Xu Fo smiled lightly: "Li Yuanqing's insight into people's hearts is probably at its peak. He looks at me, but not you. It's obvious that he doesn't know who you and I are and can't be sure. But I'm over thirty, even if I'm with you.

Zhou Kui is involved, but it must not be Zhou Kui's heart. Otherwise, Zhou Kui would not have brought me out. And Li Yuanqing deliberately looked at me with a leering look. Wouldn't this atmosphere become lively in the blink of an eye? "

"Sister, this..."

Liu Rushi was simply amazed for a moment.

She never expected that Li Yuanqing had so many skills in just a few small details.

But Liu Rushi couldn't help but admire Li Yuanqing at this time. In terms of mind, means, and courage, neither Zhou Kui nor Luo Yangxing could compare with Li Yuanqing.

Liu Rushi suddenly realized why her sister paid so much attention to this matter...

"Sister, I heard that Li Yuanqing is about to be named the first military earl of the Ming Dynasty. Luo Yangxing, a dog-like man, is so humble to Li Yuanqing. I think he must be asking for something. Unfortunately~, we can't do it now

Go in."

Xu Fo smiled: "Yes, don't worry. They probably don't have much wine left. We still have many opportunities."

Liu Rushi understood Xu Fo's intention and nodded obediently.

At this time, Li Yuanqing was patiently listening to Luo Yangxing's statement, and it was impossible to notice the two "scheming bitches" Xu Fo and Liu Rushi outside.

Luo Yangxing was already tearful at this time, like a pitiful slug, and he cried to Li Yuanqing in a low voice: "Li Shuai, I also know that if I make this request rashly, I really don't understand human affairs. But, but,

There is nothing I can do about it. The Emperor has already intended to further reduce Jinyiwei’s budget before the middle of the year, but the brothers are all raising families, it’s really, really..."

Li Yuanqing remained calm, playing with the gold pocket watch in his hand slowly and methodically.

Seeing that the atmosphere was slightly cold, Zhou Kui hurriedly coughed and laughed and said: "Yuan Qing, Brother Luo, this matter is indeed a bit abrupt. I blame my brother for not thinking carefully about this matter and not saying hello to you in advance.

.However, Yuan Qing, everyone is doing things for the emperor and sharing the emperor's worries. You see... if you can help Brother Luo, then that's it. Of course, how to calculate it, then calculate it! Yuan Qing

The benefits and hard-earned money must not be lost even a cent."

"Yes, yes. Li Shuai, I have already prepared my share of the money. Even if I only get 50%, I will have no problem with it."

Luo Yangxing hurriedly wiped away his tears, carefully opened a brocade box beside him, and pushed it in front of Li Yuanqing. They were all filled with white banknotes, which should be worth one hundred thousand taels.

Li Yuanqing smiled lightly and took out a cigar.

Luo Yangxing hurriedly took the fire folding piece carefully and respectfully lit it for Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing smiled: "Brother Luo, 50% of your capital is too small. In this way, each of us takes a step back. You have 50%, and I have 40%. The expenses are all mine, Li Yuanqing's, and Brother Luo only needs to take a step back."

How about leaving the accounting room?"

Luo Yangxing couldn't help but be overjoyed.

He tried his best to find all the connections he could find, and finally he was able to catch a ride on Li Yuanqing's carriage. He hurriedly filled a glass of wine for Li Yuanqing, and then hurriedly filled it for Zhou Kui, "Li Shuai, Uncle

Master, I’d like to give you two a drink.”

…………

It was a banquet, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves till midnight.

Luo Yangxing's wine is quite good, very real, one mouthful at a time, without any sloppiness, which makes Li Yuanqing a little impressed.

Of course, this may also be because he wants to have a relationship with Li Yuanqing.

However, at today's banquet, the three of them "respected each other as if they were guests" and gave each other enough face. They could barely support a new small group.

But Zhou Kui's "kill first and then report" approach is obviously not authentic enough.

When the banquet broke up, Luo Yangxing was already drunk and Zhou Kui was also a little out of shape. Li Yuanqing personally supported them and arranged for his soldiers to take them to the carriage and escort them all the way back home.

But just when Li Yuanqing was about to leave, Xu Fo smiled and said, "Li Shuai has a good drinker. I made some hangover tea. Li Shuai, would you like to try it?"

"How dare Yuan Qing refuse to accept the invitation from the Xu family? Speaking of which, Yuan Qing has not thanked the Xu family for the wine and delicacies today."

Li Yuanqing glanced at Xu Fo, without much hesitation, smiled and nodded in agreement.

Xu Fo couldn't help but be overjoyed immediately.

Even Luo Yangxing eagerly begged her grandfather and grandma to get on Li Yuanqing's ship. At this moment, the opportunity finally appeared in front of her. How could she not seize it?

He smiled hurriedly and said: "Li Shuai, please."

Li Yuanqing smiled and strode into the courtyard again.

Xu Fo's tea room is also very exquisite. Compared with the elegant room where he drank wine before, although he smiled a little, it drew a pool of living water and flowed in and out along the bamboo tube, which gave it a bit more charm.

Xu Fo made the tea himself, while Liu Rushi twisted her waist and carefully arranged the desserts for Li Yuanqing.

Although Liu Rushi looked somewhat presentable at this time, he was obviously still a novice. After a few glances, Li Yuanqing lost interest and simply closed his eyes to rest.

Although Liu Rushi had been avoiding Li Yuanqing's eyes, she had been secretly sizing up Li Yuanqing. When she saw Li Yuanqing glance at her a few times and then stop looking at her, she felt an indescribable loss in her heart.

.

Although she is young, she is by no means stupid.

Once she has any involvement with the tall man in front of her, even if it doesn't work out in the end, her worth will definitely be greatly improved.

It's a pity that flowing water is intentional, but soil is ruthless.

Li Yuanqing had no intention of paying attention to the thoughts of Liu Rushi, a little yellow-haired girl. He had already begun to think carefully about today's banquet.

Draw inferences from one example.

This has always been a motto that Li Yuanqing admired very much.

Especially the interpersonal relationships in the capital, no one is good at it.

Since Eunuch Wei, the decline of Jinyiwei has become inevitable.

However, the center of this organization has always been mysterious and difficult for ordinary people to understand.

Although Li Yuanqing had made predictions before, which were basically close to the core, he had no real confidence.

At this time, through today's exchange with Luo Yangxing, including Luo Yangxing's weak appearance, Li Yuanqing also understood that Jin Yiwei's downfall had only just begun.

The Ming Dynasty's majestic Imperial Guards, which have been inherited for two hundred years, have ended up in such a situation. There are two key points.

The first point lies with Luo Yangxing himself.

In other words, it was due to the personnel structure inherited from Jinyiwei, especially during that special period.

Luo Yangxing was the successor of his father, and both of them were deeply involved with Eunuch Wei. They were entangled for various reasons. Although Emperor Chongzhen did not capture them, his distrust of them was almost certain.

In addition, Wang Chengen's desire for power is not too great, and he has no intention of supporting Jin Yiwei.

Although Cao Huachun had some say, how could he dare to jump out and go against the emperor's will at such a time?

With the combination of various man-made reasons, Luo Yangxing is almost in a dead end.

Secondly, and most importantly, the Ming Dynasty's treasury was empty, and most of the money was used for Liao affairs and military affairs. Naturally, it could not be too much for Jinyiwei.

Even Luo Yangxing himself did not have enough control over Jin Yiwei.

In this way, each one works independently, and the inner court center does not have any lucrative tasks. It is also inevitable for the development of things that they are marginalized.

But the reason why Li Yuanqing stood up to Zhou Kui and opened this mouth to Luo Yangxing today was by no means impulsive, but after careful consideration.

The icing on the cake, how can it be like providing help in the snow?

Although Luo Yangxing is decadent, he is not without merit. At least Jin Yiwei's flying fish suit and embroidered spring knife are the best signs.

Even if Li Yuanqing can't control it, it will definitely be a lot easier to penetrate his influence in the future.

Pull up the tiger skin to make a big flag.

If a problem can be solved with money, is it still a problem?

However, everyone seemed happy about this matter, but Zhou Kui had to teach him a lesson by killing him first and telling him later.

Otherwise, what's the point?

While he was thinking endlessly, a piece of sweet pastry suddenly appeared on Li Yuanqing's lips. When he opened his eyes, he saw Liu Rushi picking up a piece of pastry and carefully bringing it to his mouth.

Li Yuanqing smiled and did not hesitate. He ate the cake into his mouth with a smile and said with a smile: "It tastes good. Thank you, girl."

Liu Rushi's pretty face immediately turned red.

Although he has been trained by Xu Fo for several years, this is the first time that he has arrived on the 'actual battlefield', and he doesn't know where to put his hands and feet.

Li Yuanqing smiled and squeezed her little hand, "How old is Miss Liu this year?"

"ah?"

Liu Rushi didn't expect that Li Yuanqing would still remember her last name. Fang couldn't help but feel ashamed and happy. What her sister said was indeed true. Li Yuanqing felt like a mirror.

Busy lowered his head and said like a mosquito: "Back to Li Shuai, slave, slave, I am thirteen years old this year."

Li Yuanqing smiled: "The girl is in her prime of youth. She is really enviable."

The fixed impression had been broken in Fang's heart, and a new one had been formed. Liu Rushi was very nervous. She didn't know how to face Li Yuanqing, and her ears turned red.

She really wanted to say a few words to Li Yuanqing and leave a deeper impression on him, but she really didn't know how to say it.

At this time, Xu Fo had already made tea, brought it to Li Yuanqing's side, and said with a smile: "Li Shuai, please use it."
