"Lu Guogong, can you stop laughing?" Pei Xingjian said nervously.

"Chu Mo, you bastard!" Cheng Yaojin slapped the table and said, "This bastard actually delivered it to Gu Qing's door!"

Pei Xingjian smiled at the side, very embarrassed.

Cheng Yaojin waited for Pei Xingjian with big eyes and said, "What the hell do you think Gu Qing became?"

Pei Xingjian knew that Cheng Yaojin didn't dare to do anything to him, at least Cheng Yaojin's son stood up in his teacher's hands and said, "Lu Guogong, if you want to kill, you have to do whatever you want."

Cheng Yaojin slammed the wine bowl in his hand and said, "Then the old man is coming!"

In Ganlu Hall, Li Chengqian summoned Chu Suiliang, Shangguanyi, and Pei Xingjian, but they did not come for a long time.Looking at the two of them, he said first, "Songtsen Gampo's letter has arrived, and I feel that the situation in the West is imminent. How much do you know about Rome?"

Shangguanyi stepped forward and said, "When I was in the Maritime Trade Department, I knew many business people. These people knew some western rumors, but I heard that Rome is a very far away country, and the Romans like it. With gold coins, the strength is also the strongest in the West today. There are two strongest countries in the West today. One is Dashi. It’s just that after several battles between our Tang Dynasty and Dashi, Dashi also began to dormant.

"The strongest country in the West." Interest came to Li Chengqian's eyes.

"Your Majesty!" Chu Suiliang also said, "Now is not the time to send troops."

Li Chengqian really wants to send troops to fight Rome now, but he also knows that even if the Roman army is in Dashi now, there is a long supply line, and transportation alone is a big problem, but if there is Tubo in the rear, it can give Datang Help can eliminate this doubt.

"Shangguanyi, do you think it's okay to send troops?" Li Chengqian looked at Shangguanyi.

"I think Zhongshu Ling is right." Shangguanyi also said, "It takes a lot of manpower and material resources to go to Persia alone, not to mention the current Dashi, which is farther away than Persia, and there is still Tianzhu around now." Looking forward, I think it is too early to send troops."

Li Chengqian nodded slightly, although he didn't want to hear these words, but as they said, it was too early to send troops, it was not a last resort, and it was not time to send troops until Datang was ready.

"Your Majesty." Shangguanyi continued, "In fact, Gu Qing and His Royal Highness Prince Jin had already planned for the West."

Gu Qing's layout?Li Chengqian endured to keep his expression unchanged. Of course he knew that Gu Qing had plans for the West. This was planned by Gu Qing and his father back then, and said in a low voice, "Shang Shuling should know Gu Qing's plans."

With Pei Xingjian not around, Shangguanyi had no choice but to say: "Actually, I have heard about it in the Department of Maritime Trade."

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "I don't really know what Gu Qing and his father did to the West."

"Your Majesty, in fact, all of this is related to maritime trade." Shangguanyi continued.

Maritime trade?Li Chengqian knew about Gu Qing's sea trade. The so-called sea trade was just an excuse for Gu Qing to go to sea to find more resources. He was in the palace and naturally knew how much benefit sea trade brought to the royal family. Those silver mines and gold The mines are sent to the warehouse in the palace by carloads. Datang has almost no cost, and the business is about selling and buying. Gu Qing is just in the name of maritime trade. In fact, whoever is not a pirate when he goes to sea, in a weak country, only conquest and strong This time, the country of Wa made Datang taste a lot of sweetness.

Shangguanyi went on to speak, "Early before the establishment of the Maritime Trade Department, Gu Qing and the Supreme Emperor had planned the future of Maritime Trade. There are islands in the South China Sea, and the current route is going to the South China Sea. At the beginning, the plan was to go all the way south, and after reaching the coastline of Tianzhu along the way, attack Tianzhu from the coastline first. There is a springboard, and with this springboard, Datang can do many, many things to the West."

"Then how long will I have to wait before Haimao can cooperate properly." Li Chengqian asked.

"I don't know." Shangguanyi said.

Li Chengqian said to Wang Jin beside him, "Tell me what to say, tell King Jin when he can go to the South China Sea to attack Tianzhu, and give me an answer!"

Wang Jin left immediately after receiving the message.

It was already night when he walked out of Ganlu Hall, and Chu Suiliang wondered in his heart as he walked all the way, "Why Pei Xingjian hasn't come, did something happen to him?"

"Do you think Your Majesty can't wait to go west?" Shangguanyi also asked.

The two of them thought about walking out of the palace together but did not see Pei Xingjian.

At night in Cheng's mansion, Cheng Yaojin drank a large bowl of wine and said to Pei Xingjian who had just finished a bowl, "Boy, you can hold a lot of alcohol, and you are much better than your teacher."

"Where is it?" Pei Xingjian cupped his hands and said, "Actually, I'm already drunk."

"Wahhahaha, why are you drunk!" Cheng Yaojin laughed and said, "Come on, let's have another drink. I haven't had such a good drink in a long time. It's a pity that you worship Gu Qing as your teacher, boy Pei. You can't drink like me." Cheng Yaojin's disciples are well prepared."

Pei Xingjian flushed with drunkenness, "Mr. Lu really likes to joke."

Cheng Yaojin raised the Damo Dao beside him and said, "It is said that the old man likes to use an axe. In fact, the Damo Dao is the most convenient for me to use. It is very hearty to chop people. Boy look at it, the old man will teach you Play a few tricks."

The first thousand and 27 chapters are silent and drunk again

Seeing Cheng Yaojin drunkenly dancing with a Damo Dao, Pei Xingjian backed away unconsciously for fear that Cheng Yaojin would cut himself off with a knife while drunk and he would have to ask someone to justify him. Stay away from the old guy.

Cheng Yaojin danced for a while and said, "Boy Pei, what do you think of the old man's sword skills?"

"Lu Guogong's sword skills are really superb!" Pei Xingjian echoed.

"Back then, this old man used this set of saber techniques to fight on the battlefield, and now he can't count the number of dead souls under the saber. This old man's saber techniques have also been practiced perfectly on the battlefield."

Hearing what Cheng Yaojin was saying, Pei Xingjian could only say, "I admire, I admire."

Lifting up a jar of wine, Cheng Yaojin spoke again, "Come here, offer incense!"

"Incense? For whom?" Hearing this, Pei Xingjian immediately jumped up, and Cheng Yaojin really wanted to chop himself up, "Lu Guogong, we never meet by chance, no, it should be There is no injustice or enmity, we..."

"Stinky boy, why are you talking nonsense?" Cheng Yaojin said, "Of course I want to plant incense, cut off the chicken head, and learn from a teacher!"

"Huh?" Pei Xingjian froze in place.

On the second day of dawn, Gu Qing thought that Pei Xingjian would be fine now that he was Cheng Yaojin's hostage. He was thinking in his heart that Cheng Chumo and Su Dingfang were also sober, so Gu Qing quickly opened the good wine that he had treasured for many years.

Cheng Chumo, with the tip of his nose, smelled the aroma of wine and immediately came over, "Gu Qing, what good wine do you have here?"

Gu Qing flashed a small jar of wine in front of Cheng Chumo, "There is a kind of wine called sauce-flavored wine in legend."

"Maojiang-flavored wine?" Cheng Chumo smelled the pure aroma of the wine, "Your wine is not right, it is very different from my Cheng family's wine."

"That's natural." Gu Qing said to Cheng Chumo, "Mine is Maotai-flavored wine, which is different from the wine you brew today. The most important thing about the taste of this wine is that it tastes like burnt grains, with a delicate aroma and first-class esters. After the sauce, the sauce has a long aroma, and the aroma in the cup will last for a long time.”

"Give me a taste!" Cheng Chumo said immediately.

"Aren't you going to be on duty today?" Gu Qing asked curiously.

"I won't go, I didn't take that shit seriously." Cheng Chumo also said to Su Dingfang, "Now that Lao Fang is no longer working in court, let's just have another drink."

"This is not good." Su Dingfang said, covering his head, "I still have a headache now."

"What's the pain? It's all about drinking." Cheng Chumo put on a posture without saying a word, "Gu Qing, come! Let's have a drink."

"Okay!" Gu Qing said to Fan Jian immediately, "serve the wine and the food!"

Cheng Chumo took a sip of the sauce-flavored wine and said aftertaste, "The taste is really good, and the aftertaste is also good."

Gu Qing laughed and poured Su Dingfang a drink.

Cheng Chumo looked at Gu Qing and said, "Gu Qing, you are not authentic. I didn't expect you to hide a trick in the way of wine making back then."

"You can't say that." Gu Qing added wine to Cheng Chumo and said, "I have just mixed this drink in the past few years, and it has been hidden for some years. Today, our three brothers can be regarded as a bad breath. Get off this title."

"Yes! I took a deep breath." Cheng Chumo took another sip and praised, "It's delicious wine. It seems that my Cheng family workshop is going to change to a secret recipe. Gu Qing, what is your secret recipe? Tell me."

Gu Qing filled another big bowl for Cheng Chumo and said, "I'll tell you if you drink this bowl too."
