Song Qing, Li Yunping, Wei Yong and others noticed Xia Gongming's helpless eyes and looked away angrily.
How could they not know in their own minds how clumsy the excuses they and others had just given were, and how they could not stand up to scrutiny.
In other words, there is no need to think about it at all.
Because such an excuse can be seen at a glance as long as you are not a fool.
However, there is no way around this.
If he could think of other reasons, why would he use such a poor excuse as Xia Gongming just used?
At this moment, Li Yunping, Wei Yong, and Du Chenghao all had the same idea in their hearts.
Either everyone escapes together, or no one escapes.
Xia Gongming saw the changes in everyone's expressions, and after thinking for a moment, he immediately guessed what Li Yunping, Cai Jun, and Song Yu were thinking.
After guessing what these people were thinking, Xia Gongming cursed again in his heart.
He, his mother, is not the son of a human being, he is not the son of a human being!
I'm an old man and I'm already so old, but you guys are going to stab me in the back like this?
Are you still a human being?
Xia Gongming cursed silently in his heart, and glanced at Young Master Liu with a wry smile.
Okay, that's it, let's do whatever it is.
However, I’m not having a good time, and neither are you ungrateful bastards.
I fell into the water, I have to pull you into the water.
Xia Gongming pretended to glance at the people around him casually, a flash of light quickly flashed in his old eyes, and his arms swung constantly to lift the pot and refill himself a glass of wine.
Although I am not really drunk, I still have to pretend to be drunk.
After all, I just said that I was drunk.
Now I'm not drunk all of a sudden, what's going on?
Therefore, I have to continue to pretend.
Otherwise, if he is not careful, he will be known as a bully.
After Xia Gongming made up his mind, he looked at Young Master Liu with drunken eyes, and raised his wine glass with shaking arms to signal.
He looked like he was eighty percent drunk and could barely hold the glass.
"Your Majesty, I spilled my drink just now. I will make up for it now."
However, Mr. Liu's words immediately confused Xia Gongming.
Young Master Liu gently turned the wine glass in his hand and looked at Xia Gongming with a smile.
"Sir, you are almost drunk now.
In my opinion, you'd better not replenish this glass of wine, otherwise you'll fall down under the table after just one glass of wine.
If this happens, wouldn't you remember nothing at all? "
When Xia Gongming heard these words from Young Master Liu, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, and a look of astonishment quickly flashed through his eyes.
No, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why don't you act according to common sense?
I had already planned it. After drinking this drink, I tried to bring the topic to Cai Jun, Li Yunping, Wei Yong, Du Chenghao and others, so as to drag them into the water.
However, when Young Master Liu said this, it could be said that it directly disrupted his plan.
Song Qing, Zhou Baoyu, Jiang Yuanming and others saw Xia Gongming's embarrassed expression and quickly drank quietly again.
At the same time, I kept thinking secretly in my heart.
Your majesty is wise.
Your majesty is wise!
After Xia Gongming reacted, he looked at the wine in his hand with tangled eyes.
Neither does it matter if you drink it, nor does it matter if you don’t drink it.
"Your Majesty, veteran... veteran..."
Young Master Liu spoke directly, interrupting Xia Gongming's stammering words.
"My lord."
"The old minister is here."
Liu Mingzhi brought the wine glass to his mouth, raised his head slightly, and drank the wine in one gulp.
"Sir, since you are not strong enough to drink today, there is no need to drink this glass of wine.
We have almost finished drinking. Sir, please go back and rest first. "
Hearing Young Master Liu's words, Xia Gongming looked stunned and did not react for a while.
"Huh? What?"
"Ah what? Master, do you still want to get drunk?"
This time, Xia Gongming finally reacted.
He hurriedly shook his head at Young Master Liu and put the wine glass directly on the table.
“No, no, no, sir, I am old now and I really can’t continue drinking.
Sir, if I continue to drink, I will have to lie in bed for three days.
Sir, thank you for your understanding. Thank you for your understanding. "
Liu Mingzhi smiled lightly and shook his head, then turned and glanced at Song Qing, Zhou Baoyu, Cai Jun and others.
"My dear friends, if you are already drunk, please go back and rest."
Hearing what Mr. Liu said, a group of people put down their wine glasses without hesitation and stood up in unison to salute.
"I will wait until another day to get drunk with Your Majesty before resting."
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly and waved his hand casually.
"Let's all go."
"I'll take my leave first."
"Um."
"Your Highness, the eldest prince, I will take my leave first."
"Okay, okay, take your time and don't send me away."
"Willow Pine."
"The little one is here."
"Go and give this to all my dear friends."
"Yes, I will obey, little one."
Liu Song nodded, smiled lightly and waved to Xia Gongming, Cai Jun and others.
"My lords, please come this way."
"We have little brother Liusong."
"Okay, okay, then it's time for Brother Liusong to make a trip."
"It's your duty, it's your duty."
"Mr. Xia Ge, please slow down, please slow down, I will help you."
It takes just a dozen breaths.
In the study, only Mr. Liu and Liu Chengfeng and his son were left.
Young Master Liu skillfully lit a pot of dry smoke, stood up and walked towards the bookshelf.
He walked slowly to the bookshelf and stopped. He looked back at Liu Chengfeng, who was still pretending to eat the dishes, and slowly blew out a puff of smoke.
"Ride the wind."
Liu Chengfeng hurriedly put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked up at Young Master Liu.
"The child is here."
Mr. Liu gently took a puff of dry cigarette, raised his hand to pick up a blue and white porcelain vase from the bookshelf, held it in front of his eyes and began to look at it carefully.
"You must have heard all the messy words that my father had just now with Mr. Xia, your uncle, and Mr. Cai Jun outside the door, right?"
Hearing his father's question to him, Liu Chengfeng's body shook violently, and his face instantly became tense.
Looking at Young Master Liu who was admiring the poems on blue and white porcelain in his hand, Liu Chengfeng frowned slightly and was silent for a moment, then replied nervously and softly: "Speak to me, my child, my child has heard it."
Liu Mingzhi nodded calmly and sat down at the desk with the blue and white porcelain in his hand.
"Now that you've heard everything, do you have anything to say?"
Liu Chengfeng hesitated for a moment, then stood up and walked quickly towards Young Master Liu.
"Dad, do you really want to use troops against Tsarist Russia?"
Liu Mingzhi played with the porcelain in his hand carefully and asked without raising his head: "What, can't it?"
Liu Chengfeng shuddered again when he heard his father's direct rhetorical question.
"Okay, that's okay, but...but..."
"But what?"
"me……"
Liu Chengfeng looked at Young Master Liu at a loss, arguing for a long time, but in the end he didn't say anything.
However, one thing can be seen.
It's not that he doesn't know what to say, it's that he doesn't know how to say something.
Young Master Liu gently stroked the porcelain bottle with his fingertips and looked up at Liu Chengfeng.
“A dignified seven-foot-tall man, a manly man.
Just say what you have to say, no need to hesitate. "
Liu Chengfeng hesitated for a moment and looked at Young Master Liu with complicated eyes.
"Dad, can you not use troops against Tsarist Russia?"
After hearing Liu Chengfeng's words, Mr. Liu took a long puff of dry cigarette, stood up and walked towards the bookshelf.
"Give me a reason to be a father."
"Dad, the Queen of Tsarist Russia, Serena, is your daughter-in-law.
Furthermore, we, the Great Dragon Celestial Dynasty, and Tsarist Russia are now countries with diplomatic relations.
Tsarist Russia did not do anything offensive to us, the Great Dragon, and we, the Great Dragon, had no reason to send troops to attack Tsarist Russia.
In other words, our dragon master has no name.
Moreover, once there is a war between the two countries, the people of the two countries will inevitably be plunged into the flames of war.
Nowadays, my country, Dalong, has just been stable for a few years, and the people feel at ease.
I can't bear to see my people, Dalong, once again involved in the flames of war. "
Liu Mingzhi put the blue and white porcelain vase in his hand back to its original position and turned to look at Liu Chengfeng.
"Can't bear to see my dragon's people get involved in my war again?"
"Just tell me dad, that's right."
Young Master Liu raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded with a smile, walked to the desk and picked up a cup of tea.
"You are kind-hearted!"
"Dad, me."
Young Master Liu took a sip of tea and said loudly: "You have the qualifications to become an emperor because you can put the people of the world first.
For now, you know how to treat the people of this world better than my father, the current emperor.
Otherwise, as a father, I will draw up an edict immediately and send officials of the Ministry of Rites, big and small, to announce it to the world and pass that chair to you to sit on, right?
Chengfeng, what do you think? "
Liu Chengfeng's body trembled suddenly, he looked at Young Master Liu nervously, and shook his head hurriedly.
"Dad, I don't dare, I don't dare, I definitely don't have this idea."
Liu Mingzhi glanced flatly at Liu Chengfeng, who was looking nervous. Holding a tobacco bag in one hand and a teacup in the other, he slowly walked to the window and stopped.
"Don't you dare? It's quite appropriate for your father, right?"
Liu Chengfeng's already tense face suddenly became a little nervous again, and he looked helplessly at Young Master Liu who had stopped in front of the window.
I don't know since when, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Dad, I really don't dare, I really don't dare."
Mr. Liu gently took a puff of dry cigarette, leaned over and put his arms on the window sill, admiring the scenery in the courtyard with an indifferent expression.
"Is this your selfishness? Or your publicity?"
Liu Chengfeng grabbed his sleeve and wiped the sweat on his forehead, looking at Young Master Liu with eyes full of complicated meanings.
"Dad, I...I..."
Although Young Master Liu did not look back, he had already guessed Liu Chengfeng's expression from the tone of his eldest son's words.
"well."
Liu Mingzhi sighed softly and took two sips of tea from the teacup.
“Kid, just say what you want to say.
No matter how you answer, your father will not blame you. "
Liu Chengfeng took a few deep breaths to calm down his nervousness, then walked up and stopped behind Young Master Liu.
At first, he thought he had calmed down.
However, when he came behind Mr. Liu, dense beads of sweat broke out on his forehead again.
At this moment, Liu Chengfeng understood.
He couldn't stay calm at all around his father.
Liu Mingzhi turned slightly sideways and gestured towards Liu Chengfeng with the dry pipe in his hand.
"Have a pot and calm down."
Liu Chengfeng hesitated for a moment, nodded slightly, and took out the tobacco pouch from his waist.
"Hey, thank you dad."
Liu Chengfeng also skillfully lit a pot of tobacco and took several puffs in succession.
Liu Chengfeng was like this not because he was addicted, but because he urgently needed this thing to calm his nervous mind.
Otherwise, under the pressure of his father, he may not even be able to speak completely.
Seeing this, Liu Dashan frowned slightly and shook his head.
“This thing is not a good thing.
Since you have already started smoking, the father will not say anything more.
You brothers are now so old, and as a father, I can no longer control your brothers as much as I did when you were children.
However, as a father, I still say that this thing is never a good thing.
It can refresh your mind, but it can also harm your body.
As a father, I know that you brothers are on duty in the Ten Kings Palace, so you are under a lot of pressure on weekdays.
Therefore, as a father, I don’t ask you to stop touching it completely, but if you can smoke less, then try to smoke less. "
Liu Chengfeng raised his hand to fan the smoke in front of him and watched Young Master Liu nodding vigorously.
"Yeah, yeah, kid knows, kid knows.
In fact, the child rarely smokes dry cigarettes on weekdays. The last time he smoked was seven or eight days ago.
If it weren't for a few elders from the Ten Kings Palace who came to have a pot from time to time on weekdays, the child wouldn't even carry a pipe with him. "
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly, took a sip of tea, and then turned to look out the window again, watching the scenery in the courtyard calmly.
"As for the question of being a father, you should think about it slowly and then answer the question of being a father."
"Hey, thank you dad."
Young Master Liu responded loudly, grabbed his sleeves again and wiped the sweat on his forehead, frowning slightly and fell silent.
For a while.
The father and son, one was quietly watching the scenery in the courtyard, while the other was thinking about the answer in his heart.
It took about half a stick of incense.
Liu Chengfeng held the dry pipe that had burned out at some point, and looked nervously at Young Master Liu.
"father."
