While he was talking, the door of the private room was pushed open, and Xiao Er led the two people in.

Seeing the two people following Xiao Er, Lu Xiaoxian couldn't help grinning, they were all old acquaintances: one was Cen Shaobai, and the other was Wang Hufeng.

Cen Shaobai saluted Lu Xiaoxian and said, "Son, I am dealing with Wang Yuan's diplomacy about matters related to the drunken Xiaolou!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian bought Wang Hufeng's drunken Xiao Lou, on the one hand, he solved the crisis of Qiu Feng's break, and on the other hand, he wanted to recruit Cen Shaobai to his command.

Cen Shaobai is very business-minded, Lu Xiaoxian is very optimistic about him, and many things will depend on him in the future.

Cen Shaobai is a cheerful person, and without saying a word, he agreed to Lu Xiaoxian's invitation and served as the shopkeeper of Zuixiao Tower.

Lu Xiaoxian smiled and said: "This dare is good, I am equivalent to eating in my own restaurant!" Shopkeeper Cen, do a good job, I can rest assured that Zuixiaolou will be handed over to you! ”

After listening to Lu Xiaoxian's words, everyone present was confused, and they didn't know what he meant.

Lu Xiaoxian then asked, "By the way, Shopkeeper Cen, Peach Blossom Ji also returned it to you, right?" ”

Before Cen Shaobai could answer, Wang Hufeng behind him hurriedly stepped forward and said first: "Master Lu, Peach Blossom Ji has been handed over to the shopkeeper Cen yesterday, and this afternoon, I also gave the deed of Zuixiaolou to the shopkeeper Cen and is now handing it over to him!" ”

A restaurant is just a drop in the bucket for Wang Hu Feng, the richest man in Luoyang. It stands to reason that such a trivial matter as handing over the restaurant does not require him to come forward in person. But Lu Xiaoxian's actions in the official office of Laijunchen made him feel uneasy, and in order not to have an accident, he went out in person.

Leng Qing listened to Wang Hufeng's words, and couldn't help but be surprised: Lu Xiaoxian actually bought Zuixiao Tower.

Leng Qing knew clearly about the grievances between Qiu Feng Po and Zuixiaolou, and of course he also knew that the owner of Zuixiaolou was Wang Hu Feng, the richest man in Luoyang. He didn't understand, how could Wang Hufeng agree to sell Zuixiao Tower?

"Wang Hufeng, it seems that your words still count!" Lu Xiaoxian nodded at Wang Hufeng, as if he remembered something, and asked, "Is Zhao Fengtang still in the restaurant?" ”

To open a restaurant, you must have a chef sitting in the back hall to be able to calm the scene. Chen San went to Yingzhou, and the head of Xuanxu Dao returned to the Shangqing Palace, and because of this, the level of the back hall of the autumn wind broke down. And Zhao Fengtang is Chen San's master, known as the "Three Uniques of the Kitchen God", as long as he is there, whether it is drunk Xiaolou or autumn wind, he can sit back and relax.

After listening to Lu Xiaoxian's inquiry, Wang Hufeng lowered his head and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Cen Shaobai hurriedly explained: "No matter how I persuade him, Zhao Fengtang just refuses to stay. If it weren't for the fact that the back hall was going to be handed over tonight, I'm afraid he wouldn't have come a long time ago! ”

"Wang Hufeng!" Lu Xiaoxian slapped the table and glared at Wang Hufeng angrily, "You did a good thing!" ”

Wang Hufeng couldn't help but tremble, his face showed a look of panic, and he hurriedly said: "Wronged! Lu Gongzi, it's not that I don't want to keep him, it's that he refuses to stay. I was even willing to pay him an extra year's wages, but he said he couldn't afford to lose this man, and he didn't want to keep any amount of money. ”

The dignified richest man in Luoyang was so low in front of Lu Xiaoxian, Leng Qing couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

It is understandable that Zhao Fengtang is reluctant to stay in Zuixiaolou, people with ability are generally very individual, and Zhao Fengtang played an important role in the process of Zuixiaolou and Qiufeng breaking the fighting method. Now, Zuixiao Tower was bought by Lu Xiaoxian, and it would be too much if Zhao Fengtang stayed

No face.

Lu Xiaoxian pondered for a moment, and then instructed Wang Hufeng: "Okay, I don't blame you for this, you go and help me call Zhao Fengtang!" ”

Wang Hufeng agreed, and went away at a trot.

After a while, Zhao Fengtang followed behind Wang Hufeng and entered the private room.

Seeing Lu Xiaoxian who was smiling and groaning, Zhao Fengtang snorted coldly and twisted his face to the side.

Zhang Meng was immediately unhappy when he saw this, and was about to get up to give him some color, but was held down by Lu Xiaoxian on the shoulder.

Lu Xiaoxian got up and came to Zhao Fengtang, and said lightly: "Master Zhao, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Zhao Fengtang didn't give Lu Xiaoxian any face, and directly refused: "No need, there is nothing to say between us!" ”

"Listen to what are you afraid of? It's a big deal, and then you can go! Lu Xiaoxian deliberately provoked, "Isn't it that you don't even dare to listen?" ”

"What am I afraid to hear!" Zhao Fengtang said with a cold face.

"That's good! Please come with me! With that, Lu Xiaoxian walked out of the private room.

Zhao Fengtang looked at Lu Xiaoxian's back, stomped his feet, and followed out.

I don't know what the two of them said outside the door, and after a while, Lu Xiaoxian entered the house first.

What surprised everyone was that Zhao Fengtang also came in. His expression was a little dazed, his eyes were a little strange, and his face was flushed as if he had just been sick.

After Lu Xiaoxian sat down, he coughed lightly and said, "Master Zhao!" ”

"Ahh Zhao Fengtang came to his senses and responded in a panic.

Lu Xiaoxian took a moment to complete, and directly ordered: "I'm going to drink here with my friends tonight, and I'm too lazy to order, you can pick what you are good at and let someone send it over!" ”

"Okay! I'll go! Zhao Fengtang lowered his head and agreed, and left the private room as if he had fled.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Wang Hufeng's mouth was open, and he didn't close it for a long time.

Cen Shaobai also felt incredible, and asked in a daze: "Childe, how did you persuade him?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian smiled faintly and said: "A key opens a lock, you failed to convince him because you didn't prescribe the right medicine." As for how I persuaded him, keep it a secret for now, and you will know later. ”

After a while, more than a dozen specialty dishes were served on the table by Xiao Eryi one by one, Zhao Fengtang deserves to be a chef, these dishes are full of color and flavor, which makes people can't help but have a great appetite.

Everyone was staggered, eating delicious food, drinking fine wine, and was so happy.

Lu Xiaoxian was unusual, and no longer persuaded to drink. If you want to drink, you will drink, and if you don't want to drink, or if you can't drink, you will laugh it off.

Persuasion of drinking, it seems to be enthusiastic, but there will be a feeling of imposing one's will on others, and it will even make people feel that there is some conspiracy hidden. After all, there was still a stranger present at the moment, and Lu Xiaoxian was somewhat restrained.

However, people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves, although Lu Xiaoxian does not persuade him to drink, Guo Zhen, Chen Xuanli and Long Zhuang have no intention of letting him go, and frequently raise a glass to him, and Lu Xiaoxian is also a person who does not refuse.

After drinking, Lu Xiaoxian asked Guo Zhen and Chen Xuanli about Yuan Shuji's situation.

When Guo Zhen heard this, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up, and said: "Although Yuan Shu is a scholar, he has a heart to serve the country, he came to my house to take the initiative to ask Ying, and wanted to go to the front, saying that even if he was a copywriter or a bookkeeper under my command, there was no complaint." But no matter what, people are also dignified East Palace long history, I said

It doesn't count, I can only politely refuse! ”

Chen Xuanli also nodded and agreed: "That's what he said when he came to me!" In order to be able to go to the battlefield, it is estimated that he has run to the mansions of these generals on this expedition, and he is really a hot-blooded man who worries about the country and the people! ”

Whether Yuan Shu is a hot-blooded man who worries about the country and the people, Lu Xiaoxian doesn't care, he just wants to know what Yuan Shu's idea is. Now it seems that Yuan Shu originally wanted to go to Yingzhou to expand his power for Li Dan. It's just that after Lu Xiaoxian met Li Dan, Li Dan completely said that he was sick and closed his door, which made Yuan Shuji's wishful thinking come to naught.

When Long Zhuang toasted Lu Xiaoxian, he didn't expect Lu Xiaoxian to repeat the old words: one day in the future, he will go to Long's Dart Bureau to be an ordinary executioner.

The last time he said goodbye in Taozhou, Lu Xiaoxian said this, and Long Zhuang only regarded it as a joke. But Lu Xiaoxian solemnly mentioned this matter again, and Long Zhuang couldn't take it seriously. He really couldn't understand why Lu Xiaoxian wanted to be an executioner?

Since Lu Xiaoxian mentioned it, of course Long Zhuang couldn't help but express his position.

"If Gongzi Lu doesn't dislike it, if he really wants to come, of course Long is welcome!"

Hearing Long Zhuang's words, Lu Xiaoxian was as happy as a child, and drank three cups in one breath to show his gratitude.

Drinking with friends who don't have to worry about it is a pleasure. Everyone drank for more than two hours before they staggered out of the drunken tower.

Back at the house, Lu Xiaoxian carefully recalled the details of tonight's banquet.

Wei Qing drank a good amount, during the banquet, Lu Xiaoxian toasted Wei Qing many times, and tested it with words, Wei Qing responded seamlessly, just right, without a trace of flaws.

No flaw is the biggest flaw.

Lu Xiaoxian had preliminarily concluded in his heart that Wei Qing was the spy of the leading soldier mentioned by Mr. Wang.

He couldn't help but snort coldly: spies are not so easy to do, as long as there is a move, they will leave clues.

……

The sun at noon is faint and comfortable, although the cold wind blows by from time to time, but there is sunlight shining on the body, which makes people's hearts feel a little warm.

Liang Wang's Mansion and Zhang Yizhi's Mansion are only separated by one street, and if you walk, it will only take half a pillar of incense to arrive, but Wu Sansi still chose to take a sedan chair to Zhang's Mansion for a banquet.

Over the years, Wu Sansi has tried his best to get closer to the Zhang brothers, and the effect is quite obvious. The Zhang brothers reciprocated the favor and helped him say some good things in front of Wu Zetian.

Although the relationship is good, it is the first time that Wu Sansi has been specially invited to a banquet like today.

It's just that the time of the banquet was placed at noon, which made Wu Sansi a little unexpected.

Wu Sansi's thoughts also swayed with the ups and downs of the official sedan chair.

Early tomorrow morning, Wu Sansi will officially take command of the expedition.

It stands to reason that Wu Sansi has no time to socialize at this juncture, but the Zhang brothers are no better than others, and he can't refuse.

Wu Sansi knew very well in his heart that the Zhang brothers would not invite him to come over for no reason.

What is going on?

Wu San thought about the collar of the brocade robe, frowned, and thought about it repeatedly for a long time, but he didn't come up with a reason.

He felt that his heart was very messy, and he couldn't help but pick up the side curtain of the sedan chair, poked his head and asked, "Sir!" What do you think the two brothers will do if they invite this king to come over? ”
