Li Xiu didn't expect that County Magistrate Wang was about to leave, but suddenly turned around and said a few words. He was also a little surprised at this, but at last nodded and said, "Mr. Wang, please speak if you have something to do!"

At this time, the magistrate Wang hesitated for a moment and finally said, "Li Jijiu, I heard that you are a person who has no intention of fame and fortune. Since that is the case, it is best not to get too close to His Highness of the King of Qin. Now the prince is fighting with the King of Qin, and he may be involved if he is not careful. It is not easy to get out of here!"

When Li Xiu heard this, he couldn't help but look at County Magistrate Wang in surprise. No wonder he stood up and said goodbye as soon as Li Shimin came in just now. Now he must not want to be involved with Li Shimin. You must know that he is just a small county magistrate, and a little storm in the court may leave him dead.

"Thank you for your reminder from County Magistrate Wang!" Li Xiu solemnly bowed to County Magistrate Wang at this time. It was very rare for someone to say this to him when they first met.

"Li Jijiu is polite. Wang has just admired Li Jijiu for a long time. Today, he saw that he was indeed a rare young hero. I hope Li Jijiu will not get involved in the right and wrong in the court!" County Magistrate Wang said the truth at this time. Although he was just a small county magistrate, he was quite clear about the situation in the court. In addition, he admired Li Xiu very much and did not want such an excellent young man to be ruined by the party struggles.

After saying that, the magistrate Wang bowed to Li Xiu again, then turned around and disappeared into the wind and snow in the blink of an eye. Li Xiu kept politely until the other party disappeared, and then stood up and sighed softly. Even the magistrate Wang felt the fierce battle in the court. From this, it can be seen that the battle between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin became fierce.

At that moment, Li Xiu turned around and returned home. Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin were already sitting in the hall. The mat that had just been removed had been removed. Yue Chan was directing several maids to serve the dishes again, just waiting for Li Xiu to enter the table.

"His Royal Highness Qin has worked hard all the way. I wonder what this general is called?" Li Xiu walked to the table with a smile, then looked at the bearded general sitting next to Li Shimin and said, "The people who can be brought by Li Shimin must be not ordinary people, at least they are at Qin Qiong's level. Li Xiu doesn't want to miss such a person.

"Haha~, Li Jijiu is kind. Her surname is Cheng's name, Yaojin, and later changed his name to Zhijie. However, I still like the original name. If Li Jijiu wants to, he will call me Lao Cheng!" Cheng Yaojin said carelessly, but since he came in, he has been observing Li Xiu, and he has not seen the others for the time being. However, judging from Li Xiu's attitude towards the King of Qin, he seems to not care about Li Shimin's identity at all, but regard him as an ordinary friend. This alone is not something that ordinary people can do.

"Cheng Yaojin!" Li Xiu was shocked again with this familiar name, and then looked up and down. If the most impressive character in the Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties was probably the one who would be Cheng Yaojin. Even the whole Romance was almost connected by the character Cheng Yaojin. Cheng Yaojin's three axes are well known. Li Xiu had long wanted to see him, but unfortunately he heard that he had been guarding, but he didn't expect to see him in this situation.

"It turned out to be General Cheng. I have heard of General's name for a long time. Today, I saw it very brave!" Li Xiu woke up after a while and immediately praised Cheng Yaojin.

"Haha~, Li Jijiu is so polite. With Uncle Bao here, I can't afford to say bravery!" Cheng Yaojin said with great joy when he heard Li Xiu's praise. Li Xiu was not so enthusiastic when he saw the King of Qin just now, which also made him feel flattered.

While talking, Yuechan had already served the dishes. Li Xiu saw that the table was just ordinary wine, and then stood up again and said, "Your Highness and General Cheng wait a moment, I'll go get the good wine!"

It is rare to meet Cheng Yaojin, a childhood idol. Li Xiu naturally cannot neglect it. What's more, it's time to drink strong wine now. Unfortunately, County Magistrate Wang was like Li Xiu, who didn't like drinking.

After a while, Li Xiu took out the spirits he had treasured from the warehouse. There were only a few jars of this kind of wine in total, and they were all very small jars. Now there are only three jars left. I guess I won’t be able to wait until I’ll have to drink them all next year.

When Li Shimin saw the wine jar that Li Xiu took out, his eyes lit up, and then blamed Li Xiu again: "Okay, it turns out that you still have this kind of good wine hidden. You were only willing to take it out once when I came here. After that, you asked you how many times you asked for it, you wouldn't take it out again. I didn't expect that today I would be able to drink such a good wine with Zhijie!"

"Haha, there is not much of this kind of wine, and the longer it is stored, the more mellow it becomes. Today, His Highness came from afar and was with General Cheng again. It was also snowing outside, otherwise I wouldn't be willing to take it out." Li Xiu said the truth. Not to mention Li Shimin, even Ma Ye asked him for it, he was a little reluctant to let it go. It was not that he was stingy, but that he wanted to store a few jars of wine before he married Princess Pingyang.

"Stingy! You don't drink it yourself, why do you save such good wine?" Li Shimin said as he reached out to snatch the wine jar from Li Xiu's hand, slapped the mud seal on it and opened it. As a result, a seductive smell of wine immediately poured out, causing Cheng Yaojin on the opposite side to sniff. He was also a good wine person. He asked himself that he had almost drunk all the fine wine in the world, but this was the first time he smelled such fragrant wine.

At that moment, Li Shimin first filled himself up, and then poured wine for Cheng Yaojin himself. Then the two raised their glasses almost at the same time and drank them all in one go. It was okay for Li Shimin. After all, he had drunk this kind of wine before, but what surprised Li Xiu was that it was the first time Cheng Yaojin drank such a strong wine, but he did not make a fool of himself. Instead, he shouted: "Good wine, this is the wine that people drink!"

"General Cheng has a good alcohol tolerance. He can even drink such strong wine!" Seeing Cheng Yaojin's appearance, Li Xiu couldn't help but say in admiration.

"Haha, what's this? The alcohol in the army is so strong...uh..." Cheng Yaojin suddenly said in a smug manner, and in front of Li Shimin, he hurriedly covered his mouth. It was a serious crime to steal alcohol in the army!

"Hmph, the alcohol is so strong, you can't even get down!" Li Shimin couldn't help but say a little annoyed when he heard this. Alcohol was originally used to clean the wounds, but some soldiers in the army found that alcohol could be drunk as alcohol, and it was more satisfying than ordinary alcohol. As a result, some people stole alcohol, and some even injured themselves in order to get alcohol. This also made Li Shimin very angry. He had rectified military discipline several times for this. Unexpectedly, his beloved general Cheng Yaojin also stole alcohol to drink.

"Hehe, how do you know that alcohol is strong?" Cheng Yaojin smiled shamelessly at this time and grabbed a loophole in Li Shimin's words. As a result, Li Shimin's old face turned red. In fact, he was also very greedy in the army. He had drunk it secretly once, but he thought he would not know about it, but he didn't expect that he would also miss it.

"Haha, you can drink alcohol. I really admire you, but you can't drink too much, otherwise you will vomit blood!" Li Xiu couldn't help laughing when he heard this. He had never seen anyone else drink alcohol in his previous life, but he had seen someone drinking Qinghe Daqu in the bar at a temperature of more than 70 degrees, and he was blowing on the bottle. As a result, he vomited blood in the end and rescued him in the hospital for a long time before he could save his life.

"That's right, the alcohol in the army is used to save lives, and the taste is too strong. Most people can't stand it if they drink a small cup. Moreover, the alcohol is not only spicy but also spicy, which is far less fragrant than the wines from Li Jijiu!" Cheng Yaojin admitted openly at this time. Anyway, even Li Shimin had drunk alcohol secretly, which was a crooked beam on the upper beam.

Speaking of alcohol in the army, Li Xiu was also quite concerned about this matter, because since the distiller was taken away by Ma Ye, the court set up an alcohol workshop. Outsiders usually don’t know the situation inside, and Li Xiu didn’t know how much alcohol was promoted in the army. He just took this opportunity to inquire with Li Shimin.

Li Shimin also knew that alcohol was from Li Xiu's hands, so he did not hide it. He told him about alcohol. According to him, alcohol is mainly given to the border troops in the north. Although the Tang Dynasty and the Turks are still calm now, some small conflicts are still there, and the border troops have frequent casualties. With this alcohol, many soldiers can save lives.

In addition, due to the limitation of grain production, the alcohol production has not increased, and the court is reluctant to spend too much food on it, so the alcohol in the army has always been in short supply. This is why he strictly investigated the situation of stealing alcohol in the army. Of course, he couldn't even control his own mouth, let alone others. It is estimated that this situation will always exist in the army.

Li Xiu couldn't help but feel a little regretful when he heard this. After all, it was a food problem, which made him miss the bearded guest even more. He didn't know when they would be able to come back. If they could bring back high-yield crops such as sweet potatoes and potatoes as soon as possible, he wouldn't have to hide some distilled liquor as a treasure, and no one would care about how much he wanted to make it.

Li Xiu and Li Shimin were having a chat while eating, and the topic slowly moved from the army to Chang'an. Although Li Shimin was in the north, he knew everything about Chang'an. He even knew the conflict between Li Xiu and Chai Shao. He was also very interested in Li Xiu's way of destroying Dong'an Casino. Unfortunately, no matter how he indirectly attacked him, Li Xiu pretended to be stupid and didn't even admit that he did it. Anyway, Li Shimin had no evidence, which made him very helpless.

After three rounds of drinking, Li Shimin also drank a little drunk. At this time, he suddenly said, "Li Xiu, you should have heard of the matter in the court. What do you think of this matter?" (To be continued.)
