Chapter 52: The Heart of Strength
Bai Yusheng bowed down and left the palace.
He jumped out of the palace wall and was about to return to Dongcheng when he suddenly heard a cough, so he swept his eyes and found a person paralyzed under the wall. The man was dressed as a Confucian scholar, about forty years old, with a beardless face, and drunkenly holding a wine gourd and drinking.
Bai Yusheng recognized this person at a glance and couldn't help but be stunned.
This person is not another person, but he is the master of one of the four treasurers of the Imperial Tower.
It's not a good thing to encounter Shizi Ang outside the palace.
He was afraid that Shi Ziang would recognize him, so he quickly covered his face.
Then, I didn't plan to pay attention to it, and I wanted to run.
At this time, Shi Ziang stood up crookedly, grabbed his hand in an instant, and said drunk words in a southern tone.
"Who are you? Hey, you're still covering your face, oh I know who you are, you're a ghost from the palace, I won't take off your mask, I'm leaving, goodbye. Letting go of Bai Yusheng's hand, he stumbled into the forest outside the palace, and said as he walked: "It's a ghost Haha is a ghost, but it's a shrewd ghost, save people last night, and admonish tonight, it's not bad or bad, I don't care about you, so that the evil woman can rest assured." ”
Bai Yusheng listened to these wine words, which seemed unclear, but in fact there was a sound outside the words.
Last night, the four words of saving people clearly talked about Longmen Street's own fire extinguishing and saving people.
Tonight's four-word advice is about the dialogue between him and the Queen Mother in the Imperial Garden.
It seems that the invasion of Dongcheng has aroused the dissatisfaction of the Imperial Tower, otherwise how could Shi Ziang appear for no reason.
He thought that Shi Ziang had been following him all the way, and he must have tried to murder him, if he hadn't happened to follow him into the palace and find out his relationship with the Queen Mother, how could he have his life at this moment.
In fact, with Bai Yusheng's cultivation, few people in Taichang can kill him in seconds, and he can still escape if he can't beat him. It's just that even if Shi Ziang doesn't sneak attack him, Bai Yusheng wants to escape, and he is afraid that he will have to take off a layer of skin.
Thinking of this, Bai Yusheng's vest was cold and he gasped.
In a blink of an eye, I guessed that Shi Ziang did not make a move, I am afraid that there are two reasons.
First, he was afraid of the Queen Mother and left him alive, so as not to cause trouble for the Imperial Tower.
Second, Shi Ziang overheard his conversation with the Queen Mother and knew that he was admonishing Yin Li, so he temporarily changed his mind and did not make a move. However, although Shi Ziang took up the killing intention and stopped shooting, he appeared and nodded with wine, trying to warn Bai Yusheng that it was not easy to save his life, so he could do it himself.
At this moment, Bai Yusheng's heart was pounding, but there were a few hard bones.
Gnawing on the meat of Dongcheng was a powerful medicine for heartburn he gave himself.
If he wants to survive in the gap between the Queen Mother and the Imperial Tower, he has to protect himself.
He is not afraid of threats, if he admits because of Shi Ziang's warning, he is only afraid of dying faster.
In fact, this encounter inspired Bai Yusheng's sense of crisis and ambition.
Returning to Wuyi Lane in Dongcheng and sneaking back to his room, he didn't sleep, sitting at the table and thinking hard about how to do business.
He thought about it for a long time, but he had no clue, and it wasn't until dawn that a glimmer of inspiration appeared in his mind, so he summoned Tang Scar and said: "Old Scar, my Night Hades Hall opened a plaque in Dongcheng, and it should be a big banquet for guests, but the Fusheng Hall has just collapsed, so we shouldn't be too happy, so just don't be extravagant." By the way, Yin Li's kid also helped us indirectly, and you should thank them for inviting their boys over for a drink. ”
"Okay. Tang Scar laughed and went out.
......
In the past two days, soldiers from Taichang City have come and gone, and the situation is unstable.
Yin Li and the others stayed in the inn and did not go out easily.
Everyone is in a prosperous situation, and it is inevitable that there will be loneliness.
Tang Scar rushed to the Yuxianlin Inn, just to solve everyone's blandness.
More than ten people, including Yin Li, Dian Xingyue, Song Dazhong, Melina, Ban Boni, Ban Shuni, Gong Cao, and Ye Qing, were invited to Dongcheng. The big guy saw that the Night Hades Hall had a firm foothold in Wuyi Lane, and the people were strong and strong, and they were all envious.
Bai Yusheng had prepared the wine and food early and waited calmly.
Seeing Yin Li and others coming, he got up to greet him, led a table of wine and food in the lobby, and said: "The night before yesterday, Bai was overwhelmed, with one enemy, and at a critical time, he lost his great compassion to Xiao Shizi, so that Bai could retreat with his whole body. Everyone, please take a seat. ”
Yin Li didn't pay attention to it, he said politely casually, and then sat down.
Tang Scar clapped his hands and summoned two maidservants to pour wine for Yin Li and the others.
The jugs on the top of the two maidservants' hands were made of pure gold, and they were inlaid with five-colored gemstones, which were extremely eye-catching. Not only that, but the plates and chopsticks used in the mat are all made of gold, silver and jade. Regardless of whether the food and wine are good or bad, these utensils alone are worth tens of thousands of gold.
The big guy stared at these valuable utensils, holding a cup and chopsticks, and didn't dare to eat.
Melina has always been greedy, but at this time she can bear it, for fear of breaking the cups and chopsticks.
Like Melina, Ban Shuni is fat, has an amazing appetite, and is also reserved at the moment.
Neither of them dared to move, and the rest of the people were even more restrained, and they could only hope for food to quench their hunger.
"Master Baitang, you can casually set up a table of treasures, tell us how to put down the chopsticks, we can't afford to pay for it. Yin Li picked up the chopsticks, put them down again, shook his head and smiled bitterly. Although he grew up in the Marquis Mansion of Nanyang, it was the first time that he drank and ate with such precious utensils. In his opinion, this is a meal, it is simply a treasure.
Bai Yusheng shook his hand and said lightly: "Bai Mou has always used the cleanest utensils to entertain guests, these things seem to be precious, but they are actually vulgar, they are just clean, they can't be called treasures, you just eat and drink, it doesn't matter if it's broken, I don't care about this little gadget." ”
Melina's voice was loud, and she continued: "Is this still a gadget? ”
"Yes, my grandfather is not as rich as the white hall master, and you are also an uncrowned prince. ”
Song Dazhong also joked, although it was a joke and a smile, but he smiled bitterly in his heart.
Don't look at him as a descendant of the Song family on the surface, his status is much more noble than others.
In fact, he was no different from the other Song people at the table, they were all from poor backgrounds.
Hearing Bai Yusheng say that gold, silver and jade were vulgar, he could only smile bitterly.
He laughed at himself that the descendants of the Song family were even out of reach of vulgar utensils.
Even Song Dazhong laughed at himself, and the rest of the Song people were naturally shocked, no one had ever seen gold, silver and jade, but they had never eaten such an extravagant banquet, even if they didn't dare to think about it, it was Song Dazhong's sentence "Uncrowned princes" as soon as the words came out, and the rest of the people nodded their heads in response.
Bai Yusheng stopped and said with a smile: "The four words of the uncrowned princes can't be said nonsense, no matter how much money there is in this world, they can't buy a title." However, the imperial capital Taichang is prosperous and prosperous, as long as there is money, food, drink, housing and transportation will not be worse than the princes of various countries. Oh yes, my Night Hades Hall is newly stationed in Dongcheng, and there is a shortage of manpower, if you don't like it, you can come to help more, Bai will never treat you badly. ”
After saying this, his expression was certain, and he pretended to think of something.
So he tapped the table, and then said to Song Dazhong: "Brother Song, Bai has always liked to make friends with young talents, take advantage of today's happiness, I don't think it's better to be like this, you take your brothers to join my Night Hades Hall, I'll give you a deputy hall master to do, and in the future, this East City will be handed over to you to take care of, what do you think?"
