Chapter 549: Fighting over wine with pig shoulders
Why is it so strange that the whole world doesn’t know? It is a hero to act without hesitation! --------Northern Song Dynasty. Zeng Gong's "Sage"
It is said that Jiang Wei pushed his mother to bid farewell to Chen Long, and agreed to come to see him tomorrow with King Ma Ming's "Ming King's Eighteen Spears" gun skills secret book in exchange for the qualification to participate in Zheng Xuan's lecture conference. It was already setting sun, and Chen Long was filled with emotion as he watched the back of Jiang Wei's cart turning around the corner and disappearing. Such close contact with the heroes of the Three Kingdoms made Chen Long feel that it was worthwhile to travel through this life.
The image of Ma Yunluo rose again in his heart, and was immediately covered by Diao Chan's peerless appearance. Thinking of his biggest goal, which was to take the two girls away safely, Diao Chan's unknown whereabouts occupied his mind again. Chen Long quickened his pace towards the greenhouse where he lived, hoping that Lu Chang's tracking plan would make progress.
The shops facing the streets in Tianshui have all closed, except for some small restaurants, but business is gradually booming. Chen Long walked to the opposite side of the greenhouse and saw Lu Changzheng leading a few people to take a seat in the tavern next to him. He hurriedly leaned over, sat down and asked, "What do you think?"
Lu Chang quickly glanced around and saw that no one was paying attention. He shook his head and said, "The people following Yan Xing have confirmed the location of the inn where he lives and arranged for 24-hour surveillance, but they have not found him coming into contact with anyone else."
"Those who were following the City Lord's Mansion and Zhang Ji's Mansion found that several carriages and goods entered Zhang Ji's Mansion in the afternoon. Judging from the depth of the ruts, they seemed to be quite heavy. I don't know what they were."
Chen Long instantly remembered the carriage that hit a pedestrian that afternoon. The carriage was covered with weapons and the driver was holding the city lord's token. Since Zhang was in his private residence, why did he store so many weapons?
Chen Long murmured: "I wonder where Zheng Xuan's conference will be held?" He wanted to turn around and ask Zheng Gan immediately where Zheng Xuan's lecture was definitely held.
If Zheng Xuan was giving lectures in Zhang Ji's private house, then everything would be extremely weird. If Zhang Ji was only using it for defense, why would he need to transport weapons in advance? It can only be understood as equipping private soldiers or retainers. Since private soldiers are equipped, it is most likely to deal with a certain high-level general who is qualified to participate in Zheng Xuan's lectures, or the sworn enemy of Zhang Ji and Zhang Ji. Who could this person be?
Chen Long tried hard to suppress his curiosity. This matter may have nothing to do with his purpose of participating in Zheng Xuan's conference. It may have something to do with Li Ru and Diao Chan hiding in the city lord's palace. It may just be their internal infighting. He must eliminate all interference, and his goal is to rescue Diao Chan and win the decisive battle to find a bride.
Chen Long smelled a hint of danger in the air, but felt that this danger had nothing to do with his ultimate goal. However, this dangerous atmosphere also prompted Chen Long Group to find and determine several escape routes in the future. With Chen Long's skills, escaping is not a problem, but it is different with his beloved wife Diao Chan and many of his men. This escape passage must ensure that everyone can escape.
At this time, the meal was served. Chen Long chewed Tianshui's coarse whole grain pastry, paired it with a pot of pork shoulder, and drank a few mouthfuls of millet porridge to satisfy his hunger. Pork shoulder is pork front leg meat. In ancient times, it was cooked by barbecue and cut into slices. Chen Long picked up a piece of pig shoulder meat and put it in his mouth. He couldn't help but think of the idiom pig shoulder fighting with wine, which is often used to describe the heroic spirit of heroes, and he couldn't help but feel heroic. "Historical Records·The Chronicles of Xiang Yu" records that "Kui then entered and stood in Xixiang, covered with curtains. He looked at King Xiang with angry eyes... King Xiang said: 'Strong man, give me the wine.' Then they fought with the wine. Kuai thanked him and got up. Stand and drink it. King Xiang said: "Give me a pig shoulder." Then you will have a pig shoulder for life. Fan Kuai put his shield on the ground, put it on the pig's shoulder, drew his sword, cut it and ate it..."
How can we look up to the sages now that we have pig shoulders but no wine? Chen Long suddenly became proud and shouted: "Waiter! If there is good wine, just bring it over!" The waiter happily agreed and immediately took out two clay jars. The sealed rice wine was displayed in several large bowls and filled up for Chen Long and others.
Chen Long raised the bowl and looked at the brothers who were alive and dead, and said with great pride: "You are born as a hero, and you die as a ghost hero. How can a hero ask where he comes from? It is not a hero to be a hero if he does not gain fame despite being in trouble. The whole world does not know why it is not surprising. ? Only those who do their best without hesitation will become heroes! Ride a green dragon and walk on the clouds! Swim around the world and ride on the wind! Come on, come on, brothers, do it!"
Lu Chang and others came back to collect the tracking information. Unexpectedly, a few slices of pig shoulder and a few bowls of turbid wine would reveal the true feelings of the lord. They were all infected by Chen Long's arrogance for a while, and they all cheered and drank the bowls in one gulp, immediately This attracted the attention of the drinkers at the nearby tables, who all turned to look at the commotion at Chen Long's table.
One of them, a strong and powerful man, heard Chen Long's heroic words and couldn't help shouting loudly. He stood up and rushed over with a bowl, praising: "What a man who was born as a hero and died as a ghost hero! This brother, I He Shaoge offers you a bowl!" After saying this, he raised the bowl and drank it all in one gulp. After drinking, he laughed and threw the wine bowl in his hand directly into the sky.
When Chen Long and Lu Chang looked up, they saw that the person was tall, with dark brown eyes, a long scarf on his head, and a full beard. He was wearing a blue and black loose homemade brocade gown, which was longer than the knees, and looked like a cheongsam. The collar, cuffs and placket are all embroidered with flowers, and the oblique placket is embedded with a three-finger-wide pattern. The coat is a collarless, sleeveless, and buttonless sheepskin jacket with long hair hanging all around. The thick calves are tied with long A pair of linen leg wraps, a pair of large shoes shaped like a boat, with slightly tilted toes and embroidered cloud patterns on the surface. The most eye-catching thing is a foreign scimitar hanging from his waist. There is also a shiny iron fire sickle pinned to the handle of the scimitar.
This person was dressed in a attire that was obviously not Han Chinese, and his clothes were gorgeous. He should be a noble from a foreign race. Although Chen Long didn't recognize the attire, Lu Chang vaguely recognized him and said quietly: "This person looks like a Qiang servant under Ma Chao."
Chen Long was reminded that he had indeed heard this person's name just now, but because it was pronounced by an alien pronunciation, he had not heard it accurately. He picked up the wine bowl and said: "This dear friend is also here to participate in the Hundred Tribes Conference, right? My younger brother Huaiyang is from Lushui Hu. I just felt it, but I didn't expect to alarm my brother. May I ask my brother's name? , and where did it come from?" He asked someone to bring him a full glass of wine, and they drank it all at the same time.
The man laughed loudly and said: "I am Erhe Shaoge, the leader of the Baima Qiang tribe, and I respect the heroes the most in my life. You just made such bold words and expressed my life's thoughts! Come, have another bowl!" After that, he poured it out himself. Another bowl of rice wine.
Chen Long was extremely happy when he saw this man's heroic spirit. If he could become brothers with these foreign friends from the Three Kingdoms period, prevent them from invading the Central Plains, guide them to be self-sufficient, and educate them to aspire to civilization, he might be able to prevent the Five-Year Plan. The catastrophe of the Chinese nation caused by the chaos in China. Although I am insignificant, if I want to change this history of blood and tears, starting from this moment, if I can do it vigorously, why not regret that my body will turn into powder? !
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
