In the inn in Shangluo County, Li Wuchang, Zhao Xun, Jiang Minglun, and Zhai Changping gathered together.

They all washed off the dust on their bodies, sat down to have a good drink, and everyone could be regarded as having experienced life and death together.

Li Wuchang stared at Zhai Changping, who was still indignant, poured him a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "What's the matter?

Zhai Changping snorted coldly and didn't speak, but in the face of Li Wuchang's smiling face, he didn't get mad on the spot.

To be honest, he was a little disappointed with Li Wuchang's performance, Li Wuchang just faced Xue Shanglin with a smile on his face, gossiping for a long time, and he didn't know how to say a word of justice for those people who died tragically.

Li Wuchang suddenly slapped the table and said coldly: "You have been in Liangzhou for so many years for nothing? I don't know the severity at all, and you dare to ask the history of Yongzhou assassination, are you tired of being alive?"

Zhai Changping saw that Li Wuchang was angry, and he didn't know what to do for a while, so he said weakly: "Obviously he can be saved, but he also ordered the arrows to be released, I think he is eager to invite merit and is eager to kill Pei and the bandit leader." ”

In fact, I don't blame Zhai Changping, he is young, hot-blooded, full of ideals, jealous and hateful, but if he doesn't like it, he has to theorize.

Li Wuchang scolded: "He, Xue Shanglin, went to Yongzhou to assassinate the history, even Taifu Lin will give him some face, and will he be sincere for the merit of killing more than 30 bandits? Do you believe it or not, even if this lawsuit is fought in front of His Majesty, you will not be able to get benefits, do you want to say that he killed innocents indiscriminately?...... You say!"

Li Wuchang Zhai Changping stopped talking, and continued: "I'll briefly say a few points. ”

"One, if he hadn't sent someone up the mountain, you might have died, and from that point of view, you should be grateful to him. ”

"Second, the scourge of bandits in Shangluo County has lasted for so long, and without a little ferocious means, it is impossible to deter the bandits at all, so can they just let those bandits grab those people and blackmail the imperial court, and then continue to get away with it in another place?"

"Third, Xue Shanglin has killed more people, last winter, he was ordered by the Tai Lieutenant Lu Shiqing to kill all the desperate people who wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble, what the specific situation is, you know better than me. ”

"Fourth, Xue Shanglin's political enemies caught the matter of indiscriminate killing, and I don't know how many times he has been involved, is he still not good? might as well tell you a little news, there are many imperial historians who want to participate in him, and the excerpts are all detained by the imperial historian Tang Zhifeng, because Lord Tang knows that even if he sends it to His Majesty, it is useless. ”

"Fifth, even if you don't like him again, you shouldn't use a questioning tone, because he is the assassin of Yongzhou, and you are just a small eight-rank Xuanjie captain, but if he is narrow-minded, you are now a dead man, even if he kills you in front of me, I have nothing to do, because you have already died in the eyes of the court, do you know, if I hadn't stood up just now, that Duan Long would have even pulled out his sword. ”

Zhai Changping's face was cloudy, and he asked in a low voice: "You can come to Niumao Mountain to save me regardless of life and death, why are you indifferent to the death of those people?"

"Bang!"

Li Wuchang slapped the table again and scolded: "Because you are my friend, those people are not...... Do you want me to take a knife to kill Xue Shanglin and Duan Long, and then shed a few tears to remember those people?"

No one at the table dared to speak.

There was silence for a long time.

Zhao Xun said in a round game: "Okay, okay, Changping, I was seriously injured, don't be angry with him anymore, just now he smiled at Xue Tingshi." ”

Then he filled everyone's wine glasses one by one, raised his glass, and said, "Come, for the sake of our great calamity, a toast." ”

Li Wuchang took a drink from his wine glass and said, "That's it for a bandit, then what if you go to Jizhou? In order to defeat the Khitan and Goryeo coalition forces in Liaodong, Lu Yuanke, the king of Beihai, once directly set fire to the city, and thousands of Dayan people were buried in the sea of fire with the enemy, so how can it be counted?"

After a pause, he sighed: "Changping, you have been born in poverty since childhood, you are kind-hearted and compassionate, and you have traveled in Liangzhou, and you know the suffering of the people, which is very good, I am proud of you as your friend, really." However, it is better to pay a little attention to proportions when dealing with big people, most of the big people are broad-minded, but there are also those who must be reciprocated...... Come, I'll toast you. ”

Jiang Minglun took the opportunity to say: "Changping, I really treat you as a friend, and I will never harm you, if you have a bad heart about this matter, you can forget about it quickly, hurry up, and dry the wine." ”

Jiang Minglun and Zhao Xunshang saw Li Wuchang like this for the first time.

Li Wuchang rarely gets angry, even when he calculates the Jin Palace, he is full of smiles, this time in order to untie Zhai Changping's heart knot, it can be said that he has said all the good and bad things, and even slapped the table.

Zhai Changping was a little relieved at this time, raised his wine glass and drank it all, looked at Li Wuchang, and whispered: "Fourth prince, I don't want to be a military attache anymore, I want to mix with you." ”

Li Wuchang said lightly: "If you want to mess with me, of course I welcome it, but I want to remind you that I may also be sent to suppress bandits in the future, and even to Jizhou or Yangzhou, I am not a good person, sometimes in order to achieve the goal, I will do whatever it takes, and I may do more than Xue Tingshi, I am afraid that you will not be able to accept it at that time." ”

Zhai Changping exhaled and said, "No." ”

......

Chang'an City, East Fence Restaurant.

Li Wuchang's nurses Zheng and Xiaoru were learning to cook in the kitchen, thinking that when Li Wuchang came back, they would treat him well in Caiyunju.

The nurse watched the chef operate while muttering quietly, complaining about Li Wuchang.

It's not that what the hell did that kid do after going for so long.

"Aunt Zheng, Miss Lin is here and looking for you. "A young man came to the kitchen to report.

"Again?" Xiao Ru rolled her eyes.

Since Li Wuchang left Chang'an City, that Lin Qin would come to inquire about Li Wuchang's news almost every day, either going to Li Mansion Caiyunju or to Dongli Restaurant.

The nurse didn't dare to slack off, took Xiaoru out of the kitchen, and led the guy to the private room where Lin Qin was.

In the private room, Lin Qin, Guo Yunling and Lu Ting were all there, and the shopkeeper Chen stood aside in person.

The dishes on the table are very rich, all of which are made by the kitchen according to the highest specifications under the instructions of the shopkeeper Chen, and there is also the new fruit wine from the Dongli Restaurant, which tastes very good, and many young ladies like to drink it very much.

However, Lin Qin and the other three only occasionally moved their chopsticks, and the fruit wine was also tasted lightly.

The nurse and Xiaoru hurriedly saluted, and then stood aside respectfully, bowing their heads slightly and waiting for orders.

"Aunt Zheng and Miss Xiaoru don't have to be so restrained, please sit down and talk...... Chen shopkeeper, tired to bring two more dishes and chopsticks. Lin Qin got up and showed a smile to the nurse and Xiaoru.

The nurse hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Miss Lin, don't be so polite, Lao Shen and Xiaoru have already eaten in the kitchen just now." ”

Guo Yunling stood up, pressed the nurse and Xiaoru to the chair, and said with a smile: "Aunt Zheng, don't be polite, you are Li Wuchang's nurse, who doesn't know that you are half the master of Dongli Restaurant." ”

Everyone knows the identities of the nurse and Xiaoru, and they also know that Li Wuchang is very nervous about them, and the top and bottom of the Dongli Restaurant are very polite to both of them, and the nurse of the Dongli Restaurant also said that the nurse is half the owner of the Dongli Restaurant.

The nurse and Xiaoru sat down at this time.

Lu Ting coughed lightly and said, "Aunt Zheng, is there still no news from Li Wuchang?"

The nurse replied: "The old man remembers the instructions of several girls, and yesterday he went to ask my master, and his words are the same as my young master, saying that the young master went to talk about business, and he will come back in a few days, so I don't have to worry." ”

After a pause, he sighed: "How can I not worry, last time I also went out of the city to talk about business, and after talking for about ten days, people lost a lot of weight, but last time it was okay, people were in Jingzhao County, there was no danger, this time it was to talk about business, but I went to Shangluo County, how dangerous is Shangluo County, I can see the notice of the imperial court, the bandits in Shangluo County are fierce." ”

As he spoke, he clasped his hands together and silently recited the Bodhisattva's blessing in his mouth.

Shopkeeper Chen knew the inside story, so he didn't keep silent, and secretly thought in his heart: "He's not going to talk about any business, but to save people." ”

After the nurse finished reading silently, she continued: "The business at home is too busy, and the money has made a lot, and he is still thinking about talking about business. ”

Lin Qin and the other three naturally knew that Li Wuchang was going to save their friends, and they didn't dare to look for Li Lingwu directly, so they always wanted to find Li Wuchang's nurse to find out the news.

Who knew that Li Wuchang and his father teamed up to fool his nurse.

Guo Yunling sighed in his heart, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "Who said it wasn't, that Li Er was stunned and wanted money." ”

Lin Qin's face darkened, she seemed to be enchanted these days, and there was always a picture flashing in her mind, that is, Li Wuchang was captured by the bandits in Shangluo County, tortured to death.

Lu Ting saw the unusually calm shopkeeper Chen on the side, and said curiously: "Isn't shopkeeper Chen worried about your owner?"

Shopkeeper Chen coughed lightly, patted his chest and said: "Our host's ability is great, what is the point of a few bandits? Moreover, he is here to talk about business, not to suppress bandits." ”

He really didn't worry too much, firstly, Li Wuchang was very witty, and secondly, Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun were both first-class masters, so what else was there to worry about with them protecting Li Wuchang.

Lu Ting stared at the slightly exaggerated shopkeeper Chen, and said suspiciously: "Shopkeeper Chen, do you know anything inside?...... Everyone understands people, don't fool me. ”

Shopkeeper Chen smiled: "How dare the little old man fool the county lord, our boss said so, let us do our best, and he will come back in a few days." ”

After a pause, he continued: "The three young ladies are all VIPs of our Dongli Restaurant, and they are also friends of our host, don't worry, our host's ability is the best old man, even if the business can't be negotiated, he won't be in any danger." ”

Before he could finish speaking, a young man pushed the door and entered.

Shopkeeper Chen frowned, and was about to open his mouth to reprimand.

Why is this guy so ignorant of the rules?

The guy whispered: "Shopkeeper Chen, the owner is back, and he is in the back room, and he said that he would let you go over." ”

When they heard this, they all stood up.

Good guys, finally back.
