Qiu Yizhi saw that He'er was still looking good, so she said: "He'er, Miss Wen has been gone for some days, and I miss her very much...... Well...... Are you doing well here? ”

He'er replied, "I've lived here before, and everything is familiar. Sister Wu is also good to me, and she doesn't let me do my work. I'm a little girl, and I can't do without work in my eyes, so I can help and do some things, and my heart can be more or less steady. ”

Qiu Yizhi heard her speak a little, sighed in a low voice, and said, "Before Miss Wen leaves, ask me to take good care of you." I think you can't be a girl for the rest of your life, you always have to find a background, right? ”

He'er gritted her teeth, nodded and said, "I'm very happy that Childe can think for me like this." ”

Qiu Yizhi licked his lips, and then said: "You have colluded too deeply with the Tianzun Sect before, if you stay here in the Central Plains, I am afraid that you will continue to cut this mess...... Now there's a chance to send you out, I don't know if you're willing to do it? ”

He'er was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "What is the opportunity?" As soon as the words came out, He'er felt that she was too anxious, and hurriedly said, "It's all up to the son to arrange ......."

"No, no, that's not what I said." Qiu Yizhi, "It's up to me to say it or not, it's up to you whether to promise or not, I never force others to make things difficult, your own affairs, in the end, you still have to make your own decisions." ”

He'er has been an orphan since she was a child, and she was adopted and raised by the Tianzun Sect, although she was raised by the old sect leader, and she had a very face-saving status in the eyes of ordinary sect members, but she either listened to the old sect leader, Wen Honghui, or Wen Lingjiao in her life, and she really never made her own decisions for a while.

Therefore, when He'er heard Qiu Yizhi's words "make up your own mind", her heart was excited, and a sense of accomplishment that she could control her own destiny in her own hands spontaneously arose, this feeling was so comfortable and so strange, like waves beating against her crisp heart tightly wrapped in a hard shell.

Finally, in He'er's two apricot eyes, two bean-sized tears rolled down, her legs involuntarily weakened, and she knelt on the ground with a "poof", whimpering: "Childe, I have never heard such words, and I will not make my own decisions...... Whole...... It's all up to the child's arrangement, ......" said, choked up, and couldn't continue.

Qiu Yizhi saw He'er so excited, and suddenly thought that he was not the same as He'er in front of him, every move had to be at the mercy of the emperor, even if he wanted to retreat to the mountains and forests and not ask about the world, it became a thing that was neither desirable nor hopeful.

So he sighed and said, "People live in this world, fame is fake, and profit is also false, only freedom and happiness are real." In your life, you are lucky and lucky, and unfortunate and unlucky. But today you have a chance to get rid of all the shackles you had before, and you have to take advantage of it! ”

Qiu Yizhi was talking, but he saw the old man in Lin Shuhan's manor running quickly, and said in his ear: "Son, there is a person named Li Shengjie outside, saying that you invited him, I don't know if it's true or not?" ”

Qiu Yizhi listened, the corners of his mouth raised, and he said to He'er with a smile: "He'er, you get up quickly, wipe your tears - look, the makeup on your face is crying, go down to make up for it first, your freedom is here now." Then he said to the janitor, "Yes, yes." Li Shengjie was invited by me, you welcome him in, he is my honored guest, you can't slack off. ”

Qiu Yizhi has lived here for a long time, and the Zhuang Ding in the manor knows his relationship with Lin Shuhan, so he regards him as half a master, and he retires after agreeing.

Li Shengjie was a young man, and before anyone arrived, the voice arrived first: "Hahaha, although my brother's manor is not easy to find, it is really a good place." Those lords and generals of Fusang Country were bent on learning the rules of the Han Dynasty, and they were all arranged in accordance with the Han style. Looking at this garden today, I realized that those Japanese people had only learned some fur and fur details, how could there be such a solemn atmosphere here. The elder brother looked very arrogant, but he didn't expect that he would really enjoy happiness behind his back. ”

Qiu Yizhi was about to explain, but when he saw Lin Shuhan slowly walking with a folding fan in the distance, he smiled and said, "Brother Xian, this is a mistake." The foolish brother is a poor ghost, and he doesn't know what he is busy with all day long, where is the time to run such a manor? Look, the owner of the manor is over there! ”

Li Shengjie turned his head to look and saw that it was Lin Shuhan coming, so he saluted him - he had seen Lin Shuhan several times, and he also knew that he was a resourceful person, and he was quite convinced by him.

Lin Shuhan and the others were still standing and talking, so he led them to the pavilion to sit down, and said: "My lord is really a dove occupying the magpie's nest, this is clearly my Zhuangzi, why do you meet people and do things here?" Lin is just a poor student in the end, and the adults really didn't take me seriously. ”

Qiu Yizhi knew that he was joking, so he also joked: "Today is my brother Li Shengjie knocking on the door to ask for a meeting, if I don't agree, Mr. will refuse him to the door?" Li Shengjie has also rescued us a few times in Mingzhou and Jinling, Mr. is too ruthless, right? ”

Lin Shuhan smiled when he heard this, and said, "Of course, the young ship owner is an exception, but others may not. In the future, if there are any idle people who dare to come in without permission, I will personally drive him out with a broom. He changed his words and said, "I just don't know why the young ship owner came to my humble house today?" ”

Li Shengjie scratched his scalp and replied, "It was my brother who called me to come and said that there was something to tell me, and I don't know what it is!" ”

Qiu Yizhi wanted to talk to Li Shengjie about wanting him to bring He'er to Fusang, but now He'er went to touch up her makeup and was not in front of him, so he didn't know how to lead the conversation to this matter for a while.

At this moment, Wu Ruofei personally brought a tea tray with three bowls of freshly brewed tea on it, and Nana walked into the pavilion and put the tea bowl in front of the three of them.

This Wu Ruofei also got on Li Shengjie's ship, but when he got on the ship, in order to avoid suspicion, he immediately went to the cabin to rest, so it was the first time for Li Shengjie to see Wu Ruofei's appearance at close range, and a pair of eyes were immediately attracted tightly.

Qiu Yizhi saw Li Shengjie's intoxicated appearance, hurriedly coughed lightly, and asked, "Brother Xian, what are you looking at?" ”

"Oh!" Li Shengjie seemed to wake up from a dream and said, "This young lady is peerless, and the younger brother has never seen such an extraordinary woman in his life, so he is a little out of shape." But I don't know if this young lady has a name? ”

Wu Ruofei heard Li Shengjie's praise like this, and covered his mouth and "giggled" and laughed hesitantly.

Qiu Yizhi replied for her: "This girl's surname is Wu, if the kid is not, it is Mr. Lin's inner son." The virtuous brother is also a hero in Dongying, how can he not see the best beauty? ”

Li Shengjie replied: "I have also seen some, I have seen it on the side of the Wa Kingdom, and I have also seen it here in Dahan." It's just that those beauties can't compare to this Miss Ruofei. Oh, since I am Mr. Lin's insider, then I am really disrespectful, and I ask for forgiveness......" As he spoke, Li Shengjie got up and waved at Uncle Lin.

Lin Shuhan didn't help, and said: "Zi said: 'Be as good as you can be, and be as good as you can'." Beauty naturally wants to be beautiful. The young shipowner is a straightforward person, and when he sees a beautiful woman and a beautiful thing, of course he should praise it to the fullest. It's much better than those fake Taoists and real villains who sit upright, full of benevolence and morality, but are full of male thieves and prostitutes behind their backs. ”

Li Shengjie grew up in the Japanese Kingdom since he was a child, but he was familiar with grammar, and Lin Shuhan's words were quoted from the classics, so that the young ship owner with a bright nature could not understand them all, and while savoring, he picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.

Who expected this sip of tea to be in his stomach, Li Shengjie's eyes suddenly lit up, he took another sip, and said, "This ...... Why is this tea so delicious? ”

Qiu Yizhi also took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "What? Isn't there any tea in the Wa Kingdom? ”

Li Shengjie said: "Yes, yes, but it's not so good." This tea is light and timeless, I'm afraid that in Dahan, it is also the best tea, right? ”

Wu Ruofei said: "Is this tea...... It is also a new rain Longjing this year, which is considered a good tea, but it does not deserve the word 'excellent'...... It is rare for a few shipowners to praise them so much. ”

Lin Shuhan said: "This is not surprising. Tea trees, mulberry trees and other tree species, are strictly restricted from leaving the country, even if someone can steal a few trees to take out of the country, it will not be a good variety, and naturally there will be no good tea produced locally. As for the tea in the Han Dynasty, the tea farmers sold it to the tea merchants, the tea merchants sold it to the maritime merchants, and the maritime merchants sent it to the Wa Kingdom, and the new tea became old tea, how could it still have such a good taste? ”

Li Shengjie listened attentively, and he didn't realize that half of a bowl of tea had been drunk, and then he praised: "Don't hide it from you, I have always disliked those who chew on words, but I don't want to have knowledge everywhere, even this tea has such a reason, and it is not in vain to listen to Mr. Lin's teachings today." ”

Qiu Yizhi continued: "Mr. Lin is not just someone else's teacher, and it can be regarded as a great benefit for the virtuous brother to listen to his words." ”

Li Shengjie nodded and said: "It's a pity that my family is at sea at all, and after all, I want to drift to the sea, if only I could drink more tea here and listen to more words." ”

Speaking of which, Qiu Yizhi suddenly remembered the emperor's hint, and said: "Speaking of which, it seems that the emperor intends to incorporate your Li family's fleet into a formal official army and naval division, and it is the establishment of the Imperial Forest Army under the personal command of the emperor. You are late in getting some imperial food, and you have a positive result......"

Hearing this, Li Shengjie's expression suddenly became solemn, and he said: "Is it that the emperor's words cannot be disobeyed, otherwise he will commit the crime of bullying the king, and the only way to go is to be beheaded?" ”

Qiu Yizhi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and replied: "That's right, but the emperor today is not the kind of tyrannical and perverse lord, as long as you are reasonable, the emperor's words may not necessarily not change his ways." ”

Li Shengjie said: "Let's put it this way, I don't want to be co-opted by the imperial court, and I also have the reason." Our Li family's fleet, a nail and a piece of wood, were all put together bit by bit by my father, how can there be a reason that the emperor will be all incorporated in one sentence? Besides, my dad is still in Japan, and I don't dare to make decisions about such a big matter without him. And after this fleet is absorbed, why should my Li family dominate the sea, such a thing, I'm afraid my father won't agree to it. ”

Qiu Yizhi heard that Li Shengjie's reasons were valid, but he also knew in his heart that the emperor was deeply moved by the power of the cannons on Li Shengjie's ship, and his intention to incorporate his fleet was very firm, and Li Shengjie's reasons might not be able to convince this supreme lord.

But I heard Li Shengjie add again: "What's so great about the emperor?" It's a big deal that I don't want official titles and knighthoods, and then I become a pirate and smuggler, what's the big deal? ”

Li Shengjie said this arrogantly, and even Qiu Yizhi couldn't help but secretly applaud him.
