The plot inexplicably went astray and did not go according to the original plan. Before Xu Zizhen could recover, the officer had already said hello and walked away dejectedly, without leaving a single cloud behind. The scene in front of the Zhuangyuan Pavilion was restored
normal.
The second young master smiled at Xu Zizhen again: "Brother Xu, how about you drink two more drinks with me?"
Xu Zizhen was stunned: "Ah? Really?"
Not only did they really drink, but the second young master took Xu Zizhen directly to the third floor. This place was much smaller than the second floor, but there was no lobby. They were all exquisite and elegant private rooms. The group entered the largest room facing the street.
Ono Zhuoya and even Wu Jie were invited in together.
As soon as they sat down, shopkeeper Qin personally brought up a jar of daughter's red wine, opened the mud seal and filled it for everyone. Xu Zizhen was confused, but he took the lead to pick up the bowl: "Second Young Master, thank you for your heroic efforts to save the siege. I'd like to pay my respects."
You!" After saying that, he raised his neck and drank it all.
The second young master clapped his hands and praised: "Brother Xu, you are so cool, you have my appetite, do it!" After saying that, he drank the wine and showed the bottom of the bowl.
Xu Zizhen saw that he looked gentle and fair, but looked frail, but he was not inferior at all when drinking. He secretly admired him in his heart. After thinking about it, he asked bluntly: "Second Young Master, that boy today has some background. How about you?"
How could...oh, I mean, why would you offend that rich second generation for a stranger like me?"
"Rich second generation?" The second young master was stunned by this title, but he understood it and chuckled, "Others are afraid of them, but I...I wouldn't take it seriously. If I hadn't been
Those who open the door for business, I'm afraid I've beaten them before Brother Xu."
At the end, he winked and said with a smile: "Today, Brother Xu did what I have wanted to do for a long time. It is really painful and happy!"
Xu Zizhen also laughed, and suddenly thought: "Hey, how do you know that my surname is Xu? Do you know me?"
The second young master pointed at Wu Jie: "Today is the first time I met Brother Xu. When I heard this brother call you that, I followed him."
Xu Zizhen was immediately in awe. It seemed that this Second Young Master was a well-connected master, but he was willing to come to the rescue for a stranger like him. It was really rare. He couldn't help but fill up another bowl: "Second Young Master, what else is there?"
No more words, your friend and I, Xu Zizhen, have made an appointment. If that kid comes back to trouble you in the future, remember to tell me and I will take care of him!" After that, he took another gulp.
"Isn't Brother Xu already my friend? As for that boy... he's just the nephew of Wang Shaozai's housekeeper. I haven't noticed him yet, so I don't think he has the guts to trouble me." The second young master laughed.
Yixiao also drank a bowl, and his fair face was already red. It seemed that his drinking capacity was not good.
Xu Zizhen felt heroic after hearing what he said, and asked under the influence of wine: "Second Young Master, I would like to ask, your family is also an official? And the official position seems to be not small, right?"
The second young master was stunned and laughed and said: "Officer? That's right, but that was when the late emperor was still alive. Oh, I'm talking about my father. Up to now, my father still has many close friends in the court, so this small shop of mine is
It also drives smoothly.”
Xu Zizhen's heart moved: "Second Young Master, I have something I want to ask you about."
"Oh? What's the matter?"
"Second Young Master, does he know the name of the seventh son of the current emperor?"
The second young master raised his eyebrows, and a light of unknown meaning suddenly flashed in his eyes: "The seventh son... that is King Jing Zhao Qi, why, are you looking for him?"
Xu Zizhen's heart sank. Zhao Qi? It seems that his hope has been dashed. He doesn't know this seventh master at all.
He couldn't help feeling a little depressed, but he didn't notice the change in the second young master's expression. It seemed that he had a lot of disdain for this King Jing, and could even be said to hate him.
However, the second young master suddenly raised his eyebrows again and asked, "Brother Xu, do you want to ask about the seventh son of the emperor or the current seventh prince?"
Xu Zizhen was stunned: "What do you mean? These two are not the same?"
The second young master said: "There were two princes who died young, so the current seventh prince is the ninth prince, and King Jing and Zhao Qi are the fifth princes. Which one is Brother Xu asking about?"
Xu Zizhen scratched his head: "I don't know which one it is, but others call him Qi Ye."
The second young master's brows widened again and he said with a smile: "That's it. The seventh prince is Prince Kang, and his name is composed of two characters."
This sentence fell clearly on Xu Zizhen's ears, and his mind became blank and chaotic in an instant.
The seventh master is indeed King Kang? Is he Zhao Gou? Is he fucking Gaozong of the Song Dynasty?
The second young master noticed something was wrong as soon as he finished speaking. Xu Zizhen's cheeks twitched and his eyes were dull, but the corners of his mouth twitched as if he was about to laugh. Even Wu Jie and Daye sitting next to him looked at him in surprise. Zhuo Ya even had
Put your hand on his forehead.
Xu Zizhen suddenly jumped in front of the second young master, grabbed his hand, and said hurriedly: "Do you know where Master Qi is? I have something urgent to look for him, very urgent!"
The second young master was stunned for a while, then smiled bitterly and said: "Normally, if you ask me, I'd just give it back, but recently..."
Xu Zizhen's face changed: "What's wrong?" He was shocked. Could it be that Zhao Gou had gone to the Jin camp to be a prisoner? Then his role as a protector would be gone. How could he have such a good opportunity to add merit to himself in the future?
"The Holy One seems to be quite dissatisfied with King Kang recently, and is punishing him by banning him from his residence so that no one can see him."
Xu Zizhen felt a big stone fall in his heart. Fortunately, it was not the worst situation, just grounded. All he had to do was find out where he lived and go find him in the middle of the night.
The second young master suddenly said something incomprehensible: "King Qi seems to have recruited a lot of people from the world of martial arts recently. It is said that there are many people who can fly high and walk low."
Xu Zizhen was stunned for a moment, but soon understood the deeper meaning of these words. King Qi seemed to be at odds with King Kang, and many of his so-called high-flying and low-flying people were obviously monitoring King Kang secretly. If he could touch him easily
You can't help but be discovered by them if you go in.
As a result, he calmed down instantly. Even in an ordinary restaurant, the cooks and chefs would inevitably fight for the position of the chef, let alone the prince and the prince. In history, the prince who was deposed did not know how many times, before the new emperor ascended the throne.
In the past, every prince would spare no effort to fight for it, so naturally this Qi King would not fall into the trap.
It seems that if you want to see Zhao Gouming, you can't do it secretly. You can only take your time. As the saying goes, there are always more ways than difficulties. Just think about it.
Xu Zizhen was full of worries and had no interest in drinking anymore. He stood up and was about to leave. The second young master did not hold him back and sent him out with a smile. Wu Jie also left immediately outside the door and made an appointment with Xu Zizhen to meet again another day.
Today's drinking was a bit twisty, which was inevitably a bit disappointing.
It was getting late, and a bright moon hung on the branches. Xu Zizhen was walking and thinking deeply. Suddenly, Ohno whispered: "Young master, be careful, there is an ambush."
