A knife in love

Chapter 1563

I only heard Liu Sheng Zongyan chuckle, and said in his mouth: "Young Xia Li is right. You are all rich men in the Central Plains, with vast acres of fertile land and countless gold and silver. But everyone, don't forget, you have a life to make money, and you have a life to spend it. Otherwise, if you get the money and lose your life, wouldn’t it be cheaper for others?”

When Liu Shengzongyan said this, his eyes swept over the faces of Xiao Dong, shopkeeper Hu and others, and then he continued: "Old man, I heard from rich man Yin that you encountered a big explosion at sea not long after you left Ningbo. Lost his life. Drifting all the way, going through all kinds of hardships and dangers, before reaching Dongliao County. The old man was born in Fusang, so he knows that sailing on the sea is extremely dangerous. You have only sailed out of Ningbo for a few days, and you have not seen how terrible the huge waves deep in the sea are. Old Almanac The really great monk went east to Fusang, failed five times, and only arrived at Fusang six times. He encountered many difficulties and dangers at sea, and almost lost his life several times. Even if the great monk is like this, with a dozen of you, you encountered a big storm at sea , will kill you immediately. The wind and waves sent you to Dongliao County, it was your fate, and it was your luck to meet this old man. Master Xiao, what do you think?"

Xiao Dong had already made up his mind, to push Li Qiufeng to the front in everything, and he hid behind him looking for an opportunity to escape.Therefore, after Liu Sheng Zongyan finished speaking, Xiao Dong nodded repeatedly, and said in his mouth: "Mr. Liu Sheng is very right, I have no objection."

Liu Sheng Zongyan laughed, glanced at Li Qiufeng, and then said: "In this case, we have settled the deal. I have offended you a lot in the past few days, and the old man specially prepared a little wine, as an apology to everyone."

When he said this, he waved to Shinobu Morita.Morita Shinobu walked to the door quickly, and said to several people in Tsing Yi standing outside the door: "The master ordered, put the wine and serve!"

After a while, more than a dozen women wearing togas and long sleeves walked quickly into the main hall.Some of these women held food plates in their hands, while others carried food buckets.The wine pots and dishes were placed on the food tray, and they were quietly placed on the three large round tables.Then came a few people in Tsing Yi, holding bamboo baskets in their hands, but what was inside was charcoal.The man in Tsing Yi put the charcoal into the copper hot pot and lit the fire immediately.After a while, the hot water in the hot pot boiled and gurgled.

Liu Sheng Zongyan said with a smile: "Although the old man and Li Shaoxia are knowledgeable, there have been many misunderstandings and a few fights. I am afraid that Li Shaoxia has suspicions. You may not feel at ease with the old man if you go with Li Shaoxia. If the old man rashly Inviting everyone to dinner, I can't help but make you feel uneasy, thinking that the old man has set up a Hongmen banquet to poison everyone. After thinking about it, the old man had to ask someone to set up a hot pot banquet. Hot pot is not as valuable as bird's nest and shark's fin, but fortunately, everyone is in a few When eating vegetables in hot pot, if someone poisons them, everyone will die together. Therefore, eating hot pot will show that we are affectionate, and second, we don’t have to worry about someone poisoning the pot. I know that the rich and wealthy people have a lot of money. The delicacies of mountains and seas may not put these crude meals in our village in our eyes. However, traveling thousands of miles is only for money, and I think you will not have a relationship with the old man just because of a mere meal. When we make this deal, we will sell the wine in the future Wouldn't it be nice to say that you are happy? Haha, haha."

When Liu Shengzongyan spoke, the water in more than a dozen hot pots on the three big round tables had already boiled.Liu Sheng Zongyan said: "If anyone is worried about hot pot, just change it casually."

After he finished speaking, he grabbed a pair of chopsticks on the table with his right hand, and tapped lightly twice on the hot pot in front of him, with an expression of "you might as well take it and replace it".Li Qiufeng smiled slightly, and didn't speak, but thought to himself, the old thief didn't get the things, so it stands to reason that he wouldn't kill him.However, Fusang people are insidious and cunning, and they must not be fooled.I still wait and see what happens, and don't eat or drink lightly.

Xiao Dong was as thoughtful as Li Qiufeng, seeing Liu Sheng Zongyan's appearance, his heart became more vigilant, he just sat on the chair and refused to move his chopsticks at all.

Among the shopkeepers present, shopkeeper Yin suffered the most.His ears were cut off, and the injury was not light.When he was recuperating on the ship, he was arrested by Yagyu's killers together with the big ship, and was tortured severely.If it wasn't for Liu Sheng Zongyan's wholehearted desire to get the things on the boat, he would have killed shopkeeper Yin long ago.Later, Xiao Dong and others also fell into the hands of Liu Shengzongyan, but these people took advantage of the wind and pushed the matter to Li Qiufeng, so they didn't suffer much, and shopkeeper Yin felt very dissatisfied.He has seen Liu Sheng Zongyan's vicious methods, and he knows that these Fusang people have a sweet belly sword and can do anything.Now the old devil said that he wanted to invite everyone to dinner, how could he know that he was not hypocritical and wanted to take the opportunity to poison and threaten everyone?However, Shopkeeper Yin also knew that he was already in the cave of a dragon and a tiger. He hadn't eaten anything for the past few days, and he was already dizzy from hunger. If he didn't eat any more, he might starve to death.Therefore, after listening to Liu Sheng Zongyan, no one else dared to make any changes. Only shopkeeper Yin gritted his teeth, stood up in a panic, picked up the hot pot in front of him, walked around to Liu Sheng Zongyan, and whispered After saying "offend", he put down the hot pot, picked up Liusheng Zongyan's hot pot, and hurriedly returned to his chair.

Although shopkeeper Hu and the others hadn't spoken, everyone was worried, for fear that Fusang people would poison the hot pot.But since falling into the hands of Liu Sheng's clan, he has been frightened and hasn't had enough to eat. At this time, like shopkeeper Yin, he is already starving.It's just that he kept his spirits up and swallowed wildly, so he didn't stick out the chopsticks.When shopkeeper Yin replaced Liusheng Zongyan's hot pot, shopkeeper Hu and others no longer had any scruples.Seeing that they picked up the hot pot in front of them one after another, walked around to the round table where the Fusang people sat on the left, changed all the hot pots in front of the Fusang people, and brought them back to their own table. A look of relief.

Liu Sheng Zongyan looked at shopkeeper Yin, shopkeeper Hu and others running around, with a few mocking smiles on his face.After everyone was seated again, he laughed and said: "You are welcome, you can eat as much as you like. After we are full, please ask Li Shaoxia to take out the things. We will pay with one hand and deliver with the other. After the matter is completed, the old man will respectfully send everyone out of Dongliao County, and will never break his promise."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at shopkeeper Yin, and said, "Master Yin is a straightforward person, so please pour wine for everyone."

Shopkeeper Yin is a wine lover, smelling the aroma of the wine floating in the jug, he knew it was a rare and good wine, and he was already salivating, wishing to drink a few glasses.Listening to Liu Sheng Zongyan's words, he knew that he deliberately asked himself to pour wine for everyone, and he didn't mean to belittle himself, but to let everyone know that the wine is non-toxic, so they can drink with confidence.So he didn't refuse, stood up, reached out for a pot of wine, walked quickly to Li Qiufeng's side, and said with a smile: "The villain doesn't know the identity of the adult, and I have offended you a lot along the way, please forgive me .Today I borrow flowers to present to the Buddha, the villain pours wine for the adults, and apologizes to the adults."
