Danya Mountain in the north of Penglai City has the reputation of "Danya Wonderland" and "Penglai Immortal Mountain" since ancient times. At this time, in late autumn, the red leaves on Danya Mountain are long, like a fantasy. On the top of Danya Mountain, which sits in the north and faces south, the sea of clouds is surrounded by waves and mountains, and the beautiful scenery of the sea and mountains emerges endlessly, dozens of manors of officials and wealthy people of all sizes are built.

Among these magnificent, carved and beautiful manors, the Yingzhou Manor of King Li Xiao of Zhao is the most luxurious and extravagant. Yingzhou Manor sits in the north and faces the south, facing the sea, standing on the terrace 20 zhang high near the sea, leaning on the railing, looking at the sea and the sky, and letting the birds fly and jump freely. The waves are squeezing the stones, and the cold sea breeze with the splashing mist floats in the air, full of the smell of the sea.

Li Xiao likes long-sleeved robes, sits cross-legged on the Hu bed, frying a pot of fragrant tea, introducing three or five acquaintances to make literary friends, facing the sea, talking freely, and unrestrained. However, the weather is getting cooler, and most of the guests can't stand the sea breeze, so they rarely come here to watch the sea and taste tea. Only Li Xiao likes this kind of oncoming coldness very much, watching the sea by the railing, and the sea breeze with water mist hitting his face, which can always make him more awake.

Today, on the viewing platform of the manor, which has not been visited by guests for a long time, there is another circle of people. As he had done thousands of times before, Li Wei stroked the railing with his hand and watched the sea from the railing.

He stood quietly by the window, his wide robe and big sleeves fluttering in the wind, elegant, stroking the white jade railing, alone towards the dark sky, the cold wind shuttling and whistling around him.

Li Jing knelt on the seat, put his hands on his knees, and silently looked at the degraded Eighth Emperor Uncle. Li Wei looked idle and unrestrained, and seemed to be full of the demeanor of a Jin scholar, but the calmness of his watching the sea from the railing made Li Jing feel that there was a tiger lurking in Li Wei's heart.

In addition to the whistling wind in the air, it is the splash sound of rumbling waves crashing on the rocks of Danya Mountain. The atmosphere was a little solemn, he looked at his side, Li Hui'er and Yu Youniang were also sitting there like him, with their heads lowered and solemn faces. On the other side, Yu Xuan and Cui Yunqing, who were patiently frying a pot of tea with no one on their hands.

"You're just lawless, nonsense!" Li Xiao turned to look at Li Jing and the three of them, his eyes were gloomy, and his tone was full of seriousness.

Li Hui'er raised her head and said in a coquettish tone: "Aya, it's that Feng Liang who is aggressive, and his daughter just can't see it, so she just teaches him a lesson." ”

"Lessons? Even if Feng Wulang is unbearable, it won't be the turn of a few of you to teach a lesson. You guys are really bold enough to make such a big deal out of it. That Feng Wulang was injured by you in public, but fortunately it didn't hurt the viscera, otherwise, it depends on how you guys end. ”

Li Xiao did have a headache about this thing between his daughter and Li Jing. He was demoted out of Beijing, hanging on to a non-idle position, and what he needed most was to be low-key. But this daughter is good, she usually loves her too much, but she often shows up in male clothes on weekdays, and now she openly gambles and makes a bank, seriously injuring Feng Yanqing's nephew, and making Feng Liang owe a huge gambling debt of 20,000 horses.

Li Jing raised his head and said, "King, this matter is actually to blame me, if I don't accept Feng Liang's provocation, there will be no follow-up matters." However, although I injured Feng Liang, it was also because he secretly injured people during the fight. ”

"You, you" Li Xiao stretched out his hand and pointed at Li Jing and the others, but he still snorted and didn't say any more.

Yu Xuan said with a smile on the side: "King Zhao doesn't have to blame the three of them too much, although the three of them are messing around, but it was also Feng Wulang's own fault." Although we want to not interfere with Feng Yanqing's well water, if they have to provoke trouble, then we can't be afraid of them. The young people's affairs should be handled by the young people, and as long as the trouble is not excessive, let them do it. Make a fuss, and just stir up the water. After Yu Xuan got the order, the whole body was a lot. There is also a slight edge in the tone of his speech.

"I'll settle accounts with you later." Li Wei saw that Li Hui'er was still squeezing her eyebrows with Li Jing and Yu Youniang, and couldn't help but say angrily.

Cui Yunqing distributed the fried soup flowers to everyone, took a sip of tea and said: "I will immediately send someone to send Feng Liang's identity jade back to Feng Mansion, and write a note for Feng Changshi." In addition, don't mention the matter of the 20,000 horses of silk again. You ask Feng Liang for 20,000 pieces of silk, and others will think that it is a few old things who are calculating his Feng Liang's property. ”

When Li Jing heard the teacher say that he wanted to forgive the gambling debts of the 20,000 pieces of silk, he couldn't help but feel a little heartache. There were 10,000 of his silks, which were 8,000 yuan. Although he had made up his mind to train the army, how could the money be too much.

Cui Yunqing seemed to see Li Jing's thoughts, and chuckled: "Don't look like a villager, it's just 20,000 pieces of silk, how can we lack this thing?" For this little thing outside the body, it is not worth it to be too strong with Feng Yanqing. If you're short on money, just talk to me. ”

20,000 horses of silk is an astronomical amount in Li Jing's opinion, but whether it is for Cui Yunqing, who was born in the largest family in Shandong, or for Li Wei, who is the uncle of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the current emperor, or for Yu Xuan, who is an envoy of a five-section degree, this amount of money is really not much.

Take Cui Yunqing as an example, in addition to the huge family assets of the Cui family for hundreds of years. Cui Yunqing, as a second-grade commander, is a first-class assassin from the third-grade assassination history. He has 100 hectares of Yongye field, 25 hectares of Xuntian, and another 25 hectares of vocational field. These three things add up to 150 acres, a full 15,000 acres of land. Generally, the yield per mu ranges from two stones to seven or eight buckets, even if there is only one stone output per acre, it is also an annual income of 15,000 stones. If we remove half of the grain counted as tenant farmers, seeds, and field endowments, there are still as many as seven or eight thousand stone of grain a year. In addition, Cui Yunqing also has an annual salary of 1,000 yuan, plus 500 stone of rice. These do not include some of Cui Yunqing's other gray incomes as officials. As a top official of the Tang Dynasty, Cui Yunqing's net worth is not ordinarily rich.

Eight thousand yuan is a lot, but for people like Cui Yunqing, it's just silk or grain in a few warehouses, it's just a number.

Cui Yunqing: What they are fighting for is the control of power, and money is no longer too important to them. Yu Xuan is about to be promoted to Fengzhou, Cui Yunqing's strength will inevitably weaken, at this time, Cui Yunqing does not want to have a fierce conflict with Feng Yanqing because of Feng Liang's matter.

Li Jing is always a little unaccustomed to Cui Yunqing's way of fighting, Cui Yunqing and they like to fight like boiled frogs in warm water, no matter how fierce the fight is in their hearts, in private, they always have to maintain a gentle appearance on the surface. Once the fight becomes intense, the two sides will immediately take a step back and ease the situation. is always maintaining a bottom limit, and no one will break through this bottom level, so as not to force the other party to break the net.

"Teacher, although the student has not had much contact with Feng Changshi, he also feels that this person seems to have a small belly, and he is very similar to Feng Liang. The teacher showed favor to Feng Yanqing, but he was afraid that this person would not appreciate it. ”

"I'm well aware of that." Cui Yunqing sighed: "But Feng Yanqing is not the only one, they are also a strong force. We and Feng Dou are like two tigers meeting in the mountains and forests, they will first yell and intimidate each other, and then make various preparations for attack, but. The result is often no real fight, often after showing each other's strength, the weaker side will take the initiative to back off, and the stronger side will never chase and kill. Do you know why? ”

Because although the weaker side also has a chance to win, it is more likely to lose, so he chooses to retreat with all his body. The strong side, although it has a good chance of winning after winning the worst game, will definitely be injured by the counterattack and cannot do it without hurting itself. Both tigers are jealous, that's why it's like this. Li Jing replied.

Yu Xuan smiled: "What you said is good, but it's a pity that you haven't seen it too deeply." The two tigers can't fight after showing their strength, not only because the two tigers are fighting, but also because one of them will be injured. The main reason is that the two tigers know that they don't fight each other because there are more prey in the jungle that are weaker than each other. Why would they have to fight to the death when they could easily get other prey? No matter how ferocious the big insect is, after the two sides fight, even if they win, they will also be injured. And the injured big worm has to face the challenges of wolves, leopards and other low-level ones. Fighting is to strengthen strength, not fighting, but to preserve strength. Sometimes, it is more important not to fight than to fight. ”

Hearing this, Li Jing seemed to understand. Cui Yunqing, Li Xiao and Feng Yanqing are obviously two fierce tigers, and when the two tigers meet, they both want to occupy the mountain forest of Dengzhou. But one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and both tigers want to occupy them, but they are afraid of each other and dare not fight directly. They yelled at each other and waved their claws to show their strength in order to force the weaker side to leave. They were afraid of each other, and although they were extremely close, none of them dared to be the first to really attack each other.

Cui Yunqing and Li Xiao are both calm and sophisticated, but Li Jing always feels that Uncle Feng Liang is not that kind of rational person. The uncles and nephews of the Feng family are always aggressive, and in the face of this confrontation, Li Jing always feels that things may not be as Cui Yunqing expected.

"In my opinion, it is better for Saburo and the county lord and the little girl to go on a trip in person. Let them personally come to the door to return the jade to Feng Liang, and by the way, bring some gifts to accompany Feng Yanqing. ”

took the jade bi hand sticker, but Li Jing didn't know what to say. It's just that I secretly look forward to it in my heart, hoping that the uncle and nephew of the Feng family can really be as Cui Yunqing said, before seeing the strength of the alliance between Cui and Li, they are willing to admit defeat and give in.

Otherwise, if the immortal fights, I am afraid that he, a mortal, will be the first to suffer.
