At this time, Lao Zhang walked out of the hall, watched the team of soldiers and horses move majestically, out of the stone slab outside in an orderly manner, and finally disappeared outside the gate, looking indifferent and proud. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lao Zhang said: "Huo Zongqi will give you a justice, now you are comfortable, these days you have been wronged, this son is now deeply touched, there will be no such thing in the future, this son can assure you." ”

Lao Zhang has done this, what else can Mars say, only thanks, but no gratitude, Huoyue and Donghai people are people of different faiths and factions, only cooperation of interests, no sincere sincerity.

When it was time to eat at noon, Lao Zhang did not mention the matter of military training, and still did not accompany Mars to eat, but went to the inner courtyard, and a housekeeper came to the inner courtyard and whispered a few words, and Lao Zhang hurriedly confessed and left.

It seems that the distinguished guest in the inner courtyard is extraordinary, which makes Lao Zhang's arrogant status drop suddenly, I think so, in the afternoon, Lao Zao came over and asked Mars what decision he made, whether he agreed to help train the army, but Lao Zhang has not yet talked about it.

I don't know if I really don't know, or if I pretend not to understand, it's hard to see the clue in my expression, but if I speculate from the side, Lao Zhang made such a big move, and he, the envoy of Donghai County, would not know the movement, but I was afraid that he was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

None of these Donghai counties are good people, they have their own calculations and interests in their hearts, I think if I know what they think, I can use them and get what I want, but unfortunately I don't have that special function, I can only take the next step depending on the situation.

Lao Zao proposed to take us to the famous restaurant in Donghai County to play, it is a good place, it is worth seeing, Mars seems to be in a much better mood, did not refuse, of course I would like to, but I didn't show it, people on the earth are hedonistic, and I am no exception.

……

Donghai Building, a restaurant that can be heard domineering from the name alone, its construction age is no longer known, maybe it is still a building during the Fire Moon Kingdom, and it is at least more than three hundred years old.

Although this building has been built for more than 300 years, it is not outdated, not old, but fashionable and magnificent, which makes people yearn for it, and it does not feel in vain.

As the most famous restaurant in Donghai County, the consumption in it is naturally the highest, the service is naturally the best, the delicacies of the mountains and seas, the wine and delicacies are all the best, this sentence is said by a prestigious person, as for which prestigious person said, few people know, but the reputation of Donghai Lou is worthy of the name spread.

When Lao Zao's carriage stopped at the gate of Donghai Building, there was a smiling and elegant person standing at the gate, and said respectfully: "You are a little slow to come today, I don't know what guests to entertain, introduce me, so that I, a profit-chasing businessman, can also get to know me." ”

The groom lifted the tent, put down the stool, and helped Lao Zao, who scolded: "Have you prepared your wine and food, not the best place on the top floor not to sit, not the most beautiful woman to pour wine and not drink, you know my rules, don't talk about those nonsense." ”

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, please." Guests are greeted with a gesture of please.

"They are my friends, the Mars General Banner stationed at the Far East Pass, who came to the royal capital and introduced them to you." Lao Zao said disdainfully, looking down on his friend's face, I don't know if he also has such a face.

"It's really fortunate to be able to know the Mars General Flag on the Far East Pass, or to come to the royal capital, and the ancestors accumulate virtue." The guests said humbly and respectfully.

"He is the owner of this Donghai County restaurant, Hongshi, and the Gaoxi people from Lixi County have the same surname, he said that it doesn't have much to do with it, and I don't know what the relationship is." Lao Zao joked that he had an indescribable friendship for Hongxi.

"Luckily." Mars also said politely, he doesn't hate Hongshi.

"Let's go upstairs." Hongshi also said after being polite.

There are five floors in Donghai Building, the decoration of each floor is different, quiet and chic, rich and precious, the furnishings are expensive oak and mahogany, the curtains are pulled down, and more compartments are made, although there are not many guests on the floor, but they are all noble and rich, and many guests are guarded by slaves at the door, these slaves carry swords.

The voice of the conversation is very slow and soft, therefore, a restaurant in Nuoda seems quiet and elegant, quiet and freewheeling, in addition to the maid who walks around the floor, in addition to the maid who delivers wine and food, rarely sees guests and idle people walking around, I looked at the maid here, the posture is good, obviously carefully selected, brush out, otherwise it will not be so neat.

The space on the top floor is relatively small, there are only four rooms, Lao Zao chose the private room facing the west, the layout inside is like the layout of the living room and bedroom of the rich and noble, with furniture, rocking chairs, and beds, the earth version of the presidential suite.

The maid pushed open the window, and suddenly, the scenery of Dalang Lake was put in, the blue waves were rippling, the green mountains were stacked with greenery, and the light fragrance of flowers sent in with the wind had a pleasant relaxation, I don't know what kind of flower fragrance.

By the window, I saw the cargo building ships lined up by the lake, and when I knew the grand occasion of the past, it was only now that the cargo building ships docked at the port, there was no voyage, and the prosperity of the past was lost, so I knew the impact of the **** of the White Turban Army.

"There isn't a boat on the lake today, and I want to take a boat trip." Lao Zao said excitedly.

"It's not easy, if you really want to travel by boat, my boat won't be available to you." Hongshi was not in a good mood, the last time his cargo ship passed through Qiyang County, it was sacked by the White Turban Army, and he didn't even send him back with people and ships and goods.

"Forget it, there's no need for that, this is on the cusp, I won't be in the limelight, lest someone gossip and complain." Lao Zao said indifferently.

"Whoever dares to gossip about you in Donghai County, he is not asking for his own hardship." Hong Shi complimented.

Lao Zao didn't answer this question head-on, he was thinking about what position he was in Donghai County, his position as an envoy was completely dependent on his brother-in-law Taishou, rather than climbing up step by step with his true ability to get Taishou's appreciation, however, he felt that although he relied on his relationship to sit in this position, his ability was still good, and he could go to the next level.

Many people don't take him seriously, like the county Sima Lao Xinde, the arrogant and domineering battalion leaders under him, and the county officials of Donghai County, maybe the lord Bo Laoye didn't value him either, but he was kind on the surface, otherwise he wouldn't have invited him to the banquet when he accepted the eighth concubine.

Lao Zao straightened his face and said: "In Donghai County, what am I Lao Zao, in the eyes of others, I relied on my sister to get to the top, not with real skills." ”

Hong Zhi said: "Over the years, under your governance, the county town has had any major murder cases, and what mistakes have been made, these are all your credits, and they are all the embodiment of your ability. ”

Lao Zao disagreed: "Some people think that as long as they sit in my position, they are equally capable and excellent, and they think that as long as the order is decided, the rent and tax of the shop are collected, and the dispute is handled, anyone can do it well." ”

Hongshi said: "They don't sit in that position, they don't know the bitterness of that position, they think they are omnipotent, omniscient, such people are incompetent and useless people." ”

Lao Zao smiled: "Hongshi, you can always enlighten me, I really didn't make you a friend in vain, coming to you just makes me feel comfortable, why haven't you seen your wine and food." ”

"You can't blame me, your slave came to order food on the front foot, and you arrived on the back foot, and now you just went upstairs, and the food is not ready yet." Hong Shi said with a smile.

"Just order the food, take the dragon blood red that you have treasured for fifty years and drink it first, today, I want to have a good drink with the Mars General Banner and the Fire Spirit Captain," said Lao Zao, who grabbed Hongshi and said, "Remember to ask your most beautiful and talkative maid Hongyan to come out to accompany the wine." ”

"She's ...... Yes. Hongshi's expression was stunned at first, and then returned to nature.
