Chapter Eighty-Four: Swinging the Hoe
As long as the hoe is swung well, there is no corner and no corner is not dug down - lie!!
The charcoal fire burned quietly and hotly, and a layer of white water vapor floated from the small stove, and inside the stove was a dark green and slightly cloudy juice, which kept changing colors with the tumbling of the water. Shen Luoyan was obviously a master of the tea ceremony, and Shi Qingyi sat opposite her, watching the pretty military master skillfully scoop the tea soup into the tea bowl, and then hand it to himself. "Please!" Shen Luoyan's tone was gentle as treating the little sister next door, and then, she also scooped a bowl of tea juice for herself, shook it evenly in her hand, and waited until the temperature of the tea dropped to just right, picked up the tea bowl and tasted it carefully.
Shi Qingyi sat opposite her, paying attention to her from the beginning, and she could see it clearly. Although on the small table of the tea, fresh ginger powder and green salt and other condiments are neatly placed, Shen Luoyan's tea is not added at all, so he directly puts the bitter dark green tea juice into his mouth and tastes the taste. Such a different way of tasting tea than ordinary people, Shen Luoyan is really not an ordinary woman, Shi Qingyi thought in his heart, picked up the same original tea soup juice without adding any condiments in his hand, and drank it all.
It was an extreme bitter taste, which reminded Shi Qingyi of the coffee brewed directly without sugar in his previous life, as long as he tasted it once, he would never forget it, so he needed to add sugar to neutralize it, which was similar to the tea juice at this time that needed to be neutralized with salt and other auxiliary materials. But then again, the way of making tea is very similar to the steaming method used to make coffee in the first place.
"Hehe, my sister's arrogance is really a woman's eyebrows, and even such a tea soup can be drunk without fear, but it makes my sister ashamed?" Shen Luoyan, who was savoring the bitter taste, saw Shi Qingyi's actions in her eyes, she was surprised by Shi Qingyi's actions, and after seeing Shi Qingyi's completely unchanged face, she also admired Shi Qingyi's perseverance, after all, that kind of bitterness is not something that ordinary people can bear. Shi Qingyi smiled lightly: "It's my sister who is too modest, and Xiaoyun can muster up courage because she saw her sister's actions, if it weren't for my sister's guidance, Xiaoyun wouldn't have had the courage to dare to give it a try." ”
Shen Luoyan looked at Shi Qingyi quietly, but Shi Qingyi didn't seem to care, and, without leaving a trace, she gently put down the tea bowl in her hand. Silently broke this uneasy atmosphere, and suddenly, Shen Luoyan showed a smiling expression: "My sister is deeply hidden, and my sister admires it very much." ”
She paused for a moment, and then there was a hint of fierceness in her eyes: "Today, those who can dominate the world are the first to recommend Mi Gong." Although Li Yuan has Taiyuan, and now he is in Guanzhong, he is indecisive and timid like a mouse, and he is by no means a person who does big things, although his sister is also a person in Li Valve, but after all, he is only a side background, and his talent is difficult to display. My sister might as well be put into the account of the secret duke, how about you and my sisters working together for the secret duke, the secret duke has always been a corporal, if the younger sister can be put into the account of the secret duke, she will definitely not be wronged by her own talents, presumably the sister herself is not willing to look at her empty ability and can not show it! ”
is not doing such useless work as continuing to test Shi Qingyi, Shen Luoyan chose to have a showdown with Shi Qingyi directly, although she also knows that the identity of Li Valve's children is also very likely to be forged, but so what, Shen Luoyan can't see through the details of this woman, since this is the case, then woo her at any cost, you know, bustling, all for profit, all for fame, for Li Valve, as a pawn crossing the river, where is the wealth and glory of becoming a guest of the Wagang Army, for Shen Luoyan's conditions, Many people who pride themselves on their talents will be tempted. However, to Shen Luoyan's disappointment, although Shi Qingyi also showed a slightly thoughtful expression, but soon, she regained her indifferent appearance, and then, slapping the table with her hand, chanted softly:
"Fifty years of life."
"Compared with the sky, it is like a dream and a fantasy."
"He who once gained life, how can he be immortal."
The singing voice is clear and mournful, as if with strange magic, Shen Luoyan was also addicted to it for a while, fortunately, the singing was very short, and soon after Shi Qingyi spit out the last syllable, Shen Luoyan also quickly sobered up. When her eyes focused on Shi Qingyi's body again, the sense of vigilance in her eyes became even stronger.
"My sister's singing voice is not like an ordinary sound, I'm afraid that only a few people in the world can catch up!" Shen Luoyan said: "It's just that the meaning of the lyrics and songs has a negative meaning of escaping the world, what does my sister mean by singing this song in front of my sister?" After a slight pause, Shen Luoyan's tone became intense: "You must know that it is precisely because of the troubled times that my generation has to forge ahead and seek more, even if it is not for myself, we must also take care of all the people in the world, how can I give up and sit still." ”
Facing Shen Luoyan's blazing gaze, Shi Qingyi lowered his eyes slightly, "Is this how my sister views this ballad?" She raised her head, looked back at Shen Luoyan's gaze, and then laughed out loud: "Hehehe! ”
"As early as when Xiaoyun didn't arrive in Wagang, I had heard that my sister was good at watching the clouds and looking at qi." Shi Qingyi said, "It is said that when Liu Bang was stationed in Xianyang, there was a warlock who was proficient in the art of looking at qi to say Xiang Yu, and the clouds in the sky above Pei Gong's garrison were either dragon shapes or tiger potentials, showing that Liu Bang was about to achieve the foundation of the emperor. This is making things difficult for Shen Luoyan, and Shen Luoyan's answer did not surprise Shi Qingyi: "When I say it, I want to talk about it, but it has always been ethereal and can't be taken seriously, not to mention that my sister is shallow in learning, and she has only learned the skin, which is not worth mentioning......" "I'm afraid that my sister's hope technique didn't see that Li Mi was the so-called master of destiny, so I would talk about him left and right, and deliberately avoid my little sister's question!" As soon as Shi Qingyi's words came out, Shen Luoyan was suddenly shocked.
"I once heard that the great Confucian Wang Tong once approved Li Mi's life, saying that he was talented but not courageous, and he was not destined to be the emperor's talent. Observing what he has done recently, we can also see this, in the Central Plains, the four battles of the land and the surrounding Sui army to fight to the death, but do not occupy the empty and easy to defend Guanzhong land, the result in vain Guanzhong this excellent place to my uncle, and so on to the uncle completely mastered Guanzhong, according to the relevant Zhongzhong, Taiyuan, Li Valve's strength will be more than the Wagang army at this time, at that time, even if Li Mi laid Luoyang, the Central Plains four wars, the south of Du Fuwei Tiger Jianghuai, Dou Jiande in the north also gradually has the tendency to unify Hebei. Three sides are enemies, even if Li Mi has the ability of Wu Qi and Sun Wu, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be immune to defeat, not to mention, the prestige of the Wagang Army at this time is completely supported by the myth of Li Mi's invincibility, once Li Mi and Luoyang lose the war, I am afraid that the interior of the Wagang Army will be scattered in advance, hum, there are so many hidden dangers, Li Mi is still carried away by the situation of the Wagang Army at this time, and he is stubborn and does not listen to others, and it is a matter of time before he fails. ”
Shi Qingyi told the story, but Shen Luoyan was listening to it restlessly, indeed, no one knows better than her about the situation of the Wagang Army at this time, and the shape is much stricter than what Shi Qingyi said, however, other internal hidden dangers are nothing, but Li Mi is becoming more and more proud, not humbly listening to the opinions of others, but it is an extremely strict thing, Li Mi is blind and arrogant, and he can't see the problems of the Wagang Army at this time, Even if Shen Luoyan has extraordinary intelligence, he is helpless, and can only watch the cracks inside Wagang slowly expand bit by bit.
However, things may not be as bad as they imagined, Shen Luoyanxin said, as long as we can continue to win undefeated, then these problems will never be exposed. Mi Gong, on the other hand, will keep this myth alive. Thinking of this, Shen Luoyan finally stabilized her mind again, she looked at Shi Qingyi again, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Indeed, as you said, Mi Gong is not the Qi of the True Dragon Heaven." Shen Luoyan said to Shi Qingyi, "However, it is not far off, the dragon gives birth to nine sons, and the cloud qi of the secret prince is exactly the elephant, coupled with the assistance of many resourceful people in the Wagang army, it may not be impossible to turn into a dragon in one day." On the contrary, it is Li Yuan! Hum! Shen Luoyan snorted from her nose, showing her disdain, "It's just that this person is indecisive, he is actually cowardly, he knows that the palace maid in Jinyang Palace is a faint woman, but she still forcibly occupies it, and finally rebels against Sui because she is afraid of the punishment of the faint king, which is really despised by the heroes of the world." ”
Although Shi Qingyi did not participate in the matter of Jinyang's army, he also knew a little about it, and it was clearly Li Shimin and Li Yuan's old friends who came together. But this kind of thing is really easy to do, and it is hard to say, but when it reached the Wagang Army in Henan, it has completely changed its taste. Shi Qingyi didn't say anything to refute Shen Luoyan's words, she just looked at Qiao Junshi with a smile on her face, and said calmly: "So, have you seen my uncle?" ”
Li Yuan, of course, Shen Luoyan has never seen it, otherwise she would not have said those hearsay things to Shi Qingyi, Shi Qingyi had already expected it, so she didn't wait for Shen Luoyan to speak, and said to herself: "To be able to kill a hero from the troubled times, what is needed is a collective strength, unfortunately, although Li Mi is prosperous, he is only alone, to be honest, he is far from catching up with the uncle." Although Uncle has a lot of shortcomings, there is no doubt that none of those shortcomings are very strict enough to be fatal, and the strength of our Li Valve can make up for the remaining shortcomings of Uncle Wang, so the probability of Uncle being able to succeed is still very high. Shi Qingyi's eyes looked at the beauty opposite, and Shen Luoyan, the pretty military master: "The power of the gate valve is not something that can be underestimated. ”
In response to Shi Qingyi's words, Shen Luoyan looked at him with disdain. "That's right," Shi Qingyi sighed and said faintly: "After all, the world is impermanent, and the future is never certain. Besides, the troubled times may last for a very long time, maybe even if we are all dead, this troubled times have not ended! The tone was full of gloom, but it was not only for the troubled times of the present, but also for all the turmoil in the past and in the future.
Throughout the thousands of years of history of Chinese civilization, every troubled times, without going through a long period of time, will not be re-settled, the end of the Qin Dynasty, the end of the Sui Dynasty is relatively short, and it has taken more than ten years to reunify, the Han Gaozu Liu Bang and a four-wheeled horse can not be found, you can imagine how strict the disaster brought by the turmoil at that time was. At the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, it was needless to say.
The chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, the war lasted for nearly a hundred years, until the fall of the Three Kingdoms, the establishment of the Jin Dynasty by the Sima family was not over, however, the Jin Dynasty was a short-lived dynasty, and soon the turmoil broke out again, the rebellion of the eight kings, the chaos of the five nonsense, unveiled a desperate struggle between human nature and animal nature, Liu Yuan, Shi Le, Ran Rou, Murong Chui, Fu Jian, Tuoba Jue, Tuoba Shou, these heroes who left their names in that period of endless killing are bloody corpses all over the wilderness.
Subsequently, it was still a troubled era, the confrontation between the north and the south lasted for more than 100 years, the southern dynasty had four dynastic changes, each time it was a bloody storm, and the northern dynasty also experienced the turmoil such as the northern uprising, and finally the dynasty was divided into two, attacking each other, until decades later, this world was unified again in the hands of Yang Jian, a relative who usurped the throne of a certain dynasty at that time, and later Emperor Wen of Sui.
It's just that the world is impermanent, and only 30 years later, now the world is another chaotic season......
"So, since my sister has decided to assist Li Mi, then my little sister has no choice but to say this, Li Mi is not the material that can become the Son of Heaven, even if this world is not obtained by my Li family after all, it will definitely not belong to Pushan Gong, in addition, the world is still growing, maybe the British Lord who can really unify the world in the future is still in infancy at this time, and it is unknown?" In the end, Shi Qingyi said the above to Shen Luoyan, and then she began to serve tea to the guests.
In all fairness, Shen Luoyan is indeed a talented and rare talent, in fact, Shi Qingyi wanted to recruit her for the Li family, but seeing her stubborn appearance, Shi Qingyi had to give up. That's too hard. But fortunately, this pretty military master will eventually marry Xu Shiji, and Xu Shiji will eventually fall to the Li family. That's right, and the rest is just a matter of time.
