A knife in love

Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng nodded, and said in a deep voice: "That's right. I have dealt with many Fusang people, and it is true that, as the old man said, these Fusang people are sinister and cunning. Good man, so I despise these guys at all in my heart."

When Li Qiufeng said this, he paused for a moment, and then he continued: "Although I look down on Fusang people, I have never underestimated these guys. Fusang people are cruel, they only want small profits in front of them, and they will not hesitate to take risks for some benefits. Because things are often unexpected, you can't understand them with common sense. If you want to reason with them, you have to suffer a big loss. However, Fusang people act despicably and seem to have taken advantage of it, but if they go on like this, they will definitely offend the world. Clean and tidy, when the time comes, everyone will join hands to deal with the Fusang people, I am afraid that the Fusang people will be in danger of subjugating the country and extinction!"

Hearing what Li Qiufeng said, the old man in gray nodded his head, and said in his mouth: "It's true that a hero sees the same thing. You and this old man think the same. The reason why this old man wants to marry you is because you have extraordinary knowledge. If you can join forces with the old man, why worry about a big event?!"

When Li Qiufeng heard the old man in gray say the word "big matter" again, his heart shuddered, and he thought to himself that this old guy mentioned "big matter" many times, but he didn't explain it in detail, and he didn't know what the so-called "big matter" was.If this old guy overestimates his own strength, and thinks like Liu Sheng Zongyan, an old thief, delusional to overthrow Daming and seize the Central Plains, hmph, I will take his head, it's as easy as picking something out of a pocket!
When Li Qiufeng was thinking, the gray-clothed old man was about to continue talking, but when he heard footsteps behind him, he stopped immediately and fell silent for a moment.Li Qiufeng looked intently, but it was the two people who had just carried the wooden table back and forth. One of them was holding a black lacquer plate with both hands, and there was an exquisite teapot on it, and two crystal clear teacups.Although Li Qiufeng is not proficient in tea ceremony, after all, he has worked in the palace for many years. When he saw the teapot and cup on the black lacquer plate, he immediately knew that the three things were all extraordinary, and he was secretly surprised.The other person held a white porcelain kettle in his right hand, followed the person holding the black lacquer plate, and walked over quickly.

Before the blink of an eye, the two passed the four sword-wielding masters and came to a distance of ten feet behind the gray-clothed old man. Then they stopped. Although they didn't speak, they looked very respectful. They bowed slightly, as if they were waiting for the gray-clothed old man to give orders.Seeing the old man in gray wave his right hand lightly, the two quickly walked to the right of the table, first bowed to the old man in gray, and then one of them put the black lacquer plate in his hand on the wooden table, and put it on the wooden table. The two teacups on the lacquer tray were placed in front of Li Qiufeng and the gray-clothed old man, and then he carefully took off the lid of the teapot, and then took a step back.The man carrying the kettle took two steps forward, holding the handle of the kettle with his left hand, holding the bottom of the kettle with his right hand, aiming the spout of the kettle at the teacup in front of the old man in gray, and was about to pour hot water into the teacup. The old man's face darkened, he shook his head, and said: "The honored guest is here, how can I pour tea for the old man first?! This is not the Songshan family's way of hospitality!"

When the gray-clothed old man spoke, his voice was not harsh, but it implied great power.The face of the man carrying the kettle changed drastically, he hastily made a confession, moved the kettle away hastily, and aimed the spout at the teacup in front of Li Qiufeng, after a while, green tea flowed from the spout, straight to the cup poured down.

As soon as the tea flowed out, Li Qiufeng smelled a faint fragrance, and thought to himself that the fragrance of the tea is light but not strong, diffuse but not cloudy, it is indeed a rare good tea.It's just that the color of the water is weird, and I don't know if it was poisoned.Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng secretly guarded in his heart, glanced at the teacup with his eyes, but did not pick up the teacup to taste.

After the man filled the teacup in front of Li Qiufeng, he also filled the teacup of the old man in gray, and then he bowed and stepped back, standing side by side with the man holding the black lacquer plate, in case the old man in gray greeted him. .The gray-clothed old man didn't even look at the two of them, smiled slightly at Li Qiufeng, and said in his mouth: "The Fusang country is a barren land, and there has never been any good tea. There is only a valley between the Liangyue Mountains in the extreme north, where four plants grow. Tea trees can only pick two or three new leaves each year, which can barely be called good tea. The old man was lucky to receive a bamboo tree from a nobleman, and he regards it as a treasure. Whenever he travels, he must take some with him. How lucky is it to have a drink with Your Excellency today?"

After the old man in gray finished speaking, he stretched out his hands, as if he wanted to hold up the teacup, and offered tea to Li Qiufeng.Li Qiufeng hurriedly said: "I don't know something, I wonder if the old man can solve the doubt in my heart?"

Hearing what Li Qiufeng said, the old man in gray slowly retracted his outstretched hands, glanced at Li Qiufeng, and said in his mouth: "This old man is devoted to befriending you, so naturally I will not hide anything from you. If you have something to do If you ask, the old man will know everything and say everything.”

Li Qiufeng said in a deep voice: "Thank you, old man. We met on Songtian Rock Island before. If I guessed right, the old man should be a big shot in the Songtian family. Otherwise, how could he run amok in Songtian Rock Island and drive his subordinates to openly arrest people? But Just now, the old man mentioned the Songshan family’s way of hospitality, which made me puzzled. Could it be that the old man is not the head of the Songtian family, but his surname is Songshan?”

After hearing what Li Qiufeng said, the old man in gray smiled slightly and said, "Your Excellency did not guess wrong. The old man is indeed from the Songtian family, but the old man is not a member of the Songtian clan, but a disciple of the Songtian family. There are the four sons of the Warring States Period who are famous all over the country. There are many disciples in the mansion, and most of them are masters of strange arts. These disciples have helped the four sons of the Warring States period to become famous. Their contribution is indispensable. If it were not for the help of these disciples, Mr. Pingyuan would have died, and Mr. Xinling He also couldn't command the Wei army to rescue Zhao and defeat the strong Qin. This old man is stupid, so he naturally dare not stand shoulder to shoulder with the sages, but he wholeheartedly admires the demeanor of the ancient chivalrous men, and wants to imitate the appearance of these sages and create a vigorous career. It's just that the old man Living in seclusion in the Fusang country, I despise the Fusang people, disdain to give advice to the Fusang people, and only want to return to China one day, and be able to show what I have learned in my life, so that I can be regarded as not dishonoring my ancestors!"

The gray-clothed old man paused for a while when he said this, and then continued: "It's just a long story, and it can't be explained clearly in a few words. The old man has been searching for your trail so hard that he intends to have a good talk with you. It is the best thing to be able to win the trust of your Excellency. When you and I join hands, why not worry about the big thing? When you are done, it will not be difficult for you to seal the king in Fusang. If you have no intention of seeking hegemony , the rare treasures on the Fusang Islands, gold, silver and jade, and even beauties and maidens, let you use it, wouldn't it be beautiful?!"
