Chapter 275: The fief is outside Yumen Pass
Yuchi Gong smiled and said, "You still remember this! I just came back from another place and had not yet come to find you. And you didn't ask for it. You insisted on living in the monk temple. If you don't live in a good house, who can't blame me?"
Wang Ping'an exclaimed and said, "How do you know that I live in the monk temple?"
"I know everything about you!" Yuchi Gong said proudly. Seeing Li Ji getting on the horse at the gate of the palace, he whispered: "For some time in the future, you will have to eat with Old Man Li, so why don't you go and flatter him quickly. Just so happen that we'll go drink later, bring him, and get close to the trap. He won't make things difficult for you in the future!"
Wang Ping'an looked at Li Ji and said, "Does he like to make things difficult for others?"
Yuchi Gong shook his head and said, "I don't like it. He has always been easy-going, but things in the world are hard to say. If you don't flatter me well, he will be difficult for you to do it twice, and you will have to leave!"
Wang Ping'an immediately stepped forward, came to Li Ji, and said, "Mr. Li, the official... The student met you today and was deeply impressed by your style, so he wanted to invite Lord Li to have a drink and play..."
Li Ji had just sat on the back of the horse. Before Wang Ping'an finished speaking, he had not finished his flattery. He hummed twice and said, "No need, I can't drink alcohol, and I don't like playing. You and Old Man Yuchi will go. He likes three things in his life. One is to call people behind the scenes, the other is to drink alcohol, and the third is to hug women. You taste similar and it is normal to be like each other!" After that, he left after taking the horse and ignored Wang Ping'an's invitation.
Wang Ping'an was funny in his heart. He said it very accurately. He said nothing wrong with three things. Isn't this true for Yuchi Gong! He followed the horse and said, "The students still have some questions about how to prevent smallpox disease. They also want to ask Lord Li about how to regulate the body and take medicinal food. The student happened to open a medicinal food shop and wanted to ask Lord Li to do it... to diagnose it so as not to delay the serious matter!"
I will put the big hat on you first. If you don’t go, it will delay the serious business. I think you will go!
Li Jiyi held back his horse and thought to himself: "Little bastard, please encircle me!"
Without waiting for his answer, Wang Ping'an turned around and shouted at Yuchi Gong: "Mr. Yuchi, Lord Li is unwilling to go with us to diagnose the dietary therapy related to smallpox. Let's go for it ourselves. How to diagnose it, I can only ask you for more help!"
He shouted in a very loud voice. All the ministers who had not left at the palace gate heard it and looked at it together, thinking in their hearts: "Old Li doesn't want to diagnose smallpox. Could it be that the expression of volunteering in the palace is all pretending?"
Yuchi Gong shouted, "Then let's go. If there is any difficulty, I will help you!"
Wang Ping'an said oh and was about to turn around and leave, but he heard Li Ji cough loudly and said in surprise: "You should go and diagnose the diet therapy for smallpox, go quickly, let me give you some advice, so as not to make the wrong diagnosis, go astray, and delay the emperor's major affairs!"
Yuchi said with a harsh voice and whispered: "Old Man Li, you really don't eat the toast and you're fined. You're eating a lot, and you're not afraid of choking!" He asked his followers to give up a horse and hand it over to Wang Ping'an to ride. The three of them left the square in front of the palace and rushed to the East City Medicinal Food Farm!
The East City is not far from here, and it will arrive soon. When I arrived at the gate of the Medicinal Food House, Li Ji looked up and shook his head, "It's so luxurious that you can open such a large restaurant in Dongcheng City of Chang'an. It seems that Wang Ping'an is really rich in your family. I have been an official for many years, but even if you want to open such a restaurant, it's very difficult!"
Yuchi Gongze said, "Isn't this place an eighth heaven before? How did the famous restaurant in Chang'an City be converted into a medicinal restaurant and still belong to your family? No illness, although I know that your family is rich, at best, I am just a rich man in the countryside. I can't afford such a large restaurant if I sell all the land at home. This is a place where every inch of land is valuable!"
Wang Ping'an was very proud of his ability to shock the two princes. That was something worthy of pride. He smiled and said, "I haven't paid a penny, they are all booked by friends. I just provide medicinal recipes!"
Li Ji turned to look at him and thought to himself: "It seems that you can't starve to death if you don't become an official! When I was young, I went to kill people with bare shirtlessness. Now I am a Duke, but I don't live as a comfortable life as you!"
Yuchi Gong said: "I don't have a penny to buy, and I come to such a big restaurant with nothing. It seems that I have to come here often in the future. The expenses for food and drink will be recorded in your account!"
The shopkeeper at the entrance of the store was surprised and happy to see Wang Ping'an coming. This boss was different from other positions. He never came from the medicinal food shop and just waited to sit and share the money. It was quite stylish!
A group of friends rushed over and shouted, "Wang Dong family, you are here, let the young man serve you!" When they saw that Yuchi Gong and Li Ji were both wearing purple official uniforms, they knew they were officials who were too big to be even more powerful, and they even cursed them with great care!
The three of them entered the restaurant, and Hamiti quickly came and shouted, "No sick, why are you free to come today? Is there something wrong?"
Before Wang Ping'an could answer, Yuchi Gong smiled and said, "Why is it you? It turns out that this medicinal food shop is yours. It's such a big head!"
Hamiti was stunned and then said happily: "Captain Xian, Grandpa Yuchi, why are you here too?"
Yuchi Gong said: "He came to celebrate Wuyan. He had just been named Earl by the Emperor and the Uncle of Zheliu County. It was a coincidence that he was right next to your house!"
Hamiti was overjoyed. Although he didn't know the details, what Yuchi Gong said would never be wrong. He hugged Wang Ping'an and almost jumped up. He smiled and said, "Not sick, you are the count, or where are we? Congratulations, this is a big event, and you must celebrate with a good life!"
Hamitti and the guys, like stars, welcomed the three of them to the highest floor. There were no other guests on the highest floor. This place was for entertaining important guests, just to celebrate Wang Ping'an.
After the three of them sat down, Hamiti shouted: "I'll serve the food for the King of Justice. Change the master to the master and serve him with all his heart!"
There was a voice of agreement: "Serve the food for the King of Justice..." The entire medicinal meal shop was filled with such calls, which made all the diners hear it!
A diner grabbed the guy and asked, "Sir Wang, which one?"
The guy was proud and proudly said: "Who is Wang Jue Ye? That's my boss! Little Doctor Ping An, do you know?"
The diner said, "I know, he is the best in medical skills, literary talent, and excellent in both medical poetry in Chang'an. Is he your boss?"
"Wang Shuangjue is your boss?" Some diners shouted.
"The Great Sage An is your boss?" Someone shouted again. This man is a top-notch charlatan. He relies on Wang Ping'an's name, but he doesn't know how to rely on him. He lives a very comfortable life anyway.
"Is the little Guanyin who gave birth to a child your boss?" This voice was even louder.
Everyone said in unison: "He has become the lord, what title is?"
The guy was proud, his heels trembled and he shouted: "It's the earl, the emperor's title!"
The diners jumped up together and shouted, "I'm so happy, I have to toast the King of Justice!" Hulala, all rushed upstairs!
Upstairs, Li Ji's coughing sounded louder. Wang Ping'an looked at him and thought to himself: "He may have suffered from asthma, but looking at his appearance, he knew that my medical skills... He was the best person, but he didn't come to beg me, so I should not show him to him. When he begs me, we will show him again!"
Li Ji said: "Wang Ping'an, what kind of medicinal food should you take to achieve the disease of smallpox?"
Wang Ping'an said, "No hurry, let's talk about this later." He turned to ask Yuchi Gong, and said, "Where is that Zheliu County? You just said it was in Hamiti's house. Isn't that in the Turkic state?"
Yuchi Gong said, "Actually, you should guess it when you hear the name of this county. It must be at the border. When Zheliu, when Zheliu, I sent someone away, I only had the willows and Liu, which is homophonic with Liu and Liu. Zheliu County is quite far away, farther than Yumen Pass. When I saw him off, I sent him out of Yumen Pass, but I still couldn't bear to break up. I sent him another trip, and it was Zheliu County. It was already outside the pass and he could not send him any more. So Zheliu said goodbye and this city was named."
Li Ji snorted and said, "This is a must-pass place on the Silk Road. The people are brave and robbers everywhere. The local people do not like to farm and make a living by robbing past merchants. The emperor granted you this place just to give you a title. Don't think of collecting a penny of taxes from here!"
Yuchi Gong said: "There is not far from Gaochang. Although my Tang Dynasty included Gaochang in the territory, my control over it is weak. The people there... Alas, there are no people there, all of them are robbers, who make a living by robbing merchants. They come and go like the wind, and they can't help but send troops to suppress them."
He paused, patted Wang Ping'an's hand, and said, "The emperor is just giving you a title. If you give you a wealthy place directly, it will cause dissatisfaction among some people. When you get the smallpox done, you will definitely have to change the seal. Don't worry!"
Wang Ping'an said, Li Shimin granted such a place to him, which is understandable. However, it seems that Zheliu County should be a robber's nest, with forty thieves everywhere. But if this county is close to Gaochang, isn't that the only way for Tang Xuanzang to return to his country? Tang Xuanzang would not be robbed by the people on my fiefdom. I just don't know if he has the good luck of Alibaba, who can kill the robbers and run back by himself!
Hamiti kept listening and interrupted, "If you want to talk about the thief of Zheliu, that person really resounded throughout the Western Regions. Not to mention the Shangshe, even our Turks and smaller tribes dare not go to the neighborhood to nomads. If there are fewer than a thousand men in the tribe, it will be over. This tribe will be robbed by them, and they can't even give them a piece of sheepskin to leave!"
Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "I don't care if I'm a robber. Anyway, I don't plan to go to the fiefdom in my life, and I don't care about those taxes..."
The three of them shook their heads together, thinking in their hearts: "Don't talk too much, that's not a certain matter. What if the emperor doesn't change his title, and he will upgrade you from Zheliu Bo to Zheliu Marquis, and then give you a governor and send you to guard the border, do you go or not?"
While he was talking, a large group of people rushed up, holding wine glasses in their hands and shouted: "Sir Wang, we are here toast you!"
Li Ji turned his head, coughed a few times, and said angrily: "What are these people? What do you want to do when you run up!"
Huhuhuhu, forty or fifty people rushed up in one breath, and the top floor was filled with people. The stairs were also crowded with people, all of whom were raising their necks and looking upstairs, shouting loudly, and the prince kept shouting!
Wang Ping'an took a hissing breath and thought to himself: "I don't know any of these people, why do they come to congratulate me?"
The diners all looked lit up and squeezed to Wang Ping'an's table, holding a wine glass, and wanted to toast Wang Ping'an. A diner squeezed in front and shouted: "King Wang, Master Wang, I'm here to toast you! Come on, let's have a cup!" The man seemed to have drunk a little too much, his face was flushed, and he was glossy, and his tongue was a little bit loud.
Before he could hand over the wine glass, someone pushed him away, and someone squeezed him up and shouted, "Sir Wang, I'd better have a drink with you!"
Everyone was squeezing to Wang Ping'an and wanted to talk to him. But when there were too many people, they couldn't help but push away, and they even squeezed the dining table to move!
Yuchi Gong and Li Ji were sitting by the table. They were both wearing official uniforms, but no one of the diners cursed them, but they all rushed to curse Wang Ping'an. Of course, they didn't care, just pretended to be a joke! But these diners squeezed the table and knocked them down!
Yuchi Gong was furious, slapped the table, stood up, and shouted, "Damn it, what do you want to do, no big or small!"
Li Ji was also quite unhappy. These guys were drunk too much. Seeing my official uniform, they dared to come forward. They just wanted to ask for a fight!
After coughing a few times, he pushed the table aside like Yuchi Gong and stood up. But before he could scold him, he felt dry mouth, stuffy chest, and difficulty breathing!
Li Ji held the table, opened his mouth, and his throat was like a bellows clattering, and he suddenly became sick!
When Wang Ping'an saw him like this, he hurriedly shouted: "Stay calm, keep calm, don't panic! Oh, why are you squeezing here? Get out of here!"
He pushed away the diner whom he had come to flatter, held Li Ji, and shouted: "General Li, are you okay? Relax your whole body, sit down slowly, relax, relax, relax your whole body... You just think you are taking a bath, you are lying in the bathtub, taking a hot bath, just think that's it, just think that's it!"
Li Ji's muscles were originally hard. When Wang Ping'an yelled in his ear, he tried to think that he was taking a hot bath, lying comfortably in the water. Gradually, his emotions calmed down and he sat back on the chair!
Wang Ping'an said: "Do swallowing, like me!" After that, he made a demonstration and asked Li Ji to learn.
Li Ji struggled to imitate him and began to swallow his mouth!
Chapter completed!
