Yanjing, a world-famous restaurant in the secluded fence, a must-have place for dignitaries to feast with each other, is located in the quietest northwest corner of Yanjing, away from the hustle and bustle, as if quietly hiding, only waiting for the guests to come to the door, only to suddenly bloom with unparalleled enthusiasm.

Today, there is an endless stream of scenes in front of the gate, rich merchants and nobles dressed in silk brocade come in and out, talking to each other, and the lights of one building illuminate half of the city.

There was a man in a long shirt in the crowd marching silently, and the little two who greeted the guests at the door saw the outstanding temperament of the guest from afar, and walked here with a smile on his face at the moment, and he took a look at the person with pointed eyes, "Distinguished guests——— are you here to eat and drink, or do you make a reservation in advance?" ”

Childe smiled lightly, "I'm alone." ”

"Does Childe like a quieter and more elegant seat, or does he like to be lively?"

Childe looked around and pointed upstairs, on the side seat on the second floor, through a layer of pale yellow bamboo paper, the candle flame reflected a figure drinking alone.

Xiao Er was a little embarrassed, Childe's hand was raised, a silver ingot fell into his arms, heavy hand, Xiao Er has been doing miscellaneous labor for so many years, the first time he saw such a big silver nugget, he couldn't put it down and touched it, his eyes were full of reluctance, but he still handed it back, "Childe is embarrassed villain, this is not what I can do." ”

"The second brother of the little brother and the shopkeeper told me," the son bowed slightly, "We are old acquaintances, my surname is Lu, that is the seat I have always liked, I can go and talk to the child." ”

"This ......" Xiao Er hesitated for a while, but although the person in front of him was dressed simply, he was not casual, with a green and moist jade pendant tied around his waist, and his gestures had his own regulations, coupled with the Yuxiu Zhongling Qi contained between his eyebrows, it always made people involuntarily relax their vigilance. After working in the secluded fence for a few years, you can recognize at a glance that this person is by no means an idle person, "Okay, the villain will go and inform the boss first, and I will bother Mr. Lu to wait." ”

Childe smiled, after watching Xiao Er's figure enter the restaurant, the spring breeze smile on his face gradually disappeared, a pair of black eyes were ancient and waveless, people often say that you can see this person's heart through a person's eyes, but it doesn't seem to be applicable to him.

Not long after, Xiao Er ran out and said a little excitedly: "Young Master Lu, the boss is happy to know that you are here, he said that you can go up directly, he has already told that son, and that son has no opinion." ”

He remembered something again, with a look of surprise on his face, his hand was taken out of his arms, and he grabbed a piece of silver ingot, which was the one that Childe had just thrown to him, "Childe, this ...... It's too much, I still can't take it. ”

He didn't hear Gongzi's reply, and when he turned around, the figure like a jade tree of Zhilan had already entered the restaurant, only his white hand waved in the air, and his clear voice was accompanied by a smile, "Take it, it's time to thank you." ”

In the side compartment on the second floor, as soon as Gongzi pushed the door, a man in black collapsed on the ground in an extremely indecent posture, shaking a wine jug in his hand, with a crazy smile on his face, but it was the person in the carriage that Xiong Lan and Xiaolou met.

Hearing the knock on the door, he didn't look back, drinking to himself, "I really didn't expect you to live like this here...... I was so envious...... Well, good wine......"

Childe ignored him, and walked straight to the seat opposite the man, he turned his head to look, and pressed his hand somewhere by the window, and the window shook slightly, and a soft cloth of the same color as the window paper stretched out from the imperceptible gap in the window, and pasted it tightly on the window.

After doing all this, he turned his head and looked coldly at the man in black who was drinking, and his voice was also cold: "I didn't expect that you would enter Beijing with the envoys of the Northern Wilderness." ”

"You didn't expect it a lot, you haven't contacted us for a few years, and those old men thought you were dead, but I didn't expect it, tsk" He looked the son up and down, and his whole body lay on the table, shaking his head, "It's also mixed with the court officials." ”

Childe snorted from his nose and continued to look at him coldly. The man in black was uncomfortable with him, and those two eyes seemed to have a cold murderous aura, but if he looked at it, he found that the pair of eyes were even colder, not a little wavering, as if they did not interfere with this face, and there was a dead silence...... Silence is more terrifying than killing. He jumped up all of a sudden, shouting loudly in his mouth, as if he had been greatly wronged, "I bypassed Yanjing from South Vietnam and entered the Northern Wilderness, and I happened to encounter winter in the Northern Wilderness, and I froze half to death, and now I have followed that group of barbarians all the way south to Yanjing, and finally found an acquaintance, and you are still staring at me here......"

He roared for a while, as if he was tired, and sat down on the ground sluggishly, "It's really the same virtue as your dead ghost master." ”

The flask was raised and shaken a few times, and there was not a drop of wine left, and he threw it away in an irritated handful.

The wine pot hit the corner of the wall with a "dang", and rolled away, Childe picked up the teapot and poured a full cup of tea for the man, "It's your heart that is messed up, it's good to drink some tea, drink less of those." ”

The man in black didn't move. Childe took a sip of tea and said slowly, "What about the knife?" Do you always have it with you? ”

"I was sent to the palace, but I couldn't find their owner in the Northern Wilderness, if there is really a spirit, I'm afraid I'm already lonely."

"Pu Liuru Cheng, that kid...... Doesn't it work? ”

The man in black drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, and the whole person calmed down, and he gradually exuded the calm and indifferent temperament of a child, "Why bother asking that, you and I both know that this is just a gimmick." ”

"But I saw an old friend."

"Old friend?" Childe laughed, "Do you still have old friends?" ”

The man in black didn't answer his words, but was unusually serious, "It's the clouds in the world." In the hands of a child. ”

Childe raised his thin eyebrows rarely, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, "So you ran into it?" How so? ”

"Ha, I thought you were like those guys, born with an iron heart," the man in black laughed abruptly again, pointing at the son and teasing, "I didn't expect that there would be times of surprise, and he asked me to see it, no, no, I have to give this to the book, pass it on to future generations, and pass it on to future generations......

"Don't be poor." The child's face was flat, but it showed the wooden appearance of the mud puppet in the temple, "Let's get down to business." ”

The man in black pursed his lips, "It's weird, your master is so devout, but you don't believe in Lord Yan, my master is the same as you, but he has always taught me to believe." However, you and your master's dead face are really in the same vein, and a person with a name is a temperament. ”

"There is nothing to believe or not in the confusion, whether there is a Yan Lord or not, in fact, it is all the same."

The man in black pursed his lips to express his disagreement, he wanted to say a few more words, but he felt that a pair of cold and dead eyes from the son on the other side came over, and he hurriedly changed his words: "I was shocked when I saw it just now, it turned out to be a child, and then I asked, guess what, it is Xiong Lan, the son of Chu State——— Xiong Lan!" ”

When Gongzi heard this, a look of Ran had flashed in his eyes, Huo Ran got up, grabbed the yellow cloth covering the window, and said as he went out: "You have to remember the banquet in the palace the day after tomorrow." ”

The man in black didn't get up, but as if he was more comfortable because of his departure, the whole person collapsed to the ground again, his eyes were foggy, as if the strength of the wine he had drunk before came up, he cleared his throat and sang:

"Breaking the clouds and exploring the day, dividing the water and exploring the li, why should he hold a spear and set up a bow to hunt falcons."

Childe heard the singing outside the door and stopped.

"Remember when this was the song we used to sing? Now I forgot to adjust the ......" The man in black looked at the faint and faint silhouette on the door, waved his hand and smiled, "Lu Jian, order two more pots of wine!" ”

In the middle of the moon, a burst of urgent orchestra came out of the Dayi Palace, and the heat wave and warm wind poured out from the door, mixed with the fragrance of fat powder, and the soldiers on guard were not paying attention to it, and they were whipped by the inspection general.

In the huge place in the palace, three small desks are set up between every two beams and columns, and five or six kinds of small dishes are placed on the table, which are delicate and lovely, exquisitely and exquisitely handicraft, and there is a jade chopstick on the bowl, at this time, most of the people are clean on the plate, and the banquet has just begun.

Today's emperor is no longer wearing a regular robe, but wearing a crown of heaven, a well-tailored and wide and dignified pale yellow robe, embroidered with gold and silver threads, gathered into a five-clawed golden dragon, coiled on the chest in a soaring shape, stepping on the barehead, and hanging a long sword with a bright yellow sword spike hanging from his waist.

As soon as the emperor appeared, everyone standing in the palace knelt down, and even with the palace maids and guards who were ready to listen outside, they shouted long live, and the emperor just waved his hand impatiently, while tearing off the placket of his gown, shaking the fan to dissipate the heat, he dragged the body of Fa Fu and sat on the throne, and gave Dou Zuo, who was kneeling on the ground, a look, the latter understood, got up and shouted: "Your Majesty's grace: all the ministers are flat!" ”

It was the mountain that shouted "Thank you Lord Longen", and everyone was seated.

After Ying Yue sat down, he secretly raised his eyes to look around, Xiong Lan's seat was facing him, and the two of them were arranged to sit in the last row of the princes, in the same row as the young officials.

The food on the plate looks exquisite, but too much pursuit of appearance, Yingyue took advantage of the emperor and the officials to chant those political treatises that are tantamount to the book of heaven for him secretly ate two spoons, the surface of the red plate of glazed snow Rong, the entrance turned out to be sweet and sour, he was disgusted so that his face was distorted, stuck out his tongue and looked up, and found that the emperor was holding his cheeks and squinting his eyes, while nodding his head as if he was listening carefully to the official's report, while his big hand was behind the palace maid in front of him, he didn't know what to do, only to see the palace maid's pretty face pink, beautiful eyes with tears, I know that this old lover is not stable for a moment. As soon as the emperor looked up, he saw a boy looking at him stupidly, and he actually winked at him.

Ying Yue instantly retracted her gaze, lowered her head, eyes, nose, nose and heart. After being quiet for a while, I finally heard the emperor coughing, and said to the courtiers who were arguing endlessly because of the flood relief in a certain place: "Aiqing thinks about what to do, the beautiful scenery of the night, don't let it down, then the words of Lao Shizi will be said tomorrow morning!" Drink to win! ”

After speaking, the emperor withdrew his hand, raised the bronze cup in front of him and drank it all, and wiped his mouth with the sleeve of his robe arrogantly after drinking, like a thief who had just finished robbing the path, just thinking about the banquet, and the matter of sharing the spoils will be put until tomorrow.

Ying Yue was stunned, and saw Xiong Lan following a group of ministers to raise the white porcelain cup in front of him, covering his mouth with his sleeves, and drinking it all, he hurriedly followed suit, never thought that the contents of the cup were as hot as fire in his mouth, and for a while his mouth and nose couldn't breathe, and the feeling spread down the throat to his chest, he held his breath, and when he came back to his senses, he only felt that his forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat.

This is not bad, just such a glass of wine in the stomach, many of the young people in the world coughed violently, the ministers first soaked for a while, and Liu Xuan, who was dressed in a cyan robe, picked up the wine glass of a young man who was scratching his neck and holding his stomach and didn't know how to be good, and smelled it, the cold smell of wine came to his nose, he laughed, raised his head and poured the wine into his mouth, licked the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "It's real wine...... Hmm, it's still a 'glimmer of fire', Your Majesty is so good, it's really cheap for these boys! ”

Everyone in the world knows that General Liu is not good at beauty and is not greedy for money, Senluo has to drink all things, and has been immersed in wine for more than ten years, familiar with the world's famous wine, the amount of wine is extraordinary, and there is a heart to praise each other, and look at the young people in the palace are sticking out their tongues and being burned by the wine, like a monkey in the mountains tasting wine for the first time, and they all laughed for a while.

Liu Xuan also sighed twice, looking at a group of teenagers with a bit of hatred for iron and steel, "I really don't know good things, I'm blind to good wine." ”

The emperor smiled slyly and asked Chi Qitie, who was sitting below, "Has Chi Qiqing ever tasted such a good wine in the Northern Wilderness?" There was a lot of pride in the words.

He instructed Dou Zuo in advance to fill the cups of the princes and envoys of the Northern Wilderness with a "line of fire", thinking that he could make Chi Qitie have some fun, but he didn't expect this burly man of the Northern Wilderness to still have no change in his face, but said with a smile: "Your Majesty doesn't know, when I was nine years old, I used a small bone cup to steal wine in my father's cup and drank it, like when you are one year old, I can ride a horse and rob the girl!" ”

His words made the ministers laugh in unison.

After half drinking, Chi Qitie suddenly got up and knelt down at the bottom of the stairs and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, I also admired the way of the sages of Dayan earlier, and understood the principle of courtesy. He no longer called "Yan Guo", changed his name to "Da Yan", and heard that the emperor was used for a while, and immediately agreed, but asked with a little doubt: "What treasures does Aiqing have, I want to talk to you, Da Yan is rich, if you take something to prevaricate me, the court staff will not be able to avoid you." ”

Chiqi Tie Shengbao smiled on the ground, got up and clapped his hands, only to see a large number of people rushing in at the door, men and women of all ages, the men were bare-chested, revealing their strong muscles, and the women's tulle masks, dressed in short clothes, and the snake's waist was half exposed.

The drum master musician stepped up from the curtain behind the pillar, a vast drum beat, the bewitching woman in the field twisted her waist, the whole person danced like a wind wheel, and then the curtain under the Hu Yin everywhere, a short Xiao accompanied by a big drum, the jumping music seemed to be a strong wind rushing to the face, the yellow sand was messy, there was the sound of horses' hooves from far and near, the male dancer shook his muscles, jumped to the field and chased the female dancer to dance, everyone only felt a flower in front of them, as if an exotic butterfly fluttering in the desert, a touch and a wing between the indescribable gentleness.

The emperor has been in the deep palace for a long time, and rarely travels, how can he have seen such an exotic style, and he was stupid for a while. Chi Qitie smiled leisurely and gave another high-five. The male and female dancers embraced and walked out of the palace with strange steps, and soon came in with a large wooden plank on their shoulders, on which was a charred goat, with long horns coiled, and a small red fruit in its mouth.

They shrugged their shoulders vigorously with a "hey", the wooden board was churned, the roast sheep jumped up in the air, Chi Qitie felt out a kitchen knife out of nowhere, stepped on the strong shoulders of a male dancer and jumped up, a burst of knife light, people and sheep fell to the ground at the same time, "bang" and then a soft sound, as soon as the sheep fell on the wooden board, it was torn apart, and it was broken into the number of people present.

Everyone was surprised, although the dance stopped and the breath still existed, there seemed to be wind and sand in the palace, there was a thunderous applause, the dancers knelt down, Chi Qitie carefully went down the fruit from the sheep's mouth, knelt on one knee, and raised his hand high: "I respect my emperor!" ”

A warm smile suddenly bloomed on Dou Zuo's face, he took the fruit from Chiqi Tie's hand, and whispered as he passed by: "The envoy has a heart." ”

The Emperor glanced at the fruit, only took a symbolic bite, and nodded. His attention was all on the dancing girl, and the waist that was full of strength haunted his heart, "It's really exotic, and people are different." It's just that how could there have been such a dance in the Northern Wilderness? ”

Chi Qitie heard the sound of the strings and knew the elegant meaning, "This is the dancer sent to the Dragon Court by the Zhaowu Kingdom in the west a few days ago, my Majesty doesn't know if His Majesty Dayan will like it, so the minister took the initiative and secretly brought it from the palace." Your Majesty loves it so much, Ming'er sent them to His Majesty's palace. ”

Although he knew that what Chi Qitie said was not true, the emperor still happily agreed.

"Your Majesty, do you remember the guests I was with?" Chi Qitie changed his words, "The guests learned of today's banquet and also brought treasures to the scene. ”

The emperor glanced at the crowd with half-open old eyes, and saw that the old minister in Dingrongyi also bowed slightly, and the good show finally came. At that moment, he waved his hand and wanted to summon the guests into the palace, but was stopped by Chiqitie: "The guests said that there are many treasures, and they will be dedicated to Your Majesty, and I hope that Your Majesty can summon the royal descendants, and they have prepared generous gifts for all the dragons and phoenixes." ”
