Rebirth of the Golden Bastard

Xia Cangqiao separated from the Xia family.This is the latest breaking news in the capital city of Yilan.I heard that the young master who did whatever he wanted was severely punished by Emperor Ren this time, and he was severely injured in prison and could only rest at home paralyzed and unable to see anyone.The common people clapped their hands and applauded, word of mouth spread that evil people always have evil rewards, it's not that the time has not come yet.And the seriously injured young master in the rumors was enjoying the cool in the back garden of the Xia Mansion at this time, Gu Xiao was shaking a cattail fan beside him, and there was a person sitting opposite the stone bench.

After Jiang Ji became Xia Cangqiao's reserved shopkeeper for no reason, he also became his bodyguard for no reason.He changed out of his black clothes and trousers, and changed into a scholar's attire.As for the reason, it was because Xia Cangqiao thought that Xia Yunqing was enough for the man in black beside him, not to mention... who else in the world looked better in black than Xia Yunqing?

Sitting on the stone bench, Jiang Ji watched Cang Qiao eating grapes one by one, his idle look was completely different from the calculating shrewdness of that night.He couldn't help asking: "Which one is the real you?"

Cang Qiao squinted at him, "Have you lost your mind?"

The corners of Jiang Ji's mouth twitched, "I just want to know if you, who are said to be ignorant and useless, are the same person as the you I saw that day."

"I'm really ignorant." Cang Qiao yawned lazily. The hot summer sun quickly evaporated the moisture in the air, as if the vitality in her body had also been absorbed, which made people feel unmotivated, " I don’t know much Yilan characters, and I don’t know the history of famous people.”

Jiang Ji didn't believe it, "Then why are you always unexpected?"

Cang Qiao clicked her tongue, "It's because you guys are too conformist."

Gu Xiao looked at him curiously, "Master, what is the meaning of this?"

"It means that my thinking is out of the way, and your thinking is all in a fixed frame." Cang Qiao did not forget to praise herself first, and then said: "Want to hear me tell a story?"

Both Jiang Ji and Gu Xiao nodded.Cang Qiao coughed, put down Erlang's legs, and said with a serious look: "Once upon a time, there was a big city."

"What is a city?" Gu Xiao interrupted.

Cang Qiao glared at him, and Gu Xiao stretched out his hand to put a seal on his mouth.Cang Qiao continued: "In that big city, there are many different jobs and different people. There is a very clear class system. Those who are at the top can toss the people below to death at will. In these occupations, There is a profession that is very sacred, and they are called the police."

"What is the police?" This time it was Jiang Ji who interrupted.

Cang Qiao glared at him again, and continued: "The police are there to protect the people, whether it's life or property. They are called public servants of the people, and they allow ordinary people to live safely in the city."

Jiang Ji nodded, "It's the catcher in the yamen."

"It's just that these policemen have never really done anything for the people. They collude with thieves and share the spoils with each other, but on the surface they pretend to be dedicated. In one of the small places in that big city, the people in charge of that place The police will clean up the small thieves layer by layer, and help those big thieves get more room for profit."

"They are too hateful!" Gu Xiao suddenly said angrily, "How can this happen!"

Cang Qiao said: "The reality is like this. People always think of themselves. Those policemen can save face by catching small thieves, showing that they are doing something, and at the same time ensured the territory of the big thieves. And there, there are a few They're little thieves, they're orphans and bums, they're not part of the big thieves, so they're always being chased by the police."

Gu Xiao was fascinated by what she heard, and even forgot to fan her fan. She stared at Cang Qiao, "Then what?"

"The group of thieves consisted of only five people. They rented together in the slums, and they acted separately and sometimes together every day. They stole very frequently, and the amount they stole each time was not large. Sometimes they didn't get anything for a whole day, because They will also be bullied by the gang of thieves and avoid the police. They don’t know where the next meal will be after the last meal. They have no hope or extravagant expectations for life. Open your eyes every day, as long as you are alive today, then live well go down."

Gu Xiao felt sore when he heard this, "Why do you have to be a thief?"

"Because there is no other place that needs them." Cang Qiao looked at the rockery in the distance, and said calmly: "They have never been to school, they don't know much, and two of the five are in poor health and can't do physical strength. Labor. There is another one who has been ill for a long time, and one who is a girl with some mental problems. The remaining one is the only one who is healthy, but if he goes to work honestly, even if he does physical work, the monthly money is not enough for five people. Not to mention the rent, water and electricity, if the boss delays their wages, they will not be able to survive."

Jiang Ji remained silent, looking at Cang Qiao's face, always felt a subtle feeling.This is not like an ordinary fabricated story, but it seems to be true, Xia Cangqiao experienced it personally.That's not right, how could Xia Cangqiao end up in such a state since he was a child with rich clothes and good food?

"The only healthy man is always caught by the police. Those policemen look at him condescendingly and tell him, why should he be a thief if he is so good? Can't he do something more self-respecting? They always say , The prodigal son turns back, but for that person, being a good person is the most difficult thing, a good person will not be able to survive, and a good person will not be protected by anyone."

Gu Xiao's eyes were red, pinching her fingers and unable to speak.Cang Qiao paused for a long time when he said this, and then he withdrew his eyes from looking into the distance, and with a smile on his face again, he looked at Jiang Ji and said, "Did this story inspire you?"

Jiang Ji frowned, thought for a while and said, "I don't quite understand."

Cang Qiao pouted, "I guess you don't understand either."

Jiang Ji looked at him and said, "If that person, because he lives in a very complicated situation, wants to survive and protect others, so he always takes the edge of his sword, then I can understand. But...you are not that person."

Cang Qiao paused, with a complicated expression on his face, and after a while he said: "Yeah... I'm not that person." He laughed again: "I'm very emotional after hearing this story, isn't a person You can live by only taking the road that others take for granted, or the way of life that you take for granted. Sometimes you can see a different future under your feet by changing your thinking, changing your angle, or starting from other people’s ideas.”

He stretched out his hand and scratched his face, "I can't explain the truth, but...that's what happened. Jin Zhang's conspiracy, Hanyue Palace's conspiracy, if you think about it from another angle, you can see many flaws Yes. Your ideas are too single, such as how to attack and how to defend in Yilan, so you will only be trapped. Jump outside the circle and be a bystander and try it... probably that’s what it means."

Jiang Ji suddenly realized, looked at Cang Qiao and said: "You are suitable to be a storyteller."

Cang Qiao raised her eyebrows, "It can be considered."

Jiang Ji smiled, with genuine admiration in his eyes, he looked at a certain position behind Cang Qiao, and suddenly said, "Aren't you tired of the second young master standing there all the time? Why don't you come and listen to the story together?"

Cang Qiao was taken aback for a moment, then turned around, and behind the empty corridor was the corner of the corridor.A black shadow slowly came out from behind the pillar, the opponent was holding a sword in his hand, he seemed to have just returned from practicing swords somewhere.He stood a few steps away from Cang Qiao, and the two looked at each other from a distance.

Xia Yunqing felt a little complicated at the moment, he was full of doubts.He didn't know where Cang Qiao heard the story that seemed to empathize with him, and he didn't know that Cang Qiao had such a mature idea.This person is getting farther and farther away from the big brother he knows, and the big brother he knows is getting more and more dissimilar...

——That's not your big brother at all!

Fang Xing's words suddenly appeared in his ears, Xia Yunqing's heart was shocked, and then he denied it in his heart: It was just trying to sow discord, it wasn't true.

He walked towards Cang Qiao, and sat down on the stone bench on the other side in his robe.Gu Xiao picked up the fan again to fan the two young masters, Jiang Ji felt exhausted looking at him, "Aren't you tired with such thin arms?"

Gu Xiao puffed up his cheeks, "Look under me?! I'm so strong!"

Jiang Ji couldn't help laughing, and then felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.He looked sideways at Xia Yunqing, who lowered his head and looked at the stone table as if in a daze, Cang Qiao stopped talking and ate grapes one by one with his chin resting on his hand.

Jiang Ji felt a little restless, he stood up and coughed dryly, "I'll continue to look for another person from Hanyue Palace." He left after finishing speaking, and pulled Gu Xiao along before leaving. Gu Xiao's so-called great strength was captured by Jiang Ji. Ling left like a chick.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet.The eyelids of people who are pierced by the sun hurt.The cicadas chirping all over the garden outside the gazebo seemed to be dying, making people flustered.

"Brother..." Xia Yunqing broke the silence and said, "That story..."

"I read it from the book." Cang Qiao said bluntly.

Xia Yunqing looked at him silently, "You can't read."

Cang Qiao "uh" for a moment, the more guilty he is, the more likely he is to make mistakes.He dropped another grape in his mouth, "That's what I heard from others."

Xia Yunqing looked at his side face quietly, knowing that the other party was perfunctory, but couldn't bear to ask aggressively.

He sighed and asked, "Is that person like Brother?"

"Ah?" Cang Qiao looked at him suspiciously.

"The person in your story, like my brother, is never interested in other people's rumors, nor is he interested in other people's evaluations, as if he is not interested in anything, as if he will leave in the next second?"

Cang Qiao blinked, raised the corners of her mouth and said with a smile: "It should be."

Xia Yunqing seemed to be suddenly stimulated by something, and the hand that had been on her knee suddenly raised and grabbed Cang Qiao's wrist, "Then where is the big brother thinking? Will you leave us suddenly? Why did you give me the heir? You What do you want to do?"

In fact, what I want to ask most in my heart is: Are you not interested in me at all?Can it also be said to push it away?

Cang Qiao looked at the face approaching in front of her, a handsome face with a clear outline.He seems to have grown up a little bit compared to when he first saw him, and he exudes the breath of a good man.He actually had the urge to kiss this face fiercely.

But no, not yet.He hasn't figured out what is the relationship between himself and the ring, what the people in Cold Moon Palace want to do, and Mr. Qi behind him.What happened in the past few days will definitely happen again. Those who he failed to protect in the past must be protected in this life.

Speaking of which, Xia Yunqing really resembles that person.In the story, the person who has been seriously ill is the one who should be protected the most, but he always stands in front of him.He has never dared to think, until now, he has never dared to think about the expression and reaction of that person when he knew that he had been in a car accident.

I faintly feel that if I think about it deeply, I will no longer be able to live comfortably.You may even lose your reason to live.When that person was in pain, I was enjoying all of this, but if that person knew that he was reborn into such a rich family, he would definitely smile and say, "You have to live back my share."

My heart suddenly became a ball, what Xia Yunqing said was wrong... It's not that I don't care about anything, and I'm not interested in anything.

"Xia Cangqiao!" Xia Yunqing suddenly called him by name, this was the first time.Cang Qiao was suddenly pulled back from the distant memory, and had the illusion of being forced to wake up.He stared blankly at the person in front of him.

Xia Yunqing's complexion was actually very bad, and there was anger in those always calm eyes.

"Who are you thinking about?" Xia Yunqing said word by word, her fingers grabbed Cang Qiao's wrist unconsciously, "Who are you thinking about while looking at me?!"
