Shang Cheng frowned and fell into anxious thought, and Chen Pu thought that his words had gone wrong. She was afraid that Shang Cheng would have some bad misunderstanding, so she quickly changed the topic and said: "The Ministry of War has increased your Yanshan Guard, so your life should be relaxed in the future." There are thousands of new soldiers, and I think that when the Turks come back, they will definitely not be able to please one by one, and you will definitely clean them up fiercely! ”

With her words, Shang Cheng laughed. Speaking of which, Chen Pu has known him for a long time, but he still doesn't know him. Is he the kind of person who waits at home and waits for others to bully? With these soldiers, how could he still be sitting at home waiting for the Tuqi people to come to the door! He said: "There is another drought in Yanshan this year, and there is definitely not enough food to eat, so I don't want to wait for 'guests' at home." I plan to go to the grassland as a guest and exchange their experiences with the King of Donglu Valley about the Spring Festival Campaign. ”

Chen Pu stared at him with wide eyes. Shang Cheng's words sounded like a joke, and she couldn't figure out whether he was really going to the steppe to conquer the Tuqi people, or if he was talking to herself. After a while, she asked, "What did you say...... It's true? ”

"Of course it's true." Shang Cheng said. He didn't hide it, he told Chen Pu about Yan Shanwei's combat strategy and Chen Pu's general outline, and finally said, "This trip to Beijing is for this matter, and I want to ask the imperial court to coordinate the two guards of Bohai and Dingjin, so that they can make a plan when we start." As for the forbidden troops of those two brigades and a few battalions of garrisons from other states, it was an accident, and it was probably because the military department thought that I was going to make trouble with them, so they hurriedly threw a few bones to calm my anger. Actually, whether there are these soldiers or not, whether Bohai Dingjin helps or not, I don't really care. No matter what, even if a knife falls from the sky, I'll go to the grassland next month anyway! ”

His voice was not loud, but his words were sonorous and frustrating, Chen Puang looked at him for a long time before he hesitated and said, "Then, why don't you take troops to fight Blackwater City?" She didn't understand why Shang Cheng would give up such a great opportunity to Guo Biao. Because she was afraid that Shang Cheng would not know the benefits of conquering Heishui City, she also brought out the words left by Emperor Taizong's oath to Tianduanyue: "The one who takes Heishui!" Children and grandchildren will continue to inherit and rest with the country! ”

She said to Shang Cheng very seriously: "Let Guo Biao go to Yandong to deal around, and you go to fight Blackwater City!" ”

Shang Cheng grinned and didn't know what to say. He and Chen Pu talked about the autumn war, originally wanting to get some inspiration from her, a layman. How do you know that Chen Zhuguo's perspective is different, skipping the three stages of pre-war preparation, campaign development and the end of the war, and even considering the possibility of victory or defeat of the war, he directly began to consider a very critical question: how to distribute and calculate the credit after the war?

He said patiently: "Guo Biao is not the opponent of the king of Donglu Valley......"

But this couldn't stop Chen Pu, she immediately said: "Then find someone who can deal with the king of Donglu Valley!" She thought about it with a frown, and immediately picked out someone from her mind. Let Sun Zhongshan go! He is a little stronger than Guo Biao, and he will definitely be able to lure the king of Donglu Valley into the trap! She considered Shang Chengzuo very thoughtfully, and said, "Sun Zhongshan is very capable of fighting, and you brought people out of the Yanshan border army, you have a great grace to him, and this critical moment is the time for him to serve his life!" If you have any concerns, you can also send Qian Laosan to be his assistant. Qian Laosan is brave, Sun Zhongshan is strategic, the two of them are both brave and brave, no matter how clever the king of Donglu Valley is, he will inevitably be defeated! The more she spoke, the more excited she became, and two blushes appeared on her round face. Ah, she is rare to be shrewd, and she can make personnel arrangements and military guidance in an instant, even she herself feels very happy and excited. And this remark was still said in front of a soldier like Shang Cheng, which taught her an indescribable pride!

Shang Cheng smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Guo Biao can't beat the king of Donglu Valley, so Sun Zhongshan can have a good result if he goes?

Yes, Sun Zhongshan's military ability is stronger than Guo Biao, which he admits; But it's just that much stronger. However, Guo Biao's military experience and war lessons are far richer than Sun Zhongshan's, and his experience of losing battles is much more than Sun Zhongshan's; In these aspects, Sun Zhongshan cannot be compared with Guo Biao at all. Guo Biao can't deal with the king of Donglu Valley, and Sun Zhongshan is even less of an opponent. As for what Chen Pu said about letting Sun Qian and the two of them deal with the king of Donglu Valley together, it's funny to think about: two people are resourceful and brave, and tying them together is considered both wise and brave?

Anyway, he didn't discuss this matter with Chen Pu.

He was still slandering Chen Pu just now that he didn't understand him, and it seemed that he didn't understand Chen Pu. He couldn't help but mock himself in his belly: Do you really think that if you seal the Pillar Kingdom, you will definitely be able to fight as well as Xiao Jian and Yang Du, and if you are a princess, you must be equal to beauty and wisdom?

He didn't want to say anything military to Chen Pu again, but he didn't have a good topic in a hurry, and was thinking about how to lead Chen Pu's train of thought away without showing a trace, and the master happened to come back.

He was sure that Nanyang already knew his other identity, but he couldn't come up with a good idea to deal with this matter for a while, so when Nanyang came in, he was very hesitant whether he should stand up and say a few flattering kind words. As a result, Nanyang walked into the house, and he hurriedly stood up and squeezed out a smiling face and said, "Oh, I'm really sorry, I was reckless and disturbed!" It's so tiring......"

He suddenly changed his attitude, but bluffed Nanyang a step back, and looked him up and down several times in surprise. She probably didn't know what to do with Shang Cheng, so she opened her mouth and closed it, and finally just bowed deeply to Shang Cheng, and then stepped aside and motioned for the maids to come in and set up the decorations.

She was followed by four dressed maids. One is holding a piano wrapped in a bag, and the other is holding a tray with pots, bowls, cups and cups on the tray; There were also two small wooden tables, in the middle of which was cleverly embedded a small and delicate red clay stove, and an antique red copper kettle on a red charcoal fire, from which a stream of white steam was spewing out.

Because this is a side hall used by the host to receive relatives and friends, there is no need to pay attention to too many cumbersome formal etiquette, so Chen Pu did not return to the right side of the escort seat. She pulled Shang Cheng to sit down, and asked quietly through the small case, "What are you doing?" Look at you scared my sister so much that her face turned white. Shang Cheng ignored her. Chen Pu paused for a moment, saw Nanyang kneel and sit down on the newly clothed small desk cushion in the middle of the hall, and whispered: "You are a blessed person!" I haven't seen my third sister order tea in years. Others say that my third sister's name is her calligraphy, but they don't know that her tea is also a must. Her tea art is Xiao Li Daoren, who learned from Zhongnan Mountain. The year before the big one, Xiao Li Daoren said before his feathering that there were many people who asked him about tea art in these years, but my third sister ......"

She muttered enviously to the side that she couldn't stop, but Shang Cheng didn't listen to a word. On the surface, he was engrossed in watching Nanyang burn incense, clean his hands, and neatly arrange several silver gadgets in the tray one by one, but in fact, his thoughts were not in front of him.

He nervously pondered in his heart the possibility of Nanyang breaking his identity and the consequences it would bring.

Now, he can basically be sure that Nanyang knows his other identity, the so-called great calligrapher Mr. Yu Que. However, for some reason, Nanyang has not revealed his strange identity until now. Moreover, judging from Nanyang's current actions, she will most likely not reveal her identity in the future.

For him, exposing him is a lack of business, which is nothing, and he is not afraid. If there are more lice, it doesn't itch! Anyway, the Prime Minister's Office has long known that his identity is strange, and if he knows calligraphy now, it will not cause any more alarm; It doesn't matter if this thing spreads, at most it will make him bear the reputation of a Confucian general; Although the appearance is not related to the "lupine crown scarf", but the Confucian general is the Confucian general, he recognizes it! He was only worried about whether this matter would bring any trouble to Lu Ji, Zhou Xiang and Huo Shiqi's grandson Zhongshan. Uncle Seventeen's family will not talk about it, his resume has been peeked out, and it is estimated that the Huo family must have been repeatedly inspected by the Prime Minister's public office I don't know how many times, and there has been no accident so far, so it can be regarded as the court has the intention to let it go and not be held accountable. But Lu Ji Zhou Xiang is different. These are people who do things solidly, have the ability, patience, perseverance, and hard work, and they all want to do something in a down-to-earth manner in the local area, and their resume fraud has nothing to do with them, they cannot be implicated; But the revelation of the identity of "Mr. Missing" is another matter. They work with themselves day and night, and they ignore many flaws in their speech and behavior, and even if they admit the fault of "failure to investigate", they will be held accountable for the crime of "indulging", and even if they can protect their families, their careers will basically be over. These people either hold important positions in the Health Department, or work in various state capitals, or they are not the sole leader of an army to guard one side, once they have an accident, it will be impossible for Yanshan to recover in a few years. So he can't let Nanyang expose that he is Mr. Yu Que, let alone let this matter be publicized, and let people take the handle to deal with Lu Ji and them. He had to think of a way to appease Nanyang, and it was best to do it once and for all......

His mind was racing with his thoughts, and his eyes were still looking at Nanyang's every move, as if he was admiring her superb tea ordering skills.

Now, Nanyang has used a wooden spoon to take three spoonfuls of finely ground tea leaves from a clay cup, evenly sprinkled them on the bottom of the three bowls, and used a silver spoon to take fine salt, shredded ginger, orange peel and jujube meat from the wooden box, and covered the broken tea with a thin layer. Every time she poured a seasoning, she tapped it gently on the rim with a silver spoon, and the crisp sound of the hammer was accompanied by the murmuring of the piano, which slowly swirled through the side hall......

He thought that Nanyang respected him so much and treated him with courtesy, it was just that he wanted to take a few more words from him. It's easy to do! Yanshan's family has a few books that he likes very much, including not only Wei tablets, but also Xingshu and cursive script, all of which are sent to Nanyang. I'm afraid that if she invites herself to write on the spot, it will be troublesome. Chen Pu is nothing, and he won't go out and talk nonsense; He trusted her! But it is impossible for him to hide the fact that he was invited by the two princesses to rest on Nanyang Zhuangzi; He stayed here for a night, and within a few days, someone heard that Princess Nanyang had other "posthumous works" of Mr. Yu Que, or someone saw Nanyang go to the calligraphy and painting shop to do framing, then a little attention can also link him and Mr. Yu Que together One by one The story can be compiled, but the ink will expose everything, and the connoisseur can rely on the ink of the old speculation book sticker to achieve the approximate time!

Therefore, it is still necessary to find a way to keep Nanyang silent, and it is best to hide it from Chen Pu. As soon as he got home, he immediately sent someone to send those few words back to her!

While he was thinking nonsense, Nanyang had already ordered three cups of fragrant tea, and a maid served one and handed it to Shang Cheng.

Shang Cheng took the tea, recalled the behavior of the scholar Zhu Xuan at that time, first held the cup in his hand, lowered his head and stared at the steaming water for a long time, and then made a very emotional appearance and said loudly: "Good tea!" It's really good tea! Then he took a sip lightly against the rim of the lamp, closed his eyes and seemed to be carefully distinguishing the taste, opened his eyes and shook his head with emotion, and said even louder: "The princess's tea ordering skills are indeed extraordinary!" Good, good tea! ”

He didn't feel anything when he made such an exaggerated move, but Chen Pu next to him was embarrassed and blushing. She is still stretching out her hand to pick up the tea cup in Shang Cheng's hand, who knows that Shang Cheng has already picked up the cup and tasted it first!

The four maids are all in the fourteen, fifteen or sixteen rooms, it is the age of youth, beauty and innocence, looking at Shang Cheng's behavior, you know that he actually doesn't know anything about the art of ordering tea, but he wants to make an expert appearance, and they all try their best to laugh. Even Nanyang didn't say anything for a long time with his mouth open. At the end, she shook her head and pursed her lips and whispered with a smile: "Mr. is really uninhibited, and he is really a man of temperament!" ”

The maid who was with her muttered in a low voice, "Where is his true nature?" He obviously doesn't know how to pretend to understand......"

At this moment, the other three maids could no longer hold back and giggled. Even Nanyang, a person who keeps respecting "Mr.", has a wry smile on his face.

Shang Chengqing knew that he was still ugly, but everyone else was laughing crookedly, and he didn't know what he was wrong about. He couldn't figure out what he had done wrong, so he looked at Chen Pu with his eyes. What's wrong with him doing this? He has not only seen the university scholar Zhu Xuanda's talented Chang Xiu and them fighting tea, but also seen their tea at Lu Ji Di Xu's house. If he had behaved wrong, would they not have spoken out to him?

Chen Pumu grimaced, staring at the green bricks under his feet without saying a word.

She didn't want to deal with this fake monk!

In the past, she heard that Shang Cheng's resume was faulty, and it was likely that he was a fake monk, and she also distinguished it for him. But she was now sure that this man was a fake monk. Where in the world is there a big temple monk who doesn't even understand the etiquette of ordering tea?

But Shang Cheng is her comrade-in-arms, and in the final analysis, she can't ignore his humble request for advice. She rolled her eyelids and glanced at him, and said very unhappily: "There is a ceremony for fighting tea, and there is a ceremony for ordering tea and a little tea." You eat some tea at their house in Luji, just you and him, he orders tea and serves it, of course you can taste it if you praise it. But how many people are in this room? ”

"Seven!" Shang Cheng replied immediately without hesitation.

It's not that he didn't have a sword with him, and he didn't have anything to take advantage of, General Zhuguo wanted to teach Admiral Yanshan a lesson. Those four maids are also human? …… Of course, they are human beings, too; But they're maids! There are three people in this room, the owner Nanyang Jingshang Cheng is a distinguished guest, ordered fragrant tea to serve him first, he looked at the water marks and looked at the bottom of the steamy cup, he should give it to himself, and then Nanyang will give him another lamp, and then she also tasted the color and looked at the steam, and then the three of them raised the lamp together and drank together......

Shang Cheng was robbed by her, and his face turned red with shame. But this can't be blamed on him, how did he know that there are so many etiquette and doorways for drinking saliva?

Chen Pu looked at him stupidly, and couldn't help but say: "Tea Zen Tea Zen, only with fragrant tea can you better understand the wonderful meaning of Zen." When you were a monk in the temple, your master didn't teach you the art of ordering tea? She didn't think about it, but Shang Zida was so angry that she couldn't help but stab him with these words.

Shang Cheng immediately opened his mouth and couldn't speak.

Nanyang was smart, seeing that the two of them were in a hurry, he immediately interjected and said: "Mr. is a great talent in the world, and he doesn't know how to order tea, so it's not a ......."

Chen Pu was regretting that he was quick to speak recklessly, and after listening to Nanyang's words, he quickly echoed and said: "Yes, yes, this is nothing, it's really nothing!" ”

Nanyang ignored his sister and continued: "...... But Mr. Gaoyi, away from the mountains and wilderness to the city, abandon leisure and go to the complicated, every day the stupid old officials come and go to the vulgar people lingering, leisure time is inevitably sleepy, and think of the quiet and distant place. She pointed to the maids on the left and right, "The four sons here, since childhood, have been cooking tea with me since childhood, although a few ugly words are sparse and simple can not enter the torch of Mr. Please serve the fourth son around Mr. Yu and make tea for Mr. ......"

Chen Pu couldn't close his mouth when he opened his mouth. The appearance of the four maids around Nanyang is not outstanding, it is rare that they know calligraphy, understand etiquette, know piano and be good at singing and dancing, and their tea skills have her true inheritance. I don't know what kind of madness Nanyang is going on today, but she values the grimace Admiral Yanshan so much, and the other brothers and sisters came to the door to beg for help but couldn't take any of them away, she actually gave all four of them to Shang Zida in one go?

Shang Cheng had a headache when he heard her reciting the ancient words of the book in a low voice. The ancient words are all understood, but it has to be nerve-wracking when they are coherent, and when he ponders and understands the previous sentence, he doesn't know how many sentences have passed. But Nanyang's last sentence, he immediately understood: She wanted to give him four female babies?

He didn't even think about the purpose of Nanyang sending the four female babies, so he immediately shook his head and waved his hand and categorically refused: "I got my kindness!" ”

To be honest, he didn't like Nanyang's habit of sending things indiscriminately when he had nothing to do. You say, how good it is for her princess to write a word and order a cup of tea, why do you have to learn from Guo Biao's bastard? He hasn't even figured out how to deal with the two singers in the family, and she will send four more here, won't that add to the chaos for him?

Thinking of the two singers sent by Guo Biao, he was angry, and his words were no longer so polite: "Princess, I know, you know some of my past. He glanced at Nanyang deeply before continuing, "However, I am the Admiral of Yanshan of Dazhao first, and then I can talk about other ......" He only focused on Yanshanwei and the Tuqi people on the grassland for now; Calligraphy and tea skills and other things to cultivate temperament, when he finishes cleaning up the people of Tuji, he will have time to talk about it.

He didn't finish his sentence. Chen Pu's face was full of confusion, he looked at Shang Cheng and then at Nanyang, he didn't understand that Nanyang inexplicably said that he wanted to send Shang Cheng four maids, and Shang Cheng's face suddenly changed. Nanyang also didn't understand it half-understood, and seemed to understand it in a trance, but he didn't know the point at all, but nodded resignedly and said, "What Mr. said was that I was reckless." ”

As soon as she looked cautious and pitiful, Shang Cheng couldn't say anything cruel, so he had to say, "Hurry up and start eating." I'm hungry......"
