Chapter 20: A Cup of Great Grandmasters.
"You're Bai Yue."
A slightly shrill voice sounded in the ears of the swarthy man, and the swarthy man raised his head just in time to see the old eunuch's white and beardless cheeks, and a pair of eyes like an abyss made people shudder.
"Come with us, don't let Your Majesty and the general wait for a long time," the old eunuch paused and said with a smile, "Your Majesty also said that he would reward you well." β
Everyone in the hall looked surprised when they heard this, what was in the brocade box, so that a mere child of the Bai family was favored by His Majesty and the general.
Bai Yan quietly looked at the back of the swarthy man leaving, his fists clenched, his nails sinked into the tender flesh, his eyes flashed with hatred, he didn't know how long he had been preparing for today, but he didn't expect to be ruined by a broken brocade box.
This person who was originally favored should be him!
β¦β¦
"Bai Yue, see Your Majesty." The swarthy man knelt.
The man in fancy clothes looked at this swarthy man again, if this swarthy man had given him an interesting feeling before, then now it was incredible.
Why is he valued by that one?
"Flat, don't be restrained," the man in the fancy dress smiled slightly and held up the swarthy man, "Brother Bai, we meet again." β
The swarthy man smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, why bother with your ministers, Your Majesty is a king, Bai Yue is a minister, how can you be called a brother." β
The man in Chinese clothes shook his head slightly, "Although there is a difference between monarchs and ministers, but you are also people, you and I are both Qin people, that is, siblings, why not call brothers and sisters?" β
The swarthy man was silent, no more.
The old man on the side looked at the swarthy man and said, "Who gave you this brocade box?" β
The swarthy man was slightly stunned, puzzled and said, "This brocade box is mine, and no one else can give it." β
The old man's eyes froze, slightly angry, but were interrupted by Tong Zhu's gentle laughter.
"It seems that the general's memory is not very good, but at the banquet, this little brother said that this brocade box was his, and the September tea and tea foam in this brocade box were left over from him and a friend."
The old man glared at Tong Zhu angrily, is there such a mess?
The swarthy man replied, "Just as my father-in-law said." β
However, to his surprise, the old man did not seem to be disgusted with the leftover tea foam, and even his eyes stayed on the black tea foam from time to time.
Could it be that this black tea foam is really different?
The swarthy man still doesn't believe that there is anything special about this black tea foam, after all, this brocade box has always been by his side, and it is impossible for someone to change this brocade box without him noticing.
Unless?
The swarthy man hurriedly shook his head, how could it be that Brother Su could make a difference with just a wave of his hand.
β¦β¦
"Can your friend tell him his name?" The old eunuch asked.
For some reason, Bai Yue felt the caution in the old eunuch's tone, and even the eyes of the man in fancy clothes and the old man in armor were looking at him, but his demeanor was a little cautious.
Although Bai Yue was extremely puzzled in his heart, he still said honestly, "Su Ye." β
What he didn't expect was that the three of them began to frown at the same time, and the old man in armor even questioned directly, "Are you sure you heard correctly?" How could it be surnamed Su? β
The innocent Bai Yue smiled bitterly, "I had a good relationship with Brother Su that night, and my name has always been Brother Su, and Brother Su has not refuted it, so I think I should not be mistaken." β
The side hall fell silent all of a sudden, and Bai Yue stood aside at a loss, coming with a confused face, and it was estimated that he was about to go back with a confused face.
The man in the fancy dress frowned and asked Tong Zhu, "In the past thousand years, besides Grandpa, has anyone else broken that boundary?" β
Tong Zhu smiled bitterly, "Yes, there is, but there is no surname Su." β
Hearing Tong Zhu's answer, the man's brows furrowed even deeper. After pacing back and forth for a few steps, he looked up at the swarthy man again and asked, "Do you remember the look, shape, length, and important characteristics of your friend?" β
This series of questions overwhelmed Bai Yue, and he could only try to recall: "Brother Su, well, he is quite handsome, elegant as the wind, like a talented man who has read poetry and books. β
The three of them almost vomited blood and died when they heard this, and the old man in armor even wanted to give Bai Yue a good beating, and actually said that an old monster who had cultivated martial arts to surpass the great grandmaster was a suave talent, how stupid should this be?
Bai Yue seemed to sense the disbelief on the expressions of the three of them, and continued to explain, "Brother Su has the style of a gentleman in every gesture, and he looks like he is not as old as me. β
The three of them frowned more and more when they heard this, how could the face of an old monster who had lived for hundreds of years still be so young, even immortals should not be like this. The inexplicable three of them began to doubt their judgment, especially the man in fancy clothes and the old man in armor looked at the old eunuch one after another, and the meaning in his eyes was self-evident, since you proposed it, then please continue to verify it.
The old eunuch looked at the two of them with a wry smile, shook his head helplessly, and suddenly moved his gaze to the brocade box placed on the tea party.
"Did you say that your friend insisted that you give it to you?"
"That's true." Bai Yue replied with a fist.
The old eunuch understood this, smiled and looked at the white-haired old man and said, "General, do you dare to drink a cup of tea?" β
"You meanβ"
"Rest assured, non-toxic." The old eunuch said seriously.
The white-haired old man really wanted to spit on the face of this old immortal eunuch, did he look so afraid of death?
"Make tea!" The old man said to the old eunuch angrily, his eyes were horizontal, like a naughty boy who likes to be competitive.
The old eunuch only smiled at this, and then took the brocade box and poured the black tea grains inside into the teacup, a stream of heat flowed out along the old eunuch's white fingertips, and slowly flowed into the teacup, and the black tea quickly melted into the hot water, and the aroma overflowed the entire side hall.
The old man picked up the teacup and drank it heroically, then slowly closed his eyes.
The side hall fell silent again, and only the eyes of the three of them were quietly watching the white-haired old man.
The time for a stick of incense has passed.
Seeing that the old man still didn't react, the man in fancy clothes and the old eunuch on the side couldn't help but show an anxious look, while Bai Yue was at a loss.
Suddenly, the old man suddenly opened his eyes and said hurriedly to the old eunuch, "Quickly protect the Dharma for me." β
And the old eunuch also seemed to notice something, nodded, and quickly counted the dots in the air with both hands, completely covering up the aura of the entire side hall.
A surging momentum suddenly appeared in the side hall, but it was not leaked out because of the old eunuch's cover-up, but this majestic momentum also kept squeezing the other three, but fortunately, the old eunuch protected the other two in time, so that the man in Chinese clothes and Bai Yue were safe under this mountain-like momentum.
I don't know how long it took for the side hall to regain its calm again, and the old man's hands trembled and stroked his black hair, and his eyes said to the three of them in disbelief: "I, I'm actually a great grandmaster." β
This cup of tea, reading, a better reading experience.
