Chapter 242: I Heard You Have Three Thousand of That
In the evening, the sun sets and the sky gets dark.
The restaurants in the western part of the imperial capital have lit up the crystal lanterns and started to open, and the entire main road in the western area is covered with dotted colored lights, intertwined with the afterglow of the sun, and the orange clouds above reveal a unique beauty.
Separated from the main road by two streets, there is a two-storey small building, the door plaque reads the words "Qingfeng Restaurant", the flow of people in this section of the area is relatively scarce, the decoration style of the small building is very simple, and the entertainment elements that the nobility loves, so the door can be crowded, and the business is quite cold.
In the corner of the second floor, Zhong Wen occupied a table and drank alone.
is going to the front line of Xiqi tomorrow, but the three confidants have hid themselves for a day and a night on the grounds of "preparation" or "recuperation", which makes him depressed after not "cultivating" for a long time.
Even Lin Zhiyun, the palace master's sister, was not only busy "reuniting after a long absence" with her father Lin Shangshu, but after hearing about Zheng Yueting, she even told Liu Qiqi and Shen Xiaowan, two disciples, to "stay away from Zhong Wen", causing him to be ignored all day.
At the same time, the "Book of Illusion Dao" obtained by drawing lots sounded quite a doorway, but when he opened it in his mind, he could only see a big word "Dao", and he didn't get anything else, so he made a bamboo basket to draw water, and he was overjoyed.
The sullen Zhong Wen went out for a stroll, and inadvertently passed by this "Qingfeng Restaurant", only to feel that the business of the restaurant was bleak, which aroused the worry in his heart, and he actually gave birth to a sense of sympathy, so he decided to come in and take care of the boss's business.
He ordered a pot of wine and a few side dishes, and while listening to a man and a woman singing an unknown tune on the stage in front of him, he poured himself a drink, and after half an hour, he gradually felt slightly drunk.
The drunkenness is not strong, so the "one-breath longevity" in the body does not operate on its own, and under the influence of alcohol, the original depressed mood has gradually eased a lot.
At this time, a man in white was led to the second floor by the servant and sat down at a table near him.
The man wears a hat on his head, which covers his face, making it impossible to see his face.
"A pot of wine and a few shark fin buns. The words "shark fin buns" in the man's mouth aroused Zhong Wen's curiosity, after all, in his heart, "shark fin" and "buns" are two classes of food, and it is extremely difficult to mix together, besides, the man's voice made him feel a little familiar, and he couldn't help but look carefully at the table.
After a while, the little servant brought up the wine and buns, and the man in white finally took off his hat, as if he felt that someone was peeping at him at the next table, he turned his head and glanced at Zhong Wen, and at a glance, the two of them were taken aback at the same time.
"Zhong Wen?"
"Your Majesty..."
Without waiting for Zhong Wen to finish speaking, the man's figure flashed and appeared in front of him, pressing his right hand on his mouth, and making a "silence" gesture with his left hand: "Call me Uncle Li." ”
It turned out that this person was actually Emperor Li Jiuye.
"Uncle Li. Zhong Wenwen was not interested in imperial power, and when he saw Li Jiuye's request, he naturally got off the donkey down the slope and immediately changed his words.
"It's rare to meet here, let's have a drink together?" Li Jiuye saw that Zhong Wen was obedient, his face showed satisfaction, and he opened his mouth to invite.
"Good. If it were someone else, he would feel nervous when he saw the emperor, but Zhong Wen didn't seem to care, and he agreed with a big grin.
Seeing that he was young, but he looked calm when talking to himself, Li Jiuye's eyes were a little more approving, and with a wave of his right hand, the wine bottles and buns on the original table appeared in front of Zhong Wen like a trick, and the rest of the guests didn't notice it at all.
This is the Lingzun boss!
When Zhong Wen saw it, he didn't feel a little envious in his heart.
"Why did you kid come here alone to drink stuffy wine?" Li Jiuye poured a glass of wine, clinked glasses with Zhong Wen gently, and asked casually.
"In a bad mood. Zhong Wen replied truthfully, "Come out and relax." ”
"Oh?" Li Jiuye said curiously, "Let's hear it." ”
"Uncle Li, can I ask you a question?" Zhong Wen did not answer, but asked.
"You say. ”
"I heard you have 3,000 of them... Wife. Zhong Wen almost said the word "concubine", but he finally woke up in time and quickly changed his words, "How do you deal with the relationship between husband and wife on weekdays?"
"Husband and wife relationship?" Li Jiuye didn't have the slightest concept in his mind, "How else to deal with it?" If you want to go to whoever you want at night, you can go to whomever you want, if you can't make up your mind, just flip through the sign and see if you're lucky." ”
Zhong Wen: "......"
He felt that his mind and the other party were not on the same channel at all.
"There are too many women, can't you take care of them? I've long seen that you're a Merry Seed. Li Jiuye said with a smile, "Otherwise, with your ability, how can you be willing to stoop to be a cook in a women's sect?" But your vision is not bad, this Floating Flower Palace is really as beautiful as a cloud, if I... No matter how young I am twenty years younger, I will inevitably come to compete with you for that Miss Lin family. ”
"Uncle Li, you misunderstood what I meant. Zhong Wen shook his head and said, "I just think that people's energy is limited, and a woman can't hurt it, if you fall in love with several people at the same time, wouldn't you have to divide a heart into several petals and wronged each of them?"
"Could it be that you are too attentive and make a few people in the family unhappy?" Li Jiuye still didn't understand Zhong Wen's meaning, and persuaded himself, "Then I have to say, you are afraid that you care too much about your own women, so that they are pampered and arrogant, you look at me, not to mention three thousand, there are always more than a thousand, but which one dares to show the slightest displeasure?"
Zhong Wen knew that in this matter, the two of them had completely different ways of thinking, and they couldn't communicate at all, so he shook his head helplessly, no longer entangled, but changed the topic, "Uncle Li, now that the situation is not completely stable, how can you have time to come out and drink alone?"
"I... I'm also in a bad mood. When Li Jiuye heard this, his expression darkened.
"When you're in a bad mood, finding someone to talk to can solve a lot. Zhong Wen said step by step.
"Have you heard about the things in the Jinluan Palace?" Maybe it was the effect of alcohol, or maybe it was Zhong Wen's natural and cordial call of "uncle", Li Jiuye really began to confide in his heart.
"A little bit of it. ”
"I was in the Golden Luan Palace, not only did I lose to that guy, but I also behaved very badly. Li Jiuye poured a glass of wine depressedly, "There were so many top people present at that time, and my image was completely ruined." ”
"Uncle Li, who hasn't had a time when his emotions are out of control. Zhong Wen also raised his wine glass and drank it all, "To tell you the truth, I encountered a similar situation when I was at the South City Gate, and I almost lost my mind forever and never came back." ”
"I heard Old General Xue mention that you actually killed Sima Xun with the Heavenly Wheel realm, such an achievement is simply appalling. When Li Jiuye heard this, his heart widened, as if he had met a confidant, and he touched his wine glass with Zhong Wen, "You are really an amorous person, a woman is injured, it can make you lose your mind, just a manly husband, you must not be too obsessed with women, otherwise your future achievements will be limited." ”
Why did you talk and talk, and then you started preaching, really treating yourself as your uncle?
Zhong Wen complained in his heart, and said in his mouth: "Everyone has reverse scales in their hearts, isn't Uncle Li the same?"
"You're right. Li Jiuye was stunned for a moment, nodded slowly, and said, "Obviously, I am the emperor... But that guy always pressed me, everyone thought he was more talented than me, and I was just an incompetent person who relied on my father's generation, and over the decades, there were too many emotions accumulated in my heart, almost driving me crazy, if not, how could I agree to fight him alone, and how could I be so out of shape?"
He paused, with a bitter expression on his face: "However, it turns out that he is indeed stronger than me, in every aspect. ”
At this moment, what Zhong Wen saw in his eyes was no longer the high-ranking Emperor, but a poor uncle who had fallen into a mid-life crisis.
Uncle Li's words are wrong. Zhong Wen's heart softened, and he couldn't help but say comfortingly, "Maybe that person is better at planning than you, and his cultivation talent is slightly stronger, but now that you are still standing here, he has already died and his soul has returned to Huangquan, just judging from the results, it is clear that you are stronger than him." ”
"You don't have to comfort me. Li Jiuye shook his head with a smile and said, "I can stand here now, in addition to good luck, it is relying on the shadow of my father, this bit of self-knowledge, there is still some self-knowledge." ”
"So what?" Zhong Wenman said indifferently, "Luck is also part of strength, how many people in this world want to 'fight for their father' but can't, could it be that the efforts of their fathers should be ignored?"
"Spelling Dad, you use this word accurately," Li Jiuye heard this word for the first time, and couldn't help but laugh, "It makes a lot of sense for you to say this, but in the eyes of many people, I still can't compare to him after all." ”
"It's all irrelevant people, what do they think about so much?" Zhong Wen lazily poured a glass of wine, "No matter how much that person is sought after by them, it's not that eating soil below, no matter how you don't treat these people, you still don't live well, what is more important than living well?"
There is a reason for that. Li Jiuye laughed, only to feel a sense of relief in his heart, "I... I'm still alive and well, and I care about all this, come on, do one!"
The two of you have a cup, I have a cup, and they are pulling and talking, and in the end, they hooked their shoulders like uncles and nephews.
"Are you leaving for Xiqi tomorrow?" Li Jiuye suddenly asked.
"yes. Zhong Wen nodded, "Since you have agreed, you must keep your promise, this time the Floating Flower Palace will dispatch three Spirit Venerables, a strategist and me, a doctor, to support the Xiqi defenders." ”
"On behalf of the people, I thank you. Li Jiuye was quite moved and said, "When you return triumphantly, let's drink and talk again, I will definitely think of a suitable reward at that time, and I will never let you scold me for being stingy in my heart." ”
When Zhong Wen heard this, he smiled, and the wine glasses in the hands of the two touched again.
......
The night was already dark, Zhong Wen returned to the Lin Mansion with a little bit of alcohol, and there was no sound around quietly, and everyone in the mansion had already entered a sweet dreamland.
Pushing open the door, he lit the crystal lamp, walked quickly to the bed, and without even taking off his clothes, he planned to lie down for a while.
Suddenly, he had a strange feeling in his heart, as if there was a person lying on the bed.
Without thinking, he reached out and opened the bed curtain, and a beautiful and moving girl's face appeared in front of him.
"Tingting!"
He couldn't help but exclaim.
