Chapter 244: How many times have I set my sights on the prince?
Seeing Zhao Changhe drinking heavily, Huangfu Shaozong was very speechless. This guy really put on a great show. If this wave can make the capital famous, everyone will probably give half of it, and he himself The gesture created accounts for the other half.
Why don't you listen to the name, don't draw the sword, don't stand up, use one hand, and have too little wine.
He has finished pretending, but he does have the ability to be arrogant. If Huangfu Shaozong doesn't take action himself, no one else can really make him move.
He deserves to be famous.
Learned. Learned.
Until Zhao Changhe finished the bowl, no one came forward to challenge him. It can be regarded as a vivid lesson for the young people in the capital - why the Qianlong List is the Qianlong List.
There are tens of thousands of warriors in the world, but there are only two or three hundred on the list. Why?
If it is not far ahead of its peers, how can it be called a Qianlong? Going up and down the list is not a track at all, let alone Zhao Changhe, who is also at the forefront among Qianlong!
Especially when Zhao Changhe was only at the fifth or sixth level of the entrance hall, he was among the best. He stood out among a group of his peers at the seventh and eighth levels. Only then did people understand why.
The name is worthy of the name.
Not to mention other people, even Huangfu Shaozong had given up the idea of fighting Zhao Changhe at this moment. He found that he might not be able to defeat him. It's better to maintain the dignity of being two ranks higher than him. If there is a fight, what's the point of forcing his knife out? I've given away my ranking for nothing... That's what true hospitality is.
It's better to be like this now. While others respect Zhao Changhe, he, the eleventh, is also looked down upon, isn't it?
In silence, the second brother carried the new wine jar upstairs with admiration, placed it in front of Zhao Changhe, nodded and bowed: "Our shopkeeper said, this wine is considered a gift from the shopkeeper, to honor the hero."
Huangfu Shaozong twitched his lips: "Why don't you have money?"
“No, no, that’s not what I meant.”
Huangfu Shaozong slapped a gold leaf heavily on the table: "Go, get ten more altars, and bring the signature dishes quickly! I'm treating you, have I done you a favor? I'm not stupid."
Zhao Changhe laughed dumbly: "Brother Huangfu, whether you invite me or not, I am very grateful to you."
Huangfu Shaozong looked at him thoughtfully for a while, then sighed and said, "Is this a stage for you to show off your holiness?"
Zhao Changhe clapped his hands and laughed: "Brother Huangfu is also a wonderful person."
Huangfu Shaozong motioned to the left and right: "Carry them out."
The servants of the Hou Mansion stepped forward one after another and carried the challengers downstairs who were scattered all over the place. The atmosphere was quiet for a while, and Huangfu Shaozong finally regained his composure. He poured the wine leisurely and said, "Brother Zhao, isn't he a little too showy?"
Zhao Changhe smiled half-heartedly: "Isn't this the stage set up by Brother Huangfu?"
"I never thought that Brother Zhao would be so arrogant. I originally thought he would be a little more low-key and modest...after all..."
"Looking on the sidelines, clapping and laughing, being aloof... What's wrong with being aloof, and what's wrong with being a little crazy?" Zhao Changhe raised the bowl again and drank it all in one gulp: "We're already here, what's the use of shrinking? If there's only this little thing, it will make me disappointed."
“Boom!” Dark clouds gathered, lightning flashed and thunder thundered, and heavy rain poured down.
It was completely dark.
The noisy restaurant became quiet, the rain outside the window hit the balcony, and there was silence inside.
Huangfu Shaozong couldn't hide the admiration in his eyes. He was such an interesting person. No wonder his sister let him get in touch with him more.
It seems that when this person enters the capital, there will be a turmoil... But here he is sitting on the balcony and drinking happily, but the whole capital is completely silent. Except for the young people who come to challenge Qianlong, there is no turmoil at all. occur.
It was as if a person with only six levels of entrance hall had suppressed a capital city.
Even though we knew it wasn't the case... His sudden arrival in Beijing was unexpected by others, and even the attitude towards him might require a day or two of heated debate before any result could be achieved. And they have their own concerns, such as his identity as Huangfu Shaozong and the noble concubine standing behind him. Has it proved a certain tendency?
If someone takes action, will someone else intercept it? Then everything will be on the table. Who wants it?
In royal battles, be very careful and no one dares to take the lead easily. Xia Longyuan is still alive...
So he was allowed to laugh and curse wildly, and the capital was silent.
Where does the tiger's den and the dragon's pool come from? It's nothing more than that!
Even though he knew the reason, Huangfu Shaozong couldn't help but admire him. He went to the capital at the sixth level of the Profound Pass, and as a man of great influence, faced with an unknown number of people from heaven and earth, and countless forces and thousands of troops, how could anyone be able to look after him with such stern gaze?
On the balcony in the distance, Tang Wanzhuang watched quietly, her beautiful eyes gradually blurred. On the other side opposite her, Suzaku raised his arm.
"Brother Huangfu." They exchanged glasses of wine for an unknown amount of time. As the night got darker, Zhao Changhe seemed to be drunk: "Is there a casino here? I have some time to gamble."
I thought you were going to ask about the prostitutes here... Opposite is Yihong Building. I'm going to hitchhike with you. My sister can't scold me, so how can I ask about the gambling house? I've never heard of this person being a gambler...could he be referring to gambling on his life?
Huangfu Shaozong's mind was spinning and he said slowly: "There...at the end of this street, just around the corner is the Anle Gambling House."
“Yo, happiness, peace, chain?”
Huangfu Shaozong shook his head: "I've never heard of Kang Le Gambling House."
"Oh..." Zhao Changhe knocked his head: "That shabby gambling house is far away in Jianhu. Isn't it surprising that you guys from the capital have never heard of it... What do you think, will you come with me to have fun?"
"It still doesn't work. My family is extremely harsh on this punishment... I'm afraid my sister will break my legs if she finds out. If Brother Zhao wants to go, just go."
“Okay, I’ll go and play by myself.”
In the wind and rain, Zhao Changhe staggered out of the restaurant: "I'm so excited. Thank you Brother Huangfu for your hospitality."
Huangfu Shaozong stood upstairs and looked down. He didn't know why Zhao Changhe went to the gambling house, but he knew why Zhao Changhe deliberately went out alone, so he deliberately didn't go to see him off.
Straight avenue, long street in heavy rain. The left and right lanterns swayed and creaked in the rain, intertwined with the crackling sound of the rainstorm, forming a unique symphony.
Pedestrians were few and far between, holding umbrellas and passing by in a hurry. A swaying drunk man walked in the middle of the road as if there was no one around.
If there is a flash of sword light at this time, is it particularly suitable for the occasion?
However, until Zhao Changhe finished walking the long street on a rainy night, there was no movement.
Zhao Changhe seemed to have not drunk enough wine, so he took out the wine gourd and took another big sip, then laughed away: "The smoke in the capital is nothing more than that! It turns out that the pure Mr. Dai can bring the clearest answer. Before you and I, , thinking too much!”
No one knows who "you" refers to, and everyone who hears it thinks it refers to themselves.
It’s a pity that the real “you” is still in the Four Symbols Sect.
“Bang!” Zhao Changhe staggered open the casino door.
The guard hurriedly stopped him: "This young man, you are not allowed to bring knives into the gambling house."
Zhao Changhe looked at him sideways and grinned: "What if this is the knife I bet on?"
“Boom!” There was thunder in the sky again.
A sigh finally came from the gambling house: "No one in the capital dares to accept this bet."
Zhao Changhe smiled and said: "You don't dare to take the eighth place on the Tianbang?"
"Don't dare, let alone the fifth master is not here, we don't dare to make the decision for him." The man said leisurely: "But there is no problem in letting the young master bring a knife... The gambling house is not just a gambling house, it also has the best hot springs Shui, the best dealer, will accompany you on this trip."
“Yes, yes, you are more interesting than Huangfu Shaozong.”
“In a princely family, there are just too many worries, no matter Huangfu or Cui Tang. I don’t have that much care. When guests come, I just welcome them. Young Master invites them."
"Who said we are particular?" Baoqin's angry voice came from behind: "Young Master Zhao is my young master's friend, and he helped our family get rid of the Maitreya Cult conspiracy. The lady said that I should have received you, but I am busy today, so let me Mr. Huangfu is just here to receive you."
Zhao Changhe twitched his lips, what are you doing? I have something to do!
Shouldn't you be anxious just to hear a dealer accompany you to the hot spring...
The man in the gambling house was also a little helpless: "Since Miss Qin said so, we have no reason to force the guests, so please do it."
Before he finished speaking, Huangfu Shaozong came in a hurry: "Well, Brother Zhao, although I can't accompany you to the gambling house, the living room at home has been fully decorated, and the maid is gentle..."
Before he finished speaking, a sharp voice came from the distance: "The Queen has decreed that Zhao Changhe be invited to the palace to see her."
As if the wind and rain stopped for a moment, Zhao Changhe laughed loudly: "What kind of queen, what kind of head, what kind of prince. I want to enter the gambling house, what does it have to do with you?"
After saying that, he ignored no one and walked in the door.
Huangfu Shaozong opened his mouth, closed it again, hugged the piano and ran away in tears.
An old **** stood in the distance, trembling with anger: "How can this be unreasonable..."
