Chapter 360 A Big Gamble

"It's a pity that you are going to die!"

After Jin Nu finished speaking, he stopped talking. Whoever touched Ran Ming must die.

Iron Slave opened the door and strode forward.

Most of the curtains in the private room were drawn, making it appear dimly lit, and the furnishings were also very simple.

There is only a small table and two cushions, and a woman is standing in front of the window like a boudoir, staring out from the corner of the curtain.

"Queen Mother, they are here!" The hunchbacked eunuch Mu Lang reminded the woman in a low voice.

Chu Suanzi turned her head and smiled slightly. Xuan Suanzi was a beautiful mature woman, and her smile made people feel like a spring breeze.

Usually a woman who smiles makes people feel her beauty.And Chu Suanzi is the best among them.

Chu Suanzi said to Jin Nu and Tie Nu, "You two generals, do you know Ai Jia?"

Jin Nu and Tie Nu were more concerned about etiquette, and they made a military salute: "Foreign ministers see the Queen Mother!"

Chu Suanzi said: "This is not a big house, don't worry about it so much, just sit down wherever you want!"

Jin Nu and Tie Nu gently sat down on the brocade pier in front of Xuan Suanzi.Chu Suanzi rushed out the door and said, "Serve tea!"

Just as Chu Suanzi finished speaking, two beauties in high-necked court attire slowly entered with a tray.

In fact, before the invention of fried tea technology in the Tang Dynasty, people drank tea by boiling it.The so-called brewing tea is to smash the steamed tea leaves and put them in a teapot to boil.Of course, green onions, ginger, salt, garlic, etc. are also added.In the Tang Dynasty, because the royal family Li was of Xianbei descent, they liked to add butter or mare's milk when drinking tea.

In fact, you don’t need to drink it. You can know what the taste of tea leaves, salt, onion, ginger, garlic, butter, and mare’s milk will be based on imagination.To put it in a bad way, if you have a shallow stomach, you may not be able to drink it.

At this time, one of the two beauties in palace costumes was kneeling in front of the short table, carefully boiling water with charcoal.The other is to light an incense burner on the table.Amidst the lingering sandalwood fragrance, a woman in a palace costume caresses a Yaoqin.

Although the tea ceremony was invented in ancient China, it is very sad that these things have almost been lost in today's China.However, in the second year of Shaoxi in the Southern Song Dynasty (1191 A.D.), the Japanese monk Eisai brought tea seeds back to Japan from China, and since then Japan began to grow tea everywhere.Now, the tea ceremony has become the quintessence of the Japanese people.

Ran Ming didn't know that because of the appearance of this otherworldly butterfly, the method of frying tea appeared earlier, which made the Chinese tea ceremony decline even earlier.

The ancient Chinese cultural thought upholds a concept of being close to nature, so everything has the means of self-cultivation, more importantly.

Tea ceremony is a kind of spiritual enjoyment and an art.

The melody played by the court lady has a simple and sweet sound, which calms people's impetuous mood.Another maid brought clean water for Jin Nu and Iron Nu to wash their hands.

Although Jin Nu and Tie Nu are iron-blooded men, they are no longer reckless young men, and a mature and stable temperament is revealed in them.

Chu Suanzi didn't say anything more, the sound of the piano remained the same, and the sound of the palace maid's piano was like a pair of invisible hands, which could soothe the restlessness in the soul.

There was a gurgling sound in the teapot, and the beautiful woman in palace costume who was boiling water lifted the lid with her left hand, and with a slight shake of her right hand, a white light fell into the teapot.

Both the gold slave and the iron slave were sitting like wooden stakes, looking at their noses with their eyes and mind with their noses, as if they were old monks in meditation.

The technique of the tea ceremony is a bit cumbersome and very particular, just like the scene we often see in film and television dramas, ordering tea.Usually, the pot is used to pour water into the teacup.

When pouring water, be restrained, and the point where the water falls must be accurate, so as not to damage the tea surface.

At the same time, the other hand should use the tea whisk to rotate, hit and flick the tea soup in the tea cup to make it appear soup flowers, which is called Yunwhip or blow whisk.

In today's society, people's life rhythm is obviously tight. I am afraid that no one will spend an hour or more to come up with a whole set of tea ceremony procedures just to drink a sip of tea.

Finally the tea was boiled, and the beauty in palace costume gently brought two cups of tea to Jin Nu and Tie Nu.

Xuan Suanzi said softly: "Ai's health is not good, the imperial doctor said it is not easy to drink more tea, you don't have to worry about it, you can do whatever you want!"

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for the tea."

Speaking of which, Jin Nu and Tie Nu picked up the teacups and poured the tea directly into their mouths regardless of whether the tea was hot or not.

The color of Chu Suanzi's mouth turned into an arc. The freshly brewed tea soup was basically close to the temperature of boiling water. Ordinary people would burn their hands if they held the tea cup directly. These two poured it directly into their mouths.

But after thinking about it, Chu Suanzi felt distressed again. Such a long time of preparation was like chewing peonies.

Jin Nu got up and said: "The queen mother, give me tea, and the foreign ministers also drank it! If there is nothing wrong, please redeem the queen mother, and let the foreign ministers leave!"

Chu Suanzi felt a punch on the cotton, very depressed.

Of course, there was no cotton in this era.

Chu Suanzi smiled, and went straight to the topic: "This time King Jiaodong was assassinated in Jiankang, Aijia guessed that Master Wei might have misunderstood Aijia."

Jin Nu and Tie Nu didn't answer Chu Suanzi's words, which made Chu Suanzi discouraged for a while.

Fortunately, she is a woman who is used to strong winds and waves, and she has a tough mind, which is extraordinary.

Chu Suanzi said again: "The Jin and Wei countries are the masters of the north and the south. If there is a war, the people of the world will suffer. Therefore, Aijia hopes that the Jin and Wei countries can put aside the past."

Jin Nu narrowed his eyes and said slowly, "Then it depends on the sincerity of the Empress Dowager?"

"Sincerity?" Chu Suanzi was not surprised, after all, Ran Ming's injury must have been at her behest.Originally, Chu Suanzi wanted to use this matter to test Ran Min's bottom line.Now that Jin Nu brought it up, she took advantage of the situation and asked, "What kind of sincerity does Master Wei want?"

If the State of Wei attacked the State of Jin at this time, according to common sense, they would join forces with Huan Wen to attack Jin. In this world, except for Huan Wen and her, no one knew that she and Huan Wen were actually partners.

The master behind Huan Wen is Chu Suanzi.As long as Ran Min and Huan Wen attack Jin, Chu Suanzi will have a chance to defeat Ran Min.From Chu Suanzi's perspective, it is not difficult to see that the later Wei Guo attacked Jin, the less likely the Jin Dynasty would win.

However, Ran Min did not accept the move, but ordered Jin Nu and Tie Nu to bring "deaf and dumb" to Jiankang for a big fight.Chu Suanzi had to consider resolving this matter at this time. The shadow group was her means of controlling the nobles and officials of the Jin Dynasty. If the shadow group was removed by Ran Min, she would be three points weaker in controlling the Jin Dynasty's government .

"Those who participated in the assassination of His Royal Highness Jiaodong must die, including this woman!" Tie Nu pointed at Minako Yichuan.

Chu Suanzi shook his head and said, "Minako is the confidant of Aijia, she can't die. You can change the way, maybe money or other things can replace Aijia's sincerity!"

Jin Nu got up and said coldly: "If that's the case, let the ministers leave!"

Chu Suanzi sat there, closed his eyes, and stopped talking.

As Chu Suanzi's confidant, Minako Yichuan couldn't understand what Chu Suanzi meant.She stood up suddenly.With a flick of the big sleeves, all the dark blue palace attire on his body was removed at once, and he was replaced by a strong black attire.

Tie Nu disdainfully said: "It's such a small skill, what's the use of holding teeth."

Chu Suanzi said in a low voice: "Ai's family is tired, let's go back first!"

The old eunuch Mu Lang supported Chu Suanzi and left slowly.

"The Queen Mother, please slow down!"

Chu Suanzi looked at Jin Nu and said, "Why do you still want to offend Ai's family?"

"How dare!" Jin Nu said how dare, but actually he didn't mean to dare at all.Jin Nu said: "I just want to hear a story from the Queen Mother!"

Chu Suanzi smiled and said, "The Ai family likes listening to stories the most."

Jin Nu said: "In the first year of the Qinglong, the stone thief ordered General Sun Fudu of Longxiang to lead [-] soldiers to ambush behind the Hanyuan Hall, intending to harm my lord."

Chu Suanzi waved his hand and said, "You mean, the Ai family can't do anything but wait?"

"That's right!" Tie Nu said, "The Empress Dowager ambushed a lot of men in this Anxi teahouse, but it's far less than three thousand soldiers!"

Chu Suanzi smiled, and said, "You don't have the courage of Lord Wei."

"But the Empress Dowager doesn't have an enemy like Sun Fudu!" Jin Nu said: "Although Sun Fudu can't defeat someone, he can at least entangle someone without being able to clone himself."

Chu Suanzi sneered and said, "How do you know that the Ai family has no enemies?"

"The Queen Mother insists on keeping me waiting?" Jin Nu asked back.

Chu Suanzi said: "The Ai family doesn't believe that the two of you can kill 3000 people. Even that night, the three of you, master and servant, didn't kill many people."

"It's not that many people were killed." Jin Nu said, "A certain person killed 140 people at that time."

Tie Nu said: "I am even less, only 120 and three people. In fact, the Lord didn't kill many people, only 310 and four people. When the Lord cut off Sun Fudu's head, the battle was over!"

Jin Nu smiled and said, "What does the Empress Dowager mean to try?"

"Try it!" Chu Suanzi said: "But today is no better than that day. Although the Ai family does not have generals like Sun Fudu, you also don't have your purple silk armor and weapons. What can you do to fight?" A family fight?"

Chu Suanzi knew that Ran Ming had to come up with a confession when he was assassinated, but a weak country has no diplomacy, Chu Suanzi is also very clear about this reason.

Ran Ming couldn't move, so he lured Jin Nu and Tie Nu to come.The two of them and Ran Min are named master and servant, but in fact, they have an irreversible relationship. Ran Min has always regarded Jin Nu and Tie Nu as right and left hands.

Once the gold slave and the iron slave are captured, Ran Min can be forced to make concessions.

Of course, how Ran Min will react is still unknown.

Chu Suanzi was also betting that Ran Min cared about the lives of Jin Nu and Tie Nu.

Jin Nu's expression darkened: "What the Empress Dowager said is very true, but our Great Wei has no soldiers waiting to die, only heroes who died in battle."

Before the pronunciation of Xiongzi fell, Jin Nu's body jumped up, like a big bird, and rushed towards Chu Suanzi.

In this case, unless it is to capture the thief and capture the king, there is no chance of winning.

Just like Zhao Zilong can kill seven in and seven out of Cao Jun, relying on the solidity of the armor and the speed of the horse, of course, personal force is indispensable.If you let him fight without armor, 100 people can kill him.

Minako Yichuan pulled away to stop Jin Nu, but Tie Nu strode forward: "Your opponent is me!"
