Chapter 274: Thousand Yuan City Lord
From Hum Town to Qianyuan City, it is only more than 100 miles, which is half a day's journey. And from Qianyuan City to the nearest Xiandang Port, it is nearly a thousand miles and a three-day journey.
Such an arrangement, anyone with a discerning eye, can see that it is nothing more than to obtain a certain strategic space to prevent attacks from the sea from being blocked in a buffer zone of thousands of miles, so that there will be enough time to prepare for a strategic counterattack in the main city of Qianyuan.
After leaving Hum Town, stepping on the official road to Qianyuan City, it was a smooth road.
Walking with Fang Zhongfu, from time to time there were officials carrying large bags with the word "post" written on their backs, riding horses past us. There were also carts full of goods, unhurriedly following our horse caravan.
But seeing the scene of this thousand-yuan city, it is indeed much more prosperous than Qingfeng City. Not to mention the nearly four-meter-wide official road, just say that the cars and horses on this official road are constantly coming and going, and the pedestrians on the road are gorgeously dressed, you can see some clues.
Fang Zhongfu turned his head to me and smiled: "Lord Xu, you see my thousand-yuan style and weather, how is the people's life compared to Qingfeng City?"
"It's coming. I smiled in my heart, but said with a pleasant face: "Lord Fang doesn't know, I have a clear breeze to establish a city with martial arts, and the residents are martial, and they are not as enthusiastic about food, clothing, housing and transportation as a thousand yuan." Therefore, the Protoss invaded the realm, but it was Qingfeng who bore the brunt of it, forcing the Golden Horde to retreat for the fairyland. ”
This question about the donkey and the horse, but Fang Zhongfu was stunned.
I laughed, and then said: "However, the scenery of Qianyuan City is prosperous and the people are rich, but it is the work of the city lord and the adults, Xu admires it very much." ”
Fang Zhongfu's face softened at this time, he smiled, and said sarcastically: "Qingfeng has repeatedly resisted the grassland barbarians for the fairyland, and it is indeed the city of the first merit of the fairyland, didn't I hear that the fairy world elders gave the Gongming City Lord a plaque with the glorious city written on it?"
I smiled again and said: "The title of this glorious city is an honor, how can it be carried by a plaque? I Qingfeng everyone hides the word glory in the bottom of their hearts, where can I use it to show off? That plaque is said to have been used by the lord of Gongming City to pad the table legs. ”
Fang Zhongfu and I glanced at each other and laughed together.
Qi Hengshu caught up from behind and whispered to me, "Senior brother, Chen Qinglong, they have caught up." ”
I was overjoyed when I heard this, but I said: "Where is the need to be in such a hurry, tell them to rest and rest, and arrive at the main city of Qianyuan in the afternoon." ”
Fang Zhongfu asked, "Oh, Lord Xu has never arrived?"
I smiled and said, "Alas, it's not my guard, you have to ask me to take care of the breeze and face, and take the carriage." You know that I came from a military background, and I like to ride horses, so I told them to take the chariots and horses, and then they went. Who knew that they were afraid of my danger, no, they were rushing overnight, but it was about the same speed as my light car. ”
As he was talking, Chen Qinglong had already patted his horse and arrived, and he gave me a chest salute on the horse and said, "General, I have arrived with the carriage and horses, so please ask the general to get into the carriage." ”
I pretended to be impatient and said, "Okay, okay, got it." ”
After speaking, he turned his head to the other Zhongfu and said: "If Lord Fang and Xu take this carriage together, alas, Xu is just a small lord, and this carriage is second-rate in the breeze, please don't dislike it." ”
Fang Zhongfu couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw the luxuriously decorated huge carriage behind him, but he smiled and said, "Okay, I haven't suffered from boats and carriages for many years, so let's sit down." ”
I smiled and said to Qi Hengshu: "Ask Butler Qing and Miss Pu to prepare tea, and Master Fang and I will take the carriage." ”
On the carriage, Qingyu and Pu Yunzhi had already prepared tea sets, and the charcoal fire in the red clay stove was booming.
I smiled, and the other party Zhongfu said, "Lord Fang, you have to taste the tea leaves of my Chaoyang Temple today to see if you still have the honorable mouth." ”
Qingyu took out a small jar of purple sand, smiled and said to Fang Zhongfu: "Lord Fang, this tea is called Shanqing, which is produced by three thousand-year-old tea trees next to the high lake in the mountain behind my Chaoyang Temple, and it is only about ten catties a year. ”
As he spoke, he opened the teapot and stretched out his hand to shake the teapot in front of Fang Zhongfu.
As he spoke, the sand on the small red clay stove had already jumped up, making a "dingding" sound.
Pu Yunzhi poured boiling water into the teapot to warm the kettle, and then poured the water from the kettle into the sea of tea.
Only then did he take the teapot in Qingyu's hand and use the teaspoon to dial the tea leaves into the teapot. Pour boiling water into the pot until full, scrape off the tea with bamboo chopsticks, and then pour the water into the sea of tea.
Qingyu took the teapot, lifted the sand jump, and poured the boiling water into the teapot, but gently turned the teapot to let the tea evenly soak in hot water.
Cover the pot and pour hot water on the lid to heat the teapot evenly inside and out.
Qingyu nodded to Pu Yunzhi, only to see Pu Yunzhi lift the small pot, pour boiling water into the sea of tea, put the small teacup into the sea of tea, clamp the teacup with a tea clip, turn his wrist, and rotate in the sea of tea, so that the two teacups were washed and placed in front of me and Fang Zhongfu.
At this time, Qingyu had been carrying the teapot on the edge of the tea sea for several weeks, and when she saw that the teacup was placed, she poured it in turn, until the tea was ordered, and then she took back the teapot and stretched out her hand and said, "Please." ”
I smiled and said to Fang Zhongfu, who was stunned, "Lord Fang, please." ”
Fang Zhongfu hurriedly reached out to pick up the teacup, and was about to drink it, but when he saw that I was turning the cup to look at the tea, he hurriedly turned the cup as well, as if he wanted to see a flower in the teacup.
I raised the teacup and put it to my mouth, Fang Zhongfu saw that I could finally drink it, so he hurriedly took a sip, and was about to admire, but saw that I was holding the teacup and smelling the fragrance of the tea, and couldn't help but be stunned for a while.
I half-squinted, sniffed and sipped and drank slowly.
After a while, I opened my eyes and saw Fang Zhongfu just like me, drinking tea, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Lord Fang, how do you feel about my famous tea in Chaoyang Temple?"
Fang Zhongfu said with a smile: "This tea is smooth in color and fragrant in the spleen, it is really a good tea." ”
I smiled, but I heard him say again: "Today, Fang Mou is an eye-opener, and the tea art of Chaoyang Temple is too much more than a thousand yuan for me." ”
Hearing this, I don't feel that I have a good impression of this person, although this person is a little arrogant, but he is honest.
immediately smiled: "Where and where, the breeze is a thousand yuan, each has its own merits." Besides, the two cities are neighbors, as the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, my two families are brothers' countries, if we can coexist peacefully and support each other, you say that the Protoss, dare to provoke us?"
I have something to say, that is, the Protoss will not dare to provoke our two cities, and the other cities in the Fairyland Realm will naturally not be able to provoke us.
Fang Zhongfu was stunned when he heard this, thinking that he understood, and then said solemnly: "Lord Xu, I will convey this to my lord." ”
I smiled and thought to myself, this is also a breeze to help out.
But I heard Fang Zhongfu say again: "That's it, Lord Xu, although your carriage is good, it is too slow, I will take the first step and go to the main city to arrange the matters to welcome the lord." ”
I smiled and said, "Lord Fang, please take care of it." ”
After Fang Zhongfu left, Qingyu said with a smile: "You are pretending to be a tea artist in the human world, but you are trying to help Qingfeng City, don't you lose money?"
I smiled, but I didn't speak, and picked up the teacup and tasted the tea again.
To be honest, I still have a good impression of Qingfeng City, because in terms of luxury, Qingfeng may not be as good as a thousand yuan, but if it is about cultural inheritance and literary style, Qingfeng is a collection of human worlds, and has the characteristics of the three worlds.
What's even more valuable is that the people of Qingfeng love to learn, and there is a place like Tai Academy, which is really rare in the Three Realms where aliens are rampant and wars are constant.
Putting down the teacup, I remembered something and said to Pu Yunzhi: "Miss Pu, how can you know the tea art of the human world?"
Pu Yunzhi was a little arrogant, lowered his head and said, "This is taught by Sister Qing." ”
I had already seen the clue from Qingyu's proud face, and said with a smile: "Okay, follow your sister Qing, what you can learn is gone." ”
Pu Yunzhi still lowered his head and said: "Sister Qing said that His Royal Highness's wives are all capable and special, and at present, there is only one tea art, and no one has yet dabbled in it, so I asked me to learn tea art well, and I will pretend to be a ...... for His Highness in the future."
Speaking of this, he blushed a little and stopped.
I couldn't help but be stunned, but I saw Qingyu proudly say to Pu Yunzhi: "Pretend to be forced to use it for Your Highness." Our Royal Highness, although he is scheming and calculating, he likes to pretend to be a force from time to time, if you learn these skills well, he will naturally like you in the future. ”
I said to Qingyu speechlessly, "Aren't you going to do this?
Qingyu smiled and teased: "I've become a green housekeeper, do you still want me to accompany you to show up?"
I laughed and quipped, "Butler's mother-in-law, Butler's mother-in-law, Mi Min is not here, aren't you the housekeeper's wife?"
Qingyu was stunned, but said with some annoyance: "You can disrespect me, but you can't disrespect my god." ”
After that, he dropped the curtain and got out of the car.
Pu Yunzhi said with some trepidation: "Your Highness......"
I smiled and said, "It's nothing, you can sit and drink tea with peace of mind." ”
......
......
A few hours later, Chen Qinglong arrived at the carriage and whispered, "General, Qianyuan City has arrived." ”
I smiled and got out of the carriage, but I saw a row of honor guards standing at the tall city gate. Under the guard of honor, a man wearing a crown facing the sky, a purple cloud robe, and a bright yellow cloak was putting his hand in front of his eyebrows, looking at us on the official road.
A fast horse galloped towards us, but it was a great Han general wearing a golden helmet and wearing bright light armor.
When the Han general arrived in front of the carriage, Zhang Fei dismounted, one foot swept over the horse's head, and then the whole person flew off the horse's back, knelt on one knee on the ground, clasped his hands into fists and said: "Lord Xu, my lord was not very happy when he heard that the lord was driving, so he came to greet him in person." ”
I smiled and said, "There is General Lao, lead the way." ”
Following General Dahan to the gate of the city, I smiled and arched my hand, and was about to say hello to Fang Zhongfu next to me, but when I saw the city lord Li Humm, he walked forward quickly, held my hand and said, "I didn't sleep well last night, and I haven't found the reason." Before I got up this morning, I heard the magpie Aomei, and another Zhongfu came to report, saying that Brother Xu was coming, alas, there was really a distinguished guest coming. ”
These few words are in my clouds, this Li hum, it is like seeing a long-lost brother overnight, holding my arm, that affection, wave after wave.
Immediately smiled, broke free of his hand, but arched his hand and said: "The city lord is polite, today I borrowed a thousand yuan to meet the city lord in person, Xu is really scared, terrified, hahaha!"
Li Hum hummed but said with a smile: "Lord Xu is polite, a thousand yuan Qingfeng, this is a state of brothers, that Zhao Gongming Brother Zhao, but he didn't come to see me for a long time, brother, I blame him, alas, it is also busy in this city, otherwise, I would have gone to your Qingfeng City to find Brother Zhao a long time ago, hahaha." ”
At that moment, he grabbed my arm, told me some false feelings, talked about some things I didn't know, but led me to the city.
