CHAPTER XXXIII

When Chen Baichuan arrived at Chen's mansion, he walked into the palace of Emperor Qinghua side by side. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

There were no other courtiers around, and the king was less restrained. He sat down in a chair without any fuss, waiting for Emperor Qinghua to finish his dinner.

Emperor Qinghua picked up the brass wine glass and pressed the rim of the glass against his lower lip. According to the Tai Yi, drinking alcohol in moderation can eliminate fatigue and soothe the nerves.

He put the last piece of meat on the table into his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it, and rinsed his mouth with the water in the jade bowl to indicate that his dinner was over. When the eunuch came in and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks on the table, Emperor Qinghua ordered everyone else to go out, and only he and the king were left in the palace.

He covered his head, which had been approved for a day, rubbed it gently, and said, "Has Chen Baichuan told you his purpose?" ”

The side by side king behaved in a way, but the expression on his face was very different. He never complained that Emperor Qinghua had placed him under house arrest in the imperial capital in disguise, but Emperor Qinghua had disappointed him in recent years. When all the ministers in the court criticized him together, Emperor Qinghua responded to his request with coldness.

Regardless of friendship, the relationship between the two is that of a king and a minister. Therefore, Emperor Qinghua's instructions, he will conscientiously complete them.

There is no one else, and the king of the side by side doesn't need to act, he said coldly: "The purpose of what he said is the same as what Your Majesty knows, that is, to convey the ownership of Chen Heng's Ten Thousand Swords Peak Forest." ”

"What else did he say?"

He also said that he would return to Chen after the ancestor worship day. Other than that, he didn't reveal anything else. ”

"Hmm."

No one spoke, the king was speechless, and the ministers were speechless.

After a long time passed like this, the king spoke first: "If there is nothing else to do, the minister will retire." ”

Emperor Qinghua looked tired, he nodded heavily, and motioned for the side king to leave.

When King Side by side was about to walk out of the palace, Emperor Qinghua's voice was full of tiredness and said, "What happened before, I was sorry for you. You also understand my pressure, we are relatives, and I hope you will stop hating me. ”

"I don't dare."

That figure, after all, walked out of the palace.

Beep――――――

Nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, Old Man Zhan came from a long way in the dust of Chen Guo, and naturally had his purpose.

Chen Baichuan filled the two wine bowls with Moutai and asked, "Senior Zhan, after three rounds of wine, I have been rewarded for most of the day, but the younger generation still has something I don't understand in my heart, so I asked directly." ”

"Ask, ask."

"The seniors came this time, not just to see the scenery of Daheng."

"Young people are impatient." Old man Zhan smiled and answered the question that was supposed to be answered, "Of course I'm not here to enjoy the scenery." Your brother is worried about your safety and asks the old man to protect your life. ”

Please this old man, I don't know how much my brother has spent. Chen Baichuan continued to ask: "The predecessors are famous, please take action in person, I'm afraid it's a lot of money, right?" ”

"Guess?"

Old man Zhan's dissonance flared up again. Chen Baichuan wanted to reply to him: Guess you're a big watermelon!

It's a pity that the other party's strength is strong, and he doesn't want to be in a different place under the old man Zhan's air gun, and become the first laughing stock among the many traversers who died because of his cheap mouth, so he had to guess: "Yellow and white things, predecessors and other characters can be picked up anywhere, and it will not be rare to think of them." And Mei Jiaoniang's words, cough, the seniors are over half a hundred years old, and they must have passed the age of liking these. Could it be that what my brother promised you is the benefit of Linkongmen? ”

When Old Man Zhan heard this, his face suddenly became much more solemn, and he changed his previous frivolous appearance. His eyes and movements became serious, and he said solemnly: "Your brother, promise to marry Princess Chen Guo to me, and give me another 10,000 taels of gold." ”

"Ahem."

Seeing his serious appearance, Chen Baichuan listened to his words with bated breath, but it turned out to be waiting for Old Man Zhan's nonsense. If there was still wine in his mouth at this moment, he would definitely spray rain and dew from his mouth to wash this old man to the fullest.

Old man Zhan didn't say the price for some reason, and of course Chen Baichuan wouldn't be stupid to ask.

The two continued to drink, continued to chat, talked about martial arts anecdotes, and debated which of the several famous chivalrous girls was the most beautiful. On the surface, he was in harmony, and Chen Baichuan suppressed the urge to strangle the old man several times in his heart.

For example, when the old man ranked him among the top ten beauties in the rivers and lakes.

For example, the old man laughed at him for being just a weak chicken who had just learned martial arts.

Born with natural beauty, is it something that Chen Baichuan can decide? And with his age, there is no shame in such martial arts!

Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated! Fortunately, Chen Baichuan has never been a soldier, he is a military general, a chivalrous man, and he doesn't have to work hard to be insulted. Of course, in his heart, he cordially greeted the elders of Old Man Zhan.

I drank the wine for a long time, and drank it all night; The flask was empty, and the hazy sky of the early morning was almost out.

For some reason, the two drank most of the night in an unusually harmonious manner. Alcohol was running around in his head, otherwise Chen Baichuan would be surprised to find that he had been friends with this nasty old man all night.

Men's friendship is tempered in wine.

"Cheers." Old man Zhan seemed to be drunk, and he spoke as if he was biting his tongue.

Chen Baichuan was not drunk to the point of being unconscious, and he knew that if he drank this wine again, he would have to drink it until the next morning.

He also bit his big tongue and said, "Senior, it's getting late, let's drink here today." ”

There is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, not to mention that this is just a drinking of wine and food on the ground. When the wine is drunk, people also have the idea of going.

"Hmm."

Old man Zhan sat in place with the empty wine bottle in his arms, and had no intention of moving. It's just that the masters have a strange temper, and Chen Baichuan left by himself.

Seeing that the young man's figure was about to disappear into the darkness, Old Man Zhan hurriedly spoke again, as if he wanted to say something but shouldn't say. Perhaps because he had drunk too much, he coughed a few times and said, "Your brother said that as long as the old man sends you back to Chen Guo, he can keep me safe and secure in the empty gate." ”

The young man's ears were very good, and when he heard his words, he turned his head. The young man said: "Then my brother really took a big advantage, the empty door is guarded by seniors, what else can there be?" ”

The old man sighed in the moonlight and said, "I will die this time." ”

"Haha, who can kill you?"

The boy quickened his pace, he was really sleepy. Drunkenness and sleepiness were intertwined in his head, making him groggy and making him not think about Old Man Zhan's meaning.

His figure disappeared into the darkness, leaving Zhan Ruichong alone.

The servants of the Chen Mansion had long been asleep, and now that Chen Baichuan had left, the entire Chen Mansion seemed to be sleeping quietly.

Wine is heartfelt, and when people touch wine, they will say all the words that dig out their hearts. Old man Zhan had said enough tonight, but he still wanted to finish the last sentence.

He looked at the moon and muttered:

"The second is the first in line."
