Looking at the collection in the house, Li Tian really didn't know what to give as a gift. He couldn't give another two kilograms of pine seeds.
"Guo Jing, what do you martial arts practitioners like?" It seems like I'd better ask the martial arts practitioners.
"Sir, the biggest preference for martial arts practitioners is to have a good weapon."
"Yes, when it comes to weapons, I have a peerless sword on me. Its name is the 'Slaying Dragon Sword'!" After Li Tian finished speaking, a sword slipped into his hand with a swipe.
"Sir, is this a pedicure knife?" Guo Jing looked at the knife in Li Tian's hand and asked in confusion.
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. This is a good knife that I asked the dwarves to forge with black iron experts. Did you look at it? There are words on it. I asked them to carve it with the words "Dragon Slaying Knife".
"
"But...but I don't think it can even kill a chicken."
"No, you are wrong, it! Not only can it kill chickens, but it can also shave beards. It is also a must-have when traveling."
"I think you'd better forget it. It's best to give him a bigger knife."
"He already has the big one. The sword has been with him for so many years. It would be a waste to give him another one. No way." Li Tian immediately rejected Guo Jing's suggestion.
"Then why not give me a secret book of unparalleled martial arts. Martial arts practitioners will definitely be happy when they see this."
"Oh my god, please, if I could give it to him, I would have gone to practice a long time ago. Use your brain, okay?" Hey, with this IQ, he must have been kicked by a donkey, and the evaluation is completed.
Guo Jing was a little embarrassed by what Li Tian said, so she stood there without saying anything.
Hey! Forget it, let's think about it slowly. If it doesn't work, just give some souvenirs. I can't bear to give money anyway.
Early the next morning, Li Tian wore one of the most popular male shirts in the world, took Guo Jing and four members of the lizard tribe, left the inn, and went straight to the residence of Marquis Wang Ping. In fact, officials from other places rarely live in inns.
Most of them bought private houses in the capital. When they entered the capital, they reported the news at the official station and then returned to their private houses to wait for the emperor's edict.
Yesterday, Li Tian sent someone to take the two ladies back, and he just wanted to explore the road. After a while, the car stopped in front of a quiet courtyard, and Guo Jing stepped forward and knocked on the door to report.
"The Governor of Chaodu, Lord Li Tian, has paid a visit to Marquis Wang Ping and please inform him."
Now that Li Tian is also a governor, he just wants to be courteous first and then fight, but it doesn't work. As soon as Wang Ping leaves the capital, he starts to rob people. Li Tian has 300 masters under his command, including 60 elites from the six major clans, plus some
Even if a gangster 'Martial Emperor' steals it secretly, old man Wang Ping won't know who did it. When the rice is cooked, it depends on what you, old guy, will do. This time Li Tian is determined to get it.
Keep the sisters.
Li Tian winked at the four lizard tribesmen, and the four of them stuck to the outer wall of the small courtyard, and their bodies immediately turned into the color of the wall. Even though it was daytime, you couldn't tell if you weren't paying attention. Several of them looked like geckos.
He climbed up the wall and turned over and entered the courtyard.
After a while, a porter came to Li Tian and said, "Master Li, our master has invited you." After saying this, he led the way with his hand.
When he came to the living room, Wang Ping was wearing a military officer's official uniform and standing there with a gloomy face. When he saw Li Tian and Guo Jing come in, he didn't even greet them and stood there motionless.
Li Tian held the courtesy of a junior and knelt down and kowtowed: "Junior Li Tian kowtows to the lord. Since I left Pingdu last time, I miss my hometown day and night. It's really good to be at home for a thousand days, but it's hard to go out for a while. Is the water in my hometown sweet? Isn't it sweet?"
Dear hometown people. It’s like the spring breeze to see your lord in the capital today. My nephew’s eyes are filled with tears. My lord~~ you have lost weight. People like you who have dedicated their whole lives for Da’an are really hard to find in the world. They are the best in the world.
A role model, a role model for future generations, you will always live in my heart." I fainted, and Li Tian was praised to death.
As the saying goes, reach out and don't hit someone with a smiling face. Originally, Wang Ping wanted to give Li Tian a show of strength and give Li Tian some color. But he was so confused by the praises that he sang that he really didn't know what to say. He wanted to say something before meeting him.
Not a single word could come out.
"Ah! Well, ~~Um~~ you sit down, sit down, come and watch the tea."
Marquis Wang Ping himself felt strange. He originally wanted to give him a slap in the face as soon as they met, so that Li Tian would retreat. Unexpectedly, he would have to sit down and watch tea, and some of the words he had thought of could not be used now.
, I didn’t know what to say at once, I just looked at Li Tian awkwardly.
"Lord, after leaving Pingdu, Li Tian did not embarrass you. He accidentally became the number one scholar and was appointed an unusual governor. Although the official is not small, the place is a bit poor. So, this time,
I didn't bring anything good, just a small gift. Please don't take offense. Guo Jing, present the gift." Li Tian showed a sincere smile on the surface, but this gift made him feel distressed all night.
"Well, these~ are all our own, why are you so polite?" Wang Ping said a word of greeting, but he didn't take the gift to heart.
Guo Jing opened the gift box and took out the gift. It turned out to be an animal skin, but it was not an ordinary animal skin.
As a marquis, Wang Ping was well-informed. When he first saw this animal skin, he was stunned. He reached out and gently unfolded the animal skin, and his lips trembled a little with excitement.
No wonder Wang Ping was excited. To be precise, this is a piece of pure white tiger skin that is spotless. In Da'an, tiger skin is very precious, and pure white tiger skin is just a legendary thing. It is said that using white tiger skin
Make a big cloak out of skin and put it on your body, it can exorcise evil spirits and protect you from all kinds of poisons.
"How can I be so embarrassed, my dear nephew, how could I accept such an expensive gift?" Although Wang Ping said this, he still held on to the tiger skin in his hand.
Li Tian originally wanted to give this thing to the prince, hoping to gain some benefits in the future. Unexpectedly, the arrival of Ruyan and Ruyu disrupted his plan. In order to deceive his two wives, he finally gritted his teeth and
It was given to Wang Ping. If Wang Ping still disagreed, he would have no choice but to rob it.
It cannot be said that there are no honest officials in the world, but honest officials will be tempted when they see rare treasures, let alone Wang Ping.
"Uncle, please don't be polite. In Da'an, you are the most powerful general and ### is the king of beasts. I think you are the only one worthy of this tiger skin." Li Tian also used the title "Uncle".
When the lord was changed to an uncle, he almost became a father-in-law.
The old guy was very understanding and said: "Then I'm not polite. Li Tian, you are now the youngest governor of Da'an, and you are the all-powerful governor. You have military and political power in one hand, which can be said to be equivalent to the power of a lord. So.
, I agree to your marriage, haha, if I really didn’t agree, those two girls wouldn’t annoy me to death.”
A tiger skin in exchange for two wives is a fairly profitable deal. After the old guy dies, this thing will still belong to Li Tian.
After this incident, the identity was finally decided. As for the wedding date, Wang Ping meant that Li Tian was still young and had just entered the officialdom. It was best to practice his career for two years before marrying him. But he also agreed with Li Tian's idea.
My opinion is that the two daughters are allowed to visit Li Tian’s Chaodu, but they must go and return quickly.
Li Tian didn't see Ruyan and Ruyu. He had dinner at Wang Ping's place before returning to the inn. He sang a nourishing ditty along the way, and Guo Jing also recruited four lizard tribesmen back.
When Li Tian came to the capital this time, he felt that the biggest gain was that he met Ruyan and Ruyu again, and they also confirmed their identities.
Guo Jing looked at Li Tian who was in high spirits and said, "Sir, the day after tomorrow is the day of the Crown Prince Ceremony, and it's time to present our congratulatory gifts."
"Oh, if you don't tell me, I have forgotten. This is a big deal. The prince will be the future emperor. We are poor, but we must not be looked down upon by others. I am also a governor, don't you think so."
"Yes, you must not let others underestimate you." Guo Jing said in agreement.
Li Tian thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "For the sake of the future emperor, let's shed some blood this time. Someone, take my name card to the palace and present the gift list."
The prince has not yet married, so he lives in the palace without a separate courtyard.
Guo Jing quickly called a dozen of his subordinates, waiting for orders.
"Just give me a hundred pounds of pine seeds."
"Sir? Is there more?" Guo Jing was still waiting for the next step.
"No, that's a lot. Others only have one or two kilograms."
Oh my god? A prince only gave away a hundred kilograms of pine nuts. If people knew this, they would laugh to death. Besides, pine nuts are not a good thing in Chaozhou. In the big forest, even a woman can pick ten kilograms of them in a day.
How many kilograms.
Although there were few things, some people were happy to see them. When His Majesty saw that Li Tian's gift list only said one hundred kilograms of pine nuts, he laughed on the spot. He also circulated the gift list to the princes and princesses, and others looked at it.
It was all filled with laughter.
Princess Yi Ling smiled and said: "Father, I heard that this Li Tian is a great talent. If you can give me such a small gift and the civil and military officials won't laugh to death, I think you can give it to me as a snack. I'll see you someday.
When you see him, ask him to play a piece and see if it is as good as outsiders say."
"Oh, my Yi Ling also knows about Li Tian? Have you fallen in love with him? Do you want your father to marry you?" The emperor looked at his most beloved daughter and said with a smile.
"Father, you made fun of your daughter again. I'm going to complain to my mother." After saying that, he ran away with a red face.
