Chapter Ninety-Four: The Drunken Wind Building
Fenglou's full of diners directly led to the fact that there was no business to do in the alum building opposite. After several days in a row, Bai Alum Lou poured out a large amount of food, and on the third day, Ma Fucai finally couldn't hold it anymore and went to Bai Alum Tower to check the situation in person.
After he saw Li Ce's figure in Fenglou, he suddenly understood the key to the matter, this kid again! He suffered a big loss at the hands of Li Ce last time, although he hated to eat him alive, but now he doesn't dare to take the initiative to trouble him again, this kid is a bad star!
Fenglou's business is booming, and now if you want to go to Fenglou for a meal, you have to wait in line, Li Ce no longer stays when he sees this, how can he say that he is also a commander now, and he can't leave the camp for too long.
Yu Xian'er heard that he was going back to the camp again, and she was a little reluctant, she gave him the silver and asked him to use it, Li Ce didn't want to live or die, he felt awkward about taking the woman's money. Yu Xian'er remembered that he had complained that the food in the barracks was too poor, so he hurriedly sent someone to pack a lot of meat for him to bring, and specially prepared two jars of good wine.
When Chen Er led him to a horse, Li Ce's eyes straightened directly, which is this horse? It's clearly a camel, good guy, there are two big bags full of food on the horseback, and there is a net pocket hanging on the back buttocks, which contains two jars of good wine, so Yu Xian'er is still too little, Li Ce smiled bitterly: "Where is there still a place to sit, you are letting me lead the horse and walk back......"
Yu Xian'er specially told him to come back every once in a while to get some food, otherwise she would send him to the barracks, Li Ce had no choice but to agree, this little girl was getting more and more clingy.
A man and a horse are so bloated that they walk on the road, which attracts the attention of pedestrians. Yu Xian'er leaned outside the door and looked at Li Ce's distant back, her eyes drifting farther and farther with him...... This person is really, he didn't expect to be able to cook, he used to only read the books of sages, and he couldn't approach the kitchen at all, but he didn't expect a serious illness, it seemed to suddenly open his mind, and he was much more well-informed, and he was also ...... to himself Thinking of this, her cheeks flushed, her head lowered, and when she looked up again, there was no trace of his back, and she inadvertently showed a trace of loneliness in her eyes.
Li Ce rode a "camel" back to the camp with a swagger, and the soldiers guarding the gate saw him humming a little song, and the horses were still full of large bags and small bags, looking like a rich man, and it seemed that he didn't know where to rob him......
The two looked envious, "Alas, it's good to be an official...... Even robbery can be so swaggering. One person sighed.
"You don't know yet, do you? He is Li Ce, Commander Li, but he is very angry, and he dares to argue with Xu Du! It's a ball. The other said disdainfully.
Li Ce had just walked out a short distance, and when he heard the conversation between the two, he choked on a mouthful of spittle, and almost fell off his horse.
Li Ce has never been a person who eats alone, this time he brought back so many things, left some for Guan Zhen, and distributed them to the brothers below, and then brought the two stalls of good wine to Guan Yiqi.
Guan Yiqi likes fine wine, and it stands to reason that his monthly salary is enough to cover his daily expenses, but the fact is that he is quite embarrassed, and even if he is drunk, he can't afford to drink good wine, because he took out most of the money and distributed it to the families of the fallen soldiers, so he has no money to buy fine wine, so he can only occasionally drink a meal of inferior rice wine when he can't help but be addicted to alcohol.
Li Ce smelled the tempting aroma of wine emanating from these two jars of agarwood daughter red, while thinking about the appearance of the waiting official's index finger, and he didn't know what the master's serious face would be like when he saw these two jars of fine wine, haha.
When he arrived at Guan Yiqi's residence, Li Ce walked into the door without knocking on the door. "Master? Master? Li Ce shouted loudly, he hadn't seen the old man for a long time, and he missed him.
The room was empty, there was no one, Li Ce Daqi, the old official has never liked to socialize, where will he go if this time is not training time? Just thinking that he lowered his head and walked out, he almost bumped into a person head-on, causing Li Ce to almost not hold the wine jar in his hand, and the person who came was in a hurry, he looked up suddenly, and Li Ce found that it was Guan Zhen.
Guan Zhen had an anxious expression on his face, and when he saw Li Ce, he was overjoyed, and he hurriedly pulled Li Ce and said, "Senior brother, you're back, where have you been in the past two days?" ”
Seeing that he was in a hurry, Li Ce was a little confused and said, "I went to Xian'er, I haven't seen you care so much about your senior brother on weekdays." ”
Guan Zhen stomped his feet and said hurriedly: "My father-in-law hasn't come back for a day and a night!" ”
Li Ce chuckled in his heart and said busily, "What do you mean?" Where did Master go? ”
Guan Zhenhuo hurriedly said: "He Ruinian deliberately made things difficult for his father-in-law and asked him to investigate the enemy's situation, it's been a day and a night, and he hasn't come back yet!" ”
Li Ce put down the wine jar and frowned: "Do you need to command the envoy to go in person to find out the enemy's situation?" ”
Guan Zhen scolded: "It's not what's wrong, the surname He is clearly a personal vendetta in the communiqué!" If you want me to say that my father-in-law is too easy to bully, wouldn't it be okay to refuse directly, can I go in person, just send one and a few people to go? ”
Li Ce sighed and said: "He Ruinian wants to make things difficult for his father-in-law, everything is just an excuse, even if he can hide this time, there will be a next time, the old official understands this truth." However, according to his ability, it is estimated that the Liao people will not be able to keep him, and the reason why he did not return overnight is probably because he encountered some tricky things, and I believe that he will deal with it soon and will come back soon. Li Ce saw that Guan Zhen was so anxious, although he was also anxious, he faintly felt that something was wrong, it could be seen that Guan Zhen was already in a hurry, so he had to comfort him.
"There is another thing, the father-in-law is not here, the surname He wants Xu Shan to temporarily manage his subordinates instead of the father-in-law, and the surname Xu actually deducted the military salary of our brothers, and now all the brothers are making trouble outside!" Guan Zhen said again.
"What? Is there such a thing? Li Ce was furious, he was so deceitful! The only people who are soldiers are these few salaries, which are the silver that is exchanged for their lives, and the whole family points to that amount of food and pay to live, and they don't pay it all at once, isn't this asking for their lives!
"Let's go, find him!" Li Ce was furious, and turned around to go to find Xu Shan.
Guan Zhen pulled him and said, "Why didn't you look for it?" Several commanders had already gone looking for him, but the grandson didn't know where he was hiding, and he couldn't find anyone at all! ”
"Hmph, this is deliberately hiding." Li Ce snorted coldly, this surnamed Xu is so ruthless and bold, he dares to do things like deducting food and salary, and it is at the border where war may occur at any time, in case the soldiers mutiny, no one can afford the consequences.
"If you are not in the army, you must be somewhere else, you go and call a few brothers, and come with me to meet the surnamed Xu for a while." Li Ce snorted coldly.
"Senior brother, do you know where he is?" Guan Zhenqi said.
"Hmph, you see that he looks like a wine-colored hollowed out kidney all day long, just think about it, it's right to go to the Qinglou." Li Ce said disdainfully.
"Okay, I'll go." Guan Zhen was overjoyed, he had always believed in Li Ce, since the senior brother said that he was there, he must be there.
There should not be many people in this kind of thing, so Li Ce took Guan Zhen and five or six brothers and set off.
There are three famous green buildings in Zhending Mansion, which are Drunken Wind Building, Baihua Building, and Chunfeng Pavilion. Among them, the drunken wind building is the most famous, this drunken wind building is on Yongan Street, Li Ce and others started to investigate from the drunken wind building.
Several people are in civilian clothes, as soon as they enter the door of the drunken wind building, they are greeted warmly, Li Ce remembers that this ** surname is Yang, she is already in her forties, in order to cover up her wrinkles, she put on a very thick makeup on her face, so that she doesn't dare to laugh openly, because then the powder on her face will fall down.
"Oops~ a few guest officers can like the girl." **Zi pounced and drilled into Li Ce's arms, Li Ce hurriedly pressed her, and said urgently: "We are here to inquire about people." ”
**When Zi heard this, her face changed instantly, she stopped her figure suddenly, and said with a straight face: "Hmph, ask someone what are you doing in Zuifeng Building, there are so many people on the street, you just ask." Li Ce sighed that she was really a good acting artist, and her expression could switch so quickly and neatly in an instant! This is definitely a powerful actor in the future.
Suddenly, **Zi turned his head again, squinted at Li Ce for a while, and suddenly realized: "It's you, why are you here again?" I said that today is the day of the Oiran's choice of relatives, why do you want to eat swan meat again, you toad? Do you think Oiran will choose you? She stretched out her hand and pointed at Li Ce and scolded, and the spit stars were about to be sprayed on Li Ce's face.
Guan Zhen looked at this scene in surprise, why did the senior brother often visit the kiln before, and he didn't pay for it when he saw this situation......
