Chapter 176: There is no silver here
Jing Liang listened to the gossip on the table, and his evil spirit was suddenly subdued, and he frequently clinked glasses with Shang Mingyuan, but whenever there was a toast, he had to drink three glasses with others before he would let go. It was only half a minute before he was drunk, gibberish, and uninhibited.
On the day of the emperor's wedding, the king drank several jars of wine from Qingqi Winery. Hurry up and bring wine to this king, don't talk nonsense, I'll beat you carefully! ”
Everyone watched him go drunk, laughing and laughing.
Shang Mingyuan looked like he was making a lot of trouble, so he had to recruit someone, "Send King Yan back to rest!" ”
Jing Liang was supported by two stout male servants, and walked out of the main hall noisily all the way.
"The princess asked me to come and see twice, waiting to see King Yan, but he was drunk, how can I go back?" One of the people who was supporting Jing Liang complained, walked to the side of a mountain, and met a group of government soldiers carrying food boxes.
Another person hurriedly shouted for someone to give way: "King Yan is here, don't give way quickly!" ”
There were more than a dozen people in the government soldiers, and they all retreated to the side of the road to get out of the way. After letting the three of them go, someone muttered in a low voice: "What is King Yan Xun, all of a sudden there are so many people in the house, all of them are noble, who can tell the difference!" ”
"Don't talk too much, be careful that the second master will hear it." Someone whispered a reminder.
The group hurried away.
The three of them entered the Jingliang courtyard, and someone was waiting in the courtyard.
"Princess, King Yan is back!" The little maid hurriedly opened the door and continued, some went to help people, and some went to pick up curtains and bring people to the hall.
"Aunt Huang, why are you here again?" Jing Liang didn't have any courtesy, he burped and spewed wine, and was pushed and dragged by several little maids to sit on the chair opposite the third princess.
"There's a plague going on in the city, and you're just going to drink for fun?" The third princess glanced at Jing Liang contemptuously.
Jing Liang poured a cup of tea and drank it by himself, and said disapprerovitically: "If there is a disease in the city, it is also a matter of the city lord and the emperor, and this is not Lucheng, what does the king have to do?" He raised his eyebrows, glanced at the third princess rudely, and argued unwillingly: "What? Only allow the guests of the imperial aunt and your mansion to feast, and not allow the king to get drunk once? Besides, this king is just passing by, and by the way, he will take a look for the emperor! ”
When the third princess heard him mention Lucheng, she suddenly had more calculations in her eyes.
"How many city soldiers do you have in Lucheng? Yanbei has always been under the control of King Ning, and the accumulation of decades of raising soldiers and grain has been cheaper in the end! The third princess looked at him jealously.
Jing Liang drunk on the table and said vaguely: "There are not many soldiers, this king has the emperor's trust and promised 100,000 soldiers and horses, plus the guards of Yanmen Pass, there are still 300,000." ”
The third princess immediately couldn't sit still, and walked back and forth on the ground a few times. "Liang'er? Liang'er? I called twice, but I didn't see him answer, and I didn't know what to do for a while.
"Send the palace back to the room, go to see your second master, and say that I will look for him, come to me quickly!" The third princess took the maid's hand and went out. But for a moment, there was not a single one left, not even one left to serve Jing Liang, and let him sleep on the table.
Jing Liang listened carefully to the movement in the courtyard, and it was not until it was quiet that he got up from the chair, tore open the placket and took off the robe that was stained with alcohol. Before he could put it on, there was a faint sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and he arrived at the bottom of the corridor in an instant.
"Come in!" Jing Liang called lazily.
Wuhuan pushed the door in, "Lord Wang, my subordinates are back." ”
"Hmm!" Jing Liang snorted lightly, "Let's talk first, come with me somewhere when you're done." ”
Wu Huan told all the things about Fengbei Town, "Lord Wang, Chu Yue's whereabouts subordinates have been trusted, but King Li's whereabouts and subordinates have not been able to find out after all. There were countless secret guards in the town, and his subordinates didn't dare to stay for a long time, so they had to come back first. ”
"Liwang? Of course you can't find out, Chu Li is not in Fengbei Town. Jing Liang smiled wickedly, "You come with this king, and this king will tell you where Chu Li's others are." ”
The two of them went out of the courtyard one after the other, carefully bypassing the guards to the residence of the third princess, and the secret guards who avoided the main gate entered the inner courtyard through the side wall across the courtyard.
The lights across the courtyard were still on, and Jing Liang listened attentively to the silence, but he still carefully leaned against the wall and went out of the moon gate, and approached the back window of the third princess's main house.
The doors and windows of the main hall were open, and there was a maid and a woman standing under the flower corridor in the courtyard.
Listening to the familiar voice, the evil aura under Jing Liang's eyes slowly dissipated, and an extremely rare yin owl hit his eyebrows.
Chuzhou City.
The gates of the city were closed, and a horse galloped in.
"Which one is so bold that he dares to break into the city gate and take it!" A young general on the tower shouted angrily.
A few people didn't go to close the city gate, and surrounded Qin Yan in the middle, "Get off the horse, otherwise don't blame the master for being polite!" The young general shouted, and came down from the castle tower with a spear in hand.
Qin Yan twisted his eyebrows slightly, and sat on the horse in dust, not moving at all.
"Hey, what about you, still not down?" The soldiers guarding the door got the fox power and coaxed.
"Let Cang Xiuwen come to see this king!" Qin Yan's voice sank like water.
The young general looked at Qin Yan fixedly, deeply shocked by his domineering posture of a king, and forgot that he had just roared to fight and kill.
"Master, this person wants to call the old city lord ......," the soldier reminded.
The young general came back to his senses, still pretending to be old, but he couldn't help but be curious, and asked, "Do you know my grandfather?" ”
"I don't know!" Qin Yan replied simply.
The young general didn't follow: "I don't know what you have to do with him, he doesn't have that time to take care of you." He circled around Qin Yan's horse, his eyes fixed on the sword at his waist, "Can you lend me that sword?" ”
Qin Yan just kicked the horse, and everyone was not careful and was rushed out of the encirclement by him, so he could only run behind the horse and shout angrily, "Stop, stop, catch him, don't let him run......"
Qin Yan looked in the direction on the horse, beat his horse and went straight there, and when everyone chased him outside the mansion gate, he had already entered the hall.
"The old man didn't know that the Tiger King was coming, and he missed the distance, so please forgive me." Cang Xiuwen, the lord of Chuzhou City, politely confessed his sin, asked people to make high-quality Lu'an tea, and personally served it to Qin Yan.
Qin Yan returned the salute, and thanked Cang Xiuwen before he made his intentions clear.
The Cang family has lived in the city of Chuzhou for generations and is a prominent family here. Since the founding of Eastern Chu, Chuzhou City has been the lord of a city by the Cang family, and it has been governed and operated, and it has made great contributions.
Cang Xiuwen has never seen the Tiger King, and he has heard a lot of legends in the world. When I saw it today, although people were a little cold to reject people, they had no arrogance, which was really rare.
Qin Yan has always talked little, and went straight to explain things simply.
Cang Xiuwen has five out of fifty, and he has experienced everything in the world, so he naturally understands his intention as soon as he hears it.
"For the country and the family, Cang is duty-bound!" Cang Xiuwen solemnly stated his position, "Not to mention whose credit is it to make the people of Eastern Chu rich and strong today, just for the hard-won stability, we should do our best to protect it; Back then, King Ning's rebellion was still yesterday, didn't the scars heal and forget the pain? He rebuked angrily.
A series of footsteps sounded outside the courtyard, "Grandpa, where did that person go?" ”
With the voice, a half-grown child ran in, silver armor and silver helmet, it was the young general who stopped Qin Yan at the city gate.
"Lin'er must not be rude, come and see His Royal Highness the Tiger King!" Cang Xiuwen got up and stood in front of the young general, and reprimanded him unhappily.
The young general blinked as if he didn't understand, and asked tentatively: "Grandpa, who do you say he is?" The young general stretched out his hand and pointed at Qin Yan, for fear of hearing it wrong, and asked, "Tiger King?" ”
Cang Xiuwen was uneasy, and the news from hearsay said that the blood of the Tiger King was cold......
"Lin'er!" He roared angrily and reprimanded: "Why don't you apologize to the Tiger King?" ”
Qin Yan looked coldly at the frightened half-grown child, and did not intercede.
Cang Yulin knelt down in front of Qin Yan under the pull of his grandfather, kowtowing heavily.
Before Cang Xiuwen could say anything, who knew that Cang Yulin hugged Qin Yan's legs, "I finally saw you, I finally saw you!" "Crying and laughing.
Qin Yan is not used to the closeness of others, and no one is allowed to get close except Weiyang. His face sank, as if a storm was coming.
"Lin'er!" Cang Xiuwen observed his words and looks, worried and uneasy. He pulled up Cang Yulin and hid it behind him, "Please also ask the Tiger King for forgiveness, this child has been obsessed with martial arts and the art of war since he was a child, all because the prince's prestige has been widely passed down through the world, and he respects you as a saint." ”
Qin Yan shook the corners of his robe lightly and lowered his eyebrows and said nothing.
Cang Yulin is only eleven years old, he is still a child, and when he saw that his grandfather told the Tiger King all his long-term thoughts, he was excited to hug Qin Yan's thighs again.
Qin Yan flashed lightly, standing in the middle of the ground with his hands behind his back. "Your Qingshan Sect has been passed down for five generations, and your martial arts roots are very deep, if you are willing to work hard, you don't have to worship under others; As for the art of war, it depends on one's talent, and it is not a bad thing to learn more. ”
"The Tiger King is absolutely right!" Cang Xiuwen glared at Cang Yulin, and politely invited Qin Yan to take a seat, "Although this kid is stubborn, he is willing to endure hardships and can endure his temperament." He looked at the indifferent look on Qin Yan's face, and swallowed back the request he wanted to speak. Like a mirror, this matter is really difficult for some strong people.
Cang Yulin's heart was all on Qin Yan, and after listening to what his grandfather said, he stopped talking, and he scratched his ears and cheeks in a hurry.
Qin Yan naturally knew what his ancestors and grandsons were intent on, and he didn't break it, so he stood up and said goodbye after three rounds of tea.
"Tiger King, please stay!" Cang Xiuwen came back to his senses and hurriedly followed, "Cang has already asked people to clean a quiet courtyard, and you live in the City Lord's Mansion, so it is more convenient to mediate everything." ”
Qin Yan decisively refused, "This king lives in Tianyi Pavilion, and there is something to discuss there!" After finishing speaking, he raised his legs and walked out of the hall door, and Ren Cang Xiuwen left him without stopping.
When Cang Yulin saw that Qin Yan was leaving, his heart suddenly became half cold. He also ignored his grandfather's reprimand, rushed out of the hall door, and followed Qin Yan who was far away.
"Lord Wang, I am familiar with Tianyi Pavilion, and I will show you the way!" He was afraid that Qin Yan would refuse, so he ran a long distance over Qin Yan before slowing down, and really led Qin Yan to the downtown area.
Qin Yan entered Tianyi Pavilion, Cang Yulin had already asked the shopkeeper for the key, stood on the stairs and respectfully invited him upstairs. "Lord Wang, you rest first, the guy is preparing hot water......"
"Go back!" Qin Yan interrupted him, "This king is not short of people to serve!" ”
Cang Yulin panicked for a while, his hands and feet didn't know where to put his hands and feet, and he hung his head aggrievedly.
Qin Yan entered the door and ignored him.
After a while, the guy sent hot water, Cang Yulin came to life again, and hurriedly knocked on the door: "The prince is here, let the guy send it in?" He said it with a flattery.
Qin Yan opened the door and let the guy in, and before he could speak, he listened to Cang Yulin and instructed the guy again: "Prepare some Chuzhou special food and send it up, as well as the falling flowers and dance." "He's sharp-tongued, and he's a bit chattering.
The shopkeeper followed behind the guy and saluted Qin Yan.
Qin Yan nodded, knowing that the shopkeeper must have already gotten some news, and he had already arranged it to be used.
Tianyi Pavilion is the property of Qilin Villa, and the plaque at the door is still the royal pen of today's saint. Since Chu Jue ascended the throne, this day a pavilion has also been famous in East Chu, and all the merchants who come and go are proud to settle here.
The Cang family of the city lord of Chuzhou naturally knew the truth of this, and Qin Yan said that he lived in Tianyi Pavilion, and Cang Xiuwen would not stay hard, so he let Cang Yulin send him over.
Who knew that his indifference was taken as a tacit approval by Cang Yulin, and he happily ran downstairs with his buddy to Zhang Luo.
Chuzhou City is located in the deep mountains, there are always more than half a year of clouds and mountains fog, haze and humidity are extremely heavy. For this reason, the food is mostly irritable and spicy, and each dish is served with the fiery smell of chili peppers, which is very choking.
Qin derived from the gentle water town, although he traveled south and north to many places, but he had never tried such a meal. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, twisting the chopsticks with one hand, but he stagnated.
Cang Yulin looked at Qin Yan's eyebrows that were getting tighter and tighter, and asked nervously, "King, prince, why don't you eat it?" He stepped forward in small steps and poured wine for Qin Yan, "This is the most famous wine in Chuzhou, from Qingqi Winery, and if you have money, you have to see whether the shopkeeper is willing to sell it." ”
Qin Yan raised his glass and drank half a glass, and tasted it carefully: the wine is also spicier than other places, and there is a faint bitter taste in the mouth, which should be because of Yin Chen and Poria cocos, and the wine has the aroma of barley.
After drinking a cup, Cang Yulin hurriedly poured him again.
His eyes inadvertently fell on the wine cup, and he was immediately stunned, and suddenly put down the wine bottle and ran away.
Qin Yan looked at the table of spicy food, twisted his eyebrows and refused to move his chopsticks, and was about to call his buddies to withdraw after drinking three or five glasses of wine. At this time, the shopkeeper himself came up and arrived outside the door with a tray.
"Lord Wang, the villain guesses that you are probably not used to the local meal, so I specially prepared some light side dishes." He came in, replaced the contents of the tray with the same meal on the table, and set the table again. "This wine is also a favorite drink of the Holy Lord, this is June, and the humidity is heavy, so you will drink some of it."
"Thank you!" Qin Yan took his robe and sat down again, after a few days of wind and dinner, his stomach was already empty, so he didn't care about it anymore, and picked up some unpalatable ones.
Cang Yulin was messing around with his buddies downstairs, and it wasn't until the shopkeeper came down that he looked at the shopkeeper angrily, "The master is going to entertain the Tiger King today, you, will you deal with the master with wet wine?" If the master's affairs are messed up by you, see if the master doesn't demolish your Tianyi Pavilion! "The latest chapter of the "Jinyue Claw Book House" is free to read for the first time.
