On this day, Shi Zhongjian had dinner, arranged everything in the Wuqing Marquis's mansion, played two games of chess with others, and won both games, his heart was happy, staggered, walked through the kitchen, and arrived in Xu Yong's house. At this time, Xu Yong was sitting alone drinking tea, and when he looked up and saw Steward Shi coming in, he didn't stand up, and said with a grin:

"I'm cooking three fresh and stewed yuan fish tonight, and I'm worried that I can't find anyone to eat. ”

Shi Zhongjian ate these two dishes last time, and when he heard him say this, he knew that he was making fun of it, and he laughed and said:

"I don't think you can eat it alone. In your big belly, I don't know how much delicacies you put in, I'm afraid that my lord ate three points, and you secretly ate seven points. Otherwise, why is the master's face still so thin and long, and your cheeks are puffing up? ”

Xu Yong said with a smile: "There is a saying that 'the legs of a bachelor, the mouth of a cook', no one can control it, and it is not just me who eats it myself, whoever is good to me, I will give it to whomever I eat." But then again, whoever has nothing to do with me will be blown away. ”

Shi Zhongjian hurriedly bowed to the end and said, "I'm good with Brother Xu, I don't dare to be angry with you anymore!"

The two talked and laughed and entered the kitchen, Xu Yong fried a few specialty dishes, Shi Zhongjian took it, returned to Xu Yong's room, opened a jar of old wine, and the two sat down and drank it.

Although Shi Zhongjian was greedy for a cup, he didn't have much to drink. After three cups of belly, his tongue was already big, he put a mouthful of food into his mouth, and drew with chopsticks: "'One trick is fresh, eat all over the world', this is true! You have been in the Hou Mansion for a year, and you also know that in the entire Hou Mansion, who am I looking at? Only to you, Brother Xu, implying great respect. I'm not only good at your craft, but also good at you! If you want to talk about power, what power do you have? I'm not afraid that you will be unhappy, a cook! But I'm such a weird temper, no matter how powerful you are, if you don't have the right mind and bad character, I won't bird you! Let's just talk about that Wu Sandao, let's not talk about the backyard, except for Hou Ye in the Hou Mansion, except for me, it has to be him. But what kind of good face do you see I gave him? Relying on the false slap of the horse and licking the ass, coaxing the Hou Ye into a mess, what is it!"

The grievances of the big men of the Hou Mansion, where did he Xu Yong dare to participate in it? He had to say: "I heard that his martial arts are excellent." ”

Shi Zhongjian said: "Half is true, half is blowing, and half is made, the whole is made up." ”

He was drunk, he spoke upside down, and he didn't know how many "halfs" there were.

Shi Zhongjian said: "Let's just say that he killed 58 soldiers and horses of Wara, and kept our marquis to kill the Tumu Fort, how can there be such a thing? This thing is deceitful to others, I am on the scene of this matter, I will not know?"

Xu Yong wondered: "The big guys all said that, isn't that the case, could it be that Hou Ye killed it alone?"

Shi Zhongjian raised his neck, drank all the wine in the cup, and said with a smile: "It's true that our Hou Ye is a general, but on the battlefield, there are Wara troops all over the mountains, if you really kill them one by one, I'm afraid that in the end, I can't even lift the knife, and I can't kill it." It is clear that our Hou Ye changed the clothes of the Tartars, wagged his tail all the way and begged for mercy, taking care of each other to escape from the Tumu Fort, how could we kill them and escape. ”

When Shi Zhongjian said this, he saw Xu Yong nodding and suddenly came to his senses.

In fact, what he said was of course in line with reality, and Xu Yong only sighed that it was not easy on the battlefield when he heard it.

But Shi Zhongjian drank too much wine after all, and he originally counted Wu Sandao, where did he think of belittling Hou Ye in the end?

As a child who grew up with Hou Ye, Shi Zhongjian didn't want his Hou Ye to have a little stigma, so he was shocked at this time, and a cold sweat immediately broke out on his head, and the wine was already half awake.

He pushed open the door and looked out, but there was no one in sight, he listened attentively, and there was no sound, so he returned to the room and said with a smile: "Your food is good, I can't help but drink a few more cups, full of nonsense, it's all clouds and mountains and fog, there is no edge, don't take it seriously." ”

Thinking about it, he didn't feel at ease, and said with a thousand instructions: "What I told you tonight, although it is a mouth full of horses and it doesn't matter, but after all, it involves our Hou Ye." Now our Hou Ye is valued by His Majesty, and Yu Qian and Yu Shangshu have so much trust, so you must not tell others, otherwise something will happen, Hugh will say that I am unlucky, and you will also be implicated. ”

In fact, there is no need for him to say it, Xu Yong did not dare to arrange the Marquis of Wuqing.

So he nodded again and again: "Don't worry, I'm not a learner, of course I won't say it to others." ”

Shi Zhongjian instructed for a while before giving up.

He knew that Xu Yong was loyal and honest, and he didn't expect him to go out and talk nonsense, so he was relieved.

Unexpectedly, the person who heard his words was not only Xu Yong, but also Shi Zhongjian's rival Wu Sandao.

Wu Sandao's real name is Wu Xi, and he is Shi Heng's henchman. "Three Blades" was his nickname, but Shi Zhongjian never called him by his name, only called him "Three Blades".

According to Shi Zhongjian's explanation: "He will also have those three knives, and the opponent who dies with three knives is not much, and he himself is finished!" So others called him three knives, Wu Xi was happy to hear it, Shi Zhongjian called him "three knives", and he couldn't say awkward in his heart.

In fact, Wu Xi's martial arts have a foundation, especially a knife, and he is a master of morality and mastery, and rarely encounters opponents.

Because it is a kung fu on the rivers and lakes, it is not very suitable for battlefield battles, so Shi Heng promoted him to be a general, although he came to Shi Heng's side later than Shi Zhongjian, but because of his courage and resourcefulness, he was deeply appreciated by Shi Heng, and this Wu Xi also managed Shi Heng's personal army very strictly, and he was also very capable.

When he first came, Wu Xi still respected Shi Da's housekeeper, and after a while, he saw that after Shi Zhongjian became a housekeeper, his kung fu retreated, and only his lip service was left, and his words always showed contempt.

And Shi Zhongjian saw that Wu Xi was reused by Shi Heng, and he was already a little unhappy, and after listening to some of Wu Xi's cold words, he became more and more angry, so he also picked up some faults with him and ridiculed each other, so the two of them became more and more resentful.

They competed for favor in front of Shi Heng, and from time to time they came to expose each other's malioration, Shi Heng naturally watched the two of them very well, but he didn't think so. Because in his opinion, the two of his subordinates can supervise each other in this way, which is also conducive to his control.

On this day, Wu Xi had a quarrel with Shi Zhongjian again, and he didn't see him at night, Wu Xi thought in his heart: "Shi Zhongjian's scoundrel, most of them went to Lao Xu to ask for a bargain, he and Lao Xu can still talk, I quarreled with me today and didn't have the upper hand, I am angry, I may be talking bad about me at this moment, I want to listen to what he says." ”

Thinking of this, Wu Sandao quietly sneaked to the kitchen, and saw that the light in Xu Yong's room was on, and someone inside was laughing, so he leaned closer to the window to listen, and just heard "Let's talk about that Wu Sandao". Wu Xixin said: "Good boy, I can figure you out." Hearing this, Wu Xi couldn't help but be stunned, and then his heart burst into flames: "Shi Zhongjian, Shi Zhongjian, you will hand over the knife handle to me, this fast knife, whenever I love to pick in the future, I will pick it whenever I want! At that time, I have no place to cry if I let you cry." ”

Although this Shi Zhongjian was alert and opened the window to see the movement outside, Wu San's sword body was fast and his kung fu was high, so he had already hid on the roof and held his breath, so Shi Zhongjian naturally couldn't see it.

This Wu Xi is also anxious, so he will wait for the next day to complain to Hou Ye.
