The Book of Heaven

Chapter 238 Siping Tea House
Li Ping is a man with a brain, practicing martial arts did not make him stupid.

People in Zhuge's family are certainly not easy to get close to, but it also depends on the circumstances. If a group of people have drunk too much and there is a beautiful woman around them, it is easy to find a common topic and start a conversation. A conversation in which the speaker intends to listen and the listener does not.

Relying on his skillful conversation skills, Li Ping not only found out about Ma Zhao's recent situation at Zhuge's house, but even found someone to help him. He sent a message to Ma Zhao to come out when he was free tomorrow. Waiting for him in the tea shop.

After confirming that the other party would pass the news to Ma Zhao, Li Ping left the yard, walked around the street a few times, returned to the inn, and knocked on the door of Ma Zheng's room.

"nailed it?"

"Basically, Siping Tea Shop, let the subordinates go down and wait. Someone from Zhuge's family has seen you face to face with Young Master Zheng."

"Then are you sure Bo Dingtian won't recognize him?"

Ma Zheng frowned. He originally planned to change his appearance and go to Siping tea shop to wait for Ma Zhao, but Li Ping offered to let him go.

"It's definitely not unrecognizable, unless I fight him, Mr. Zheng, don't forget that his subordinates are also veterans." Li Ping chuckled, and Ma Zheng had to retreat three feet away because of the smell of alcohol all over his body.

The matter was settled in this way, Li Ping went to Siping tea shop to wait for the news, Ma Zheng responded secretly without showing his face, in case of any emergency, he could handle it.

In fact, as long as the Zhuge family didn't see through Li Ping's identity and send out the congenital offerings, even if there were any emergencies, Li Ping could solve them, and Ma Zheng was just in case.The only worry was whether Li Ping, who was drunk, would wake up in time tomorrow morning.

Siping Tea Shop is a time-honored tea shop in Fangyi County. The owner is of course a native of Fangyi County. It is said that when the Zhuge family just moved to Fangyi County, Mr. Zhuge Kongming, who was the prime minister of the empire at that time, was in Siping Tea Drink tea and chat with the owner of the tea shop.

When Mr. Zhuge Kongming finished drinking the tea and left satisfied, he suggested to the boss to change the name of the tea shop to "Siping" and personally wrote an inscription for the tea shop.

Today's Siping tea shop is no longer the tea shed in the past, and the inscription written by Mr. Zhuge Kongming has also been collected as an ancestral treasure, and the one hanging on the gate is just a copy.

Because of the inscription of Mr. Zhuge Kongming, the business of Siping Tea Shop in Fangyi County is very prosperous, but everyone who comes to Fangyi County will come to sit in the tea shop. Firstly, it is to show the respect for Mr. Zhuge Kongming Remembrance, secondly, is to show respect for Zhuge's family.

I am afraid that the old man who opened the tea shed back then would never have imagined that just because he served Mr. Zhuge Kongming to drink tea, he would form a good relationship with future generations. It can be said that as long as the owner of the Siping tea shop does not do things that violate the regulations, In Fangyi County, no one dared to think about their family - Zhuge's family would naturally watch them, if something happened to Siping Tea Shop under their noses, it would really lose the face of their ancestors.

Li Ping has never been to Siping Tea House, but he has only heard of it.

However, even Tianshui and Chengdu have a difficult opinion on the three-storey tea shop. After all, the consumption level of the tea shop is not very good. Even if it looks overcrowded, it only costs a little to sit by the window facing the street. Half a day, so in any era, teahouses can be regarded as an industry with a relatively low seat turnover rate. It is difficult to make high profits, and it takes time.

It is said that it is difficult for a three-story tea shop in a small place like Fangyi County to survive, but the Siping tea shop is an exception. Li Ping came here not too late, but the best third floor is empty, and the second floor is only Li Ping was not interested in the few remaining corners where there was no view, so he finally chose a place on the ground floor near the river. The scenery was not so good, but at least the air flowed and it was not so noisy.

Putting aside the reasons of Mr. Zhuge Kongming and Zhuge's family, Li Ping had to admit that the tea provided by the Siping tea shop was really good.Bashu has produced good tea since ancient times, especially the green and yellow herbal tea. Almost as long as there are mountains and waters, there will be good tea in its own place.

This made Li Ping very happy, after all he is also a tea lover.

A pot of clear tea with refreshments can let Li Ping pass the time slowly.Only on the ground floor can he sit in this position facing the river. If he is on the second and third floors near the river, then Li Ping might not see Ma Zhao coming in.

Ma Zhao came here after lunch, this time it wasn't because he was greedy and couldn't even take Ma Zheng's orders, it was because the guy who was drinking and having fun with Li Ping last night went back to sleep until noon and didn't wake up Fortunately, this guy didn't drink a piece of wine, he still remembered Li Ping's instructions, and found Ma Zhao who was about to finish his lunch.

So when Ma Zhao came, he was still a little anxious, afraid that he would be late, and Ma Zheng couldn't wait to leave.

But after thinking about it, since they didn't agree on a specific time, even if Ma Zheng couldn't wait, he would definitely arrange someone to wait.

So at this time Ma Zhao's expression was still calm, his figure and attire were honestly not suitable for drinking tea, but he just came and asked the second brother to come out to say hello.

The owner of the Siping tea shop is not afraid of troubles under the cover of the Zhuge family, but when there is a conflict between the guests, he will not have too many worries. He just needs to pay for the broken tables, chairs and benches. Siping tea shop is not a peace hotel.

Of course, there are often conflicts, and the unlucky person is likely to be the second brother.

"Tea guest, this way please."

The second elder brother greeted Ma Zhao in the Bashu dialect, but Ma Zhao's face remained motionless, and he didn't even turn his eyes to the second elder brother. His eyes just scanned the tea tables on the ground floor, and finally stopped at the one by the river. The desktop, to be precise, rested on Li Ping's body.

And Li Ping also saw Ma Zheng at this time, the two had met each other before, so they knew each other naturally.

"I'll go sit at that table!"

The second brother was still muttering to the side, Ma Zhao dropped a word impatiently, and walked over with big strides.

"Tea guest, tea guest, do you recognize Suo?"

"Okay, okay, little brother, please bring me another cup, we are acquaintances."

Li Ping dismissed the chattering second brother away, Ma Zhao sat down, and the bamboo chair suddenly creaked.

"only you?"

Ma Zhao looked left and right, but didn't find Ma Zheng, so he couldn't help but frowned slightly. It's not that he didn't believe in Li Ping, but as the saying goes, you must have the heart of harming others, and you must have the heart of guarding against others. Li Ping followed Ma Zheng's time It's not long, even if he doesn't want to betray Ma Zheng, there are too many ways in this world that people have to choose to betray.

"It's inconvenient for Zheng Shao to come forward. You also know that if Zhuge's family finds out that he's coming, things will be very troublesome." After the second brother brought the teacup, Li Ping began to get down to business. Ma Zhao wanted to know if Zhuge's family was the nearest What happened, the best news is accurate so that Ma Zheng can formulate countermeasures.

"I heard some news. It seems that the imperial court's demand for Zhuge Liannu has suddenly increased several times. Although the Zhuge family can prepare the raw materials, there are far from enough craftsmen."

"any left?"

Li Ping silently wrote it down and asked.

"What about him?"

Ma Zhao didn't answer the question, he didn't see that Ma Zheng always felt uneasy.

"Look over there."

Li Ping smiled slightly and pointed his finger to the other side of the river. When his eyes followed suit, his face suddenly changed color!
