A delicate and refined maid put the green tea leaves into the teapot. With her small and slender hands as white as jade, she poured the green tea leaves into the boiling water with a flick of her wrist.
After filtering out the first turbid water, the clean spring water was re-injected until the water vapor was boiling, and then the tea was poured into the three teacups on the table one by one.
The elegant posture is pleasing to the eye, and the heat of brewing tea is just right.
Unexpectedly, after Yang Fan had just told the story once, this maid would be able to master the skill of making tea. Even Yang Fan had to be inferior in this skill of making tea.
Professional things really need to be done by professionals!
Looking at the empty tea on the table, Niu Jinda and Han Wei's eyes widened.
Just now Yang Fan told them that they were not used to drinking tea soup and that they should cook it according to his method, but this thing as clear as water was too perfunctory!
In their opinion, it would be better to drink a ladle of cold water.
Too lazy to pay attention to these two big guys, Yang Fan directly picked up the tea in front of him and tasted it carefully.
I blew lightly on my mouth and drank up the tea. The aroma of the tea stimulated my taste buds and suppressed the heat brought by the hot summer.
Slowly putting down the tea cup, Yang Fan raised his hand and said: "Two generals, please feel free to do so. This tea is a certain person's original creation. It's called Longjing tea. It has the effects of refreshing the mind, relieving heat and relieving summer heat. Try it!"
As he spoke, Yang Fan leaned back leisurely as if he were at home, enjoying the cool breeze fanned by the maid next to him.
Unable to help Yang Fan's face, Niu Jinda and Han Wei had no choice but to pick up the teacups in front of them with a grimace.
Well, the aroma of tea was so fragrant that the two of them were attracted.
I didn't expect that such a simple method of making tea can actually combine the natural tea aroma with spring water.
With a slurping sound, the tea was gulped down like a raptor sucking water.
A warmth passed through the throat, making people sweat a little, but when the tea entered the stomach, a sense of freshness came, and the heat in the whole body suddenly dropped a lot.
The two looked at each other, but they didn't expect that the tea could really have such effects.
Niu Jinda shouted directly: "It's great, let's have another drink!"
This voice almost scared the maid who was making tea and broke the teapot.
He looked full of energy and it was obvious that his injury was almost healed!
Han Wei closed his eyes and thought about it for a while, then put down the tea cup and sighed: "Marquis Zhongyi is really extraordinary. The seemingly simple tea can make people linger and leave the fragrance on their lips and teeth. No wonder the Tibetan army can be conquered in just a few seconds."
It was wiped out in ashes, and I admire you."
"Yes, I, Lao Niu, have never admired anyone in my life. Marquis Zhongyi is the first one. He really is a hero in his youth. He really resolves his hatred and finally avenged our brothers in the vanguard camp." Niu Jinda raised his head and agreed.
Although Niu Jinda's injury is almost healed, the more than a thousand forward battalion soldiers who lost their lives will never come back!
Yang Fan sat upright and said with a wry smile: "The two generals are overrated. It was really lucky that they were able to annihilate the main force of Tibet this time. I am still a little scared when I think about it now!"
"Besides, the revenge of the brothers in the forward battalion can only be said to be half avenged. The culprit has not been found yet."
Han Wei frowned and asked, "What does Marquis Zhongyi mean?"
Yang Fan picked up the tea cup again and took a sip, and then slowly said: "The spies inside the Tang Army have not been found yet, so of course it can only be considered as half of the revenge."
"What are you talking about? There is really a spy in the Tang army. Who is it?" Niu Jin stood up with a loud voice, slapped the table with his hand, and shouted angrily.
Han Wei also looked furious.
Obviously, as soon as Yang Fan said that person's name, the two of them would go and fight for it.
Yang Fan pressed down with his hand: "Two generals, please be patient. Although they know that there is a traitor in the Tang Army, there is no evidence to identify who it is. According to Songtsan Gampo's confession, the spy of the Tang Army only had correspondence with them.
, and did not leave a name.”
Although Yang Fan had a suspect, he did not dare to act rashly until there was definite evidence.
If it was really the person he suspected, it could be said that his influence could affect the whole body, possibly causing turmoil in the court.
Gu Yi
"This kind of traitor is really hateful. Don't let me, Lao Niu, find out. Once found, I'll see if I don't skin him!" Niu Jinda gritted his teeth in anger.
Yang Fan's face became solemn and he said seriously: "Don't worry, two generals, I will definitely seek justice for the soldiers who died unjustly. I came here this time just to discuss with the two generals how to find the spies."
After a pause, Yang Fan continued: "Songtsen Gampo has been captured alive. The spies inside the Tang Army will definitely be anxious and take risks if they know about it."
"What Marquis Zhongyi means is that the spy will kill Songtsen Gampo to silence him?" Niu Dajin looked at each other, looking a little incredulous.
Even though Songtsen Gampo was in a cell, he was guarded 24 hours a day. Who dared to be so bold as to silence him?
Yang Fan nodded: "What I am worried about is that once the spy knows that Songtsen Gampo cannot be killed, he will definitely turn the spear against the two generals; if something happens to all three of us, naturally no one will pursue the spy anymore.
Therefore, the main purpose is to remind the two generals to be more careful when traveling and not to allow the enemy to take advantage of them."
"Don't worry, Marquis Zhongyi, we will be more careful in the future. If the spy dares to attack, he will never come back." Niu Jinda and Han Wei promised with red eyes.
It is easy to dodge an open gun but hard to guard against a hidden arrow. Just when Yang Fan was about to say something more, Wang Xiaojie ran in and complained:
"General, the inspectors came to Songzhou City. It is said that they were ordered by the commander to investigate and count the elimination of the main Tibetan forces, and to verify the identity of Songtsen Gampo..."
Before he finished speaking, Niu Jinda's eyes widened and he said angrily: "Hou Junji is so ungrateful that he still investigates and counts. Do you really think we will randomly report military achievements? Huh, if there is no news about His Highness King Wu, that round
Got him rampant."
Yang Fan chuckled and waved his hand nonchalantly: "The pure ones will become clear themselves, and the turbid ones will become turbid. Don't let your anger break your body."
As he said that, he turned around and asked, "Who is this inspection envoy?"
"Chang Sun Chong!" Wang Xiaojie quickly answered with his fists clasped.
oh?
A thoughtful expression appeared in the corner of Yang Fan's eyes.
It's really unexpected for this guy to come here at this moment.
Following Wang Xiaojie to the gate of the Zuoying garrison, Yang Fan saw Chang Sun Chong as the inspector at a glance, followed by several miserable soldiers.
It's just that the situation of Changsun Chong and the others didn't seem to be very good. Not only did they look disgraced, but the Zuoying soldiers didn't ask them to go in for repairs.
In the eyes of the soldiers, this guy was deliberately looking for trouble.
After all, they were fighting the enemy bravely at the front, and this guy actually suspected that they had lied about their military exploits. It was strange that they could look good on their eldest grandson.
The soldiers could shake their faces, but Yang Fan, the chief officer, could not. Seeing Zhang Sun Chong's sloppy appearance, Yang Fan secretly smiled in his heart.
Changsun Chong usually looks like a handsome and elegant man. He is simply a arrogant little public servant. I didn't expect him to be like this!
Obviously, I suffered a lot this time. After all, the entire road was blocked by the Tibetan army. These people must have climbed over the mountains and ridges to take a sneak peek.
Holding back the smile in his heart, Yang Fan pretended to be surprised: "Oh, I didn't expect the eldest son-in-law to come to inspect. Please forgive me for being negligent. These soldiers were so blind that they didn't recognize the eldest son-in-law.
, I will definitely teach them a lesson later and make them so blind that they don’t even recognize the noble prince-in-law, what kind of behavior is that?”
This pretentious look almost made Changsun Chong so angry that he vomited blood.
Wouldn't these big soldiers recognize him?
I think they trained together for more than a month when we were supervising operations.
Moreover, I was once the commander of the marching force, and there was no soldier who dared not recognize the commander. It was obvious that the soldiers were deliberately making things difficult for him.
However, no matter how angry Changsun Chong was, he did not dare to throw away his burden. He could only squeeze out a smile and said: "The envoy came suddenly. It is understandable that they did not recognize it. Besides, it was during the war.
, it doesn’t hurt to be careful.”
Yang Fan smiled brightly: "The broad-mindedness of the eldest grandson's consort makes me really ashamed and admire him. He is indeed the leader of the younger generation in Chang'an City. He is not as good as many."
Changsun Chong was so angry that his teeth itched, this guy was so bad.
You have a broad heart, sister!
If the strong dragon hadn't suppressed the local snake, he would have gone crazy long ago.
