Li Chenan's mind turned around, and a look of joy suddenly appeared on his face.
He also leaned over and said to Yang Sixian sincerely: "To be honest with Mr. Yang, I have just arrived at Boiling Yu Xiaozhu, and I just got this mission just now."
"You don't know, I was so worried when I got this assignment!"
"This is obviously the great trust that the chief helmsman has in me, Li Chenan! Of course I have to fulfill my duty to complete this task and submit the most perfect answer to the chief helmsman!"
Li Chenan sighed deeply, "But the money allocated by the general helmsman has not arrived yet, and I... I'm afraid you also know that I was once a little scholar, and I didn't understand the people in the world at all, let alone Say we know each other."
"So I'm really worried!"
"I'm afraid that the transfer order from the Ministry of Civil Affairs has come too early, and I don't have anyone in my hands, so Liu Zui will run away!"
"This is a huge sin! Even if I, Li Chenan, kill myself, I still can't live up to the trust from above!"
"Mr. Yang, this is a timely help! I believe that the people gathered by Mr. Yang must be masters. If you want to kill a small civil servant, you can easily catch him."
"This is a blessing that I entrusted to you, Mr. Yang. It is all your credit... After the mission is completed, when I return to life, I should write all of this down!"
Yang Sixian laughed and pointed at Li Chenan, "Sensible! You are indeed sensible!"
"But..." He changed the topic again, "I'm already old, so I don't need this kind of credit when I get old."
"You are still young, and you still have a long way to go in the future. You need this credit even more!"
"So there is no need for you to mention me a word about this matter in the restoration document!"
"This is not because I am being humble and polite to you, but I hope that you can grow up as soon as possible, go to Kyoto as soon as possible, and enter the core circle of the Fish and Dragon Society as soon as possible!"
Yang Sixian was extremely sincere when he said these words. If someone who didn't know heard it, they would definitely think that this was the support of the older generation to the newcomers, but Li Chenan instantly understood the meaning of his words——
He didn't want to have anything to do with killing Liu Zuo!
A bold guess is that Yang Sixian must have known that Liu Zuo's transfer to Shuzhou was the plan of Zhongli Mansion.
He didn't want to offend the Zhongli Mansion, so he would give up the credit, put the pot on his back, and keep Yang Sixian out of the matter.
"This... boy, I deserve it!"
Yang Sixian waved his hand, "Although I have been older than you for many years, I felt quite friendly to you even before I met you. Now that I meet you, I feel even more like you are the same as before!"
"Now I understand that such a noble scholar as Mr. Hua is willing to call you a brother..."
He turned sideways and knocked on the table, "This is not just Mr. Li's poems and articles! This is Mr. Li's experienced way of conducting himself in the world!"
"Old Yang, I won't give you the prize. This kid doesn't know how to behave in the world. He just does what he wants!"
Yang Sixian laughed heartily, "What a happy ending! What is natural is untainted, and what happens according to one's heart is flawless!"
"Brother, this is the highest state of human conduct. How many people in the world can understand this truth?"
"Something that is too craftsmanship,"
He picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "Deliberate carving will never produce a fine product, but it is the raw jade that is priceless!"
"This man, that's what he is. For many things, he often doesn't get what he wants, but if he goes by his will, he can go straight to the top!"
"Have a good time at the Fish and Dragon Club. Although I can't tell fortunes, I still believe that Mr. Li will meet Prime Minister Ji one day!"
The two complimented each other. Wu Xichen was drinking and listening. He would glance at Li Chenan from time to time and feel a little weird in his heart.
This guy is really a genius.
He was actually able to have a good conversation with the old man even though he was talking about those useless things.
He would definitely not kill Liu Zuo, but what method would he use to deceive the old man?
The assassins were the old man's people.
The place of assassination was also chosen by the old man.
Even the time of the assassination was difficult to change, because Liu Zuo set off for Shuzhou and boarded the ship at Linfengdu. This time was also fixed.
Could he let me take action to kill all the killers brought by the old man?
This is the most inferior method.
Although Liu Zuo's life could be saved, the task that fell on him was not completed.
This trip to Shuzhou is a long way, so the Fish and Dragon Society will definitely be somewhere else, and someone else will kill Liu Zuo.
The best way is of course to make the old man think that Liu Zuo was really killed, so that Liu Zuo could arrive in Shuzhou quietly.
This matter... is very difficult!
Let's see how this kid will respond.
Ye Po brought Huapingchun from the Banyan Tree Bistro, and Wen Huan brought the best table of noodles from Shiheju.
Li Chenan invited everyone to sit down, and Yang Sixian sat at the top.
He was not interested in the exquisite dishes on this table, because these things could not be compared with the delicacies at Juxian Pavilion in Kyoto.
His interest lies in the jar of wine.
When Li Chenan opened the mud seal and the aroma of wine wafted out, Yang Sixian's old eyes suddenly lit up.
He stretched out his hand to pick up the wine jar, leaned to the mouth of the jar and took a deep sniff, "Good wine!"
"I heard in Kyoto that the Huapingchun brewed by Mr. Li is far superior to Ruilu. I was a little skeptical at first, but now I know that it is really well-deserved!"
"Change the bowl and pour the wine!"
Li Chenan filled a bowl of wine for him.
Yang Sixian held the wine bowl and took a big sip. As the strong aroma of wine lingered in his mouth, and as the sip of wine entered his throat and burned all the way, his expression became more and more excited.
“Good wine!”
“The best wine in the world!”
He looked at Li Chen'an and said, "I have traveled all over the country and visited many places in my life. Whether it is Ruilu in Ningguo, Xiangquan in Yueguo, or Qiongsu in Wuguo, I can't compare to your beautiful spring. Comparable!"
He picked up the wine bowl and took a sip again. This time he tasted it for a long time and swallowed it slowly after ten breaths. There was an extremely comfortable look on his face.
"Master Li, I am amazed!"
"After this mission is completed, I also ask Mr. Li to bring two jars of Huapingchun to me... It's not that I want to drink this wine, but I'm just thinking about it. I should invite Prime Minister Ji to taste such a good wine."
Having said this, he looked at Li Chenan meaningfully, "Although Prime Minister Ji greatly appreciates Mr. Li's three poems, what Prime Minister Ji appreciates more is a pragmatic person!"
Li Chen'an immediately held up his hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Yang, for your kindness!"
"To be honest with Mr. Yang, the output of this Hua Pingchun is extremely limited. I will tell the tavern not to sell this Hua Pingchun these days. I have to keep it no matter what."
"Swords are given to heroes, red powder is given to beauties, this wine... of course must be given to those who can truly appreciate it!"
Yang Sixian stroked his long beard and burst into laughter. After a moment, the conversation suddenly changed:
"I heard that Liu Zuo is Hua Manting's favorite disciple."
"I also heard that Liu Zuo has a close relationship with you."
He stopped smiling, and his eyes fell on Li Chenan's face. After a moment, he looked away and picked up the wine bowl, and asked lightly:
"If Liu Zui dies, you will be safe at the Yulonghui."
"So Mr. Li thinks he is dead... or not?"
