Chapter 24 Drunk and Breaking into Dragon Pavilion
At this time, Yuan Xiu suddenly said: "Father, you don't know something. Although Zhao Meng is reckless, he has also done a good thing. He actually worshiped that young man as his master. I think as long as we treat him kindly,
Maybe he will be influenced by us and become loyal to the Song Dynasty."
Zhao Guangyi lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said: "Well, you go down and entertain him first, and find out his true identity. But I'm afraid you won't be able to ask anything!"
Yuan Xiu said with a smile: "I don't have to worry about this son! Because I think that although the young man is only seventeen or eighteen years old, he likes drinking very much. Father, you can only give him the fine wine in your cellar, and I will
Don’t believe that he doesn’t tell the truth after drinking!”
Zhao Guangyi smiled and said: "This is the best! I am still willing to give up a few jars of fine wine!"
The father and son talked for a while before Yuan Xiu said goodbye and left. After leaving Longxin Pavilion, he turned east and went straight to the side hall. After walking a few hundred feet, he had already arrived at the side hall. Entering the mansion, he met Ren Jinlongzheng
Sitting at the table drinking tea, Zhao Meng was chatting with him. Yuan Xiu said with a smile: "Fourth brother, I wonder if you like our tea from the Southern Dynasties?"
Xiao Si replied: "I don't usually drink tea. But your tea is really delicious!"
Yuan Xiu looked at Xiao Si and said, "Why are you still wearing these tattered clothes? How dirty!" He turned to Zhao Meng and said, "You are such a rude man, you don't know how to take good care of your master! Why don't you call someone to boil some water?"
Your master takes a bath and changes clothes!"
Zhao Meng then slapped his head and shouted: "Yeah, I didn't even think of this! Master, please sit down first, I will ask them to boil water!"
Ren Jinlong looked down at his clothes and saw that they were covered with thick mud and dust, and were full of holes, giving off a faint sour smell. He couldn't help but laugh and said: "These clothes are from me in the village.
What you picked up should really be thrown away!"
There was not much time, so the servants prepared hot water. Ren Jinlong took off his tattered clothes, got into the hot water bucket naked, soaked comfortably and leaned against the wall of the bucket. After a while, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
At this moment, his tense nerves slowly calmed down. His eyes were peaceful and his smile was light. I wonder what he was dreaming about in his dream?
Later, the water gradually cooled down, and he slowly opened his eyes and looked at the furnishings in the room. He saw that the room was extremely luxuriously decorated, with Suzhou and Hangzhou silk embroidered curtains and curtains with gold and silver threads, red carpets on the floor, and high mahogany feet.
There was a table of Eight Immortals, and there was a screen covered with flying phoenixes next to it. After he calmed down, he remembered where he was. He was holding a wooden bucket with his hand. As soon as he stood up in the bucket, he saw four maids walking in from the opposite side of the screen.
Holding clothes. One of the maids held his Wind Thunder Thorn and Bohai Hidden Sky Mirror, as well as a gold medal.
Ren Jinlong couldn't help being startled. He didn't know when these maids came to him. He hurriedly squatted back in the bucket and said angrily: "What are you doing? Who let you in?"
The four maids all lowered their heads and said nothing. After a while, one of the maids whispered: "Young Master, don't be angry. His Royal Highness ordered us to help you change your clothes..."
Ren Jinlong suddenly blushed, covered his chest and said loudly: "I don't want you to help me change my clothes, I can change them myself!" After saying this, his heart suddenly shook, and then he drifted to Saibei Moshang. The waiter in Baima Dianli, Yongzhou
Where is the gentle girl who is changing her clothes and combing her hair by herself now?
The maids were collectively stunned and at a loss. Ren Jinlong saw their expressions of embarrassment, and after a moment of silence he said: "I can dress myself. Please put all my clothes and belongings on the table. I will dress them after I finish them."
Call you."
The four women looked at each other for a few moments, smiled, and put down the things in their hands obediently, pushing the door open. When Ren Jinlong saw them leaving, he stood up from the bucket, found a towel to dry himself, and then came to the table.
, unfolded the neatly folded clothes and put them on one by one. Finally, he picked up a big cloak and put it on his body. He strolled to the bronze mirror and saw that the big cloak on his body was hemmed with green silk and was fat and plump.
It's very uncomfortable. There are a few delicate peonies embroidered on the plain white satin. Inside is a tight-fitting green lining with crotch buttons, and blue satin bloomers. At first glance, I really like this kind of clothes.
He had never worn it in the Khitan, but now he felt very comfortable wearing it. Looking left and right, he felt that the clothes of the Song people were indeed much better-looking than those of the Khitan.
After looking at it for a long time, he remembered the four maids outside the door. He opened the door and called them in, saying: "I'm dressed, you can comb my hair!"
A maid came over with a horn comb and gently combed it on his head. Ren Jinlong's eyes were slightly closed, his mind was confused and uncertain again, and a ray of light broke through his eyes and looked straight towards Mobei.
After combing their hair, the four girls turned around and left. At this time, Zhao Meng walked in. When he saw Ren Jinlong, he immediately laughed and said, "How are you, Master? Are these clothes comfortable?"
Ren Jinlong said: "The cloaks worn by your heroes in the Southern Dynasties are majestic, and they are much better than the Khitan costumes!"
Not long after, Yuan Xiu came to the house again. The three of them talked for a while, and then the banquet was served. Yuan Xiu picked up the wine glass and said: "Fourth brother, you and I are destined to meet each other. It is really a blessing from God."
, I offer you a glass of water and wine to express my feelings."
Zhao Meng also said: "Master, I borrowed your help to drink such fine wine. You don't know, this is my Majesty's wine, Bamboo Leaf Green. It tastes so good!"
In fact, he didn't need to say anything. Ren Jinlong had already smelled the mellow aroma emanating from the wine glass and couldn't help but salivate. He picked up the wine and drank it, then put down the glass and praised: "Your wine from the Southern Dynasties is still delicious, soft and mellow.
Like Khitan wine, it’s too spicy!”
Yuan Xiu smiled and said: "We are a huge country in the Central Plains. No matter in terms of clothing or wine and food, it is not comparable to the Khitan. My fourth brother, if you are willing, you can come to our Song Dynasty in the future. How about I give you a big house?"
Ren Jinlong drank two more glasses of wine, looked at Yuan Xiu silently, and then asked: "Brother Yuan Xiu, can you understand Khitan?"
Yuan Xiu nodded and said: "I have several Khitan servants in my house. When I have nothing to do, I will ask them to teach me a few words, so I can understand them a little."
Ren Jinlong said oh, so that's what happened. At this time, Zhao Meng couldn't help but said: "Master, are you a Han?"
Ren Jinlong smiled bitterly, nodded and said, "Yes."
Yuan Xiu then said: "Brother, just now I heard those Khitan soldiers calling you Lord Xiaozhong. What's going on? Can you tell me?"
Ren Jinlong looked at him squarely and remained silent. Yuan Xiu smiled again and said, "Brother, don't have any worries. I'm just curious. If you don't want to tell me, I won't force you. You are a good man and I admire you."
Regardless of who you are as a person, I am determined to be your friend!"
Ren Jinlong looked up to the sky with a heavy sigh, drank seven glasses of wine in a row, put down the glass and said slowly: "Although I am Han, I am an orphan. My adoptive father picked me up from the wild and brought me to Khitan to raise me.
I was originally just a boy in Yinlong Villa. By chance, I met Liang Wang Yelu Longxu by chance. Later, because of Song Dynasty King Yelu Xiyin's rebellion and rebellion, I couldn't stand it and acted righteously. Queen Xiao Chuo named me the Zhongyong Qinglonghou
, and gave me the name Xiao Xiaozhong. However, I don’t like this name, nor do I like the title of this marquis. There are many things that cannot be repeated. In my eyes, fame and wealth are not worth the safety of my relatives and friends. If I can
Going back to the past, I would rather not have this inexplicable ability and be a carefree boy in the villa!"
Zhao Meng and Yuan Xiu saw that his face was desolate, with tears flashing in his eyes, and they remained silent. The maid next to him filled up the wine for him, and Ren Jinlong drank it in one go, then suddenly threw away the wine glass.
Standing up and glaring at the north, he thought to himself: Demon Queen Xiao Chuo massacred dozens of people in my villa and killed old man Yan and little sister Xiaoxiao. This hatred is irreconcilable! When can I take revenge?
Seeing his agitated expression, Zhao Meng was at a loss for a moment. Yuan Xiu twirled his wine glass in silence and asked tentatively: "May I ask, brother, what exactly happened at your home?"
Just as Ren Jinlong was about to speak, there was a sudden pain in his head. He lowered his head to take a breath, and then slowly said: "It's nothing, it's just that my villa was massacred by Xiao Chuo, and no one of the 70 or 80 people in the entire villa was left alive.
All were beheaded!"
Zhao Meng immediately opened his mouth in surprise, and then he was afraid of the table and said angrily: "Master, why don't you avenge such a blood feud?"
Ren Jinlong looked sad and said bitterly: "Although I hate Xiao Chuo, after all, I have formed a campfire alliance with his son Manjushri. Now their orphaned and widowed mother is in charge of the Khitan government. I can't bear to kill her! Because the Khitan country still needs her,
My brother Manjusri needs her too!"
Yuan Xiu sighed slightly and waved to the maid beside him. The maid understood and immediately brought out a clean wine glass. Yuan Xiu filled it for him personally, and then said: "Fourth brother, you are a loyal man.
!If you don’t dislike it, how about you stay with me in the Song Dynasty from now on?”
Ren Jinlong shook his head and said: "No!"
Yuan Xiu asked anxiously: "Why is this?"
Ren Jinlong said: "Although I hate Xiao Chuo, I am a sworn brother with Manjusri Nu. How can I help the Song Dynasty and make him the Khitan enemy?"
Yuan Xiu suddenly looked disappointed, then continued: "Although you and Yelu Longxu are sworn brothers, why didn't he stop Xiao Chuo when he ordered the massacre of the Villa?"
Ren Jinlong said: "Because he and I sent the late emperor's coffin to Qianling Mausoleum in Beizhen at that time. He was not in the villa, so he didn't know his mother's decision."
At this time, Zhao Meng threw the wine glass again, stood up and shouted: "A man must avenge himself! Since Xiao Chuo killed your family, he is Zhao Meng's enemy! One day, I will definitely kill the Khitan."
Go ahead and cut up that thief demon queen and let it dry!"
Yuan Xiu was silent for a long while, his heart spinning rapidly. Seeing Zhao Meng like this, he immediately glanced at Ren Jinlong and watched his reaction. Ren Jinlong crushed the wine glass in his hands and gritted his teeth and said: "Zhao Meng, don't worry, I will take revenge on you."
I will definitely retaliate! I will definitely kill Xiao Chuo with my own hands when the time comes!"
Yuan Xiu's heart, which had been hanging for a long time, finally fell to the ground at this moment. He held the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. Looking at the dark night outside, he couldn't help but feel proud and thought to himself: This young man Xiaosi will never help the Khitan in this life.
In this case, as long as I treat him kindly, I don't have to worry about him not serving me in the Song Dynasty. He frowned and ordered the maid to fill Ren Jinlong's wine glass.
Ren Jinlong held the wine glass and said to the two of them: "Okay, don't say those depressing words, let's drink!"
Zhao Meng found another cup, raised it to Ren Jinlong and said: "Master, don't be unhappy. Now that you have arrived in Bianjing, you should have a good rest for a few days. I will take you around the city. If you are
Now that I'm gone, I don't know when we can see each other again!" At this point, he suddenly put down his wine glass, feeling lonely.
Ren Jinlong filled up his glass of wine and said loudly: "Man, what are you doing so much? I have to go back to Khitan for something. If you miss me, I can come back in the future! I have the fairy weapon Wind and Thunder Thorn, and I can come and go like the wind.
, I’ll see you in less than half a day!”
Zhao Meng became happy again, raised his head and drank the wine, saying: "Master, you must keep your word!"
Ren Jinlong said: "I can naturally keep my words! When the time comes, I will definitely teach you kung fu!"
As the night grew darker, the three of them ate and drank to their heart's content. The green bamboo leaves were soft and fragrant, and the intoxicating sweetness entered their mouths. The golden dragon, the whale, the tiger and the tiger drank, and it was very pleasant. It was not until midnight that several jars were bottomed out, and the three of them supported each other.
Stand up and walk outside the house.
But seeing the sky full of stars and the bright moonlight outside, Ren Jinlong was so drunk that he couldn't distinguish things and walked away. Zhao Meng opened his hands and called out: "Master, wait for me..." He spoke straightforwardly
Halfway through, he fell to the ground with a thud.
Yuan Xiu walked over, kicked him, and cursed: "Useless thing!" After saying that, he put his arms around Ren Jinlong's neck and walked forward.
Ren Jinlong said: "Where are we going?"
Yuan Xiu said: "Go to Longxin Pavilion, my father's bedroom, where he is resting!"
Ren Jinlong said blankly: "Who is the father?"
Yuan Xiu chuckled, patted Ren Jinlong's back and said, "Father is your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty?" Ren Jinlong shook his head vigorously and said hesitantly, "Isn't that the emperor?"
Yuan Xiu's steps were erratic. If he hadn't supported Ren Jinlong, he would have fallen down long ago. He smiled and said: "Yes, he is the emperor..."
While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived in front of Longxin Pavilion. When several imperial soldiers with swords saw Yuan Xiu, they hurriedly came over to salute. Yuan Xiu waved his hand and said: "Father... Is father here?"
One of the Imperial Guards said: "I just went to bed. Prince, what are you going to do..."
Yuan Xiu said: "This is my brother Xiaosi. We are going to see His Majesty. You can stay here." He said and staggered towards the pavilion with Ren Jinlong.
Several Imperial Guards looked at each other, and they were all deeply surprised. Prince Yuan Xiu usually knew the rules best, so why was he acting so recklessly today? He broke into Longxin Pavilion drunk, what should he do if he offended Emperor Taizong? But the prince was so drunk that he looked dizzy.
