Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 674 How about we eat more?

Chang'an'Drunk East' has a lot of customers today, although this very famous restaurant in Chang'an is usually crowded.But today, not so much.

There are many people on weekdays, because this restaurant is five stories high, with a very imposing facade, a string of lanterns hangs from the roof to the first floor, red men and women stand upstairs overlooking the brightly lit night market, and are also watched by people downstairs.It’s kind of like people looking at the scenery upstairs looking at you, the bright moon decorates the windows, and you decorate other people’s dreams.

Therefore, this restaurant is a place where Chang'an Xungui's children often come.What's more, the boss also vowed that his restaurant once made Dongfang Shuo linger.

Later, the owner of the restaurant didn't mention Dongfang Shuo anymore.If it weren't for the fear of making a taboo, he would have wanted to change this restaurant into the 'Tianzi Building'.The reason for this was because his restaurant had served the current emperor.And although this restaurant has five floors, only four floors are actually open.Because the Ninth Five-Year Lord had been here before, the fifth floor of his restaurant was only open for one person.

"Your Majesty, did you really dine in this restaurant?" Zhen Mi was obviously curious about this, and asked Liu Xie after the food and drinks were served.

"Yes, but at that time it was with Yang Xiu... that is, the dandy son of the fourth generation and fourth prince of the Yang family. We talked about some things with Ma Chao, the current old soldier Zhonglang, in the hall at the bottom floor. Unexpectedly After I left, the owner of this restaurant somehow found out about my identity, so he built the fifth floor. He also said that this first floor only accommodates me, it’s all nonsense.”

At this time, Liu Xie sniffed at the table full of food, and when he waved his hand to let the female musicians who served silk and bamboo go back, he skillfully threw a piece of horseshoe gold as a reward.When he said this, he was already holding a fat goose paw in his hand, his mouth was full of oil and his speech was slurred.

"That is to say, His Majesty did come here before, but the fifth floor was built later?" Zhen Mi couldn't help seeing Liu Xie's appearance that was not at all the majesty of the emperor, and even more dandy than a dude. He laughed and said, "But then why did it spread everywhere that this Drunken East originally had five floors, and it was only after you came here that the fifth floor was closed?"

"That's because the owner of this restaurant specially donated a large amount of money and food to Jing Zhaoyin after he learned of the identity of the emperor. Jing Zhaoyin didn't dare to make decisions about this precedent, so he asked His Majesty on the table." Xu Huang was at that time He is already under Liu Xie, so he is naturally familiar with this matter.And because there was still some mystery in this matter, Liu Xie couldn't say it himself, so Xu Huang took the initiative to explain: "Your Majesty naturally nodded in agreement, so when it was passed on, it was spread beyond recognition."

"Isn't this matter exhaustive?" Zhen Mi smiled sweetly, tilted her head and continued to ask: "Why did the daughter of the people hear that His Majesty has personally said that the meals are served on the fifth floor?"

"Because Han Sui was going to be beaten at that time, His Majesty thought the boss was stingy and donated too little money and food, so he taught the boss such a trick. The emperor himself endorsed the advertisement, and since then, it has made this matter a Drunk Oriental Restaurant. The biggest gimmick. Although the fifth floor has never been open, the profit is at least three times higher than before!"

After saying this, Xu Huang leisurely put down the roast goose in his hand, his eyes suddenly turned cold and he said, "Your Majesty's business skills are no less than that of the white jade beauty of the Zhen family, right?"

Zhen Mi's face also turned cold, she really didn't expect her identity to be known.For the first time, he had a perceptual understanding of the abilities of the Jinyiwei of the Han Dynasty.

However, she deliberately caused a dispute in the busy market today because she had seen Liu Xie's figure a long time ago.Therefore, although Zhen Mi was surprised by Xu Huang revealing her identity at this time, she definitely would not have no countermeasures.Therefore, after being slightly startled, Zhen Mi resumed her smiling expression, and replied, "General Xu really has eyes."

"His eyes are not really counted. It's just that I can't figure out why you, the leading merchant in Hebei, deliberately attract the attention of the emperor today." Xu Huang's scrutinizing eyes wandered around Zhen Mi, without the greed of a man, but on the contrary. Full of caution: "Also, do you still want to let a girl like you who is supposed to stay at home come here?"

"Because the girl's cardamom years are just the age to admire the heroes of the world. The most romantic person in the world today is none other than Your Majesty, and the little girl is thin and wise, so she naturally wants to coax the emperor to show up to quench the thirst of Yunsi." Zhen Mi She smiled so cleverly at what she said, anyone with a discerning eye could see that what she said was a lie.

But the problem is that Xu Huang's tiger's body shook and did not frighten Zhen Mi at all. At this time, Zhen Mi gave such a false reason again.But Xu Huang didn't know what to say, so he could only follow Zhen Mi's words and ask: "So, you came to Chang'an to ask His Majesty to treat you to a meal?"

"Since that's the case, could it be that General Xu still thinks that the girl is harboring some huge conspiracy to assassinate His Majesty?" Zhen Mi asked again, this sentence made Xu Huang's worries come out, making Xu Huang even more speechless Word.

At this time, Liu Xie, who had been watching the two of them quarreling silently, finally shook his head helplessly when he saw Xu Huang returning home.Turning to the resolute and handsome young man beside him, he said, "Zilong, in your opinion, what is the purpose of Miss Zhen's seeking me?"

When Xu Huang and Zhen Mi were bickering just now, Zhao Yun had been watching Zhen Mi quietly from the sidelines. His gaze was not sharp, but there was a hint of wisdom in his gentleness.He could already see that Zhen Mi was an extremely difficult and ever-changing shrewd girl, hearing Liu Xie's inquiry at this time, he hesitated for a while and said: "I can't guess, but it must be related to the Yuan family. "

"Oh?" Liu Xie and Zhen Mi spoke for a while, and after smiling at each other, Liu Xie continued to ask: "Why is Zilong so determined?"

"Although the last general has been away from Youzhou for a long time, he heard about the wealth of the Zhen family when he was in Youzhou. This time Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zan, and his financial resources were exhausted, so he already had the intention of marrying the Zhen family. But these rumors have suddenly disappeared recently. However, Miss Zhen's family is currently in Chang'an. If the general dares to guess, it should be that the Zhen family is unwilling to pay for Yuan Shao's military arrogance, so Chang'an is here to seek His Majesty's help."

Zhao Yun's words were well-founded, and he also clarified another meaning very cryptically: the Zhen family was most likely manipulated by Yuan Shao to come to Chang'an to find out the truth.After all, everyone present here knows that in such an era, no matter how big a businessman can compete with Hebei No. 1.If Zhen Mi didn't sneak out of Jizhou, then she should belong to the second situation.

After saying these words, even Zhen Mi couldn't help but want to clap her hands in admiration.Naturally, Liu Xie glanced at Zhao Yun with admiration. He had more information than both Xu Huang and Zhao Yun, so he could guess Zhen Mi's intentions more deeply.But only based on the known information, Zhao Yun guessed Zhen Mi's intentions, which already belonged to the category of Confucian generals.

Therefore, Liu Xie proudly spread his hands and said to Zhen Mi: "Miss Zhen, my confidant and beloved general should have already told the reason for coming, right? If you have anything to say, please be concise, you know , I am very busy."

For this kind of negotiation, Liu Xie is really not in a hurry.His identity determines his initiative, because the Zhen family took the initiative to find him in the Han family, so he has the choice of agreeing or refusing.Therefore, the more calm you are at this time, the more you can understand Zhen Mi's hole cards as much as possible.

After all, there is a saying that goes well: Too much talk is too much.

As long as Zhen Mi speaks, even if it is a reason she herself believes, it may be confused by the other party's noncommittal, resulting in conflicts between words.As long as Liu Xie grasps that point, he will know what he can and cannot believe.

Sure enough, Zhen Mi's subsequent reaction was exactly as Liu Xie expected.Seeing Liu Xie's appearance of being determined by herself, she had no choice but to say, "What General Zhao said is true. Although our Zhen family is very rich, we don't want to be the toilet of one of the princes. What's more The main thing is that the sons of the Yuan family are weak and cowardly by nature, and it is difficult for them to take up important positions. Even if a commoner girl marries into the Yuan family, it may be difficult for the Zhen family to seek benefits in the future. What's more, the Yuan family is not the only one in the world who can rely on them. How can a girl be willing to follow the crowd and end up like a rebellious minister and gangster in the end?"

"Well, it's very reasonable and reasonable." Liu Xie clapped his hands, but the smile on his face was obviously a little mocking: "Unfortunately, it's so uninspiring that people have to doubt his intentions. What's more, Zhen My family in Jizhou is just a merchant, and I don't want to make a big fight with Yuan Shao at the moment, so let's just treat it as a happy encounter today."

Liu Xie stood up, showing no signs of nostalgia.At this moment, he sincerely thanked Fu Shou for making him immune to beautiful women, otherwise he would never be so decisive at this moment.

However, acting is acting after all, so when Liu Xie got up, he just stood up and didn't move.And at this moment, Zhen Mi also bit her lips, as if she had made a lot of determination, she opened her mouth at the right time: "If so, the Zhen family can give Bingzhou and Yizhou both hands as a gift. I wonder if Your Majesty has time to spend this meal with the girls." Food?"

Liu Xie smiled instantly, turned around and asked Xu Huang and Zhao Yun, "Then let's eat some more? Presumably, the owner of this restaurant won't take money..."
