Chapter 556: Invitation to drink
"Hmm...... That's fine, but it can't be done in the barracks. Situ Wuji came back to his senses, glanced outside the tent, nodded, and said with a somewhat cold expression: "I have already sent someone to inquire, there is a restaurant in a small town not far from the camp, and there are more people coming and going, so let's do it there, and it won't attract the attention of others." ”
"Well, then I'll call him over now. Situ Dengtian smiled strangely, turned around and walked out of the tent.
After a while, Lin Leng followed Situ Dengtian into the tent. He bowed briefly to Situ Wuji and asked, "Lord Situ, I don't know if there is anything important about you calling me here?"
"Oh, it's not a big deal, it's just that I've been negotiating with the Demon Brake King for days, and I'm feeling very tired, so I want to go and relax in a nearby town, I wonder if General Lin Leng is willing to go with me?" Situ Wuji said lightly.
He only asked symbolically, because no matter where he went, Lin Leng would definitely go with him, after all, he was sent by His Majesty to protect him.
No matter how different the Lin family and the Situ family are, at this point, Lin Leng still does a good job and does not live up to his personal guard.
"Okay, I'll let the guards prepare the horses, and by the way, change into civilian clothes. As he expected, Lin Leng did not suspect that there was fraud, nodded, turned around directly and gave a few orders to the guards, and then walked towards his camp.
Situ Wuji and Situ Dengtian glanced at each other, and they both saw a secret pride in each other's eyes.
The two did not hesitate, and after changing into civilian clothes, they each rode their horses. After the rendezvous, the three of them rode towards the town to the west.
Since the distance from the town was not too far, it didn't take long for the three of them to come to the town. Situ Wuji rode a horse, wandered around the town a few times, and finally stopped outside a restaurant called Guanyun Restaurant.
"I didn't expect this town to be quite prosperous, although it is said to be as lively as God, but the small people and small households have a different flavor. Situ Wuji pretended to sigh twice, then jumped off the horse and handed the reins to the shopkeeper.
Situ Dengtian and Lin Leng also stopped their horses behind him, and without waiting for Lin Leng to ask, Situ Wuji said to them: "I've been shopping for a long time, and I'm a little hungry unconsciously, I think this restaurant is good, let's go into the store and eat something and go back!"
Situ Dengtian jumped off the horse very simply, and after tying the horse, he followed Situ Wuji and walked in.
However, Lin Leng was a little confused, and he felt very incomprehensible. When he jumped off the horse, he couldn't help muttering in his heart: What is wrong with Situ Lao Turtle Egg? It has only been not long after lunch, why are you hungry again? Could it be that old age is ill?
It's not that Lin Leng can't eat, it's just that he doesn't want to eat at the same table with the Situ family from the bottom of his heart.
After all, the two families have been fighting openly and secretly all year round, and I don't know how many things the Situ family has made stumbling tricks for their own family, and recently their nephew Lin Yu has not made their family suffer. Sitting at a table with them at this time feels awkward no matter what!
It's just that he has the responsibility of protecting Situ Wuji this time, and he has to listen to his opinion on many things, since they want to eat, then they can only accept it. Lin Leng shook his head and followed them into the store.
Although it is already a meal, there are not many guests in Guanyun Restaurant. Except for the guests sitting at the table by the window, there was only an inconspicuous couple sitting near Situ Wuji's table.
"Shopkeeper, bring all the good dishes in your store, and then bring two jars of good Jiuqu brew!" Situ Wuji took out a silver ingot from his arms, slapped it heavily on his desktop, and said proudly: "Here are ten taels of silver, you don't need to look for it, hurry up and bring it to me!"
"Yes, yes, the three guest officers, please wait a while, I will let people prepare all the good wine and food as soon as possible!" The shopkeeper saw the big customer, smiled all over his face, quickly ran over to put away the silver, and then turned around and ran to the back kitchen to urge the food.
In less than a stick of incense, the table of the three of them was already full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and the Jiuqu brew had also been placed on the side. Situ Dengtian turned around and took a jar of wine, patted open the mud, first poured a bowl for Situ Wuji, then filled his own bowl, and finally poured wine into Lin Leng's bowl.
"Come on, let's come out and relax, let's do this bowl first!" Situ Wuji picked up the bowl, shook it around the table, and drank the wine with his head. Situ Dengtian was very cooperative, and he also took a sip of the wine, only Lin Leng silently looked at the wine bowl in front of his table, motionless.
"Huh, why doesn't General Lin Leng drink? Isn't it not giving Lord Situ face?" Situ Dengtian finished drinking, and seeing that Lin Leng didn't move at all, he sneered, and said in a weird way.
"Oh, ascend to heaven, don't speculate on people! Situ Wuji waved his hand and said with a smile.
When Situ Dengtian saw his father speak, he stopped squeaking, just snorted softly, picked up the chopsticks and began to eat the vegetables.
Lin Leng watched these two people sing and harmonize, and the feeling of doubt in his heart became stronger and stronger, what kind of drama is this old and young man singing?
"General Lin Leng, I heard that there have been a lot of broken mouths in the imperial capital recently, and it is secretly rumored that the Situ family and the Lin family are not in harmony, and the two families are incompatible. Situ Wuji ignored Lin Yu's inexplicable look and said with a look of righteous indignation.
Lin Leng didn't know how to continue the words, so he had to pull the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, isn't this the truth? Our two families are indeed incompatible! It is also rumored that the three-year-old child wearing open crotch pants in the imperial capital knows whether this matter is good or not!
After pouring the wine again, Situ Wuji picked up the bowl, looked at Lin Leng with a sincere face and said, "Come! Let's dry this bowl of wine and completely smash those rumors!" With that, he tilted his neck and drank the wine in the bowl, and shook Lin Leng with the bottom of the empty bowl.
"This ...... Situ, I'm sorry, but I'm on a guard mission right now, so I'm afraid I won't be able to drink with you. If I am told to Your Majesty, I am afraid that I, the general, will come to an end. Lin Leng couldn't be silent anymore this time, so he had to refuse with an embarrassed face.
He didn't know what tricks Situ Wuji was playing, and he didn't know if there was anything greasy about this wine, so he didn't dare to move easily
