Dengzhou capital.

In the residence of Wang Ke.

Inside the study.

A light like a bean.

The slightly flickering light reflected Wang Ke's tall figure.

Now.

The time is fast to three watches.

Wang Ke still held a copy in his hand, reading it carefully.

Squeak......

At this time.

The door was gently pushed open.

Guo Xiaoke, the commander of the guards, walked in quickly.

"Lord!"

He clenched his fists and said in his mouth.

"What?"

Wang Ke raised his head slightly and asked.

Guo Xiaoke said: "Lord, the gift for Old Madam Qin, the last general has already been selected, I don't know when to leave?"

When Wang Ke heard this, he bowed his head slightly, and then asked, "What is the birthday of the old lady?"

Guo Xiaoke replied: "Judging from Brother Qin's invitation, it should be five days later."

Wang Ke nodded and said, "In that case, let's change our clothes tomorrow and set off."

When Guo Xiaoke heard this, he showed a look of embarrassment on his face, and said in a low voice: "Lord, there will be a sentence at the end, I don't know whether to say it or not?"

Wang Ke smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? If you have something to say, say it! ”

Guo Xiaoke said: "The last general thinks that the lord should not go to the birthday banquet of Mrs. Qin."

"Why?"

Wang Ke raised his eyebrows and asked.

Guo Xiaoke said: "This time the lord came to exterminate the green forest cottage, and among Brother Qin's close friends, there are many people in the green forest, if the lord goes, I am afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble...... Besides, there are many people at the birthday banquet, and if someone pokes this matter out, I am afraid that it will attract criticism from the DPRK and China, and please think twice. ”

"Huh! I'm going to go with my heart and soul, but I'm afraid of any accident for him? What's more, now that the Son of Heaven is in the court, what kind of young people dare to chew on the root of their tongue at me? Brother Xian is thinking too much......"

Wang Ke listened to Guo Xiaoke's words, smiled slightly, and spoke.

In fact.

If it is placed on ordinary people.

Guo Xiaoke's suggestion is indeed very correct.

But Wang Ke is familiar with the context of the timeline and knows that the Sui Dynasty regime will not be long, so where is he afraid of any criticism?

Thereupon.

He understated and replied casually.

"This ......"

Guo Xiaoke wanted to say something more.

Wang Ke waved his hand, and then said: "Okay, brother Xian, let's go and prepare gifts, let's go straight to Licheng County to pay respects at the original time."

When Guo Xiaoke heard this, he bowed slightly, so he could only bow and leave.

Next.

It was just dawn.

Wang Ke, Guo Xiaoke, and Mai Tiezhu led a hundred entourages, with gifts, out of the gate of Dengzhou Mansion, and went straight to the city and county.

……

"Meet Second Brother Shan!"

"Meet Second Brother Shan!"

Licheng County.

Jia's house.

The shopkeeper Jia Shunfu and the bookkeeper Liu Zhouchen bowed their hands together and saluted Shan Xiongxin, who had just arrived.

Shan Xiongxin laughed, stretched out his hand, helped the two of them up, and asked, "The two virtuous brothers don't need to be polite, I don't know where the second brother Qin is?"

Jia Shunfu said: "Second Brother Qin is accompanying the old lady at home, and after a while, I will go to inform the second brother that the second brother has arrived."

Shan Xiongxin waved his hand and said, "Eh! This is not necessary, since Second Brother Qin is accompanying the old lady, it should be us to visit. ”

Speaking of which.

He then asked, "I heard that Second Brother Qin lives in Zhuanzhu Alley, I don't know where Zhuanzhu Alley is?"

Jia Shunfu said with a smile: "Zhuzhu Lane is very famous in our Licheng County because of Second Brother Qin...... If the second brother wants to go, he will accompany you in a while. ”

Shan Xiongxin laughed and said, "Okay, good! That's good! ”

Afterwards.

Na Jia Shunfu asked Liu Zhouchen to arrange a place for Shan Xiongxin and others to live - a quadrangle house in the West Cross Courtyard, and there were no other guests in the courtyard, which saved unnecessary trouble.

After placing many brothers in the upper room, Shan Xiongxin took off his clothes, changed into civilian clothes, and talked to Jia Shunfu for a while, and then said: "Now that the arrangements are complete, let's go to Zhuzhu Lane?"

Jia Shunfu agreed, and then asked Liu Zhouchen to watch the restaurant, while he took Shan Xiongxin and others and went straight to Zhuanzhu Alley.

……

The words are divided into two ends.

Let's say that Na Luo Cheng went all the way, lived at night, slept in the open air, and finally came to the west gate of Licheng County.

After entering the city.

While inquiring, they moved forward, and soon came to the outside of Zhuzhu Alley.

Just arrived at the door of the alley.

Two men in robes greeted them and asked Luo Cheng and the others, "Are you here to celebrate your birthday?"

Luo Cheng nodded and said, "Exactly!"

One of the two men smiled and said, "I see! In the next is the second brother Qin's best friend, this place is Zhuzhu Lane, and the guests are invited to get off the horse. ”

Luo Cheng smiled slightly, then beckoned everyone to dismount, and walked inside.

"Huh! Guests and slow ......"

saw Luo Cheng go straight inside.

The two men hurriedly stopped him.

"What's wrong?"

Luo Cheng raised his eyebrows and asked.

One of the men asked, "Your Excellency is a hero of the Green Forest?" I don't know where it was copied? ”

"Huh?"

When Luo Cheng heard this, his heart was suddenly displeased: "Young master, young master of the palace, you asked me what kind of cottage person I am?" Really gave birth to a pair of dog eyes! ”

Come to mind.

A smile appeared on his face, and he whispered, "Come here, I'll tell you quietly."

Those two men were none other than Qin Qiong's best friends - Fan Hu and Lian Ming.

These days.

Because there are many heroes who come to pay their respects.

Qin Qiong invited them to serve as intimate guests and guided everyone to live and sit separately.

And now.

Fan Hu and Lian Ming, seeing that Luo Cheng and others were carrying a large number of gifts, dozens of fast horses, and even carrying blades, thought that they were heroes of the green forest, so they asked this question to assign positions and avoid conflicts between them and official figures.

At this moment.

Seeing Luo Cheng, let them move forward.

The two of them didn't know what to do, so they walked up in a daze, and listened to what Luo Cheng had to say.

Syllable!

Syllable!

Unexpectedly.

The cheeks of the two of them just came together.

Na Luo Cheng shot suddenly, as fast as lightning, and immediately gave the two of them a slap.

That Fan Hu was in pain, raised his head, and was about to have a seizure, but was grabbed by Luo Cheng again, snapped, and hit him a few times.

Seeing this, Lian Ming hurriedly turned around and ran into Zhuanzhu Alley, preparing to report to Qin Qiong.

This time.

Qin Qiong was at home, talking with Mrs. Qin and his wife Jia.

That Lian Ming ran in and said loudly: "Second brother, Fan Hu and I let people beat me!"

As soon as I heard this.

Qin Qiong suddenly stood up and asked, "Who hit you?"

Lian Ming said: "At that time, Fan Hu and I were standing at the entrance of the alley to welcome guests, and dozens of horses came to the west, among which there was a young leader...... It's a strong and domineering one! ”

"Young man?"

Qin Qiong listened to Lian Ming's description and was slightly stunned.

Immediately, he seemed to remember something, and then he said, "What is the appearance of the person who hit you?"

Lian Ming replied: "With a white face, he was born very handsome."

Qin Qiong nodded slightly, and asked again: "You are also wearing a white robe, and there is a spear hanging on the war horse?"

Lian Ming nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, it's this person!"

Qin Qiong smiled bitterly and said to Lian Ming: "This is Luo Cheng, the young master of the king of Beiping, you ask him if he is a character from the cottage, with his character, he naturally has to do it......"

Speaking of which.

He turned around and arched his hand to Old Madam Qin and said, "Mother, it's Cousin Luo Cheng who has arrived."

When Old Madam Qin heard this, she immediately smiled, and said to Qin Qiong: "Okay, good!" I'm going to get him in and let me have a good look!" ”

"Yes!"

Qin Qiong nodded, agreed, followed Lian Ming, and went straight to the mouth of Zhuan Zhu Alley.
