132 [The Ghost Lingers]

Yongjia City has been prosperous for thousands of years, with many restaurants and restaurants, and there are no less than 100 well-known ones, among which Taibai Building and Jingshui Building in Dongcheng are the best.

Jingshui Lou is built along the river, take the meaning of the moon near the water building, every day the guests are full of doors, and there is almost no vacancy during the meal.

There are four private rooms on the third floor, and the gourmets who are not noble enough cannot be booked at all, even the children of the powerful are not easy to oppress people, because the behind-the-scenes owners of this restaurant are said to have extremely hard roots, and may even have something to do with the Heavenly Family.

Lu Shen didn't know the twists and turns in this, he only asked Chen Shu to inquire, and then came to Jingshui Building to book a private room at the door of his own house, and the shopkeeper immediately agreed enthusiastically, and patted his chest to promise Chen Shu that he would prepare a table of the best table.

At noon the next day, the private room named "Poetry Preface" on the third floor of Jingshui Building was full of friends, and the atmosphere was quite warm.

Chen Lanyu, Huo Zhen and He Gui all commanded envoys not to attend the banquet, not because these three people were self-conscious, but because they were summoned to the palace early in the morning and have not yet left the palace, obviously the Son of Heaven has something to discuss with them, so all the young people present today are young people in their twenties and thirties.

After everyone drank the door cup, the new Yingze army commanded Huangfu to pour himself full of wine, and then looked at Lu Shen and said with a smile: "Brother Lu, how much is the amount of wine?" ”

Before entering Beijing, they met by chance at Songyang Station, and the generals of Jingzhou clamored for a contest of alcohol, but Li Bingxue unceremoniously dispelled the idea.

Now that the overall situation has been decided, everyone has been promoted to knighthood, and when it is time to celebrate, as military generals, they can't boast about officials on the street like those scholars, and there is no problem in indulging in booze.

During the banquet, all the generals looked at Lu Shen, he looked at the clear wine in the lamp, and said calmly: "I drink an average amount of alcohol, but Brother Huangfu speaks, I promise to get drunk until I get drunk." ”

"Refreshing!"

Huangfu smiled when he met his eyebrows, and immediately raised the wine cup and said, "Foolish brother will do it first as respect!" ”

He drank a full glass of wine, and then lit up the bottom of the glass.

Lu Shen raised his lamp and drank without thinking, his movements were not as heroic and dry as Huangfu Yu, on the contrary, he drank quite carefully, and almost a few drops of wine leaked out of his mouth.

Everyone applauded, and Liu Yin, the new deputy commander of the Yingze Army, quipped: "Huangfu, you can be compared this time." ”

He is Huangfuyu's old partner, and the two have a tacit understanding in the battle on Moyang Road, and the smooth recovery of Yingze City is their first achievement.

Huangfu Yu wiped the wine on his lips and said angrily: "It's better than you being silent." ”

"Since you say so, then I have to toast Brother Lu."

Liu Yin took advantage of the situation and picked up the wine cup and said to Lu Shen: "Brother Lu, the men in our army are not good at words, but I admire you from the bottom of my heart. If it weren't for your advice this time, our brothers wouldn't have been able to fight happily. I salute you with this glass of wine, everything is in the wine! ”

Lu Shen pondered a little bit at this time, these fierce generals didn't seem to be completely trying to make friends with themselves, why was it a little strange?

Li Bingxue, who was sitting next to him, didn't say anything to stop him today, with a faint smile on his white face, quietly watching everyone fight for wine.

Over there, Liu Yin drank the wine, and Lu Shen had no choice but to raise his glass again.

Liu Yincai had just put down the cup, and another Jingzhou military general sitting on his right hand spoke again: "Brother Lu, we have to drink one." ”

This time, the border army generals entered Beijing, seven people in Jingzhou and five people in Huaizhou, in addition to several generals who were summoned to the palace and Li Bingxue who watched from the wall, there were five generals in Jingzhou, and there were only three people in Huaizhou plus Lu Shen.

Seeing this, Su Zhang, the new commander of the Xunyang Army, joined the battlefield with a wine jug, and said boldly: "I said that the brothers in Jingzhou, it is not a man's act to bully more and less, and if it goes on like this, Brother Lu will have to lie down and leave today." Let's do it this way, let's go three against five, don't get drunk and don't go home! ”

Huangfu Yu smiled loudly, then looked at Li Bingxue and said, "Miss, which side are you on?" ”

In public, these Jingzhou generals will call out Bing Xue with military titles, but at this moment, he calls him the eldest lady, obviously treating Lu Shen and Su Zhang and others as his own.

It stands to reason that Li Bingxue should undoubtedly be on the side of Huangfu Yu and others, so this question is somewhat interesting.

Everyone followed the prestige, only to see Li Bingxue's leisurely expression, and said lightly: "You compare the amount of alcohol, I won't participate, you will all get drunk in a while, and I have to bring someone to send you back." ”

The smile on Huangfu Yu's face became more and more genuine, and he praised it, and then said to Wang Rong, the commander next to him: "You and they are on their side, let's go four against four today, and see who can't hold on and fall first." ”

A vigorous drinking scene began.

As the saying goes, there is no father and son at the wine table, and at first everyone can maintain the superficial etiquette, and when the wine has passed three rounds, the private room shouts like a ghost crying wolf.

In such a noisy environment, Li Bingxue still maintained a calm state of mind, occasionally took a sip or two of the wine cups, and spent most of his time looking at Lu Shen next to him.

She felt that he had a very peculiar temperament, not like a rich boy who was accustomed to the wind and snow in the first nineteen years, but as if he had been in the army from his mother's womb with the ease and calmness of a soldier.

Because of the addition of Su Zhang and others, Lu Shen's pressure was much less, and pouring two large cups of wine in a row almost made him angry.

Looking back at Li Bingxue's smiling face, he picked up the wine cup and said, "Miss Li, I toast you." ”

Li Bingxue glanced at her only half of the cup left, and took the initiative to fill the jug, but she had just reached out to hold the flask when there was a sudden knock on the door of the private room.

Huang Fuyu and the others were still shouting, and the knock on the door was a little louder.

Lu Shen smiled apologetically at Li Bingxue, and then motioned for his soldiers to open the door.

The shopkeeper Li Mo walked in with a smile on his face, followed by two servants, each carrying a tray with several wine jugs on it.

Seeing this, the others temporarily stopped the hustle and bustle, and Lu Shen looked at Li Mo and said, "Shopkeeper Li, could it be that we are making too much noise to other guests?" ”

Li Mo hurriedly bowed down and said cautiously: "Where is this Captain Lu, all of you are heroes and heroes who have made meritorious contributions to the country, and it is my great honor to be able to come to the small shop for a banquet." If it weren't for Captain Lu's refusal, the villain would be willing to close his doors today, just to entertain the generals. ”

Lu Shen and Li Bingxue glanced at each other, and they both had a little realization in their hearts.

After this period of brewing and circulation, these border generals have become somewhat famous in Beijing, and there is no problem with this shopkeeper Li's statement. However, Lu Shen's official position was only confirmed at the court meeting yesterday, and Li Mo had already changed his words in time, which is enough to show that this Jingshui building has a deep relationship in Beijing.

Lu Shen said quietly: "Shopkeeper Li is polite, I don't know what to teach this time?" ”

Li Mo's attitude became more and more respectful: "The owner of the small shop heard that the generals were here, and specially ordered the villain to prepare six pots of treasured good wine, which is a little bit of the shop's heart, and asked the generals to smile." ”

Everyone was in the mood, the atmosphere was warm and interesting, and it was unpleasant to be disturbed suddenly, but considering that this was in the capital, and the other party was also well-intentioned, Huangfu Yu and the others did not have a seizure, but just looked at Li Mo indifferently, hoping that he would be more interested and leave as soon as possible.

"Your surname is Li?" Li Bingxue suddenly asked.

"Yes." Li Mo didn't understand what he meant, and bowed his head in response.

Li Bingxue suddenly laughed, Lu Shen also reacted, looked at the tray held by the little guys behind Li Mo, and said lightly: "We have received the wishes of your host, so there is no need for wine." Even though we come from a poor frontier, we can't even afford to buy wine. ”

Li Mo was slightly stunned, and his expression was slightly bitter.

Huangfu Yu, Su Zhang and the others also realized at this moment that they had nothing to do and were either traitors or thieves, and immediately sneered: "Shopkeeper Li, don't you understand what Captain Lu said?" Hurry away with your people, don't disturb our interest, or I won't bother to pay attention to the holiness behind you. ”

Li Mo was shocked, and when he was in a dilemma, an indifferent voice sounded outside the private room: "This general is so angry, if he wants to put down these wines, do you still want to demolish Jingshui Tower?" ”

Before the words could be spoken, several richly dressed young men walked into the private room.

The first one was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of luxury, although he was just wearing ordinary clothes, his face was full of arrogance and loneliness, as if he did not put any of them in his eyes.

The person who followed him was Li Sanlang Li Yunyi, who had a bit of humility on his face at this moment, which was completely different from the last time Lu Shen saw him in the alum tower.

The other two young men dressed as noble sons looked at the border generals in the room with unkind faces.

Huang Fuyu and the others had never seen Li Yunyi, but from the other party's appearance and bearing, it could be seen that these uninvited guests must be the children of the powerful, and they did not feel afraid because of this, but stood up invariably and looked coldly at the few people who broke in.

Lu Shen looked at Li Yunyi for the first time, and then looked at the young man walking in front of him, and soon had some guesses in his heart.

The Li family can be said to be under one person in Yongjia City, and the influence of Li Daoyan, the left prime minister, at the court meeting is undoubtedly revealed, and Li Yunyi, as the most beloved grandson of the left minister, has always been rampant and domineering in the capital. can make him so low and small, the identity of the young man in front of him is self-evident.

Li Bingxue's reaction quickly confirmed his suspicion.

She got up calmly, her waist was still straight, and she raised her hand and saluted, "I've seen His Royal Highness King Jian." ”

Li Zongjian, the third son of the Heavenly Family, is said to be very loved by the queen.

Li Bingxue obviously reminded others not to be caught by the other party from the mouth.

Although this King Jian can't control the generals of the border army, and the Son of Heaven does not allow him to do this, if Huang Fuyu and others do not choose to say anything after drinking, they will inevitably cause big trouble.

Everyone pressed the unhappiness in their hearts and saluted one after another.

Li Zongjian approached slowly, and first said to Li Bingxue: "Li Duwei doesn't need to be polite, my father often teaches us that the Li family is loyal to serve the country, and the children of the heavenly family must have a sense of respect." ”

Li Bingxue's face was pale and he didn't say much.

Li Zongjian didn't care, turned his head to look at Lu Shen's handsome and slightly wine-colored face, squinted his eyes slightly and said, "You are Lu Shen?" ”
