Chapter 120 Invitation to Drink

Wu Shaoyi nodded and called the guide sent by Lu Yao to his side: "Do you know how to get to Shaozi Rock?"

The guide was stunned when he heard the word "Shaozi Rock" and opened his mouth.

He quickly reacted: "I know, it's far away, do you want to go now?"

But his surprise and hesitation were seen by Wu Shaoyi, and his face immediately sank: "Tie him up."

The left and right rushed up and tied up the guide.

"What's the situation at Shaozi Rock that shocked you so much?"

The guide denied it hastily, but Wu Shaoyi was too lazy to pay attention to him and patted the bag on the horse's back.

The bag actually moved a few times, and then a sable came out.

It seemed to have just woken up, with sleepy eyes, and even washed its face with its front paws.

Wu Shaoyi asked it: "I remember that you were born in this forest?"

The sable nodded.

"Do you know Shaozi Rock?"

The little guy nodded again.

The counselor said hurriedly: "Since you are sending the sable, why don't you also explore the Xianling Village?"

Wu Shaoyi also had this idea, so he took out two small pieces of dried meat as a reward and handed them to the sable.

The sable took it and chewed it, then jumped off the horse and ran into the bushes.

It was so fast that everyone could only see the grass leaves swaying from near to far, and then disappeared into the darkness.

The counselor offered another suggestion: "While we are at it, why not transfer some of the brothers down the mountain to come up, so that we can make plans for the follow-up."

Wu Shaoyi nodded: "Then transfer them all up."

His team was smaller than Lu Yao's, with only 1,100 people. He brought more than 200 people up the mountain, and there were only more than 800 people left down the mountain, so he might as well call them all up the mountain to prepare for any unexpected events.

In the silence, Wu Shaoyi couldn't help but think of his feud with Lu Yao.

The two sides had long been enemies. If it weren't for Pei Xinyong's repeated persuasion, he would have wanted to take this team back home.

It was also very happy to occupy the mountain and recruit soldiers there.

The Grand Marshal was in rebellion in the north, and Yuan Ting was already exhausted just dealing with him. How could he have the energy to take care of the south in a short time? So Wu Shaoyi at least had a lot of leisure time.

Whether this was right or wrong, Wu Shaoyi was not sure.

"It has been half an hour since the letter was sent out?"

After receiving a positive reply, He Chunhua straightened his clothes and went to the village entrance surrounded by seven or eight people.

Mao Tao stood in the center line drawn by both sides and shouted to the west of the village: "General Lu, come out and see me!"

He shouted three times in a row, and the sound echoed throughout the village.

A bandit came out and asked: "What are you doing?"

Mao Tao shouted: "Your general invited us to eat fish, and our master will invite him to drink wine, twenty years old wine brewed from the Northwest Spirit Spring!"

The bandit sneered: "Who knows if your wine is poisonous?"

"The fish is not poisonous, so the wine is naturally not poisonous."

Of course, this bandit could not make the decision and went to report it himself. The other companions came over, staring at them eagerly.

Along the center line, the two sides confronted each other again.

The campfire by the lake had not been extinguished. He Chunhua personally opened a wine jar and asked his personal guards to take the wine and slowly heat it in hot water.

After a while, the rich aroma of wine overflowed.

It happened that the wind blew from the lake to the village, naturally sending the aroma of wine into it.

After half an incense stick of time, Lu Yao came over leisurely, rubbing his eyes and said, "Lord He, are you in such a good mood?"

He Chunhua knew that he was deliberately late to leave him here, so he was not angry. He pointed to the table brought by his men and said, "It's a good thing to reciprocate. This is the family recipe I brought from the capital, and the good wine brewed with Xiyao Lingquan in Qiansong County. In the second year after I arrived in Qiansong County, I personally sealed the first jar, and then one jar every year, and 23 jars so far. Excluding the annual family sacrifices and entertaining guests, there are still five jars left, and I will take them to the capital."

"When my family was still in the capital, we would present home-brewed wine to the palace every year." He Chunhua smiled at Lu Yao, "Such a good wine, doesn't General Lu want to taste it?"

He knew that wine, sex, and money were Lu Yao's three major hobbies, and he would accept anyone who came, and this person also claimed to be true to his nature.

Sure enough, Lu Yao swallowed several times after hearing this. After thinking for a while, he said, "Okay, since Lord He is so interested, I will accompany him! But let me say this before. I have had the opportunity and have long been immune to all poisons. Even if arsenic is brought up, I will eat it like fermented glutinous rice."

He Chunhua said angrily, "General Lu, what are you talking about? Would I spoil my own good wine like this?"

So a long table was pressed on the center line, and He Chunhua and Lu Yao sat at each end. The former pushed a jar of wine over.

Lu Yao took it and smashed the seal. Sure enough, a mellow fragrance filled his nose, making him take a deep breath and praise, "Good wine!"

He waved his hand again, and the two bandits took the jar of wine, first helped him fill a bowl, and heated the rest.

At this time, the servants in the He family team pushed the magnificent fish king over on a cart. The big fish had been cleaned of mud, scales, and washed in advance, and was cleaned naked.

That was the largest cart in the village, usually used to transport hay and grain, but it couldn't hold the fish completely, and half of the fish tail was dragging on the ground.

This was to be cooked and eaten immediately.

The two men stepped forward and made a small hole behind the fish gills, and actually pulled out a gray-white tendon from it, which was thicker than chopsticks.

He Chunhua introduced: "The fishy tendons of lake fish must be removed first, otherwise the earthy smell will remain in the meat."

Lu Yao took a sip of wine: "You are so particular, you deserve to be an official for twenty years."

He Chunhua glanced at him, and Lu Yao smiled and said: "Why, don't I know a thing or two about Lord He?"

"Somewhat unexpected." After all, he was just a small official on the border. He Chunhua pointed at the big fish and said, "When my men cleaned up the fish, they found that it was unharmed. May I ask General Lu, how did you knock the fish out?"

At that time, Lu Yao and the fish king surfaced together, and the scene was quite shocking. Although the buoyancy of the water was very large, Lu Yao was able to lift it to the surface of the water, which was itself amazing.

What He Chunhua cared about most was how he knocked the fish out.

Looking at its size and scales, it was at least nearly 200 years old. No matter how powerful Lu Yao was, he was still a human being. He did not hold a long weapon when he went into the water, and he almost got it out with his bare hands.

This is weird.

Moreover, not long after everyone lifted the fish ashore, the big fish woke up, and it fluttered so happily that half of the village heard it.

This matter was weird from beginning to end.

"I picked it up." Under his gaze, Lu Yao spread his hands, "Except for getting it up, I didn't do anything at all. Such a big bargain, how could you resist not picking it up?"

"..." He Chunhua was speechless, "It was dark, how could you see a big fish unconscious at the bottom of the lake?"

"You don't understand this." Lu Yao was very proud, "I was born with a pair of divine eyes, I can see what others can't see. Not to mention the lake water, even if there are treasures three feet into the ground, they can't escape my eyes."

He Chunhua smiled, knowing that he didn't want to reveal it, and stopped asking.
