"Hahaha!" Cheng Chu said with a strange smile, "Let's eat hot pot. Hot pot is the best in winter, and it saves trouble."

Cheng Chumo sat down with the three of them, prepared three large pots of mutton, and some greenhouse vegetables from the Gu family, added some black pepper from the Western Regions, and the hot pot was completed.

While cooking meat, Di Renjie asked, "Brother Chumo seems to seldom walk around the teacher these days."

"Everyone has their own strengths." Cheng Chumo sighed in enjoyment after eating a piece of mutton and drinking a sip of spirits.

"Everyone has their own strengths?" Di Renjie hadn't realized what strange words Cheng Chumo said, "I hope Brother Chumo made it clearer."

"Oh!" Cheng Chumo said impatiently, "To be clear, my old man said that Gu Qing and I are not in the same way. Gu Qing is a counselor. The old man told me to stay away from your teacher! I went to see Gu Qing a few days ago. I was almost chopped off by Li Junxian, you said it was annoying or not."

"What... what!" Di Renjie was surprised, "Could it be that Brother Chumo has a feud with General Li Junxian."

"No holiday!" Cheng Chu bowed his hands silently, "I just stumbled into Li Junxian's ambush circle by mistake, and it wasn't the fault of that kid, King Wu! Don't mention Gu Qing, Xue Rengui, have you improved your skills recently? Will it delay you? gone?"

"Returning General, no!" Xue Rengui responded loudly.

"Okay!" Cheng Yaojin slapped the table with a loud voice.

The dishes shook and almost turned over the hot pot, Di Renjie hurriedly stabilized the table, and suddenly slapped the table to scare Pei Xingjian into a shiver.

"Come on!" Cheng Yaojin stood up and said, "Two tricks?"

Xue Rengui said respectfully, "Then ask General Cheng for advice."

Seeing the two standing aside, Pei Xingjian was a little worried, and whispered, "Brother..."

"It's okay." Di Renjie waved his hands, smiling as if preparing to watch a play. .

Xue Rengui put on a posture, "General Cheng sees the move!"

"Good job!" Cheng Chumo also put on a posture and was ready to accept the move.

8 Chapter Ninety: The Person Who Offended Xu Jingzong

Xue Rengui swung his fist and punched it out. Cheng Chumo was knocked to the ground on the spot when he was hit head-on, with nosebleeds flowing out continuously.

"General Cheng, are you okay?" Xue Rengui hurriedly helped Cheng Chumo up.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Cheng Chumo covered his nose, "I underestimated the stamina of this wine, eat the vegetables, eat the vegetables, and continue to eat the vegetables."

Di Renjie also smiled awkwardly, "It's always inappropriate to start a fight after drinking. In the future, Big Brother Chu Mo can compete with Big Brother Xue dignifiedly."

"Okay!" Cheng Chumo nodded and looked at Xue Rengui, "Next time, I won't let you."

They were talking and laughing during the meal, and Chang'an ushered in the second snow before the first snow had melted. Cheng Chumo looked at Xue Rengui and said, "It seems that the one from Ganlu Palace didn't reward you for your contribution this time."

"I don't care." Xue Rengui said.

Cheng Chumo's chopsticks paused slightly and said, "You might as well ask for credit."

"Why?" Xue Rengui couldn't figure it out.

"How should I say it?" Cheng Chumo hesitated for a while and said, "Actually, I should talk to His Majesty. Anyway, my old man said that if I see you, I will ask you to ask for credit!"

"You really should go." Di Renjie nodded while eating the few vegetables he picked up.

"But..." Xue Rengui hesitated again and again.

"I know your temperament." Cheng Chu smiled silently and patted Xue Rengui on the shoulder, "It's really embarrassing for you to ask for credit from Li Chengqian, I'd better go, who told you to be the general I brought out."

Xue Rengui hurriedly saluted, "Then thank General Cheng."

"Why are you polite!" Cheng Chumo poured several plates of cut mutton into the hot pot, "That guy Gu Qing brought you into the army without mentioning you, so I came here! That kid Gu Qing is getting worse and worse. Honestly, we must have a few drinks with him some other day."

Di Renjie and Pei Xingjian laughed without saying a word.

Gu family

Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu waited for Gu Qing at the gate of Gu's house together.

"What the hell is it snowing again?" Xu Jingzong looked at the sky in annoyance.

Li Yifu shrank his neck and said, "It is said that this year's winter is extremely cold."

"The two of you should go into the mansion and wait for the Patriarch." Fan Jian said with a wry smile, "The Patriarch has something important to do when he goes out, and he doesn't know when he will come back."

"Isn't this back?" Xu Jingzong looked at the figure walking in the heavy snow.

Gu Qing walked to the door of the house and looked at the two with a smile and said, "Why are you two here?"

"Come to visit Lord Hou, because of the dispute between the court and China for the past six months, I can't wait to come here..."

"Okay, okay!" Gu Qing interrupted their explanation and walked into his house. Hearing the hypocritical excuses of Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu, he couldn't stand it anymore. Neither of these two is absolutely loyal. No one would offend anyone who said good things about his own future.

Leading the two of them into the house, Gu Qing took off his overcoat and warmed his body by the stove, "You two fellows who have nothing to gain, you have been talking bad about me around Li Chengqian recently to please him."

"How dare, how dare!" Xu Jingzong said with a smile, "How dare we talk about Lord Hou behind his back, which man in the court does not fight for the goal of his life, Lord Gu is the leader of us officials in the court A benchmark, a monument! Unattainable!"

"Hiss..." Gu Qing couldn't help shivering when he heard Xu Jingzong's impassioned flattery.

"Master Hou, I swear to God, I have never said a word against Lord Hou in front of His Majesty!" Li Yifu said.

"Yes!" Xu Jingzong also nodded.

Gu Qing looked at the two with a strange smile.

Li Yifu immediately pointed at Xu Jingzong, "I don't know if Xu Jingzong said anything!"

Xu Jingzong hastily raised his head to look at Gu Qing's face, and then looked at Li Yifu in a panic, "The surname is Li! Don't bite me!"

"It's almost done." Gu Qing stopped the two who were about to quarrel. These two are good materials to be traitors, and they are worthy of the name and upright. It's interesting to watch them, "Why don't you two sing cross talk? suits you."

"crosstalk?"

Xu Jingzong was also puzzled, "Dare to ask Lord Hou about cross talk..."

"It's nothing." Gu Qing collected his thoughts, "Why are you looking for me here?"

Speaking of which, Xu Jingzong said again, "Master Hou is approaching the New Year's Eve, and the court promised to rest for half a month. The two of us plan to go to our hometown to pay homage to our ancestors. We haven't been back for some days."

"What do you ask me for this kind of thing." Gu Qing held up a cup of hot tea.

"It's not because you want to come early to give Lord Hou a new joy." Xu Jingzong smiled and took out a jade pendant, "This is a very good jade pendant! I bought it from a merchant from the Western Regions."

Gu Qing took the jade pendant with distaste and looked at it for a long time, "How much money did you pay for it?"

"A small gift is not a respect." Xu Jingzong had a complimenting look on his face.
