Chapter 46: If he goes to Penglai Cave, he knows that I have a name in the sky
The night is quiet and the exposure is deeper!
In the hall of the Yongpingfang mansion in Chang'an Nancheng, the lights were still shining brightly. Twenty or thirty rangers, who were either powerful or agile and tough, were sitting on the floor in the hall, drinking happily and playing wildly.
These people were either drinking in groups of three or five, or gathering six or seven people to gamble. The sound of guessing and shouting made the whole hall full of smoke, as if they had entered a bandit's gathering hall.
.
At the upper end of the hall, Gao Shugui was holding a bronze wine baron in his hand, with a strange light shining in his two huge eyes, and he was scanning the rangers below with a vague expression on his face.
The look on his face seemed to be that he was considering something, and he seemed to be waiting for someone.
After a few minutes, there was a rustling sound from outside the hall, and then there was a burst of rapid footsteps. A thin man, about twenty years old, wearing black clothes, opened the door and walked out.
Come in.
"Brother, someone is back..."
After seeing the man in black appear, Gao Shugui immediately put the wine cup in his hand on the table, then stood up from his seat and greeted him excitedly.
"Kiuro, why are you so late?"
The man who came in was named He Xingjiu. He was a veteran, or rather senior, Chang'an ranger.
He was light and agile and could climb walls and walk around, as agile as an ape. And long before Gao Shugui entered Chang'an City, he had already followed the real eldest brother of the Chang'an City Rangers, the Chang'an Hero Shi Wanbao.
And according to him, when the Tang Dynasty was attacking Daxing City, he followed Shi Wanbao to raid the city gates from inside the city at night, making great contributions to the Tang army's capture of Daxing City. If it weren't for his free and loose nature, he wouldn't have been able to endure a military career.
If so, he would have joined the Tang Dynasty's army long ago, and he might even be a captain now.
Of course, none of the other rangers, including Gao Shugui, believed this last sentence.
If you can become a captain in the army, who cares about being a ranger?
Although the captain may be bragging, He Jiu's strength is real. He is indeed agile and moves like the wind. He can climb up and down the three-meter-high wall without any ropes.
Therefore, among the rangers in Nancheng, Gao Shugui also relied on him very much.
"Jiulang, did you find anything about the little Taoist priest named Qingwei who asked you to investigate?"
Gao Shugui stepped forward and took He Jiu's hand very affectionately, took him to sit down next to his table, took a wine glass himself, raised his own wine glass, and filled the other person's glass very affectionately.
Before traveling through time, Kong Qing often saw those people in historical dramas holding the kind of three-legged wine barons at banquets, as if this thing was a cup, but he really didn't realize it until after traveling through time traveling.
Discover……
In fact, this thing is not for drinking at all, but for pouring the wine out of the flask and dividing it into each cup, so that everyone can pour wine into the cup, just like a wine divider.
The thing people drink from is a wine glass, which is a flat-bottomed wine glass!
So why do we have to use wine jugs to divide the wine at banquets many times when we have wine pots and wine glasses?
Because the wine baron's mouth is open, using the wine baron to persuade the other party to drink can let the other party see that there are no traps inside. In this way, you can show that you have no intention of harming the other party. Likewise, because everyone is drinking the same thing.
Wine can also be used to express that I think highly of you or that I think you are good, and can also express closeness.
Just like Gao Shugui pouring wine for He Jiu now, it is a way to express that I care about your thoughts.
He Jiu didn't refuse. He took the wine glass filled by Gao Shugui and drank it all in one gulp. Then he continued, "Brother, there was something wrong with what I did today. That innocent little Taoist priest was a bit extraordinary."
"Yeah?"
A flash of light flashed in Gao Shugui's eyes, then he picked up the wine glass and gave He Jiuman another drink, and then asked in a casual tone. "I also did this at the request of the great monks in Zhuangyan Temple. Things, but I always felt that something wasn’t quite right after it was done, so I bothered Kuro to go check it out for a certain person.”
"With all due respect, brother must have been tricked by those monks this time..."
He Jiu picked up the wine glass and said thoughtfully.
"According to what the eldest brother said, I found the Taoist priest Qingwei on the street in front of Zhuangyan Temple, and found that he was followed by a Kunlun slave. Then I found that the Kunlun slave was very familiar. I believe that the eldest brother should also know..."
"I know?"
Gao Shugui squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, then said with some uncertainty.
"Could it be that Molly who sells medicine in the East and West Markets?"
Just when Gao Shugui squinted his eyes to consider the problem, he didn't notice that a milk cat was already holding a white bottle in its mouth, and quietly slipped in through the crack in the door that He Jiu had not closed after entering just now. , placed the uncorked bottle on the wall of the hall.
"Exactly this person!"
He Jiu nodded towards Gao Shugui.
"Eldest brother also knows that this person is very prestigious in the east and west cities, and he has a very solid staff. I wanted to hear what they were talking about, but I just got a little closer and was almost discovered by him."
"oh!"
Gao Shugui nodded with a heavy expression.
"But when someone gets close..."
He Jiu lowered his head and lowered his voice.
"But I found that Mo Li was very respectful to the little Taoist priest. It can be seen that the little Taoist priest is definitely not a person with no background..."
Behind him, a certain milk cat sneaked along the wall again and slipped out through the open door.
"and……"
He Jiu held the wine glass, looked at Gao Shugui, and said seriously.
"When I looked at the little Taoist priest carefully, I realized that I had seen him before..."
"What?"
When Gao Shugui saw He Jiu's movements, he also sat upright and said seriously.
"Appreciate further details……"
Behind them, a certain milk cat once again slipped in along the door with an uncorked green bottle in its mouth, and quietly placed the bottle in the corner.
"Five years ago, that is, in the thirteenth year of Daye, so-and-so was still following Brother Shi. On May 23, Brother Shi found so-and-so and said that someone asked him to do a big thing, so that so-and-so also I went along to do a favor, so I went..."
He Jiu was holding the wine glass with his eyes in trance.
"It was on that day that I saw this little Taoist priest...ahem..."
Before he could finish his words, He Jiu began to cough violently as if he had tuberculosis. The wine glass in his hand fell directly onto the table, and the turbid wine dripped down the tables and onto the floor.
"Kuro, what's wrong with you?"
Gao Shugui looked at He Jiu strangely, who seemed to be suffering from pneumonia. Just now he asked with concern, but the next moment, he saw He Jiu in front of him suddenly bursting into tears without any warning.
Then, as if an infectious disease broke out, all the rangers in the entire hall who were drinking, feasting, and drinking pheasants began to cough violently one after another.
boom!
The wine jue in Gao Shugui's hand suddenly stood up, and the wine jue in his hand fell to the ground.
"What's wrong? Can anyone tell me what happened?"
While the frightened and angry voices were still echoing in the hall, Gao Shugui saw He Jiu in front of him rolling his eyes again, and then immersed himself in several cases, motionless.
Just when he turned to look at the others in surprise, he realized that the rangers in the hall had fallen to their seats one after another, all in a mess.
In less than a minute, it seemed that he was the only one left in the entire hall who could still move.
"What's happening here?"
Just when Gao Shugui was wondering, he suddenly heard a clear voice coming from outside the hall door.
"I pointed at Chang'an and laughed, and red clouds and purple mist appeared before my eyes. Every time I saw no one in the city, I grew up and there were cranes walking in the mountains. I used jade toads to drive away ghosts and ghosts, and at night I fried golden cauldrons to cook Qiong Ying. If he went to Penglai Cave sometimes,
Know that I have a name in heaven."
"who……"
Gao Shugui suddenly turned his head, looked outside the hall, and shouted sharply.
"Who is pretending?"
boom!
After a soft sound, the door of the hall suddenly opened, revealing a floating figure wearing white clothes and carrying an ancient bronze sword standing outside the door.
"Your Excellency, you are a cannibal yourself, and you are still here saying that others are pretending to be gods..."
The figure in fluttering white clothes stepped in and smiled at Gao Shugui.
