Chapter 375: The Drunkard
readx;
The Beijing suburb store is Jinyiwei's territory, and Zhu Qing must have said hello in advance. But when they walked into www.biquge.info the wild shop, Zhu Qing still felt that something was wrong.
There was a man sitting in the inn, wearing a hat and a coat, still dripping with water, wet, and not taking it off. The man sat alone in a corner of the inn, face in, drinking alone. As if the people who came and went had nothing to do with him.
Zhu Qing glanced at it, then walked to the counter, "Shopkeeper?" Zhu Qing shouted, the shopkeeper came out, and he was still his own person, which made Zhu Qing feel a little relieved that the wild shop was at least still in the hands of Jinyiwei.
"Does the guest officer want to eat or stay?" As he spoke, the shopkeeper glanced at Zhu Qing.
"You want both, this ghost weather, it is estimated that you won't be able to go for a while. Prepare ten upper rooms for us, and find a place to put the carriage outside the door, the battle ahead is tight, and these military rations cannot be wasted! Zhu Qing instructed the shopkeeper.
"Okay, but there are not enough upper rooms for ten, and the guest officer has already booked one, and now there are only nine upper rooms left." As he spoke, the shopkeeper pointed to the drunkard in the corner.
When the drunkard heard the shopkeeper mention himself, he didn't make any unusual moves, and still drank a little wine to himself.
"Well, it's all guests when you go out, so let's give us nine rooms, and I'll take a look at the menu by the way." Zhu Qing deliberately said loudly, and sure enough, the drunkard suddenly stopped his wine glass and drank all the wine in the cup after a while.
"What's going on? Didn't you clear the scene? Zhu Qing took the opportunity to ask the shopkeeper softly.
The shopkeeper muttered helplessly, "It is estimated that it is a person on the road, and it is useless to show the cards." The brothers didn't dare to startle the snake. ”
After hearing this, Zhu Qing understood that this product was specially here to find fault.
"Guest officer, can you order this dish? I'll let the kitchen do it. After a while, the shopkeeper asked about Zhu Qing.
Zhu Qing stared at the menu and ordered a few casually, this, this, and this, each with double portions. Hurry up, the brothers are waiting for dinner. ”
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll give you the order." The shopkeeper took the menu, and ordered a few men to go out to lead the horses, and arrange the carriage by the way.
"A few of you, go over with your buddies and take a look, and settle the carriage for me, and don't wet the military rations." Zhu Qing said, glanced at Huzi, and Huzi naturally knew that the atmosphere in Yedian was a little different from the last time he came, so he also ordered a few intruders and Jinyi guards to take care of the carriage.
"My lord, please come inside." Zhu Qing invited Liu Langshan's father-in-law to a seat, and then Huzi wanted to help Li Yufeng come in, but this girl was more skillful than a gentleman, and slipped to Zhu Qing's side with a package and a sword in her hand, "Brother Zhu, what's so delicious?" ”
Seeing that Li Yufeng was a little presumptuous, Zhu Qing coughed, "Cough, Miss Yufeng, the adults are here, Hugh is rude." Although he was concerned about these trivial matters, Zhu Qing's eyes did not leave the drunkard.
Huzi followed Zhu Qing's eyes, and also felt that this person was very good, he just wanted to talk to Zhu Qing, but was stopped by Zhu Qing, "Shh, I just ordered a few side dishes, I don't know if it suits the appetite of adults, you can order some more." ”
"No need, our family is not stubborn, your Jinyiwei will naturally eat better than ours." This Liu Gonggong seems to have something to say, and it is no wonder that since Wang Chengen was seized power, the eunuch's life has plummeted, and the newly appointed factory guard governor is not a person from the eunuch system, but a murderous master who has been talking to the eunuch.
"My lord laughed, you are the herald appointed by the emperor, how dare Zhu Qing slack off. By the way, father-in-law, on this rainy day, you have to pay more attention to the holy decree, and don't be confused. Zhu Qing knew that Gonggong Liu was angry, but he didn't mean to be angry with him, but wanted to find out the emperor's holy decree to break into the camp.
Unexpectedly, this father-in-law Liu was really careful, and when he heard it, he was even more angry, "Hmph! This is not to bother Lord Qinglong. ”
As soon as the drunkard heard the word Qinglong, he paused, and the wine poured in his hand spilled on the table.
Zhu Qing saw it clearly, and now he was a little relieved, even if that person was here to find fault, but looking at this determination, Zhu Qing was a little sure.
"Xiao Er, the wind and rain are urgent, and you spilled the guest officer's table, and you still don't wipe it for others?" Zhu Qing drank hot tea and said deliberately aloud, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Great!" The shopkeeper was originally a Jinyiwei, and when he heard Zhu Qing's instructions, he hurriedly walked over with a rag. was about to wipe it, but was stopped by the drunkard who raised his hand, "No need, I'm full." A deep voice came from under the hat.
Out of Zhu Qing and Huzi, everyone present didn't pay attention to what the man said, it can be seen that although this person is not a top master, he is definitely a master!
As he spoke, the man got up and walked upstairs, lowering his head as he went, trying to lower the brim of his hat, but when he passed by Zhu Qing's side, the man said softly, "Thank you!" Although it sounded polite, Zhu Qing still felt a murderous aura!
The man went straight up to the second floor, which was all the upper room, and the man pushed open the leftmost room, and when he entered, he closed the door.
"It's weird." Li Yufeng looked at the wet footprints on the ground and muttered.
"Humph! Our family is also full! Liu Gonggong coaxed angrily, shook his handkerchief and got up and left the table.
"Huh? My lord? Zhu Qing wanted to keep Father-in-law Liu, but he didn't persuade him, so he gave up, he just meant it, this Liu Langshan really didn't deserve his kind of service.
"Grandpa Liu's temper is really weird." Li Yufeng pouted.
"Presumably, Qinglong didn't answer him just now, and he was unhappy." Huzi is sometimes careful.
"That guy was simple." Zhu Qing did not answer the topic of Gonggong Liu.
Huzi nodded, "There's definitely something wrong with this person." ”
"At night, everyone should wake up when they go to bed, but don't startle the snakes, we have so many things, we can try not to make trouble." Zhu Qing commanded.
The tables next to him nodded their heads.
"Two brothers, go to Grandpa Liu's room for those meals later, and accompany him by the way, but don't let people hurt Grandpa Liu." Zhu Qing said to the two inner guards.
Although it is said that it is a large internal guard, and he directly obeys the emperor's orders, but everyone knows the prestige of Qinglong, and there is something to do with the territory of Jinyiwei, the two brothers nodded very smartly, hugged their fists and said, "All obey the general's orders." ”
As he spoke, all the dishes on the table were ready.
"Serve!" With the shout of the shopkeeper, the guys brought the finished ones to the table one after another. After a day's journey, these people were tired and hungry, and they swallowed saliva as soon as the food came up.
"I'm going to hurry tomorrow, we won't drink tonight, and when we get to Kaifeng, I, Zhu Qing, invite everyone to have a good drink!" Zhu Qing issued a ban on alcohol.
Although Huzi is good at drinking, he also knows that this time the task is important, so he nodded and said, "Listen to General Qinglong, no one is allowed to touch wine tonight, and give Lao Tzu a wake-up call when you sleep!" ”
"Yes!" The soldiers responded, and under Zhu Qing's greeting, they picked up the dishes and chopsticks one by one and devoured them for a while.
"Miss Yufeng, tonight you will sleep in the penultimate room on the right side of the third floor, next to General Huzi's room, if there is a situation, there is a response, General Huzi can protect you." Zhu Qing said casually while eating.
When Huzi heard this, he was a little moved, this Qinglong, who usually can't get along with himself everywhere, finally said a word today.
But before Huzi could be happy, Li Yufeng put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said with a crying face, "Why can't I be next to Brother Zhu's room?" ”
Zhu Qing was stunned for a moment, and smiled ruffianly, "Because I don't have a room, there are only nine upper rooms, and the ordinary rooms are full, I'll sleep in the firewood room later, there are a lot of rats and cockroaches, do you want to be together?" ”
When Li Yufeng heard this, he felt sick in his heart, so he had to shake his head again and again with a sad face.
When Huzi saw it, he was happy in his heart and quickly finished the rice in the bowl.
After eating, Zhu Qing patrolled the warehouse where the carriage was placed before entering the firewood room to squint, and the firewood room was facing the warehouse, Zhu Qing in his sleep was suddenly awakened by a slight sound, he opened his eyes and saw that a black shadow flashed into the carriage group!
"Drunkard?" A figure flashed through Zhu Qing's mind, and he drew his knife and sneaked out.
The rain was still falling, and it was not yet dawn. Zhu Qing came to the hall and learned a bird call, but there was no response upstairs, he knew that something was wrong. At this moment, the wind-chasing horse suddenly let out a long roar, and Zhu Qing didn't have time to go upstairs to see the situation, so he rushed towards the warehouse.
