Chapter 48 III

The proud building in Chang'an City is not a well-known restaurant, but its cheese and lamb, fairy quail soup, lychee crab and roasted roe deer are all regarded as a must in Beijing. In the past, even if it is not a city, it is also an endless stream of people coming and going, but today this proud building is surprisingly quiet inside and out, the reason is also very simple, today it was packed, and now there are four guests sitting on the third floor of the elegant seat are taking care of themselves to push the cup and change the lamp, eating happily.

The shopkeeper knew that the origin of these four people was not small, one of the leaders was Lord Wu Sicheng, who was newly promoted to the young eunuch of the palace, and the other two were Ji Chongxin and Jin Jier, the captains of the main and deputy guards in the inner courtyard of the palace.

The shopkeeper here greeted Xiao Er to entertain him hospifully, but these four people didn't take it seriously, and every dish would be swept away in the blink of an eye, especially the fourth person who the shopkeeper didn't know, every time he ate most of it alone, and the emaciated belly seemed to be a bottomless pit, which was completely incompatible with his elegant appearance.

This person is Yang Tao, on the night when Empress Dowager Li sent assassins to assassinate Emperor Liu Yan, he killed more than 40 top masters alone, and his strength is breathtaking. Because he is usually greedy, Wu Sicheng held a banquet in the proud building to thank him.

As a Turk, Gil naturally has a soft spot for the cheese stewed sheep, and he said while chewing: "I really opened my eyes that day, it turns out that there are people like sheep heroes in this world, before I only heard that Abichil Khan is the strongest strong man in the grassland, and now I think about it, even he can't face so many masters at the same time and defeat them all." ”

After taking a sip of wine, Yang Tao stuffed a dish with chopsticks in his mouth. Only then did he smile and said: "Brother Jin is serious, that Abicheril is indeed a powerful character." He was able to block the hidden weapons below, which are very few of the masters I have met in my life. Even Zai Xia was taken aback, I originally intended to take his life, but it would be a pity to kill such a strong man. ”

Jingil's eyes widened: "Brother Yang, you have really seen the Great Khan, it's amazing, how many guards are under the big man to protect him layer by layer, not to mention a person, even a bird can't fly in." ”

Ji Chongxin was overwhelmed by alcohol, and he was already drunk for three points, so he pushed Jin Jill and said, "You see that the sheep hero is walking on the ground when he enters the palace." Isn't the royal tent of the Great Khan of Tukhe a piece of cake? ”

Ginger smiled: "Yes, yes, you are very right. It's just one thing I don't understand, we contribute to the emperor, and the emperor also rewards us for meritorious deeds, and gives us so many rewards, but why doesn't Brother Yang want anything? ”

Yang Tao smiled slightly, put down his chopsticks, and said, "I don't want to be an official in the next place." Gold and silver treasures are nothing but outside of me, beauty? It's not rare, and fame is an ethereal thing, and only the pursuit of a higher realm of swordsmanship is what you want. But even the emperor can't give me such a thing, so I can only pursue it by myself. The fight was very good, and the wine was drunk today. That's enough. ”

"Brother Sheep, atmosphere! Little brother toasts you. No, a big bowl of toast! Kingill said, emptying the bowl of vegetables. Fill a bowl of wine and drink it all. Yang Tao directly picked up the wine jug and drank it to the bottom.

Wu Sicheng, who had been eating unhurriedly beside him, suddenly said: "Brother Yang has returned to Chang'an this time, and he can search for the delicacies of the capital again." ”

Yang Tao listened, put down the empty wine jug, and said: "Brother Wu, you guessed wrong, I originally planned to continue to travel the world, but after entering the pass, I received a letter from my teacher, saying that I have traveled the world for a long time, and I returned to my master to test the results of these years of practice." I was thinking about having told Brother Wu that I had a trip to the past, and then I returned it, so it would be too rude if I didn't say goodbye, so I made a special trip back to say goodbye, and I didn't want to run into that thing as soon as I came back. ”

"So, Brother Yang is leaving Chang'an? Brother Yang has made great contributions to the country, and I haven't had time to repay him, so I don't know when we can meet again. Wu Sicheng couldn't help frowning when he heard Yang Tao say this.

Yang Tao smiled and said: "Indeed, if the family teacher has a life, I am afraid that he will not set foot in the rivers and lakes again for ten or eight years." Life is impermanent, and Brother Wu doesn't have to care too much. Besides, now that the Queen Mother's party has suffered a heavy blow, I am afraid that it will be difficult to turn over, and the emperor's position should be stable, even if he is not secretly protected, it will not be a big problem. ”

Wu Sicheng was said by him and muttered: "The Queen Mother's party fell too fast, so I am afraid that Yan Ming and Anjingbian's faction will not be able to contain it."

Yang Tao picked up a piece of roe deer meat and put it in his mouth and chewed it, and said with a smile: "Not necessarily, although I don't quite understand this political pattern, but the emperor only beheaded Han Kemin alone, isn't that just going to reserve some strength for his faction?" and forcibly pulled Ping Guogong out as a provincial servant, isn't it just to contain Yan Ming and them? The imperial examination is about to begin, and if a group of talents are promoted from among the new scientific and technological scholars, things will be easier to handle. is to take 10,000 steps back, then don't you still have Brother Wu? With you mediating in it, Yan Ming's faction will not form a situation of the Queen Mother's party. ”

Wu Sicheng was told by Yang Tao, so he had to smile bitterly: "Brother Yang really understands things when he sees things, and he is willing to bow down." ”

Yang Tao raised his eyebrows proudly: "Anyway, it's not in vain to be in the palace for so long, it's just that you guys are too brain-consuming, and you really don't like to get involved." ”

Saying that, Yang Tao suddenly stood up and arched his hand: "Brother Wu, Brother Ji, Brother Jin, since we have talked about it today, then let's say goodbye, he will meet again one day!" ”

Wu Sicheng hurriedly said: "Why is Brother Yang so anxious?"

Before the words fell, I saw Yang Tao's feet lightly touch the floor, and the person rushed straight out of the window, jumped out a few feet away on the cornice, and then disappeared after a few ups and downs.

The three people in the restaurant were dumbfounded, and no one expected that Yang Tao would say that he would walk without any concern. Wu Sicheng looked at it for a long time, shook his head and sighed: "Come and go in a hurry, it's really like an idle cloud and a wild crane, it's a pity that you haven't had time to attend my wedding with Qing'er." ”

With that, Wu Sicheng took out a silver ingot and put it on the table, and then walked downstairs, followed by Ji Chongxin and Jin Jier.

The shopkeeper watched the three of them leave in amazement, only wondering why there were four people who came, but when they left, there were only three people left. (To be continued......)
