Carefully speaking, Yue Ziran still has some acquaintances in Hangzhou, such as the old eunuch, but when Yue Ziran visits him, he can only go at night.

Coincidentally, when Yue Ziran arrived at the palace calyx green hall this night, he happened to meet the old eunuch coming out of the imperial dining room.

The old eunuch carried a food box and a jar of good wine in his hand, humming a small tune in his mouth, and he was indescribably proud. It's just that when Yue Ziran flashed from the back of the rockery, the frightened old eunuch instantly threw out the wine jar in his hand.

Thanks to Yue Ziran's agility, he stepped forward and grabbed the rope to spoil this jar of good wine.

Yue Ziran didn't wear night clothes, and the old eunuch recognized him by the moonlight. The old eunuch stopped the action that was supposed to call people, breathed a sigh of relief, and said softly: "Master Yue, you almost scared the Sprinkle family to death." ”

Yue Ziran opened the mud seal, sniffed it, and said, "I said that the old eunuch is a good blessing." As he spoke, he opened the food box again, and the aroma was fragrant, which was by no means something that ordinary people could enjoy.

"What's the name of this dish?" asked Yue Ziran.

"Mandarin duck five treasures stew. The old eunuch said.

"Hey. Yue Ziran was happy and said: "Qigong, his old man can't eat once for three months, I actually met him once I went back to the palace in the past six months, and I don't know if his old man is unlucky or I am lucky." ”

The old eunuch smiled bitterly: "Of course you are lucky." Last time, when the emperor ordered this dish, he was robbed by your master, and now the Sprinkler family thought that no one would grab the food, but I didn't expect you to come again. Could it be that the Sprinkle family is in conflict with your master and apprentice?"

"If you do too much bad things, you won't be able to enjoy the blessings. Yue Ziran verbally hurt him, but he pulled the old eunuch into the Calyx Green Hall.

"Gang Master Yue is really bold. Aren't you afraid that the Great Inner Forbidden Palace will let you come and go?" the old eunuch was not to be outdone.

Yue Ziran looked back at the old eunuch. After looking at it for a while, he shook his head and said, "Your swordsmanship really can't stop me now." But the person who is good at making Taizu grow his fist can, I wonder if he is in this great inner now?"

Yue Ziran came in this time, but he also had the intention of meeting the hall master of the Calyx Green Huatang.

The old eunuch smiled and said, "The hall master doesn't see anyone else." ”

Yue Ziran was not reluctant, and the two of them followed the plum tree to the central pavilion and sat down.

"There is wine, there is food, there is the waning moon, there is a plum forest, but unfortunately the person who drinks it is not a beauty. Yue Ziran said with some regret.

The old eunuch resisted the urge to roll his eyes. Ignore him.

Yue Ziran stretched out his hand to open the food box, tasted a bite of the mandarin duck five treasures stew, and praised after chewing it: "It's really delicious, no wonder Master and his old man have been thinking about it." ”

"Of course. The old eunuch also tasted it and said, "There is no interest in this harem, and the Sprinkle family only lives on this delicacy." ”

"That ......" Yue Ziran took a sip of wine and said, "When the cook in this imperial dining room returns to his hometown, you remember to help me pay attention to it, my inn still lacks a good cook." ”

"That's a good idea. The old eunuch was happy and said, "In the future, if you are hungry, you will go directly out of the palace." ”

It's settled. After some idle talk, Yue Ziran saw that the old eunuch was quite calm. He could only say helplessly: "What do you think about the matter of the Jin Kingdom? Have you really not thought about the threat of the Mongols after defeating the Jin people?"

The old eunuch was very proud of winning Yue Ziran in terms of concentration, and he couldn't be happy when he heard Yue Ziran's question, he said: "Not everyone is a fool, many people naturally know the power of the Mongols, but unfortunately what if they know?"

"How do you say that?" asked Yue Ziran.

"The current emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is old, and his martial arts are all intentional and weak, and the only thing that can be remembered is reputation. The old eunuch said slowly: "The Great Song Dynasty has been bullied by the Jin people for a hundred years, and it has been a long time since the Great Song Dynasty won a big victory. ”

"He can't hold out until the Mongols are strong, so naturally he doesn't care. The old eunuch spoke in a self-deprecating tone.

"The minister of the DPRK and China has no advice?" Yue Ziran asked with a frown.

"Now that the ministers are in charge, it coincides with the new monarch's struggle for the throne, who can take care of these things?" The old eunuch had obviously seen through it, and he said: "Speaking of martial arts, you may be the first in the world, and you can't compare to them when it comes to politics." ”

"Then you just watched and didn't move?" Yue Ziran asked.

The old eunuch pointed to the dish in front of him and said, "The two of us have to see the emperor's mood when we eat a plate of mandarin ducks and five treasures, do you think we can influence his thoughts?"

Yue Ziran thought about it too, and felt a little helpless in his heart.

"Maybe there will be a turn for the better when the new emperor ascends the throne. The old eunuch said one last word.

Thinking about the look of the gentleman he saw in Dongting Lake, Yue Ziran suddenly lost hope for the entire Great Song Dynasty.

The two of them drank under the moon, and they didn't speak to each other, thinking about something in their hearts.

The surroundings were quiet, and the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves was clearly audible.

Suddenly, there was a sound of noise at the door.

Yue Ziran and the old eunuch glanced at each other. The old eunuch shook his head, signaling that he didn't know who was coming.

It happened that the moonlight was covered by a cloud floating from the sky, and Yue Ziran didn't move, sitting in place and staring at the direction of the door with the old eunuch.

After a while, two dark figures walked in. They looked around, but they didn't see Yue Ziran and the others sitting in the pavilion. They listened again to make sure that no one was there before they spoke.

"What did you get out of the dining room?" asked the burly man.

"It's all scraps. The short man said, "There was good wine and food, but unfortunately it was taken away by an old eunuch in a food box." ”

"That's it. The burly man said, "Fill in a little bit, I'm starving to death, by the way, do you have any wine?"

"No, there is no water. ”

"Damn, I have to drink spring water on a cold day, and I pull it out before I eat it in my stomach for a while. The burly man said dejectedly.

"Ahem. Yue Ziran coughed dryly, just listening to the voice, he already knew that these two people were Peng Lianhu and Lingzhi Venerable.

"Who?" The two of them were startled and were about to move, but they saw a cold light already on the neck of the spiritual master.

The moonlight happened to avoid the clouds and fell again.

"Just... That's him. After seeing the old eunuch's face clearly, Peng Lianhu was not afraid, at least he was not a ghost.

"Why are you two here?" asked Yue Ziran as he walked down the pavilion.

"Son-in-law?!" The two of them were surprised and delighted, and forgot for a moment what they said to Yue Ziran.

"Do you know them?" asked the old eunuch looking back.

"Some friendship. Yue Ziran said, "They owe me a lot of money." ”

The old eunuch put away his sword, he remembered the last time he was blackmailed by Yue Ziran on Hengshan Road, and immediately felt some sympathy for these two.

"Why are you two here?" Yue Ziran asked again.

The two glanced at each other, Peng Lianhu slapped himself in the mouth, and said: "I repented and listened to my son-in-law's persuasion, so that I became like this." ”

It turned out that the two of them stayed with Liang Ziweng that day to fight against the Mongols who were in hot pursuit, delaying time for Wanyan Honglie. However, there were many people on the other side, and they didn't want to die, so they fled after they couldn't fight.

As soon as the servants escaped, they met the slave girl, and the slave girl didn't talk to the three of them when she saw them, so she came up and beat Liang Ziweng down with a palm.

These two people only thought that the slave mother knew that they had told Yan Honglie, and they didn't care about Liang Ziweng's life or death, so they ran away. Later, they ran to Lin'an Mansion, and the two of them thought that the slave Niang's Yanliu Lane was well-informed, and it was not a way to run anywhere, so it was better to sneak into the palace, where there would be no one in the Qinglou.

So the two of them became what they are now. (To be continued......)
