After Bian Wushuang scraped the bamboo green on the lonely mountain for half a day, he went down the mountain. Li Zhi, www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" pavilion, is still sitting on the threshold, constantly weaving bamboo baskets. Compared with before, the technique is much faster, and at noon, more than a dozen baskets of large and small sizes have been made and stacked at the feet.

The smoke on one side of the thatched roof gradually faded, and two veterans staggered out with a large wooden barrel, placed the wooden barrel on the open space, and went to the house to carry a large iron pot, a large wooden basin, and a stack of coarse sea bowls. The two of them brandished wooden spoons and banged on the edge of the barrel, making a banging sound.

"It's time to eat, it's time to eat!" A hoarse roar rang out above the lonely mountain.

With the shouting, the old men who loosened the soil in the field carried hoes and walked back from the fields, and the vegetable cairns were squatting there and carefully waiting for a pile of green vegetables to straighten their waists, and the sound of bells came from the back mountain, and several old men drove a group of sheep back with a smile. On the other side, several people were carrying a bundle of bamboo, and thorns also appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

One person picked up a large porcelain bowl, lined up for decades, and walked to the bucket in turn. Li Zhi is of course the first in line.

A big bowl of wheat flour rice, poured with a spoonful of garlic sprouts and vegetables fried bacon, the meat is the best round tail tip on the pig, the child's palm-sized meat slices, fat and thin account for half, thin bright red, fat translucent, and garlic sprouts and vegetables wrapped in one, not only delicious, but also good color.

"Old Yellow Head, aren't you going to celebrate the New Year this year?" Holding a large coarse porcelain bowl, Li Zhi asked the veteran in charge of the spoon a little strangely, "This is the treatment that was only available during the Chinese New Year in previous years!" ”

The guy known as the old yellow head said with a smile: "Old handsome, you weren't at home for the New Year last year, and the brothers weren't very willing to eat this meat. You're just afraid that you're going out again, it's already in October, and you don't know if you can rush back for the New Year, so let's be the right to celebrate the New Year today. ”

He knocked on the bucket with a smile, "Later, hurry up, hurry up, eat it while it's hot, it's fragrant." ”

Li Zhi silently held the bowl, sat back on the threshold, took a bite of wheat noodle rice, ate a bite of bacon, and looked at the old brothers, and the smile returned to his face.

"Old handsome, it's been much better this year!" After distributing the meal, Lao Huangtou himself sat down beside Li Zhi with a big bowl, and put a piece of meat from his bowl into Li Zhi's bowl. "A few days ago, I went down to buy rice and noodles, and the price dropped by 20% compared to previous years! I heard that the rice noodles we eat are all shipped from the newly established Ming Empire, and now we are in Yongdu, most of the rice noodles we eat are shipped from there, if those merchants have a little more conscience, in fact, the price is lower. ”

Li Zhi smiled, and gave the slices of meat in the bowl back to Lao Huang: "You eat, I often wander outside, often fight tooth sacrifices, I haven't come back for most of the year, I've been eating outside, and now my stomach is full of oil and water, and my breath smells oily!" ”

Lao Huang laughed: "Yes, then I'm welcome." Stuffed the slices of meat into his mouth and chewed until his mouth was full of oil: "This day is moisturized." If this is the case every year, our Daqin dolls will be blessed! ”

Holding the bowl, Li Zhi looked at Lao Huang, "Do you think our Daqin's life this year is much better than in previous years?" ”

"Of course!" Lao Huang nodded seriously: "Not to mention that the price of rice and noodles has fallen, in fact, the prices of many things on the market are falling, at this time in previous years, there have been more people fleeing the famine in Yongdu, and it will continue until the time of spring ploughing, these people will go home to work in spring ploughing, but this year, it is much less, I went to Yongdu a few days ago, and I almost couldn't see these people." ”

"Oh, so why are these people going this year?" Li Zhi asked.

"Ahem, old man, you should know this, right? This year, the relationship between our Daqin and the Ming Empire is very good, Daming, many people come to our Daqin to do business, they invite people, the price is right, many people follow them to do business, this time I also heard that there is a Daming caravan, and also invited a lot of people to escort our Daqin people to the extreme west, saying that they want to see what business can be done there. Lao Huang smiled: "If you have money to make, who would be cheeky to beg for food!" Follow these Ming people, eat and live, and have silver hair, so naturally they squeezed their heads and drilled in. ”

Li Zhi nodded, "Now the relationship between the two countries is very good, the life of the Ming Kingdom is much better than ours, there is a lot of business, and the brain is also bright, so it is also excellent for us Qin people to earn some spare money." ”

"Yes, besides, didn't our General Deng take Kaiping County this year? I heard that because of the war, a lot of people died over there, so many Qin people dragged their families and ran over there! Lao Huang shook his head, "I heard that the land in Kaiping County is not like ours here, it is very fat, go down with a hoe, sow the seeds, and wait for next year's harvest." Hahaha, General Deng is also a good skill! But Li Shuai, this Kaiping County is the territory of the original Yue Kingdom, do you say that the current Ming Empire will want to go back, if they want to go back, what should we do? ”

Li Zhi smiled and pointed to the meat in Lao Huang's mouth: "If you eat this piece of meat in your mouth, will you still spit it out?" ”

"Of course not!" Lao Huang smiled.

"That's it!" Li Zhidao.

"Then Mingguo doesn't turn his face?"

"Lao Huang, eat your meat, national affairs, it's as simple as you think." Li Zhi knocked Lao Huang's head with chopsticks.

"Yes, yes!" The old yellow chicken pecked at the rice, "What about us, we are looking forward to eating this meal every day to be satisfied!" I'm getting old, and I can finally enjoy a few days of Furo! ”

He stood up and walked to the vat: "Old handsome, I'll scoop a bowl of soup for you." The old sheep skeleton soup is beautiful! ”

Li Zhi looked at Lao Huang's back in a daze, this year's life is indeed better, but how long can such days last? I'm afraid that the storm will soon befall Daqin's head.

Qin Feng did promise himself that he would not use force against the Qin State, but he did not promise that he would not make trouble, if the Qin State itself was in turmoil, and someone within himself would collude with him, he was afraid that the war would be raging. He shuddered, this time Bian walked out of the stupid trick and gave the Deng family a great reason, and caught the Deng family for this reason, how could there be no reason not to make a fuss, plus the Ming State added fuel to the fire, no matter which reason the court had, it would make the Bian family unable to eat and walk around. As Bian Wushuang said, as soon as the Bian family fell, the Deng family was dominant, and the three-legged stand became a confrontation between the two, and the Deng family controlled hundreds of thousands of border troops, how could it not be chaotic?

Everyone wants to live a good life!

He lowered his head, pulled a large bowl of wheat noodle rice into his mouth in three or two times, drank the old sheep shelf soup brought by Lao Huang, stood up, and walked into the house.

Looking at Li Zhi's back, Lao Huang showed a sad look on his face, got up, placed the bamboo baskets under the eaves neatly one by one, and gathered the bamboo knives together, and after doing all this, he saw Li Zhi change his clothes and walked out of the house.

"I'm leaving again, when will I be back this time? Can you come back for the New Year? He asked.

"To be able to come back, this time it won't take many days, a little thing." Li Zhi smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Since the days are better this year, let's store more meat and food, this year's New Year, we have to eat and drink, and when the time comes, I will get some good wine and come back." ”

"That dare is good, the wine sold in the market is as light as water." Old Huang Mei smiled.

Li Zhi strode down the mountain, greeting the veterans who were still eating one by one, he always said to go, everyone was used to it, they all smiled and waved goodbye, shouting that they must come back for the New Year this year.

Bian Liang must not fall into the hands of the Deng family, let alone be carried back to Yongdu by the Deng family. Li Zhi did not enter Yongdu City, he went directly in the direction of Izumo County.

This is not a problem that the army can solve, nor is it a problem that others can solve, and the only one who can untie this knot is himself.

Li Zhi's feet were very fast, and when the sun was setting west, he was already nearly 100 miles away from Yongdu.

He stopped and looked ahead, above the wilderness, where a man stood, a knife stuck in the ground. His pupils contracted, he stared at the man for a long time, and walked slowly forward.

"Li Shuai!" The man bowed respectfully to the clenched fist.

"Deng Pu!" Li Zhi sighed, "I thought you would appear here, but I really don't want to see you here." ”

Deng Pu, the new grandmaster, stood with a smile, "Deng Pu was lucky to be promoted to the grandmaster, but Li Shuai has not been able to drink a glass of wine with me to celebrate, today Deng wants to invite Li Shuai to my house for a few days, drink a few glasses of wine, and also point out the maze above martial arts for Deng Pu, I don't know if Li Shuai is willing to give me this face." ”

Li Zhi sighed again, and the sadness on his face became even stronger, "Don't go." ”

"Today, Bian Wushuang went to the lonely mountain and talked happily with Li Shuai for half a day, how can Li Shuai be so thick?" Deng Pu asked.

"Li has always done things fairly."

"Is it fair?" Deng Pu laughed: "Deng has been fighting hard for the country for decades, and in the end, a will will will recall Deng to Yongdu, and Deng came back without letting go of a fart." Li Shuai, is this fair? My father, Rong Ma all his life, has just won a piece of anointed land for the Qin State, and my Deng friends in the court have been beheaded one after another, Li Shuai, is this fair? Now that someone wants to hurt people with secret arrows, Li Shuai does not come out to uphold justice, but has to rush to wipe people's buttocks, Li Shuai, is this fair? ”

"Deng Pu, right and wrong, is at ease in the hearts of the people. What I'm doing this for, you know, we all know. I will give you an explanation for this matter in the future. Li Zhi said lightly. What Qin needed was stability, not chaos. So, I have to go. ”

Deng Pu lowered his head and thought for a moment, "That's good, Li Shuai, after I became a new grandmaster, I have always wanted to ask Li Shuai for advice, it is better to pick up the day than to hit the sun, it is today!" ”

He reached out and grasped the hilt of the knife.
