After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 34 The Son of Zhuanzhu
When you reach Taihu Lake, you are not far from Gusu.

Taihu Lake stretches as far as the eye can see, with vast mist and waves. There is a bamboo house by the lake, and a few small boats in front of the house are tied to the shore and rise and fall with the waves.

"My lord, it's a wine shop."

The restaurant is not big, but it is very lively. After being introduced by the enthusiastic owner, I found out that this place is good at grilling fish, and it is freshly caught in the grilling lake. The taste is extremely delicious, so guests often come here admiringly.

"The grilled fish here is made of wood fire, and we pay attention to slow work and meticulous work, so that the oil comes out, the taste is in, the skin is burnt, and the inside is tender." The owner of the shop pretended to be mysterious and said: "Zhuan Zhu was I learned the technique of searing fish here."

"Really?" Everyone couldn't help laughing, the story of Zhuan Zhu's assassination of King Liao of Wu is well known in the world, how could Meng Di and others have not heard of it along the way.

Back then Wu Zixu knew that Prince Guang, who is now King Helu of Wu, wanted to assassinate King Liao of Wu, so he recommended his friend Zhuanzhu.

Knowing that King Liao of Wu liked grilled fish, Zhuan Zhu went to Taihu Lake to learn how to cook fish. He learned the skill of searing fish. He hid the fish intestine sword in the belly of the fish while Prince Guang was entertaining him, and successfully assassinated King Liao of Wu.

After Prince Guang established himself as the king of the country, not only did he not conceal this matter, but he publicized it to everyone in the world. Along with Zhuanzhu, he became famous for his skill of searing fish.

Along the way, I don't know how many times I heard the same rhetoric, let alone listen to it, Meng Di smiled.

The fish is really good, and the lake and mountains outside the window are also very unique. A group of people sat on the ground and enjoyed it.

"Hehe, the business is good." The curtain was lifted, and a group of people burst into the room.

In the first place, there was a person in gorgeous clothes, holding a delicate bow, and everyone in the room stood up and saluted.

The man turned his eyes and saw Meng Di and the others sitting by the window, his expression darkened.

The owner of the wine shop was crying bitterly, and said with a crying face: "Young Master Yi has not come for a while, and I forgot to reserve this seat by the window for a while, please forgive me, Young Master."

"Presumptuous, you dare to neglect the position of Mr. Yi, you don't want to live anymore?" The entourage was eager to take down the owner of the restaurant, but was stopped by the man's eyes.

"It used to be the place where my father learned art, so don't be rude." The man raised his jaw, "Go, ask about the origin."

Before the entourage came forward, the owner of the wine shop had already saluted Meng Di non-stop, "Whether the guests can give up their seats is the villain's fault, I hope you will forgive me."

The title of Young Master is not just called casually, although the etiquette is broken at this time, but whoever dares to be called Young Master, if not the son of a prince, is a powerful person.

Meng Di asked slowly: "Who is this Mr. Yi?"

"It is the son of Zhuanzhu adults, Mr. Zhuanyi. Guests, get up quickly, it will be terrible to annoy you." The owner of the wine shop is still bowing, if it is not that Mengdi and his party are not like ordinary people, they have already stretched out their hands to pull.

"Since he is the son of Zhuan Zhu adults, it doesn't matter if he gives up his seat." Meng Di is not a brave and aggressive person, so he has almost eaten enough, so he got up and hurried on his way.

"Wait a minute, this young lady stays to drink with the young master." The attendant was already impatient to wait, and was used to running amok, seeing Su'er's beautiful face, he stretched out his hand to stop her.

"To the extreme, to the extreme, drink to make amends." Everyone agreed.

The owner of the restaurant saw that there was another incident, so he hurried up to plead for mercy. After all, all the guests came, and if something happened, it would ruin his reputation if it spread.

Seeing Zhuo Yi, the followers didn't make a sound, knowing that they guessed the master's intention correctly, they all surrounded him.

Meng Di spoke slowly: "Mr. Yi is not afraid of tarnishing Master Zhuan Zhuan's reputation by doing so?"

"As a foreigner, you dare to mention your father's name?" Zhuo Yi has been in a bad mood for the past few days, going out of the city to relax, and he feels that he is very restrained, but there are people who are always ignorant.

"My lord, why are you telling him so much? Chop it up and feed it to the fish in the lake!" The follower drew out his weapon and shouted.

"Chop it up! Chop it up!" The followers were all happy. They have been disciplined like a tortoise recently, and they can't hold it anymore.

The owner of the restaurant was horrified, it was over, and someone was about to die!Didn't it mean that there have been drastic changes in the city recently, Mr. Yi is hiding in the mansion to recuperate, why is it the rhythm of making troubles when he comes out?
At the same time, he signaled the servant to go and invite Lord Taihu. Lord Taihu was the one who taught Zhuan Zhu how to cook fish, but now that the old man is at home, he might not be able to make it in time.At the same time, he used his eyes to persuade Meng Di to bow his head and make amends, why not leave a maid, it is better than losing his life.

Meng Di smiled coldly, and took the time to sit down again, Su'er always looked like she had nothing to do with her.The two cavalrymen, one named Xiang Lie and the other named Chen Li, both followed Meng Di to see the world, and they didn't take this small scene seriously.

In this way, Zhuo Yi became a little puzzled, so calm, could there be some reason for it?
An old man who looked like a butler leaned into his ear and whispered: "My lord, don't be reckless, don't forget that we came out to take refuge."

That's right, I almost forgot the business, "cough cough" Zhuo Yi gave his subordinates a hard look, cleared his throat and said, "Well, my son has always been benevolent and righteous, so naturally we can't do things like taking women from the people."

The owner of the restaurant secretly slandered, can't do it?Did you do less before?

"We Wu people are the most generous and hospitable. Just now, the servants were just joking with you, weren't they?"

"Yes, yes, just kidding, just kidding." The attendant didn't know why the master suddenly changed his temper, so he had to agree.

Meng Di didn't care, he waved his hand and said: "Okay, the joke is over, since you are so hospitable, why don't you settle the bill for us."

What!Zhuan Yi's face turned green, and he held back forcibly, put on a pose that he thought was very aristocratic, and said with a smile: "There is no problem with paying the bill, but our country of Wu has a rule."

"What rules?"

"Gambling fight!"

"Gamble?"

"Yes, let's compete in swordsmanship. Let's set our own prizes."

"My lord is not lying to us, Mr. Zhuan Zhu is a famous assassin in the world, and there are many masters under his sect, how can we compare?"

"Absolutely not, this is the etiquette of the nobles." Those who watched the excitement shouted one after another.

Zhuo Yi looked smug, the housekeeper's idea is good, he can bully people openly.

"It must be a swordsmanship competition?" Meng Di looked a little guilty, "What is the prize?"

"Just take your maid as the lottery."

"What if we win?"

"Win? Hahaha." Everyone laughed. What kind of knowledge can a foreigner still want to win.

"If you win, all the property outside will be yours." Said decisively and generously.

"Young Master, don't do it!" The housekeeper turned pale with shock, he came out in a hurry this time, if he loses, what will a large group of people do for a living?
The spectators nearby also commented that it would be a big loss to exchange a cart of property for a maid.

"It's okay, the butler forgot the swordsman who just threw him under the door? Go outside and call him in." Zhuo Yi waved his hand disapprovingly.

The housekeeper slapped his head, he was getting old, and almost forgot that there was a swordsman from the Qi country outside, who came to seek refuge in the name of admiring Zhuanzhu.This person is withdrawn and does not fit in with others, and he is still sitting quietly in the carriage at this time, but his swordsmanship is superb, and there is almost no enemy in the house.

Since there is such a person, the bet is very sure, so he felt relieved and hurriedly went out to invite him.

Zhuo Yi was very happy, pretending to be generous and said: "I don't know who of you will fight?"

Meng Di seemed to feel helpless, hesitated for a moment, and said weakly: "Since the maid provoked it, let her do it."
