Chapter 470: Tacitly, Xuanfu is a must

It took an afternoon for 1,200 pounds of gunpowder to be locked into the arsenal. Seeing that the warehouse was locked, Zhang Yue and Meng Jun went back to see Xu Heng, and when the big seal on that side was stamped on the official document, he was finally truly relieved. Although today's gunpowder is not as powerful as the future generations, dealing with such a deadly thing along the way is still terrifying, after all, this is how Cuimo's father died. Letting go of a big matter, he and Meng Jun left the General Soldier's Mansion, looked at the sky, and found that it should have reached the time of curfew in the city at this time.

Meng Jun saw Zhang Yue's thoughts at a glance, and immediately smiled: "Don't worry, I'm not so arrogant that I'm still hanging around outside after curfew." The place where I live is across the street from this general military mansion, and the place to eat is next door, and that street is the only street in Xuanfu that does not have a curfew. If you hadn't known that you were going to come to me and the shopkeeper to make a reservation, you wouldn't have this blessing! ”

Knowing that Meng Jun has always been a measured person, Zhang Yue agreed with a smile. The street adjacent to the General Soldier's Mansion is called Bazhen Street, and as the name suggests, it is famous for its food. Meng Jun dismounted in a small courtyard at the end, and when Zhang Yue jumped off the horse, he ordered his entourage to lead the horses into the courtyard to wash, and pointed to the next door, only then did Zhang Yue squeeze his eyes.

"See, it's here, so in such a big place as Xuanfu, I chose such a noisy street to live in, just to feast on my food. Give your entourage a good vacation, let them eat wherever they want, and let's go tonight! ”

Since there was no safety problem in Xuanfu City, Meng Jun said so again, Zhang Yue ordered a few entourages to be at will, but Peng Shisan stopped doing it, pointed to Niu Dare next to him and asked, "Third Young Master, how long are you going to throw him to me?" This is a pot-bellied man, and to fill his belly, my pockets will be empty! ”

Looking at the smiling Niu Kang, Zhang Yue remembered the result of sending Liu Bao to Yongning County to check the yellow book before, but he didn't want to let go of such an important person, so he said to Peng Shisan angrily: "Even if he eats you poor, you can report to me when you come back!" Xianglong Liu Leopard is alive and even a tiger, you yourself will have a good stroll on this Bazhen Street, you are not allowed to cross the line, you must come back when the time comes! ”

The liquor shop next to Meng Jun's residence has a total of two floors, and the black lacquer plaque hanging at the main entrance reads the three big characters of the Bazhen Pavilion, and next to it are two red tung oil paper and green ruffles with the word Fu Qi Death Wind Lamp. More than a dozen tables on the ground floor had long been occupied, all dressed as officers in jackets. Seeing Meng Jun enter the door with someone, the middle-aged shopkeeper immediately trotted forward to meet him, and said with a smile on his face: "Little Marquis, are you here?" The second floor has already reserved a seat for you, and the kitchen is ready! ”

Since he only brought a few small servants with him when he came to Xuanfu, Meng Jun almost regarded this place as his own canteen, so the shopkeeper of the Eight Treasures Pavilion from the proprietor to the shopkeeper below did not know his identity, so he naturally tried his best to flatter. The officers were also familiar with this noble boy who liked to go to the restaurant, so the group of people below saw him walking by, but they all owed to say hello.

The second floor is all divided into boxes with board walls, and you can still hear the sound of conversation and laughter coming from a few places, and there are also women's moans in between. Meng Jun, who was already used to it, was not surprised at all, but Zhang Yue thought that today's Ming atmosphere was gradually becoming extravagant, and the ministers and ministers often sang before the banquet, and he didn't expect that even the army was contaminated with such an atmosphere. In contemplation, Meng Jun had already stopped his steps and personally pushed open the two doors in front of him.

Although he has already comprehended the prosperous atmosphere of Xuanfu when he entered the city today, seeing the spacious and elegant box at this moment, Zhang Yue couldn't help but think of the rich Jiangnan. On the wall hangs an extraordinary vertical scroll, on which are four big characters - Xuanfu Treasures. The tables and chairs were quite stylish, and the porcelain furnishings around him were a bit unexpected, so he smiled after sitting down.

"Just looking at such a place to eat, a wind from the south of the Yangtze River is coming, and today's eldest brother-in-law is probably a lot of money."

"Everything else is fine, but the dish that I specially ordered is really expensive." Meng Jun was not hypocritical, and said with a smile, "Entertain your brother-in-law, how can you do it without care?" Shopkeeper Cui, let's serve, we're all so hungry that our chests are pressed against our backs. Remember, that dish is served last, otherwise you will eat it in the head, and all the other dishes will be lost! ”

The middle-aged shopkeeper was originally standing on the side, and when he heard this, he immediately agreed to go immediately. Before Zhang Yue and Meng Jun could say a few words, the door of the box was pushed open, but a guy came up with a three-foot-long and half-wide strip plate, which was full of beads on the square table, and he still held the name of the dish in his mouth.

"Mushroom chicken, red braised mutton, three fresh braised tofu, fish and rice soup, white cut elbow, crystal bean sprouts, shredded leek pork, and the remaining hot dish have to wait a quarter of an hour. The rest are snacks for hunger, sesame cakes, baked cakes, inch gold, white cuts, according to the instructions of the little marquis, this cold day is not cold dishes. This pot is Fenjiu, please use it slowly. ”

Seeing that the guy had served good wine and food, he retreated and closed the door, Meng Jun personally took the pot and poured a full cup for Zhang Yue and himself, and then put down the wine pot and picked up the cup: "If it is elsewhere, since you are a Qincha, how can you have a reception banquet, but there will be a Qincha at both ends of the Xuanfu in three days, and now everyone is taking care of the Tatars and Warat in the north, so I am the only one to pick up the wind for you tonight." Come, third brother, I toast you! ”

Seeing that Meng Jun didn't say a word and did it first as a respect, Zhang Yue naturally drank it full. Since they were all his own people, he was already hungry, so he naturally drank and ate with an open stomach, and explained why he came here according to Meng Jun's question. Thinking of what he was doing in the General Soldier's Mansion this afternoon, he suddenly put down his chopsticks and asked, "Brother-in-law, I heard before I came that because the Xuanfu is an important land, there are more than a dozen officials in each guard?" ”

"It's a secret everybody knows." Meng Jun smiled, poured another cup to himself, and drank it dry with a tilt of his neck, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, "Although there is Juyong Pass behind Xuanfu, as long as there is a problem here, although Juyong Pass is a Xiongguan, I am afraid it will not be able to stop the iron hooves of the Tartars, do you say it matters here?" Xuanfu is the largest city in the Nine Sides, and it is also the town with the largest number of total soldiers leading the army in the Nine Sides, so it is not so appropriate for these hundreds of thousands of people to be led by one person, or even by several people. The three guards of Xuanfu, the left and right guards of Wanquan, the Huailai guard, and the Huai'an guard, each guard has an official in the camp, plus those large and small guards and thousands of households, as well as the eunuch who guards the town, there are naturally more than a dozen people. ”

"Then what's going on with Xuanfu's killing order and martial law order this time?"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yue asked so straightforwardly, Meng Jun couldn't help but stare at Zhang Yue for a moment, and found that he didn't mean to be drunk in the slightest, and he didn't understand that his brother-in-law was serious. After pondering for a long time, he spoke: "This is an order under the crown of the eunuch guarding the town, I think Xing'anbo was very annoyed when he found out, but after a dispute, he was finally left alone." As for the inside story, don't say I don't know, I'm afraid even Xing'anbo doesn't know. Wang Guan is very cunning, because of the Meng family, I have nothing to do with him, but I heard that even the local Jinyi guards also respect him for three points. ”

If it was just a guess at first, after listening to Meng Jun's words at this time, Zhang Yue had seven or eight points in his heart. Looking up at Meng Jun, he found that the fair complexion at the beginning was now tanned, and he couldn't help but think that this was the Xuanfu was the front line, not the Jingshi kind of place, but it was still inevitable that those powers would be dumped.

After a pause, Meng Jun said again: "So, I only have two sentences to remind you. First, it seems that the emperor wants to grind you and use it again. After all, when the crown prince was still a prince, he did not attach much importance to military affairs, and his relationship with the nobles was far inferior to that of the Han king, and the emperor was afraid that the crown prince would blindly reject the military attaché after he ascended the throne. You have to be careful, the crown prince is not the crown prince after all. When the crown prince ascended the throne, the crown prince became the crown prince, and the relationship was even more different. Second, don't stay too long in Kaiping and Xinghe, where outside the two Great Walls of the big side and the second side, are lonely earthen cities, Meng Yuan will attack at any time, you can stay as little as possible! ”

"My brother-in-law is really a wise and foolish person." Zhang Yue saw that the corners of Meng Jun's mouth were raised, and he didn't care about his words at all, so he hurriedly smiled and toasted, and then whispered, "I have written down my brother-in-law's reminder, but I also have something to remind my brother-in-law." Didn't Xuanfu guard the eunuch crown take refuge in Liu Yongcheng, the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch? The royal horse supervisor up and down, all bet on the prince. ”

"I see, no wonder!"

Uncle Lang glanced at each other, and his heart was full of light. Just then, there was a low knock on the door. Meng Jun immediately dropped what he had just said, sat up straight and ordered to come in, and sure enough, as soon as the door opened, he saw that it was still the guy who came over with a large plate just now, but there was only a large casserole on it, and a large porcelain bowl was covered on it. After removing a few leftovers from the table, he moved the large casserole to the center, and then removed the porcelain bowl. At this moment, a fresh fragrance suddenly spread in the room, and people couldn't help but move their index fingers.

"Third brother, hurry up and taste it while it's hot, don't look at this little dish, this is a unique treasure known as Xuanfu, but everyone who has guarded here has fallen in love with this mouthful, and Xing'anbo also specially sent someone to send it to the British Duke before! These things are all caught by the natives, don't exchange copper coins and don't want treasure money, each one is worth a penny of silver, there are a total of five here, and ordinary people are enough to eat for more than half a month. ”

Zhang Yue has always known that the talent of the Chinese people in this food is unique, so he has prepared for the fried locust stewed loach steamed crab fried snake section, but when he saw that the pot seemed to be rabbit meat, he was relieved, and he felt fat and crispy when he put chopsticks into his mouth, but he couldn't describe the extremely special taste, so he was naturally full of praise.

Just when the two of them were eating heartily, a sharp voice suddenly sounded from below: "What's not?" Who doesn't know that your Eight Treasures Pavilion will receive five yellow rats every day, and now you dare to prevaricate? This is what the prince wants, if you dare to keep it privately, you will not be able to open this store tomorrow! ”
