Chapter 347: Drinking water for ten years will not cool your blood (additional update)
Young Master Liu looked at the two tit-for-tat elders with a grimace, admonishing neither of them. https:
Especially when he was arrogant towards the Protector of the Country, he felt even more helpless. What should he call him? Uncle, relying on Song Yu's reputation, he really should be called uncle.
However, if you rely on Mrs. Liu, you should call the Protector of the Country Zhang Kuang Cousin.
After thinking for a long time, Young Master Liu exhaled speechlessly: "Uncle, let's go to the stable first. Whether it succeeds or not depends on whether they are willing or not."
Young Master Liu clearly understood that no matter what the old man and Zhang Kuang called it, it was a matter of their generation and it would not have much to do with him.
If I really called the Protector of the Country my cousin, that would be really rude. It would make people think that my Liu family's tutoring was not good, and I would become a person who does not understand etiquette.
What the old man said before was nothing more than angering him in front of Kuang Kuang.
As expected, Young Master Liu called out uncle instead of cousin. Liu Zhi'an's eyes showed a look of satisfaction. His grudge with the Protector of the Country was his grudge with the Protector of the Country. If Young Master Liu really
After calling out my cousin Liu Zhi'an, even though he wouldn't say anything in front of the arrogant person, he would even make fun of her with added jealousy.
But in private, he would definitely reprimand Mr. Liu for not knowing etiquette.
"Haha" Zhang Kuang couldn't help but laugh: "Liu Zhi'an, you saw it, the boy called me uncle, but I want you to say that we are all descendants of the Liu family. How come there is such a big gap in life?"
"Haha, if you call me uncle, that's because I teach my children well and know the priorities. But that doesn't change the fact that I am your uncle."
Liu Zhi'an still looked at Zhang Kuang with disdain, his expression that wanted to be beaten was not to mention arrogant. Even Young Master Liu wanted to go up and give him a slap to relieve his hatred.
Although the old man was not very serious in the past, he was not as mean as he is today. Could it be that these two people were enemies in the previous life.
No, the old man’s enemies in his previous life should have been me and Mingli. So what does this have to do with Zhang Kuang?
"I'm too lazy to argue with you, so I'll go with the horse."
Zhang Kuang stood up and turned his head arrogantly, but it could also be seen that he was at a disadvantage in the contest with Liu Zhi'an.
There is no way, no matter how Liu Zhi'an takes advantage of the fact that he is his arrogant uncle, it is natural to argue with him, but the opposite is not true. In this way, he cannot take advantage at all.
On the contrary, Liu Zhi'an will take advantage of him everywhere.
Young Master Liu led the way for Zhang Kuang and walked towards the stable. Zhang Kuang held Hei Niu's horse rein in his hand and looked helpless as he gritted his teeth.
There was nothing I could do about it, and Liu Zhian was the same, he just left after teasing his arrogance, but he followed behind with his hands behind his back, saying "What a little madman" from time to time.
There was nothing he could do about the old man Mr. Liu who was doing bad things in his family from time to time, so he could only let it go.
The three of them stepped on the snow on the ground and finally arrived at the stable. In the stable, in addition to Mr. Liu's bloody BMW, there were also several strong horses. They were the horses that Liu Zhian used to pull the cart when he came from Jiangnan.
.
"Sir, sir, why are you here?"
"Xiaojiu, don't rush to clean the horse pen now, you will be busy later."
"yes."
When Zhang Kuang saw a few strong horses, he immediately rushed up, touching here and there and looking at them: "What good horses? They are all good horses from the Western Regions. There is no way that such horses can be raised in the Central Plains."
Zhang Kuang didn't mind the smell of the horse pen. He squatted on the ground and tapped the horse's legs, then opened the horse's teeth and took a look. These small actions showed that Zhang Kuang was a real horse lover.
When Zhang Kuang stroked the horse's mane, he saw the faint saddle marks on the horse's back and his face turned ugly: "Liu Zhi'an, you are a loser. You use such a good horse to pull a cart. You know that these good horses are used in the cavalry phalanx."
What effect will it have?"
"Call uncle."
"Hi." Zhang Kuang sighed helplessly.
He wiped the mark on the horse's back distressedly, feeling speechless and choked. Young Master Liu looked a little sad when he saw the arrogant look on his side.
However, he had nothing to do. The war horses in Dalong's army were controlled by the Ministry of War and the Horse Administration. Even if Liu Zhi'an gave these seven or eight sturdy BMWs to Zhang Kuang, it would be of no use to the tens of thousands of cavalry on the border.
No help.
Today's cavalry is equivalent to the armored troops of later generations. Although they have unlimited combat power and can rush and attack, and catch the enemy by surprise, they all have a common disadvantage: they are expensive and quite expensive.
For Nuo Da's army, no amount of money can make a splash. This is what Li Zheng complained about in the Liu Mansion. He can call on a new army of hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands at any time.
Long, all the people are soldiers. Some people have no money, and there are soldiers but no food. What can he do?
The Han people in the bright and cheerful era were not as bloodless as they were in the Qing Dynasty, suppressed by Manchu policies. Before the Song Dynasty, no Han people were synonymous with war.
In addition, Li Zheng was an enlightened king. In all dynasties, chivalrous men used martial arts to break the law. However, Li Zheng did not wipe out those martial arts sects because he hoped that the people could learn some tricks to fight against the enemy, so that the bloody spirit in the hearts of the people would not be wiped out.
.
His heart was good, but it was a pity that Li Zheng ignored one point. The people were poor in literature and rich in martial arts, so how could the common people have the money to support the expenses of practicing martial arts.
The common people before the Song Dynasty said that what is not good is that they are brave and fierce, and what is good is that they have not lost their blood. During the Han Dynasty, compared with the nomadic Huns in the north who relied on farming for a living, the Han people were able to fight one Han and the other five.
Hu's reputation.
Although the great Han Dynasty was in panic and Guo Zuo was far away, the divine blood of the Han people was everlasting.
"Uncle, take it step by step. Sooner or later, His Majesty will point his sword to the north and wash away the humiliation of these years."
"Well, I have been working hard for twenty years. When will I be able to go north to the border and regain the land of Heshuo occupied by the Turks? When will I be able to step on the palace of the Kingdom of Jin with a long sword? I'm afraid I won't be able to see it in my lifetime." There was something unexpected in the arrogant words.
There is a feeling of being a hero in his twilight years.
"Uncle, don't be negative. It's coming soon. The day is coming soon. Not only do we have to regain the lost ground, but we also have to fight with the dragon cavalry across Asia and the whole world. As an old man, you can always aim at a thousand miles. It's always good to have hope."
"Asia?"
"Oh! I was wrong. I drove the Turks out of the grassland, recovered the lost land in Heshuo, and re-established the Protectorate of the Western Regions. The thirty-six countries in the Western Regions are like some disobedient children. Sooner or later they will return to their mother's arms.
Yes, sooner or later, Dalong's cavalry will be invincible."
Arrogant and confused, he breathed out: "As you wish, we won't talk about political affairs today, we will only talk about the foal issue."
Zhang Kuang let go of the horse's rein, and Hei Niu leaned towards Feng Xing, the horse's head rubbing against Feng Xing's mane.
Fengxing sneezed a few times and started rubbing each other with the arrogant black girl.
"Uncle, it looks like it's going to be done. You can rest assured. You haven't had lunch yet. I'm going to arrange a table of good food right away. I'll leave Feng Xing and Hei Niu to Xiao Jiu to take care of them."
Zhang Kuang reluctantly glanced at the black girl who was rubbing Feng Xing: "Okay."
"Xiaojiu, I leave it to you."
"Don't worry, Sir."
Inside the pavilion of the Liu Mansion, there were four steaming coal stoves surrounding it. They were not afraid of gas poisoning even in the semi-open air, so Liu and the other two people just let the stoves burn.
Mr. Liu picked up a pot of warm cilantro and filled the old man's cup with it.
Then he was holding the wine bottle and was about to pour it for Zhang Kuang, but his hand was stopped in mid-air by Zhang Kuang.
He looked at Zhang Kuang in confusion: "Uncle, what are you doing?"
He smiled arrogantly and took out a gourd from his waist: "I only drink water but not alcohol."
"If uncle is too drunk, forget it. Just use water instead of wine. We don't have so many rules."
He arrogantly pulled out the cork on the gourd and poured a glass of clear water into the cup. Then he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp: "If I don't pacify the Turks and the Jin Kingdom for a day, I don't drink for a day. It's been so long since I made my grand ambition."
It’s been eleven years, seven months and eighteen days, and I haven’t had a drink in more than ten years.”
Young Master Liu looked at the lonely Zhang Kuang in a daze.
After ten years of drinking water, the body becomes cold, and the blood remains red even if it is not cold.
