The ace special forces of the Sui Dynasty

After a short period of confusion, Liu Ziqiu calmed down.

The foothold is not a problem. For a special soldier, where can't he find shelter in the garden pavilions of wealthy families, monasteries and Taoist temples in the suburbs, and even the front halls and back offices of the government?The key is how to find a well-informed place to find Gao Xiu'er's whereabouts.

Since ancient times, the more people gather, the better the news will be. Liu Ziqiu also understands this truth.He stepped into the east gate of Luoyang and picked people to look around.Suddenly, there is a shop with a lot of customers, but it is a wine shop, and the sign outside the door says "come drunk".

When I entered the restaurant, I didn't see the waiter coming forward to greet me, only a woman was standing at the counter.The woman was born with a fine figure and a graceful figure, she was extremely beautiful, but her face was tense, and she didn't greet guests when they came in.

Even so, the store is still full of guests and friends.There was food and drink in front of everyone, chatting about some anecdotes, but their eyes were fixed on the woman at the counter from time to time, it was obvious that the drunkard didn't care about drinking.

Liu Ziqiu's purpose is different from theirs, but this occasion is a good place to inquire about news.He straightened his clothes and walked quickly to the front of the counter, but saw that the woman didn't even look at him.Liu Ziqiu was very bored, his nose twitched, and he suddenly asked: "My lady, is there an osmanthus tree planted around here?"

There was a sneer on the corner of the woman's mouth, and she pointed to the water sign behind her, meaning that if you want to eat wine, you can order food, and if you don't order, you can leave quickly.

There was a burst of laughter from all around, and someone stood up and said: "Boy, this trick has already been used by men. Look at your shabby appearance, go away."

Liu Ziqiu squeezed his fist, but endured it.This is the foot of the emperor, not a place for him to run wild.It's just that he clearly smelled the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus, so he started to talk to the woman based on this, but he didn't expect to be ridiculed by everyone.

In desperation, Liu Ziqiu had no choice but to bite the bullet and point to the water sign, and ordered two random dishes and a pot of light wine.

There is only one vacant seat in the west corner of the store, and a burly man in his 30s is pouring himself a drink on the opposite side.Liu Ziqiu went straight over, complained and sat down.

The man looked up at Liu Ziqiu and said with a smile, "Brother also came to see Xi Shi in Yunli?"

"Beauty in the cloud?" Liu Ziqiu was about to talk to someone, he cupped his hands quickly and said, "I also ask you to teach me."

"Brother, you don't know?" The man looked at Liu Ziqiu in surprise, and said, "The so-called Xishi in the cloud is Xishi sitting in the clouds."

Liu Ziqiu became even more confused, and asked, "How do you say it?"

"You can't touch it!"

Liu Ziqiu couldn't help laughing out loud, causing all the audience to look sideways.He hastily coughed twice and said, "Brother, you are so funny."

"Hey, that's not what I said, it's what those people in the hall said." The man glanced at the counter and said, "Let me explain it to you in detail."

It turned out that the person who opened this restaurant was a shabby householder named Wang Xiaoting, and the woman at the counter was his only daughter, whose nickname was Guizhi.In terms of food and drink, it's common for this family to get drunk, but Wang Guizhi was born so beautiful that he attracted a whole bunch of children.It's just that although Wang Guizhi was as beautiful as peaches and plums, she was as cold as ice, and none of the guests could win her favor.These customers are also cheap, and they still rush to get drunk, and the business of the small shop is very hot.Wang Xiaoting simply regarded this daughter as a cash cow, and at the age of seventeen, he did not allow anyone.

At this time, a sloppy middle-aged man brought up the dishes with wine.Liu Ziqiu stretched out his chopsticks to taste it, and it really tasted like chewing gum.

"He is Wang Xiaoting." When the man talked about the excitement, he pointed to the diners in the hall and said, "Look here, there are princes and ministers, wealthy merchants and wealthy businessmen, old people, and ignorant teenagers. In order to see the beauty of Xi Shi in the cloud."

Liu Ziqiu looked around, and it was indeed so.At the next table, there was a [-] or [-]-year-old boy with a sallow complexion and sick eyes, glaring at Liu Ziqiu, presumably jealous of Liu Ziqiu's tall and handsome appearance.

The man said again: "However, I am not."

Liu Ziqiu wondered: "Then why are you here, brother?"

"I'm here to verify one thing."

"What's the matter?"

"I've heard people say that this woman has a strange fragrance, but I don't believe it, so..."

Liu Ziqiu lost his voice and said: "No wonder when I entered the store, I smelled a scent of sweet-scented osmanthus, but it turned out to be from her. She is indeed a strange woman!"

His voice was a little louder, and he had already been heard by the boy on the table next to him, and said contemptuously, "Shameless!"

Liu Ziqiu didn't come here to be jealous, so he ignored him, turned around and continued: "Brother, I may have confirmed it now, but you still stay here, I am afraid that what you said is insincere."

The man smiled and said: "No. There are scented fruits, but it is hard to say whether they come from her. Osmanthus fragrans are easy to store, even if they are put in the next year, the scent will still be there. Who can tell if she is hiding a sachet or not? "

Liu Ziqiu saw that this person was thoughtful and thoughtful, and he was definitely not an idle person, so he couldn't help but feel a sense of friendship, and quickly cupped his hands and said, "I, Liu Ziqiu, dare to ask your brother's name!"

Suddenly, the boy on the next table let out a "huh".When Liu Ziqiu turned his head to look, the boy had already turned his head away, and he didn't know if the sound was related to him.

While he was being suspicious, he heard the person on the opposite side say: "I'm Li Jing."

Liu Ziqiu was taken aback: "Could it be Mr. Li who can discuss Sun and Wu's skills? Liu has admired his name for a long time!"

"My uncle praised me back then, so what's the point?" Li Jing's expression suddenly darkened when he said this, he raised the wine glass in front of him and drank it down, sighing, "I think Li Jing has read military books and is determined to make progress. I just became a member of the driving department Uai Lang. I have no ambition to rise to the clouds, but it's a pity, it's a pity..."

Although Li Jing's current official position is humble and his talents are underappreciated, Liu Ziqiu is just a commoner. If Li Jing hadn't had a few glasses of wine, he would never have said such words to him.Liu Ziqiu knew better that if he didn't show some real kung fu that could make Li Jing fall in love, it would be difficult to make friends with him.

Thinking of this, Liu Ziqiu suddenly cupped his hands and said, "Lord Li, I have a question I want to discuss with you."

"Oh." Li Jing nodded and said, "Go ahead."

Liu Ziqiu lowered his voice and said two words: "Cavalry."

Li Jing is Wailang, a member of the driving department, and the driving department is in charge of the world's chariots and horses, so Li Jing has a lot of research on cavalry.What Liu Ziqiu said was to discuss, not ask for advice, which surprised Li Jingdun, and he couldn't help becoming interested.

Liu Ziqiu is a special soldier who can not only ride horses, but also drive tanks and planes. However, he has only seen cavalry combat in the era of cold weapons on TV.However, Liu Ziqiu knew that the most successful cavalry in history was the Mongolian cavalry under Genghis Khan who swept across Eurasia.He spoke slowly, but Li Jing nodded frequently.

Li Jing was originally a man of temperament, when he heard Liu Ziqiu talk about something wonderful, he couldn't help applauding, grabbed Liu Ziqiu's hand suddenly, and said loudly: "Good sense! If you don't give up, Jing is willing to become a brother with you!"

Liu Ziqiu was overjoyed, he got up quickly and said: "Brother, please accept my bow!"

Most of the customers in this shop came to see Xi Shi in the cloud, although they commented there, they only whispered, no one dared to make a loud noise.Only these two "heterogeneous" yelled loudly here, which immediately attracted protests.

At this time, a person came in from outside the door and said to Li Jing, "Cousin, so you are here! Brother is easy to find!"

"This is my cousin Han Shi'er." Li Jing introduced Liu Ziqiu and waved, "Cousin, come and sit here!"

Liu Ziqiu knew that this person was the son of Han Qinhu, a famous general of the Sui Dynasty, so he hurriedly greeted him.But Han Shi'er saw that he was dressed in commoner clothes, he only nodded slightly, and said to Li Jing: "Sister-in-law is looking for you everywhere, come back with me quickly, we have something important to discuss!"

Li Jing was shocked and said: "You go first, I'll come back right away. Don't let your sister-in-law know that I'm here, otherwise it will be a big disaster!"

Liu Ziqiu asked in surprise, "Elder brother is still afraid of sister-in-law?"

Li Jing laughed "hehe" and said, "I'm a bit afraid of my brother, I'm afraid of my..."

The tone didn't sound awkward, but rather proud.

Han Shi'er was about to leave, when more than a dozen people poured in from outside the door.When Han Shi'e saw the leader, he immediately became terrified, clenched his fists, and wanted to fight.Thanks to Li Jing's sharp eyes and quick hands, he grabbed him.Someone in the shop stood up and saluted, "Grandpa Xu, why are you here?"

Although Liu Ziqiu didn't know what kind of enmity Han Shi'e had with this person surnamed Xu, but since he became a brother with Li Jing, how could he stand idly by?Liu Ziqiu's figure flickered immediately, and he was already in front of Han Shi'er.

But Li Jing whispered in his ear: "My dear brother, don't be reckless! This person is a celebrity in front of the emperor, palace supervisor Xu Tingfu."

Xu Tingfu went straight to the counter as if there was no one else around, exclaimed twice, and asked, "Are you Wang Guizhi?"

Wang Guizhi ignored him, and pointed to the water sign on the wall behind, just like he did when he was questioning Liu Ziqiu.

"Interesting, interesting." Xu Tingfu laughed.That neither male nor female voice gave Liu Ziqiu goose bumps all over his body.

Wang Xiaoting just came out from behind to serve food, but he recognized Xu Tingfu, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Where is your father-in-law?"

"This is your daughter." Xu Tingfu suddenly turned his face down, and said, "We have followed the emperor's order to choose beautiful girls. Your daughter is so beautiful, she is really a rare talent, hurry up and tell her to tidy up and let us let's go."

Wang Xiaoting was shocked, shaking his hands wildly, and said repeatedly: "I can't do it, absolutely I can't do it. I only have this one daughter, and the store refers to her. If she enters the palace, how will I live? Please also ask the father-in-law..."

"This is Long Live's will, who dares to disobey!" Xu Tingfu opened his eyes wide and shouted sharply, "Come here, take it away!"

In the morning, two attendants came, rushed into the counter, put Wang Guizhi on hold and left.Wang Xiaoting pleaded bitterly, Wang Guizhi cried and cried, all the guests in the shop came to see Xishi Yunli, but no one dared to speak out.

Liu Ziqiu suddenly yelled, "Stop!"
