Chapter 192: Coastal, Desheng!
After Li Mingxiu finished speaking, he got out of the car first, but Luo Yuan and Qin Baichuan were stunned at the same time. In terms of position, Li Desheng is the helper, Li Mingxiu is the deputy helper, and in terms of personal feelings, Li Desheng is Li Mingxiu's father-in-law, even if Li Desheng is pointed out by his husband, Li Mingxiu does not seem to be able to use the word "old pervert" to describe him. Don't...... How good is the relationship between father and son?
"Deputy Gang Leader Li, this is ......" Qin Baichuan had never been to the Li Mansion and couldn't see the doorway, but Luo Yuan frowned after getting out of the carriage, this is not the Li Mansion at all.
"Steward Luo, take it easy, this is Qunfang Hall, built by the sea, most of the time Desheng Gong lives here, drinking and having fun with my many stepmothers." Li Mingxiu led Qin Baichuan and Luo Yuan to the door, and after showing a token, the strong man guarding the door pushed open the heavy stone door.
Qin Baichuan took a closer look, the walls of this courtyard are all made of bluestone one meter thick, and the walls are about two meters high, not to mention that this era is cold weapons, even if it is placed in the modern era with guns and artillery, it will take a lot of effort to break these walls.
Li Mingxiu was a little surprised when he saw that Qin Baichuan's face did not change, and explained with a smile: "Don't be too careful, the people who live here are the relatives of Duke Desheng, the backbone of the coastal army, and they can't be cautious." ”
"Don't worry much, if Desheng Gong wants to deal with the two of us who are powerless, he doesn't have to bother much." Qin Baichuan was very calm, all the buildings in this group of Fangtang were very exquisite, and the entire courtyard was divided into different communities, and some of the buildings were actually built across the sea, which showed the financial resources of the coastal army.
Li Mingxiu took them up to the small bridge near the sea, and after almost half an hour's effort, they came to an artificially built island, which had only a huge bluestone building, and dozens of black-clothed people around the island were waiting solemnly, holding strong bows and crossbows in their hands, ready to deal with any unexpected situation at any time.
After the check, directly enter the main hall, the main hall decoration is antique, there are calligraphy and paintings hanging on the stone walls on both sides, in the middle is a stone table with a length of two meters, behind the stone table is a row of bookshelves, and Lu Shi's master painted "Waves Crashing on the Shore" is hanging in the center of the bookshelf, you can see it at a glance when you come in from the door.
At this time, behind the stone table sat a burly man, dressed in a literati robe, slightly bowed, this man had a square face and a wide mouth, a dignified appearance, and his dark skin had a majesty of its own. With a stone table in the middle and five tables on each side, there are two empty seats for the main and guest seats, and five or six people sit separately.
Seeing Li Mingxiu coming in, the man behind the stone table spoke, and his voice was like thunder: "Manager Luo, Minister Qin, Li has a lot of miscellaneous affairs, and he couldn't go to the branch of Splendid Villa to visit him in person, please don't blame, don't blame." ”
"Duke Desheng, you are willing to give a big face to the Splendid Villa, Luo Kite is humble, how dare you blame?" Needless to ask, this must be the leader of Li Da who is in Anyang.
"Steward Luo won't blame, but I'm afraid that Minister Qin will secretly slander." Li Desheng's original interest was only on Qin Baichuan, so he changed his words and pointed directly at Qin Baichuan.
Luo Yuan frowned secretly, a little anxious in her heart, but she could only shut up knowingly. You must be extremely cautious when dealing with such big people, on the surface, Li Desheng's words have no special meaning, but if you investigate carefully, it has a deep meaning. If Qin Baichuan is like himself, he replied "don't dare", then this is just a polite remark, and it can't show Qin Baichuan or the means of Splendid Villa, if Qin Baichuan answers that he has indeed had a "belly slander", then Desheng Gong's face will definitely not be able to pass.
Luo Yuan was pondering, but heard that Qin Baichuan had already spoken: "What Desheng Gong said is extremely true, Qin Mou has indeed slandered Desheng Gong. ”
"Oh?" Desheng Gong's face sank, and several people present also looked at Qin Baichuan, quietly waiting for his next step.
"However, it is not that Qin is slandered by Desheng Gong for a long time, nor is it that he failed to go to the Anyang branch of Splendid Villa." Qin Baichuan smiled calmly: "It's that the belly slanders the Duke of Desheng is really a person with great luck, he raises his arms and exhales, Anyang gathers shadows, the name of chivalry is spread all over the world, proficient in calligraphy and painting, and Qunfang is on the side...... Tsk, fame, career, silver, beauty...... One of the four is enough to be born, but Desheng Gong is all included, you say, should we let us slander the atmosphere of Desheng Gong? ”
After listening to Qin Baichuan's words, several people present pursed their lips disdainfully, Ciao, I thought this thing was going to say something, MD, didn't you make a fart in the end? However, this sycophant is also justified, and no one can find the slightest fault.
Luo Kite also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, forgetting that what this guy is best at is fooling people.
"Sit!" Li Desheng pointed to the guest seat.
Luo Yuan saluted and thanked her, and sat in the host and guest seat, and because of her position, Qin Baichuan sat under her.
"The hall masters of all the halls of the coastal army will return to the Anyang headquarters in the near future, and although most of the large and small affairs in the gang are handled by Mingxiu, the old man always has to meet them." Li Desheng seemed to be talking to himself.
"Luo Kite woke up, there are only a few questions when I came here today, and I will leave after asking, and I will not stay long." Luo Kite's posture is extremely low.
"Ying Tiannan." Li Desheng ignored Luo Kite and roared lowly.
"In!" Ying Tiannan was sitting near the door, heard the helper call his name, and hurriedly got up.
"I already know the matter between Minister Qin and Qianjin Gambling House, it was a misunderstanding, and it is over." Li Desheng said in a deep voice: "Minister Qin is a good friend of my coastal army, and if he goes to the Qianjin Gambling House in the future, his courtesy will be the same as mine." ”
"Understood." Ying Tiannan was somewhat aggrieved, but the gift given by Qin Baichuan meant a lot to Desheng Gong, and he would not be able to stand up to the wind as a working boy.
"Minister Qin, are you satisfied with this?" Li Desheng looked at Qin Baichuan and said with a smile.
"It's better to settle the grievance, Qin doesn't dare to expect so much, I just hope that the wind in Jiangling is not too big, if you into the river and drown, it will be troublesome." Qin Baichuan seemed to be joking, but he vaguely conveyed it to Li Desheng, when he was angry with Tiannan, your people threatened me first.
Mr. Qin laughed, he didn't know Mr.'s methods before, so he made a lot of nonsense, and asked Mr. not to keep it in mind. Tiannan begged for food on the territory of the Qiushan Army, and asked Mr. to take care of it in the future. Li Desheng had no intention of dealing with Qin Baichuan, and Ying Tiannan had to sell favors.
"That's it." Li Desheng did things neatly, and then spoke: "Manager Luo, Minister Qin, for the sake of Lord Lu's "Waves Crashing on the Shore", the old man can answer your three questions or help you do three things, once you think about it, you can speak." ”
"Desheng Gong, Luo Yuan is a female streamer and should not participate arbitrarily, this opportunity will be left to Minister Qin." In just a few words, Luo Yuan realized that he didn't seem to be able to handle this matter at all, and immediately threw all his heart to Qin Baichuan.
"Okay, just ask." Li Desheng crossed his arms and looked at Qin Baichuan.
"Huh? Desheng Gong, are you mistaken? Qin Baichuan showed an extremely surprised expression, and said with a wry smile: "When I came to Anyang, the lord of the village instructed me to see Desheng Gong no matter what, and let me know the momentum and means of the heroes in this world. Steward Luo and I are here purely to make friends with Desheng Gong, chat, and drink tea, but there is nothing I want to ask you, let alone bother you for help. ”
"No?" Not to mention Li Desheng, even Luo Kite was stunned.
It is no secret that Chen Heming and Steward Zhang of the branch hall are missing among the major forces, and Luo Yuan has been inquiring about the news every day in the past few days, how can Li Desheng not know their intentions? But now Qin Baichuan said that he came to see Li Desheng just to "chat and drink tea", this is the situation?
"Minister Qin, who are you to be the Duke of Desheng? He has a lot of opportunities, how can he have time to chat and drink tea with you? The first person sitting under Li Mingxiu snorted coldly: "If there is nothing to do, leave quickly, we still have important things to discuss." ”
"Desheng Gongli is known to everyone in the world, how can I not hear of it?" Qin Baichuan smiled obscenely: "Of course he didn't have time to chat with me and drink tea, but I bought his time with Master Lu's paintings." Desheng Gong, what do you think is the value of Master Lu's paintings? If it is used to exchange hours with you, how long can you talk to me? ”
"Lord Lu's paintings are rare treasures, but you use the old man's time to measure the value of his old man's paintings, hum, I'm afraid you are the only one from ancient times to the present." Li Desheng obviously felt that Qin Baichuan had defiled the picture scroll.
"In the eyes of Desheng Gong, this painting is a rare treasure, but in the eyes of someone like Qin who doesn't understand elegance, it is better to change something beneficial. To tell you the truth, if it weren't for the admiration of Desheng Gong's personality, I would have taken this painting out for auction. Qin Baichuan's smile was so cute that people couldn't get angry at all: "Desheng Gong still clearly told me, how many hours can this painting be exchanged for you?" ”
"You can get as much as you want!" Li Desheng didn't have a temper at all, and snorted: "If Minister Qin is willing, you can live in Qunfang Hall for a year and a half with this painting, and if you can invite the owner of the scroll, I can even worship you as a brother!" ”
"Lord Lu is in Anyang, and I was eating steamed buns with him yesterday." Qin Baichuan raised his eyebrows: "If Duke Desheng is interested, will I introduce it to you next time?" ”
"Can you move?" Li Desheng was a little surprised, his intelligence system did investigate what Qin Baichuan said, but he thought that Lu Shigao was just a little interested in Qin Baichuan, but it was not Qin Baichuan who could invite - after all, the identity gap was there, even if he Li Desheng couldn't see anyone.
"Old Man Lu doesn't seem to be that difficult to touch, right?" In Qin Baichuan's opinion, Lu Shigao has no shelf, he should be able to be invited, why does Li Desheng think it seems to be difficult?
"Forget it, even if you have that ability, I will always be a gangster, and seeing Lord Lu will only ruin his reputation." Li Desheng stared at Qin Baichuan for a long time, and finally shook his head weakly.
