Chapter 38 Tiger Talisman

When Qi Lu had just returned to his mansion, someone reported that Mrs. Liu had come to visit.

Qi Lu Yanggang's brows furrowed, and he opened the door of the house where he hadn't come back for a long time, although there were no more people here, only one of his cousins had already married here, and the other clansmen were estimated to be dead and gone, and they had been away for too long.

Although the servants were cleaning all the time, he felt that there was still a thick layer of dust on the things.

"Take him to the main hall." He didn't even look up and said, "Tell him to wait a minute, and I'll be there later." ”

He doesn't want to be disturbed when he reminisces about the past.

But it doesn't matter if he is disturbed, he can just think that Mrs. Liu, who has never crossed paths with him before, suddenly came to visit.

He is a rough man who learns martial arts, but he only knows a little about the art of war, and he doesn't know how to intrigue in the officialdom, and even if he will, he will be wiped out in the nearly twenty years of conquest.

He stayed in his room for a pillar of incense or so before coming to the main hall, and the servants beside him had already poured a slow cup of tea for Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Liu did not speak, and drank the slightly bitter tea one by one, and when he came, he had already drunk more than half of it.

"Mrs. Liu, don't come unharmed." Qi Lu had a particularly systematic greeting with him, but the expression on his face did not look unharmed at all.

This face fully interprets the meaning of "don't disturb me if you have nothing to do".

"Don't come unharmed, don't come unharmed." Mrs. Liu touched her beard, "I can't imagine that after twenty years, you, I will be old." ”

Nonsense, is it still young after twenty years, is your nickname Golden Partner?

"yes." Qi Lu also played an official tone, he was a cheerful person, and he didn't like to talk to others about important things for a long time, so he wanted to know why Mrs. Liu was here.

Obviously, Mrs. Liu didn't want to say the point hastily, he also looked around and said, "The general's house hasn't been renovated for a long time, and the walls have been yellowed, so it's better to rebuild it." ”

Qi Lu bowed: "It's okay, it's okay to live with people, Mrs. Liu, you have nothing to do......"

"I'm relatively empty, and I don't have anything to do." Mrs. Liu said, "You can come to my mansion to have fun when you have time." ”

In fact, Qi Lu wanted to say that there is nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, what are you doing today.

Mrs. Liu didn't give him face and directly interrupted him.

"No, it might be busy." He refused.

The corners of Mrs. Liu's mouth rose slightly, and the opportunity finally came.

"How could it be, how could it be busy." Mrs. Liu's expression was very exaggerated, a little unreal, and he knew early on that it was better to pretend to be surprised: "I heard that the emperor has given you an idle prince, and the fief is very small, so it is basically empty." ”

Qi Lu didn't know what his expression was, he was a little paralyzed, and now he was paralyzed even more strangely, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"I also heard that during the banquet tonight, the emperor may ask for a tiger talisman like you......" Mrs. Liu didn't say anything behind, Qi Lu was not stupid, he also understood what the meaning of the tiger talisman was taken back, the tiger talisman was a token to mobilize his army, and the soldiers under his command did not recognize the talisman or not, and the tiger talisman was not necessarily in whose hands.

He was lost in thought, his hand was now pinching a brown jade pendant hanging from his belt, this was the famous black jade, legend has it that there were only nine pieces in the world, and one of them was the tiger talisman in his hand.

If you really want to take his tiger talisman......

He had to think again.

"It's not early, I should leave too, I'll wait for you in the Taifu Mansion in the early hours of tonight." Mrs. Liu didn't ask Qi Lu if he agreed, he left with a smile, he guessed that Qi Lu was sure that Qi Lu was still staring at the cup that Taifu was drinking in front of him, and he had been thinking about this matter in his mind.

……………………

In the evening, knowing that Qi Lu didn't like pomp, Mo Qingqing changed the form of the banquet and moved the venue to the pavilion on the edge of Cuiyuan Lake by the way.

It's like sleeping.

But she still cheered up and waited for the arrival of all the Qi Lu generals, and there were only three people who came to the banquet this time: Mo Qingqing, her, and Mrs. Xie.

Looking at the dishes on the table, she wondered if she had come a little early.

"Autumn Moon." Mo Qingqing stood beside her and whispered, "What time is it?" "She doesn't have the ability to guess the time by looking at the weather.

"It's the middle of the hour." Qiu Yue looked at the sky that had just fallen a little dark.

Mo Qingqing nodded, the sun basically sets early in winter.

The reason why Mo Qingqing came so early was to show her respect for Qi Lu's people.

About half an hour later, Mrs. Xie and Qi Lu arrived at the same time, and after the two of them took their seats, they poured them full of wine, and the golden cup with the clarified liquor was also good-looking.

"General Qi Lu, I've worked hard, I want to toast you." Mo Qingqing raised her wine glass, touched the glass with him, and drank it in one gulp, maybe she drank too quickly, her face was slightly flushed, and her throat felt spicy.

What the hell is this, so spicy.

Mo Qingqing regretted that he had taken good wine, but he didn't expect good wine to be so unpalatable.

This girl. Mrs. Xie also drank the wine in his quilt, it was too hard, and he didn't know how to get drunk after drinking a little, and he had to drink it one by one.

"Your Majesty." Qi Lu only took a slight sip.

Mo Qingqing was ashamed, he was also stupid, how should he drink a big glass of wine at the beginning?

"Does the general think it's better to be in the Central Plains in the future or still go to the frontier?"

Qi Lu's voice was calm: "The minister thinks that the minister should stay in the Central Plains, after all, the minister is also a little old." ”

Forty years old is still a wolf-like age in modern times, but in ancient times, when the ancients were in their forties, you began to age.

Mo Qingqing didn't say much: "I have also discussed with Taifu Xie, so I will make you a prince, and the fief is near Qishui in the north." ”

"Your Majesty." Qi Lu thought, sure enough, it was the same as what Mrs. Liu said.

"Still." Mo Qingqing banged on the table and said hesitantly: "Then the matter of military power ......"

Originally, Qi Lu was willing to hand over the military power, but after listening to Mrs. Liu's words, he had to think twice, he took out the tiger talisman made of black jade from his pocket and put it on the table, the black jade reflected the moonlight in the sky, Mo Qingqing had never seen the tiger talisman, and looked carefully, there should be something wrong with the wood, right?

"Your Majesty, the minister wants to ......," Qi Lu said......

To be continued......
