Chapter 344: Swing inside the wall and the outside of the wall
When Qin Lei left, the bustling people outside were inevitably watched and admired for a long time before leaving.
It was not until he drove out of Tongluo Street that Qin Lei turned around and sighed: "Let's take a bus next time."
Shi Gan nodded and said, "If you do this a few more times, you will definitely be targeted."
Qin Lei glanced at the corner of the street and smiled and said, "I've been targeted."
Shi Gan's heart was tight at first, but when he saw the prince's gaze was gentle and he knew he was not a stranger. Looking along with his eyes, he saw a fat man in a fur coat hiding on the corner of the street, looking at this side with a nerd head.
"You go and bring him here, I'll wait in the teahouse in front." Qin Lei ordered softly, and after that, he rode his horse to take the lead.
The black guards entered the teahouse. At this time, the meal was approaching, and there was not even a single customer in the teahouse. The shop owner greeted him with a look of panic. Chen Qi waved his hand and threw out a piece of silver. Weng said, "Bring your store for an hour." The boss took the silver worth more than one or two, and responded happily: "No problem, please tell me what the customer wants."
Chen Qi looked at the copper pot sitting on the stove, shook his head and said, "You don't need to interfere, just stay inside." Then he took the black guard to the second floor, picked the best couch, and started to arrange it.
When Li Sihai entered this inconspicuous teahouse, a teapot and two teacups were already arranged on the table in front of Qin Lei. There was no lid on the pot, and there was a white heat floating. As soon as the teacup was burned, it also had a faint white air.
Looking at the little fat man who was so happy to beat eggplant, Qin Lei's smile was as warm as the sun: "Sit down and drink tea." His tone was faintly intimate.
The fat little man sat on the mat with a dejected head, Qin Lei picked up the white porcelain teapot and slowly poured a cup of tea for him. He smiled and said, "This is Longjing before the rain, picked from the rain before and after the Grain Rain. The soup is green, and every chess and shots, and the taste is the most mellow." Last spring, Li Sihai lived in the Books and Xiangyuan, and was also taken by Qin Lei to drink tea. Finally, he regarded tea as his life. When Qin Lei came back from the south, he once brought him some rare tea leaves from Nanchu, which made him feel inexplicably happy.
He had also heard of Longjing before the rain, but it was regarded as a tribute tea by the Southern Chu royal family. Few of them flowed into the market, so they were naturally extremely precious. If it were in the past, he would have to drink the tea soup into white water before he could stop. But today he was holding the tea cup, but he could not be interested at all. Looking at the projection of the cup with the heat, he felt a little pity and self-harm.
Seeing that he was tangled, Qin Lei did not urge him, poured himself a cup of tea, twisted the tea cup as thin as a cicada wing with his fingers, and slowly savored it.
After a while, the heat dissipated, and the fat reflection in the teacup seemed very...'Silly', a little annoyed by this word, Li Sihai raised his head and whispered slightly cool tea, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, inhale and said affectionately: "Uncle..."
"Puff..." Qin Lei sprayed a mist from his mouth... Fortunately, he didn't face the other person. He picked up the cloth from the table and wiped his mouth, coughed softly, "What are you calling me?"
Seeing Qin Lei reacting so much, Li Sihai couldn't help but feel shivered and whispered: "Uncle..."
Qin Lei looked at the sun outside the window, although it was already high, still in the east. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Brother, why... love me so much?" He said, touching his face and said narcissisticly: "It's still a very young face..."
Li Sihai's mouth twitched a few times, his head drooped and muttered vaguely: "Are you... not my father-in-law's sworn brother? Of course I have to shout with Yue'er."
Qin Lei suddenly said, "How can you be so embarrassed, my eldest nephew." As he said that, he groped on his body, but found that his whole body was empty, so he had to give up and said, "Today is too hasty, I'll give you a gift next time."
Li Sihai smiled bitterly and said, "Why can't you understand people's mood?"
Qin Lei laughed and put a new cup on him, and said, "Tell me, put your posture so low, what do you want to ask me for? With our relationship, I will definitely do it except for what I can't do."
Li Sihai thought to himself: 'Isn't this nonsense?' But he also knew that Qin Lei was a mean person, but he couldn't be serious about him. He scratched his head and begged, "If Xiaoyue'er asked you to go to our house to break the engagement, you must not agree."
Qin Lei narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you sorry for my niece?" Boshang's reason for his swornship with him was to let him take care of Boshang's Saiyue with justification. Although it was just an excuse, the relative relationship was settled and it was impossible to be careless.
When Li Sihai heard him say this, he immediately screamed and cried out with an innocent look on his face: "Dare I bullying her? Is it okay for her to bully me?" As he rolled up his sleeves and showed Qin Lei the fresh bruises on his arm, and said sadly and happily: "Did you see? It's less than half an hour after printing it, and it's still hot and hot."
秦雷刚先说:‘这种娘们就得摁着一天揍八回.’却又意识到那是自己的干侄女,只好撇嘴笑道:“打是亲,骂是爱,亲不过来用脚踹嘛.”
Li Sihai just wanted to prove that he was one of the vulnerable groups, but he had no intention of complaining. He put down his sleeves, covered the shocking whip marks, and told Qin Lei what happened today. Finally, he asked in a low voice: "Do you treat me as a brother..."
"Don't you call me uncle?" Qin Lei smiled and said, "Your seniority can be adjusted as needed." Seeing Li Sihai looking at him with a resentful look, he had to raise his hand and surrender, "I will try my best to persuade you about this matter. Isn't Saiyue only sixteen this year? It's nothing to delay for a while." At this critical moment when it's better to have less things than to have less things, even if Bo Shang Saiyue forced Qin Lei with a sword, he wouldn't provoke the old thing Li Hun was covered in thorns.
Li Sihai then said happily: "Uncle, you are so good."
Qin Lei waved his hand and did not continue to amuse him. His expression gradually became serious: "But this matter can only be delayed for a while. You can still be a bachelor when you are twenty or thirty, but my niece cannot."
Li Sihai, who had just become so sensible, suddenly became depressed again, lowered his head and whispered: "Is there no possibility of turning around?"
Qin Lei did not answer, but just looked at him with a sorry look.
Li Sihai moved his legs to the front, held his knees with his hands, and put his head on his knees. His eyes wandered for a while before he said without thinking: "I don't know what to do... It's slim..."
Qin Lei pursed his lips tightly, twisted the teacup with a little irritation, raised his head and poured it on, but did not taste any fragrance. After pondering for a while, he gently put down the teacup and said softly: "A love thing is like drinking tea. You need to have the environment and mood suitable to taste the mellow fragrance." He sighed and said: "The environment and mood are not suitable now, so don't savor the three flavors carefully."
Li Sihai said deeply: "Yes... the more you taste, the more you suffer." After saying that, he closed his eyes and said nothing, and Qin Lei also accompanied him in a daze.
At some point, Li Sihai finally got up and left the table, patted his butt, pretending to be calm, "I'm back, Yue'er's affairs...you can do it." Xiao Suo, who couldn't hide it, said, "You are his uncle, always for her..." After that, he staggered downstairs and left.
Looking at his lonely back, Qin Lei's gaze became complicated. When the back disappeared, he retracted his gaze, facing his right hand, and his three fingers pinched the delicate teacup without moving, his eyes fixed on the teacup without moving, and his breathing slowed down a lot.
Only his uncertain eyes can reveal that his heart is not as calm as he looks. No one knows what he is thinking, because he hasn't revealed his true thoughts to anyone for a long time. Naturally, no one knows whether his heart is a gushing volcano, an unshaved iceberg, or a two-way sky of ice and fire...
With a slight sound of "bang", the teacup in his hand shattered pieces and the porcelain pieces fell into the palm of his palm. However, he did not turn his hand off, but instead clenched his fists gently. Listening to the cicada-like porcelain pieces squeezed and broken each other in his hands, making a crisp crackling sound, Qin Lei's mouth slightly pulled upwards, and he actually smiled inexplicably.
He raised his hand casually and shook off the fragments in his hand. Shi Gan hurried up and bandaged the prince's palm that was pierced by porcelain pieces. He whispered: "If the calluses on your hand were not thick, they would have been severely injured." Many pieces of porcelain were pierced on the calluses on Qin Lei's palm, and some were pierced in the cracks of his fingers and palm lines, which naturally cut the skin and pierced the blood.
Looking at Shi Gan who was working hard for him seriously, Qin Lei smiled and said, "I have confirmed two things and I am very happy."
Shi Gan silently cleaned the tiny porcelain pieces, then used vinegar to disinfect them, applied the wound medicine, and bandaged them carefully, then asked softly: "What two things?"
Qin Lei laughed and said, "I thought you didn't ask."
Shi Gan lowered his head and said, "I am afraid of being distracted."
Qin Lei moved his right hand wrapped in gauze and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, nothing will affect you." After that, he got up and walked downstairs.
"Prince, what are the two things?" Shi Gan asked in a low voice.
"If you want to say something, you don't ask when you don't want to say something, and if you don't want to say something, you have to ask." Qin Lei laughed and said, "Let's go, and I'll tell you when I feel better one day." He didn't want to say something, Shi Gan had no choice but to follow him downstairs and leave this small teahouse.
The black-clad guard led the snow to a storm, and Shi Gan asked softly: "Prince, are we going back?"
Qin Lei shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Go to Green Willow Lane."
Shi Gan agreed, but couldn't help but think in his heart: 'It seems that when the prince was feeling uncomfortable, he thought of her first...'
Green Willow Lane is located near Bao'en Temple in Dongcheng, in the opposite direction to Qinghe Park. Qin Lei and his party walked slowly for half an hour before they arrived. It was already afternoon, but it was early after the meal.
When I arrived at the ground, I saw that there were courtyard walls several meters high on both sides of the alley, but there was only a small door that allowed two people to enter and exit on the opposite courtyard walls. It seemed that it was the back wall of two wealthy families.
Shi Gan waved his hand, and the black guards scattered and hidden, following the protection in the dark. There was only a small team of personal guards behind Qin Lei, and they were not far away from each other.
Qin Lei and Shi Gan rode their horses into the alley. The horse's hooves hit the stone road, making a dripping sound, making a silence of the ancient alley. It was just in the middle of winter, and there were fewer moss marks and green on the steps, which reduced a lot of poetry to this Zen-like alley.
Fortunately, Qin Lei was not here to enjoy the scenery. When the two of them walked to the left door, Qin Lei stretched out his hand, and Shi Gan handed a pigeon cage to him.
After taking the exquisite golden pigeon cage, Qin Lei smiled and said, "What a good girl who loves learning." As he said that, he gently bounced the pin on the cage, and the cage door opened in response. The pure white pigeon inside poked out his little head and observed it all over, and then flew into the sky under the threat of Qin Lei's grinning.
The carrier pigeon just hovered in the air for a moment, then flew into the yard on the left lightly, and could no longer see any trace.
Qin Lei, who had been watching with his head raised, still looked at the blue sky and murmured: "It's so good..." I don't know if it's because the weather is so good or if it's so good to fly.
Shi Gan retreated quietly, leaving the space for the prince and the one who was about to come out.
But he couldn't help but look back. He felt that the prince's temperament today seemed to be moving closer to the poet. Not only was his expression very inexplicable, but his words were also inexplicable.
Qin Lei also jumped off his horse, leaned against the wall on the right, and quietly waited for Sesame to open the door.
People say that waiting is long, even if it is waiting for his beloved girl. But Qin Lei doesn't look like this, but he enjoys this rare moment of silence. He wraps his hands in front of his chest and looks at the Spring Festival couplets on the door with serious eyes. The upper and lower couplets are:
‘The world returns to its vitality for a hundred years, and unifies the peace between mountains and rivers.’
Let’s look at the horizontal signs again, which are four vigorous characters: “The country is prosperous and the people are safe”.
Qin Lei repeatedly muttered two couplets: "A hundred years... return vitality, unify the river... peace, peace in the country, peace in the country..." He knew that this was people's good expectations and good wishes for the future. No matter the high and low people in the world, they really longed for the unification of the world, and the wars stopped, so that they would have a good life for two days.
But how easy is it? Looking at the Three Kingdoms today, after a hundred years of conquests, they all showed unconcealed fatigue. What Qin Lei was most worried about was that those grassland nations that had been strongly suppressed by Qin and Chu for hundreds of years would make a comeback while the Three Kingdoms were exhausted and then harm the Central Plains.
It is easier to say about the Xiguerre grassland in Qin. After all, with the two tribes living together, many grassland ethnic groups have already taken root and sprouted in the mainland and made achievements, so it is not easy to become centrifugal. For example, the Boshang family and the Che family are both grassland families a hundred or two hundred years ago.
However, Qi's high pressure on the grassland people is a basic national policy for a hundred years, and the hatred between the two sides is endless... I am afraid that only by completely eliminating one side can it be considered to be a conclusion. Although the nomads of the Dongguorel grassland are now killed and silent, with the resilience and tenacity of the grassland wolf, as long as Qi relaxes for more than ten years, they will regain their vitality.
Therefore, we must end the fatigue caused by this exhaustion in as short as possible - there is no other way except unification. No matter whether it is Qi, Chu and Qin, any country can do it well.
But which country is not facing many difficulties? Just talking about the Qin State, which once had the most hope of unification, was trapped in the quagmire of the three heroes' struggle for power, and was always shrouded in the shadow of the civil war. I don't know when I can extricate myself and be liberated.
It was like Qin Lei and his team's twenty-mile armed training. When the soldiers were about to reach their limit, countless negative states such as fatigue, pain, and helplessness were added to them. If they couldn't stand it, they would fall to the ground and they wouldn't be able to get up.
Only by gritting your teeth and rushing through it can you break through the limit, run again, leave all your opponents behind, and win the final victory.
I just don’t know when the eagle, Daqin, will escape from the shackles, soar into the sky, destroy this troubled world, and rebuild a good world on my own.
Retracting the sigh that was about to burst into tears, Qin Lei sighed quietly, and couldn't help but laugh at himself again. In the past, he once said boldly, "Ten years of power, ten years of unification." Now it seems so naive. The world is not his own game, but the world is a battlefield for a group of people. How can he be allowed to be regarded as a joke?
On this battlefield in the world, the fantasy will die without a place to bury, and only the most powerful will laugh to the end...
A sound of light footsteps from far to near interrupted his random thoughts. Qin Lei tidied up his clothes, grinned, and smiled with eight teeth, but felt that his smile was a bit fake and couldn't help but burst into laughter. Thinking about the girl's infatuation, his smile became real and natural.
The door has started to ring, and it seems that there is a lock inside, and more than one handful...
