Zeng Shu accompanied Ye Mengde because he was worried about what Ye Mengde would think, and now he saw that Ye Mengde's realm far exceeded his own assessment; Ye Mengde was also calm, since he lost in this competition, he would admit the result; Taiyuan Mansion is now the base camp of the Dingbei Army, Ye Mengde didn't think he had wronged himself, and smiled: "The farewell banquet arranged by Yang Zhi in the evening won't be famous, right?"

Zeng Shu said with a smile: "It's a bit famous, Yang Shuai didn't arrange anyone else, he just saw off the adults alone, and even Zhu Wu didn't invite him, so he must be ready to say something confidant to the adults." ”

Confidant words, only between the most sincere friends, the relationship between Ye Mengde and Yang Zhi has not been so good; things must be opposed, Yang Zhi is afraid that what he wants to say is what he does not want to hear; the smile on Ye Mengde's face suddenly disappeared, and he asked in a low voice: "If King Yun knows about this, will he guess what we are talking about, and will he think that Yang Zhi and I are singing double reeds." ”

Zeng Shu smiled faintly, he knew that Ye Mengde didn't need to give any answers, with Ye Mengde's officialdom experience, if he couldn't understand Yang Zhi's intentions, how could he believe himself as an outsider. However, Zeng Shu was not worried that it was a Hongmen banquet, with Ye Mengde's identity, Yang Zhi would not go to set up any Hongmen banquet, it was more likely that Yang Zhi wanted to persuade Ye Mengde to stand on his side. Zeng Shu thought for a while and said, "The crux of the matter is whether adults can refuse not to go." ”

Ye Mengde also understood that he couldn't help but go, what he needed in the officialdom was reconciliation, and he participated in the assassination of Yang Zhi in the past, and now the Dingbei Army hopes that Yang Zhi will abandon his previous suspicions; in this case, if he doesn't go, he will be considered that he has a feud with Yang Zhi, and he is unwilling to reconcile, and he will be criticized by many people in the future. Ye Mengde couldn't afford this kind of responsibility, so he could only go to the banquet.

When Ye Meng got the fish and sheep fresh wine shop, he looked at the situation at the door of the wine shop and on the street, and knew that Yang Zhi had arrived; there were several times more pedestrians and vendors on the street, although there were no soldiers with armor patrolling, but there were more than half of the strangers of all kinds sitting at the door of the wine shop. Ao De and Shan Tingjue, who were on guard downstairs, saw Ye Mengde, and both greeted him, Ye Mengde looked upstairs and asked, "How long has Yang Shuai been here?"

Shan Tingqi replied loudly: "Yang Shuai has been here for a while, and he has chartered the third floor, and there are many customers on the second floor today, Yang Shuai just took the opportunity to appease a few words, indicating that after Lord Zhang Xiaochun came, everything will not change much, and there is no need to change the business arrangement because of worry." ”

Ye Mengde sighed secretly in his heart, what he was worried about finally happened, Yang Zhi's appeasement contained too many meanings, what was going on, only the person who talked to could understand it, looking at Yang Zhi's posture Zhang Xiaochun had a hard time in the future; Ye Mengde knew that he couldn't change Yang Zhi's mind, and said with a reluctant smile: "Yang Shuai bothered, after all, it was the Transshipment Division that failed to fulfill its responsibilities. ”

Shan Tingqi bowed his head and said: "My lord's words are serious, Yang Shuai said, and I hope that my lord will help Shaanxi a lot in the future." Please come with me, sir. ”

Shan Tingqi said what the scene said, Ye Mengde smiled and nodded, signaling Shan Tingju to lead the way; the two went up to the third floor under the gaze of the diners; Yang Zhi obviously heard the footsteps of the two, and quickly ended the conversation in the house, a businessman nodded and withdrew, saluted Ye Mengde and the two, and walked downstairs quickly. Yang Zhi had already followed behind to greet him, and said with a big smile: "Lord Ye's appreciation of the light really makes the fish and sheep fresh and shining." ”

Yang Zhi's smile was very sincere, as if the two of them had never had a problem, as if they had not driven Ye Mengde away by themselves at all; Ye Mengde returned the courtesy: "Yang Shuai invited, how could Ye not come." ”

Yang Zhi turned sideways and invited Ye Mengde to go in, and Shan Tingqi went downstairs by himself; Ye Mengde walked into the box and saw that the wine and dishes were all placed on the table of the Eight Immortals, the four cold dishes were cold jellyfish, white-cut mutton, braised beef, salted duck, and the wine was the restaurant's signature bamboo leaf green. Yang Zhi has set up three well-known properties in Hedong, including Zhuye Qingjiu Factory.

Bamboo leaf green wine is not Yang Zhi's originality, as early as the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was rice wine and bamboo leaves to make a blended wine, the Northern Zhou Dynasty Yuxin has "three spring bamboo leaf wine, a song of Kun chicken strings" good sentence, bamboo leaf green wine workshop has long existed; Snowflake white sugar is brewed, the wine color is golden and transparent with a slight green, the aroma is mellow, the entrance is sweet and slightly bitter and mild, and the aftertaste is endless after a sip.

Ye Mengde and Yang Zhi sat down at the same time, and said with a smile: "I have long heard that when Yang Shuai came in person, the dishes in the wine shop were different from usual, and today is considered to be an insight." ”

Yang Zhi smiled and said: "I don't dare to eat the fresh dishes of fish and sheep, I was too busy a while ago, I thought of a few new dishes these days, come, Lord Ye tasted, this salted duck is added with osmanthus, using a mountain spring; ”

Ye Mengde is also a glutton, so he naturally knows that what Yang Zhi said is true, and said with a smile: "Yang Shuai has a unique eye, and he is really a blessing for foodies." ”

Both of them are smart people, and the following talk is about local customs and anecdotes of the government and the field; there are eight hot dishes with four meat and four vegetarian dishes, the meat dishes are fried prawns, sweet and sour pork ribs, green onion carp, and sauced lamb tongue, and the vegetarian dishes are tofu and radish plus two kinds of wild vegetables that have just come out.

"I have no intention of sowing discord between you and Taiyuan. Yang Zhi ate a piece of sheep's tongue and continued, "If you want to do something in Qinzhou, you must get the secret help of Taiyuan, and Taiyuan can't help you unconditionally; ”

Ye Meng suddenly had an epiphany, his pattern was still small, he only saw the back of his shoes, and he didn't see that he was involved in the struggle between King Yun and King Jing. Ye Mengde said strongly: "Yang Shuai, you are very patient in the face of ill-intentioned opponents. ”

Yang Zhi let out a long breath, "Lord Ye, do you understand?"

Ye Mengde understood that Yang Zhi was going to take the opportunity to set off a bloody storm and hit his opponent hard, and at the same time, he would definitely deal a heavy blow to his own people; Yang Zhi was reminding himself that he should be prepared to take some people away.
