"What?"

Liu Qingyuan was very shocked, and only after a long time did he say, "Since your master and apprentice have calculated that this battle will be lost, why don't you explain it to Wang Jiedu?" ”

Yang Yun shook his head: "Defeat before the war has started, this is to disturb the morale of the army." The art of being able to make a difference in the military is taboo, and anyone who mentions this kind of thing will touch the head, and once it fails, the sin will fall on whoever it is. ”

"Oh."

Liu Qingyuan thought about it carefully, and Yang Yun's words sounded reasonable.

Yang Yun continued: "Of course, the family teacher will not evade his responsibility, he will go to the battlefield to cast all kinds of spells, and do his best to help the Tang Dynasty win, but since the heavens have already warned him, he can't help but take precautions and consider the inheritance of the master......

"The tutor told me to leave Yizhou as soon as possible, so that even if one of them was in trouble, I could still protect the mantle of the teacher. But I'm a monk, and I'm so old, how easy is it to leave Shu alone? ”

Liu Qingyuan's eyes were full of sympathy, and he nodded: "I thought that you masters and apprentices were all swaggering and deceitful warlocks, but now it seems that your masters and apprentices are very responsible, especially your master Wuzun Dao Chang, knowing that this battle is auspicious, and he still went to the front line in person...... He asked you to leave Chengdu, a place of right and wrong, for your good. ”

Yang Yun said: "So, Miss Liu agreed to exchange conditions? ”

Liu Qingyuan pursed her lips and looked at Yang Yun with suspicious eyes: "Why does this girl believe you?" ”

Yang Yun said with a smile: "What I just said, Miss had better not spread the word, otherwise no one can afford this charge of disturbing the morale of the army...... Miss doesn't need to believe me, this is a transaction, Miss sent someone to cover me out of Shu, and I handed Miss the recipe for sour soup and the method of making ice, which was mutually beneficial. ”

"Well...... this"

Liu Qingyuan hesitated, the temptation of iced sour soup was too great for her, and she only needed to help Yang Yun leave Shudi, which didn't sound too difficult.

But helping Yang Yun leave also involves the Jiannan Dao Jiedu envoy, and she feels that the stakes are very important, and she is likely to set herself on fire.

"You give me the formula, and I'll help you get out when you get back."

Liu Qingyuan's eyes rolled and she began to play cautiously.

Yang Yun shook his head: "Miss Liu should know very well that after dawn, Wang Jiedu's envoy will leave for the front line in Yazhou, and Chengdu will also be under martial law because of the start of the war. ”

Liu Qingyuan said angrily: "Since you know that martial law is going to be imposed in the city, let me help you?" ”

Yang Yun said: "Wang Jiedu envoy went on an expedition, in order to avoid being known by the secret agents sent by Tubo, he never announced it to the public, and the people didn't know anything about it, so there should be no martial law in the next day or two, but it is impossible for the Liu family not to know about martial law, and they will definitely send a caravan as soon as possible, which is why I came to invite him." ”

Liu Qingyuan was very unhappy and thought: "Why does he understand my family's affairs better than me?" It seems that there are really caravans going out in the past two days, so it is because of this ......"

Yang Yun saw Liu Qingyuan's embarrassed face, and said with a smile: "If Miss Liu refuses to help, this matter will be stopped, and tonight will be treated as if you have never seen me...... I booked a room at the Shop Inn and took my leave. ”

After Yang Yun finished speaking, he wanted to turn around and leave.

Liu Qingyuan was still thinking about it carefully, but when she saw that Yang Yun had the intention of giving up, she didn't have time to think about it, so she hurriedly greeted: "Don't leave first...... If you have something to say, you can ask me to help you, but I have to discuss it with my family. ”

"Nope."

Yang Yun flatly refused, "It's best not to leak this matter, especially my identity, if it is known, it will cause trouble." If Miss feels that she can't help herself, don't force it. ”

Liu Qingyuan was angry: "Who said that this girl is not capable of helping you?" Isn't it just looking for someone to take you out of Shudi? Hmph, it's a no-brainer...... I know a few of the stewards of the caravan at home, so I just need to let them know, so what's so difficult? ”

Yang Yun bowed and said, "Then Miss Lao Fu will go and notify me now, and find a caravan steward to contact me...... After this matter is done, I will first tell the truth about the method of making ice, and then tell the young lady how to make sour soup after I leave Chengdu...... What do you think? ”

"What if you run away then?" Liu Qingyuan frowned.

Yang Yun laughed: "Sour soup and ice-making, obviously ice-making is more difficult, and it has never been done since ancient times...... As for the sour soup, why should the young lady care so much? On this hot summer day, lychees, peaches, pears and even tangerines can be squeezed into juice, and if you add ice cubes, the taste is ...... Tsk......"

Liu Qingyuan's eyes lit up when he heard this.

The land of Bashu is rich in fruits, for a family like the Liu family, as long as there is money, what can't be bought? With the fruit, it is really not difficult to squeeze the people into juice.

Thinking of this, Liu Qingyuan finally made up her mind and said to Yang Yun: "This girl will believe you once, and then I will ask someone to invite the caravan steward...... Isn't it just to send you out of Shudi, it's just a gesture! ”

……

……

Liu Qingyuan knew that she didn't have to accompany Yang Yun to drink anymore, and she exchanged singing and dancing for a recipe to please people, so she was secretly happy.

Liu Qingyuan asked the maid to invite the caravan steward who lived in the neighborhood to come, and the two sat back at the stone table.

"Why don't you have a drink with Miss?"

Yang Yun looked at the table full of dishes, stretched out his hand to pick up the wine jug, filled the wine glass in front of him, and asked with a smile.

Liu Qingyuan raised her hand: "Who do you think of me?" The dusty woman who accompanies wine and laughs in the Chu Pavilion of Qinlou? You want to drink it yourself, but this girl is not interested in accompanying you. ”

Yang Yun was a little embarrassed, raised the wine glass to his mouth and took a sip, the taste was sweet and sour, a little like mash water, it was just right for girls to drink it.

After drinking it all, Yang Yun picked up the chopsticks and ate a few bites of the food, and filled the wine glass in front of him to hide his embarrassment.

Seeing Yang Yun's embarrassment, Liu Qingyuan felt more comfortable in her heart, as if the initiative had completely fallen into her hands.

Yang Yun stopped eating, and occasionally exchanged a few words with Liu Qingyuan, but Liu Qingyuan looked like a tsundere who loved to ignore her.

After a long time, the maid brought a middle-aged man in his early forties, with a majestic figure, dark skin, a square face, and a terrifying glint in his slender eyes, and Liu Qingyuan immediately got up to greet him.

"Uncle Lei, you're here."

Liu Qingyuan was very familiar with this man, and greeted him with a smile.

Yang Yun stood still and did not come forward.

The man known as "Uncle Lei" walked over, originally smiling, but when he saw a young man in the pavilion, his eyes froze, and his keen gaze swept away, and he found that there was only half a glass of wine left on the table and Yang Yun in front of him, and his face became ugly.

"Miss."

The middle-aged man respectfully saluted Liu Qingyuan.

Liu Qingyuan smiled and took the middle-aged man's hand: "Uncle Lei, I still remember when I was a child, I often rode on your neck and played at home. This is ...... Well, how about sitting down and having a drink? ”

Liu Qingyuan originally wanted to introduce Yang Yun to the visitor, but thinking of Yang Yun's special identity, leaking it was likely to bring big trouble to the Liu family, so she kept silent.

And her reaction could only make the man surnamed Lei feel that Yang Yun's identity was "special", and he had a private meeting with Liu Qingyuan in the middle of the night in the courtyard, thinking that there was something unspeakable.

"No need, the caravan will depart tomorrow, and I still have to prepare here...... I don't know what the young lady is doing when she calls the old man? The man surnamed Lei looked at Liu Qingyuan with a doting look in his eyes, but he was very respectful in his every move, and he didn't dare to cross the boundary between master and servant.

Liu Qingyuan smiled and said, "Uncle Lei has loved me since I was a child, can't I invite you to a glass of water and wine?" Uncle Lei, you can sit down and rest for a while, and we will talk while we drink. ”

"I really don't have to, miss, I won't leave the house for a few months tomorrow, I have to explain it to my family." The man surnamed Lei patiently explained.

Liu Qingyuan showed regret on her face and said, "Since Uncle Lei is so busy, let's wait for the next opportunity to drink and talk to Uncle Lei." To get back to the point, I invited Uncle Lei to come here today because I have something to trust...... I have a friend who wants to leave Shudi, but the road is not familiar, and I need someone to help me on the road, so when I ask for my name, I think of Uncle Lei. ”

"Oh?"

The man surnamed Lei swept Yang Yun sharply and asked, "But this little brother?" ”

"Exactly."

Liu Qingyuan bowed.

The man surnamed Lei approached Yang Yun and greeted him: "I don't know what to call the son?" ”

"The surname is Yang." Yang Yun replied.

"It turned out to be Yang Gongzi, I don't know why Yang Gongzi came out of Shu?"

At first glance, the man surnamed Lei is the kind of well-informed old Jianghu, who is cautious, and he can see that it is not a good thing for Yang Yun to ask Liu Qingyuan to help.

Yang Yun said: "Actually, I am not from Shudi, I am from the Central Plains, but I was delayed because of trivial matters, and I was stranded in Chengdu and did not return." Now that I heard that there would be a big war in Xichuan, and the road would be difficult for a while, I wanted to return to my hometown to reunite with my relatives as soon as possible. ”

The man surnamed Lei obviously didn't believe Yang Yun's words, and asked with a smile: "You said you are from the Central Plains?" ”

Yang Yun had long expected this, so he changed into a Henan opera tone: "Exactly, my trip is to Henan Road." ”

"I see!"

The man surnamed Lei nodded in relief.

In these days, many people can't even leave their homes for hundreds of miles, let alone learn the accent of a place thousands of miles away. Yang Yun usually talks to people with a Shu accent, and after he comes up with a pure Central Plains accent, it is difficult for even an old and serious old Jianghu to notice anything wrong.

"Miss, I can't be the master of this matter, so I have to ask my son."

The man surnamed Lei stopped asking Yang Yun, and turned to Liu Qingyuan and said.

Liu Qingyuan looked restrained: "Uncle Lei, this matter ...... I didn't want my family to know, especially my father and brother, so I invited Uncle Lei over alone...... Just ask Uncle Lei to help me this time, I know that Uncle Lei has always loved me the most. ”

At this time, Liu Qingyuan was no longer rude, and looked at the man surnamed Lei with a pair of watery eyes, looking pitiful.

The man surnamed Lei looked uncertain, his eyes roamed over Yang Yun, and there was not only surprise in his eyes, but also anger.

Yang Yun thought to himself: "My own lady had a private meeting with a young man in the middle of the night, drank and had fun, and was disheveled, so she was bumped into by you, such a scandal, you reported to your master as a subordinate, it is clear that you are revealing your own shortcomings!" Now the head of the Liu family will not treat you well, but it is not certain how it will be in the future. In order to maintain the family's reputation, I can't say when I will let you play and disappear. In this way, in fact, the best solution is to quietly send people out of Shu, as if this incident had never happened...... I wonder how you will choose? ”

"Miss, if you don't tell Childe, you will ......be known by Childe when you turn around," the man surnamed Lei hesitated for a while, he really couldn't bear the consequences, and finally said embarrassedly.

Liu Qingyuan smiled and was relieved: "Uncle Lei, please relax, if you don't say anything about this matter, I won't say it, who will know?" And after he left Shudi, he had nothing to do with our Liu family, and he loved to go wherever he wanted, as if he had never seen him before. ”

The man surnamed Lei fought for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth, nodded and said: "The caravan I led will leave the city early tomorrow morning, so let this Yang Gongzi prepare and leave as soon as the city gate opens...... I had already greeted the East Gate guard before, and it would be difficult to get out again if I missed the hour. ”
