Young Master Liu's flawless response made Li Ran a little surprised. No wonder his father and brother valued his third brother-in-law so much.
After just a few words of conversation, Li Ran understood something in her heart that Liu Mingzhi was definitely the kind of person who would not let go of the eagle when he saw the rabbit.
In just a short moment of facing Young Master Liu, Li Ran felt a little powerless when facing Young Master Liu, as if you punched the soft silk quilt, and all the strength was invisible.
Li Ran raised her eyes and glanced at Mr. Liu, who was quietly eating pastry. He slowly picked up the tea cup and tasted the tea, hiding the strange color on his face.
After a long time, the plate of pastries was completely wiped out by Mr. Liu. Apart from the pleasantries when they first met, there was only the sound of Mr. Liu chewing, and there was no other sound in the living room.
For nearly half the incense stick, the two of them didn't exchange a word.
Li Ran, who had already drank three cups of tea, gradually couldn't hold it any longer. Liu Mingzhi was far more difficult to deal with than he imagined.
Li Ran gently put down the tea cup in his hand and coughed lightly: "Brother-in-law, are the pastries in my house so delicious? You can actually eat them with such joy and relish!"
Liu Mingzhi patted the residue on his hand, chuckled and shook his head at Li Ran,
"Second Sister, it's not that these pastries are so delicious that I can't put them down, but Second Sister, if you have experienced running thousands of miles, eating a piece of solid food when you are hungry, and drinking some snow water when you are thirsty, you will know that the taste of these pastries is simply the most delicious in the world. exist."
Li Ran was startled, and after a moment's thought, he understood the meaning of Liu Mingzhi's words.
In the ice and snow, with the roads slippery and blocked, Liu Dashao led more than 200,000 soldiers and horses to attack from the Kingdom of Jin to the Northern Territory of Dalong, and then from the Northern Territory back to the capital to rescue King Qin. It only took him more than thirty days. The day is nothing short of a miracle.
Li Ran has lived in Jeju with her husband Wanjie all year round, so she naturally understands the influence of weather conditions on marching.
Looking at Young Master Liu's somewhat sad expression, Li Ran couldn't help but have a picture emerge in his mind.
More than 200,000 cavalry rushed across the wilderness, facing the harsh weather of wind and snow. When they were hungry, they gnawed on hard pancakes, and when they were thirsty, they galloped on the snow water, which made their hearts tremble and their expressions were slightly startled. .
What kind of elite army should this be?
As the command was issued, nothing in front of them could stop their charge.
Wherever the handsome flag goes, that is where the cavalry goes.
Elite?
No, it should be the elite among the elite.
Her husband is also a member of the army, so Li Ran naturally has some understanding of the situation of the soldiers. Not only is Dalong, but if he can find a second army all over the world that has the same number of soldiers and horses as Liu Dashao's two hundred thousand cavalry, I'm afraid they will all Not very easy.
Perhaps Liu Mingzhi's repeated victories in every campaign since the Jin Kingdom suppressed the rebellion have a lot to do with his strategy of leading troops and the soldiers and horses under his command.
Li Ran gradually came back to her senses as she thought about it, Liu Yemei frowned slightly, showing a unique charm.
She suddenly realized that she was the one who asked the question, but was instead dragged into a ditch by Liu Mingzhi. She lost the initiative and almost ignored her original purpose of inviting Liu Mingzhi into the house for a chat.
Taking a slow and deep breath, Li Ran calmed down and secretly warned herself that she must not forget her purpose and be led astray by Young Master Liu again.
"Brother-in-law, have you had enough to eat and drink?"
Young Master Liu was stunned for a moment, then pulled the pastries in front of Li Ran in front of him with a shameless expression.
"Second sister, if you don't mind, the boy will also enjoy this plate of pastries."
"People would rather eat to their fullest than go hungry. Eat as much as possible when you have something to eat, so as not to go hungry when you have nothing to eat."
"Second sister probably has never felt the feeling of hunger, but my little brother has experienced it several times."
“It’s hard to maintain food supply, so I have to cut back on my food intake and feel hungry. I will never forget it in my life.”
"I'm sure that those who say that gobbling up food is unbecoming of a gentleman must have never been hungry. To put it bluntly, for these so-called gentlemen, they were starved for three days and three nights. Not to mention eating, they only ate scraps. fragrant."
"At that time, they will completely forget about the so-called gentleman's demeanor. It doesn't matter what is shameless."
"People have no face when they are extremely hungry."
"I think that my second brother Wan Jie should be more familiar with the scene that I just talked about. They are also the ones who led the troops. I believe that my second brother must have felt deeply about it."
Li Ran nodded subconsciously. More than once, she saw her husband Wan Jie devouring food after returning from the expedition. Thinking about it, Li Ran hurriedly shook her head and forced the things out of her mind.
It seemed that he had been led astray by Liu Mingzhi again.
He invited him here because of his nephew Li Tao's affairs, not to hear about his life in the general's brigade.
Watching Young Master Liu holding the pastry and chewing it slowly, Li Ran picked up the pot and poured a cup of tea for Young Master Liu. He made up his mind. It seemed that he had to get straight to the point, otherwise he would not be able to get to the point until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse. .
"Brother-in-law, I think you must have heard about the second prince Li Ye's intention to seize the throne, right?"
Young Master Liu pinched the pastry with his fingers, and the crispy pastry broke instantly. Young Master Liu hurriedly held it in his hand and stuffed it into his mouth.
Young Master Liu's eyes flickered slightly, and he sighed silently in his heart. It seemed that the procrastination technique no longer worked.
Liu Mingzhi placed the plate on the table, picked up the tea and drank it all in one gulp, looking at Li Ran's meaningful eyes and nodding slightly.
"Of course my little brother has heard about it!"
Li Ran breathed a sigh of relief and finally got to the point: "Then as my brother-in-law..."
"My little brother has been thinking deeply all night. I think this is probably a conspiracy of the Jin Kingdom or the Turks. The purpose is to make me, Dalong, fall into civil strife again."
"The purpose is self-evident. The internal strife in my dragon is so great that both of them can benefit from it."
"What do you think the second sister is?"
Young Master Liu cut off Li Ran's words and gave his answer directly.
He didn't care whether the matter of the second prince Li Tao's seizure of the throne was a calm one or a demonic one. He didn't want to get involved until the matter was clear.
The second prince was welcomed back by Wan Mingliang and Li Ran. It would be best if the matter of seizing the throne was fake or real. Liu Mingzhi also planned to wait and see what happens. As long as Li Tao's matter did not become a foregone conclusion, he did not need to pay attention to these things at all.
Li Ran was slightly startled, looking at Young Master Liu's chuckle, the color in his bright eyes became brighter and brighter.
Li Ran gently tapped the table with her jade fingers, and nodded slightly.
"It seems that my brother-in-law and I have the same ideas."
"In this case, I can rest assured. The purpose of inviting you here this time is to see your opinion, brother-in-law. Now I feel confident."
"As long as you, brother-in-law, believe that Tao'er has no intention of competing with Ye'er for the throne, I believe that this evil wind will not be raging in the capital for long."
"The second sister is so complimentary. The younger brother is just doing his best."
"Brother-in-law is too modest. There are 300,000 elite cavalry with a strong evil spirit guarding the outside of the city. I can't even think of any monsters and monsters becoming rampant."
Liu Mingzhi frowned slightly and then relaxed.
"According to my second sister's words, I hope there really won't be any demons and monsters coming out to cause trouble. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind trying the weapons in my brothers' hands to see if they can stop the gods from killing gods and the Buddhas from killing the Buddhas."
"I believe in the vision of my father and brother. In this case, I will keep a brother-in-law soon. A man and a woman alone should not get along for too long, lest they cause some trouble."
"We have the same opinion. In this case, I will take my leave. My second sister will stay and talk more when I have time."
"It's easy to leave without seeing him off!"
"Stay!"
Li Ran stood up and walked outside the hall. Looking at the back of Liu Dashao walking carelessly, Liu Yemei sighed slightly.
"Who is trying to trap my Wan family into injustice? Is my brother-in-law really ignorant, or is he pretending to be confused because he understands?"
Li Ran came back to her senses, clapped her hands gently, and a white shadow floated over.
"Wei Di Li Rong meets His Highness!"
"Have you found anything?"
"Princess, forgive me, there is no trace of the rumor.asxs."
"Has the reply from Mrs. He arrived?"
"It should be on the way. I'll try my best to urge him!"
"Okay, please step aside first. I will go to the Duke's Mansion to pay homage to my father-in-law before we talk!"
"Farewell to the princess!"
Young Master Liu left Princess Jingning's Mansion and rushed towards the Liu Mansion without stopping at all.
In the span of a stick of incense, Young Master Liu returned to the mansion. After writing some things in the study, he rushed to Qi Yun's room, took out the training stick and chased the three Liu Chengfeng brothers.
After a while, the quiet Liu Mansion became agitated.
Mr. Liu's third sworn brother, Brown, was huddled in the corner and shivering. He didn't dare to mess around with the three brothers for fear of getting into trouble and becoming a hotpot.
During the tea time, the three brothers Liu Chengfeng, Liu Chengqian, and Liu Chengzhi started swaying in the wind on the trees in the courtyard.
Young Master Liu slapped his palms with the training stick and wandered around with a gloomy face, occasionally glaring at the three brothers who were writhing their buttocks and howling.
"If I don't beat you, you really don't have a long memory. You really dare to think about going to a brothel at the age of eleven!"
"I really don't know what to do. You are so young and have such a small physique. What's the point of going there? You're just wasting money and making other girls feel disgusted."
"If your own strength is not good enough, what kind of brothel do you go to? Do you want to play mahjong?"
"Huh? Huh? Huh?"
"Have you learned all your knowledge from dogs during your years in the Imperial College?"
"Can you learn more about the behavior of a gentleman? You three little ancestors, can you give me a long face? Let me save some worry!"
"Wealth cannot be lascivious, power cannot be subdued. If you don't learn these good habits, why can't you learn to adjust them? You are going to piss me off to death."
"Old...Old...Dad, if you can't be slutty with wealth, why do our Liu family need so much wealth, gold and silver?"
Young Master Liu was startled, feeling that his outlook on life had deviated a bit!
Is this how you understand that wealth cannot be promiscuous?
When he came back to his senses, Young Master Liu was furious and roared at the three brothers.
"Damn it, does this mean that rich people can't be promiscuous? Which goddamn master taught this? I'll kill him!"
"You can't be promiscuous when you're rich. What do you want to be rich for? Are these ridiculous remarks taught to you by some old bastard who gave birth to a son with kidney failure?"
"Isn't this deviant, isn't this misleading?"
"Uh...uh...grandpa taught me!"
