PS: This is a big chapter, two chapters combined into one
After Li Bai, Lu Su, Guan Hai, and Wen Chou returned to their residence from the Hero Tower, Li Bai said to Guan Hai,"" Boyong, go to Hero Tower and call Zhang Feng over." Guan Hai nodded and walked out.
Li Bai then said to Wen Chou,"Ziqin, you go and rest first. Later, go and get some delicious food to welcome Zijing."
" Yes, my lord." Wen Chou nodded.
" Zijing, let's go to my room. I want to ask you some questions," Li Bai said politely to Lu Su.
" My lord is too serious. This is my duty," Lu Su said hurriedly.
" Haha, let's go." After Li Bai finished speaking, he pulled Lu Su's hand and walked into the room in the inner courtyard. After a while, hearty laughter came from inside.
Unknowingly, it was evening." Dong dong, my lord." Li Bai heard Wen Chou calling from outside and said,""Come in." Wen Chou came in and said to Li Bai," My lord, it's time to eat."
" Oh, it's time to eat already. Sigh, time flies. Let's go, Zijing," Li Bai said, still wanting to eat more. Then, he pulled Lu Su's hand and walked out, not giving Lu Su a chance to speak at all. Lu Su could only smile bitterly and follow Li Bai out.
Li Bai sat in the upper position, while Guan Hai, Wen Chou, Lu Su and Zhang Feng sat on either side. Li Bai frequently toasted Lu Su, causing Lu Su to be at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He thought to himself, My lord is really passionate. However, despite complaining, Lu Su was still moved by Li Bai's enthusiasm and sincere eyes. He swore in his heart that he would help Li Bai achieve his career.
"Zijing, I'm very happy that you came to help me today. I'll write a poem for you. What do you think?”Li Bai suddenly said to Lu Su.
When Lu Su saw Li Bai's poem, the river was red, he was very shocked. When he heard that Li Bai was going to write a poem for him, he was immediately overjoyed and said, This subordinate is all ears."
Li Bai walked into the hall with a wine glass in his hand and slowly chanted,""Don't you see that the water of the Yellow River comes from the sky and flows into the sea without returning? Haven't you seen the sad white hair in the mirror of the high hall? In the morning, it was like a black silk that turned into snow at dusk. Life is full of joy, do not let the golden cup empty face the moon. Heaven gave me talent, I will be useful, thousands of gold scattered to come back. Cook sheep and slaughter cattle for fun, and drink three hundred cups at a time.
Lu Zijing and Guan Boyong were about to offer wine, but they did not stop drinking. I'll sing a song with you, and I'll ask you to listen to it for me. Bells, drums and jade are not expensive, I hope you will not wake up after a long time of drunkenness. Since ancient times, sages and sages have been lonely, and only those who drink leave their names. My friend used to have a banquet in Pingle, and a bucket of wine cost ten thousand yuan. Why did the host say that he was short of money? He had to buy it directly and pour it to you. I'll exchange my five-streaked horse and a thousand gold fur coat for good wine to wash away my eternal worries with you."
After he finished chanting, Lu Su stood up and said to Li Bai,""My lord is a great talent, I admire you so much that I prostrate myself on the ground. After saying that, he downed the wine in his cup.
Li Bai thought to himself," What a joke. This is Li Bai's poem. Of course it's good. Otherwise, how could I memorize it?" However, he smiled and said to Lu Su, who was slightly proud of himself,""Zijing, you flatter me."
The two of them looked at each other and laughed out loud. Guan Hai and the other two also looked at Li Bai with admiration. After eating and drinking, Li Bai was going to sleep with Lu Su, but Lu Su refused. Li Zhong thought to himself that if he didn't want to bribe Lu Su to work for him, he would sleep with him. Thinking of this, Li Bai thought of Xiu-Er who was thousands of miles away and sighed again. Then, they went back to their rooms to rest.
Of course, before that, Li Bai called Zhang Feng over to talk to him about some things before returning to his room to rest.
The next morning, Li Bai woke up and did a set of radio calisthenics in the courtyard before going to eat. Accompanied by Zhang Feng and Guan Hai, he took three carriages to Luoyang City Center.
"Lord, where are we going?，Guan Hai asked. Li Zhong smiled and shook his head. He didn't say anything and continued walking forward.
Suddenly, Li Bai heard two people talking.
"Benchu, you said that the wine here is good?”
"Meng De, why would I lie to you? My old man thinks highly of this family's wine. The wine in the clan is supplied by this family. Today, we have nothing to do but get drunk.”
Li Bai's ears were sharp. When he heard these two names, his heart trembled and he hurriedly looked for the voice. Two people walked up the stairs. One of them was tall and straight, handsome and mighty. The other person was far worse off. He had a big beard and a short figure. If it wasn't for his sparkling eyes and extraordinary aura, his appearance would simply be short and black.
F * ck, this is incredible. These two young men were Cao Cao and Yuan Shao? Li Bai patted his head. That's right, these two people are still young.
This was a super big shot, and he would definitely have contact with him in the future. Li Bai hurried over and made an expression of admiration. He took the initiative to say,"I am Li Bai. Greetings, brothers.”
"Hahaha, Li Bai, I know him. Wasn't he the Li Bai who invented the Old White Gan?”
Li Bai thought to himself, Who leaked my identity? Forget it, this is a good thing for me.”
Ha ha ha…They were brothers. Cao Cao laughed heartily and patted Li Bai's shoulder.
"Li Bai, greetings." Yuan Shao only sized him up and bowed slightly.
No wonder you were defeated by Boss Cao. Li Bai also bowed slightly to Yuan Shao. Looking at Cao Cao's tanned and short appearance, he was delighted. Aren't you being friendly? He asked with a concerned expression,"F * ck, how's your family?"
"Oh!" "Brother Li Bai, you don't have to be like this. Just call me Meng De." Cao Cao laughed. Thank you for your concern, brother.”
Pfff ~ Li Bai almost burst out laughing in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. He said,""Brother Meng De, Brother Benchu, it's rare to see you two brothers today.”
"Please!"
"Please!"
The three of them sat down and Cao Cao said,""Brother Li Bai's house sells Old White Gan, it's really good wine. My old man praises it every time he drinks it. It's just that it's troublesome to buy it and you have to queue up.”
Only then did Yuan Shao remember that the Lao Bai Gan that was popular in Luoyang was the goods of the Li Bai family. "This Old White Gan is a good thing."”
"Haha, this is easy. Guan Hai, go back and get 20 catties of Old White Dried Wine and give it to my two brothers.”Li Bai said to Guan Hai, who had almost become his bodyguard.
"Yes, sir!" Guan Hai, who was standing at the side, immediately started walking down.
Only then did Yuan Shao and Cao Cao know that the fierce man beside them was actually Li Bai's subordinate. They couldn't underestimate him. He thought to himself that this Li Bai was indeed not simple, and he had the intention to befriend him.
Boss Cao then said," It's impolite not to reciprocate. I heard that a batch of good wine has arrived at Denggao Tower. It's very delicious. Today, I'll treat you to a drink."”
Brother Li Bai, I heard that this batch of wine is on par with your Old White Wine.
Li Bai said,"Really? Brother, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first. I'll have a few drinks next time. Farewell.”
"Farewell!"
"Farewell!"
"Brother Meng De, what do you think?"
"This kid is not ordinary!"
After about ten minutes, Li Bai and the others arrived in front of a courtyard. In front of them stood four strong men, who made people feel awe at the sight of them. On the plaque was written "Zhang Mansion".
"We're here," Li Bai said to Guan Hai.
Then, he nodded to Zhang Feng. Zhang Feng understood and walked forward to the burly man in front of the door. Please inform Marquis Zhang that Zhang Feng has brought my master to pay his respects."
That person saw that it was Zhang Feng. Perhaps it was because he often saw Zhang Feng come to the Marquis's Mansion to pay his respects and had a good relationship with the Marquis, so he was very polite to Zhang Feng. He nodded to Zhang Feng and said," Mister Zhang, please wait a moment. Allow me to go and report."
Zhang Feng nodded. The man glanced at Li Bai and the others, then gave a look to the other three people beside him, and then walked into the Zhang Mansion.
After a while, the man came back and said to Zhang Feng,"Mister Zhang, Lord Marquis wants you to enter."
" En, sorry to trouble you," Li Bai said politely to the man.
" Mr. Zhang is too polite. Please," the man said to Zhang Feng.
Zhang Feng nodded and turned to Li Bai and Guan Hai,""Master, come in with me to see Lord Marquis. Boyong, wait outside."
Guan Hai nodded. Li Bai and Zhang Feng walked into the manor under the lead of the man. Guan Hai waited outside with more than ten people and looked at the three carriages.
When they arrived at the living room, the man said to the white-faced man who was sitting in the upper seat,"Lord Marquis, Mister Zhang is here."
" En, you may leave." The man waved his hand impatiently. The man cupped his hands and walked out.
After the man left, Li Bai looked at the eunuch who was called "father" by the Spirit Emperor and turned to Zhang Rang.
Zhang Rang (? 189 years), Eastern Han eunuch, Yingchuan (now Henan Yu County) people. During the reign of Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling, he successively served as a small yellow door, a constant attendant, and a marquis. When he was in office, he was famous for his extortion and arrogance. The Spirit Emperor was very fond of him and often said,"Zhang Changshi is my father." In the sixth year of Zhongping (189 years), He Jin plotted to kill eunuchs. When the matter was leaked, he and several other constant attendants plotted to kill He Jin. When Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and others heard that He Jin had been killed, they entered the palace and killed all the eunuchs. Zhang Rang had no choice but to commit suicide by drowning.
His face was pale and he was a little fat. He was smiling at Li Bai and Zhang Feng.
At this moment, Zhang Feng cupped his hands at Zhang Rang and said,""Zhang Feng greets Lord Marquis. I wish Lord Marquis good fortune."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Rang beamed at Zhang Feng and said,""Mr. Zhang is too polite."
Then, he looked at Li Bai and said,"This must be Mr. Zhang's master. He is indeed a handsome and talented man."
" Thank you for your praise, Marquis Zhang. I don't deserve it. Marquis Zhang is the pillar of our dynasty. You are truly wise and mighty," Li Bai said politely to Zhang Rang. Zhang Rang's smile was brighter than a flower after listening to it. Although it was unsightly, uh, it was wrong again.
"Sit, sit." Zhang Rang smiled and invited them to sit down."May I know why Mr. Zhang is here today?”。
