The lights were bright in front of the Guogong Mansion, and several family members stood at the door looking forward to it, and when they saw Liu Ziguang coming from afar, someone immediately ran in to say goodbye, and when his horse arrived at the door, Peng Jingrong had already gone out to greet him: "Why did you come back so late." There has been a lot of chaos in the capital recently, and the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division have been searching for a long time by the Qinhuai River, arresting people everywhere with pictures and figures, and listening to the next person, one of them is very similar to you on the graphics. Also, Grandpa Guo has found a group of people waiting for you to drink, and he has been here for a while. ”

Liu Ziguang smiled, and said in his heart that it was me, and I became a Jiangyang thief on the first day I arrived in the capital, which is not good, I have to be low-key, and then low-key. Otherwise, if the case is found out, it will be wanted nationwide, and the gains outweigh the losses. said in his mouth: "Miss Lao is worried, I mainly delayed time in the military department today, and then I had a few more drinks with my friends, so it's late, don't blame, let's go in and talk about it in detail." ”

The hall was already full of guests, all of whom were friends in the army invited by Grandpa Guo, with a table full of sumptuous dishes and wine, waiting for Liu Ziguang to come back to perform excellent martial arts for them, and to tell the story of the great battle under the city of Liguo.

Peng Jingrong naturally couldn't follow suit, and told Liu Ziguang to drink less wine and go to the side hall.

While making amends to everyone, Liu Ziguang sat down with a golden knife, picked up the wine bowl and said: "I've been waiting for you for a long time, I will punish myself with three glasses." Then he drank three bowls of wine in a row.

Everyone laughed heartily, the people present today are some martial artists, not so much exquisite, there are Jingjun Longxiang, Feixiong, Weiwu, Jinwu, Yingyang, Xiaoqi, Shenwu, Fujun, Tiance, Zhenwu, Xuanwu, Yulin Guard's middle and lower-level officers, the grandfather of the country called his friends not according to the official title, according to the level of martial arts, the character of life. Therefore, there are commanders here, as well as thousands of households, hundreds of households, and even a few general flags. These people are all well-known people who are skilled in archers and horses in the Beijing army, and they gather in the palace of the prince on weekdays, not talking about state affairs, but only about swords and horses. Drinking wine is a must-have item, and I invited them here today to introduce Liu Ziguang to everyone.

"This is Liu Ziguang, the hero of the Qing army under the city of Liguo. Everyone should pay a few glasses to Liu Yingying, Xiao Liu is not drunk with a thousand cups, I was drunk by him yesterday, haha. Grandpa Guo sat next to Liu Ziguang and patted him on the shoulder affectionately and said.

So the generals shouted to toast Liu Ziguang wine, Liu Ziguang did not refuse to come, all cheers, wine is like character, immediately won the favor of these generals, plus he told the story of the battle of Liguo vividly, it caused a burst of admiration, taking advantage of the wine, several generals asked Liu Ziguang to open their eyes with one hand. "No problem." Liu Ziguang picked up an apple on the table, threw it into the air, quickly pulled out the white rainbow knife and danced dazzlingly in the air, and then returned the knife into the sheath, and a peeled apple fell to the plate first, and then a long strip of apple peel swayed and fell on the table. The skin of an apple is as thin as a cicada's wing, and it is not interrupted, even if you hold it in your hand and cut it with a knife, you may not be able to cut it so coherently and so thinly.

What a superb knife technique! A vote of martial artists has never seen such a wonderful performance, they only know slashing and slashing, at most they can see the secret swordsmanship and knife technique of martial arts people.

"Obediently, if this is a human head, can't all the skin of the face be shaved off?" A thousand households shrunk their necks and inhaled cold air and said.

"How big is the head, see clearly that this is an apple, General Liu's means of controlling the knife are really first-class, it is simply a combination of human and knife!" Another said.

Grandpa Guo was very happy, "How about it, believe it, who said that he didn't believe it when Xiao Liu didn't arrive just now, hurry up and punish yourself with three glasses of wine." Liu Ziguang is a guest of the Guogong Mansion and his friend, and this time he has earned a lot of face.

Liu Ziguang was very fond of such a showy occasion, and proudly drank a few glasses of other people's toasts, saying that he wanted to show his hand again, he plucked a hair and said: "Who is willing to put this hair on his nose and let me cut off my hair with a knife." Rest assured, you won't be able to hurt anyone. ”

There was an uproar, in fact, everyone watched the performance just now, and they already have a deep understanding of Liu Ziguang's knife skills, but this kind of thing is too hanging, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, if General Liu drinks too much and misses a little, then it is not a matter of losing a nose, I am afraid that the head will have to be opened. So it's a psychological quality to play.

For a while, no one was stunned, Liu Ziguang smiled and said, "Do you believe that I have this ability or don't have the guts?" Otherwise, it's okay to have someone go to the kitchen and get a piece of tofu, I can cut off my hair without hurting the tofu. As soon as the words fell, a tall man stood up and said, "It's not exciting to look at it with tofu!" Someone dares to make this knife holder! The man who spoke was in his thirties, about two meters tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and was extremely powerful.

"In Xia Jinyiwei Dahan General Qianhu Bai Wenyuan, first salute General Liu, and you can be more stable later, if you hurt a certain nose, it is not good to go to the palace to guard Your Majesty." The big man really has a kind, and he deserves to be the emperor's pro-army. The function of Jinyiwei is: "to take charge of the guards, patrol and arrest", a number, basically dividing Jinyiwei into two completely different departments. The spies in the general impression are responsible for arrests, and the brocade guards who are in charge of the guards, display the honor guards and accompany the emperor on patrol are basically no different from the traditional Praetorian Guards, among which the more famous is the "Han General". Although these people are called "generals", they are actually only responsible for standing in the palace, delivering the emperor's orders, and doing security work, to put it bluntly, they are piles in the palace hall. Of course, these "piles" are not idle people, they are generally tall and big, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and they are full of neutrality, with a loud voice, and they are quite majestic in appearance. The Han general formed his own battalion in the Jinyi Guard, with about 1,500 people, and Bai Wenyuan was in charge of managing the big men who were holding the golden gourd axe in front of the Jinluan Palace.

Bai Wenyuan sat on the chair, his face raised slightly, a military general carefully put his long hair on his nose, Liu Ziguang drew a knife in his hand, and slashed a few times in the air, creating a little tension first, in fact, it is easier to cut on the nose must be on the tofu to cut the technique, after all, the nose is harder than tofu, but it is not easy to cut people's noses psychologically.

The white rainbow knife in Liu Ziguang's hand is extremely sharp, similar to the Geely blade, which can be broken and can be used to shave. A knife down, even if you don't touch people, the knife can hurt people, after playing with the white rainbow knife for a day, I am already more familiar with this knife, and playing this little trick is purely to cheer up the banquet.

"Look at the knife!" With a loud shout, the long knife slashed at the face, Bai Wenyuan took the knife with his eyes open, the wind was blowing, the nose was itchy, the blade was really cut, stopped an inch away from Bai Qianhu's nose, and used the knife qi to cut off his hair. Didn't hurt the nose in the slightest.

"Good!" Grandpa Guo took the lead in applauding, and then there was applause, and everyone admired Liu Ziguang's knife skills and Bai Wenyuan's courage. It takes courage to slash someone with a knife, but it takes even more courage to leave one's life in the hands of others. This Bai Wenyuan is definitely a fierce man with super big nerves.

"Bai Qianhu's courage is extraordinary, Liu admires it!" Liu Ziguang took a bowl of wine and sincerely saluted Bai Wenyuan. Bai Wenyuan took the wine bowl and drank it all. "General Liu's knife skills are superb, and he is really admired in the next, and he is bold and bold in the bottom, and often sleeps on the grave, and he is known as a bold man, stupid and big, a little bold, and not enough to worry about."

"What kind of general is a thousand households, they are all brothers when they come to me, and you will talk about the official rank when you go out of the mansion." Grandpa Guo is here to meet friends with martial arts, and he doesn't like people to talk about seniority, and talk about official titles over seniority.

Everyone shouted well, and they all changed their names, Lao Bai, Xiao Liu, this brother and that brother. Bai Wenyuan's amount of wine is very good, it is a bit unfathomable, and he drank eighteen bowls with Liu Ziguang in a row. I don't feel drunk at all, he's a good Bai Wenyuan, he's as drunk as he is guts, he's a character! Heroes cherish heroes, the two of them hate to see each other late, drink and talk happily, and they almost worship their brothers on the spot.

This time I drank Sichuan wine Jiannanchun, which is said to be the tribute wine of the Tang Dynasty, the degree is not low, the entrance is sweet, and the table is full of chicken, duck and fish and other appetizers, and everyone has drunk a lot of wine unconsciously. The man with a light amount of wine had already slipped under the table.

It wasn't until midnight that the banquet ended. The generals' personal soldiers came in and helped their superiors out, got on the horses and returned to their homes, and the junior military attachés who did not have personal soldiers went directly back to the barracks, and those who were drunk slept directly in the guest rooms. Grandpa Guo drank straight and burped, patted Liu Ziguang's shoulder and said, "Happy today, Xiao Liu, you really give me a long face." These guys are all by you, haha. ”

Finally sent these drunkards away, it was already the second watch, Liu Ziguang originally wanted to find the eldest lady to report on today's debt collection in the military department, and when he walked to the door of the inner courtyard, he remembered that it was too late, and I was afraid that the ladies were asleep, so he decided to wait until tomorrow, and when he was tiptoeing to leave, he heard someone talking behind him.

"It's you, right? Why do you drink so late? It turned out that Peng Jingrong hadn't slept and was waiting for him. The title between the two is very strange, at first Peng Jingrong called him Manager Liu, and after experiencing so many things, he still called him Vice General Liu, Premier Liu or something, and when no one was around, he directly called "you". This word is not simple, and it is often a universal title between close people when they want to close the distance and are embarrassed. And Liu Ziguang still called Peng Jingrong the eldest lady. This is the habit and the only appropriate name, you can't always call "Jing Rong", "Rong'er", and now their relationship is still separated by several layers of window paper.

"Well, it's me, Miss" Liu Ziguang turned back. "Grandpa Guo is a hospitable person, and he won't break up if he doesn't drink to his heart's content, so the eldest lady has been waiting for a long time."

"Oh, come in, I've made a sobering soup, it's still hot." The little girl is really considerate. Liu Ziguang's heart is warm, the night is gentle, the beauty is picturesque, walking in the courtyard with the shadows of the trees, there seems to be a tide surging in his heart, this is the feeling of love.

Although Liu Ziguang was not drunk at all, he still drank the sobering soup prepared by Peng Jingrong, this is a piece of the girl's heart, he talked in detail about today's debt collection in the Ministry of War, of course, the part of the ransacking of Lord Zheng's other business was omitted. The fruitless ending was not expected by the eldest lady, but Lord Zheng's attitude was very troublesome, and it seemed that he would not even give face to Grandpa Guo. There is no good way for the time being, so I can only entrust other relationships to see if Shangshu and Shilang can help.

The debt collection matter is over, and then talk about the matter of being wanted by the Five Cities Terracotta Division today. "Don't hide it, I know that person must be you, the third shopkeeper has already told me, the Gone with the Wind he gave you yesterday, wearing red arrow sleeves, and such high martial arts, if it's not you Liu Ziguang, which one else can there be?" Peng Jingrong is very wise, and after a little thought, she knows that this big case was committed by their family's Vice General Liu.

Liu Ziguang smiled and acquiesced. Peng Jingrong sighed and said: "You don't show up from tomorrow, don't ask about debt collection, wait until tomorrow to take a boat back to Liguo to avoid the limelight, the backstage of Gone with the Wind is very hard, and our Liguo Iron Factory can only be regarded as a small role in the capital." It's better to go. ”

After the discussion, Liu Ziguang respectfully said goodbye, he still had to go back to the Lian Feng to rest, saying that he slept with his brothers and was practical, in fact, there were still so many gold and silver treasures waiting to be checked and counted. And tomorrow I have to wait for Zhu Tianxia's visit.

When he was about to go out, Liu Ziguang suddenly asked, "Do you remember the flying man we saved that day?" I met him again, it is said that his name is Zhu Tianxia, is there such a person in the capital? ”

Peng Jingrong thought for a long time and shook her head: "The people surnamed Zhu in the capital are all relatives of the emperor, and it is impossible for anyone to call the world, without this generation, it may be a pseudonym." I'll ask Miss Xu tomorrow. ”

Good boy, dare to lie to me with a pseudonym, and tomorrow I have to ask you in person, Liu Ziguang thought secretly.
