The tea brewed in this way is indeed much better than the tea soup with various spices, especially after drinking, there is a faint fragrance in the mouth, which makes people have an endless aftertaste. Li Mingyue was deeply attracted after drinking it only once, ignoring the girl's reserve, and blurted out, "Just what?" ”

Liu Ziqiu said with a smile: "It's just that Liu is just a fish eater, but he can't fish." The girl wants to learn, and she will introduce you to the fisherman in the future. ”

In fact, this statement is half true. These tea leaves were indeed brought from Jiangnan, but the method of frying and finishing was taught to Xie Muyu by Liu Ziqiu. Xie Muyu, like Li Mingyue, is also everyone's daughter, and it is impossible to fry tea by herself, so she taught the method to those personal maids. Those personal maidservants have become the "fishermen" in Liu Ziqiu's mouth, and Liu Ziqiu himself is actually the ancestor of those "fishermen".

"That's right." Li Mingyue didn't feel a little regretful, thought about it, and said, "It turns out that the adults can understand the meaning of what the Minnu just said. ”

Li Mingyue was born in a big family, although she was raised in a deep boudoir and rarely came into contact with strange men, she often reads, and she likes the type of scholar who is gentle and elegant. Li Changfeng's intention of bringing her to see Liu Ziqiu naturally understood, but from the bottom of her heart, she was not very happy. Because in her mind, Liu Ziqiu is just a martial artist. Unlike the women of the steppe, she does not like heroes, on the contrary, heroes seem to her to be synonymous with rudeness.

However, when she tasted the tea brewed according to the method taught by Liu Ziqiu, her perception of Liu Ziqiu changed. Even so, Li Mingyue still looked down on Liu Ziqiu, so she deliberately said such a sentence to make things difficult for Liu Ziqiu and make him ugly on the spot. How do you know that Liu Ziqiu is from the next generation, who has already heard calluses in her ears when she thinks about fishing, not only understands, but also doesn't realize that there is any special intention in her words.

It wasn't until Li Mingyue broke it by herself that Liu Ziqiu was slightly stunned: "The girl is smiling." Liu has also read books for a few years. ”

Li Changfeng watched his granddaughter chatting with Liu Ziqiu with great interest, but Li Changshan couldn't sit still, glared at Li Changfeng fiercely, coughed dryly, and said, "Lord Liu's tea scripture is really refreshing to the old man. It's just that the old man came tonight and asked for something. ”

Liu Ziqiu knew that Li Changshan was going to talk about business, so he also put away his smile and replied: "Old gentleman, please speak, as long as Liu can do it, there will be no disapproval." ”

Li Changshan stroked the three strands of long beard under his chin and said, "Lord Liu wants to go east to conquer Yang Xuangan, but the old man has no opinion. I just hope that Lord Liu will understand the old man's difficulties, can he change the route of the army and not pass through Longxi? ”

Liu Ziqiu let out an "oh" and said, "Why is this? ”

Li Changshan said: "Now that it is the spring ploughing season, the army passes through Longxi, but I am afraid that it will miss the people's agricultural time." ”

Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said, "I can't make a mistake." It only takes three days for our army to pass through Longxi. Spring sowing should be a month away. ”

Li Changshan hesitated for a moment, and then said: "There are quite a lot of Yang Xuangan's spies in Longxi, and the army has passed since then, and the news will inevitably leak. Lord Liu can find another path. ”

Liu Ziqiu smiled and said, "Then ask the old gentleman to show Liu a clear way." ”

Li Changshan gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Liu's military horses can pass through Huining, Pingliang, Anding, and Beidi, and then go straight to Chang'an. ”

Liu Ziqiu laughed and said, "The old gentleman's words are wrong. Liu's military horses passed from Longxi to the people's agricultural time, and from Huining, Pingliang and other places, wouldn't they have missed the people's agricultural time? The old gentleman was only afraid that if Liu was defeated, Yang Xuangan would be angry with the Li family! ”

Li Changshan's face turned red, but he continued: "Lord Liu, as long as your soldiers and horses don't pass through Longxi, the Li family is willing to pay for food!" ”

On this issue, Li Changfeng and Li Changshan maintained a high degree of agreement, and also pointed at Li Mingyue and said: "Lord Liu, this is Xiao Lao'er's granddaughter, if Lord Liu still looks at it, Xiao Lao'er is willing to marry Mingyue to the adult." As long as the adults promise not to use troops in Longxi! ”

Li Mingyue listened to what they were talking about but pulled it on herself, she couldn't help blushing, lowered her head, gently pinched the corners of her clothes with both hands, and didn't dare to come out.

Liu Ziqiu shook his head and said, "Liu has already had a wife. ”

Li Changfeng's face did not change: "It's okay, Mingyue can be a concubine for adults!" ”

Although Li Mingyue has always been regarded by him as the pearl of his palm, he does not hesitate to sacrifice his most beloved granddaughter for the benefit of the family. In this regard, there is indeed no difference between the family and those heroes.

In the past, if Liu Ziqiu was asked to marry a woman other than Gao Xiuer, he would feel embarrassed and immoral. But as time goes by, Liu Ziqiu has become more and more integrated into this era, and he is no longer resistant to the reality of polygamy, and even a little excited. Now, Liu Ziqiu already has Gao Xiu'er, Lin Qiao'er and Mu Duoli, if he hadn't been busy with the war, Tuoba Qianyu should have been married home by him. With Liu Ziqiu's current strength, if he falls in love with a woman, he will even use force to snatch her back. In the Tuoba Department, he made cruel remarks about robbing marriages.

However, so far, the four women who have followed Liu Ziqiu have been voluntary or involuntary, but none of them have any interests. Liu Ziqiu is very disgusted with those things who treat women as gifts and marriage as transactions, just as he has always opposed harmony.

When Li Changfeng even said that he was willing to let his granddaughter be his concubine, Liu Ziqiu waved his hand unceremoniously and sneered: "The two old gentlemen don't need to say it anymore!" Liu has made up his mind. The army passed through Longxi, took Tianshui, conquered the wind, and finally captured Chang'an, which is the best route for Liu to discuss with the generals, and it is also the fastest route, which is absolutely impossible to change! If the Li family insists on obstructing it, Liu doesn't mind bloodbathing Longxi! ”

Liu Ziqiu handed over Longxi County to the Li family to govern by himself, just to paralyze Yang Xuangan's expediency, and when the world is calm, he will naturally return the power of Longxi County to the imperial court. But if the Li family is repeatedly tolerated, the Li family will get carried away, and when the time comes, if they want to take back power, the resistance will be even more intense. Intimidate the Li family now, but you can avoid a bloodbath in Longxi in the future.

Li Mingyue couldn't help but exclaim "ah", and her pretty face turned white with fright. This Liu Ziqiu was still smiling, gentle and kind just now, but in a blink of an eye, he was murderous, and it turned out that his evaluation of the word "rude" was not wrong. Such a person, if he really marries him as a concubine, it will not be precarious. The difference between wife and concubine is just one word, but the status is very different. Li Mingyue couldn't help but feel apprehensive in her heart, and looked at Li Changfeng pitifully, hoping that he would change his mind.

Brother Li Changshan didn't expect Liu Ziqiu to turn his face faster than turning a book, and hurriedly said: "My lord is angry, the old man didn't mean that." ”

Liu Ziqiu's face also softened a little, and he said in a deep voice: "Liu is clumsy, please tell me what the old gentleman means, so as not to cause misunderstanding." ”

Li Changshan's original meaning was to spend money to buy peace, as long as the military disaster was not as good as Longxi, everything else was easy to talk about. Now it's Xiucai who meets the soldiers, and it's unreasonable. Li Changshan had to change his words and said: "The old man's meaning is to hope to ensure the peace of the place as much as possible. ”

"You can rest assured of that. Liu's soldiers have always had strict military discipline, and if someone dares to harass the place, Liu will definitely punish him severely and never forgive! The twenty-four beheadings stipulated in the military law are not decorations! Liu Ziqiu paused, and then said to Li Changfeng, "Miss Li's matter ......."

Without waiting for Liu Ziqiu to finish speaking, Li Changfeng hurriedly said: "Lord Liu, what the old man said is like water spilled out, and there is no reason to take it back." After the old man returned to Longxi, he immediately ordered someone to prepare a dowry for Mingyue. Mingyue will stay in Xiping today and serve the adults. ”

The daughter of the family is a concubine, which is already difficult to talk about. Now there is no ceremony, and Jiaodidi, a yellow flower girl, is left here, and there is no longer the demeanor of the family. In fact, Li Changfeng didn't want to do this, but Liu Ziqiu shouted and shouted at every turn, which completely frightened the old gentleman. Those big families like intrigues, power schemes, talking about various interests, and playing all kinds of small tricks, but they don't like force. But when force is in front of them, they are often the first to be intimidated. As for the backbone, it's just their mouths.

Li Mingyue's heart was cold, it's over, it's over, it's over, if it falls into the hands of this barbarian guy, I don't know what it will be like to be tortured.

Liu Ziqiu suddenly laughed and said, "Old man, you misunderstood what Liu meant." It is said that the twisted melon is not sweet, according to Liu, Miss Li has no good impression of Liu, rather than letting Miss Li suffer with Liu in the future, it is better to make a break as soon as possible! ”

Li Mingyue was quite surprised, secretly relieved, but a little disappointed. The dignified eldest lady of the Li family was actually ignored, and this feeling didn't seem to be very good.

Li Changfeng picked up the family's shelf at this moment, shook his head and said: "My Li family will do what they say, Mingyue is just introverted, as long as she enters Lord Liu's door, she will never dare to disobey the adult in the slightest, and I hope the adult will not worry too much." ”

Li Mingyue's heart hung in her throat again.

Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said, "There is no need to discuss this matter anymore." I asked the old gentleman to stay in Xiping for a day, and set off with Liu early the morning after tomorrow. When the time comes, the two old gentlemen can also see with their own eyes what kind of army Liu's army is. ”

Li Mingyue completely relaxed at this time.

Li Changshan frowned: "I don't know why the adults have to wait until the day after tomorrow to set off?" ”

Liu Ziqiu smiled: "Because Liu has to wait for someone." ”
