Chapter Ninety-Six: Meet Ruda

Xu Guanzhong said: "In this case, let's just find a tavern near the Prime Minister's Mansion, since Lu Tishi loves to drink, he will definitely go." ”

Chao Gai said: "That's the best. ”

After discussion, everyone along the street, watching the cultural scenery of Yan'an Mansion, slowly looking for the tavern near Xianggong Mansion, at this time, a carriage came slowly, suddenly I don't know where the wild boy came from, after the firecracker was thrown in front of the horse's leg, the explosion sounded, although the horse was not injured, but the horse was frightened, pulling the carriage and running away, the coachman and the people on the car were frightened with sharp corners, in front of many vendors were trading, if the horse broke through and trampled on many people, Chao Gai and others were far away, It's too late to get there. At this critical moment, suddenly a man who looked like an officer roared, grabbed the back carriage with both hands, and his feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, and the man let out a voice like a bull's roar, "Stop me." ”

The horse could not move forward, and it was impossible to move on all fours, and soon it was calm. The man breathed a sigh of relief, and then let go of the carriage, and the coachman came over to thank him: "Thank you for this strong man, if not, I don't know how many people have been trampled on." ”

The man said: "Thank you, just pay attention next time you drive, the sprinkle family is gone." ”

Chao Gai hurriedly rushed over, and after a careful look, he saw that this man was more than one meter eight tall, with wide shoulders and large body, thick eyebrows, big eyes, nose and straight mouth, his head wrapped in a sesame Luo Wanzi top turban, two Taiyuan Mansion New Silk Gold Rings on the back of his head, wearing a parrot green silk robe, a civil and military double-strand crow green silk around his waist, and a pair of eagle claw leather four-seam dry yellow boots.

"Dare to do it, but Rudaruti is under the jurisdiction." Chao Gai said.

"It's the Sprinkle family, I don't know who you are." Luda was also secretly surprised when he looked at Chao Gai, three of the four were big practitioners, and there was a person who seemed to be weak, but he was actually a master, and Luda was secretly careful that someone came to me to be unlucky.

Chao Gai said: "In Xiayun City, Chao Gai, I deliberately traveled thousands of miles to visit Lu Tishi. ”

Luda said: "But that person is called the Chao Gai of the Tota Heavenly King? ”

"Exactly down there." Chao Gai said.

Luda laughed: "Haha, I am also your name for Brother Jiu Wenchao, but I didn't have a chance to meet you." Who are these people? ”

Chao Gai said: "This black man's name is Li Kui, this one is called Jiao Ting, and this one is called Xu Guanzhong, all of whom are my good brothers. ”

Everyone clasped their fists one by one and saluted, which was considered to be acquaintance, and Luda said: "Since I met it, it was fate, and I don't have much military affairs today, so why not drink it freely." ”

Chao Gai said: "Why not, we are here to have a good drink with Lu Tiha." ”

Li Kui said: "I know that you are an alcoholic at a glance, I don't know how many bowls you can drink?" ”

"A few bowls, sprinkling family drinks has always been a forum."

"I'm not convinced by you, I'm going to try it today." Li Kui said.

Ruda pulled Chao Gai and walked forward together, there was a tavern around the corner, Xiao Er was wiping the table with a rag, Luda shouted in a loud voice: "Xiao Er, bring the best wine, and then stew a sheep, today the Sprinkle family wants to invite a good brother to drink." ”

Xiao Er's first year was embarrassed: "Lu Tishi, the shopkeeper said, you owe five times the wine money, and I can't give it to you on credit." ”

Luda scolded: "Noise, you will be paid back after the military salary, where is there so much nonsense." ”

Xiao Er knew Ruda's violent temper, and he didn't dare to say more.

Jiao Ting went over and took twenty taels of silver, and said, "You little guy, don't look down on people, what kind of person is Lu Tishi, will he owe you money for wine?" This is twenty taels of silver, and the money for the wine has been repaid, and the rest is stored in the cabinet, and it can be deducted from it when drinking. ”

Xiao Er took the silver, and his originally gloomy face instantly turned into a blooming chrysanthemum, and laughed: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Sit, please sit, please take a seat. Wine, wine, good wine. ”

Luda saw that Brother Jiao Ting had returned the wine money, and said, "You are from Yuncheng, and you should be the east." ”

Jiao Ting said: "Originally, my brother always praised Lu Ti Ha, and I was still a little unconvinced, but today I am already very convinced when I see Lu Ti Ha's divine power." Let's sit down and drink together, and the brothers of the picture have the fun of meeting each other, so why care about who pays for the wine like a layman? ”

Luda was overjoyed and said: "Good, good, good, let's get drunk today." ”

Li Kui grinned and said, "I still want to fight with you, try whose strength is great, you can't be too drunk." ”

Luda has few opponents in Yan'an Mansion, so he is naturally a little underestimated, and said: "You can still fight when you are drunk, don't worry." ”

Soon the good wine was served in two jars, the mutton was stewed, and two plates of roast chicken were served first, and Luda beckoned everyone to eat, and tore off a chicken leg and handed it to Chao Gai.

Chao Gai took it and was willing, his mouth was full of oil, and Luda said: "Okay, good, the Sprinkle family likes it, unlike those officials and masters, who pretend to be one by one, and they are fake Sven when they eat." ”

The black porcelain bowl was filled with wine, and the five of them took it up and drank it all, Luda said to Xu Guanzhong: "I didn't expect you to be quite able to drink, it's really unseemly." ”

Li Kui said with a smile: "This Xu Guanzhong is amazing, he may not be as good as you in fighting, but in terms of knowledge, there is no need to compare." ”

"Why don't you compare? The Sprinkle family also has a lot of knowledge? Rueda asked rhetorically.

Li Kui said: "Then let me ask you, have you ever been to Dunhuang?" Ever seen a sandstorm? ”

"No, what's a sandstorm?"

"Let me ask you again, have you ever been to Liao, can you speak Khitan dialect?"

"No, it won't."

Luda was speechless when asked by Li Kui, and Chao Gai said: "Tie Niu Mo is messing around, each has its own strengths, don't compare casually." The Tangut people who fought on the horses of Lu Ti were crying and shouting for their mothers, and they were all guts, even if they had thousands of troops and horses, they dared to break through. What is even more rare is to have a chivalrous courage, help the needy, and often help others. ”

Chao Gaikua's Luda was a little embarrassed, touched his chin and said: "The Sprinkle family has what Brother Chao said is so good, why don't the Sprinkle family know." ”

Xu Guanzhong said: "Just like just now, the horses were frightened, pulling the carriage and running around, so many people watched, no one dared to make a move, you quickly helped, although it is only a small thing in your opinion, but it saved the impending disaster, if it was not for you to save it, someone is likely to be trampled to death and injured by the horse, and their families will also fall into pain." ”

"Ah, haha, drinking and drinking, I don't think about it so much, I just do something casually, I don't get tired when I think about it." Ruda Road.

Chao Gai chatted with Luda about some things in the army, and Luda complained and said: "I haven't paid a penny of military salary for eight months this year, and only paid more than five yuan of the officer's subsidy, and as for the small soldiers, I haven't paid a penny." ”

Li Kui said: "Isn't it all said that the Western Army is the most powerful and the richest. ”

Luda said: "What you said was before, and now Gao Yu has become the captain of the palace marshal's mansion, although he can't manage the affairs of the Western Army, but he can do things in the salary of the Western Army." No matter how good an army is, once the military salary is not paid in time, it is easy to have problems, and the combat effectiveness is easy to decline, so that people like me who love to drink will have to pay on credit and lose all their faces. ”

Everyone continued to drink again, Li Kui was not convinced by Luda, and Luda touched the big bowl, this wine is all low-alcohol wine, that is, three or five degrees of wine, drink bowl after bowl.

The two plates of roast chicken were eaten up in an instant, Xiao Er hurriedly got four more, and it was gone in the blink of an eye, but fortunately, a stewed sheep came at this time. This is a lamb of more than 30 catties, and after killing the net meat, it is more than ten catties, Luda seems to have not eaten mutton for a long time, and one person has eaten five or six catties, and his mouth is full of oil.

Jiao Ting turned to Xiao Er and said, "Cut another ten catties of mutton." ”

"Alright, alright."

Xiao Er was a little stunned, five people had eaten so much, and they still had to order.

However, there are five people at this table, except for Xu Guanzhong, the others are all people who can eat a lot of food, and it is not a problem for any one to eat ten catties of meat.

This wine was eaten until it was almost dark, Luda and Li Kui were a little shaky, Chao Gai took out five taels of silver and stuffed it to Luda, Luda said unhappily: "Why did Brother Chao Gai give the Sprinkle family silver?" ”

Chao Gai said: "Brother Lu loves to help the poor and help people in need. Since the army has not been paid for a long time, there must be some colleagues who can't solve the pot, so you take the money to help them. Or if you meet people in trouble on the way, you can share some of them. ”

"Good, good. I'm small there, or you all go and live with me. Where you live, we'll drink again tomorrow. Ruda asked with a wide tongue.

Chao Gai said: "We live in a small shop outside the city that I don't know, it's not convenient for you to find it, let's come to this shop early tomorrow morning, let's wait for Brother Lu, tomorrow you take us to play in Yan'an Mansion to see what scenic spots there are." ”

"Okay, a word is a decision, tomorrow you will wait for the family."

Chao Gai and the others separated from Luda, and they didn't say anything all night. The next day, Chao Gai brought Jiao Ting, Li Kui, Pang Wanchun four people here, the tavern is not open in the morning, there is a small stall selling tofu brain on the side of the street, this tofu is made authentic, the white tofu brain is served in a big black bowl, which is dripping with sesame oil, adding green onions and coriander, it smells tangy, and Xiaolong buns are fragrant. Li Kui shouted to eat, and Chao Gai said, "Wait for Luda to come and eat together." ”

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Ruda to stride in, refreshing, where was the smell of yesterday's wine. Chao Gai said: "Did Brother Luda have breakfast?" ”

Ruda touched his stomach and said, "I didn't eat it." ”

Chao Gai and the others sat down at the small stall of tofu brains and said, "Boss, give us a bucket of tofu brains, and another twenty steamed buns." ”

The boss of the snack seller was a little surprised, Li Kui said: "If you want to get it, you can get it, where is the reason for not being full, hurry up." ”

Pang Wanchun was also embarrassed to laugh, watching Chao Gai, Luda, Li Kui, and Jiao Ting almost eat up the food at this food stall.

Luda ate five bowls of tofu brains and fifty xiaolongbaozi, wiped his mouth, and said, "This brother is so tight, and he looks like a hero." ”

"In Xia Pang Wanchun, I have seen Lu Tiha." Pang Wanchun said.

Chao Gai said: "I waited for a group of six people to come, just because I had horses and luggage, and I needed to leave someone to guard it. This Pang Wanchun brother is also a first-class hero, and he is a marksman trained by my Yuncheng regiment. ”
