"Hey, my surname is Xu, are you wrong? The wind is so strong tonight, you want to freeze to death, but I didn't agree to accompany you..."

It was already dark. In a courtyard near the front door, Li Lanfang was already trembling with coldness. She looked at Xu Changqing, who was drinking mutton with a small wine in a yard, and she felt the urge to vomit blood.

Who would have thought that she was ready to bleed heavily and invited Xu Changqing tonight to have a good meal. However, Xu Changqing actually bought only some wine and food and brought her to such a place.

Xu Changqing gave her a blanket, took out a blanket and threw it to her like a magical one, and continued to look at the noisy streets not far away.

Li Lanfang put on the blanket and soon felt much more comfortable. However, she just said a few words to Xu Changqing, and suddenly realized that there was an indescribable sadness in Xu Changqing's eyes.

It's like losing something, I want to find it but can't find it again...

This made Li Lanfang's heart softer. In the past, she had never seen Xu Changqing's firm and strong side, like a sharp sword, but she never thought that Xu Changqing would show such a look.

She originally wanted to comfort Xu Changqing, but after thinking about it, she didn't say it, wrapped in a blanket and sat obediently beside Xu Changqing.

Xu Changqing drank a glass of wine and suddenly laughed: "Zhang Zeduan, a native of the Song Dynasty, made "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", and later generations leaned on it as a miracle! But they didn't know that the beautiful scenery was right in front of them."

"Ai?"

"Along the River During the Qingming Festival? It seems a bit familiar."

Li Lanfang is clever.

Xu Changqing immediately gave her annoyed look, "You can't read some books?"

Li Lanfang seemed to be touched by her worries and said fiercely: "Do you think I don't want it! But I have this condition! Something happened at home when I was ten years old. I was like a wild dog, picking up rags and begging for food on the street to survive! Do you think everyone is like you, born in a wealthy family, has a family and a career..."

As Li Lanfang said, his eyes turned red.

Xu Changqing shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Do you need it so intense? How old are you now? It's not too late to read and read. Come and have a drink with me!"

"Get out, I don't have time to accompany you!"

"I respect you."

"This is almost the same, I'm full of it."

"Do you have a good alcohol tolerance? It's good."

"Haha, the surname Xu, in fact, you are not too bad..."

Soon, Xu Changqing had already drunk seven or eight pots of wine with Li Lanfang. Li Lanfang lay down and hugged in Xu Changqing's arms. He also chose a comfortable position and slept soundly.

Xu Changqing hugged her like this, while drinking, while examining the lights that were gradually fading away, and his heart gradually calmed down.

If you can choose, Xu Changqing really imagined it was like this, and only quietly experienced the most ordinary life in the Ming Dynasty and felt this "Along the River During the Qingming Festival".

Unfortunately, there is no choice at all!

...

The next day, when Li Lanfang woke up, it was already noon and he felt a splitting headache.

Muran, she suddenly remembered something, and was busy checking herself, but found that her clothes were very complete and she was lying in her own room.

"This bastard, he didn't..."

Li Lanfang was a little confused. Unexpectedly, Xu Changqing let go of the opportunity yesterday...

However, Li Lanfang's eyebrows frowned slightly, and she suddenly remembered that Xu Changqing seemed to have said a lot to her last night, and many of them were a little puzzled, such as European, Japanese, and American, just like these people snatched his wife.

But after being glad, Li Lanfang couldn't help but feel speechless again...

really!

Xu Chang

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Qing looks like a slutty guy on the surface, but he still cares. I'm afraid that the reason why he treats himself like this is nothing more than just pretending. He hasn't seen Bian Yujing and Chen Yuanyuan, the two great beauties, yet he hasn't touched a single finger.

"Oh."

Li Lanfang couldn't help but sneer: "The surname of Xu is not because I didn't give you a chance, but because you are not good at it yourself. That's no wonder I'm not going to blame me! I hope you can treat Xiu'er well in the future, otherwise, I will definitely not let you go!"

...

"Haha, Brother Tang is here, please invite someone to serve you good tea."

"Oh, Mr. Wang, you are so envious today."

"Brother Tang, you look good, the capital is indeed a good place."

"Haha, uncle, I like your temper. Today we must not be drunk or return home."

"Please, Brother Tang."

"Please, please."

Xu Changqing must not know Li Lanfang's little thoughts at this time. Xu Changqing was the host in a famous restaurant in Dashalan and was welcomed by the guests in person. The banquet was already being prepared in full swing.

When General Tang Tong, who was in a good mood when he saw Xu Changqing greeting him in person at the door, he felt very happy and felt his face shining.

Everyone has experienced Xu Changqing's previous strength in person. Originally, Tang Tong was so nervous about Xu Changqing's invitation today, and he thought it was a Hongmen Banquet, but when he saw Xu Changqing's attitude, he already understood that today might not be a Hongmen Banquet, but a good thing.

After Tang came, not long after, Wu Sangui, Wang Tingchen, Liu and others came one after another, and the small yard gradually became lively.

After drinking tea and chatting for a while, the news gradually began to circulate.

Although the news of the reward is still unclear, the wind direction has begun to be revealed. Even if the imperial court does not have a big reward this time, it should be above the level.

This made everyone feel very good.

This thing is actually like joining people to fight in a group fight. You did pay, but the money is obviously not in place. Everyone can come to help you stand in the station, but if you really have to work hard, you have to say it.

At this time, everyone can get rewards by just standing in the station. Who can be dissatisfied?

While everyone was chatting and laughing, Zu Dale came late and hurriedly said, "Brothers, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I'm late, I'll punish myself for three cups."

After all, he is a general, and Zu Dale is still very graceful, handsome, and at the right time. He is at the golden age of a man, and he punishes himself for three cups, which resolves the embarrassment.

It was the first time that Xu Changqing sat on the same table with the Zu family, and Wu Sangui was here, so he didn't make things difficult for Zu Dale. He nodded and it was over.

The people were already here, and the wine and food began to be served up like an assembly line.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, everyone ate some vegetables to make their stomachs, and the topic began to shift to the topic.

Wu Sangui played with the wine glass and glanced at everyone: "Changqing, uncle, brothers, let's not talk about good things for now. Everyone already knows, but there is a bad thing, I wonder if you are prepared?"

As soon as Wu Sangui said this, the atmosphere in the venue suddenly became stiff.

Zu Dale hurriedly put down the wine glass and said, "Changbo, could you be talking about reducing Liao pay?"

Wang Pu immediately looked at Xu Changqing.

Xu Changqing was like an old monk entering into meditation, without any turmoil.

This made Wang Pu feel a little confused. He didn't know where Xu Changqing was standing, but he was not stupid and closed his mouth obediently.

Wang Tingchen also came back to his senses at this time and said with a little difficulty: "Since the Battle of Songshan at the end of the 14th year, the court has repeatedly cut the military pay of our nine borders. If it is reduced this time, how much will it have?"

"Why."

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Zu Dale sighed: "What I mean is reducing Liao pay, but I am in the same spirit as the nine sides, and this is reducing the food pay for all of us. My Zu family has been guarding the border for generations. Over the years of war, people's livelihood has been withered, and my family has nowhere to live, but the court still... Alas, I really don't know how to live in the future..."

Wu Sangui looked at Xu Changqing: "Changqing, although you have gone to Shandong now, you are still considered my nine-edge sequence elite. What do you think?"

Everyone immediately looked at Xu Changqing.

Xu Changqing's attitude seemed to determine the universe at this time.

Xu Changqing smiled and took a sip of wine, but was not in a hurry to express his opinion.

When this happened just now, Wu Sangui mentioned it to Xu Changqing, but Xu Changqing did not express his opinion, which made Wu Sangui feel a little confused. At this time, someone from the Zu family also came, so he put the matter directly on the surface.

After all, although the nine sides are strong and weak, they are all in the same spirit!

Seeing that everyone was a little stiff, Xu Changqing smiled and said, "Who would be unable to get along with the money? The court reduced the food and salary, and we all had a share, and no one could avoid it! However, at this time, the reward is about to be given. What I mean is that we can wait until the reward is delivered and we can take it firmly first, and then look for others!"

Wu Sangui and Zu Dale suddenly stumbled slightly.

Wang Pu smiled and said, "Changqing said it well. Is this the capital here? It's not our territory. It's better to have less than more things. Let the reward go through it first. This time, we will serve the king for thousands of miles this time, and the court can't treat us badly, right?"

Tang Tong also came back to his senses and said with a hurried smile: "I also think Uncle Zhongyi is right. Let's go over this matter first, eat the meat that comes to his mouth first, and then consider something else. Otherwise, if this matter really starts, I'm afraid that this reward will not be done well."

Wang Tingchen seemed to have a moment, but he also spoke up and stood on Xu Changqing's side.

Wu Sangui and Zu Dale looked at each other and both understood that Xu Changqing must not want to wade into this muddy water.

Zu Dale hurriedly smiled and said, "Hey, this matter is a mess. Today, Changqing is the one who works. Come on, let's drink first, and don't talk about these unpleasant things!"

...

Although the luncheon was undercurrent, under Xu Changqing's strong control, it was barely perfect. Everyone drank a lot of wine, and Wu Sangui, Zu Dale, Wang Tingchen, Liu and others were all drunk.

When they went back, Xu Changqing and Wang Pu rode in the same carriage.

In the carriage, Wang Pu did not have the intention to drink? He spat with a gloomy face: "Changqing, the dog's damn is really unauthentic! Good things are not as good as us, but things that are not slutty must be taken into the water! Changqing, tell the truth to your brother, what do you think about this?"

Xu Changqing lit the tobacco pipe in a regular manner and let out a long breath of smoke: "Brother, why don't we think it's important, the key is how to do it! How many benefits do you think are we to make trouble with them?"

"Ai?"

Wang Pu was stunned and instantly understood what Xu Changqing meant, "Brother, we can't get involved in this matter! Damn, the benefits are from the Wu family of the Zu family. What can we get? The imperial court can suppress them and make them restrain themselves!"

Xu Changqing smiled and said, "Brother, don't talk about these unpleasant things, do you want to change the place?"

"Change, change the place?"

Wang Pu was speechless: "Changqing, why do you need to change the place? Datong is my hometown. You have whatever you want. Where are the family businesses of our ancestors? Isn't changing places a mess?"

Xu Changqing looked at Wang Pu's eyes and handed the pipe to Wang Pu.

Wang Pu took it and took a sip, but was still a little sure of Xu Changqing's veins.
