() After a while, the waiter brought the food and set it on the table piping hot.
I have to say that the dishes in Zuixianlou are extremely exquisite. Let’s not say whether they are delicious or not. Just looking at them and smelling them will make you want to eat them.
"Come on, Ah Kong, eat while it's hot. The food at Zuixian Restaurant is much better than at Liji Restaurant in Qingshui County."
Yu Xiandeng greeted Lei Xingkong and put vegetables into his bowl.
"Thank you, second brother."
Lei Xingkong tried to take a bite, and it was indeed good. He asked casually: "Is the food and wine in Zuixianlou not cheap?"
Yu Xiandeng lowered his voice and said: "This meal only cost me half a month's salary!"
"ah?"
Lei Xingkong was also surprised. Having said that, this Zuixian Tower is no longer extremely expensive.
I have long heard that compared to ordinary county soldiers, the pay of the Yulin Army is nearly twice as high, but I didn't expect that just such a meal would cost half a month's pay of the Yulin Army. How can ordinary people afford it?
?
But at a glance, there were no empty seats in Zuixian Tower, which showed how wealthy Yongdu was.
After thinking about it, Lei Xingkong said: "Well, Brother Yu yelled a bit too much. If you don't want to go up, don't let me go!"
Yu Xiandeng shook his head and said: "Since I called you, feel free to eat. I didn't know that you were born to be a foodie. How can you have more food? I'm afraid it's not enough."
"..."
Lei Xingkong was speechless.
When I was a child, I was so talented that I couldn't eat enough, so I was nicknamed "foodie" by those close to me.
But now that his cultivation level is getting higher and higher, he no longer needs to eat so much, but it seems that he can't take off his "foodie" hat easily.
Seeing that Lei Xingkong remained silent, Yu Xiandeng thought that this younger brother who had "never seen the world" was feeling sorry for him for half a month's salary, so he patted Lei Xingkong's shoulder like an "elder brother" and said: "Akong, you
It's normal for me to treat you to a good meal when you're here for the first time. Don't worry, I can't afford it if you want to eat again. Don't worry about it. Eat it quickly. The food won't taste good when it's cold.
.”
The table full of food was served, and coupled with the kindness of the second brother of the Yu family, Lei Xingkong immediately became unceremonious and started to eat as much as he wanted.
When Yu Xiandeng saw Lei Xingkong like this, he was also happy. He immediately ate and picked up vegetables for Lei Xingkong. It was really like an elder brother taking care of his younger brother.
The two of them ate and talked, and a long time passed unknowingly.
Of course, Yu Xiandeng was talking most of the time, while Lei Xingkong just ate in silence, and only answered a few words when asked.
"Akong, tell me, how did you achieve military exploits in the county army?" As he spoke, Yu Xiandeng suddenly asked.
Lei Xingkong glanced at Yu Xiandeng and did not stop eating. He just asked, "Didn't uncle say that when he sent you a message?"
"My father only said in the letter that you have made meritorious service, and did not go into details. He also said that after you enter Beijing, I will discuss things with you in the future and cannot just act on your own." After a slight pause, Yu Xiandeng continued.
He said: "I can see that my father thinks highly of you, and I am curious about what you did in the county army to attract my father to think so highly of you."
"It's nothing, I just happened to encounter something. If my second brother wants to hear it, I will tell you."
Lei Xingkong thought for a while, then stopped his bowl and chopsticks, and briefly recounted his experience in the Qingshui County Army.
Of course, in his narration, he briefly went over many places without going into too much detail.
Just like the night beast chao, he only said that the immortal came out of the sky and drove the wild beast away, but did not say how he fought through life and death in a bloody battle; it is also like how he defended the Dibei outpost under the siege of the Sky Fire Wolf Cavalry.
As for the matter, Lei Xingkong only focused on the incident where the Bailu County cavalry mistakenly left the city to fight, resulting in the entire army being annihilated. However, he only mentioned a few words about how he and the soldiers at the outpost held the outpost.
Although Yu Xiandeng was born as a general and was intelligent, he had only joined the Yulin Army for a few months and had never actually been on the battlefield. Therefore, he was just a new recruit. After listening to Lei Xingkong's story, not only did he not hear the key points
, on the contrary, I listened with gusto and found it thrilling.
When Lei Xingkong finished speaking, Yu Xiandeng, a militarist, seemed to be greatly touched. He praised Lei Xingkong repeatedly: "Good, really good, A Kong. I usually see you silently, but I am afraid of you when I join the county army."
What a loss, but I didn’t expect that you didn’t fall into the reputation of our Qingshui County generals’ bravery at all. Well done, tsk, tsk, tsk, my blood boiled when I heard it, I wish I could kill the barbarian dogs with you.”
There's no need to be so excited... Lei Xingkong looked at the excited expression on the face of the second brother of the Yu family, and felt a little bit dumbfounded in his heart. He just wondered what would happen if Yu Xianden went to the battlefield in the future and experienced life and death.
What about a picture?
"No wonder my father thinks so highly of you, Ah Kong. After hearing about your time in the county army, I was impressed by you." Yu Xiandeng thought for a while and then said seriously: "A Kong, you have to listen to your brother.
It is rare to get a recommendation from the county army to join the Habayashi Army. In the future, you must not join the Nine City Guards. You must go to the Imperial Guards or the Izumo Guards. Only after going there can you have a good future."
Lei Xingkong had made up his mind before, and naturally he would not listen to Yu Xiandeng's words. However, he did not say anything, but secretly thought in his heart: "Looking at his words and deeds, if Dayong goes to war with Jin Guosheng in the future, I'm afraid he will try his best to
He is about to go to the front line. Regardless of whether we can stop him or not, we must first make him a soul flag so that his cultivation level can be improved, and then there will be more chances of saving his life."
After Yu Xiandeng "explained" the serious matters, he asked some questions about the Qingshui County Army, and Lei Xingkong answered them one by one.
The two of them were eating and talking, and soon the large table was completely covered with food.
After looking at the situation, Yu Xiandeng asked: "Akong, where are you staying now?"
Lei Xingkong quickly told him about living with the caravan.
After pondering for a while, Yu Xiandeng said: "There are still a few days until the time limit for reporting to the Yulin Army. You have just arrived, so don't be in a hurry. Let's walk around the capital by yourself first. I will take you to report when it's almost done."
"Okay, I'll listen to my second brother."
Lei Xingkong thought this arrangement was good and immediately agreed.
After dinner, Yu Xianden paid the bill, and the two brothers headed towards Zuixian Tower together.
Just as I walked to the door, suddenly——
"Yu Xiandeng!"
Outside the gate, several people came towards me. One of them saw Yu Xiandeng and immediately shouted loudly.
"Well……"
Yu Xiandeng was stunned for a moment, then raised his head to look. When he saw those people clearly, his expression suddenly changed, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.
