Xue Rengui and Luo Feng both seldom drink alcohol, but they have a good capacity for drinking. Fortunately, Mr. Chai paid enough money when he entered the store. Otherwise, they would only choose the old wine in the store, which completely subverted the fact that in the past, it was rare to drink alcohol and now it is a good drink. In such a situation, the boss may send someone to ask whether he is a person who eats the King's meal, so that he can be beaten with a stick as soon as possible.
Meng Xinghe didn't know that Luo Feng had come back from Chang'an. He couldn't stay in the room and wondered whether he should go to the first floor to order some side dishes and a pot of good wine to pass the time. Who knows, when he went downstairs, he happened to see Luo Feng and Xue Rengui was sitting by the window at the entrance of the restaurant. There were already several empty wine jars on the wine table. What a boy, you didn’t even ask me to drink. Meng Xinghe slowly walked over.
"Meng Da, brother-in-law," although the two of them drank a lot of wine, their heads were still clear. Although they had said that they would kill anyone who disturbed them, they did not dare to use violence when the boss, Meng Xinghe, came.
Meng Xinghe pulled up a bench and sat in the middle: "Waiter, please bring two jars of good wine to this table and some special dishes. Be quick." After he ordered, he seemed to feel that something was missing, and added: "The food is two One copy will be sent here, and one copy will be sent to the guest in Room 8 on the second floor."
"Okay," the waiter shouted, and ran into the kitchen to order the food.
At this time, Meng Xinghe filled a large bowl for the two of them. "Don't just look at me. I'm late. I'll punish myself with three bowls first." Meng Xinghe laughed, raised his head and drank three bowls in a row. In this era, The alcohol content of the liquor is not very high, and Meng Xinghe could still handle three bowls of it.
The two little ghosts watched intently and calmly. After Meng Xinghe finished three bowls of wine without blushing or out of breath, they looked at each other and immediately acted: "Meng Da, come here, I'll give you three bowls."
Luo Feng picked up a large bowl of wine and took a sip first. When Meng Xinghe didn't even find an excuse to refuse, he had already finished the second bowl, and then drank the third bowl. After finishing, he wiped the His face was flushed with red, waiting for Meng Xinghe to speak.
Meng Xinghe showed off once he came here and drank three bowls in a row. Now that he was riding a tiger and couldn't get off, he had to bite the bullet and drink three more bowls. Although the alcohol content was not high, his stomach was not a bottomless pit. After six bowls of wine, he felt a little dizzy. .
However, before he could take a breath, Xue Rengui panicked and refused to let Meng Xinghe stop. He raised the big bowl and said, "Brother-in-law, just because you are my brother-in-law, I have to drink these three bowls of wine with you."
When Xue Rengui said this, Meng Xinghe didn't even have a reason to refuse. It's not easy to be someone's brother-in-law, especially Xue Rengui's brother-in-law. Meng Xinghe finished three more bowls, and he had already drank one jar at the beginning.
"Hiccup," Meng Xinghe drank too quickly and unclogged his belly. At this time, the second brother had already brought hot food and wine and put them on the table, "My guest, the girl upstairs asked me to remind you, Tell you to stay awake at all times,"
Meng Xinghe glanced upstairs and saw Miss Du leaving. In fact, aside from her strong personality, this girl also had many things that touched people.
"Meng Da, are you thinking about Sister Xuanxuan?" Luo Feng revealed Meng Xinghe's current thoughts in one word. In his opinion, Sister Xuanxuan in his heart is a flawless woman. There is no one in Chang'an. She has many admirers. As a daughter, she can serve as the concubine of the Imperial College, but this is an attractive point in an era dominated by men.
Meng Xinghe smacked his chin: "I was wondering why such an outstanding person like Miss Du couldn't get married,"
Luo Feng also imitated Meng Xinghe's thinking, and said in confusion: "Maybe it's because Sister Xuanxuan has never met such an outstanding man as Meng Da before,"
This flattery was so comfortable to shoot. Meng Xinghe glanced out the window. Winter is coming, can spring be far behind? He was inexplicably thinking about many questions in his heart, and he just drank one bowl of wine without taking another. As for what he was thinking about, even Meng Xinghe didn't know. It was like a horse racing and watching flowers. He only felt that his mind was hazy and was no different from being in a daze.
Luo Feng and Xue Rengui couldn't interrupt Meng Xinghe's expression. They all knew that Meng Da often thought about things in his head that no one else knew.
"Hiss," Meng Xinghe's mouth curled up: "Why are you here so soon? It seems that you are not happy with this drink again." Meng Xinghe put down the big bowl in his hand. Although a group of people he knew came outside the restaurant, he knew that They were people who came to deal with him, but Meng Xinghe did not panic. He was still drinking and eating with a calm expression, and seemed not to be afraid of anything.
Meng Xinghe was confident and pretended to be as calm as a rock, but Xue Rengui and Luo Feng were different. When they saw Hou Junji and Zhang Shigui coming outside, they both stood up almost at the same time. Meng Xinghe was now an important criminal in the imperial court and the leader of the Taiping Army. Of course, they knew the intention of Hou Junji, Zhang Shigui and others without guessing, but they could not imagine how these two people knew that Meng Xinghe was at Gaosheng Inn.
With a "swish" sound, the two of them jumped out at the same time. Even though they had drunk a lot of wine, their movements were as skillful and agile as monkeys.
"Surround this place for me." Hou Junji had just arrived at the door of Gaosheng Inn and assigned people to guard various important places. Because he must capture Meng Xinghe today, he naturally would not let anyone go who could make Meng Xinghe Where Galaxy escaped.
Facts have proved that people are runaways who like to watch the excitement rather than create it. Just now, the Gaosheng Inn was surrounded by soldiers from the imperial court. This was a very threatening threat to both the diners inside and the boss. The diners dispersed and the boss cowered inside. Inside, he didn't dare to come out to ask questions. He only hoped that the military lords outside would not smash up his shop and everything would be fine. If they smashed up his shop, he would not be able to find a reason to talk about it. Officials and people, officials and people, No matter which dynasty, officials are an organization that ignores the law and exists with great rationality.
Meng Xinghe knew that he could no longer hide today, so he stood up from where he was sitting: "Brother Hou, long time no see, do you want to come in and have a drink?" Meng Xinghe held up a large bowl filled with a bowl of wine and talked. There was absolutely no fear in his smile.
"Haha, Meng Xinghe, you are indeed alive. You rebel, you will not be able to escape today if I ask you to take wings," Hou Junji smiled proudly. He seemed not to be in a hurry to catch Meng Xinghe, but wanted to watch it slowly. Wait until he stops laughing, so that Hou Junji can get the pleasure of revenge.
"Rebel," Meng Xinghe began to pretend to be stupid: "Brother Hou, how do you interpret this?"
If there is a person in the world whose face is thicker than the foundation of the Great Wall, it must be Meng Xinghe. However, Hou Junji is used to Meng Xinghe's shamelessness, and he has long been trained to play tricks on him. Listening to his answer that he pretended to be confused, Hou Junji, who had deprived Meng Xinghe of his power of life and death, was laughing and saying, "Brother Meng, can't you remember that you were at Hukou City that day, for a Taiping witch and tens of thousands of people?" Is there a confrontation between the Tang army? If you don’t remember, I’ll remind you again now, so you should remember it, right?”
Hou Junji felt very satisfied. Those few words just made him feel that the resentment in his heart was relieved a lot.
Meng Xinghe touched his chin and pretended to think: "After Brother Hou said this, I really remembered this matter. However, I want to say a word of greeting to brother, who on earth meant that I am a rebel?"
"It's the prince," Hou Junji said without thinking, but he immediately realized that he had been fooled by Meng Xinghe, so he hurriedly added, "The prince has ordered people to hurry up and let the Holy One decide whether you are guilty of rebellion. Now The imperial edict has come to Jiangdu, what are you if you are not a rebel?"
"Oh," Hou Junji said passionately, and Meng Xinghe was able to deal with him with just one word. Hou Junji almost rushed in with his troops in anger, but Meng Xinghe had already figured out the holy intention. , Hou Junji led his troops here today. He must have never seen the imperial edict being instigated by Li Chengqian to show off his power, but he never guessed why Li Chengqian knew where he came to Jiangdu and where he lived. Could it be that someone leaked the news to What is his purpose for doing this?
"Brother Hou, since you said that the Holy One will decide my crime, then I would like to ask, where is the holy decree, and where is the document from Shangshu Province expelling me from my official position? Could it be that the prince said that I am a rebel and I am a rebel? He still Whether or not he takes the Holy Emperor seriously, in the Tang Dynasty, it is the Holy Emperor who has the final say, or his prince Li Chengqian." Meng Xinghe had been brewing this sentence for a long time. Before Li Shimin gave up the treasure, Li Chengqian became very ambitious. It is a taboo to act on one's own initiative.
Sure enough, Hou Junji was dumbfounded by several of his questions: "I, you, sophistry," he really couldn't find anything to say to refute, but everything Meng Xinghe said was reasonable, and Hou Junji was so clever in his rhetoric. After all, he lost a lot to Meng Xinghe. It is true that he had never seen the imperial edict, and he did not know that the Ministry of Finance had dismissed Meng Xinghe from the post of Minister of Household Affairs. Even Meng Xinghe's current whereabouts were told by Li Chengqian. In order to claim credit, he He rushed here without stopping, originally planning to capture Meng Xinghe and go back to perform a meritorious service, but now that he has soldiers in hand, he hesitates to take action.
Meng Da is really a military god. What does it mean to be a soldier who can subdue others without fighting? Seeing how Hou Jun gathered all the troops in his hands, he did not dare to offend Meng Xinghe even a hair. This is a soldier who can subdue others. I thought there was a battle. Xue Rengui and Luo Feng, who were already gearing up for a fight and ready to kill everyone, no longer cared about Meng Xinghe's comfort, and actually didn't bother to go back to the table to eat food and drink.
"Secretary, go prepare a few tables of food and wine to entertain the military masters outside. Remember to hurry up, lest the military masters wait too long and damage the store. I won't lose money." At this time, Meng Xinghe He drank the wine in his hand and said with a smile, which could lighten the atmosphere.
Hou Junji and Zhang Shigui were dumbfounded. Were they here to capture Meng Xinghe or to drink? They were a bit lost.
The waiter, who was hiding in the corner and almost wet his pants in fear, ran tremblingly towards the kitchen at the back.
"Pfft,"
At this moment, just when the tense situation downstairs turned into a farce, suddenly from the edge of the second floor, there was a sound that was comparable to the rare smile of King You of Zhou during the beacon fire play of the princes Bao Si.
Du Yatou, you will die if you don’t laugh. Damn it, it’s over. Now three against three hundred, it’s really calm. Isn’t this girl trying to trick me on purpose?
