Sixty-five [mountain and game food for money]

After collecting the money, Deng Kui invited another vegetarian banquet and said with a smile: "I know Master Hong, you are a vegetarian. Let's use vegetarian banquet together today."

"I don't eat all vegetarian food, I just don't like the five meats and three hates. I like the rest of the chicken, duck, fish and meat." Zhong Qi replied.

"Hahaha... People come, Master Fan Hong said, "Everyone makes chicken, duck, fish and meat, and bring two more jars of good wine." Deng Kui laughed when he heard this.

Suddenly, Su Yan took down and put on the meat and meat. Zhong Qi smiled slightly and took it all. He took the wine jar and sipped his lips and said, "It's such a good wine. Drinking it is like swallowing charcoal, it's so strong..."

"This was discovered in He Yinggong's house. I don't know what the name is. If Master Hong likes it, there will be seven or eight o'clock, and I will be moved to you later." Deng Kui also took a sip and grinned with his teeth.

"Report..."

While chatting, a soldier came over and said, "Report to Duke Han, General Changheng is back..."

Deng Kui hurriedly threw away his chopsticks and asked, "Where is he? Let him come and see me."

"The major general is still more than ten miles away, but he just asked Biaoxia to come and send a message first, asking Han Gong to prepare early."

After the young master finished speaking, Deng Kui frowned and said, "What are the movements of Hu Qi..."

"The day before yesterday, more than 10,000 Di, Hu, infantry and cavalry went out of Ganzhou and went outside Foping County. The major general organized civilians to defend the city, and the two armies fought for several days.

There were few soldiers in the city and could not fight him. So last night, the Major General led the cavalry to break through at night. Dihu raised the torch with thousands of light cavalry and chased after him."

After the young master said that, he was silent for a moment, and then clasped his fists and said, "Last night, the two armies fought at night and ran for 80 miles. By the morning of this day, the Hu cavalry had chased into Yang County.

The major general was afraid that the Han Gong was unable to deal with it in a hurry, so he led his army to fight and retreat. Now he was entangled with the Hu cavalry at Yanzhan Bridge, fifteen miles north of Liangzhou, and the younger ones came to report first."

Hearing that thousands of Hu cavalry went south, Deng Kui was shocked and hurriedly stood up and summoned: "Come to recruit all civil and military officials, and the prefectural yamen to discuss matters..."

Seeing this, Zhong Qi said: "I don't understand military and political affairs, so I will take my leave first."

Deng Kui nodded and said, "Master Hong will go by. Now the military and political affairs are complicated, so I have to drink with Master Hong the next day."

Zhong Qi carries silver ingots and carries a wine jar, drinks while walking, and leaves the state yamen and wanders around the city.

After Deng’s army entered the city, they did not say that they had no crimes, but the military discipline control was still good.

The people in the city are in peace. Although the prosperity in the market is no better than in the past, it is a big city with hundreds of thousands of people, and there are still people in the streets.

Deng Kui relied on a group of old officials to quickly restore order in the city, and the people also went out to adapt to the new regime.

"I wonder if Liu Changfeng is still in Deyuan Tower now, let's go and see him."

After leaving the state yamen, Zhong Qi had nowhere to go except the inn where he lived. Thinking of his former friend and not knowing how he is now, Zhong Qi planned to go over and take a look.

Deyuan Tower was not far from the state yamen. Zhong Qi walked around and tasted some street snacks along the way. After turning a few streets, he arrived in front of Deyuan Tower.

The plaque of Deyuan Tower has not changed, the four doors are open, the crowds are full of people, and the seats are full of guests, and business is still booming, as if it has not been affected by the war.

When I walked into the building, I was noisy and bustling with guests to drink. Zhong Qi looked around, and the waiter who was running the hall and the accountant were all innocent.

"Sir, have you invited me, have some wine or stay?" Seeing Zhong Qi standing at the door looking around, the sharp-eyed waiter hurried over and bowed and asked.

Zhong Qi looked at him after hearing this, and Han Xiao asked, "I'm still like the fourth brother..."

After saying that, he walked to an empty seat on the table and sat down. The waiter scratched his head in confusion, hesitated for a moment, and ran over and asked, "I wonder what four dishes are you talking about?"

"Old four-piece..."

"No, the younger one asked the four dishes that Mr. said, which were the four dishes. Please sign up one by one." The waiter said with a delightful look on his face.

"Hahaha...you guy, you've just arrived soon..." Zhong Qi chuckled.

He looked at Zhong Qi with a strange look, and the waiter replied: "I dare not say it for a long time. I came here in the first month of this year, how can I know?"

"Hehe, no wonder I don't recognize regular customers and don't know my taste. If you ask the shopkeeper, you will say that Taoist Zhong is here, and he will arrange it..." Zhong Qi smiled with a pursed lips.

The waiter scratched his head, Sifu for a moment, and suddenly realized, "Sir, you are a regular customer from the New Year. You don't know, now the store has been replaced and transferred to the current owner.

I sent off my old man early in the first lunar month. Now my accountant and chef are all here this year, and the food is different.”

Zhong Qi was stunned when he heard this and said to himself: "Even the store has been sold out, I guess Liu Changfeng will not be here."

Last year, Liu Changfeng had agreed with Zhong Qi to meet in late spring to discuss the matter of joining the Yiqi sect and plotting against Liang.

Before the late spring was late, the Daliang court had collapsed, and Liu Changfeng did not come to Wushan to find Zhong Qi as agreed. Now he doesn't know where he is.

Seeing Zhong Qi stunned, the waiter shouted: "Sir, sir, then let me give you something."

"Then let me steam bear's paw, cook turtle soup, roast ox heads, and stir-fry donkey hearts." Zhong Qi replied. Since Liu Changfeng was not there, he was working hard for a long time to wait, so he was ready to find an excuse to leave.

"Oh... so good, sir, please wait..."

The waiter sang a promise and turned around and left, leaving Zhong Qiyi's face with a black look. He was sloppy. He wanted to make things difficult for him and then get out, but he didn't want to talk casually, but he actually had all the dishes.

After a while, the guests around him whispered and looked at the four dishes on Zhong Qi's table with strange eyes.

Steamed bear's paw, big turtle soup, roasted beef head, fried donkey heart, and four kinds of delicacies, all filled the table.

Thinking that not eating was a waste, Zhong Qi feasted in big pieces and ate them happily, but the cow head was sloppy, and Zhong Qi didn't taste it, but the rest ate most of them.

......

"Sir, the shop is not on credit, you have a total of..." The shopkeeper with a rich face had seven or eight brutes behind him. He looked at Zhong Qi and said with a gentle look on his face.

"Stop, I'll say a number, and I'll get the yellow car right away... Well, I'll pay the bill right away... One hundred taels..."

Before the shopkeeper could finish his words, Zhong Qi took out two large ingots of silver, threw them on the table with a loud voice, and interrupted with a bold look on his face.

The shopkeeper picked up two ingots of silver, weighed it in his hand, and smiled with a squinted smile: "Hehe, it's not enough... The four dishes that the sir ordered are 400 taels in total..."

Zhong Qi, who was sucking tea with a calm face, heard the words "Puff..." and sprayed the tea everywhere, and said in surprise: "Four hundred taels...I...you..."

"Sir, are you going to be sir and have a tycoon meal?" The shopkeeper turned his eyes behind him, and then several Biaohans surrounded Zhong Qi with sticks.

When it comes to fighting, Zhong Qi will naturally not be afraid of them. It is natural to give money to eat, but it is not delicious. He has to beat people up, and he can't do this.

Zhong Qi had no choice but to reply: "It's not bad for the debt, it's not bad for the debt. If you believe me, condemn a friend to go to the state yamen to find Han Gong, and say I'm Taoist Zhong and ask him to give him money."

"Are you a Taoist man who is so entertaining us? How could you pay for you to fight with the Han Gong?" the shopkeeper shouted.

"Oh... this hundred taels were given to me by Mr. Han. Whether you believe it or not, I have no text on me. Even if you beat me to death, it won't work." Zhong Qi waved his hand and walked on the bench, saying no attention.

Seeing that the Taoist was fearless, the shopkeeper was skeptical. He pondered for a moment, and then smiled and said, "Okay, then Dao Dao is waiting for a moment."

After saying that, he asked the waiter who was quick to go to the prefecture and talked about it.

Soon, there was a noise outside. The waiter led a maid from the state yamen and arrived with silver. The waiter was shocked and said to the shopkeeper whisper: "Boss, the Taoist priest should not be offended. It is indeed an acquaintance of Han Gong. When Han Gong heard about this, he condemned the maid to send money."

"This is Zhong Zhenren, the mentor of Mr. Han. You are scared and dare to make trouble." The maid hurriedly bowed at the first sight of Zhong Qi, and then scolded the shopkeeper and others.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper was so scared that he fell down and knelt down, and apologized: "The villain has no eyes, but does not know the master. I hope to forgive him..."

Zhong Qiyi looked speechless and quickly stood up to help him up and said, "Thank you, the shopkeeper, it's okay, it's okay."
