Chapter 43: The Uninvited Guest
Wanhualou red lights hang high, lively and abnormal, looking for women or soft or crisp laughter, upstairs and downstairs fragrant and charming, men and women hugging and hugging, in this place of singing and dancing, no one thought that there is a dark room, the interior is splendid, there is a golden lacquer carved dragon throne, a wearing a dragon robe, with a silver-white mask, there is a look of the king of the world, there is a group of men standing below, dressed in night clothes, masked, only two dark eyes are exposed outside.
The silver-faced man on the throne spoke: "Hmph, Xiao Jing, that old guy, let Xiao Chenxuan recruit three thousand armor soldiers on his own, this is more than the establishment of the East Palace and goes against the ancient precepts, I really don't know what this old thing thinks." After Xiao Chenxuan woke up from the waste, he seemed to be a different person, making wine, opening a restaurant, exporting a chapter, and now he will also train soldiers, hum, if he is given more time, it will become a big disaster. ”
The silver-faced man on the throne pondered for a while and said, "Thirteen, you don't have to wait for this waste to go to Xindu, give you two or three days to arrange it, I want this waste to die, if it fails, you don't have to come back." ”
The silver-faced man's voice was disguised, and no one had ever seen the true face of the silver-faced man, and even the group of black-clothed people standing below only knew that the silver-faced man had saved himself and others when he or his family was in trouble, and named himself and others Chang Yi Chang Er to Chang Ninety-nine, and let himself and others continue to train, doing things for the master to repay their kindness, and from the beginning of the training to the present, they have been masked between themselves and others, and they have not seen each other.
The man in black called Chang Thirteen walked out, as the most powerful person among all people, he has always been mainly responsible for assassinating the owner. It's the same this time, Chang 13 didn't ask the reason, and replied directly: "Yes, master." ”
After saying that, he retreated.
Then the silver-faced man on the throne spoke again: "Chang Yi, give me the goal of killing the ministers of the court, it is best to master their handles, and I can use them at a critical time." ”
Chang Yiyi: "It's the master, over the years, I have already had a lot of useful information about them, but I didn't expect that this group of ministers, who are usually full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, are secretly male thieves and female prostitutes, killing people and setting fires to do everything." ”
The silver-faced man on the throne laughed and said, "Well, well, if it weren't for that, how could they be of my use." Chang Er, keep an eye on the two people on the border, and have the opportunity to reveal some important information to Han and Liang, and it is best that they will never come back. ”
Chang Er walked out and replied, "Yes, master, I'll arrange it." ”
The silver-faced man said coldly, "Well, go ahead!" You all work hard with me, and in the future, I will ascend to the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and I will never treat you badly. ”
A group of people immediately knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Thank you, master, I will be loyal to my master to the death." ”
In the mansion of the old general Chen, the old general and Liang Jun, who had just returned from recruiting soldiers, were having dinner, and the food, wine and food were all from the Tianxia Restaurant, and Liang Jun, who had drunk too much, was very angry and complained loudly.
"Master, you say, why is this King Ji so shameless! Like a scoundrel. ”
The old general glared at Liang Jun and said angrily, "Huh? King Ji offended you? If you are bold enough to insult the prince, do you know what the crime is. ”
After speaking, the old general picked up the cup and drank the three days of drunkenness in the cup in one gulp.
Liang Jun blushed, but stood up, knowing that he had made a mistake in his words just now, and whispered: "That didn't offend me, but he cheated me." ”
The old general smiled, waved his hand and said, "Oh! Tell me how he tricked you?
The old general didn't blame himself, Liang Jun said loudly: "That day, King Ji selected soldiers, I sent him two pigs, and also sent him eight thousand taels of silver, and said okay, he eliminated the soldiers for me, but after the first day of eliminating 2,300 people and handing them over to me, he was not ready to give me the rest, and he didn't return my money, but it was the money allocated by the imperial court to recruit soldiers, master, you said, isn't he a scoundrel?" ”
The old general was quite interested, and there were people who used money to buy soldiers who had been eliminated by others.
"Haha, the old man thinks it's a big deal, you give money, and King Ji will eliminate the soldiers and return to you, isn't that Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer! How can you blame others, and if you don't have it, you will give 2,003 soldiers! ”
Hearing the old general say that King Ji gave him 2,300 soldiers, Liang Jun was even more angry and said: "I have a good agreement with King Ji, and his 5,000 people will be eliminated and 4,000 will be returned to me, but this is still 1,007, so he won't give it." ”
After Liang Jun finished speaking, he picked up the wine on the table and drank it all.
The old general looked at Liang Jun helplessly, and then shook his head.
I didn't think that Liang Jun drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, stood up crookedly, and said that after the master rested early, he called a few generals who came up, and walked out.
Liang Jun, who was on top of the alcohol, said to several colleagues and brothers after leaving the gate of the old general's mansion: "I really can't bear this breath, King Ji will either return the money or give it to people, brothers, let's go to King Ji together to ask for an explanation." ”
After listening to this, a few generals on the alcohol side didn't care whether they offended King Ji or not, and said in unison: "Let's go, find King Ji for an explanation." ”
As soon as a few people finished speaking, lightning and thunder roared in the sky, and it seemed that there were signs of rain?
One of the generals said, "I don't know the day!" It's so late, and the Jiwang Mansion is so far away, what if it rains heavily? ”
How could Liang Jun, who was on top of the alcohol, hear this, and shouted loudly: "Go, what are you afraid of?" After speaking, several people got into the carriage with the support of the soldiers, and walked towards the Ji Wangfu.
In the dark night, after a trace of thunder flashed in the sky, it suddenly became silent and cold, and from time to time you could hear the rustle of the wind blowing the leaves, and suddenly several black shadows swept past Xiao Chenxuan's window, and Xiao Chenxuan in the house, At this time, it was a little floating, the world's restaurants and three days of drunkenness and gold fighting, the Flying Tiger Army and the Wolf Army changed three times a day under the sudden training of Chen Junxi and Yu Gang.
I thought that as long as I developed in an orderly manner, in the near future, I could be in power over the world, sitting on the knees of beautiful women, I entered the kitchen before it was dark, and personally made a braised chicken wings, sauced beef, and a few dishes of side dishes, called Li Changan, who I met in the Tianxia Restaurant, and began to chat.
"Chang'an, you said, you have been in Persia for so long, have you ever heard of a food called potatoes or peppers?"
Li Changan frowned, peppers, potatoes, why have you never heard of them?
"Lord, I, I've never heard of it? What is this chili potato? What does it look like? ”
Xiao Chenxuan didn't know how to describe it to Li Changan, and after thinking about it for a long time, he remembered that the chili pepper at this time should be called devil's fire, should the potatoes be called ground eggs or what?
"Peppers should be called devil's fire, red, slightly shorter than chopsticks, so thick with little fingers, potatoes are called ground eggs or something, plant one in the land in the spring, and dig up a bunch when it is ripe in the summer."
Li Changan was shocked that Xiao Chenxuan, who was in the royal family, actually knew about the devil's fire and earth eggs thousands of miles away, far away in Persia.
"Lord Wang, devil fire, I have seen it, the Persian Gulf is relatively humid, and people like to eat devil fire, saying that it can get rid of moisture. There are also ground eggs, but I heard that eating ground eggs is easy to get smallpox, so it is not very popular there, but some poor people are eating them. ”
Xiao Chenxuan was very excited when he heard that Li Changan had seen chili peppers and potatoes, grabbed Li Changan, and said loudly: "Do you know if anyone brought potatoes and chili peppers to Shenzhou?" ”
Looking at Xiao Chenxuan's appearance, Li Changan was startled. "The king... Lord Wang,"
Hearing Li Changan's shout, Xiao Chenxuan realized that he was too excited, and hurriedly let go of his hand and said, "I'm sorry, this king is too excited, you know where it is." ”
Li Changan said: "Lord, on the road of Shenzhou, there are also many Hu merchants, some of them like to bring chili peppers with them, and occasionally eat them, but I don't know about potatoes, so I will take people to check everywhere tomorrow, whether Hu Shang is there, if there is, I will inform the prince again." ”
Xiao Chenxuan nodded and said, "Okay, the king of tomorrow will go with you." ”
Li Changan, who was full of food and drink, after receiving the first task given by Xiao Chenxuan, was about to go out to consult the housekeeper of Xia Wang, where is Hu Shang, I will take the prince tomorrow, and was about to leave after saying good night to Xiao Chenxuan, at this time, a group of uninvited guests suddenly jumped out of the window.
