Li Zhongyi led Yang Xiaoyi and Chu Xiong directly through the second gate and went straight to the West Flower Hall.

The West Flower Hall is where Li Zhongyi formally dins, and next to it is the small kitchen, which not only serves the food quickly, but also sits open when there are many people.

Li Yunxiao knew Li Zhongyi's temper very well, since the lord did not call the rest of the generals, he obviously didn't want Yang Xiaoyi and Chu Xiong to be too restrained.

Today's Li Yunxiao is no longer the unseen dumpling of the past, he knows very well in his heart that the more people who participate in the banquet, the lower the status, the more embarrassing it will be.

Why? Looking up, there are all high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and their every move is under the noses of others, which makes people fidgety and very worried.

"Everyone, let's all disperse, the mountain chief and his old man plan to treat him alone." Li Yunxiao was the top boss of the guards, and when he spoke, the honor guard in front of the door dispersed.

"Song Gong, what are the origins of those two junior officers? The mountain chief actually looked down on them so highly? Some people were a little jealous in their hearts, so they thought about inquiring about Yang Xiaoyi and Chu Xiong.

Li Yunxiao's mouth was so tight, he sighed deliberately, shook his head and said, "The lord suddenly ordered the middle door to be opened to greet him, how did I know so much?" ”

"Song Gong, you are too modest." The man understood Li Yunxiao's temper, what he didn't want to say, he wouldn't say it if he was killed, so he had to extinguish his heart to probe the bottom.

The weather is still cold, and Li Zhongyi's lunch and dinner generally eat hot pot, shabu mutton, and some seasonal side dishes, which are simple and affordable.

Since the copper hot pot was sorted out by Li Zhongyi, Caijiao, who originally had a small amount of food, had a great appetite, and she could eat at least one pound of mutton in one meal, which was really impressive.

Ye Xiaolan, who is pregnant, is not very cold to mutton, but she likes to eat fresh soup of mutton and vegetables, especially white siong.

After Li Zhongyi changed into civilian clothes, he pulled Yang Xiaoyi to sit at the table, and Chu Xiong consciously sat opposite Yang Xiaoyi, and the two surrounded Li Shanchang who was in the main seat.

"Brother Xiaoyi, when you come to me, you are as casual as going to your own home, don't be restrained. Now, it's time to eat and drink, let's not talk about military affairs, don't talk about business, we just need to eat meat and drink a lot of wine. ”

Although Li Zhongyi repeatedly encouraged Yang Xiaoyi to relax, Yang Xiaoyi always lowered his head and couldn't even speak.

Li Zhongyi didn't force Yang Xiaoyi to give up restraint, and he couldn't force it, he took the lead in raising the wine glass, his expression suddenly became solemn, and he said to Yang Xiaoyi very solemnly: "I like the heroes and heroes of blood and courage the most in my life, come, let us drink this cup for the national warriors." ”

Yang Xiaoyi was not lightly bluffed, and when he got up in a hurry, he actually knocked over a plate of thinly sliced mutton rolls, and the crisp and piercing sound of "dang ......" was particularly abrupt in the West Flower Hall.

"Small, small......" Yang Xiaoyi knew that he had made a big mistake, he was embarrassed to the extreme, his mind was full of mush, not only was he incoherent, but his originally dark face was black and red, red and purple.

Li Zhongyi smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "It's just a dish of side dishes, compared to Xiao Yi's countless enemies, it's not worth mentioning." Come on, sit down, sit down, let's get on with the drink. ”

By this time, Li Zhongyi could see that Yang Xiaoyi was indeed a simple man.

In the Li family's army, the generals of all sizes who followed Li Zhongyi to start a family are basically from simple and poor families.

Judging from the actual experience of getting along, Li Zhongyi knows very well in his heart that a man like Yang Xiaoyi with a simple nature, the more you respect him, love him, and reuse him, the more loyal he will be to you.

Li Zhongyi didn't want Yang Xiaoyi to be too restrained and embarrassed, so he simply excused himself that it was too hot indoors, so he took off his coat directly, and wore a pair of underwear, half of his shirtless, and drank with Chu Xiong and Yang Xiaoyi.

Chu Xiong's amount of alcohol is acceptable, Yang Xiaoyi, a rookie in the wine world, has suffered a crime, and the dish has not passed the five flavors, and it has been poured into a whirlwind, and he doesn't know where he is.

Just when Chu Xiong was dizzy, Li Zhongyi gave a light high-five, and saw two beautiful maids with swords coming in, lowering their heads and eyebrows, and standing respectfully in front of the table.

"Help our big hero to the west wing room to settle, and tell the kitchen to prepare decanting soup, and boil a pot of fish fillet and lamb soup porridge, and the food I love to eat on weekdays such as wowotou, dough cakes, and green onion cakes must be prepared." The two beautiful maids helped up Yang Xiaoyi, who was so drunk that he couldn't wake up, that Li Zhongyi suddenly stopped them, "Oh, by the way, squeeze another urn of red juice and feed him to drink, that one is the most sober." ”

Yang Lie is a stuffy gourd, he rarely talks when he is not fighting, and he has almost no friends in the army, but he drinks very well. Chu Xiong was not only the commander of the Forward Throat Battalion, but also deeply appreciated by Yang Lie, and he occasionally had the opportunity to accompany Yang Lie for a few drinks.

Over time, Chu Xiong gradually had some rough outlines of Li Zhongyi's personality and preferences.

Tut-tut, Chu Xiong never dreamed that Yang Xiaoyi, a dirt bun who had never seen the world, would so easily enter the eyes of the commander, and the future prospects are simply limitless!

Li Zhongyi saw a trace of loss that Chu Xiong couldn't hide, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth slightly, Yang Lie once commented on Chu Xiong in private: Chu Xiong is extremely smart, dares to fight, but is a little impetuous, the so-called jade is not cut, and it still needs to be honed.

The protagonist this time was originally Yang Xiaoyi. It's just that at Yang Lie's suggestion, Li Zhongyi decided to give Chu Xiong a chance to keep him by his side for the time being and observe him up close.

In view of Chu Xiong's unintentional hint of envy, Li Zhongyi temporarily decided to increase the weight, and he raised his voice and ordered, "Tell Zhu Niang, just pick two trained Goryeo maids from her, and let them serve the life of the Xiaoyi brothers in the future." ”

Chu Xiong's eyes widened, and as soon as Li Dashuai made a move, he rewarded two Goryeo maidservants to Yang Xiaoyi, which was really a bit exciting!

Not to mention, the market price of a young and beautiful Goryeo maid in Kaifeng has exceeded 1,000 guanwen, and the honor of Li Shanchang personally rewarding the maidservant alone is only a few people in the entire Li family army so far!

After Yang Xiaoyi was helped out of the door, Li Zhongyi looked at Chu Xiong with a smile, waved his hand and said, "I know that your alcohol consumption is very good, today is a rare opportunity, let's get drunk and rest." ”

Chu Xiong's little heart, who was originally devastated, finally gained a lot of comfort, at least, in the heart of the old man who commanded him, there was a place for him Chu someone.

"Come, drink this cup to the brim?" Li Zhongyi lifted his wine glass, but saw Chu Xiong standing at the table.

Yang Lie is not wrong, although the Chu Xiong in front of him is an excellent forward warrior, he is not a qualified good politician, and he really needs to be honed!

"What are you doing? Why don't you pour the wine in a hurry? Li Zhongyi deliberately raised his voice, but the tone that seemed to be reprimanding made Chu Xiong's heart feel overjoyed.
