Chapter 55
As soon as he heard Hai Liuzi's invitation, Han Yan, who had been hiding aside, immediately jumped out and strongly opposed Liu Yu to go with him. But Liu Yu felt that the other party's arrogant attitude was because he found out his relationship with Li Jingzhong and others. In addition, he wanted to stay in Yuezhou City for a few days and continue to look for Li Jilan. If he really broke his face with the members of the Salt Gang, he might not be in danger, but it would be difficult to continue looking for someone in the city.
Luo Miao and Shi Chaoyi also thought of the special relationship between Liu Yu and Li Jingzhong and others, so they did not object. So, under the leadership of Hai Liuzi, the group walked towards the northwest of Yuezhou City.
The more you go northwest, the fewer the buildings are, but the scale becomes more and more magnificent. Obviously, their owners are all rich people.
When people turned over a tall building with green tiles and flying green, a magpies cries rushed into people's ears. Hai Liuzi also turned his head and said happily to Liuyu, "Young Master 6, you're here in front." He said and pointed forward.
Looking along the direction of Hai Liuzi's finger, I saw a two-story bamboo building appearing not far ahead. A stream flows from the north like a ribbon surrounding it, flowing westward. A wooden bridge is built on the stream without any extra decoration, revealing simplicity and simplicity.
On both sides of the stream, grass with a lot of heights grew, and magpies were clamoring around the grass. Many stone tables and benches were also placed on the grass, as if they were prepared for people's gatherings.
The bamboo building, as the central building, is also the same as the scenery around him, revealing simplicity and simplicity. The whole building is made of bamboo, and there is nothing else. Looking into the building, the building looks empty, with only a man in white sitting by the window on the second floor. Seeing Liu Yu and others walking in, the man quickly stood up and stood at the window and bowed downstairs to the downstairs: "Shanren Li Mi, welcome the 6th Master and all the heroes!"
Seeing that he spoke respectfully, everyone had to bow and return the gift.
After the two sides finished their greetings, Li Mi said loudly again: "Please ask the 6 young masters and several heroes to go upstairs and talk!"
As soon as this said, a commotion suddenly appeared downstairs. The disciples of the Mo Bai family who came out of Mianlong Island were also following Luo Miao at this time, with a total of 100 people. It is obviously impossible for so many people to go upstairs together. So who is the hero, and who is not the hero?
But after a little touch, everyone understood what Li Mi meant. He was the deputy leader of the Salt Gang. In his eyes, among the people present, Luo Miao was probably the only one who could be called a hero?
Among the others, Shi Chaoyi was the victim of this incident, so he naturally had to go upstairs. Han Yan was bored downstairs and was a little worried, so she stuck to 6 feathers and went upstairs.
The remaining 100 disciples from Mianlong Island sat on the stone bench by the stream at the invitation of Hai Liuzi, and were chatting while waiting silently.
Soon, the group of four people followed the stairs to the second floor. Li Mi, dressed in white, was standing by the wooden table beside the window, waiting for them. It seemed that they expected that the number of people going upstairs was average. In addition to the chairs behind Li Mi, four benches were placed around the square table.
In the center of the square table, there is a small stove, and an iron pot sits on it. Water vapor continues to overflow from the spout, and the water in the pot is about to open. Around the stove, there is a set of tea sets including purple clay pots. In front of the five chairs, there are five tea cups straight.
"Please sit down!" Li Mi reached out and invited.
The few of them were not polite and sat down carelessly. Because the host and guest Li Mi invited were 6 Yu, 6 Yu sat in a position facing Li Mi.
Li Mi also sat down, and the water in the pot had already opened. Li Mi carefully picked up the cotton cloth in the center of the table, wrapped the handle of the iron pot, and then lifted it up. Then he lifted the lid of the purple clay pot, shook his wrist, and spiraled the boiling water into the purple clay pot containing green tea. Suddenly, a mellow and fresh tea fragrance came out of the pot, filling the entire room.
Through the water vapor with the tea fragrance, Li Mi smiled at 6 Yu: "6 Gongzi, this is the pearl tea produced in our Yuezhou. I heard that 6 Gongzi has a lot of research on tea. I wonder if brewing this way can be consistent with the characteristics of pearl tea?"
Even you know that I can make tea? It seems that I have put in a lot of effort!
While thinking, 6 Yu looked at Li Mi. Li Mi had a round face, and the outline of his facial features looked very soft. When he smiled, his eyes narrowed into a slit. The long beard under his jaw was combed neatly.
The four men present had excellent appearances, but their styles were different. Luo Miao's appearance showed elegance, Shi Chaoyi was brave, and 6 Yu was tough. Compared with the three of them, Li Mi showed gentleness, and the four words "humble and gentleman" seemed to be prepared for him.
Most gentlemen are well-educated.
I haven't dealt with scholars much yet, so be careful and don't make jokes!
Liu Yu reminded himself in his heart, and then said, "I don't know much about Yuezhou tea, but I think the most important thing about drinking tea is actually the state of mind that you can do whatever you want. Drinking and drinking freely is the most important way, just the second!
Six birds said this sentence with restrained stuttering, but stuttered once.
Li Mi nodded: "Young Master Luo is indeed a master of tea ceremony. These words are quite consistent with Taoist ambitions."
"Oh? Is that right? I can't understand Taoism." Liu Yu said with a smile.
At this time, Li Mi had already poured tea into the cups of several people. Then he raised the tea cup, took a sip naturally, and then said to the people: "Don't be polite, please drink as much as you want if you are thirsty."
Then he put down the teacup and said solemnly: "Let's get to know each other first! In Xia Li Mi, whose ancestral home is Xiangping, Liaodong, he came to Jiangnan for business with his father when he was young. Not long ago, his father passed away, and in Xia Li inherited his property and became the deputy leader of the Salt Gang."
Liu Yu frowned, wondering why Li Mi had to explain his life experience so carefully. But the other party spoke first, and it was difficult for him to hide it, so he briefly introduced his life experience. The other three people also briefly introduced themselves like him.
When the three introduced them, Li Mi just smiled and nodded. But when Shi Chaoyi finished introducing the last introduction, there seemed to be some other meaning in his smile: "Mr. Shi, I think you should introduce it again, right?"
Liu Yu and others were stunned when they heard this, but a trace of cold light appeared in Shi Chaoyi's eyes. When he showed that he had lost his composure and wanted to hide the past, Li Mi's voice sounded next to him: "Or, I'll introduce it to you?"
"What do you mean?" 6 Yu went straight to the point: "You mean, Shi, Brother Shi introduced his identity before, is it fake?" As soon as he was anxious, 6 Yu began to stutter again.
Li Mi smiled slightly. Just as he was about to speak, Shi Chaoyi reached out and stopped him: "No need for you, I will tell you myself." Then he looked at Liu Yu, with a hint of guilt in his solemn gaze.
"My father is Shi Siming."
"He is An Lushan's subordinate."
The room was silent for a moment, and then it was filled with Han Yan's screams: "Is your father An Lushan's deputy general? Is An Lushan, who is the governor of Pinglu Fanyang towns?"
Shi Chaoyi nodded.
"Oh my God! Oh my God!" Han Yan screamed a few times, and then her expression seemed to be frozen, and suddenly frozen. She turned her head slowly, staring at Shi Chaoyi, and asked a question that everyone wanted to know: "Pinglu and Fan Yang are on the Hebei front line. Are you not there to help your father guard the border, what do you want to do when you come here?"
But this time, Shi Chaoyi did not answer her, but turned his eyes to 6 Yu: "Brother 6, I owe you a favor, do you want to know what I am doing here? If you want to know, I can tell you!"
Six Yu didn't know how to answer. Of course, he wanted to know what Shi Chaoyi wanted to do when he came to Jiangnan for thousands of miles, but facing Shi Chaoyi's sincere gaze, he couldn't say it. Finally, he gritted his teeth and waved his hand and said, "I naturally want to know, but if Brother Shi doesn't want to say that, then there is no need to say that, no matter what you are here to do, you are my Six Yu's brother, brother!"
"Thank you 6 brothers!" Shi Chaoyi said loudly, with water surging in his eyes.
Until this moment, Li Mi was still calm and smiled at 6 Yu: "The 6th Master is so kind, but Mr. Shi's purpose is actually easy to guess. In the past two years, An Lushan has repeatedly expanded his power with the reason of strengthening border defense. Even the uncle Yang who was climbing up with the imperial concubine's skirt in the court saw his Sima Zhao's heart. What did Mr. Shi come to Jiangnan at this time? Is it still difficult to guess?"
Then, his expression became solemn: "Sixth Master, this is the reason why I want to detain Mr. Shi. The two deputy generals who followed Mr. Shi had already escaped in the chaos before. The information collected by Mr. Shi is very likely to have been sent back. If Mr. Shi is asked to return, one day if An Lushan really wants to rebel, we will have no trump card!"
"You, what do you mean? Are you asking me for instructions?" 6 Yu was stunned.
Li Mi looked as if he had taken it for granted: "This kind of big thing is naturally the 6th Master is more qualified to decide than me!"
"Okay!" Liu Yu didn't want to investigate the reason, so he said straight to the point: "Give back the Juque Sword to Brother Shi and let him go!"
"Young Master." Li Mi's expression changed slightly, but his tone was calm: "Are you sure? If Mr. Shi really came..."
"No need to say it." Liu Yu shook his head: "Even if it is Shi, Brother Shi is really here to explore An Lushan. What can he do if he can explore Jiangnan? Here we are thousands of miles away from Fanyang, separated by two barriers from the Yellow River and Yangtze River. And between this, there are countless generals and generals guarding him."
"If so many people can't stop the rebels." Liu Yu snorted coldly: "What's the point of catching Brother Shi and not letting go!"
