Chapter 435 What a great face
“The Huilong tea from Wudi, whether steeped or cooked, is full of tea fragrance and has a refreshing fragrance in the mouth!”
“Snow from the snow field The fish are caught by the raw slaves themselves. The fish meat is juicy and can be eaten raw. It is also tender and delicious. It can also be made into soup. "
"The fine silk and silk are like the skin of a girl. Tender and smooth. ”
“Calligraphy and painting, beautiful calligraphy and painting, and some shameful portraits of beauties. Sir, are you sure you don’t want one?”
In Luyang City, which is lined with rows of people, the market is bustling with people. Several Jianghu people entering from the east gate carry swords and knives, walking among the bustling pedestrians, looking at the bustling scene in front of them.
Strings of lanterns are hung and led up the long street to interweave. The street below is bustling with pedestrians talking and laughing.
The vendors on the street shouted loudly, and handed the pancakes from the pot to an old man. There were also cash-strapped men who stopped in the shop, looking at the copper boxes containing rouge and gouache, and wanted to give them to the girl they liked.
On the street, there are also Hu merchants from the Western Regions who came from the northwest, urging Orchid to dance, with a long and humming sound, and the naked Orchid cast her eyes in all directions, twisted her waist, and rang the bell. Hu Shang held the begging box and smiled at the onlookers around him, begging for some copper coins and broken silver.
"The Emperor of Xia conquered the northwest and brought all the barbarians here. He is really messing around!"
The few people in the world looked at Hu Ji, who was twisting her waist, and couldn't help but take a few more glances. One of the old men coughed dryly, and the four of them turned back to look at Hu Ji, who was twisting her dance skirt. They were quite embarrassed. The flag banner with the words Fengmanlou hanging in front of me.
A group of five people walked into the restaurant.
"Five guests, what do you want to eat? We are here in Luyang, Central Plains. We have whatever you want, whether flying in the sky or running underground. As long as the guests want it, we can give it to them. You put it on the table."
The old man among the five took off the knife from his waist, leaned on the leg of the table, sat down and said with a chuckle: "It doesn't have to be so troublesome. It's just a simple meal. Excuse me, man. Just serve the home-cooked food from your shop, and some more steamed buns.”
The apprentices who didn’t look like old men beside them frowned and sat down around the square table after hearing the old man’s instructions.
The store clerk has a keen eye, but he is also calm. He opens the door to do business. This kind of internal discord has long been commonplace. He hurriedly wiped the table and replied quickly and neatly: "Okay, the guests will wait a moment, and I will go to the kitchen to arrange the dishes for you."
The waiter will Putting the rag on his shoulders, he turned around and greeted the guests at other tables, then went to the shopkeeper to write down the dishes on this table, and then went to the kitchen.
Watching the store clerk leave, the eyes of the five people here glanced at the other seven or eight tables of guests in the restaurant lobby.
The five of them came from the Wu Kingdom. There was a chaos of war there, and Xia soldiers could be seen everywhere attacking cities and territories in various states. As Wu people, they felt a little aggrieved.
I heard that the civil and military forces of the imperial court who were resisting in the city were defeated by the three barbarian tribes. Men, women, and children were not spared. As brave knights, they summoned their friends and came to the Central Plains. However, among them, We met the old man on the way. He was very skilled in martial arts. Hearing that the four of them were going to Luyang in the Central Plains, they came together.
The five people looked around for a while, but they didn't say anything. Not long after, the store clerk came over from the kitchen with a wooden plate in each hand, "The guests have kept you waiting for a long time. This is the home-cooked food you asked for. There are four dishes in total, and the steamed buns will be served immediately.”
The waiter put the dishes on the plate one by one, then returned to the kitchen and brought a wooden basin with a dozen steamed buns in it. It's steaming.
"Come on, don't leave. We have something to ask you."
The old man among the five suddenly stretched out his hand and did not touch the store clerk's wrist, but pulled him away without leaving a trace. return. The skill of this move shocked the other four people. They knew that the old man's martial arts was high, but they didn't expect it to be so ridiculously high.
"Sir, what do you want to ask?" After all, the man was not a master of the world. He didn't know why he fell back, but he knew in his heart that it was the old man in front of him who did it.
"I would like to ask, if the Central Plains is in the hands of the Emperor of Xia, can the people live and work in peace and contentment?" The old man looked indifferent, and his voice seemed to be shrunk within the confines of this square table. Only the store clerk and the four people could hear it.
The waiter looked nervous: "... you heroes... don't do any harm to anyone. How can you ask about this matter in broad daylight in a crowded place? If others listen, Take it to file a complaint, even a few lives are not enough to kill him."
"Tyrant!" One of the four people gritted his teeth and looked indignant. He probably thought that the store clerk was so nervous because of Zhongyuan. He fell into the hands of the Xia Kingdom and was subjected to tyranny. No one dared to speak nonsense. The old man sat opposite him in the corner of the room, eating the steamed buns in his hands.
"Don't worry, buddy, you just answer, your words will not spread beyond the scope of this square table."
"What nonsense are you talking about? The Central Plains is fine now. Don't talk nonsense. Your Majesty is benevolent today. , and let us children from poor families learn to read and write. If you continue to talk nonsense, I will get angry.”
A master of martial arts frowned, with murderous intent in his eyes: "What will you do if you are angry?"
"I... I will sue the official!"
Although the store clerk is just a businessman The young boy said the words with some temper, which made the five people a little surprised.
"My eldest brother's children are all enrolled in school because of His Majesty's benevolent government. My hometown has also acquired two acres of new land. My father and mother are very happy. If anyone dares to say that Your Majesty is a tyrant, I will not join you." After the transaction, the shopkeeper won’t let you eat here!”
As he was about to turn around and tell the shopkeeper at the counter over there, the old man stopped him quickly, “Brother, don’t be nervous, I’ll wait for you from Cong Wu!” Come here, the war is still going on over there, and the Wu people like me are a little angry, so we speak a little harshly.”
"That's pretty much it." When the guy heard this, his anger subsided.
Afterwards, everyone asked him about the fierce generals and master guards of the Xia Kingdom. The clerk also wanted to show off to these people, and he counted a lot of them with his fingers. .
"As far as I know, Your Majesty is surrounded by two generals who are personally protecting you. One is tall and mighty, and the two younger ones may not be as tall as them. Among those generals, the most famous one is Killer He defeated General Lu Lu Bu, the master of Qianlong Mansion, and his weapon stood taller than the small one, and there is also..."
As soon as the guy opened his mouth, he couldn't stop being excited, except for what he just said The three of them, as well as Zhao Yun and other generals who commanded the army with white horses and silver spears, couldn't give an outline in trivial terms, but the four Wu Guolin listened carefully. What they didn't notice was , the old man next to him trembled slightly when he heard that Master Qianlong Palace was killed.
"...and Guan Yunchang, with a green dragon sword and a red horse, directly entered the military formation of Qi and Liang in Guangfu City. The formation killed two generals. When he was in Liang, I heard that it was still flooded. After arriving at the capital of the Liang Kingdom, the commander-in-chief of the attack on your Wu Kingdom is this General Guan. The deputy commander is also great. I heard that when our Majesty raised troops to clear the emperor's side, this General Zhang Liao led 800 cavalry to kill him from the side. Yan Jun's flanks went straight to the center to break the game. With the two coaches' hands, even Liang Guo was no match, let alone you Wu..."
Pa!
Before the waiter could finish the last few words, he was slapped on the face by a green forest expert. He was knocked around in a circle and tears fell from his eyes in pain.
He covered his face and felt aggrieved: "It's what you asked, but you still beat me after I said it."
Immediately, he took two steps back and shouted at the top of his voice: "Wu The Chinese bullied us Xia people in Luyang!”
When this roar came out, several businessmen who were dining at tables in the store looked over. At the same time, some people from the Central Plains slapped the tables and stood up, drawing their swords without saying a word.
Here, the four of them didn’t know that this waiter could be so fierce. They had bullied the waiter in the past, but the waiter didn’t dare to say anything back and had to apologize to them in a low voice.
“Let’s go!”
The old man grabbed the ancient knife leaning on the leg of the table, took out a dozen copper coins and threw them on the table. He stood up and stepped out of the threshold, followed closely by the other four people. go out.
The Zhongyuan Jianghu people in the store were not willing to let them leave, so they chased them out. As soon as they caught up with a knife, the old man in front suddenly turned sideways and squinted. No one could see clearly how he took action. The man who was chasing him flew out with a roar, and hit the table they had just sat on, with soup and copper spilling all over the floor.
At the moment of chaos, a graceful figure riding a red horse at the end of the long street, holding a halberd and a knife, leaned on the horse's neck from time to time and asked how to sell the exquisite copper box at the roadside stall.
"Hit someone!"
"The Wu people are tyrannical here and bully us Xia people!"
The woman who was making inquiries straightened up on the horse. He was not wearing any armor today and was only carrying a crescent halberd. Hearing the chaotic shouts over there, he hurried over on horseback.
As soon as they arrived at the street entrance, they saw several green men dressed as gangsters hurriedly leaving towards the city gate. Behind them was a shop boy who chased him to the middle of the street, covering his red and swollen cheeks and shouting and cursing.
A native of Wu?
Are they the ones just now?
Just as the girl was thinking, the young man over there also saw the woman on horseback and hurriedly ran over: "General Lu, I have seen you leading troops back to the city. Come on, what are the few people over there? Jianghu is from Wu. He comes to the store and keeps asking about your majesty and the generals. It is most likely a trick!"
Hearing this, the woman immediately turned her horse's head, shook off the reins, and shouted softly! A voice said: "Drive!" The red war horse spread its iron hooves and started galloping on the street.
……
"After returning this time, let the Qingzhou army pretend to be stationed in Huizhou to express His Majesty's attitude first. Then, on the Yue side, let the Embroidery Department select a group of people to agitate and create unrest there, so that The people are revolting! If you want to do this, call Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang..."
The emperor's guard of honor was still on its way back to the imperial city. On the driving chariot, Jia Xu made the final plan. Huan finished adding the details and was about to continue talking when a horse suddenly caught up with him. He was from the Embroidery Department. Then he whispered in Xu Chu's ear for a while, and the latter quickly came to the side of the carriage.
He said angrily: "...Your Majesty, a group of spies came from the city. They were identified by Feng Manlou's store clerk and injured a Central Plains warrior who was eating there. They escaped from the city and happened to meet Lu Bu. "Lv Lingqi? What is she doing out there alone?" Su Chen frowned: "Does Marquis Wen know?"
"You should know it by now. According to the spies from the Embroidery Department, Lu Lingqi seems to have come out of Zhao's house."
"Turn around!"
Su Chen stood up, walked straight past Jia Xu, came to the royal chariot, threw the driving soldier out of the chariot, pulled the reins, and the nine big horses pulling the chariot seemed to As if by telepathy, he changed direction on Zhuque Avenue and started running with the carriage behind him.
Huwei camp and Shenji camp were also under the command of Dianwei Xuchu and Liu Sheng. The rear team changed into the front team and chased the gradually accelerating carriage towards the east gate.
At the same time, Lu Bu, who had received the news earlier, had already rushed out of the city gate on his horse with flying red clouds, and Xiang Yu, who was a guest with him, went out with him.
Not long after, Zhao Yun, Ma Yunlu, and Ma Chao also dispatched one after another. After all, Lu Lingqi came out of the Zhao Mansion, so she did not dare to be careless and led the cavalry to chase the general out.
