Chapter 416 Drinking Order

After experiencing the turmoil in Tianlang Lake, he suddenly came to the isolated Dongming Mountain. The almost idle pace of life made people a little uncomfortable.

After eating in the morning, all that was left was to idle. Ye Jingtang had a temper that could not sit still. His injuries were not healed and he was not suitable for practicing boxing, so he followed Qinghe to visit the medicinal fields deep in the mountains. It’s an early spring outing.

Benben stayed in Yun'an City in previous years. When she came to the outside of the pass, she definitely wanted to look around. However, with the master in front of her, she couldn't be like Qinghe's daughter-in-law and support her lover. She just followed behind, holding the hand in hand. I took some picnic items and went wandering around with Master.

Due to Shui'er's personality, she seems to be interested in everything. She strolls around the mountains and rivers. Occasionally, when she stops to rest, she will tease Qing He:

"As expected of the thief saint who is unparalleled in the world in lightness skills. After working hard all night yesterday, his legs and feet can still be so nimble when he wakes up early to climb mountains..."

"Will you die if you don't speak?"

"It's just the four of us, and there are no outsiders. It would be boring not to talk..."

…

Ye Jingtang basked in the early spring sun and wandered among the green mountains. Because the three girls had no milk to eat, it was not easy to move on the road, so they just listened silently to the conversation of the three.

The medicinal fields in Dongming Mountain are cultivated on the hillside, and medicinal materials such as Gastrodia elata are planted. There are also artificially raised mountain ginseng in the woods. Because the harvest is usually based on the year, no one usually takes care of it, only the responsible clan elders. Occasionally go on a mountain patrol.

After walking for a long time, the four of them arrived at a flat ridge. Looking out, they could see the mountains and the wasteland in the distance. The thin clouds had reached their feet, and the scenery was quite magnificent.

Fan Qinghe put down the things he carried, took out a blanket and spread it on the newly sprouted grass, and then sat down on it with Ye Jingtang.

Master Xuanji was relatively lazy and wanted to sit next to him, but Fan Qinghe was a little unhappy when he saw that the demon girl was not helping at all and still wanted to enjoy what was available. He motioned to the grove next to him and ordered:

"You go chop down a tree and peel a few sticks, and we'll have a drink."

Master Xuanji did not refuse this. He carried the acacia sword to a small tree, cut it into several sections with a few "shuashuashua"s, and carved words on it.

Dongfang Liren sat next to Ye Jingtang. Seeing his master walking away, he gently approached Fan Qinghe and asked with concern:

"Miss Fan, how are you feeling? Are you okay?"

Fan Qinghe is very tolerant. Although he drove piles half a night yesterday, he was only a little sore in the morning and is fine now.

When the Queen asked him directly, her face turned red and she looked around and said to him:

"If anything can happen to me, you should ask the Night Terror Hall."

"I'm fine. I feel like I'll be fine if I recover for a few days. My skills have also increased a bit. I think I can reach the Martial Saint threshold."

Ye Jingtang sat on the blanket and saw the two of them sitting far away with helpless eyes:

"Sit closer, sit so far away, where will Fairy Lu sit later..."

Dongfang Liren was afraid of being touched, so he placed the dried fruits he carried and pretended not to hear.

When Fan Qinghe saw that the queen was not moving and Ye Jingtang spoke again, she couldn't pretend that she couldn't hear her. So she could only move forward slightly, but as soon as she got closer, she was touched on her lower back.

The three chatted for only a few words, then Master Xuanji came back from a short distance away, holding a handful of freshly cut wooden picks, and even made a wooden pick tube along the way, and sat down next to Li Ren:

"Have you ever played the game of drinking chips? You take turns to draw lots, and the person who comes out has to follow the instructions on the lot. If he can't do it, he will drink."

Dongfang Liren had naturally played this game before, but he was worried about his master's sense of propriety and tilted his head to look at the wooden sign:

"Master, what did you carve?"

Master Xuanji put the wooden sign away and did not let his apprentice see it:

"When my family plays in private, I'm naturally more relaxed. I just can't do it and drink."

Ye Jingtang felt that Shui'er was going to act like a monster, but the three girls were his wives, so there was nothing he couldn't let go of, so he smiled and said:

"Let's try it for fun, how about I come first?"

Seeing this, Master Xuanji handed the lottery tube to Ye Jingtang.

Fan Qinghe felt that the demon girl would definitely mess around, but with Dongfang Liren in front of her, the demon girl could not be more embarrassed than her, so she did not give up at the moment and watched Ye Jingtang shake the lottery tube.

Swish swish swish~

It only shook back and forth a few times before a white wooden stick fell on the blanket.

Dongfang Liren picked up the signature and glanced at it:

"Kiss the person on the right..."

As he spoke, he blinked and looked to the right side of the Night Terror Hall...

Isn't that her? !

Dongfang Liren was stunned, and quickly inserted the sign back with a majestic expression:

"you drink."

If you can do Night Terror Hall, why should you drink? He said with a smile: "You have to follow the rules when drinking. It's just fun at the wine table. It's nothing..."

As he spoke, he leaned over and kissed Benben’s face:

"Okay, it's your turn."

Dongfang Liren was fucked in front of his master, and his face turned red. After glaring at Ye Jingtang, he suppressed the embarrassment in his heart, took the lottery tube himself, and shook it back and forth.

Swish swish swish~

Pa da~

The signature fell on the blanket, face up. Before Dongfang Liren picked it up, he saw the words written on it - holding his chest in his hands...

?

Dongfang Liren was speechless, and turned to look at the dignified master next to him who was full of immortality:

"Master, what are you writing?"

Master Xuanji didn't expect Li Ren to be so unlucky, so she shrugged slightly and said:

"It's just for fun, and I won't lose a piece of meat. I just can't do it and have a drink."

Dongfang Liren's drinking capacity is not as outrageous as that of his master. Let's start drinking now. What if he smokes something even more outrageous later and gets drunk again?

She hesitated for a moment, raised her hand to hold the fat-headed dragon, shook it slightly, and then quickly gave the lottery tube to the master.

Fan Qinghe knew that the demon girl was very skilled in martial arts and was afraid that the demon girl would cheat. He moved forward and stared at his hands carefully:

"Shake it fast."

Master Xuanji didn't bother cheating, so she swayed twice and threw out her signature.

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang acted like a curious baby, and he and Benben came forward to take a look.

The result shows that it says - When was the first time you hugged a man?

"..."

When Ye Jingtang and Fan Qinghe saw this, their eyes looked a little strange.

Dongfang Liren, on the other hand, was full of gossip and leaned closer to ask:

"Master, have you ever hugged a man?"

When Master Xuanji saw the sign, he naturally remembered the night when he hugged Ye Jingtang in the depths of Mount Wu.

But she was embarrassed to say it in front of Li Ren, so she picked up the wine gourd:

"I'll drink. Qinghe, it's your turn."

"Alas~..."

Dongfang Liren was disappointed and looked at Aunt Fan again.

When it was his turn, Fan Qinghe naturally became nervous. He picked up the lottery tube and swung it back and forth twice. He didn't even dare to read the signature when it fell off. Instead, he asked Ye Jingtang:

"What did you write?"

Ye Jingtang picked up the signature and looked at it with Benben:

"Rub the one sitting on the left side..."

Fan Qinghe was stunned. He didn't expect that such a good fortune could be drawn. He became more energetic. Before the enchantress could dodge, he came over and raised his hand to hold a full dagger. He sunk his fingers into it and rubbed it back and forth twice. , and also said:

"So soft, aren't you witch?"

Xuanji, a real person with a very strong mind, said without changing her expression, "That's natural~".

Dongfang Liren's face turned red when she saw the two women playing so playfully. Seeing that Ye Jingtang dared to take a peek, her eyes turned cold and she turned Ye Jingtang's cheek to the other side:

"What are you looking at?"

"Haha~ I didn't see anything. It's my turn... um... rub the one sitting on the right..."

"?"

Dongfang Liren was stunned and quickly raised his hand to hug the fat-headed dragon:

"Se embryo, you did this on purpose, right? Why do you keep tormenting me?"

Ye Jingtang spread his hands slightly, a little innocent:

"I really did it casually, there were only four of us, either on the left or on the right..."

"Then you drink!"

"I am injured and cannot drink too much..."

"You...ah~"

Dongfang Liren wanted to say a few words of justice, but the fat-headed dragon was pinched. His eyes were filled with anger and annoyance. He stood up and pushed his master to the front of the Night Terror Hall:

"Master, let's change positions."

Master Xuanji was pushed into the fire pit by his apprentice. Naturally, he didn't care. He came to him and continued to shake. As a result, he got a good one this time - he opened his collar and showed it to the person opposite.

Now facing Qinghe, Master Xuanji naturally had no worries. She opened her collar lightly with her fingers and bowed slightly:

"Hmm~"

Fan Qinghe took a quick look and found that the enchantress was actually wearing a sexy white silk hollow coat. He raised his chest slightly and said in disgust:

"It's just a little bit of meat, what's so good about it, and it's all so fancy..."

"Keep going……"

Ye Jingtang sat between the three of them, watching the three of them tossing back and forth, and felt that this game was really fun. No wonder the ladies in the capital like to ask a few faces to sit together. If men and women are not matched, the game will not be fun at all. mean.

This kind of dirty play, a man would definitely take advantage of it, and Night Terror Hall was still enjoying it at first.

But after playing for a while, he found that the game was quite fair. After a few rounds, he finally drew the lottery - stood up and twisted twice...

Ye Jingtang originally had a smile on his face, but when he picked up the wooden pick, his eyes froze, and then he picked up the wine bottle:

"I drink!"

Dongfang Liren was touched several times. Seeing this, he naturally quit and held down the wine bottle:

"You are injured, so you can't drink too much, or you will be twisted by me!"

An old man in the Night Terror Hall stood up and made some pretense. He was afraid that he might not be a Martial Saint, so he hid here and there and drank the wine...

——

While Ye Jingtang was having fun in Dongming Mountain, the turmoil outside did not stop because of his departure.

As the empress of the Southern Dynasty arrived at Jingjie City, the border gates of the two dynasties entered a state of silence. The border troops and even the people were outside the gate. However, the businessmen walking in the enemy country sensed that something was wrong and were afraid of being trapped in the enemy country during the war. They returned to the gate one after another. There were a bit more people than usual.

Pingyi City is the southernmost city in Western Xinjiang, and there is a prairie fire outside the city. If the two countries go to war, this is the first place that the Liang King will attack. For this reason, the security is much tighter than that of the Xihai Protectorate, with tens of thousands of soldiers hoarded inside and outside the city. horse.

After the death of King Zuoxian, although the Crown Prince succeeded to the throne on the same day and filled the vacancy of the head coach, the Crown Prince Zuoxian and King Zuoxian are two different things. They are junior and have no prestige. It is difficult to suppress the generals and retainers under his command. Although on the surface it seems The army looked in good order, but there was a bit of chaos inside the city.

For example, the commander-in-chief of Pingyuan City, because the prince had never fought in a war, could not trust the palace's current military arrangements. Everything was based on the arrangements made by King Zuoxian during his lifetime; and the generals under his command were afraid of offending the new king and being settled by the Queen of Autumn, which resulted in all plans being messed up. It's a bit disjointed.

Even the army is like this, and other aspects are naturally more chaotic.

As soon as King Zuo Xian died, Baixiao camp was left without a master. Because most of the masters were killed and injured in the battle of Xue Huhua, there were not many available people left. The new king was so busy that he had no time to deal with this group of people who were raised with money. The thugs turned Bai Xiaoying into a headless chicken, not knowing what to do next.

Jia Shengzi and others, who were left on standby in Pingyi City, were originally collecting information about people coming and going from the rivers and lakes, but now even if they collected it, no one from the Xihai Protectorate came to collect it, and their group was just forgotten in Pingyi City. Yicheng.

At noon, in the yamen of the anti-theft office in Pingyi City.

Dozens of Baixiaoying warriors lay dead in the squad room because no one had arranged where to go.

Jia Shengzi is the counselor of King Zuo Xian. In the past, in order to prevent the prince from being suspicious, he did not have much contact with the prince. Now that the prince is gone, according to the custom of one emperor and one court official, he probably should find another job. At this time, In a teahouse on the street, I was chatting with the military advisor of Pingyi City's garrison to see if I could take my team and find a job in the general's mansion.

In the courtyard behind the Yamen, Cao Aning and others had no worries.

The few secret guards who followed out had already begun to pack up their things, preparing to follow Cao Aning back to Wei to resume their duties.

Cao Aning and Xu Tianying were sitting on both sides of the tea sea in the room, making Kung Fu tea, waiting for the recall order from the King of Hell.

Xu Tianying followed him all the way to today, and he really admired Cao Aning. When he helped pour tea, he sighed:

"I didn't believe in destiny before, but now it seems that I have to believe it. Say you are useful, you have not accomplished anything; say you are useless, you have defeated King Wu, King Yan, and King Zuoxian one after another. Whoever uses you will be defeated. Blood mold..."

Cao Aning also felt that he was evil, but as a person with great ambitions, he still frowned and said:

"What are you talking about? King Wu was used as a pawn by me. King Yan was an accident. As for King Zuo Xian, I sat in Pingyi City and did nothing. How can he be blamed for his death? …”

"So it's destiny. Normal people can't understand it, but it just happened. You have to be more careful in the future. Lord Ye might not even dare to stay with you, a broom star like you..."

Cao Aning waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, Ye Dayan is famous for his ability to impose his fate on others. He can barely defeat me. How can I defeat him?"

"Alas! Now that King Zuo Xian has fallen, we have achieved great success. With this achievement, I will probably be able to regain my position when I return to Yun'an. In my lifetime, I may be able to take over from Duke Cao..."

Xu Tianying is still known as the Eight Great Leaders, but he doesn't dare to go back and show his face. When he heard this, he sighed:

"The brand of Jie Yun Palace cannot be ruined. As a disciple, I have paid off my debt to my master by atonement for so long. I don't want to be promoted to a higher position or anything like that. When I go back, I can call back my brothers and support Jie Yun again." I am satisfied with the name of the palace..."

"This is not a big problem. Now that the Wei Dynasty has been swept away by Ye Dayan, if you return to Jieyun Palace, I guess you will not be at the bottom among the Eight Chiefs..."

The two of them were chatting like this, discussing their future plans, but before they could come to a conclusion, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from outside the Yamen.

Tap tap tap...

Xu Tianying's eyes moved, he got up and came to the door, only to see five people in brocade clothes dismounting from outside the Yamen and walking in. They saw that they were messengers from Yanjing.

Seeing this, Xu Tianying frowned and stepped forward to salute:

"I'd like to meet some of the adults. May I ask who they are..."

The leader of the five officials was a middle-aged man with a rather strict attitude. After scanning the courtyard for a few times, he took out the roster from his waist:

"Eunuch Zi has an order. Xu Tianying, Jia Shengzi, Cao Aning, Tang Yudan, Du Mao... will go to Yanjing with me from now on to wait for orders. The remaining idlers, with the order from Baixiao Camp, will come to me to collect money and be dismissed on the spot... "

Xu Tianying was stunned when he heard the words, and understood the meaning of this order. It was to take away the available people in the Baixiao camp, and the remaining miscellaneous fish were given some severance pay and sent to fend for themselves.

Xu Tianying didn't expect that the Beiliang court would still remember their gang of thugs, so he immediately asked:

"May I ask who your father-in-law is?"

Before the middle-aged official responded, Jia Shengzi hurriedly ran in from outside, nodded and bowed to several people along the way, and then explained:

"Eunuch Ziliang, the head of the twelve servants of Yandu, a celebrity beside the Holy Master, we are in great luck. Thank you quickly..."

Xu Tianying was a little shocked when he heard that he was attacked by the eagle dogs under Emperor Liang. As a hidden stake, how could he dare to run to Yanjing.

But the order from the King of Hell to stop the work had not yet been issued. Now that they had gone back to Wei Dynasty privately, they would definitely not be able to deliver the work. Seeing Jia Shengzi urging them, they could only bow and thank them, and then asked:

"Should I go to the palace as an errand in the future?"

The leader of the official, whose identity is similar to that of the secret guard's junior commander, a serious servant of the emperor, was not very polite to this group of wandering warriors. Hearing this, he responded:

"Only eunuchs can serve as errands in the palace. You used to run errands for the nobles in the palace. It's not easy to get the royal food. When you arrive in Yanjing, you will do odd jobs first. If you are strong and sensible, you will naturally be reused."

"oh……"

"Let's see...you are dealing with Xu Tian, ​​right? You are good at martial arts. Your master has assassinated the empress. You have a clean and reliable background. You might be able to work as an errand in the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion. By the way, who is Cao Aning?"

Cao Aning was still a little confused, so he quickly stepped forward after hearing this:

"Exactly down there."

The chief official flipped through the book and said unexpectedly:

"You are not very capable, but you have done a lot. You have helped King Wu and King Yan rebel, robbed the black government office, and assassinated the empress. You have a clean foundation. However, your teacher training is not very good. The court would not dare to be Cao Qiansui's apprentice." Use indiscriminately.

"But a few days ago, something happened to my father-in-law at Tianlang Lake. The twelve servants of Yan Du were short of someone and couldn't find a suitable one in a short time.

"You have a good foundation and you are a eunuch. You can accompany me to meet with the next few lord-in-laws. If you can gain favor, you can rise to the top in one step."

Cao Aning actually wanted to return to the Wei Dynasty and become the general manager, and did not want to risk going deep into the tiger's den and go to Yanjing to commit suicide.

But such a good opportunity is in front of him. If he breaks into the imperial city of Yanjing and does a great job, his future achievements may be as equal as that of the King of Hell. His master will have to carry his shoes. This opportunity will last for ten lifetimes. Not even once.

For this reason, Cao Aning hesitated for a moment, then bowed and said:

"Thank you for your appreciation, sir."

"Okay, let's pack up and go. Eunuch Yin is waiting outside the city. Eunuch Yin is the third general manager of the palace. Remember to be smart when you meet him. If it weren't for the fact that the prince is extremely loyal and staunch, how would the imperial court care about you guys? As an errand boy, this is an opportunity that no ordinary person in the world would be able to ask for..."

"That's natural."
