I have just been promoted to Qianhu, and I was shocked to hear that this is a Liaozhai!

Chapter 109: Drinking (please subscribe)

In the room, Zuo Dao looked at the secret letter in his hand with a strange expression, somewhat puzzled by its meaning.

However, the secret letter not only asked him to return to Kyoto, but also asked him to hand over the Demon Suppression Division in his hands to the new commander Zhao Lin.

In other words, he had been working for that guy in vain for so long since he had been in Youzhou.

Unexpectedly, someone actually came to Youzhou, a place where birds don't poop, to pick his peaches.

Zuo Dao frowned, put away the secret message in his hand, then stood up and came outside the room.

Zhang Long and Zhao Hu stood guard outside the door.

From the day Zuodao came back, the two of them no longer needed to guard the gate of the Demon Suppression Department. They simply guarded the door of Zuodao's room to prevent Xiaoxiao from approaching.

When Zhang Long and Zhao Hu saw Zuo Dao come out, they both looked at the latter with bright eyes.

They had just seen a letter falcon flying into their master's residence.

Zuo Dao glanced at the two of them and said, "The people in Kyoto want to transfer me to the capital."

When Zhang Long heard this, he immediately said with surprise: "If you are transferred to Beijing, you can leave this place where no one can shit. Your Excellency, you are going to be promoted."

They all know very well that the officials in Kyoto are different from those in other places.

At the same level, officials from Kyoto will always dominate those from other places. This is the honor bestowed upon them by the emperor.

Zuo Dao nodded slightly and said: "Perhaps it can be regarded as a high promotion."

Zhao Hu didn't think too much and congratulated directly: "I am here to congratulate you, sir. I am transferred to Beijing on a regular basis, and you can go back to Kyoto to enjoy the blessings."

Just then, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.

I saw Zhao Lin, the commander, leading the men he brought from Kyoto to the gate of Zuodao.

Looking at the three Zuo Dao people in the courtyard, he said with a smile: "Master Zuo must already know about the transfer order in Kyoto. I wonder when Master Zuo wants to set off?"

"I might as well make some preparations in advance so that I can set up a farewell banquet for Mr. Zuo."

Hearing this, Zuo Dao smiled and said: "There is no need to worry. The commander-in-chief did not say in the secret letter when he wanted me to enter the capital, so this matter is not urgent for the time being. Don't worry, Lord Qianshi."

When Zhao Lin heard this, he immediately frowned and said, "The Commander-in-Chief has asked you to enter the capital. How dare you delay and neglect me?"

Zuo Dao shook his head and said: "Of course I dare not disobey the orders of the Commander-in-Chief, but he did not say when he wanted me to enter the capital."

"If I want to, I can do it tomorrow. If I don't want to, what if it takes ten days and a half, or even more than half a year?"

Zhao Lin looked a little ugly and said: "What you said is disrespectful to the commander of the capital. You are not afraid that I will write it down in the Book of Impermanence and have Xin Falcon hand it over when the time comes."

Zuo Dao said with a smile: "I also have the Book of Impermanence. Do you think the commander will trust you, the commander who was overshadowed by his elders, or me, the governor who has shed blood for the Wei Dynasty and has been loyal to the Wei Dynasty?" make."

Zhao Lin pointed at Zuodao and said in a trembling voice: "You..."

Zuo Dao stepped forward, pressed down Zhao Lin's hand, and said: "Master Qianshi, don't be angry, as anger will harm your body."

Hearing this, Zhao Lin glanced at Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and others, and said coldly: "You have to leave sooner or later, there will always be a time when you are not around, right?"

Although he couldn't do anything to the red man in front of the capital commander.

But after this person left, none of the imperial guards he brought from Kyoto could escape.

Hearing this, Zuo Dao smiled and said, "That's natural. After all, from now on, this Demon Suppressing Division will be the domain of adults."

"But the commander-in-chief said in the secret letter that everyone I brought can return to the capital."

"His old man wants to arrange a new job for me somewhere else, and he is worried that I have no one under his command!"

"I'm so grateful for this humble position. It's such an honor." Upon hearing this, Zhao Lin's face turned blue and red, and he walked away directly.

Zuo Dao said with his hands behind his back: "A loser who is nearly 50 years old and has just stepped into the role of a junior master dares to fight with me."

Behind him, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu said with joyful expressions: "Sir, you just said that we can all return to Beijing?"

Zuo Dao nodded slightly and said: "The commander-in-chief didn't say it clearly, but I can still take you back."

Hearing Zuo Dao speak, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu immediately held up their hands and said: "I am willing to do my best to you."

Zuo Dao waved his hand and said: "Go and gather all the brothers from the past and tell them about this matter. If anyone wants to go back, I will take them with me when I go back."

"If anyone doesn't want to go back, then I wish them a bright future in Youzhou."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu immediately saluted and said, "Yes, sir."

Zuo Dao waved his hand and asked Zhang Long and Zhao Hu to leave.

And he walked towards the place where Zhao Tong was.

As soon as Zuo Dao arrived outside Zhao Tong's courtyard, he saw the courtyard door open. Zhao Tong said with a smile: "Congratulations, sir, congratulations, sir, for being able to return to Kyoto."

Hearing this, Zuo Dao had a look of surprise on his face and said, "You know."

Zhao Tong smiled and said: "I, the Master of the Hermitage Mansion, and the Commander-in-Chief are united. If you Jin Yiwei know some news, we will naturally know it too."

He glanced at Zuo Dao and said, "My lord is looking for me tonight. Could it be that you can't wait to return to Kyoto?"

Zuo Dao shook his head and said: "There is no rush to return to Kyoto for now."

He looked at Zhao Tong and said with a smile: "I came to see you tonight just because I want to have a drink with Brother Zhao."

"Speaking of which, since Brother Zhao came to Youzhou, I haven't even had time to drink. I happened to have the opportunity tonight, so I came here."

After he finished speaking, a jar of aged wine suddenly appeared in his hand.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Tong looked at Zuo Dao with some suspicion.

Judging from his experience of working with Zuo Dao for such a long time, the latter's visit to him during this trip was not just about drinking.

Zhao Tong said: "That's fine, Mr. Zuo, please come with me."

With that said, he took Zuo Dao to the stone chair in the courtyard and sat down.

Zuo Dao raised his hand and waved, and the stone table was filled with wine and food. The wine and food were still warm and the aroma was overflowing.

Zhao Tong took out a few glasses, opened the drinks, and poured drinks for the two of them.

Zuo Dao raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp, saying, "I'll do it first as a token of respect."

Zhao Tong's eyes widened, and then he also raised his glass and drank it in one gulp, and then added another drink.

Then he asked: "What do you want to ask, sir? Why are you beating around the bush like this?"

Zuo Dao smiled and said, "The one who knows me is Brother Zhao."

He pondered for a moment, and then asked: "When Brother Zhao came out of the Hermitage in Kyoto, was there any movement in the court?"

Zhao Tong heard this and said, "It's just that the emperor doesn't go to court and enjoys himself in the Buddhist hall all day long. No matter how much the adults say, he remains unmoved."

Zuo Dao narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "What about Master Imperial Master, Pudu Cihang?"
