Chapter Eighty-Three: Won't You Come With Me?
Ah Leng poured a full glass, grunted a few times, and drank three glasses of wine in one go.
Uncle Zhang was dumbfounded: "What are you doing here?" I'm not asking you to respect me! Drink slowly, drink slowly, it's easy to get drunk when you drink urgently. ”
Should I say it, or should I say goodbye without saying goodbye?
If he said it, Lu Xiyi and Xiaomeng would definitely be sad, he didn't want to see two women crying in front of him.
What made Lu Xiyi feel even more strange was that the corners of Ah Leng's mouth actually showed a smile.
"Let's have a drink, everyone!" Aleng poured wine for everyone.
"Why?" Lu Xiyi stared at him.
"Because spring is coming!" Ah Leng raised his glass, "The plan of the year lies in spring, and I hope everyone has a happy future." ”
Xiaomeng scratched his head, his eyes full of doubts: "Brother, you don't usually talk like this." ”
Ah Leng asked rhetorically, "How do I usually talk?" ”
Little Dream thought: "I don't know how to say it, anyway, it's not the way you talk now." ”
Uncle Zhang said: "Children, you think too much! Boss Lu came out of prison, shouldn't Ah Leng be happy? Come on, I'll do it with you! ”
While!
Ah Leng and Uncle Zhang drank the wine into their stomachs.
"Good wine, good wine!" Uncle Zhang's face was oily, "My old Zhang has drunk so much wine, and the wine made by Boss Lu is the most suitable for my taste." ”
Ah Leng thought to himself, if he couldn't drink the wine brewed by Lu Xiyi himself in the future, would he be bored?
Lu Xiyi tossed and turned, unable to sleep, she kept thinking about Ah Leng's strange appearance today. It seems that after passing by the inn, Ah Leng began to look wrong. What's in the inn? Does it have something to do with the burly man who abruptly abrupt them?
By the way, where does this man Lu Xiyi seem to have seen before? Ah Leng turned his head and went back, who did he go to see? A flurry of questions upset her.
At this time, the melodious sound of the flute came through the window again, and it was a sad tune tonight.
Lu Xiyi jumped up, his hand just touched the door, and suddenly stood on his feet again: "Hmph, Ah Leng didn't tell me if he had something in his heart, so I won't go to see him!" Let him blow it there himself. ”
Lu Xiyi found cotton and blocked his ears, so that he could no longer hear Ah Leng's flute.
Ah Leng really wanted Xiyi to go out to meet him, and he wanted to tell her that he was leaving Liuzhou City tomorrow. However, he played two tunes, and Lu Xiyi didn't go out, so he had to give up.
Xiaoxi, it seems that we are at the end of our fate!
The next day, Lu Xiyi lit the fire and Ah Leng chopped wood, and neither of them talked. Ah Leng has something on his mind, and Lu Xiyi is angry with him.
Knock knock!
Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside, and the knock was very quick and rude.
"Who is it, knocking loudly on the door early in the morning?" Lu Xiyi complained, "If you want to buy wine, you don't have to be so early!" The fifth watch drum has just passed. ”
Lu Xiyi was about to go out to open the door, but was preempted by Ah Leng: "I'll open it." ”
Lu Xiyi didn't say anything. Ah Leng stepped out of the patio and opened the door. A brightly dressed man stood outside the threshold, he was the fifth master who was responsible for escorting the tribute wine on the road.
Ah Leng was a little surprised: "The fifth master came so early, is there something?" ”
The fifth master said: "I just received a letter from the capital, saying that in order to welcome the Spring Festival, we are asked to escort the tribute wine to Beijing in advance. So I've come here to tell you that all the tribute wine should be prepared within three days, and then enter Beijing by water! ”
When Lu Xiyi heard the words of the fifth master, he also came out: "Why do you want to take the waterway this time?" ”
The fifth master replied: "The land route has not been very smooth recently, in order to avoid incidents, it is safer to take the water route." Moreover, this time, the one who escorted the tribute wine to Beijing with us was also Young Master Shen. There are a group of dart masters around him, but Zhou Hu Gongjiu is safe. ”
"Shen Sizhuo?" Lu Xiyi opened her mouth wide, she and Shen Sizhuo were mortal enemies, how could she let him escort the tribute wine? Isn't that the same as asking a wolf to watch over the sheep?
Ah Leng pondered that Shen Sizhuo must have sent money to the capital, so the head of the palace promised him to escort the tribute wine to Beijing. Shen Sizhuo's backstage is really not small, it's just a hand-eye!
Seeing that Lu Xiyi's boss was unhappy, the fifth master was angry: "What, you don't want Young Master Shen to send it?" ”
Lu Xiyi's mouth pursed: "Of course I'm not happy!" We have a ...... with him" When the words came to her mouth, Lu Xiyi swallowed again, she didn't want to expose the contradiction between her and Shen Sizhuo in front of Qin Cha.
"What's there?" The fifth master stroked his mustache, "Let me tell you, even if Young Master Shen is your father-killing enemy, you have to let him send tribute wine to Beijing." This is the meaning of the head of the palace, that is, the meaning of the emperor, you know? ”
Lu Xiyi muttered: "My father is still alive, but he is not dead!" ”
The fifth master's big eyes glared: "What did you say?" ”
Ah Leng tugged Lu Xiyi's arm and said to the fifth master: "We know, we must prepare the tribute wine in three days." ”
"That's pretty much it!" The fifth master clapped his hands and strode away.
"What the hell does this Shen Sizhuo want to do!" Lu Xiyi was angry, and sat on the chair and became angry. "The weasel is uneasy and kind to the chicken, he must want to borrow the tribute wine to go to Beijing to do tricks, and damage the name of my Xiaoyao Wine Workshop!"
Yes, Shen Sizhuo is not so kind, and will send wine to Xiaoyao Wine Workshop! Therefore, someone must follow him and guard against him.
"No," Lu Xiyi knocked on the table, "This time to send tribute wine to Beijing, I must go with me to see what Shen Sizhuo can do!" ”
Ah Leng's eyes suddenly brightened: If she can go to the capital, then this farewell may not be goodbye!
"I also think that you should personally send tribute wine to Beijing to prevent Shen Sizhuo from doing anything to the tribute wine."
Lu Xiyi glanced at Ah Leng: "You mean, you don't go with me?" ”
Ah Leng spoke: "I...... I look at the winery. ”
What is it? The task of escorting the tribute wine to Beijing was actually done by a woman! It's not like Alen's style.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll be bullied by Shen Sizhuo?"
Ah Leng replied seriously: "Naturally, I'm afraid." ”
"I'm afraid, won't you go with me?" Lu Xiyi tested what Ah Leng was thinking.
"I'll ask another person to accompany you, and this person will definitely be able to protect you."
The person Ah Leng said naturally refers to Liu Ji.
He invited Liu Ji to go to Chunfeng Tower for a drink.
"You're looking for me?" As soon as Liu Ji looked at Ah Leng, he knew that he had something to ask for.
Ah Leng asked directly: "Do you want to go to the capital?" ”
There are so many fun and delicious things in the capital, Liu Ji naturally wanted to go: "What, you want to take me to the capital to play?" ”
Ah Leng's serious expression showed that he was not joking. So the smile on the corner of Liu Ji's mouth disappeared in an instant.
"It's not to play, but to send tribute wine to the capital with Xiaoxi."
Liu Ji thought about it and felt that something was wrong: "Shouldn't you accompany her?" Why me? ”
"I have something else."
"What's more important than your woman?"
Ah Leng's cold eyes rolled suddenly, he didn't like Liu Ji to make jokes between him and Lu Xiyi.
"Well, I'm saying the wrong thing!" Liu Ji saw Ah Leng's unhappiness, he was unhappy, he was really afraid of people. "I promise you to accompany Lu Xiyi to send tribute wine to Beijing."
"The reason why I asked you to escort this time is because Shen Sizhuo also went with him, and you know him as a person, I don't know how many schemes there are in my stomach, I want to harm Xiaoxi and Gongjiu." Ah Leng was worried.
