Emperor Changsheng has been in a bad mood lately.

First of all, he was disgusted by Cheng Jingshu's incident. Moreover, the mob in Shu became more and more violent, and even quietly infiltrated the governor's mansion of Shu, killed the governor Hongyang, and then established himself as the king.

Shu is surrounded by mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the people sent by Emperor Changsheng always sink into the sand and return with feathers.

Of course, these are all trivial matters, and the most important thing is the face of the imperial court.

Emperor Changsheng was a little annoyed and angry, and he didn't like anything, and Shi Shilang of the Criminal Department was even removed from his official position because of a mistake in writing a word on the fold.

Although everyone knows that it was because Mrs. Shi was talkative, she wanted to laugh at Wang Linzhi at the princess's spring banquet, but she ended up shooting herself in the foot. But he also understands that the emperor is now moody, and maybe the next unlucky one is himself.

All of a sudden, the officials were in danger.

Although the atmosphere in the court was a little depressing, the capital was unexpectedly lively.

It's easy to go out of the national funeral, and it's a bright time of spring, and many people can't wait for the joy of staying up all night.

As for the matter of harmony, with people in the top tank, others naturally don't have to worry.

Mrs. Xiang was so anxious that she didn't know what to do, she had obviously discussed it with Princess Qingyang, and she was going to the princess's mansion to propose marriage soon, but she didn't expect such a temporary change, and she was in turmoil for a while, and she didn't know what to do. I only hope that my son will know the news later.

As everyone knows, Xue Jizu, the youngest son of the Xue family, has already written this news into a secret letter and sent it to Yumen Pass in the form of an expedited 800 miles.

This is the only pass to the Great Zhou in the Western Regions, and the border city in the pass is no less prosperous than the imperial capital at this time.

Merchants of all kinds walked through it, bartering for what they wanted.

Most of the mainland merchants brought porcelain, tea, clothing, etc., in exchange for pepper, spices, skins, and so on.

The young man of sixteen or seventeen years old, through the hustle and bustle of the crowd, ignored the bold and explicit teasing of the bearded girl, and soon arrived in front of a wine shop.

Before he could speak, the guy had already greeted him enthusiastically, "Second Brother Gu, you are here, please come inside, the owner has been talking about you every day for the past few days." ”

The boy patted him on the shoulder, then walked past him and went upstairs himself.

Upstairs there was a piece of wool felt thrown on the ground, and several men with round shoulders and thick waists were sitting on the felt and throwing dice, guessing the size.

The young man didn't speak, and sat down next to him with a bearded chair very familiarly, holding his chin to watch the excitement.

Their gameplay was simple and rude, but the game was very big, and the owner Hu San quickly lost all the gold ingots in front of him, winning back a stinky sweat, plus a few Hu people laughed at it with lame official words.

"You are a native of Middle-earth, you prefer to be surnamed Hu, I think you are a fool!"

Hu San was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and was about to go downstairs to get the silver again, when he unexpectedly saw the young man.

Suddenly stood up happily, rubbed a pair of fat hands, and said with a smile on his face: "Brother Gu, it's just in time, come and play a few games." ”

The boy sat there unmoved, "I didn't bring any money!" ”

Hu San didn't force it, but said, "Then Brother Gu is here to buy something today?" ”

Gu Yue nodded, "I want a daughter of ten or thirty years." ”

Hu San: "If you win them, don't say that your daughter is red for thirty years, or your daughter for sixty years, your brother Hu will definitely not be stingy!" ”

A few Hu people glanced at him with embarrassment, "The little brother is handsome and extraordinary, you can mortgage things!" ”

The young man smiled faintly, "But I don't have anything of value, so I only bring the silver to buy wine." ”

Hu San smiled hesitantly: "Then put the silver ticket to buy the wine first, if you lose it all, the wine will be on credit first." ”

The Hu merchants glanced at each other and couldn't help but nod their heads to each other.

Even if this kid has been playing dice since he was born, he has been less than ten or twenty years compared to them, but this kid looks polite and elegant, just like those noble people who read poetry and books in the Great Zhou, and his status must be transcendent, if he wins him, it can be regarded as a beautiful talk.

"It's okay to bet on silver, don't you Han people say that all the lakes and the whole world are brothers? Bet less, and make a friend. "They don't think it's going to be possible for the other side to win.

Hu Shang said, unceremoniously shook the dice first, and shook a five, five, six.

When it was the second person's turn to shake, a four-six-six came out.

The third person shook five, six, six, and six when he shook it.

Then he handed the dice to Gu Yue, Gu Yue didn't look at it in his hand, and shook it a few times, three sixes.

Everyone couldn't believe it, only Hu San laughed proudly.

He lost for several days, and this time he finally raised his eyebrows.

Gu Yue shook it twice, and all of them were six.

He had learned kung fu and could control his strength, and it would be effortless to win them.

A few Hu merchants only knew that they had met a master at this time, and they thought that if they played a few more games, they would be able to figure out the dice rolling technique of the young man in front of them. Unconsciously lost all the gold ingots in front of him, and then reluctantly went downstairs.

Hu San chuckled and laughed, "Brother Gu is really amazing!" But these sixty-year-old daughters are red twenty taels of gold, do you want it? ”

The owner of the wine shop is black, and the heart is even blacker, it can really be said that the asking price is sky-high, but after all, this is not as good as the capital, except for this wine shop, there is no silver in other places.

Gu Yue nodded painfully, "Yes, the rest will be deposited with you first." ”

Hu San was even more happy, "Haole, the wine brother will open the cellar for you immediately, but there are no ten altars, only two." ”

Gu Yue smiled faintly, "Two altars are two altars." ”

Hu San soon brought out the wine in person, as if looking at his beloved woman, he reluctantly glanced at it a few times before handing it to Gu Yue.

Gu Yue took the wine, bought some lo-mei and a pot of ordinary wine nearby, and strode away.

He directly brought the wine to the Marquis of Changxing, "I'll have a drink with the Hou Ye tonight." ”

Changxinghou wanted to say that he wouldn't drink it, but Gu Yue had already slapped the wine away.

The rich and fragrant aroma of wine instantly fills the room.

Changxing Hou took a long breath, swallowed and foamed hard, and asked with glowing eyes, "Where did the aged wine come from?" ”

Gu Yue smiled, "I asked an acquaintance to bring it from the south." ”

As he spoke, he opened the pickled vegetables in the lotus leaf bun, "I told the guy that I didn't put mustard." "Changxinghou will have a rash on his body when he eats mustard, and very few people know about this.

Changxinghou didn't ask anymore, and directly carried the wine jar that Gu Yue slapped open in front of him, first dipped a little with his fingers, put it in his mouth and tasted it, and then nodded and said: "Sure enough, it's the authentic aged daughter Hong!" ”

Gu Yue smiled and nodded.

"You're too young to drink such strong wine!"

Gu Yue replied, "I'll drink this burning knife, just take a symbolic drink." ”

Changxinghou looked regretful: "You kid is too angry with me, but it's a pity that I only have two daughters, and they are all married!" ”
