Chapter 4 The bow is full and the arrow is strong, and the male lord is not the king

The blessed man hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the big iron tongs, clamped the stove and moved it out!

After a while, the blessed man's face was burned red by the red fire, and beads of sweat fell on the stove like rain!

'Woo ......'

The sweat was burned into a wisp of white smoke by the fire.

A moment later, the stove was also moved outside.

"Little shopkeeper, are you adding firewood to it now?" The handsome man laughed a few times with satisfaction, "Pick up a stack of firewood and go outside!" ā€

"That's right, but you can't be too impatient with firewood!" The corners of Li Er's mouth turned up slightly, "If you want to make the furnace fire more vigorous, you have to come a little bit, and adding firewood will only make the furnace fire go out!" Take your time and burn a little bit! ā€

"Take your time? Can't you rush it? The handsome man squatted and looked thoughtfully at the fire.

"Little shopkeeper, do you think the current Chang'an City is what you want?"

The handsome man's sudden question made the blessed man on the side suddenly become nervous.

"Brother Li......"

"It's okay, I'll just ask, we're all small people, although we can't change this country, but we also have a mouth, and the dissatisfaction in our hearts should also come out of our mouths!" The handsome man smiled and turned his head to look at the child lying in the rocking chair, "What do you say, little shopkeeper!" ā€

"I'm not as bold as you! This kind of thing shouldn't come from my mouth! Li Ce's eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled indifferently, "I'm just a child, I don't understand any big truth, everyone knows the truth of 'the bow is full and the arrow is strong'!" ā€

"The bow is full and the arrow is strong?" The handsome man looked stunned, and put the firewood in his hand into the stove, "When the strong bow is full, the arrows on the strong bow will also become very strong!" Little shopkeeper, what you said makes a lot of sense! ā€

"Makes sense? That's not what I said! Li Ce looked stunned for a moment, "This is a truth that everyone understands, guest officer, you are gorgeously dressed, you must be a person who has been influenced by the Four Books and Five Classics, how can you not understand this truth?" ā€

"Uh...... Ha ha! The handsome man suddenly brightened, his face full of joy, "Little shopkeeper, I have another question, what kind of monarch do you think this Qin King Li Shimin is?" ā€

Hearing this, the corners of the blessed man's mouth twitched.

"Who?"

"Li Shimin, King of Qin!" The handsome man's expression was firm, his eyes were like torches, "Just a few days ago, in Xuanwu Gate, ......"

"Guest officer, you can't talk nonsense!" Li Ce's lying body jumped up suddenly, "This is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how dare you talk about royal figures?" ā€

"Little shopkeeper, don't worry, there are no outsiders here, the words come from your mouth, not into the sky, not into the earth, only into my ears!" The handsome man smiled, "Don't worry, this guy won't talk nonsense!" ā€

"Yes, yes!" The corners of the blessed man's mouth twitched, and his cheeks, which were burned red by the fire, were still dripping with heavy beads of sweat, "I—I won't talk nonsense!" ā€

"What does it have to do with me?" Li Ce held his forehead, his face became even paler, "As long as I don't criticize myself, whoever likes to say it will say it!" I'm just a small shopkeeper, and if the two guests come to eat and drink, I'm very welcome, and if you discuss this kind of thing, forgive me for being lazy! Please leave on your own! ā€

"Don't don't, the two of us really found this place by smelling the wine all over the alley!" The handsome man smiled heartily and took out a gold ingot from his arms, "Little shopkeeper, if you can tell me your opinion, this ingot of five taels of gold is yours!" ā€

"Five taels?" Li Ce's expression was shocked, and his eyes lit up, "This gold is indeed a good thing, five taels, and you can buy a lot of things, but I'm afraid that I will have my life to take it, and I will not have my life to spend it!" Two, please leave! This is just a small wine shop, not the court, and I don't participate in the court's speech! ā€

"You...... Why are you like this? The blessed man frowned, "My family...... Brother Li kindly asked you, why are you still hiding it? You are clearly waiting for the price to sell! ā€

"This guest officer, you have to have a credential to speak!" Li Ce frowned, "This is Chang'an City, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, what you want me to talk about is not an ordinary person, such a character, how can a little ordinary person like me talk about it?" Let's go! ā€

"Well, if you can tell me what you think, I'll give you a hundred taels of silver at a later date!" The corners of the handsome man's mouth turned up slightly, and he looked expectant, "As long as you say a few words, you can get a hundred taels of silver, which is an income that you may not be able to reach if you open a store for a lifetime!" ā€

"One hundred taels...... Silver! The corners of Li Ce's mouth twitched, and his small eyes swirled in his sockets, "There is no basis for speaking, and it is useless to set up a note, so let's do it, you have to have something as collateral!" Otherwise, why should I believe you? ā€

"That's fine!" The corners of the handsome man's mouth turned up slightly, and he took out a white jade pendant from his arms, "This jade pendant, although it is of no great significance, is also made of high-grade jade, and it can also be worth a few hundred taels of silver, so use it as collateral, right?" Little shopkeeper, what do you think? ā€

Li ...... Brother Li, you ......"

"Don't talk!" The handsome man glared, "If you can get the words of the little shopkeeper, it is really worth spending a jade pendant!" ā€

"Jade pendant? The gentleman is proud of wearing jade, you give me the jade pendant, so what do you wear? Li Ce's brows furrowed slightly, and he stretched out his hand to move forward, "Show me first!" ā€

"Good, good!" The handsome man strode up to Li Ce and put the jade pendant on Li Ce's little hand with a smile.

Taking the jade pendant, Li Ce looked at it carefully.

"Yes, it is indeed a piece of fine jade! It's a lot of money! Li Ce nodded with satisfaction, "But I can't say much, you should listen to it!" King Qin is a male lord and is transitioning to the 'Ming Emperor'! ā€

"Male Lord? Transition to 'Mingjun'? The blessed man frowned, "Okay, you dare to say that King Qin is not Mingjun, you are so bold, aren't you afraid of ......?"

"I didn't say anything like that, this guest officer, you have to hear clearly! You can't frame a good guy for such a head-killing thing! Li Ce frowned, holding the jade pendant tightly in his hand, "This is my words, this jade pendant should also belong to me!" ā€

"Is it the male lord, not the Ming monarch?" The handsome man thought for a moment and paced towards the stove outside the door, "Can't you be in a hurry, the bow is full and the arrow is strong?" ā€

"Brother Li...... Don't listen to his nonsense! The blessed man looked excited, and his red face was full of sweat beads, "He's just a child, don't listen to his nonsense!" ā€

"You are really strange, you asked me to say it, I said it, and I talked nonsense, if it weren't for the fact that this jade pendant is worth a lot of money, I wouldn't bother to tell you!" Li Ce slowly supported his body, but his eyes were dark, his body swayed, and he was about to fall to the ground!

But at this moment, a strong arm hugged Li Ce's thin body.

"What the hell did you two bastards do? If something happens to my little master, I will definitely break you into pieces! ā€
