Chapter 22 Disputes
Meng Yi did not line up, but took Li Qing and the others straight to the city gate, and the soldiers of the Qin army guarding the city immediately became vigilant when they saw this.
A Qin army commander held the sword at his waist and shouted, "What are you doing, stop." ”
A guard next to Meng Yi immediately stepped forward and took out a jade talisman from his arms, and when the commander of the Qin army saw the jade talisman, a trace of fanaticism flashed in his eyes, and he immediately gave a military salute to Meng Yixing.
In this way, Meng Yi took Li Qing and entered Dangxian City very easily.
After entering the city, Huang Meng whispered to Li Qing: "Brother, the identity of this guy surnamed Meng is not simple, we still don't get involved with him." ”
Hearing this, Li Qing nodded, so he stopped Meng Yi and said, "Brother Meng, we brothers still have things to do in the city, so let's separate here." ”
Meng Yi said regretfully: "Originally, I wanted to invite the two of you to have a drink, but since the two of you have something to do, then let's leave it at that." ”
After Li Qing and Meng Yi and the others separated, Huang Meng took Li Qing to a wine shop to inquire about the news.
Li Qing looked at the city during the Qin Dynasty curiously, it was not as luxurious as he imagined, there were low houses made of civil engineering everywhere, and the people on the street were also wearing not good-looking linen clothes, and there was no shortage of garbage and even excrement everywhere on the street.
Occasionally, a group of Qin soldiers with swords could be seen patrolling, and whenever they appeared, the people around them would stop moving and make way for the Qin soldiers, and their fear of the Qin soldiers could be seen in the eyes of the people.
Moreover, Li Qing also found that people with swords could still be seen occasionally in the city, and it seemed that as long as they entered the city, the Qin army's control over weapons was not so strict, which surprised Li Qing very much.
Huang Meng was used to this, and said to Li Qing: "The people who can wear swords in this city are all related to the big families in the city, and the Qin army mainly investigates outsiders. ”
In the Dangxian County Guard's Mansion, a middle-aged man in a black official robe was leading the county officials to stand at the gate of the County Guard's Mansion, as if he was waiting for something.
Seeing this, the people around seemed to be very curious, and they didn't know who could greet the county keeper in person.
Dangjun County Guard, named Ju'an, was originally a Qi person, and later apprenticed to Li Si, was reused, and was appointed as the Dangjun County Guard.
Next to Ju An, there stood a burly bearded general, who was none other than Wang Xin, who had ridden into the city earlier.
Ju An looked at the sky and said to Wang Xin beside him: "Commander Wang, why hasn't the adult arrived yet, isn't something wrong?" ”
When Wang Xin heard this, he laughed and said: "Lord County Shou said that he was joking, there are many masters around my family, and what can happen, I think it is about to come." ”
When Ju An heard this, he nodded, and he also felt that he was too worried, and with the identity of that adult, no one should have the courage to provoke him.
While Ju An was waiting, the figure of a teenager appeared in front of Ju An and the others.
Ju An's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly took a few steps forward, bowed down and said, "Dangjun County Guard Ju An, I have seen Lord Meng." ”
The other officials of the county guard office didn't expect that the big man they had been waiting for was just a teenager, and they couldn't help but be stunned, but a dark-faced man saw the opportunity quickly, followed Ju An, and gave the young man a salute.
"Dangjun County Lieutenant Gao Shan Ming has seen adults."
"I've seen adults."
It turned out that this swarthy man was the county lieutenant Li Qing wanted to teach a lesson, Gao Shanming, I saw that this person was only six feet tall, with an ordinary appearance, and a flattering smile on his face at any time.
The young man nodded, signaling that everyone did not need to be polite, if Li Qing was here at this time, he would find that the young man who saluted these officials of Dangjun County was actually Meng Yi who brought him into the city.
"Brother, come, although the wine of this Dangjun is not as good as the wine of our Chu country, it also has a different taste."
In the wine shop, Huang Meng held the wine in the bowl and motioned for Li Qing to taste it.
Li Qing looked at the turbid liquid in the bowl, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, with a strange look on his face.
"It's ...... Wine? ”
Although Li Qing knew that the ancient wine was all low-alcohol wine, Li Qing really couldn't associate this thing in the bowl with wine.
This is a bowl of soup that tastes a little rancid, and Li Qing really can't imagine what it will be like for this thing to enter his stomach.
Huang Meng took the lead in draining the wine in his bowl, with a look of enjoyment on his face.
Seeing that Li Qing didn't drink, Huang Meng urged: "Brother, drink." ”
Li Qing coughed lightly a few times, his face showed a tangled look, and he asked hesitantly, "Big brother, how does it taste?" ”
Huang Meng was stunned for a moment and said, "Lie, this wine is much stronger than our Chu wine. ”
Li Qing hesitated for a moment, and poured the liquid in the bowl into his mouth under Huang Meng's expectant gaze.
"Poof"
When the wine entered his mouth, Li Qing suddenly felt that there were mixed flavors in his mouth, and an indescribable taste collided in his mouth, Li Qing really couldn't swallow this thing, and couldn't help but squirt out all of them in one gulp.
Huang Meng wiped the liquid that had been sprayed on his face, and his fierce face looked a little embarrassed.
Li Qing looked at Huang Meng with some embarrassment, wiped his mouth, and the scene became quiet for a while.
"Ahem, big brother, are you okay?"
After all, it was Li Qing who broke this strange calm, and as Li Qing spoke, Huang Meng suddenly burst out laughing.
"Brother, you don't even know how to drink, hahahahaha."
Huang Meng laughed heartily, Li Qing's face suddenly turned red, and explained: "Big brother, it's not that I can't drink, it's just that this wine is too hard to drink, even if it's horse urine, it's better than this thing." ”
Huang Meng smiled and said: "Brother, that's it, although this wine is not too good, but it is not bad, you can't drink it and just say it." ”
The argument between the two attracted the attention of the owner of the liquor store, and a strong man with a body of flesh walked out menacingly, still holding a jar of wine in his hand.
"Knock"
"Guest, you can look down on me, but you can't insult my wine, this is the best wine in the store, you taste it, if you can come up with a better wine than mine, I will give you free of today's meal money, if you can't take it, hum, you won't leave today."
The strong man glared angrily and pointed to the wine on the table and said.
Huang Meng snorted coldly: "My brother said that your wine is like horse urine, that is to lift you, what should you do?" ”
Li Qing didn't expect to cause this kind of trouble, he knew that he was at a loss, he hurriedly stopped the angry Huang Meng, and said to the owner of the wine shop: "Boss, you are losing your words, and the boss is angry." ”
The boss patted the table, pointed at Li Qing and said, "You drank this wine for me today, and this matter will be over today, if not, I will let you know how powerful I am Zhang San." ”
