Zhou Hu walked out of the General Military Mansion in a daze.
He never expected that after returning from Qingcheng after all the hard work, he would receive such a fatal errand. For a moment, he wanted to escape from Xuan Mansion immediately.
However, he could only think about it in his heart.
If he were alone, he would just run away. At worst, he could go up the mountain and fall into the grass. He could earn a living no matter what, but his family was all in Xuan Mansion. He could leave, but his family couldn't.
The Xuan Mansion was full of spies from the General Military Mansion. Once he escaped with his family, he was sure that he would be captured without being able to leave the city gate.
At that time, in order to keep the secret secret, the General Military Mansion will definitely kill people and silence them.
"Boss Zhou, are you back from Qingcheng?"
While Zhou Hu was full of random thoughts, a military attaché wearing cotton armor walked towards him.
"Oh, Mr. Li." Zhou Hu came back to his senses, saw the colleague in front of him, raised his hands and clasped his fists.
Mr. Li said with a smile: "Congratulations to Mr. Zhou. This time you are escorting the imperial envoy to Qingcheng. With this relationship, maybe one day the imperial envoy will say something to the higher-ups. Mr. Zhou, you are going to do it." I got promoted and made a fortune."
"Promote and get rich!" Zhou Hu shook his head with a wry smile.
The thing he regretted most was taking over the mission of escorting the imperial envoy to Qingcheng, otherwise he wouldn't have known such a fatal secret, which made him uneasy.
"What? Mr. Zhou doesn't seem very happy!" Mr. Li turned his head and looked at Zhou Hu's face.
Zhou Hu shook his head slightly and said: "It is my duty to escort the imperial envoy to Qingcheng. As for promotion and wealth, I don't expect it. Besides, how can a big shot like the imperial envoy remember a little person like me?"
"Mr. Zhou Ba must have offended the Imperial Envoy, right?" Li Ba said with a sullen face and a look of gloating in his eyes.
Zhou Hu glanced at Mr. Li in front of him.
He could tell that the other party hated him for taking away the mission of escorting the imperial envoy to Qingcheng.
He was already in a bad mood, so he didn't bother to argue with the other party, so he said: "No more talking, I have something else to do, so Mr. Li can just go and do his own thing."
After finishing speaking, Zhou Hu walked away from the door of the General Military Mansion without waiting for Commander Li to speak.
"Bah! I really thought you could curry favor with the Imperial Envoy with just a little guy, and you don't even know what you are." General Li spat on the ground, turned around and entered the General Military Mansion.
Zhou Hu did not ride a horse and was walking alone on the street following the flow of people.
After walking for a while, he raised his head and looked at a shop with a tiger character flag in front of him, showing hesitation.
Standing outside the shop door, he looked at the customers coming in and out of the shop. Finally, he gritted his teeth and walked into the shop.
"Mr. Zhou, you haven't been here for a while. What do you want to buy this time? Datong just sent some jars of good wine not long ago. Do you want to take a look?"
Zhou Hu is a boss and a high-ranking military commander.
There were many people who knew him in the Xuan Mansion. As soon as the shop assistants saw him, they immediately came to greet him.
"Okay, take me to take a look." Zhou Hu nodded to the guy, then followed the guy to a room next to him.
There are two rooms separated by a curtain in front of the house. Usually only some people with status can enter and choose things, and the things inside are more expensive than the things displayed outside.
The guy took Zhou Hu into the next room.
In the small room, there was also a wooden counter with several wine jars placed side by side.
Outside the counter, two customers stood, each with a few wine cups in front of them, as if they were testing wine.
Zhou Hu only glanced at these two people and saw from their clothes that they were businessmen, planning to buy wine from Huziqi's shop and take it back to sell.
Such a merchant wants a large amount of goods and is considered a distinguished customer, so he is naturally qualified to come to this room to discuss business.
"Shopkeeper, Mr. Zhou is here. He wants to see the fine wine we just arrived a while ago." The waiter said to the person at the counter.
The waiter's voice made the two customers at the counter turn to look at Zhou Hu.
"The common people have seen the adults."
The two customers in front of the counter hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Zhou Hu who walked in.
Zhou Hu snorted and said, "You two, get out."
The people do not fight with the officials. Both of them are ordinary businessmen. How dare they offend the military attache of Xuanfu. After getting up from the ground, they hurriedly walked outside the Meridian Gate.
"Here you two, let's go outside and wait for a while." The waiter took the two guests outside.
Zhou Hu then walked towards the counter.
"Mr. Zhou, please try this wine. It is an improvement based on the sorghum wine made by our Hu Zi Banner. It tastes even better." The shopkeeper behind the counter picked up a wine pot from the shelf behind him and gave it to the wine cup in front of him. Fill it up.
Zhou Hu waved his hand and said, "I'm not here to buy wine today."
"Ah!" The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then quickly said with a smile, "It's okay if you don't buy it. I always want to buy it anytime. It's not too late to buy it again. Come and try it."
As he spoke, he pushed the wine cup in front of Zhou Hu.
Zhou Hu picked up the wine cup on the counter with three fingers, put it in front of his nose, smelled it, and asked, "Who is the person in charge of your Tiger Flag in Xuan Mansion?"
"We, Tiger Character Banner, have opened three shops in Xuanfu. Each shop has a shopkeeper. I wonder which one are you looking for, Mr. Zhou?" the shopkeeper asked with a smile.
Zhou Hu looked up at the shopkeeper behind the counter and said, "The person I'm looking for is someone who can take care of you shopkeepers."
"It turns out that Zhou Ba always wants to see our proprietor, but our proprietor is not in Xuanfu. If Zhou Ba always has something to do, I can convey it on my behalf." The shopkeeper said with a smile.
Zhou Hu said: "Forget it, since you don't want to say it, I won't ask. However, there is something you'd better tell the person who can decide the Tiger Flag. The Imperial Envoy already knows about your Tiger Flag." The thing is, we are on our way back to Beijing now."
"I have long heard that the imperial envoy was sent by the capital to go to the grassland. I didn't expect to return to the capital so soon. It's a pity that I was not lucky enough to meet the imperial envoy and feel noble." The shopkeeper said with a smile. .
Zhou Hu narrowed his eyes slightly after hearing this.
After looking up and down the shopkeeper behind the counter, he said: "I don't care if you are pretending to be confused or really confused. I have conveyed the message. As for what to do, it is your business. Okay, I'm leaving."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
The smile on the face of the shopkeeper behind the counter slowly disappeared, and he kept watching Zhou Hu walk out of the room.
There are guys waiting outside.
As soon as he saw Zhou Hu coming out, he hurriedly greeted him and asked with a smile: "I didn't lie to you! It's definitely good wine, and there are only a few jars."
"It is indeed a good wine. I don't know whether I can drink it in the future." Zhou Hu left this sentence and left the shop.
