Chapter 10: All-you-can-drink

Walking out of the woods, along the foot of Dangshan Mountain, everyone slowly went west, and soon, a small thatched pavilion appeared in front of them, Liu Bang was a greedy person, and his alcohol addiction was surging, and he couldn't help laughing and said: "Brother Xiangzhuang today, save my life, according to the habits of our Chu people, I should have drunk and thanked each other." ”

Liu Bang pointed to the thatched pavilion not far ahead, and said with a smile: "There is Daze, there is a thatched pavilion, let's go there to drink two cups, and then it's not too late to hurry." ”

Xiang Zhuang wanted to refuse, but Liu Bang enthusiastically held Xiang Zhuang and walked to the Maoting Pavilion, the two were helpless, Zhang Budo instructed the accompanying men to take care of the horses, and walked to the Maoting with Xiang Zhuang.

In the pavilion, an old woman was busy, and when she saw the three of them entering, the old woman put down the work in her hand and greeted her, her voice was slightly hoarse: "I don't know what the three guest officers want?" ”

"Let's pan shu, two catties of wild boar, three pots of wine." Liu Bang said with a smile.

The old woman wiped the table with a rag and turned to leave, at this time, Liu Bang looked at the back of the old woman and said with a smile: "Every time I escort prisoners, I will come here for a drink, and after drinking, I am full of energy, and I can travel miles a day without feeling tired." ”

The three of them all laughed, and after a while, the old woman put the wine and food on the table in turn, and said with a smile in that hoarse voice: "A few guest officers use it slowly." ”

The old woman left, Liu Bang hurriedly poured a glass of wine each, and said with a smile: "I salute everyone." ”

Under the thirty years of drinking, Liu Bang and Zhang Budo were both drunk, but for Xiang Zhuang, who practiced martial arts, he had a slight immunity to alcohol, and he didn't feel anything about it, but at this time, Liu Bang sighed with the strength of the wine: "Thinking back to the Chu State back then, how powerful it was, and the fertile fields were thousands of miles, and now, the Qin State is unified, and the prisoners who transport Liyang every year are countless, and they also give orders every time, so that we can't delay the journey, and if we are delayed, we will be beheaded." ”

When Liu Bang said this, he took a big sip of wine, and said: "It's not easy for us to wade through mountains and rivers to Xianyang, and they still have to do this to us!" ”

Xiang Zhuang saw that Liu Bang was talking more and more disagreeable, so he had to nudge him, but Liu Bang was a little drunk, talking nonsense, and couldn't stop at all, and he talked nonsense for a while before he began to pour wine into his mouth, at this time, Zhang Budo sighed lightly, looked at Liu Bang, and asked: "Why don't Brother Liu resign from the position of pavilion chief and farm in the countryside, or come out to do some business?" ”

Liu Bang was already drunk at this time, and his words were blurred, so he only roared angrily: "The old // son has just married a wife, food, clothing, housing and transportation, I need to run around, how can I have spare money to do business?" What's more, the taxes of the Qin Dynasty are increasing year by year, and if you farm the land, you will starve to death sooner or later! ”

Another big sip, Liu Bang's wine pot was empty, just wanted to turn around to ask for wine, was stopped by Xiang Zhuang, Zhang Budo saw that Liu Bang and himself did not speculate at this time, and no longer said more, the two helped Liu Bang, left a few copper coins, and walked out of the pavilion.

。。。。。。

The sun is setting, the city gate of Yu County, half an hour, will be closed, Liu Bang has also sobered up at this time, but the double // legs are still a little disobedient, at this time, it is not far from Yu County, knowing that the two are going to Yu County to stay at night, Liu Bang had to get off the horse and say goodbye to the two: "Drinking today, I have a little gaffe, and the two virtuous brothers should not be blamed." ”

"Brother Liu is a man of temperament, we don't care." Xiang Zhuang said with a smile.

Zhang Budo also smiled and said: "If Brother Liu doesn't give up, you might as well enter the city, live with us, and go back tomorrow." ”

"Brotherly friendship, I understand it in my heart, but the way to Liyang is far away, we can't delay on the way, otherwise we miss the date, and we will lose our heads." Liu Bang made a neck-cutting gesture and said with a wry smile: "He has a chance one day, you two come to Fengxiang, I have a brother, who is well-known for making dog meat, and when the time comes, I will invite you two to drink." ”

The person Liu Bang refers to must be Fan Xu, he is a famous butcher in Fengxiang and a famous general in the Han Kingdom, but Xiang Zhuang didn't want to break it, so he only smiled and said: "Then it's a word, Brother Liu, the gate of Yuxian County is about to close, let's say goodbye." ”

。。。。。。

After a few rounds ......of drums, the city gate of Yuxian City slowly closed, and the soldiers in charge of guarding the city closed the city gate, and each returned to his post, holding a big go, standing guard.

Not far away, Xiang Zhuang who had just entered the city, Zhang Budo and others walked in the street, the night was coming, there were very few pedestrians in the street, and soon, the two found an inn, the guys tied the horses to the horse stake, Xiang Zhuang carried the red shadow and the Yansun bow, Zhang Budo's men helped carry the horse bag, and the four people came to the inn.

"Boss, do you have a room?" Zhang Budo asked loudly, and soon, an old man came out and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, how many guest officers are there?" ”

"Give me three rooms, four side dishes and two jugs of wine, and we've been on the road for a day, and we're hungry." Zhang Budo said, walked to an empty table and sat down, Xiang Zhuang also came to the opposite side and sat down, two guys, standing on both sides, Zhang Budo looked at the guys, and said with a smile: "Sit down, go out, don't be so particular." ”

Soon, the wine and food came up, Zhang Budo lifted the pot, poured wine for Xiang Zhuang, and the two drank a glass of wine, at this time, Zhang Budo said with a smile: "Brother Xiang, what do you think, how is Liu Bang?" ”

Xiang Zhuang didn't expect that Zhang Budo would suddenly ask Liu Bang, thought for a moment in his heart, and couldn't help sneering, Liu Bang is the same as a ruffian, but he has a flexible mind and is good at making some cleverness, and he didn't take it to heart, but judging from today's conversation with Liu Bang, this person seems to be extremely concerned about national affairs, and he can actually analyze from his name that he is Xiang Yan, after all, this person also has some ability.

On the side, Zhang Budo saw that Xiang Zhuang did not answer him, so he couldn't help asking: "Brother Xiang...... Brother Xiang...... What do you think again? ”

Interrupted by Zhang Budo's contemplation, Xiang Zhuang raised his wine glass, took a sip, and said with a smile: "What do you think of this person?" ”

"I think Liu Bang is too pompous and not worthy of deep friendship." Zhang Budo also took a sip and said with a smile.

The two had the same opinion, and Xiang Zhuang couldn't help laughing dumbly, "In the future, you will see what kind of person Liu Bang is." ”

。。。。。。

At night, Xiang Zhuang and Zhang Budo drank a lot of wine, and talked a lot, about a watch, Xiang Zhuang returned to his room, at this time, the moon has hung high in the sky, push open the window, Xiang Zhuang leaned on the windowsill, looking at the night outside the window, the ancient night, extraordinarily dark, so that the stars in the sky become particularly bright.

It's been almost half a month since I left the next minister, I don't know the second uncle, Brother Yu, Long Ji, Ji Bu, are they all okay? Third Uncle Xiang Bo, it's time to rush back to the next phase with his younger brother Xiang You at this time, right? How nice it would be if the family was reunited.

Thinking like this, Xiang Zhuang's thoughts couldn't help but fall on Cao Feng, this little girl has never met since the last time she came to the next phase with Uncle Cao, in the blink of an eye, she has been walking around Xiapi, I don't know, will she go to the next phase during this time, if she goes, will she think of herself?

If she knew that in the near future, the Xiang family would move to Huiji, I don't know, how would she feel, would she go to Huiji to find herself, thinking like this, Xiang Zhuang didn't know why, a trace of sadness and loneliness in his heart.

The idea shifted from Cao Feng to Liu Bang again, what will be the fate of this later hero Liu Bang?

Xiang Zhuang really can't remember how he built a strong Han State and how he went to prosperity, but Liu Bang relied on his tyrant Zhang Liang to enter Guanzhong before Xiang Yu, which no one can change.

I have come to this era for more than ten years, and the memory of the future generations has gradually become blurred, I really don't know, in a few years, will I remember that I was once an unlucky boy from the next generation......

。。。。。。

Suiyang, located north of the Sui River, is a large county town and the seat of Dangjun.

Half a month's trip, Xiang Zhuang, Zhang Budo and others finally came to Suiyang City, the city wall is towering into the clouds, the flag is planted on it, the Qin soldiers are holding Dage, staring into the distance, on the wide city gate, a huge plaque, which is engraved with three words Suiyang City with a small seal.

And under the city, on both sides of the city gate, there are giant deer, behind the giant deer, is the place where the Suiyang defenders patrol, and there are also many Qin troops holding big ge, checking passers-by.

Xiang Zhuang and the others stayed in the distance for a while, rode their horses, and headed towards Suiyang City, as long as they escorted Zhang Budo to Suiyang, their task would be completed, and Xiang Zhuang felt a sense of relief at this time.

"Who? Hold it! Several Qin soldiers quickly surrounded Xiang Zhuang and the others, and a young officer in leather armor squinted at Xiang Zhuang and the others, and sneered: "The state has regulations, and the people are not allowed to cast weapons privately, this is a ban!" ”

After the young officer finished speaking, he couldn't help but look at Xiang Zhuang's horses, a sword, a bow, and five or six feathered arrows, is this a blatant resistance to the royal law?

The young officer couldn't help but snort coldly, looked back at the soldiers, and said coldly: "Take them away and hand them over to Lord Sima to decide!" ”

Several soldiers raised their big gees and gathered around, Xiang Zhuang unconsciously held his hand on the hilt of the sword, wanting to wait for the opportunity to move, but Zhang Budo was at this time, Lang smiled and said: "Master Jun, don't be angry, we are from Xiapi, we don't know the rules of your place, please bear with me." ”

Zhang Budo reached out, took out a bag of copper coins from the horse bag, and said with a smile: "The road is treacherous, without weapons, I am afraid of encountering mountain bandits, besides, we are only used for self-defense, and there is no malicious intent, and I hope that the military master Haihan will let us enter the city." ”

The officer took the money bag, turned it upside down, the weight was very large, and couldn't help but smile, "I think you are young and can't afford any wind and waves, today, let you go." ”

The officer turned around and shouted, "Let's go." ”

Seeing the officer gradually walking away, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but scold angrily: "What something! ”

Zhang Budo led the horse and patted Xiang Zhuang on the shoulder with a smile, "These bullying dogs are like this, Brother Xiang, don't take it to heart, it's not early, let's go into the city." ”

。。。。。。

Entering Suiyang City, the wide street came into view, Zhang Budo instructed the men to lead the horse, to book the inn, and he was wandering in the street with Xiang Zhuang, Suiyang City is very large, worthy of being the county of Dangjun, and there are many soldiers patrolling back and forth in the street, not long after, the two came to a small bridge, the clear river flows southward, Zhang Budo said with a smile, after crossing the bridge, it is the right side of the city.

The street is prosperous, there is an endless stream of pedestrians, Xiang Zhuang and Zhang Budo have been walking for half an hour, and when they came to the destination, Zhang Budo pointed to the tall mansion in front of him, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiang, this is Canghai Jun's Mansion." ”

Canghai Junfu? Is this the Canghai Jun who helped Zhang Liang hire dead soldiers back then? After walking a long way, it turned out that they wanted to visit Canghaijun, but judging from Zhang Budo's familiarity with the road, he should have been here more than once, but this time, why did Zhang Budo have to accompany him?
