cigarette!

It's smoke!

Wei Jiu has been thinking about this thing for a long time. He knows that tobacco is harmful to the human body, but the smell of tobacco can numb his suppressed and angry heart, and can also calm his noisy heart. Perhaps tobacco has a different impact on everyone, Wei Jiu can only be sure that he really wants this smell now.

He trembled and took the tray handed over by Liu Jinwu. Looking at the dry and yellowed tobacco leaves, Wei Jiu's heart was trembling. He resisted the urge to try and said in a deep voice.

"Crush, add some orange peel and bring it to me."

"Mr. Marquis, do you need to dry it? Add the orange juice and bake it?"

"well!"

Wei Jiu's heart had not calmed down yet. Li Er, who was standing beside him, was curious and asked if this thing was a treasure? Judging from Wei Jiu's performance, this thing seemed very important, but the answer given by Wei Jiu made Li Er furious.

"It is not a little good for the human body. If you absorb too much, you will become addicted and will damage the lungs. The queen's lungs are unhealthy, so don't be curious. Sucking this thing reduces your lifespan."

Wei Jiu returned to the pool. When the temperature dropped a little, he could take a bath comfortably. Li Er stared at Wei Jiu suspiciously. After a long time, he gave up the idea of ​​digging in the bottom of the pond, sat by the pool, covered with a bath towel and drank hot tea.

Wei Jiu, a ghost, reached out to pick up the cup that Li Ergang had filled with tea. Li Er was slightly stunned, then took the cup again and filled it with tea, and said softly.

"Tubo chose to surrender, and there were some transactions. Tubo admitted defeat and withdrew from the battlefield in the Western Regions. Tuyuhun did not return it. Tubo was willing to hand over all the spoils of the Western Regions to the Tang Dynasty and was willing to pay money to compensate the Tang Dynasty for the war losses. The Tang Dynasty suffered very few losses in the battle of the Western Regions. The officials and I mean to surrender with Tubo. After receiving the compensation, they used the money to help the reconstruction of the Western Regions, thereby strengthening the management and mastery of the Western Regions."

Wei Jiu drank hot tea and looked at Li Er from the corner of his eyes.

He didn't dare to enter the hot tea, so he could only suck it into his mouth little by little, and the hot water entered his throat. Wei Jiu sighed, put down the tea cup under Li Er's gaze, and laughed softly.

"Tubo surrendered to the Tang Dynasty is a state matter, and it is a private matter for Lu Dongzan torture me for a year. Your Majesty, you should know that I am a clear person with a clear distinction between public and private matters. When you talk about your state matters, I will take a musket to resolve my private matters. There seems to be no conflict, right?"

Li Er frowned and sighed.

"You are the marquis of the Tang Dynasty!"

As soon as these words came out, Wei Jiu stood up and roared at Li Er.

"Since I know that I am a marquis, I should give me the right to be a marquis! Lu Dongzan treats me like this, you want me to expose it? Changsun Wuji wants to bring Tubo into the gang, and I will make them successful without saying a word? Am I too easy to talk to or can't I afford to offend them? Or is it that Mr. Li Er, you are here to be a lobbyist today. If you are a lobbyist, I make a request and others are a lobbyist, I will break it up."

Bang!

Wei Jiu forgot that Li Er liked to do something. After slapping, Li Er felt a little unsatisfied. He slapped Wei Jiu's shoulder three times. His entire shoulder was red and his handprints were clear. Wei Jiu did not resist and swam to the opposite side. Li Er curled his lips and looked at the evil deed, and began to nag.

"I still want to be a lobbyist? Do you know that you are a marquis? I will let Yuchi Jingde and Wei Zheng come over to see which one you dare to break."

Wei Jiu, who was free dog paddling in the pool, spoke up to fight back.

"I've thrown my words out, you have heard that if you don't break your teeth, it will damage the credibility of me, the marquis of the Tang Dynasty. At least you have to do it. Helian Fanyin, Song Ziguan, and Zuo Xiaoer took action, and even a toad would be difficult to escape safely, right? Yuchi Gong owes me, it's my duty, don't say I'm going to do it, I'll let him knock him off even if I ask him to knock him down. It's my credit for Wei Zheng's life until now. If I make up the accounts with him and throw hundreds of thousands of dollars on the affected people, will he beg me to knock off his teeth?"

Everyone has weaknesses, and Wei Jiu caught them very accurately.

Yuchi Gong owed Wei Jiu a lot, but this old hooligan did not meet a little hooligan who was more educated than him. He pretended to be confused with his understanding. There was no way for others to deal with him. However, Wei Jiu had. If Wei Jiu pursued the Yuezhou Army's drought and thunder, the Yuchi family would be charged with one crime. Li Er didn't want to do so, but he had to punish the Yuchi family.

As for Wei Zheng, it was even simpler. He might not be the most simplistic official, but he was the official who felt most depressed by the people. Don’t say that he would buy his teeth for hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars, and he would sell it.

Li Er felt a little uncomfortable when he was criticized. He couldn't find a good guy on both sides and was too lazy to go into the water to catch this evil man. He stared at Wei Jiu with an unkind look and said angrily.

"Awesome? I don't know the southeast, southwest and northwest? It seems that you have caught the handles of the Tang Dynasty officials?"

"No, you let Changsun Wuji come here, I will definitely let someone take action. Your Majesty, if you are a lobbyist, I will give you any face. I accept Tubo surrendering to the Tang Dynasty. I can treat Tubo's great prime minister Lu Dongzan as the Zhiminghou of the Tang Dynasty. After all, I am just a thriller. You know what kind of temper and personality I am. I feel relieved and I will have nothing to do. If I feel uncomfortable, I can make trouble even if I am fine."

During the conversation, Liu Jinwu came back and brought dried tobacco leaves and paper. What I like most about Liu Jinwu is that he is quick-witted and looks like everything he does, so there is no need to say more.

Wei Jiu took the rice paper and rolled it up with tobacco leaves.

Drying dry tobacco is one of Wei Jiu's few skill proficient skills. When he was a child, he rolled cigarettes for his grandfather every day. I remember that when he was smoking for the first time, he was slapped by his grandfather in the face. He did not stop him afterwards. He just said that smoking is not a big problem for men.

I took out the match and lit the cigarette roll. The familiar smell at the entrance was filled with a hint of orange fragrance, but the tobacco leaves were a little lighter.

Wei Jiu's ten fingers and middle fingers were tired, and white smoke was gushing out from his nose.

The pleasure of nicotine coming into the brain almost made Wei Jiu scream.

Familiar! So familiar!

It is the taste and feeling that day and night that you have been thinking about day and night. For twenty years, Wei Jiu always prepared some snacks in his pocket to relieve his cigarette addiction. If you can't quit smoking, you can resist smoking, but when you pick it up, you are more skilled than peeing in the bathroom.

Li Er looked at Wei Jiu sideways and said sarcastically.

"It's very comfortable to blow smoke and fog? It looks like you enjoy it."

Wei Jiu opened his eyes and smiled, naturally ignoring Li Er's problem and said with a faint smile.

"Your Majesty, it's not difficult to make me comfortable. Don't worry about Li Ke. I know you don't like Li Ke, just like I don't like Zhao Changming. There is no reason, I just don't like it. But if you don't like it, don't think about hurting it. Li Ke doesn't recruit you or provoke you. It's better to cut your fiefdom and reduce your households. If it's because of Li Ke's bloodline, you can't let Concubine Yang get pregnant and have a child. In the final analysis, you can't control the things in your crotch, and then you have to blame others. This is a bit unreasonable, right? The child was born, not what the child wants to come from. Both parents are partial, but you are a little cruel."

After saying that, Wei Jiu took another sip of cigarette, which made him tremble a little, and Li Er had already stood up. Wei Jiu continued to say without looking at Li Er.

"Li Ke is my brother, you are his father. You can't protect your father, so I will protect you, just like he went out of the city to protect me in three years, and this time he saved me in Suzhou. Although I don't remember his kindness, we are brothers! The second thing is the matter of the mining area. If you don't manage the mining area well, I won't get involved. I will develop mining areas in other prefectures and counties. At that time, I will pay more points according to the tax, manage, collect and sell it myself, so you don't get involved."

"The third thing, I know that you want to stay for Changsun Shunde, but I don't want to stay for it. Changsun Jiaqing must die. It's useless for anyone to plead with him. Han Jianye and Song Hu died indirectly in his hands. I will not let him go. You saw me today, but I won't go to court tomorrow. The lame marquis is a bit embarrassing. In addition, give me a fiefdom, farther from Chang'an, the coastal land of Andong, is OK?"

Li Er, who was about to fall down, was stunned, slowly sat beside Wei Jiu, and frowned.

"You want to retire? You are still young, I don't agree."

Wei Jiu sneered.

"Ha! It's not now, we have to prepare first. Wait for the day when you don't become emperor, the day when I left Chang'an. Looking around, Goujian can't tolerate Wen Tian, ​​Liu Bang can't tolerate Han Xin, and King Zhao of Qin killed Bai Qi. The only one we Emperor of the Tang Dynasty can tolerate me is Li Shimin, I'm afraid Li Chengqian can't do it!"

Bang!

A slap fell on the back of Wei Jiu's head. Li Er snatched the cigarette in his hand and said lightly.
Chapter completed!
