Chapter 521: The General of the Cold Gate
Welcoming guests, it is just a small hotel in Youzhou City. A small store on the first floor, seven or eight small tables in the lobby, and three private rooms. The meals usually sold are common, nothing more than some beef and mutton and seasonal vegetables, and the wine is also the worst wine, which most Youzhou people consume.
Yu Zhen and Gu Zhixin set up the banquet here, which shows that the two of them are not rich.
"General Qin is here, set up a thin wine to wash the general's dust, and ask the general not to dislike it." As soon as Qin Wang stepped into the tavern, Yu Zhen and the others greeted him and brought Qin Wang into the private room.
"The two eldest brothers are polite, forget the first time they arrived, the two brothers are willing to invite the forgetful to drink, this love is forgotten." Qin Forget smiled slightly, slightly one step behind the two of them, and walked in.
After repeated pushing, the eldest Yu Zhen sat at the top, Gu Zhixin followed, and Qin Wang, the largest official, sat at the bottom. Qin Wang's approachability made Yu Zhen and the two very impressed.
Qin Forget looked at the table and saw four large porcelain bowls on the table, one bowl contained half a catty of beef, one was a one-foot-long half-large carp, all of which had no side dishes, they were very rough, and the other was two vegetarian dishes. Next to the dish was a jar the size of a human head, and the wine was already full, giving off a pungent smell of bad wine.
This kind of meal to entertain guests is really a little lower, Qin Forget hurriedly looked away, for fear that Yu Gu and the others would be embarrassed.
"General Qin smiled, our brothers are not very rich, don't blame the general!" Seeing Qin Wang's eyes, Yu Zhen's face turned red and said a little embarrassed.
Qin Forget smiled slightly, picked up the thick bowl and drank all the bad wine inside, "Forget to drink and don't pick wine and food, pick people!" ”
Seeing Qin Wang's bold appearance, Yu Zhen and the others applauded loudly, feeling that Qin Wang was very angry with them.
"Ahem......" Before the words of the two of them fell, Qin Wang coughed violently.
The smiles on the faces of the two froze suddenly, and they thought that Qin Forget couldn't get used to drinking such bad wine, and they didn't know what to do for a while.
"Don't blame the two commanders, my general doesn't drink alcohol in the first place, and he has just recovered from a serious illness, so he will be like this." Xue Feiyun is also a good person, and when he saw this situation, he hurriedly strode over, and explained while pouring a glass of water for Qin Wang.
Drinking the large bowl of tea handed by Xue Feiyun, Qin Forget was much better, "Feiyun, you go first, you won't be needed here." ”
Seeing that Qin Wang's face was flushed and tears were choking out, Yu Zhen and the others also believed that Qin Wu couldn't drink, and they didn't look down on them in the slightest.
"I can't imagine that General Qin is so heroic, he doesn't drink." Gu Zhixin said incredulously.
"Brother Gu smiled." Qin Forget smiled bitterly, "Don't hide it from the two eldest brothers, I don't have enough food in Chicheng, how can I use it to make wine." Prohibition is still in place, and I can't afford to eat this dish in Akagi. ”
"What? You are a dignified General Qin, who is in charge of hundreds of thousands of people, and you can't even afford to eat such a meal? Hearing Qin Forget say this, even Yu Zhen didn't believe it anymore.
"It's true, hundreds of thousands of people, that's hundreds of thousands of mouths. Don't hide it from the two, the brothers haven't tasted meat for a whole year before. Qin Forget nodded.
Hearing that Qin Forget of the princes of one side had been so miserable, Yu Zhen and the others couldn't believe it, but they felt a lot less embarrassed in their hearts, and they felt that their relationship with Qin Forget was a lot closer.
In fact, Qin Wang's words were deliberately said, just to relieve the mustard in the hearts of the two, and it can be seen from here how detailed Qin Wang's mind is.
"General Qin is really a person who has achieved great things." Yu Zhen said with emotion.
"Yes, General Qin, I know you can't drink,
But you must drink this glass of wine, if nothing else, I designed and slaughtered 50,000 Khitans for you. Gu Zhixin raised the wine bowl and said admiringly.
Qin Forget was not ambiguous, raised the wine bowl and drank it again.
"General Qin is really happy, I am old enough to make up your brother." The more Yu Zhen looked at Qin Wang's temper, he couldn't help but shout, "Come, brother, eat some food, tell us how to kill the Khitan." ”
After a few taels of bad wine, Qin Wang was slightly drunk, but he still maintained a little clarity, and he selectively told the two of them how to kill the Khitans. When it came to the ** place, the two couldn't help but applaud, and even persuaded them to drink constantly, and Qin Forget soon became confused.
Wine is the best relationship fusion agent for men, and when the wine is half-drunk, the three of them will be called brothers, and they are like one person.
"Two, two, two big brothers." Qin Wangchang is still the first to get drunk when he is so old, his tongue is a little disobedient, and his speech is knotted, "The younger brother offended the Yan Jiang family when he first came to Youzhou, and even killed the children of the royal family, the two eldest brothers are so close to the younger brother, are they not afraid of being affected by the younger brother?" ”
Don't look at Qin Wang, he looks drunk, in fact, he is only seven points drunk, this is deliberately to test the two of them. Qin Forget is not a suspicious person, but he also believes that there is no love for no reason in this world, let alone hate for no reason, these two people take the initiative to be better with him, and they can't help but make him suspicious.
"Involved? Our brother is still afraid of involvement? When Yu Zhen heard this, he seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world, he laughed out loud, and his tears were about to burst into laughter, "Brother Gu, tell me, are we two plague gods in the Zhenbei Army afraid of being affected?" ”
Seeing that Yu Zhen was a little crazy, Gu Zhixin, who obviously hadn't drunk too much, smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Third brother, don't be surprised, eldest brother drank too much again." The third brother didn't know that our two brothers were the least popular with Shangguan and colleagues, and if it weren't for Li Xianzhi's view that our two brothers still had some ability, our small battalion commander would not be able to do it properly. ”
At that moment, Gu Zhixin told Qin Forget about the situation of the two.
It turned out that both of them were veterans for more than ten years, and they did have a few brushes on their hands. But because his personality is too upright, he has really offended many people, so he is only a battalion commander until now.
The situation of the two is also very embarrassing, Li Xianzhi doesn't want to see them, and he can't bear their ability, so he has been hanging them up and down. Especially Yu Zhen, he was even more depressed.
"Third brother, I know what you're worried about. That's right, it's really unreasonable for me and my eldest brother to be reckless in befriending the third brother, but we really admire the general's personality. Especially the eldest brother, I heard that you killed 50,000 Khitans in one fell swoop, and he kept talking to me about getting to know you. Gu Zhixin patted Qin Wang's shoulder and said sincerely.
Looking at Gu Zhixin's sincere appearance, Qin Forget felt a little ashamed in his heart, he also knew a lot of people when he asked himself, Yu Gu and the two definitely didn't seem to be fake, and they felt that they had become villains for nothing.
"Don't blame the second brother, the third brother thinks too much." Qin Forget said apologetically.
"Human nature, human nature." Gu Zhixin smiled and said freely.
After this pass, the relationship between the three of them got closer, and they discussed their experiences in leading troops, which was so lively. Qin Forget found that these two people did have great skills, much more clever than Dong Zhuang and Yang Xuan, and even no less than the establishment of this veteran of a hundred battles.
"Yo, who should I be, it turns out that you two poor sours again." Just when the three of them were talking happily, a strange voice suddenly sounded outside the window of the private room.
Qin Wangxun followed, and there were five or six men outside who were also dressed as commanders of the Zhenbei military camp
Ran drank too much, and was looking at this side with a grin. It was a man with a feminine face who spoke, and his eyes were full of mockery as he looked at Qin Wang.
"Li Lei, who the hell are you scolding for being poor?" Hearing the man's disrespectful words, Gu Zhixin stood up and scolded with a calm face.
"Cut, who else can I scold, of course I scolded you, I said, they are all from the first army in the north of the town, can you not give Lao Tzu such a share, every time you drink, you come to this place. If you don't have the money to talk to the master, the next time you go to Cuixiang Building, as long as you are obedient, the master will also take you to open your eyes. That guy named Li Lei was obviously not afraid of Gu Zhixin, and still laughed with a grin.
"Second brother, who are they?" Qin Forget looked at these people, his brows furrowed deeply.
"Like us, they are all battalion commanders of the First Army. The seven of them are all from the family, the leader is called Li Lei, who is the distant nephew of Li Chengan, the left minister, who is usually high-flying and domineering, and has many conflicts with our brothers. Yu Zhen glanced at those people in disgust and introduced Qin Wang.
It's the Li family again, Qin Forget stood up with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth, didn't say a word, raised the wine bowl in his hand and threw it at Li Lei.
"Oops! How the fuck do you dare to smash me? Give me ......" Qin Forget smashed it quickly and ruthlessly, and immediately opened the scoop for Li Lei. He covered his head and pointed at Qin Wang, but when he saw Qin Wang's face clearly, he held back the words behind him.
Because Yu Zhen had always turned his back to the window and blocked Qin Wang, Li Lei and his party didn't see Qin Wang, and now Qin Wang suddenly appeared, which really scared Li Lei and them.
In just a few days, the news of Qin Wang's killing of Cao Jiancheng spread throughout Youzhou, and Li Lei didn't want to offend this killing god. For a while, he was stunned and pointed at Qin Wang, not knowing what to say.
"Point at me again, and I'll chop off all your fingers." Qin Wang said coldly.
Li Lei reflexively withdrew his fingers, as if Qin Wu really wanted to chop his fingers.
"Get out!" Looking at Li Lei's bear-like appearance, Qin Wang's face was full of disdain, and he snorted coldly.
Li Lei dared to speak, and quickly ran away.
"The third brother is really majestic, so easy to send these pickles. Pity the two of us who are brothers, who have been oppressed by such villains. Seeing that Qin Forget easily let those few gentlemen run away without daring to let go, Yu Zhen said self-deprecatingly.
Qin Forget was silent, it seemed that Yu Zhen and Gu Zhixin were really having a hard time, "Where did the eldest brother say, the younger brother is now like a mad dog in the eyes of the world, it's not that they are afraid of me, but they think it's worth provoking me." The younger brother has made too many enemies, and he doesn't know when he will die on the streets. Qin Forget said with a wry smile.
"Third brother, second brother knows that you are a person who does great things, but you still have to be patient in everything, don't be too extreme. The Yan Jiang family is not afraid, but it is better not to provoke easily. Gu Zhixin persuaded tactfully.
This is the first time that an outsider has advised Qin Forget like this, and Qin Forget was slightly moved in his heart, "Thank you, second brother, but the two brothers don't know what is going on." If I reconcile with those families, that is the real way to die. ”
"What does the third brother mean?" Yu Zhen's expression moved, and he asked tentatively.
"Your Majesty is going to do something to the family." This was not a secret, but Yu Gu and the two of them were too low to know about it, and Qin Forget didn't plan to hide it from them.
"Third brother serious?" Gu Zhixin asked in surprise and joy.
Both of them are from poor families, and they have been depressed for so long because they have been suppressed by the wealthy families, and now they are very excited to hear that the emperor is going to do something to those families.
