Eight hundred and sixty-first chapters of the way
Li Gui saluted these soldiers with great gratitude, which was exactly the same as a star-chasing clan who would see his idol in the future.
Under the leadership of the soldiers, Li Gui was able to easily enter the Public Security Port and head towards Liu Bei's mansion.
Li Gui and his friends brought a large pile of fish and shrimp to Liu Bei's mansion. Of course, they were taken to the back door by the soldiers. The soldiers in charge of defending the mansion stopped them at a glance. The soldiers who brought Li Gui and the others here told the reason.
Originally, Li Gui and the others couldn't get in, but at this time, a person appeared. This person was a servant sent by Jian Yong to purchase ingredients. Since Liu Yu wanted to have a big banquet for guests, he needed a lot of meat. However, the Public Security Port did not give all the idle people in today, resulting in not many things on the market. Although some were purchased before, the ingredients were not enough. Jian Yong, who was in charge of all the matters, immediately asked his servant to find a way to solve the problem. The servant almost transferred the Public Security Port, and the few things he could buy were pitifully small. When he returned, he saw a lot of people carrying a basket of fish and shrimps. After asking carefully, he realized that this was automatically given to Liu Bei by the people.
When someone wanted to fall asleep, someone sent a pillow. When the food was insufficient, the servant asked Li Gui and the others to send all the fish and shrimps in without saying a word. The soldiers at the door felt that it was inappropriate and wanted to stop and check it, but they were scolded by the servant.
"You are blind. I don't know that these people are grateful to the emperor's uncle for his kindness. Where can anyone turn away the gift-giving gifts? If the emperor blames him, how many brains do you have?" The servant only thought of his own mission and ignored the dangers in it.
It's true that this servant's appearance of a fox and a tiger's power made the guardian's soldiers dare not take any action. But it was too dangerous to enter such a hundred people. The soldiers insisted that they could only allow about twenty people to enter, and the others were waiting outside the door.
Li Gui knew that so many of them would definitely not be suitable for entering, so he immediately agreed. At the same time, Li Gui quietly gave the remaining spies a wink, indicating that once they received the news from inside, they would immediately come in and cooperate with each other.
So Li Gui and the others entered Liu Bei's mansion very smoothly.
Li Gui smiled in his heart and said, "This is really God helping me."
Li Gui and the others turned left and right, and came to the kitchen. It was already very busy, and they were all busy preparing for the banquet to be held later. Li Gui and the others came with so many fish and shrimps, which attracted everyone's attention. Li Gui smiled and put the fish and shrimps in front of them, and then he found a seat to sit down by himself.
Then the fish and shrimp were taken away by Liu Bei's servants who were responsible for preparing food, and they all started to get busy.
A middle-aged man who seemed to be in charge came here. Obviously, his current progress made him very dissatisfied and urged: "What are you doing? The emperor's banquet is about to begin, but why haven't you prepared all the food yet? This is a big deal, you have to speed up."
These servants want to be fast, but they have so many people, and they can't go anywhere if they want to be fast.
The in charge suddenly discovered the existence of Li Gui and the others. The number 20 people suddenly sat on the side. This formation made people not want to be surprised.
"What are so many of you doing here? Why haven't I seen you before? How did you come in? People come, blow them out!" The manager said with dissatisfaction.
The servant who brought Li Gui and the others in hurriedly explained: "Master, these people came to give gifts to the emperor's uncle. They sent enough fish and shrimp, and the quality was first-class. We cannot ruin the emperor's reputation, and we must not rush them out."
The in charge now knows why Li Gui and the others are here, so he said, "It's a great life for the emperor, so many people are not a solution here. If there is an accident, it will be a problem. Give them some gifts back and ask them all to go out."
Li Gui shouted inwardly, and if they were called out, the plan would change again.
Maybe today is Li Gui's lucky day. The servant who brought them in came to the side of the manager and said softly: "Master, we are short of staff now. Look at the banquet is about to begin soon. There are so many guests today, and it is difficult for the young to complete the emperor's instructions at the speed of the young. It is inevitable that the emperor's uncle will blame him. So the young man thought, why not just let these people help here, seeing that they are all seeking life on the rivers, and this work will definitely be easy."
This goes to the heart of the manager. If you cannot prepare all the food in time, then Liu Bei will definitely be embarrassed. Liu Bei has always wanted to save face, and he will definitely be furious if he loses his face. At that time, the manager who is responsible for this matter will definitely not be able to take care of it.
"You guy is smart enough. Let's leave this matter to you." The manager is very good at instructing his servants to do things.
The servant came to Li Gui and the others with a powerful force and said, "Everyone, thank you very much for coming to give gifts today. As for the gifts, I will accept them on behalf of the emperor. I will definitely tell the emperor to the emperor at that time."
"You are polite, this young man. The young man is just grateful for the kindness of the emperor's uncle back then. Unfortunately, the young man has limited abilities, otherwise he could do more things for the emperor's uncle." Li Gui's ears were very good. Of course, he heard the conversation between the manager and the servant, so his eyes turned and thought of the next plan.
The servant secretly praised Li Gui for his advance, and before he could say that he had just arrived at his door.
"You are really touching. In fact, there is a chance to share your worries for the Emperor's uncle. You all see it. Today is the day when the Emperor's uncle adopts his adopted son. We servants are also favored by the Emperor's uncle. They all use all their strength to do things for the Emperor's uncle. Unfortunately, there is insufficient staff and it is almost delaying the Emperor's good things." The servant said in a pretense.
Li Gui smiled and said, "Young Master is wrong. Why are these young people around twenty people? Today, they have been lucky enough to enter the imperial uncle's mansion to gain a favor. Now the emperor has difficulties. At least the young people have some strength. Some fine work cannot be done. But the rough work of serving vegetables and water can be done. The young people still want to see the emperor's style again with their own eyes."
"You are so loyal and brave, so I'll trouble you." Only a fool would refuse if there is free labor.
The manager was so happy to see that he could handle it so easily. With so many people joining, Liu Bei's banquet would definitely not be delayed. The most important thing is that he doesn't need a penny of wages. The manager thinks that Li Gui and the others will want to get him their wages in the future, so don't blame the manager for turning against him.
Li Gui asked his subordinates to join in without saying a word, and kept winking with them. The spies understood some things from Li Gui's eyes.
With the help of Li Gui and others, the work efficiency of the entire kitchen has been greatly improved.
Li Gui took out a can of medicine powder from his arms when others were not paying attention and put it in all the wine jars.
"Liu Bei, don't you like to add medicine in wine? Today I will let you clear your stomach and intestines and let all of you know the feeling of being drugged." Li Gui said lewdly.
"It's a pity that when I set out from Luoyang, I didn't expect such a thing to happen. If I brought those things with me, Liu Bei's group would be all right. What a pity!" Li Gui was very upset.
This time, Li Gui did not bring the terrifying poison from the "Secret" with him, but he still found some laxatives. In desperation, Li Gui planned to make everyone attending Liu Bei's banquet clear their stomachs, and in the end they were all weak. Li Gui became much more relaxed when he started to move. However, Li Gui hoped that he would put poisons, but unfortunately, who told him to forget this point? Other spies also had some sweating drugs, laxatives and other things on hand. Under Li Gui's secret signal, they quietly mixed into the food in the absence of help. Liu Bei's servants were all busy and didn't notice this at all. Perhaps even Liu Bei would not predict that Li Gui and the others could lurk here.
This is to treat the person's body by his own way.
Liu Bei's side has reached its final climax.
In front of all the guests who came to attend the ceremony, Kou Feng had already bowed three times and kowtowed to Liu Bei and completed a series of etiquettes. Only Liu Bei, the man, would make this matter so severe.
Liu Yu smiled and helped Kou Feng up, and announced in public that Kou Feng became his adopted son, and entered Liu Bei's family genealogy with him. After that, Kou Feng changed his name to Liu Feng.
"Congratulations to Uncle Liu for his dear son." The guests continued to celebrate Liu Bei.
But this sounded a bit awkward. Liu Bei felt a little sad inside. It would be great if he could really have a biological son.
Liu Bei brought Liu Feng to his subordinates and guests one by one. Liu Feng also followed Liu Bei very obediently, as if he was really Liu Bei's son.
Looking at Liu Feng's appearance, everyone present praised him as a hero and a young man, and Liu Bei had a successor.
Liu Bei was also very comfortable when he heard this. He probably couldn't give birth to a son. After having Liu Feng, Liu Bei felt much more at ease.
Liu Feng was excited. Not long ago, he was forced by the Kou family, and his family property was taken away, so he almost fell on the streets. Liu Feng, who was helpless, really felt that the sky had fallen. But fate was just like this. When Liu Feng was very desperate, Liu Bei appeared and wanted to accept him as his adopted son. Until now, Liu Feng felt that he was in a dream. If Liu Feng hadn't pinched him a few times and felt the pain, Liu Feng would have thought it was a dream. From being helpless to becoming the heir of a prince, such a life would be stranger if it weren't for his dream.
Liu Feng also knew what he was going to do now. Liu Bei is now his father, so it would be right to obey Liu Bei's words.
Seeing that Liu Feng was so well-behaved, Liu Bei completely met his inner definition of his son.
Now that the etiquette that should be gone is completed, we have now entered the last step. Let’s eat and drink together to end today’s ceremony.
"Come on, serve wine and food!" Liu Bei waved his hand.
At this time, with the help of Li Gui and others, the back kitchen had just prepared all the food. The manager breathed a sigh of relief, and the result was the best.
Li Gui and the others quietly returned to the bamboo pole they had just picked. There were their weapons hidden here, so they were waiting to attack later.
The manager saw that Li Gui and the others found a place to rest after finishing their work. In his eyes, he felt that these people were really good people. After doing things, he didn't say a word. It was really rare to find a place to rest by himself. At least in the eyes of the manager, Li Gui and the others were like this.
As the saying goes, one should pay attention to morality. Those who are in charge of affairs are really a bit disgusted and don’t let others help for nothing. So he arranged some arrangements and prepared some water and food for Li Gui and the others, which was called to have fun with Liu Huangshu. Although it was a little simpler, it was a bit of a heart. Of course, Li Gui and the others would not refuse. Li Gui and the others also wanted to have a good rest and recover their physical strength as soon as possible.
The wine and food came up soon. When Liu Bei saw the wine and food on the table, he was very satisfied. In this era, people paid great attention to diet. The superiors ate meat, the second one ate fish, and the second one ate vegetables. The people usually live on vegetables and coarse grains. Especially in troubled times, it would be good to eat a bite. The ruling class is also called meat eaters, which are common in ancient and modern times. When Liu Yu came to the next generation, he was a bit different. Most of his diet was mainly vegetables, because Liu Yu knew that eating too much meat would cause various physical discomforts, and a reasonable diet would be healthy and long-lived.
The key point is that this result made the ministers under Liu Yu think that His Majesty is saving now. The emperor is all shy about saving for this troubled times. How could those who are ministers be extravagant? With the help of the ups and downs, a stream of clear water appeared in the Shenwu court. The loyal and talented people lamented that Liu Yu was kind and determined to learn from His Majesty. Those ministers who usually had no ability and rely on some reasons to settle in the court have also restrained a lot and could not make meritorious contributions. They did not want to have a handle to send them to the hostile people when everyone was learning from Liu Yu.
This effect is something that Liu Yu didn't know.
There is meat and fish on the table now. It is very suitable for Liu Bei and others. Everyone present is either rich or noble, and they are all well-known figures. Of course, they are very particular about diet.
Although Liu Bei was satisfied, he felt that so many dishes were costing a little too much. Liu Bei looked at Jian Yong as if inquiring. Jian Yong had already learned the situation from his subordinates, and gently came to Liu Bei and told Liu Bei about the spontaneous contribution of fish and shrimps to Liu Bei. Liu Bei was very moved. It seemed that the benevolence and righteousness he had always praised was right, and now he saw the results. How many princes in the world can make the people automatically contribute? Liu Bei felt that he could be proud.
Liu Bei was in a good mood knowing that his pocket was not injured.
But he didn't know that the delicious food and wine served were all served by Li Gui and the others, and it would be exciting later. (To be continued)
