Chapter 225: Drinking until drunk
The wine and food were quickly served, although it was only five dishes, but the quantity was very sufficient, the taste was good, and the wine was also a good wine, no wonder Shi Ah would bring it here.
After the third round of wine, Shi A suddenly untied the sword at his waist, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Ma Fan.
Ma Fan said: "Brother Shi, what do you mean?"
Shi Adao: "I heard Master Tong say that this sword was given to him by Brother Ma that day, and I have also heard that Brother Ma intends to let Master Tong give this sword to your senior brother Zhao Yun. ”
Ma Fan said: "I didn't expect the teacher to say these things to you, it seems that Brother Shi and my teacher can talk quite well." ”
Shi Adao: "Yes! I have benefited a lot from Master Tong's guidance in those days. ”
Hearing Shi A's words, Ma Fan thought of Tong Yuan's teachings, and then thought of the separation of yin and yang now, and he was not in a good mood, but he didn't say anything, picked up a big bowl of wine and dried it in one gulp.
At this time, Shi Ah arrived: "Before Master Tong left, he said that Senior Brother Zhao's main focus was on spearmanship, and this sword would definitely not be much when it was used by his subordinates, but it was a little buried, so he gave me this sword." Master Tong thinks that I am a natural swordsman and is the most suitable for this sword, but how dare I stand such love.
Over the years, I have also been looking around the hall for Brother Zhao's whereabouts, and some time ago I heard that there was a person under Yuan Shao who was somewhat similar to Senior Brother Zhao, and I asked someone to verify it, and once it was determined that that person was really him, he personally sent this sword. Now that I met Brother Ma today, I don't think I need to bother, so let's return this sword object to its original owner here!"
If Shi A only said the previous words, Ma Fan would still wonder if Tong Yuan asked Shi A to send this sword to Zhao Yun before he died, and Shi A secretly put it away and used it. Now that he saw that Ma Fan was coming, he made up a lie and said that Tong Yuan had changed his mind before he died.
However, since Shi A was able to tell Yuan Shaolai, Ma Fan was able to affirm that Shi A was telling the truth, because Ma Fan knew that Zhao Yun should be under Yuan Shao at this time, if he didn't really have the heart to give this sword to Zhao Yun, but chose to be greedy for this sword, he couldn't tell Yuan Shaolai at all.
You must know that now that Zhao Yun's reputation is not obvious, he can say that Yuan Shao doesn't know how much effort Shi A spent to find out, and Ma Fan can't help but pay more attention to Shi A's ability, in such an era, to be able to hall the whereabouts of such an infamous person, and also across the state, Shi A's energy is really not ordinary.
After Ma Fan determined Shi A's character, he knew that such a person should not make up a lie like Tong Yuan's gift of a sword to coax himself, so he smiled and said: "Since it is the teacher's decision before his death, then I must respect his decision, and I also think that this sword is the most suitable in the hands of Brother Shi, Brother Shi If I am a brother, please put this sword away!"
Shi A looked at Ma Fan, and then bowed: "What kind of virtue and ability can I Shi A have, to be so valued by your master and apprentice." Since Brother Ma said so, then I will accept this sword, but I also have a sword to give to my brother in a few days, and I hope that my brother will not shirk when the time comes. ”
Ma Fan thought that Shi A would not give away any good swords, if there was really a good sword, he would not need Tong Yuan to give him the sword sent by Ma Fan, but seeing that he was so serious, he also felt that this person could be handed over, so he smiled and said: "When the time comes, the younger brother will definitely accept it." ”
When Shi A saw Ma Fanying, he also thought to himself in his heart: "Look at this Ma Fan, he is not very old, but his bearing is extraordinary. It was already a very rare generosity to give such a sword to Tong Yuan that day, but Tong Yuan wanted to compete with my teacher that day, and he needed an extraordinary weapon, and as an apprentice, it was reasonable for him to give such a sword.
Although this was Tong Yuan's intention that day, after all, no one testified to the words of my family, and the two of us had a hostile relationship that day, so no one else would believe this kind of words. Although I don't know if he believed it or not, I returned this sword today, and I could see that he was also very interested in this sword, but he still resolutely gave it up and gave it to me. This magnanimity alone is really an amazing character. ...,
Such a character is also worthy of my Shi A's friendship, and such a character is worthy of the Chixiao Sword that I finally got out of the palace by taking advantage of the chaos.
Anyway, since he should accept the sword I gave him today, then I don't have to say anything, and I will directly send the Chixiao Sword over another day, and he will know that I don't need to lie to him, and I won't take advantage of him. ”
Thinking of this, Shi A-Shui picked up a bowl of wine and said, "Come, brother, we won't get drunk tonight!"
Ma Fan also said: "Okay, we won't get drunk and won't return!"
After a conversation just now, most of the knots in the hearts of the two people are estranged, and they both think that the other party is a friend of the person, although the drinking at the moment does not seem to be much different from the front, but in fact it is very different, at first it was a lot of false politeness, but at the moment it is really happy, because I want to get drunk when I meet a confidant.
Ma Fan and Shi A drank until the evening before leaving the small hotel, because neither of them used their true qi to melt the wine, so they were both drunk, but Ma Fan's alcohol volume was a cut worse than Shi A, and he was very drunk, and he needed Leng Yumo's support to walk steadily.
Seeing that they were able to eat a meal for so long, and they obviously had the strength to easily dissolve this bit of wine, but they didn't do it, the two of them who were so drunk that they staggered, Leng Yumo, who had been cultivating on the mountain since childhood, didn't understand such behavior, but who let her be a maid now, so she had to obediently help Ma Fan to walk forward.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way...... The cavalry captain is back, and the miscellaneous people and others are dodging away!"
As soon as the three of them walked out of the complicated alley and entered the main street, two fast horses suddenly galloped towards them, and immediately the knights were fierce and vicious, and drove them all the way. The originally well-organized Linzi Street was immediately chaotic, and the crowd screamed, taking advantage of the fact that there was no curfew, selling some snacks and gadgets to earn some money before the peddlers and pawns rushed to avoid.
"Ride...... Riding Lieutenant...... This...... Be...... What the...... The official is very big...... Is it ......? So...... Arrogant. Ma Fan, who was so drunk, asked intermittently.
"This cavalry lieutenant should be the original Ding Yuan's righteous son, and now Dong Zhuo's godson, although his official position is not high, he is very arrogant, and he has been like this for a long time, and he is like this every day. Brother, you are also Dong Zhuo's subordinate, why don't you even know him?!" Although Shi A was also so drunk that his speech was a little slurred, he spoke quite coherently.
"Original...... Come...... Be...... Lu Bu...... That guy, brother...... I...... Early...... Look at him...... Unpleasant...... It's early...... A few days...... Only...... I want to teach him a lesson, but I just ...... Be...... No chance, I didn't expect it...... Today...... At...... This meets ......"
