Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 877 Why is the cup crooked?
The two exchanged cups for a drink.

This Cheng Gongying claimed to be under Zhang Tianshi's sect in Longhu Mountain, but she made a mistake in her early years and was expelled from the sect, so she fell into the rivers and lakes and took refuge under Zhang Liang's tent by chance.But Zhang Liang didn't bother to find out Cheng Gongying's real background, as long as he knew that this person was indeed unpredictable, it was enough.

Speaking of it, one of Cheng Gongying's best skills is "supporting ghosts and seeking prophecies", often able to gain insight into the secrets of heaven and accurately see things that have not yet happened.One of the most effective things is that after Zhang Liang took Cheng Gongying in, he met His Majesty Li Er, who was still the King of Qin for the first time, and said that he "must be the Lord of the World".Zhang Liang snorted at that time, knowing that at that time Prince Li Jiancheng's achievements and prestige were higher than that of Qin Wang Li Er, and Emperor Gaozu also liked the prince more, how could Li Er, as Qin King, succeed in counterattack?

However, the facts proved that Cheng Gongying was right!

Since then, Zhang Liang has regarded Cheng Gongying as a guest of honor and obeyed his words.

I have repeatedly tried to ask what my future will be like.

Cheng Gongying said casually, "Your name is on the prophecy book in the dream, and it can become a big business"...

Zhang Liang is like, we are now the Duke of the state, what other cause can be bigger than this?
There was only one answer, so Zhang Liang was moved.To win over and buy a number of fierce soldiers in the army, and to become "fakes" to the outside world is to prepare for the "big event" in the future.But he has a sinister temperament after all, so it’s okay for him to play tricks behind the scenes, but it’s really okay to do something big if he succeeds, and if he fails, he will go to hell to catch turtles. That boldness...

But Zhang Liang is really happy recently!
Since coming to Huating Town, Zhang Liang's face has been peeled off layer by layer. He is thick-skinned. If it were another person, he would either stay with Fang Jun forever, or return to Chang'an obediently with his tail between his legs.

Zhang Liang just came and didn't leave. This delay really gave him a chance...

No one dared to imagine that Fang Jun would dare to do such a big thing. He was a powerful Jiangdong power that had been passed down for hundreds of years, but Fang Jun was crushed overnight, and all the men in his family were beheaded!

Zhang Liang didn't care what Fang Jun thought, or whether Fang Jun was willing to be His Majesty's pawn or executioner, and he didn't care what kind of compensation Fang Jun would get from the emperor afterwards.All he knew was that Fang Jun was about to face the encirclement and suppression of the world's powerful families this time. Guanlong, Shandong, Jiangnan... all the powerful and powerful veterans would attack him together. He didn't know if he would die or not. The position of the chief executive was absolutely unsafe. !

Think about the massive wealth of the seaside salt farms that you have heard about in the past few days, and look at the huge land and hundreds of warehouses in this city's shipping company. Once it is in operation, money will flow in like flowing water!

Therefore, Zhang Liang immediately wrote a letter to Zhangsun Wuji, made countless promises, and waited for Zhangsun Wuji to win the position for him.With Changsun Wuji's status and influence in the court again, this position has almost been stabilized!
Wealth and power are all waving in front of your eyes, and they are at your fingertips. How can Zhang Liang not be proud?With this pride, they drank too much wine, and the two of them became a little tipsy after a while.

Cheng Gongying filled up the wine, but found that the wine overflowed.He looked intently and was surprised. One side of the wine glass was obviously not full, but the wine on the other side had already overflowed the rim...

What's the situation?

Cheng Gongying was a little confused.

People are refreshed on happy occasions, and Zhang Liang blushes from drinking, urging: "What are you looking at? Pour the wine!"

Cheng Gongying blinked vigorously: "No... Marshal, there is something wrong with this wine glass."

Zhang Liang was puzzled: "There is Mao Bin in the wine glass? From my handsome point of view, you are the only one who has a problem! Are you a Taoist priest who pretends that all your eggs are gone? Not happy!"

Cheng Gongying said anxiously: "No, this time the poor Taoist really didn't play tricks, this wine glass is not full of wine, it's always a bit short, what's going on?"

Zhang Liang also looked at the wine glass, and saw that one side of the wine glass was still shallow, but one side was already overflowing, and his eyes widened.But he was quick-witted, slapped his thigh, and shouted: "What does this have to do with the wine glass? It's the table, it's the uneven table, it must be like this! If you don't believe me, turn the table over and look, it must be that the four legs are not aligned..."

Cheng Gongying thought it made sense, and the two really bent down to check the legs of the table.

After looking at it for a long time, no matter how you look at it, the four table legs are all in line. Then I went back to the table and looked at the wine glass. It was as thick as the top and bottom, and there was no obvious which side was higher and which side was lower. I put it back on the table and poured the wine. , or one side is not full, one side is overflowing...

The two stared at each other, speechless for a while.

What the hell!
Cheng Gongying's hair was a little blown at the roots, he was a poor sorcerer who pretended to be a ghost, and after a long time of pretending to be a ghost, it was inevitable that he would firmly believe in those dirty things in his heart.There is no way to explain the situation in front of me, what else could it be except hell?

Cheng Gongying jumped up from the stool at once, took two steps back and knelt on the ground, raised her head to the top of her head, clasped her hands together and muttered, "Don't blame the gods, don't blame... this disciple sincerely cultivates the Tao, and has never forgotten Daoist Sanqing for a moment. Today, the disciple made a wish, and in the future, I will definitely ask the Taoist priest to build a golden body and build a gymnasium..."

Zhang Liang was not in the mood to talk to this Taoist priest. He stared at the table and found that not only the wine in the wine glass would overflow, but also a large bowl of stew that was normal just now. Vegetable soup slowly overflowed from the side.

The wine glass is fine, the table is fine, could it be my eyes?
He stretched out his hand and dipped the vegetable soup overflowing from the table, um, his eyes are fine.

Whose problem is that?

Zhang Liang was confused, could it be...the problem with the boat?

But how could the boat be uneven?With no wind or waves, it is impossible to overturn at such a large angle.

Wait... the angle of the capsize?
A flash of light flashed in Zhang Liang's mind, and a terrible possibility appeared. He yelled and ran out of the cabin, directly onto the deck, looked around, and was suddenly dumbfounded...

Usually standing on the deck of the warship and jumping down, you can jump onto the trestle at the pier.But now?The trestle bridge that should have been close in front of him was twenty or thirty feet away, and the height of the trestle bridge was as high as his nose...

Zhang Liang had never been in the navy before, so he didn't react when the boat tilted, and he foolishly touched the table legs to see if the four table legs were even.At this moment, he finally reacted, but it was a bit late.

The anchor rope broke at some point, and the boat was carried away by the river to the pier.

Worst of all... the ship keeps sinking!
The ship's side on the left side is infinitely close to the water surface, and it will sink into the river in just a short while.

What the hell, I don't know how to water!

The kind of fear that people who can't swim in the water endure is definitely beyond the imagination of people who can swim...

Zhang Liang yelled at the top of his voice, "Come here, come here! The ship is sinking, the ship is sinking, where the hell are you? Come here quickly..."

The sharp voice spread far away on the silent river at midnight, and there was still a lingering sound...

The soldiers were impatient with the life on the ship. They were all exhausted after being tortured these days, and the soldiers who stayed on sentry at night also secretly squinted for a while at midnight.Anyway, this is Huating Town, and not far away is the military port of the Royal Navy. That bandit dares to come here to rob?

As for the officers and soldiers of the navy, it is certain that the two sides will not fight each other, but it is absolutely impossible to kill people at night.

Therefore, everyone is slack, how and when the ship sank, no one knows.At this moment, all the soldiers were on the deck, and the leaking speed of several warships was almost the same, so that they would not be noticed, but they were also slowly silent.

The pawns exploded immediately!

They are all infantry and cavalry that Zhang Liang has recruited and bought over the years on the battlefield. If they charge forward, they really don't necessarily have to be afraid of anyone!But now facing the sinking warships on the river, this group of people are like three or two-year-old hairy children, screaming in panic...

No way, there are not many people who can swim!

After tossing around for a while, the river has flooded the deck, and the warship is about to be silent. These fierce soldiers who charge into battle are about to feed the fish, shrimp, crabs and turtles in the Wusong River...
