Chapter 406: Threat

The plain white snowflakes have already been piled up in the corners of the houses in the capital, and it feels like putting on a white dress for the whole capital. The snow melted from the eaves fell on the hard ground with a pleasant crackling sound.

After the heavy snowfall, the scene of the capital becomes very peaceful. White snow covered the city, obscuring the smell of fireworks and leaving only silence. The walls of the city have been covered with a thick layer of snow, and whenever a cold wind blows, snow particles fly all over the sky, which is very beautiful.

The snow on the road was deeply rutted by pedestrians, and occasionally a few pedestrians or cyclists fell, but these fallen people seemed insignificant compared to such a landscape.

The houses in the city were covered with snow to form white igloos, and ordinary residents began to hide in their houses. The street vendors are no longer as lively as they used to be, and the food hanging in front of their doors is no longer sold, and they plan to close their doors early and go home to stay warm for the winter.

The trees in the streets and alleys are also covered with snow, creating a snow world. Ice cubes hang from the branches of trees along the roadside, making these trees look as beautiful as elves.

In such a quiet snowy world, it seems that only the footsteps of each pedestrian are his own footsteps, and his expectations and visions for the future. It's not uncommon for such a quiet snowy day to happen, and the streets and alleys become quieter.

In this ancient capital after heavy snowfall, such a quiet scene is even more rare and precious.

But Li Ming, who was walking in the snow, was not quiet, on the contrary, he frowned, always feeling a little strange.

The city shipping department is an ancient foreign trade organization, and it mainly trades by sea, so why can't it catch up with his military aircraft?

The number one leader of the city is Wang Ling, and he has no friendship with him.

However, it was nothing for colleagues to move around each other, Li Yang thought about it and simply stopped thinking about it, got into the carriage in the mansion, and went to the mansion of Wang Ling together accompanied by four followers.

"Whoosh ......"

More than a dozen Qingsongguan disciples on his side quickly spread out, and as Li Ming's protective force, he moved forward with the vehicle, and under the leadership of the housekeeper of the Wangling Mansion, he came all the way to the Wangling Mansion along the street.

"Master Li, please here."

Outside the door, more than a dozen disciples of the Qingsong Temple stayed outside, while Li Ming and the four followers were led in from the gate with a smile on the butler's face.

"I'm tired."

Li Yang walked in with a smile, passed through the gate, and arrived at the front yard to entertain the guests in a short time.

"My lord, you sit here first, and I'll go and inform Master Wang that you're here."

After the butler took Li Ming to his position, he smiled and served him and the four followers sitting behind him with tea and turned to leave, Li Ming nodded, took a sip of hot tea, the tea was good.

"This is the glazed tea in the south, and it is a famous and good tea in the world."

Zhao Xiu, who was sitting in the back, took a sip of tea, and suddenly said to Li Ming with surprise in his eyes: "It is worthy of being the leader of the city, that is, he is rich, and the tea that his subordinates ordered to entertain guests is such tea." ”

"It's glass tea, then I can drink a few more cups."

Liu Zhuang, who was sitting in the back, was too lazy to drink this tea, but now after listening to Zhao Xiu's words, he couldn't help but pick up the teacup and take a sip, then reminisced about it, exhaled and sighed: "It is worthy of being a world-famous glass tea, it is really a good tea." ”

"It's really good tea."

Wang Guangyun on the side picked up the tea leaves in the tea basket on the side and looked at it, then put it in the cup and brewed it, observed it carefully, couldn't help but admire, and then pursed his lips: "It's really worthy of doing business, it's rich." ”

First of all, from the appearance point of view, some good tea leaves have bright colors and uniform textures from the surface, and there will be no other things mixed with tea inside; There will be no broken leaves, and there will be blackening.

If you see that this tea is black from the surface, and even the color and texture are very bad, it means that this tea is not good.

After drinking tea to be scalded and put in the tea set, it can be judged according to the color of the tea leaves, no matter what kind of tea it is, as long as the production standards are met and the quality is guaranteed, the tea soup brewed is clear and bright, and will not become turbid and dull without luster.

Good tea smells very fragrant, but not the kind of fragrance mixed with a lot of flavor, the tea smell is very natural, some smell very light, but it tastes very good, if it smells pungent or moldy, it means that the tea has deteriorated.

When buying tea, if you can't taste it, you have to taste the taste of dried tea, take a small amount of tea leaves, put it in your mouth, chew it carefully, if there is bitterness in your mouth or even other flavors, it means that this kind of tea is not very good.

If you make tea in the store, you should pay attention to the water temperature, the amount of tea, the brewing time, etc.;

Because some merchants in order to cover up the shortcomings of this tea, they will fake in the steps, brew a few more cups when tasting, and the good tea leaves are still fragrant after several brews.

When tasting, don't be in a hurry to swallow it, leave it in your mouth for a while, and then swallow it little by little, let the tea turn in your mouth, and see if the fragrance in your mouth is still there when you swallow it.

This observation is the residue of the brewing, from which you can see how the quality of the tea is, even if the good tea leaves are blistered, the tea leaves are still very neat, and at the same time, the good tea leaves are very easy to relax in the process of brewing.

Li Ming knew that the glazed tea in this world was equivalent to the Longjing in the real world, and basically everyone was famous, so he couldn't help but observe it, it was indeed a good tea, but after listening to Wang Guangyun and Zhao Xiu's words, he shook his head: "Hey, don't say that, maybe Lord Wang specially ordered us to entertain us with such tea." ”

"Yes, this is in someone else's house, how can you say these things."

Liu Zhuang also nodded and said that he would show his attitude, and then took another sip with a smile: "It's really good tea." ”

Li Ming looked at Liu Zhuang speechlessly, shook his head, and didn't care about it anymore, knowing that they also knew the severity on weekdays, so he didn't pay attention to what he just said.

Liu Wu, who was not interested in tea, also drank two more cups.

After a while, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the hall, Li Ming gave a look, and the four people sitting behind him hurriedly straightened up.

"Master Li, if you miss the distance, if you miss the distance, don't blame it, don't blame it."

A man wearing a robe with blue spots and white spots walked outside the main hall and saw Li Ming sitting at the head of the guest.

"Where, where."

Li Ming and the four followers behind him hurriedly got up, smiling politely, but Li Ming was a little surprised, this leader of the city division who had never met looked so young.

"Sit down, sit down."

Wang Ling smiled and beckoned Li Ming and the five of them to sit down, and then clapped his hands: "Come on, bring the pastries, and then bring my treasured wine, and then take some fresh red dates, cook them with the wine and serve Master Li." ”

"Yes."

When the servants below heard this, they immediately whispered yes, and then turned around and hurried to prepare.

"Thank you, Lord Wang, for your hospitality."

Li Ming was not familiar with this royal tomb, but he was quite embarrassed at this time, and when he saw that his command was not easy to contradict, he arched his hand and sat down.

After a while, delicious pastries were served, along with a plate of red dates and a pot of fine wine, and Mei Ji, dressed in a snow-white shawl, sat beside her.

"Come on, Lord Li, you and I are both court officials, both serve the court, and drink a cup to celebrate the court."

Wang Ling raised his wine glass with a smile and spoke to Li Ming.

"Please, please."

Li Ming couldn't refuse this excuse, so he had to pick up his wine glass and take a sip with him.

After drinking a glass of wine, Wang Ling laughed, and then began to take the initiative to chat with Li Ming, chatting about various interesting anecdotes.

Li Ming gradually let go of it, and when he was a new friend he met at the wine table, he squirted with him freely.

Just chatting and chatting until noon, things suddenly became a little strange.

"Come on, roast the sheep brought from the Western Regions, and then bring those Western Regions grapes over for Master Li to taste."

Wang Ling waved his hand drunkenly, and there was immediately a servant outside the door.

"The sheep and grapes from the Western Regions are really a good means for Lord Wang."

Li Ming looked at Wang Ling on the side with some surprise, and couldn't help but speak in praise.

"Hahaha, not only these grapes and sheep, but also beauties."

Wang Ling laughed, and then waved his hand: "Let the Western Regions Meiji come up." ”

"Yes, sir."

A servant at the door whispered, then turned around and went out, and soon led a group of tall and slender beauties dressed in Western Regions-style clothes walked up.

"Meiji of the Western Regions?"

Li Ming raised his eyebrows, and then saw that this group of beautiful women were thinly dressed on a cold day, but they couldn't help frowning when they didn't feel the cold.

'Big brother be careful, these women are only afraid of martial arts. ’

Receiving a sound in his ears, Li Ming silently turned his head and skimmed Wang Guangyun who was sitting behind, but when he saw him looking at him with a smile, he immediately nodded slightly, and then looked at Liu Wu, Liu Zhuang and Zhao Xiu, but saw that the three of them also frowned slightly.

'The beauty of the Western Regions with martial arts is interesting. ’

Li Ming's heart moved secretly, then he squinted his eyes silently, quietly carried the true qi of Qingsong, dispersed the wine he drank in his body, and the whole person sobered up.

"Dance for Lord Li Ming."

Seeing this group of Western Regions beauties coming in, Wang Ling, who was sitting in front, couldn't help but wave his hand and smile and speak, and the Western Regions Beauty of the six people immediately danced in the field.

But seeing the clothes rolling, people dancing with the clothes, and the exotic dance between the figures flying in front of me.

Especially when patches of skin emerge from the clothes, it is even more eye-catching.

The Western Regions Dancing Queen stood in the center of the hall, wearing a bright red dance dress and holding a delicate long red fan in her hand. The beautiful posture is matched with soft music, and the dance steps are light, like flowing clouds, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

The dance skirt on the body is soft and fluffy, with sparkling gemstones, like a gorgeous flower fluttering in the air. And her movements are also unusually soft, gently turning the fan, stepping on the dance steps like jumping, agile and elegant.

This is the orthodox Western Regions dance. ’

Li Ming's mind instantly rose to judgment, the Western Regions Dance uses the softness of the body, the body language and facial expressions of the dancers to express the storyline, giving people visual enjoyment and emotional resonance. Common elements of movement in the dance include spins, undulations, turns, and hand movements, all of which are characteristic of Western dances.

He felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

However, the royal tomb on the main seat looked very energetic, and applauded vigorously.

After a while, when the dancing girl in the Western Regions was finished, Wang Ling looked at Li Ming with a smile and asked, "Master Li, I don't know how this dancing girl is?" ”

"The Western Regions Dance is really unique, and it is indeed unique."

Li Ming smiled lightly, then thought about it and said admiringly.

"Oh, if Master Li can think so, then I will be gratified, come, taste these grapes and wine again."

Wang Ling smiled when he heard this, and then beckoned, and these bright dancing girls immediately retreated, and in the midst of the frowning brows of Li Ming and the others, several servants came up, and the tray in their hands was filled with grapes and wine from the Western Regions for Li Ming and the five of them to pour one by one.

"I don't know if Lord Wang has anything to say to Li?"

Li Ming looked at the poured wine, frowned, and couldn't help but ask Wang Ling.

"That's not true, just ask Master Li to taste it."

Wang Ling laughed and waved his hand, and then waited until Li Ming took the grapes and wine and ate and drank with him, and after a while, the smell of meat overflowed, and the subordinate carried pieces of roasted mutton sprinkled with seasonings up, and divided a large amount of roasted meat and distributed it to several people.

"Lord Li tastes this mutton again, how do you feel?"

Wang Ling opened his mouth with a smile and asked Li Ming.

"It's fragrant but not greasy, and it makes people linger on the aftertaste."

Li Ming took chopsticks and ate a piece of mutton with chopsticks, and couldn't help but smile and said.

"Oh, that's the case, Lord Li Ming, please eat more, let's finish this sheep today."

Wang Ling raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "This sheep is three hundred and thirty catties, enough for the six of us to eat, right?" ”

"Hahaha, that's enough."

Li Ming laughed, saw that there was really no movement, and then he ate mutton and drank wine in the hospitality of Mei Ji beside him.

Even though Li Ming's five people are all martial artists and have a big appetite, this big sheep also allows them to eat and support it, and they have the right to serve as lunch.

"Master Li, now that you have made all your achievements, why don't you stop here and stop participating in the war between the Xiongnu?"

After eating, Wang Ling suddenly smiled at Li Ming and asked, "As long as Lord Li agrees, Lord Li can be said to have everything in the future with such fine wine and beautiful food." (End of chapter)
