Chapter 257: The Inhuman Yuchi Gong
The rules of Chang'an City are to clean the streets at night, and the people are not allowed to leave the city and walk around the streets, otherwise they will be punished if they are caught by the Wuhou of the street.
Du Shaoqing's Earl's Mansion was built in the noble district and not far from the East City, so there are many Wuhous in the nearby streets. The first one to discover the Earl's Mansion is fragrant. In addition to the neighbors, these Wuhous are the group.
But everyone is a big-headed soldier who has no status, and there is no reason to not have the courage to go to the Earl's Mansion to find out. Because they dare not go in, they are still a little obsessed with this fragrance, so many Wuhou teams couldn't help but stop and wait and see. Time quietly passed, and the task of patrolling the streets went wrong.
The general on duty at the Wuhou Yamen on duty this night was nothing but the general Yuchi Jingde. I heard that many Wuhou teams were out of date when patrolling the streets. Yuchi Gong thought to himself, could something happened in the city?
After a quick investigation, I found out that they were all gathered at the gate of the Prince Du Shaoqing Mansion in Zheng County. I thought that something happened to my son-in-law Du Shaoqing. Yuchi Gong hurriedly brought people to him, but unexpectedly it was because of the smell of meat in the mansion?
The dark-faced Yuchi Gong scolded these Wuhou for being useless, but they did not engage in military law or anything like that. After all, nothing happened. He just drove them away to the duty and ordered that there was no need to come to inspect here tonight.
When everyone saw that they were exempted from punishment, they fled in a hurry, but they did not see it. After driving away their subordinates, Yuchi Gong asked the deputy general to go back to preside over the affairs of Wuhou, sorted out his clothes and armor, stepped forward and knocked on the gate of the Earl's Mansion.
Shortly after the banquet in the Earl's Mansion began, Du Shaoqing had just settled his wife and daughter, but unexpectedly there were guests, or was it an old acquaintance in the battlefield in Hebei?
Yuchi Gong is also a straightforward person. He doesn't talk nonsense when he comes in, but directly calls for wine and meat. The two of them have fought wars and experienced life and death together on the battlefield, so they are not out of the blue.
Du Shaoqing guessed that it was attracted by the fragrance of dog meat. There were many people and pairs of chopsticks. Moreover, this general who could drink was a bit disappointed if he didn't drink. When he came, he could have fun with a group of Baiqisi soldiers who were good at drinking.
Originally, everyone had a fire banquet, and they were standing and cooking while roasting the fire, but Yuchi Gong didn't want it, so he asked someone to find a stool, and sat down next to the barbecue rack, put a wine jar and a wine bowl in front of him, and slapped the knife on his waist on the table, shouting: "I will sit here today, and one of the people present is counted. If you can drink me, each person will be rewarded - ten taels!"
Wow! Du Shaoqing said, you are so generous, ten taels? There are about twenty people present. If you really pay the compensation, more than two hundred taels of gold will be almost eight million soft-girl coins. It is inhumane!
There was a big uproar for a moment. Guy, all the soldiers were screaming and wanting to drink the general. Everyone thought that even if it was a wheel battle, they would have to win this rich general for ten taels of gold.
Drink as soon as you say, the soldiers of the Baiqisi took the lead, lined up with big bowls, one person went up to fight for wine, and the others gathered around to cheer up.
At this time, Cheng Chumo, who was smiling beside him, quietly approached Du Shaoqing and whispered that he wanted to go back and come whenever he went.
Du Shaoqing was puzzled, and Cheng Chumo smiled sinisterly and said, "This uncle claims to be unintoxicated by a thousand cups, but that's just a common three-pick powder. I'll get him two jars of burning knives at home. Can you make money if you have money..."
I... Du Shaoqing looked at Cheng Chumo and walked out quickly, and instantly petrified the spot. He thought to himself that this guy was also a little black-bellied and burned a knife? Not to mention two jars, as long as he could get half a pound, Yuchi Gong would be in trouble.
I guess when I made a bold statement, Yuchi Gong didn't see Cheng Chumo or a good wine, otherwise he wouldn't have been so reckless. Now I'll wait to pay for the money.
Tsk, two hundred taels of gold, my family has five guys, and I have to count myself as a group of six. No, I have to call a few apprentices and third uncles, so everyone can make money! Oh, and the wife, are you asking? Du Shaoqing is already planning how to make money.
It's over. I guess Yuchi Jingde will cry and faint in the bathroom when he pays the money tomorrow. Cheng Chumo and Du Shaoqing have neither good things, one is used to exchange strong wine and the other is used to exchange heads. This is obviously a sucker of Yuchi Gong.
In the Wuhou Yamen, the deputy general and several subordinates were muttering in a low voice. The general was really not good enough. He went to eat delicious food by himself. At least he could take us to see the world and drink some soup. It was rumored that Doctor Du was the best in cooking in the Tang Dynasty, and the imperial chefs in the palace were all his disciples.
"Where is General Yuchi? Your Majesty summoned him." At this time, a slightly sharp voice came from the door. Everyone looked up and found that it was an eunuch from the palace.
"General, he has something important to go to find the prince consort of Bodu, Zheng County." The deputy general replied quickly.
When the man heard this, General Yuchi went to find Du Fuma Du tonight, and he must have important official duties. Maybe something happened to Du Fuma Du, so he did not dare to neglect him, and he would not go to find Yuchi Gong, so he went back to the palace to report to the emperor.
What did Emperor Li Er do when he searched for Yuchi Gong? In fact, he had nothing to do. After the New Year, he felt a little weak. He followed the doctor's advice from his son-in-law Du Shaoqing and needed to quit women in recent days. However, after the New Year, the court had no official duties to deal with.
At night, Li Er was a little bored, so he thought about forming a drink party and asking Yuchi Gong, the confidant on duty in Wuhou Yamen, to accompany him. Who would have thought that the other party was not here?
"What important official business can Shaoqing have? Changle is still here during the day, I haven't heard of anything? Could it be because of the conflict during the day?" Li Er turned around and asked the eunuch Lao Gao.
Lao Gao turned around and looked for the Baiqi Spy Manager who came to inspect the General Officer of the General of the General of the General of the Cycling Office to ask, and the reply he received was amusing and irritating: "Your Majesty, it is said that in the evening, a tempting and strange fragrance came from the Prince Consort's Mansion, and the fragrance became more and more intense and attractive. After the night, General Yuchi discovered it, so he came to visit alone and had not yet left."
Ha? Li Er laughed silently, and then couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "Why is this old man like Zhijie? He was just a good wine in the past, but now he is so relaxed that he even forgot about duty."
"Ahem, Your Majesty, as the saying goes, wine and meat are not separated. I'm afraid General Yuchi is going to go for fine wine. Du Fuma is the owner of Chang'an fine wine." Lao Gao reminded.
Li Er laughed and stood up: "Yes, this kid is really unfilial. He doesn't inform me, his father-in-law, because he is worried that no one will be with him to drink tonight. He didn't expect that there would be such a good thing. Let's go and take a look. If you go late, the banquet will be over."
Cheng Chumo, who quietly slipped home, carefully made two jars of strong liquor from the wine warehouse treasured by his father. This thing is not easy to make and the yield is not high. Du Shaoqing said that the old wine is even more delicious, and Cheng Yaojin also treasured it. Unexpectedly, it was stolen by his eldest son that night.
Just as Cheng Chumo was about to go out again with his prey in his arms, Cheng Yaojin shouted loudly from behind: "Stop! It's midnight, why did you go out just after you came back? I heard that you sent troops today, and I'm still waiting for you to come back to report today's results."
Cheng Chumo knew as soon as he heard this, it was over. I am afraid that his father would be beaten to death after seeing these two jars of wine. What else would he say about the results?
