Ai Shan was a little surprised. He was looking for an opening line, but unexpectedly it led to a melon.
"Already, we are married." Ai Shan murmured.
Lin Zhen stood up immediately, bowed to Shen Lie from a distance, and said in a voice that could be heard over Ai Shan: "Yes, I have heard about it a long time ago, so I have prepared a big gift. I hope Mr. Shen will have a happy wedding and a happy marriage for a hundred years!"
Several soldiers around him reacted one by one, stood up and congratulated one by one, and completed the scene first.
Some people sincerely said that they did not know about it in advance and would make up for it, so they would like to toast first.
Shen Lie had no choice but to drink a few more glasses of fruit wine, and then replaced the wine with tea.
Lin Jianrui did not express his position from beginning to end. After Shen Lie sat down, he whispered: "Brother Shen, why have you never mentioned this matter?"
"It's just a personal matter. I don't know how many children General Lin has in his family." Shen Lie said.
"That's not true. I just got married at the beginning of this year. My wife is now pregnant. My mother originally planned to get a few more concubines for me, but something happened to my father and the whole family was in chaos. I didn't want to care about it anymore."
"...Yeah." Shen Lie nodded.
"It's annoying to say," Lin Jianrui sighed, "My wife and I were childhood sweethearts. We both like to play chess and paint. But now I have become a general leading troops in wars, and my wife is obviously unhappy. She is dizzy and tired all day long and can't get out of bed. Alas. .”
Seeing that Lin Jianrui could not control his desire to express himself, Ji Xiahe hurriedly took over the words: "General Lin, I know some famous doctors who can be invited to prescribe prescriptions for your lady."
"Seriously?" Lin Jianrui was delighted.
Ji Xiahe then brought this topic to himself.
After the banquet was over, Lin Jianrui wanted to take Shen Lie to the lake for a walk.
Shen Lie endured it all night, and when he saw Lin Jianrui's face glowing red, he said in a cold voice, "General, it's better to go back and rest. It's easy to make mistakes when you go to the lake drunk."
"I can swim!" Lin Jianrui stretched out his arms to paddle in front of him.
Shen Lie didn't look at him anymore and turned to leave.
Lin Jianrui was about to catch up, but his uncle Lin Yiping grabbed him: "I'll take you for a swim, for a walk!"
"General, it's better not to swim. It's really cold at night." Dai Yu said to Lin Jianrui and followed Shen Lie.
Zhai Jinsheng, Ji Xiahe, Cheng Jieshi and others followed Shen Lie and left.
Lin Jianrui burped and looked at Lin Yiping: "Then let's go swimming?"
"Youyouyou!" Lin Yiping was annoyed to death.
Shen Lie and the others were arranged to live in another inn far away from the restaurant. It was not too far away, and it was only half a cup of tea away on foot.
The shopkeeper had already prepared hot water, but when he went upstairs, Dai Yu asked them to bring it later, preferably half an hour later.
Two figures were waiting at the stairs upstairs. I was about to fall asleep. When I heard the sound of their return, I got up from the chair and adjusted myself.
"Master!" Ping Yuefeng shouted.
Lin Zhonghu next to him shouted "Shen Langjun".
Ping Yuefeng saw Shen Lie's expression and said in surprise: "Master, have you drank?"
"Well, some fruit wine."
Shen Lie was born with fair skin, as white as noble jade. The smell of wine was slightly higher, and a very light layer of drunkenness appeared, making it even more transparent.
"Come into the house." Shen Lie said.
"Yeah!" Ping Yuefeng responded.
Ping Yuefeng was originally the steward of one of the seven inns where Du Xuan stayed in Zuilu. After Shen Lie quit Zuilu, only one of the seven inns was left unexposed, and the rest will leave in batches in the next few months.
There was nice-smelling incense burning in the room, the floor was covered with black silk floral felt, and the tables and chairs were a complete set of rosewood inlaid marble furniture.
Dai Yu and Cheng Jieshi went to light the lamps. Ping Yuefeng took out the map from his sleeve and spread it out on the table.
"There are several towns thirty miles southwest of Tanzhou Mansion. Our family can leave Tanzhou Mansion from here and follow these roads," Ping Yuefeng said.
No one in the room made a sound, everyone was listening to him quietly.
In the past ten days, Ping Yuefeng, Lin Zhonghu and others have been traveling around. Yesterday they arrived at the temporary residence left by Shen Lie in Xinmeng Town. This is where the follow-up turns.
Shen Lie's family members followed Wang Xudu to Tanzhou after they entered Tanzhou. The Lin family warmly welcomed them and settled them in Tanzhou, and they registered their household registration that day.
It is good to have a place to stay, but there must be a way out.
Shen Lie gave these escape routes to Ping Yuefeng.
Ping Yuefeng felt that it would be better to gradually leave Tanzhou Prefecture and live in these open towns.
In addition to these, Ping Yuefeng also understood the local culture, customs, and people's sentiments one by one. When talking to them now, his hands and topics always unconsciously point to Shanjing City in the southeast of Tanzhou.
He didn't notice this himself, so Ji Xiahe couldn't help but said: "Do you want to rob this place?"
"Huh?" Ping Yuefeng looked at Ji Xiahe. Did he expose him inadvertently?
"Mountain View City no longer belongs to Tanzhou," Shen Lie looked at the map, "This place is indeed a good place."
"...You also want to rob?" Ji Xiahe was surprised.
Shen Lie nodded: "Not counting Tanzhou, it does not belong to Lin Gong's territory. There is nothing wrong with us taking people around."
Ji Xiahe suspected that he heard wrongly.
"That's what I have in mind!" Ping Yuefeng was delighted, "Master, if you have the chance, it would be great if you can actually win it."
"But this is in the southeast, and there is Tanzhou across from the northwest," Ji Xiahe frowned, "Brother Shen, you came to Tanzhou not just to settle your men and the righteousness of Lin Gong."
Although Shen Lie didn't say it, Ji Xiahe knew that it was related to Tanzhou's strategic terrain.
The terrain of Tanzhou is special. It extends deep into the six states in the northwest and is connected to the south. Geographically speaking, it is in a military advantage.
The six northwest states were all invaded by the Yi Army and the Northern Desert Army. When they were defeated, Tanzhou sent troops north to fight. Looking at the entire western war situation, Tanzhou was the last line of defense for the Beiyuan people to enter the Central Plains from the west.
Go northwest to contain Bei Yuan and prevent sneak attacks.
To the southeast, warlords competed and divided the rivers and mountains, while they lived on the edge and were relatively independent.
Looking at the battle situation, Tanzhou's opponent is only Wang Hua. Compared with Yun Bozhong, Song Zhiyi, and Tian Dayao, Wang Hua's Sun Zhiyu is really gentle and cute.
All in all, Tanzhou is a very good strategic location. It can lure the enemy, attack the enemy, attack and defend.
In addition, now that they had accidentally learned about the Zinan Corridor that could be used for trade, it was the perfect time, place, and people.
But to rob Mountain View City, this robbery...
Ji Xiahe couldn't understand.
"It's not difficult to understand," Ping Yuefeng pointed at Mountain View City again, "There is money here!"
Ji Xiahe: "..."
"The ore is rich," Shen Lie added, "Ali needs it."
"That's right, I mentioned the mine just now!" Ping Yuefeng nodded. Seeing Shen Lie supporting the idea that he dared not speak out, he instantly became energetic, "Not only the mine, there is also abundant water here!"
"Miss Ali, did you say you need it..." Ji Xiahe said weakly.
"Sooner or later it will be necessary." Shen Lie said.
"Then," Ji Xiahe looked at the map, "Okay, let's be a gangster on an expedition!"
