In the lobby on the first floor of Yipinlou, there is a blind storyteller, it is a sloppy old man, full of white hair, wearing a navy blue coat, obviously a little ill-fitting, with an erhu at hand, the erhu is the cheapest erhu, the only feature is that the old one does not look good.

The position arranged by the old storyteller in Yipinlou, next to the outside of the stairs, the table is no more than a foot wide, no more than two feet long, the small one is not like the words, and the old ones are not like the words, when the old man shoots the wood, the small table will shake out some dust, which makes people very worried about whether the small table will collapse.

The middle of the second floor is empty, similar to a patio, with only private rooms separated by a front and back on the four sides, facing the window on the left and the vacant patio on the right. Li Ye poured a glass of wine and gestured to Liu Zhiyan across the table: "This green ant wine is a feature of this building, not to mention how mellow it is, the only feature is also the only advantage, that is, it is strong enough." Can you drink it?"

There were only two of them in the private room, Liu Zhiyan, who was dressed plainly and did not use powder, took the wine jug, poured herself a full glass, raised her hands, and said to Li Ye seriously: "Your Highness has a great favor to the Changhe Gang, and the great grace is not grateful, the little girl will do it first as a respect!"

The case of Huangli Township has ended, and Wei Baoheng was also exiled to Lingnan, but when he went to the Huai River, he died "innocently", and the court didn't bother to pursue it, just as there was no such thing, after all, no one would stand up for Wei Baoheng, whether it was the Criminal Department or the officials of the three provinces.

A generation of powerful ministers was silent like this, and after they died, they didn't stir up any waves.

The Changhe Gang has not been held accountable, and with the help of Li Ye, atonement for their sins can always be guaranteed.

Liu Zhiyan drank a cup, her face was as usual, then she poured a second cup, and drank it all again, after three cups, her white and flawless little face rose two touches of red, and her head shook slightly, she struggled to open her eyes: "This wine is really a little strong!"

Li Ye saw her tiger-headed appearance, quite cute, couldn't help laughing, and then raised his glass and said: "The big boss is worthy of being a hero in the rivers and lakes, a man of temperament, come on, drink a few more glasses!"

Looking at Li Ye's ill-intentioned smile, Liu Zhiyan stared at him with drunken eyes and had the heart to refuse, but when he heard the words "people in temperament", he recalled the rare experience of "sharing hardships" this time, and Li Ye's peaceful temperament, the word "good" blurted out involuntarily.

Li Ye saw that Liu Zhiyan was so crisp, he almost didn't slap the table, and he felt even more interesting in his heart.

After a few drinks between the two, Li Ye withdrew his hand, he didn't plan to really get Liu Zhiyan drunk.

"It's been some time since the Changhe Gang left Weishui, and I'm afraid that the share of freight under the previous name has been divided up by other gangs. This time I will return to Weishui, I will definitely face a more complicated situation, and I will send someone to you to help you a thing or two. Li Ye said.

Liu Zhiyan clearly shook her head a little, but stubbornly held her head still, her pretty face was flushed, and her eyes stared at Li Ye without blinking, this posture seemed to be desperate with others.

Li Ye asked: "Do you want the Changhe Gang to be the No. 1 gang in Weishui?"

"What?" Liu Zhiyan suddenly heard this, and didn't react for a while.

Li Ye smiled and said: "First become the No. 1 gang in Weishui, and then infiltrate into Shandong and enter the Yellow River and Huai River basins." The luck of the imperial court is a fat difference, doesn't the Changhe Gang want a piece of the pie?"

Even if Liu Zhiyan drank more wine, she was shocked by Li Ye's words at this time, but because she was clear-sighted, she was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

"I don't have the River Gang under my command right now, so it's a coincidence that you appeared. Li Ye seemed to be smiling.

If you control Caoyun, you will have the opportunity to control the rich Huainan and Jiangnan, and the world is about to be in chaos.

Liu Zhiyan's mind was full of the sentence "You appeared very coincidentally", but she didn't know how to answer, she was just a girl from the rivers and lakes, and the Changhe Gang behind her was just a small fish and shrimp, and she hadn't even thought about the first gang in Weishui, let alone entered the Yellow River, Huai River, and several major canal basins.

"I'll give you half a year. Li Ye took a sip of wine, his eyes were a little deeper and sharper, "Within half a year, if you can order all the gangs in Weishui, I will give you the identity of An Wangfu." ”

Speaking of this, Li Ye looked at Liu Zhiyan, and his eyes were even deeper: "But if you can't do it within half a year, I will replace you...... Do you understand?"

Although Liu Zhiyan is simple, she is not stupid, she naturally understands the meaning of Li Ye's words. If the Changhe Gang can't succeed with his help, it will be too useless, and Li Ye will support the new River Gang to take the place of the Changhe Gang.

This is an opportunity for the Changhe Gang to grow and grow.

The Long River Gang had never encountered such a great opportunity.

Li Ye saw that Liu Zhiyan's eyes were gradually firm, and he knew that she had already made a decision in her heart, so he smiled and said: "If the big boss has made up his mind, you and I will drink three more cups, which can be regarded as 'wine for the alliance', how about it?"

Liu Zhiyan's already big watery eyes suddenly widened.

Still drinking?

Do you have any intentions?

Liu Zhiyan couldn't help but shudder.

Li Ye was amused by her eyes again.

......

At this time, there was a snapping sound in the lobby on the first floor.

Behind the small table on the side of the stairs, the sloppy old man's startled wood was slapped on the table, and the wood dust fluttered in his face, but he didn't realize it, and said in a sonorous tone: "But it was said that this King An went to Huangli Township alone, looked at the robbed warehouse, and found the traces left by the thief at a glance, and immediately called a fisherman, bought his fishing boat, and went up the Weishui River to get people!"

Li Ye and Liu Zhiyan heard the movement, they both turned their heads to look, and when they heard the old storyteller's passionate speech, Liu Zhiyan glanced at Li Ye: "This gentleman is not right!"

Li Ye disagreed: "If you say it right, it's not called storytelling, it's called writing history." ”

Liu Zhiyan sighed, as if she understood or not.

The storyteller continued to speak passionately: "On that day, King An drove the boat at night and asked for Ji according to the map. At the time of the third watch, a sudden change occurred, and more than ten big boats suddenly rushed out of the calm and dark river, and hundreds of men with sharp blades came out of the night and surrounded King An! The person who took the lead was none other than the former prime minister's brother who had cultivated to a high level, Wei Jiangnan!

"Good!"

"Good!"

"Well said!"

"His Royal Highness King An is really a hero! A single canoe dares to explore the thief camp at night, such courage is really admirable!"

A big man stood up and praised loudly.

"I heard that King An didn't go alone, and brought the officials of Chang'an Mansion with him!" beside the big man, a white-faced scholar whispered.

The big man was dumbfounded: "King An is full of guts, catch a few thieves, and still need to bring helpers?!"

The white-faced scholar shrunk his neck: "That's the ......"

"Damn it!, or you go up and say it!" the big man was furious, "don't mutter here!"

The white-faced scholar's face turned red, and he dared not speak out in anger.

After the victory of the big man, he snorted proudly: "What a hero King An is, after a few months in office, he used his own strength to investigate and deal with the traitor Wei Baoheng, and returned me to the Tang Dynasty! This kind of feat, the past and the present! If you dare to slander King An, don't blame my fist for not recognizing people!"

The scholar didn't dare to say much, but still bowed his head and muttered: "I also think that King An is a hero......

"Oh?" the big man raised his eyebrows, suddenly raised his eyebrows, grabbed the white-faced scholar, and laughed, "It turns out that he is a fellow believer! Why didn't you say it earlier? Come on, come on, for King An, I will toast you!"

"This, I won't drink alcohol ......"

"Don't drink, that is, don't give me face? You can not give me face, but can you not give King An face?!"

"I drink, I drink ......"

Looking at this interesting scene in the lobby, Liu Zhiyan couldn't help but giggle, quickly covered her lips, secretly glanced at Li Ye, and saw that the other party looked as usual, so she felt curious: "Your Highness, what does it feel like to be praised so face-to-face?"

Li Ye said indifferently: "I'm used to it." ”

Liu Zhiyan: "......"

Li Ye is really used to it, since Wei Baoheng was investigated, I don't know what's going on, overnight, the entire Chang'an City knows about it, this is Li Ye's merit. And all kinds of legends spread quickly, depicting Li Ye as if he was descended from heaven, and he simply overthrew the unbeatable traitor with his own strength, which attracted praise from the market.

Every time Li Ye goes back to the street, he will hear various legends about his investigation of Wei Baoheng......

So, in just half a month's time, countless fortunes continued to converge on him, without a moment's pause, often as soon as he woke up, he found that his cultivation had taken a big step, seeing that his cultivation had reached the late stage of the fifth layer of Qi training, and he was only one step away from breaking through the sixth layer of Qi training!

According to Li Ye's estimate, it will not take too long to be promoted to the sixth level of Qi Training, and with the spread of deeds, every day of these days has gathered more luck than the previous day......

Liu Zhiyan suddenly raised her wine glass and said to Li Ye: "Your Highness, the little girl toasts you!"

Li Ye glanced at her, and Liu Zhiyan lowered her head with a blushing face, not daring to look at him.

Li Ye said leisurely: "I don't know if the big boss has heard a word?"

"What's that?" Liu Zhiyan raised her glass, raised her head, and blinked blankly.

Li Ye said: "Women don't get drunk, men don't have a chance." Aren't the big bosses afraid?"

Liu Zhiyan was stunned, and then blushed to the base of her neck.

But she didn't know where the courage came from, she raised her head and said, "I wonder if Your Highness has ever heard a word?"

"You say. Li Ye said curiously.

Liu Zhiyan lowered her head again: "Your Highness is not drunk, and the people's girls have no chance...... Are Your Highness afraid?"

Li Ye was stunned.

And this kind of operation?

With a clang, the wine glass in Liu Zhiyan's hand fell to the ground, and the whole person lay on the table, his eyes closed, and he fell asleep.

Li Ye smiled dumbly: "It turned out that he was drunk and talking nonsense...... This wine is a magical thing. ”

......

There are not only drunkards who mix in restaurants all year round, but also people with temperament, and it is not uncommon to share tables temporarily.

But it is relatively rare to see a man and a woman laughing and laughing, and come over to ask for a drink.

Rare does not mean not seen, Li Ye will see one now.

With a wine jug in one hand and a wine glass in the other, standing in front of the private room at the moment is a middle-aged man.

This man is burly, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, looking like a strong man in the army, but he is dressed as a scholar, dressed in a white-washed gray cloth shirt, standing there with a straight waist, and said to Li Ye with a smile: "Brother Tai is right, wine is indeed a good thing, I wonder if Brother Tai can appreciate his face and have a drink with him?"

When Li Ye saw this person, his heart moved.

He felt something strange today.

Because this guy in front of him is Huang Chao!
