Chapter VI Aspiring Youth
While he was thinking, a small servant had already walked in with a tea set and placed it on the table of the Eight Immortals. As soon as Lin Qingliang changed his depressed expression, he couldn't wait to fill the teacup in front of me with tea, and then persuaded diligently: "Li Gongzi, this is the newly fried black tea in Xia, although it is not as good as the top grade in the capital, but it is all fried by hand in Xia, Gongzi, please taste it, I don't know if it is still in line with your wishes." ”
'Tea tasting'! That's right, I rarely drink tea, and when I have nothing to do, I drink some Tieguanyin, and I'm really tired and sleepy to drink Red Bull! Who has the leisure time to drink tea slowly, besides, I really haven't studied this way, so let yourself taste the quality of tea, it is better to feed the tiger a handful of grass.
I secretly laughed in my heart, although this person is sour and rotten, but also extremely cute, maybe only such a heartless, confident and persistent person has the quality of an inventor, this is a talent that is hard to buy!
Thinking of this, while expressing my gratitude, I picked up the celadon teacup in front of me, and before I reached my lips, a fragrant aroma had already rushed to my nose, and there was a refreshing and refreshing feeling. Although I am not a master of tea tasting, this indescribable refreshing taste still touched me instantly.
I hurriedly looked down closely, but saw more than a dozen fat tea leaves floating in the teacup, the leaves were transparent and bright, slightly golden faint, and the tea was red and transparent, even and smooth, and it was already eye-catching before the entrance, which aroused my interest sharply, and I quickly took a sip gently, and the thick and fresh taste made the limbs and bones have an indescribable transparency and refreshing.
I secretly thought: According to my historical knowledge, the ancients before the Song Dynasty drank tea, and they used broken tea leaves plus jujubes and brown sugar to boil it directly. Unexpectedly, Lin Qingliang, a mountain master, discovered the wonders of roasted tea early and brought it to the extreme. People who don't know tea feel good when they drink it, if the tea saint Lu Yu is reborn, he won't be crazy after drinking this tea.
Looking at the color of this tea, combined with the place where it is, I can roughly judge that this is the world-famous Yunnan black tea. Thinking about this, Lin Qingliang is the ancestor of Yunnan black tea, right.
I saw Lin Qingliang staring at me with expectant eyes, and thought to myself, if I don't brag it out, I'm afraid this tea idiot will never look at himself in the future.
I immediately searched my intestines and scraped my stomach, and I thought of all the good words and sentences that I could think of, such as what kind of color and oiliness, mellow aroma, red soup, strong taste, fragrant aroma and other good words and sentences praising tea, Lin Qingliang's eyebrows danced, and he almost danced with his hands. Even Lin Tong next to him couldn't help but almost laugh.
"Li Gongzi is worthy of being an elegant person from the capital, and what he has seen is extremely clever. You must know that this is my selection of a bud and a leaf in the tea garden, after withering, rolling, drying and other complicated means to refine, 30 acres of tea garden only got two catties of high quality, even I am usually not willing to drink it! ”
As he was talking, he heard the sound of footsteps, and from outside the door of the living room walked in a slender and straight young man wearing a blue light shirt and robe, about twenty-four or five years old, with an open and natural forehead, and a strange and handsome appearance, as if he could see everything with wise eyes, which made the visitor appear extraordinary in bearing.
When Lin Qingliang saw this young man coming in, he said happily, "Yi'er, have you just arrived home?" I haven't come to see Li Gongzi from the capital. ”
The young man hurriedly replied: "Yes, second uncle, I just came back from Ningzhou, I didn't know that there was a distinguished guest at home, please forgive me for being rude." When his gaze turned to me, his body shook slightly, and his eyes slightly revealed inexplicable astonishment and doubt, but he returned to normal in an instant, and approached me to salute and said: "In Xia Lin Yi, you can see the honorable guest, how to be happy." ”
I didn't dare to slack off at the moment, so I quickly stood up and bowed back: "Li Yi, Xiao Kexing Wangfu, I have no reason to disturb your mansion, please forgive me." ”
"Li Yi? Oh! Brother Tai... Brother Tai is Li Yi, who is about to serve as the Yunnan Xuanfu envoy? Lin Yi, whose face was full of surprise, continued to ask.
"It's down there, oh! Have you ever heard of Brother Tai? "In the face of Lin Yi's questioning, I had no choice but to call myself something, anyway, this identity is with me, and it is difficult not to act, so I can just continue acting.
"Oh, it's no wonder that Brother Tai's bearing is so extraordinary, but it turned out that the parents who were under him had arrived, and he didn't treat each other well, and he hoped that Lord Li would forgive him, but he ...... It's just ......" Lin Yi said this, but there was a trace of imperceptible doubt in his eyes, although it was only an instant, but it was still captured by me, the puzzled expression and slurred words, although it made me deeply suspicious, but I still decided to take a gamble.
"Hey! The hospitality of your mansion is making Li Yi feel uneasy, how can it be unreasonable. Brother Lin didn't seem to have anything to say just now, but was there anything unspeakable? While expressing my gratitude, I deliberately asked Lin Yi.
Lin Yi, who looked slightly embarrassed, hesitated a little, and then said with a solemn face: "Since Master Li is asking, how dare you not tell the truth." I have just returned from Ningzhou, but I have received a shocking news, I am afraid that there will be news that is not conducive to adults in the next few days. Lin Yi paused, stared at me with clear eyes, looked at my still calm and calm expression, and couldn't help but sigh before continuing.
"Lord Li doesn't know, the current Ningzhou is no longer the world of the Han Dynasty, the current Yunnan Xuanfu made Sun Decheng support the army and set up checkpoints everywhere, I am afraid that in the next few days, he will be cut off from the king. It is said that several groups of killers were also sent to hunt down the adults. At this time, if Lord Li wants to get out of Zhenningzhou smoothly, I'm afraid it won't be so easy, doesn't Lord Li know at all? ”
After saying these words, Lin Yi sighed, his anxious eyes stared at me tightly, although he was full of doubts, he was also full of worries about my safety.
Lin Qingliang and Lin Tong also seemed quite surprised, and stood up and looked at me together, probably trying to find something from my reaction.
Through their suspicious and concerned looks, it can be seen that this Lin family should not be Sun Decheng's people, on the contrary, they are deeply worried about Sun Decheng's perverse behavior. Since the Lin family does not have a good impression of Sun Decheng's alleged king, no matter what his purpose is, he is currently the object that I should actively strive for. Although the strength of the Lin family may be far from Sun Decheng, if they get the support of the Lin family, although it cannot pose a huge threat to Sun Decheng, it is a drowning man who grasps a life-saving straw for me, and the recovery of my confidence is undoubtedly huge.
Thinking of this, I smiled slightly and said, "I can't hide it from Brother Lin, I encountered a killer sent by Sun Thief yesterday, and I also knew about Sun Thief's plot to betray Han and stand on his own." It's just that Li is lonely and can't scream, so he can't bear it for the time being. When the Sun thief's plot was revealed, the imperial army would definitely come like a tide, and the Sun thief tried in vain to fight against the millions of heroes of the imperial court with a small amount of land, but in the end it was just a humiliation. ”
Lin Yi looked at me in amazement, and was impressed by my composure, and said in a deep voice after a long time: "What the lord said, although it is good, but, as far as I know, Sun Thief is by no means a reckless person. This person has been in charge of Yunnan for 17 years, and he has long been familiar with the situation of the Han Dynasty, otherwise he would not dare to take the risk of rebellion easily. Master Li should know that Yunnan is poor and remote, the land is barren, and the Yi and Han are mixed, and it is not easy to manage. The imperial court has always regarded Yunnan as chicken ribs, chicken ribs, tasteless food, it is a pity to abandon it, if there is an accident, it is very likely to abandon it. ”
"Secondly, the war between the Han and the Chu State is complicated, and the two sides are repeatedly fighting for the land of several states at the same time, which has become a stalemate, involving all the military strength and energy of the imperial court, how can there be any other reason."
"Moreover, Jiaozhou Assassin Shi Qu Chengmei appointed himself as the envoy of Jinghai Festival, which made Emperor Longyan furious, and when there were no troops to draw, he requisitioned more than 20,000 elite soldiers in Zhenxiong and Ningyuan, and built warships along the coast, and was about to attack Jiaozhou in the near future. In this way, Yunnan has no trouble outside the country. Finally, Yunnan mountains are high and dense, the terrain is majestic, and the three passes of Baiwu, Baoshan and Shengjing are guarded by danger, which can block the 100,000 army of the Han Dynasty. From this point of view, Sun Decheng's rebellion against the Han Dynasty and self-reliance are precarious, so it can be concluded that Yunnan will no longer be a Han dynasty from now on. ”
After listening to Lin Yi's incisive and detailed analysis, I had to secretly admire. His analysis was reasonable, and he smashed my plan in an instant, and my heart sank at once. O my God! Why did I come to this era, and when I came to this era, I just came to this era to be a propaganda envoy in peace, and why did I have another problem, which made it difficult for me to easily achieve my wish. It's miserable enough to cross over here, if I take my life to be an official in this place where birds don't, will I do it?
For a while, my emotions fell to the bottom, and although I pretended to be calm on the surface, my expression suddenly darkened.
Lin Yi's eyes were like torches, and when he saw my expression, he sighed lightly and said, "Master Li doesn't have to worry too much, although the current situation is unsatisfactory, Sun Decheng's situation is not much better." As far as I know, although Yunnan has seven counties, its population is only as much as 100,000, and Yunnan's economy is backward and its financial resources are poor, so Sun Decheng's military resources are limited and he cannot set off any big storms. In addition to the 6,000 elite soldiers stationed at Sanguan and the 1,500 sergeants stationed in Yuezhou to defend the southeast barbarians, the strength in Ningzhou is only more than 2,000 people, of which a considerable number are miscellaneous soldiers who maintain law and order in the city. There are only five or six hundred tooth soldiers who are really descendants of Sun Decheng, and most of them are cockfighting lackeys, they are simply a group of rabble, so it should be said that there is nothing to worry about. If there is an incident, it will become elbows and armpits, and the possibility of birds and beasts scattering is also very great. Therefore, there are still opportunities for adults. ”
