Liu Mingzhi and the pretty woman stayed in the shack, looking at the heavy raindrops falling to the ground outside, and chatting comfortably all morning.
"Sister Tao, I'm a little hungry. Why don't we go to a restaurant for a meal together? Let's continue chatting when we get back!"
Liu Mingzhi actually didn't know who was older, between himself and Pretty Lady, but Young Master Liu, who was pretending to be young, preemptively called her sister.
The sibling relationship between the two was thus established.
Usually, they call each other brother and sister.
The pretty girl smiled and shook her head: "No one loves me in the first place, and even more so when I get fat.
You go and eat by yourself. My sister is here waiting for you to come back. By the way, she will help you look at the stalls to see if there are any beautiful women who are as shameless as your sister and come to have a tryst with you despite the wind and rain.
It would be a pity if you missed it! "
"As you can tell, you are the only beautiful woman who can see that my younger brother is a wonderful person. Sister Tao, you are the only one.
Other beauties don't have such a sharp eye.
Well, since you don't want to eat, I won't be polite to you anymore. Let me borrow my oil-paper umbrella. "
The pretty girl reached out and picked up her oil-paper umbrella and handed it to Liu Mingzhi. She walked to Liu Mingzhi's reclining chair and reclined for a while, lazily stretching her graceful and curvy body without being polite at all. mean.
Liu Mingzhi smiled as he was used to it, and looked at the pretty woman's plump mountains without hesitation for a while, then he smiled and raised his oil-paper umbrella and rushed towards Penglai Restaurant.
"Why are you settling the score again? Didn't I tell you to have a good rest? Didn't you know that you were pregnant?
Where is Lingyi? Don't tell your husband that she went to the kitchen to slurp a large spoon again! "
"No, Lingyi went upstairs to rest. It's windy and rainy today. That girl Qingrui didn't go out with you, but she was busy taking care of Lingyi. This girl really doesn't know what to say to me!
I was idle myself, doing some calculations for the morning.
I have been sitting here and I am not tired.
Your stomach is not up yet, husband, don’t worry, I will take good care of your health! "
Liu Mingzhi helped Xue Bizhu sit on the stool and glanced at the sparse guests on the first floor: "You just don't know how to cherish your body.
With so few guests, why not just let Accountant Yang do the accounting? Why do you have to do everything yourself? "
Xue Bizhu sat on the stool, raised her head and looked pitifully at her husband's complaining eyes: "Good husband, I know I was wrong.
Just stop talking, okay? Don't worry, I will definitely take a good rest when I'm tired.
I finally became pregnant with my husband's flesh and blood, how could I not take it seriously?
Okay, I will take care of myself.
Have you been hungry all morning again? If you want to eat anything, I will ask the cook to prepare it for you right away. "
"Just grab a couple of random dishes to fill your stomach."
"Okay, I understand!"
"Brother Erniu, ask the chef to prepare a stack of soy sauce beef and a stack of cold vegetables for my husband. By the way, bring me a pot of bamboo leaf greens."
"Okay, shopkeeper, please wait a moment with me!"
The second brother ran towards the backyard with a smile. Xue Bizhu leaned forward and glanced outside the door, giving Young Master Liu a sweet and angry look.
"It's lightning and thunder, wind and rain, and your pretty sister comes to you for a tryst, rain or shine?
The same goes for you, why don't you call her over to have dinner with me, so that I can get to know my future sisters' personalities and whether they can get along well with each other! "
Liu Mingzhi smiled and rubbed his nose: "Don't talk nonsense, my husband and Sister Tao just got along well, nothing else happened.
Although the conversation was a bit private, it was still affectionate and polite, as innocent as green onions mixed with tofu. "
After Liu Mingzhi finished speaking, he sighed quietly: "Not everyone can treat all women equally, regardless of whether they are wives or concubines, and take extra care of them like a husband.
She is just a miserable person who deliberately hides her bitter life with an uninhibited smile. "
"It's good that you know. If you don't know when to attract someone's love, wouldn't your life be even more miserable?"
"Don't worry, even if my husband has that intention, Sister Tao is not that kind of person."
"Sister Tao, what you call is so kind!"
"Scene words, just scene words!"
"Uncle, your food and drinks are here!"
"You're tired, let's get busy!"
"Yes, uncle, please use it slowly."
"Bizhu, do you want some more?"
"No, I still have some accounts to settle!"
"When you are tired, remember to rest!"
"As you command! My lord husband!"
Mr. Liu, who was full of wine and food, held up an oil-paper umbrella and walked out of the restaurant.
Seeing Liu Song sitting by the door with his legs crossed, cracking melon seeds and reading a book, he went up and kicked him.
"If you read less books like this, you won't die. Don't you even have lunch?"
Liu Song got up from the ground, raised the book in his hand with an aggrieved look and handed it to Young Master Liu.
"Master, I read "Spring and Autumn"!"
Young Master Liu leaned forward to take a look and opened a few more pages. Hey! It really is "Spring and Autumn".
Waving his hands in embarrassment, Young Master Liu held an umbrella and walked towards the shanty: "Look, look! Go eat by yourself if you're hungry!"
"knew!"
"Sister Tao, my little brother has come in!"
The pretty girl who was sleeping opened one eye and looked at the mean-spirited Young Master Liu who was standing outside and chuckled twice: "Come in, sister can't wait for a long time!"
Young Master Liu put away his oil-paper umbrella, sat on a stool nearby, poured a cup of herbal tea and began to taste it.
"Sister Tao, it's so windy and rainy today, you might get cold when you go back later.
I've eaten and drank enough. As the saying goes, what do you think about when you're full and warm? How about I find you a place to keep warm today?
My little brother is not only proficient in astronomy, geography, Yin and Yang Bagua, but also other things!
Do you want to see something? "
The pretty woman rolled her eyes softly: "How warm can it make my sister so horny that she feels like dying?
If you can't, forget it. My sister doesn't like a man who says he can turn the world upside down, but when it comes to real swordsmanship, it's useless.
can you? Don't just take off your clothes and be done with it! "
Young Master Liu chuckled: "Hehe! As the saying goes, what you see on paper will only make you realize it is shallow, but you must know how to do it.
There is another saying before: Young people can only master Kung Fu when they are old. Although I am not old, I have almost mastered this Kung Fu.
Whether it works or not, you have to try it..."
The sound of steady and powerful footsteps interrupted Liu Mingzhi's words, and a generous and burly figure stood outside the shed despite the wind and rain.
"Third brother!"
Liu Mingzhi was stunned and looked up: "Brother! Why are you here?
Come on, come on, I am talking about the wonderful things with Sister Tao, you also..."
"It's business!"
Liu Mingzhi finally noticed that Song Qing's expression was a little heavy, and he stood up suddenly: "What's wrong?"
Song Qing glanced at the pretty woman reclining on the recliner but said nothing.
The pretty lady was very discerning. She stood up and picked up the oil-paper umbrella beside her and smiled lightly at Liu Mingzhi and nodded.
"Sister, go and wait under the roof of the restaurant first. If you're really busy, you can leave. It's not a big deal. Sister, I'll come back later."
"Okay! Sister Tao, please go and enjoy the rainy scenery of the capital for a while!"
After the pretty lady held an umbrella and left, Liu Mingzhi motioned to Song Qing to sit down and talk.
"What's wrong? Your face is so heavy. What happened?"
"Brother received a message from Ganzhou. Dai, Lu, Zhong, Fu... 18 caravans totaling 3,743 people were in Tianzhu with a so-called black-clothed big man. The two countries were looted and massacred!"
When Liu Mingzhi was about to open the jade fan, he paused and looked at Song Qing with a frown.
"The caravan was looted and massacred? When did the news come?"
"I received the letter half an hour ago, and I couldn't wait to come to you!"
"How many people came back after escaping death?"
Song Qing's expression was heavy and he looked at Liu Mingzhi hesitantly. He pursed his lips for a long time before stretching out a finger.
When Liu Mingzhi saw this, he frowned and narrowed his eyes.
"Only a thousand people came back?"
Song Qing shook his head silently, his lips trembling and unable to speak.
Liu Mingzhi stood up stiffly, looking down at Song Qing with his eyes gradually becoming sharper.
"Don't tell me that only a hundred people came back."
Song Qing shook his head with red eyes and clenched his fists.
"One person, one dragon flag!
The remaining 3,742 people were all slaughtered in a foreign country and would never come back! "
With a crisp sound, the jade fan in Liu Mingzhi's hand slipped quietly onto the table, rolled twice, and stopped at the edge.
Liu Mingzhi fell weakly on the stool, staring blankly at Song Qing's sad expression, his eyes becoming heavy.
"One...only one person came back?"
"Yes, only Lu Fengshuang, the second son of the Lu family, came back, and he hurried back across mountains and rivers carrying our big dragon flag.
I started returning to my Dalong territory around October last year, and finally returned to Ganzhou City a few days ago! "
With trembling arms, Liu Mingzhi picked up the tea on the side and moved it towards the corner of his mouth, but the amount he drank was not as much as it dripped on his clothes.
“More than three thousand people! More than three thousand people!
It has been more than two years since I established the new dynasty. Even in the past two years, various state capitals have suffered from natural and man-made disasters, and more than 3,000 people have been killed or injured in one fell swoop!
Now, more than 3,000 people are gone like this?
Is it unclear whether the local court was responsible? Or was it the hands of local bandits and robbers?
According to the letter, people from the two imperial courts coveted the money and goods of the caravan and joined together to kill and loot!
The specifics are yet to be determined. "
There was a muffled sound, and the teacup in Liu Mingzhi's hand broke into pieces.
"Cianzhu! Dashi in black!"
Liu Mingzhi stood up with evil eyes. He didn't even pick up the oil-paper umbrella. With his joints turning white, he picked up the jade fan and held it tightly in his hands. He walked out of the shack and faced the oncoming storm towards the palace gate. direction.
Song Qing, who was closely behind, instinctively raised his hand to catch it, holding the gold medal thrown by Liu Mingzhi in his hand.
"His Majesty?"
"Jin Diao passed the letter, General of the Six Guards of the New Army, General of the Six Guards of Northern Xinjiang, Marshal Wanyan Chizha of the Beifu Acting Troopers and Horses, Warlord Yeruha, Marshal Hu Yanyu of the New Prefecture's Acting Troops and Horses, Governor Bahanna, Ten There are 12 generals including Ashimu, the general of each battalion of the second division.
Eight hundred miles rushed to Beijing to see him, and those who disobeyed the order were punished on the spot. "
"Got the order!"
"Willow Pine!"
Liu Song, who was cracking melon seeds under the eaves of the restaurant, hurriedly ran out: "Master?
Where is your umbrella? If you don’t hold an umbrella, you might get caught in the wind..."
"Enter the palace immediately and deliver my oral instructions.
The generals and drums are beaten together, and the official bell is sounded. "
"Yes! Resign, little one!"
The pretty lady standing under the eaves of Penglai Restaurant looked at Mr. Liu who was walking away against the wind and rain, and was stunned for a while.
Is that domineering figure from the back really the dirty-talking little brother I know so well?
She shook her head in confusion, and when Liu Mingzhi's back disappeared into the wind and rain, Pretty Woman also held up an oil paper umbrella and disappeared into the wind and rain.
