Mao's ear tea shop, the air seems to be filled with a strong fragrance of tea, there are not many people who like to drink tea in Pingyuan City, not as noisy as the tea shop elsewhere, but there is a kind of comfortable tranquility, so it has become a place where dignitaries and nobles gather.

The staircase was heavy but slow, indicating that the person was obese, and the staircase steps made a squeaky sound under his stepping.

Xiao'er walked in front attentively, "A few masters, please take a seat, the best cat ear tea has been made for you!" Xiao Er wiped the other window seat brightly, "Everyone, the tea will come soon." The guests sat down and went downstairs.

Three people, a fat man in his fifties, with short clothes and narrow sleeves, his face was large and round, his neck could not be seen, and his hair was tied in many small braids and draped behind his head, showing gray marks. The other two are in their thirties, and their fancy clothes are full of all kinds of exquisite ornaments, and they are dressed as aristocratic sons.

When the three of them saw Andrew, they were a little surprised, and after seeing the Chamber of Commerce badge embroidered on the brocade robe of the person opposite Andrew, their eyes became quiet. These chamber of commerce people always have infinite miracles, and it is not surprising that they do anything, after all, they are members of the chamber of commerce, and they control the entire Hanndo money bag.

After a while, Xiao'er placed tea sets, trays, and various melon and fruit cakes on the table, "Use slowly." Xiao Er bowed down and walked away quickly.

In the afternoon, the warm sunlight penetrated the window, gently poured down, and the spots fell on the tea set on the table of the three people, glowing with a faint light, a young man respectfully poured the tea into the fat man's bowl, and immediately a white mist rose into the air, and a tea fragrance spread in the air along the white mist.

The fat man picked up the bowl, took a sip, savored it, and nodded. "Only the tea here can be so pure. ”

The young man who poured the tea smiled complimentarily and said, "Master Ma, if you say it's good, it must be good tea." ”

The fat man rolled his eyes over him, and his face looked disdainful. "You two invite the old man over, it won't just be tea. He stretched out, his round belly looking like it was about to break through his shirt.

The young man pouring tea squinted at Andrew, lowered his voice, and said: "This time, the eldest son Ying Zi'ang came to urge the collection of grain and grass again, Master Ma, you know, our cattle and sheep have already been slaughtered, and the food hoarded at home is only afraid that they will not even survive this winter, but the eldest son spoke, even if he robs our two families, we have to scrape together five hundred loads of grain, which is to force our two families to death." You charged with the king, crawled out of the pile of dead people, you help me tell me that we really have no food. ”

The other person also whispered: "Yes, Master Ma, we don't dare not take out anything that can be eaten." The eldest son asked us to gather these 500 loads of grain and grass within ten days, otherwise we will be imprisoned, doesn't this cost us the lives of our two families. An anxious look spread across his face.

Their voices were low, but the tea shop was quiet, and even across a few tables, Andrew could hear them clearly. The young man from the chamber of commerce smiled and looked at the dwarf in front of him, and filled the tea of the two of them again.

The fat man didn't seem to care about the other two, he opened a pair of dead fish eyes, glared at the two young offspring fiercely, and said: "It's the time of the Great War, all the people have to support the front line, even the old man volunteered to donate a thousand quintals, and you donated five hundred quintals just to do your duty, when you share the spoils, don't think that the old man didn't see it, how many women did you resist entering the house? How many pearl treasures were taken back to your own home?" The fat man tried his best to control his emotions, and his voice slowly eased. "Take out some of the guys in the house, and get together the food and grass first, this war still has to be fought. ”

The two young men looked at each other and took a gentle sip of cat ear tea. "Since Ma Ye has already said so, our two juniors have nothing to say, so we will go back to selling things. With that, he stood up and had the intention of leaving.

"Sit down. The fat man gently lowered the bowl in his hand, and did not look at them with his eyes. "I heard that the king's health is worse, have you heard anything?"

The young man standing by the window finished the fat man's bowl, sat down, and said, "The king is getting older, and his health will naturally be worse, do you need to hear about this?"

"Confused, this is the most important thing, you don't want to think about it, in case one day the king ......" The fat man coughed lightly and sat up straight. "Our future is in the hands of the next king, and it's time to think about the future. ”

"Then what are Ma Ye's plans? We can't be wrong to follow Ma Ye's decision. The young man pouring the tea had a heavy face.

"What can I plan, an outdated veteran, the most important thing now is to understand the king's mind, if you are not careful, the whole country will be in chaos immediately!" The fat man seemed to tell them and to himself, and the fat face was rippling with a confused color. "Two princesses, two forces, two princes, one position, it's terrible to think about. ”

Andrew didn't feel the need to listen anymore, and he smiled at the young man in the chamber of commerce, "There will be a meeting later." "Stood up. The person on the other side bowed his hand to him, "I'll send you down." He politely made a gesture of asking for the first place.

At the door of the teahouse stood some warriors with sabers at their waists, apparently the followers of the nobles upstairs. Andrew strode out, and the Chamber of Commerce paid the bill and caught up. "Friend, contemptible Xie Fei, one day my friend thinks of me, and he can come to Moon City to find me at any time. When Xie Fei laughs, he can always make people feel happy, his well-defined face always has a light smile that fascinates women, a white robe, embroidered with auspicious patterns and piping swaying lightly in the wind, gentle and elegant, admittedly a beautiful man.

"Xie Fei, I remember. A smile appeared on Andrew's delicate face, and he turned and walked away, disappearing at the end of the street in a moment.

Andrew stood in front of the door of the royal palace, he was shocked by the magnificent palace in front of him, the heavy bluestone paved ground, shining with warm brilliance in the sunlight, and the dragon head carved on the cornices looked up in all directions, as if it meant to take off. Outside the vermilion palace gate stood heavily armed warriors, their spears sharp, with an insurmountable aura of slaughter.

Andrew looked up at the sky, and the sun was setting, and the sky was full of colorful clouds. He suddenly became nervous in his heart, not knowing what kind of person that Wei Wu Wang would be if he didn't give up, and whether the next thing would go well, he was confused in his heart, and a sense of loneliness instantly enveloped him.
