The breeze blew the thin willow branches, and the sun shone on the Weishui River.

Li Xiao threw the remaining watermelon peel in his hand into the Wei River. The melon peel was swirling on the water surface and caused seven or eight ripples. Two wild ducks flew up from the grass by the river.

Changsun Wuji looked at the fish that was scared away, smiled and put away the fishing rod, got up and walked towards Li Xiao.

Zhao Chiman looked at Changsun Wuji and Han Yuan in surprise, and was stunned.

Li Xiao followed his eyes and found two old men in men wearing straw hats and carrying bamboo poles. He thought that the other party disturbed them fishing because of the melon peel he threw.

He smiled and bowed to the two of them.

"I haven't seen two father-in-law fishing here just now. I've been disturbing you so much. It's better to eat a melon, as it's your fault."

Changsun Wuji took off his hat and looked at Li Xiao.

"Why is Li Sanlang so forgetful that I can't even recognize me?"

Li Xiao met Changsun Wuji and Han Yuan in the Political Affairs Hall, but it was just a one-time relationship, especially when they were covered in purple and gold that day, but now they were wearing coarse linen clothes and hats. They really didn't think of it for a while.

"We have seen it in the Political Affairs Hall before." After saying that, he turned around and was stunned, "Dalang, can you still be safe in the near future?"

Zhao Chiman's face suddenly turned red and his eyes also turned red. I don't know if it was excitement or anger. He stared at the two of them, but he was speechless for a long time.

"Are you?" Li Xiao had guessed a few points at this time, but he still asked pretending not to know each other. He didn't know why the other party was here, and why they came to talk to him.

"I, Changsun Wuji, this is Han Yuan and Han Boyu. Why, do you remember?" Changsun Wuji was very polite. Li Xiao was so polite that he had encountered a fake guy.

After all, in his impression, Changsun Wuji was not a good person and a powerful minister. The most powerful minister of the dynasty was no longer in charge of the government, but he was still the leader of the Guanlong nobles.

Not only does it cover the sky with one hand, but it is easy to turn the clouds and rain.

"I'm sorry that the officials are so rude. I didn't recognize the two husbands just now, so I'm rude." Li Xiao bowed.

Changsun Wuji waved his hand, "Nothing happened," he pointed to the watermelon behind Li Xiao, "Didn't you say you should invite us to eat melons? Come and have a watermelon in the Corn Salt Garden. I also like to eat it."

Zhao Chiman silently turned around to get the watermelon. He brought it with the watermelon. He wanted to cut the watermelon with a knife, but Changsun Wuji said, "Just give it to me directly."

Although Changsun Wuji was old, his hands were very strong. He held a watermelon worth about ten pounds and split the melon in half with a flash of his finger. He handed half to Han Yuan, and started to bite it without hesitation.

Li Xiao thought to himself, it turns out that the prime minister of the dynasty was exactly the same as ordinary people when he ate watermelons.

"Well, this melon is really sweet enough, and it's even fresher than what you bought in Chang'an. Sanlang, you can grow such sweet watermelons in the barren land of Shayuan and produce huge peppers and cucumbers. I am very impressed by it. From the pre-Qin Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, Shayuan has always been able to shepherd cattle and raise horses, and no one has ever planted crops."

Li Xiao smiled, "Shayuan is not all in a barren land," he said.

"I know what you did in Shayuan, leveling sand dunes, digging ditches and storing the water of the Wei River and Nanluo Water to wash the ground. It is said that I have also invented a new type of plow called Quyuan Plow. With just one ox, it can be deeper than the land where two oxes plowed in the past, and it is effortless. The plow is light, fast, efficient, and extremely powerful."

Li Xiao said humbly, "The Quyuan Plow is also the common achievement of the officials and craftsmen in the corn prison. It only puts forward requirements according to the needs of deep cultivation of salt land, and then everyone works together to make a new plow."

Changsun Wuji shook his head, "It's your credit, so there is no need to deliberately conceal it. Although the craftsmen have some credit, they are just small credits. It is you who really invented the Quyuan Plow, and it is you who can let the saline-alkali land grow fruits and vegetables, and it is you who even planted corn in saline-alkali land. Since the pre-Qin period, you have been the first person to grow grain in the Shayuan Garden, and this is the first person."

After eating the watermelon, Changsun Wuji wiped his face with his sleeve and threw the skin into the Wei River.

"Sanlang, I want to thank you for helping Zhao Da. I am sorry for him and let him suffer this humiliation. You will not be grudged and will kindly help Zhao Dahe's family. I will remember it in my heart."

"It's nothing. Brother Zhao and I don't know each other without fighting each other. I respect Brother Zhao as a hero. We also have similar meanings, so we have become Jinlan. We are brothers now, and my second brother's family is naturally my family."

Changsun Wuji sighed, "All of them are Guanlong children, Sanlang, your family has lived in Lantian for generations, and you are also my Guanlong children."

The words of Guanlong children made Li Xiao a little stunned.

He had never thought about this, but now he thought about it, it was indeed true. Although Lanxi is located in the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains, it is indeed affiliated with Guanzhong. His Li family has lived in Guanzhong for generations, so naturally he is a disciple of Guanlong. Even if he is not as good as Changsun Wuji and others, he is a member of the Guanlong noble group, but he is indeed a disciple of Guanzhong.

"Zhao Da was once the best among my generation in Guanlong, but now he is in such a situation. It's a pity. Sanlang, you are also a child of Guanlong. Do you have any good ideas to teach me?"

Li Xiao was surprised, what did you teach you? You are Changsun Wuji. Even the emperor is afraid of you.

Changsun Wuji looked at Li Xiao quietly, waiting for his answer.

Han Yuan on the side looked at Changsun Wuji in confusion, not understanding why Changsun Wuji had to say so much to a lucky man in the field today.

"Why don't Changsun Prime Minister retreat bravely? Sometimes, take a step back and the sky will be wide open."

"If you don't want to leave the power, you will be in the back of Guanlong and you can't retreat." Changsun Wuji shook his head slowly. He did not want to be Yang Jian's second. He just wanted to retain the glory of the Guanlong nobles, and what he wanted was to maintain the stability of the Tang Empire.

The Tang Dynasty was established by the Guanlong nobles. He firmly believed that if the emperor weakened the Guanlong nobles, he would be destroying his own martial arts and breaking his backbone.

"I am old and shouldn't have stayed in the center forever, but I can't rest assured. Back then, our fathers and brothers in Guanlong made merits and won glory with generations of blood and sweat. We have been born and died for this country, and we should naturally share wealth and honor with the country. This is our merit and what we deserve now. My Changsun Wuji is just a leader of the countless Guanlong family in this generation. I have the qualifications and responsibilities to keep this honor for everyone."

Changsun Wuji said a lot in one breath, and he didn't even know why he said these words to Li Xiao.

"You may not understand this." Changsun Wuji smiled bitterly and shook his head.
