Last time, he was still shouting about killing, but this time, he came to visit as if nothing had happened. It had to be said that the bearded guest's skin was really thick.
However, no one in the Li Family gave him a good face. Li Jingmo only nodded at the bearded man in greeting before leaving. Han Yuxi and Madam Li didn't even go downstairs or greet him. When Xiao He came over to pour tea for the bearded guest, she heavily knocked the teacup on the table to express her dissatisfaction.
Lan-er held a small wooden sword and quietly hid at the staircase. Her two bright eyes stared at the bearded man without blinking, as if she was ready to deal a fatal blow to the bearded man in the main hall at any time. This little cutie didn't know that her every move had been noticed by the two people in the main hall.
"Haha! Marquis Yong 'an, even if I did something wrong last time, you don't have to be so stingy, right? This old man heard that you have good wine at home. Why bring out this tea to embarrass this old man? "
The bearded guest didn't care much about the Li family's reaction. In his opinion, Li Zexuan's family was already very polite for not cutting him with a knife. Now, they were just a little cold to him, so what? He looked at the teacup on the table and said to Li Zexuan without any trace of politeness.
He came to Chang 'an with the imperial court's fleet. Counting the days, he had stayed in Chang' an for quite some time. Naturally, he knew of the Li family's reputation of Drunken Immortal and Gentle Village. Moreover, he had tasted it many times at the Drunken Immortal Restaurant. Although it was a little expensive, the bearded guest still felt that it was worth it. Besides, how could a pirate like him lack money? Spending money to buy enjoyment was what people like him liked to do the most.
"It's not that I don't want to, but my family's wine is extremely strong. If senior has something to say, please talk about business first and then talk about other things!"
Li Zexuan replied indifferently.
He didn't fall out with the bearded guest because he was giving face to Li Jing. As for the good wine and good dishes, it could only be said that the bearded guest was overthinking.
Hearing the coldness in Li Zexuan's words, a hint of embarrassment appeared on the bearded man's face, but it disappeared in a flash.
"Ahem, ahem, I don't like to beat around the bush with people, so I'll be frank with you! I want your complete sea chart. If you have any conditions, feel free to state them. If I can do it, I won't say a word! "
Li Zexuan was shocked. Only now did he understand that the Dragon-Bearded Guest deliberately came to Cloud Mountain to cause trouble two days ago. He went through so much trouble just for his sea map. However, how did this old man know that he had the sea map in his hands?
"That's impossible. Senior, please don't mention it again!"
Li Zexuan didn't think too much about it and directly refused.
The Curly-Bearded Guest immediately asked anxiously, "Why is that? There should always be room for negotiation. Marquis Yong 'an, why are you so heartless? "
"Feelings?"
Li Zexuan sneered and said sarcastically, "Two days ago, someone wanted to annihilate my entire family. Why should I care about feelings with such a person? I'm already giving face to Duke Wei by not sweeping him out of the door! "
When the Curly-Bearded Guest heard this, his face turned green and white. "The fight two days ago was a misunderstanding. I've already explained it to Marquis Yong 'an. Although my words were inappropriate, I didn't have any ill intentions. Marquis Yong' an, why do you have to take it to heart?"
"Hmph! Some people don't mean much to you, but to me, their lives are more important than my own! You'll never understand this! "
Li Zexuan stared at the Curly-Bearded Guest and said word by word.
The Curly-Bearded Guest was speechless, and the hall fell into silence.
After a while, Li Zexuan asked, "Senior, how did you know that I have a detailed sea map?"
The Curly-Bearded Guest suddenly thought of something and his eyes lit up. He was about to explain when he saw the servant girl who served him tea earlier walk over and said to Li Zexuan, "Young Master, there's a person called Meng Youliang outside who wants to see you!"
"Meng Youliang?"
Li Zexuan muttered to himself. Only then did he remember that Meng Youliang was Meng Wenhao's father. He just didn't know why he came over at this time.
"Let him in!"
"Yes, Young Master!"
Xiao He responded, and then turned around to go out.
The Curly-Bearded Guest who was about to speak saw that Li Zexuan summoned Meng Youliang without hesitation. He rolled his eyes and actually shut his mouth.
"Meng Youliang pays his respects to Marquis!"
After a while, Meng Youliang walked in. He saw the Curly-Bearded Guest sitting in the main hall and a trace of joy flashed across his eyes. He then turned around and bowed solemnly to Li Zexuan.
"Uncle Meng, you don't have to be so courteous. Now that you're an official, you don't have to be so courteous!"
Li Zexuan helped him up and said with a pleasant smile, "Don't worry.
"Marquis, you're too courteous! You've done a great favor for my Wenhao, and you deserve to be courteous! "
Meng Youliang said with a sincere face.
Li Zexuan smiled and didn't insist. He pointed to the sofa beside him and said, "What's there to be courteous about? Uncle Meng, take a seat first! "
Meng Youliang paused and didn't sit down immediately. Instead, he turned around and faced the Curly-Bearded Guest. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Today, Meng Youliang knew that benefactor was here and specially came to thank benefactor! Once again, I thank benefactor for saving my life! "
"Get up, get up! How can a man kneel just because he wants to? It's just a small matter for you in our hometown. You don't have to worry about it for so long! "
The Curly-Bearded Guest quickly stood up and helped Meng Youliang up.
Benefactor?
Li Zexuan saw this scene and was a little confused. How could these two people who didn't have anything to do with each other have an intersection? What kind of drama is this?
"Uncle Meng, you know each other?"
Li Zexuan frowned and asked aloud.
Meng Youliang turned around and replied, "Marquis, the fleet was attacked by pirates at sea. I was seriously injured and almost died at sea. Fortunately, benefactor came to my rescue and saved my life!"
Hearing Meng Youliang's words, Li Zexuan suddenly thought of something. After a moment of frowning, he looked at the Curly-Bearded Guest and said in surprise,
"Previously, Commandery Prince Hejian told me that when the army landed in Japan, there was a mysterious master protecting him. I didn't expect that person to be you!"
"Haha! It's just a coincidence! It's not worth mentioning! "
Although the Curly-Bearded Guest was proud, he still had an indifferent expression on his face. This old guy is really good at acting tough!
Li Zexuan pinched his chin and fell into deep thought. He was now curious about how Meng Youliang knew that the Curly-Bearded Guest was with him. The Curly-Bearded Guest had been staying at Li Zexuan's house recently. Ordinary people naturally wouldn't know his whereabouts. How did Meng Youliang, who had no foundation in Chang 'an, know?
