Chapter 47: The Ancient City of Ergu (2)
After Martha's beautiful figure completely disappeared from his sight, Li Qiu sat back at the table and drank the fragrant tea in the cup.
It's just that this sweet tea was drunk into Li Qiu's mouth, but he only felt extremely bitter.
Li Qiu, who was in a bad mood, took a sip of tea foam, he stood up depressedly, and then left the main hall with a sigh and walked back to his room.
Li Qiu lay on the bed and took out the 365 cheats from his arms, he was ready to adjust his mentality and study the contents inside.
After all, for most of the previous half a month, Li Qiu hadn't been close to this old guy properly, and he was a little unfamiliar with the formulas recorded in it.
It's just that what Li Qiu didn't expect was that even if he studied cheats, something that once made him extremely focused, he had to have a good effect when he was in a good mood.
When Li Qiu saw the complicated formulas in the 365 cheats, a burst of irritability suddenly rose in his heart.
Well...... Why don't he wait for Martha to come back, and then let Martha help him pinch his legs and the like, and then study the mantra with peace of mind?
Never mind...... Forget it, I guess Martha is not so cooperative, let's talk about pinching legs, in case Martha pinchs it, hehe...... If that's the case, oh, maybe it wouldn't be bad.
Gan, Li Qiu hurriedly interrupted his thoughts, little brother, can you have a little bit of interest, you are now a mature cavernous body, Li Qiu warned himself to keep his sanity.
However, 365 cheats, Li Qiu is really in no mood to continue researching now.
Thinking of the outstanding brother in the ancient city of Er, Li Qiu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Brother Wu can be regarded as majestic for most of his life, and now he is not lying down and waiting for death, Li Qiu instantly feels that there is no need to be too tired in life.
Why live so hard, isn't it fragrant to be happy in time?
What is the task of the military department, the mastermind behind the hiring of the leopard clan to harm him, and the treacherous situation in the ancient city of Er, these are all his business.
For a moment, Li Qiu felt that he was a tool man, or an old task master, where there was bad luck, he would appear there, and as for the point of stepping, it was extremely accurate, and even through various adventures, he would automatically increase the difficulty of completing the task.
Damn, after the protagonist in someone else's book encounters the strange, he gets all kinds of rewards, and the next task is easy and smooth sailing.
Why did you get here in Liqiu, it's all ups and downs.
If it was a difficult task to recover financial power for the royal family in the ancient city of Laier before, now it has directly become a difficulty++ level.
As long as you are not a fool, you can imagine that after Brother Renjie hangs up, no matter who in the Wu family takes over the position of Taishou, it is absolutely impossible to give up the financial power of the ancient city.
The new official took office with three fires, and when the time came, the new successor Taishou would not take him, a young general of the empire, to make a sword, and Li Qiu would have to shout Amitabha, not to mention that he would take the initiative to rob others of the money in their pockets.
Thinking of the consequences of cutting off people's financial routes, Li Qiu instantly felt that his back was cold.
If someone comes to Li Qiu now and says that he wants to snatch all the money from the General's Mansion, it is estimated that Li Qiu will only smile coldly, and then let this friend who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead have a good taste, being sandwiched back and forth by green bees and bees, the ultimate experience is so refreshing.
It's useless to think more, let's wait until Martha comes back from probing news.
As the saying goes, if a person encounters a problem that cannot be solved, then it can be solved by taking a bath.
If it doesn't work once, then soak directly until you fall into a coma, anyway, there is everything in the dream, and no matter how much trouble you have, it will automatically disappear in minutes.
Li Qiu got up and sat up from the bed, he put the 365 cheats back away, and then hummed a little tune, walked briskly to the big pool in the backyard, and began to happily dive into the water to take a bath.
Sure enough, Li Qiu, who was physically and mentally relaxed in the pool, felt that he was slowly recovering his vitality.
He was even in the mood to admire the breath he couldn't hold back, the big bubbles that bubbled up in the pool.
Later, just as Li Qiu pondered whether to wait for Martha to come back and have dinner together, or whether he would finish dinner first and see if there was a chance to eat Martha, or let Martha eat him.
Just when Li Qiu fell into cranky thoughts again, a slave maid came to report, saying that the general of the Wu Mansion had just sent an invitation to Lord Wu Tianyou.
Li Qiu took the post and swept it at a glance, and the post was first full of nonsense that was not nutritious, praising him for having both ability and political integrity.
In the end, the theme was pointed out, saying that a reception banquet had been prepared in the house, and General Yangwei was invited to come on time.
Li Qiu looked at the handwriting on this post, it was very powerful, and it was estimated that he didn't know which person from the Wu family was, and asked him to come over in the name of Brother Renjie.
Li Qiu waited in the mansion for a while, but still didn't see Martha's figure.
In desperation, Li Qiu had no choice but to ask the slave maid to find several guards in the guest room.
"You all get ready, and come with me to the Taishou Mansion immediately. ”
Li Qiu saw the reluctant looks of several guard officers, so he was angry, if it wasn't for the lack of skilled manpower, just these idiots, Li Qiu would definitely send them to mining.
"General, you are simply a model worker of the empire, and you are going to talk to the people of the Wu family about business when you first came. ”
One of the guards asked, scratching his head and grimacing.
"Talk about it, I'm taking you to the reception banquet, you have all memorized it for me, no one is allowed to talk about any official business with the officials of Ergu City without my order. Li Qiu said solemnly.
"It turned out that I was going to a banquet, General, you said it earlier. ”
"Your Excellency, don't worry, you don't say anything, we won't talk to them about any official business.
"Yes, everyone comes out to have fun, and discussing official business is not to ruin their own fun. ”
Li Qiu didn't expect these guards to have such a high level of consciousness, it was really the prosperity of his mother's empire, and the burden of revitalizing the empire in the future would depend on these idiots.
Li Qiu went back to the room to change into a set of military uniforms that looked imposing, and then took a few guard officers and went straight to the Taishou Mansion.
My good man, is this too stubborn?
When Li Qiu and several guard officers arrived at the Taishou Mansion, several of them opened their mouths in shock.
To be reasonable, Li Qiu's cheap dad is a general of the empire, and even in Daliang City, the General's Mansion can be regarded as a super mansion covering an extremely wide area.
But now compared with Wu Tianyou's Taishou Mansion, he is simply a younger brother.
What's even more outrageous is that how this Taishou Mansion was built is a bit similar, Li Qiu thought about it for a long time, and almost exclaimed, the appearance of this Taishou Mansion looks very similar to the Sydney Grand Theatre on the Blue Star.
Li Qiu's whole person was about to crack, this Wu family's style was really chic, which was completely unexpected by him.
At this time, the stewards in charge of receiving the guests in the mansion hurried over and warmly welcomed Li Qiu into the mansion.
According to the stewards, the guests invited by their lord have basically arrived, and now everyone is eagerly waiting for the arrival of General Li.
Hmph, pull it down in anticipation, God knows if it's going to embarrass him, or wait to see his jokes again?
"General Yangwei, take me a move. ”。
Suddenly, a man's cold voice came from Li Qiu's front.
There was a cold glow lit up.
Lying down, Li Qiu broke out in a cold sweat.
Li Qiu, who was just about to cross the front yard, saw a man holding a curved bow standing not far away, at this time he was pulling the bowstring, the arrow on the string was facing Li Qiu's throat, and the sharp arrow tip was shining with dazzling light.
"Brother, don't be impulsive. ”
Li Qiu's voice did not fall, only listened to the sound of 'whoosh'.
Then two more bows rang out, and the man shot three arrows in quick succession.
Three feathered arrows shot out like meteors, and in the jaw-dropping eyes of everyone, the arrows were inserted into the stone slab in front of Li Qiu.
The arrow was only half a meter away from Li Qiu's toe at most.
The three feather arrows were lined up, and the tail of the arrow was still shaking, as if it was incense to Li Qiu.
Li Qiu was dumbfounded, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he had already had a large wet patch on his back.
Although before Li Qiu came, he had already thought that maybe some people from the Wu family would think of giving him a dismount, so as to deter him, a general from Daliang City.
But his father's daughter-in-law, you are so blatantly dismounted, you don't take Li Qiu, a general, as a human being.
Li Qiu doesn't want to lose face...... Do they think that he Li Qiu is a soft persimmon that can be kneaded by others?
"Hey, archery guy, stand still for me, I'll call someone to beat you up now." ”
Li Qiu Chiguo's threatened.
Li Qiu turned his head sideways, and was about to call the guards around him to go up and loosen the man's muscles and bones, so that he could taste the group beating old punches from the tough guys in Daliang City.
As a result, Li Qiu's face was black, and he never expected that the guards he brought were so embarrassing.
These uncompetitive guys are inferior to Li Qiu, and their faces are as earthy as they are, and they are almost so scared that they want to pee in their pants.
"It turns out that this is General Yangwei's ability, and it really deserves its name. ”
The burly man sneered at Li Qiu.
Li Qiu sacrificed his ancestral skill, took a magnificent step back, retreated behind the guards, and then prepared to start attacking people on the line.
Unexpectedly, the man raised his eyebrows, glanced at Li Qiu disdainfully, let out a sneer, and directly broke the longbow in his hand and fell to the ground.
"Take this broken bow as a gift to General Yangwei. ”
As soon as the man finished speaking, he turned away without looking back.
Okay, you cowhide, you'll pretend to be thirteen.
Boy, don't fall into my hands if you have the ability in the future, Li Qiu secretly swore that sooner or later he would have to get this face back.
"I'm scared to death, I'm scared to death, General, are you okay. ”
"This kind of barbarian is just vulgar. ”
"That's right, there is no beauty in those who only know brute force. ”
Seeing the man walking away, several of the guards began to become active again.
"It's really ...... to disturb the general. ”
The stewards who led the way didn't know how to get to the round.
Li Qiu looked at them with a submissive look, and probably knew in his heart that the previous archery man had a very high status in the Wu family, otherwise he would never dare to embarrass him so blatantly in front of the stewards.
"Shut up and keep leading your way. ”
As long as he is not blind, he can see how ugly Li Qiu's face is.
Several servants of the Wu Mansion stepped forward quickly with embarrassed faces amid the shouting and scolding of the steward, and pulled out the arrows inserted in the stone slabs with great force.
Li Qiu pretended to be angry in his belly and followed the stewards to the banquet hall.
At this time, hundreds of people gathered in the banquet hall, which was very lively, and everyone saw Li Qiu coming, and they all respectfully saluted the imperial general.
Sure enough, it was the officials of the ancient city of Ergu who came to the road.
Li Qiu's mood barely recovered a little bit in the praise of this gang.
