On this day, Shi Zhongjian had dinner, arranged everything in Wu Qinghou's house, played two games of chess with others, and won both games. He was so happy that he swayed through the kitchen,
Arriving at Xu Yong's room, Xu Yong was sitting alone drinking tea. He looked up and saw Butler Shi coming in. He didn't stand up and said with a smile:
"I'm going to cook three delicacies and stew fish tonight. I'm worried that I won't be able to find anyone to eat."
Shi Zhongjian ate these two dishes last time. When he heard what he said, he knew it was a joke, so he laughed and said:
"I see that you really can't eat on your own. I don't know how much delicacies you put in your big belly. I'm afraid I ate three points, but you secretly ate seven points. Otherwise, what happened to me?
Your face is still so thin and long, but your cheeks are puffed up as if they were puffed up."
Xu Yong said with a smile: "Youdao is 'the legs of a bachelor and the mouth of a cook'. No one can control it, and I am not the only one who eats it myself. I will feed it to anyone who treats me well. But again,
Having said that, if anyone is angry with me, they will all be blown away."
Shi Zhongjian quickly bowed and said: "Brother Xu and I are on good terms, and I will never dare to anger you again!"
The two went into the kitchen chatting and laughing. Xu Yong cooked some special dishes, and Shi Zhongjian took them. Back to Xu Yong's room, he opened another jar of old wine, and the two sat across from each other and drank.
Although Shi Zhongjian was greedy for drinking, he didn't have the capacity to drink. After three drinks, his tongue was already big. He put a mouthful of food into his mouth, used his chopsticks to dot it and said: "'One fresh move, you can eat it all over the world.' This is not true.
Fake! You have been in the Hou Mansion for a year, and I know who I have seen with my eyes in the entire Hou Mansion. I am the only one who respects you, Brother Xu. I am not only grateful for your good craftsmanship, but also for your kind heart.
Okay! When it comes to power, what power do you have? I’m not afraid of you being unhappy, just a cook! But I have such a weird temper. No matter how powerful you are, if you have evil intentions and bad character, I
I won’t offend you! Let’s talk about Wu Sandao. Let’s not talk about the backyard. Apart from the Marquis and me, he has to be the only one in the Hou Mansion. But do you think I gave him a good look? I rely on Xu Liu to flatter him.
Licking buttocks and coaxing Mr. Hou into confusion, what kind of thing is that!"
How dare he, Xu Yong, get involved in the grudges of the big shots in the Hou family? He could only say: "I heard that his martial arts are excellent."
Shi Zhongjian said: "Half of it is true, half of it is a lie, and the other half, the whole thing is made up."
He was drunk, spoke incoherently, and didn't know how many "half"s he had.
Shi Zhongjian said: "Let's just say that he killed fifty-eight soldiers and horses from Wala and saved our prince from fighting out of the earthen fortress. How could such a thing be possible? You can lie to others. I was at the scene. How could I not know about it?
?”
Xu Yong wondered: "That's what everyone said. Isn't that true? Could it be that Mr. Hou killed it alone?"
Shi Zhongjian raised his neck, drank the wine in the glass, and said with a "haha" smile: "It is true that our Lord Marquis is a general, but on the battlefield, there are Oara troops all over the mountains and plains. If they really kill them one by one, I'm afraid
In the end, I couldn't even lift the knife, and I still couldn't kill them. It was obvious that our marquis changed into Tatar clothes, begged for mercy, and looked after each other to escape from the earthen fort. How could we kill them and escape.
"
When Shi Zhongjian said this, seeing Xu Yong nodding, he suddenly came to his senses.
In fact, what he said was certainly in line with reality. After hearing this, Xu Yong just lamented that it is not easy on the battlefield.
But Shi Zhongjian drank too much after all. He originally scolded Wu Sandao, but why did he think of belittling the Marquis in the end?
As someone who grew up with the Marquis, Shi Zhongjian didn't want his Marquis to be stigmatized, so he was startled at this moment. Cold sweat broke out on his head and he was already half awake from the wine.
He opened the door and looked out, but saw no one. He listened carefully, but saw no sound. Then he returned to the room and said with a smile: "Your food is so good. I couldn't help but drink a few more glasses. You were talking nonsense."
The clouds and mountains are shrouded in mist. Don’t take things seriously.”
Thinking about it, he felt uneasy, and said with many warnings: "Although what I told you tonight is full of horse racing and irrelevant, it involves our Lord Marquis after all. Now that our Lord Marquis is highly regarded by His Majesty, Yu Qian has the title of Minister.
So trusting, so you must never tell others, otherwise if something happens, don’t say I’m unlucky, and you will be implicated as well.”
In fact, Xu Yong did not dare to arrange the role of Marquis Wu Qing without his having to tell him.
So he nodded repeatedly and said, "Don't worry, I'm not an imitator, so of course I won't tell others."
Shi Zhongjian continued to give instructions for a while before giving up.
He knew that Xu Yong was loyal and honest, and he didn't expect him to go out and talk nonsense, so he felt relieved.
Unexpectedly, the person who heard his words was not only Xu Yong, but also Wu Sandao, Shi Zhongjian's enemy.
Wu Sandao's real name was Wu Xi, and he was Shi Heng's confidant. "San Dao" was his nickname, but Shi Zhongjian never called him by his given name, only "San Dao".
According to Shi Zhongjian's explanation: "He only knows how to use three swords. If he dies with three swords and his opponent has not done anything, he himself is doomed!" So others called him three swords. Wu Xi was happy to hear that, but Shi Zhongjian called him "three swords."
", I felt unspeakably awkward.
In fact, Wu Xi has a solid foundation in martial arts, especially a sword, and is a master of martial arts and ethics, rarely encountering opponents.
Because his martial arts skills were not suitable for battlefield battles, Shi Heng promoted him to the position of general. Although he arrived at Shi Heng's side a little later than Shi Zhongjian, he was highly appreciated by Shi Heng for his courage and strategy.
Wu Xi also managed Shi Heng's personal troops very closely and was considered very capable.
When he first came here, Wu Xi also respected Butler Shi. After a while, he realized that after Shi Zhongjian became the butler, his skills had faded and he was only talking about words, and he always showed contempt in his conversations.
Shi Zhongjian, on the other hand, was a little resentful when he saw Wu Xi being favored by Shi Heng. He also heard some sarcastic remarks from Wu Xi, which made him even more angry. He picked up on some of his faults and retorted, so the resentment between the two gradually deepened.
They competed for favor in front of Shi Heng, and from time to time they came to expose each other's secrets. Shi Heng was naturally aware of both of them, but he didn't take it seriously. Because in his opinion, the two men under his command could supervise each other, which would also be conducive to his control.
On this day, Wu Xi had another quarrel with Shi Zhongjian and did not see him in the evening. Wu Xi thought to himself: "That scoundrel Shi Zhongjian probably went to Lao Xu to ask for an advantage. He and Lao Xu are still on good terms. Today, he and I
I had an argument and didn't get the upper hand, so I'm feeling angry. Maybe he's going to say something bad about me at this moment, so I'd like to hear what he has to say."
Thinking of this, Wu Sandao quietly sneaked into the kitchen. Seeing that the lights in Xu Yong's room were on and someone was joking inside, he leaned closer to the window to listen. He heard "Let's talk about that Wu Sandao." Wu Xixin said: "Good boy, I am the one who
You figured it out." When Nan heard this, Wu Xi couldn't help but be startled, and then said with great joy: "Shi Zhongjian, Shi Zhongjian, you have handed the handle of the knife to me now. This sharp knife, when will I do it in the future?
If you love it, you can do it whenever you want! At that time, I would have no place for you to cry."
Although Shi Zhongjian was alert and opened the window to see what was going on outside, Wu Sanda's sword skills were fast and his skills were high. He had already hid on the roof and held his breath, so Shi Zhongjian naturally couldn't see it.
Wu Xi was also impatient and waited until the next day to complain to the Marquis.
