"Congratulations, Li Quan, Lieutenant Liu!" When he arrived at the table, Li Quan quickly bent down and saluted.

"Happy together." Liu Qi stood up and said.

"I have any congratulations." Li Quan said with an unknown meaning in his eyes, "I have only been promoted from the military officer to the military officer, and Liu Guanren has been promoted to the military officer, so how can he be called the co-loving officer?"

"Oh, are you jealous?" Liu Qi smiled and said, "If you are jealous, come to our army and arrange for you a lieutenant and brigade commander. I guarantee that you will be a good person when you return to Suiye Town next time, you will be a good person, even older than the general of the town."

"Haha." Li Quan couldn't help laughing, and his heart was completely out of grudge. In just a few years, Liu Qi had been promoted from a soldier to a fourth-rank Zhechong Commander, and his official rank was far higher than himself. Not to mention that he knew Liu Qi when he was poor and humble, even if he didn't know someone, as long as he heard about Liu Qi's experience, it would be difficult not to feel jealous.

But when I saw Liu Qi with my own eyes, and when I saw that Liu Qi's attitude towards him still had no change at all, as if he was still equal to him, Li Quan's jealousy completely disappeared. "He has always been consistent with others, no wonder Feng Jiedu likes him."

"My man, come two pots of wine." Liu Qi called the man and said to Li Quan again: "Sit down and stand and do something."

"Then I'll be disrespectful." Li Quan said with a smile and sat down opposite Liu Qi.

"What's the point of "but"?" Liu Qi also sat down again and said: "Today, only discuss friendship, no matter what other things are."

"Since that's the case, I have a very puzzled question to ask: Why did you choose this restaurant to invite me to have a drink? Not to mention the big restaurant, the two restaurants, Leitai and Pat, are of high quality and low price, and are not better than here?" Li Quan was not polite and asked a question that he couldn't understand.

"The reason is very simple." Liu Qi smiled and said, "First of all, I was having wine in Leitai's restaurant in the Weishi period, and I didn't want to go again at night; secondly, I suddenly missed my hometown, and this street reminded me of my hometown again."

Speaking of this, Liu Qi's expression became a little sad. Although his living environment when he was a child was very different from here, for some reason, he felt like his hometown here. Perhaps it was because his family lived similar poor days with the family here when he was a child? Or the groups of children on the street reminded him of his childhood? In short, he would think of his hometown here.

"If you really miss your hometown, you can bring your relatives from your hometown to Anxi." Li Quan didn't know how to comfort him, so he simply gave an idea: "You are already the commander and are a high-powered person in Anxi. Taking your family is enough to make them live a healthy life."

"Or requesting to be transferred back to the Central Plains. It is naturally not easy to transfer back to the Central Plains from Anxi, but if you ask the Fengjieduan, you may be able to transfer back. Naturally, the official position will be lower."

'Can I go to another world to bring my parents? What's the use of your idea for me?' Liu Qi thought to himself. But he couldn't tell the truth to Li Quan, so he could only say: "My parents are relocated, and I'm afraid they don't want to come to Anxi; as for the transfer back to the Central Plains, I think about it again. Feng Dupu may not be willing to let me go back to the Central Plains."

Hearing Liu Qi's last words, Li Quan suddenly thought of something he heard at home and wanted to say to Liu Qi; but he suddenly remembered that his father said that the matter was not yet confirmed, and he was afraid that he would say it wrong, so he swallowed it back.

"Li Quan, what do you want to say to me?" Liu Qi asked when he noticed his expression changes.

"I want to say," Li Quan was scratching his head and thinking. At this time, the store brought the wine and food. Li Quan hurriedly picked up the wine pot and poured wine into the cups of the two, raised the wine glass and said, "I will do it first to toast with you when I eat wine." After that, he drank it all.

"Okay, have a drink first." Liu Qi also raised his glass to drink all the things in the glass.

After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere between the two became more harmonious. They chatted while eating wine and meat.

"Liu Qi, have you heard of it?" Li Quan remembered something and said to him: "The Tubo people have civil strife."

"The Tubo people were in civil turmoil? When did it happen?" Liu Qi asked hurriedly.

"Just like the Tubo Zampchi and Zhudan, which were spread to the past few days, was murdered by Meise and Dongzebu; the two of them colluded with Supi, a country, to rebel." Li Quandao.

"Is it the woman's country recorded in the Book of Sui?" Liu Qi asked.

"It's that country. Although this country regards women as kings and women are superior to men, they have tens of thousands of households, and their strength is quite strong in the Tubo territory. I see that Tubo will be in chaos for a long time." Li Quan said with a smile.

"I don't know if Protector Feng will intervene." Liu Qi said.

"The Jiedushi will definitely intervene. If Tianyu does not take such a good opportunity, the Jiedushi will definitely not waste it. However, he should not directly send troops to help the war, but instead assist the Subi State's food, grass and weapons, or if Subi State is defeated and accepts the officials, soldiers and civilians of its country." Li Quandao.

"It would be great if the Tubo internal chaos lasted for a long time." Liu Qi smiled and said, "When the Tubo Kingdom quelled the rebellion the weakest, the court gathered in Longyou, and the troops from both places in Anxi attacked Tubo, it would definitely damage its vitality."

He didn't say that he would destroy Tubo, although he wanted to achieve this goal. After all, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau was too unfriendly to ordinary people. Even if the Tang Dynasty occupied it, it would have to retreat. It would be great that it could severely damage the Tubo country.

"I hope so." Li Quan also said.

As they were talking, they suddenly heard someone say, "Two officials, the mutton soup is ready, please use it slowly."

"Please let it go." Liu Qi turned his head and looked at it. Seeing that the boss's wife came over in person, she said.

"How can I afford to be the name of Liu Guanren?" the proprietress smiled.

Liu Qi smiled slightly and did not answer. The proprietress carefully placed the bowl of soup on the table and said again: "Please use it slowly," and turned around and left.

"Liu Qi, you can't be so moved when you look at her graceful and graceful." Li Quan smiled and said, "Don't say, you have a good attitude. I have also come to this alley several times in the past few years, and only the hostess in this house is the most beautiful."

"Where?" Liu Qi withdrew his gaze staring at the boss's wife's back and said, "It's just because her elder brother is Bart, he's a little curious. Bart's family is definitely not poor, and he doesn't live here. Why did he marry his sister to the male owner of this family?"

"You can't say it. I'm curious about this and I've also inquired about it. However, the reason I found out was very simple: Su Zhan, the owner of this store, once went to Bart's restaurant for a drink. His sister Rong Niang came out to entertain guests and fell in love with Su Zhan. Although Bart didn't want it, his sister was willing, and she was afraid that her sister would elope with Su Zhan, so she had to agree." Li Quandao.

"It's a coincidence, enough to write a legend." Liu Qi was responding with a smile, and suddenly looked at the counter again.

Li Quan also followed Liu Qi's gaze, with a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth and said, "So that's it. You are not fond of the boss's wife, but your daughter."

"It's not what you said!" Liu Qi said immediately.

"Also quibble." Li Quan smiled and said, "Are you looking at Wen Niang just now?"

"It's true, but..." Liu Qi was interrupted by Li Quan before he finished speaking: "Since you admit it, Is Wen Niang very beautiful?"

"It's not ugly, but..." His words were interrupted by Li Quan again: "Since you admit that she is beautiful, and you admit that you are looking at her just now, are you not fond of her, and are you thinking about what you are thinking?"

"Okay, I'm honest, I'm really appreciating Wen Niang just now, but this is just because everyone loves beauty and simply appreciates it, but it doesn't mean what you said." Liu Qi was forced to say only.

"Don't you just like you?" Li Quan smiled and said, "Is it still quibbling?"

Liu Qi was still struggling to refute, but Li Quan had already talked endlessly. "Wen Niang is really good. She is only twelve years old this year. If calculated based on the actual Turkic years, she is only eleven years old. However, she has a beautiful appearance and a stature that is comparable to her mother. And according to my experience, as long as she eats better, her butt will definitely be round when she becomes an adult in the future, and she should give birth to a child."

"Her parents will definitely be willing to marry your daughter to you, even if you are a concubine. You are already the Zhechong Commander, and your future is limitless. Who is not willing to marry your daughter to you? If I have a sister who is about or a little younger than you, I will definitely marry you. Of course, I can only be the real wife."

"But even so, it would be too early for you to propose marriage now. She is only twelve years old, and a woman's best age is sixteen or seventeen years old. It's better to wait until she's fifteen years old before marrying her. But you can propose marriage first and put people in your arms, in case she is taken advantage of by others."

"I also heard a news. Wen Niang is literate. She not only knows literacy, but also likes to write diaries. And..."

'Whatever you say, you are happy before you even said anything.' Facing Li Quan's endless chatter, Liu Qi was a little amused and cried. He rushed to raise his glass to drink while Li Quan was thirsty and raised his glass to drink, "You don't have to say anything anymore. I don't mean to take her as a concubine now. However," he paused and said again, "Wen Niang actually knows literacy? Still likes to write diaries?"

Liu Qi was very curious about this. Why did a small shop owner's daughter recognize words when she was very low in literacy? Where did she get the money to buy ink and paper to write a diary?

"I heard that there was a teacher here. Su Zhan sent his son to study. There were few guests who ate during the day, and Wen Niang didn't stay in her restaurant. She occasionally came to play outside the teaching house and waited for her brother to go home together. Because she saw that she was just a little girl and only occasionally looked outside, the teacher didn't care. But she didn't expect that Wen Niang had learned hundreds of words and was able to see the official letter."

"As for paper, she has a relative who works as a partner in a local papermaking workshop. Occasionally, there is almost no use. She brings the paper back to her after making it. She cuts the charcoal very finely and writes on it, without any need for pen and ink."
