Things were going on upstairs, Chang Yu was listening, Zheng Zhilong was drinking,
Chang Yu didn't know if Zheng Zhilong really had the ability to stay drunk after a thousand cups, but he drank at least six or seven pots in a short time, but he didn't see a trace of red on his face, and his expression was as usual, which really impressed him, knowing that his subordinates
There are a lot of bottles of wine, but I have never seen anyone drink so much without their face changing color.
Zheng Zhilong was already good at drinking and his current state of mind was even more difficult to control. As a former maritime overlord and now a great warlord in the southeast, he never dreamed that he would be invited to drink the wedding wine of the most powerful young eunuch in the dynasty, and he would do so all the way.
Peers.
Although it is not a supreme honor to be able to participate in the personal affairs of the elder eunuch, from another perspective, it means that the younger eunuch regards him as one of his own. From now on, we will be able to work together through thick and thin. The younger eunuch has the right and ability.
, he has money, people and power, so they join forces.
Zheng Zhilong, who has seen a lot of things in the world, has very strong confidence in his eyesight and feeling. He feels that this little eunuch is very extraordinary, can help each other, and has great potential in the future, so he is extremely happy inside. This time he entered the capital and won the emperor's commendation.
If you make friends with a powerful person, you will be happy in life, and you will have to drink a few more drinks.
He drank his wine, and Chang Yu drank his tea. It was interesting to listen to the ditty and watch the other guests wandering around. But on the surface, they seemed to be immersed in the ditty, but in fact, they were still thinking about the peace talks. After all, they were sitting there.
As the governor of Dongchang, he has to worry about the imperial court, but there is no work for him at the moment. The framework is set up, and the details inside will depend on how the imperial court messes with them. I believe that the results will come out when I get married and come back.
.
If the peace talks succeed, it will indeed be a great thing for the court and the people.
Is it really going to go smoothly? Even if Chang Yu is still beating the drum in his heart, is it really possible to shake hands and make peace after decades of fighting? There are too many uncertain factors in this process.
As he thought about it, Chang Yu suddenly felt that the current situation was very familiar. It was very similar to the history of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.
The imperial court was Chiang Kai-shek at that time, and Li Zicheng was a great man at that time. The cooperation at that time was also proposed by the Communist Party. At that time, it was for the purpose of resisting Japan, and now it is for resisting the Manchus, but it ended up breaking up.
What's also interesting is that in history, when Li Zicheng came to the city, he proposed to negotiate peace with Emperor Chongzhen. Because the conditions he wanted were too high, Emperor Chongzhen flatly refused because he wanted to save face. This time, it was Li Zicheng who proposed it. I don't know if the court could raise the conditions seriously.
Can Lao Li accept it?
When he thought of this, Chang Yu felt a little irritable, and after drinking two pots of tea, he felt the need to urinate, so he got up and asked Mr. Turtle next to him to take him to the latrine. When he came back, he glanced out the window and saw the person opposite.
Tu Yuan and the others were pointing towards him downstairs, and they saw Zheng Zhilong's follower.
The attendant's name was Gu Youniu. Chang Yu even joked at the time that his family had Gu Youniu, which was a wealthy family. He was also very impressed by this attendant, because Zheng Zhilong only took him with him when he left the capital.
I only take one person with me when traveling. Even if I don’t have to worry about security when traveling with Chang Yu, then this person is definitely not an ordinary person.
However, Chang Yu really couldn't see the depth of this person. People who practice martial arts have a temperament and aura that is different from ordinary people, such as Wuzhong and Wang Zhengnan. You can tell how powerful he is with just one look or movement, but this person is just like that.
He has an honest face and a silly smile.
Or he is a top insider, Chang Yu guessed, but he would not be bored to test others, there is no need to appear inconsistent with his status.
Just when he was about to sit down, he suddenly saw Tu Yuan and others getting up and walking towards Gu Youniu. Chang Yu immediately knew what this guy was going to do, and he felt a little unhappy, because this would make Zheng Zhilong feel
His subordinates didn't know the rules and liked to cause trouble, so he was lax in his supervision, so he took a tea cup and threw it out.
By chance, it happened to hit Tu Yuan on the head. Fortunately, it hit his hair and didn't hurt his skin, but it still hurt badly. He didn't even think about raising his head and cursed: "Who doesn't have eyes..." Then he immediately shut up and left.
I went back to the door of the store across the street and sat down honestly.
After following Chang Yu for so long, I naturally know what this means.
Zheng Zhilong didn't pay attention to this matter. His attention was all on the wine and music. As for the girl in the brothel, to be honest, he scanned around and didn't like any of them, so he didn't have the intention to see Chang Yu come back after peeing.
He quickly said: "Young master, it's getting late, why don't we go back and rest".
Zheng Zhilong laughed loudly: "It's not enough to talk about it, but I'm relieved of my addiction. I'm a little tired seeing my young master. Let's go back."
Chang Yu nodded: "When we get to Xuzhou, there will be many collectors in my brother's family who will give Brother Zheng a lot of fun, so I'll be patient on the way." He then added, "It doesn't take three to five days to get to Xuzhou.
, I can’t bear to offend Brother Zheng, but we can’t always go into this brothel, so how about we buy some from this place and take it with us to drink on the road?”
That's good. Zheng Zhilong quickly called Mr. Gui and asked him to bring some jars. But Mr. Gui was speechless. This drunkard went to the brothel to drink. What an addiction. If he didn't drink enough, he had to buy it away.
No matter what, you are rich. As long as you can make money by selling anything, go and move the wine.
The two immediately got up and went downstairs. Chang Yu was worried that Zheng Zhilong would stumble after drinking and was about to help him. Suddenly he saw a figure flashing at the door and frowned. Zheng Zhilong looked at his words and said, "Could it be that he ran into an acquaintance?"
"It looks familiar, but I didn't see it clearly." Chang Yu said and walked quickly towards the door. After exiting the door and looking around, he saw that the man had walked to the entrance of an alley in the south and then disappeared in a flash.
What a fast pace. Chang Yu immediately made a gesture towards the darkness, and then quickly chased after him. Behind him, Zheng Zhilong, Tu Yuan and others also quickly followed: "Who is the shopkeeper?" Tu Yuan asked.
Chang Yu didn't say anything. He chased into the alley but found that there was no one around. There were people on both sides of the alley who were very likely to climb into it. Just when he was about to ask Tu Yuan to lead people to climb over the wall to search, he heard a whistle from the southeast and waved his hand to lead everyone.
Chased him.
The whistling went east and west, and in half a cup of tea, they circled half of the city. Finally, Chang Yu and Zheng Zhilong and others rushed to a dilapidated temple in the west of the city. The temple was not big and had a courtyard and a hall. It was very dilapidated. There was an oil lamp inside.
It was dim and swaying, and there were many people lying around in the yard, all of them beggars.
Chang Yu was panting and sweating. He stood at the door of the temple and took a breath before he was about to step in. Tu Yuan dodged in front of him and slowly pulled out the steel knife. He didn't know who he was chasing, but he saw
Chang Yu's expression showed that he was not a kind person.
Chang Yu grabbed him and said, "Don't go in, just guard the door."
"The shopkeeper..." Tu Yuan was a little worried. Chang Yu smiled and pointed at the night sky. Tu Yuan looked at it all night and vaguely saw a few figures on the top of the temple, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
You know, those masters hiding in the dark are here.
"It's better if I go in with the young master." Zheng Zhilong came over and reached out to pick up a stick at the temple door. According to the rules, no one around Chang Yu except the guards could carry weapons, and he was no exception.
Chang Yu nodded. Although he had never seen Zheng Zhilong take action, he knew that this man was a real master, a master of swordsmanship and a master of practical combat. He had fought countless battles for many years, and ordinary people could easily be killed by him in an instant.
Many of the beggars in the temple fell asleep. When they saw so many people at the door, holding swords, guns and sticks, they were trembling with fear. I don’t know what happened. Chang Yu walked in with his hands behind his back and looked around.
, and then his eyes fell on the dilapidated hall.
It was empty except for a statue of Bodhisattva that had taken off its skin and found its body in clay, an oil lamp on the altar table, and a young man smelling of alcohol lying on a meadow under the altar table. Chang Yu walked to the door of the hall and looked at the young man, and gradually
There was a smile on his face: "It's great to meet an old friend in a foreign country, why are you running away?"
