Chapter 82: Can a drunkard break a table?
It is easy to understand how much it cost, but what does this perspective pendant mean?
"透" means to penetrate, "视" means to look, and "乖" means to hang up. All three words are verbs.
The three verbs together should also be a verb, but in this sentence "透视挂" (see through hanging) are clearly a noun.
Was this word also coined by Chang'an Jun?
I can’t figure it out. I can’t figure it out…
Li Si thought about it for a long time, but still didn't understand the meaning of "perspective hanging".
Ying Chengjiao didn't ask him to stand up, so he just bent over and lowered his head, and said in a steady voice: "You are so stupid, I don't understand what Chang'an Jun is talking about. What is this 'perspective hook'?"
"It was just a joke, I just said it casually, ah." Ying Chengjiao sighed again and said, "Since you have guessed it, just keep it in your heart. Telling it to me will not give me distracting thoughts, right?"
Ying Chengjiao stood up, put his hands on Li Si's shoulders, and pressed Li Si onto the stone bench.
He stood behind Li Si and said, "You are a very smart person. You can come up with the county system and guess my plan. But what you did today was not very wise. You gave me a reason to kill you. Do you know that if my brother had not stopped you, you would have died the day you set foot on Qin territory?"
It was neither raining nor snowing.
The temperature around was obviously very suitable, but Li Si felt cold all over.
He heard naked murderous intent in Ying Chengjiao's words.
That murderous intent was even three times stronger than that of generals like Wang Jian, Meng Tian, and Li Xin who fought in many battles.
Li Si felt that the person standing behind him was not a human, but a bloodthirsty beast.
If he answered incorrectly, the beast would open its bloody mouth and bite off his throat.
Is this the real Chang'an Jun?
My current situation is much more dangerous than the day when I was targeted by Zhao Gao outside the Zhangtai Palace.
But the greater the risk, the greater the opportunity.
As long as I don't die today, the stronger Chang'an Jun becomes, the more rewards I will get.
Li Si's eyes became brighter and brighter, and his heart, which had been frightened of Ying Chengjiao, calmed down abnormally, and the coldness in his body disappeared completely.
His rigid face naturally curved into an arc, and he said slowly: "I don't know why Chang'an Jun has such a strong desire to kill me. Before entering Qin, I was just a student at Jixia Academy."
"I had a dream. I dreamed that more than 20 years later, you caused the death of the Second Emperor of Qin."
Li Si remained calm and composed, not only that, he even chuckled and said, "Changan Jun, you are joking. I don't have such ability."
"That's what my brother said."
Ying Chengjiao's voice was vague and it seemed as if he was in a trance when he spoke.
"But that dream was really real."

Li Si's shoulders made a teeth-grinding sound of bones, and Li Si felt as if a mountain was pressing on his shoulders.
Bang!
His upper body fell entirely onto the stone table with a loud noise, and cracks appeared on the stone table. How could a mortal bear the weight of a mountain?
"If I kill you for this reason, my brother will not blame me. My brother has appointed me as the Lord of Chang'an, and I will ensure long-term peace and stability for the Great Qin. In order for the Great Qin to not perish in the second generation, Mr. Li will sacrifice himself."
Ying Chengjiao's voice kept floating into Li Si's ears , and the weight on him became heavier as Ying Chengjiao spoke.
Li Si felt as if his chest and abdomen were filled with stones. He was seriously lacking in strength, and an indescribable feeling of suffocation rushed straight to his brain, making him feel like he would die at any time. His life was hanging by a thread!
But even at this time, there was no panic in Li Si's eyes.
Even though his body was in great pain, there was no trace of bitterness on that stern face.
Li Si tried his best to keep his voice steady and his words clear, saying word by word: "I am dying here today, only to make Chang'an Jun feel at ease. If you leave me here, I will follow your Majesty's lead and help Chang'an Jun to ensure long-term peace and stability in the Qin State."
The weight on his body continued to increase, and countless small white spots appeared in front of Li Si's eyes, and he could not see the scenery clearly.
His heart was pounding and beating wildly, desperately trying to pump blood and deliver more oxygen.
But under Ying Chengjiao's hands that were as heavy as mountains, the heart's struggle was of no avail.
If this continues, Li Si will die on this stone table within ten breaths.
Li Si felt more and more weak. He knew that he didn't have much time left. If he couldn't impress Ying Chengjiao, he would pay the price for his impulsiveness.
He was only exhaling but not inhaling, his eyelids were growing heavier, and he was about to die.
But the closer he was to death, the clearer his mind became. It seemed that all the blood in his body was supplied directly to his brain, allowing his brain to make the most correct choice at the last moment.
"Si! Wants! to! Be! the! Prime! Minister!" Li Si roared.
His voice was so hoarse that it seemed like it was squeezed out from a dry bellows, and his rigid face looked somewhat ferocious.
In what may have been the last moment of his life, he did not flatter or talk about his values, but instead stated his demands.
The mountains on his shoulders no longer grew larger, and the gravity on his body no longer increased. The two mountains stayed there for a moment, just at the last second when Li Si's consciousness was about to fade.
"My brother has the final say on this matter."
Mountains move and are reborn.
Li Si collapsed on the stone table, taking big gulps of fresh air greedily. He had never felt as happy as he did now when he felt that breathing freely was a kind of happiness.
This is more profitable than buying and selling.
Li Si had a bitter look on his face, but he was overjoyed in his heart. The joy of being reborn and the joy of his wishes coming true were almost completely overwhelmed in his heart.
If it weren't for the wrong occasion and not feeling unwell, Li Si would have wanted to laugh out loud and sing.
"Why is the Lord Tingwei lying on the stone table? Are you tired? Someone, help the Lord Tingwei down to rest. Whatever the Lord Tingwei asks, we will grant it."
“No need.”
Li Si's body had not recovered yet. He had no strength and could not get up, so he continued to lie on the stone table and talk.
"Si wants to talk to Lord Chang'an about remedial measures for today's court meeting."
Ying Chengjiao narrowed his eyes, sat on the stone bench opposite Li Si, and said with a faint smile: "I would like to hear the Lord Tingwei's opinion."
Half an hour later, Li Si walked out of the gate of Chang'an Jun Mansion.
Inside the pavilion, a drunkard in white clothes holding a bottle of wine sat in the seat where Li Si had just sat.
"Burp, Your Majesty, do you really want to kill Li Si?" The drunkard burped while drinking and said in a drunken voice.
Ying Chengjiao waved his hand to blow away the alcohol that was flying in front of him, and said, "I used to have this idea, but now I have no such plan. If the Qin Dynasty is still the Qin Dynasty in my dreams, after killing one Li Si, there will be another Li Si . There is nothing unchanging in this world, and there is no unchanging person. Only change is unchanging."
"I don't understand what you are saying, my Lord."
The drunkard shook his head and took two more sips of wine.
"Since Your Majesty did not kill Li Si, why did he take such a step? Is he just looking for fun and trying to read people's minds?"
"Not this time." Ying Chengjiao snatched the wine jar from the drunkard's hand, and without caring about the drunkard's saliva, he also took two big gulps of wine into his mouth.
"I didn't expect Zhao Xianglu to send Teng to deliver the letter. I couldn't bear to kill Teng, and the murderous intent I had accumulated was hard to vent. Li Si happened to come to my house and showed off his intelligence in front of me, which made me very upset. So I can only call it bad luck for him."
“This is at most one of them.”
The drunkard raised his head with his chin facing a house in Chang'an Junfu.
"Secondly, it's to vent the stuttering."
"You said you are so smart, so how come you were almost killed by Dun Ruo?" Ying Chengjiao wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth with his sleeves and joked.
"Your Majesty treats us like his own brothers and sisters, but it's a pity that Your Majesty has no ambition, so we can't put our knowledge to good use. I hate it!"
"Hahahaha, drunkard, drunkard, you are still not smart enough. You see, Stutter never says such things."
Ying Chengjiao laughed loudly, pointed at the drunkard, and laughed so hard that he fell backwards.
The drunkard just watched Ying Chengqiu laugh quietly. He didn't know what he said made him laugh. He was waiting for Ying Chengqiu to finish laughing so that he could explain to him.
This is how the master and his retainers have lived over the years.
After laughing for a while, Ying Chengjiao pointed at his nose and said, "If I had great ambitions, how could I treat you like brothers?"
"The drunkard wants to fight."
In broad daylight, a white shadow appeared beside the stone table at some point and sat on the stone bench between the drunkard and Ying Chengjiao.
Bai Ying seemed to have arrived earlier, but no one noticed him when he didn't speak.
"What are you doing here?" The drunkard rolled his eyes. "You are just a brave and aggressive man."
Bai Ying, who was called a reckless man by the drunkard, shrugged his shoulders, looking helpless towards the drunkard, and turned to Ying Chengjiao and said, "Xia Wuqi seems to have discovered something, I'll go and kill him with a knife."
Ying Chengjiao shook his head.
A woman's kindness!
The drunkard was furious and slapped the stone table, which broke into pieces with a loud crash and collapsed to the ground.
"Why are you so anxious? Xia Wuqie is my brother's man."
Ying Chengjiao immediately dodged the moment the stone table exploded and was not hit by the broken stones.
He looked at the rubble on the ground and said with a displeased expression, "The cost of repairing the table will be deducted from your wine money and monthly salary."
Bai Ying was shocked and asked, "Sir, what does this have to do with me?"
This table is not broken...
"You don't want to say go to Xia Wuqie, can a drunkard break a table?"
