The Beacon of Kyushu

Chapter 89 Pretending to be an officer and wearing white dragon fish clothing

The donkey cart walked for a long time before finally entering Zhuozhou.I saw that Zhuozhou City is not too big, but the ground is made of blue bricks. There are neatly trimmed trees on both sides of every street and alley, and the houses and shops under the shade of green trees are also in order. Most of the people going north also had smiles on their faces, as if they were not affected by the Song-Liao war at all.

Du Tingyi looked at the street scene and smiled with satisfaction, "Look, this is what my Song Dynasty should look like. It's not as dilapidated as Gu'an County, which doesn't even have a better restaurant!"

Lu Meng was pointing to a small restaurant on the second floor at the remote end of the street, and said, "General Du, although this restaurant is not the largest in Zhuozhou, it can be regarded as a relatively decent one. You can eat now, right?"

Du Tingyi pursed his lips, and said with some displeasure: "I have eaten at this restaurant a few years ago, and the taste is just so-so. It is far inferior to the Fanlou in Tokyo. I think it's better to change it!"

Wan Jianfeng smiled and said: "General Du, you still have the energy to choose the fat and the thin. It seems that you didn't contribute much on the battlefield! Since you are not hungry, why don't you save your meal money and continue on your way."

Lu Mengzheng also said: "From Xiaosheng's point of view, it is also true. It is better to tighten your belt and rush for another three days and three nights. After we enter Tokyo, it will not be too late for us to eat!"

Murong Yunyao licked the corners of her mouth with her tongue, and said with unsatisfactory thoughts: "Anyway, this girl is full of food and drink in Gu'an County. If you are willing to continue on your way, this girl has no objection."

Du Tingyi hammered the car board helplessly, as if he had made a lot of determination, and said: "Forget it, let's go to this place. I have been hungry all day and night. If there is no more food, I will starve to death!" "

Wan Jianfeng hurriedly said: "Hey, man, this young hero is so big, it's the first time I've seen you as a deserter with such an air! You said that you didn't use any effort when killing the enemy, but you were not weak when you smashed the car board! This journey Your butt is the most precious, and most of the car is occupied by you alone, if it is smashed, it depends on where you lie!" Du Tingyi closed his mouth when he heard this, and lay silently on the car floor, as if I don't want to talk to Wan Jianfeng anymore.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Mengzheng had driven the cart to the door of the small restaurant, tied the donkey to the gatekeeper's stone lion, and then helped Du Tingyi out of the cart.Wan Jianfeng and Murong Yunyao rushed into the restaurant in a few steps, but Du Tingyi was not in a hurry to enter, but looked up and down the small restaurant, and found that it had been renovated at some time, although the appearance was not luxurious , but somehow it is antique, spacious and bright.The interior of the building is all made of light yellow cypress wood, which is very clean after being wiped, and a layer of pulp has grown over time, which shines brightly under the sunlight.

Du Tingyi was hungry, afraid that he would pick and choose again, and the three of them really wanted to leave him, so they had to walk quickly into the shop.Seeing this, Lu Meng smiled, heaved a sigh of relief, and walked in behind him.

In the lobby of the restaurant, there were a dozen guests sitting.Some are businessmen nearby, some are the sons and daughters of officials in the city, some are travelers who happen to pass by here, and there are a few people in the rivers and lakes with weapons.

Du Tingyi saw the mess in the hall, curled his lips in dissatisfaction, stepped up the stairs opposite the gate, and was about to enter the private room on the second floor.Wan Jianfeng hurriedly grabbed him, and said: "Brother, you don't need to pay for the meal of feelings, so you just want to harm my money, right?"

Murong Yunyao said: "General Du, this man was a beggar a few days ago, if he is willing to spend a lot of money to treat you to dinner today, I don't know what is wrong. If you continue to be so picky, he will I'm really going to be angry." Du Tingyi sighed helplessly, reluctantly went down the stairs, and sat down at the innermost table against the wall.

After the few people sat down, Wan Jianfeng called the waiter, and Du Tingyi was about to order food first. Wan Jianfeng remembered the name of the dish he had just reported in the tavern, covered his mouth quickly, and said to the waiter: "This Master Ke has typhoid fever, stay away from him, and be careful that he infects you!"

The buddy nodded quickly, and consciously kept away from Du Tingyi, for fear of getting sick.Then he said to Wan Jianfeng with a smile all over his face: "Master Ke, just order it, as long as you can order it, the small shop can do it."

Murong Yunyao heard this sentence familiar, and suddenly remembered the scene of Wan Jianfeng ordering food in the prince's mansion of Wugong County, afraid that he would order such disgusting things as ant heart and rat gall wine, so she hurriedly covered it with her hands Wan Jianfeng's mouth.Said: "Xiaoer, stay away from him too, he...he also has typhoid fever!"

The waiter really took a few steps back when he heard the words, and said nervously: "Then, which guest order? If you don't order, the younger ones will go to the back to rest first."

Murong Yunyao said: "I'll order..." Before she could finish her sentence, Wan Jianfeng suddenly remembered that her order would never be cheaper than what Du Tingyi ordered, so he quickly covered her mouth with his hand, hesitating Wu said: "She...she also has typhoid fever, you'd better stay away from her too!"

Lu Meng was watching the three of them writhing together, laughing dumbfoundedly, but the waiter backed away nervously, his voice choked up, "Ke... Master Ke, why are you all suffering from typhoid fever, why did you come to the shop as a group to eat?" They are here to seek wealth and murder!"

Wan Jianfeng tilted his head in Lu Mengzheng's direction, and said with effort: "Xiaoer, he doesn't have a cold, so you can ask him what to eat!"

The waiter hurriedly looked at Lu Mengzheng, and asked anxiously: "Mr. Ke, you'd better hurry up if you want to order something. A small family has a wife and children, so I don't want to get typhoid fever!"

Lu Mengzheng smiled and said, "A jug of wine and three plates of side dishes are enough."

The clerk nodded, and ran away as if he had received an amnesty. Wan Jianfeng also heaved a long sigh of relief, and let go of the hands covering Murong Yunyao and Du Tingyi.Murong Yunyao's cheeks twitched a few times, but she didn't say much, as if she was used to it.Du Tingyi frowned, and asked: "Surnamed Wan, how long have you not washed your stinky hands? If you cover me for a while longer, I will go to the government to sue you for murder!"

Wan Jianfeng spread his hands and said, "Wash your hands? This young man never washes his hands except when taking a bath. I originally thought about going to the Gaoliang River to take a bath in a few days, maybe after washing, my whole body would feel as if I was soaked in sorghum wine, but since The battle between Song and Liao has ended, it seems that this bath will be reserved for later."

A few people were chatting and laughing when they suddenly heard three businessman-like men sitting around a table whispering something behind them.At first, their voices were kept as low as possible, but as the chatter became more speculative, their voices gradually became louder.

I only heard a young man say: "Several, have you heard? The Emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Guangyi, personally led hundreds of thousands of troops to conquer Yanyun. Guess what happened? The Song army was defeated at the Gaoliang River. The soldiers, even Zhao Guangyi himself have disappeared."

An older man said: "The current emperor Zhao Guangyi is far behind his second brother Zhao Kuangyin. He is very vicious against weak countries, and very incompetent against strong countries. It is a pity that Emperor Taizu died. It's too early, otherwise let's not talk about recovering Yanyun, even if the Liao Kingdom is destroyed, it will not be a fool's dream!"

Another man with a somewhat hoarse voice said mysteriously: "Don't you know? Emperor Taizu was killed by his younger brother Zhao Guangyi, otherwise the throne would have belonged to Zhao Dezhao, the eldest son of Taizu's Wugong County. Who would get Zhao Guangyi?" succession?"

The young man became interested and asked: "Is this really true? Many people said that Zhao Guangyi's position is not right. I still don't understand what's going on. Hearing this is not only a wrong position, it's crazy, too much to write down!"

The older man sighed, and said: "Well, although the king of martial arts is not as gentle and martial as Taizu, he is still a hundred times stronger than Zhao Guangyi. If Zhao Guangyi really dies like this, let Zhao Dezhao succeed him , maybe the world will be more peaceful than it is now."

The two nodded and sighed after hearing the words, and then the three paid for the drinks and left the tavern one after another.Wan Jianfeng has lived in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and he has been familiar with these remarks for a long time, so he couldn't arouse his interest at all, so he drank the fine wine in his glass.But Du Tingyi felt an evil fire coming from nowhere, his fists clenched tightly, and he knocked the wine glass in front of him to the ground, spilling the wine all over him.He took a few breaths, but finally endured it.
