Master Li nodded, but soon seemed to think of something, and said happily: "It's also a shame that I was still worried just now, didn't you come back, Master Hou?" I don't think anyone else would dare to come to our restaurant to make trouble. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Zhao Gu smiled, comforted Master Li a few words, and then went to get busy again, it was really the business of the restaurant was too good, and many people asked him to cook, and during the time that Zhao Gu was chatting with him, Xiao Er had already come to urge him several times.

Zhao Gu can naturally understand this, who called Chef Li good at cooking!

Li Danran, Er Gouzi, and Hao Bai received a message from Xiao Er, although they were very busy, but thinking that the person who invited them was at the table set up in Baiwei Restaurant, the three of them noticed that the situation was different, and they still took the time to come.

The three of them met at the door of Baiwei Restaurant, and they couldn't help but be even more surprised when they saw the other two coming over, until the three of them saw Zhao Gu, the nervousness and puzzlement on their faces disappeared, and they turned to smile.

"Brother Zhao!" The three shouted in unison.

Zhao Gu beckoned: "Come, come and sit, I've already ordered the food, you can order anything if you want to eat." ”

Li was about to speak with a slightly gloomy expression, and Zhao Gu patted him on the shoulder: "If you have anything to say, I'll talk about it after eating." ”

Li nodded indifferently, Ergouzi and Hao Baibai didn't have so much thought, they sat down, shouted for Xiao Er to drink, and then began to ask when Zhao Gu came back, where he lived now, whether Zhao Yuandong and Zhao Yuanxi also came back, and so on.

For this kind of topic, Zhao Gu naturally has no end to say, the four brothers haven't been together for more than a year, and the topic is naturally endless, and the meal is directly eaten from morning to evening.

In the evening, it snowed, and the thin layer spread on the street, which was also somewhat beautiful.

Zhao Gu and the four of them hooked their shoulders and went out of the restaurant together, and returned to the Hou Mansion with their feet all the way, Mrs. Fan was taking Fan Zhongyan to play in the snow in the courtyard at this time, and when she saw the four drunkards coming back, she hurriedly went to boil the sobering soup.

After drinking the sobering soup, the four of them slowly sobered up, looked at each other and smiled, extremely happy.

That night, the two dogs and the three of them were kept by Zhao Gu to live in the Hou Mansion, and after dinner, the four of them gathered again in Zhao Gu's study after more than a year.

In the study, Zhao Gu took the tea handed by Hao Baibai, took a sip and said, "Let's talk about it, how has our industry been in the more than a year since I retired?" ”

Li Indifferently asked with a little surprise: "Big brother, do you know everything?" ”

Zhao Gu smiled, but his face was very gloomy: "Baiwei Restaurant is my industry, but several gangs in the rivers and lakes have the courage to come to make trouble, this is obviously not accidental, it seems that there is someone behind these people, right?" ”

Li nodded indifferently: "Yes, since half a year ago, these gangs have begun to fight the idea of our industry, among which the main ones are Baiwei Restaurant, Liu Ji Garment Shop, and Brother Dart, and I don't know how many stumbling blocks have been made to us openly and secretly." ”

"Yes, I have long wanted to go to their nest, but Li Danran has been blocking me from going, saying that the situation is unknown and it is not easy to be impulsive." The second dog followed.

Zhao Gu glanced at Li indifferently with appreciation: "Master Li said that you took the rock sugar pear away, they had thought of the idea of making rock sugar pear?" ”

"Yes, since they heard that Rock Sugar Sydney is your eldest brother's sister-in-law, they want to hijack them and blackmail us to sell Baiwei Restaurant, Liu Ji Garment Shop and Brother Dart Store to them at a low price, for the sake of safety, I specially arranged a house to house Rock Sugar Sydney, and found a few good hands in the dart shop to guard it day and night." Li replied indifferently.

Zhao Gu smiled coldly: "Dare to fight the idea of rock sugar pear? I'm afraid that the people behind these gangs are not ordinary officials? ”

"Big brother is sure they are officials?" Li Daran asked rhetorically.

"Apart from officials, who else dares to ignore the Zhuozhou County Marquis Mansion like this?" Zhao Gu asked.

Li Ran stopped talking, Ergouzi and Hao Bai were also gloomy, they thought that these things were just someone who saw that everyone's industry was too profitable and wanted to occupy the past, but they didn't expect that high-ranking officials in the court were also involved.

In other words, the purpose of these people may not be these industries at all, but simply want to deal with Zhao Gu.

Thinking of Zhao Guangyi's attitude towards Zhao Gu again, Li Danran and the three of them were a little discouraged for a while, Zhao Gu was not trusted by the emperor, what could he do to fight with those who dared to provoke him? I and others have been sticking to the industry for more than a year, but it turned out to be useless work.

Zhao Gu thought about it slightly, then guessed the thoughts of the three of them, and said with a smile: "The emperor has appointed me as the marshal of the Western Expedition, and the third Western Expedition will begin in the spring of next year." ”

Li Danran's faces were overjoyed, and he said almost at the same time: "The emperor is finally willing to reuse you." ”

Zhao Gu shook his head: "How can it be so easy?" Predictably, when I return from my expedition, things will become more and more unfavorable for me. ”

"Then why are you ......, big brother?" Li indifferently stopped talking.

"Why do you have to accept the Western Expedition? Hehe, in fact, I took the initiative to go west, if I don't build a lot of great credit, if Zhao Guangyi kills me one day, there will definitely be no one to help speak, now I am riding a tiger is difficult, only by constantly strengthening myself can he make him jealous of me, so as to truly protect me and all of you. Zhao Gu said.

Li Danran and the three of them were dumbfounded, they didn't expect Zhao Gu to call Zhao Guangyi's name directly, it can be seen that he already has a deep grudge against Zhao Guangyi, but the three of them have already regarded Zhao Gu as a good brother, let alone shouting the emperor's name, even if Zhao Gu wants to rebel now, they will continue to support it.

In fact, the reason why Zhao Gu said this was also because he wanted to test Li Danran and the three of them, and his future road would definitely be extremely dangerous, if the three of them were afraid, it would be too late to quit now.

Seeing that the three of them were determined and still supported Zhao Gu, Zhao Gu couldn't help but feel very comforted in his heart, and continued: "So, we should also make some preparations." Indifferently, from this day on, you have managed to secretly organize an intelligence organization, which will be responsible for collecting information for us in preparation for a rainy day. ”

Li nodded indifferently, saying that he would definitely do his best, and Ergouzi and Hao Bai asked excitedly, "What about us?" What do we do? ”

"What to do? Hehe, the tiger is not threatening, do they treat me as a sick cat? From tomorrow onwards, you will be responsible for taking revenge and raising the prestige of our Marquis Mansion. Zhao Gu continued to say coldly.

"How to get revenge?" The two asked.

"It's nothing, it's still a familiar formula, it's still a familiar taste, Lord Lu Mengzheng Lu already has a dislike for me, this time I'm not in Kaifeng, but the industry has almost been wiped out, it is estimated that there must be his shadow in it, you just need to release this rumor."
