Chapter 272: Moths

In the golden tent, Qi Yuanlu sat cross-legged on the ground, tore off a leg of mutton that had been roasted golden from the grill, put it to his mouth and gnawed it fiercely.

Even if his hands were full of oil, he didn't care at all.

After eating a leg of mutton, Qi Yuanlu's hand wiped his luxurious clothes nonchalantly and picked up the wine jug beside him. After a grunt, half a catty of wine was already in the stomach.

Then he opened his mouth, showed his snow-white teeth, showed a proud expression of satisfaction, let out a long breath, and couldn't help but praise: "Good wine!" ”

A middle-aged man in his forties, dressed as a scribe, quietly held a pair of tongs and occasionally flipped the coals under the grill.

"Is this going to be a drink?"

Qi Yuanlu seemed to be unsatisfied, picked up the wine jar and took another sip, and this sip of wine was at least two taels.

"You don't see, Gao Tang Mingjing is sad and white-haired, and the morning is like green silk turning into snow at dusk."

The scribe seemed to be troubled by the three words "will enter the wine", and his face showed a trace of inexplicable sadness.

Qi Yuanlu was unconscious, and laughed: "I like to be happy in life, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon." ”

After speaking, he looked at the bright moon hanging high outside the big tent, raised his head and drank the rest of the wine, and then threw the wine jar out of the tent, only to hear a wave, and the wine jar became torn apart.

After a pound of spirits, Qi Yuanlu's face did not change, and his eyes were still as clear as a rabbit in September.

He looked at the middle-aged scribe: "I don't know how much Mr. Yu knows about this Su Shi?" ”

Yu Liubai looked at the bonfire quietly, but no matter how dazzling the firelight was, it seemed that it could not dispel the shadows under his eyes.

"Sixteen years ago, I went into the grassland alone, and Su Shi was only born at that time, how much can I know about him?"

Qi Yuanlu nodded, as if he thought he was reasonable, but immediately said: "Su Shi has done a lot of unbelievable things in the past month or so, Mr. Yu should have heard of this." ”

Yu Liubai said lightly: "I only know that a person is too sharp, and it is not a good thing after all, and now Su Shi is only afraid that a big disaster is coming." ”

Yu Liubai's judgment was never wrong, so he said that Su Shi was already in great trouble, so Qi Yuanlu no longer took Su Shi to heart, and did not dwell too much on this matter.

He changed his words: "The envoy will enter Beijing in half a month, and Mr. Yu judges whether the emperor of Daqian will agree to make peace this time?" ”

Yu Liubai put down the tongs, looked at Qi Yuanlu, and asked quietly: "Does the khan want Emperor Daqian to agree or not?" ”

Qi Yuanlu didn't answer him, and tore off a large piece of meat from the roast rack, put it in his mouth and chewed it heavily.

Not only were his hands like iron, but his mouth and stomach seemed to be made of molten iron, and the hot flesh had no effect on him at all.

After the mutton was completely swallowed, he grinned and said: "My Fair Lady, good gentleman, I am infatuated with Princess Pingle, and naturally I hope that Emperor Daqian can be an adult." ”

"If Emperor Daqian is willing to make peace, will the Khan still carry out the moth plan?"

The smile on Qi Yuanlu's face gradually disappeared, and he looked at the roaring bonfire, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes: "The moth throws itself into the fire and kills itself." People often say that moths are stupid, but they don't know that everyone in the world is moths. ”

Then he laughed at himself: "You and I are no exception. ”

In the end, Qi Yuanlu said lightly: "The moth plan has been implemented for two years, how can there be any reason to give up halfway." ”

Yu Liubai glanced at Qi Yuanlu deeply, but then picked up the tongs again, turned the fire charcoal, and said slowly: "Su Zhou is back." ”

Qi Yuanlu's face changed slightly: "Shouldn't he stay in Daqian Kyoto and come back this winter?" ”

A trace of worry also flashed in Yu Liubai's eyes: "The reason why Su Shi left the border city and returned to Kyoto is because of Su Shi. Now he is back in the border city because he has no worries. ”

Qi Yuanlu muttered: "It is said that Su Shi has extraordinary insight in business, will he see through our moth plan?" ”

"Khan also said just now that the Moth Project has been implemented for two years, and Su Shi has not seen through it in these two years, so how can he see through this plan in these two or three months."

Qi Yuanlu picked up another jar of wine and took a big sip at the mouth of the altar, his rough face was already a little drunk, and he laughed and said: "To be able to brew such an interesting wine, it seems that this Su Shi is also a very interesting person." I don't know how much he drinks? If he had the opportunity to see this man one day, he would surely drink with him. ”

There was no smile on Yu Liubai's face, but there was a strong uneasiness in his heart.

Su Zhou was also drinking, but after being drunk many times and unconscious, he has now learned to drink with a three-dollar cup, and he drinks very slowly.

The wine glass used by Su Nian was bigger than Su Zhou, but it was not much bigger, and it was only two dollars larger at most.

Ran Lie didn't drink, he knew that as long as he drank, he would be the first to get drunk. But tonight he must stay awake, because Su Nian and Su Zhou will be drunk today.

Now they're five or six minutes drunk.

"Is this wine really made from time? This glass is also made by the time? Su Nian looked at Su Zhou drunk, although his words were questioning, but his face was like a flower.

Su Zhou laughed and said, "If there is no second brother, how can there be such a wine?" Got this crystal clear glass? ”

"So, Shi'er has really grown?" Although Su Nian was satisfied and happy, his tone was still uncertain.

Su Zhou looked at his father and said deliberately: "Now in the capital, I am afraid that the reputation of the second brother is even louder than that of my father." ”

Su Nian couldn't help but laugh out loud, with three points of smugness and seven points of relief in his laughter.

Ran Lie was also laughing, because he hadn't seen Su Nian so happy for a long time.

Su Zhou didn't laugh, but looked preoccupied.

"Why don't you laugh?" Su Nian patted him on the shoulder violently: "You still have to make this kind of sad face." ”

"Because I can't laugh."

Su Nian looked at him strangely: "Your brother is out now, but you can't think of it?" ”

Looking at his father's already gray hair, Su Zhou suddenly felt a little sour in his nose: "Father, you have been guarding the border for many years, don't you want to be a second brother?" Don't you want to go home and check it out? And in a few months, the second brother will get married. ”

Although Su Nian was already six or seven points drunk, he could still keenly feel that his son had a lot of trouble when he came back this time.

"What do you want to say?" Su Nian put down his wine glass and looked at Su Zhou with blazing eyes.

Su Zhou's gaze was evading, and he didn't seem to dare to make any contact with his father's eyes.

He looked at the wine in the cup that was as clear as water but as strong as fire, and said in a low voice: "The second brother misses his father very much, and he really wants to see his father earlier, why doesn't my father ask His Majesty for a decree to return to Beijing as soon as possible to relieve the pain of the second brother's homesickness." ”
