Zhurou

Chapter 41
After this, the atmosphere during the banquet became a little strange.

Zhao Mingzhi was vaguely appreciating two or three points, feeling a little uncomfortable, Li Xun on the right turned his head, slightly closer to the half-fisted position, without lowering his voice, and said naturally as usual: "There are many people on the table and they are chaotic. They are all from the rivers and lakes, very rude, I just asked someone to make some small dishes for you alone, and asked Cheng Yan to send you back to hide for a while."

Sure enough, Wei Chengyan stood up with a smile on his face, acting as a guide beside him.

A group of people at the table were just about to coax and persuade her to stay. Seeing Li Xun talking to her, and seeing that his family was called "rude", everyone immediately lowered their heads and pretended nothing happened. Some touched their sleeves, others looked at their teacups. , when she got up to salute and leave, everyone learned to be gentle.

It’s just that they are really a group of old men, who repeatedly dismissed dry messages such as “No more meetings?”, “Eat more meat”, “You’re welcome to what you want”, and can’t say a single beautiful word.

After getting off the table, Zhao Mingzhi heaved a sigh of relief.

In fact, she doesn't dislike this banquet at all, on the contrary, she really wants to listen to the conversation among the people, even if she only makes a few indirect remarks, she can also understand the situation of Second Brother Li, and better know how much he can listen to in the future.

It's just that the time is too urgent this time. They are talking about serious business, and an outsider is caught in the middle. It really delays, so there is no need.

As soon as she stepped out of the door of the wing room, the cold wind like a small knife blew towards her face, her face was obviously numb from the cold, but she still felt the pain, so she hurriedly covered her face with her hands from the wind.

Wei Chengyan in front was also blocked by the wind and snow, "spit" on the ground, turned his head and said, "Stand behind your third brother Wei, I have a big physique."

Just as Zhao Mingzhi was about to respond, he heard the sound of footsteps not far away. When he looked up, there was no light to illuminate him, only a few people came from a distance from the darkness.

Even though it was dark, there was still light from the pasted doors and windows at the back, and Wei Chengyan was holding a long lantern in his hand, which illuminated the silhouettes of the people opposite.

They walked so fast that they could almost be said to be running, and they were wearing half armor, and the armor was obviously a military standard.

When this group of people is far away, it already makes people feel that their stature is not low. When they get close, Zhao Mingzhi makes a comparison, which is more touching.

In the old days of the Great Jin Dynasty, the elite of the forbidden army required a height of five feet four to be selected, and the fourth army in front of the palace was even more required to be five feet eight. Wei Jun is only five feet five or six.

But based on her own height, almost all the people she saw tonight were over five feet eighty-nine. Better than nothing.

The two sides walked straight towards each other, and the person on the other side immediately shouted: "Wei San! You boy also followed..."

Wei Chengyan immediately coughed loudly, and interrupted: "Don't be naughty, didn't you see that I have something to do here!"

Only then did the person on the opposite side discover Zhao Mingzhi who was standing behind him, so he stopped talking and moved a few steps away. When Wei and Zhao passed by, he shook hands with Wei Chengyan, bumped into shoulders and smiled, "Your boy is fine." Ah, hurry up!"

On the one hand, he looked at Zhao Mingzhi from the corner of his eye.

Wei Chengyan speculatively said: "The person I sent to my second brother, be careful with your mouth."

The man immediately shut up, even relaxed his hands and feet, he didn't dare to speak anymore, he quickly stood aside with his companions, and watched them leave.

After walking under the eaves for a while, Zhao Mingzhi asked with a smile: "Brother Chengyan, was that man wearing military armor just now?"

Wei Chengyan said casually: "It's our old friend who happened to be stationed nearby. This time I heard that my second brother is here, so I came here specially to gather."

He led the way ahead, obviously familiar with the layout of the house here, and soon led Zhao Mingzhi to the door of a wing room, pushed the door in, and then turned around and said: "You rest here for a night, there is a cook next door Auntie, come here soon, call her for help if you need anything."

Zhao Mingzhi quickly thanked him, and urged him: "Let's go back to the banquet, everyone in the house is waiting for you, the time is so short, we have to leave tomorrow."

Wei Chengyan laughed, and said, "I won't leave tomorrow, but you and the second brother will go first."

Zhao Mingzhi looked at him in surprise.

Wei Chengyan said: "I have other things to do here, you and the second brother will go ahead, and you will be delayed in Junzhou for a night, and when I finish it, I will catch up day and night."

He didn't say anything, just smiled and said: "What's the matter? I told you to go alone with the second brother, are you afraid?"

Then he specially elongated his tone, and said with a smile: "Oh, it's a pity that the bodyguard bureau here has another living body. Otherwise, if the twenty or thirty bodyguards are used to clear the way in front, and another twenty or thirty people will guard the back, wouldn't it be better than only the second brother alone?" Escorts are majestic?"

Zhao Mingzhi didn't answer him directly, but walked half a step closer, raised his head on his feet, sniffed from the air, and suddenly asked: "Brother Chengyan, did you really only drink half a pot of wine?"

The expression on Wei Chengyan's face froze immediately, and he said, "Of course?"

Zhao Mingzhi said "oh", and said again: "My family also makes private wine, and I also sell wine, especially my mother is very good wine, I like Fenglelou Meishou wine in Beijing the most, followed by Yaochi wine from a noble family, It is said that the entrance is light, but it has a long aftertaste—Brother Chengyan, what you drink is Yaochi wine, right?"

Wei Chengyan was about to turn around, but now he stopped at the same spot with his hands and feet, and he didn't even dare to speak.

Zhao Mingzhi pursed his lips and said with a smile: "This Yaochi wine has strong aftertaste, but the taste of the wine is light. If you only drink a few cups, in fact, others will not be able to smell it - when my father is at home, my mother only dares to drink this wine secretly. He's easy to spot."

For a while, he said again: "I can smell the fragrance of Yaochi wine even when I stand here, Brother Chengyan is afraid that he must drink a catty or two to do this?"

Zai smiled and asked, "Does Second Brother not drink often? It seems that he can't tell the difference?"

Wei Chengyan just had a hot meal during the banquet, so he took off his coat and opened half of his arms. He still felt hot, but after hearing Zhao Mingzhi's words, he was so cold that goose bumps would come out, and he crossed his arms and begged for mercy: "Miss Zhao!"

Zhao Mingzhi almost laughed out loud, and said: "But maybe I smelled it wrong, it's not Yaochi wine, it's just ordinary village wine? Brother Cheng Yan only drank a few sips?"

Wei Chengyan nodded repeatedly, like a rooster pecking at rice, fast and fierce, he didn't dare to stay any longer, thanked him, and was about to run out.

Zhao Mingzhi hesitated for a moment, but called him back, and said just now: "I was joking just now, don't take it to heart."

After finishing speaking, he took out a bottle of medicine from the sachet in his waist and gave it to him, saying: "Although I don't know what you have to do tomorrow, it's not easy to think about it, but I have to take care of you all the way, and I don't say any other words of thanks, but I don't care much about it." Don't worry, this is a high-quality wound medicine, it's not an ordinary product, I followed my second brother and entered the border of Junzhou, from then on I will follow the official path, so I won't be afraid of accidents - I'll keep it with you, it's best if you don't need it."

Hearing this, Wei Chengyan murmured: "I won't have any difficulties. Only when someone meets me tomorrow will I know what is not difficult!"

But after taking the medicine bottle, before turning around, he still didn't forget to turn his head and say: "Then Junzhou City is not a good place, you can keep an eye on your second brother, don't let him suffer a lot!"
