Jiying Town is on the official road to the capital city of Dingzhou.

Liu Ruiying walked swaying with the people of the Investigation Division.

Speaking of which, this is really the most leisurely time since Liu Ruiying came to Dingxi Wangyu.

This road, counting the one being walked, is the fourth time.

In a short period of time, the people around me have also changed four times.

He deliberately hit the road early so that he could have a lot of time to spend time on the road.

The cold spring has passed, and the warm breeze is like wine at this time, blowing on the face is quite intoxicating.

Liu Ruiying looked around, and it seemed that the scenery in the direction of the Prairie Royal Court was more beautiful.

Now the grassland, the ice and snow are beginning to bloom.

Large swaths of goose-yellow tender green grass buds have been exposed.

Without the disturbance of the sound of horses' hooves running, Liu Ruiying even heard the sound of gurgling water. This is a sign of melting snow and ice.

In the Dingxi royal domain, there is little rain and drought, and this snow water is as precious as gold.

There are already early blooming wildflowers on the roadside, exuding a faint fragrance, and the trees in the forest are pulling out new branches.

Pedestrians on the official road are constantly coming and going, and there is no sense of war. It seems that the arrival of the King of Dingxi and the Xuanya Army has doubled the confidence of the people of Dingzhou.

But no matter how good the scenery is, it will be lacking if you see too much. What's more, the chief of the Qin Mansion beside him was still talking to himself, which made Liu Ruiying a little annoyed.

This guy is like a jack of all trades in Dingzhou. There was nothing he didn't know, nothing he hadn't heard of.

As big as what conquest or policy Huo Wang, the king of Dingxi, had, and which family in the capital of Dingzhou was most afraid of his wife, he knew it clearly.

Based on this alone, he is indeed a qualified head of the Investigation Division.

But when Liu Ruiying asked about Tang Zhongsong, Qin Louchang was a little prevaricating. There was a flicker between the words, as if there was something hidden.

This suddenly made Liu Ruiying lack of interest, quite bored, and couldn't help but speed up the pace of progress.

When they arrived at the capital city of Dingzhou, it was already approaching dusk.

"Chief Qinlou, is there any fun place in this Dingzhou Mansion City?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

"This ...... I don't know what kind of place Liu Xingqi is asking?"

Qin Lou Chang pondered for a moment and opened his mouth to confirm.

As soon as Liu Ruiying heard Lou Chang Qin's rhetorical question, he knew that he would be wrong......

"For example, delicious restaurants, lively markets, etc. ”

"By the way, is there a Xiangteng Inn in the capital of Dingzhou?"

Liu Ruiying asked suddenly.

Somehow, he has a little different feelings for Xiangteng Inn.

In the city of Dingzhou Prefecture, there will be Xiangteng Inn.

Liu Ruiying asked the people of the Investigation Division to return to the station building first, but he was going to go to the Xiangteng Inn in Fucheng.

Lou Chang Qin wanted to accompany him, but he actually wanted to pay for Liu Ruiying, so that he could get acquainted with each other again.

The way to grow friendships between men is simple and straightforward.

If you've ever had a glass of wine with me, you're already an acquaintance.

If you drink heartily with me until midnight, then you are a friend that I recognize enough.

But as long as the two get drunk with each other once, it is impossible to say, this friendship may be much deeper than that of many couples.

After all, there are many people who have different dreams in the same bed, and there are definitely a lot more people who can stick a knife in the ribs of a friend than there are many people who grow old together.

Liu Ruiying declined the kindness of Lou Chang Qin, and walked alone along the market to the Xiangteng Inn.

Walking and walking, I passed by the Liuguang Pavilion and passed by the house of Old Ghost Ye.

The Ryukokan is closed.

Liu Ruiying originally wanted to knock on the door of Old Ghost Ye and go in to say hello.

After all, he broke through the pseudo-earth sect and listened to his teachings.

Although the two are chatting, they already have the reality of master and apprentice.

But thinking of Old Ghost Ye's obedient temper, the outstretched hand couldn't help but retract again.

The last time I was at the Xiangteng Inn in Jiying Town, I stood at the door and looked left and right, but no one cared. Unexpectedly, as soon as I stopped at the door this time, a little second brother immediately ran out of the store to greet him.

He looked down at the official uniform on his body that was still wearing the provincial flag of the Investigation Division, and couldn't help but secretly miscalculate.

Since the murder on the street that day, the Investigation Division went to Jiying Town with the King of Dingxi and the Xuanya Army.

This year, this kind of story is the fastest to spread.

It's not like chasing after the wind, but no one can say it completely. It's all your sentence, and half of my patchwork is pieced together.

Before everyone passes it out, add a little bit of what they come up with in their heads, and then the two pieces of mouth are so righteous that they are more real than the real gold.

It is said that people are as fierce as tigers...... In fact, tigers are not terrible, compared with tigers and these poisonous and black-hearted people, tigers are even more pitiful.

Liu Ruiying has heard from many people in the Investigation Division who have lost their reputation and innocence because of illusory things, and they have no choice but to defend it with death, doesn't it prove that this long tongue is more harmful than a sword?

At this point, Liu Ruiying didn't know how this Dingzhou Mansion Chengzhi compared himself to a demon, but he felt that after sitting down, it seemed that even the voice of the shopkeeper was much quieter.

"What does this adult want, and if you want to come back, why don't I recommend it to you?"

The little second brother poured Liu Ruiying a cup of tea and asked.

"Oh, how did you know I was here for the first time?"

Liu Ruiying was a little surprised.

"Hey...... Your dress is very familiar, and you and the adult, he ...... He doesn't look the same. ”

The little second brother was a little embarrassed and said hesitantly.

"It seems that this Dingzhou Mansion Investigation Division Station is also living a very chic life......

Liu Ruiying thought in her heart.

This time he returned to the capital city of Dingzhou, which was unprecedentedly easy.

The official duties are completed properly, and the cultivation is also full of diligence.

In a good mood, throw out some silver taels at will. asked Xiao Er to buy a table of dishes for him, and specially instructed him to be sure to have a jar of good wine

The shopkeeper personally took out a jar of fifteen-year-old apricot blossom brew from behind, which is the best wine in Dingzhou City, and it is more than ten times more expensive than the rest of the wine.

This apricot blossom brew is quite particular about the materials.

Although there are many apricot trees in Dingxi Wangyu, the apricot blossoms bloom early.

But the apricot blossoms used in this apricot blossom brewing must have seen snow.

That is, when Liu Ruiying and Huo Wang went to Jiying Town that day, they caught up with the cold spring.

See that the snow does not fall, and the cold does not wither.

Only those who meet these two conditions can be used to make this apricot blossom girl.

The brewing water must also be taken from the snow water of this falling snow.

This ensures the best taste.

And the weather, who can say for sure?

Therefore, this apricot blossom brew is a treasure that rich and powerful people in Dingxi are eager for.

The wine brought by the shopkeeper of the Xiangteng Inn was not mixed with a Mercury.

The shopkeeper didn't speak, but just patted the sealing mud with one hand and poured wine for Liu Ruiying.

With this palm alone, Liu Ruiying can see that this shopkeeper is not simple.

The strength is strong, hidden but not hairy, and the tension is moderate. Not to mention cracking the stone, but there is still no problem with breaking a person's vertebrae with one palm.

In the shallow wine cup, in the faint wine soup, there is an apricot blossom quietly floating.

He looked into the jar of wine, good fellow, the ingredients are really sufficient! A jar of wine is actually half a jar of petals.

But the shopkeeper just held the jar and poured wine into the wine cup, no different from ordinary wine customers, but he only poured out an apricot blossom steadily.

This couldn't help but make Liu Ruiying look up to the shopkeeper again.

"This is giving me a bad shot......"

Liu Ruiying secretly speculated.

Now he is no longer as ignorant and coy as he was when he first arrived in Jiying Town, and he will figure out a lot of meanings based on the words and actions of others.

This provincial flag official uniform of the Investigation Division made Xiangteng Inn really pay a lot of attention to himself.

The shopkeeper personally came to serve the wine and pour the wine to save face, and the single palm to seal the mud and the single flower into the wine cup was a euphemistic reminder to himself that even if he was a person from the Investigation Division, he should not make trouble in this Xiangteng Inn.

Liu Ruiying didn't have so many thoughts, he just wanted to relax and relax when he came here today, after all, it was rare and so leisurely. I don't care about it at the moment, I just think this Xiangteng Inn is getting more and more interesting.

The dish arranged for him by the second brother was really unusual, there was only one ......

A chick, evenly fattened and thin, plucked carefully.

The texture of the flesh is tight, and the whole body is as delicate and warm as white jade.

The knife work is neat, and the pieces are stacked on the plate, which is very lifelike.

This kind of ingredient processing is the most real.

Steaming is not like stir-frying, and you can't even store a little fishy smell.

The cook was afraid that the journey from the back hall to the front of the table would scatter the aroma and delay the taste. He actually moved out a stove and mixed the dipping sauce and oil next to the table.

Then with a flick of his wrist, he threw a "zila!" sound on the sliced chicken nuggets.

The white meat is served with red oil, and the pale yellow chicken skin is decorated with a few green onions.

At the end, I extinguished the hearth and put away the fried scoop, but I took out another plan board, chopped a small half bowl of minced garlic with "da-da-da", and prepared it with a few drops of autumn oil and a little old vinegar.

As soon as Xiao Er put the bowl of dipping sauce on the table, the cook nodded slightly to Liu Ruiying, and then walked back to the back hall quickly.

Liu Ruiying picked up a piece of chicken, and deliberately chose the bottom layer of the plate, the picture shows that it is full of soup.

Liu Ruiying doesn't like to eat garlic, but when he saw the delicate small bowl on the table, he thought of the chef's superb knife work, but he felt a little sorry for him if he didn't dip a little.

For a while, it was the chopsticks holding the chicken in a dilemma.

Unconsciously, a drop of red oil flowed down the chopsticks to his wrist.

I only heard a "poof" from someone next to me.

It seems that he has been holding back the smile for a long time, but at this moment he can no longer bear it.

"Miss, look at that fool...... With a piece of meat on his chopsticks and staring at it, do you want to say sorry to this chicken?"

The sound is undoubtedly fried chestnuts in sugar.

I don't know when, she and Miss Zhao Mingming also came to the hall to eat.

Originally, Zhao Mingming suffered some minor injuries because of standing with her broken lover, and she didn't want to go downstairs. However, the rules of Xiangteng Inn are strict, and meals are not allowed to go upstairs.

Sugar-fried chestnuts were angry, but when they were about to quarrel with the shopkeeper, Zhao Mingming went downstairs by herself.

She didn't want anyone to be embarrassed by herself.

Sugar-fried chestnuts saw the young lady dragging the injured body downstairs to eat, and the old man pouted angrily...... He even threw out a sugar-fried chestnut that he was about to eat and smashed it on the counter.

But the shopkeeper doesn't care about the ordinary, neither explains nor confesses.

Just use a snow-white towel to wipe the chestnuts that smashed on the counter and smashed them to pieces.

"Don't be rude!"

Zhao Mingming reprimanded.

Liu Ruiying looked at the laughter.

Wasn't next to the sugar-fried chestnuts the woman I saw at the gate of the Dingzhou Prefecture that day?

It turns out that she still hasn't left!

Somehow, these days, I occasionally think of her.

Although it was only a hurried day, I remember it deeply and truly.

Seeing the red oil that had been left on his wrist, Liu Ruiying felt very embarrassed.

Every man has a desire to show his handsomeness and toughness.

This is especially true in front of beautiful women.

But in such a state at the moment, there is really nothing to express.

Liu Ruiying didn't know what to think, but swallowed the huge piece of chicken in one bite. I didn't care about chewing carefully, so I swallowed it with the bones.

This scene made Zhao Mingming also a little laughing, and couldn't help but turn her head sideways and snicker.

"Hey, aren't you choking?"

Sugar-fried chestnuts asked.

Liu Ruiying was indeed choked...... So much so that he couldn't even speak.

But he didn't want to open his mouth and spit out...... That's too vulgar, and it can't help but surprise the beauty.

I had to pick up the wine cup on the table and drink it all, trying to go down the chicken.

As a result, the meat was swallowed...... But the drums of war were beating in his stomach. It's like a raging fire, rubbing upwards.

After a while, there were two more blushes on his face.

"Just ...... Let the girl smile. ”

Although Liu Ruiying replied to the question of fried chestnuts with sugar, her eyes were staring at Zhao Mingming intently.

"Hey, what do you do? The embroidery on the clothes is so exaggerated, it's so earthy......"

Sugar-fried chestnuts said.

The second half of the sentence was not finished, but Zhao Mingming was stunned by a look.

"The maid is used to letting it go, and this son is offended. ”

In fact, Zhao Mingming didn't know how to greet Liu Ruiying, after all, this was her first time going down the mountain.

Although on the mountains, there are special teachers who teach them many bits and pieces of the human world.

But how can this person's sophistication be explained by a few dry lines of words in a book?

At the moment, I was also short of words, and I thought about it in my mind for a long time, but I only found the word childe......

These words were in my ears, like a fairy sound, and I couldn't help but get drunk again.

"What is not in the way, what is not in the way......"

Liu Ruiying waved his hand again and again and said.

Zhao Mingming felt that the end of this dialogue was a little abrupt, but she couldn't find any topic to talk about in her heart, so she couldn't help but feel a little at a loss for a while.

"Chicken, what's your name!"

Sugar-fried chestnuts deserve to be the first heartless in the world, and he gave Liu Ruiying a nickname so quickly.

"Under Liu Ruiying. ”

The name "sugar-fried chestnuts" is too rude...... But it relieved Zhao Mingming's embarrassment, so she didn't interrupt the sugar fried chestnuts again, but just let her play.

"Do you also live in a hotel? I go up and down several times a day, in and out, how come I have never seen you?"

Liu Tang fried chestnuts and then asked.

"I'm not staying in a hotel. ”

"What are you doing at the inn instead of staying in a hotel!

Liu Ruiying was shocked by the words of sugar-fried chestnuts, and at the same time admired her thinking very much.

"Why, am I not right? If a wolf doesn't want to eat a rabbit, then what does it do to go around the rabbit's den, is it to say something to the rabbit for a long time?"

Liu Ruiying just wanted to refute, but after hearing this, she could only be silent......

I have to say that this matter is in the hands of Jiushan, and it is indeed so reasonable.

There is no difference between the world and the Nine Mountains, don't always lift yourself up too noble.

Comparatively speaking, although the Nine Mountains are more primitive, the primitiveness precisely represents the truth.

Liu Ruiying didn't know the identities of the master and servant, but just a little girl had some whimsy.

"I'm here to eat and drink. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

"It's a strange thing......"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Zhao Mingming finally spoke out again to stop ...... She didn't know how many amazing words this little girl could say if she continued to let it go.

"Haha, this young lady doesn't need to be nervous, but your maid is really interesting. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

He wanted to talk a little more with the sugar-fried chestnuts, so that Zhao Mingming could also make a little deeper impression of himself, didn't he?

With such an opportunity, Liu Ruiying really doesn't want to waste it.

Even if you ask who your surname is, it's okay to know who you are.

"Little sister, what's so strange about this normal way of eating and drinking?"

Liu Ruiying saw that the sugar-fried chestnuts were very immature in her gestures, and her figure was also petite and lovely, so she immediately called it so.

How did he know that the sugar-fried chestnuts were more than twice his age.

"It's okay to eat, no matter who you want to eat...... You see, the ants on the side of the road also have to look for honey, don't they? But this drinking is not a necessary thing, it is a special thing......

Sugar-fried chestnuts didn't care what Liu Ruiying called her.

"Is that wine?"

Sugar-fried chestnuts pointed to the apricot blossom stuffed jar on Liu Ruiying's table and asked.

Zhao Mingming's eyes also followed, with the same look of hope.

"Yes, you ...... Haven't you ever drunk?"

"I didn't ...... The elders in the family were not allowed to drink before going out, and they didn't know how to drink after going out. ”

Sugar-fried chestnuts shook his head and pouted.

"Are you from the rivers and lakes?"

Sugar-fried chestnuts suddenly leaned forward and asked in a low voice.

"What did you say?"

"Oh, that's the kind of people in the rivers and lakes! Fighting, killing, and killing, having no fixed place, and doing all good and bad things! I heard that the people of the rivers and lakes love to drink very much......

Liu Ruiying looked at Zhao Mingming and found that this young lady seemed to be waiting for her answer.

Where did these two living treasures come from?

Even if you are a lady who is not out of the depths, you shouldn't be so ignorant of the world.

Hearing her ask, Liu Ruiying was also interested, and insisted that she was a Jianghu person.

"Wow, how many people have you killed!"

Sugar-fried chestnuts asked.

Liu Ruiying had the intention to scare and scare her, so she casually said a hundred.

"Oh......"

Unexpectedly, this number made the sugar fried chestnuts feel nothing.

Liu Ruiying didn't know that before the sugar-fried chestnuts turned into shapes, a hundred lives were just less than a month's rations, so how could she feel shocked?

"Want to drink?"

Liu Ruiying asked, and at the same time looked at Zhao Mingming.

It is a very old-fashioned way to get closer to each other with the strength of wine.

Because it is really easy to use, and the easy method will naturally be used by many people, and the more people who use it, it will become old-fashioned.

Not to mention that Zhao Mingming and sugar-fried chestnuts don't know about this, what can those women in the world who know the cause and effect of this?

Liu Ruiying is not an alcoholic. But since drinking with Yu Zhongsong, he has found that there is a lot of atmosphere and fun that only wine can create.

There is apricot blossom brew on the table.

In front of her sat a beautiful girl.

Wine and beauty are not a multiple-choice question, but an addition. An addition that a man would do.

Addition is not in order, and the same is true for wine and beauty.

However, more people will put good wine first, because good wine can make beautiful people more beautiful. If there were still some flaws in the past, then under the decoration of the wine, there will only be a thousand charms.

Wine is a mirror.

Drink to the stomach, warm to the heart, drunk in the mind.

It is the only dream that people can control, the last fortress to retreat.

It is a panacea, a cure for diseases that the best man in the world cannot see.

Liu Ruiying remembered that a senior in the Investigation Division once told him that drinking alcohol is a science, and drunkenness and dreaming of death is a kind of exercise.

Everyone is moving forward with the beautiful illusions they weave, but one day you will find that illusions are illusions...... Even if you can't get the last drop of blood from this flu, then the wine can fill all the scars on your body and mind along the way.

Little by little, it flows through the years, through the past.

From the tip of the tongue to the base of the tongue, from the larynx to the fundus of the stomach.

Smooth your wrinkles, soften your pains, forget your expectations, and ease your disappointments.

There is no second thing in the world that can do this.

"How do ......you drink it?"

Sugar-fried chestnuts said timidly.

Liu Ruiying filled himself with one.

He also wanted to learn from the shopkeeper, and use his strength to control the apricot blossoms in the altar so that only one of them came out, so that he could show off in front of Zhao Mingming.

I didn't think about it, but it's not as simple as it seems.

But in front of beautiful women, how can you lose face?

In the single apricot blossom floating lamp, he finally made it.

"How do you need to be taught how to drink? You can drink how to drink water, and if you know how to drink water, you will drink wine!"

Liu Ruiying said, tilting his head and doing another one.

It's like a veteran of the wine field.,In fact, I don't drink more than a palm.。。

"Try?"

Liu Ruiying pointed to the wine jar and asked.

The sugar-fried chestnuts were a little tempted, and looked at Zhao Mingming to ask for permission.

Zhao Mingming thought for a while and nodded.

After all, this is in the Xiangteng Inn, and I am not afraid of any incident. And although she doesn't know Liu Ruiying's official clothes, it is difficult for people to refuse just with his delicate and lovely face. What's more, there are strict rules in the mountains, and Zhao Mingming really wants to try it when she goes out this time......

Zhao Mingming held the wine cup, looked at the apricot blossoms floating in it, and was slightly distracted.

"Miss, why haven't you finished drinking yet?"

Sugar-fried chestnuts held up the empty wine cup and shook it at Zhao Mingming.

Zhao Mingming first stuck out her tongue, licked it, and found that there was no taste, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Liu Ruiying couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw these two girls who claimed to be drinking for the first time, and their faces didn't change when they went down.

In fact, even Zhao Mingming and Sugar-fried Chestnuts themselves didn't know that such human spirits were extremely dull to their alien beasts, and they couldn't get drunk at all except for being able to increase their spirits.

Between coming and going, there were already four or five empty wine jars on the table, most of which were drunk by Zhao Mingming and sugar-fried chestnuts.

Liu Ruiying was a little drunk, but she hadn't asked yet, so she couldn't help but be very anxious. As everyone knows, this anxiety has even more fueled the strength of the wine......

"It's really quiet here...... Xiangteng Inn"

Liu Ruiying muttered to herself.

"I don't know what Childe means by that?"

This is the first thing Zhao Mingming said to Liu Ruiying tonight.

It was also the first thing she said to Liu Ruiying in her life.

"There is also a Xiangteng Inn in Jiying Town, but it is much more lively than here. The drinkers are even more bold, and there is opera to listen to every night. ”

Liu Ruiying recalled.

"Why don't you sing a little bit?"

Sugar-fried chestnuts said.

Liu Ruiying was also drunk, and even agreed in one gulp.

However, there were really few singing passages in his mind...... After thinking about it, only a piece of Bifang wine can still be remembered clearly, and the lyrics are just right for the occasion.

Liu Ruiying put down the wine cup and sang:

Xiaosheng has no intention of following the willows.

The stranger is only half old.

Mr. Nai sent Bifang wine in white.

but he did not give up without drinking three thousand cups of it.

I want us to say that the words of praise are also backwards.

Why did you see the girl and you want to say goodbye?

I'm afraid that it will be an opportunity to go with the flow again

Even if we don't have any show from the south to the north

But it can also deserve to be literary and stylish

It's like this golden hairpin got drunk with Uncle Cao Guo

In the belly of the altar is idle tea and wine

Girl, don't smack me for chattering

Let's take a closer look at this rotten gut matter with you

As everyone knows, the Jiang Yuan is powerful and storms the bullfighting

Under the eaves, we can only endure shame and shame

......

Dingzhou Prefecture in the capital.

Yunaka Matsu also returned.

Huo Wang only gave him a day to pack his things, and then went to the Dingxi Palace, looking for him.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is not an apprenticeship at all.

Just to keep Tang Zhongsong by his side, Tang Ming will have to think a little more about whatever he does in the future.

The proton method is also very old-fashioned.

But Tang Zhongsong didn't pack anything, and locked himself in the house all morning and kept writing letters......

There are some things that he has to take care of before he leaves.

In the afternoon, taking advantage of Park Jung-hong's time to send the letters he wrote one by one, he came to his parents' room.

Tang Zhongsong stood quietly, without saying a word, and Tang Ming also stood quietly, looking at him, without saying a word.

Tang Ming knew that his son was already a chick turned a phoenix. However, in this situation, it is very untimely...... I don't have anything to say, and Song'er must know everything next to me.

Zou Yunyun unexpectedly didn't cry...... There were no tears even quietly, which was unexpected.

just handed Tang Zhongsong a jade pendant.

"This is sent back by Old Ghost Ye, and I have always forgotten to give it to you. Let's wear it in the future, you haven't left your body since you were a child. ”

After Tang Zhongsong took the jade pendant from his mother's hand, he immediately put it on his neck.

"Young Master!"

Park Jung-hong's voice remembered, but it was time to leave.

"It's all delivered?"

Tang Zhongsong asked with a raised eyebrow.

"It's all delivered. ”

Park Jung-hong replied.

"Go ahead, pick the two strongest and loudest insects you have brought back, and hang them on the cart with a rope. It's too quiet to walk at night, it's uncomfortable!"

Tang Zhongsong did not hesitate to use his strength in this sentence, and his voice echoed throughout the state capital, deliberately so that everyone could hear it clearly.
