Chapter 44: Drinking Alcohol and Suffering
Some people say that a court is a battlefield without gunsmoke, open and secret fighting, power or framing, these are common things in the court, and the small officials with large sesame green leaves are the most pathetic, and they all say that no matter how small the officials are, they are the parents of the local government, that is for the people, and the sesame green leaves also need to be parasitic on the soil to take root and sprout, if it is just a rootless weed, it is not a life, so the local officials have to climb to the official product that is bigger than themselves, and with a backer, their feet will be stable.
But how many backers can be leaned on in this world, this backer is big and small, the petty officials have not practiced anything else for more than ten years, but they have trained a pair of eyes to observe words and colors, and those with good eyes can rely on the high-level officials of the three provinces and six departments.
And these big backers also have decades of heritage, among these relationships, it belongs to the six military departments of the most profound heritage, it can be said that the excellent ministers on the bright side are more or less related to the Mo family, the secretary of the military department, is it ridiculous? It is not ridiculous, even the dignified Emperor of the Zhao Dynasty in order to consolidate the position of the relationship behind how much?
In private, there is such a rumor, that is, the emperor of the Zhao Dynasty did not dare to turn against the Mo family, the secretary of the military department, fortunately, the Mo family has been safe and stable for the emperor for several generations, but what the truth is, I am afraid that only the people in charge of these two families know.
And Mo Rongxuan, the only son of the military department, for a good time, Mo Bohan quietly sent him to the first military camp of the Zhao Dynasty to slowly hone for nearly a year, and Mo Bohan and Mo Rongxuan agreed on two years, and this still has to be spent in the military camp for another year.
For the relationship all over the country, the military department is helpless, for the world's first military camp is helpless, although he is in charge of the military, but only this military camp is only dispatched by the emperor, so there is always something to have a boundary, and this world both know that this military camp is the only world, and the news inside is not leaked out at all, comparable to the secret center of the institution.
If you can't do it, then you won't do it, after all, the military department once boasted that he was a courtier who obeyed the rules.
On this day, in the capital of the Zhao Dynasty, in Duwu City, the official residence of the Ministry of War, an old man had nothing to do and wanted to dance and make ink, the thick wolf brush was on the huge white paper about one zhang long, the dragon and the phoenix danced quite imposingly, and the old man then waved his pen to mention, and four big characters appeared on the white paper that was one zhang long.
"Righteousness lasts forever!"
The old man was very satisfied with his writing, and said to the old housekeeper next to him with a smile: "Find a frame to frame." ”
The old butler nodded, and when the ink dried, he quickly rolled it up and took it out.
Then the old man slowly walked to the pavilion, looked into the distance, sighed, the old butler seemed to know what he was thinking, bowed his head and said with a smile: "Master, the son will be back in a year, but your father and son can meet!"
The old man ignored him and muttered, "I'm afraid I won't see him in the future......"
The old housekeeper's heart tightened, and then he seemed to think of something, he looked at the old man in disbelief, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't help but say it, if what the old man said was true, then why didn't the court notify, the reason for all this is really incomprehensible.
"Xu Fu, how many years have you been with me?"
The old butler bowed his head and said with a smile: "Master, I have served you since I was a child, and now I have been serving you for fifty years. ”
The old man nodded slightly, and said abruptly: "Yes, it's been fifty years, and we are all old." ”
Xu Fu didn't know what his master wanted to express, and after decades of getting along, he naturally knew that a companion was like a tiger, and no one knew how deep his city was.
"Master, it's cold, let's go back to the house. ”
The conversation between the two was very strange, and no one knew what the meaning of these words between the master and the servant in this scene was.
"Senior sister, are you looking for me?"
These days, Mo Xiaotian has been combing through the skills given by the ghost refining in his body, but there is a time when he doesn't need to cultivate, and since he thinks of what Yu Xin'er said before, it is better to go out of the peak to find Jiang Caiyun.
Jiang Caiyun raised his head and looked at Mo Xiaotian a little tiredly, and said with a faint smile: "Little junior brother, you are still really difficult to invite!"
Mo Xiaotian scratched his head embarrassedly, and he was embarrassed to accept Jiang Caiyun's ridicule, and then said: "I was in retreat before, I didn't think that my senior sister would come to me, is there something wrong?"
Jiang Caiyun paused for a while, looked at him seriously and said, "I want to ask you for a favor......
Mo Xiaotian frowned, feeling that this favor was a little difficult to help, but he still motioned for her to continue, "Senior sister, it's okay to say." ”
"Our Open Heaven Sword Sect is not as strong as before, and its status in Jun Tian is not as stable as before, the Zhao Dynasty can't do without us, but we still need an embankment, but we don't know anything about that side, so ......"
After speaking, Jiang Caiyun looked at Mo Xiaotian with some expectation, "So, I want you to go to the Zhao Dynasty to establish a position." ”
Mo Xiaotian looked shocked and smiled bitterly: "Senior sister, do you think I can do it?"
"No way!"
Jiang Caiyun did not hesitate to say the result, which made Mo Xiaotian a little confused, and just wanted to speak, but saw her and said again: "So I arranged a new identity for you." ”
Mo Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but wonder: "New identity?"
Jiang Caiyun nodded and looked at him seriously: "You also know this person, it is Mo Rongxuan who died in the battle before, he was originally the son of Mo Bohan, the head of the household, since you look the same as him, you can just borrow his identity." ”
"But isn't that revealing? General Tiechou knows me. ”
Jiang Caiyun said with a smile at this time: "If my guess is correct, they also want you to take his place." ”
Mo Xiaotian was a little depressed, he hadn't done anything, and he was arranged by others clearly.
Mo Xiaotian had no choice but to nod and smile bitterly: "Since that's the case, let's see what the other side says first." ”
Jiang Caiyun sighed, but he didn't know if the Zhao Dynasty was really as he thought, since Mo Xiaotian said this, he would take it as if he agreed, and he still had to wait for the right time to set off.
Mo Xiaotian, who returned to Zizi Peak, was worried, it seemed that his plan to go down the mountain to Dangao Academy was about to be shelved again, he didn't know how many years it would take to go there, why did his grandfather want to go there by himself, would his parents be there, everything was too complicated.
Back in the room of the ghost refiner, the ghost refining got a jar of wine out of nowhere, drank it by himself, and when he saw Mo Xiaotian coming back, he shouted generously: "Come on, come on, come and drink two glasses with me!"
Mo Xiaotian was obviously stunned, and he didn't care where he got this wine from, he directly picked up his wine bowl and took a sip, this wine was really strong, Mo Xiaotian was choked without paying attention, and looked at the wine bowl and said in surprise: "This wine is too strong, where did you get it?"
Seeing Mo Xiaotian's embarrassed look, Ghost Lian immediately laughed, "This wine is in your room, you didn't even find it?"
Mo Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, and said with some doubts: "Why is there wine in my room?"
Seeing that Mo Xiaotian didn't believe it, the ghost refining grinned sideways, opened the futon, and saw that there were dozens of wine jars under the futon, and said proudly: "Look, believe it, I think this is probably your master lived in this room when he was a young apprentice before, and this wine must have been secretly hidden by him!"
Mo Xiaotian thought about it, and felt that what he said was not far from ten, and it was very likely that it was really the wine hidden by his master, and then Mo Xiaotian couldn't laugh or cry, his master was indeed a drunkard, but when it came to himself, these wines might not be able to be hidden.
After thinking about it, he immediately took out a jar of wine from it, clapped his palms, broke the seal, and simply didn't use the bowl, and poured it directly with the jar, and the Adam's apple swayed up and down regularly.
Ghost Lian stared at Mo Xiaotian's actions with wide eyes, and felt a little strange, and said in a daze: "Little ghost, what's wrong with you kid?"
Mo Xiaotian put down the wine jar, wiped his mouth, and couldn't help but sigh: "Cool!" and then muttered: "Maybe after you go down the mountain, I will also go down the mountain." ”
Ghost Lian didn't know why, he didn't vomit or be unhappy, Mo Xiaotian simply told this old ghost about the cause and effect, and after listening to it, Ghost Lian couldn't help laughing, "You kid will also be a puppet one day, it's really funny." ”
Mo Xiaotian was also very depressed, but who called himself the master of the Comfort Peak no apprentice, who would do it if he didn't do it.
"What's the matter? Your senior sister still wants you to seek power and usurp the throne, and wants you to sit on the throne?"
Ghost Lian raised his eyebrows and asked, this situation is not impossible, of course Mo Xiaotian didn't think much about it, now that he thinks about it, it is really possible, and then said with a wry smile: "If that's the case, then Senior Sister is looking at the wrong person, and I can't do those intrigues." ”
Ghost Lian nodded again and again, agreeing, this kid is okay to practice, but if he does the things in the court, it is a little insufficient, but when he comes back to his senses, what if, what if he really does it, what will happen when Ghost Lian dares to imagine what will happen.
Mo Xiaotian slapped his thigh and said freely: "No matter, drink!"
Immediately he lifted the wine jar and poured wine into his mouth, and the ghost refining was affected by him, and he wanted to be like him, but he couldn't get up, so he had to pour the wine into the bowl depressedly and drank it one by one, but this was also another taste.
After three rounds of drinking, both of them couldn't stand it and drank like this, Mo Xiaotian was already very drowsy, and the ghost refining was not much better, in two hundred years, he drank so much for the first time, it was also rare, although he was drunk, but he drank happily.
Ghost Lian was stunned, looked at the wine jar and said, "This wine is too straightforward, why don't you order the wine!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his back was slapped violently, and the ghost refining suddenly sobered up instantly, glared at Mo Xiaotian with bared teeth and scolded: "Don't fucking give Lao Tzu a drunken madness!"
Mo Xiaotian glanced at Ghost Lian apologetically, then ran to the kitchen and took a small plate of peanuts and put it in front of Ghost Lian, Ghost Lian picked out one and threw it in his mouth, then took another sip of wine, felt the pain in the back of his hand, and said a little depressed: "Next time, be gentle next time!"
Burst!
Mo Xiaotian sprayed a sip of wine on his face, pointed at him and said with a disgusted face: "You, don't think about Lao Tzu, damn it, it's disgusting to me!"
The ghost refining who was sprayed on his face was even more depressed, "I can't drink with him next time, it's too sinful." ”
