Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 424 Ya Ling
Li Xin was regretting asking Zhu Dong for advice, and then being challenged by that bastard Yang Zheng made him even more annoyed. How should he respond?
Someone came to his rescue and said, "President Zhu's plan will not work. Pirates have been rampant for a long time. It is not something that happened overnight. It is difficult to fundamentally solve the problem by simply relying on a bandit suppression team selected from the militia."

Yang Zheng wanted to curse, but he didn't want to solve the problem. He just wanted to expand his power and keep the military power firmly in his own hands.

Who is this bastard who ruins his business?
I looked around, but didn't see anyone.

"Who was speaking just now? Do you have any good ideas? Come out and tell us." Yang Zheng asked with a fake smile on his face.

But no one answered him, so Yang Zheng continued, "Everyone, we are now facing a serious threat from pirates. This is a matter of great importance to the peace of our coastal people and the safety of Tianxing Prefecture. Since Zhu Tongpan's proposal is insufficient, we should brainstorm and work together to come up with a more comprehensive countermeasure."

Still no one answered, Yang Zheng couldn't hear it, but Li Xin could tell it was Luo's voice, and he also saw that Luo Hai was not with Yun Hao just now.

Not long after Luo Hai finished speaking, he returned to his original position.

Li Xin smiled slightly and said, "Lord Yang, it is better to go back to the government office to discuss this kind of major bandit suppression. There are many people in this restaurant and they are talkative. If the pirates hear about it and they are prepared, it will be even more difficult to eliminate them. What do you think, Lord Yang?"

"Master Yun is right. Let's not talk about suppressing bandits today. Let's drink." Yang Zheng raised his glass, "I toast to everyone."

"Please, sir." Everyone raised their glasses, including Yun Hao and Luo Hai. Of course, they did not drink it all, but just took a sip.

After a round of drinking, Yang Zheng, who considered himself a scholar, followed the advice of his lackey, "Drinking too much makes you sober and tastes boring. Lord Yun, why don't we have a refined feast?"

"The guest should follow the host's wishes." Li Xin said with a smile.

"What word shall we take as our order?" Yang Zheng has always been arbitrary and self-determined, but in front of Li Xin he has to pretend to be humble and willing to listen to other people's opinions.

"Sir, Tianxing Prefecture is by the sea, why not use the word 'sea' as the order?" one of the lackeys suggested.

Another lackey didn't want him to be the only one to take the spotlight, so he quickly said, "Sir, I think the word 'sea' is too boring. Why don't we use the word 'sea' as the main character and add a random word to compose a poem to help with the drinking."

"What does Lord Yun think of this order?" Yang Zheng asked Li Xin for his opinion again.

Li Xin smiled, "This is a great order. It not only shows literary talent, but also adds to the fun of drinking."

"As the host, I will throw out some ideas and start with them." Yang Zheng drank from the door cup, "The sea is the order and the wind is the medium. When the wind blows, the waves roll like thousands of troops, unstoppable. I wrote a poem with this as the title: 'The wind rises and the clouds surge, the waves roll up, and the snow flies. With lofty ambitions and a fearless heart, I ride the wind and waves and soar.'"

"Good! Lord Yang is indeed talented." Li Xin praised with a smile.

Others also applauded and praised his talent, "Your Excellency's poem is magnificent and magnificent, it is really a masterpiece."

Yang Zheng smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed but he said modestly: "It's just a game, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning."

Then he looked at Li Xin, "Lord Yun, it's up to you from now on."

Li Xin did not refuse, picked up the cup, drank the wine, and said: "Then I will show my ugliness, with the sea as the order and the water as the medium. The water flows long, the sea is boundless, reflecting the afterglow of the setting sun in the sky. I will write a poem with this quiet and deep sea as the theme: 'The water and the sky are one color reflecting the sunset, and the waves gently caress the sand on the shore. The quiet and deep heart is far away, and the sea and the sky are vast and I can go wherever I want.'"

"Excellent! Excellent!" Yang Zheng praised repeatedly, "Lord Yun's poem not only describes the vastness of the sea, but also depicts the human state of mind. It is truly unique."

"Thank you for the compliment." Li Xin picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth. Fortunately, he remembered the poem that Lord Yun had recited, otherwise he would have been embarrassed this time.

Looking closely, Yun Hao and Luo Hai were no longer in their seats. They must have quietly left. The atmosphere of the banquet became more lively because of the two people's poetry. The next person to recite poetry was the prefect of Tianxing Prefecture. Yang Zheng was all-powerful in Tianxing Prefecture, and the prefect of Tianxing Prefecture was quite frustrated.

Later, in order to keep his official position and save his life, he had to go along with Yang Zheng.

"I will also try it, using the sea as the command and the seagulls as the matchmaker. The seagulls soar, the sea surface sparkles, like silk spread out. The sea breeze blows, the seagulls cry, it is refreshing. I wrote a poem with this soaring seagull as the theme: 'The seagulls dance and reflect the sea light, the wind blows and the waves surge up thousands of lines. The vast sky is unrestrained, soaring freely to the east and west.'

As soon as the prefect's poem came out, everyone nodded in praise. Although it was not as profound as Li Xin's, it also painted a vivid sea view.

Next, everyone used "sea" as their command and added a word to make elegant orders. The atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

The banquet lasted until 3:15 pm, when everyone was drunk.

"Lord Yun, Lord Yun, are you okay?" Yang Zheng asked Li Xin, who was drunk and drowsy in his chair.

Li Xin opened his eyes and glanced at Yang Zheng, "Master Yang, I'm not drunk, keep drinking."

"Lord Yun, you are drunk. Let me help you up." Yang Zheng raised the corners of his lips. A person who doesn't even know the limit of drinking is nothing to be afraid of.

Wu Cheng stepped forward to support Li Xin, "Master Yang, please let me take care of you."

Yang Zheng nodded slightly and made way.

Qin Yi held Li Xin's other arm, and the two of them helped Li Xin out of the restaurant and into the carriage.

Back at the Governor's Mansion, Li Xin was helped into the guest room by Wu Cheng and Qin Yi. Once the door was closed, the drunkenness on his face disappeared. "The sobering pills that the Lord gave me are quite useful."

"I heard it was done by the young lady." Wu Cheng sat down at the table.

Qin Yi took out a simple map of the Governor's Mansion from his pocket and spread it on the table. "I have asked around. These three places are suspicious. The three of us will go to one place each."

"Li Xin, go to room one. Room one is closer to the guest rooms. If anyone is alarmed, you can come back quickly and cover up for us."

"Okay, no problem." Li Xin is using Yun Hao's identity, so he can come forward to deal with people.

"Wu Cheng, you are the best fighter, so you go to room 3, which is the farthest away. If anyone is alarmed, you can go to the kitchen to find food. Just say that the master is hungry after getting drunk and vomiting, and you come to find someone to cook for him." Qin Yi thought everything over and arranged everything properly.

"No problem." Wu Cheng nodded.

"I'll go to Room 2. If anyone is disturbed, I'll go to Zhangtaiyuan and say that I drank a little and had some sexual desires, so I went to sleep with a woman."

"Qin Yi, you are ruthless." Li Xin gave a thumbs up.

Wu Cheng also nodded in agreement.

"We have to be ruthless to get out, otherwise the three of us will be trapped here." Qin Yi handed the blueprint to the two of them, "I have also drawn the route, we will act at midnight."

"Got it." Li Xin and Wu Cheng responded.
