Li Xiao's invitation to eat seafood was indeed true. The table was filled with seafood. From crabs to shrimps to two-foot-long fish. Anyway, they were all caught from the sea, and there was nothing growing on the ground.

There is nothing we can do about this. Everything on the ground is valuable. In the food menu of the Liao army, pork has become the most precious thing. It is difficult to eat during the New Year and the holidays. You can only eat mutton in a month or two. There is no way.

, the food is really not enough to eat. It is good if people can eat enough. After the rice bowl is clean, there is nothing for the pigs to eat.

Xu Xianchun was very satisfied with the food. He came from the capital. It is difficult to eat such fresh seafood on weekdays. If you want to eat seafood in the capital, the nearest place is Tianjin Wei. On weekdays, he only wants to dominate in the capital. How can he do it?

Time to go to Tianjin Wei to eat seafood.

The giant flying crab is at its most plump in October. When you open the lid, you will find the inside is full of orange paste. It is soft and yet hard in your mouth, and the taste can make you swallow your tongue.

Li Xiao was surprised. As a senior official of Jinyiwei, Xu Xianchun didn't know how to pick off Pipi shrimps. All the one-foot-long Pipi shrimps were female. There were three obvious white lines in the first few verses. Xu Xianchun didn't know

How to eat this thing? I'm embarrassed to ask, but this guy also knows how to twist his head.

After twisting the head off, he took the skin of the shrimp and bit it into pieces one by one. He probably couldn't chew the skin, so he had no choice but to spit it out. Li Xiao looked at him expectantly, how would he eat the tail? What if?

If you bite hard, your mouth will probably be pierced and broken.

There are always good people, Ai Hu gave a look. Immediately, a boy came up and helped Mr. Xu peel off the shrimp. The armor-like hard shell was opened section by section, revealing the white, tender and delicate meat inside.

"Brother Xu, let's get drunk today. Let's do it!" Li Xiao picked up the wine glass and spoke very boldly.

"Haha! I know you are loyal, brother, and gave me this face. I didn't say anything, just do it!" Xu Xianchun was more heroic than Li Xiao, so he raised Wuliangye and drank it.

"What kind of cup is this? It's not for drinking. Come on, bring me a bigger cup." Li Xiao, obviously drunk, ordered. Ai Husheng immediately asked someone to change the two-cent cup to two and a half.

big cup.

"Brother, be happy, this is what we buddies drink with." Xu Xianchun was very happy, holding the Pippi shrimp in one hand and munching on it.

"Master Xu, you have met the villain Ai Husheng in the capital. Originally, there was no chance for the villain to speak today. But in the capital, you saved the villain from the beggar gang. This life-saving grace will never be forgotten by the villain.

.You are an adult, but you are a small person and have nothing to offer. I only offer this glass of water and wine to you. Please give me some face!"

As soon as he changed into a large cup, Ai Husheng poured himself a cup of Wuliangye. He brought it to Xu Xianchun and bowed very humbly.

"Manager Ai, you're welcome. You are my brother's. Do you think I can stand by and watch when something goes wrong? Damn it!" Xu Xianchun saw that it was Ai Husheng, so he had to give him face.

Even though Xu Xianchun didn't even get a seat today, Xu Xianchun knew that this Master Ai was the God of Wealth in Li Xiao's army, and he was in charge of everything related to property. On weekdays, he often hangs out at Ai Husheng's front door.

, I have to give you this face no matter what you say.

After drinking half a glass of wine, Xu Xianchun's face immediately turned as red as the shrimps on the table.

The waiter was also a wonderful person. He helped Xu Xianchun open a huge flying crab. He scooped out a large spoonful of the paste with a spoon and put it on Xu Xianchun's plate. Then, he helped Xu Xianchun fill up the wine without leaving any trace.

"Brother, you don't know. The death of the late emperor was too sudden this time. A Taoist named Chen Xuanfeng came from Longhu Mountain. This Taoist priest had a deep background. I heard that Wang Tigan recommended him to the late emperor. When the late emperor passed away, It has a lot to do with this Taoist priest Chen Xuanfeng.

Commander Tian is ordering Tiqi to arrest this Chen Xuanfeng. Guess what. The Taoist priest has disappeared. He is neither alive nor dead. He can't be found despite the ability of the Jinyi Guards. You think this is mysterious!" Jiu Jin'er came up, Xu Xianchun talked a lot.

Regardless of whether there is anyone around or not, he started telling the secrets about Beijing.

Li Xiao didn't know about Chen Xuanfeng. It was rare that Xu Xianchun drank too much. He pricked up his ears and listened!

"That's not all, Jin Yiwei's hidden clues have also been found. This Chen Xuanfeng once had contact with King Xin, and what's going on here...! Hmm...!" Xu Xianchun raised his eyebrows at Li Xiao.

Li Xiao, Sun Chengzong, and Mao Wenlong were all good listeners. They all looked at Xu Xianchun with expressions of curiosity and admiration.

"There is such a thing!" Li Xiao said in surprise while picking up the wine glass.

Xu Xianchun took a big sip, and Li Xiao, Sun Chengzong, and Mao Wenlong all took a sip. This kind of banquet where you talk and drink at the same time doesn't even require you to drink.

"That's not all, the damn old guy Wang Tigan is actually a brother of Wang Cheng'en. This was only discovered by Dongchang's spy in the palace. It's so stupid that it was hidden so deeply that even our Jin Yiwei didn't know it. I know." Xu Xianchun didn't need to persuade him, he picked up the glass and drank all the wine in the glass. The boy immediately filled it up again!

"I……!"

"A few adults were drinking here, and they invited Zu Dashou to toast." Xu Xianchun was about to speak, but suddenly Zu Dashou's voice sounded at the door. Then the door opened, and Zu Dashou walked in.

"Master Xu may not recognize him, but this is Zu Dashou, the commander-in-chief of Zu. He was the one who fought the hardest in Jinzhou last year. He is a good man who defeated the Tatars!" Seeing Zu Dashou come in, Li Xiao immediately stood up and introduced Xu Xianchun.

"It turns out to be Commander-in-Chief Zu. Disrespect! Disrespect!" Since he was Li Xiao's subordinate, Xu Xianchun still wanted to save face. He stood up and raised his hands to Zu Dashou.

"I was eating here with my brother Wu Xiang and my nephew. When I heard Master Xu was coming, I came here to propose a glass of water and wine." Zu Dashou stretched out his hand, and the boy behind him immediately handed over a glass of wine. Wu Xiang behind him also took a glass!

"Haha! It's rare to have a drink with the hero who defeated the Tatars. Mr. Zu, Mr. Wu, please!" Xu Xianchun picked up the wine glass, clinked it with Wu Xiang and Zu Dashou, and then drank it all.

Just as he put down his wine glass, Wu Sangui bowed with the wine glass in hand. "My dear Wu Sangui, Zu Dashou is my uncle and Wu Xiang is my father. I know that I am not qualified to honor Master Xu's wine, but my admiration for Master Xu makes me stand up." .I drank this glass of wine. Just touch your lips as you like!"

Wu Sangui was polite when he spoke, but not polite when drinking. A glass of Wuliangye was poured into his mouth with a "glop" sound, and his fair face immediately turned as red as a monkey's butt.

"What a boy, so courageous! It turns out that the tiger father has no son. Xu drank this glass of wine. Follow your father and work hard and kill more Tatars. Haha!" Xu Xianchun has drunk almost a kilogram of wine, and now he is getting drunker. , almost to the point where the wine has been drained.

"Thank you, Mr. Xu, for giving me this face. We have guests over there, and Mr. Xu has invited us. If Mr. Xu is free, I will host someone from my ancestors tomorrow." Zu Dashou hurriedly clasped his fists and thanked Xu Xianchun for giving him this face.

"I still have business to do tomorrow, so I will definitely disturb General Zu when I have time the next day."

"That's it! Farewell!" Zu Dashou clasped his fists and left with Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui.

"General Zu is indeed an upright person." They left, and Li Xiao pulled Xu Xianchun to sit down again. Xu Xianchun kept praising Zu for his longevity.

"What's the situation in the capital now?" After sitting down, Li Xiao saw that Xu Xianchun had drunk too much, so he took the opportunity to ask.

"There is some chaos in the capital now, and many courtiers are watching. The three major battalions are somewhat disobedient, and the imperial army is also somewhat disobedient. You know about the big explosion in the capital!"

"You know, the big explosion of the apocalypse!"

"What happened that time was that the Three Battalions secretly sold gunpowder. The beggars helped those bastards buy gunpowder and build firecrackers at the overpass, but they failed to explode.

That time, the officers of the three major battalions were bloodbathed. Many people were stuffed in without knowing who they were. The same was true for the Imperial Army. Let me tell you something. Mr. Tian told me that Cui Chengxiu is not reliable." Xu.

She was innocent because she had drunk too much. When she was sober, she wouldn't say a word to others.

"Cui Bingbu? Master Cui?"

"That's him! Think about it, he is the Minister of the Ministry of War. How can we deploy people to the third camp without his nod? Our Jinyiwei hidden stake discovered that Cui Chengxiu and Qian...wow...!" Xu Xianchun said the key point

There, a lot of vomit suddenly spewed out.

Fortunately, Li Xiao had quick hands and eyes and was not sprayed on him.

Xu Xianchun fell down softly, and the two boys around him quickly picked him up with quick eyes. This prevented him from sitting in the vomit!

It's over! I really drank too much, so you should tell me what the money is called. I'm so upset now, but I can't ask yet.

"Master Xu has drunk too much. Help Master Xu go down. Let his entourage take good care of him, and no one is allowed to see him in private." Sun Chengzong ordered in a dark voice, and the boys immediately helped Xu Xianchun out. There were boys already there.

Go out and tell Xu Xianchun's men who are having dinner in another room.

"Cui Chengxiu and money? Could it be that Cui Chengxiu was bribed?" Xu Xianchun drank too much, but Li Xiao, Mao Wenlong, and Sun Chengzong did not drink too much.

"Cui Chengxiu loves money, so it's not surprising that he was bribed." Mao Wenlong saw a puddle of vomit on the ground and quickly covered his nose.

"This meal was not in vain. Not only did I get a lot of information, but I also got five hundred thousand taels of silver!" Sun Chengzong stood up with his sleeves rolled up, smiling like a fox that had eaten a fat chicken.

"Fifty thousand taels, damn it. There is news from Jiangnan that the rice merchants in Jiangnan have increased their prices. The price of rice in Jiangnan has increased by 30% this year. What the hell are these five hundred thousand taels for? I have

There are hundreds of thousands of mouths to feed, how can we fill their bellies without food?"

Li Xiao glanced at the brown paper envelope in his hand and said a little irritably.

"Hey...! Just grit your teeth and survive next year. Now let Mangui take people to Jizhou to get the money back. Let's go to Wang Chengen's place to see what benefits we can get." Sun Chengzong clasped his hands behind his back and took the lead to leave.

Got out.

Li Xiao handed the bill of lading for the money to Ai Husheng: "As Mr. Sun said, let Man Gui go pick up the money." After saying that, he followed Sun Chengzong and walked out.

"These two guys are eating their own way. Everyone in the capital is going crazy. Doing business with these two foxes, an old one and a small one, and they still want to take advantage of it?" Mao Wenlong muttered and followed suit.

Got out.
