Li Shun hurriedly gave him a full bosom again, and smiled, "Of course, just now in the barracks, I saw that you were like a hero from Hunan Province, those dishes are too light, and here is also a newly opened restaurant in the past few days, authentic Hunan flavor, come, taste this pot meat, see if it is authentic, and the hometown taste is not enough"

Li Shun was holding the dishes for Li Zhong, and at the same time looked sideways at the big signboard 'Shouchun Restaurant' across the street outside the window

……

Li Zhong has not been home for seven or eight years since he left home to follow Zhang Rake to join the army, his home is the barracks, the brothers around him are his family, and the food has always been a big pot of rice in the barracks. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

There were no expensive dishes on the table in front of the two, just some ordinary home-cooked side dishes in Xiangzhong, but in Li Zhong's opinion, it was a delicacy that surpassed everything.

Li Zhong urged the chopsticks, feasted, tasted the spicy and strong taste of home, and praised while eating, "En'en, not bad, how many days, I finally ate the taste of home again, this taste is strong enough, but it's not spicy enough, Master Li, you are really a person with a heart, it's a waste of money, come, brother respects you."

Li Shun picked up his bosom and said, "Okay, drink, if Vice General Li wants to eat in the future, he can come again at any time, although the moon silver is meager in the next, but these few small fried things can still be afforded, and Li Shun is deeply honored to be able to make friends with a big hero like the general."

Li Zhong swept the wind and took the time to wave his hand and said, "Master is too polite, you and I have the same surname Li, maybe it was still a family five hundred years ago, but I still went back to the camp earlier and left the barracks without permission, which is not a joke for General Zhang to know."

Li Shun filled him with another glass, "General Li can enjoy it with peace of mind, General Zhang may have been drunk under our old man Lu's wine glass at this time, ah, haha, come, drink"

The two of them had another glass of wine.

Li Zhong didn't drink less in the barracks, and now he has made a few big glasses of the taste of this hometown, and it is difficult not to get drunk, he held chopsticks in one hand, and held a wine glass on the other, haha smiled, "Haha, Master Li's words are reasonable, but having said that, you should still go back early, and when the matter of the mountain is over, let's sit down and drink it happily day and night, haha" He drank another glass and sighed, "Ah, good wine, master, it's dry, why don't you drink it, I haven't seen you move chopsticks"

Li Shun snorted and sighed, "I really can't get used to eating dishes with such a heavy taste, and today I really sacrificed my life to accompany the gentleman."

Li Zhong laughed, "This taste is only known to us Hunan people" As he spoke, he picked up a few slices of dried red pepper ingredients with chopsticks and put them into his mouth, chewing them in a big gulp, his face full of happiness.

Seeing that Li Shun swallowed his saliva again and again, this Hunan person is spicy, and today he can be regarded as seeing it with his own eyes.

Although the historical records record that the chili pepper was not introduced into China until the end of the Tang Dynasty, but China had a record of planting chili pepper as early as the Warring States Period, this is Qin pepper, known as the "king of peppers", it is said that it has been planted in the Warring States period, Qin pepper has the characteristics of bright red color, strong spicy taste, slender body shape, thick and oily meat, uniform wrinkles on the surface, etc., it is divided into two kinds of green and dry, especially the dry pepper is the most famous.

It is said that in the second year of the Great Song Dynasty and Ming Dynasty, there was a record of eating spicy food and spicy food.

Li Shun put down his cup of chopsticks and said, "Vice General Li has been following General Zhang for a long time."

Li Zhong's eyes were a little confused, it seemed that he was drunk, but he was still greedy for delicious food, and nodded, "Well, it's been seven or eight years."

Li Shundao, "Oh, it's not short, it seems that Vice General Li has won the trust of General Zhang, and he has been holding important positions in the army for so many years."

Li Zhong smiled, burped, and his eyes began to redden, "Carrying your head in your hands to help people die, trust or distrust is the same thing, it's good to survive" This is the truth, how many people can survive in the ancient war, and they are already content if they are still alive and have the life to eat a bite of hometown food.

Li Zhong seemed to be a little touched, and tilted his head to dry the glass of wine.

Seeing this, Li Shun was busy filling him up again, and said with a smile, "Well, once the general has achieved ten thousand bones, the general's military exploits over the years, it is not too much to give a marquis of ten thousand households, the court is too gracious."

Although Li Zhong was a little drunk, his reason was still there, and he waved his hand in surprise, "Master can't say that, I am content, content, come on, I only talk about Fengyue today, not about Fengyun, I think Master Lu values you very much, and you are inseparable everywhere."

Li Shun laughed a few times, "People like our master, that is, the life of the owner's welfare, can only hide behind the scenes for the rest of his life, no matter how well he does, he can't leave a name in history, no matter how important he is, he is also making a wedding dress for others, but fortunately, he has a decent thing to do and support his family" This is also the truth.

Li Zhong smiled, "Haha, under the eaves of other people's houses, come, Master Li, connected with the disease, do it"

Li Shun took a sip casually and said, "Hey, who said no, no, I'm in trouble right now, this thing is what makes me restless, and I don't know how to deal with the owner."

Li Zhong sighed, drank another glass, his face was flushed, and his eyes were a little confused, "What's wrong?" Today, you and I hit it off at first sight, Master Li can't help but come and listen to it and see if I can help."

Li Shun shook his head and sighed, "It's not those bandits on the mountain who made trouble, Master Lu advocates Zhao'an, but what is the truth?" That's a bandit, can you recruit an if you want to? They don't have to open their mouths to ask for a bunch of benefits before they agree."

Li Zhong nodded, this has been the case since ancient times, who does not do good things, bandits are by nature to make a windfall, how can they not make a fuss about Zhao'an, "Well, this is quite troublesome, but this is Lord Lu's business, what are you in a hurry with a master?" ”

Li Shun waved his hand, "No, no, Vice General Li, you don't know, I, the owner, have just been in office for less than a month, and I haven't even figured out where the bandits are nesting, and I have full authority to deal with this matter, so I was given half a month's time, you say, this matter is not urgent, if I am in a hurry, it just makes those bandits think that we are begging him, but let us be passive, take your time, Master Lu, I can't explain, this is so worried, hey! ”

Li Zhong not only didn't feel sympathetic but laughed, the smell of wine flew all over the sky, and said, "What should I be, don't worry, Master Li, you don't need to pay too much attention to this matter, just let it be."

Li Shun pretended to be surprised and said, "Why does Vice General Li have a clever plan, please speak bluntly, if you help me through this difficulty, I will thank you again in the future."

Li Zhong looked around and said in a low voice, "No, no, you don't need my help in this matter, you will know in a few days."

Li Shun said, "Don't, Brother Li, don't you say that I am not steadfast in my heart, what is the clever plan?" ”

Li Zhong thought about it, and was a little embarrassed, "This, this is really not easy to say, this matter is related to the military situation, and leaking the military information is not a joke."

Li Shun was secretly happy in his heart, sure enough, the hard work paid off, this table of wine and food was not in vain, he hurriedly moved to sit down next to Li Zhong, filled him with a glass, and said very sincerely, "Vice General Li, you are not a friend under the next place, you look here, just the two of us, you are doing me a favor, I don't say who knows, General Zhang is even more unlikely to know"

Li Zhong thought about it again and shook his head, "No, I don't dare to talk nonsense about this brother, I will lose my head."

Li Shun was also anxious, and he filled himself up, and there was no glass of wine left on his neck, and said, "Brother Li, since you know, why can't you order one or two, I guarantee that this matter will come out of your mouth and into my ears, and no third person will know."

When Li Zhong saw him like this, he thought about it carefully, and felt that this matter was already a sure thing, and everyone would know in a few days, and it had nothing to do with the overall situation, so he moved his heart and hidden, and said, "Hey, forget it, look at your anxious appearance, just say to listen to you, and it can be regarded as a thank you for relieving my homesickness, come and come over."

Li Shun was overjoyed for a while.

Li Zhong whispered in his ear, "Master, didn't you find that the barracks are full of ordnance for attacking the mountain, and General Zhang will send troops to attack the mountain in five days, so you don't need to do anything at all, Master, just wait a few days with peace of mind."

Li Shun was really taken aback, and said busily, "Didn't you say Zhao'an?" Why did General Zhang use force? ”

Li Zhong smiled, "Joke, a few little thieves really take themselves seriously, Zhao'an, dreaming, this is just General Zhang giving Lord Lu a face, and leaving some time to prepare ordnance, master, you are still serious"

This Li Zhong really didn't tell a lie, Zhang Rake planned it this way, the military order of the military department had arrived, and the dispatch of troops was justified, and he retreated thirty miles, giving Lu Fei time to go to Zhao'an, which can be regarded as giving Zhao Junma face, and no one can stop attacking the mountain five days later.

Li Shun was shocked, "What does General Zhang plan to do with these bandits when he breaks through the mountain?" ”

Li Zhong poured himself a drink, and said with a smile, "Don't leave one"

Li Shun said again and again, how much is this matter hanging, it almost made the master's plan to recruit security come to naught, but is it still too late? Can you succeed in recruiting an army before General Zhang's army is dispatched? Li Shun was uneasy.

"Since General Zhang promised our lord to recruit security first, why did he secretly make this move, isn't this trapping our lord for injustice?" Lee Shun said.

Li Zhong said softly on the side, "Of course it's urgent, there is a big thing you may not know, the will of the imperial court is to let General Zhang level the mountain in one go before the twenty-eighth of this month, you said that General Zhang should not do this, recruiting an is time-consuming and laborious, God knows when and what month it will be successful."

Li Shun silently calculated in his heart, today is already July 18, and it will only take ten days to complete the battle, no wonder General Zhang will have this move, it turns out that the military order has a time limit.

Li Shun thought about it and had to tell the master quickly, but it was still early, and there was still a big thing that the master had told him to do, so he smiled and said, "I see, since General Zhang has arranged everything, then I will be at ease in the future, come, drink and drink."

Li Zhong said, "Yes, yes, don't talk about this, drink"

Li Shun had been paying attention to the movement outside the window during the whole process of eating, drinking and chatting, and from here, he could see all the actions on the street, and at this time, two familiar figures in front of him were slowly walking from the street.

Li Shun looked up again at the private room on the second floor of the 'Shouchun Restaurant' across the street, and saw that the window on the second floor had been opened, which meant that the master had taken General Zhang there.

Li Shun nodded slightly, and said to Li Zhong, who was still eating and drinking on the side, "Brother Li, you helped me so much today, I don't know how to thank you, so you eat first, and go down to buy some Susong native products for you to bring back, and it is not in vain to come to Susong for a trip."

Li Zhong hurriedly waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, you're welcome."

Li Shun left his seat, "If you want it, you have to go, let's go, wait here for a while, and I'll be back right away."

Li Shun walked out of the restaurant, glanced at Zhao Junma, who was rushing over, and then looked at the second floor opposite, smiling and getting into the crowd on the street.

Zhao Junma stood outside the door of Xiangwei Building, holding a folding fan over his head and said to Steward Hu beside him, "Did Lord Lu say that I was invited to a banquet here today?" ”

Steward Hu nodded and said, "Yes, yes, it's this Xiangwei Building, that's right, it's just opened a few days, young master, please"

Zhao Junma nodded and walked in.

Lu Fei was splashed with water in the barracks with a big eye, and at this time he had changed into civilian clothes, and led Zhang Razi, who was also dressed in civilian clothes, into the private room on the second floor of the 'Shouchun Restaurant', and several of Zhang Rake's personal soldiers came together.

Zhang Rake was impatient, and before his ass was hot, he shouted for Xiao Er to quickly bring up the so-called century-old wine.

Lu Fei instructed Xiao Er to cut a few catties of braised pork, and then serve a few plates of small stir-frying, the wine is a lot and good, it is best to beat a rake and get drunk for seven or eight days.

The shopkeeper went downstairs in response.

Lu Fei walked to the window and looked at the window of Xiangwei Building across the street, which was the place where Li Shun and Li Zhong drank at the table just now, looking from here, it was clear at a glance, at this time, at the table, Li Shun had disappeared, only the deputy general Li Zhong and Zhao Junma were sitting opposite each other, as if they were talking about something, and Steward Hu was standing with his hands hanging down on the side, looking left and right, maybe he was waiting for his appearance.

Seeing this, Lu Fei smiled slightly, well, everything is under his control.

"Brother Lu, what are you looking at? Why can't this wine come up" Zhang Rake fidgeted, why hasn't this wine been served yet, it really reached the point of good wine, originally he would not open a wine order during the war operation, for fear of making a mistake, but today it is different, the people sent the Lao Jun wine that can not be refused, I didn't expect this drink to be stopped, the wine bugs were completely hooked out, and if it is not solved, I must not even be able to sleep.

"Just look at the street scene, what does General Zhang think of this stay in Songcheng?" Lu Fei walked back from the window and poured a cup of tea for Zhang Rake, "Drink tea first, moisten your throat, don't be afraid to wait for good wine, drink tea and tea first"

Zhang Rake was not interested in tea, so he took it and put it aside, and said, "Su Songcheng? Yes, the market is prosperous, the people's livelihood is rich, and now there is a young and promising county master like you, it will be better in the future, by the way, if you can still produce good wine, it will be even better, ah, haha"

The same flattery works everywhere, from which point of view, this Songcheng is not rich in people's livelihood, let alone prosperous in the market, if it weren't for Lu Fei's cancellation of some of the taxes levied by his predecessor Wang Xiancheng in the past few days, I am afraid that there will be half fewer pedestrians on this street.

Lu Fei also sat down, "General Zhang's words are too exalted to me, junior brother, I am also a newcomer, I dare not refuse this credit for myself, if it weren't for Zhao Junma sitting in Susong with the respect of the clan, where would I be today's Susong?"

Zhang Rake laughed, "Yes, yes, Brother Lu is reasonable, Zhao Junma has indeed contributed to Su Song."

Lu Fei approached Zhang Rake and seemed to ask casually, "What kind of person do you think this Zhao Junma is, General Zhang?" ”

Zhang Rake was stunned, "King Ning loves his son-in-law, and Jiangnan is very rich"

Lu Fei smiled, shook his head and said, "No, no, I'm not asking this, I'm talking about how he is?" ”

Zhang Rake was stunned again, "People? ”

"En" Lu Fei nodded.

Zhang Rake pondered, what does this kid mean? How could such a question be asked all of a sudden?

"This, Brother Lu, since your relationship with Zhao Junma is extraordinary, you should know a little more than me, an outsider," Zhang Razi was worried.

Lu Fei smiled slightly, and pointed at Zhang Rake with his finger, "General Zhang, this is not happy, isn't this just looking for some topic to get wine, what are you worried about, that's right, I have some relationship with Zhao Junma, it can't be a friend of the interests of both sides to take what they need, anyway, this is idle and idle, and it's okay to relieve his boredom, isn't it?"

Zhang Rake was noncommittal, and smiled indifferently, "Then brother, why don't you talk about it, according to the law, he is also under your rule."

Saying that, Zhang Rake listened to the small second end of the shop outside the door to see if the wine and food came up, and there was only the noise of the diners downstairs outside the door, so he picked up the teacup and drank the tea.

Lu Fei slapped his thigh and said, "I said, I said he was a bastard."

'Pounce' Zhang Rake almost choked to death with a sip of tea, 'cough cough' He coughed a few times, his face turned red, and he waved his hand at Lu Fei and said, "You are crazy, scolding the county master here"

Lu Fei pursed his mouth, "What's the matter, General Zhang doesn't think so?" I said he's a bastard."

Zhang Rake hurriedly let a few relatives who came with him go out, and closed the door again.

"Brother Lu, why did you say this? Where did Zhao Junma offend you? ”

"Offended, not only offended, he almost killed me"

"Oh, really?"

"Did you know that the fishermen of Big Lake made trouble?"

"Well, I've heard about it in the past few days, and I heard that you were injured because of it, brother."

"Hurt? How easy it is to say, if it weren't for my fast brain, I wouldn't have had a chance to drink with you here today, this Zhao Junma scraped these fishermen layer after layer, seeing that things were about to come out, just like my unlucky urge, I let him be used as a gunman without slipping away, and almost took his life, you say, I don't complain, I, I haven't married a daughter-in-law yet" Lu Fei looked angry and chattered.

Zhang rake dusted off the tea that had just dripped from his body, and smiled, "And this is the case?" Brother, are you exaggerating, is there some misunderstanding? ”

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Lu Fei gently slapped the table and brushed away the hair on his forehead, "Misunderstanding? Come, you see, this is what the fishermen did when they made trouble" He didn't say that he beat himself to save his life.

Zhang Rake was not interested in knowing these things, let alone talking about Zhao Junma in private, and said with a smile, "Brother, aren't you safe and sound now, forget about the matter in the past, maybe these little things Jun Ma Ye didn't think much about it, and didn't understand the seriousness of the matter, saying that he used you as a gunman, which is a bit too much."

Lu Fei smiled, "I don't care, it's a big deal, it's not a county, it's just like that, the big seal is thrown away, the wife and children are hot on the bedside, a few acres of fertile land and a cow, how can I be angry here"

Zhang Rake also smiled, "Brother Lu, why do you want to live a leisurely life at such a high-spirited age?"

Lu Fei laughed, "After all, isn't it to be an official for thousands of miles to make a fortune, my good life has just begun, and I can't leave if I don't have enough money, you say no"

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Lu Fei said again, "Little brother, let me say something, general, don't be angry."

"But there is no defense"

"I heard that you came to Susong this time, is it that Zhao Junma also has a role in it?"

Zhang Razi's face changed suddenly, and he said, "What do you mean?" I sent troops on the orders of the imperial court, what does it have to do with Zhao Junma?"

Lu Fei had expected him to say this, "Don't get excited, general, I don't just say it casually, no, no, no, I just want to remind the general, Zhao Junma is not a good type, follow the dealings that are flaming, don't be careless and let him be a gunman, and step away when you're done."

Zhang Rake was suspicious, drank tea casually, and said secretly: What does this kid mean? What does he know? Zhao Junma did use this kid first and wanted to kill him with his own hands, which is really a bit unrighteous, but I, Zhang Rake, am a general of the Fuying Army, he doesn't dare to do this to me, right?

Lu Fei secretly laughed in his heart when he saw him like this, yes, I just have to make you suspicious of each other, if you are ironclad, will I still have a way to make a fortune.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and the shopkeeper came with wine and food.

……

In the Xiangwei Building opposite, Zhao Junma was anxiously waiting for the landing flight.

Li Zhong had seen Zhao Junma, and as soon as he saw Zhao Junma walking in from outside the door just now, he immediately stepped forward to salute, led them to sit down together, and asked the shopkeeper to clean up the table, and the two talked.

Zhao Junma heard that Li Zhong said that Lu Fei was working in the barracks and might not be able to come, so he was a little angry, and immediately asked about some things in the barracks and what Zhang Razi's plan was next, so the two started talking.

In the private room on the second floor of Shouchun Restaurant, the shopkeeper had already put the wine and food on the table, and he withdrew after saying a word of slow use.

"Come on, General Zhang, it was really rude in the camp just now, I will punish myself with three cups first" Lu Fei raised his cup and drank three cups in a row.

As soon as Zhang Rake saw the wine, he immediately forgot all about the worries just now, laughed and drank three glasses in a row, and said while drinking, "Sure enough, it's a century-old wine, good wine, good wine, Brother Lu is really blessed."

Lu Fei also smiled, "It's easy, I'll ask someone to send you a few jars when you go back to the camp in a while."

Zhang Rake drank another glass and smiled heartily, "Okay, this trip is not in vain, come, brother, it's done"

Lu Fei also drank a glass, at this time, the hangover medicine he took that morning had long been invalid, and now drinking it is real kung fu, but unfortunately his alcohol consumption is really not very good, four glasses of wine in his stomach, his face immediately turned red.

"Oh, this wine is strong enough, and only a general like you can lower him, no, no, I have to breathe first" Lu Fei waved his hand and walked towards the window.
