Chapter 61: Ready to Go
I saw Yan Qi take out an object tightly wrapped in a cloth from his back and hand it to Liu Ye, saying, "Please appreciate it, Lord Liu." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Liu Ye sniffed, and untied it in a hurry, and a long sword as thin as a cicada's wings jumped into his eyes.
"What is this?" asked Liu Ye, he didn't expect Yan Qi to suddenly be so uplifted, and he didn't forget to bring gifts when he came as a guest.
Yan Qi pointed at Yan Kong and said, "This cicada wing sword was forged by me three years ago in front of Changtai Gate in Chaozhou Mansion, what do you think?"
Liu Ye smiled slightly, this matter caused a lot of sensation in Chaozhou at that time, and the cicada wing sword was correspondingly fried to a high price of 20,000 taels of silver, and the other party sent this I saw Yan Qi take a piece of tightly wrapped cloth from his back and hand it to Liu Ye, and said, "Please appreciate it, Lord Liu." ”
Liu Ye sniffed, and untied it in a hurry, and a long sword as thin as a cicada's wings jumped into his eyes.
"What is this?" asked Liu Ye, he didn't expect Yan Qi to suddenly be so uplifted, and he didn't forget to bring gifts when he came as a guest.
Yan Qi pointed at Yan Kong and said, "This cicada wing sword was forged by me three years ago in front of Changtai Gate in Chaozhou Mansion, what do you think?"
Liu Ye smiled slightly, this incident caused a lot of sensation in Chaozhou at that time, and the cicada wing sword was correspondingly fried to a high price of 20,000 taels of silver, and the gift given by the other party was considered to have some weight. However, Liu Changshi is a person who has seen the world, although this cicada wing sword is valuable, but it can't make him tempted, what really makes him pay attention to it is the goodwill that Yan Qi sent through the cicada wing sword.
This disciple of Zhongshan seems to have opened his mind.
Liu Ye is also not pretentious, although he is a weak scholar, he can be in his official position, and there are naturally a group of people in the rivers and lakes who are chasing fame and fortune around him, and the cicada wing sword is still useful.
"It's a good sword, and Liu Mou thanked Liu for the love of the two young heroes in advance. However, Liu has a criterion for doing things, and no merit is absolutely unacceptable, if the two of them have something to ask Liu to help, they might as well listen to it, and then Liu will see if he can be blessed with this cicada wing sword. ”
Yan Qi clapped his hands, "Refreshing, in fact, the adults in the family asked us to ask Lord Liu for something." ”
Yan Kong heard that there was a spirit, no, the head of the family, Yan Xing, had only exchanged letters with his own son, and he had not seen any words related to Shi Liu Ye, the governor of Hezhou, in the last few correspondences. He looked at Yan Qi suspiciously, and Yan Qi blinked and signaled him not to talk nonsense.
Liu Ye's mind is not slow, and he often deals with the martial arts family, and he quickly realized that the Yan family is very likely not satisfied with the status quo and wants to come to Hezhou for development. Could it be that the Yan family wants to swallow the heads of thousands of bandits in Mangshan alone?
"What do your parents have to teach you?" Liu Ye pretended to play with the jade wrench on his thumb, so that people could not see the change in his face clearly. I have to say that he is really worried, how can Yan Qi and the others distinguish the subtle changes in the expression of an old fox like him. However, for those who are mixed with officialdom, this is also a matter of habit.
"Chaozhou is too close to Zhongshan to be a place to show your ambitions. The head of the family is in the prime of life, and he can't help but have other plans for the future of the Yan family. Yan Qi ignored Yan Kong, who was so anxious that he was about to jump to his feet, and said to himself.
Liu Ye lowered his chin imperceptibly, this is the case, but it is not so reasonable. "The Yan family is famous, and the head of the family intends to come to Hezhou for development, and Liu is very happy. However, in Hezhou's one-acre and three-point land, in addition to the imperial court, what is more important is Zhongshan's attitude. ”
Yan Qi agreed: "What the lord said is true, so the head of the family only asks for an official document from the Hezhou Taishou Mansion to ask the Yan family for reinforcements in the name of suppressing bandits, whether it is successful or not, this situation must be inherited." ”
He turned his head to Yan Kong and said: "And once the head master agrees to this matter, I hope that Lord Liu can send one or two masters in the mansion to help, do you say yes, Yan Kong." ”
Yan Qi kept talking, and his feet were not idle. Yan Kong was kicked hard, and the muscles on his round face instantly twisted in pain, but they quickly returned to normal.
"Yes, yes, the Yan family just wants to show their faces, and it is a blessing to be able to gain a foothold in Hezhou. Lord Liu has done his best for the people of Hezhou, and all matters related to the suppression of bandits should be taken by Lord Liu as the leader. Yan Kong's flattery was said smoothly, not only Liu Ye was secretly surprised, but even Yan Qi thought in his heart: Ah, if this kid is castrated into the palace, he may be able to mix into an arrogant eunuch with his sycophant kung fu.
Liu Ye's gaze finally left the jade wrench in his hand, and he summoned a subordinate to take away the cicada wing sword sent by Yan Qi. His two dull mustaches became active, and he said with a smile: "How can Liu be virtuous, he can't afford the praise of Yankong Shaoxia." Writing an official letter inviting the Yan family to come to Hezhou to suppress bandits is just a gesture, and tomorrow someone can be sent to the walking envoy yamen. The two young heroes came to touch the food, they should have saved the idea of coming to the mansion to eat, right? Please move, let's talk while drinking. ”
The dinner in Liu's Mansion was very rich, and during the banquet, Yan Qi praised a few words about the craftsmanship of the chef in the house, said some nonsense that was not salty or light, and then touched his round belly and said goodbye.
Out of Liu's Mansion, carrying an oil-paper umbrella, Yan Qi's steps were brisk.
Yan Kong was unhappy, "What kind of ecstasy soup did that Gongzixiang pour you?"
Facing Yan Kong's incomprehensible and angry questioning, Yan Qi asked rhetorically: "How many first-rate forces is the Yan family in Chaozhou Mansion?"
Yan Kong thought for a while and replied, "It's barely third-rate." ”
"That's it, the idea that the people of Changle Sect and Chang Tai dare to hit the ancestral tomb of our Yan family is because the Yan family is too weak. Compared with the vigor of the Liu family, the group of rabbits of our Yan family, if they do not go to Hezhou to experience some baptism, they will not be able to become a climate after all. Yan Qi stared at Yan Kong Zhengse.
Yan Kong squinted his eyes and looked at Yan Qi well, "Will you think about the Yan family?"
"What did Tina do to settle down. Yan Qi shrugged, "Before you came to Zhongshan, you said that no matter what entanglement I have with the Yan family, I always have the label of the Yan family, and this blood relationship cannot be broken if you want to." When the Yan family is strong, we will be strong. ”
Yan Kong turned his anger into joy and asked, "But can the head of the sect agree?"
"Mountain people have their own tricks. Yan Qi pretended to be a gesture, and then lowered his head and said with a smile, "In order to be able to hold the beauty, you, the young head of the Yan family, can be hearted." The way of the world is like this, if a man wants to marry a first-class beauty, he must always have the talent, power and ability, and if a woman wants to marry a good man, she generally only needs to be good-looking. ”
This said to Yan Kong's heart, Liu Su has reached the age of talking about marriage, according to the news from his hometown, many noble sons in the state are worried about this fair lady born in the martial arts family.
Yan Kong hurriedly said: "What should I do next?"
Yan Qi snapped his fingers on the door of his head, "What's the hurry, accompany me to forge a sword at night, and talk about it tomorrow morning." ”
Early the next morning, Yan Cao finished washing up, and came to Gongzixiang before he had time to eat breakfast. He saw Yan Kong standing at the door with a lazy face, and said helplessly: "Virtue, let's go in together." ”
After a night's rest, Gongzixiang's face was much better. It's just that when Yan Qi asked what to do next, Gongzixiang's voice still seemed a little weak.
"Lameng's house went into the water. ”
Yan Kong was puzzled: "Why, this is obviously the credit of sending it to the door." ”
Yan Qi raised his hand to signal Yan Kong not to interject, and then heard Gongzixiang say: "The Meng family is here to go to troubled waters, and the Xuanyin Daoist will speak for the Yan family." The Yan family has come to Hezhou, no matter what small actions Namifu makes, both of you can stay in Hezhou safely. ”
Yan Kong frowned tightly, and as soon as his lips moved, he closed his mouth when he saw Yan Qi hand over a 'I can't figure it out and think about it again'.
Yan Qi asked, "How did you pull the Meng family into the water?"
Gongzixiang took a breath and slowly spit out two words: "Scold him." ”
