Water Margin: You dog official, you still say you don’t know martial arts?

Chapter 491: Unable to restrain Li Yuhou, the talented and affectionate Li Shishi [3 more]

Yan Qing sat down, and while waiting for tea to be served, Li Yuhou enthusiastically asked Yan Qing about his well-being.

Yan Qing actually had the illusion that he was at home.

"Little brother, is my brother doing well in Gaizhou?"

Li Yuhou asked about Liu Gao with great concern.

"A narrow escape from death!"

Yan Qing said with a serious look.

Li Yuhou asked quickly: "Where did you get this from?"

"When my master arrived in Gaizhou, there were only 3,000 soldiers available, and Magistrate Hu escaped..."

Yan Qing processed the matter artistically:
"My master used the strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain, fishing in troubled waters, and capturing the thief and the king!
"Blah blah blah, with only 3,000 men and horses we defeated the rebel army of 180,000!
"He beheaded more than 10,000 people, and my master even personally beheaded the pseudo-governor Cai Qing!"

"puff--"

Li Yuhou spit out a mouthful of Laoyin tea:
"Little brother, do you want to say it again?"

Yan Qing blushed: "It was my master's retainer Lu Qilin who beheaded the pseudo-governor Cai Qing..."

Li Yuhou opened his eyes wide: "Are the others all true?
"Don't play tricks on me, I'm not an outsider!
"Your master is as close to me as a brother!"

Yan Qing: "More real than pearls!"

"pearl?"

Li Yuhou opened his notebook and asked, "Where are the pearls?"

Yanqing: (_)
"Here it is!"

Yan Qing opened his hand like a magic trick, and a big pearl appeared in his hand:

"Yu Hou, your pearl!"

"Oh--"

Li Yuhou took it with a smile:
“Little brother, your master has just taken office in Gaizhou, and he has been promoted out of turn.

"It's unlikely that he will make any move in the short term. What exactly is he thinking?"

Yan Qing smiled and said: "My master said that Tian Hu provoked him, and he must kill Tian Hu!

"But Tian Hu's sphere of influence includes the four states of Weisheng, Fenyang, Zhaode, and Jinning. Yu Hou, what do you think..."

Crazy?
Li Yuhou was stunned:

"Others are already hiding, why is your master so desperate?"

Yan Qing blinked his eyes: "What do you think?"

"Oh--"

Li Yuhou thought about it for a moment and then figured it out:

"I understand, your master wants to...

"30-70 split!"

Although he didn't know what Li Yuhou was talking about, Yan Qing still echoed:

"Yu Hou is indeed insightful!"

"Hey! These are all our leftovers!"

Li Yuhou laughed:
"When a new official takes office, he must be clever... he must win over others... he must pay taxes and donate money...

“The final split is 30-70!
“But it’s usually the county magistrate who plays it that way.

"Tell your master that that's enough, don't play too big!

"When he got to the position of prefect, there were too many people watching him!"

Yan Qing: “Yes, yes, yes…”

Li Yuhou patted Yan Qing on the shoulder:

"Well, let him wait for news about your master's matter!"

Yan Qing bowed quickly and said, "Thank you, Yuhou!"

After Yan Qing left, Li Yuhou was admiring the pearl happily when he suddenly heard a cough behind him!
Li Yuhou was stiff for no more than a second, then he turned around and nodded and bowed, his face full of flattery:
“En Xiang, the big fat sheep of Qingzhou is here to give gifts again!
"This big pearl is of top quality. I was just thinking of giving it to Prime Minister..."

As Li Yuhou spoke, he presented the big pearl with both hands with a painful look on his face.

The person coughing behind him was Gao Qiu, the Grand Marshal of the Palace Marshal's Office.

Gao Qiu took the big pearl with a smile, and while playing with it he asked Li Yuhou:
"Such a top-notch product, are you willing to give it to me?"

"I'm willing to give it up!" Li Yuhou said repeatedly:

“Not to mention a pearl, even if Prime Minister En wants my entire fortune, I will give it to him!
"Without the support of my Excellency, I wouldn't be where I am today!"

“You don’t have to give away your entire fortune!
"But this pearl is in your hand, and you can't control it."

Gao Qiu took the pearl in his hand and asked Li Yuhou:
"What does the big fat sheep want this time?"

I can't control myself, but you can?
Li Yuhou was also drunk, but he still honestly repeated what Yan Qing said to Gao Qiu.

"30-70 split?"

After listening to this, Gao Qiu stroked his beard and shook his head:

"I think he's too impatient!"

Li Yuhou was stunned: "Why is he so anxious?"

"You need to practice more!"

Gao Qiu smiled and shook his head, then walked away playing with the big pearl...

Li Yuhou: (_)
……

In the misty drizzle, Yan Qing walked out of the palace and came to a street filled with the scent of rouge!
At a glance, both sides of the street are hung with Yanyue signs!

Yan Qing arrived at a brothel with ease. On the doorplate was read "The Fairy of Singing and Dancing, the Most Romantic and Romantic Flower and Moon".

After entering, Yan Qing saw a beautiful woman lazily reclining on a small bed made of nanmu wood with exquisite carvings in the patio.

The stunning beauty squinted her eyes and looked at the pink wall. It was unclear whether she was taking a nap in front of the wall or repeatedly savoring a short poem written on the wall.

The flickering red candles, the dripping rain, the laziness of the beauty, and the small poem on the pink wall together form a poetic and picturesque picture.

Yan Qing stopped, fearing that he would disturb the person in the painting.

The rain stopped.

The stunning beauty woke up from her dream and sighed softly:
"…Now I am listening to the rain under the monk’s hut, my temples are already gray.

"Joys and sorrows are always merciless, let the raindrops fall on the steps until dawn..."

When they first met, because of her age, the stunning beauty was most relatable to the first sentence.

But for some reason, after tasting it carefully, I feel that the latter part has more and more artistic conception.

The further you go, the more artistic conception it becomes.

Especially the words "joys and sorrows, separations and reunions are always merciless, just let the raindrops fall on the steps until dawn" made her feel most melancholy.

So whenever it rains, the stunning beauties like to lie here and take a nap with poetry as their pillow.

I don’t know what kind of man is able to write this little poem…

Sitting up, she stretched lazily, and turned her head to see:
"Xiao Zhang Xian, when did you come?"

Yan Qing saluted quickly:

"I just came here, ma'am, sorry to bother you!"

It turns out that this stunning beauty is Li Shishi, the most famous prostitute in the Song Dynasty!
Li Shishi couldn't help asking Yan Qing:
"Xiao Zhang Xian, do you recognize the person who wrote the poem?"

"Recognize it!"

Yan Qing said seriously:
"To be honest with you, the person who wrote the poem is my master!"

Li Shishi's eyes lit up: "Who is your master?"

Yan Qing lowered his voice and said, "Liu Gao, the governor of Gaizhou!"

"It's him?"

Li Shishi didn't expect that she was quite familiar with it!
Yan Qing was stunned: "Madam, do you know my master?"

"know."

Li Shishi admitted it immediately, and when she saw Yan Qing was surprised, she smiled and said:
"I have heard the officials talk about your master."

"Really?"

Yan Qing was overjoyed and asked immediately:
"What did the officials say about my master?"

"That's not something you can ask..."

Li Shishi asked back with a smile:
"Your master has already taken office in Gaizhou, why are you in Tokyo?"

Yan Qing: "The child has no mother, it's a long story..."
