Chapter 854 arrives in Gaochang

The battle on the northwest front was in full swing, and in the rear of Gaochang, there were not many shadows of the war, except for not being able to enter and leave the border at will, the residents of Gaochang still worked and worked as usual, making ends meet. Only occasionally will they talk about current affairs, and those who have relatives in the army at home will also be concerned about the situation on the front line.

Of course, after all, it is a war between the two countries, although the battlefield is not in Gaochang, but the bad impact is still inevitable, such as some merchants in Gaochang, the money village only takes and does not store, the restaurant only has three or two guests all day long, as for the inn, it is even more deserted, now this season, how can anyone dare to go out of the field, most of them are honestly staying at home to avoid the scourge of war, how can there be a mind to go out of the inn?

"Get drunk" as a restaurant and inn opened by foreign merchants, affected even more, has not seen any guests outside for more than ten days, the guys in the store are so idle that the calluses on their hands have fallen off a lot, the food in the back kitchen is poured, poured down, fresh vegetables become rancid, fresh rice becomes moldy, almost every day is losing money.

Other inns and restaurants have long been closed down, but 'getting drunk' is strange, even if they are losing money every day, and they have not heard the shopkeeper say that they want to close down and recuperate, that is, there is no half of the guest to come to eat and stay in the hotel, and the business of the restaurant is still the same, and it is still necessary to open on time every day, never stopping.

Early this morning, a horse stopped in front of the store, a young customer and a slightly chubby entourage got out of the car and entered the store, and for the first time in more than ten days, "get drunk" ushered in guests who wanted to stay and eat.

Maybe it's been a long time without guests coming, this time the shopkeeper who got drunk was actually out in person to greet him, as soon as the guests entered the store, the old shopkeeper took the guests into the most luxurious VIP room on the third floor of the restaurant, and the guys in the store sighed for a while, thinking that usually those who want to enter the VIP room which one must not come to book three or five days in advance, today is cheap This young son, not only can he sit directly, but also can get the old shopkeeper to take care of the greeting.

"Xiǎo person Liu Delong, I have seen the owner!" Welcoming the two into the suite, the man who followed him retreated, and seeing that there were no outsiders around, the old shopkeeper who was 'drunk' suddenly bent down and bowed deeply to the young man sitting in the front chair.

"The old shopkeeper is polite, and sit down to talk." Liu Yiyi glanced at Liu Delong up and down, when he decided to open a branch in Gaochang, this Liu Delong was the person he personally selected, judging from the assets shipped back from Gaochang for more than a year, this Liu Delong has done a good job in Gaochang, at least he has taken a firm foothold.

"Hasn't General Chu arrived yet?" After taking the tea poured by Liu Delong, Liu Yiyi was not polite, and asked him directly.

"Go back to the east," Liu Delong bowed and replied, "Because I don't know the exact time of the arrival of the owner, the Xiǎo people just sent someone to General Chu's mansion branch to make a sound, and did not say when they would meet here, but the Xiǎo people have already sent their henchmen to inform them, and General Chu will be able to arrive after a while." ”

"Well," Liu Yiyi nodded lightly, although it was the first time he came to Gaochang, but he still knew some of the circumstances here, when the restaurant was established, Chu Yi was not less to help him, not only got a piece of land and store in the Imperial City of Gaochang, but also the geographical location was also very convenient, not too far from the mansion where Chu Yi and their high-ranking officials and nobles lived.

"Order," bowed his head and took a sip of tea, Liu Yiyi said in a loud voice: "Prepare a table of good wine and food, I want to discuss some confidential matters with General Chu, and don't let people approach this room during this time." ”

"Yes, owner!" In response, Liu Delong got up and retreated, and after a while, a whole table of sumptuous banquets was placed in front of Liu Yiyi, and Liu Yiyi sat there like that, waiting for Chu Yi's arrival.

"Young master, will there be any danger if we come here so rashly and meet Chu Yi directly," Standing behind their young master, Liu Cheng said softly: "That Chu Yi is not a Tang man after all, if he has any evil intentions, then wouldn't we be ......"

You know, their young master is now a thorn in the eye of Hou Junji's old horseman, and he can't wait to get rid of it all the time, if Chu Yi has two hearts and wants to behave in front of Hou Junji, wouldn't that their young master's trip be a self-throwing net and become a meal on someone's plate?

"Hehe," Liu Yiyi shook his head and chuckled, and said lightly: "For us, that Chu Yi is indeed an outsider, the so-called non-race, his heart must be different, but don't forget, for Chu Yi and them Gaochang people, why is Hou Junji not an outsider, not an outsider?" ”

"Hou Junji is in charge of military power in Gaochang State, and he is so arrogant that he doesn't take the local generals of Gaochang in his eyes at all," Liu Yiyi continued: "If you are also a general of Gaochang, what will you think in your heart when you see an outsider riding on your head?" ”

"What's more," without waiting for Liu Cheng to answer, Liu Yiyi continued: "What's more, the reason why Chu Yi was imprisoned in the Tang Post House was more or less because he was framed by Hou Junji, you said, there are so many reasons on the side, will Chu Yi put us in a disadvantageous situation in order to curry favor with Hou Junji?" ”

"The young master is right, it's Cheng Duo who thinks about it." Liu Cheng echoed and said, "No matter how you say that the young master also helped him back then, he has the grace to live, thinking that Chu Yi is a foreign race, and he will not have any bad thoughts about the young master." ”

"Alright, you can stay in peace." Liu Yiyi nodded and said: "Although our trip is dangerous, but the dangerous part is definitely not here with Chu Yi, Chu Yi will arrive in a while, you don't have to say more." ”

"Yes, young master!" In response, Liu Cheng closed his mouth knowingly and stood aside respectfully.

General Chu's Mansion, the guy who heard 'get drunk' came to report, saying that the person he had been waiting for had arrived, Chu Yi's heart became a little apprehensive, I didn't expect this Liu Yi to be really bold, knowing that Hou Junji had a certain amount of power in Gaochang, he dared to choose to enter the city during the day, wasn't he afraid that he would fall into the hands of Hou Junji?

Chu Yi had also heard of some things that happened on the front line last month, and it was rumored that Hou Junji had actually proposed that if Li Tangken Jiāo came out of Liu Yiyi and his family, and exempted Gao Chang from the responsibility of disrespect, then the old man would retire and truce. Although a discerning person knows at a glance that this is just a joke, it is impossible for Hou Junji to break the war between the two sides because of his own sī ~ good o lightly, but from the other side, it has also been explained that Hou Junji's resentment towards the Liu clan has reached an unforgettable point.

Chu Yi had no doubt that if Liu Yiyi really fell into the hands of Hou Junji, it would not be surprising that Hou Junji would torture him.

"Is it reckless?" Chu Yi shook his head lightly, if Liu Yiyi was a reckless person, then there were few people in the world who could be cautious.

"He calculated it accurately, Hou Junji wouldn't have thought that he would come to Gaochang at this time." Chu Yi thought in his heart: "Surprise and attack unprepared, this willow has already won the three flavors of the art of war." ”

For Liu Yiyi, Chu Yi not only felt jī in his heart, but also admired him from the bottom of his heart, and did not mention other deeds such as making money and rectifying Hou Junji's military department book, but the book "Thick Black Record" that Liu Yiyi once gave him benefited Chu Yi a lot, and how could he grasp the people's hearts and the situation of those things in the officialdom so well, how could he do that reckless act and easily risk his life?

I'm afraid that it's not just Hou Junji, Liu Yiyi's trip is that he Chu Yi and the princess Jin Ye in the palace have already guessed their thoughts, otherwise, at the time of the war between the two countries, how could Liu Yiyi, a Tang man whose identity and status are very sensitive, enter and leave the enemy country so calmly?

In the past few months, His Majesty's body has gradually weakened, and listening to the old lady doctor in the palace secretly say, His Majesty's days are afraid that they are not very long, as long as three months, and as short as ten days, I am afraid that the oil will run out.

And at this time, the eldest prince and the three princes are all out with the army to the east, and Hou Junji and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command are not in the imperial capital, if His Majesty really has any accident at this time, it will undoubtedly be a God-given opportunity for Princess Jin Ye. Now the most critical question in front of Princess Jin Ye is, after His Majesty returns to heaven, how can she successfully ascend to the throne, and how can she avoid the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who wait for Junji and the eldest brother and third brother to be outside afterwards?

Liu Yiyi was afraid that he saw this, so he rushed over at this juncture, two people have the same goal, one is rich and rivals the country, and the other is in power, like this kind of thing that is mutually beneficial, Princess Jin Ye has no reason to refuse. And he, Chu Yi, can naturally get some benefits from it, after all, after overthrowing Hou Junji, Gao Chang always needs a general who can take and control the scene.

"Xiǎo San'er," Chu Yi changed his clothes in the bedroom, and before leaving Mén'er, he called his accompanying henchmen to him, and whispered to him: "You will go to the palace with the token of the general, and say to Princess Jin Ye, and say that the guests from the east have arrived, and invite her to the city to 'get drunk' to meet the guests." ”

"Yes, sir!"

"Eh, wait!" Seeing that Xiǎo San'er turned around and was about to leave, Chu Yi stopped him again, and said in a deep voice: "Remember that this matter can only be told to Princess Jin Ye alone, don't let the third person listen to it!" ”

"Don't worry, sir, xiǎo people can save it!" Seeing that their master said solemnly, knowing that things must be different, xiǎo San'er was reassuring their master, and then saw Chu Yi waving his hand to him, so he turned around and left quickly
