Zhao Chengxiao said with a smile: "I already knew about this, and I have already chosen ten swords." As he spoke, he got up and shouted outside the pavilion: "Bring them all in, so that the adults can also take a look." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone agreed, carried the things that Zhao Chengxiao had sorted out, and put them on the stone table in the middle of the pavilion.

Qiu Yizhi looked carefully and saw that among this pile of things, there were ten Japanese knives and two Japanese armor, so he lifted a Japanese knife, took it out and looked at it, but said angrily: "Brother Zhao, you are also a person who understands blades, why is this knife and steel fire ordinary, and it is not a good knife!" Look at these two pieces of armor, they are all made of bamboo pieces, and there is not a single or two irons on them, isn't the strong bow and crossbow pierced with one blow? ”

Zhao Chengxiao scratched his head and smiled innocently: "My lord, this is what you don't understand." Didn't you say that these things were used for Liu Jiedu to give gifts? I think it's just right, you haven't given a gift, but you don't understand the exquisiteness. ”

Zhao Chengxiao has always obeyed Qiu Yizhi's words, and has never spoken to him like this, which makes Qiu Yizhi inevitably feel a little uncomfortable to hear, and he was about to say a few words of anger, but he saw Lin Shuhan beside him shaking a folding fan while saying: "My lord, with your identity, it has always been someone else who gives you things, where do you know the doorway to give gifts?" Why don't you listen to what General Zhao has to say? ”

Qiu Yizhi looked at the weird smile on Lin Shuhan's face, and asked patiently: "So Brother Zhao knows how to pay attention to gift-giving?" ”

Zhao Chengxiao smiled honestly again, but spoke politely: "I understand a little." Adults know that I have been the king of the mountain for a few years, and the surrounding cottages always have to walk around, there are comings and goings, and giving gifts is also commonplace. ”

"Humph!" Qiu Yizhi laughed disdainfully, "Zi said, 'It's rude to come and go, and it's rude to come and go', I didn't expect you to be a thief, and you are so exquisite." ”

"Of course. If you grab something, if you don't give it to others, it will always attract people's eyes. Even if it is not a challenge to come and go, it will stumble you today and drag you back tomorrow, and it will annoy you to death. ”

Although Zhao Chengxiao's words were simple, they were also reasonable, which made Qiu Yizhi put away his contempt, and listened to him continue: "Therefore, when it comes to this gift, it is not the word practical, but the more rare and gorgeous, the better." Take these knives and two sets of armor as an example, although the edge is not the best, and the armor is not strong, fortunately, they have complete scabbards and handles, and the colors are gorgeous, so it is best to enjoy them at home. ”

"Then there are always people who know how to do it, right? If you tell them to see the way, wouldn't you be laughing and generous? Qiu Yizhi asked again.

Zhao Chengxiao smiled and said: "The adult is wrong again, how can you send something to an insider?" Just like sending Wei Chi Daxia in the capital, it is best to send a few pieces of Mr. Lin's handwriting; If you send Mr. Lin, it is the most important thing to send a few delicate knives for him to play with. If it is the other way around, send Wei Chi Daxia a few knives, one is that Yu Chi Daxia has his own competent blade, and the other is that he must have many weapons at home, and then it will be cumbersome, not to mention that if he sends a bad one, he will be seen by a big expert, but he will laugh and be generous. ”

When Zhao Chengxiao said this, Lin Shuhan also echoed: "General Zhao's words are reasonable. If Lord Qiu wants to give me a gift in the future, even if the light and delicate knives are sent, Lin will always have a useful place whether it is cutting paper or carving seals. Don't just go to the street and buy a few big characters and send them over, telling me that I don't know if it's better to light a fire or put a corner of the table...... and then laugh out loud.

Although Qiu Yizhi was ridiculed by Uncle Lin, his words were very interesting and witty, which made him laugh along.

After laughing for a while, Qiu Yizhi saw that the hour was not early, so he said: "Okay, listening to Brother Zhao's words today is better than reading ten books for me." I watched Brother Zhao sweep the battlefield, clean up the body, and count the belongings overnight, I'm afraid he is extremely tired, right? Now that the situation is a little settled, Brother Zhao should go and rest first. These things are put here first, no one dares to come to the barracks here to find death and steal, Brother Zhao, please rest assured. I will be free two days after tomorrow, and then I will give it to Liu Qing, the envoy of the festival. ”

Although Qiu Yizhi said this, he didn't actually take this matter to heart.

In the next two days, he entrusted the military affairs to Zhao Chengxiao, but he did not think of meeting Liu Qing, the envoy of Jiedu, but summoned up the courage to invite Wen Lingjiao to play in Jinling City together.

Wen Lingjiao is not one of those twisted and pinched boudoir ladies, and she has already fallen in love with Qiu Yizhi, so she agreed without hesitation when she heard him come to ask, and she just took this opportunity to relieve the sorrows in her heart these days. It's just that she has exhausted her love with the maid He'er, so she didn't take her to serve by her side.

Qiu Yizhi, together with this time, is the third time to come to Jinling City, and the cultural relics in the city are already very familiar. So he took Wen Lingjiao to Qinhuai River first, then to Confucius Temple, then to Yanziji, and then to Xinjiekou and Sanshankou where they were prosperous and rich, and by the way, he told Wen Lingjiao about what he had experienced in these places.

Wen Lingjiao played with great interest, and listened to Qiu Yizhi's vivid commentary with great interest, letting go of all the previous worries and worries, and enjoying herself in Jinling, the land of gold powder of the Six Dynasties.

On this day, the two were boating on Xuanwu Lake, but they heard someone shouting on an arched bridge on the shore: "Come here, come over!" ”

Qiu Yizhi looked fixedly, but it was Wang Lao Wu who came with the army.

Wang Lao Wu was in charge of the work of heralding orders in the army, so Qiu Yizhi expected that he would come to pass the word, and there must be something urgent, so he rowed the boat to the side of the bridge with some twists and turns, raised his head and said: "It turned out to be Lao Wu, what are you calling in a hurry to come over with a white face?" ”

Wang Lao Wu opened his broken mouth and said: "The little one knows that the adults are playing with Miss Wen, and it is the most disappointing to disturb the adults at this time." But Zhao Tou'er prefers to call the villain to call the adult...... Adults also know that Zhao Tou is a small direct boss, and he is very good at doing things for others, and he can't be offended. That's why the little one came over, and it broke the adult's Yaxing, don't blame me if the adult wants to blame! ”

Qiu Yizhi heard Wang Lao Wu say a lot of bits and pieces, but he didn't explain the reason for the matter clearly, so he was already angry, and hurriedly interrupted him: "Old Wu, you have something to say quickly, what did Zhao Chengxiao tell me to do?" ”

"Oh, in fact, it's not Zhao Tou'er looking for you, it's what Liu Jiedu is looking for an adult, and if he can't find it, he finds Zhao Tou'er, but he asks Zhao Tou'er to look for an adult." Wang Lao Wu babbled again, "If you want me to say, Zhao Tou'er is a subordinate of the adult, and he has never listened to the adult alone. What kind of chicken feather is this Liu Jiedu? Dare to order Zhao Tou to do things. Unexpectedly, Zhao Tou was good-tempered, so he agreed. ”

Qiu Yizhi listened to Wang Lao Wu's brainless words, but he also heard the reason for the matter, so he said: "Wang Lao Wu, don't talk nonsense, this Liu Jiedu is a dignified third-grade general, and he is also a great character!" But since it was Zhao Chengxiao who asked you to come to Zhao and me, did you say where did you want me to go? ”

"Said, spoken. It was said that Liu Jiedu was already waiting for the lord in Mr. Lin's manor, and there was also the first Qincha in the capital to announce the decree...... "Wang Lao Wudao."

"What? Governors? Qiu Yizhi seemed a little surprised when he heard this, and then complained, "Old Five, why don't you know what to prioritize?" Didn't say something so important earlier? ”

Saying that, Qiu Yizhi casually threw the cable on the boat to Wang Lao Wu and asked him to tow the boat to the shore, and said to Wen Lingjiao on the boat: "Liu Qing called me, I can't take care of him, but the emperor's decree to come to the imperial history of the Qin mission should not be neglected, it seems that today's Miss Yaxing will always be disturbed." Can I make up for it later? ”

Wen Lingjiao is not an unreasonable person, she smiled and nodded: "My lord is to do the right thing, please do everything." I'll go home on my own. ”

Qiu Yizhi was relieved when he heard this, and it happened that Wang Lao Wu had already dragged the cruise ship to the shore, so he stepped on the embankment, made a gesture to Wen Lingjiao, and followed Wang Lao Wu to Lin Shuhan's manor.

Wang Lao Wu's mouth is fast and his feet are faster, Qiu Yizhi rode a sweaty BMW that traveled thousands of miles a day all the way through the streets and alleys to Lin Shuhan's manor, Wang Lao Wu was not much slower, and when Qiu Yizhi reined in the horse, he had reached out to take the reins, helped Qiu Yi to get off the horse, and led the horse to the stable to enjoy the forage.

Lin Shuhan's manor Qiu Yizhi is very familiar, knowing that since it is a messenger from the imperial court, even if Lin Shuhan is disdainful in his heart, he will open the atrium to greet him for the sake of his face, so he walked all the way to the central hall along the moss path.

Before approaching the middle hall, a housekeeper in the manor came forward and said to Qiu Yizhi: "My lord, my young master has been drinking tea with a few guests in the middle hall, so I will wait for the adults to go." ”

Qiu Yizhi nodded and motioned to the housekeeper to lead the way.

However, when he approached the two-zhang high hall, he didn't hear the slightest sound of talking, as if it was an empty room, Qiu Yizhi felt strange, so he asked the housekeeper next to him: "Is Mr. Lin really in it?" ”

The housekeeper bowed his head and said: "My young master has a big temper, since he ordered it like this, I don't dare to ask in detail, isn't it, don't you know if the son goes over to see it?" ”

Qiu Yizhi thought about it reasonably, so he left the old housekeeper alone, and slowly walked to the door of the middle hall from the side, and looked inside, but saw Lin Shuhan, Zhao Chengxiao, Liu Qing, and another person with a very familiar face but couldn't think of who it was, and the four of them were sitting in the hall drinking tea. The four of them bowed their heads and were silent, or closed their eyes to recuperate, or concentrated on drinking tea, or shaking their heads and groaning, but none of them spoke, making the whole hall as silent as a cemetery in the middle of the night.

Qiu Yizhi felt funny, and he didn't announce it loudly, so he walked into the house, waved at everyone, and said with a smile: "It turns out that there are really people here, I heard the silence in this hall, and I thought it was Mr. Lin's housekeeper who scolded me!" ”

Lin Shuhan, Zhao Chengxiao, and Liu Qing didn't answer, but it was the person who didn't know each other who got up first, saluted Qiuyi and said, "Your Highness Yi, don't you know the little one?" ”

Qiu Yizhi was stunned when he heard it: Since he calls himself "His Royal Highness Yi", it must be the old Youyan Dao's background, and the officers who want to come to the old Youyan Dao have been promoted since the king of Youyan ascended to the throne and became the emperor.

So Qiu Yizhi settled down, carefully identified the man's eyebrows, and suddenly laughed "haha": "Shi Wei, when did you, the pimped turtle man, become a messenger?" But now it's not what it used to be, I'm just a small seven-pin county magistrate, but I want to kowtow to you and say goodbye! ”
