Fisherman's Song Dynasty

Xu Zizhen looked surprised: "Why can't I come? Didn't the emperor promise me and Luo...Princess Yuping?"

"Oh Mr. Xu, it's a long story, but...it's just that things have changed now, and you may not be able to see the princess anymore." Eunuch Li hesitated and couldn't tell.

Xu Zizhen's face sank, and his voice raised a lot: "What do you mean? Are the rumors outside true? Luo'er is really going to marry the son of Lord Mou? Get out of the way, I want to see the emperor, he is an emperor anyway, How can you talk like fart?"

Eunuch Li was in a hurry: "Mr. Xu shut up!" This is at the gate of the palace, surrounded by a large group of forbidden soldiers. Even if Xu Zizhen once saved Princess Yuping, this is disrespectful to the emperor, and he will be beheaded!Eunuch Li is a member of Li Luoyan's palace, and he also witnessed the process of Xu Zizhen saving the princess with his own eyes, so although the emperor ordered him, he still favored Xu Zizhen.

But Xu Zizhen didn't appreciate it at all, he grabbed Eunuch Li by the skirt and asked, "Let me ask you, does the princess know about this? Or is it just the emperor's wishful thinking to mess with the mandarin ducks?"

Eunuch Li was old and weak, how could he break free from Xu Zizhen's palm, and said anxiously: "The emperor brought this up, but the princess has no objection."

Xu Zizhen suddenly froze, and slowly let go of his palms. Eunuch Li took the opportunity to get away and took half a step back, carefully persuading: "Mr. Xu, if there is nothing else to do, our family will leave first."

"Eunuch Li." Xu Zizhen stopped him suddenly, and asked slowly, "Do you know why the emperor suddenly gave the princess to Mr. Mou's son?"

Eunuch Li hesitated for a moment, and finally said in a low voice: "Young Master Xu defeated our Xia Kingdom's [-] sons at Jincheng Pass. This matter has been known from all over the world. Naturally, the emperor has his own difficulties. The princess also needs to avoid suspicion." .”

Xu Zizhen nodded: "Okay, I see." After he finished speaking, he turned and left without turning his head, but his expression now was completely different from when he first came, his face was ashen and his eyes were dull, and he turned a blind eye to the heavily armed guards around him , just shuffling along.

Those forbidden soldiers were fine, because Xu Zizhen didn't act wild in the end, but the general guarding the city couldn't help it. He didn't know who the son-in-law was, because the princess's marriage to Mou Diying was just a side street. It was just news. When he saw Eunuch Li coming out of the room at the beginning, he immediately believed in Xu Zizhen's identity as a son-in-law.

But then things changed suddenly. Although the conversation between the two affirmed the relationship between Xu Zizhen and the princess, it also clarified the fact that the emperor had promised the princess to Mou Diying. Now his anger suddenly jumped up. His face is still burning hot, this slap is not for nothing.

He choked that his knife was out of its sheath, and ordered the two accompanying soldiers: "Take down this thief with me!"

Xu Zizhen didn't look back, he didn't seem to see his saber at all, Eunuch Li hurriedly stopped: "Wait a minute, the princess has ordered, don't make things difficult for Mr. Xu."

The general didn't dare to disobey, so he had to put the knife back into the sheath resentfully, and gave Xu Zizhen a hard look, and spat: "Damn it, the princess doesn't even look down on you, why are you dragging, don't fall into my hands !"

Xu Zizhen seemed to have never heard of all this, and still walked slowly. Da Ye hurriedly led the horse over and supported Xu Zizhen, while Zhuo Ya sneered and gloated: "So you rely on Princess Xixia, but Now that the dream of being a son-in-law cannot come true, can you still be so overbearing?"

Da Ye turned his head and bowed his hands to Zhuo Ya with a bitter face, signaling her not to make trouble. He had never seen Xu Zizhen's appearance at this time, and he was afraid that his heart had suffered a great blow. In case Zhuo Ya's words stimulated her God knows what stupid things he would do with his temperament.

Xu Zizhen didn't pay attention to it at all, the people and things around him seemed to be completely isolated from him, and Ohno had no choice but to walk slowly with him.

Fortunately, Xingqing Mansion is the capital of the Western Xia Kingdom after all. Although it is not as prosperous as Bianliang in the Song Dynasty, it is not deserted. There are still many pedestrians on the street at this time, and there are still many shops that are not closed. There are red lanterns one by one, and the celebration of the New Year can still be seen. The lanterns at the entrance of one of the stores are particularly eye-catching, with four vertical rows, and the four characters of Qingqiu Inn are written on it.

Da Ye supported Xu Zizhen and said in a low voice, "Master, it's getting late, let's stay here."

Xu Zizhen's eyes were still dull, turning a deaf ear to Oh Ye's words, Oh Ye was so anxious that he was about to cry: "Master, don't be like this, just say something!"

"Huh..." Xu Zizhen finally seemed to wake up, let out a long breath, raised his eyelids and looked around, "Just live here, you and this bitch go in first, I'll find a place to drink. "After speaking, he lifted his foot and walked forward.

Ono said anxiously: "Master, wait for me, I will go with you."

Xu Zizhen suddenly turned his head to stare at him, and shouted loudly: "I just want to be quiet for a while, don't bother me!"

Da Ye had never been scolded by him like this before, and he was stunned for a while. When he came back to his senses, Xu Zizhen had already disappeared. Zhuo Ya looked at Xu Zizhen coldly from the beginning to the end, and didn't say a word until he left, just His eyes were full of disdain and contempt.

Xu Zizhen walked in a daze, randomly found a restaurant that was not closed, and walked in. At this time, there were not many customers, just four or five sporadic people. Surprised by others, they asked for a jar of wine.

The wine jars in Xixia are similar to those in the Central Plains. The big jar is fifty catties and the small jar is twenty catties. Xu Zizhen ordered a big jar, but he didn't ask for a side dish. He took two or three mouthfuls of the bowl and drank it, and poured another bowl without wiping his mouth.

Xiao Er's eyes straightened. He had been working as a waiter in a restaurant for some years, and it was the first time he had seen such a bold man drinking, and this man was so gentle and fair, like a big girl, he would be stunned. , Then I remembered to ask Xu Zizhen if he would like to order a few more dishes to go with the wine, but he didn't expect Xu Zizhen to growl.

Now it's clean, the last thing a restaurant owner wants to provoke is drunk and crazy people, but Xu Zizhen has both of them, and even the guests at the adjacent table moved away secretly, lest he go crazy and come to himself Bad luck.

Xu Zizhen didn't pay attention to others, and after driving Xiao Er away, he just drank bowl after bowl. After a while, his face turned red and his eyes became confused. He held the wine jar with one hand and held the bowl with the other. Mouth vaguely do not know what to say.

Of course, no one noticed that Xu Zizhen's eyes were staring at the door without any trace. He already had a good capacity for drinking, and since he gained internal energy, he has leaped a lot compared to before, so how could he be so drunk so quickly.

Time passed by, and Xu Zizhen was not in a hurry. Anyway, there is always tomorrow when a fish is hooked. Suddenly, a faint smile flashed in his eyes.

Is this coming?

A stooped old man appeared at the entrance of the restaurant, wearing a washed white Taoist robe, his sparse gray hair was tied up in a small bun, a small cloth bag was slung on his shoulder, and a white cloth flag was held in his hand. It reads: Iron-mouthed gods tell Guiguzi!
