Chapter 248: Poor Dao sends you a hexagram
Xixia is a country where many ethnic groups live together, there are party members, Han people, Tubo people, Xi people everywhere, monks and Taoist lamas in Xingqing Mansion can also see, it is not strange to see a Taoist priest at this hour, and the dress of this Taoist priest is obviously a man who sells his mouth, which is not an orthodox Taoist.
Xu Zizhen didn't see it, he drank wine by himself, the Taoist priest didn't look much when he entered the door, he chose a table near Xu Zizhen and sat down, asked for a pot of wine and a plate of smoked horse meat, put down the cloth banner and drank it slowly, the pair of cloudy old eyes glanced at Xu Zizhen without a trace, but there was no more follow-up.
There is not much business in the restaurant, even Xu Zizhen and the Taoist priest have four or five tables of guests, all of whom eat their own and no one cares, Xu Zizhen looks decadent and depressed, keeps drinking wine, and keeps muttering in his mouth, it is nothing more than what the emperor is ungrateful to the princess who crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and the drinkers next to him did not dare to talk more, and hurriedly settled the account and left, for fear that Xu Zizhen's nonsense here would cause the officers and soldiers to cause him to be unlucky, only the Taoist priest still drank by himself, as if he hadn't heard it.
After more than half an hour, Xu Zizhen finally got drunk, the huge wine jar fell to the ground with a bang and fell apart, and the remaining wine splashed everywhere, and he even fell on the table, holding the sea bowl on his head, and fell asleep.
A burly and tall man suddenly came in outside the door, it was Daye, came to Xu Zizhen's side and whispered to him a few times, to see if there was no response, he couldn't help muttering with a bitter face: "Aren't you just a princess, young master, you are really, why ......" As soon as he was halfway through the words, Xu Zizhen suddenly raised his head and vomited out, he didn't eat anything at all, so he only spit out wine, but after passing through the stomach, the taste became extremely pungent and unpleasant.
Xu Zizhen seemed to be a little sober up when he vomited, and slapped the table with red drunken eyes and shouted: "Where is Lao Tzu's wine?" Bring the wine! He shouted in his mouth, but his body had no strength at all, he couldn't sit still, and he was about to fall when he saw that he was crooked.
Ohno suddenly panicked, grabbed Xu Zizhen, half-coaxed and half-dragged him out of the restaurant, and didn't forget to throw a silver ingot on the counter to settle the bill for Xu Zizhen when he left.
Thanks to Ohno's strength, Xu Zizhen was brought back to the inn, and Xu Zizhen was not idle on this short journey, struggling to drink without saying, roaring a few times and spitting a few sips, obviously drunk nine points and nine minutes drunk, and others all looked back to see his appearance along the way.
When he returned to the inn and entered the house, Ohno took the door and Xu Zizhen stood up straight, his eyes were clear and calm, how could he be half drunk, he took off the messy clothes that were vomited on his body, and wiped his body with a basin of water.
Ohno looked out through the crack in the door and said in a low voice, "Young Master, why didn't that Taoist priest talk to you?" Did he see through it? ”
Xu Zizhen said: "It's not enough to see through, but acting is not so simple, how can I say that I have killed so many Xia Bing and Sanjue Tang people, and now if you say that you defect, you will defect, and the Xiao family is not all second-class goods, how can you believe it?" ”
"So what are we going to do next?"
"I'll drink it tomorrow, and by the way, I'll make a fuss during the day."
The two whispered to each other, but they didn't know that there was an ear against the wall in the room next to them listening, and the owner of the ear was slightly surprised, it was Princess Zhuoya, who had been kidnapped by Xu Zizhen.
At noon the next day, Xu Zizhen appeared outside the palace gate again, his eyes were bloodshot, he was full of alcohol, he looked like he was hungover, and he swaggered to the forbidden army and shouted to see the emperor.
This class of forbidden troops is not the one on duty yesterday, but I have also heard about Xu Zizhen, a fake horse with an unjustified name, just because he has saved the princess, he thought he was dragging him to the palace gate and shouted five and six, if it wasn't for the special care of Gonggong Li yesterday, saying that the emperor would not let them embarrass Xu Zizhen, I am afraid that they would have already rushed forward to kill Xu Zizhen on the spot for the crime of treason.
Now no one is embarrassed for Xu Zizhen, but no one informs him, how can the emperor be so easy to see, even if the courtiers want to see the driver, they have to hand over the sign first, one has to look at the official level, and the other has to look at the size of the work, who will pay attention to him if he is so nonsense like Xu Zizhen?
But Xu Zizhen became more and more jubilant, standing at the gate of the palace and shouting Li Luoyan's name, asking her to come out and give herself an explanation, now the forbidden army really can't stand it, now you have no idea of a concubine, how can you call the name of the princess with a cloth cloth, and in this palace gate is drunk and crazy and playing scoundrels, and several forbidden soldiers came up and dragged Xu Zizhen down.
They really didn't make it difficult for Xu Zizhen, at least they didn't kill him, but they didn't get rid of the beating, Xu Zizhen was good, but after all, he couldn't stay drunk and was powerless, and in the end, those forbidden soldiers threw him into a far corner like a dead dog, and warned him viciously.
That night, Xu Zizhen, who had a blue nose and swollen face, went to the restaurant again, still a large jar of wine poured alone in one go, Daye cried and accompanied him with a sad face, and when he drank a little half, the Taoist priest appeared again, this time he glanced at Xu Zizhen curiously, but still didn't go up to speak, still sat aside and ate and drank slowly, until Xu Zizhen was drunk, and Ohno helped him back.
On the third day, Xu Zizhen suddenly became obedient, although he still came to the palace gate, but he no longer had the arrogant and domineering appearance at the beginning, but lowered his eyebrows and smiled with his eyes, and secretly took out the silver two to stuff it to the commander of the forbidden army who led the team, and asked him to help him go in and call Gonggong Li.
It's just that the above has already spoken, who dares to pay attention to his stubble? The forbidden army's silver was collected, but after waiting for a long time, no one came to see him, Li Luoyan could not appear, and even Gonggong Li never showed up again.
So Xu Zizhen appeared in the restaurant again in the evening, drunk with wine and no food, the old Taoist priest still appeared at the same time, and today he was even more polite, and nodded at Xu Zizhen with a smile, but Xu Zizhen ignored him.
Soon the whole Xingqing Mansion knew about this matter, from the hundred officials to the common people, the lover of Princess Yuping came, looking for death and life to see her, but the princess's heart has turned to Lord Xiao Mu, and this lover has to buy drunk in the restaurant every day.
The royal face could not be tarnished by anyone, and when Xu Zizhen went again on the fourth day, the forbidden army had not allowed him to come closer, and the emperor completely turned his face and ordered him to go as soon as he saw him, but now the saint is still merciful and did not issue an order to arrest him.
Today is the day when Xu Zizhen drank the most, but surprisingly he was not drunk, he was holding the wine jar and muttering to himself, his clothes were dirty and haggard, his beard was also messy, and the whole person looked like a beggar.
The Taoist priest came again, but today he walked directly to Xu Zizhen, sat in front of him without asking, Xu Zizhen was about to get angry, the Taoist priest squinted and twisted his beard and said slowly: "This son, Poor Dao and you meet here every day, it is also fate, and Poor Dao is willing to send you a hexagram." ”
