Chapter 8: A Little Strangeness
All around are distinguished customers, and business is extremely hot.
Luo Shixin looked at the magnificent decorations around him, and this was the first time he came to visit the Grand View Garden...... When the Guogong Mansion where he lives now was not merged and repaired with the Princess Mansion in Pingyang, it was originally the mansion of Li Jiancheng, and it was formerly the princely mansion of the Sui Dynasty. The decorations of his princely mansion did not have this splendid phoenix, which was gorgeous and beautiful.
The only thing that really can't be compared to the palace is the palace......
You must know that Xiufeng Chihua is just a restaurant.
In Datang, there is only Zheng Fengchi, who has a lot of money and nowhere to spend, has such a generous wrist.
Under the guidance of the welcome steward, Luo Shixin came to the private room on the third floor.
"I'm sorry, there are more things in this criminal department than I imagined, I'm late!" Luo Shixin walked into the private room, and a very good smell rushed to his face, which made Luo Shixin, who had been dealing with the affairs of the criminal department and was slightly tired, feel a little comfortable in his body and mind.
It's ambergris!
Luo Shixin is in a high position, and he can be regarded as well-informed, he has smelled this kind of smell in Li Yuan's West Hall, and he was still curious about what it is, the faint fragrance can make people's hearts calm and eliminate fatigue.
Later, I asked Pingyang to find out that it was ambergris, and it was the saliva that the dragon shed when he was sleeping, which was very precious and rare.
Luo Shixin naturally knew that the so-called ambergris was nothing more than a secretion in the intestines of the sperm whale on the bottom of the sea. At this time, the navigation industry had not yet developed, and the only way to obtain ambergris was to wait for the rabbit. Fishermen wait for sperm whale secretions to float from the sea to the shallow shore before they have a chance to obtain them, which is about a few catties at a time.
This also shows how scarce ambergris production is. How expensive.
In this private room, it turned out to be ambergris, which really surprised Luo Shixin.
Look at everyone in the hall. Su Dingfang, Liu Renliang, Xue Yong, and Kratos greeted them one by one.
Liu Ren tracked: "The criminal part is high-powered, the things are busy, and it is related to the world's plans. The adults should be late, so what's the matter, it's just that the adults really broke the bank. "It was the first time he went to the capital of Chang'an, and for the scale of Chang'an, the prosperity of Chang'an was like going to another world. Today I came to this embroidered phoenix. I even felt that there was a feeling of being in the princely palace.
Everyone echoed together, and before Luo Shixin came, they were amazed at the luxury of this embroidered phoenix.
"Money is this thing. Life does not bring it, death does not bring it. As long as the cost is worth it and extravagant, what can it be? Luo Shixin knew that his money could not be compared with Zheng Fengchi, the richest man in the Tang Dynasty. is also a small tyrant. Even now, he doesn't do anything, he can live a luxurious life, and he doesn't have a great interest in money.
I was trying to get everyone to sit down, but I unexpectedly found that there seemed to be a lack of personal ...... His eyes swept over the crowd again: Su Dingfang, Liu Renliang, Xue Yong, Kratos......
"Where's Huzi?" Seeing that there was really one person missing, Luo Shixin couldn't help asking.
"Izuku, it's been a while." Xue Yong counted the time, frowned, and said, "Could it be that something happened?" "Among the generals, he and the clever Mo Hu'er are the most compatible and have a good relationship. Thinking that something might have happened, he said without hesitation: "I'll look for it." The general waited for a moment. ”
Luo Shixin bowed his head and said: "If there is really something, report it immediately, don't be reckless." ”
This Chang'an Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger, high-ranking officials and nobles, princes and princes can be described everywhere.
Luo Shixin's current identity is not afraid, but Mo Hu'er and Xue Yong are not. If he really offends some great character, he can protect the first year of junior high school, but he can't protect the fifteenth, which is a troublesome thing after all.
If there's something going on, just let him solve it.
Xue Yong nodded and walked out.
But after a while, Xue Yong came back with Mo Hu'er.
Looking at his happy appearance, I also knew that there was no accident.
Really!
As soon as Mo Hu'er walked into the room, she immediately came up to ask for guilt: "When I met Boss Wei when I was relieved, I sighed for a while, so I chatted with him a few more words." I made the adults wait......"
Luo Shixin waved his hand indifferently, let the two of them sit down, and ordered them to go down to serve wine and food.
Waiting for boredom, Luo Shixin found a topic at random and asked Mo Hu'er: "Which Wei boss?" I didn't know there was such a person who could make you the boss. He understands Mo Huer's temperament, he is the kind of person who is good to him and can remember it for a lifetime, and he also holds grudges against people who are bad to him for a lifetime. He can call the other party "boss", which shows that the other party treats him well, and there should be a story.
Mo Hu'er replied: "When I fled back from the Turks, I was in the troubled times of the Central Plains, and I was really desperate, so I joined the army and ate together. During the crusade against Wang Shichong, Wang Junkuo, the eighth lamb of Wang Junkuo, took our lives to fill in and consume the enemy's arrow feathers in order to take Luokou. I was lucky not to die in the arrow feather, but saved Boss Wei's life. Boss Wei's name is Wei Yunguang, and he is the chief of the guard under Wang Junkuo, so he promoted me to be Wang Junkuo's personal guard. Wang Junkuo is selfish and selfish, not a thing. Boss Wei is very good to me, and my martial arts are all passed down by him. Later, when he was guarding the water, his knee was shot by a flying stray arrow. Wang Junkuo was afraid that I would drag him back, so he left me in the city of water. It is also thanks to this that I was able to meet the adults and become a subordinate of the adults. I just met on the road, and we chatted a few words. That Wang Junkuo is really eyeless, Boss Wei is experienced, he has sold his life for Wang Junkuo for nearly ten years, and he is still his personal guard. I really don't feel worth it for him...... I also invited him to help me in the north, and I made him a lieutenant. It's just that he was loyal to Wang Junkuo and didn't agree. ”
Luo Shixin heard Mo Hu'er mention it, and also thought about the battle of the water back then, and remembered the villain Wang Junkuo.
At the beginning, Wang Junkuo was ordered to guard the water, and then the water was attacked by Liu Heimin, Li Shimin brought troops to reinforce three times, but because Liu Heimin's army stubbornly resisted and could not enter, he was worried that Wang Junkuo could not hold the water, so he asked Luo Shixin to replace Wang Junkuo to guard the city. Li Shimin's intention was that Wang Junkuo led the guards out of the city and Luo Shixin led the guards into the city, and the two formed an offensive and defensive exchange.
As a result, Wang Junkuo was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he transferred all the 1,500 soldiers allocated to him by Li Shimin, and Luo Shixin, who led him into the city, only had 200 personal guards and 200 soldiers.
It was because of Wang Junkuo that the historical Luo Shixin side fell into fighting against more than forty or fifty times the enemy with less than 400 troops, so he was exhausted and captured. It was also because of him that Luo Shixin almost peed his pants in fright when he came to this era, and became one of the saddest traversers.
"Wang Junkuo seems to be mixing well, I remember it's over there in Youzhou, right? That Boss Wei, as Wang Junkuo's cronie, what is he doing here? Luo Shixin suddenly noticed a little bit of a problem, Wang Junkuo's character is extremely poor, he is the kind of villain among villains, for his own interests, he can completely ignore others, even his relatives. At that time, he wanted to rebel, but his uncle did not agree, so he directly falsely accused his eldest sister-in-law of stealing people, forcing his brother to kill his wife, and had to fall into the grass and occupy the mountain as the king.
Wang Junkuo's character is extremely poor, but his ability is indeed outstanding. has made a lot of contributions to the Tang Dynasty, even if Luo Shixin despises Wang Junkuo's personality, he has to admit that Wang Junkuo still has some ability.
In his memory, Wang Junkuo was transferred to Youzhou.
Because of the first battle of the water, Wang Junkuo trapped Luo Shixin in a desperate situation, offended Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin, and several were at odds with each other. In order to avoid the deterioration of the contradictions, Li Shimin chose to promote Wang Junkuo and hand it over to Li Yuan, so as not to have internal problems.
At that time, it happened that Li Yuan's cousin Li Yuan, the king of Lujiang, was reappointed as the governor of Youzhou, and Li Yuan thought that he was not a general, so he transferred Wang Junkuo to Li Ying to assist him and sit in Youzhou.
This foreign minister is not allowed to return to Beijing without being summoned, which is an ancient precept.
Even when Luo Shixin was the governor of Gyeongju and Xiazhou, there was no possibility of returning to Beijing, let alone Wang Junkuo.
Mo Hu'er said: "I also thought it was strange at the time, and I also asked Boss Wei." Boss Wei said that he came to see a friend, so he probably didn't want to sue me. This person follows people, and the phoenix follows the phoenix, Boss Wei is really his friend, so he will not come to this embroidered phoenix. He doesn't tell the truth, and I can't ask in detail. But that Wang Junkuo really doesn't know what shit luck he has taken, he is obviously a villain, but he has prosperous official luck. Adults may not know that Wang Junkuo is now the first leader under the command of King Lujiang, and he is very valued by Li Jin, and in order to win over Wang Junkuo, he also married his daughter to him. I heard Boss Wei say that he is in Youzhou, calling for wind and rain, so he is not majestic. ”
Hearing the conversation between Luo Shixin and Mo Huer, others didn't think there was anything wrong.
Liu Renliang also heard something strange, and said in a low voice: "I know something about this Li Yin, he was very close to the former prince at the beginning, and he had a close relationship with the King of Qi. Now he is in Youzhou, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. The cronies of the generals under his command came to Beijing to meet with people, but it is not easy to say. ”
Luo Shixin tapped his finger on the table, pondering Liu Renliang's words, he also felt strange.
At that moment, there was a crisp knock on the door outside.
Then the door opened!
The maid in beautiful clothes, holding a plate of dishes, walked in with an outstanding demeanor.
The delicacies ordered were delivered to everyone, and the beautiful maid in the lead said, "General, do you need singing and dancing?" ”
"Stand down, I'll talk to the brethren and don't need to be disturbed by anything else." Luo Shixin waved his hand.
The beautiful maid smiled when she heard this, and then retreated.
"Forget it! Don't think about it...... A qiē is all nonsense, and there is no basis for it. Maybe Wei Yunguang wants to be arrogant in front of his friends. Luo Shixin poured himself a full glass of wine and said: "From tomorrow, the brothers will go their separate ways and futures." Although I am not willing to give up, I will not stop you from moving forward...... Let's have a good drink today, and we won't go home if we don't get drunk! (To be continued......)
