Volume 1 Covering the Sky with One Hand Chapter 62 Banquet
Looking at the map and military camp divisions carved on the sand on the ground, Liang Fenghou couldn't help but raise his eyes and look at Liu Shuoyun. They had known each other for so many years, and behind every act he did arbitrarily, there was Liu Shuoyun's meticulous and careful mind.
arrange.
Like spears and shields, offense and defense, Liang Fenghou was always the former, and Liu Shuoyun was content with the latter. This sincere dedication made Liang Fenghou fall into silence while listening to Liu Shuoyun's story.
There seemed to be some changes in his eyes when he looked at Liu Shuoyun. It was a taboo suppressed deep in his heart, an emotion that transcended friendship. It was also something he didn't want to ask about and was worried that once the current relationship was broken, the two would completely separate.
impulse.
He suppressed it, suppressed it with difficulty.
"This route should be the most suitable." While Liang Fenghou was in trance, Liu Shuoyun finished talking about the plan, and then he twirled his beard and muttered, "As for manpower——"
"I'm going!"
A muffled shout made everyone on the school field look at each other.
It was a soldier. He took a few steps forward, knelt down on one knee, and said sternly: "Young man is a scout. It would be most appropriate for you to follow the Captain on this trip!"
The military officials approached Liu Shuoyun and said, "These are the scouts who withdrew with the Trumpet Camp some time ago."
Liang Fenghou looked down at the soldiers kneeling in front of him and said, "Do you know that life or death in this trip is uncertain?"
"Young men are not afraid!" The soldier looked up at Liang Fenghou, "The man with the handle is not afraid of death, then he is called a man!"
"Good! You are brave." Liang Fenghou praised him, "Take off your helmet, tell your name and let the military officials write it down. If this kid dies in the battle, I will take care of your family members from now on."
The soldier took off his helmet, revealing a cheek that was darkened by the scorching sun, and said, "Thank you, sir. The young one is the scout of the scout camp, Heizi!"
The military officials holding the book and taking notes took notes, but at this moment, several soldiers in the school field stepped forward and knelt down, and they all said sharply: "We are all scouts, and we are willing to go with you on this trip!"
"Remember everything." As Liang Fenghou spoke, he turned sideways and glanced at Cui Yingong, who was enjoying the cool weather under the city gate. "This is a fucking man who stands upright!"
Cui Yingong stopped wiping sweat with his hand. He smiled awkwardly at Liang Fenghou, then lowered his head and did not dare to look at him.
Liu Shuoyun understood that Liang Fenghou was putting pressure on Cui Yingong. After all, the reputation of the Forbidden Army in the west of the city was not very good. Most of them were people who were just messing around with their money and acting on the wind.
Such recruits are used to sweet treats and are not easy to train.
"Soldiers are valuable and quick, so it won't be too late." Liang Fenghou looked around at the scout team in front of him, "Order."
All the soldiers clasped their fists and bowed in salute, shouting loudly: "Here!"
Liang Fenghou got on his horse. The eagle fluttered in the air for a while, then landed back on his shoulder. He said concisely and concisely: "Get on your horse and follow me out of the fortress."
"Here!"
All the soldiers responded, and immediately led their horses and stood up.
Liang Fenghou led the scout team to ride to the city gate where they left the fortress. The soldiers on both sides stepped forward and quickly resisted the crossbar.
In this gap, several sounds of horse hoofbeats came from behind them, and Liang Fenghou looked back.
"Lord Captain." Liu Taijing clasped his fists and saluted, "I heard that your Excellency is going to the fortress to explore the enemy's situation. If you are brave enough, I would like to go with you."
"The army has to rely on Zuo Cheng for all supplies. The desert is very windy and sandy, and foreign invaders and Canaanites are rampant. It is very dangerous." Liang Fenghou hugged his fists, "Master Liu should stay in the pass to deal with the replacement of armor.
good."
"Before leaving the capital, Master Wu of the Kao Gong Ling specifically asked the subordinate to confirm the armor and weapons of the Manhongguan soldiers during this trip." Liu Taijing rode his horse closer, "The subordinate has entrusted these things to his subordinates.
It’s done, but I just heard from the brothers that there is a foreign vassal coming from outside the wall. Your Excellency, the weapons of the foreign vassal are strange. I want to take a look at it together and think about it. It is best to submit it to the master in person when I return to the capital in the next day, so that I can build a new one.
Style weapons."z.br
Liang Fenghou looked at Liu Taijing in silence. He looked at it for a while, nodded slightly, and said, "In that case, you can follow the team on this trip. If you are in danger, you can leave first."
Liu
He bowed his head in front of the stage mirror and smiled softly, saying, "Thank you, sir. I'll be lowering my rank."
Liang Fenghou approached and said, "This trip is dangerous. If something happens to you, I won't be able to explain to Miss Yu."
"Miss Zhen is a smart person, and she will be able to move forward without any hindrance." Liu Taijing pulled up the reins, "Besides, Miss Liang Duwei and Liu Weishi are under her command, and there are no worries about big things happening."
.Furthermore, within Chongdu, Miss Zhen must have already started the layout and arranged the manpower."
"He was originally one of Miss Liang Fenghou's men." The eagle on Liang Fenghou's shoulder stared at Liu Taijing along with its owner, "But when I was in Yanzhou, I saw him walking very close to you."
Liu Tai smiled without changing his expression and said, "We are just like-minded."
At this moment, just as the words fell, the heavy city gate slowly opened, the scorching sun hung high in the desert, and a strong wind blew towards my face. The fishy wind carried some sand grains, and the war horses shook their heads and beat.
There was a snort.
"Since we are like-minded." Liang Fenghou withdrew his breathtaking gaze and turned around to tighten the reins, "Then let's walk together, drive!"
"Huha!!!"
The scouts shouted in unison, and as soon as the reins were released, the war horses kicked off their hooves, and the sound of the hooves was like thunder!
The eagle on Liang Fenghou's shoulders took the lead in leaping forward, flapping its wings vigorously and leaping into the cloudless sky, then spread out and soared into the sky.
The wind and sand hit each other head on, but it did not change the resolute face at all. Heizi looked at the desert in the distance, thinking anxiously in his heart.
Lord Jiaohe, you must stay alive!
The team rushed into the desert, and the city gate slowly closed.
An eagle calls.
At dusk, people were coming and going on Dongmen Street in Waijiucheng. Amid enthusiastic shouts, two carriages arrived at Qingfeng Tower one after the other.
The servant honestly tightened the reins and stopped the carriage, and then carefully helped Chen Jinqiu get out of the carriage.
Chen Jinqiu got out of the car and looked up at the restaurant, which was only three stories high. A warm smile gradually appeared on his calm face.
The accompanying white man is wearing a rustic white shirt and holding a white paper fan, showing his original jade tree-like wind.
"Bai Yi, I feel at ease as I have you with me on this trip." Chen Jinqiu said in a familiar voice, "The people here tonight are all the old men in the prison. You and I are both juniors, so don't imitate the businessman's advice.
Like a pot of wine."
"Tonight's banquet is an invitation from your lord, please bear this in mind." Bai Yi opened the paper fan with a snap, "In honor of my boss, Bai Yi will listen to your instructions and I will not dare to miss your lord's business."
The furnishings of Qingfeng Building are simple, and there is an elegance inside and out. This restaurant is a gathering place for literati in Chongdu. Dignitaries and dignitaries occasionally come and go and have a drink here. It is a place where friends can gather and talk.
.
The waiter dressed up as a bookboy, looked very polite, and raised his hand to guide the two of them upstairs.
"We are gathering tonight, we are not going to talk about official business, so you don't need to be so reserved." Chen Jinqiu walked up the stairs, "Of course, the bosses are not pedantic people, so you don't have to be too polite. Otherwise, if outsiders see it and spread the word, we will be criticized.
Pretending, you are pretending to be powerful."
Baiyi shook the paper fan lightly, nodded and said "yes".
The two of them were led up to the third floor by the waiter. When they arrived in front of the private room, Chen Jinqiu took a closer look and his smile froze a bit.
There were three large banquet tables in the private room on the third floor, but there was only one table of guests sitting at the moment. These people were eating, drinking, and laughing in the chat room, and talked about naughty things from time to time. When they heard the footsteps at the door, they all turned to look.
When I saw Chen Jinqiu, they all stood up cautiously.
Chen Jinqiu recognized the guests at this table. Most of them were from poor families, and they were all new officials who had just been in prison for a few years. He had met these people before when he was working in prison, and they were quite playful, but that was
It happened when Chen Pinggang was here.
Chen Jinqiu straightened his clothes and stepped into the private room. He bowed his hands and said, "Jin Qiu is honored that you can come tonight and be invited to give Chen a three-point noodles. Everyone, please sit down, please sit down."
All the young officials returned the courtesy and said inconsistently: "Your Excellency, you are too polite."
Everyone sat down, Chen Jinqiu winked at Bai Yi first, then smiled again,
Chatting with a group of young officials.
Baiyi snapped the paper fan shut, and without saying a word, he pulled the waiter to the corner of the aisle, and asked: "The banquet was originally scheduled to start at Xu hour, but now it's the end of You hour, why are there so many people here? Where are those old ladies?"
The waiter lowered his hands respectfully and said: "Sir, I have never met any old master. Yesterday, the master came to the private room that he had reserved. The restaurant specially made room for him. For this matter, many masters in the building had to leave.
"Where's the deposit? And, look outside, here." The waiter pouted at the door, "The shopkeeper also asked me to go to the stable to rent a carriage and prepare it, but he was worried that the adults would be drunk and wanted to give it away.
go back."
Bai Yi looked at the carriage waiting by the door and shook his head helplessly.
"Son, this table..." The waiter observed his words intelligently, "Is it still open?"
Bai Yi held a paper fan and tapped it on his palm, saying, "Waiting, let the cook prepare food, I want fresh food."
The waiter nodded respectfully and said, "Well, I'll go and let you know."
The waiter hurried downstairs, while Bai Yi stared at the door and frowned. He walked uneasily and did not go in when he reached the door of the private room. He just glanced at Chen Jinqiu inside the big room.
Chen Jinqiu saw it, and when he turned around, he poured some tea into the cup without touching the wine on the table. He chatted happily with a group of young and poor officials, and the smile on his face was always there, but the hands on his knees were tightened.
robe.
Bai Yi walked a few steps in the corridor, then went downstairs and waited in front of the door after a while. He glanced uneasily at the flow of people on the street, stopping to look for those old figures.
This wait lasts for an hour.
At half past midnight, a dozen old people in ordinary clothes walked slowly to the front of Qingfeng Tower while talking.
Bai Yi recognized the identities of these people at a glance. They were old officials from the prison.
"My lords, I've been waiting here for a long time." The white man smiled brightly and extended his arms toward the door, "Master Chen is upstairs, please come in."
When these old men saw Baiyi, they all returned the gift, but they were all silent.
Chapter completed!
