Chapter 11: Conversation at the Night Banquet

When the banquet was late, Zhang Xiao took Xiao Qi to greet Lin Feng, told them to drink less, and then went to rest first.

After the two went out, Lin Feng picked up the wine jug and filled Zhao Xingjie with wine, and then looked at him and asked, "Brother-in-law, when my sister was there just now, there were some things I didn't want to ask." Now it's just the two of us, and I'll just say, you seem to be happy one night, but I can see that you seem to have something on your mind? Is it convenient to talk about it? ”

Zhao Xingjie was holding a wine glass, paused when he heard it, then looked at Lin Feng in surprise and asked, "Can you see it?" ”

Lin Feng nodded, and replied as a matter of course: "Of course, brother-in-law, the most important thing in this business is eyesight!" I want to have no eyesight at all, so I come out to run a business! Right? ”

Zhao Xingjie nodded thoughtfully, took a sip of wine, and then said lightly: "It's okay to talk about it, the imperial court will use troops against Daqi next year, so all over the country will start recruiting troops, and each county will send five hundred soldiers!" But how can there be so many soldiers in my county! Even if all the officials and city guards are pulled out, at most they will make up such a number! But my neighborhood is not very stable, in this troubled world, there are bandits and grass bandits everywhere, if I hand over all the people, if there are bandits and bandits come to the city to rob and sweep, what can I do? ”

Speaking of the end, Zhao Xingjie drank all the wine in the cup even more depressedly, and shook his head and sighed when it was over.

After Lin Feng listened to his words, he was also puzzled in his heart, but he didn't remember anything, and asked closely: "Isn't Datang also good now?" ”

"Yes! But after all, one mountain can't tolerate two tigers, so you can't suddenly pop up a big Qi and divide the country equally with the Tang Dynasty! Today's emperor is young, and these things are basically decisions made by Tian Lao, the first eunuch of the dynasty! If the army is used next year, the people will surely suffer countless casualties and misery! Zhao Xingjie's tone was quite helpless.

"Tian Lingzi?" Lin Feng frowned and asked.

"Huh? You know? Zhao Xingjie looked at Lin Feng suspiciously and asked.

Lin Feng hurriedly shook his head and explained, "I don't know, listening to what you said, I seem to have such a person in mind!" ”

"Also, Tian Lao's name is now louder than the emperor's, and it's not surprising that you have stayed in Chengdu!" Zhao Xingjie didn't suspect it, but just inferred back according to common sense.

"Brother-in-law, are you worried about the bandits who attacked your sister's carriage and horses?" Lin Feng picked up a piece of big fat and put it in his mouth, thinking about what he could do.

"Well, that's the batch!" Zhao Xingjie rubbed his forehead in distress and continued: "The bandits nearby basically listen to the orders of Qi Sans, and there are quite a few of his subordinates, there are four or five hundred people, but they are scattered all over the place, and they don't usually gather together!" So I just want to exterminate them, and I can't find the right time! ”

"Do you know where his main stronghold is, brother-in-law?" Lin Feng continued to ask Zhao Xingjie.

"Well, I know, I know, fifteen miles outside the city, there is a cottage there in Qi Sans, and he gave that mountain a special vulgar name, Qi Dashan!"

When it came to Qi Dashan, Zhao Xingjie was obviously a little disdainful. This is understandable, for an official who has received a feudal physique education, the name of this mountain is indeed too cheesy!

Lin Feng pondered for a long time, raised his head and looked at Zhao Xingjie and asked, "Brother-in-law, do you think I can handle this matter?" ”

"Huh?" Zhao Xingjie was about to drink, and when he heard it, he glanced at Lin Feng in surprise, then put down the cup in his hand and waved at him: "No, no, absolutely not!" How could I let you take such a risk! ”

"It's okay brother-in-law! I can try! ”

"No, there are so many people on the other side, and they are all bandits and bandits who kill people without blinking!" Zhao Xingjie continued to wave his hand and veto my proposal.

Seeing that he was so resolute, Lin Feng couldn't force it anymore, so he had to give up and continue drinking.

"That's right, Kaede!" Zhao Xingjie was suddenly startled, and then said to Lin Feng mysteriously: "I have cigarettes from other places here, do you smoke?" ”

"Smoke? That's great! Hurry up! Lin Feng almost jumped up with excitement when he heard this, because during these smokeless days, he was all rolled up with weeds to enjoy it...

"Look at me, I didn't tell you in advance!" Saying that, Zhao Xingjie got up and brought a small box from the side, opened it and said to Lin Feng: "If you like it, you can take it all!" It's all sent by the people below, and I don't need this! ”

Lin Feng hurriedly took out a box from it, didn't bother to look at it, took out a cigarette and lit it, took a hard puff, and only exhaled a long puff of smoke after a while, and sighed quite refreshingly: "Good smoke, good smoke!" It's so timely! Then he looked at the box on the table, turned his head to Zhao Xingjie and said, "Since it was sent by my brother-in-law, then, then I'm welcome?" ”

"Well, I don't need this, you can take it if you like it!" Zhao Xingjie sat down on the seat slowly, looking a little drunk.

Then chatted casually for a while, and after a few glasses of wine, Zhao Xingjie had already begun to yawn. Lin Feng pondered that the time was not early, so he opened his mouth to persuade: "Brother-in-law, the time is not early, why don't you rest early?" ”

Zhao Xingjie glanced out of the door with drunken eyes, reached out and yawned again, nodded, got up and stretched and said to Lin Feng: "Don't say that you don't feel sleepy, but when you mention it, you can't be sleepy!" Let's do this today, I'll go back and rest first, and I have official business to deal with tomorrow! ”

"Mmmm, I'm sleepy too, so I'll go back to my room to rest soon!" Lin Feng hurriedly stood up and helped Zhao Xingjie, Zhao Xingjie turned his head and smiled, and shook it twice: "It's okay, I'm fine!" ”

After finishing speaking, he pushed away Lin Feng's hand and staggered out. Lin Feng turned around and ate a few more bites of food, and after drinking a glass of wine, he ran back to the room with a box of cigarettes.

In the dark room, Lin Feng swayed and touched randomly, scolding in his heart, how did this ancient person live, what can a black light blind do?

There was a "pop", the sound of porcelain falling to the ground, and Lin Feng didn't know what it had broken.

It was not easy to touch the candlestick and fire fold on the table, and after lighting it, he found that he had dropped a teacup, so Lin Feng squatted down and cleaned it up, after all, he lived in someone else's house, so it was not good for people to see...

Unexpectedly, because he drank too much, he didn't squat steadily when he squatted on the ground, and as a result, he fell, and the bad thing was that a small hole was cut on his arm by a broken porcelain piece.

However, Lin Feng didn't care so much, simply cleaned up, took a box of cigarettes and lay on the bed while taking advantage of the light of the candle, only to find that the wound kept bleeding, and subconsciously inhaled it with his mouth, and then picked up a cigarette and put the tobacco on it, which stopped the bleeding instantly.
