Chapter 29: The Tea House

Pingyuan City is located in the southwest of the Yuema Plain, which is the capital of the barbarians, and even during the war years, it is still lively here. The Qingshui River flows through the Muir steppe around the city of Pingyuan, forming a natural barrier, the river water is clear and cold, formed by the melting of the distant snow-capped mountains, and various springs are also integrated into it, flowing all year round. Due to the difference in land, the crops like the Great Liang Country can not be planted here, the people here are mainly grazing, the people are good at riding and shooting, advocating force, the people are fierce, and the world-famous tiger and leopard riding is formed here.

In the magnificent palace, there was a strong smell of herbs everywhere, and King Wu of Wei was lying on the brocade bed, and the young maidservant was carefully feeding the decoction. Around the bed, there are some cooling ice cubes.

Win is already very old, his hair and beard are all white, his face is full of wrinkles, and his eyes have become blurred. His eldest son, Ying Ziang, stood in front of the bed, reporting on the battle situation in front of him. Zi Zhen sent a book and newspaper, and it was an urgent report urging grain and grass, Zi Zhen issued a war letter to Youran many times, but Youran has not been able to hold on. Now that we have run out of grain and grass, all the cattle and sheep that can be slaughtered have been allocated, and the rest are breeding sheep......"

Win did not give up and raised his hand with difficulty, stopping his words. "They're trying to bring us down! Tell your brother that he should be patient with the matter of food and grass. Has the man who went to borrow food come back?"

"It's all back. There was a hint of hesitation on Ying Ziang's face.

"Tell me! Your father is not so unbearable. ”

"They all avoid our messengers, and I don't think they want to get involved in the current situation!"

Win coughed violently, and there was no trace of blood on his pale face. The young maidservant hurriedly rubbed his back gently. "These old foxes. After coughing, he looked unusually weak and tired, and waved his hand weakly, and the maidservant gently laid his body flat, and put a soft pillow behind his back.

"You've been busy all day, go back and have a good rest, there's still a long way to go. You are my unwinnable son, and you must fight like a warrior, and when you brothers conquer the whole of Hanyu, those literati and writers will sing the praises of you, just as they did to their emperors. Win couldn't give up, and closed his cloudy eyes tiredly.

"The child knows, the father takes care of his health, and the child retires. ”

Andrew walked on the streets of Pingyuan City, it was not the same as he thought, and not many people noticed him, the noisy street market was full of all kinds of sounds, a signboard attracted his attention, and the four big characters of "Cat Ear Tea House" were vigorous and powerful.

Although Xiao Er, who welcomed the guests, was a little surprised, but soon a warm smile appeared again. Andrew chose a window seat on the second floor, which had a great view and a clear view of the palace in the distance.

The tea has been brewed, the strong fragrance of tea wafts in the air, Xiao Er put the teapot and teacup in place and asked, "Is you alone?" Andrew nodded, Xiao Er smiled slightly, "You use it slowly, just tell me something!"

Xiao Er came quickly, and walked fast, such a tea shop is rare in the whole Pingyuan City, and there are not many guests here, Andrew carefully looked at this tea shop, the decoration is very elegant, completely imitating the style of Da Liangguo, simple but simple.

He took a sip of tea, and the fragrance of cat ear tea lingered in his throat for a long time, and he nodded. "Good tea!"

"The tea here is all transported from the cliff city, so it is naturally a good tea. A neatly dressed tea guest next to him took over his words, "It's a pity that the people here are not very interested in tea, and only some nobles and scholars can judge some tastes, I don't know what kind of people your Excellency belongs to?"

Andrew smiled at the man, "It's a pity that I'm not the two types of people you said, presumably friends must be one of them." ”

The man smiled slightly, showing his neat teeth. "I'm just a passerby, not a barbarian, and my love for tea is innate. Our chamber of commerce and people all over the world do business, no matter where I am, I want to drink a bowl of good tea, the cat ear tea here is the best fried, the fragrance of the tea has been retained, the tea is good, and the craftsmanship is also a must. ”

"I'm really ashamed, I don't know much about the tea ceremony, and I just walked up and rested. ”

"The cliff city can grow good cat ear tea, that is the hometown of your dwarf clan, but unfortunately now the cliff city is in the hands of the barbarians, and the friend is now in Pingyuan City, it can't be accidental." ”

Andrew fell silent, he smelled the aroma of tea in the bowl, and said no more, the cliff city was like a mountain pressing on his heart, lingering. The air also became oppressive.

"You know, our Chamber of Commerce is never in a fight, and we're always only concerned about our purse strings. The man watched the changing look on Andrew's face and broke the silence. "Anyone who stands in the way of us making money is our enemy, and so far, no one can refuse to cooperate with us, at least no one can afford our price. ”

Andrew looked at him with a complicated expression. "I guess we don't have anything to work with, don't we?"

The man smiled awkwardly with a resolute face, and said: "Our biggest advantage is to explore future opportunities, we will definitely have cooperation, it will not be too far, if you have anything good, go to Moon City, the price there must be the fairest!"

The man brought the bowl and the teapot, sat down in front of Andrew, and said, "Today's tea money is mine, so I should make a friend." He leaned closer to Andrew, his voice quieter. "But my guess is that this barbarian might be in chaos lately. ”

Andrew's face darkened, "You can't talk nonsense. ”

The man lowered his voice and continued: "Win does not give up a wise life, but he is confused in the matter of the heir, An Changli, his eldest son Ying Zi Ang should inherit the throne, but Win does not give up is obviously not very satisfied with this cowardly eldest son, it is often rumored that he wants to set up the second son Ying Zi Zhen as the king, after the soul devouring gun selected the second son Ying Zi Zhen, the rumors of winning or not giving up his life have been boiling for a while, and the life of Ying Bu has come to an end, and the heir has not been established until now, and the two forces of the barbarian race have begun to compete in secret. ”

Andrew looked at him, obviously he had heard a lot about these things, and he asked suspiciously: "If you don't give up and don't die, these things don't mean anything." ”

The man's face was extremely ugly, and he looked at Andrew like a monster. "You're pretending to be confused, aren't you? My feeling is that I really don't dare to set up an heir now, and under the pressure of war, all people can put aside contradictions and always be external. But as you should have seen, there is no immediate possibility that the war will end, and this kind of secret fighting has begun to spread again. No matter who is appointed as the heir, a tragic infighting cannot be avoided. ”

Andrew didn't say anything, because there was a heavy footstep on the staircase.
