The waiter listened with great interest, but there were many stories that he himself did not know about. He quickly took out a pen and paper to record them so that he could read them out to the guests in the future. Li Yijie was secretly amazed. "Yun 'er," he said, "You know a lot. Have you drunk this wine before?" Shen Shiyun laughed. "I have never touched wine," she said, "It's just that I've heard my father talking to my Da Shu and San Shu about it. He said that one day when we go to Xi Liu, we must drink to our heart's content."
Li Yijie clapped his hands and laughed. "Wonderful!" he said, "Your father and I are good friends in wine. If we can meet, we'll drink three cups at the same table. It'll be great." But then he saw Shen Shiyun's eyelashes drooping and her face looking sad. Only then did he remember that her father was no longer in this world. His words had inadvertently triggered her sadness. Immediately he cleared his throat and raised his cup. "Drink, drink."
Nangong Xue was unhappy to see Shen Shiyun in the limelight. When Li Yijie was about to pour more wine, she gently pressed his hand down and said in a low voice, "Shixiong, don't drink anymore!" "Why?" Li Yijie asked.
Nangong Xue blushed slightly. "Because you drink wine and your heart is happy," she said angrily, "If you do that, you'll listen to whatever other people say!" She was referring to Shen Shiyun, but Li Yijie misunderstood. "Don't worry," he said, "I'll ignore whatever Cao Daren says later. I'm already sorry. If I refuse his invitation to drink wine, I'll be committing a crime on top of a crime!" Finished speaking, he downed another cup. Jiang Liechen smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, Brother Li will just be a spectator. May I ask what Cao Daren has to say? "
Cao Zhenyan said, "Yesterday Jiang Gongzi said, 'Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together.' Everything that has happened recently is because of that. Our mansion has other plans. Jiang Gongzi's martial arts are outstanding, and our mansion admires him greatly. Presently the world situation has been settled, the Ming Dynasty and that Li Zicheng's fate has come to an end, the Qing troops entering the pass is a matter of time, our mansion is under the Prince Regent's banner. His Highness has a task for me. Before the Great Qing enters the pass, I will help him stabilize the Central Plains … "
Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly heard an extremely miserable cry coming from downstairs. It dragged on and seemed to be coming from an old woman. Did he have to listen to the waiter and the others? I just hope you won't tell me that you're not familiar with the waterway and lost your way? "
Boss Sha said, "If Brother Jiang doesn't believe me, there's nothing I can do. But since the box said it didn't look at it, it really didn't. Halfway through our journey, we remembered that some of our brethren were captured and fell into the hands of the officers and soldiers. If we abandoned them, our conscience would not be at ease, hence we turned around and came to Chang 'an to rescue them. As for the theft of the silver taels and the hostage last night, it was all a diversion to draw the attention of the authorities. "
Jiang Liechen mused, "These people are really slow-witted," he said, "I don't think they can fabricate such an excuse in such a short time. If they want to deceive me like this, they won't gain anything." With a gentle countenance he said, "If that's the case, you are a man who values friendship and loyalty. Let Zaixia apologize to you." "I don't dare," Boss Sha hastily said. Jiang Liechen turned around and sternly said, "In that case I'll make a deal with you. You release the Tang Yuancheng first, and then you leave the rescue of your brethren to me. After the matter is settled, you can give me the box. "Finished speaking, without waiting for Boss Sha's reply, he suddenly flashed and left the cellar. He really came and went like the wind, without leaving any trace.
