Chapter 163 Head-on contact
Zhuangyuan Building.
The word "Tian" is on the upper room.
Qian Liang and several other preachers gathered around a table, all with serious expressions on their faces.
"This Chen Dong not only ruined my good deeds, but also insulted my reputation. He deserves to die!" Qian Liang said gritting his teeth.
Qian Liang had already told everyone what happened at the palace banquet, and he was naturally very dissatisfied with Chen Dong. Moreover, he mocked Chen Dong for being a eunuch without balls, and he dared not say a word when being ridiculed.
Unexpectedly, Chen Dong's counterattack came so quickly. Although he did not attack on the surface, he secretly mobilized public opinion and portrayed himself as magnanimous and reasonable.
Qian Liang became a rampant and unscrupulous villain.
"You lose more than you gain. Qian Liang, you are so funny."
"I've heard that the young eunuch is extraordinary, and it turns out to be true."
"From his perspective, if he quarrels with you right there, it would be embarrassing for the emperor, so of course he will keep silent."
"This eunuch has a very deep mind and is our great enemy."
"If he hadn't interfered, the evangelist of the Zongheng family would have succeeded."
"Old Wen is going to take the Soul-Dispersing Pill. Judging from Chen Dong's performance at the night banquet, it should have been unsuccessful."
"The strategists are trash! They were like that three hundred years ago, and they are still like that now!"
"We are all in the same boat, don't say such things. Since the night banquet failed, we are looking for other opportunities."
"After this incident, Chen Dong will definitely remind the emperor to be careful. I'm afraid we have no chance."
"Qian Liang, you went to see the emperor today. What was the result?"
Qian Liang shook his head grimly. "It should be Chen Dong who reminded the emperor. He kept a distance from us the whole time and said some high-sounding words."
"However, he is indeed a good emperor. He has the determination and courage to eradicate corrupt officials and bring peace and prosperity to the people. Moreover, the land-based tax system he implemented also gave ordinary people a way to survive. And the disaster relief grain, the people of Yongzhou are very grateful to him." When mentioning Yan Yunzheng, Qian Liang's face showed a complicated look.
Apart from the mission he was carrying, Qian Liang really had no ill feelings towards Yan Yunzheng.
The others at the table also fell silent.
Since Yan Yunzheng ascended the throne, many kings have risen up and the world has been in chaos, which gave these preachers an opportunity, so they came out one after another.
However, in the past six months or so, Yan Yunzheng has frequently introduced new policies for governing the country, which have given the dying Great Yan a glimmer of vitality.
They are in the torrent of the times, feeling as if they are facing a huge wave and may be overturned at any time.
"Don't forget our mission. We have already waited for three hundred years. Do we have to wait another three hundred years?"
Someone slammed the table and stood up suddenly, "The Northern Expedition is imminent, this is our best chance! Everyone, take action!"
After saying that, he walked out first.
Others also walked out one after another.
Qian Liang stayed in the room, picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
The confused eyes gradually became determined!
…………
Zhuangyuanlang was not far from Tinghualan. Those who came out of Qian Liang's room dispersed one after another, but two people came to Tinghualan together.
As soon as they came in, they saw Chen Dong sitting on the second floor listening to music. Next to Chen Dong sat a woman who kept pouring wine for him.
The two looked at each other subconsciously.
"Do you want to do it?"
"Let's take a look first."
The two of them went up to the second floor amid the waiter's attentive greeting.
After glancing at the two men, Chen Dong quickly looked away.
How can two men be more attractive than the beauty beside them?
Qiuyue poured Chen Dong a glass of wine and laughed softly, "Sir, I have found out what you asked me to find out. Qingshuang is now helping out in the kitchen of Cuihonglou. I didn't expect that the ugly girl is actually quite good at cooking."
Chen Dong raised his eyebrows and played with Qiuyue's little hand, "Did you see it with your own eyes?"
"Of course I have to look into everything you told me to do." Qiuyue slapped Chen Dong coquettishly, "How are you going to thank me?"
Chen Dong took out a silver note and stuffed it into Qiuyue's chest.
Qiuyue's face suddenly showed a blooming smile, and she leaned closer to Chen Dong, "Master, you are so rich, do you want to keep another concubine?"
This is no longer a hint, but an explicit statement.
Chen Dong swallowed his saliva, his heart suddenly moved, and he was reluctant to pull his big hand back.
Qiuyue's eyes were as charming as silk, and she kept flirting with Chen Dong. The charming look made Chen Dong feel hot in his heart.
"Officer..." Qiuyue's hand was on Chen Dong's chest, and it kept sliding down and resting on his thigh.
Chen Dong suddenly shuddered all over and his eyes fixed.
Qiuyue sneered and said, "Sir, you haven't married yet, have you?"
Chen Dong coughed lightly and said, "It's just that I've never met a lady who is so proactive."
Qiuyue smiled charmingly and said, "It's fun for men only when women take the initiative, right?"
Chen Dong concealed his embarrassment by drinking.
It's more than just fun, it's a lot of fun.
The two people at the next table looked at each other in surprise when they saw the ambiguity between Chen Dong and Qiuyue.
Since when will eunuchs be able to find women?
They live in seclusion in the mountains and are no longer able to keep up with the changes of the times?
"I've looked around, there's no one around." Someone whispered.
The other man licked his lips, a hint of desire flashed in his eyes. He clenched the sword in his hand and was about to draw it, but he saw Chen Dong suddenly stand up, and he was so scared that he quickly held down the scabbard.
Chen Dong walked around Qiuyue, put his hands on her shoulders, and looked down at her condescendingly.
Qiuyue asked in confusion: "What does the officer mean?"
Chen Dong said seriously: "The view is better when you are high up."
Qiuyue was stunned at first, but then she reacted and couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing, her body shaking.
The scenery in front of Chen Dong suddenly became bright and beautiful.
"You are so bad, officer." Qiuyue said coquettishly.
"Women don't love bad men." Chen Dong's hand gently stroked Qiuyue's face, pinched her chin, and stroked her neck.
Qiuyue gasped and held Chen Dong's hand, "Master, you haven't answered my question yet!"
"Men don't love women who aren't flirty." Chen Dong whispered in Qiuyue's ear, "You're so flirty, which man would be willing to let you go?"
Qiuyue giggled and tilted her head to give Chen Dong a kiss on the face, "When will you redeem me?"
"A wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a secret lover. Wouldn't it be more exciting if we do it secretly?" Chen Dong patted Qiuyue on the shoulder.
Qiuyue's face suddenly changed, she was about to cry, tears glistening in her eyes.
"You are an ungrateful person." Qiuyue snorted and turned her body to the side.
Chen Dong didn't expect that the woman in front of him was also an actress. However, this was normal, because none of the women who could hang out in the brothels were simple.
"I'll come to see you another day." Chen Dong pinched Qiuyue's plump face and turned to walk out.
Qiuyue thought she had found her lover, but he turned out to be just a passerby. She was so resentful that she didn't even get up to see him off.
When Chen Dong went downstairs, he passed by the table next door. He glanced at the two men and a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
