……
After Li Anran, who had completed the crossing, opened the hatch and jumped off the helicopter, he was somewhat surprised to find that there was an extra middle-aged man who did not know Cheng Chuhei, who came to escort Cheng Chuhei with a team of subordinates as usual.
To say that although this man is not as handsome as Zheng Chenggong, he doesn't look bad. At least it's not as exaggerated as being fat and strong. Along the way, it can be regarded as a dragon and a tiger, which is quite majestic. Moreover, if you look closely, you can also find that this person's appearance is actually somewhat similar to Cheng Zhihei, who is one step behind next to him.
"A certain Cheng Zhijie, I have seen a real person." Cheng Biting Jin, who walked to him first, hugged his fists and saluted.
"Cheng Zhijie? Are you Cheng Biting Jin? Li Anran, who was stunned for a moment, said a little dumbfounded.
"Yes." Cheng Biting Jin, who felt the strange eyes, couldn't help but feel a little inexplicable in his heart.
After looking at each other up and down carefully, there was really no way to connect the Li Anran in front of him with the Cheng Yanjin described in movies, television and romance novels, so he had to vomit in his heart: "I'll go!" I can't believe romance novels!! ”
In those romance novels and later generations of movies and television, this Cheng Yanjin has almost been portrayed as a fierce general with five big and three coarse, a thunderous voice, brave and unscrupulous, and likes to brave the three armies with a big axe. But after seeing the real person, Li Anran found that it was not the case at all, even if the person in front of him was not handsome, but it was definitely not as described in romance novels and movies and television. Far from it.
"It turned out to be General Cheng, fortunately." Seeing that he finally met Li Anran, a historical celebrity. Hurriedly bowed and said.
"Real person, I received news from this unscrupulous son yesterday night. Say that the real person is going to go to the sky today? Pressing the strange feeling of being stared at by someone's strange eyes, Cheng Yanjin asked.
"Yes, old general, please look, this is the magic weapon behind me." Although he didn't know the other party's intentions, Li Anran, who had already guessed that it must be related to his intention to fly, pointed to the helicopter behind him and said with a smile.
"Oh? This is the magic weapon of real people, and sure enough...... It's really very special......" Cheng Biting Jin, who carefully looked at the flying magic weapon, and said it for a while. That's why I used a neutral word.
"It's okay, in fact, there is a bigger flying magic weapon, which can carry hundreds of people to the sky at a time. It's a pity that that kind of magic weapon requires too much mana, and in the current situation, it can't be controlled. Feeling the shock that flashed in the other party's eyes, Li Anran patted the shell of the cabin door and said with a pretended sigh.
"How many ...... Hundreds of people go to the sky at the same time? In my mind, I imagined the scene of hundreds of people flying in the sky together, even with Cheng Zhijin's rough temperament. I can't help but feel a little dizzy.
"I don't know if General Cheng is coming, I hope to forgive me if I miss the distance, come on, come on, if you have anything to say, let's sit down and talk slowly." Knowing that the half-truths and half-truths just now have played a role in Li Anran. That's when I made a gesture of please.
"Good!" Originally, Cheng Yanjin, who was taking on some tasks this time, naturally would not miss such an opportunity, turned his head and glared at him, and said sharply: "Heir." Take your people and put this place in jail! If there is a half-point pool, I'll see you with my head!! ”
"No!" Zhilu said that his father has always been the heir of Cheng Zhi. hurriedly promised.
Before Li Anran and Cheng Yanjin left the crossing area, they saw that a large group of people had already surrounded the entire crossing area outside the thicker walls. As for the outer trees. God knows how many more people will be hidden.
"It seems that this kind of thing like Feitian really needs to be more valued than the magic weapons and spells that came out before." Li Anran, who secretly observed this scene, it is not difficult to understand why the Wei Lu in Chang'an City would react like this, after all, such a thing as flying into the sky, whether it is in the records of Buddhism or Taoism, is not something that ordinary people can do.
In order to avoid communication troubles for a while, on the way to the manor, Li Anran also said some of his own language habits. For example, claiming to use me and so on.
To Li Anran's surprise, Cheng Yanjin was not only not surprised at all about his language habits, but after chatting a few words, he was able to communicate with himself in the spoken language of these later generations.
It's not surprising to think about it, with the importance that the person in Chang'an City attaches to Xiaoyao Villa, his words and deeds must have been studied. In order to ensure that there are no problems in communication, it is natural that the people below will also carry out drills and adaptation in this regard. This can be seen from the fact that the entire mountain villa and even Cheng Chuhei quickly adapted to it.
After entering the manor, Li Anran took Zhao Er, who appeared beside him for the first time, and directly invited people to the outer hall specially used for meeting guests. There was no need to instruct, and the people who had become accustomed to the current way of working during this period of time quickly brought tea and snacks.
"General Cheng is here, there must be something serious to talk about, I will toast you with tea instead of wine, please!" Holding the delicately shaped celadon tea cup in his hand, Li Anran signaled.
"Please!" Looking at the delicately shaped tea sets and tableware in front of him, Cheng Yanjin, who sighed secretly, raised the tea cup in response, and then drank the green tea in one fell swoop.
As early as after Li Anran got the tea out, I don't know if it was because this way of drinking tea really had a different taste, or because of someone's identity, this way of drinking tea without any seasonings quickly became popular in the court. It's a pity that the process of making tea has not been passed down, so the tea drunk by those dignitaries will inevitably taste a little more bitter.
After drinking the tea in one gulp, feeling the wonderful feeling of bitterness and then sweetness in the mouth, and the fragrance of the teeth and cheeks, Cheng Yanjin smiled at the moment: "It's really good tea!" ”
"Since the old general likes it, I'll ask my subordinates to prepare some when I go back." Li Anran, who was also very satisfied with the taste of this superb green tea, said with a smile.
"Thank you, real person." Cheng Yanjin was not polite, and thanked him very happily.
If you want to say that this historical celebrity, the only thing that has the same thing in common with the same character described in romance novels, movies and television, is his personality. In the conversation just now, although he didn't talk about any sensitive topics, in the conversation, Li Anran discovered that this Cheng Yanjin's character is indeed very straightforward, at least on the surface.
"Old General Cheng is polite, it's just a little outside of his body." During the period before going abroad, Li Anran, who had spent a lot of money to purchase various daily necessities in China, naturally didn't care about this tea, and waved his hand and smiled at the moment.
"Real person, I don't dare to call this old general, I'm not at the age of confusion yet, but I can't be an old word." Put down the teacup and let Cheng Cheng, who was waiting on the side, bite the gold and said with a smile.
"Look at my memory, yes, yes, General Cheng is still just standing for this year, and he really doesn't deserve this old word, forgive me." Li Anran, who was stunned for a moment, realized that he was indeed a little preconceived.
Although the other party's appearance and demeanor can indeed be worthy of an old word, in fact, this Cheng Yanjin was not even forty years old in the first year of Zhenguan, even if the average life expectancy in ancient times was not high, there was no need to use this old word. Of course, this is Li Anran, if it is someone else, this old word Cheng Biting Jin will also accept it, after all, the word old has an honorific meaning in this era.
But Li Anran's reaction, as well as the implied meaning in those words, fell on Cheng Yanjin's ears, but he couldn't help but have some thoughts. However, these thoughts are only speculation, and they are not easy to say, so they can only be kept in mind for the time being.
"Real person, I'm here this time for what Xiao'er said, I don't know ......" Zhilu said the mysterious and unpredictable Cheng Yanjin of the young man in front of him, and he didn't make any more detours, and directly said his intention.
"Huh...... I understand the meaning of General Cheng's coming. Knowing that the other party was Li Anran, who was in the way of the people in the hall, he nodded with a smile, and then said: "Let's go down, Erlang is outside the hall, and you must not disturb you no matter what." ”
"No!" Zhao Er, who had been kneeling in the corner next to the main seat like a door god, walked out of the corner after answering the promise.
"Zhenren, I heard that your subordinate used to be just a hunter?" Looking at the departing figure, Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but ask with some curiosity.
It's no wonder that this curious person was not short before, but he was lean. In addition, he has been hunting in the mountains for many years, as well as farming in the village, not to mention that he is not very old, but the whole person looks very old-fashioned.
But during this period of time, with adequate nutritional supplements, someone even bought protein powder and muscle building powder that can make people fit and strong from the main plane for the other party to take on time and in the right amount. Then with a complete set of exercise equipment and corresponding methods. If Zhao Er returned to Zhao's village at this time, no one would be able to connect the strong and ruddy and healthy guy in front of him with the previous Zhao Er. (To be continued......)
