Early the next morning, after washing up and having breakfast, Ye Mingsheng, who was going to Liaoyang tomorrow, took Ye Dong and Ye Kui to a restaurant called Xingwangju near the north gate of Luo'an and found a casual restaurant. I sat down in the private room by the window.
"Waiter, just order some special dishes, and bring me a bottle of good wine!"
Looking at the waiter walking over with a smile on his face, Ye Mingsheng waved his hand and said lightly:
"Okay, sir!" The waiter nodded and said:
Maybe it's not the time to eat, and there aren't many diners. The store serves the food very quickly. In just one cup of tea, Ye Mingsheng had a cucumber cold dish, a braised grass carp, and a plate of fried peanuts in front of him. rice, a plate of fried small yellow croaker, a plate of soy-flavored pork feet, and a pot of rice wine.
Although the food was served very quickly, the taste was average. However, Ye Mingsheng didn’t really come here to eat or drink during his trip, so it didn’t matter...
Pouring himself a glass of rice wine, Ye Mingsheng looked at the north door outside the window and drank slowly. Although the food in this restaurant was average, the rice wine tasted sweet and mellow, with a unique flavor that made people put it down. It was the most suitable for Ye Mingsheng now. Used for recreation by others.
That's right, the purpose of Ye Mingsheng's trip is to wait for someone!
Waiting for someone who is both strange and familiar!
Ye Dong and Ye Kui, who were sitting next to each other, were not as interested as Ye Mingsheng. The five dishes on the table included fish and meat. For the two of them, they were absolutely greedy and drooling. What a delicious dish.
After leaving their portions for other people in the yard, the two began to pick up the plates and start cooking, and soon their mouths were full of oil.
Ye Mingsheng did not let Ye Mingsheng wait too long before he drank half a bottle of rice wine. Ye Mingsheng saw a group of more than a hundred cavalry entering Luo'an City from the north gate.
Although these more than a hundred people looked like they were coming from afar and looked dusty, they still couldn't hide the fierce aura coming from them. The fact that no one spoke while marching also showed that This cavalry team has excellent military discipline.
Two big flags were held high in the queue, one for Xu! One stroke for Xuanwu!
There is no doubt that this cavalry team is the personal guard battalion of Xu Zhaojie, the third-rank commander of the Xuanwu Army and Zhenyuan Marquis!
Seeing the appearance of the guard camp, Ye Mingsheng brought the wine glass to his lips and took a sip of the sweet rice wine, but his eyes were looking at the center of the team.
Although the distance was a bit far and it was impossible to see clearly the specific situation in the team, Ye Mingsheng knew very well that his old boss Xu Zhaojie was there!
Normally, Xu Zhaojie fought such a big victory in the palace and made Yang Guowei so powerful. The court should have given him and the tens of thousands of Forbidden Army officers who returned from the expedition a grand celebration ceremony.
In fact, the imperial court is also planning to do this. The budget of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the manpower of the Ministry of Rites have been prepared, and they are waiting for the army to return to the court...
But no one expected that Xu Zhaojie, as the protagonist, would make a very abnormal decision and lead only a hundred personal guards to return to Luo'an first.
Although no one knew what Xu Zhaojie wanted to do, after hearing the news from the Ministry of War, Ye Mingsheng decided to wait for him at the North Gate!
After seeing Xu Zhaojie enter the city, more than a dozen officials from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites guarding the north gate came forward to greet him. Although Xu Zhaojie returned alone, there was no way to hold a grand ceremony for him, but it was the Ministry of Rites who was responsible for welcoming him. Zuo Shilang started his business with money from the third grade, so he attached great importance to it.
After exchanging pleasantries with the former business owner who had arrived, Xu Zhaojie led the way forward. He traveled all the way and rushed back to Luo'an ahead of the army. This was not to be polite to these bureaucrats, but because he had other important matters. things need to be done!
As the team continued to advance, Ye Mingsheng, who was sitting by the window, could already faintly see Xu Zhaojie's handsome face, surrounded by the crowd...
For his old boss, Ye Mingsheng can be said to be both familiar and unfamiliar at the same time!
Although the original owner was not Xu Zhaojie's confidant general, he was only a mid-level military attache in the Xuanwu Army. He had not had much contact with Xu Zhaojie at a low level.
However, in the memory of the original owner, he had a profound memory of his immediate boss, Xu Zhaojie, who appeared to be a Confucian general, but was actually a man of sweet swordsmanship and a cruel and vicious style.
The word "strange" is because although he was deeply impressed in his memory, before today, Ye Mingsheng had only seen Xu Zhaojie once from a distance outside Liujing City, following Xiang Yuanhui.
In addition, the last time he was in Liujing, the palace capital, in order not to give Xu Zhaojie an excuse to deal with him, Ye Mingsheng stood in front of Xu Zhaojie's residence gate for several hours, wanting to meet Xu Zhaojie, but Xu Zhaojie did not give him this opportunity at all... ·····
Maybe it was God's will. Although the private room of the restaurant where Ye Mingsheng was located was not very eye-catching, when Xu Zhaojie passed by Xingwangju Restaurant, he noticed Ye Mingsheng sitting by the window at a glance.
Seeing Ye Mingsheng's appearance, Xu Zhaojie, who was chatting with officials from the Ministry of Rites, suddenly changed his expression, and his eyes became sharp, staring closely at the ant that he originally thought he could kill as many times as he wanted.
Feeling Xu Zhaojie's look that wanted to eat him alive, Ye Mingsheng was not nervous at all. On the contrary, a faint smile appeared on his angular face.
Under Xu Zhaojie's cold gaze, Ye Mingsheng stood up from his chair and actually raised his wine glass to salute Xu Zhaojie. However, in the next second, Ye Mingsheng flipped his wrist and poured the wine in the glass directly to the ground.
Xu Zhaojie, who was "honored" by Ye Mingsheng, was immediately furious. He reached behind his back with one hand and found a ten-stone hard bow. Although he had been addicted to wine and sex over the years, his physical strength was still there. Xu Zhaojie was very confident at this distance to draw the bow and arrow. , stabbed Ye Mingsheng through the heart with an arrow!
Xu Zhaojie never dreamed that it would be a huge favor for him not to trouble Ye Mingsheng, but that Ye Mingsheng, an ant, would dare to take the initiative to provoke him!
Seeing Xu Zhaojie's actions, the smile on Ye Mingsheng's face became even stronger. He did not hide or dodge, and was exposed to Xu Zhaojie's field of vision, and looked at Xu Zhaojie.
Even though he knew that Xu Zhaojie had the ability to shoot himself to death with one arrow, he also had the courage to do it...
But Ye Mingsheng was determined, Xu Zhaojie would never do this!
Ye Mingsheng was right. The two looked at each other for a few seconds. Xu Zhaojie miraculously suppressed the anger in his heart, pretended as if nothing had happened, waved his riding whip and continued to move towards the city.
