Chapter 028 Temptation

Tang Yan accepted Li Si's invitation to be a guest at the Prime Minister's Mansion, except for Girobu, he didn't bring any extra people, of course, the Phoenix Ji in the shadow is not counted, and Corgi seems to like to wear through his shadow whenever something happens, and he can't stop it, so it's up to him.

The Xiangfu is not big, but the artificial lake behind the Xiangfu is very large, it is summer, the lake is full of lotus flowers, the lotus root powder is spread out in the Hu Guang, and the contrast is interesting.

The place where Li Si set up a banquet, in the Huxin Pavilion on the island in the middle of the lake, the island in the middle of the lake was shrouded in fog, and there was nothing to see above, only a small boat docked on the shore, and the guards who responded said to Tang Yan: "Dashuai, please get on the boat, the boat will naturally take the Dashuai to see the prime minister." ”

Tang Chen jumped on the boat lightly, and Zhibu wanted to follow, Tang Chen shook his head to indicate that it was okay, the boat was unmanned with oars, and it was automatically without wind, and it penetrated into the depths of the secluded lotus.

In the fog, Tang Tan heard the sound of women laughing and playing in the water countless times, but he used his mana to probe, but there was no trace of anyone around.

When the field of vision cleared and the fog cleared, Tang Chen saw the island in the middle of the lake, the island was not big, it was teardrop-shaped, but there was a nine-layer cloud pavilion on it.

Tang Tan stepped on the ladder, the ladder automatically went straight to the ninth floor, in front of an elegant coffee table, Li Si sat and drank tea, saw Tang Chen, did not get up to greet him, but treated him as if he was an acquaintance, and directly beckoned Tang Tan to sit.

Tang Chen was also not polite, sat down opposite Li Si, and only listened to Li Si say: "The dew that was collected just now, it is just right to make tea, you are free." ”

Tang Chen took a cup and poured water, saw that the cup contained a lotus seed, and after entering the tea, he drank a whole cup directly, this rough action caused Li Si to frown slightly.

"I think that good things come in pairs, what is the point of putting only one lotus seed in this?" asked Tang Chen.

Li Si held the teacup with the gesture of the three dragons guarding the ding, and drank a cup of tea in three sips, but his demeanor was elegant, relaxed and natural, and he said at the end: "Just be alone." I serve tea to guests, Tang Shuai won't feel sluggish, right?"

Tang Chen shook his head and said: "Although I don't understand the tea ceremony, I am also used to drinking tea, and we meet early in the morning, and it is only six o'clock at the moment, if you drink alcohol, it is strange." However, 'if you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will be good to the world', and when you reach the position of the prime minister, it is not appropriate to pretend to be alone. ”

Li Si smiled: "Look, this is being caught, I have never married in my life, I have no children, and I am alone, which makes the handsome man laugh." ”

"Then what are you trying to do?" Tang Chen also had doubts about Li Si, he was really innocent to this point, and he had no desires or desires? Tang Chen didn't like to beat around the bush, so he asked directly.

Li Si was not very surprised by Tang Chen's directness, and after thinking about it, he said: "Under my rule, there will be peace and stability for a long time." I would like to see the rise of the Great Qin Empire, a free country that is no longer oppressed by any kind. ”

Tang Yan said: "I have checked all your previous decrees, all of them are measures taken by Annei, and you are almost not involved in the use of foreign troops. ”

"I am a literati, I don't know martial arts, and I must first settle down inside the outside. Li Si replied in two pounds.

Tang Chen nodded in agreement, and then said tentatively: "The big picture is from the dark department? Zhang Huan is your former subordinate?"

Li Si was impeccable on his face, and only said: "Thanks to the first king, he was in charge of the dark department, but he did not disgrace his mission, Zhang Huan was also reused by me, it was a sharp knife, but the utilitarian heart was too heavy, and later he was cleared out of the dark department because of private life problems, I remember that he went back to Shen Valve to take charge of the private army, and he has mixed well over the years." ”

Tang Yan said: "This person is very bold, and the black Shen valve has selfish money. ”

"So does the marshal want to get rid of him? As far as I know, the marshal also has dealings with Shen Valve in private. But Li Si did not mention what exactly he was exchanging with him.

Tang Chen shook his head and said: "Shen valve doesn't care, I don't care what he does, as long as he doesn't hack my money, I am very different, I am a layman, I still want fame, fortune and money, the empire relies on the family of gate valves, and everyone knows some secret deeds, others can do it, how can I not do it? I came to see the prime minister today, just to give an explanation, I hope that before the end of the extraterritorial war, the empire will be stable and there will be no noise." ”

Li Si stopped tasting tea and asked rhetorically, "What is the 'noise' that Dashuai refers to?"

"Everything is against the Empire. Tang Chen didn't say anything.

"This is my duty as a Zaifu, peace in the world, nothing more than a stable word, this old man dares to take his life guarantee, who dares to mess with the Great Qin Empire, even if I am a literati, I dare to slaughter the rebellious people, I don't care about reputation, to kill to stop the chaos, I also did it, after all, I came from the dark department. ”

Tang Yan said: "If I commit a crime in the hands of the prime minister, I think the prime minister will also deal with it impartially." ”

"That's nature. Li Si said unabashedly.

The two looked at each other and smiled, pressed the state affairs not to mention, but talked about the scenery in front of them, Tang Tan in Li Si's introduction only to know the reason why Li Si asked him to meet in the morning, at this time to watch the lotus is the most beautiful time, the lotus will bloom for two days, the budding is today's new flowers, the kind of blooming is yesterday after pollination, and the petals will wither in the afternoon, which is embarrassing.

Tang Yan didn't understand Fengyue, but when he saw the beautiful scenery in front of him and remembered the picture of Ziying playing in the lotus pond, he couldn't help but get distracted.

When Tang Chen noticed that Li Si was looking at him for a moment, he asked, "The Great Minister looks at me like this, is there something to say?"

"I have heard that Tang Shuai is crazy, I look at Tang Shuai, and he is not a delicate person, but when he looks at this scenery, he is settled in his heart. Li Sidao rarely showed a good impression of Tang Chen.

"It's just a half-day of leisure, and it's rare to invite each other to enjoy the scenery, how can I go and watch the flowers. ”

"It's better to talk about a game. Li Si invited.

Tang Chen glanced at the black and white chess pieces in the chess basket, shook his head directly and smiled: "I really don't know this, I haven't learned it in my life." ”

"I'll teach you. Li Si also smiled.

"Good. Tang Chen replied without hesitation, remembering that Ziying often played chess with him, he wanted to learn to accompany her.

It is said that Tang Tan is such a smart person, almost a learn, the rules are quickly memorized, many people need to rely on memorizing chess games to enhance their strength, but Tang Chen, once he learns to control the qi on the chessboard, he is really self-taught, the first two or three games are immature, one of them was killed by Li Si There is no chess left, but the more later, Li Si began to struggle, when a draw was played, Li Si began to wonder if Tang Chen had really not touched Othello before.

Enjoying the fun of chess, Tang Chen actually grabbed Li Si and kept playing chess, the best learning is to play against the masters, this time until the sound of hunger in his stomach.

Only then did the two stop, and Li Si said: "There are fish in the lake, let's take local materials." ”

Tang Yan said hello, and the black shadows under his feet were intertwined into a net, and he actually went to the lake, and after a while, the black shadow net was inhabited by several fat big fish, all of which were sixty centimeters long.

Li Si chose a slightly smaller one, took the copper stove to boil water, put the fish meat into the pot, and used lotus seeds and lotus petals on the left, but it was fragrant.

On the other side, Tang Yan thought about the fish, grilling fish in such a beautiful place was too scenic, so he took the Tai'a sword, summoned the blade of flame, and slice the fish with the knife technique of slicing sashimi, because the speed is extremely fast and the temperature of the blade is extremely high, and the thin fish fillet is instantly cooked.

Li Si's fish soup, Tang Chen's fish fillet, this meal is delicious.

After a full stomach, of course, it is to fight the chessboard again, until the sun sinks, the lanterns are first released, and the moon is in the sky, and after the killing, the tea is dry, and in the last game, Li Si lost Tang Tan and a son.

Tang Chen was so addicted that he felt his throat dry.

The two returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion in the same boat, Tang Tan called Zhibu, Li Si sent each other, before leaving, Li Si took out a gun and gave it to Tang Chen: "This is a little bit of my heart, and I should be a thank you gift for saving my life last time." ”

Tang Chen took the gun in his hand, the hand was very heavy, the whole gun was completely handmade, the golden gun body, only the * place is black leather, exquisite like a work of art, there was a precedent of a watch, Tang Chen saw the gems inlaid on the guns anymore will no longer be naΓ―ve to think that those are ornaments, a killing weapon, even if it is a sesame gem, it is meaningful.

Tang Chen, who has seen a lot of good things, can already see that the water sapphire on the sight can add accuracy, and the whole body of Deno Topaz can add attack power, this is a powerful magic source pistol, no ammunition, all rely on mana to feed ammunition.

"Good thing! really give it to me?" Tang Chen really felt that this thing might be more than just the value he saw on the surface.

"It's an old object, only people with outstanding ability can shoot it, I can't use it anyway, I believe Tang Shuai can exert his true power, take it, you can defend yourself." Li Sidao is completely sincere.

"Thank you, then. Tang Chen put the gun in the space ring, and then said goodbye and left.

Tang Tan walked on the front foot, and the divine envoy who had visited the Great Minister's Mansion appeared in Li Si's study, Li Si saw the divine envoy, and the one immediately said: "This is the person with purple qi you reported?"

Li Si replied: "At the beginning of the sacrifice to the sky, the soul power of the four spirit holy beasts was all pulled by Tang Zhen, and the Purple Pole Hidden Dragon is now on King Qin's body, if he didn't have purple qi, it would be impossible for him to have the omen of Purple Pole." ”

The divine envoy said: "This person deliberately suppressed his own rank, and it seems that he is full of loopholes, but in fact, I have observed him all day, if it is replaced by me to kill him, there is no chance to make a move, what do you think, is this person to kill or stay? We people in the God Realm cannot directly attack the people of this world, so you can only do it yourself." ”

Li Si said: "Tang Chen, pestering me to play chess all day, the last game I deliberately lost to him, if I don't release the water, he will pester me until he wins, this kind of perseverance is very accessible, if you give him time and space, he will definitely become the biggest obstacle on our way forward, and his arrogance, destined not to be used by us, I don't really want to keep this kind of evil intention, there is a chance, I will take his life." ”

Of course, it has to be a one-hit hit.

The divine envoy said: "If you want to get rid of King Qin's first confidant, that's your business, but the Divine Domain has a will, you can't touch King Qin anymore, Your Majesty Guanshi Di wants this human woman." ”

"Yes. Li Si lowered his head and replied, hiding the dark color in his eyes.
