I am in Water Margin, I, Ximen Qing, stir-fry Pan Jinlian

Not long after Brother Qiao Yun left, Ximen Qing also led Tang Long out of the hotel and headed towards the Lion Bridge Restaurant.

As soon as the distinguished guest Ximen Qing arrived, the owner of the restaurant and the waiter immediately received him warmly and filled the table with a variety of fine wines and delicacies.

As a man who makes a living by blacksmithing, when has Tang Long ever enjoyed such a sumptuous banquet?

Facing the table full of delicious food, Tang Long was so happy that the pockmarks on his face seemed to bloom. He expressed his gratitude to Ximen Qing:"Official, how can an ordinary person like me endure such warm hospitality from you?"

"Brother Tanglong, you are too modest! Ximen Qing replied,"You are an upright hero, how can you not deserve to enjoy these fine wines?" To tell you the truth, I am short of time today, so I can only ask you to eat as much as you like here. When you follow me back to Ximen Castle, I will host a banquet and entertain you until we get drunk!"

"I will definitely remember the deep friendship between the officials."Tang Long said.

In the restaurant, Ximen Qing and Tang Long drank for a long time and discussed in detail many topics about ironmaking and making weapons and armor.

Tang Long inherited the blacksmith skills of several generations of his family and was not inferior in this aspect. From his father.

He knew how to forge iron and how to make various weapons and armor, which made Ximen Qing very satisfied.

In this era, skilled craftsmen are the most precious wealth.

After a conversation with Ximen Qing , Tang Long was deeply impressed by Ximen Qing's talent and knowledge, and was even a little surprised.

Because Ximen Qing introduced to him many concepts of weapons, armor and iron-making technology that appeared later, which gave him great inspiration.

Although currently The craftsmanship is limited, and it may not be possible to completely replicate these new weapons and armors, but these suggestions are undoubtedly of great value to Tang Long in improving the blacksmithing skills of this era.

Ximen Qing, slightly drunk with mellow wine, made a series of staggering The concept of weapons ranges from"Spanish spear" to"English longbow", from"European knight's plate armor" to"matchlock gun""、"flintlock musket"、""Rifle Bayonet" and even"Bronze Smoothbore Cannon" poured out one after another, like a feast of knowledge.

Tang Long was dumbfounded when he heard it, and almost forgot the mellow taste of the food in his mouth.

This seemingly inconspicuous long conversation, in the course of time, A seed of innovation was quietly planted in the torrent, which is destined to take root and sprout in this era and lead the trend of science and technology.

Ximen Qing has a unique vision and selected Tang Long as his ideal successor, expecting that this seed can transcend the times. shackles, leading the direction of future science and technology.

The wisdom and skills of the craftsmen of the Song Dynasty will become the key to determining the progress of the times.

With in-depth communication, the mutual appreciation and admiration between Ximen Qing and Tang Long deepened day by day.

In the end, under the influence of alcohol, Catalysed by this, the two became brothers of the opposite sex. This dialogue not only changed their personal destiny, but also subtly affected the context of the entire era.

……

Ximen Qing extended an olive branch to Tang Long and invited him to Ximen Fort's blacksmith shop.

He hoped that Tang Long could recruit more craftsmen, expand the size of the blacksmith shop, and be responsible for the research and development of the weapons and armor needed.

Tang Long had already regarded Ximen Qing as a rare hero in the world and agreed to his invitation without hesitation.

He swore to Ximen Qing that he would follow him loyally and serve the high officials from now on.

After drinking and eating, Ximen Qing asked Tang Long to go back to the hotel to pack his bags, and together they left the city and returned to Ximen Fort.

Riding slowly under the influence of alcohol, they arrived at Simon's Castle before sunset.

When the news of Ximen Qing's return to Ximen Fort spread, the old supervisor Ximen Fu, as well as Luan Tingyu, Jiao Ting and other brave men came out to greet him.

Seeing that Ximen Qing had brought another hero, everyone congratulated him.

After Ximen Qing introduced Tang Long to everyone, he entered the castle and asked the old manager to arrange a feast and spend a happy time with everyone. He originally wanted his sister Ximen Xin to attend the banquet in order to coordinate, but she declined.

The servant sent to deliver the message came back and reported that the second young lady had friends with her and would not attend the banquet. Ximen Qing thought that his sister might be shy, but he did not delve into it deeply.

At this time, Ximen Qing had no time to think about anything else and decided to have a drink with everyone and enjoy this happy time!

……

Ximen Qing was at the banquet, his eyes bright and he scanned around excitedly.

Luan Tingyu, Jiao Ting, Hong Zhen, Shi Yong, Tang Long - five strong heroes gathered together with extraordinary momentum.

If you add Lu Xiaoyi who has not yet returned and Brother Qiao Yun who stayed in Yanggu, he already has seven capable assistants who are good at fighting.

Compared with when he first arrived alone, he was now powerful and powerful.

Now I can be considered to have a large number of soldiers! Ximen Qing thought proudly.

With the current lineup, even Wu Erlang, who was one against ten thousand on Jingyanggang, would not be able to take advantage.

In the past month or so, Wu Song's reputation has been overwhelming, making him feel even more stressed.

Now, after days of running around and managing, Ximen Qing finally has the confidence to confront Wu Song head-on, and the burden on his heart has been lifted.

In the relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, Ximen Qing felt that his drinking capacity seemed to increase with his mood.

He and the five heroes went back and forth, toasted frequently, and drank a lot of fine wine.

Although Ximen Qing's drinking capacity has far exceeded that of ordinary people after time travel, the alcohol content of Song Dynasty's wine is not high after all.

Under the enthusiastic toasts and continuous attacks by Luan Tingyu and others, even he gradually felt overwhelmed, and unknowingly he was already sixty-seven points drunk.

As the night got darker, all the heroes were full of wine and food, and each of them stood up unsteadily and gradually dispersed.

With the support of his servant, Ximen Qing staggered back to his bedroom to seek temporary peace.

In this grand Simon Castle, he suddenly realized that there was no woman who could take care of his nights and serve his daily life considerately.

""I, the high official, will visit this castle frequently in the future," he thought,"and it's time to arrange for a woman to come here to provide me with night comfort.""

Pan Jinlian was mourning Wu Dalang and obviously couldn't get away. Ximen Qing sighed in his heart and regretted not taking Liu Piaopiao into his concubine earlier and placing her in this fort.

With the wish of failure, Ximen Qing returned to his room, and the two A young servant served him to complete the simple washing. He fell heavily on the bed. When you are deeply drunk, a person will fall asleep unconsciously and forget everything around him.

However, Ximen Qing drank just right tonight, and his drunkenness made him stagger. , but his consciousness was still there.

He was lying on the bed, feeling like a fire was ignited in his body, and it was difficult to fall asleep no matter what. The dry throat prompted him to get up, and he hurriedly drank a few sips of cold tea in an attempt to To calm the heat in his heart.

But this temporary move failed to bring him the comfort he expected, and he lay back on the bed again.

Ximen Qing rolled back and forth on the bed, his heart full of restlessness, unable to calm down, and sleep was still out of reach.
