It doesn't matter what the lord is.

"Want to vomit."

After drinking two glasses of water, Xiao Huang patted his chest and said:

"Is this what you call fun? Does everyone like this?"

I replied:

"Generally speaking, most people like it. But some people don't. It depends on your performance. If it's too fake, no one will like it. Appropriate cuteness is very cute, but if it's a commercial face, it will be annoying."

Xiao Huang said:

"No, no, it's too difficult."

"One minute on stage is the result of ten years of hard work off stage. If you, who know nothing, want to compete with those women who have worked hard for ten or twenty years for a spot, of course you have to resort to some crooked ways."

“So these are the crooked ways?”

“These are just necessary.”

I pondered for a long time and looked at Xiao Huang:

"Take it off."

"what??"

"Put the pillow down first... I mean, in order to ensure that we win the prize in the Oiran Contest, we need some special means. How about a swimsuit? Uh--wait, stop, I can't breathe!"

Xiao Huang jumped up and rode on me, covering my face with a pillow:

"You pervert!"

After struggling for a while, I said:

"Then give up this option. I was just joking originally. Actually, it's almost done now. Put on your makeup and perform according to what I say. Basically, I don't think it's difficult."

Today's Xiao Huang is a new-age girl who has incorporated many popular elements.

But deep down, there is still the aesthetic beauty of contemporary people.

Not rebellious, but novel. Not selling flesh, but charming.

very good already.

After teaching Xiao Huang for another day, I clapped my hands and said:

"Okay. Go back and have a good rest and sleep. Perform well in the Oiran election after the banquet tomorrow. Don't be nervous. Just work hard with the mentality of dying if you don't win the Oiran."

"Isn't this going to kill someone?"

Xiao Huang sat cross-legged and said angrily:

"Really. I'll do as you say, but don't blame me if you lose."

I yawned and said:

"If you lose, you lose. What's the big deal?"

Xiao Huang said:

"Didn't you just say 'If you can't get the oiran, you'll die'?"

"I was just kidding, Sister Huang. There are so many things to lose in this life. I just lost both the game and the battle because I didn't have money. It doesn't matter if I lose a few more games. Anyway, I'll win in the end and that's it."

Xiao Huang smiled and said:

"You are such a strange person."

She seemed to remember something and said:

"By the way, you haven't taught me how to make up yet."

I said:

"What are you thinking about? Exclusive secret recipe. Okay, just study the book I gave you carefully. How much you can comprehend is up to you."

Xiao Huang pulled my arm relentlessly:

"Please teach me, Li... Brother Deli~~ Please teach me, okay? mua~"

I distanced myself from him with a chill in my throat:

"Don't give me that. I won't fall for that. Especially after knowing your ugly face."

Xiao Huang picked up a pillow and hit him.

Are you kidding? All these cosmetics and skin care products are used by my wife. What does it have to do with you, Xiao Huang? Do you want to have a share of the pie?

14. I advise Bai Feng to kill you

After another round of criticism and instruction to Xiao Huang, I went to the riverside to see the pleasure boats before going back as usual.

What surprised me was that there was no one on the pleasure boat today. The riverside was deserted, with only a few young couples dating on the grass by the river, which was simply immoral. I was walking along the river alone, bored, and after walking around for a while, I soon spotted a familiar figure -

An actor sitting on the grass by the river and looking at the river.

I don't know if it's because there's no show today, but he didn't smile much. I walked a few steps over there and found that there was another man sitting on the other side of him.

The man was about 20 years old, with a white coat draped over his back, and looked a bit like a navy admiral. Unlike the actors, he had a gentle and easygoing smile on his face. The conversation between the two seemed to have ended, and they just sat together. I thought the atmosphere between the two was a bit strange, so I should not disturb them.

Unexpectedly, just as I was about to leave, the man next to the actor suddenly turned his head, looked at me, was stunned for a moment, then smiled and waved at me.

I frowned and thought about it, feeling that I didn't know him.

But out of politeness, I walked over and said hello to him.

The man smiled, wrapped his coat tightly around his shoulders, and said to me:

"Are you here to look for He Yue?"

"He Yue?"

I repeated the name, and seeing the actor looking up at me, I said:

"Ahh. Yes."

The man smiled and said:

"Then I won't bother you anymore. He Yue, I'm leaving first."

The actor looked up at him and said:

"I won't give it away."

The man nodded at me, then turned and left without looking back.

I looked at him strangely, then sat next to He Yue.

He Yue smiled and said:

"You were the one who gave me the gold coins last time, right? Thank you very much."

I shook my head:

"Nothing, this is what you should be thankful for."

He Yue was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed.

I smiled and said:

"Ten thousand gold coins. How much have you saved?"

“I have saved up a hundred.”

"How long have you been saving it?"

"Three years."

I calculated in my mind and it wouldn’t take that long. It would take another three hundred years to save enough.

No... a normal person won't live to be 300 years old.

I asked directly:

"I heard that you used to be a reformer?"

He Yue smiled bitterly and said:

"do not talk."

He looked at the river with a pair of melancholy eyes, his hands tucked into his long sleeves, his thin body shivering, his arms wrapped around his knees, the wind blowing his waist-length black hair behind him. He Yue frowned and said softly:

"Tiancheng...can't survive the next three years."

I asked:

"Still want to go back?"

He replied:

“Just miss it.”

I asked:

"Have you heard of Yuxi City?"

He raised his eyebrows and asked:

"Are you from Yuxi City?"

I nodded.

Then asked:

"Do you have any suggestions about Yuxi City?"

He Yue thought about it, then turned his head to look at me and answered solemnly:

"First, we must take over the ten cities of Zhaochen, and then we can swallow Yunyang. Before the great strife arrives, we must take over Yunyang to avoid being too passive. Yuxi City is too remote. It is a wild place. Even if you cultivate it for a hundred years, it is still a wild place. This will not change. The nomads in the north have been raised on the grassland since birth, and they will never be able to develop a more advanced farming civilization in their lifetime. Similarly, if we only have Yuxi City, the upper limit is far from enough."

He picked up a branch and drew on the ground in front of him.

"The territory bordering Zhaochen and Yuxi City is that of the young master Fang Lita. He looks strong on the outside but is weak on the inside and extremely suspicious. But he is assisted by Zhaochen's thirteenth daughter. She is the most famous strategic genius in the entire southwest in recent years, and she is a master at using troops. If we can alienate the two of them, we can swallow up the ten cities of Zhaochen. Then we can march eastward, split our troops into two groups and enter Yunyang, and take Lingyun City. The first step will be a victory."

I nodded and said:

"Yes. I thought so, too."

In fact, I never thought about it at all.

But I think what he said makes sense.

He Yue shook his head and said:

"But it's too late."

He looked at me with complicated eyes and said:

"Are you Lid?"

I nodded.

He sighed and said:

"The one who was looking for me just now was Yunhai Baifeng."

I raised my eyebrows:

"Oh?"

he asked:

"Aren't you curious about what advice I gave Bai Feng?"

I asked:

"what?"

He looked me in the eyes and said word by word:

"Kill. You!"

He shook his head, lowered his voice, and explained:

"The area around Yunhai is full of dangers. But the greatest danger is you. You will definitely be one of the people who will fight with Baifeng for the Yongtian Kingdom in the future! ... So when he asked me about the situation in the world, I advised him to kill you. Only if you die in Yunhai can Baifeng truly use Yunhai to rule the world after he succeeds to the throne. Otherwise, Yuxi City will always be a thorn in his throat."

"That's it."
