Chapter 557 Whose boy shows his edge
Ji Jia, the little son of the Ji family, was very excited today. Early in the morning, I came to Mingyue Building from the house, and carefully told the shopkeeper of the restaurant before and after running that the best room on the third floor must be specially reserved. Because, at noon today, he is going to feast guests.
For this request of his little master, the shopkeeper of the restaurant naturally agreed. Everyone knows that the old man Ji Xin has high hopes for this little young master, and hopes to be the thousand-mile horse in the family, especially to send him to the world-famous Yuanhou to be tempered, so that he can take on a great responsibility one day.
The best wines and the most exquisite dishes are all prepared for the little master. No matter how busy the entire Mingyue Building is, of course, the little young master's matter is a big deal, although the guests he invited are just two teenagers of the same age as him.
Ji Jia's guests were Li Ling, who was tiger-headed, and Lu Jun, who was somewhat taciturn. Since coming to Changle Plateau, Ji Jia has been very close to the two of them, and soon after getting along, they have become good friends who talk about everything.
On weekdays, they walk together on horseback and shoot to practice martial arts, learn from each other and make progress together, but there is not much difference with their brothers. It's just that Master Yuanzhao has recently gone on an expedition, and Senior Brother Cui Hong was ordered to take care of them at home, for fear that they would wander around and cause trouble, so the requirements for them are stricter than usual, and there is no chance to be able to go out of Changle Plateau when they are idle.
This kind of restraint suffocated the three teenagers. In particular, hearing the news of the great victory from the northern frontier of the Western Regions made them itch while being in high spirits, and they wanted to go out and go around, so that they could hear more news about this aspect.
There is about to be a big bustle to see in Chang'an City. Dozens of kings of the world have come to see each other, such a grand event is rare in a hundred years, how can you miss it! So under the soft grinding and hard bubble, the kind-hearted Cui Hong finally agreed to come down and give them three days to go to Chang'an to see the excitement. However, he has been repeatedly told that he must not cause trouble for no reason, otherwise he will be severely taught a lesson when he returns.
Naturally, the promise was very happy, and they all patted their chests and made promises. Then before Cui Hong could say a few more words, the three of them had already slipped away like monkeys out of the cage!
Cui Hong was helpless, so he had to shout a few words from afar, fortunately, he knew that they were very clever, and even if something happened, he would definitely not suffer. What's more, Li Ling and Ji Jia have a deep family to rely on in Chang'an City, so they can rest assured.
Cui Hong stood at the highest point of Changle Plateau with the figure of the "Wuque" sword on his back, his eyes swept over the land north of Zhongnan Mountain, this man in a green shirt, he would never leave this place half a step before Yuan Zhao came back.
The three teenagers who didn't know what the responsibility was, of course, would not think as much as the senior brother thought at this moment. They are full of spirit, and the only thing they look forward to is to learn as much as possible from the master's skills, and then travel across the world everywhere.
On the way back to Chang'an, they had already discussed, and Li Ling and Ji Jia took turns to be the east, and the three of them walked around the city and walked through all the places they should play. Both of them knew Lu Jun's life experience, and they knew that Master Yuan Zhao took great care of this fellow disciple who had suffered traumatic souls, so Li Ling and Ji Jia, the two children of the family, took care of everything, so that Lu Jun didn't have to care about anything, just eat, drink and have fun.
Lu Jun actually didn't want to come to Chang'an from the bottom of his heart, let alone come to Mingyue Tower. The origin of the catastrophe in the family began here. The tragic death of his father and sister, the two people he depended on in the world, left eternal sorrow in his heart. Although Yuan Zhao took him to avenge the blood with his own hands, this kind of former scar could not be healed. Chang'an is sad place, if possible, he doesn't want to step into it again.
However, hospitality is hard to refuse. Facing the hospitality of two teenagers from the same school, Lu Jun, who was already very good at hiding his emotions, buried all his thoughts. It's a rare three-day relaxation time, so let's have a good time.
The best room in Mingyue Tower was on the third floor of the main building, and it was occupied by three teenagers at the moment. Looking north from here, you can almost see the whole picture of the most prosperous area of Chang'an. It is the difference of 100,000 people, and the smoke cage is in Chang'an for half a summer!
Don't look at the age, but the amount of wine is genetic, and the spring brewing in the suburbs of Qingdao is drunk, and several exquisite small jars are already empty. Especially Ji Jia, on his own family's territory, how could he lose to the very arrogant Li Ling! So after drinking seven or eight points of alcohol, the two of them ignored Lu Jun's persuasion next to them, stared at each other with wide eyes and shouted loudly to let the subordinates hurry up and move a few more altars. On weekdays, the two of them compete in martial arts, and today they finally have an opportunity to win or lose in terms of the amount of alcohol.
Regarding the temper of their little master, the Ji family has already understood it very well from top to bottom, so they don't think it's strange. Ji Jiaerlang, it should be like this. Ren Xia made his spirit high, which is the inheritance handed down from the Ji family.
I didn't eat much of the delicate dishes on the table, and the wine quickly dried up. Lu Jun just drank a little with him, he couldn't compare to the amount of these two teenagers, his eyes widened at this moment, and he looked at Ji Jia and Li Ling angrily and funny at each other's unconvinced looks. Sure enough, no matter how good a friend is, as long as they are not convinced by each other in the upsurge of alcohol, they will not give up if they don't drink one.
After a long while, the people in the restaurant had not yet brought the wine, Ji Jia, who was flushed, was a little anxious, pointed at Li Ling with his finger and signaled him to wait, and was about to get up and go down to urge in person, when the steward of Mingyue Mansion finally appeared.
"Little young master, drinking too much of this kind of liquor hurts your body, Master Ji once instructed that you should not indulge in anything. So let's stop in moderation. Hehe! ”
The Ji Ye in the mouth of the steward is naturally Ji Ying. This steward is also an old man of the Ji family, even if Ji Jia is full of reluctance, but since he has come up to persuade him personally, it seems that he has no hope of drinking more today. It's just that when he saw the smile in Li Ling's eyes, he was uneasy after all. was asking for some tolerance, when he suddenly heard some noisy noise coming from below, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
"Uncle Steward, what's going on downstairs? It looks like someone is fighting! ”
The steward's face was not shocked, he just smiled and nodded.
"The little master guessed well. When I came up just now, I saw that the fight had already started on the second floor. Do you want to see a lively scene? ”
"Wow, wow! It's been a long time since I've come to the restaurant, and there's such a thing as fighting here...... I didn't expect to meet it today! Lu Jun and Li Ling, let's hurry up, otherwise we won't be able to see it if we go late. Hey! ”
The steward's face remained undiminished, and he was relieved. Hearing that there was such a bustle to see, it really succeeded in diverting Young Master Ji Jia's mind, as long as he stopped gambling and drinking with others, it didn't matter what he could do. Otherwise, how can the body be able to bear it if you are so angry and drunk at a young age!
Li Ling and Lu Jun were a little dumbfounded. Since someone was fighting and making trouble on the Mingyue Tower, this season's family didn't hurry up to stop it, but gathered around to watch the excitement? Isn't it fun to smash the restaurant?
As if he had seen their doubts and worries, Ji Jia smiled, stretched out his hand and pulled them over as he walked downstairs, and said proudly.
"There is such a thing as drinking and making trouble upstairs in Mingyue, not ten times a month, but eight times. Don't wonder why the people in our family didn't stop it, it's because Mingyue Tower set a rule a long time ago. Jianghu affairs, rivers and lakes, personal grievances, are not responsible! As for the fear of breaking the restaurant and damaging the utensils, there is no need to worry. No matter who it is, since it has the courage to play prestige in this, it must bear the consequences. Anything that is damaged, you have to pay ten times the compensation...... So far, no one has dared to pay the bill! ”
Although the boy's tone was a little simple, he didn't understand some power games. But just what he revealed in these few words is enough to see the influence of the Ji family in Chang'an City.
The second floor is a little wide, and on the side of the corridor, it is really lively. But now it seems that it is not a fight between the two sides, but a one-sided beating and humiliation.
How could the big businessmen from the East China Sea be the opponents of these people with special status? The ruthlessness and unreasonableness of the other party was something they did not expect. Chang'an, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, actually pulled out a knife to hurt people casually, and then after slashing a few people, he refused to give up, and the man named Li Zheng was instructing a few fierce guys to ask the other party what was the purpose of coming from Donghai'er, whether there was any malicious attempt or something.
Although the beatings and screams attracted a lot of attention, no one seemed to be nosy. The identities of the people who come and go upstairs in Mingyue are complicated, and such things often happen, and the guests in Chang'an are a little accustomed to it. Grievances in the rivers and lakes, both sides naturally have a solution, and it is not a wise thing to meddle casually.
But no one noticed that after listening to a few words, the face of a young man standing at the top of the three stairs changed slightly. A knife slowly pulled out of its fishskin sheath, and he pushed the two men in front of him and began to descend the stairs.
Lu Jun ...... Why? You're going to have a hard time?"
"It's not about fighting injustice, it's about saving people!"
"Oh? You know these people...... Or does it have something to do with them?"
"I have nothing to do with them. However, haven't you heard that these people who came from outside the East China Sea are all related to Master? ”
"Oh...... That's it! Hey, wait for us! Li Ling, why are you still stunned? Draw your sword together! ”
A moment later, a young man's edge flew overhead. The light of the knife was like a snowflake, and the rest of the people were shocked, and they retreated one after another, and the two sides were separated, and the three teenagers each held the knife in their hands, protecting the East China Sea merchants who were all injured behind them.
"Huh! Blind your dogs, dare to make trouble here! I don't care who you are, hurry up and leave the compensation of 100,000 taels of gold, and then you can get out!" ”
Li Ling was on the left, Lu Jun was on the right, and the young master of the Ji family pointed with a knife at the people who were slowly standing up with gloomy faces, arrogant and domineering!
