"Cough, cough, cough!" Li Li coughed twice, and said to Ma Yunluo: "Yunluo, don't be rude, you go back to the inn and tidy up a guest room, Fengxiao will stay next door to me tonight."

"Hmph!" After hearing the words, Ma Yunluo got up immediately after seeing Li Li's unquestionable eyes, glared at Guo Jia angrily, then threw her sleeves and left.

Guo Jia watched Ma Yunluo walk away with a very innocent expression, then turned to Li Li and said, "Brother Wenchang, did this,,,,,,, brother just say something wrong?"

"It's very common for women to be moody, Feng Xiao doesn't have to worry about it." Li Li said calmly, and then said: "It's getting late, Feng Xiao will stay in the inn tonight, I have arranged for Yun Luo to come Go get ready. Tonight, the three of us will drink to our heart's content here, until we get drunk!"

Chapter 416 Singing the wind and playing the moon, fellow-men

"Uh, isn't that bad?"

After a little hesitation on Guo Jia's face, he said very sincerely: "There are two attendants on this trip, and they are in the lobby downstairs at the moment. In addition, there are some luggage and three horses. If you have to bother Brother Wenchang, I really feel sorry for you. I'm sorry, so I won't bother my dear friend."

"Don't bother, don't bother. Feng Xiao and I hit it off at first sight. We must have a good talk tonight. Wouldn't it be more convenient to live together!" While talking, Li Li moved closer to Guo Jia's side. When he got up, he waved his hand Signal Li Xuan to serve the wine.

Li Xuan immediately took out a small altar of sealed fine wine from the bag next to him, uncovered the red silk, and filled the wine cups on the table one by one.

"Huh! This wine is really fragrant. It doesn't seem to be fine wine from the states in the Central Plains, but a century-old Jiuquan wine from Jiuquan County in Yongzhou last autumn!" source.

Li Li laughed and said: "Feng Xiao is worthy of being a wine-loving person. You can know the place where the wine is produced just by smelling the aroma. Tonight, I will entertain Feng Xiao with a jar of fine wine from the spring of Jiuquan! If it weren't for what you said just now, my cousin and I The two brothers, as well as the clansmen in the inn, still couldn't see Li Li's true face. Originally, they planned to join him, but after hearing Feng Xiao's words, they were enlightened like enlightenment; if they went to join Li Li, That's what you entrusted to inhumanity, and I regret it for the rest of my life!"

"Okay, brother Wenchang is kind enough to invite me, but my younger brother is not respectful!" Hearing Li Li's words, Guo Jia readily agreed, and then said: "But I don't agree with what brother Wenchang said just now. Although Li Li in Xiliang is acting Treacherous, and facing hidden dangers in the court, but he is still a hero in the world, at least he is currently the most powerful overlord among the world's princes. What's more, today's son is young, and it will take at least two or three years to grow up Time. And no one can predict where the general trend of the world will go in two or three years. Therefore, although there are hidden dangers in Xiliang, it will be calm in the short term and there will be no turbulence. After two years, will Li Li It is still unknown to take new measures!"

"Hehehe!" Li Li said with a laugh: "Feng Xiao's conversation is extraordinary, he has seen people, and his discussion of Li Li in Xiliang is even more penetrating. I really admire it! It's just that I don't understand one thing. Feng Xiao is People from Yingchuan, why did Jizhou appear? Could it be that Feng Xiao is like me, coming to visit for a while?” After speaking, Li Li raised his wine cup to signal Guo Jia to drink with him.

Guo Jia couldn't bear the rich aroma of Jiuquan fine wine for a long time, and immediately drank it down: "Good wine. The century-old Jiuquan wine deserves its name!"

After a short pause, Guo Jia sighed and said, "Hey, I'm not afraid of brother Wenchang's jokes. I just came out of Yuan Shao's army, and this time I'm going back to Yingchuan's home to study behind closed doors!"

"Oh?" Li Li let out a look of astonishment, and asked, "Since Feng Xiao worked under Yuan Shao's command before, why did he leave? Could it be that Yuan Shao didn't know Feng Xiao's talent and wronged my virtuous brother?"

Guo Jia shook his head and said, "In June last year, Yuan Shao led the army to suppress the Heishan bandits. After more than a month of fighting, he finally wiped out tens of thousands of Yellow Turban bandits under the Heishan Yudao Division. However, he did not continue to expand the results of the battle, but saw good things. Just take it. Withdraw the troops and return to Yecheng; this will leave a breathing space for the Heishan bandits, and the disaster will be endless. Just a month ago, he led the troops to Changshan again to wipe out the Heishan Zhang Yan's troops. To no avail, the battle is now in a stalemate.

Last year I advised him to exterminate the bandits in Heishan with all his might. At that time, he fully agreed, but then he ignored it and turned a deaf ear to it.This year we will fight against the Heishan bandits again, and I advised him not to lead the troops in person, but to follow the example of Xiliang Li Li in consolidating the Xiliang border. Sending a general to lead the troops is enough to deter Heishan Xiaoxiao so that he does not dare to invade .In the end, he still refused to listen, and insisted on mobilizing troops to lead the troops. Now that the battle is at a stalemate, I advised him to make peace with Zhang Yan, the leader of the Black Mountain bandit, or send envoys to surrender; I.I really can't bear to be humiliated by such a stupid person, so I resigned and left, and returned to my hometown in Yingchuan to study, and I will choose a master in the future! "

After finishing speaking, Guo Jia picked up a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp, and then drank for himself.After drinking a few glasses of wine, there was still an expression of discontent on his face, and his eyes were a little confused, as if he was very worried about his future and future, and he didn't know what to do.

"I heard that most of the famous people from the Yingchuan clan went to Yanzhou to join Cao Cao. I don't know why Fengxiao didn't go there?" Li Li asked softly after drinking a glass of wine with Guo Jia again.

Guo Jia's expression moved slightly, and then he said sadly: "When the Yellow Turban was in turmoil in the early years, most of the Yingchuan clan had received Cao Cao's favor, so they had a good impression of him and were willing to join him. And because Cao Cao was also from a powerful family, representing the clan Therefore, the children of the Yingchuan clan chose to join Yuan Shao and Cao Cao one after another. Among them, the Xun family split into two groups and bet on both ends, for fear of damaging the interests of the family. I, Guo Jia, are different from them. Although we are classmates and friends, we have a good family Luo, who came from a humble family background, and had never been favored by Cao Cao. The reason why I defected to Yuan Shao before was because my elder brother Guo Tu insisted on recommending him. It is four generations and three princes, but it has a false name, and it is not enough to achieve great things."

Perhaps because of his melancholy mood and drinking a lot of wine, Guo Jia seemed quite conceited when talking about his own abilities.

Li Li nodded slightly, and accompanied Guo Jia to drink one by one, during which he motioned for Li Xuan to leave first, and settle down the two attendants of Guo Jia downstairs.

"Feng Xiao resigned this time and went home. I'm afraid it's not appropriate. Now that the world is in chaos and wars are raging everywhere, can my virtuous brother calm down and study behind closed doors? Besides, since my virtuous brother has entered the world, it means that my virtuous brother has already completed his studies and has a big heart." Ambition hides a strategic strategy. Going back now with a bad mood is not the best strategy. In my opinion, my brother might as well travel with me. It can not only relax your mind, but also increase your experience and knowledge. It's the best of both worlds Why not do it? I don’t know what to do with filial piety?” Li Li suggested softly while drinking with Guo Jia.

"Eh?" Guo Jia looked up at Li Li in a half-drunk state, and said rather emotionally: "Brother Wenchang said it well. It's just that my mother is weak and there is no one to take care of her, so I am very concerned about it. Alas, brother Kindness, although my younger brother wants to go with you, but you can't be tied down by ordinary things. If you can't make it, what can you do!"

"Hehehe! Since Fengxiao also has this thought, I will leave the matter of taking care of Ling Ci to Brother Wei. Tomorrow I will send someone to bring Ling Ci to Brother Wei's residence, and I will take care of it in person. It will be done within half a month. Sure. But Fengxiao still needs a handwritten letter, so as not to make Ci worry, so that Brother Xian will have nothing to worry about, and he can travel around the world with Brother Wei!" Li Li said with a laugh.

"This,,,,,,," Guo Jia stared at Li Li in astonishment, his eyes extremely sharp.Then he bowed his head in thought and didn't speak for a long time.After a long time, he said thoughtfully: "For brother Wenchang, it seems that many things in the world can be easily done. I don't know what the younger brother can do for the elder brother? I think the elder brother is so generous to help the younger brother. It is definitely not a coincidence A hasty move without reason, because brother doesn't look like a rash person!"

After hearing Guo Jia's words.Li Lixin smiled.Nodding his head, he said: "My brother is right. I don't have the financial resources to help the world, so I definitely won't give generously to everyone I meet. There is a saying that when you are courteous, you must ask for something. Right now, I only ask for one thing, and that is Invite my virtuous brother to complete the journey with me for the next few months. As for the future, my virtuous brother can stay and stay as you please, and you will never force others to do you any favors!"

"It seems that my little brother has no reason to reject Brother Wenchang's kindness." Guo Jia murmured.Then he nodded happily and said: "There is nothing left and right, so I will go with my elder brother for a while, and learn a lot by the way!"

In fact, what Guo Jia said was insincere. What he really wanted to express was: "It seems that I have no choice. I have no choice but to agree to you, Brother Wenchang." It's so straightforward; because both parties are smart people, if they talk too thoroughly, how will they get along with each other in the future?

"Hehehe! It's so good, it's so good! Come on, brother, have another drink!" No matter what Guo Jia was thinking, Li Li raised the glass of wine with a hearty laugh, looking very happy, as if He smiled and was in a good mood.

At night, a few lanterns swayed with the wind, and the dim lights dotted the gradually quiet alley.

Drunken Immortal Wine Shop.

It was late at night, the lobby was empty, but the tavern was still open, and there were still two tables of guests upstairs who hadn't left yet.

"My lord is drunk, I will help you back to the inn."

Upstairs, in front of the window, Mrs. Zhen took her four daughters and walked to Li Li's side, and said softly.

"belch!"

Drunk-eyed Li Li raised his head when he heard the sound, but before he could speak, he had a belch, and his vision became increasingly blurred.Immediately, he got up and moved in front of Zhen Shi, opened his eyes wide and looked left and right, the strong smell of alcohol mixed with the man's heavy breath sprayed onto Zhen Shi's fair and pink cheeks, causing Zhen Shi's pretty face to blush, and she couldn't help but take half a step back, Turning his head sideways, he dared not look at Li Li.

"Oh, it turned out to be Mrs. Zhen, not Yunluo! Madam, go back first, don't worry about us, today I want to have a drink with brother Feng Xiaoxian, and I won't sleep until I'm drunk!"

After seeing Mrs. Zhen's face clearly, Li Li blushed and seemed to have regained consciousness. He waved his hand for Mrs. Zhen to leave on his own, and then his body softened, and he sat down and continued to drink.And Guo Jia beside him was also blushing from drinking, leaning on the table, looking at the Zhen mother and daughter with slightly squinted eyes, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes from time to time.

"Since that's the case, the concubine will take her leave first, and the young master should drink less, the health is more important."

Seeing that Li Li and the scholar called Feng Xiao had already drank three jars of wine, Mrs. Zhen wanted to persuade Li Li not to drink any more, but because of her female face, she was afraid of talking shallow and deep, so it was inconvenient to say more.Then she could only shake her head helplessly, bowed slightly to Li Li and Guo Jia, and walked slowly towards the stairs with her four daughters.

"Sister-in-law is beautiful, graceful, gentle and considerate, brother Wenchang, how lucky you are!" As soon as the five Zhen's mother and daughter walked away, Guo Jia spoke in circles with his tongue.

Li Li exclaimed in astonishment, "Uh, why did you say that?"

Guo Jia raised his head and drank a cup of wine, and said loudly without any scholarly restraint: "Although Mrs. Sister-in-law looks a little older than you, she has a beautiful face, a plump figure, and a charming style. Since my brother has such a beautiful wife, why not How can I let my sister-in-law stay alone in an empty room if I go back to sleep early. Don’t you hear that the joy of a man and a woman is the greatest joy in the world? Elder brother doesn’t need to drink with me, just go away, my younger brother won’t mind. Hahaha!”

"Sister-in-law, Ruyu's beautiful wife?" Li Li murmured to himself in astonishment, then shook his painful head and shouted in a daze, "Why is this beautiful wife and sister-in-law? Liangzhou, you're not here!"

"Uh, not here!" Guo Jia asked in surprise, "Isn't that beautiful woman who just passed by my elder brother's wife?"

"Hahaha!" Li Li burst out laughing and said, "It turns out that the virtuous brother is talking about the Zhen family! She is not my wife, but the current head of the Zhen family in Zhongshan, a rich woman who has been widowed for many years. She is indeed charming, but Beauty is beauty, but it’s a pity that you have been a wife for a long time, and you are already a wife. It’s too late to meet each other! Hahaha, when you, Guo Fengxiao, are mistaken, you should understand it! Come on, brother, let’s have another drink.”

"Bang!" The two wine cups collided in the air, and the two of them drank another cup of wine.

Chapter 417 Singing the Wind and Enchanting the Moon, People of the Same Way (Continued)

This time Li Xuan brought three jars of fine wine from Jiuquan, each about two to three catties, and the alcohol concentration was about forty degrees.

This is a high-concentration fruit wine that Li Li led the craftsmen of the Ordnance Department to carefully craft for more than a month. It is brewed from a mixture of grains, flower petals and fruits. It is rich and fragrant, and has a good taste.A catty of wine is worth one tael of gold, and the price of Jiuquan fine wine sold in the counties of the Central Plains doubles, and a small jar of two and a half catties of fruit wine costs five taels of gold.

In the states and counties of Dahan nowadays, [-]% fruit wine can definitely be regarded as high-concentration spirits. A small jar of wine is enough for an alcoholic to drink five meals, which is equivalent to three jars of water wine.

Now the three small jars of Jiuquan fine wine have been drunk by Li Li and Guo Jia, only half of the jar is left, but Li Xuan still has a share of the first jar of wine, which is considered to be finished by the three of them, and they are the one and a half jars left. The two just drank it.

"Hey!" Zhen's mother and daughter were ready to go downstairs, but when they reached the stairs, they heard a man named Feng Xiao mentioning themselves, so Zhen stopped immediately, and the five mother and daughter stood at the stairs and listened. listen quietly.

Unexpectedly, Li Li and Guo Jia made a slip of the tongue after drinking, thinking that they had gone far away, and still uttered nonsense without any scruples.

When Mrs. Zhen heard that Guo Jia mistook her for Li Li's wife, her pretty face was flushed, her cheeks were hot, and there was an indescribable complex emotion in her eyes.Therefore, she subconsciously ignored Guo Jia's next commentary, and her thoughts were chaotic, which inexplicably touched the emotions of many years of autism.

Immediately afterwards, when she heard Guo Jia utter the words "the ultimate joy in the world", her delicate body trembled, her breasts were soft and she almost fell down.Immediately, an indescribable long-lost feeling came to her heart, and she blushed suddenly, and she was so shy that she couldn't hold herself back, and she felt ashamed.

Later, after hearing Li Li's denial.Zhen's mind immediately relaxed, and she exhaled a breath of fragrance lightly.

However, when Li Li said "It's a pity that she is already a wife, and it's too late to meet again", Zhen's emotional shackles that had been imprisoned for many years in the bottom of Zhen's heart were suddenly pried deeply, and an inexplicable feeling burst out of the shackles Influx into the atrium.
