Chapter 408: Acquaintances Meet (Part II)
The soldier, who had been drinking near the man, saw the fight and hurried out of the place, hiding far away for fear of hurting himself.
The little two who rushed up first lay on the ground and couldn't stop clutching his chest and wailing, and the other people who followed him were just bumped into by him, and they were not deeply injured, and they were all holding sticks at the moment, looking at the drinking man viciously.
"What, I can't even invite this friend to have a drink?" Meng Tian sat opposite the man, and he said coldly to the drunken Chunlou guys who came up to make trouble.
Except for the little second who was lying on the ground, the others didn't know Meng Tian's identity, but the people who could enter the Zuichun Building were naturally not ordinary nobodies, at least they were also scholars. His boss had a very good impression of these readers, and these guys couldn't make up their minds for a while, so they had to stand there and watch the two people in front of them drink relative to each other.
Xiang Yu on the first floor saw Meng Tian appear in Zuichun Building, and suddenly the fire came up, he got up and wanted to go out to find Meng Tian and find him to have a good fight.
"What are you going to do?" Wang Yi pulled Xiang Yu's sleeve and didn't let him go over the screen to the front.
Xiang Yu turned back to Wang Yi and said, "Uncle Shi, don't pull me, I'm going to go up to find Meng Tian, the victory between me and him hasn't been scored." ”
Xiang Yu's strength is quite large, Wang Yi alone is not Xiang Yu's opponent at all, Yu Ziqi is fast, and he hurriedly stepped forward to grab Xiang Yu, and the two of them worked together to barely let Xiang Yu leave behind the screen. "Nonsense, if you go out to find Meng Tian now, won't you tell Meng Tian the whereabouts of all of us, and the big things we planned will also be destroyed by you, have you ever thought about the consequences of going out now?"
Xiang Yu's recklessness is true, but he is not a brainless reckless man, after listening to Wang Yi's words, he gradually calmed down. Bolangsha's assassination of the First Emperor Yingzheng failed, and the Dongjun Incident was disturbed by Meng Tian, so that Xiang Yu also grew up slowly, and he said to Wang Yi: "I'm sorry, Uncle Shi, it was Xiang Yu who was reckless. ”
Wang Yi took a long breath, he let go of the wrist that was holding Meng Tian, and then said: "Just now, your uncle was stopped by me when he came out to look for you, I was just afraid that Meng Tian would find out the whereabouts of your uncle and nephew." Now that you are safe with me, no one knows of your existence, and if you go out and are discovered by Meng Tian, maybe a lot of people will die because of you. ”
Yu Ziqi also persuaded on the side: "Yes, brother, as the saying goes, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge." Now that we are about to prepare for the incident, that Meng Tian is a general who holds a million-strong army of the Qin State, and it is probably not a good thing to fight with him at this time, and the brothers need to focus on the overall situation. After Yu Ziqi finished speaking, he gave his sister a look, and what Xiang Yu could say was probably the most useful thing that his sister said.
"Brother Yu, just listen to Uncle Wang and my brother, it's not appropriate for us to show up at this time. Yu Ji persuaded Xiang Yu beside him.
Xiang Yu saw that Yu Ji was also persuading herself, nodded at her, and then said, "I know, don't worry, I will never let Meng Tian find out my whereabouts." ”
The shopkeeper of Zuichun Lou rushed to the second floor and saw his own person lying on the ground, and the others were watching the two people who were surrounded in the middle. He knew the man who was facing him, and he had been to the store several times before, but he had come in penniless to eat, and he had kicked him out several times when he saw him. And the man sitting opposite the man, with his back to him, he didn't know who it was.
The shopkeeper first hugged his fists and greeted the surrounding scholars, "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry to disturb your Yaxing today." If you don't mind, please move downstairs, the poetry feast is not over yet, and you can also show your masterpieces on the stage. ”
After finishing speaking, the shopkeeper waved his hand and asked his men to put away all the guys in their hands, and then beckoned the guests on the second floor to go to the first floor. Then he walked to the side of the two people, clasped his fists at the two people sitting there and said: "I'm really embarrassed, my subordinates don't understand the rules, if you two still want to continue drinking, please feel free to ......" When the shopkeeper saw Meng Tian, he stood on the spot, so frightened that he couldn't speak.
Meng Tian looked up at the shopkeeper who was so frightened that he was standing next to him speechless, and he asked, "Why, Fang just said that he wanted to drive us out, is he going to invite us to drink at this time?"
The shopkeeper is the one who knows Meng Tian, when he used to be the shopkeeper of Drunken Xiangyu in Xianyang City, he had seen Meng Tian many times, although now after many years, Meng Tian's appearance has not changed much except for some aging, he naturally recognized it at a glance, so he was so frightened that he stood there speechless.
"Shopkeeper, what's wrong?" The man sitting opposite Meng Tian had never seen the shopkeeper have such an expression, he shouted tentatively twice, and then looked at Meng Tian suspiciously.
The shopkeeper was woken up from surprise, he glanced at Meng Tian, then at the down-and-out man, and hurriedly said to the two people: "Please feel free to do so, if there is any inconsiderate hospitality, just tell the villain." As for the food and drinks, the villain will go down and order someone to prepare a new table for the two of us, and invite the two of you to enjoy it. After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he walked down the second floor without waiting for the two of them to speak, as if he was afraid that the two of them would chase him to pay the bill. Qiyin
The down-and-out man's eyes when he looked at Meng Tian changed slightly, he didn't have a friendship with the shopkeeper of Zuichun Building, he was also an acquaintance, and he had never seen this person look good at him after coming so many times. "Dare to ask my brother why he wants to ask me for a drink? ”
There was still a glass of wine in the wine glass in front of Meng Tian, and he raised it and saluted the man opposite: "It's okay, if you and I are destined, it's not too late to know each other now, right?"
"That's true, but you still haven't answered my question. The man then asked.
Seeing that the other party did not accept his overtures, Meng Tian put down his wine glass and said, "Since you want to know me, why don't you report yourself first?"
"I'm just a grass farmer, a name, not to mention. On the contrary, it was Your Excellency, who competed with me in terms of wrist strength, and although there was no winner or loser, I knew that Your Excellency was not very human. And then the shopkeeper of the drunken spring building saw your panicked look, which made me a little curious about your excellency, and if you think about it carefully, your identity may be a little scary. The man still refused to give his name.
Seeing that the other party could guess his approximate identity in such a short period of time, Meng Tian was even more curious about the origin of this man, and the words that came out of his mouth before, I am afraid that this person is not as simple as a grass man in his mouth.
"You guessed it, I'll drink this wine myself. Meng Tian took a sip of the wine in his glass, and then continued: "I just listened to what you said upstairs, and I can guess that you also have great ambitions in your chest, why are you willing to succumb to this, willing to be an ordinary person in obscurity? If you want, I can show you a clear way?"
The man finally paid attention to the person in front of him, and he said, "I don't know what Your Excellency means by Minglu?"
Meng Tian pointed in the direction of Xianyang City, and he said, "If you want, you can get a high-ranking official there, and I can even promise you to be a marquis in the future." Meng Tian began to like the mysterious man in front of him, and he wanted to take it under his command.
The man also understood what the other party meant, he shook his head, and said with a smile: "I have been to Xianyang City, and it is not suitable for people like me." ”
Meng Tian was stunned when he heard this, and then he also understood what the man meant, so he had to say: "No matter what you think, I am willing to wait for you, if you want, come back to this place in three days, I am still waiting for you here." What do you think?"
The man looked directly into Meng Tian's eyes, and after a long time, he said, "It's okay, if I don't appear in front of you after three days, I hope we won't see each other again in the future." ”
Meng Tian frowned, and then said, "I also hope that this scene will not occur, otherwise it will be too ugly." After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled, attracting everyone on the first floor to look in this direction.
After Meng Tian finished talking to the man, he left the second floor and returned to the room on the third floor before the shopkeeper could bring the wine and food, leaving the man alone to sit on the empty second floor and drink.
Seeing Meng Tian go up to the third floor, Xiang Yu and the others breathed a sigh of relief on the first floor, "It seems that Meng Tian wants to recruit this Han Xin, but I don't know if he succeeded." ”
"Han Xin, is the man we just met when we returned to Huiji? Didn't he want to follow us to do something big? How could he be recruited by Meng Tian?" Yu Ziqi remembered that he and Xiang Yu and his party had just returned to Huiji from Dongjun, and they met the man on the second floor not long after entering the city. At that time, the man was dressed even more depressed than today, saying that he was specially coming to Xiang Yu, but Xiang Yu disliked his poor background and liked to talk big, so he didn't agree, just said that he would think about it for a while.
"So you know this person?" Wang Yi asked, he had heard his brother-in-law talk about this person before, but at that time, he and his brother-in-law both laughed after speaking, and did not regard this Han Xin as a big person.
Xiang Yu looked at the room where Meng Tian was on the third floor, "No matter whether this Han Xin is really capable or fake, in short, I will not let this person come under my command again." If he had arranged it for Meng Tian, wouldn't that be a bad thing?"
Everyone around them felt that what Xiang Yu said made some sense, otherwise, if Han Xin didn't know Meng Tian, then why did Meng Tian go to him for a drink? If the other two really didn't know each other, how could they sit and drink together after making a move?
Xiang Yu may not know that it was precisely because of his suspicion that Han Xin passed by him, and after decades, it was this Han Xin who led to his failure, and finally had no choice but to kill himself on the banks of the Wujiang River.
