Xu Ping'an raised his eyebrows, of course he knew what Liu Yuan was referring to, a huge river and lake can produce such a strong person, it should not be an unknown person.

Even if you live in seclusion in the mountains, you have more or less footprints.

"No matter how good your skills are, no matter how handsome your martial arts are, you can't match Brother Liu Yuan's waist and reputation, don't nine out of ten people pursue these two all their lives?"

"And, of course, women. As he spoke, he grinned and smiled, not shy away at all.

Liu Yuan's eyes showed mood fluctuations, his body leaned forward slightly, and asked, "Then, what is the pursuit of the little brother of Ping'an, gold and silver beauty or power?"

Xu Ping'an pursed his lips and laughed, hearing the meaning of his words, with some tentative solicitation.

"No, no, no, it just so happens that I do like these things, but if you want to talk about pursuit, you can't talk about it, otherwise I won't come out and go to the rivers and lakes. ”

"It's good to like it. Liu Yuan said with a smile, and quietly pushed over a rough embryo teacup, and under the teacup was a silver ticket, which was estimated to be an astronomical amount.

Xu Ping'an glanced at it twice, but did not reach out to pick it up.

Seeing this, Liu Yuan hurriedly smiled and said: "Little brother, don't get me wrong, my brother doesn't want to compare you with money, money is cheesy, and it really doesn't match a wise and mature teenager like you." ”

"Ancient style scholars, their highest pursuit is to be a national teacher, I Liu Yuan don't have that ability, I can only live in a corner to be a rich man, but as long as you are willing to be a little brother of peace, come to my Liu Mansion to be a staff member. ”

"The respect I can give you, and the stage is beyond the reach of most charlatans, and in addition, all of this is based on a righteous word, regardless of superiority and inferiority. ”

His tone was extremely sincere, and Li Ji and You'er listened attentively.

Xu Ping'an looked at Liu Yuan deeply, and had to say that this person could get this status in the melting pot of Yangzhou City, and it was definitely not something that could be done by reckless man alone.

The conditions he offered were indeed very tempting, and he had even lowered his posture and status very low, just like a corporal of a generation of kings and sages, and it was easy to buy people's hearts.

You must know that those chivalrous people in the rivers and lakes do seek knowledge, respect and stage, they disdain the high position of the temple, and only seek a reputation in the rivers and lakes.

He was not in a hurry to refuse, nor did he accept the silver ticket, he pinched the teacup with his five fingers and kneaded it carefully, neither humble nor arrogant, not sad or happy.

"Ancient style scholars, the name of the national teacher, Brother Liu Yuan is really not afraid of the wall and ears? To put it mildly, the rivers and lakes now led by the Gusu family are subordinates of the imperial court. ”

Liu Yuanmeiyu frowned, he lowered his posture, and tried so hard to win over, but he didn't get any answer, but listened to Xu Ping'an playing Tai Chi here.

However, it also aroused a stronger curiosity and desire to conquer in his heart, and it was very rewarding for a pretentious person to subdue an equally good person.

I don't know when, Liu Yuan's mentality has undergone some subtle changes.

"Hehe, you and I are both people in the rivers and lakes, you don't have to mind the metaphor, is it possible that I am still afraid that you will sue me in the official mansion? haha. Liu Yuan laughed, quite heroic.

Xu Ping'an gently picked up the silver ticket from under the teacup, his eyes were a little surprised, it was actually a silver ticket of five hundred taels, such a number could not be taken out in the entire Yangzhou City.

There are not many people who can take it out and give it away at will.

"If Brother Liu had today's actions in order to calm down Brother Ling's affairs, I don't think it would have to be like this, my shirt would be his reparation. ”

"The money, I still got it back. After saying that, he pushed the money back again, and with a smile on his face, he couldn't see any fluctuations.

Liu Yuan's fingers tapped lightly on the wooden table, a pair of eyebrows frowned, thinking to himself, "What an old boy", and the atmosphere fell into a trace of embarrassment.

At this time, Xiao Er came up with steaming porridge and rice to break the deadlock.

"A few guest officers, raise your noble hands, don't be hot. Xiao Er's face was full of smiles, and he spoke a grand foreign language, thinking that he had fled from here.

"Brother. The demon looked at the food, and her eyes lit up, and she pulled Xu Ping'an's clothes.

"Haha, what are you doing in a daze, eat quickly, I heard that the meat buns here are famous for their fragrance. Xu Ping'an shouted loudly, and then picked up a bun with his bare hands and stuffed it into his mouth.

The three of them ate intently, ignoring the few people in front of them as nothing.

The micro-expressions on the faces of the attendants who came with Liu Yuan were a little dissatisfied, who would dare to go south and north to lose face to their master like this?

On the contrary, Liu Yuanan sat quietly, without saying a word, and there was no annoyance on his face, and he took a sip of strong tea from time to time.

The silver ticket was left alone on the table, as if even a meat bun was more attractive than him.

After a stick of incense, the three of them were full, and the demon got into his arms comfortably, squinting at the crescent moon and pulling at the placket of his clothes.

"Little brother Ping'an, I, Liu Yuan, am not a narrow-minded person, and today Tang Tu is purely a heart of love, hoping to form a good fate in this vast river and lake. ”

"If you don't want to, I, Liu Yuan, already regard you as an old friend, but if you can talk about anything, you can open your mouth, brother, I can still speak in Yangzhou. ”

"If you want, you can come to my Liu Mansion at any time, and the affairs of the staff will always be effective. ”

Liu Yuan smiled and clenched his fists and said, with a proper attitude, it will not make people feel disgusted, and it will preserve his identity, and anyone who sees it will give him a thumbs up and praise him.

Xu Ping'an is too, his evaluation of this person is higher, and he is simply different from his brother.

It's a pity that the Tao is not the same, since he Liu Yuan has done the thing of colluding with the temple and causing trouble to the world, then he is destined to not be able to walk in the same boat with him.

Even, there will be a fight for life and death.

But now is not the time to tear his face, Xu Ping'an still replied with a smile: "Thank you Brother Liu for your words of praise and solicitation, but I am a man with ambition and am destined to not be your staff." ”

"Goodbye to the rivers and lakes, I remember this affection. ”

Liu Yuan stood up, not a burly body, but a little oppressive, after laughing three times.

raised his hand and said: "Don't worry, we will meet again soon, there is no need to say goodbye, and you don't have to refuse this matter so quickly." ”

"Brother, take your leave. ”

After speaking, he was very simple, and directly led people to stride out of this place, and the passing guests gave way when they saw it.

Many people who came to eat and stay at the restaurant were also talking.

"Who is this person, why is he so face-to-face, that he can sit at the same table with a big man like Liu Yuan and Liu Sanye?"

"That's right, could it be a new official from Yangzhou City?"

"It's possible, I heard that His Royal Highness King Yong has been enshrined and came to Yangzhou City, won't it be the prince?"

"Impossible, how could His Royal Highness King Yong come to such a small place, besides, that young man is only eighteen, how can he have half a point of heroic appearance of King Yong!"
