"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1297
"The taste of this hand-caught lamb chops is really good."
In a private room on the second floor of Mingyue Restaurant, Liu Yidao, deputy commander of the Qinghe Army, picked up a piece of tender mutton and put it in his mouth, and couldn't help but praise it.
Liu Yidao, the deputy commander of the Qinghe Army, commanded the First Field Army Corps to guard Daling Province, and he also ate a lot of grassland mutton.
However, compared to the rough and large pieces of hand-caught mutton on the grassland, the hand-caught mutton of Mingyue Restaurant is more delicate, and it is served with dipping sauce, which makes it have a special taste.
"This braised lion head is also good, try it."
Sitting opposite Liu Yidao, Meng Jianbo, deputy commander of the Qinghe Army, pointed to the braised lion head on the table.
"Well, yes, I didn't expect that the food and drinks at Mingyue Restaurant are better than those at Yunxi Restaurant."
Liu Yidao took another bite of the braised lion head. The soft and rotten lion head was fat but not greasy, and his articulate mouth was fragrant, which made him full of praise.
"Do you know who is the owner behind the Mingyue Restaurant?" Meng Jianbo asked mysteriously.
"I don't know this at all. Could it be that some big shot doesn't make it?"
Liu Yidao has just arrived in the imperial capital from Daling Province in the north, and this is his first visit to the imperial capital, so he really doesn't know who the owner of Mingyue Restaurant is.
"The Mingyue Restaurant is owned by the second wife." Meng Jianbo said in a low voice.
After Liu Yidao heard this, he suddenly realized that he had such a strong background.
You must know that the wife of Chen Ziang, who can be called the second wife by Meng Jianbo, is Chu Yue.
Although Chen Zi'ang has proclaimed himself emperor and founding a country, he has not actually been named a marquis or a general, nor has he given Chu Yue and Chen Xiaoyu titles.
Because Chu Yue married Chen Ziang later, all the generals now call her the second wife.
"Your Majesty has really found a good wife. The second lady not only knows how to spy on information, but also knows how to do business."
Hearing that Chu Yue was standing behind Mingyue Restaurant, Liu Yidao was also quite surprised, and looked at Chu Yue with admiration.
Deputy Commander Liu Yidao and Deputy Commander Meng Jianbo were both old men of the Qinghe Army, and they were equal to Chen Ziang.
However, Chen Ziang, a young hero, rose strongly and eventually became the third generation commander of the Qinghe Army.
These two former equals have also become Chen Ziang's subordinates. At first they were quite uncomfortable, but now they are completely convinced, and they are willing to work for Chen Ziang.
Now that the Marquis and General are about to be appointed, all kinds of gossips are flying all over the sky, so the two former brothers also get together and get close by the way.
After all, they are all old men of the Qinghe Army, and their relationship is closer than other people.
With the establishment of the empire, the Qinghe Army is no longer the same Qinghe Army as it used to be. The forest is getting bigger and you can only keep warm if you hold a group.
Therefore, the deputy commander Liu Yidao and the deputy commander Meng Jianbo also got together very tacitly, and they can be regarded as representatives of the old school.
When the two were exchanging greetings in the room, one of Liu Yidao's personal guards knocked lightly on the door twice, and after getting permission, he opened the door and entered.
"If you have anything to say directly, Brother Meng is not an outsider."
Seeing the guard who hesitated to speak, Liu Yidao spoke directly.
"Deputy Commander, Deputy Commander Li and Deputy Commander Yuan have also arrived at Mingyue Restaurant, in the private room on the third floor." Qin Wei reported.
Liu Yidao was taken aback when he heard that Li Lang and Yuan Jie, the deputy commanders, also went to Mingyue Restaurant for dinner.
"This Mingyue Restaurant is indeed a first-class restaurant in the imperial capital, and the direct descendants have gathered together."
Liu Yidao's complexion quickly returned to normal. After taking a sip from the wine glass, he burst out laughing.
Li Lang and Yuan Jie grew up in the old Jiuying. Compared with Liu Yidao and the others, they are the direct descendants of Chen Ziang.
Now that Li Lang and Yuan Jie are also getting together, Liu Yidao naturally knows that they also want to get close, just like them, they want to hug each other for warmth.
"Brother Meng, since we met, why don't we go up and toast them." Liu Yidao suggested.
Liu Yidao, as the deputy commander-in-chief, is also a veteran. For Li Lang, Yuan Jie and other rising stars, he can actually put on airs.
But he knew that he was from the old handsome line. If he wanted to gain a foothold in the court, he still had to have a good relationship with these direct lineages.
"Let's go. ???
Although Meng Jianbo is also the deputy commander, but now he is only assisting Li Qiye in managing logistics, and he knows that he has no hope of promotion, so he has no prejudice against these generals, anyway, he doesn't fight for anything.
Liu Yidao and Meng Jianbo went to the private room on the third floor together, which surprised Li Lang and the others.
Everyone knows that although they are all Qinghe Army, there are actually some differences between them, at least the difference between the direct line and the non-direct line.
Now that Liu Yidao and the others came up to toast, Li Lang and the others also stretched out their hands not to hit the smiling face, and accompanied Liu Yidao and the others to drink a few glasses with a smile.
"Brothers, eat and drink well. I invited this meal. I just hope that in the future, we brothers will work together and don't let outsiders fall into the prestige of our Qinghe army."
Liu Yidao exchanged a few words with Li Lang and the others, and after drinking a few sips of wine, they left with a smile instead of bothering them.
"Vice Marshal Liu may have drunk too much, so why are you talking nonsense?"
After Liu Yidao and the others left and returned to their private room, Yang Zhong couldn't help laughing.
"Deputy Marshal Liu is smart, how can he talk nonsense." Li Lang said with a smile.
"Then why did he suddenly say such an incoherent sentence, what does it mean that outsiders have fallen to the prestige of our Qinghe Army?" Yang Zhong was puzzled.
"Hahaha, what the hell, drink and drink."
Seeing people talking too much, Li Lang naturally couldn't explain it, so he picked up his wine glass and changed the topic.
Yang Zhong wanted to continue asking questions, but the deputy marshal Yuan Jie pulled his sleeves and stopped the topic.
Both Li Lang and Yuan Jie understood in their hearts that the reason why Liu Yidao said this was because they were all from the Qinghe Army, not to target them, but to unite and guard against outsiders.
Although Liu Yidao and the others belonged to the old commander's faction, not as good as the direct line, they were still from the Qinghe Army after all.
However, those who later entered the Qinghe army system were all half-way monks, and their origins were quite complicated, so they should be guarded against the most.
Li Lang and Yuan Jie, as army commanders, naturally understood Liu Yidao's implication, but Yang Zhong and others didn't react for a while, and didn't understand what it meant.
Liu Yidao and Meng Jianbo also had enough food and drink, returned to the private room and talked for a while before leaving.
Liu Yidao did not live in the official post, but sent someone to buy a house in the imperial capital, planning to start a family here in the future.
When he returned to his mansion, a personal guard officer who stayed behind at the mansion handed over an invitation.
"Deputy Marshal, the old Marshal sent someone to send an invitation card, please come to the house for a banquet tomorrow."
Liu Yidao couldn't help but frowned when he heard that it was the old handsome Chen Ru who invited him to the house for dinner.
"Reply to the letter, saying that I feel cold and can't go to the banquet, and I will go to visit the old man in person."
After pondering for a few seconds, Liu Yidao still decided not to go into this muddy water.
After all, Chen Ziang had a lot of trust in him, so he let him sit on one side and hold a heavy army.
Although Chen Ru has no real power now, his influence is still there after all, and his daughter is still Chen Ziang's eldest wife.
I used to be the subordinate of the old man Chen Ru, so if I go to the banquet by myself, I will inevitably be misunderstood.
If Chen Ziang heard any gossip from someone with a heart, he would probably feel cold. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
