Li Zexuan didn't know that there were two brothers who were constantly thinking about him. He had been tired for the whole day, so after taking a shower, he fell into a deep sleep not long after lying on the bed.
…
Han Village, Han Family Courtyard.
It was late at night, and the moon was dark and the wind was strong.
A black shadow floated over the wall and landed on the ground without making a sound.
The black clothed man looked around, then bent down and carefully sneaked into the wine cellar on the west side of the courtyard.
A moment later, he came out with a jar of wine in his arms. His feet lightly tapped the ground, and he was about to soar into the sky. Suddenly, his feet sank, and then a huge force came. He saw a tall and burly old man lift him up and smash him against the courtyard wall with all his strength.
"Who are you, sneaking around like this? Tell me your name!"
Although Han Lizheng was already sound asleep, his many years of military life still made him vigilant. At night, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. He immediately turned over and saw a black shadow in the courtyard about to leave. He quickly went forward and grabbed the person's ankle and threw him against the courtyard wall.
When the black clothed man was about to hit the wall, he pulled out the soft sword at his waist and poured his internal energy into it. The soft sword made a sound and instantly straightened. The black-clothed man hurriedly pressed the soft sword against the wall to cushion the impact. The soft sword suffered a huge impact and was quickly pressed into an arc. The black-clothed man took advantage of the momentum to do a beautiful somersault in the air and landed steadily.
"Oh ~, I didn't think that there would be an expert in this remote village."
After the black clothed man landed, he looked at Han Lizheng and said in a neutral tone. His voice was feminine and ear-piercing. The most disgusting thing was that when he spoke, he even raised his thumb and middle finger. Han Lizheng listened to his voice and looked at his actions. Instantly, his hair stood on end and goosebumps appeared all over his body.
"Who are you? What do you want in my house in the middle of the night?" Han Lizheng trembled and shouted.
"Hehehe!"
The black clothed man laughed. This made Han Lizheng so disgusted that he almost threw up his dinner. At this time, he heard the black clothed man say in a coquettish voice:
"Aiyo ~, I just came to borrow a jar of wine from you. Why are you being so fierce? You hurt me just now. Alright, I won't talk nonsense with you anymore. I have to go. "
After saying that, he twisted his thumb and middle finger, lightly twisted his' snake waist ', stomped his feet on the ground, and fled far away like a gust of wind.
Han Lizheng also wanted to chase, but his left leg had an old injury, so it was inconvenient for him to move. Moreover, this black clothed man's Qing Gong was extremely high, and Han Lizheng himself was not proficient in Qing Gong, so he could only stand in the same place, helpless.
"Father, what happened?"
Han Yuxi heard a sound in the courtyard, so she put on her coat and came out to investigate.
Han Lizheng shook his head and comforted her, "It's okay. Yuxi, go back and sleep. Tomorrow, I will accompany you to Chang 'an City."
Today, the man in black was of unknown origin. Han Lizheng smelled a trace of danger. Thinking that his daughter was going to Chang 'an to deliver wine tomorrow, Han Lizheng was somewhat worried and decided to accompany his daughter.
"En, Father, then daughter will go to sleep. Father should also rest early."
Han Yuxi did not see anything unusual, so after she finished speaking, she directly turned around and went back to her room to rest.
.....
The next morning.
After Li Zexuan finished his breakfast, he asked Faubert to bring people to buy various kinds of wine, and then he went to the West Courtyard to practice.
Previously, his "Taixuan Sutra" showed signs of breaking through to the sixth level, but as he was busy with mundane affairs these days, the feeling of breaking through in his body disappeared. This made him very depressed, so he decided to work hard today. He wanted to use the sword to refine the True Qi in his body.
However, someone did not let him do as he wished. He had just practiced for a while when Cheng Chumo came to his door.
"Haha, Little Xuan, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you have been conferred a title. You have to treat your brother to a few drinks!"
Cheng Chumo laughed loudly and walked into the West Courtyard. This fellow was now a frequent guest of the Li Family, and there was no need to report his entry. All the servants in the residence knew that he was the son of Lu Guogong, and no one dared to stop him.
Li Zexuan put away the Wind Chasing Sword and came up to him with a smile. "Brother Chou Niu, you can't say that. Look, your younger brother has been conferred a title. As his elder brother, shouldn't you treat your younger brother to a big meal to celebrate?"
"Uh …"
Cheng Chumo was suddenly speechless. He scratched his head and muttered, "That seems to be the case!"
Li Zexuan looked at him and found it funny. He thought that since he had nothing to do, it would be fun to tease this fellow. So he continued.
"Then tomorrow, Brother Chou Niu will treat us to a big meal at the Drunken Immortal Restaurant. How about it?"
Cheng Chumo was instantly embarrassed. He knew his family's situation very well. His father had just taken out four to five thousand strings of cash to buy chicken seedlings, and Li Er had docked three months of his father's salary. This was one disaster after another. Old Cheng's family was currently living a tight life, waiting for Old Li to give them a salary.
Cheng Chumo did not have much pocket money left, so he was too embarrassed to look for his friends. When he heard that Li Zexuan had been conferred a title, he thought that he would be able to freeload a good meal here. Who knew that he would be defeated by Li Zexuan? This instantly turned awkward.
However, what kind of person was Cheng Chumo? He did not care about things like face. He chuckled cheekily and said, "Hehe, that's great.
Little Xuan, I'll take you to the Yunxi Restaurant for a big meal tomorrow. I heard that they invited the imperial chef from the previous dynasty, Xia Shengyuan, to cook there. I'll treat you, and you'll pay. How about it? "
When Li Zexuan heard the first half of his sentence, he thought that the sun had risen from the west today. This fellow actually took the initiative to treat him to a meal? When Li Zexuan heard Cheng Chumo say that he would pay for the meal, Li Zexuan staggered. He wanted to slap his size 42 shoes on Cheng Chumo's size 38 face. Of course, Cheng Chumo probably didn't know how big a size 38 was.
Li Zexuan said unhappily, "Get the f * ck out of here!"
… …
After the brothers teased each other for a while, Li Zexuan brought him to the front hall and asked someone to serve tea and snacks. At this moment, he suddenly remembered what Cheng Chumo had said and asked,
"Chou Niu, you just said that the Yunxi Restaurant invited the imperial chef from the previous dynasty?"
Cheng Chumo did not eat much in the morning. As he ate tea and snacks, he stammered, "That's right.
That imperial chef from the previous dynasty lives not far from my house. When I came over this morning, I heard them talking about it. Sigh, if it weren't for the fact that I'm short on money, I would have gone to try that imperial cuisine! "
As Cheng Chumo spoke, his saliva was about to drip out. He quickly turned his grief into appetite and ate the tea and snacks on the table with all his might.
Li Zexuan was speechless. He had previously guessed that the Cheng Residence's finances might be a little tight recently. After all, taking out a few thousand strings of coins all at once would hurt most people. Moreover, if it weren't for the fact that their family was short on money, Cheng Chumo would not have taken the initiative to take advantage of them and buy the chicken seedlings first.
However, he had never imagined that Cheng Chumo would be in such a miserable state. He was actually so poor that he came here to freeload.
However, the matter that Cheng Chumo mentioned had attracted his attention. The Yunxi Restaurant had been making a lot of moves recently, and it was obvious that they wanted to stir up trouble. With the imperial chef's reputation, they would probably attract a lot of diners. Fortunately, his cocktail was almost ready. He had full confidence that it would definitely beat that imperial chef.
"Haha, Brother Chou Niu, you don't have to be envious of the imperial cuisine. In the end, it's just some old tricks. Our Drunken Immortal Restaurant will also be releasing a few new delicacies and a new wine. I guarantee that it will be the best wine in our Great Tang! When the time comes, this little brother will invite you to try it. "
Li Zexuan chuckled.
Hearing this, Cheng Chumo's eyes lit up. He automatically filtered out the so-called new dishes. What he cared about the most was the new wine that Li Zexuan mentioned. As a descendant of a military leader, there was no one who did not like wine.
"Little Xuan, is this wine really as good as you say it is? Big brother is very picky when it comes to wine. I won't drink unless it's a famous wine! "
Cheng Chumo said arrogantly.
Li Zexuan snorted in his heart. It was already good enough that the old Cheng Chumo could afford wine. Cheng Chumo was still panting here, but he was still his brother. He still had to give him some face. Li Zexuan said cooperatively, "Chou Niu Niu, don't worry.
"Chou Ox, don't worry. When my master was alive, he loved to drink this kind of wine the most. Do you think this wine tastes good?"
Hearing this, Cheng Chumo felt as if his heart was being scratched by a hundred claws. He looked forward to this new wine even more. He had heard the legend of Spiritual Master Ling Xu from his father countless times. In his opinion, this kind of wine that even immortals loved to drink should be considered an immortal wine!
"Little Xuan, where is this wine? Big brother can't wait. Quickly take it out and let me have a taste! "
Li Zexuan shook his head and laughed, "This wine is a kind of mixed wine. It hasn't been mixed yet. I plan to start mixing it when the ingredients are delivered."
Cheng Chumo said excitedly, "That's great. Big brother has nothing to do today. I'll wait here for you to mix the wine. Haha, I can even taste the wine for you for free!"
This guy was really shameless. He obviously wanted to freeload the wine, but he said it in such a dignified manner.
Li Zexuan's face was full of black lines. However, he didn't know how to drink. Letting Cheng Chumo taste the wine on the side was a good idea. He just hoped that this guy would be more reliable when the time came.
