Until then, Li Li suddenly realized that his chest was too narrow, and the five girls Chen Yu, Dong Wan, Cai Yan, Ren Hongchang and Tang Ji couldn't grab a seat, so they could only stand beside him with eyes full of tenderness, looking lovely. Poor and pitiful, it made him feel distressed.

"Don't cry, don't cry, okay. It's not my husband's fault these days. I have neglected you. However, now our army has recruited many famous scholars and talents. It will not be like this in the future. My husband assures you. Today our husband and wife On the day of reunion, what do you want and what do you want to play, I will definitely accompany you as a husband!" Seeing the seven wives and concubines being so obsessed with him, Li Li felt both proud and ashamed, and the softest forbidden place in his heart was touched. Said anxiously at a loss.

When Li Li went to the West Garden with his wife and concubine, half an hour later, Zou Jing had already ordered pastries and fruits to be set up, and two round tables were also set up in the waterside corridor.

Throughout the afternoon, Li Ligan worked as a servant of his wives and concubines, running back and forth, making them smile and laugh constantly.This is an extremely rare leisure time that Li Li has spent in the past six months. It is warm and sweet, surrounded by laughter and laughter, letting time go by.

Chapter 343

Sneaking in a few times, I can't help but do nothing.

Although Li Li kept saying that he would spend three days with his wife and concubines, there were still several urgent matters that needed to be resolved by him in person.

Fortunately, Li Xin and the others are intellectual women who understand the general situation and understand things. When they learned that Li Li had an important task, instead of stopping him, they urged him to deal with important military affairs.

With a wife like this, what can a husband ask for?

Mei Wu Zhengdian.

In the back hall, Li Lihao sat upright in his free time, with a small table placed in front of him, the food and drink had been prepared, and the table was empty, waiting for the guests to come.

Looking at the territory of Xiliang, there are only a handful of people who can make Li Li prepare a banquet in advance, or even none.

Even if the emperor Liu Xie came personally, it was no exception.

However, today Li Li was uncharacteristically, he had a banquet in the back hall and still had to wait for the guests to come.

This move is really surprising. Who can make him condescend to wait?

"Boom!"

After a while, there was the sound of steady footsteps outside the door.Obviously, the person who came was the person Li Li was waiting for at the banquet.

"My lord, Gao Shun is here." Before the visitor entered the door, Li Zhi walked lightly into the hall and reported in a low voice.

"Please Xiaogong come in." Li Li nodded slightly and said in a harmonious voice.

As the sound came out of the door, a burly man in coarse cloth, black hair, a mustache, and a resolute face walked slowly into the inner hall.

This person is obviously Gao Shun Gao Xiaogong who has been missing for a long time.

In other words, he was the former commander of the camp who had been under house arrest for nearly half a year, and was regarded by Lu Bu as his right-hand man.

Facing Gao Shun with a face full of indifference, Li Li looked calm, raised his hand and said: "I have been waiting for Xiaogong for a long time, please take a seat."

Gao Shun looked coldly at Li Li who was dressed in a commoner gown.With a still expression on his face, he slightly bowed his back, bowed and knelt and sat opposite Li Li.

Li Li didn't care about Gao Shun's indifference, so Gu Zi filled Gao Shun's wine bottle, then raised the wine bottle, and said in a harmonious voice, "Please raise your glass to Xiaogong, this is the sweet-scented osmanthus wine that Jingzhou paid tribute to. Rare. Please fill up this bottle!"

Gao Shun stared at Li Li, hesitating for a moment.He picked up the wine bottle and drank it all in one gulp, then sat there quietly without saying a word.

After Li Li finished drinking, he filled the wine bottle in front of him again, and cut off a piece of cooked meat with a short dagger.Eat and drink by yourself, no longer greet Gao Shun.

As if there was no one else around.Turn a blind eye.

After a while.After eating and drinking, Li Li took the cloth towel handed over by Li Zhi, wiped his mouth, and then wiped his hands.Immediately, he waved his hand to signal the attendants to remove the banquet and serve hot tea.

"Wow hoo hoo!"

He personally poured a cup of hot tea into the teacup in front of Gao Shun.Li Li picked up the teacup and said in a harmonious voice: "This tea is Mingqian green tea picked on the South Mountain of Wuguan. It is fragrant and tangy, clear and sweet. It has a long aftertaste and is really the best tea. Please try drinking it!"

After speaking, Li Li smelled the fragrance of tea lightly, took a sip of tea, closed his eyes and rested his mind, sitting upright and motionless.

Gao Shun, who was sitting across from him, did not pick up the teacup for a long time, his expression moved slightly, and there was a complex expression in his eyes, which seemed to be determined, but also moved, and there was a look of struggle in his eyes.

Jingzhou's sweet-scented osmanthus wine, Wuguan's Mingqian tea, Li Li's move is intriguing!

Gao Shun was strict in command of the army. When he was in the barracks, he did not drink at all, but this does not mean that he never drank.On the contrary, he has nothing to like in his life, except good wine.Ordinary wine, he doesn't even look at it, but it's not fine wine, he just needs to smell the wine to know its quality.However, he is extremely self-disciplined and has strong self-restraint. When he leads the army, he is determined not to drink alcohol, even fine wine.But he hasn't led the army for half a year now, so naturally he doesn't need to prohibit alcohol.

Therefore, Li Li hosted a banquet invitation, poured wine and toasted, Gao Shun didn't care about other things, and just drank with a toast.But Li Li didn't persuade him to drink anymore. Even if he wanted to drink again, he couldn't say it, so he sat quietly and remained silent.

Gao Shun is innocent, upright and frank. Alcohol is forbidden in the army, so he often uses tea instead of wine to comfort himself.Li Li invited him to drink Mingqian tea, which was also his favorite.However, Li Li stated that this tea is Mingqian tea from the South Mountain of Wuguan.There is nothing wrong with Mingqian tea itself, but "Wuguan" touched Gao Shun's heart, which made him suddenly realize and regret.

Only then did Gao Shun understand that Li Li's banquet was not a good one, but it was actually a trick for him to get in by himself.

Since ancient times, there is a saying: do not eat toast and eat fine wine.

As soon as Gao Shun entered the door, he ate Li Li's toast.For this alone, he fell into the trap that Li Li had already set up. After drinking the toast, it meant that he was willing to surrender and was unwilling to take the fine wine, but the wine was Jingzhou's sweet-scented osmanthus wine.Jingzhou is the place that Lu Bu wanted to occupy when he led his army south.

Although Gao Shun has been under house arrest for the past six months, he knows everything that happened in Chang'an City. Every day, the prison guards revealed to him major events happening outside.Therefore, he knew the whereabouts of Lu Bu's army like the back of his hand, and he knew exactly what happened to Lu Bu on his way south to Jingxiang.

Today, when Gao Shun drank the sweet-scented osmanthus wine, he was still in the dark, not knowing how powerful it was.However, when he heard about Li Lijing's Mingqian tea from Wuguan, he realized it later, and instantly understood Li Li's real intention of repeatedly toasting tea.

Now that he has eaten Li Li's toast, shouldn't he also drink Wuguan's Mingqian tea?

Under the city of Wuguan, in order to get out of the pass and survive, Lu Bu personally ordered the camp to be trapped, and Zhang Liao and Cao Xing joined Li Li's command.And he, Gao Shun, is both the leader of the trap camp and a member of the trap camp.Now that he is a pawn under Li Li's command, Gao Shun is also a soldier under Li Li's command, at least in name.

Thinking about the key point, Gao Shun felt extremely bitter and suffered a lot.

To serve Li Li means that he has turned his back on his old master Lu Bu, which is something he never thought about.He has been innocent all his life, and his loyalty is greater than the sky and thicker than the earth. Even if he loses his life, he is unwilling to bear the bad name of betraying the old master.But now that he has eaten Li Li's toast, how can he refuse Li Li's offer to surrender?If this is the case, wouldn't he be reneging on what he said, and also a person who has no faith and no righteousness?

Are you going to let the world say that Gao Shun is greedy for fine wine, detests bitter tea, and is a duplicity person who seeks fame?If he bears such infamy, then his life of loyalty and innocence, isn't it just a posturing and covetous fame?

Previously, Gao Shun couldn't understand why Li Li was able to defeat Lu Bu.Subdue the Xiliang army, occupy Chang'an, and take over the power of the world; but at this moment, he understands everything.

Li Li is too insidious, too cunning, too clever, and too ruthless!

This time Li Li held a banquet, and he didn't say a word to persuade him to surrender, but he kept setting up a situation, which drew Gao Shun into the urn unconsciously.

As a result, Gao Shun woke up too late.It was too late to wake up after being caught in the trap.

Li Li's persuasion to capitulate is not about Xu Yi's high-ranking official and rich salary, nor does he need beautiful women, let alone persuasion with words, as long as he doesn't act.As soon as he makes a move, he will punish his heart.

For half a year, Gao Shun has been sitting in prison.Nobody cares.Now finally someone is willing to see him.Unexpectedly, it ended like this.

"It's best to drink tea [-]% hot, and drink it while it's hot. When it's [-]% warm, the tea will change its taste and color, and the taste will be bland and astringent; when it cools down, the tea will be dark yellow, bitter and astringent. It's not good for the body and mind." Gao Shun struggled in his heart At the moment, Li Li closed his eyes and pondered leisurely.

"Huh?" Gao Shun was startled and glared at Li Li.His face was full of resentment.

At this moment, Li Li opened his eyes suddenly, looked at Gao Shun calmly, and said softly, "Xiao Gong, the tea is still warm and drinkable. Please drink this tea."

"If someone doesn't drink, what will you do?" Gao Shun asked in a solemn voice.

Li Li said unmoved at all: "This tea is not easy to come by. It was born on the top of Xiangyang Mountain. The picking period is only half a month a year. After the Qingming Festival, it is not a Mingqian tea. It is also very particular about picking. , must wait until the morning dew dissipates, picked by the girl, one tip and two leaves, no more, no less. Xiaogong is a person who enjoys good wine and tea, and should know that the more good things are, the rarer they are, and they should be cherished if they are hard-won. Xiaogong doesn't want to drink this tea, anyway, this cup of tea belongs to Xiaogong, if you don't know how to cherish it and throw it away, why should Li be so affectionate, just throw it away!"

Hearing this, Gao Shun immediately picked up the teacup, and was about to turn it over to pour out the tea, but unexpectedly Li Li said again: "Li is very kind to invite and treat each other frankly, because he really values ​​filial piety and the ability to lead and train soldiers. In the past Lu Fengxian has already ordered [-] soldiers from the trapped camp to belong to Li Li, but in reality there are only more than [-] soldiers. As a member, you should know that military orders cannot be disobeyed, I order you to eat this tea, do you want to disobey!"

"This,,,,,, you are making unreasonable words! A certain family has not received the order from my lord, so how can you count?" Gao Shun tightly clutched the teacup in his hand, and asked in a low voice angrily.
