Chapter 405: Li Chuyun is demoted

Soon the officials of Kaifeng Mansion collapsed, many people lay on the ground and rolled, and the rest of the people shouted and fled.

The pedestrians around saw that the officials of Kaifeng Mansion were beaten, and they all applauded.

Du Dalei proudly bowed his hand to the crowd, and then pulled Li Jilong away.

"Hurry up and flash people, it's important to go drinking."

So Li Jilong's followers led the way in front, and a group of people turned around, turned a few streets, and came to the door of a large restaurant.

This restaurant is a grand and elegant three-storey restaurant, and a plaque hangs on the door, which reads 'Fengle Building' in three glittering golden characters.

Seeing a group of people arrive, the guys in the restaurant in front of the door greeted them one after another, smiling and inviting everyone in.

Li Jilong led everyone into the door of the restaurant, and Du Dalei saw that the business on the first floor was very good, and more than 20 tables were basically full. The guys weaved through the crowd, pouring wine and serving food to the guests.

The man graciously invited everyone up to the second floor, which was quiet and there was not a single table of guests.

The three Li Jilong's followers stood up and said, "Yanei, the steward here is very sensible, I heard that Yanai is coming, and I persuaded all the guests on the second floor to leave." ”

Li Jilong nodded: "Yes, when you settle the bill later, let's reward some more money." ”

So Li Jilong invited everyone to sit down, and after some pushing, Li Jilong, Tai Qin, Du Dalei, Pang Xu, Chen Sanshi, and Cui Daoming sat at a table.

The other guards and Li Jilong's followers all found places to sit down, and the six tables were crowded to the full.

A round-faced guy leaned over and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you want to eat today?" ”

Li Jilong waved his hand impatiently: "Although the good food is served, hurry up, I am hungry, master." ”

The man asked, "What are you drinking?" ”

Du Dalei said: "There is no need for wine, we bring it ourselves." Pang Xu, go get a few jars of wine. ”

Pang Xu nodded, and went to fetch wine with a few guards.

The man saw that the people had brought their own wine, so they had to retreat and prepare the food.

Li Jilong picked up the teapot on the table, first respectfully poured a cup for Taiqin, then filled himself with it, and poured it down in one go.

Du Dalei said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, little Lizi, you are too rude, you don't know how to pour tea for your brother." ”

Li Jilong glared at Du Dalei: "Fall yourself, whose brother are you?" I don't have a scoundrel brother like you. ”

Du Dalei asked rhetorically: "Why am I a scoundrel?" I didn't beat you, you can't beat Lao Tzu, just say Lao Tzu is a scoundrel? How can there be such a truth in the world? ”

"You're not a scoundrel? When we fought with tiles, our guards were bare-handed, and your guards beat people with sticks. Isn't that a scoundrel? ”

Du Dalei just wanted to speak, but was stopped by Tai Qin.

Taiqin said to Li Jilong with a pleasant face: "Master Li, you don't have to worry about it. In fact, those guards were merciful, if it wasn't in Bianliang City today, they had some scruples. If you play against each other in the wilderness, there's a good chance that none of you will survive. There is absolutely no half-talk in the Sprinkle family. ”

Li Jilong obviously didn't believe it: "Master, you are exaggerating, right?" These people's formations are indeed very powerful, but they can't kill all my family's guards, right? After all, many of my family's guards have followed my father through battles, and their martial arts are very good. ”

Tai Qin smiled: "Master Li, if you don't believe it, then tomorrow you will take a hundred people to the Wangjiazhuang Courtyard outside the east gate." We'll take you against you with twenty-four guards. But let's use wooden weapons, and remove the arrows. ”

Li Jilong immediately nodded: "Okay." Tomorrow morning I will go out of the city to you. I want to see how powerful your mandarin duck array is. ”

At this time, Pang Xu returned with six guards, each carrying a large jar of spirits.

The guards opened the seals of the jars one after another, and immediately the strong aroma of wine spread.

Li Jilong sniffed: "Is this a good overseas wine?" It's so fragrant! ”

Pang Xu poured a large bowl of spirits into the empty bowl in front of Li Jilong, and Li Jilong couldn't help but be very surprised when he looked at the clear liquor like water.

"How is this wine the same as clear water, not muddy at all?"

Pang Xu smiled evilly and said, "Yanei, don't you know if you take a sip and taste it?" ”

Li Jilong picked up the wine bowl and was about to pour it into his mouth. Jean Tai Qin hurriedly stopped.

Li Jilong asked puzzledly, "Master, what are you stopping me for?" ”

Tai Qin sighed: "Master Li, this wine is not such a way to drink, they are teasing you." ”

Li Jilong looked at Du Dalei and Pang Xu who were smiling evilly, full of doubts.

Tai Chin picked up the wine bowl in front of him and took a sip.

"Master Li, this wine has to be drunk like this. You give it a try. ”

Li Jilong learned from Taiqin's appearance and took a small sip.

"Ahh Li Jilong exclaimed, "This wine is too strong!" ”

He felt a line of fire running down his throat and into his belly, and he felt like a fire burning in his esophagus.

Taichin poured him a cup of tea and motioned for him to drink it. Li Jilong hurriedly picked up the teacup and poured it down in one go.

Du Dalei asked with a smile: "How is it, little Lizi, my brother didn't lie to you, right?" Isn't this good wine? ”

Li Jilong nodded: "It is indeed good wine!" I've never drunk so violently! Mr. Du, what's the name of this wine? ”

"This wine is called 'Wuliangye', and it is made from five kinds of grains."

"What are the five kinds of grain?"

Du Dalei smiled: "How do I know? I'm not a drinker. ”

Li Jilong scratched his head: "Mr. Du, I was abrupt." But this wine is really strong! Definitely a drink that men should drink. ”

At this time, the guys in the restaurant began to serve food one after another, so everyone pushed the cups and changed the lamps and began to eat and drink.

Soon, Li Jilong, who didn't drink much, was a little drunk under Du Dalei's offensive.

He put his arms around Du Dalei's neck and began to call him brothers.

"Brother, my own brother. I am the eldest son in the family and have had no brothers since I was a child. My uncle's brother is twenty years older than me! He's about my father's age, and I don't have anything to say to him. In the future, you will be my brother, I will practice martial arts with you, and I will reorganize the lintel of my Li family in the future. ”

Du Dalei felt a little strange: "Isn't your father the deputy secretary of the privy council?" What lintel are you going to rebuild? ”

Li Jilong shook his head: "Brother, you don't know." Last year, my father was demoted, and from the privy deputy history, he was suddenly released as the history of the Zizhou assassin! ”

"Hey, what's wrong with your father? Tell my brother about it. ”

Li Jilong had tears in his eyes: "Brother, last year, that is, in the first month of the first year of Qiande (963), the imperial court deployed Rong Yanzhao, the envoy of Shannan Dongdao Jiedu and the tomb of the servant, as the military capital of the Hunan Dao camp, and my father as the capital supervisor, and sent troops to quell the rebellion in Langzhou (now Changde, Hunan).

Before leaving, His Majesty summoned my father and personally taught him the strategy, so that he could take the opportunity to seize Jingnan. My father led the army to Xiangzhou (now Xiangfan, Hubei) and sent people to Jingnan Jiedu to envoy Gao Jichong to borrow the road. Gao Jichong sent an envoy to Jingmen (now Hubei) to reward our army.

My father set up a banquet in Murong Yanzhao's tent that night to entertain the envoys, but he personally led thousands of cavalry to Jiangling (now Hubei). Jingmen is only more than 100 miles away from Jiangling, and Gao Jichong heard that our army was coming, and he rushed out to greet him. My father ordered him to wait for Murong Yanzhao outside the city, and led his army into the north gate of Jiangling. By the time Gao Jichong accompanied Murong Yanzhao into the city, our army had already occupied the key points in the city. Gao Jichong was helpless, so he had to obey the table. Our army was bloodless, and won 3 states, 17 counties, and 142,300 households. Do you think my dad is a big deal? ”

"It's very big, your father's level of fighting is on par with the famous generals of the ancients. What happened then? ”

Li Jilong listened to Du Dalei praise his father, and his mood was a little better, he poured another sip of wine, and continued:

"After Jingnan returned to Shun, my father led the army to Langzhou in the starry night. He first divided his troops to attack Yuezhou (now Yueyang, Hunan), broke the enemy army at the mouth of the Sanjiang River, beheaded 4,000 ranks, and captured more than 700 ships; He also defeated the enemy general Zhang Congfu and took advantage of the victory to attack Aoshan. In order to shock the enemy army, my father selected dozens of fat captives and ordered his subordinates to eat; He also stabbed some young and healthy people and released them back to Langzhou. The people of the city were shocked when they heard the news, and they set fire to the city and dispersed. Langzhou Marshal Shou Zhou Baoquan fled in the Jiangnan Temple, and was immediately captured by my father's troops. ”

Du Dalei interjected: "Little Lizi, your father is very powerful, and there is no opponent in the battle array. But eating human flesh is a bit excessive. ”

Li Jilong nodded: "Don't hide it from my brother, I also think my father is a bit too much." But the Son does not say anything about the Father, and I can't say anything. ”

Du Dalei patted him on the shoulder: "You want to drive a little, it's all over." How did your father get demoted? Is it because of the eating of human flesh? ”

Li Jilong shook his head: "No, my father has been interested in making contributions in his life, and this time he sent troops to Langzhou, and he deeply felt the grace of His Majesty's acquaintance, and he wanted to repay it." But he was authoritarian in his dealings, and the coach Murong Tingzhao was at odds with him because of this. The two played each other and attacked each other. His Majesty favors the old ministers, after all, Murong Yanzhao is His Majesty's righteous brother. Therefore, the imperial court did not ask about Murong Yanzhao's faults, and only degraded my father as the assassin of Zizhou (now Zibonan, Shandong). And Murong Yanzhao has been promoted to the knighthood, which is really infuriating! ”

Tai Qin sighed: "Hey, Master Li, the Sprinkle family said something unpleasant, this is your father's retribution!" He was damned by God because of cannibalism! This is because of this. ”

Li Jilong was a little sullen: "Master, I've also thought about these things. But I'm still young, and I can't do anything about it yet! ”

Taiqin carefully studied Li Jilong's face for a while, which made Li Jilong a little hairy.

"Master, what are you watching me do? Am I wrong? ”

Du Dalei said with a smile: "Little Lizi, you can let the monk take a look." He can see that he is accurate, I will not suffer a loss for you. ”
