Chapter 166 You can’t use the beauty trap on the eunuch, right?
After waking up from a nap, Li Changsheng found that the functions of his lower body were normal.
His heart finally settled down.
After calming down a little, Li Changsheng suddenly remembered that he had to accompany Queen Xiao Yufei out of the palace to visit her relatives today.
I dared not delay any longer.
I wrote a recipe for brewing wine and gave it to Lanruo.
Let her bring Lanzhi and Xiao Chenzi to brew wine at home.
Lan Ruo took a look at the secret method of brewing wine written by her master.
There is even a line on it, which requires the girl to step on the koji with her bare feet.
This made her cheeks turn slightly red, and she asked shyly:
"Master, why do we have to step on the koji with bare feet?"
Li Changsheng said: "Because it's unhygienic to step on it with shoes!"
Lan Ruo: “???”
At this moment, Lanzhi came over, her bright eyes twinkling as she asked curiously, "Master, is it fun to step on the wine yeast with your bare feet?"
Li Changsheng patted her little head lovingly and said, "You'll know if it's fun or not after trying it!"
"By the way, I have to go out for something and may not be back until very late. You guys stay at home and don't run around."
"I'm going to check the homework when we get back. If anyone doesn't do well, I'll spank them. Got it?"
While speaking, Li Changsheng deliberately raised his hand, as if he was about to hit someone.
Moreover, it seemed that he was speaking to the two sisters Lanzhi and Lanruo.
But in fact, it was only aimed at Lanzhi.
After all, there is a girl like Lan Ruo who is so well-behaved and sensible.
Even if he wanted to spank her, he couldn't find a suitable reason.
Lanzhi responded playfully, and after Li Changsheng walked away, she stuck out her butt and swayed back and forth in the direction he left.
That nasty little expression seems to be saying, come and hit me!
……
The Xiao family lives in the wealthy area in the east of the city. Anyone who buys a house here must be rich and noble.
No matter how rich those merchants are, they are not qualified.
Moreover, this place is very close to the imperial palace, and the journey by car (horse carriage) only takes an hour.
However, it is a big deal for the Queen Mother to leave the palace to visit her relatives.
Various etiquette and pomp are of course indispensable.
Therefore, something that could have been completed in one hour was delayed to two or three hours.
It was already afternoon when we arrived at the Xiao family.
General Xiao Tiangui and his wife went out to greet him in person.
After a brief greeting, he took Xiao Yufei to the main hall.
Li Changsheng originally wanted to go along.
But he was blocked by Xiao Qi.
"General Manager Li, the General of the Household invites you!"
The General of the Central Army that Xiao Qi mentioned was naturally Xiao Yunfei, the eldest son of the general.
Well, he is also Xiao Ziyan's father.
It can be seen that the reason why this General of the Central Army came to find him was most likely because of his daughter Xiao Ziyan.
Li Changsheng naturally couldn't refuse and could only follow Xiao Qi.
Xiao Yunfei was hosting a banquet for Li Changsheng in a side courtyard.
When he saw Li Changsheng coming, he personally stepped forward to greet him.
"Manager Li, how are you? We meet again!"
Seeing this, Li Changsheng quickly returned the greeting.
"Greetings to the General of the Central Army!"
After a brief greeting, the host and guests took their seats one after another.
Xiao Yunfei said with a smile, "I heard from Xiao Qi that during this expedition to the capital to suppress the bandits, General Li was able to plan and plan the battle from thousands of miles away. He is truly a talented general!"
Xiao Yunfei and his generals and staff have reviewed the entire process of suppressing bandits in the capital.
Although Li Changsheng's move of cutting off the firewood from under the cauldron was a stroke of luck, it could still be considered a stroke of genius under the circumstances at the time.
Especially Jiang Li and Xiao Qi, the battle records of these two generals were very poor, and some of them even suffered complete defeat.
It also makes its achievements stand out very impressively.
However, in the eyes of veterans like Xiao Yunfei who have been familiar with military books since childhood and have personally fought in the battlefield.
Li Changsheng only bullied his opponents, who were all refugees who had put down their hoes and a group of hungry rabble.
As long as the enemy are soldiers who have received a little training and can understand orders.
Such a risky move by Li Changsheng may result in the annihilation of the entire army.
In fact, compared with the military measures, what shocked them even more was Li Changsheng’s reforms to people’s livelihood.
Especially the "Four Great Wishes in My Life" he shouted in front of tens of thousands of people.
It is truly eye-opening and enlightening.
Such a gifted person who could save the world would have died midway.
He may grow up to be a great talent like Guan Zhong and Yue Yi in the future.
It was also because of this that the Xiao family took a fancy to Li Changsheng's talents and decided to recruit him.
Of course, in addition to Li Changsheng's ability.
The other party's identity as the chief eunuch also adds a lot of value.
Although the Xiao family has many spies in the palace.
But the level of these spies is too low and they have no access to core secrets.
Moreover, Li Changsheng's big move in the capital area offended many wealthy families.
This was definitely not something that a mere eunuch like him could handle.
Behind it, there must be the figure of His Majesty.
Perhaps all his crazy actions were instructed by Your Majesty.
Otherwise, Li Changsheng, who was just a eunuch, would not be so confident.
Holding the Emperor's Sword, he killed many of the wealthy and powerful families in Yanshi City.
What's more, Your Majesty is now twenty years old and has reached the age to rule the country.
Although under pressure from the court and the overwhelming public opinion in the world.
The Queen Mother has returned some of the power to Your Majesty.
But the core power is still firmly in the hands of the Queen Mother.
Like now, in the capital area, the wealthy families are being targeted and land reforms are being carried out in a big way.
In all likelihood, this is an attempt by His Majesty to seize power from the Queen Mother and rule the country himself.
At present, the contradiction between His Majesty and the Queen Mother is becoming increasingly acute, and they are now incompatible.
This is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for their Xiao family.
Therefore, it is imperative to win over a powerful high-ranking eunuch like Li Changsheng as an insider.
This is also the most important reason why Xiao Yunfei wants to host a private banquet for Li Changsheng today.
In response to Xiao Yunfei's initiative to show goodwill, Li Changsheng smiled modestly.
"General Zhonglang, you're joking! This is all thanks to the Tiger Wing Guards, the Dragon Sovereign Guards, and all the soldiers. Especially the Tiger Wing Guards, they've made such a great contribution!"
"If the Tiger Wing Guards weren't an elite force, I wouldn't dare take such a risk!"
In addition to being the General of the Central Army, Xiao Yunfei was also the military commander of the Tiger Wing Guard.
According to the military rank of Dawu Army, the military Sima belongs to the third rank.
Although the rank is the same as that of the brigade commander.
But his actual status is second only to the commander-in-chief, after the brigade commander.
If the commander-in-chief is absent, the military secretary can take charge of some important military and political affairs.
The commander-in-chief of the Tiger Wing Guard is General Xiao Tiangui, who has long stopped being involved in specific affairs.
Therefore, all matters of the Tiger Wing Guard, big or small, were decided by Xiao Yunfei, the military commander.
Only when there is a major decision that is really undecided will the general be consulted.
Now that he heard Li Changsheng praising the soldiers of their Tiger Wing Guard, he was naturally very happy.
After a round of business flattery, Xiao Yunfei finally got down to business.
"Manager Li, I heard that you saved my daughter Xiao Ziyan twice in Yanshi this time."
"This is a small token of my gratitude. Please don't despise it, Mr. Li!"
As he spoke, he clapped his hands.
Soon, a maid came over holding two brocade boxes.
The first brocade box contained a stack of banknotes.
Li Changsheng took a quick look and estimated that the thickness was over ten thousand taels.
Another brocade box contained a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum.
It seems that its actual value should not be lower than the ten thousand taels of silver notes.
This scene made Li Changsheng gasp in amazement.
The Xiao family is indeed the most aristocratic family in Dawu.
He is so fucking generous!
If I had known this, I would have found a way to save Xiao Ziyan twice more.
"General, it was just a small favor. No need to be so polite, okay?"
Although Li Changsheng said this, his eyes never left the ten thousand taels of silver and the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum.
Xiao Yunfei saw that although Li Changsheng said no, his body was so honest.
The rating he gave it in his heart was only 10% lower.
But on second thought, this might not be a bad thing for their Xiao family.
If Li Changsheng is a stubborn person who doesn't like gold, silver or rare treasures.
They really don't know what valuable things they can offer to win over the other party.
After all, you can't use the beauty trap on a eunuch, right?
