Li Xiu ate another blue shrimp, wiped his hands in an orderly manner, got up and bowed to the princess again, turned around and left.

"You've seen the snow for fourteen years?"

Mrs. Li asked suddenly.

Li Xiu did not answer and left on his own. Old Qiao looked at her deeply and followed Li Xiu hunched over.

"It turned out to be Tingxue Tower."

Qi Liu reached out and pinched the silver beads on the table into powder, and looked at a lake of white fish with cold eyes.

Under the command of the old housekeeper, the servants of the royal family went to the lake to catch fish in fear. They couldn't understand why so many koi died after just having a meal with His Royal Highness?

Besides, if the koi dies, there will naturally be no brocade, and only carp will be left.

......

"Young Master, you're full."

After leaving Chaoyue Pavilion and walking out of the royal palace, Li Xiu and the others walked on the green bricks of Chang'an Street, Lao Qiao said.

"No matter how seriously I am sick, I am a man after all."

He stopped at a stall casually, took out the money and bought a few buns, and took a bite and said.

Men usually have a big appetite. How can a mere two blue shrimps with a length, thickness, and thin index fingers fill their appetite?

“Where are you going?”

Li Xiu did not answer, ate all the buns on his own, subconsciously sucked his fingers, and stood in front of a teahouse.

"I don't know if I can live for a month, so I can't come to Chang'an once in vain."

As he said that, he glanced at the dark clouds in the sky, and a sarcasm appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Besides, do you think the officials in the court really care about me, the prince? What they care about is Anzhi's attitude, the attitude of the academy, the attitude of the border army, and the attitude of His Majesty."

"What are you going to do?"

Lao Qiao continued to ask.

Li Xiu looked at the plaque of the teahouse, Yunlai Teahouse, with a very nice name and four beautiful big characters.

The teahouse is in the center of this street, and this is still a prime location. Not to mention the crowds, it is at least full. However, there is no one in the teahouse now, and a faint tea fragrance wafts out at the door.

He stepped in.

"I want to kill someone."

Lao Qiao followed behind him, silent.

"Sorry, the shop will be closed today and will not pick up customers."

As soon as the two of them entered, a little brother in a commoner came up and said apologetically.

"I'll have a cup of tea and leave after I finish drinking."

Li Xiu looked for a table and sat down. Old Qiao closed the door and stood behind him as usual.

"Customer, this store has a lot to deal with. You might as well go to Taibai Building next door, which is recognized as the best place for Chang'an."

Seeing him sitting down, the little brother said anxiously.

"It's just a thirst quenching, and drinking too good tea is a waste."

Li Xiu reached out and poured a cup for himself. This tea is good, it should be the newly picked Biluochun from Meiling.

"Kobayashi, since this young man is thirsty, just let him drink a drink."

Just when the second brother was about to stop him, an old man in gray robe lifted the curtain from behind the counter and walked out.

"Yes, the shopkeeper."

The little brother responded and looked at Li Xiu and the others in anger, feeling that the master and servant really don’t know how to be human, so how could he know that they still have to break in even though they closed?

"I would like to ask you to go to Taibailou to bring me a pot of braised knife."

Li Xiu took out a silver note from his sleeve and put it in his second brother's hand, and said with a smile.

He looked back at the shopkeeper, hesitant, not knowing whether he should go.

The old man in gray robe nodded slightly.

"Okay, please wait a moment, and you'll go back if you want to go."

The waiter held the silver note and pushed open the wooden door, his body shook in the cold wind, and then bent down and ran straight to Taibai Tower.

The wooden door is closed, and the teahouse is very quiet.

"Why are old friends coming to visit, won't the shopkeeper come and sit?"

Li Xiu picked up another teacup, placed it on the other side of the table, and then poured the tea.

The old man in gray robe looked at him with complicated eyes. After a moment, he took a step and sat opposite him, picked up the teacup and drank it all.

"Biluochun tastes cool, sweet and moisturized. Drinking one-third of the cup is the best. If you drink it like Master Liu, it is a rare taste. How about drinking it again?"

Li Xiu picked up the teapot and poured a cup for him, and said lightly.

The old man in gray robe looked at him with a expressionless face, then picked up the teacup and drank it all again.

Li Xiu sighed.

"There are only tea and wine in the world that cannot be let down. If it were me, even if the butcher's knife hangs its neck, it would not have let down such good tea. Since Master Liu opened this teahouse, he must be a tea lover."

He picked up the teapot and filled the third cup.

"Is the prince coming down to invite Lao Liu to taste tea?"

Li Xiu didn't say anything, and reached out to make a gesture of asking for help.

The old man in gray robe looked at him and finally picked up the teacup, took a sip, and the tea flowed between his lips and teeth, passed through his throat, and then swallowed it.

He did not say good tea, nor did he show his intoxicating beauty.

Suddenly, the sound of singing opera sounded, which was the sound from the Shangren not far away.

Old Qiao closed his eyes and felt that the song was so beautiful that he could not hear such a song in a place like Xuelou.

"In the 46th year of the Tang Dynasty, Liu Zhengwei was just an ordinary soldier. He followed the border army to station in Luoyan Gorge. He was ambushed by Changlin's alien race. The whole team was 216 people, and 215 people were killed in battle. Liu Zhengwei was captured. Li Laizhi personally led his army to chase the enemy for 4,327 miles, and all Changlin destroyed Changlin and rescued Liu Zhengwei."

Li Xiu placed the tea set among the two, and the tea was rendered with tea cups. The sound of the water was mixed with a slap in the air, which had a unique flavor.

His tone was very cold.

Those eyes were even colder.

"In the 47th year of the Tang Dynasty, the snow land wolf cavalry was surging and stormed. They captured our 13 cities of the Tang Dynasty overnight, killing and wounding more than 140,000 people. The troops suppressed Xuzhou City. The city lord Fan Wugui fought for half a month without taking a step back. The soldiers of Xuzhou were killed in battle. After that, Xue Hongyi alone rushed into the Snow Clan Palace, and the red sword dyed the red clothes, and the realm fell to the fifth realm."

"Li Laizhi led his army deep into the snowfield, and fought for 64 days to resolve the danger in Xuzhou. If I remember correctly, Liu Jiaowei was also in Xuzhou that day."

He bounced the wall of the cup with his finger and let out a soft moan.

"In the 490th year of the Tang Dynasty, Qishan mutiny, and 340,000 local troops in Qishan County killed each other. It was Li Laizhi who sent his confidant to gallop 120,000 miles to Qishan day and night to protect all the families of the border troops from Qishan. At that time, the two elders of Liu Xiaowei were also in Qishan County, right?"

The teahouse was so quiet that there was nothing else except the sound of Li Xiu wiping the tea cup, and even the sound of breathing seemed to disappear.

There were snowflakes floating in the sky this day. They were not big, but they were always floating and refused to stop.

I think the waiter who came to the shop should have arrived at Taibai Building at this moment, and he should have had half a pot of braised knife in it.

The old man with gray robe had thin hands, and his busyness over the years made his hair gray. Perhaps because he had been immersed in the city for too long, his eyes were turbid and dim.

Some of the water from the teacup spilled out, spilled onto the table. His hands were trembling, his eyes were covered in blood, and he was panting quickly, but he still didn't say a word.

Li Xiu smiled, took out a short knife from his arms, picked up a rag to wet Biluochun, and wiped the blade.

"Whether it is public or private, Li Laizhi has never let anyone down."

He wiped the dagger clean with a towel and spotlessly, and then placed it on the table.

"Since that's the case, why did Captain Liu betray him?"

Li Xiu pushed the dagger to the old man in gray robe. The snowflakes in Chang'an gradually grew bigger, covering the doors and windows of the teahouse. The dagger was a little dim. He stared at his face and said calmly.

His tone was not loud, roared, or questioned. The terrible calm was like falling down the sky, making people unable to avoid it.

"Just for one hundred thousand taels of silver?"

Li Xiu stretched out a hand, and Lao Qiao took out a hundred thousand taels of silver notes from his body and put them in his palm.

He put the silver notes on the table, pushed them to the side of the dagger, and pushed them to the old man in the gray robe, and then said, "I will pay 100,000 taels to buy your life."
