People in Terra, poor and weak but invincible

Chapter 841: Sleeping in the Clouds, a Cup of Wine to Repel Natural Disasters

In front of the slightly shabby gate of the Liang Mansion, Liang Xun and Ning Ci Qiu whispered to each other for a while, and Ning Ci Qiu said goodbye with some reluctance.

Seeing that it was late at night, Liang Xun did not try to persuade Ning Ci Qiu to stay, but ordered Master Shen to accompany and escort Ning Ci Qiu back home.

He faced Lao Li's resentful gaze and took the other person into his mansion.

When the two of them walked into the house, Lao Li immediately couldn't control the sourness in his heart and said in a sarcastic tone:

"Ms. Ning, thank you for coming here today to tell me about Qi Yan's news. Thank you for taking the trouble to travel all the way. I will definitely come to thank you in the future."

Liang Xun pursed his lips and said nothing.

The old carp took advantage of Liang Xun and circled around him, jokingly saying:

"How is Lord Liang going to thank you? Go sightseeing, listen to books or watch a play? I don't know if this counts as official business, and whether it can be reimbursed?"

Liang Xun asked with a wooden face: "Have you drunk too much?"

"Maybe." Lao Li shrugged, "Maybe it's not the tea that makes people drunk, but people who are drunk themselves."

Liang Xun ignored Lao Li, walked to the chair in the house, sat down, picked up the teapot and poured himself a glass of water.

Seeing this, Lao Li couldn't help but twitch his mouth:

"Haven't you had enough?"

"got used to."

Liang Xun held the teacup and played with it between his fingertips, showing no intention of drinking it.

Lao Li also walked over and sat next to Liang Xun. He took out a box containing wine cups from his arms and threw it on the table.

"You should think of a way to deal with this hot potato." He said dissatisfiedly, "You are really my good brother. I guessed that it must be troublesome for you to contact me suddenly after not seeing me for many years, but I didn't expect you to prepare such a big surprise for me!

This involves a part of the consciousness of the Sui Beast Agent, and Qi Yan is also involved. This major event may be able to open a separate page in the history of Da Yan!"

"How many people wish to leave their names in history," Liang Xun said calmly.

"This opportunity is for you, do you want it?"

"Do you think it's a question of whether I want it or not now?"

At this point, the two fell silent.

After a moment, Liang Xun spoke again: "In fact, it was not me who chose you, but Duke Wei of Longmen who recommended you. It just so happened that I really needed a trustworthy helper... I mean, I'm sorry."

"Ok?"

Lao Li suddenly heard the apology he asked for, but he felt uncomfortable: "Don't be so mean to me."

Liang Xun still had his poker face:

"I really didn't expect things to develop to this extent. Initially, I just didn't want the wine cup to fall into the hands of Simuitai, so I wanted to introduce a variable to find a way out."

"What exactly are you trying to protect?" Old Li was puzzled. "What else does this wine cup involve?"

Facing Lao Li's question, Liang Xun did not give a direct answer:

"Shang Shu hasn't experienced a natural disaster for a long time, but my memory of it is particularly profound."

Lao Li:?

"I was just a child at that time, and I was young and ignorant. One day, I was suddenly carried on the backs of my family members and fled in panic."

Liang Xun recounted his childhood experiences: "In the chaos, I only remember the adults talking about how a natural disaster had come, and it came without any signs, and even the heavenly masters had not anticipated it in time."

Lao Li looked confused: "So what?"

"That natural disaster didn't cause much damage. It came quickly and went away even faster. The only impact was that the eighteen peaks of the three mountains of Shangshu were reduced to seventeen peaks."

Lao Li:? ?

"That year, I saw a man on the back of an adult at home."

Lao Li: ???

"That person was a woman, lying drunk in a pavilion on the top of the mountain. Facing the raging natural disaster, she was inspired to write poetry, and sang while drinking. She was really drunk."

Liang Xun said with reminiscence in his eyes and respect in his tone, "After a good time, the woman threw the wine cup in her hand and smashed the natural disaster.

But later I asked other adults and found that no one saw the scene, and it all seemed to be just a child's fantasy. "

Old Li remained silent.

He turned his head to look at the box he had placed on the table, then glanced at Liang Xun who was holding the teacup and staring quietly at the tea in the cup.

"Do you want to protect the owner of the wine cup?" asked Lao Li.

But Liang Xun actually chose to shake his head:

"I want to protect Shang Shu."

"how do I say this?"

"The attitude of the Si Sui Tai towards the Sui Beast agents has been changing over the years, and it is gradually diverging from the Ministry of Rites. I don't want a conflict between the two to break out in Shang Shu."

Lao Li nodded and understood where Liang Xun stood in this incident.

But he quickly shook his head and reminded:

"The Simuangtai doesn't have that much autonomy."

“So I need variables.”

"I?"

"It was you."

"Are you crazy?!"

"Do you still remember when we were classmates, I told you about my wish?"

“You want to be a good official.”

“What makes a good official?”

"..."

Seeing that Lao Li was silent, Liang Xun raised his head and drank the tea in his cup, then opened his mouth to speak.

"Do you want to chase me away now?" Lao Li spoke before he could open his mouth.

Liang Xun swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Lao Li reached out and picked up the box again, stuffed it into his arms, and snorted:

"I advise you to put away those messy thoughts, can you really calculate Qi Yan?

Tell me more about your specific plans."

"...I don't know." Liang Xun confessed.

Hearing this, Lao Li took a deep breath.

This was just like going to war. The other side was well-armed and had all kinds of beyond-visual-range and large-scale lethal weapons. But he suddenly found out that his side hadn't prepared any weapons, let alone a kitchen knife.

Lao Li felt that his blood pressure was a little high.

At this moment, Liang Xun turned his head and stared at Lao Li:

"I think there is one thing you can do."

"what?"

"Find the owner of this wine cup."

"Where is she?"

"do not know."

Lao Li felt like hitting someone.

"I know that with your ability, it won't be difficult to find someone." Liang Xun said seriously.

"Has anyone ever reminded you that you are terrible at flattering others?" Lao Li rolled his eyes.

"I am telling the truth."

Liang Xun was still extremely serious.

Lao Li unconsciously moved his buttocks in the chair.

There it comes again, that uneasy feeling.

He felt that he could not continue the conversation, so he stood up and muttered:

"My head hurts just talking to you. I've been running around all day and my bones are about to fall apart. I'm going to bed first."

"I'll take you to rest."

"No thanks, just tell me the location, I just want to relax."

Seeing Lao Li say this, Liang Xun did not force him. After pointing out the direction, he allowed Lao Li to wander freely in the mansion.

Anyway, his Liang Mansion was very shabby, not even as good as some of the wealthy families in Shangshu, so it was not difficult to find a guest room.

Old Li walked on the quiet stone pavement of Liang Mansion, touched the box in his arms, and still showed a sad expression:

"How am I supposed to analyze this nonsensical situation? Even if I were running a detective agency, I wouldn't be so difficult for others."

Just when he was worried, he suddenly heard a slight sound coming from behind him.

Because they were in Liang Xun's mansion, Lao Li was not too alert and turned his head to look towards the location where the sound came from.

Then he just stood there stupidly.

I saw a strange-looking beast, similar in shape to a dog but with a single horn and sharp teeth, tumbling out from the shadows.

On the back of this little animal, there is a yellow cup.

Before Lao Li could react to the little guy who had tortured him all the way, he saw another guy who had tortured him for a long time appear and pounced on the little beast.

"Shi Huaiya, what are you doing?!"

In the shadows, Du Yaoye's low voice could be heard: "You've exposed your whereabouts!"

"What the hell? Shi Huaiya?!"

Old Li looked at Qi Yan who pounced on the little animal and almost suspected that he had been running for a whole day and was now exhausted and hallucinating.
