Chapter 65: The Fish in the Pool
Huayan glanced at Xiao Minglang, didn't answer, just tilted his head, crouched in the warm sun that was slowly revealed, and smiled lightly.
A luxurious carriage slowly drove towards the Forgotten Dust Building, and due to the crowd on Dragon Snake Street, the sound of scolding from the horsemen was heard from time to time. Hearing the sound, he opened the curtain of the Accord on the second floor and looked downstairs, and sure enough, he found Zhu Chaoshi's special driver. When the shepherd on the side saw it, she immediately turned around and prepared to go downstairs to greet her, but she grabbed her and said with a smile: "Don't bother the beauty, I'll go myself." ”
The shepherd leaned over and said, "Yes." ”
Then Huayan turned to Liu Che'er, who was sitting on the side, and said, "The prince is waiting here, I'll come when I go." ”
Liu Che'er nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Yingtai, you can go." ”
Hua Yan walked downstairs quickly to the door of the Forgotten Dust Building, just before Zhu Chaoshi dismounted. As soon as he saw Zhu Chaoshi appearing, he hurriedly put on a smile and said, "Lord Zhu is here, making the humble house shine!" ”
Zhu Chaoshi looked at the person in front of him who was thin, had white skin, and had a mustache, was stunned, and asked coldly, "You are the boss here?" ”
Hua Yan said flatteringly: "Yes, the little one's name is Jia Yingtai, a local." Seeing that Zhu Chaoshi was silent, she immediately bent down and made a gesture of please, and said, "Lord Zhu, please." ”
Zhu Chaoshi held his big belly, cleared his throat of phlegm, and strode towards the Forgotten Dust Building.
Huayan followed closely behind, carefully mentioning the direction along the way, and the two came smoothly all the way to the Accord where Liu Che'er was.
Zhu Chaoshi saw Liu Che'er who was seated, restrained the look of spirit just now, bowed down respectfully, and said, "Weichen see the prince." ”
Liu Che'er helped Zhu Chaoshi up and said cordially: "General Zhu doesn't have to be polite. Have a seat. After speaking, he sat down at first, but he didn't see Zhu Chaoshi move for a long time.
Zhu Chaoshi looked at the stool blankly, and he never dared to sit on an equal footing with the prince, until Liu Che'er persuaded him again and again.
Huayan, who was standing on the side, took the wine jug from the hand of the shepherd and put it in Liu Che'er's hand, and greeted him flatteringly, and left with the shepherd and closed the door.
Zhu Chaoshi hesitantly picked up the wine glass that Liu Che'er poured for him, and when he was about to drink, he felt that it was not in accordance with the rules, and put down the wine glass tremblingly.
Seeing this, Liu Che'er hurriedly smiled and said: "Come, I'll give General Zhu a cup first, General Zhu is really hard to guard the frontier for my Great Song Dynasty." ”
Zhu Chaoshi hurriedly picked up the wine glass, stood up, and said: "Weichen doesn't dare, everything Weichen does is his duty." ”
Seeing that he was still so restrained, Liu Che'er had to pretend to be annoyed and said: "If General Zhu is still like this, this king will be angry!" ”
Zhu Chaoshi couldn't be offended, so he hurriedly obeyed the order, drank three cups in a row, and drank so much that his face was red and his neck was thick, but he was never drunk.
Seeing that Zhu Chaoshi gradually let down his guard, Liu Che'er laughed heartily and said, "General Zhu really has a good amount of alcohol!" Let's have three more drinks together! ”
Zhu Chaoshi respectfully presented the wine glass and asked him to pour wine for him, and three more glasses of wine were in his stomach.
At this time, the sound of the warbler singing and swallow dancing downstairs slowly drifted into the Accord. Liu Che'er opened the door of the Accord just in time to watch the performance. He sat back next to Zhu Chaoshi, pointed to Lin Yunrou who was singing downstairs, and said, "Does Lord Zhu know this woman?" This female singing and dancing skill is the best in the capital! ”
Zhu Chaoshi opened his bull's eyes and looked carefully, shook his head and said, "Weichen has never known it. ”
Liu Che'er deliberately said: "How could General Zhu not know? This girl danced amazingly at my eldest brother's wedding banquet the day before yesterday, and even the emperor praised her graceful dancing. How could General Zhu have forgotten her? ”
As soon as Zhu Chaoshi heard about the wedding banquet of the eldest prince, his eyes immediately turned red, and his green muscles were exposed. In front of Liu Che'er, it was not good to have a seizure, so he only took a sip of wine.
Liu Che'er saw that he was suppressing his anger, and he drank the wine in his hand quietly, thinking about how to carry out his purpose.
Liu Che'er poured a glass of wine for Zhu Chaoshi and continued: "General Zhu is stationed in the military camp all the year round, the conditions are bound to be difficult, and the imperial court cannot take care of it, so the general must take the initiative to make it clear." Even if the court has a love for generals, occasionally there will be villains who secretly seek benefits from them, so as to damage the welfare that generals should have. After speaking, he pretended to glance at Zhu Chaoshi inadvertently, and when he saw that he really wanted to speak, he continued: "Since General Zhu didn't say it, it must be that this king is too worried. ”
Zhu Chaoshi listened, for fear that there would be no one to stand up for him, so he hurriedly said: "The prince doesn't know, how can there be no food and sleeping in the barracks, I have no complaints about the birth and death of the Great Song Dynasty for the imperial court, but ......"
Liu Che'er said patiently: "The general is here in this king, even if he has something to say, the general still doesn't know what this king is like?" ”
When Zhu Chaoshi heard this, he was even more relieved and said boldly: "It's just that I am so heart-wrenching, and in the end, I still can't get the emperor's attention compared to those who can only flatter and do nothing." Weichen didn't dare to complain, for fear of hurting the hearts of the soldiers. ”
Liu Che'er saw that Zhu Chaoshi said what was in his heart, so he gradually implemented his purpose. He sighed and said, "What General Zhu said, how can this king not know. General Zhu fought bloody battles, repeatedly made great contributions to the imperial court, and supported my father to ascend to the throne smoothly, and General Zhu made great contributions. The imperial court has not been a pool of clear water since ancient times, but there is still a worry about the future when this king will not let General Zhu and the soldiers fight and kill the enemy outside! ”
Zhu Chaoshi's mind was originally a little swollen due to anger and alcohol, and he suddenly heard Liu Che'er's words, which made him have to be shocked, his head instantly sobered, he looked at Liu Che'er blankly, and stopped talking.
Liu Che'er looked at Zhu Chaoshi's appearance and said with a smile: "General Zhu is willing to follow this king?" His opening to the point made Zhu Chaoshi even more shocked, and he stammered: "The prince is in love......"
Liu Che'er was a little unhappy when she heard this, and when she saw him embarrassed, she knew that he was a little hesitant, so she didn't ask anymore. The two drank another round of wine before parting.
All this was clearly heard by the painting Yan standing outside the door, and when he saw Zhu Chaoshi open the door and come out, he hurriedly greeted him and took him downstairs all the way.
When he wanted to go downstairs, he suddenly turned to Zhu Chaoshi and said, "I heard that the general loves BMW, if the general likes it, I have it in Taoyuan, and I will send my brother to your house in a few days." ”
Zhu Chaoshi was originally a little impatient with the entanglement of painting faces, but when he heard the word "Taoyuan", he suddenly raised his spirit and asked: "Are you from Taoyuan?" ”
Hua Yan took out the token of Taoyuan from his arms, smiled and said, "Can adults recognize this token?" ”
Zhu Chaoshi looked at it carefully, nodded stunned and said, "I have dealt with Taoyuan righteous people and know this card." ”
Huayan took back the token, suddenly changed the appearance of a hippie smile, stared at Zhu Chaoshi, and said solemnly: "Since the adults know, I won't beat around the bush." I already know about the conversation between you and that distinguished guest in Accord. I only have one sentence, the road that the distinguished guest wants to travel, my Taoyuan is full of dangers, and I will help him get through. It depends on what Lord Zhu should do? ”
Zhu Chaoshi was shocked into a cold sweat when he heard this, he has been stationed outside all the year round, and he knows the power of the righteous people in Taoyuan. originally thought that the third prince was weak, but because of his status as a prince, it was difficult to refuse openly. Now the powerful Taoyuan actually wanted to help him ascend to the throne, how dare he slack off, thinking of this, he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The meaning of the righteous man is also the meaning of Zhu, please rest assured." I also ask the righteous man to bring a message to the distinguished guests of Accord for me, saying that Zhu is willing to listen to his dispatch. ”
Hua Yan smiled with satisfaction, and politely arched his hand: "I must bring it next, Master Zhu walks slowly." ”
At this point, Zhu Chaoshi and the army he embraced secretly surrendered to the camp of the third prince Liu Che'er.
