Chapter 34 When the cup and plate are in the clear stream 2

"You really don't know?"

"I really don't know. Naruto said, "I don't know the person you're talking about, brother. I don't really know about him. But, brother, listen to meβ€”" she rolled her eyes at pinching, realizing that she had laid herself too long, and hastened to continue, "but I have seen him. He's so tall and tall, his hair is dark and shiny, his eyes are golden, and his skin is bronzed, isn't he?"

Xianya's hand was obviously loosened, and he asked coldly, "When did it happen?"

"It was last night. Narushin coughed and reluctantly said, "I saw him with the other brothers, and they were fighting......"

"Fight with whom?"

"And ...... His Royal Highness King Duan. His Royal Highness King Duan even sent someone to arrest him, maybe it was right there for him. ”

Xian also said: "Who is His Royal Highness King Duan?"

Ming Xin muttered, "It's a prince of Bianjing City, and it's the younger brother of my master, His Royal Highness King Shen. He should be drinking at the bar in Feng Lok House now......"

After saying this, the oblique also put her down.

Narushin listened obliquely and muttered to himself, "His Royal Highness King Duan...... Ah, I remember, he was watching a play yesterday, and I happened to meet him...... I know. ”

After the slash was gone, Narushin was no longer able to resist, kneeling on the ground retching and wiping her tears silently - she didn't dare to cry too loudly, for fear that the slash would get angry. It should be safe for now, she thought to herself. I have to hurry up and tell His Royal Highness King Shen, or Sister Yan Ying. No, Sister Yanying is in Fengle Building, then there is only His Royal Highness King Shen.

His Royal Highness King Shen –

"Drink!" Zhao Ji raised his glass and said, "The east wind is blowing, the war drums are beating, who is afraid of who is afraid of drinking today......"

With that, he threw his head up and drank the wine, which ran down his jawline and down his neck, wetting the hem of his clothes. His eyes were a little empty, he wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and the whole person paused, as if he was stunned. Then he stood up and reached over to the jar of wine beside the table to pour himself a drink.

Cai Ju'an hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness King Duan, I'll come, I'll come." You don't have to do it yourself. He got up and poured wine for Zhao Ji, steadily taking no more and no less than a drop, and the cup was flush with the cup noodles, which was also a small skill he had practiced for many years, specializing in pleasing people, and this time it was finally used on His Royal Highness King Duan, but when His Royal Highness King Duan woke up, he might forget it.

Although Cai Ju'an is a sophisticated person, he has participated in many banquets, large and small, and there are a lot of toasts in his stomach, but it is rare to encounter such a situation as His Royal Highness Duanwang: he poured himself wine one by one, and he did not move the food in front of him, and it seemed that he was going to get himself drunk before he stopped.

Cai Ju'an felt that the situation of His Royal Highness King Duan was not good. He hesitated, forced a smile and said, "Your Royal Highness Duanwang, don't you feel hungry? This oven-roasted chicken is very famous, do you want to try it?"

As he spoke, he raised his chopsticks and poked at the oven-roasted chicken in front of him, took down a big chicken leg and put it on Zhao Ji's plate, and said, "This oven-roasted chicken is not an ordinary chicken, and the cooking methods are very particular, so it is not unreasonable to be popular." Use an authentic farmer's native chicken to kill it again in the morning of the same day, boil it in water until it is medium-cooked, chop it into small pieces, put a little oil in the pot, after it is hot, put the chicken pieces into it and fry it slightly, cover it with a spindle or bowl, and put in vinegar wine and salt when it is hot. Wait until the soup is dry, all the umami has seeped into the chicken, add water and cook again, and cook again and again until it is soft and crispy, and then the dish is complete......"

The roasted chicken in front of Zhao Ji was coming out of the last bit of heat. Compared to the rich aroma of the meat when it was first served, it has already dissipated by half an hour - half an hour has passed, and the charm of the most delicious dish will be lost due to the cold condensation of the soup.

Zhao Ji didn't pay attention to it just now, and he won't pay attention to it now, even Cai Ju'an is a fart, just dangling annoyingly in front of him, very annoying, and then a big chicken leg fell into his bowl with a clatter. When people drink alcohol, their temper will deteriorate, even Zhao Ji, who has always been gentle and polite, is no exception. He raised his head very angrily, and stabbed Cai Ju'an with his eye knife, which made Cai Ju'an shudder and shrink his head, as if he had done something wrong.

Zhao Ji looked at him viciously, and suddenly grinned again.

Cai Ju'an said: "His Royal Highness King Duan-"

Zhao Ji picked up the wine jar on the table, and inside was the rich and mellow daughter red. Cai Ju'an watched Zhao Ji pour the clear wine into the cup in front of him, the transparent and lubricated wine splashed out, poured in half and overflowed half, he just opened his mouth to say, "I'll come by myself", Zhao Ji's hands and voice were trembling, he laughed, raised his voice, and said: "Half of it will run, it's still early for promotion." As soon as you drink it, you will pour it, and it will be difficult to keep your official position......"

He flipped the jar over so violently that the last bit of wine left in the jar gushed out, spilling over most of the table, dripping and tumbling all over the table, and even the table would get drunk. Zhao Ji was light-headed, and his movements were no longer very sensitive, and he put the wine jar down to the ground with a bangβ€”there were already four or five empty jars there, and people rolled with a gurgling as soon as they moved, and a far-reaching sound came from the emptiness.

Then Zhao Ji got up and placed the cup in front of Cai Ju'an. Cai Ju'an was stunned for a moment and looked up at Zhao Ji.

"I've drunk so much, can you also drink a few glasses with me?" Zhao Ji's voice was a little desolate in it, he was smiling, but his eyes were full of sadness, and said, "I'm drinking alone, it's so lonely." ”

Speaking of which, Cai Ju'an couldn't stop drinking, not to mention that he also very much wanted to be promoted to an official and make a fortune as soon as possible, and drinking it was also borrowed from His Royal Highness the King of the Duan. He had no choice but to pick up the wine glass and said, "Your Royal Highness Duanwang, are you sure that everything will be fine after that?" If not, then let go of the drink below." ”

"You are so verbose, as verbose as Wang Liefeng. Zhao Ji supported the table with one hand and pressed his head with the other, and said distressedly, "Only Wang Liefeng can be so verbose to me, what are other people...... I'll take care of myself!"

β€œ...... All right. Cai Ju'an then picked up the wine glass and put it in front of him, only revealing a pair of gentle and deep eyes, and said with a smile, "The wine is a thousand cups of confidant, His Royal Highness the King Duan, then I will make this cup." ”

"One cup? Zhao Ji shook his head and said, "Half a catty is not a drink, a catty is against the wall, and the wall is gone...... I don't walk ...... wall."

Zhao Ji grabbed his cup, raised his head and drank it all, half of his face was soaked with wine, mixed with his tears, and Cai Ju'an realized that he had cried. Before he could fully react, Zhao Ji began to urge him: "Why, are you really unwilling to make me a friend?"

"Who said they didn't want to?" Cai Ju said in a calm voice, "There is a saying, how do you say it? If you want to let the guests drink well, you must drink it at home." He brought the wine to his lips, raised his head and lowered it down his throat, and the sweet elixir slid down, it was so good that one would get drunk after only three glasses. It's really wonderful and dangerous, and it's something that Feng Le Lou is proud of.

"Okay......" Zhao Ji was drunk, with a smell of wine between the lines, "Okay." The amount is small and not gentleman...... Non-toxic not husband. In the end, he didn't know what he was talking about, there were tears in his eyes, and he said groggily, "Open another altar, Cai Ju'an." ”

Cai Ju'an smiled: "His Royal Highness King Duan, can you still drink?"

Zhao Ji smiled reluctantly: "Of course I can drink, I can drink until the evening......" He said very strongly, but his hand movements did not stop.

He stretched out his hand to grab the wine jar that Cai Ju'an was holding, Cai Ju'an hurriedly rushed to pour it for him in front of him, lowered his head, looked at him from the bottom up, controlled his voice into a very humble appearance, and said tremblingly: "His Royal Highness King Duan has a large number of people, and I really admire him." It's just that you have to drink this wine and eat some food, otherwise you won't be able to drink so much if you don't have anything to cushion. ”

"Got it, got it. Do everything possible to let me eat, just like Grandpa Song. Alas!" Zhao Ji sighed: "I don't understand the truth at all, but there are a lot of rules, why should I listen to others." I've suffered so much, you don't know what I've been through this day and night! Do you know, just one day's work, the Great Song royal family is going to collapse......"

Cai Ju'an was so frightened that he hurriedly ran to Zhao Ji and knelt down and said, "His Royal Highness King Duan! Although we have drunk wine and are good friends, we can't talk nonsense!"

Zhao Ji was so angry that he slammed the wine glass on the ground, the wine glass was broken into thousands of pieces, Cai Ju'an hurriedly waved his hand at the guy, and motioned to bring a few more glasses.

Zhao Ji gritted his teeth, tears flowed down his face, and said hatefully: "What, do you not believe me, or do you not believe yourself? I can't talk to my friends...... It's ridiculous and pitiful that I just want to be a prince, and I have to pay attention to so many rules and encounter so many dangers! Even the people closest to me, I can't fully trust them. I'm miserable. ”

The wine soaked Cai Ju'an's clothes and pants, and he felt a chill in his knees, as if his body was immersed in the cold lake water. However, he has experience in such things, after all, he can't even trust his biological father. He quickly calmed down and said, "Your Royal Highness Duanwang, there is no way to do this, but people don't have to tell all the truth to the same person. No one deserves complete trust, and the closer you get, the more dangerous it is in the back. ”

Zhao Ji's teary eyes blurred and said, "Is it really inevitable?"

"What do you say? Cai Ju'an laughed and said, "Since you have such feelings, you must have experienced such a thing beforeβ€”right?"

"......" Zhao Ji fell into a rare silence, he said for so long, and there was a rare pause for a moment, as if the Qianjiang tide had died down after the roar. Cai Ju'an looked up at him, his expression was solemn and sad, what he said just now must have evoked his bad memories. Or maybe he drank too much, and he was stupid.

Oh my God, let His Royal Highness King Duan drink so much wine, Cai Ju'an felt that he deserved to die. But thinking of His Royal Highness Duanwang's unreserved and chattering about him, and saying more to him than to Su Can, the lord with imperial equipment, Cai Ju'an was secretly happy again.

- Wait a minute, they've all drunk for half an hour, where did you go with the Imperial Equipment?

He was thinking about it, when suddenly a gentle floral fragrance approached, entangled with the strong alcohol in front of him, and turned into a beautiful trap of an intoxicating pomegranate skirt, he heard a woman laugh and said: "What's the matter, Cai Gongzi, His Royal Highness Duan Wang has drunk so much, you are a person who is not happy with alcohol, why did you show your cowardice when you met today, this is not good!"

As soon as he looked up, he saw a smiling Yan Ying, dazzling eyes like paint, willow eyebrows like hills, between breaths, plump and crisp breasts undulating, and the thin waist that was less than a hand moved like ripples, she was a delicate ripe fruit. is so wild and unabashedly beautiful that it is difficult to compare with her in the whole of Bianjing.

"Sister Yanying...... "Ah, she's so beautiful. As soon as Cai Ju'an talked to her, his thoughts were easy to wander. He finally stabilized himself and smiled at Yan Ying: "I'm afraid I'm too drunk to send His Royal Highness Duan Wang back." ”

"His Royal Highness King Duan, someone will take it back. Yan Ying smiled, put the three wine glasses on the table, picked up the wine jar and poured herself a glass, the same steady, not a drop leaked, she raised the glass with a smile, and said, "You are so cringe, His Royal Highness Duan Wang might as well drink with me." Isn't it, His Royal Highness Duanwang? ”

Zhao Ji looked up at her, a puzzled smile bloomed on his face, and said, "Do you recognize me? I remember your name, Yan Ying, don't you?" He was so drunk that he didn't have time to wonder, but he was simply happy, and seeing that there was no other place, he stood up and gave her a seat, and said, "Come, sit, come and have a drink!"

When Cai Ju'an saw it, he hurriedly gave them his place, and said again and again: "Sister Yanying...... Oh, Your Highness King Duan, sit here with me. ”

Zhao Ji didn't shirk it - he was so drunk that he disregarded etiquette, this is the benefit of drinking, drinking makes people free. He stumbled over and sat down with a cup, the person didn't sit firmly, and almost fell to the ground, Cai Ju'an was quick-eyed, held his shoulder, lifted him up, and Zhao Ji smiled: "What are you doing...... If you don't drink, don't get in the way of me and others. Wine is drunk by confidants, and poems are chanted to people......"

Hearing this, Cai Ju'an suddenly felt a thrill, a smile froze on his face, he lowered his head, and saw Zhao Ji's shiny and sly eyes: Why, I was so drunk just now that my eyes were empty, but now I drink more, but my eyes are getting brighter and brighter.

It seems that what little intellectual will he has left remains in his eyes, and is not annihilated by drinking. He was sure that His Royal Highness Duan Wang was really drunk, but this drunkenness seemed to be expected by him, it was a decision he made when he was sober, what was His Royal Highness Duan Wang thinking?

Yan Ying's face was always smiling gently, but the background color of her eyes was as cold as ice, the cold light that lit up after the knife shattered to the ground. She picked up the wine glass and handed it over lightly, not as low as Cai Ju'an, but calmly said to Zhao Ji without humility or arrogance: "His Royal Highness King Duan, this glass of wine of mine is here to see you off." ”

Cai Juan was shocked and said, "Sister Yanying, what are you talking about, are you also drunk?"

"Thank you, thank you. I do...... It is indeed necessary to face a world that has never been touched before. Zhao Ji was not surprised or shy about anything, he laughed, smiling like his eyes were shining, his eyes were full of gentleness and warmth, he raised his glass and saluted: "I don't know what the road ahead is, I can't even find the entrance, but it's good to have your wishes." ”

Yan Ying looked at him with a cold and beautiful smile on his face. She had always smiled so beautifully and fiercely, without sympathy or emotion, and without a gentle appearance, the wine glass was raised at the same time as her head, and her neck was beautiful and slender, and Cai Ju'an was dizzy to see.

Yan Ying's voice was completely different from her expression, it was cold, detached and cruel: "You're polite." It's just that when I saw you come in today, your face was full of gloom, probably because something had happened. I'm going to toast you quickly, for fear that if I miss this time, I won't be able to talk to you and drink again. ”

"Yes...... Zhao Ji lowered his head and smiled, "What does this mean?" ”

"Nothing interesting. Yan Ying got up, leaned in front of Zhao Ji, held up his slender chin with her fingers, forced him to look at herself, and said, "Your Royal Highness Duanwang, I hope you can cherish the present time, or look at me more...... Am I good-looking, His Royal Highness King Duan?"

"It's pretty. Zhao Ji smiled, "You are so good-looking, sister, no matter how many times you watch it, no matter how many years have passed, you are the most beautiful person, you will not forget because of what happened, and you will not change in the slightest because of the passage of time." ”

"Yes, thank you. I know I'm good-looking. Yan Ying smiled softly and mysteriously, "I hope you will always praise me like this, Your Highness King Duan." Anytime, anywhere...... Isn't that good?"

"Okay, okay......" Zhao Ji laughed and said, "I'll be okay with everything, and I'll agree to anything...... Only I know that I am the worst myself. It's ridiculous, I'm not ......."

With that, he drank the wine again, wiped his mouth, tilted his body, and the glass fell on the table, and rolled off the table to the ground.

"His Royal Highness King Duan is really drunk. Yan Ying looked at Zhao Ji with interest, someone called her in the distance, she answered the call and walked over, walked a few steps, looked back and smiled at Cai Ju'an, and said, "Cai Gongzi should also entertain this guest well." ”

Cai Ju'an watched her away with complicated eyes. Suddenly, Zhao Ji behind him fell from the chair with a bang, making a messy sound, Cai Juan turned around and ran over to help him up, but Zhao Ji giggled, laughing and tearing up: "I'm so lonely......"

Cai Ju'an didn't know what he had been through. He pondered for a while, and then comforted: "If the journey is dangerous enough, then it won't be too lonely, Your Highness Duanwang." ”

"Yes......" Zhao Ji said, "maybe, maybe someone will be willing to go with me, but that is only out of politeness, or limited favors, I really can't repay it." It's ultimately a matter for me alone. ”

"Your Royal Highness Duanwang, you probably don't fully understand what I mean. Cai Ju'an said softly, helping him back into the chair, "It's not just your partner who walks with you." ”

Zhao Ji sat paralyzed, with tears streaming down his face, looking at him in confusion, and asked, "Then what do you mean?"

Cai Ju'an lowered his head and smiled, and when he raised his eyes, his eyes had changed suddenly, from modest and insipid to alert and cold.

"The enemy is the one who is always on your side. They are cruel, stubborn, and will not abandon until death. Cai Ju'an said, "You are alive, not only for yourself, but also to defeat them." You live not only for those who love you, but also for those who hate you, and this is called 'bonding'. ”

"Ah......" Zhao Ji responded and yawned. Then his eyelids sank, and he slammed into the table unconscious.
