Chapter 51: Eat Me

(Thank you for the tips of zero zero Kkexin and HUANG900928 two children's shoes, ask for Sanjiang tickets and recommended tickets!) )

In the afternoon, Wangxian Lou had just passed the peak of business, and the busy running hall and handyman had just sent off the most rearly guests, and was about to start cleaning up the restaurant, but suddenly saw a large number of sergeants rushing over. At the head, there were more than a dozen horses, and the few sturdy men sitting on them could be seen at a glance that they were all officers.

Looking at the number of people, there are actually hundreds. The attire of these people is not the usual Zhizhou soldiers in the city, nor are they those Ding soldiers. These people are all wearing brand-new fiery red robes, and they carry horizontal swords at their waists, Hu Lu. He was armed with a spear and a longbow on his back. It is not uncommon to hold a knife and a spear, but what is surprising is that these people are actually very neat, with clear columns, hundreds of people running forward, and they are actually neat and uniform, without the slightest chaos.

Even the dozen or so horsemen at the front also maintained a small sharp arrow formation, not only the men on the horses were fierce, but even the war horses that stepped down were also majestic.

This team that suddenly appeared, under the guidance of a dozen horses, ran forward, neatly, except for the rhythmic footsteps, there was no other noise. In the middle of the procession, there were a few sturdy sergeants holding a few flags flying high.

The welcome Xiao Er at the door of Wangxian Tower felt a dry mouth for a while, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva. Seeing that the team of people was getting closer and closer, it seemed that they had spotted Wangxian Tower and rushed straight to it. I couldn't calm down anymore, so I turned around and stumbled towards the restaurant.

As he ran, he shouted in panic: "Dongjia, Dongjia, it's not good, it's not good!" ”

Xia Yan, the old owner of Wangxian Building, was sitting in the hall on the first floor drinking the freshly fried tea soup flowers, while checking the account books of the restaurant, looking at the money in the account, and was full of comfort, but suddenly heard the guy's ghostly howl, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Something's wrong, shouting and screaming, there is no half of the rules." ”

The guy gasped and said in disbelief: "It's a big deal, what a big team is coming to our restaurant with murderous spirits, and it seems that there are no less than one or two hundred people." ”

"What?" Xia Yan exclaimed, he was able to open a five-story restaurant fifteen zhang high in Penglai City, and naturally he was not an ordinary family. On weekdays, he has filial piety in various yamen in the state and county, and even in several nearby military camps, why did someone suddenly come to smash the field?

"Is it that someone in the restaurant offended a general and captain today, and now people are looking for a venue?" Xia Yan's first thought was that it might be that an officer was angry in Wangxian Tower, and now he came to find the scene.

"The owner, our Wangxian Tower has always kept in mind the instructions of the owner to make money and make money, where there will be bullying customers."

"Then can you see which soldier from the barracks is coming?"

The man said, "These soldiers are all fully armed, all wearing brand new fiery red robes, and there are more than a dozen knights at the head. Those people didn't look like soldiers from a few battalions inside and outside the city, but like newly recruited solidarity soldiers from the south of the city. But when they ran over, they were so neat that they couldn't even compare to the Zhizhou soldiers in the city. ”

Xia Yan couldn't help but be stunned at this time, could it be that it wasn't the soldiers stationed nearby, but the personal soldiers of which big man?

Just as he was thinking, another guy suddenly ran in in a hurry.

"The owner, there are a large number of soldiers outside, saying that they want to hold a banquet on the second floor of our Wangxian Tower."

Xia Yan was a little surprised, grabbed the guy and asked, "Are they really just here to eat and drink?" ”

"That's what he said, I know that person, I saw him in the restaurant a few days ago."

"Have you seen it? Then think about when it happened. Xia Yan didn't know if the soldiers outside the road were really here to eat or something, and his heart was full of thoughts.

"Oh, I remember. It was the last time Wendeng united the soldiers entered the city on the night of the banquet, I served food to the Wangxian Pavilion on the fifth floor that day, and I saw that person next to the assassin. Yes, that's right, it's the unity soldier Li Sanlang of Wendeng who killed four bandits in Chishan alone, and then was accepted as a protégé by Assassin Shi on the day he entered the city. That's what he said he wanted to charter the second floor. ”

"Is that him?" Xia Yan also suddenly remembered this lucky guy, there are not many people who can be accepted as a protégé by Assassin Shi in public. Since Zhilu Dao was a protégé of the history of assassination, Xia Yan was relieved. What he was afraid of was that a lot of arrogant and unreasonable Qiu Ba would come to make trouble.

"Let's go, come with me to meet you."

Xia Yan beckoned all the runners, miscellaneous servants, and guys in the restaurant to rush to the door of the restaurant, and sure enough, he saw at a glance that Li Sanlang, who was still a little impressed, was riding on a black high-headed horse, and behind him, there were fifteen or sixteen knights, as well as hundreds of infantry. Xia Yan is also a good businessman, and as soon as he met, he immediately sent all kinds of flattery and good words. In a few words, he came out of the mouth of Wang Zhong and others, knowing that Li Jing and others were promoted today, and Zuo Yidu performed and was rewarded by Shangguan, and he came to the city to celebrate after getting the governor's leave, and wanted to come to Wangxian Lou to hold a banquet on the second floor.

After figuring out what was going on, Xia Yan smiled at Li Jing and the others very familiarly: "Wouldn't a few chiefs say this to slap the face of the old man, the old man has been opening a restaurant in Penglai City for decades, and this Wangxian Tower is also the inheritance of several generations." On weekdays, the old man is most respected by the heroic soldiers like you, and today since you have chosen us to celebrate the immortal tower, how can I look at the immortal tower to collect your money, so that the old decay of this wangxian tower is also stained with the nobility and joy of the chiefs, and give the old decay a chance to thank the warriors. This banquet is invited by the old decay. ”

Wangxian Lou can become the first restaurant in Penglai, in addition to doing well in itself, it is inseparable from Xia Yan's habit of making friends with powerful people. This Li Jing was originally a protégé of the history of assassination, and now he has been promoted to the seventh rank, and with such achievements at such an age, Xia Yan is very optimistic about Li Jing. If you don't make friends with such characters as soon as possible, it will be a little late to make friends when Li Jing is developed.

Li Jing didn't know what these fancy sedan chairs meant to carry people, but he had just been promoted to the head of the general, and he didn't want to be too ostentatious. smiled at Xia Yan, took out a fifty taels of silver from his waist and put it in his hand, "The Xia Dong family has a lot of intentions and the brothers have it, but how can the Xia Dong family open the door to do business without collecting money." If you don't take this money, then our brother will have to go to another restaurant. ”

Xia Yan held the big silver collar, and he didn't know how to react. A banquet for hundreds of people, this is not a small amount of money. He originally wanted to post this money himself and catch up with this new celebrity in Penglai City, but he didn't expect that although the other party was young, he didn't leak a drop of water, and he didn't want to take advantage of it.

After laughing a few times, Xia Yan said: "Li Sanlang is a good man who kills bandits, and this bandit is also for the people to eliminate harm, and I am only doing my best." ”

"If the Xia Dong family really looks up to our brothers, the gang might as well serve us more good wine, and get a few more good dishes from your restaurant. But I can say it in advance, I've already paid for this banquet, and you got too much wine and food, so I won't pay anymore. Li Jing said a few words to Xia Yan again, which not only narrowed the relationship, but also deliberately kept a little distance, and did not let the restaurant owner stick too close.

A guy had already stepped forward to take Li Jing and his more than a dozen officers' war horses to the stable, so that they could take care of them.

"Everyone goes up to the second floor and finds their own place. Today I said that I would not return if I was not drunk, but there was one point, before the city gate was closed after dark, I had to go back to the camp. For the rest, everyone is happy and casual! Li Jing shouted to the group of Zuo Yidu brothers who had come to drink with knives, guns, bows and arrows. Carrying a knife is the meaning of Li Jing, although he got half a day off, but Li Jing let it go, and those who are soldiers have to keep their knives and guns by themselves at any time, even if they are on vacation to eat wine and banquets, the same is true.

Everyone entered the restaurant one after another and began to go up to the second floor, each setting up a table according to their familiarity. Li Jing was also about to go upstairs with Wang Chong, Lin Wei, Lin Wu, Zhang Hong and others, but suddenly several riders on the street rushed straight towards with loud hooves.

From a distance, Li Jing saw that the first person was Feng Liang, who went back to Fengfu to find his uncle. However, to Li Jing's surprise, Feng Liang obviously did not come to the banquet, because Feng Liang was holding the reins in one hand and the lance in the other, and was charging towards Li Jing with an angry face. While galloping on his horse, he also shouted at Li Jing on the horse: "The little thief of the Li family is leaving, eat your grandfather first!" ”
