Chapter Ninety-Seven: Yang Su's Good Intentions
Soon, after several guards helped Yuwenhu remove his armor, they were surprised to find that Yuwenhu was already scarred.
Thankfully, however, none of them were fatally wounded.
Mai Tiezhu is a straight person, he walked up to Yuwenhu, wanted to find out how Yuwenhu was injured, so he poked and dotted Yuwenhu's body, and Yuwenhu gasped in pain, looking at him and rolling his eyes.
Yang Su saw that Yuwenhu was only a minor injury and was fine, so he was a little relieved.
Then, he turned his head to look at Sima Jiu: "Good boy! The old man knows that a chivalrous warrior with strong martial arts is used to hurting people with his sword energy, but he didn't expect you to have such a means at a young age! ”
Sima Jiu knelt down and pleaded and said: "The subordinates are guilty, General Yuwen is strong, Xiaosheng doesn't dare to be careless, I don't know how to seriously hurt General Yuwen, I hope that the adults will punish him, and I hope that General Yuwen Haihan will be punished." ”
Sima Jiu knew that Yuwen Hu was injured by his own innocence sword qi, so he didn't explain, but just asked for punishment.
After all, injuring an imperial general in the military is not a good thing, especially for Sima Jiu, who has no identity background.
Therefore, it is the best policy to quickly ask for guilt and apologize.
"Soldiers against martial arts, only minor injuries, nothing to worry about, you get up."
Yuwenhu saw that Yang Su had forgiven Sima Jiu, so he didn't say anything more, but silently nodded to Sima Jiu, as if admitting defeat.
Yang Su glanced at Yuwen Hu up and down, and said, "Although General Yuwen has been injured in many places, there is no fatal wound, so it seems that your kid should have deliberately left his hand." ”
Sima Jiu vaguely understood why Yang Su wanted to tell Yuwenhu's injury to his face, thinking about it, he wanted to correct Sima Jiu's name in front of many generals and subordinates, which was tantamount to directly stating that Sima Jiu's strength should not be underestimated.
Sima Jiuzuo said: "The adults are discerning, and the little students are admired. ”
When Yang Su heard this, he stopped talking, and Yuwenhu was immediately carried by the guards to treat his injuries.
Everyone then returned to the banquet, and during the banquet, it seemed that a layer of estrangement had been pierced, and the atmosphere became much warmer.
After Yang Su ate halfway, he deduced that he had left in advance, and the generals had no one to control them, and they became more and more profligate.
Mai Tiezhu is a fierce general with a face like the bottom of a pot, tall and strong, and is now an official and a general in chariots.
Sima Jiu tried hard to recall the historical knowledge he had learned in his previous life, and vaguely remembered that Mai Tiezhu seemed to be Yang Guang's favorite general, and finally died on the Goguryeo front.
Mai Tiezhu has a cheerful personality and is good at wine, so Sima Jiu drank several glasses with him.
All of them were Yang Su's cronies and generals, and when they saw that Sima Jiu was young, handsome and so bold, their attitude towards him gradually changed, and they no longer treated him as a poor person, they clinked glasses with Sima Jiu and drank, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
Li Jiancheng saw that Sima Jiu drank a lot, and he was afraid that he would not be able to drink, so he helped him block a lot.
However, Li Jiancheng didn't know that the warmth in Sima Jiu's chest was still there when he duel just now, and that breath was quite peculiar.
It carries the smell of wine, in Sima Jiu's body, along the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, wandering around, therefore, the more Sima Jiu drinks, the clearer his eyes become, and the more sober his mind becomes.
Moreover, in his previous life, Sima Jiu's alcohol consumption was acceptable, and he could drink one or two catties of 52-degree liquor.
Today, the Sui Dynasty still made wine from koji, and the alcohol content is not high, which is equivalent to the seventeen or eighteen-degree wine of later generations.
For Sima Jiu, this kind of wine is like drinking beer, and it won't be on the top at all.
After three rounds of drinking, except for the people at the table in the main hall who were still drinking, the people in the side hall left one after another.
Seeing this, Sima Jiu took the initiative to attack, and drank a few glasses with all the generals and bureaucrats present, and by the time everyone realized that this white-faced boy had an unfathomable amount of alcohol, they had all fallen to the ground.
Even the most drinkable of all was the Iron Rod, and after barely drinking the last half of the wine, he collapsed on the table.
Sima Jiu looked around at the seat, and at this time, except for him and Li Jiancheng, most of the others were drunk and unconscious.
"Come on, it seems that the legendary wine culture does have a long history."
Li Jiancheng saw Sima Jiu's exclamation, so he admired: "Ninth brother, you are really hidden, every time I stay with you for a few more moments, you will give me one more surprise, I really can't imagine that you actually poured all the uncles and generals on this table!" ”
"Could it be that your family is a winemaker, and you grew up drinking since childhood?"
Sima Jiu laughed and said: "Haha, those who know me, Brother Jian, don't worry, in the future, I will take care of you." ”
The two laughed and were about to go back to the Xiangtianxia hot pot restaurant to rest, but as soon as they walked to the gate of the courtyard, they were stopped by two guards, saying that Yang Su was going to summon them.
The two were shocked when they heard this, and after a little tidying up, they followed the guards to a side courtyard of the General's Mansion.
Sima Jiu leaned into Li Jiancheng's ear and asked softly, "Brother Jiancheng, I don't know what Lord Yang wants?" ”
"Let's do it when we have the right to do it!" Li Jiancheng shook his head and walked into the side courtyard.
As soon as he entered the hospital, Sima Jiu noticed Yang Su in the main hall, he was writing something with a pen.
The door of the hall was opened, the breeze blew through the hall, the candlelight was swaying, Yang Su looked up and saw Sima Jiu and Li Jiancheng, so he slowly put down the pen in his hand, and motioned for the two to come closer.
They were about to salute, but Yang Su stopped.
"This is not a public court, so you don't need to see it."
Sima Jiu and Li Jiancheng understood, so they came to the table, only to see the Shu paper on the desktop, and the two big words 'not afraid' were eye-catching.
Yang Su looks old and calm, but his calligraphy is full of tension, the pen is sharp, and every stroke is like breaking through the paper and stabbing into the sky.
Sima Jiu didn't understand calligraphy, so he didn't dare to speak, Li Jiancheng looked at the word 'not afraid', but nodded again and again.
"Virtuous nephew, before this expedition, the old man accompanied His Majesty to your house in person, your second brother Li Shimin, that is, the prodigy who can help the people in Li Xuanying's mouth, Your Majesty likes it very much."
Yang Su shook his wrist lightly and said slowly.
Sima Jiu secretly shouted that it was not good, Yang Su was going to plant a thorn in Li Jiancheng's heart.
The eldest son of a wealthy family enjoys the right of inheritance, which is a patriarchal system that has been passed down for a long time.
However, not everyone will follow this conventional patriarchal system, and some will even regard it as a shackle.
Especially those non-eldest sons in the family who have an extraordinary destiny, they may bring benefits and honor to the family, but for the family, their appearance is not necessarily a good thing.
"Although the boy is not yet seven years old, he can make a bow and arrow very good, and when he talks to His Majesty, he is also full of energy, without the slightest fear, and His Majesty likes him very much."
While speaking, Yang Su looked at Li Jiancheng silently.
"Originally, Your Majesty wanted to marry Princess Changyang to Li Shimin."
When Li Jiancheng heard such news, his face turned pale, after all, he was still a teenager who was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and no matter how cultivated he was, he couldn't stop his heart.
"However, the young and the young are orderly, the virtuous nephew is the eldest son, and he is still unmarried, how can the children of the family mess with the patriarchal law and marry first, Your Majesty also listened to the old man's words, and only then did he retract his thoughts."
Li Jiancheng bowed down, with a lot of thoughts in his heart, but he didn't know what to say, so he was silent.
Yang Su's face was still pale, and he added: "The land of Guanlong, the population is not as good as Shandong, and the wealth is not as good as Jiangnan, but my people in Guanlong, sitting in the imperial capital, controlling the world, the key is that I Guanlong clan." The old man is old, and in the future, the empire will still need the heirs of the Guanlong clan to defend him. ”
Yang Su looked at Li Jiancheng and Sima Jiu, showing a smile of encouragement.
