Chapter 137: West City Drinking Friends

Chen Wen didn't care about the murderous aura on Chen Yu's face, and only asked, "The owner of the Dark Moon Mansion is also here?" ”

Chen Yu said in a low voice: "Hmm." ”

Chen Wen pursed his lips, patted Chen Yu's shoulder, and said: "I've been out for many days, and the second brother won't disturb your rest, since the killer is in place, then we have nothing to worry about, you have a good rest, the second brother is gone." ”

Chen Yu was really tired, he hurried back quickly, just to report the good news to his family, he barely slept in the middle, he was tired of two horses, and he didn't leave Chen Wen to chop, thinking that there would be more time in the future, and he had time to chat with his second brother.

Chen Yu sent Chen Wenqi away and went back to the house to continue sleeping.

Chen Wen returned to the evil spirit warding courtyard, and without entering the house, he stood in the courtyard, without taking off the big knife at his waist, and without taking off the guard's official robes, he just stood there, with his hands behind his back, looking in a certain direction of the sky, his brows furrowed.

The second dog saw Chen Wenqi staring at the sky in a daze, so he came over and shouted to him: "Young master, don't you sleep?" ”

Chen Wen said: "I don't sleep tonight." ”

The second dog sighed, touched his head, and said puzzledly: "The young master is going to stand in this courtyard all night?" ”

Chen Wenshu glanced back at him and said, "You can stand all night." ”

Ergouzi laughed, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that the young master was in a bad mood at this time, so he should hurry up, he said as he withdrew: "I'd better go to sleep, so as not to disturb the young master's quiet night thoughts." ”

After he finished speaking, he ran away in a puff of smoke.

Chen Wen pouted and called you two dogs, he really regarded himself as a dog, a thief who ran.

Chen Wenqi turned his head again, and continued to look in the direction where Nie's Mansion was, thinking about whether to squeeze a quilt with Nie Bei tonight.

Before I could think about the result, someone came to the palace.

This person did not come from another palace, but from the Yanxia Palace, and the person who came was none other than Hong Luan, who took Tuoba Mingyan's order and asked Chen Wen to go to the vigil tonight.

Chen Wenqi refused, and the reason was also very good, he only served during the day, not at night.

But Hongluan also said very reasonable, and there was no way to refute it, she said to Chen Wenqi: "No matter who Chen Guard, you used to be, how much merit you had, now that you are on an errand in Yanxia Palace, you have to abide by the rules of Yanxia Palace, Niang Niang was frightened last night, I must let you guard it tonight, Chen Guard is a bloodbathed figure in Kyushu, when you know that the master's order cannot be disobeyed, yes, maybe in the eyes of Chen Guard, my mother will not move you, and I am not qualified to call you, but you can be loyal to the master and solve problems for the master, It should be what you have always insisted on and adhered to, you can ignore Niangniang's words and not take Niangniang as the master, but you can't disobey such a loyalty, right? ”

Hearing this, Chen Wenqi pursed his lips coldly, he thought to himself, my loyalty is only given to one person.

As for your mother, where to stay cool.

Chen Wenqi didn't plan to give Tuoba Mingyan face, Chen Wencho also knew why Tuoba Mingyan wanted him to go into the palace to keep vigil, it was nothing more than afraid that it would be haunted again tonight, Tuoba Mingyan might feel that he was there, and the ghost wouldn't dare to come out, heh, she was so naΓ―ve, that ghost was not someone else, it was the Queen Mother! No matter how powerful he is, can he suppress the Queen Mother?

Of course, Chen Wenchu knew that the 'Queen Mother' was pretended by Ren Ji, and the ghost was also pretended by Ren Ji, and Ren Ji would also disturb Tuoba Mingyan again tonight, how many days would it last, Chen Wenqi didn't know, but at least, before Yin Xuan returned with the Queen Mother, this 'ghost' would continue to rage.

Chen Wenshu wants to go out, there is no need to avoid the people of the Chen Mansion, but now is a very sensitive period, the killer of the Dark Moon Tower has arrived, and the people of the Chen Mansion will definitely watch him closely, afraid that he will go out and do bad things.

If he goes out in the middle of the night for no reason, he will definitely make them suspicious, and then send a lot of people to follow, not that they suspect him of anything, but that killing Nie Bei is something they must do successfully, and they don't allow anyone to possibly destroy it, even if it's him.

Chen Wen lowered his eyes and responded: "The first time I found out that Miss Hongluan can also speak a few words, for the sake of seeing how many words you say, I will go to help your mother keep this night, but if there is really a 'ghost' again, don't expect me to catch the 'ghost', I don't have that much ability." ”

As soon as Hong Luan heard that he agreed, she breathed a sigh of relief, this person's temper was too weird, she was not sure when she came, she was afraid that she would not be able to persuade this person, and Niangniang began to be frightened and frightened as soon as she saw that it was dark, she must let her bring Chen Wenqi into the palace, if she can't bring this person into the palace, I'm afraid she herself won't have to enter the palace again.

Hong Luan slashed Chen Wen's blessing, but he was polite, and his previous horizontal eyebrows and cold eyes were all reined.

Chen Wen snorted, thinking that this person would really behave coyly.

However, what happened to her had nothing to do with him.

Chen Wen dusted off his sleeves, followed Hong Luan, and left the Chen Mansion under the attention of the Chen family, all the way to the palace.

Huatu went home, but he hadn't eaten yet, and Zhu Yinan also came back, as well as Wang Yunzhi and Wang Yunyao, as well as Xie Youhan, and Huandong and Huanxi.

Originally, Yuan Boxi, Huazhou and Xie Baocheng were not there, Huatu asked Yan Yi to accompany him to eat, the two of them just sat down, and before they moved their chopsticks, this large wave of people came back from the palace, and several people covered their faces, Huatu smiled first, pointed to the dishes on the table, and then pointed to them, and said with a smile: "I don't have your share." ”

Wang Yunzhi answered with a smile: "We have eaten in the palace." ”

Huatu sighed, heard Wang Yunzhi say that they had eaten, so he didn't care about them, and motioned to Yan Yi to take chopsticks and eat them themselves.

Before eating, Huatu swept them around a few more times and asked, "Why did you come back together?" Tomorrow is not an errand? ”

Wang Yunzhi said: "The forbidden army seems to have something to do for the time being, and they won't go to the martial arts training ground, so I'll stay in the palace and come back to live, so it's convenient to enter and exit." ”

Wang Yunyao said: "The county lord went to Daming Township, I am also idle, I am bored in the palace, I also come back to live for a few days, I have been living in the palace for so long, I have not visited the market in Huaicheng, the imperial capital, it is really inconvenient in the palace, it is better to be at home." ”

Huandong and Huanxi nodded in unison, indicating that they also thought the same, they also wanted to go to the market, they also felt that it was inconvenient to live in the palace, and now that the county lord is not here, and the emperor is not there, they are really fine in the palace.

Xie Youhan is specially guarding Nie Qingwan, Nie Qingwan is not there, and he, the commander of the Left Guard Army of the Royal Forest, is also abolished, he told Qi Yu to go home and stay for a few days, Qi Yu agreed, and he came back.

Seeing that they all had a reason, Hua Tu smiled and said 'I know' and left them alone, let them go wherever they wanted, and he ate quietly with Yan Yi.

After eating, Huatu washed and slept.

Yan Yi also went to sleep.

Wang Yunyao didn't sleep, Wang Yunyao went to the West Market with Li Donglou last time, but at that time she was in a hurry, and she couldn't go shopping, and tonight there was enough time, so Wang Yunyao swaggered, wearing an ordinary woman's thin long skirt, and walked on the downtown streets of the West Market.

Xian Bi was sent to the Criminal Department by Nie Bei today, and it was very late after asking, basically when it was time to eat, there were no female dependents in his house, and there were no maids, only Ding Geng's small house, if you want to clean the courtyard, Ding Geng will temporarily invite some people, basically twice a month, but in ordinary times, there are only two men in that Xian Mansion, and Ding Geng usually cooks, anyway, the two men are also very simple, no trouble, Ding Geng handles it easily, but most of the time they eat outside, or go to find Yu San, Eat with Yu San.

Because he was questioned by Nie Bei tonight, it was not too early to go back, so Xian Bi called Ding Geng and came to the West Market to eat Xiaozao together.

There are a lot of small stoves in the West Market, all of which are very ordinary local vegetable pots, there are two people in a pot, and there are three people in a pot, the dishes in the pot are ordered by themselves, but meat and vegetarian food, the staple food is rice and noodles, all by their own hobbies, occasionally come out to eat, Xian Bi will go around to the end of Yezi Alley to call Yu San, but not every day to call him, today Xian Bi did not shout, only brought Ding Geng, the two sat in the store of the small stove of the Lu family, eating the two pot stove.

The surroundings of the small stove of the Lu family are basically such small stove shops, it is the time to eat, there are a lot of people, Xian Bi and Ding Geng ordered food, and also ordered wine, and the two chatted while eating and drinking.

In the noisy restaurant, Xian Bi and Ding Geng did not talk about the affairs of the hospital, officialdom and the criminal department, but only talked about their parents and things inside and outside the street.

Ding Geng joked that the two brothers drank and ate meat outside every day was a good day, but it was better to have a woman to take care of the family.

Ding Geng asked Xian Bi to marry his daughter-in-law quickly, Xian Bi asked Ding Geng to marry his daughter-in-law quickly, Ding Geng said that he had no money, no power, no status, and no looks, how could a girl marry him, Xian Bi also said that he had nothing, Ding Geng teased him, saying that he was at least mixed in the Tai Hospital, and he was a handsome man, as long as he used a little snack, there must be a girl who stuck to the door.

Xian Bi glared at him, thinking, sticking to the door? How dare you think about it!

In these years, the bride price for marrying a daughter-in-law is also very important, he only has a little money every month, and the house can't even afford to raise a maid, let alone a daughter-in-law.

You make fun of me, I make fun of you, it's also fun.

Because of the drinking, the meal was eaten very slowly, and after eating, he sat down for a while, and then slowly walked through the lively crowd in the West Market and went to Wuhua Street.

Although Xian Bi drank alcohol, he didn't drink much.

Although Ding Geng drank alcohol, he didn't drink too much, and the two were still sober.

When he saw Wang Yunyao, Xian Bi was stunned for a moment, and Ding Geng was also stunned.

Ding Geng touched his head in confusion, and thought suspiciously to the moonlight: "How did I see that Wang Steward?" Shouldn't she be in the palace? ”

Xian Bi thought: "It's so late, why did Wang Yunyao come out?" ”

Washington lives at No. 20 Wuhua Street, Xian Mansion lives at No. 67 Wuhua Street, one is on North Street, one is on South Street, and it is not very easy to meet.

Wang Yunyao didn't expect to meet Xian Bi and Ding Geng at this time, the first time she went out shopping and met acquaintances, Wang Yunyao was still very happy, Wang Yunyao stepped forward to say hello.

When greeting, Wang Yunyao smelled the wine on Xian Bi's body and also smelled the wine on Ding Geng's body, Wang Yunyao raised her eyebrows, her eyes roamed around the two of them, and asked, "You two are drinking outside?" ”

Xian Bi corrected: "It's eating." ”

Wang Yunyao said: "Oh. ”

She leaned in close to Xian Bi and sniffed it, and said, "It's so big wine, how much have you drunk?" I didn't expect Mrs. Xian to drink well. ”

Ding Geng immediately interjected: "I drink better." ”

Wang Yunyao's eyes rolled: "I have a good amount of alcohol, why don't we go to the bar together?" ”

Xian Bi didn't go, he had to get up early tomorrow to go to the hospital, drinking this little wine had no effect on him, and if he drank too much, it would have an effect, he shook his head and said, "I have to go back to sleep, you have nothing to do tomorrow, I still have something to do, you can't get drunk, otherwise you won't be able to get up tomorrow." ”

Wang Yunyao thought about it, so she didn't care about him, looked at Ding Geng, and said, "Let's go to the bar?" It just so happens that I'm not familiar with Xishi, can you help me recognize the way? ”

Ding Geng was about to say yes, Xian Bi slapped him on the head and slapped him away, Xian Bi said to Wang Yunyao: "Don't you go shopping, right?" There are too many people in this West Market, and it's night, you are a girl, it's not safe, you want to go shopping tomorrow, I'll accompany you tomorrow, and then eat in the West Market at night, I'll treat you. ”

Wang Yunyao said entangledly: "But I want to go shopping today, I'm out." ”

Xian Bi looked up at the sky, it was almost three o'clock, and there were still several hours before Hai Shi, enough to accompany her for a while, Xian Bi rubbed his forehead, and said helplessly: "Then I will accompany you for a while, but don't drink." ”

Wang Yunyao smiled: "Okay, I'll drink again tomorrow." ”

Xian Bi nodded, such an old and gentle person, he actually did not refuse to drink, Ding Geng saw that the young master agreed, secretly laughed, and hurriedly followed behind the two of them, and went to the West Market again.

Li Donglou's circle of friends is very wide, don't look at him as an errand in the palace, but he is the errand of the forbidden army, and now he is in charge of the two parts of the forbidden army inside the palace and outside the palace, so at night, he called Xiao Zuo and Xia Ban to come out to drink together, of course, the main thing is to call him to drink, the most important thing is to have a good relationship.

Now that he is assisting Nie Bei in investigating the case, whether this case will be used in the future, Li Donglou doesn't know, and whether he can use it or not, it will not be wrong to have a relationship with the two forbidden army commanders outside the palace.

In the past, Xia Tugui and Chen Wenqi couldn't climb Li Donglou, but now he can climb these two in minutes.

Since the first day when the two of them became the commander of the forbidden army outside the palace, Li Donglou invited the two of them to have a drink in the Baoxi Restaurant in the West Market in the name of congratulations, which is the second time.

Cooking makes perfect, and this is no exception.

There is a private room in Bao Xi Restaurant, Li Donglou ordered a private room, and the three of them chatted about the current situation while drinking in the private room, of course, Li Donglou was the master of the forbidden palace inside and outside the palace named by Yin Xuan personally, and every time he came back, Xiao Zuo and Xia Ban first respected him, which is called respect.

Li Donglou was not polite every time, not to mention that now he can mobilize the forbidden army outside the palace, but he can't be transferred, his qualifications are older than these two, they should also respect him, so they will drink him when they salute him.

After drinking a circle of wine, he talked about Nie Bei's cha xiang, they were all sent by the emperor, and there was nothing that could not be said, and the forbidden army outside the womb was also helping to deal with this case, although because of Xia Tugui's relationship, Xia Ban had a slight complaint about Nie Bei, but Xia Ban was an extremely clear person, and he never mentioned Xia Tugui in front of Li Donglou.

Last time, Li Donglou had already found Dou Yanxi's transaction records in spices, and the account book was taken away by him, the day Yin Xuan left, Li Donglou greeted Xia Ban and Xiao Zuo, and asked the two of them to keep an eye on the incense shop and the people in Chen's mansion, the two of them are forbidden troops outside the palace, and it is too easy to keep an eye on a shop or a person.

At dinner tonight, Xia Ban and Xiao Zuo said to Li Donglou that Chen Jin went to the incense shop today.

When Li Donglou heard this, he chewed a mouthful of vinegar-soaked peanuts and said, "If there is no ghost in my heart, I won't go again, what are they going to do in the incense shop?" ”

Xiao Zuo said, "I want that account book." ”

Li Donglou sneered: "The shopkeeper told the truth? ”

Xia Ban said: "To tell the truth, but we didn't let him say it was you, only let him say that it was the forbidden army, and the forbidden army didn't let the shopkeeper say it." ”

Li Donglou took a sip of his wine glass and said, "I know that the account book has been taken away, and I don't know if they will make other moves, so you continue to stare at it." ”

The two of them answered yes, Li Donglou picked up the wine jug and added some wine to the cup, and after the glass was almost full, he picked it up and touched Xiao Zuo and Xia Ban, and after drinking, when he released the wine glass, his eyes looked out, and he saw Wang Yunyao at this glance.

Li Donglou's eyes instantly swelled with a hint of surprise, he took a peanut from the plate, and smashed it on Wang Yunyao's head, Wang Yunyao was in the market on the first floor, Li Donglou sat on the third floor of Baoxi Restaurant, the peanut was so big, he didn't use internal force to smash it at all, therefore, the smash was not light, Wang Yunyao touched the back of the head that hurt, grunted and turned his head to glance, this sweep saw Li Donglou sitting at the window on the third floor waving to her.

Wang Yunyao said secretly, it turned out that you were smashing me.

Wang Yunyao pulled Xian Bi's sleeve, Xian Bi stretched his head out of a shop that sold all kinds of women's veils, and was picking out a veil for Wang Yunyao, Li Donglou didn't see him, and when Wang Yunyao pulled Xian Bi's sleeve, Xian Bi took out his head, and Li Donglou found out that Wang Yunyao was shopping with Xian Bi.

The smile in Li Donglou's eyes froze, he slowly pursed his lips, and waved his hand at Wang Yunyao, meaning that if you shop yours, I will say hello to you.

Although Wang Yunyao was on the first floor, she could see that Li Donglou was drinking, Wang Yunyao asked Xian Bi: "Do you want to go up and drink?" ”

Xian Bi shook his head, he also saw Li Donglou, so he said to Wang Yunyao: "You go, I'm going home." ”

Wang Yunyao said: "Then you go back, I'll go have a drink with Li Donglou." ”

Xian Bi didn't say anything, pointed to the shop that sold veils, and asked her, "Do you still buy it?" ”

Wang Yunyao said: "Buy one, I've been watching it for so long, which one do you like?" ”

Xian Bi reached out and picked up a white veil that was very similar to the color of her skirt, Wang Yunyao was wearing an off-white skirt today, saying white is not white, saying yellow is not yellow, with this veil is just right, Wang Yunyao has no opinion, took the veil from Xian Bi's hand, and was ready to pay for it, Xian Bi had already paid first, and when he was looking for money, he said to Wang Yunyao: "You go, don't wait for me, I'll go back to sleep after taking the money." ”

Wang Yunyao listened, and no longer lingered, lifted her skirt and entered the Baoxi Restaurant.

Li Donglou was happy to see her come up alone, but when he saw Xian Bi standing there and taking the money from the owner of the store, he didn't feel very comfortable, he thought that he paid Wang Yunyao for the skirt last time, and she pushed back, if it wasn't for the fact that she almost missed her mouth, she would probably insist on paying herself, but just now Xian Bi bought her a veil, she didn't even refuse.

After Xian Bi left, Li Donglou retracted his gaze, turned his head to look at the door, and didn't hear anyone knocking on the door, so he stood up and went to open the door, and as soon as the door opened, he saw Wang Yunyao coming over.

Li Donglou leaned against the door and smiled at her: "Are you shopping with Xian Bi?" ”

Wang Yunyao responded: "Yes, I'm not familiar with Xishi, I just happened to meet him, so I asked him to take me around." ”

Li Donglou sighed, said he knew, and asked, "Why didn't he come up?" ”

Wang Yunyao had already walked to the door, opened her eyes and looked in, and saw that there were two men inside, she paused, pointed at herself, and asked with her eyes: "It's not convenient, right?" ”

Li Donglou also glanced inside, then stretched out his hand, quietly grabbed Wang Yunyao's waist, pushed her into the room, and then closed the door, introducing Wang Yunyao to Xia Ban and Xiao Zuo, and introducing Xia Ban and Xiao Zuo to Wang Yunyao.

Xia Ban and Xiao Zuo knew that the girl in front of them was the celebrity next to Concubine Wan, so they were extremely polite, and they stood up and saluted her.

After Wang Yunyao knew that these two people were the commanders of the forbidden army outside the palace, she was also extremely polite, and also blessed the two of them.

After the group saw the ceremony, Li Donglou continued to ask Wang Yunyao: "Why didn't Xian Bi come up?" ”

Wang Yunyao said: "I was going to come up to drink some wine, he had eaten and drunk, I just asked him to drink with me, he didn't drink, so he could only go shopping, now I know that you are upstairs, and I also know that I came up to drink, so he went back, saying that he would go to the hospital tomorrow, and he had to go to bed early." ”

Li Donglou sighed again, his eyes drooped slightly, he didn't know how to describe his mood at the moment, in short, it was not very comfortable, listening to her introduce Xian Bi so naturally, the words seemed to be talking about her husband, as if she was just an ordinary friend, she came to meet her friend's wine appointment, nagging her husband to go back early, and couldn't accompany her, and then looked down at the veil wrapped around her hands and neck, and felt particularly dazzling.

Li Donglou silently picked up the wine glass in his hand and drank a glass of wine, barely suppressing the uncomfortable feeling in his heart, and then called Xiao Er to come over, took a clean empty wine glass for Wang Yunyao, and asked Xiao Er to serve two more pots of wine.

The wine shops of the Great Yin Empire are strange, and the restaurants that can squeeze into the Qianfang wine shops in Huaicheng, the imperial capital, are all famous, and the wine in the restaurants also has their own merits, and the most famous restaurant is Bafeng Slope, and the most famous thing in Bao Xi Restaurant is that they are happy not to cry, the peculiarity of Bafeng Slope lies in the strength of the wine, and the peculiarity of the joy is not to cry in the taste of wine, this kind of wine is also known as Baiwei, that is, this wine is drunk into the mouths of different people, you will not taste different tastes, just now Li Donglou and Xiao Zuo and Xia Ban drank this kind of wine, but they are used to drinking, I don't think it's so unusual.

But Wang Yunyao drank it for the first time, and it was very rare.

It's so rare, and I drink a lot.

When it was over, the outside was already black, although the downtown was still brightly lit, but when you walked out of the downtown area, it was silent, the lights of thousands of homes were extinguished, Xia Ban and Xiao Zuo both drank a little too much, Li Donglou was also a little drunk, and Wang Yunyao's face was also red, but she could barely walk.

Xia Ban and Xiao Zuo said goodbye to Li Donglou and Wang Yunyao, and the two staggered away together.

Li Donglou looked at Wang Yunyao, who was slightly drunk and flushed, reached out and helped her waist, and whispered in a tone full of wine: "Send you back first." ”

Wang Yunyao didn't refuse, she was a little unstable, and she really had to be supported by Li Donglou.

Li Donglou held Wang Yunyao's waist, Wang Yunyao leaned on his arm, the two walked on the quiet street in the middle of the night, and Li Donglou hugged Wang Yunyao into his arms as they walked.

Wang Yunyao's nose hit his hard chest, although it was through the clothes, but it still hurt a little, and she muttered: "Take care of it." ”

Li Donglou chuckled, quietly circled her with his arms, and walked forward step by step, looking up at the road ahead, just thinking that there was no end to this road.
