Now that everyone is here, the next step is to find a place to drink.
With Yuen Long following us, it looked good, but now we are in some trouble.
The men from the county government all respected him as if they were their young master, so it was hard to find a shabby restaurant.
They all went to Li Po under the guise of being a guest and doing whatever he wanted.
Grandma, Li Po just wandered around the city a few times. Where can he find it?
It was Li Po who said that my little brother is short of money and asks all my brothers to be merciful.
Speaking openly and openly is more pleasing to the ears of these fierce men than hiding it and tucking it in.
In the end, it was Yuchi who took everyone to a familiar restaurant in Nancheng.
When we arrived at the place, more than a dozen people rushed in and took over the shop.
The storekeepers were a little frightened, but having Yuchi among them made them feel more at ease, and they greeted them attentively.
Li Po, Yuchi, Cheng Zhijie, Yuen Long, and Luo gathered at the table, and everyone else spread out.
Levels are almost everywhere, and there is no need to say anything about them.
Wine and meat were served one after another. Li Po picked up the big bowl, stood up without hesitation, and said loudly: "I'm really happy to get to know you all today. I, Li Dalang, do it first as a courtesy."
After saying that, he drank a bowl of wine and looked really generous.
Everyone cheered and raised their bowls in response. For a while, the store was filled with the sound of cows drinking.
While Yuchi drank, he secretly looked at Li Po.
I was also murmuring in my heart, they say that Kansai people get up quickly, but this time I saw it with my own eyes. It took only a few months for them to go from being a refugee to a county government.
The boy who was so attentive back then is now on an equal footing with him, and there is nothing awkward about calling friends.
Li Po didn't care so much, and he didn't care what others thought. He knew that he couldn't be cautious when interacting with these rough and powerful men.
So, I drank one bowl of wine, and then poured another bowl, thanking Cheng Zhijie for recommending him to the county government.
Cheng Zhijie suddenly felt his face light up. In fact, he was also muttering in his mind that the old guy in the stable was not easy to mess with, and everyone in the county knew it.
When he first heard that Li Po had gone to the stable, he felt a little sorry. This was a mistake in handling the matter.
As a result, more than two months later, when he had almost forgotten about it, this guy came out again, taking Yuen Long with him. Looking at Yuen Long's behavior, you could tell that this kid was getting along well in the stables, and Xu was with that guy.
The old man has become a relative?
So he, like Yuchi, was surprised.
He laughed loudly and drank a large bowl. When he saw Yuen Long pouring wine for Li Po diligently, he suddenly felt that his outlook on life was shocked. He couldn't understand the world anymore.
Then Li Po paid tribute to Yuchi and thanked him for helping him at the city gate.
Yuchi was a little embarrassed, and drinking was extremely enjoyable. He and Cheng Zhijie were completely different people. If I couldn't help myself, I just felt sorry for myself, and wouldn't give myself any excuses, so he was the one who drank the most with Li Po afterwards.
Luo San is easy to deal with. As long as this kid has wine to drink and meat to eat, he won't think too much about it. It doesn't matter whether you are a refugee or have entered the county government, it doesn't matter in his eyes.
As for Yuen Long, just omit it. Now Li Po's status in the stables is almost the same as that of the old man. Yuen Long has completely become a junior figure.
After a round of toasts, the store became noisy.
The soldiers were shouting and shouting, and their mothers were flying around. The noise was so loud that it could almost tear down the roof.
After a few more rounds of drinking, the faces of everyone at this table turned red.
I had no choice but to come over one by one to propose a toast. It was not enough if I didn’t drink. It was as if I were married to someone else’s family. No matter how low the alcohol content was, it was still wine. After a while, Li Po felt the wine soup in his mouth.
They all have a bitter taste.
But that's how northern men are. The more they drink, the better they talk. When he was half drunk, even Yuchi started talking more.
"I heard that Goguryeo is about to be attacked. You two are in the county government. Did you hear anything?"
Cheng Zhijie took a breath of alcohol and said, "I've heard it a long time ago. We're adjusting food over there. Didn't you see the county magistrate inspecting the warehouse? I also heard that a lot of people are going to be unlucky this time. Grandpa.
If you step down, someone might want to be killed."
Yuchi nodded, "It's nothing. Since we are going to fight, food and grass are naturally the top priority, and we cannot tolerate others messing around."
Cheng Zhijie chuckled, "I don't know whether it's chaos or not, but I heard that all the big families in the city are collecting grain. Humph, if there's a fight over there, the people who will suffer... But...
It’s not just Mayi.”
As he said that, he turned to look at Li Po, "You haven't heard anything while you are with the elders? When will the war start? Are you going to transfer people from Mayi?"
Li Po's eyes were blurred, as if he was drunk. He just chuckled and said, "Whether we fight or not doesn't have much to do with me. What? You two brothers want to go to Hebei?"
Cheng Zhijie laughed loudly, "If you go to Hebei, go to Hebei. Sooner or later, I will use swords and guns to gain fame. I can also go back to my hometown in Shandong to see my mother. Unfortunately, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it this time."
Yuchi finished the wine bowl and said, "My dear brother, you are so heroic, but even if you stay in Mayi, it is not necessarily a bad thing..."
"Dalang, do you think so?"
Li Po rolled his eyes and thought for a long time before he understood what they were talking about. He couldn't help but curse in his heart, "Damn it, are you still thinking about my origins?"
After pondering for a while, he agreed: "Brother Yuchi is saying that the Turks may take the opportunity to go south?"
Suddenly, Yuen Long, who was competing with Luo San, intervened and said carelessly, "The Turks can't come, Qimin is dead, and the new Khan is busy. I heard that he has even petitioned to remarry Yicheng.
The emperor has approved the princess as his wife..."
Before he could finish speaking, Li Po slapped him on the head with his hand and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense."
Yuen Long looked around, bowed his head and drank in grievance.
Li Po showed his authority and turned around to laugh, "Brothers, don't listen to his nonsense. What does he know about the emperor and the princess? Please don't spread the word, come here, come and have a drink."
In fact, these few sentences are enough.
Cheng Zhijie laughed loudly, picked up the bowl and touched one with Li Po.
Yuchi was a little disappointed, and then he joined the battle group with a smile, as if no one had heard those words just now.
And these news almost all happened at the end of the sixth year of Daye.
Shibi Khan who ascended the throne of Khan, in accordance with Turkic customs, made Princess Sui Yicheng, the wife of his father Qimin Khan, a ketun. In other words, he married his father's wife.
Because the Sui Emperor wanted to conquer Goguryeo, the Sui Emperor Yang Guang happily approved the edict.
Let the Turkic Royal Court successfully complete the initial integration of power.
Immediately, in the winter of the sixth year of Daye, and in the following years, Shibi Khan successively attacked his subordinates, and gradually began to squeeze the living space of the Western Turkic tribes, and once again extended the tentacles of the Turkic Khanate to the Western Regions.
