The attire Xia Zhaoyi wore was almost the same as the one he wore when he went to "abduct" Wang Fengnian when he was in Hengxiang, which was plain and simple.
Zhili, who is dressed in brocade clothes and splendid clothes with the word "Longevity", is rich and graceful, far more than a country sage, and more like a gentleman from a noble family.
Not only Shen Lie, but Zhan Ning and Shi Guoxin who came with Xia Zhaoyi still couldn't adapt to their outfits.
Zhili followed Shen Lie and sat down at Xiudun, his voice still excited: "If you think about it carefully, Brother Shen and I haven't seen each other for five years. Five years..."
"Zhang Li has grown taller." Shen Lie said.
"I still owe a little. I want to be as tall as Brother Shen, so that I can protect my senior sister like Brother Shen."
Xia Zhaoyi, who was pouring a cup of tea nearby and drinking it slowly, heard the words and glanced at Zhili with a neither salty nor salty look.
Shen Lie looked at her and said to Zhili: "Ah Li is very powerful and doesn't need my protection."
"But you have protected her several times. If Brother Shen hadn't appeared in time this time at Jixing Mountain, I believe that nothing would have happened to senior sister, but her health would have been seriously damaged and she would have been unable to bear it."
"Ah Li also saved me several times and went through fire and water for me." Shen Lie said.
"Brother Shen said this..." He stood up suddenly and whispered in Shen Lie's ear.
Xia Zhaoyi raised his eyebrows and looked towards them.
Shen Lie's complexion changed slightly and he looked at Zheli.
"Brother Shen, remember to come." Zhili whispered.
"Okay." Shen Lie nodded.
"Senior sister is still sitting here." Xia Zhaoyi said.
"Ha..." Zali smiled, came back and sat next to Xia Zhaoyi, "Senior sister, I'm here."
With that said, he raised his hand to pick up the teapot and poured it into Xia Zhaoyi's cup.
"Ali, how are you injured?" Shen Lie asked.
"It's okay, I can walk."
"How long will it take to get better?"
"Within ten days, it may take twenty days for the scab to form."
Shen Lie nodded and wanted to ask if it hurt, but thought it was useless nonsense.
He had dealt with the wounds himself and fully understood how deep they were and how painful they would be.
It's time to look for some expensive medicinal materials or an ointment that won't leave scars, although she may know better than him.
"Sister, didn't we say we were coming to visit someone?" Zhili asked.
"Next door," Xia Zhaoyi said, "Let's take our time."
"Well, isn't it okay now?"
"Do you want tea?" Xia Zhaoyi looked into his eyes.
"Then, I'll go talk to Brother Shen." He stood up happily and sat next to Shen Lie.
"..."
Xia Zhaoyi looked at Shen Lie.
"..."
His deep black eyes were clear and bright, looking back at her silently.
Xia Zhaoyi lowered his eyes and continued drinking tea.
Not long after, there was a light knock on the door outside.
Dai Yu went over to open the door. It was the clerk from Fengyang Tower.
The waiter came in and took a look, his eyes fell on Shen Lie, and he said sheepishly: "Mr. Shen, some distinguished guests have arrived. The shopkeeper asked if you could free up this private room..."
"Did the other party ask for it by name?" Shen Lie asked.
"It's not that..."
"Then there are other private rooms."
"But all those private rooms have been booked by someone else, including the new chief."
"It's that guy!" Zhili shouted.
Shen Lie and Xia Zhaoyi looked at him.
"That guy is so disgusting," Zhili frowned. "He follows the trend, tries to cater to others, clings to the throne, looks up to others, and is greedy for life and afraid of death! Even an incompetent Mr. Ma can make him weak in the legs."
"...Is he so outrageous?" Dai Yu was shocked.
"It's extremely abominable," Zhili said.
The waiter hurriedly closed the door at the back: "Master, please don't say that to Master Zhi."
"We won't let you in this private room," Shen Lie said, "We were here first."
The waiter was anxious: "Mr. Shen, that distinguished guest... is the princess."
He pressed the last three words very, very softly.
"First come, first served." Shen Lie said calmly.
"Aren't you... making things difficult for me?"
"It's you who is making things difficult for us." Zhili said.
The waiter had no choice but to leave first and claimed to go talk to the shopkeeper.
Finally, Zhiye, who had booked almost all the private rooms, was willing to give up one.
Zhili hehe: "This branch master is so grand. He has reserved so many private rooms to entertain the wise people in Xucheng. Now that this person knows that the princess is coming, I am afraid he will immediately go to the dragon and the phoenix."
"You are so angry," Xia Zhaoyi said with a smile, "How has Master Zhi treated you?"
"No, I just can't stand it. Besides, he has the same surname as me."
"But that branch master is now a branch master. In the future, it may not be easy to say." Xia Zhaoyi said.
"What does this mean?"
"Ask your brother Shen," Xia Zhaoyi looked at Shen Lie and said with a smile, "Master Zhi, do you think so?"
"Ah?" Zhili was confused and looked at Shen Lie.
"As soon as Brother Ji leaves, the title of Master Zhi will be mine." Shen Lie looked at him and said in a calm voice.
"Ah?" Zhili still said.
Zhan Ning and Shi Guoxin, who had fought against Zhiye's men as early as Shoushi, chuckled softly from behind.
Zhili looked back at them: "You also know?"
"Only you don't know," Xia Zhaoyi said with a smile, "Zhiye's surname is your surname."
"..."
At this time, the knock on the door rang again.
Dai Yu opened the door, and there was still the same waiter. The difference was that behind him was a maid wearing a green dress and a silk silk palace dress.
Cui'er looked at all the men in the room and looked at the most conspicuous man in white, she couldn't help but feel amazed.
"Mr. Shen," Cui'er said, "my princess, I invite you to come over and have a cup of tea."
"Is it okay not to go?" Shen Lie said.
Cui'er paused and said, "Mr. Shen, my princess rarely invites people to tea, so you might as well go."
"I don't want to go."
"Mr. Shen," Cui'er's voice became deeper, "Your elegant voice is pure and pure. It's not the voice of Xucheng. Are you not from Xucheng?"
"no."
"Is he a busy businessman?"
"yes."
"So, you don't like our princess? So you don't want to drink tea?"
Zhili couldn't listen anymore, so he pinched his throat and said in an old and hoarse voice: "If you say you don't like it, what will you do?"
"It's disrespectful," Cui'er said coldly, "It's a serious crime to disrespect the royal family."
"Haha," Zhili slapped the table and stood up, frowning angrily, but the next moment he turned his head and looked at Xia Zhaoyi, "Come on, Xiaoxia, go teach her a lesson!"
Xia Zhaoyi blinked.
Seeing this, Shen Lie stood up and said, "You can think of me as disrespectful, but you can think of me..."
"Then let's talk about it properly," Xia Zhaoyi interrupted him, put down the tea cup and followed, looking towards Cui'er, "In the sixth month of Yiyou year, Emperor Xuanyan wrote a poem in Lie Sanjiang, and "Yi Xu" came out. , the article draws on the words of many great masters in the past dynasties, who said that the people are the heaven, and the people are more valuable than the king. In the cold dew of October of the Bingxu year, when Emperor Xuanyan punished King Anchu, who had died of illness, he mentioned in the Winter Hunting Palace that people's livelihood is the most important thing. The people are the foundation of the country, and the royal family is the last."
Cui'er frowned and was stunned for a while as she watched the old man approaching.
"Listen to what you are saying now. If you don't accept the invitation and don't go to drink tea, you are disrespecting the royal family. In your opinion, are the royal family untouchable, or are the royal family easily humiliated and can be humiliated by a cup of tea?" the old man continued.
"You, who are you?" Cui'er said.
The old man smiled and said, "Let's break it apart and mash it into pieces. Let's talk slowly."
