Chapter 149: Cooking Tea and Reading in His Spare Time

Wang Qi left.

No one knew what the two had talked about, but when Wang Qi left, he asked the restaurant to serve a few delicacies of the mountains and seas in the Tianzihao private room.

"Master, don't worry, the little one must serve that Taoist master!" The shopkeeper of the restaurant stood behind Wang Qi very respectfully and saw him off.

Wang Qi was dressed in brocade and jade crowns, the power of his gestures, and the three guards behind him were clearly telling others that this lord must be noble.

After a while, Li Yangshan touched his round belly with satisfaction, and even the wine burp was filled with a greasy salty fragrance: "Not to mention anything else, although I didn't fool Nalang Guogong to take out the silver and donate some incense money today, but with a mysterious and mysterious exquisite speech, this meal was still won by Poor Dao!" Belch. It's been a long time since I've eaten so full! ”

Holding the delicate shredded meat between his teeth with a thin stick, Li Yangshan had a hint of mockery in his eyes: "A few words made the Duke of Lang Guogong fascinated and shaken, hey, Poor Dao's mouth has also risen greatly!" ”

The saint hangs the arch, and the relatives have the tyranny?

From the point of view of Taoists like Li Yangshan, who have traveled all over the world, this is a fool's dream!

"Count the days, it won't be long before Luo Tianda, let's go south and go back to the mountain," Li Yangshan slowly got up from his chair and walked towards the door while humming a small song.

"Dao Ye is fine," outside the door, the shopkeeper was respectfully guarding there: "Can you eat?" ”

"Well, the leg of mutton is a little salty, and the rest is fine, yes, Lao Dao will bring Lang Guogong next time," Li Yangshan nodded as he walked towards the stairs.

"Hey, Dao Ye," the shopkeeper saw that Li Yangshan was leaving, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop in front of him, with a sneer on his face: "Did Dao Ye forget something?" ”

"Huh?" Li Yangshan was slightly stunned, looked down at his tattered robe, and then reached out and touched the wooden stick on the top of his head, and then nodded and said: "Thank you for the reminder, but Poor Dao didn't miss anything, farewell, farewell."

"Hey, hey," At this time, the shopkeeper's face was already gloomy, he narrowed a pair of narrow eyes, and said unkindly: "Dao Ye, do you want to eat white food?" ”

???

Li Yangshan's eyes widened, and the goatee flew upwards: "White food? What about Lang Guogong, damn it, Wang Qi didn't pay? Dao Ye I"

"Just you, can you know Lang Guogong? Master, I still know the current emperor! The shopkeeper felt that Li Yangshan was playing with himself as a monkey, so he rolled up his sleeves and began to beckon: "Come on, someone eats white food, give me a beating, ten taels of silver, one penny less, don't think about leaving!" ”

"Do you dare to do it with Dao Ye? Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable"

The slamming punch, with the sound of breaking the wind, had already smashed into Li Yangshan's eye socket.

Yes!!!

————

When Li Yangshan was surrounded and beaten, Wang Qi had already returned home.

An old Taoist dressed in tattered Taoist robes and a lotus flower tongue, Wang Qi didn't take it to heart, and he didn't care about the words in his mouth, he just made fun of it.

Mandate of Heaven?

Wang Qi rode his horse away, the meat eater's fool's words were just words, Wang Qi never believed it.

In the next few days, Wang Qi seemed to really live the life of a rich idler.

Walking horses and fighting dogs, listening to music and dancing swords, entering the palace from time to time to tell the Emperor of the Apocalypse about the strategy and layout of the war in Liaodong, as well as the brocade jade robe sent by Ningde Gong, the royal point in the palace.

Today's weather is good, and Wang Qi doesn't need to enter the palace.

In the back garden, the branches and leaves of the towering Tsubaki tree spread out, almost covering half of the garden, and the sunlight was dappled through the branches and leaves, falling on Wang Qi, which seemed quiet and tranquil, and some of the roots of the coiled trees also emerged from the ground, forming a natural green field.

At this moment, Wang Qi is lying on the rocking chair, the water is boiling on the stone table next to him, the jasper cup is half full of tea, the tea fragrance is open, intoxicating, and the roots of the Tsubaki tree are full of books and ancient books.

It's like waiting for something.

Fan Zhongjin had already begun to open up trade routes connecting Shanxi, Huguang, Horqin and Liaodong, with Wang Qi's warrant, the caravan in Horqin and Liaodong was almost uninhabited, a large number of Jiangnan brocade, porcelain tea, iron riding salt through the Taihang Mountain trail, transported to Guanshangerqin. The grasslands and medicinal herbs of Liaodong, good horses, cattle and sheep, and iron ore were also sent to Guannai in a steady stream.

On the long border, more than a dozen trade border markets operate almost all night for almost twelve hours.

Fan Zhongjin would write a letter almost every five days, reporting on the operation of the trading house and the situation in the border trading market.

The Wang family of Zhucheng in Jiaodong also selected the elders of the clan and the loyal sons to go to various commercial banks to serve as bookkeepers and horse leaders, among which there was Fan Zhongjin's initiative and Wang Huazhen's meaning.

Wang Huazhen has frequently written to Wang Qi in the past few days, wanting to send a few mature children of the clan to Wang Qi's side, on the one hand, to promote the junior children of the clan, and on the other hand, to hug Wang Qi, the towering giant tree of the future.

"My lord, the latest news from Jizhou Mansion," Wang Shouxin walked from outside, carrying a letter in his hand.

His eyes still fell on the book, Wang Qi lay on the rocking chair, and his voice was faint: "Read." ”

Because Wang Qi's Jinyi Guard is still being sent, and because he is also the position of the Governor of the Five Armies, the original commander of the fourth rank has also been upgraded to the commander of the third grade.

Therefore, it is not uncommon for all the news of arriving in the capital to appear on Wang Qi's table within a quarter of an hour.

"On the fifth day of Han Yi's arrival in Jizhou Mansion, the displaced people gathered more and more, and there was already a siege of the city, and now more than 1,000 Beijing battalion troops are also stretched, according to the wire report, there are a large number of displaced people in the city of Jizhou Mansion, and the city is about to be broken." Wang Shouxin's voice was ancient, as if he was telling a trivial matter.

"Ninety percent of the refugees are from Liaodong," Wang Shouxin was silent for a long time and added.

"Han Yi's methods are tough, he has soldiers in his hands, and he will naturally not show mercy to the White Lotus Sect," Wang Qi finally closed the book in his hand: "But he obviously underestimated the number of displaced people this time, as well as the energy of the White Lotus Sect, a large number of White Lotus should be gathered in the city, and when the troops have been dispersed, the natural strength is not enough." ”

"And what is their purpose?" Wang Shouxin was a little puzzled.

If the Jizhou Mansion is breached, then the imperial court will not be soft, and will definitely send a large army to suppress it with iron and blood.

Wang Qi turned his head to look at Wang Shouxin, and was about to speak, when he heard hurried footsteps outside the courtyard, and at the same time an eager voice came: "Master, someone is in the palace, let you enter the palace quickly!" ”

"No, you'll know when you go," Wang Qi put the book on the stone table and got up slowly: "Prepare the horse." ”
