. Face to face recitation, and to ensure that the next is not an example.Now, is this asking him to stand still?In front of Zhang Qiling?Forget it, it's okay to stand, it's right to exercise.So, Wu Xiechu was beside him, looking pitiful, Zhang Qiling sat down and glanced at him several times, he had a bitter face, as if someone was sitting and he was standing, and the sitting person was bullying him.In fact, this is just an illusion. What makes Wu Xie miserable is definitely not that there is no chair to sit on, but the storm that will be faced next.

"You two, have you seen enough?" Wu Erbai's face was sullen, with anger hidden between his brows, obviously very unhappy.

"Enough is enough." Wu Xie quickly turned away and replied honestly.

After Zhang Qiling regained his normal body shape, he was indeed slender, with a considerable capacity, and he was one of the most handsome men in a million.However, no matter how beautiful you are, you are still a man, and according to the Shanghai School Church, that is the original sin, which is inherently unacceptable to the world.Fortunately, there was no special relationship between them, and it was not as unbearable as the rumors said. The marriage between Wu Xie and Zhang Qiling was actually a transaction. There is no doubt about it. Of course, this was Wu Erbai's wishful thinking.However, even though he thought the two of them were fine, Wu Erbai still felt uncomfortable watching them flirting in front of him, especially Wu Xie, who had a close relationship with the Zhang family and was not in the interests of the Wu family.Therefore, the first thing Wu Erbai said to Zhang Qiling was: "You guys get a divorce right away."

Before Wu Erbai, Wu Xie's grandmother had already mentioned this matter, Wu Xie was mentally prepared and asked Zhang Qiling.Zhang Qiling's answer was "No", Wu Xie was very happy, and now Wu Erbai mentioned divorce, Zhang Qiling responded naturally: "No." So direct, so natural, as if he didn't think about it, it was an instinctive reaction.

Wu Xie was very surprised, and at the same time, his face was a little hot, and he couldn't help taking a half step back, for fear that Zhang Qiling would turn his head and look at him.What's the matter, my heart is beating uncontrollably, and my heart is full of spring, but I was teased by someone with the word "no"?Wu Xie was restless, staring at Wu Erbai, also afraid that Wu Erbai's eyes would fall on him.Regardless of whether he was a man or not, it was indeed the first time in his life that his heart was filled with a certain feeling, and his mind was full of thoughts, which was deeper than when he was facing Huo Xiuxiu, or in other words, he was not on the same level.He has a guilty conscience, and he doesn't want Zhang Qiling and Wu Erbai to find out his guilty conscience, so they must not suddenly think of him during the conversation and turn their attention to him.However, God didn't seem to hear his wish. Wu Erbai gave him a cold look. It was covered with dark clouds and his face was ashen. The ancient books of the house are just like this.

"Second Uncle." Wu Xie smiled stiffly, and was about to say something when Zhang Qiling preempted him.

"My goal has not been achieved yet." Zhang Qiling looked at Wu Erbai and said calmly.

Wu Erbai withdrew his gaze and snorted coldly, "Purpose? Didn't your deal with Wu Xie fail? You didn't keep your promise, so why should Wu Xie help you achieve your goal?" Wu Erbai is a businessman and has never Don't do business at a loss, Wu Xie made it clear this time that it was a business at a loss, not to mention that the other party was the Zhang family.

Zhang Qiling's so-called purpose is definitely not his real purpose, Wu Xie knows it well, it's just an excuse.Wu Xie sighed softly, facing Wu Erbai's sharp eyes, and chimed in: "Yes, Second Uncle, we can't leave now, I still have an agreement with him."

"After my goal is achieved, I will go through the divorce procedures." Zhang Qiling sat calmly, maintaining a flat tone.

Oh, I don't want to hear that.Although Wu Xie knew that Zhang Qiling was just trying to appease his second uncle, he was still very uncomfortable when he heard him talk about divorce.But at this moment, Zhang Qiling couldn't make eye contact with him, nor could he say a word to him, otherwise Wu Erbai would definitely think that the two of them had colluded.

They are in collusion, tacit understanding.A person with Zhang Qiling's personality is suitable for negotiating conditions with Wu Erbai. Wu Erbai is calm, shrewd, calm and unmoving in situations, and Zhang Qiling has only five words - he can cultivate immortality.In terms of calm confrontation, or patience, Wu Erbai may not have won against Zhang Qiling, after all Zhang Qiling can only do one thing for several days in a row, such as staring at the sky in a daze.So Wu Erbai was silent and didn't utter a word, and Zhang Qiling was also silent with no expression on his face.Only Wu Xie looked at Zhang Qiling for a while, and Wu Erbai for a while, thinking that if it was Wu Sansheng, he would have already drawn his pistol/gun, ordered the soldiers to rush forward, and beat him up first.

"That..." Wu Xie decided to end the current silence by himself. "Second Uncle, although he didn't keep his promise, I have proposed a new exchange. I helped him, but he didn't help me. If I don't ask him to pay something, wouldn't I be at a disadvantage?" What new terms of exchange are there, let's talk nonsense.

"Heh." Wu Erbai squinted his eyes and squinted at Wu Xie, and raised the corners of his mouth contemptuously, disbelieving him very much.After a while, he stared at Wu Xie and said, "What do you have to pay? Money? Treasures? A person who has broken his promise to you, and you still choose to trust him?"

"He is not……"

"What do you have to ask the Zhang family for help, and I can't help you solve it?"

"Second Uncle. No, it's just that only he can do certain things."

"What certain things?"

Wu Xiexin said why the second uncle was so difficult, and he insisted on breaking the casserole to ask the end. Maybe he didn't believe him so he kept asking. Now in the eyes of the second uncle, he must be an unfilial son full of nonsense.Wu Xie was so depressed that he simply lost his mind and continued to talk nonsense, "It's a secret that has been passed down since ancient times."

Wu Erbai said "heh" again, with sharp eyes, "It has been passed down since ancient times? Wu Xie, what exactly do you want to say?"

"Human, what do you want most?" Wu Xie pretended to have a deep smile, but he didn't know what it was. He didn't know what this secret that had been passed down since ancient times was.

Zhang Qiling turned his head and stared at Wu Xie seriously, as if he was interested in the secret that Wu Xie said.As the head of the Zhang family, there are so many "secrets passed down since ancient times" to him, which one does Wu Xie talk about?

"That...Second Uncle, the thing that Emperor Shihuang sent Xu Fu to find..."

Wu Erbai hadn't reacted yet, but Zhang Qiling was startled when he heard the words. Qin Shihuang wholeheartedly prayed for immortality, and sent Xu Fuhai to search for fairy mountains. This is a story that Chinese people are familiar with.The bargaining chip he used to negotiate terms with that person was the method of immortality. Did Wu Xie know something, or was he playing it wrong?Wu Xie had never asked him in detail how to get the law to recognize this bizarre marriage before. Wu Xie would definitely not naively think that it would be possible to pass just by applying. He was definitely doubtful, which is human nature.

Zhang Qiling was thinking about his own thoughts. On the opposite side, Wu Erbai didn't answer Wu Xie's words, but took a deep look at his nephew and said, "Maybe we shouldn't send you to Japan." Japan used to represent advanced thinking and Technology, but now, it represents evil and blood feud. "Wu Xie, you don't listen to me anymore."

"Second Uncle, I..." Wu Xie stood where he was, not knowing how to respond to him.

Wu Erbai looked at Wu Xie for a while, then reached out to pick up the cold bowl of tea in front of him.The tea is Junshan Yinzhen, which he likes better.Since Gu Tonghua left the Wu family, Mrs. Wu, the highest elder of the Wu family, forbade the servants to make this kind of tea for any master in the family.However, Wu Erbai didn't take it seriously, he didn't think it was necessary to give up his hobbies because of a woman who was no longer relevant.

Wu Erbai drank it all in one gulp, and put the gaiwan on the table.

Wu Xie looked at Wu Erbai. The tea was cold. My second uncle never drank cold tea. He always had high demands on tea leaves and tea water. Today, why would he drink a bowl of cold tea?

"Wu Xie." Wu Erbai raised his eyelids, "Didn't your mother die at the hands of the Zhang family? Wu Xie, the Zhang family is your enemy, and you must be entangled with the Zhang family?"

Wu Xie was taken aback, and subconsciously looked at Zhang Qiling.

Zhang Qiling frowned, his calm black eyes were full of guilt.That's right, it's guilt, Zhang Qiling, who is always quiet and indifferent, not surprised by favor or humiliation, feels deeply guilty.And apart from guilt, Wu Xie seems to be able to see a trace of lingering sadness.

Wu Xie smiled bleakly, and cast a comforting look at Zhang Qiling, but felt a dull pain in her heart.He remembered that one day when Gu Tonghua was still alive, his mother who was used to wielding knives and guns but never used writing and ink suddenly said that she wanted to practice calligraphy, and then asked him to grind ink, and wrote a sentence by herself: "Bone bones are like a mountain, forget your surname, It's nothing more than the son and the red makeup", it's really inexplicable.At that time, he was very strange, Xin Dao's mother took the wrong medicine, and suddenly wanted to practice calligraphy, but now it seems that he was not considerate enough, never aware of her mother's suffering, and the secret she had buried for many years.

"Second Uncle." Wu Xie said, "Things are not what you think."

"I know better than you what the matter is." Wu Erbai cut off Wu Xie's words, "Everyone has gone, and the bad things in the past don't matter. But, you must immediately separate yourself from Zhang Qiling, because your business , your father is ten years old again, have you seen him this time when you come back?"

Wu Xie shook her head, "I haven't seen it yet. But Second Uncle, Zhang Qiling and I..."

"Is it that difficult?" Wu Erbai said coldly with a sullen face.

"Second Uncle, you are obsessed with the First Emperor. It is common for you to lose your mind for several months without getting any ancient books related to him. I remember that you once chased a collector for several years for a so-called First Emperor's dragon robe. , you should be very clear about the feeling of wanting something. Now, I am in the same state as you, I am very interested in longevity, and..." Wu Xie suddenly paused, his eyes flickering, "Will there be resurrection? Methods?"

"Crooked ways!" Wu Erbai stood up abruptly, and took a picture of the table.

Zhang Qiling also stood up, looking at Wu Xie with complicated eyes.

Wu Xie was taken aback for a moment, and looked at them in confusion.Did he say something wrong?
