Young Master Liu's flawless response made Li Ran a little surprised. No wonder his father and brother valued his third brother-in-law so much.
After just a few words of conversation, Li Ran understood in her heart that Liu Mingzhi was definitely the kind of person who would not let go of the eagle when he saw the rabbit.
In just a short moment of facing Young Master Liu, Li Ran felt a little powerless when facing Young Master Liu, as if you punched the soft silk quilt, and all the strength was invisible.
Li Ran raised her eyes and glanced at Young Master Liu who was quietly eating cakes. He slowly picked up the teacup and tasted the tea, hiding the strange color on his face.
After a long time, the plate of pastries was completely wiped out by Mr. Liu. Apart from the pleasantries when they first met, there was only the sound of Mr. Liu chewing, and there was no other sound in the living room.
For nearly half the incense stick, the two of them didn't exchange a word.
Li Ran, who had already drank three cups of tea, gradually couldn't hold it any longer. Liu Mingzhi was far more difficult to deal with than he imagined.
Li Ran gently put down the teacup in her hand and coughed lightly: "Brother-in-law, are the pastries in my house so delicious? You can actually eat them with such joy and relish!"
Liu Mingzhi patted the residue on his hand, chuckled and shook his head at Li Ran,
“Second Sister, it’s not that these pastries are so delicious that I can’t put them down, but Second Sister, if you have ever traveled thousands of miles, eating a piece of solid food when you were hungry, and drinking some snow water when you were thirsty, you will know that the taste of these pastries is simply the most delicious in the world.
exist."
Li Ran was startled, and after a moment's thought, he understood the meaning of Liu Mingzhi's words.
In the ice and snow, with the roads slippery and blocked, Liu Dashao led more than 200,000 soldiers and horses to attack from the Kingdom of Jin to the Northern Territory of Dalong, and then from the Northern Territory back to the capital to rescue King Qin. It only took more than thirty days.
The day is nothing short of a miracle.
Li Ran stayed with her husband Wanjie and settled in Jeju all year round, so she naturally understood the influence of weather conditions on marching.
Looking at Mr. Liu's somewhat sad expression, Li Ran couldn't help but have a picture emerge in his mind.
More than 200,000 cavalry rushed across the wilderness, facing the harsh weather of wind and snow. When they were hungry, they gnawed on hard pancakes, and when they were thirsty, they galloped on the snow water, which made their hearts tremble and their expressions were slightly startled.
.
What kind of elite army is this?
With the commander's order issued, nothing in front of them could stop their charge.
Wherever the handsome flag goes, that is where the cavalry goes.
Elite?
No, it should be the best among the best.
My husband is also a member of the army, so Li Ran naturally has some understanding of the situation of the soldiers. Not only Dalong, but if he can find a second troop with the same number of 200,000 cavalrymen under Master Liu's command all over the world, I'm afraid they will all
Not easy.
Perhaps Liu Mingzhi's repeated victories in every campaign since he suppressed the Jin Kingdom's rebellion have a lot to do with his strategy of leading troops and the troops under his command.
Li Ran gradually came back to her senses as she thought about it, her brows furrowed slightly, looking very charming.
She suddenly realized that she was the one who asked the question, but was instead dragged into a ditch by Liu Mingzhi. She lost the initiative and almost ignored her original purpose of inviting Liu Mingzhi into the house for a chat.
Taking a slow and deep breath, Li Ran calmed down and secretly warned herself not to forget her purpose and be led astray by Young Master Liu again.
"Brother-in-law, have you had enough to eat and drink?"
Young Master Liu was stunned for a moment, then pulled the cake in front of Li Ran in front of him with a shameless expression.
"If you don't mind, second sister, I'll enjoy this plate of pastries too."
"People would rather eat to their fullest than go hungry. Eat as much as possible when you have something to eat, so as not to go hungry when you have nothing to eat."
"Second sister probably has never felt the feeling of hunger, but my little brother has experienced it several times."
"It's hard to keep food and supplies, so I have to cut back on my food intake and feel hungry. I will never forget it in my life."
"I'm sure that those who say that gobbling up food is unbecoming of a gentleman must have never been hungry. To put it bluntly, for these so-called gentlemen, they were starved for three days and three nights, not to mention eating, and only eating leftovers.
fragrant."
"At that time, they will completely forget about the so-called gentleman's demeanor, and it will not matter what is shameless."
"People have no face when they are extremely hungry."
"I think that my second brother Wan Jie should be more familiar with the scene that I just talked about. They are also the ones who led the troops. I believe that my second brother must have felt deeply about it."
Li Ran nodded subconsciously. More than once, she saw her husband Wan Jie devouring food after returning from the expedition. Thinking about it, Li Ran hurriedly shook her head and forced the things out of her mind.
It seemed that he had been led astray by Liu Mingzhi again.
He invited him here because of his nephew Li Tao's affairs, not to hear about his life in the general's brigade.
Watching Young Master Liu holding the pastry and chewing it slowly, Li Ran picked up the pot and poured Young Master Liu a cup of tea. He made up his mind. It seemed that he had to get straight to the point, otherwise he would not be able to get to the point until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.
.
"Brother-in-law, I think you must have heard about the second prince Li Ye's intention to seize the throne, right?"
Young Master Liu pinched the pastry with his fingers and exerted slight force. The crispy pastry broke instantly, and Young Master Liu hurriedly held it in his hand and stuffed it into his mouth.
Young Master Liu's eyes flickered slightly, and he sighed silently in his heart. It seemed that the procrastination technique no longer worked.
Liu Mingzhi placed the plate on the table, picked up the tea and drank it all in one gulp, looking at Li Ran's meaningful eyes and nodding slightly.
"Of course my little brother has heard about it!"
Li Ran breathed a sigh of relief and finally got to the point: "Then as my brother-in-law..."
"My little brother has been thinking deeply all night, and I think this is probably a cunning plot by the Jin Kingdom or the Turks. The purpose is to make me, Da Long, fall into civil strife again."
"The purpose is self-evident. The internal strife of my dragon is rampant, and only the two of them can benefit from it."
"What do you think the second sister is?"
Young Master Liu cut off Li Ran's words and gave his answer directly.
He didn't care whether the matter of the second prince Li Tao's seizure of the throne was a calm one or a demonic one. He didn't want to get involved until the matter was clear.
The second prince was welcomed back by Wan Mingliang and Li Ran. It would be better if the matter of seizing the throne was fake or real. Liu Mingzhi also planned to wait and see what happens. As long as Li Tao's matter did not become a foregone conclusion, he did not need to pay attention to these things at all.
Li Ran was slightly startled, looking at Mr. Liu's chuckle, the color in his bright eyes became brighter and brighter.
Jade fingers gently tapped the table, and Li Ran nodded slightly.
"It seems that my brother-in-law and I have the same ideas."
"In this case, I can rest assured. The purpose of inviting you here this time is to see your opinion, brother-in-law. Now I feel confident."
"As long as you, brother-in-law, believe that Tao'er has no intention of competing with Ye'er for the throne, I believe that this evil wind will not be raging in the capital for long."
"The second sister is so complimentary. The younger brother is just doing his best."
"Brother-in-law is too modest. There are 300,000 elite cavalry with a strong evil spirit guarding the outside of the city. I can't even think of any monsters and monsters becoming rampant."
Liu Mingzhi frowned slightly and then relaxed.
"According to my second sister's auspicious words, I hope there really won't be any demons or ghosts that come out to cause trouble. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind trying the weapons in my brothers' hands to see if they can stop gods from killing gods and Buddhas from killing Buddhas."
"I believe in the vision of my father and brother. In this case, I will keep a brother-in-law soon. A man and a woman alone should not get along for too long, lest they cause some trouble."
"We have the same opinion. In this case, I will take my leave. My second sister will stay behind and talk more when I have time."
"It's easy to leave without seeing him off!"
"Stay!"
Li Ran stood up and walked outside the hall. Looking at the back of Liu Dashao walking carelessly, Liu Yemei sighed slightly.
"Who is trying to trap my Wan family into injustice? Is my brother-in-law really unaware of this, or is he just pretending to be confused?"
Li Ran came back to her senses, clapped her hands gently, and a white shadow floated over.
"Wei Di Li Rong meets His Highness!"
"Have you found anything?"
"Princess, forgive me, there is no trace of the rumor.asxs!"
"Has the reply from Mrs. He arrived?"
"It should be on the way. I will try my best to urge you!"
"Okay, please step aside first. I will go to the Duke's Mansion to pay homage to my father-in-law before we talk!"
"Congratulations to the princess!"
Young Master Liu left Princess Jingning's Mansion and rushed towards Liu's Mansion without stopping at all.
In just one stick of incense, Young Master Liu returned to the mansion. After writing some things in the study, he rushed to Qi Yun's room, took out the training stick and chased the three Liu Chengfeng brothers.
After a while, the quiet Liu Mansion became agitated.
Young Master Liu's third sworn brother, Brown, huddled in the corner and shivered, not daring to mess around with the three brothers for fear of getting into trouble and becoming a hotpot.
During the tea time, the three brothers Liu Chengfeng, Liu Chengqian and Liu Chengzhi started swaying in the wind on the trees in the courtyard.
Young Master Liu slapped his palms with the training stick and wandered around with a gloomy face, occasionally glaring at the three brothers who were writhing their buttocks and howling.
"If I don't beat you, you really don't have a long memory. You really dare to think about going to a brothel at the age of eleven!"
"I really don't know what to do. You are so young and have such a small physique. What's the point of going there? You're just wasting money and making other girls feel disgusted."
"If your own strength is not good enough, what kind of brothel do you go to? Do you want to play mahjong?"
"Ah? Ah? Ah?"
"Have you learned all your knowledge from dogs during your years in the Imperial College?"
"Can you learn more about the behavior of a gentleman? You three little ancestors, can you give me a long face? Let me save some worry!"
"Wealth cannot be lascivious, power cannot be subdued. If you don't learn these good habits, why can't you learn to adjust them? You are going to piss me off to death."
"Old...Old...Dad, if you can't be slutty with wealth, why do our Liu family need so much wealth, gold and silver?"
Young Master Liu was startled, feeling that his outlook on life had deviated a bit!
Is this how you understand that wealth cannot be promiscuous?
When he came back to his senses, Young Master Liu was furious and roared at the three brothers.
"Damn it, does this mean that rich people can't be promiscuous? Which goddamn master taught this? I'll kill him!"
"You can't be promiscuous when you're rich, so why do you want to be rich? Are these ridiculous remarks taught to you by some old bastard who gave birth to a son with kidney failure?"
