Chapter 134

Lao Cao looked at Li Jianxin and sat still, but looked at Li Jianxin but refused to speak first, and Li Jianxin also looked at Lao Cao and did not speak.While the two of them were staring at each other, the waiter brought out some dishes from the kitchen, put them on the table, and said to the two of them, "Master Cao, Mr. Li, both of you have all the dishes on the table. What else do you want to tell the little one?"

Lao Cao took a deep breath, and said, "Ge Laozi, today I have been honored by Brother Li, and I can have a good meal. Come on, Brother Li, don't be polite to me, hurry up and build it." He reached out and took out a pair of chopsticks from the chopstick holder, knocked on the table, picked up a chopstick, put it in his mouth and chewed, and said to the waiter at the side: "Here, go and give me two catties of burning knives."

"Well, Mr. Cao, just wait a moment, I'll come over quickly." The shop waiter replied, and went to the kitchen to heat up the wine.

"Eat, why don't you eat, don't be polite." Lao Cao said to Li Jianxin while pulling the vegetables.Li Jianxin gave Lao Cao a blank look, pouted his mouth, took out a pair of chopsticks from the chopstick holder, took a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed and said, "Are we at this joint?"

"It's okay, the shopkeeper and the waiter are our own people, so don't worry about anything. This Donglai Inn was originally our Dongchang's stronghold in Saibei, but it's not very good for Hu and Han to live together here, so it's open and open. I went to an inn. By the way, Mr. Li is out on business this time, does he need my help?" Lao Cao said nonchalantly, chewing on the cooked tendon in his mouth.

"First of all, I want to find someone. This person is called Qin Lang. You know it. In addition, Cao Zhengxiu asked me to bring you a secret letter." Li Jianxin took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to the old man. Cao.Lao Cao quickly wiped off the greasy corners of his mouth with his sleeves, and then wiped his hands. Then he took the letter with both hands, opened it impatiently, took out a piece of paper, and read it.

After reading the contents of the secret letter, Lao Cao carefully put the letter paper back into his arms, smiled and said to Li Jianxin: "It's not too late, we should finish our meal quickly, and I will take you to find Qin Lang."

Li Jianxin looked at Lao Cao's smiling face and asked curiously, "What makes you so happy?"

"The factory owner said that when things get better here, he will let me go back to the capital." Lao Cao said with joy.These words reached the ears of the shopkeeper who was hiding behind the counter, and he stood up immediately, and asked Lao Cao, "Master Cao, did the factory owner tell me how to arrange things for me and Little Six?"

"It's all arranged, and you can go back to the capital with me sometime, so you don't have to suffer here anymore." Lao Cao said with a smile.

"Really!" the shopkeeper turned out from the counter and asked like Lao Cao with a surprised face. "Of course it's true. We've been friends for so many years, Lao Wang, why should I lie to you?" Lao Cao said as he pulled a bench over to the shopkeeper and said, "Come on, sit down and eat together, we'll be busy later. gone."

The clerk who stood aside curled his lips and said, "The capital? It would be good to go back there. I really don't understand you adults." Hearing this, the shopkeeper's face instantly collapsed, and he was about to teach the clerk a lesson, but He was held back by Lao Cao.I saw Lao Cao persuaded: "He is still young, so of course he doesn't know the truth of falling leaves returning to their roots. Don't be so fussy with him. Come, eat vegetables. Let's respect Li Daxia." He poured out a wine glass and persuaded Li Jianxin to drink.

"Okay, obedience is worse than respect." Li Jianxin replied with a smile, picked up the cup and clinked glasses with Lao Cao and the shopkeeper.The strong wine entered his throat, and the tip of his throat seemed to be on fire, and after a while, a surge of alcohol surged to his forehead. "What a delightful wine." Li Jianxin put the wine glass heavily on the table, and said again: "One more glass."

Lao Cao reached for the flagon, poured a glass of wine for Li Jianxin, twirled a peanut, threw it into his mouth and chewed it, saying: "Naturally, it's a happy wine. Jianghu is like a knife, not happy, how can I finish this life. "

"Old Cao, what you said is a bit interesting." Li Jianxin picked up his glass and said with a smile.

"Of course it's interesting. After all, we all earn our living by pinning our heads next to our trouser belts. From time to time, we are always afraid that our heads will be picked off. If we don't feel happy, this life will be too sad." Lao Cao said Then he poured a glass of wine, picked up the glass and put his elbows on the table and said with a smile.

"It seems that we might be friends."

"Forget it, it's tiring to make friends with heroes like you. You always have to distinguish between right and wrong when doing things, but we are different. We only do what our superiors tell us to do." Old Cao laughed He said, then brought the wine in the glass to his mouth, and drank it all in one gulp.The strong wine was poured into his mouth, and Lao Cao frowned, until the strong wine in the glass was completely sent to the tip of his throat, the frown was relaxed, and he put down the wine glass and said: "Actually, I am also very nervous sometimes. I envy you heroes who are able to enjoy the rivers and lakes, but you don't have to be like us."

Li Jianxin laughed when he heard this, picked up the jug, poured a glass of wine for Lao Cao and the shopkeeper, and said, "I know why you, Lao Cao, were sent to this cold place. You have such a bad character. Likeable.”

"Yes, it's better for people like me to stay here without too much intrigue. Xiao Liuzi is somewhat right. There is nothing good in the capital. He is a man who eats people without spitting out their bones. Place." After finishing speaking, Lao Cao let out a long sigh and said: "Forget it, let's not talk about it, but let's eat first. After eating, there are still important things to do. Xiao Liuzi, go and get some more Let’s bring out the dishes, sit down and eat, and we’ll go out together later.”

"Yeah." Little Six replied, put the rag in his hand on his shoulder, and got into the back kitchen.Only then did Lao Cao say to the shopkeeper: "Old Wang, don't think I'm too talkative. The place in the capital is really not as good as you think. The factory owner wrote this time to say that you have worked hard all these years. For your sake, you will be cut off as criminals, and after this matter is played out, you will be free. It's just that you and your father decide whether to return to the capital in the end."

When the shopkeeper heard this, his face was a little uncomfortable, his brows were tightly frowned, his mouth was bitten white, and finally he said: "Old Cao, I know what you want, but there are some things that can't be left like this. I must take back what others took away from my Wang family back then."

"Forget it, I won't say much as an outsider, come, drink." Lao Cao said and raised his glass again.After a while, Xiao Liuzi came up with several dishes, put the food on the table, and he also picked up a bench and sat down.The atmosphere on the table gradually improved, and it was no longer as sad as it was before. Everyone was laughing and chatting amid the intermingling of wine and wine.
