In the blink of an eye, when the Han King Li Yuanchang and his entourage returned, the weather had entered the depths of winter, and there was snow everywhere, and only a few main roads in Chang'an City had been swept out.

Xiuxiu......

After taking a few deep breaths, Li Yuanchang asked curiously, "Do you smell any special smell?" ”

The Yang brothers also sniffed a few times and nodded, there was indeed a faint smell that permeated the air. Did something happen in Chang'an City? Why is it that Suzaku Street has this special smell?

"Let's go, go to the palace, report to the imperial brother, and then go to the Qinwang Tavern to find the fifth brother. After tossing for months, the fifth brother must treat me well! Li Yuanchang was very much looking forward to seeing Li Yuanying, not for praise, but for the delicacies of the fifth brother Li Yuanying. I went to the small Khitan country for a few months, and all I ate was lightly skimmed stew, and my mouth was about to fade out of the bird.

Came to the gate of the palace, but the palace gate guards told that the emperor was not in the palace, Li Yuanchang said depressed, the heavy snow closed the road, I rushed for nearly two months to come back, the triumphant official document was sent back for several days, not to mention the second brother, you go out of the city ten miles to meet, at least you have to wait for me in the palace, right?

"Then do you know where my imperial brother went out of the palace today?" Li Yuanchang asked.

The palace gate guard shook his head and reminded in a low voice: "His Royal Highness the King of Han, Your Majesty's whereabouts have always been kept secret, don't say that we don't know, even if we do, we can't reveal it." ”

Isn't it, the itinerary of the king of a country is leaked out, what if he is ambushed and killed by someone with a heart on the road?

"That's it! Since the royal brother is not here, then I will ignore it for now, and report back tomorrow. Let's go, this king will take you to a big dinner, have you been to the King of Qin's tavern? My fifth brother is known as the god of cooking in the Tang Dynasty, hum, there are not many opportunities for him to cook in person, and if you can catch up once, you two profiteers are lucky, enough for you to brag about for a lifetime. ”

With that, Li Yuanchang got back into the carriage and went straight to the west city of Chang'an City with his two subordinates.

In the Qinwang Tavern, the entire front hall was empty, and there was no one in it, and the original dozen or so tabletops were also removed and replaced with three huge copper charcoal hot pots, which were much bigger than the one that let the county magistrate eat on the bullet train.

The soup base was already simmering in the hot pot, and the tempting fragrance permeated almost the entire West Market, and Li Yuanchang and the three of them were attracted by the fragrance before they entered the West Market.

"What the hell does this smell like? It's not obvious on Suzaku Street, but how did it get to the West Market and become more and more intense? Yang Biao asked curiously.

Yang Bao said weakly: "I don't know why, when I smell this fragrance, the corners of my mouth can't help but want to drool...... It should be, no, definitely, it must be a delicacy. ”

Delicacies?

Li Yuanchang's eyes lit up, and he laughed, "I know, it must be a new delicacy made by the fifth brother!" Hurry, the carriage is faster, and if you go late, you won't be able to catch up with the deliciousness. ”

In the study room in the backyard of the tavern, Emperor Li Er and King Li Yuanying of Qin were patiently drinking tea and chatting, looking out from time to time, as if they were waiting for someone.

"Fifth brother, guess what, if the seventh brother can't find me in the palace, will he be disappointed?"

"Disappointed?" Li Yuanying shook his head and said, "No!" Entering the palace to find you is just a routine, and I will report the results of the battle. Lao Qi is lazy, I think he must be more anxious to come over for a delicious meal. ”

Li Er quipped: "Come over for dinner? After eating your meal, you beat him so that his nose and face were swollen, did he dare to come over? ”

Li Yuanying said innocently, "Second brother, you can't say that." You also know that Lao Qi is more cunning than a gentleman, if you don't teach him a lesson, you will definitely get into a big disaster in the future, I will save him! Fortunately, this kid is good, not hopeless, this time the envoy to Khitan did a good job. ”

Mentioning this, Li Er also nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, Wulang, you are really my Tang Fuxing, and in just a few words, you will be a gentleman and educated into a manufacturable material." With you by my side, it feels a lot easier to be a brother, otherwise I would have a headache just one of the seventh. ”

"How can it be so easy? Look at it, when the seventh comes after a while, he will definitely pester me to make amends, and I don't know if today's beef hot pot is enough. Li Yuanying complained.

As he was talking, Li Yuanchang shouted at the top of his throat in the lobby in front of him, "Fifth brother, fifth brother...... I'm back! Don't disgrace your mission, hahahaha, don't come out to welcome your little brother? Hey? Why is there no one? The tavern won't be yellow, right? ”

Gotcha, the debt collector is coming!

Li Yuanying complained, got up and walked outside.

"Lord, lord! There was no one in the tavern, maybe His Royal Highness King Qin was busy with something. Look at these three cauldrons, I have already figured it out, the fragrance of the city is made by these three cauldrons, tsk, will this be the reception banquet specially prepared for you by His Royal Highness King Qin? Yang Bao said flatteringly.

Li Yuanchang glanced at this subordinate fiercely, "Nonsense, you can smell it when you have a long nose, use you to remind me?" Tsk, the fifth brother deserves to be the god of Tang cooking! Haha, this delicious, I knew it must be delicious before I even ate it. Whether it's for us or not, I'm his brother, even if I come for a meal, I should have a bite. ”

"Lord Wang, the little one will taste the saltiness for you first!" As he spoke, Yang Biao picked up the chopsticks and prepared to scoop the meat in.

Li Yuanchang kicked away with a black face, "Get out of the calf!" Does this king use you as a substitute? ”

While the three of them were fighting, Li Yuanying and the brothers walked out, and Li Yuanying shouted angrily: "Yo, our great hero is back?" It's amazing, I went to Khitan and learned to eat secretly? ”

"Huh? Fifth brother, I'm not ...... went to Khitan for half a year, and the birds were about to fade out of their mouths...... Yes? Second, the second brother? The younger brother has seen the royal brother! Seeing the emperor Li Er walking behind him, Li Yuanchang didn't dare to blow up the stab, and immediately respected.

The Yang brothers beside him were even more timid, and when they saw King Qin, they subconsciously bowed their heads, and they didn't dare to come out. Hearing that the emperor was also there, both of them began to tremble in their legs.

Emperor Li Er walked to Li Yuanchang's side with a smile, helped the other party up with his own hands, patted the other party's shoulder with satisfaction, and said kindly: "Yes, seventh brother, this time you did a great job!" You've finally grown up, and you're very happy for your brother. ”

"Ahem, the younger brother and the younger brother don't dare to take credit, it's all the plan behind the fifth brother, and the younger brother is just ......"

"Hahaha, don't look at your fifth brother, he deliberately tricked you. Knowing that you are triumphant today, for this reason, your fifth brother deliberately emptied the tavern and set up a special reception banquet for you. As soon as Li Er explained this, Li Yuanchang, the king of Han, instantly relaxed, stroked his chest and sighed, "I was scared to death, I thought I was going to be beaten again." ”

Li Yuanying wondered: "Am I so fierce?" You don't make mistakes, why should I beat you? I'm not a fourth brother who loves to fight. ”

"What's wrong with my love of fighting? I love to fight, and I won't hit people casually! Outside the door of the tavern, Li Yuanba's hearty laughter came, followed by many Wenchen military generals, it seemed that they were really ready to give Li Yuanchang a special reception banquet.
