"Oh!" Mei Changsu responded lightly, picked a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and threw it into his mouth. He chewed a few mouthfuls, took a sip of tea, and smacked his lips, thoughtfully.

"Sect Master Mei, I'm going to make a concession for your sake. They cut down twelve boxwood trees, but I only want them to hand over twelve people including their young master to my disposal!"

"Oh!" It was still a bland sentence, but this time Mei Changsu picked a few green beans and threw them into his mouth.

"I will not mess around in Jiangzuo territory. I will take them back to the Qiaolong Gang and then deal with them!" Shu Zhongtian raised his thick eyebrows and was slightly dissatisfied with Mei Changsu's indifferent performance. He suppressed his anger and said:

After a slight thought, he said in a deep voice, "When does Sect Leader Mei plan to hand over Gongsun Yu to me?"

"Mei promised the Gongsun family to protect them for seven days. Calculating the time, there are almost two days left. Can leader Shu wait for two more days?" Deep eyes like pool water looked at Shu Zhongtian with a smile.

, as if he was adding silently: Leader Shu, you won’t even give me this thin noodle.

"Sect Master Mei, did you invite me to the top of Heling Mountain for a secret meeting to delay the two days?" Shu Zhongtian said almost sarcastically, "You can just talk about it on the river. I think we, the Qiaolong Gang, are also going to join us.

Now that the Langya Bang gang has arrived at Jiangzuo, this little bit of face will always be given to Sect Master Mei."

"Haha!" Mei Changsu laughed in a low voice. After a series of coughs, he took a sip of warm tea and said with a hint of guilt, "Mei's selfishness made Gang Leader Shu laugh."

"...!" Mei Changsu's move made Shu Zhongtian feel troubled. As a giant in the north, the people he interacted with were all famous heroes. When would he sit at the same table with a frail scholar, and when would he be...

Has anyone ever treated him like this? But when faced with Mei Changsu, who treated him sincerely, he didn't get angry. He snorted with a dark face and looked away.

Mei Changsu chuckled and said: "Mei heard that the scenery in the north is very special, especially in winter, this scenery...!"

Mentioning the winter in the north, Shu Zhongtian immediately became excited. Not only did he turn his head, but he also said excitedly, "Don't say, the scenery in the north depends on winter. Where I am, it is covered with snow in winter, but the mountains are covered with snow.

In the forest, there are dots of red plum blossoms, which are really pleasing to the eye. It’s like...sprinkling a handful of salt flowers!"

"Sprinkling salt in the air can make a difference, it's better than catkins blowing up in the wind." Mei Changsu's eyes revealed a look of yearning, but he was cursing secretly in his heart: I've said it twice, but I still haven't remembered it?

"Yes, yes, that's the sentence, 'Throwing salt in the air can make a difference, not like catkins blowing up in the wind.'" Shu Zhongtian smiled coquettishly. The young man in silver robe said it twice, but he didn't remember it. He wanted to

I'll ask him again when the silver-robed young man comes again, but who knows...

"Listen...it's a very beautiful scene!" Mei Changsu lowered his head sadly.

"When Sect Leader Mei has free time to go to the north to play in the future, I will definitely entertain you. We also have mountains there, and watching the sunrise on the snow-covered mountains has a unique flavor." Mei Changsu said in admiration, and Shu Zhongtian immediately forgot about it.

Unhappy just now, he enthusiastically invited me, "I'll have someone shoot a snow leopard for you to try!"

"...!" It's snow leopard again. Apart from snow leopard, don't you have any other delicacies to entertain guests in your area?

"Sect Master Mei, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Mei Changsu lowering his head and saying nothing, as if he was thinking, the straight-tempered Shu Zhongtian couldn't help but ask.

"...Sigh!" Mei Changsu shook his head slightly and said with a wry smile, "I live in Jiangzuo, so I can't live without the charcoal stove in winter... Even though Mei longs for the scenery of the North, she still has to take care of it. Look at the looks of the officials in the alliance!"

"Oh, haha, gaffe, gaffe, I thought you didn't want to be associated with a vulgar and reckless guy like me, haha!" Shu Zhongtian didn't have any intentions at all, but he felt relieved when he heard Mei Changsu say this. Thinking about it, How could this frail young man go to the north to spend the winter just to see the beautiful scenery?

It's not him.

A young man in silver robe who can easily break ice cubes from the eaves and put them in his mouth to chew as candy.

"Gang Leader Shu is joking. The Qiaolong Gang is a Jianghu gang that has entered the Langya List. Gang Leader Shu is a generational tycoon and a famous hero in the world. In the past, Mei wanted to get rid of the gang leader but was unable to do so. Today, Gang Leader Shu came to Jianghu in person. Zuo, how could Mei...!" Mei Changsu smiled lightly, a smile bathed in the late spring sunset, quiet but relieved. This scene actually stunned Shu Zhongtian, "Shu Gang Leader, Mei is in this room Let’s toast the leader with tea instead of wine.”

I guess you know the truth. Shu Zhongtian thought to himself angrily, and immediately drank the light green liquid in the cup. In his mind, he remembered the captain of the ship vividly describing how intelligent their sect master who was not a martial artist was.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Mei Changsu carefully and then said with a smile, "I have always heard that Sect Master Mei is very intelligent. Since we have a chance to meet him today, Shu has something that he would like to ask Sect Master Mei for advice! Do you know what I am doing? What do you want me to ask you for?"

This man's temperament has changed since he moved from the north to the south. Why did he come to ask me about this? Mei Changsu thought to himself, but with a smile on his face, "The north has spread beyond the boundaries of Jiangzuo. I just speculated that the Red Flame Army borrowed food." , It’s a somewhat intentional move. I don’t know what is causing Gang Leader Shu to worry, so I would like to ask Gang Leader Shu to come over one by one. It would be a great honor for Mei if I can relieve Gang Leader Shu’s worries.”

"I'm telling you, how could you know everything? It turns out you were lucky. You guessed it!" Shu Zhongtian raised his head and laughed loudly, "Actually, it was because of the boxwood matter! I was cruel to the Gongsun family, but it was actually To give all parties a deterrent, let the world know that anyone who has an idea for my Qiaolong Gang, Huang Yanglin, will be hunted down by Shu to the ends of the earth!"

"Did Gang Leader Shu realize that there are others who are plotting against Huang Yanglin?" A smile appeared on Mei Changsu's lips. Everything was going towards his idea. After all, Huang Yanglin was a scourge. "Chasing the Gongsun family all the way is... To kill a chicken to scare the monkey?"

"No!" Thinking of these things, Shu Zhongtian felt dizzy. He thought of many ways, but could not stop it from happening. Knowing that there was no one else on the mountain top except him and Mei Changsu, Shu Zhongtian still couldn't stop it from happening. He lowered his voice and said, "And I realize that the opponent's strength cannot be underestimated."

"Master Shu, this matter cannot be discussed in a day or two. You see, it is already sunset. How about I ask someone to prepare some food and wine and we can have a long talk under the bright moonlight?"

"Have a long talk by holding a candle? It's okay for me, but can you do it, Master Mei? If you faint suddenly, I can't bear this responsibility!"

"Mei's illness also arises in accordance with the season. Now that spring is blooming and the elixir carefully prepared by the doctor in Mengli is taken on time, it doesn't hurt to drink a few glasses of thin wine."

"Wine? Your Zhongyuan wine is so bland that it doesn't taste good. It's nothing good to drink!" Shu Zhongtian said dissatisfiedly.

"The wines in the north are mostly strong and mellow, just like northern men are proud of themselves, but the wines in the south are clear, mellow and sweet. Why don't Gang Leader Shu give it a try?"

"Is it Zhaodianhong?" Shu Zhongtian said casually, but he didn't expect Mei Changsu to actually bring out Zhaodianhong.

"Ever since Mei learned that Shu gang leader was coming to Jiangzuo, she ordered Zhaodianhong to be prepared...! But at the moment, she can only aggrieved Shu gang leader to accompany Mei to drink some other wine."

This is a fact. After learning that Lin Chen successfully attracted Shu Zhongtian, he sent a letter to Li Gang who stayed in Langzhou, asking him to choose a reliable person and travel day and night to deliver Zhaodianhong.

Lin Chen's intentional or unintentional actions led to today's situation of being able to go through the motions with Zhaodianhong.

"Can you drink light wine?" Of course he was happy to hear that the red beam of Zhaodian was prepared at the foot of the mountain, but he still pretended not to care and ignored the words. He looked sideways at Mei Changsu, with a few words.

asked questioningly.

In late spring and early summer, the mountain breeze is no longer chilly, but the young man in front of me has to wheeze or cough from time to time. Can he really drink with this body?

Mei Changsu said with a smile, "If the doctors in the alliance talk about Mei's drinking, Mei will say that he drinks a few cups to get rid of the cold and damp air in the mountains.

"Ah...! This...!" Shu Zhongtian ended his words for a moment. Listening to this tone, it seemed...

It’s not that I don’t want to drink it, it’s not that I can’t drink it, it’s just that the doctors in the alliance don’t allow it.

"When the time comes, I hope Leader Shu will say a few kind words for me!" Mei Chang Su Qiao smiled, cupped his fists and gave a slight salute.

"Why, are you still afraid of them?" Shu Zhongtian said in shock.

"I'm really scared of people holding silver needles in one hand and decoctions in the other!" He could still be calm and composed when other doctors looked like this, but Lin Chen...

"Changsu, I changed the medicine for you, drink it while it's hot!"

"Chang Su, sit down quickly and let me try the newly developed acupuncture technique!"

"Sect Master Mei, Sect Master Mei...!" Seeing Mei Changsu frowning, Shu Zhongtian called out, "You, are you okay?"

"It's okay, I just remembered the time when the doctor asked me to drink medicine!" Mei Changsu said calmly.

"Sect Master Mei still needs to listen to the doctor's words more and don't show off. But what kind of wine do you want to buy me to drink?" Shu Zhongtian looked at the stone table with only a few refreshments and frowned, and said displeasedly, "Shu doesn't

I care about what goes with the drinks, but I can’t just drink with tea, and what about the wine? My nose is very good, but I can’t smell the aroma of wine!”

You don’t have to tell people you have a good nose every time you meet them! Mei Changsu cursed in his heart, put away the refreshments on the stone table, looked up at Shu Zhongtian, nodded apologetically and smiled, then walked out of the pavilion.

He took out a jade flute from his sleeve and played it slowly again. The music was sometimes melodious and sometimes brisk...

Is this a call to someone? Although Shu Zhongtian did not interrupt Mei Changsu's playing, his expression changed, and the person became alert and used his inner strength to listen carefully to the situation around him.

Just when Shu Zhongtian was on full alert, he suddenly saw a black spot coming closer from a distance. The music suddenly rose in pitch and then became gentle. The black spot gradually flew closer. Only then did Shu Zhongtian realize that the black spot was a big bird.

.

white crane.

"Sect Master Mei, this is...!" Shu Zhongtian pointed at the white crane hovering above their heads but never landed, and exclaimed, "Did you bring this on?"

Mei Changsu did not answer directly, but still played the jade flute. The music gradually slowed down, and the white crane gradually descended with the music. After placing the food box under the bird's claws in front of Mei Changsu, it flapped its wings and said, "Hungry

"Hungry" cried out.

"Xiaojiu, thank you!" Mei Changsu patted Xiaojiu's head gently and said with a smile.

Xiaojiu rubbed Mei Changsu's hand affectionately, like a coquettish child.

"How good!" Mei Changsu took out a blue cloth bag embroidered with plum blossoms from his sleeves, took out some grass seeds from the bag and put it in the palm of his hand, "Come and eat, Xiaojiu!"

"Hungry, hungry, hungry!" Xiaojiu called out happily twice and pecked the grass seeds in Mei Changsu's hand.

In the past, the interaction between people and Bai He could only be heard. When this scene really appeared in front of him, Shu Zhongtian was dumbfounded. How could he remember to be on guard? Until Mei Changsu's music came back and sent Xiao Jiu away, he didn't

Come back to your senses.

"Chief Shu, Gang Leader Shu?" Mei Changsu called.

"Ah, oh... the white crane is gone!" The white crane disappeared into the distance and became a black dot in the sky.

"Yes!" Mei Changsu put the jade flute into his arms, picked up the food box and said with a smile, "Master Shu, Mei borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha. This is monkey wine. I wonder if Master Shu is satisfied?"

As he spoke, Mei Changsu placed the food and wine in the food box on the stone table one by one.

There are not many dishes, but they are all Shu Zhongtian’s favorite dishes: soy sauce beef, spicy radish, braised peanuts, and braised pig trotters.

"You can drive the white crane with your music, and you can also get the monkey wine from the monkeys?" Zhongtian has heard about the monkey wine, but he also knows that the monkeys take these wines very seriously. This Jiangzuo clan leader still has

You really can't underestimate it, otherwise how could you use the music to drive the white crane and get the monkey wine from the monkey group.

"It's just a coincidence! Xiaojiu was left alone due to a foot injury and was sent to my place by a disciple under the alliance. Seeing how pitiful she was, I asked a doctor to treat her foot injury. She couldn't heal her foot injury for a long time and seemed unhappy. I tried

He played the piano and played music to soothe her with the music. Unexpectedly, Xiaojiu really fell in love with her." Mei Changsu smiled softly, "But I never expected that Xiaojiu would not leave even after she recovered from her injury, and insisted on staying.

She listened to me playing music and playing the piano around me. If I didn't play music or play the piano for her one day, she would lose her temper like a child. At that time, I got an ancient book on crane training, and I got excited.

With the idea of ​​​​trying it out, I used ancient books to teach her to dance with music or send an object short distance, but I didn’t expect it to work!"

"...!" Shu Zhongtian.

"However, Xiaojiu will always belong to the creatures in the mountains, fields and clouds. Sooner or later, I will still have to find a place to send her away!" Mei Changsu said while pouring wine for Shu Zhongtian, "Speaking of monkey wine, more information

It's an interesting story. There are several places in the fourteen prefectures of Jiangzuo connected with mountains and dense forests. These monkeys are very naughty because there are no tigers in the mountains. They usually don't bother the villagers much, but during the autumn harvest, they come down the mountain in groups.

They went to grab the food for the autumn harvest. The villagers thought that the monkeys also needed food for the winter, so they went with them. But the monkeys deceived the good, and when the villagers did not do anything, they destroyed the fields for harvest. In the past, these villagers could use tricks
