Liu Xuan smelled the turbid smell emanating from the wine cellar and immediately turned the lantern in her hand aside.
Seeing the younger sister's actions, Young Master Liu raised his eyebrows with a smile.
"Hey, little sister is quite experienced. Brother Wei was just about to tell you to put the lantern farther away!"
Hearing her eldest brother's teasing words, Liu Xuan frowned and gave Young Master Liu a roll of her eyes.
"My good brother, do you think I am still the little girl who was only about six or seven years old and didn't understand anything?
Xuan'er, I knew it when I was ten years old, okay? "
"Yes, yes, Xuan'er, you are the smartest, okay."
Liu Xuan rolled her eyes angrily again, and said with a smile: "Brother, I can tell from the tone of your voice that you obviously don't mean what you say."
"Yes, I can't even praise you for your brother's sake."
"Brother, I can't tolerate your compliments little sister."
Young Master Liu chuckled and shook his head, leaning sideways on the door of the wine cellar.
"Concerning the so-called Demon Queen Ren Qingrui, little sister, do you have any good suggestions?"
Liu Xuan raised her eyebrows and shrugged her shoulders with a smile.
“To be honest, my little sister doesn’t have any good suggestions.
Take your time, maybe one day you will know the truth. "
After hearing the younger sister's answer, Young Master Liu rubbed his forehead with a slightly helpless expression.
"It's okay if you don't take your time. After all, I don't have a clue right now, brother."
Liu Xuan looked at her eldest brother's helpless expression, raised her jade finger and pointed at the door of the wine cellar.
"Brother, the turbid energy should have almost dissipated, right?"
Young Master Liu leaned forward and sniffed at the door of the wine cellar, then chuckled and nodded.
"Okay, let's go in."
"Hey, here we come."
Under the illumination of the lantern, Young Master Liu smiled and pointed at the wooden shelves in the wine cellar, where jars of aged wines were neatly placed.
“Little sister, what kind of drink do you want to drink?
Bamboo Leaf Green, Nuerhong, Xinghuacun... Dozens of kinds of fine wines are available in our wine cellar.
Moreover, they are all vintage wines. "
"Brother, why are there so many wine jars over there? What kind of fine wine are they?"
"Over there is the peach blossom wine brewed by your sister-in-law Qi Ya. She prepared it for me alone."
Liu Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard her elder brother's answer, and she hurriedly walked towards the wine jars piled up like hills in front of her on the left.
"Peach blossom stuffing? Are these all?"
"Hehehe, yes, these are all."
"Brother, what year are they all from?"
"Arranged from left to right, the oldest one is about thirty years old, and the youngest one is only about one year old."
Liu Xuan raised her brows, turned around and ran towards the pile of thirty-year-old wine bottles in front of her on the left.
"Brother, what kind of wine is that over there?"
"Our old man sells the best Thousand Flowers."
"What about the year?"
"The highest is about one hundred and twenty years, and the lowest is only about half a year."
Liu Xuan looked happy and suddenly turned her head to look at Young Master Liu.
"Hey, it has been stored in the cellar for about one hundred and twenty years. Is that the fine wine our grandfather left behind?"
Young Master Liu rolled up his sleeves and nodded happily.
"Hahaha, what else? Our old man wants to stay, but he must be of that age!"
Liu Xuan smiled and rubbed her delicate white hands, then walked lightly towards the pile of most inconspicuous wine jars in the corner of the wine cellar.
“Hehehe, hehehe, it’s about one hundred and twenty years old, it’s about one hundred and twenty years old wine.
Brother, is this a lot of wine? "
Hearing the younger sister's question, Mr. Liu's expression tightened and he quickly walked towards Liu Xuan.
"Stinky girl, you don't want to take advantage of these century-old wines, do you?"
Liu Xuan saw the nervous look on Young Master Liu's face, put the lantern into his hand, and with a smile, picked up the drinks and looked at them carefully.
"Brother, look at your nervous expression.
So what if these fine wines are millennium-old wines? Isn't it the same as drinks?
Since it is fine wine, it is for drinking.
As for whether it is a decades-old wine or a century-old wine, is there any difference? "
Young Master Liu looked at the careless movements of his younger sister carrying the jar of century-old wine, and his heart suddenly rose to his throat.
"Smelly girl, that's what I said, but..."
Before Young Master Liu could finish speaking, Liu Xuan looked at him with a coquettish expression and interrupted him.
"Oh, but what? But, brother, just tell me if you can drink it?"
Young Master Liu looked at the coquettish look on his little sister's pretty face. He was silent for a moment with a tangled look on his face, and then nodded with a look of pain on his face.
"I can... I can drink."
Seeing her elder brother agreeing to her request with a pained look on her face, Liu Xuan narrowed her pretty eyes with a smile, leaned her waist and put the wine jar in her hand directly at her feet.
Immediately, she leaned her slender waist and looked at the wine jar in front of her.
Seeing his little sister's actions, Mr. Liu's expression suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly opened his arms to stop her.
"Xuan'er, Xuan'er, my good sister, isn't one jar enough?
These are truly century-old wines. If you drink one bottle, you will lose one. "
Liu Xuan looked at Young Master Liu's nervous expression and rolled her eyes angrily.
"Oh, my dear brother, can you stop being so stingy?
This jar of wine is not enough for me, this girl, to drink by myself?
oh! When we bring the drinks to the pavilion later, won’t you drink?
Don’t our father, mother and the rest drink?
Uncle Qi, Uncle Qi, your father-in-law, your mother-in-law, don’t you two drink?
Sisters-in-law, mistress, brother Jiuniu, don’t you want to drink?
This girl, my nephews, nieces, Chengfeng, Yaoyao, Yue'er, how many of them, don't you drink?
There are so many drinkers in our family, so we brought a jar of century-old wine over.
At that time, no one can share three glasses of wine. Do you think this is appropriate? "
"Uh! Uh! This...this..."
Liu Xuan looked at her eldest brother's hesitant expression and asked righteously again: "Good brother, do you think it's appropriate?"
Young Master Liu looked at Liu Xuan, then looked back at the wine jar behind him, and shook his head with a depressed expression.
"No...inappropriate."
"Besides, when we were leaving the garden just now, eldest brother, you personally promised to give it to me, little sister.
When we get to the wine cellar, little sister, we can drink whatever wine we want.
Good brother, in my little sister’s mind, you are the most honest person.
Brother, you personally promised me, little sister.
You should not break your promise. "
"Uh! No, no."
Liu Xuan raised her eyebrows and waved her hand towards Young Master Liu with a smile.
"That's alright, good brother, let's get out of the way."
Young Master Liu saw his little sister's happy face, nodded helplessly, and took two steps back with his feet as heavy as a stone.
"Little sister!"
"Hey, good brother, tell me."
"Don't be too cruel."
Liu Xuan looked at Young Master Liu with angrily eyes and lightly stamped her lotus feet.
"Oh, brother."
Young Master Liu had a bitter look on his face, he put the lantern directly into Liu Xuan's hand, turned around and walked out of the wine cellar.
"Okay, okay, whatever you want, I'll find someone to carry the wine for my brother."
"Thank you big brother, long live big brother."
Listening to the surprised tone of the younger sister, Liu Dashao replied without looking back: "Thank you for your head, long live your head, stinky girl, please don't be too cruel."
"Brother, don't worry, little sister is sensible."
"hope so."
Liu Xuan watched her eldest brother walk out of the wine cellar, directly hung the lantern in her hand aside, and walked towards the wine jars containing century-old wines with a smile on her face.
Liu Mingzhi walked out of the door of the wine cellar unhurriedly and looked back at the candlelight swaying in the wine cellar behind him. The look of pain and helplessness on his face gradually returned to normal.
He tightened the cloak around him, looked indifferent, looked up at the bright moon in the night sky with a faint look, and walked slowly towards the outside of the backyard.
When he walked out of the backyard, he smiled and made a few gestures to the shadows next to him.
"The little one is here."
"Suzaku."
"I obey, little one."
The breeze blew slowly, and a figure leaped away in the darkness against the bright moonlight.
Young Master Liu smiled and twirled the jade ring on his thumb, then turned to look at the maids carrying lanterns coming and going in the corridor to the right.
"Someone is coming."
Four or five maids heard Mr. Liu's shouts and hurriedly came forward with lanterns in their hands.
"Sisters, please see the young master."
"No gifts."
"Thank you, Master."
Young Master Liu looked at the leading maid, smiled slightly, raised his finger and pointed in the direction of the wine cellar in the backyard.
"Xianger, the eldest lady is selecting drinks in the wine cellar. You sisters, go and help.
After meeting the eldest lady, you will do whatever she asks you to do. "
"Slave, I obey."
"Go ahead."
"Slave, please leave."
After the maids carried lanterns to the backyard, Young Master Liu casually put his hands behind his back and closed his eyes to rest.
It took about a while to make a cup of tea.
A beautiful figure stepped on the moon, and its ethereal figure flew down in front of Young Master Liu.
"Qier, please see the young master."
Young Master Liu looked at the people in front of him who were wearing bamboo hats and veils, and held up his hands with a smile.
"Quier, please excuse me."
"Thank you, Master."
Suzaku lifted the veil under the bamboo hat and looked around. After making sure that no one else was around, he opened his arms with a smile and took Young Master Liu's right hand into his plump arms.
"Master, come to Que'er at this time. Do you miss Que'er?"
Young Master Liu curled his fingers to hook Jiaren's pretty nose, and let out a long breath with his brows slightly furrowed.
"Quer, we have business."
When Zhuque heard this, his expression straightened up, and he quickly let go of Young Master Liu's right hand.
"Master, please give me your instructions."
"Quieer."
"The bird is here."
"Master, I have a very important matter here. I need you to send all the brothers from the Suzaku Division to investigate secretly."
"Please give me your instructions, Master."
Young Master Liu turned his head and looked around, then leaned towards Suzaku's round earlobe.
"Qie'er, strictly investigate all the masters who are proficient in the art of poison among Willow Leaf Brother.
Especially women. "
Suzaku's delicate body trembled slightly, and her eyes looked at Young Master Liu in astonishment.
"What? Check...check Willow Leaf?
Master, are you sure? "
Liu Mingzhi looked at the beautiful woman's surprised expression and gently patted her beautiful wrist.
"Sure, check."
Suzaku pursed her lips gently, looked at Young Master Liu hesitantly and asked softly: "Master, I dare you to do it again.
A strict search will be conducted on all the masters who are proficient in the art of poison among Willow Ye's brothers.
Master, are you sure? "
Young Master Liu breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Suzaku with a solemn expression and nodded vigorously.
"Qier, Master, I solemnly tell you, sure!"
"Gudu."
Hearing the young master's affirmative tone, Suzaku couldn't help but slide his white and tender neck.
"Yes, Que'er understands."
"Master."
"Um?"
Suzaku's pretty face looked at Young Master Liu with embarrassment: "Master, Nei Liu... Nei Liu also needs to be investigated?"
Young Master Liu took a deep breath, looked at Suzaku and nodded silently.
"As long as it is Brother Liu Ye, whether it is inner Liu or outer Liu, it will be strictly investigated."
"Master."
"you say."
"Master, if we just investigate Wailiu, it would be easier for the brothers.
But, on Nei Liu's side, the brothers on Nei Liu's side are just... just...
Young Master, the three thousand inner willows in Willow Leaf Brother are all murderers who lick blood with their swords.
Looking at the entire river and lake, every one of them is a murderous being without blinking an eye.
At that time, if there is a conflict between the brothers of Suzaku Division and the seniors of Nei Liu..."
Liu Mingzhi saw the nervous look on Suzaku's pretty face, smiled slightly, turned his head and glanced in the direction of the garden.
"Que'er, tell the brothers, there is no need to have any worries when investigating the Nei Liu disciples.
During their secret investigation of Nei Liu's masters, if they had some unnecessary conflicts with Nei Liu's masters, they would just reveal their identity as Secret Agent. "
"Yes, Que'er knows."
Liu Mingzhi looked at Suzaku in front of him guiltily, nodded slightly and kissed the beauty's fair and tender forehead.
"Suzaku, the young master will not be able to spend the night with you today."
Suzaku smiled and shook his head, stood up on his lotus feet and pecked Young Master Liu on the lips.
"Master, Que'er understands."
"Quieer."
"Hey, Master?"
Liu Mingzhi raised his hand and caressed the beauty's forehead and cheeks, looking at the person in front of him guiltily.
"Madam, I have wronged you."
Hearing Young Master Liu's address to him, Suzaku's delicate body trembled suddenly, and his eyes instantly turned red.
Suzaku blinked his pretty red eyes hard a few times, smiled and kissed Young Master Liu lightly on the lips.
"Husband...husband...young master, Que'er will take his leave first."
Young Master Liu nodded slightly and said softly: "Madam, please pay attention to your safety."
Suzaku smiled lightly, patted Young Master Liu's arm, and leaped away.
"Master, Que'er is leaving."
