In an instant, the temperature in the entire tent plummeted, and it was extremely cool. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Ice!" Takeo exclaimed.

"Not bad, ice cubes, a good product to quench your thirst!" Ming Zhongxin smiled slightly.

"Where's saltpeter?" Takeo's eyes widened and he asked Ming Zhongxin.

"Saltpeter?"

"Yes, saltpeter, how could you have this ice cube in this summer without saltpeter?" Takeo's face was taken for granted.

"No saltpeter!" Ming Zhongxin said with a smile.

"Really? No way. As he spoke, Takeo searched the entire tent for saltpeter.

As early as the end of the Tang Dynasty, when people produced gunpowder, saltpeter was mined, and people inadvertently found that saltpeter would reduce the temperature of the water when it was dissolved in water, and even freeze, so soon some people used this property of saltpeter to make ice drinks in summer, and dissolved sugar and a little spice in water to make ice cubes, which were cool and sweet.

But there is one disadvantage, that is, a lot of water is wasted, but today Takeo looked all over the tent and there was no saltpeter, which is a bit strange.

"How could you have these ice cubes without saltpeter? And where does the ice come from in the wilderness, and how do you store it? Takeo questioned Ming Zhongxin with a shocked face.

"It's a spell!" Ming Zhongxin took it for granted.

Takeo looked at the mysterious Ming Zhongxin, and slandered in his heart, where did the spell come from, you are the Maitreya Society! This must be a trick, otherwise it can't be explained!

Ming Zhongxin poured the wine in the glass bottle into the glass cup, put some ice cubes, and in an instant, the wine rattled.

Takeo looked at Ming Zhongxin blankly, it's not such a waste to have ice!

"Please!" Ming Zhongxin stretched out his hand, pointed to the wine, and said to Takeo.

"Can you drink this?" Takeo hesitated.

"If you don't believe it, it's guaranteed to be like never before!" Ming Zhongxin no longer paid attention to him, picked up the wine glass alone, and drank the wine freely.

Seeing that Ming Zhongxin was so forced, Takeo no longer hesitated, and put the wine into his stomach.

Wow, a chill rushed to the heart and lungs, Takeo shivered, and then, a warmth surged up in his stomach, it was really two heavens of ice and fire! Cool, so cool!

This guy is so good at enjoying it! But it tastes really good. Takeo slandered Ming Zhongxin for a while.

Takeo no longer delved into where the ice came from, but just raised his hand to drink, and when Akinaka saw him drink it, he also took a few ice cubes from behind him from time to time.

Although Wu Xiong was surprised in his heart, he knew that since Ming Zhongxin had not said it explicitly at the beginning, he was afraid that he would not say it if he asked again, so why bother himself, just drink good wine!

After thirty years of drinking, Ming Zhongxin looked at Takeo and was about to speak, but he only heard shouting outside the tent.

"The horse is commanded!"

Ming Zhongxin's eyes lit up, Ma Liang arrived!

Standing up, Ming Zhongxin walked out.

Helplessly, Takeo saw that Ming Zhongxin stood up, and he didn't have ice cubes to add wine, so he had to stand up and walk out behind him.

"Brother Ma, you're here! I miss my brother to death! Ming Zhongxin saw Ma Liang from afar, ran forward, and shook Ma Liang's hand as soon as he grabbed it.

Ma Liang looked sluggish, he hadn't seen Ming Zhongxin like this before? What's going on today? So passionate?

He didn't know that this was a scene played by Ming Zhongxin to Takeo, showing his closeness to Ma Liang, so that Takeo would not break his promise, and the previous mystery was also created with concentration.

You know, Takeo was looking at Li Ge Lao's sake to treat himself well, who knows if he is sincere to himself, and this time he did send a letter to Ma Liang, just asking him to go through the customs clearance procedures and hire a ship for him, after all, he has no connections in Texas, if you want to go to Texas on the same day and hire a ship, I am afraid that it will be difficult, so I asked Ma Liang to handle it for him, I never thought that Ma Liang actually came in person, this love is the essential, and the credit for returning Ma Liang's favor must also be implemented, Therefore, he deliberately showed closeness, so that Takeo strengthened his commitment to it and did not dare to discount it.

But I saw Ma Liang say with a ashamed face, "Brother Ming, you are incompetent for your brother!" ”

"It's okay, it's okay, it's not done, it's all brothers, don't worry too much!" Ming Zhongxin hurriedly stopped Ma Liang and didn't let him continue, otherwise he would be in trouble.

"Brother Ming, I can't stand you for my brother!" Ma Liang was even more ashamed.

"It's okay, it's okay, you'd better come and see Lord Jinyi Weiwu first!" Ming Zhongxin hurriedly pulled Takeo over and introduced him to block Ma Liang's mouth.

However, Ma Liang just bowed his hand to Takeo, said hello, and continued to hold Ming Zhongxin's hand, "This time, my brother has never brought troops here, I really can't help you!" ”

Ah, Ming Zhongxin is also dumbfounded, Ma Liang wants to bring troops here, why?

He thought that Ma Liang was ashamed because he had not hired a boat for him, but he didn't think that it was because he had brought troops here in the future, which was really perfect with his previous plan, it was so fucking weird!

Seeing that Ming Zhongxin didn't speak, Ma Liang continued to explain, "Brother Wei has already heard that you have encountered bandits, and fortunately, you have not been harmed, otherwise Brother Wei is really dead and cannot be redeemed!" ”

Ming Zhongxin wanted to comfort, but he felt that he had nothing to say, after all, Takeo was by his side, so it was not good for him to expose that he had not asked Ma Liang for reinforcements!

"Actually, in Texas, I have received a tip, saying that there are Maitreya bandits on the way to Texas, to ask Du Du Du to lead the troops to suppress the bandits, but also to protect your convoy, I never thought that the Du Du did not listen at all, just said that to defend Texas can not divide the troops, helpless, for the brother had to lead a few personal soldiers to help, unexpectedly, did not play a role, really ashamed!"

High, really high! Mingzhong praised himself in confidence, Ma Liang said this, and matched his previous words with Takeo tightly, and also explained why he came so late, it was just that the borrowing of troops from the governor was delayed! What a prescient self!

Ming Zhongxin is sad in his heart, the only thing that is shocked is that no one can share his pride, alas, forget it, it's better to steal the fun yourself!

"Here, Ma Liang would like to express his sincere gratitude to Master Wu, thank you for coming to my aid Brother Ming." With that, Maleonn turned to Takeo and bowed to the ground to express his gratitude.

And Takeo is embarrassed, yes, he didn't save Ming Zhongxin, but others saved themselves, and he came here to grab credit, it's really ashamed to think about it!

Ming Zhongxin snickered on the side, watching the good show of these two, one grabbed the credit to express embarrassment, and the other was forced to take the credit without knowing it, it was so funny!

"Brother Ma, I'm really ashamed, Wu didn't do his best!" Takeo said humbly.

"Lord Wu is too polite, if it weren't for Lord Wu here, how would my little brother Ming be so lucky to stand here, and still unscathed, he must have been surrounded by the Maitreya bandits!" Ma Liang thought that Takeo was being polite, and hurriedly complimented.

"Brother Ma, Wu really didn't do his part, this is all the credit of Brother Ming, and he also gave this credit to the two of us, we should be grateful to others!" Takeo hurriedly shifted the target, and by the way, Ming Zhongxin, who was passively robbed of his merits, became active in giving credit, so that he had no guilt, but also had an explanation for Ma Liang, and avoided continuing to be embarrassed, which was really a one-fell swoop, and he couldn't help but be proud of his quick wit.

"Really!" Ma Liang stared at Takeo with wide eyes.

"Yes, it's true!" Takeo nodded affirmatively.

Ma Liang looked at Ming Zhongxin, Ming Zhongxin smiled at him and nodded, and finally Ma Liangxin believed.

After thinking about it, Ma Liang also suddenly realized, yes, in the battle of Fucheng, Ming Zhongxin has shown extraordinary command ability and courage, and he has shown his resourcefulness and means at the Ming Family Farm, how could he not have imagined that he definitely has this ability, he just saw Takeo's preconceived idea, thinking that Takeo led the team to save Ming Zhongxin, but he didn't think that with Ming Zhongxin's talent, how could he not be prepared!

No, why did Ming Zhongxin give the credit to the two of them? There's something greasy in this!

Ma Liang looked at Ming Zhongxin and Takeo suspiciously, however, one of these two is a little fox and the other is an old fritter, how can he see the clues, he has found nothing! Ma Liang had no choice but to keep this suspicion in his heart.

"Brother Ming, since I didn't contribute, how could I take this credit, I really don't dare to take it!" Ma Liang Chong Ming said.

"Let's go into the tent and talk about it!" Ming Zhongxin didn't answer, but just stretched out his hand to invite the two people.

Ma Liang thought about it, indeed, this makes it impossible to talk about Gong Yi in public, so let's go into the tent!

The three of them entered the tent and sat down, Ma Liang was about to speak, but saw Ming Zhongxin hand a glass cup in front of him, "Rush all the way, it's hard work, drink a glass of wine first to suppress the shock!" ”

Ma Liang had no choice but to take the wine glass and drink it all.

Ah, the feeling of ice and fire in an instant made him forget his original intention and enjoy this wine with all his heart.

When I came back to my senses, I saw that Takeo and Ming Zhongxin were staggering, and they were pushing the cup and changing the lamp.

"Brother Ma, listen to me first!" Ming Zhongxin stopped Ma Liang's re-topic.

"I want to enter Beijing, if I take this credit alone, I will be dragged by this matter, I will not be able to make the trip for a while, delay my study tour, maybe it will affect next year's township examination imperial examination, and the gain will outweigh the loss for me. And as a scholar, even if I have some credit, I can't have a little impact on the imperial examination, so why take this credit. I really don't need this merit, on the contrary, if I take this credit, I am afraid that the remnants of the Maitreya Society will put their hatred on my Ming family, and then the Ming family will not be able to bear it. The two of you must have deeply experienced this before, so this credit is a chicken rib and a bomb for me, and you take this credit to love and support me. ”

Wu Xiong said in his heart, he hadn't thought about it before, but now that he thinks about it, it's really true! looked at Ming Zhongxin with disdain, this kid had already calculated, he couldn't enjoy this credit, and now he said this, it's really insidious!

At this moment, Ming Zhongxin smiled at Takeo, and Takeo's heart jumped, could this kid be able to see through his own thoughts?

Ming Zhongxin turned his head and continued to explain to Ma Liang.
