Chapter 1021: Encounter with the Color Play Master
Zeng Jing returned to Jinling in March.
After Su Mingzhe got the news, he asked Cai Po to arrange a blind date for him and Zeng Jing.
Now is the Double Ninth Festival in September.
Before I knew it, half a year had passed.
During these six months, the Ming Dynasty's national power prospered.
Although disasters continued to occur in various places, the people in various places still gritted their teeth and persevered because the imperial court exempted the head tax and land tax.
Of course, the imperial court also had "work-for-relief" and carried out various infrastructure projects in various places.
All the processes are basically copying what Su Mingzhe did in the "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" dimension.
After doing these things, Su Mingzhe is not the type of person who would do good deeds without leaving a name.
While Su Mingzhe was helping the Ming Dynasty to replenish its blood, he also did not forget to order the Jinyiwei and the officials he had conquered to spread his "holy name".
As the time goes.
Su Mingzhe gradually gained the title of "Holy King" in the Ming Dynasty.
The reason why Zeng Jing did not refuse their date even though she knew that Su Mingzhe was lustful was because she was influenced by Su Mingzhe's current excellent reputation.
Nowadays, the relationship between the two is getting closer and closer.
All it takes is an opportunity to break through the last layer of window paper.
Zeng Jing looked at the horse that the man was leading over. Her eyes, which had always been gentle and clear, rolled their eyes at the man.
"Get on your horse!"
Su Mingzhe deliberately put on a serious look and signaled Zeng Jing to get on the horse quickly and not block the road.
Zeng Jing looked at the people coming and going, and it was not easy for her to refute the man, so she had to jump up with a red face.
Su Mingzhe followed closely behind her and sat on the horse's back, tightly restraining her waist.
Under the surprised gazes of passers-by, Su Mingzhe squeezed his legs against the horse's belly, and the horse under him leaped out.
As a woman of the world, Zeng Jing did not feel shy. Instead, she looked indifferent and let the man hold her in his arms.
At first, Su Mingzhe was quite touchy and not very honest.
However, seeing that the woman didn't react, he had no choice but to behave himself.
After riding all the way, the two arrived at the foot of Tangshan Mountain before the hour of Si.
After leaving the horses at a nearby post station, Su Mingzhe took Zeng Jing's hand and walked towards the mountain.
Even though Tangshan is far away from Jinling City, there are still many tourists who go hiking.
Some tourists, like Su Mingzhe and Zeng Jing, travel on a budget and go out with just some luggage and water bags.
There are also some rich people mixed in with the tourists.
It would be more accurate to say that these rich people came to climb the mountain, rather than to say that they were looking for someone to carry them up the mountain.
Some ladies even had servants holding curtains beside them.
The curtain is a screen that blocks the view of other tourists.
Compared with these wealthy people, Su Mingzhe and Zeng Jing are much more low-key.
The two walked quickly.
Soon, we reached the top of the mountain and occupied a good position.
Su Mingzhe found a large, flat bluestone, spread a piece of blue cotton cloth on it, and placed the food he had brought on it.
Zeng Jing also placed the flower cakes she had steamed herself, as well as some snacks and dogwood wine on the large bluestone.
Cornus officinalis wine, also known as yellow flower wine or chrysanthemum wine, mainly consists of cornus officinalis, chrysanthemum, glutinous rice, and koji.
After the food was served, Su Mingzhe took out two cups, poured one for himself and one for Zeng Jing, and invited them to clink glasses.
The two of them ate and chatted, looking relaxed, which made many tourists envious.
Suddenly, Su Mingzhe noticed that Zeng Jing began to lower her head and remained silent. After a while, she reacted:
"Anyone you know?" "Lian Sheng, the juggler from Black Rock!"
Zeng Jing pointed the man in the direction.
Su Mingzhe looked in the direction Zeng Jing was going and saw a juggler wearing a wide cloak and a variety of costumes inside. He was surrounded by a group of people and was performing magic tricks for everyone.
The juggler Lian Sheng noticed a sharp gaze directed at him, and when he and Su Mingzhe exchanged glances, he couldn't help but look nervous:
"The Duke of Zhenguo?"
Since the Dragon Boat Festival, Su Mingzhe surpassed Dongfang Bubai and became the new number one in the world. Lian Sheng, the coward, moved out of Jinling City almost overnight and came to live in a village near Tangshan.
Today is the Double Ninth Festival, and Liansheng came here to perform and play the game of life.
He had not expected to meet the Duke of Zhenguo Su Mingzhe in such a remote place. He could not help but smile awkwardly, quickly packed up his stall, and hurried down the mountain.
"Why did you scare him away?"
Zeng Jing waited for the magician to leave before he raised his head and sighed:
"After I joined Blackstone, he was my first master, and he was the one who taught me how to kill people step by step!"
Zeng Jing said this to explain why she didn't dare to look up, for fear that Lian Sheng would discover something.
After all, a person's appearance can change, but their body shape and eyes cannot.
Seeing that Zeng Jing was blaming him, Su Mingzhe couldn't help but tease:
"Then I'll call him back?"
"never mind."
Zeng Jing was just talking. The reason she had plastic surgery was to draw a clear line between herself and the past.
How could he allow himself to re-enter the world just because of a rope?
"I think he doesn't look well. He may have a boil on his back."
Seeing that Zeng Jing seemed to have sympathy for Lian Sheng, Su Mingzhe opened his mouth to remind her:
"If we can't find a great Chinese doctor, he might not live much longer. I have quite a few healing elixirs. Would you like to give him some?"
“…Forget it.”
Zeng Jing thought about it and finally refused.
She does have a good relationship with Lian Sheng and Lei Bin.
When Su Mingzhe said that Lian Sheng had a carbuncle and would not live long, she felt compassion and wanted the man to help save Lian Sheng.
But then she remembered that Renawa was a killer.
If she let Su Mingzhe save Lian Sheng, then the sins of the people Lian Sheng killed in the future would probably have to be divided equally between herself and Su Mingzhe!
I am burdened with sins and will definitely go to hell after I die, so I am not afraid of being implicated.
However, in Zeng Jing's eyes, although Su Mingzhe is a little lustful, he is still a good person in power.
She didn't want to implicate Su Mingzhe because of a rope.
After thinking so much, Zeng Jing's tone has become calm and indifferent:
"Birth, aging, sickness and death are all impermanent!"
"As the Black Stone Killer, Liansheng has killed so many people. I think he has become indifferent to life and death. Maybe death is a kind of relief for him! Let's not disturb him..."
(Renawa: ….)
After Su Mingzhe heard Zeng Jing say this, he no longer mentioned the rope.
After all, he had nothing to do with Lian Sheng. If it weren't for Zeng Jing's sake, he would have killed Lian Sheng and Lei Bin long ago.
I have been working on solving Blackstone's problems myself.
If it was just the Black Stone killer, Su Mingzhe could handle it alone.
The problem is that the Black Stone Gang is not just a simple killer organization as shown in the movie.
The Chakravartin was just a tool pushed to the front.
Above the Wheel-Turning King, there are several dukes and the heads of the East Factory, West Factory, and Embroidered Uniform Guard.
Therefore, if one wants to eliminate the Black Stone Party, one can only do so in the same way as dealing with the Eunuch Party and the Donglin Party, and take things slow.
