Chapter 357: Victory in sight?
"Hahaha, come on, have another drink!"
"This wine is good, it's even more fragrant than muddy wine!"
"Brother Zhang, come too and have a drink with me."
The five people, each with their own thoughts, moved to a large table very quickly.
A large plate of braised meat was served on the table, along with a pot of sake, allowing the three boatmen, who had not eaten meat for a long time, to enjoy the meal to their heart's content.
"Brother Zhang, I don't think you're from here, but are you just passing by?"
The leader of the three took a sip of sake, smacking his lips as he savored its sweetness. He then approached Zhang Liang and started chatting, "We three brothers all fled from the south. I'm the older, so they both call me Shanzi."
As he spoke, he raised his chopsticks and pointed at the other two one by one, "This is the second oldest, Wildcat, and the youngest, the third oldest, you can just call him Tiedan."
When the other two men heard this, they quickly swallowed the food in their mouths and smiled at Zhang Liang and Gan Fu.
Zhang Liang nodded and gestured for everyone to continue: "If it's not enough, there's more. Take your time and eat. There's no rush."
"Really? Oh, Brother Zhang, no, no, Master Zhang, please have another plate, we brothers can still eat more!" Tiedan had a big piece of meat stuffed in his mouth, groaning incoherently, and did not forget to pick up the wine glass with his left hand and take a sip.
"Okay." Zhang Liang called the shopkeeper without hesitation and brought another plate of braised meat.
"Come, let's toast you, young master."
"Yes, yes, sir!"
It was a small teahouse with little decoration, but because it was located on a main road, there were many people coming and going, so it was quite lively.
With two plates of meat and two pots of wine, Zhang Liang and his companions initially just focused on drinking and eating. The noisy voices and the clattering sounds of dishes and chopsticks in the teahouse were intertwined. With such a lively scene, the few of them became more and more interested in talking and drinking, and they managed to chat and drink for more than half an hour.
When everyone was drunk, Zhang Liang asked the three brothers casually, "Brother Shanzi, where are you rowing the boat?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wildcat, who had been drinking, quietly raised his head, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he winked at Tiedan.
Tiedan understood immediately and pretended to be drunk, his tongue tied as he yelled, "You have to ask me about this, young master. I tell you, the boss thinks a lot and won't easily tell others."
Shanzi, the middle of the three, saw the situation and immediately frowned and scolded, "Third brother, you've had too much to drink. Shut up!"
"Alas, you are not an outsider." Tiedan seemed not to hear Shanzi's words. He waved his hand proudly and, ignoring Shanzi's attempts to stop him, he approached Zhang Liang and said mysteriously in a deliberately low voice, "The three of us brothers specialize in doing things that ordinary people dare not do."
After saying this, he stretched out his big hand and patted Zhang Liang's shoulder vigorously, with a hint of drunkenness and heroism, "To tell you the truth, brothers also earned their lives on the battlefield, and now they love to go against the Qin people."
"The third one!"
Shanzi's harsh rebuke interrupted their conversation abruptly.
Afterwards, Shanzi hurriedly and shyly bowed to Zhang Liang, a smile plastered on his face, and hurriedly said, "Please forgive me, my brother got hysterical after drinking a few more cups. Please don't take it seriously."
Zhang Liang smiled faintly and waved his hand nonchalantly, "Brother Shanzi, don't be nervous. It's just drunken talk. I don't take it to heart. But in today's world, the people have suffered from the Qin for a long time. If we can fight against the Qin, it will be a great pleasure."
Shanzi's heart trembled. He secretly looked at Zhang Liang and saw that he looked calm, not testing him. He felt relieved, but still said cautiously, "Sir, there are many injustices in this world, and you must act within your ability. We brothers are just rough guys, and our words are drunken nonsense. Please don't take them to heart."
The wild cat listened quietly at the side, never saying a word, but his eyes moved back and forth between Zhang Liang and Shanzi, his vigilance still undiminished.
Tiedan was still mumbling, "Boss, what are you afraid of? This young man is obviously not on the Qin side. We brothers have seen countless lives and deaths on the battlefield. Why are we afraid to tell the truth?"
Shanzi glared at Tiedan and said, "Old Three, just be quiet for a moment."
Then he turned to Zhang Liang and said, "Sir, to be honest, my brothers and I are just trying to make a living rowing the boat. We gossip a lot every day and I'm afraid we'll cause trouble for you."
Hearing this, Zhang Liang's brows jumped, and he was already confident of victory.
He didn't point it out, but picked up the wine glass and said slowly: "Come, have another drink. It's fate that I can get together with you brothers today."
The few of them drank another glass of wine. The pub was still bustling, but the atmosphere at this table was a little more subtle.
Shanzi and the others lowered their heads and pondered Zhang Liang's purpose.
Zhang Liang was thinking about how to get Shanzi and the others to let down their guard and discuss the anti-Qin plan. At the very least, he had to get them to agree to help him escape from Yangwu.
He held the wine glass, his eyes half closed, watching every move of Shanzi and the other two.
Shanzi clinked glasses with Ganfu in a good mood and loudly told some interesting stories he had heard.
Although Tiedan was scolded by Shanzi, he still muttered from time to time, as if he was dissatisfied with Shanzi's caution.
Only the wild cat seemed silent, but if you looked closely, you could see that it was always alert.
Wildcat should be the one who makes the decision among the three.
After figuring this out, Zhang Liang felt relieved and turned to invite everyone to drink.
After three rounds of drinks, Zhang Liang put down his glass, looked at Wildcat and said seriously, "Brother Wildcat, we are passing through here and are unfamiliar with the place. I wonder if we could stay at your house for a few nights. Of course, the reward is negotiable, and I will definitely not let you stay for nothing."
The wild cat raised its head in surprise and met Zhang Liang's serious gaze.
Before he could even open his mouth, Tiedan had already agreed: "Okay, Master, and Ganfu, come live with us, it will be more lively with more people."
As he spoke, he bumped into Wildcat's shoulder.
Wildcat was helpless and could only sigh, shook his head, and stood up first, "Sir, please."
"Come on, Brother Ganfu, let's go get the horses!" Tiedan happily embraced Ganfu and followed closely.
The few of them gathered themselves together, paid for their meal, led out their horses, and left the teahouse.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, lengthening their shadows.
The owner of the teahouse silently watched the people walking away, patted the cloth, threw it over himself, turned around and continued to work.
The horse was led by Ganfu and followed leisurely behind the few people. They walked down the official road, passed through several folk paths, and finally came to a mud house beside a shallow beach.
The earthen house is not big, with two rooms, one main and one secondary, side by side.
In the larger main room, there was a large earthen kang, on which the bedding of the three brothers was scattered all over.
Tiedan excitedly led Zhang Liang and the others into the house and asked them to sit at the only table in the room.
"Sir, come and sit down."
As he spoke, he took a few quick steps to the earthen kang, pushed the bedding aside, pointed at it and shouted, "Look at how big our kang is! It's big enough for a few more people to sleep on it!"
