Space-time SWAT

Chapter 176 Chaos in Chang'an

Pu Gu Huai'en's words were mysterious, more empty than real, and basically hearsay, which made Gao Xianying and Du Li feel elated.Listening to his tone, most of the unofficial gossip that has been handed down is untrue, they don't really believe it, they just regard it as illusory legends, but Gao Xianying and Du Li believe it.

This time, the god who came out to subdue the evildoer must be Yan Li.

He's coming out.

Gao Xianying smiled and picked up the teacup, drank it down, then lifted the teapot on the table, filled it for Pugu Wynn and himself, and asked happily, "Will you be back in the next year, Mr. Lang?"

Pugu Huai'en took a big sip from his teacup, and said with a hearty smile, "It depends on what the court wants. We don't seem to be leaving soon, we will stay in Chang'an for a while."

"That's good." Gao Xianying picked up the teacup and touched him, "Whenever you are free, please come to the humble house, and let's have a drink."

Pugu Huai'en was overjoyed, "It's so good, I have to come and bother you." He was quite impatient with the elegant things in Chang'an city, such as tasting tea, enjoying flowers, playing the piano, playing chess, writing poems and papers, and still prefer big pieces of meat and big bowls of wine. It is refreshing to talk about martial arts with swords and guns.

In the lively atmosphere, time passed quickly.When the performance on the stage was over, many stewards and servants came over and respectfully guided the guests to sit in the main hall.

This time it was the younger generation's birthday, Li Ke, Princess Taiping and other older generations of royal family did not come, the royal relatives who came to celebrate the birthday were all younger generation, very active.Di Renjie and other veterans did not have a banquet here, but were accompanied by Prime Minister Li Dan, and ate in the beautiful warm pavilion in the large garden.

Li Chengqi, Li Chengye, and Li Longji were all worried that Princess Anle and her like would disrupt the situation, so they deliberately placed the female relatives alone in the viewing pavilion in the back garden, accompanied by the three princesses.

Li Chengqi's mother Xiang Wangfei Liu and Li Longji's mother Ruren Dou were called into the palace by Wu Zetian to die.More than ten years ago, Wu Chengsi ordered the maid Wei Tuan'er to falsely accuse Liu Shi and Dou Shi of practicing witchcraft and curse Wu Zetian. Empress Wu was furious and summoned them to the palace for an audience, and then sent someone to kill them when they left the palace. Neither of them know where their remains are.After Li Dan did not continue to marry the princess, when he became emperor, he only chased Liu and Dou as queens.Therefore, the only hostess who is qualified to entertain female guests is the princess of the Li brothers.

In this way, the three banquets will not be restrained, and each is happy and happy.

Young and middle-aged men sat behind the desks, with thick woolen blankets under them. On each desk, there was a copper pot and a small iron oven. Separated to avoid water.The copper pot is filled with boiled white bone soup, and there are several kinds of meat products and vegetables beside it, which can be eaten as you cook.Smokeless charcoal is burned in an iron grill covered with a thin wire mesh to grill food.In addition to these two, there are wine jugs and wine bowls for guests to drink freely.

The tables are relatively long. If you are tall, you can seat two people, and if you are thin, you can seat three people.The guests were not restrained, they formed their own groups, and sat together with friends and friends.Gao Xianzhi and Gao Xianying sat at a table, with Guo Ziyi and his eldest son at the top, and Ge Shuhan and Pugu Huai'en at the bottom.One is from the Geshu tribe of the Tuqi tribe, and the other is from the Tiele Pugu tribe. Both are young famous generals with similar temperaments, and they happen to sit and drink together.

At the beginning of the banquet, Li Chengqi said a few words first, thanked the guests who came to celebrate the birthday, and toasted everyone with a glass of wine.Everyone raised their glasses at the same time and drank together.

After that, it was released, and the guests were all free to eat and drink as they wanted.You can do it yourself if you are willing, or let the maidservants or servants around you do it.

The music group sitting in the corner played music, and there were maikos performing in the hall, or female mistresses dancing Huxuan dance, or male mistresses dancing harangue dance.The music may be cheerful or mighty, and the dance is even more exciting, and there are occasional juggling troupes performing hundreds of plays.Everyone applauded one after another, and the hall suddenly became lively.

Gao Xianzhi was sitting close to Guo Ziyi, Gao Xianying was very close to Ge Shuhan and Pugu Huai'en, they were chatting, laughing and drinking, and they were very happy.

Gao Xianying is very good at cooking hot pot, mutton mutton and barbecue. While drinking and chatting, he keeps his hands on the table. He roasts, boils and shabu-shabu meat for his father and himself, and occasionally mixes it with vegetables such as radish, lotus root, tofu, and bean sprouts.

While eating and chatting, Li Longji suddenly appeared next to Gao Xianying.At this time, there was no strict hierarchy like the later dynasties, let alone the situation in the Qing Dynasty where the monarch treated his ministers as slaves. As long as the relationship was good, the relationship between the prince and ordinary courtiers was quite casual.Li Longji sat in the gap between Gao Xianying and Ge Shuhan, ate a piece of barbecue here, drank a bowl of wine there, and asked many questions about quelling the Anlushan rebellion.

Both Gao Xianying and Ge Shuhan moved aside so that he could sit more comfortably, and then he talked in detail about some of the counter-insurgency campaigns he had personally experienced and the aftermath.

Geshuhan was born in a noble family. His grandfather was the leader of the Tuqi Shigeshu tribe. His father was the deputy governor of the Anxi Dufu Mansion and the Chishui Army envoy. His mother was the princess of the King of Khotan. A well-known dandy who likes to drink and gamble, and doesn't think about making progress.Until his father died, he stayed in Chang'an for three years, but was despised by the Chang'an captain and suffered a lot of humiliation.He managed the army well, had strict discipline, won many battles, made outstanding achievements, and soon became a well-known general.Although he looks rough and bold, he is actually bold and careful. He speaks in a more measured manner, and he doesn't talk casually. He has a good chat with Li Longji.

Gao Xianying listened with a smile, and accidentally added a few words.He didn't know much about everything after the war, and only learned some indirectly from the military newspaper. At this time, he was also quite interested in what happened later, especially the part involving the forbidden snowfield.

Ge Shuhan also mentioned that some herdsmen once saw people who suspected to be from Anlu Mountain entering the legendary Migu in the forbidden snowfield, but it has not been confirmed so far.

After hearing this, Li Longji frowned, pondered for a moment and said: "After entering that place, I'm afraid it will be difficult to reappear in the future."

"Yes." Ge Shuhan nodded, "So we didn't pay too much attention to it."

Pugu Wynn added: "We still sent people to track down the whereabouts of Anlu Mountain. If he really entered the Valley of Misty, he would not be able to get out. If he didn't actually go there, he would be found one day .”

"Yes." Li Longji smiled, picked up the wine bowl and raised it to them, "I respect all the generals, everyone has worked hard."

"Thank you, Your Highness." The generals on both sides raised their wine bowls, ready to drink them all in one gulp.

Gao Xianying suddenly paused, then said solemnly: "Don't drink it, there is something wrong with this wine."

Everyone stopped and looked at him suspiciously, "What's the problem?"

Gao Xianying looked at the jug on the table, "We've already drank all the wine just now, is this the new bar that was just delivered?"

The military generals have long been drunk, so how could they remember these small details, they all looked at the jug in front of them, but they were not sure that it was the new wine that had just been delivered.

Gao Xianying put down the wine bowl, and said to Li Longji: "His Royal Highness, let everyone stop drinking. There are bad things in this wine. Although it is not poisonous that kills instantly, it is harmful to the body. If the body is weak, drinking If you drink this wine, you are afraid that something will happen. Even if your body is strong, you will feel weak after drinking this wine. If you encounter an accident, you will be powerless to resist and you can only let others slaughter you. The consequences will be disastrous."

Those generals were all terrified in their hearts, and immediately put down the wine bowls in their hands, not daring to touch their lips again.

Li Longji was even more vigilant, stood up immediately, waved his hand to the servant to stop the singing and dancing, and then shouted, "Everyone, don't drink alcohol!" His voice echoed in the hall, which surprised everyone, and they all stopped , set his sights on him.

He didn't want to cause confusion and disturb the elder brother's birthday banquet, but said in a deep voice: "The servant mixed up the wine, and the new wine is not suitable for drinking for the time being. Come here, remove the wine and replace it with a new one!"

"Here." A large number of servants, servants, maidservants, and nuns hurried forward and removed all the drinking utensils from the tables.The guards moved faster and immediately removed all the wine jars piled up in the corner of the hall.

Things started in a hurry, although Li Longji remained calm, he still seemed too eager.Everyone in the hall looked at him, many of them looked unpredictable, as if they wanted to see what kind of heart he had.

Li Chengqi sat upright on the main seat, and smiled amiably: "Sanlang, don't worry, come and sit down. Since the newly brought wine is not suitable for drinking, let them replace it with better wine. Everyone has drunk so much wine, let's take a break Take a break, eat some cakes first, and then continue drinking later."

"Okay." The officials and generals of Li Dan's department immediately cheered and applauded loudly, diluting the embarrassing atmosphere just now.

Someone shouted repeatedly, "Musician, play the music, play the music... hey, you keep dancing, keep dancing... that... all kinds of operas, juggling, all act out..."

Only now did Gao Xianying have time to ask secretly, "Xiao Li, what's the matter?"

Du Li was very upset, "There is a strange medicine in the wine, which is very bad for people's health. The person who gave the medicine... On the surface, he seems to be a small steward of the Yongping Palace, but in fact he is someone who was placed by Empress Wei, but the order The behind-the-scenes instigation of him prescribing the medicine at this time was Princess An Le. I checked the causal line in her body and found that the final mastermind was Qing Di from the palace."

"Oh?" Gao Xianying was very calm, "What is the purpose?"

"Princess Anle wants to take this opportunity to kill all the young people who can compete with her for the position of crown prince. The purpose of the green divination is still you, father." Du Li was a little confused, "I don't know why he is so obsessed with you... The causal line in this aspect is both obscure and complicated, as if there is a special force in the dark that is disturbing my perception, making it impossible for me to deduce it."

"So..." Gao Xianying thought for a while, "How about those old ministers and their female relatives? Has the drink been drugged?"

"No." Du Li quickly explained, "The banquets on both sides were more elegant, and the drinks were not consumed much. The first batch of wine that was moved was not finished, so no more wine was sent. Only here, everyone drinks Terrible, the first batch of wine was finished, and the second batch of wine was filled with medicine. This is the meaning of a counselor next to Princess An Le, thinking that you are all half drunk before you give medicine. won't notice."

"Understood." Gao Xianying nodded secretly.It was a good idea. If it wasn't for Du Li's surveillance, most of them would have fallen for it.

Before the new wine was exchanged, someone rushed into Yongping Palace quickly, bringing a shocking news.

Wu Wang Li Ke suddenly became critically ill.
