Chapter Seventy-Eight: What Kind of Birds Are There When the Forest Is Big?
"What do you call me?"
The woman in the snowsuit said quietly, her eyes as clear as water.
The smile on Le Mi's face froze for a moment, she put her hands together and shook it: "Le Mi has seen a noble girl." ”
"Well, since you're uninvited, then go in and talk." The woman in the snow-clad said lightly, her eyes had never looked at Le Mi.
The "Flower Beard" pushed open the fence wall, the "Beauty Tongue" hung the bird cage on the willow tree, and the courtyard was planted with the unique gladiolus of the Lu country.
The maids carried out the low table from the room and placed it in the small courtyard, the 'flower beard' lit the elk incense burner on the case, and the 'beautiful tongue' spread the new reed mat behind the table.
The woman in the snowsuit sat down slowly.
Le Mi sat behind another low case, with a solemn expression, not squinting, staring at the incense that turned upward, and his expression was very cramped.
The 'beautiful tongue' began to boil tea, the tea set was extremely exquisite, the tea urn was embroidered with the logo of Lu Guo, the white elk had a sword orchid on its head, and even the long-handled green bamboo spoon that hooked the tea was the same.
The faint aroma of tea mixed with the fragrance of gladiolus wrapped around the tip of the nose, and there was a slight fresh taste of dew, Le Mi took the tea handed by the 'beautiful tongue', and took the opportunity to raise her hand to look at the woman in snow.
The woman in snow had a silk scarf tied on her face and did not drink tea, and the 'flower beard' put the Gusse on her case, and the woman in snow lowered her head and adjusted the strings, and said while tuning: "Say, what do you mean by coming here, Lu Yaoyi only knows the scholar Le Ning of the Lu State, but he does not know the general of the Qi State." The voice was very light, but it was quite nice, like the strings she was playing, crisp and pleasant.
Le Mi put down the tea bowl, looked at this noble lady, and couldn't help but guess the peerless face under the veil, others didn't know who the owner of Moxianglou was, but he knew that the world's largest wine shop, the owner of Moxianglou, who was familiar with the land of Zhongzhou, was none other than the woman in front of her, and she also had another identity, that is, the daughter of Lu Bing, the late minister of Lu State, and also the nobleman of Lu State, with a third-class viscount from her father, Fanghua Twenty-three, is still waiting to be married, however, it is rumored that this strange woman has made a vow that if the Qi country is not destroyed, she will not marry for a day.
Lu Bing, the minister of state of Lu, died in the battle of Qilu.
Le Mi is a native of Lu, but he serves in Qi, in Qi, he is a real nobleman, but in Lu, he and his brother are just ordinary scholars, and they can't be compared with this noble woman in front of him, if it weren't for his brother being a general of Qi, he would not be qualified to sit in front of this noble woman and taste tea, even now, he still has to look up.
"Ding-dong." A string sounded, and the snow-clad woman's brow furrowed.
Flowerbeard coughed softly.
Le Mi looked stunned, retracted her gaze, stared down at the incense burner, and said with a smile: "Brother Brother is the leader of the Qilu Alliance, and the noble girl must know the reason." ”
The woman in the snow-clad bowed her head and said: "The people of the world, the affairs of the world, the order changes day and night, just like a flower blooming." ”
"My brother has never changed."
Le Mi said with a smile: "My brother is a disciple of Qing Xiang, and he has not forgotten the grace of Qing's promotion over the years, let alone the enmity of the past. Now, Qilu has already allied against Chu, and this is the proof. ”
"General Gao Yi." The woman in the snowsuit said nonchalantly, still hanging her head to tune the strings.
Le Mi's gaze involuntarily fell on her neck, that piece of crystal white, his eyes were a little straight, his throat was a little dry, he picked up the tea bowl to moisten his throat, and said: "If the war is defeated, the impatient Qi State will inevitably fight with Dayong, and the two tigers will fight, how can they not be hurt?" Under the elimination of the other's strengths, the hatred of the prime minister and the hatred of the whole country is just around the corner. ”
"Women don't care about state affairs."
The woman in snow raised her head, reached out and took the handkerchief handed by the 'Flower Beard', wiped her hands, and said indifferently: "Yao Yi is just a woman, she doesn't understand the dispute between the big countries, and she doesn't know the strategy of the masters, but Yao Yi knows that the strong are always strong, and the weak are always weak. What's more, if you seek skin with a tiger, how do you know that the tiger does not hurt people? ”
Le Mi said with a smile: "If this is the case, the noble girl is not in Yongdu to collect the world's talents, why is she here?" ”
The snow-clothed woman said lightly: "What I came from is to act in a measured manner, some people always have insufficient success and more than failure." ”
Hearing this, Le Mi stammered for a while, and after a long time, he took a sigh of relief from the tea bowl, and said with a smile: "What the noble girl said is true, my brother also has this concern, and the fortress is bound to be taken. Now, I have sent a camera to attack the fortress of the Ten Suns, and as a precautionary measure, I have come to meet the noble lady. ”
The snow-clothed woman said: "There is nothing perfect in the world, you can tell me, who do you order to forcibly seize the fortress?" ”
As soon as he heard the word 'forcible take', Le Miruo smiled imperceptibly and said: "The fortress that will never fall is traumatized, and it is not much different from the ruined fortress, and the nearly 6,000 people of the Ghost Car Legion, the Red Maple Legion and the Green Lion Legion will turn into Dongyi bandits, if they can obtain the fortress under a sudden attack, it is the best, if not, please ask the noble lady to help." ”
"Ghost Car Legion?"
'Flowerbeard' interjected: "But the invincible ghost car army known as the world's number one mercenary? "Blinking, full of curiosity.
The 'beautiful tongue' also said: "I heard that their legion leader is more mysterious than the wind and the night. ”
"Exactly."
Finally there is something that interests them, Le Mi breathed a sigh of relief, the noble lady opposite is as quiet as water, the cold aroma is slowly coming, and there are two charming maids serving tea beside him, originally this is a beautiful picture, but he feels like sitting on a needle carpet, at this time, I saw the two maids take the initiative to ask about the ghost car corps, and the noble girl is also listening with a lopping ear, this big businessman of Qi only felt light, and said with a smile: "The ghost car corps is indeed mysterious, so far, no one has seen what the corps commander looks like, but, if it is mysterious, Is there any place in the world that can compare to Moxianglou? ”
"That's nature." Flowerbeard said.
Le Mi smiled crookedly, and was about to compliment the noble girl opposite a few words. Who knows, the woman in snow looked up at the sky and said, "I already know what you said, it's not early, please go back." With that, he stood up and walked inside.
It's just past noon, and it's still early.
The big businessman of Qi looked at the back of the snow-clothed woman in a daze.
At this time, the woman in the snowcoat had already walked to the door, but she paused again, did not look back, and said indifferently: "Flower beard, send off the guest for me." ”
"Hey." The flower beard responded crisply, and smiled at Le Mi, who was still stunned: "Mr. Le, please come with me." ”
Eviction order?
Le Mi is the largest businessman in Qi country, wandering around the world as if entering his own backyard, and he is in control of the life and death of tens of thousands of mercenaries in Qi country, but now he has been ordered to expel guests, and the other party is still a woman, however, he did not feel annoyed at all, smiled bitterly, waved towards the back of the woman in snow, turned around and walked with the flower beard to the courtyard, thinking while walking, worthy of being the pearl of Lu country, the hostess of Moxianglou, I was difficult to guess her joy and anger, and unconsciously annoyed her, alas.
The great merchant of Qi left with a long sigh.
As soon as he left, the rich coachman walked into the room of the snow-clothed woman, sat down respectfully opposite her, and said: "The proprietor, Le Qi and Le Ning are not credible, now they are the nobles of the Qi country, and Le Ning is the general of the Qi country, and he is no longer the down-and-out gentleman who Qing has rescued for many years." ”
"I know." The woman in the snow suit took off her veil, revealing a beautiful face, she was too beautiful, both eyebrows and eyes, lips and nose were impeccable, she plucked the strings, and said softly: "Le Ning is not only a child of the soldiers, but also a teacher of the Legalist school, acting fiercely, and the Qi State can indeed make him show his strengths, now he is a Lu or a Qi person, who can say for sure?" However, it is not easy to dominate the world, with the current national strength of Qi State, it is okay to compete with Dayong, and if you want to replace it, it is not just a fool's dream. ”
The middle-aged wealthy merchant said: "If this is the case, why should the proprietor accept this matter?" ”
The woman in snow raised her head, turned her eyes to look at the cherry blossoms outside the window, she didn't know what to think, her eyes were very far-reaching and cold: "For my Lu country, what I need most is time." If the Qi Kingdom goes to war with Dayong, we will have time, that's all. Huh......" As he spoke, he suddenly let out a startled sound from his mouth, and his eyes as bright as snow looked straight at the sky outside the window, without blinking.
The middle-aged wealthy businessman was even more surprised than her, you know, he has served Lu Yaoyi for more than ten years, and he has never seen her surprised appearance, he turned his head to look out the window according to the gaze of his proprietor. The white clouds were long, the breeze shook the cherry blossoms, and above the vast sky, a great strange bird soared, like a raging flame, interspersed in the clouds as white as snow.
"Divine bird, the wings are terrifying." The middle-aged wealthy businessman couldn't help but exclaim.
"It's kind of like Suzaku."
The snow-clad woman opened her mouth slightly, her eyes moving with the big strange bird, surprise written all over her face, and her eyes flashed with stars one after another. The big monster bird swept from above, pulled up a red-hot afterimage, and flew away from the view of the window. She quickly got up, ran to the eaves, put her hand on her brow, and followed the disappearing figure of the great monster bird.
Seeing this scene, Flower Beard, who had just returned from sending off guests, was taken aback, and with the eyes of the woman in snow, looking at it, Flower Beard suddenly frowned, stared at his confused eyes, and said: "Proprietor, I think this bird is so familiar, but I can't remember where I saw it." ”
"Familiar, familiar?"
The woman in the snowcoat came back to her senses, her face was dyed a light layer of crimson, but she didn't want to lose her temper in front of her maids and attendants, so she slowly put down the hand on her eyebrows, stretched her waist beautifully, and said lightly: "The world is so big, there are thousands of mountains and forests, there are all kinds of strange things, this bird just grows a little bigger, it is not surprising." And you said you had seen it, maybe in a dream. Flowerbeard, you know? ”
"yes, then why is the proprietor still ......?"
"Ahem."
The snow-clad woman coughed.
