The stars of the moon are pale, and the mountains are high.
The tips of Zaiqing's ears twitched slightly, and he suddenly turned his head to look into the distance into the night, and said in a deep voice: "Master, the embroidered tiger is here."
Li Yehou hummed and reminded them from the bottom of his heart, "Remember to pay attention to your wording. No matter what Mr. Cui says to me next, just forget it if you have heard it. There is no need to care about it, and don't take it seriously."
The maid Huang Juan, who was adjusting the strings of the piano, looked up and looked into the distance. In the distance, he could vaguely see a snow-white figure, which seemed to be leaning against the ground to catch the wind. Suddenly, the figure was lifted up again and again, and Huang Juan's gaze continued to rise.
Pick it up, the bright moon is hanging in the sky, the mustard seed's body is facing away from the full moon, the man speeds up to fight the wind, and suddenly crashes straight towards the top of the mountain, like a man in the bright moon, relegated to the earth.
Huang Juan put the guqin back into his bag and stood behind its owner with Zhi Qing.
The young man has a red mole on his forehead, is dressed in white clothes, and has big sleeves swaying, hanging outside the mountain.
Even a Taoist with a strong Taoist heart like Huang Juan had to admit that the young man in front of him was so dazzling that it eclipsed the moonlight all over the mountain. He was really a tall and majestic man, not inferior to his master at all.
Cui Han visited Jiaoyue Lake twice before, and his maid Huang Juan happened to be away from Shuifu. She either went to Yanzhi Mountain to meet her friends, or to visit Baihua Paradise.
Have friends come from afar.
Li Yehou's eyes were bright, as if he had been waiting for this day to reunite for many years. He put away the yellowed and old cattail leaf fan in his hand, and then took off the mask covering his face. He was a handsome man. He stood up and bowed and said: "I have seen you before, Yehou."
Mr. Cui."
Cui Dongshan said calmly: "Congratulations to the Lord Ye for being promoted to the King of Nanhai Sea. Just call me Dongshan."
The three former Lords of the Five Lakes, including Li Yehou, were regarded as the Lords of the Four Lakes based on their rank based on the gold and jade genealogy in the Confucian Temple that enshrined the gods of mountains and rivers. However, they now have great power and vast jurisdiction.
Far more than before.
At the same time, the water kings of the three big lakes, including Mirage Lake, took advantage of the situation to fill the gap of the "five lakes" water kings, which was a real promotion.
Li Yehou smiled and nodded.
Among the important figures who publicly defended Jia Sheng in the past, there was the Lord of the Moon Lake, Li Yehou.
Therefore, after Li Yehou became the Water Lord of the Great Lakes, even though the Bright Moon Lake was among the Five Lakes and was actually the closest to the Confucian Temple, Li Yehou was never close to the Confucian Temple and had an alienated relationship with the sages accompanying him.
He and Xiuhu Cui Chan were old acquaintances.
Of course, there is a huge age difference between the two parties, because Li Yehou and Bai Ye are of the same era, and they were born in the same country. Li Yehou was born into a wealthy family and was an important official in the temple, while Bai Ye belonged to the "opposition" class of ordinary people. Later, he also caught a glimpse of him in the capital.
Then he spread his boat and floated away, so the two of them had little interaction.
On the contrary, in the past, Cui Han and his two junior brothers Zuo and Jun Qian once traveled to Jiaoyue Lake together. Within ten days, the two sides had eight consecutive hand-to-hand talks. They were not timed and allowed each other to take a long test.
As a result, Li Yehou almost lost the "Book Warehouse" and half of the Bright Moon Lake.
Because there were eight games in total, Li Yehou won one and lost seven. If he lost one more game, he would lose his identity as Lord of the Great Lakes.
The reason why it was so close was because the opponent voluntarily gave up the bet he deserved after winning the game.
Afterwards, Li Yehou compiled the eight games into a book called "Qiu Shui Pu". After repeated review, he discovered the mystery. The difference in chess strength between the two sides was much greater than he imagined.
The first game of chess led the king into the urn, and the remaining seven games also showed the enemy's weakness, but it was able to make Marquis Li Ye unaware of it, always thinking that the loss was just a wrong move.
Later, when Cui Chan rebelled against the literary sage lineage, he secretly visited the Jiaoyue Lake Water Mansion.
Cui Chan asked him if he would like to travel far and wide to do "what he can to prepare for a rainy day" for the world, but Li Yehou declined.
Cui Chan didn't seem to be too disappointed. Before leaving, he just saw the chess book on the table and casually said with a smile that he might as well rename the chess book "Morning Bull Book".
Li Yehou, who was a Taoist priest, could only remain silent and silently sent the embroidered tiger gift out of the country.
It's not that he's afraid of getting into trouble, or that he's reluctant to part with his identity as Shui Lord, but that after Li Yehou became a god, his temperament became more and more relaxed, as if all his lofty ambitions and ambitions had been lost to his former self and his once talented people.
A child prodigy, a young Taoist priest who lives in seclusion in the mountains to practice Taoism but has the country in his heart, a young civil servant who goes out to serve as an official to turn the tide after the fall, continues the country, mends the country, saves the people from dire straits in middle age and old age, and finally retires with success
, turned into a god of mountains and rivers, and no longer paid attention to family, state and human affairs, and just bought books, collected books, read books, and repaired books.
Cui Dongshan turned his head, his face had changed, and he joked with a smile: "Brother Zhaqing, why haven't you seen me for a hundred years? Your level has not improved, but you are a bit taller? Do you have a unique secret? Why don't you teach me?"
The little man blushed and said gloomily: "It's nothing, Mr. Cui, don't talk nonsense."
On Xiuhu Cui Chan's side, there is no shame in bowing his head and admitting to being a coward.
As for why Cui Chan turned into a young man, God knows. Isn't it normal for strange people to do strange things?
Before coming, the master reminded him and Huang Juan that if they saw a young man named Cui Dongshan, just treat him as an embroidered tiger.
It wasn't until this moment that Huang Juan realized that the man next to him seemed indeed to be more than an inch taller. No, it was a full two inches!
She immediately wanted to understand the mystery and said angrily: "Zhaqing, have you been kicked in the head by a donkey? Do you even want to imitate A Liang in such a thing?!"
It turns out that he was a fool at Zhaqingxue, and there was a secret hidden in his boots.
Previously, someone brought a young scholar and an old man in yellow with an immortal spirit to visit Jiaoyue Lake together.
Then on the steps, the guy took off his shoes and immediately put his boots back on.
It's okay to say that the young scholar behaved well and politely from beginning to end. However, the old man in yellow next to the young man was really unexpected and surprised Huang Juan.
Extremely high, he soon became famous all over the world in Yuanyangzhu. He called himself Taoist Nen, and became a sensation as soon as he made a move. He defeated Nan Guangzhao, who was also a great monk in the Ascension Realm, and completely lost his face.
Li Yehou got straight to the point and said: "I believe Mr. Cui knows very well what Yehou is looking for this time, so he can make an offer."
Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "It's rare to reminisce about old times, why not talk about things while playing chess?"
Li Yehou said: "As long as there is no bet, Yehou can leave Tongyezhou later and have a hand-to-hand talk with Mr. Cui."
Cui Dongshan persuaded: "It's a small gamble, but if I accidentally get kicked out of the 'Yuexia Game' by Ye Hou, wouldn't it be a beautiful game? I can give way first."
Seeing that Li Yehou was unmoved, Cui Dongshan rubbed his chin with one hand and stretched out two fingers with the other hand, "If the first one is not enough, I can give two more sons, how about that?"
In the end, the Dashui Lord still pretended to be deaf and dumb. Cui Dongshan stamped his feet, shook his sleeves, and complained: "Yehou, you are too arrogant. Are you going to be a beginner in Go and try to win nine pieces?"
close?"
The dynasties of various countries and the Yilin Chess Academy at the foot of the mountain all have the custom of having nine sons play the game. If chess players want to enter the palace and gain a rank, they have to go through the nine-son pass where the chess players are waiting for the national players.
Li Yehou seemed to have made up his mind not to talk to Cui Dongshan. He just smiled and said: "Mr. Cui, let's talk about business directly. Yehou's trip this time is not for sightseeing. He needs to return to the South China Sea immediately to escort the ferry. I must have
Xiandu Mountain has a lot of affairs now, so I won’t waste Mr. Cui’s precious time.”
Cui Dongshan saw that the other party refused to take the bait, so he had to find a way. He was bullied by the old bastard back then and he was afraid. He couldn't hold down Li Yehou's head and play chess, so he had to talk about business, "My husband can at most sell you a
Be transported by water."
Li Yehou immediately asked: "Does Mr. Chen currently own 10% of the Yiluohe water transportation, or does he own 10% of the Yiluohe water transportation in the past?"
Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "How much is 10%? It depends on Brother Yehou's sincerity."
Li Yehou thought for a while and said, "No matter what kind of '10% water transport' it is, I will give the sincerity I expected."
The place where Wensheng Hedao is located is the broken mountains and rivers of the three continents including Nan Po Suazhou. As the great water king who controls the flow of the South China Sea, Li Yehou can appropriately adjust the water flow without violating the prohibition and not being held accountable by the Confucian Temple.
, it is not considered as a pretense for public benefit. During this trip, Li Yehou had no intention of competing with Xiuhu. What should be the "price"? If it works without any changes, I will leave. If it doesn't work, I will leave.
Cui Dongshan started to jump and curse, shaking his sleeves and crackling, "Damn it, Li Yehou, did you realize that my husband is a gentleman who is not good at business, how can you be such a bastard?! Ah?!
"
Nowadays, in the vast world, there are a handful of great monks who are full of food and have nothing to do all day long. They are asked to help collect all kinds of comments about the young hermit official from the wild world.
Marquis Li Ye wants to purchase 10% of the water transport of the entire wilderness Yiluo River. Of course, if Chen Pingan is willing to give 15%, that would be the best. The more, the merrier.
Li Yehou took out a booklet from his sleeve and said, "10% of the water transport on the Yiluo River. This is the detailed plan of our Nanhai Palace and the 300,000 water people in the next hundred years. The Confucian Temple can't fault it. I can guarantee that Nan Posuo will
Within a hundred years, the continent will have better weather than in the past, and the mountains and mountains will usher in a good situation that has not been seen in three thousand years."
Cui Dongshan reached out to take the booklet, opened the first page, rolled his eyes, and just casually threw the booklet written by Shuijun directly on the ground, stepped on it hard, and waved his sleeves, "
You can get out."
Huang Juan was slightly angry. She hesitated to speak. If she hadn't been reminded by her master before, she would have started to curse.
This person is so disrespectful to his master, so what if you are half an embroidered tiger Cui Chan?!
As a result, she was killed and she gently pulled her sleeves.
Cui Dongshan squinted at the maid carrying the piano bag and sneered: "What the hell, are you going to play that trick of humiliating a minister to death with me? Are you threatening me or scaring me? I'm a coward, scare me to death."
You don’t have to pay for your life, but you have to pay for it. Such a huge amount of money is an astronomical figure! Be careful to implicate the Marquis of Ye by selling iron to help you wipe your butt..."
Huang Juan's face turned red with anger.
Li Yehou looked as usual, stretched out his hand to grab the book, put it back in his hand, patted the dust on the cover gently, "If it's just a tiger embroidery, I'll turn around and leave."
Li Yehou once again stretched out his hand and handed the book to the young man in white, as if saying to himself: "But the person sitting on the water transport of the Yiluo River is a close disciple of Wen Sheng, a young man who established the next sect in Tongyezhou.
