"Huh... Ha ha... Ha! ”

Early in the morning, Jia Jue sweated bare-chested in the small garden to practice the knife, while practicing and yelling, this is a habit he has developed for many years, rain or shine, practice for an hour every morning, if nothing happens, he will also carry out training in riding archery and cavalry combat, the time is almost up, Jia Jue panted and handed the horse chopping knife to the soldiers on the side, took the towel handed by Jia Fu to wipe the sweat beads on his body, and thought about it in his heart.

Yesterday, Jia Jue led people from the Hyogo Division to receive 1,000 firearms, including 300 bird guns, 700 three-eyed guns, and conducted a test shot in the school field, the results were unsatisfactory, I thought that the firearms of the Gyeonggi garrison would be much better than the Jiangnan battalion, and he was the heart of a villain and the belly of a gentleman, and the court did not treat it differently, the same equipment, the maximum range of the bird's gun was 250 steps, and the effective range was only about 180 steps, as for the three-eyed gun, not to mention.

I heard a good news from Niu Jizong, that is, there is a batch of Lu Mi guns sealed in the imperial city arsenal, the longest range can reach 400 steps, and the effective range is basically stable at 300 steps, he can find a way to transfer a thousand branches to the Ruishi battalion, however, this matter must be nodded by the emperor.

Thinking of this, Jia Jue's mind immediately flashed the appearance of a flintlock pistol, this is a firearm that has been equipped for more than two hundred years, he is very clear about his situation, he only knows the general situation, and does not know how to transform, in addition, he knows that Jinyiwei is investigating his own affairs, thinking that it is because the matter of the Shenji Battalion has aroused the emperor's suspicions, too demonic will not live long, in order not to be too eye-catching, he specially sent a letter to Jia Zhong, asking him to send people to Fujian and Guangdong City to find Xiyi people who know how to manufacture firearms, Find a way to upgrade the firearms of the Ming Dynasty, and only with sharp weapons can you win greater military achievements.

However, this is not something that can be done in a short period of time.

At this moment, the housekeeper Lin Zhixiao came over, saw Jia Jue standing there and bowed his head in contemplation, hesitated for a moment, and still stepped forward to report: "Third master, someone from the Zhenguo Mansion is talking, and Niu Gongzi invites you to go to Xicheng Moon Tower for a banquet." ”

Jia Jue: "What's the matter?" ”

"I said, it's the grandson of the prince of Qi who celebrates his birthday in two days, and I celebrate it in advance today."

Jia Jue pondered for a while, and then asked, "But what kind of congratulations do you want to prepare?" ”

"Although the steward said it, the third master will give the biggest face. But you can't let people speak, the small ones have already made people prepare for the ceremony. ”

"Alright then!"

Jia Jue nodded, and said to Jia Fu again: "You bring someone to prepare, and I'll wash up and come over." ”

An hour later, Jia Jue rode to the West Market, led Jia Fu and others directly to the Moon Tower, different from that day, the street was full of people, bustling, lively, the Moon Tower was also people in and out, and there was an endless flow of people.

The group rode horses and carried knives, which immediately attracted the attention of the guy in front of the door, and when he saw that it was Jia Jue who was the head, the guy's eyes lit up, and he immediately stepped forward, and said with a smile: "The little one is asking for peace to the uncle." ”

Before he could say a word, the shopkeeper immediately ran out of the restaurant and smiled, "Uncle, you can come, if you don't come, the small restaurant will be demolished by several masters... You're going inside please! ”

Jia Fu handed over the horse whip to the soldiers, and followed the shopkeeper into the Moon Tower, Jia Fu led a few soldiers to follow behind, and the rest of the people tied their horses, and then found a place with a good view in the hall on the first floor to sit down.

Everyone went upstairs together, and at this time, the shopkeeper whispered: "Uncle, today is the banquet of Chen Xuan, the general of the forbidden army of the prince of Qi, and all those who came were the founding of the country, in addition to a few princes, Tai'an Hou Shen Yi and Nanyang Bo Gaoping also came." ”

Jia Jue nodded silently, and the shopkeeper hesitated for a while before he said: "There is something I need to say to my uncle in advance, the second son of the Zhongshun Mansion is also on the third floor for a banquet for friends today." The small shop is open for business, so the visitors are guests, and I hope that the uncle will take care of it. ”

Jia Jue was startled and stopped, Zhu Zaimo was released from the Zongren Mansion yesterday, saying that it was the will of the Dazong Zheng and a few people to go to Cining Palace to beg.

The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly.

Jia Jue: "Who is it that you invited?" ”

The shopkeeper: ".... Uncle, you.... You...."

Jia Jue's face sank, "What, can't you say it?!" ”

The shopkeeper had a bitter look on his face, and when he saw Jia Jue's face showing no concern, a few words burst out from between his teeth, "The eldest son of the Marquis of Jinxiang has returned to Beijing!" ”

Ang Lee has returned to Beijing?

Jia Jue was shocked, why didn't he hear about it.

The shopkeeper rolled his eyes, "I heard that I entered Beijing last night." ”

Jia Jue glanced at Jia Fu, Jia Fu took out a silver ticket from his sleeve and went over, the shopkeeper didn't shirk it, he took a look, hey, fifty taels, hurriedly stuffed it into his sleeve, and smiled, "It's not early, uncle, please!" ”

Mochizuki Tower occupies a large area, there are three floors, the first floor and the second floor are scattered, the second floor is already full of guests, the third floor is a private room, Jia Jue walked into the first room on the right with the shopkeeper, walked into the private room, but was slightly stunned, I didn't expect the water to be there.

"Come on! Brother Jue, let me introduce you! ”

Niu Ben was very anxious, and without waiting for Jia Jue to speak, he immediately ran up and pulled him to introduce to everyone, they are all people of the noble lineage, even if they don't know each other, they are familiar with each other, after all, they have to go to the banquet every year on three festivals and two birthdays, and they can always meet once or twice.

After greeting each other, they all sat down, Jia Jue sat next to Niu Ben, and next to him was Wei Ruolan, the son of Wei Rugui, who may be Xiangyun's husband in the legend, Wenwen is weak, not like a martial artist at all, Chen Xuan is a martial artist, he looks five big and three thick, and Nanyang Bo Gaoping is also a burly and fierce martial artist, with dark skin and a rough voice.

However, Tai'an Hou Shen Yi is not like a general, but like a thin literati, but he can't be deceived by his image, although his martial arts are not very good, but his archery skills are quite amazing.

"Come on! Let's fill up the wine first. ”

Niu Ben had a bold temperament, he took a sip of the wine glass, smacked his lips and smiled: "Come on!" Let's have a cup of respect for the elderly. ”

Everyone drank the wine, and at this time, Shui Rong smiled and said: "This wine is good, beautiful women with good wine, only good wine, no beauty." ”

After speaking, he instructed the shopkeeper: "Go, go to the Qianjin Pavilion and invite a few girls to come over to accompany the wine, and each person will have one." ”

"Lord Wang, please wait a moment."

This Qianjin Pavilion is a government-run teaching workshop, the women in it do not sell their bodies, most of these young women are talented, play the piano and dance, accompany the guests to drink and chant poetry, and the Moon Tower is only separated by a wall, this is also water soluble, change people, how can they come over.

Wei Ruolan complained a little: "Just eat and drink, why do you want to find a woman." ”

Feng Ziying smiled, "It seems that Uncle Wei has been too strict with you, you have already made a marriage, why are you still like this?" ”

Nanyang Bo Gaoping said with a smile: "Man, you can leave anything, you can't lack two things, one is wine, and the other is beauty, otherwise, what's the point of living!" ”

Everyone responded one after another, but Jia Jue's brows were furrowed, Wei Ruolan was married?

It seems that I am thinking too much.

After a while, there was a warbler and a burst of chuckles outside the door, and Niu Ben hurriedly got up, "It's here." ”

Suddenly, a woman's screams were heard.

"Second son, this is invited by the prince of Beijing to accompany the wine, you can't move!"

"Who did I say, it turned out to be the sour king, since it's his, my son can't let them go, come, accompany the uncle and me to drink, the money will be paid, double...."

“.... Second son...."

"This bastard!"

Niu Ben heard that this was Zhu Zaimo's voice, where could he still stay, pushed open the door of the private room and rushed out, "Damn, ugly ghost, you dare to rob us.... Yes! ”

The shouting turned into a scream, Niu Ben was caught off guard, was punched by Zhu Zaimo on the bridge of his nose, stumbled back three or four steps, fell to the ground, blood spurted out suddenly, he snorted, and covered his face in pain.

Zhu Zaimo suddenly made a big mess in the corridor, and the wine girl in the Qianjin Pavilion screamed and fled out, Niu Ben was furious, his eyes were red, he got up and rushed forward, grabbed Zhu Zaimo's neck, knocked him to the ground, rode on Zhu Zaimo, smashed his fist in the face, and scolded in his mouth, "You bastard, you dare to sneak attack Lao Tzu, today Lao Tzu will give you a rising memory!" ”

Although Zhu Zaimo said that he had also been in the barracks, he was a gentleman in the end, where was Niu Ben's opponent, and he was beaten to the point of nosebleeds in a moment, and he didn't care about anything else, and scolded the palace guards on the side: "Beat him.... Beat me to death..."

The more he said this, the harder Niu Ben beat him, the guards glanced at each other, Shenjing has an unwritten rule, in order to prevent family hatred because of these children's personal conflicts, the two sides can fight together with their bare hands, and the guards are not allowed to interfere, no matter how big the trouble is, it is just a bit of flesh and skin injuries, but let Niu Ben fight again, I'm afraid something will really happen, several people stepped forward to pull Niu Ben up from Zhu Zaimo's body, where did Zhu Zaimo suffer this kind of loss, he got up and ran towards Niu Ben who was pulled by several guards, kicked it down, and several guards even went to stop Niu Ben, and Jia Fu and the others were furious, and rushed directly to fight with those guards.

The other party saw that there were many people here, and they were not opponents, so they desperately rescued Zhu Zaimo and fled to their box, Zhu Zaimo was beaten and his face was covered with blood, and he yelled at Niu Ben: "Niu Ben, you wait for me..."

At this time, everyone who noticed that the situation was wrong rushed out of the box, looking at Zhu Zaimo who fled in embarrassment, they were all stunned, and the shopkeeper walked over, "Everyone, the second son has suffered a big loss, he will never give up, although a few people are not afraid, but it is also troublesome to have such a trouble, drink it later, go back now, next time, the little old man will apologize to you for the wine." ”

Everyone looked at Chen Xuan, but Chen Xuan was a little embarrassed, and Shui Rong spoke, "Let's disperse, if it makes a big fuss, it won't end well." ”

Chen Xuan nodded, "Let's disperse, I'll make amends to you when I go to the house in two days." ”

"It's too late to leave."

Feng Ziying looked at the dozen or so people rushing out of the private room at the end of the corridor and said.

"They are all colleagues, there is no need to be so ruthless for a woman."

The person at the head is more than 20 years old, dressed in a strong suit, with a strong figure, and his martial arts are extraordinary at a glance, Jia Jue recognized the person, it was Li An, the eldest son of the Marquis of Jinxiang who worked hard in Xuanfu.

The shopkeeper: "The second son is angry, this matter is all the fault of the little old man, today's..."

With a "snap", Zhu Zaimo slapped and slapped away, hitting the shopkeeper stumbling.

The shopkeeper covered his face and was stunned, Zhu Zaimo's face was covered with blood, he hated it to the extreme, what kind of person is he, the descendants of Emperor Yongle, he was pressed to the ground and beaten violently, did he beat himself?

No! He didn't fight himself, he beat the power of the loyal royal palace, and beat the face of the clan.

The anger of revenge did not make him completely lose his mind, he pulled out the saber on the guard's waist, pointed diagonally to the opposite side, and said coldly: "Yes, we will see you outside the door forever!" ”

After speaking, he glared at Niu Ben fiercely, and left with the guards, Li An glanced at Jia Jue and followed.

Niu Ben waved his hand, "Go!" ”

Jia Jue looked at Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan's face was ugly, he gritted his teeth, and said loudly: "Let's go, see what tricks he can play." ”

The shopkeeper looked at the backs of everyone disappearing into the stairwell, and reminded: "Shopkeeper, let's hurry up and inform the prince!" ”

The shopkeeper didn't dare to delay any longer, and stomped his feet, "Damn, bad luck!" ”

scolded and hurriedly walked out.

The shopkeeper hurriedly followed.
