Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 926 A good master has a bright future

After leaving the Xuanzheng Palace, Lu Qianfeng led his men out of the city to search again. This time they ran further and could hardly see any human habitation. After a winter of frost and snow, the barren grasslands and mountains were so intimidating. Looking at it, I felt desolate. This desolation seemed to have already been placed in front of Lu Qianfeng.

It wasn't until he couldn't find anything anymore that he led his people back to the city.

After coming back, Lu Qianfeng asked everyone to go down to rest, while he went to a wine shop on the long street in disgrace, sat by the window and drank alone. Time passed slowly, and without realizing it, he had already drank two jars of wine.

Midday on the moon.

After pouring the last drop of wine from the jar into the bowl, Lu Qianfeng shouted impatiently: "Xiao Er, another jar!"

Hearing this, the waiter ran in quickly, but when he saw the two empty jars on the table, and looked at Lu Qianfeng's red face, he could only smile and say, "Dear guest, why don't we stop drinking."

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qianfeng rushed into anger and grabbed the waiter: "What do you mean? I asked you to deliver wine, how dare you not do it?"

The waiter smiled and said: "Dear guest, how dare you? You are just one person. The shop has rules. Single guests cannot drink more than three cups, otherwise they will become drunk -"

Lu Qianfeng narrowed his eyes and looked at him: "Are you worried that I won't be taken care of, or are you worried that I won't pay you?"

"hey-hey."

"Stop talking nonsense and bring me the wine!"

Lu Qianfeng pushed him away, but he was so drunk that he staggered and almost fell down. At this moment, there was a "bang" sound, and a wine jar fell heavily on the table in front of him. Lu Qianfeng suddenly woke up from the wine. When he raised his eyes, he saw a somewhat familiar face approaching. She smiled at him and then ordered: "Waiter, the food here is almost finished. How can we have wine without food? Bring more good food!"

As soon as the waiter saw the person, he didn't dare to neglect him and hurriedly turned around and ran away.

Lu Qianfeng took a deep breath. His mind was still a little confused, but he was more awake. Seeing the person sitting next to him, he straightened his expression and said with a smile: "Brother Mu, why are you here?"

The visitor was none other than Mu Xian, who had met him in the palace during the day.

Mu Xian smashed the mud seal with his palm, poured him a bowl of wine from the jar, and then said with a smile: "My brothers and I often come here to drink, but I didn't expect to meet Brother Lu today. I don't know if Brother Lu dislikes it." dislike--"

Lu Qianfeng became more awake.

Looking at the bowl handed over by Mu Xian, he took it with a smile, but did not drink it immediately, but said, "What a coincidence."

Mu Xian smiled and said: "I have nothing to do these days, so I came here to drink to relieve my boredom. It is indeed a coincidence."

"Brother Mu is a close confidant of King Qin and has always done important things. How come he has nothing to do?"

"Brother Lu is making fun of you, isn't he? Even the King of Qin has nothing to do now, let alone those of us who are subordinates. Apart from training troops every day, we are busy with eating, drinking and having sex. There is nothing else to do."

While talking, Mu Xian poured himself a bowl of wine, picked it up and touched it with Lu Qianfeng.

But Lu Qianfeng still didn't drink.

He smiled and said: "Eating, drinking and having diarrhea is already a major event in life."

Mu Xian said: "That's true."

"..." "It's just that the King of Qin raised us soldiers, originally hoping that we could go into battle to kill the enemy and serve the court, so that we could earn some military merit and support our families. But now, the clothes we wear are in vain and the food we eat is in vain. If you can’t even achieve any military merit, if this continues, the King of Qin will probably—”

Lu Qianfeng's eyes flickered.

He vaguely felt that Mu Xian's words seemed to have deep meaning, but after just drinking two jars of wine, his brain, which was paralyzed by the wine, was really unable to turn around. He could only vaguely grasp something that concerned him, and murmured repeatedly. : "Wear clothes in vain, eat food in vain..."

Mu Xian smiled and said: "Yes, who can raise an army without cutting clothes or consuming food?"

"..."

"Besides, the King of Qin has always been considerate. Our clothes are all made by the largest tailor shop in the city, and our grain and grass are also purchased from high-quality grain. The money is spent like water. Unlike other families, the fabrics used are those that are not durable. It’s so sharp that it cuts a hole in its movements.”

"..."

"I heard that there is a cloth shop in the south of the city that specializes in this kind of cloth. No one in the city wears it, and they only deliver it outside the city."

Lu Qianfeng's expression gradually became serious, and when he glanced at Mu Xian's smiling eyes again, his heart became brighter.

He was silent for a long time, and finally picked up the bowl in his hand, touched it gently to the wine bowl that Mu Xian had been holding in front of him, and said meaningfully: "Since Brother Mu has followed the good and considerate master, Then follow it well."

"..."

"A good master has a bright future."

Mu Xian smiled and said, "I'm borrowing my brother's good advice."

After saying that, the two of them drank the wine in the bowl. Just after finishing the bowl, the waiter brought several side dishes on the tray to them. But before they put them down, Lu Qianfeng had already stood up and said: " Brother Mu, I owe you this drink today. I have already drank more than two jars, and I can’t drink any more.”

Mu Xian smiled and said: "Brother Lu has important things to do, so naturally he can't delay it because of drinking."

"Serious words."

"In this way, we can drink again after the big thing is over."

After saying that, both of them stood up and handed over their hands. The waiter stood aside, dumbfounded at the strange words and actions of the two people, unable to react at all. Lu Qianfeng had already walked out from his side, raised his hand, and threw a piece of silver to him. .

The waiter in the shop was in a panic, but he caught him immediately. Although he didn't understand what happened, he quickly thanked him: "Thank you for your distinguished guest!"

In the distance, I could only hear the sound of horse hooves as Lu Qianfeng got on his horse and galloped away after leaving the restaurant.

That night, a village outside the city was raided in the dark.

According to the account records of the cloth shop owner who delivered tailors and clothes and the rice shop owner who delivered grain in the city, Lu Qianfeng estimated in advance that there were about a hundred people in the village, so the left leader of the army sent hundreds of troops to directly surround the village. Although Zhuangzi was full of young men who were good at martial arts, Lu Qianfeng showed his imperial order as soon as he appeared, and even warned them that if they dared to resist, they would be directly punished for treason. Although these people were very vigilant, they were just captured. During the siege, he picked up the sword, but in the end he still didn't dare to disobey the emperor's order, let alone bear the charge of treason, so he could only put down the weapon obediently.

Lu Qianfeng could tell directly from their clothes that they were from the same group as the corpses of the assassins sent to the morgue to kill Pei Xingyuan and beheaded by the guards.

He took these people back to the city and interrogated them all night.

Before dawn, a clearly signed confession was delivered to Yu Wenyuan's Liangyi Palace.

Happy May Day everyone
