The prince is very fierce

Chapter 60: Drinker

Dayefang, Qingshi Lane.

The streets were full of soldiers, there were no pedestrians in the bluestone alleys, the yellowed wine flags were swaying in the wind and rain, but the Sun's shop remained open.

At the wine table next to the fence of the wine shop, a man in a white robe put a straight knife on the table. Next to him were three wine pots. Two pots of broken jade were burned, and there was already a hint of drunkenness on his stern cheeks.

Shopkeeper Sun took a towel and carefully wiped several old wine tanks. As usual, he muttered:

"...A few days ago, there was also an old drinker who was drinking in the shop. They say, 'one drunkenness can solve a thousand worries'. In fact, this wine can't relieve one's worries at all. Its only function is to drown oneself and stop thinking about those things. In fact, the little old man feels that the most worrying thing in the world is not the troubles, but that when you are troubled, there is no one to drink with you to soothe your sorrows..."

Xu Buling kept looking at the imperial city in the distance, and turned around after hearing the sound:

"The old shopkeeper is talkative. Why don't you chat with a drunkard when you see him drinking?"

"hehe……"

Shopkeeper Sun put a towel on his shoulders, took a plate of side dishes, sat down across the table, picked up the wine bottle, and filled a bowl:

"Some people want to listen, some people don't want to. Some people can listen, and some people just say it in vain. Old man, I have run a wine shop for so many years and I have met a lot of people.

The ordinary people in the market use wine to relieve their sorrows, half of them are trapped by love, and the other half are trapped by money. When they meet such drunkards, they can casually enlighten them with a few words, and they will be done with the wine.

As for the Jianghu people, it is different. Drinking is very enjoyable. No matter whether they know each other or have any grudges or grievances, if they put a bottle of wine here, they can call each other brothers and sisters. After drinking the wine and leaving the shop, they should live or die. Damn it, no one will listen to you no matter what you say.

The most difficult drinkers to serve are the gentlemen on Kuishou Street. You can never guess what's going on in your mind when you drink to drown your sorrows. After all, there are too many things going on. Being able to drown one's sorrows with wine means that the problem cannot be solved, and it is useless to try to persuade him. On the contrary, he will be disliked by the drinker, and naturally he will not be able to talk about it. "

Xu Buring chuckled lightly, picked up the wine bowl and touched it with Shopkeeper Sun:

"Then which one am I?"

Shopkeeper Sun took a sip of strong wine, smacked his lips and looked at it a few times:

"Hmm... The young master is young and is sitting here drinking. Most likely, he is trapped in love. Is it possible that some girl is blind and refuses to accept such a handsome young man as the young master?"

"..."

Xu Buling picked up the wine bowl and took a sip: "Girls with eyes should not be able to do it."

Shopkeeper Sun laughed when he heard this:

"As a young man in his early twenties, it is time for him to think about romance. If he is not a girl, why should he drink alcohol? Is it possible that he should think about his neighbors, oil, salt, soy and vinegar? That is what your father should think about at that age. Now that you've finished thinking about it, what do you want your father to do?"

Xu Buling was silent for a moment, shook his head and smiled: "That's true."

Shopkeeper Sun put down the wine bowl: "Actually, from my point of view, this is no different from what happened to those gangs on Hutai Street.

The eldest brother was so brave and fierce that he made enemies everywhere, making life difficult for the gang brothers. The second eldest brother couldn't stand it any longer, so he pulled the eldest brother off his horse and got in on his own.

The second-in-command takes the top spot. At first, the gang brothers may feel betrayed and have complaints in their hearts. But in the second brother's heart, if he is thinking about the brothers in the gang, thinking that the brothers do not need to lick blood with a knife, they have meat to eat, wine to drink, clothes to wear, and their wives, children, and children to have enough food and clothing, then this matter will be no problem. It is reasonable to judge merits and demerits in front of the King of Hell. When the brothers live a good life, they will naturally return to their hearts.

I'm just afraid of the second child, so I pulled the boss down because I took a fancy to the boss's family business, took the boss's position, and did the same things that the boss did before. This won't work. No matter how good the excuse is, if the brothers in the gang are not blind and are not convinced in their hearts, this position will not be secure, and sooner or later the third and fourth will appear. "

Xu Buling picked up the wine bowl and touched it with shopkeeper Sun again:

"The shopkeeper is a sensible person, but it's a pity that not everyone is as transparent as the shopkeeper."

"You have to understand this matter yourself, it's useless for others to see clearly..."

An old man and a young man were drinking and chatting in a small wine shop in the rain.

Soon after, footsteps were heard in Qingshi Alley, approaching from far away and arriving outside the fence.

Xu Buling turned around and saw Ning Qingye standing outside the wine shop holding an oil-paper umbrella and looking at him. She wanted to speak, but she hesitated.

Xu Buling put down the wine bowl, took out a piece of silver from his sleeve, put it on the table, picked up the straight knife and stood up:

"Gone."

"Come often."

Shopkeeper Sun laughed twice, put the towel on his shoulders, and put away the empty bottles and wine bowls.

Ning Qingye saw that Xu Buling's face was a bit drunk. After thinking about it, he stepped forward and covered Xu Buling's head with an oil-paper umbrella, and the two of them walked to the depths of the alley. She turned her head and asked:

"Why did you drink so much? Is the emperor making things difficult for you?"

Xu Buling's expression was easy-going, he took two steps and put his hand on Ning Qingye's shoulder:

"yes."

Ning Qingye subconsciously wanted to hide, but it could be seen that Xu Buling seemed to be in a bad mood. After a moment of hesitation, she gave up and allowed Xu Buling to put her arms around her shoulders and lean against each other:

"What's wrong? The emperor still wants you to go back to Xiliang?"

Xu Buling nodded: "The emperor wants to pass the throne to King Wei. King Wei has the strongest military force and high prestige. It is very likely that the four kings will stop fighting. Even if there is still a fight, it will be King Wei who fights. I can only lead him After marching back to Xiliang, King Wei will be the first to be liquidated when he succeeds to the throne."

Ning Qingye frowned, not knowing much about the affairs of the court. After thinking for a moment, he asked:

"What should we do? What did you tell the emperor?"

"I killed the emperor."

"Oh...ah?!"

Ning Qingye's steps suddenly stopped, and she tilted her head in surprise. She looked at Xu Buling with doubts in her eyes, as if she was trying to confirm whether Xu Buling was joking.

Xu Buling spread his hands slightly: "I didn't lie to you, I really killed him. In the history books for thousands of generations, the sentence 'Xu Buling killed his king' will be left in the history books, which can be regarded as 'his name will remain in history'."

Ning Qingye was shocked for a long time before she came back to her senses. After thinking about it, her eyes actually showed a bit of dissatisfaction:

"Good kill. That dog emperor, Iron Eagle's deer hunting has caused countless righteous people and their families to die. He should have died long ago. If my martial arts were not high enough, I would have gone directly to the palace to kill the emperor when I came to Chang'an City for the first time."

Xu Buling looked a little helpless: "These are two different things. It pleases people's hearts and people's hearts are happy, but this thing of 'junjun, minister, minister' is just like bullying the master and destroying the ancestors in the world. It is poked in the back by future generations."

"You even sleep with your master, why are you so afraid of this?"

"..."

Xu Buling blinked his eyes and was speechless.

After Ning Qingye said it, she also realized that something was wrong. However, this was the truth. She was straightforward and didn't think there was anything wrong. She just said:

"For people in the Jianghu, life and death are nothing more than a matter of closing one's eyes. Even if they are executed by the court for being extremely evil, they will be a good man again after eighteen years. The emperor is also a human being. If you kill someone who deserves to be killed, even if you break the law, you will still be a righteous man in the Jianghu." , what are you worried about? What happens after death has nothing to do with you..."

Ning Qingye obviously rarely comforted others. She thought of every word and tried to enlighten her lover seriously.

Xu Buling shook his head and chuckled. After thinking for a while, he suddenly raised his hand and hugged Ning Qingye to him, with gentle eyes:

"Qingye, I even killed the emperor for you, are you touched?"
