Chapter 68 The Jade Face Scholar
The quiet Taohua Village is really quiet, so quiet that there is no sound.
"It seems that people here do not welcome us to visit, they all hid, and there was no barking of chickens, ducks and dogs. They are so well-trained!"
Li Li stood at the fork in the field road with a smile on his lips. Seeing the doors of several families in the front row closed and silent, he couldn't help but say to Dian Wei and others mockingly.
"Lord, don't worry, wait for someone to smash the door. If they don't come out yet, the family will take them out one by one!"
When Dian Wei saw the lord seemingly unhappy, he immediately took two steps forward, said to Li Li in a deep voice, and then strode towards the nearest farmhouse.
Li Li quickly caught up with Dian Wei and reached out to hold him, "There is no need to be like this when you come. We are just a newcomer, so these farmers will naturally be wary of it. Never be reckless. You should retreat and wait for me to knock on the door."
"What a lord's identity? Dian will do this. Please rest assured, lord, I won't smash the door. Just... uh, knock on the door."
Since having a dereliction of duty in Maple Leaf Canyon, Dian Wei has now respected Li Li more and more.
This is his sincere respect, not his initial attempt to commit the bet and he has no choice but to be effective.
"Bang,bang,bang!"
Seeing Dian Wei going to "knock on the door", Li Li rolled his eyes and shook his head helplessly with a wry smile.
Then he insinuated, "Come on evil, are you knocking on the door? This sound can be heard by everyone in the village, it is clearly a smashing door!"
"Bang!"
"Squeak~~~!"
Just as Dian Weihan smashed the door angrily, the door next door creaked and a man in his twenties walked out of it.
In an instant, Li Li's eyes lit up, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes. What he admired was not the courage of the young man, but the man's good looks.
But I saw a man coming with a graceful man, nearly eight feet tall, moderate in size, clear eyebrows, deep eyes, and infinite wisdom; his nose bridge is high and straight, his lips are red and his teeth are white, and his jaw is left with a small thigh of black beard, his skin is white, and his face is rosy.
He really looks like a jade-like face, and he has the good looks of a graceful scholar.
The young man had a faint smile on his face. Facing Dian Wei's shocked black face, he still smiled and walked towards Li Li without any haste.
"This general is polite. The grass polite Li Xuan, whose courtesy name is Yuanzhong, has met the general."
"Oh? Coincidentally, the gentleman's surname is Li, and he is a family with me. Li Li, whose courtesy name is Wenchang, has met Mr. Hehehe!"
Li Li noticed that the man who claimed to be Li Xuan had a clear look, like a deep pool, unfathomable. This man could tell at a glance that he was a man who fought on the battlefield and was also the leader of the group, and he was very familiar with others.
With this keen observation alone, Li Li has a good impression of Li Xuandun, and this person has a good appearance, which makes it easy for people to approach.
"The general is Li Li, the newly appointed prefect of Wuwei? No wonder when he first met the general, he felt a heroic spirit coming towards him. It turned out that Prefect Li was visiting the village, and he was very lucky!"
Li Xuan's words sound really nice. Although he was complimenting Li Li, he did not show any contemptuous look, but instead looked righteous and was very helpful.
Li Li listened very comfortably and said with a smile: "Brother Yuanzhong is too good. Li is a martial artist and dare not regard himself as a hero. Today, he led his army by passing by the treasure land and accidentally discovered this valley. He stayed in Guicun for a while and left on his own until tomorrow. If there is any abruptness, I hope Brother Yuanzhong will convey Li's apology to his neighbors. Li thanked Mr. first!"
After Li Li finished speaking, he bowed slightly.
But Li Xuan instantly reached out and held Li Li's hands, "Pretty Li is polite, how dare Caomin accept the rituals of the prefect? If Li Taishou does not abandon it, it would be better to move to the humble house to talk. Caomin consciously get along with the prefect at the first sight, and wait for me to cook some tea, and let me talk about it?"
"Well, that's great! Thank you Brother Yuanzhong for your kindness, so Li refused to be disrespectful. Brother Yuanzhong asked."
Li Li smiled heartily, nodded and answered Li Xuan's invitation, then raised his hand to signal Li Xuan to go first.
"Hahaha! Before Caomin left, he led the way for Prefect Li, and the prefect asked him to."
Li Xuan could see that Li Li's expression was not like a fake, with clear eyes, kind tone and sincere smile. He immediately led Li Li into his house with a loud laugh.
Almost all residents of Taohua Village build the same house. In front is a five-foot-high soil wall and a main entrance. After entering the yard, there are three thatched cottages and two wing rooms on both sides. They face north and south, with two dragons connected by the ears. They should have been specially guided by Feng Shui Master, and the layout is just right. Although it is a farmhouse, the layout of the house exudes a simple and natural atmosphere, giving people a sense of open mind and comfortableness.
Walking into the lobby, next to a desk, Li Li and Li Xuan sat opposite each other.
On the table, a pot of tea with a fragrant and hot smell seemed to have just been cooked, and it was time to drink it.
"Who else is there in Brother Yuanzhong's family? Why don't you invite Li to show her to thank him in person? Otherwise, how dare Li drink this tea?"
Li Li looked at the lobby casually and said with a smile.
"Uh?" Li Xuan was shocked when he heard this. When he was about to speak, he accidentally saw the reflective bronze mirror in the room on the left and a lace hairpin hanging on the frame.
In an instant, a trace of worry flashed across Li Xuan's face, but he covered it up very well and would not be noticed easily.
However, Li Li discovered the strange look that flashed on Li Xuan's face, "Brother Yuanzhong, is there something inconvenient? It was the tea cooked by his sister-in-law just now? If that's true, Brother Yuanzhong doesn't have to make things difficult. I just said it casually and gave up."
Li Xuan smiled and said as usual: "Hahaha! Grandpa Li misunderstood that Caomin has not yet married, so how could he have any sister-in-law? This tea was cooked before I just left the house. The inner room is my sister's dormitory, but she went to her grandmother's house early this morning and has not returned yet. For the rudeness, please don't want to be as good as Caomin. Come, the Grandpa Li asks you to drink this tea and see how it tastes."
"Master, wait!"
Just as Li Li picked up the tea cup and drank tea, Dian Wei suddenly took a step forward and then took out a silver needle.
Li Li was slightly stunned and waved his hand to stop Dian Wei Yin's needle test, and said with a smile: "I'm worried about evil, Brother Yuanzhong will not harm me. Haha, come on, I'll drink with Yuanzhong!"
Li Xuan looked at Li Li with a smile, then looked at Dian Wei, who was as majestic as an iron tower, then smiled heartily and drank tea with Li Li.
"Good tea! The tea is clear and green with a hint of grass. It is refreshing and refreshing. After drinking it, it is like a warm current that penetrates into the heart, making people feel comfortable and keeps their mouths fragrant. Brother Yuanzhong, such good tea is rare, I am really a blessed person!"
After drinking a sip of tea, Li Li suddenly shook his expression, he savored for a moment, and said in amazement.
Li Xuan smiled indifferently, looked at Li Li's eyes and said meaningfully: "Prince Li has been too rewarded. He is just a cup of wild tea in the countryside. He can't deserve such praise. However, good tea still needs to understand tea. Only those who love tea can taste it. What does Li think?"
"Oh? Brother Li seems to have something else to say. I am a martial artist. I am a dull man by nature. Please tell me clearly."
Li Li looked at Li Xuan softly and smiled honestly. A hint of joy appeared between his eyebrows, and flashed away.
Li Xuan looked at Li Li's smile, breathed a sigh of relief, and said seriously: "Since the first year of Zhongping, Liangzhou has been in chaos and the princes have been in chaos. It has been seven years since the beginning of the first year of Zhongping. In the past seven years, the entire Liangzhou has suffered from life and was full of people. The population has dropped sharply. If this continues, our Liangzhou will be completely destroyed, and it will no longer be the prosperity of the Qin and Han dynasties, and will become a place where barbarians are rampant.
I, Li Xuan, have the intention to help the wise ruler to calm the troubled times, but I don’t know where the wise ruler is and when will I come to invite you in person. Today, when I and Prefect Li both fell into the same state at first sight, I saw the magnificent prefect, with steady and wise words and deeds. There is a faint look of dragon-like stance in every move. I should be the hero of the chaotic times and the hidden dragon among people!
Li knew the celestial phenomena and had some problems with the art of identifying people. He believed that his eyes would not misjudgment people. Moreover, in March this year, the stars suddenly changed, and the stars were full of stars. However, a tiger evil star suddenly changed into a Ziwei star, moving from east to west, staying in the sky over Liangzhou half a month ago, and has not changed yet. I wonder if the general had heard of this?"
Li Li's face suddenly changed, his expression changed in a dizzy and sunny manner. His tiger eyes were staring at Li Xuan, and his breathing became rapid.
