An hour later, Pei Ji came to Xiao Rui in a panic.
"Master Marquis, Master Marquis, go and have a look. Third Master, Third Master, he..."
Xiao Rui was cooking in the kitchen. He quickly dropped the spatula and looked at Pei Ji in surprise, "Mr. Pei, what's going on? What happened? What's wrong with the third master? Don't worry and speak slowly."
"You come with me, quickly..."
"Wu Ma, you continue to cook, I'll go out and take a look." Xiao Rui didn't forget to take off his apron and told the cook.
"Okay, Master."
…
In the pavilion in the middle of the lake, two drunken people were still playing chess. At this time, there was no literati elegance. It was just two drunkards fighting on the chessboard.
"No, it's my turn to win and drink in this game. You old man is so unreasonable. Pour the wine, pour the wine, don't lose." Zhao Deyan pointed at Old Li Yuan and complained.
Old Li Yuan was not annoyed, and explained while pouring wine: "It's not that I can't afford to lose, it's just that it's too cold. I haven't had a drink for three consecutive games, and I'm shivering from the cold."
"Too cold? That's fine, just give up. As long as you give up, you can drink whatever you want. It's not right to drink secretly like this." Zhao Deyan deliberately provoked.
Old Li Yuan is so angry. He wants to win but can't, so he wants me to admit defeat? Pooh! I am the Supreme Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, how can I surrender to a junior like you?
"No, let's fight again! Whoever loses this round will drink."
…
"Master Marquis, you saw it. This Zhao Deyan is too ignorant. Even if he wins a game of chess, he dares to do this to the Supreme Emperor. If the Supreme Emperor is allowed to freeze out, how many lives will he have to pay for it?" Pei Ji was dissatisfied. said.
Xiao Rui chuckled and said: "Mr. Pei, does the third master know Zhao Deyan's identity?"
"It seems like I don't know."
"Then does Zhao Deyan know the identity of the third master?"
Pei Ji shook his head, "I don't know."
Xiao Rui stopped Pei Ji who wanted to break up the fight, "That's it. This is gentleman's chess between the two of us. Finally, there is someone who sincerely plays chess with the third master, so let's not cause any trouble."
"Master Hou..." Pei Ji opened his mouth.
"On weekdays, you and I play chess with the old man, and we deliberately let him go. Why, do you think the old man doesn't know his heart well? Is he really that happy? Although he is old, his heart is not faint. Let him play two games in one game. , if you give in to him every day, even if you win every day, it will be boring."
"Let them play. The old man lost the chess game, but gained happiness. Why not?"
"Besides, you are tortured by Master San on the chessboard every day, don't you want to see him deflated?"
The corners of Xiao Rui's mouth curved slightly, giving a sly reminder.
Pei Ji nodded subconsciously, then immediately shook his head, "No, no, no, no, I have never thought of it that way."
"Let's go, Mr. Pei. After serving you for so many years, it's time for you to take a break. Come with me to help in the kitchen. Why are you two playing chess?" Xiao Rui pulled Pei Ji back, and Pei Ji got off the slope, mouth Yiwan followed him back to the yard.
After a while, the banquet was arranged in the restaurant, and Xiao Rui asked Xiangcheng to call the Emperor for dinner.
Xiangcheng ran back in a panic, "Husband, husband, come quickly, something happened to Grandpa Huang."
Everyone was so frightened that they quickly ran out to see. In the pavilion in the center of the lake, old Li Yuan was lying on his back and leaning on the pillar in the pavilion. Zhao Deyan was lying on the chessboard. From a distance, it looked like both of them had been poisoned.
Xiao Rui rushed over to take a look, oh... where is the accident and poisoning? It was obvious that he drank too much and was drunk.
"Okay, okay, don't run away. The old man is fine, he's just drunk. Second brother and fifth brother, come here and help carry him back."
Xiao Rui pulled Zhao Deyan and laughed and scolded: "You are really rude. Do you know who he is? Dare you be so merciless?"
Zhao Deyan was drunk and said in a daze: "I...have never met an opponent in chess! I specialize in dealing with all kinds of dissatisfaction! There are no young or old on the chessboard. That old man, if you are dissatisfied, let's try again!"
puff……
I hope you won't regret this after you sober up tomorrow. Xiao Rui covered his eyes.
Xue Li laughed so hard that his stomach ached. Li Junxian said weakly: "Master, does he...don't know who the third master is?"
"What do you think?"
…
During the dinner, Xue Li met two familiar figures, Liang Shidu's two sons and his two cheap brothers-in-law - Liang Luoren and Liang Luojie.
"Brother-in-law, congratulations on your triumphant return. How are our sister and children?"
Xue Li raised his eyebrows, "Why are you two still here? Brother, what's going on? What are you doing with these two souls?"
ah? When the two of them heard this, they were almost frightened to death. From their brother-in-law's tone, he was planning to kill someone.
"Brother-in-law, please forgive me. We haven't done anything bad. We have been studying and going to school. Really, you have to believe us!"
…
Xiao Rui smiled and said: "Although they are useless, they are your cheap relatives after all. It is up to you to decide how to deal with them."
"That's easy, I'll take care of them right now." Xue Li stretched out his hand to one side and picked it up like a chicken.
The two cried for their father and mother, howling, "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, please spare your life..."
Xue Li scolded: "Let you all know clearly that your good father Liang Shidu, who poked my back before the war, secretly contacted the Turks and betrayed me. As a result, I almost lost the whole army and suffered defeat."
"The person who sent you to Chang'an was to be a hostage. Now that he has detained you, he still dares to betray me, which means he doesn't want you two at all."
"Remember, the person who killed you was not Xue Li, but your good father. Don't make the wrong complaint before the Lord of Hell."
The two of them were so scared that they lost their minds. When they heard this, they started to curse, "Master Liang... I **&&%￥#@, brother-in-law, we really don't know anything, we are unjust..."
Xiangcheng pushed Xiao Rui and winked. Xiao Rui whispered: "How can these two souls have deep memories without a good scare? The Liang family doesn't have a fuel-efficient lamp."
Seeing that the time was almost up, Xiao Rui walked out, grabbed Xue Li and persuaded: "Second brother, forget it, let these two souls go. We just went home for a reunion today, and seeing blood is unlucky. Anyway, , they were also the children’s uncles, and they killed the unsightly ones.”
Xue Li was so angry that he threw the two of them out of the door, "You can avoid the death penalty, but you can't escape the living penalty. I originally thought that when I came back, I would look at your talents and find you a job to do. Now, if I don't kill you, I will be doing my best. Now. Your good father, Master Liang, is neighbor to Jie Li in Chang'an. You go and accompany him."
"What??? Be neighbors with Jie Li? If you don't go, we don't want...brother-in-law..." No matter how stupid they are, they understand that their father is under house arrest in Chang'an. If we go, won't we be under house arrest as well? Die alone?
Xue Li said with a cold face: "Come here, send these two souls to Chang'an and throw them into Anlebo Liangshidu Mansion. Tell the servants to keep an eye on them and never let them out."
Soon, guards came out and took the two away. The whole yard was finally clean.
In Chang'an City, the lonely Master Liang was extremely happy to see his two sons. He originally thought it was a scene where father and son shed tears to recognize their relatives. Unexpectedly, the two sons looked at each other, waved their fists at the same time, and beat their father with a combined double strike. Half dead.
"Son, you, what are you doing..."
