Volume 2, The Journey of a Husband and a Gentleman Chapter 54, the lights shine on a thousand homes

Bai Jiu got up and took the wine with the glass, the wine was full, and then put it down, waiting for Lu Yu's next move.

Lu Yu shook his head, smiled, stretched out his hand and said, "How can you not eat the appetizer." After returning thousands of miles, the wind and dust still have to be picked up. ”

Bai Jiu said, "Please." ”

If you are not a diner, you are naturally not in the mood to taste the food seriously. The food in Yunxiju is very good, and if ordinary people want to eat it once, it may be a luxury. But the two of them faced each other with food, just like ordinary people eating in the night market on the street corner, very casually, without the slightest taste.

The wine is the wine of Fenglin County, and it is a good wine.

The dish is the dish of Yunxiju, and it is naturally a good dish.

Lu Yu put down his chopsticks, picked up the wine glass, and said, "Actually, there are some things I can't figure out. ”

Bai Jiu was puzzled: "What's the matter?" ”

Lu Yu asked, "Do you belong to the Ling Sect disciples now?" ”

Bai Jiu didn't hesitate, and said directly: "The mountain has been climbed, but Lingmen can't enter yet." ”

Lu Yu was puzzled: "Why?" ”

Bai Jiu briefly said the last thing in Zhushan, and then sighed: "I haven't figured it out yet. And lately, I have something to do. ”

Lu Yu first smiled: "The words of the saint are difficult to fathom. Then he asked seriously: "I'm more curious, what will be the things you are going to do during this time?" ”

Bai Jiu glanced at the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile: "The question I care about is always very real, that is, this glass of wine"

The terrace was lit up with dim light, and the interior was bright.

Lu Yu put the glass in his hand on the table, then picked up the wine jug, and after being silent for a moment, he said softly: "This room is where I met Brother Tang, every time we come here, we will drink two new pots of wine first, and if we don't finish the wine, no one will speak." Brother Tang seems to be a scholar, but in fact, the amount of alcohol is really good. So many times, I haven't been able to drink him once. ”

Saying this, Lu Yu shook his head and sighed; "It's a pity that I don't know that in the future, I haven't had the opportunity to drink like this."

Bai Jiu walked to the terrace with the wine jug, looked at the stars in Yong'an City, and drank slowly.

Lu Yu was surrounded by wine, and so was on the table, he sat in the wine, leaned back in the chair, looked at the scenery outside the window, and drank slowly.

Bai Jiu's amount of wine was very good, and until the two pots of wine were exhausted, he did not have the slightest drunkenness. His gaze withdrew from the night sky, no longer looking at the stars, but turning to the earth, looking at the lights of the city.

Lu Yu's amount of alcohol may be average, although his personality has always been very cheerful, and he belongs to the kind of person who prides himself on pride, but two pots of wine in his stomach, coupled with the previous casual drinking, he is already a little drunk at this time.

There are many kinds of drunkenness, there is the so-called martial drunkenness, that is, to vent the intention of drinking, beating people, kicking trees, and smashing walls, but few people will smash things in the store, because after all, they still have to accompany them. There is also the so-called literary drunkenness, that is, to use the wine to memorize poems and copy words to show off the literary talent, and guests like Yunxi Ju still account for the majority. A sentence of Xiao Er with pen and ink, I don't know what kind of peerless masterpiece there will be, and it was born.

Lu Yu is obviously not this kind of person, although he is from the Heavenly Selection Academy and belongs to the Academy of Martial Arts, but after all, he is the only son of the university scholar Lu Jing, and the education he has received since he was a child is extremely elegant, so he will not be drunk. Of course, he won't get drunk, because Lu Yu doesn't hate literati, but he hates those who are nostalgic when they are not injured and moaning when they are not sick. His drunkenness was strange, his eyes staring at the twinkling morning star in the night sky, gradually brightening, and muttering incessantly.

Bai Jiu looked at him and shook his head with a smile, then sat down again and ate a few bites of food.

Lu Yu's gaze was retracted, he shook the remaining wine in the shaker, then drank it all, and said with a smile: "Brother Bai, do you feel strange?" ”

Bai Jiu asked, "What's strange?" ”

Lu Yu said: "The person who is looking for you to drink hasn't said anything yet, but he got drunk first." ”

Bai Jiu said: "There are some words that you can't say without getting drunk. ”

Drunkenness can strengthen courage, drunkenness can make people not have to think, drunkenness can be without scruples, and drunkenness can say a lot of things that you can't usually say.

Lu Yu laughed, but his expression became serious, and asked, "I want to know about Brother Tang." ”

Bai Jiu was silent for a long time, and then said, "Half and half." ”

Lu Yu suddenly stretched out his hand behind him, and then slapped it heavily on the table, and along with the slap, there was an unsheathed long sword.

"Smack", a bottle of wine on the table was shattered.

There were suddenly a few noises downstairs, and Xiao Er hurriedly apologized.

It turned out that someone was drunk and the flask fell to the ground, causing dissatisfaction among the surrounding diners.

In the middle of the clouds, you can be moderately noisy, but in moderation. You can't even get into a fight because you're drunk, because that's a big price to pay. Among the businessmen who can become bigger and stronger in Yong'an City, which one of them is not the intricate forces behind it, and which one of them can be handled by others.

Soon the sound became quieter, and the building was quiet again.

Half and half are life and death.

"Although we don't belong to the same college, we don't have that kind of friendship. But Brother Tang is my best friend in Yong'an City. ”

"I know."

"Whether it's listening to the night banquet or the hidden dragon test, he's always helping you."

"Brother Lu is the same to me."

"So what I want to know is not half and half."

"What Brother Lu wants to ask, you might as well say it directly."

Lu Yu stared at Bai Jiu's eyes, and said with a serious and cold expression: "Although Brother Tang is not here, the matter is not over yet, what I want is an explanation." ”

Bai Jiu also looked at Lu Yu and asked, "Whose confession?" ”

Lu Yu said: "Someone wants you to die. ”

Bai Jiu did not hesitate and nodded.

Lu Yu said: "Although it is troublesome to kill a student of the Liberal Arts Academy in Yong'an City, it is not impossible. But to kill one of the best students of Qingfeng Academy and the champion of this year's Hidden Dragon Test, the price to be paid is difficult to estimate. No one wants to bear the wrath of Seifu-in or Lingmen, not even Yew Garden. Now it seems that Tang Ling is the way to let you die. ”

Bai Jiu was silent for a moment, and finally did not speak.

Lu Yu continued: "The Criminal Department is just a means of Yew Garden, and the attitude of the Dayu Imperial Court or the emperor towards this matter itself is very strange. ”

Bai Jiu said: "The absence of an attitude is the strangest attitude in itself. ”

Lu Yu said: "They want you to die. ”

The night dome was preceded by bright stars, like the lights of thousands of homes in the city, and like the glow of the night jungle.

Bai Jiu suddenly said: "There is a favor, but you can help or not." I can tell you about it, though. ”

Lu Yu asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Bai Jiu said: "I want to know where the white-faced scholar lives. ”

Lu Yu was puzzled: "The white-faced scholar of Yong'an City? ”

Bai Jiu nodded.

Lu Yu was silent for a moment, as if he was hesitating, and then frowned and said: "He is a senior disciple of my Heavenly Selection Academy, and he has been purified a few years ago, you can't kill him, unless there is a miracle." ”

Bai Jiu said calmly: "Aren't there enough miracles on me? ”

"Killing people is to pay for their lives, not to mention that there are several big people behind him."

"Yes, killing is a matter of life."

The room fell silent, except for the sound of two people drinking.

"So you're really that person."

"Who?"

"People from the Bai family."

"My surname is Bai, and I am naturally from the Bai family."

Lu Yu laughed, the laughter was not loud, but it was full of a sense of understanding and joy. His face was red, his brow was wide open, as if he was drunk, but his eyes were bright, like the immortal stars in the sky at this time.

Bai Jiu was also laughing, he was not drunk yet, and his expression was the same as before, so his laughter was the same, but a little more indifferent.

"There are clear grievances, and these kinds of things are happy."

"Happiness is preceded by misfortune and disaster."

Bai Jiu looked at Lu Yu, raised the wine jug in his hand, and asked with a puzzled look: "Brother Lu, are you still drinking this wine?" ”

His face is very delicate, but his eyebrows are very low, his eyes are very clean, but he rarely smiles. In this way, he seems to be incompatible with the word "youth", but like a man who has gone through the world, an old man in his twilight years.

Lu Yu stopped smiling, then picked up the wine jug beside him, looked at Bai Jiu, and said seriously: "Many people don't understand why Brother Bai is so sad and his eyebrows are so low. Now it seems that the first explanation is the first explanation, and the second is the real experience. ”

"The person who can experience such a catastrophe but create such a miracle, I have seen in my life, you are the first."

"Wine is natural, drink it!"

……………

……………

How many tears is wine in the bowels?

Bai Jiu naturally didn't, he felt that today's wine was a little strange, but he didn't know where the blame was, he thought that Lu Yu would ask him for blame, the Heavenly Choice Academy belonged to the Dayu Imperial Court, and there were many people in the imperial court who wanted him to die.

But what Lu Yu showed was trust.

Trust is really a good thing, it can make people feel better, it can make people feel satisfied, it can make people feel happy. But trust is also a heavy feeling, and that is a sense of responsibility, which is pressure.

Lu Yu believed in Bai Jiu, although the matter in the Tang Tomb was originally a fact. But in the end, his surname is Bai, and Lu Yu is a student of the Chosen Heaven Academy.

Even if the things told to Tang Ling, there may be a certain deviation. However, Lu Yu was still helping, did not change, and chose to trust.

Revenge, fighting against a powerful force with a single blow, and the weak finally defeating a strong enemy with unremitting efforts, such a thing is naturally enjoyable.

However, as it is written in the book, people always have a helper, although the strong are lonely, but in the process of becoming strong, loneliness will make people harder.

No one in this world is alone, even the Empress Xili has her own national teacher, Guang'an Zhenren.

Bai Jiu knew that he still had a long way to go, and his lowered brows were not really sad, but the pressure that had not yet been stretched.
