Chapter Twenty-Three: Trouble Begins Before the Banquet
After thinking about it, Ziren felt that now that he had just arrived in Liaodong, if he could get acquainted with the Li family, he would take care of him in the future, and he would definitely not be able to save Li Runan's face at this time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info so I had to go with my head, I wanted to go with you, but I was worried that he would get in the way, so I decided to go alone.
That night, Li Runan booked an upper room for a banquet in the best restaurant in Liaoyang City. Seeing that Li Ruliu was not there, Ziren was relieved to sit at the table, and in addition to himself and Zu Chengxun, there was also a young man and a middle-aged military general at the table. Seeing that the two of them were facing each other, Ziren talked with Li Runan and Zu Chengxun for a few words, and then walked towards the two with a wine glass. Said respectfully to the two: "Not long after the two adults arrived in Liaodong, Ding Shouming saw that the two were extraordinary, and they must be in important positions in the army. Redeem yourself for a cup of clumsiness, I don't know what the two adults say? With that, he drank the wine from the glass.
When Li Runan heard this, he immediately got up and said, "Brother Ziren, don't be polite, these two people are from my Li family." The younger one is my elder brother - Li Rugui, and the older one is my uncle's fierce general - Li Dequan. I was worried that my little sister would not go back with me, so I specially invited the two to come to help. ”
After listening to Li Runan's introduction, Ziren hurriedly saluted the two and said: "Disrespectful and disrespectful, the two adults are famous in Liaodong, and they are fortunate to see them today. ”
Seeing that Ziren was so polite, Li Rugui hurriedly greeted him with a smile. Li Dequan said disapprerovitically: "Rugui is one of the nine tigers of the Li family, no one in Liaodong knows it, and no one knows it." As for the old man who lives in seclusion on weekdays, where did you learn about it? It's okay to say it, if you can't say it, don't blame me for Lao Li not appreciating it! After that, he looked at Ziren with a serious face.
Li Runan and Zu Chengxun saw that Li Dequan intended to embarrass Ziren, and wanted to persuade him, but they didn't know how to speak for a while. Worried that the two would have a conflict, his face was quite ugly.
Only Ziren's face did not change at this time, and he said calmly: "Master Li is going to laugh." In the first battle of Liangzihe that year, the adults and Mengnu fought to the death and killed one enemy, won 73 good horses, and made the first contribution. Then he repeatedly probed the enemy situation for my Ming Dynasty outside the west of the river, so that my Liaodong Town could take precautions as soon as possible and make miraculous achievements. Li Pinghu and Li, who were both sentinels with adults back then, now think that they are the deputy commanders of Liaodong. Presumably, it must be an adult who is indifferent to fame and fortune, and concentrates on exploring the enemy's situation for me and is unwilling to show his face. It's just that others don't know adults, and people who practice martial arts have long been famous for adults. Today, I saw a moment of joy in my heart, and my words were abrupt, and I hope that adults will not be surprised. (Li Dequan's deeds are recorded in "Wanli Martial Arts Record")
Li Dequan followed Li Chengliang, and now he is only a thousand households, and the youngest of his contemporaries is also a guerrilla general. So I kept a bad breath in my heart, and mistook Ziren's greetings as deliberately underestimating them, so I refuted them. Ziren's words just now were speaking to his heart, and most of the evil qi in his heart had already dissipated. Li Dequan has been engaged in espionage work for many years, and he is by no means a dull person, and at this time he also feels that it is quite inappropriate to make a provocation just now. But the cruel words before were said, and they couldn't take it back, and they were in a dilemma for a while.
Zu Chengxun and Li Dequan's colleagues for many years, know their hearts well, seeing this situation, they hurriedly said: "You have to hear me say that Ziren knows a lot about the Liaozuo generals, this old boy doesn't believe it, so he wants to test the benevolence, don't be surprised." Come on, come on...... What are you doing, let's move the chopsticks quickly when the dishes are ready. ”
Seeing that someone came out to play the round, Li Runan and Rugui also came out together to persuade everyone to sit down. Ziren originally intended to make friends with everyone, and he didn't want to pursue it more, so he sat down with everyone to eat and drink. At the same time, he also toasted Li Dequan again and again, letting the other party know that he didn't take what he just happened to heart.
Li Dequan was praised by Ziren's previous words, and the hostility in his heart was greatly dissipated, and he felt that Ziren was a good person and was ready to make friends with him. Taking this opportunity, the two of them started talking at the wine table, both of them were bold people, and they came and went like friends.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Li Runan put down his wine glass and said, "Brother Zirenxian, I heard that you are joining the army this time." It was recommended by the Wei Mansion in Jiangnan, and I think Your Excellency must have a good friendship with the Lord Guogong. You and I are just the right family, I don't know what the virtuous brother thinks of my little sister like a willow. If the virtuous brother wishes, I will make this for my sister, and when my father returns, I will let you marry. ”
Ziren was originally drunk, but after hearing this, he was immediately enlightened. secretly shouted and scolded in his heart: "Okay, you Li Runan, it's a fake to invite me to the banquet today." It turned out that he wanted to marry Li Ruliu, a little girl, to me. This is clearly deceiving me when I first arrived in Liaodong, and I don't know the reputation of your good sister. Fortunately, I didn't get drunk, otherwise it would have been too late to regret it. ”
After thinking for a while, Ziren said drunkenly: "Runan~ brother, Lingmei's ~ is like a flower like jade, and looks like a ~ fairy." In the next ~ when I first arrived in Liaodong, I didn't stand up to the inch ~ and didn't dare to ~ climb high. And Ling Mei ~ is ~ a person in temperament, and she behaves and behaves ~ quite her own ~ ideas, I think ~ at this time ~ need to take a long-term view. As soon as he finished speaking, he pretended to be drunk and collapsed on the table.
Seeing this situation, Li Runan had already seen that Ziren was pretending to be drunk. I thought about my sister's deeds and was known by Ziren, so I excused myself from getting drunk. Although Ziren didn't say it to death, he didn't want to think about it in his heart. I was worried that my little sister wouldn't be able to get married, and I was distressed. At this time, I only heard a loud "bang", and hurriedly turned around to check.
Seeing a young woman, she kicked open the door of the room with her foot and rushed in with her sword. The person who came was none other than the famous tigress in Liaodong, her own little sister Li Ruliu.
Li Ruliu heard that his brother was holding a banquet in the restaurant to entertain Ziren and Zu Chengxun. In the past few days, I have been bored, so I secretly followed with my maid and hid in the next room to eavesdrop on everyone's conversation. Li Runan's subordinates had already discovered Ruliu, but they were afraid of their young lady's temper and felt that the matter was not a big deal, so they didn't dare to enter the house to report it.
But who would have thought that Li Ruliu heard that his brother was going to marry him to Ziren, and he was immediately angry. He rushed straight from the next room and kicked the door open. Li Runan's family was unprepared, and he held a sword in his hand, so he didn't dare to step forward to stop it.
Li Runan and Li Rugui knew their little sister's temper and were worried that she would be unfavorable to Ziren, so they immediately got up and prepared to step forward. Zu Chengxun and Li Dequan were worried about setting themselves on fire, so they also stood up and stepped aside at this time, waiting to see a good show.
Ziren was pretending to be drunk, and when he heard the sound of kicking the door, he hurriedly got up to take precautions. I saw that the person who came was Li Ruliu, and he had a murder weapon in his hand. He came to the banquet without carrying a blade, and felt that the big thing was not good, so he hurriedly got up and took refuge.
Li Ruliu saw that Ziren wanted to escape, so he opened his mouth and scolded: "Okay, you prodigal son, you dare to worry about Miss Ben, see me take your dog's life today." With that, he rushed to Ziren.
In order to make friends with everyone, Ziren frequently got up to toast before. Although he was not drunk at this time, his footsteps were still a little slow, and he was caught up by Li Ruliu in a few steps. Li Runan and Li Rugui also failed to pull Li Ruliu back. At this time, Li Ruliu's sword edge, with less than a foot, was suddenly in danger.
