Last time he was yelling about beating and killing, but this time he came to visit as if nothing had happened. I have to say that the bearded guest is really thick-skinned.
But no one in the Li family looked good on him. Li Jingmo, who was at home, just nodded lightly to the bearded guest and went out. Han Yuxi and Mrs. Li didn't even go downstairs or say hello. When Xiao He came to pour tea for the bearded guest, he bumped the tea cup heavily on the table to express his dissatisfaction.
Lan'er was holding a small wooden sword and hiding quietly at the entrance of the stairs. Her two big bright eyes stared at the bearded guest without blinking, as if she was ready to give the bearded man in the main hall a fatal blow at any time. But this little cutie didn't know that her every move had been noticed by the two people in the hall.
"Haha! Marquis Yong'an, even if a certain family did something wrong last time, you don't have to be so stingy, right? I heard that your family has good wine, why did you bring out these tea soups to embarrass me?"
The Qiu-bearded guest didn't really care about the reaction of the entire Li family. When he thought about it, Li Zexuan's family had already been very polite to him without using a knife to chop him. But now they were just a little indifferent to him, so that didn't matter. ? He looked at the tea cup on the table and said to Li Zexuan unceremoniously.
He came to Chang'an with the imperial court's fleet going south. Counting the days, he had stayed in Chang'an for a long time. Naturally, he knew the name of the Li family's Shenxianzui and Wenwen Township, and he was there too. I tasted it at Zuixianlou. Although it is a bit more expensive, the bearded customer still thinks it is worth it. Besides, how could he, a pirate leader, be short of money? Spending money to buy enjoyment is what people like them like to do most.
"It's not that I'm reluctant to give up, but the wine in my house is very strong. If something happens to you, senior, please talk about business first and then talk about anything else!"
Li Zexuan replied calmly.
He didn't fall out with the bearded guest now, it was entirely to save Li Jing's face. As for entertaining him with good wine and food, it can only be said that the beard guest was overthinking it.
Hearing the coldness in Li Zexuan's words, a little embarrassment appeared on the bearded guest's face, but it passed quickly. He was silent for a moment and said:
"Ahem, I don't like to mince words with others, so I'll tell you straight! I want your complete sea chart, whatever conditions you have, you can do it, I can only do it, so I won't say anything!"
Li Zexuan was shocked. Only then did he realize that the bearded man came to Yunshan deliberately to cause trouble two days ago. He went to such great lengths for his chart. How did this old guy know that he had the chart in his hand? ?
"This matter is absolutely impossible, senior, don't mention it again!"
Li Zexuan didn't think much and refused directly.
The bearded man suddenly said anxiously: "Why is this? There must always be room for negotiation in everything. Why are you so ruthless, Marquis Yong'an?"
"feelings?"
Li Zexuan sneered and said sarcastically: "Two days ago, someone wanted to destroy my whole family. Why should I be friendly with such a person? If I didn't kick him out, it was already for Duke Wei's sake!"
After hearing this, the bearded guest's face turned green and white, "The fight two days ago was originally a misunderstanding. A certain family has already explained it to Yong'an Marquis. Although there were many inappropriate words in a certain family's words at that time, there is absolutely no malice in a certain family's words." , Marquis Yongan, why are you so worried?"
"Humph! Some people are nothing to you, but to me, their lives are more important than mine! You will never understand this!"
Li Zexuan stared at the bearded guest and spoke word by word.
The bearded guest was immediately speechless, and the hall fell into silence.
After a while, Li Zexuan asked: "How did the senior know that I have a detailed sea map in my hand?"
The bearded guest suddenly thought of something at this moment, and his eyes couldn't help but light up. Just when he was about to explain, he saw the little maid who served him tea earlier came over and said to Li Zexuan: "Young Master, there is a man named Meng Youliang outside. People want to ask to see you!”
"Meng Youliang?"
Li Zexuan murmured to himself, then remembered that Meng Youliang was Meng Wenhao's father, but he didn't know what was going on with him coming here at this time?
"Invite him in!"
"Yes, Master!"
Xiao He responded and turned around to go out.
The bearded man who was about to speak earlier saw that Li Zexuan summoned Meng Youliang without hesitation. He rolled his eyes and fell silent again.
"Meng Youliang pays homage to the Marquis!"
A moment later, Meng Youliang walked in. When he saw the bearded guest sitting in the main hall, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes. Then he turned around, saluted Li Zexuan solemnly, and said.
"Uncle Meng, there is no need to be so polite. Now that you are an official, you don't need to be so polite!"
Li Zexuan gave him some help and smiled pleasantly.
"You are so polite, Lord Marquis! You have shown great kindness to my family, Wen Hao, and you deserve this great gift!"
Meng Youliang said sincerely.
Li Zexuan smiled and stopped insisting. He pointed to the sofa next to him and said, "What are you worthy of and not worthy of? Why do you care about those? Uncle Meng, sit down first!"
Meng Youliang paused, but did not sit down immediately. Instead, he turned around, faced the bearded guest, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed: "I learned that my benefactor was here today, and Meng Youliang came here to express my gratitude to my benefactor! Thank you again for your kindness. Your life-saving grace!"
"Get up, get up! How can a man kneel down whenever he wants? Back home, it's just a simple task for you. There's no need for you to worry about it for so long!"
The bearded man quickly stood up and helped Meng Youliang up.
Benefactor?
Li Zexuan next to him was confused when he saw this scene. How could these two completely unrelated people interact? What play is this being sung in?
"Uncle Meng, did you know each other before?"
Li Zexuan frowned and asked aloud.
Meng Youliang turned around and replied: "Master Hou, the fleet was attacked by pirates earlier. Meng was seriously injured and almost died at sea. Fortunately, his benefactor came to the rescue and Meng Youliang saved his life!"
Hearing what Meng Youliang said, Li Zexuan suddenly thought of something in his mind. After frowning for a moment, he looked at the bearded guest and said in surprise:
"Prince Hejian County told me before that when the army landed in Japan, there was a mysterious master who guarded him the whole time. I didn't expect that this person was you!"
"Haha! It's just a coincidence! It's not worth mentioning!"
Although the bearded guest was proud in his heart, he still had a look of indifference on his face. This old guy was really pretending to be cool!
Li Zexuan pinched his chin and fell into deep thought. He was now a little curious about how Meng Youliang knew that the beard guest was with him. The beard guest had been staying at Li Jing's house recently, and his whereabouts were naturally unknown to ordinary people. Meng Youliang, a man with no roots in Chang'an, How do you know?
