Part Three, Chapter Thirteen, Hiding the Knife in a Smile 1
[69 Book Bar-www.] When it was dawn, the convoy sent by He Congjing came to Muyuguan. People said that He Congjing was inspecting military affairs in the army today, and the last round of negotiations was also held in the military camp. Ding Ximing
Without doubt, I was thinking about what Zheng Zhao said yesterday.
Zheng Zhao was hesitant and vague, just to ask me to be careful. The powerful faction in Wuyang City is now known as the seven-day general. Four of these seven-day generals are the original remnants of the Republican Army. The only one who really belongs to He Congjing's subordinates is Ding He Henry
.Fang Ruoshui and another young general named He Butian. He Butian is another distant nephew of He Congjing, and one of the two most trusted generals among the seven days. Four of the seven days oppose the joining forces.
The biggest reason is that the Imperial Army has no combat effectiveness and is not an opponent of the Snake Man at all. Joining forces with the Imperial Army will only have a hundred disadvantages but no benefits. The last difficulty Zheng Zhao mentioned is probably the opposition in the army. It is just a civil servant.
Different, the generals in the army cannot be convinced by words alone, they may have to challenge me. I couldn't do anything about the previous verbal battle, but today I can't beat the other party by words. Today's negotiation
Maybe my role will be even greater than Ding Ximing.
As soon as we entered the military camp, we saw a large platform set up in front of the military field, holding a large parasol. He Congjing was sitting there with a few people. Ding Ximing looked around and whispered to me: "Chu
General, why did Lord He come here to negotiate?"
This place is open air, and the military field is bare and there are not many trees, so it is naturally uncomfortable. I whispered: "Mr. Ding, he wants to see our strength."
Ding Ximing was stunned and said, "If there are so many of them, can you do it?"
I laughed secretly. Now He Congjing has already decided to complete the negotiations, and it is not about taking us down with heavy troops. I said, "It won't matter, Lord Ding, please rest assured."
The seven-day generals in Wuyang City are indeed well-known, but the first Ding Henry may not be able to beat me. No matter how powerful their soldiers are, they will not have elite troops in the vanguard camp, and the vanguard camp still has eight formation maps. At this time, Ding Henry
He came over with the two men, and was far away. Ding Henry smiled and said, "Mr. Ding, General Chu, you are here, please sit down."
Ding Henry was wearing light armor today, his blue eyes reflected in the rising sun, and his light was shining everywhere, making him look even more handsome and extraordinary. I saluted him immediately and said, "Good General Ding." Ding Ximing did not answer the greeting, but said, "
General Ding, please lead the way." He probably felt that his age was not comparable to Ding Henry, so there was no need to be too polite. Ding Henry didn't think it was offended and smiled and said, "Please come with me, the city lord is waiting for the two."
The "two" he said was not polite. They had seen Ding Ximing's argument, but they had not seen many swords and guns. He Congjing must also want to know how powerful the Imperial Army is.
Without saying anything, he followed Ding Henry forward. Qian Wenyi and Tang Kai followed me closely. As my deputy generals, they could not attend, but they had to follow him. When we got on the seat, Ding Henry
After retreating, He Congjing was already sitting upright in his seat. When he saw us coming, he stood up and said, "Mr. Ding, General Chu, please sit down. You are disrespectful, and you really don't respect you."
He said it was "disrespectful", but in fact, the cups and plates on the seat were extremely rich. Wuyangcheng had a heavy appetite for the mouth and belly, and the food was excellent in the world. The food was also extremely exquisite. There were some dried fruits and exquisite desserts on the table.
, There are many flavors, although each serving is not large in quantity, the color, fragrance and taste are excellent, and there are endless streams. There is also a jade pot in front of each seat. This pot is translucent and contains a pot of green wine.
The color faintly reveals through the wall of the pot, like a piece of jasper, which is extremely beautiful.
When we sat down, He Congjing poured a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Please use it. Let the two adults laugh." He smiled and raised the glass first. I picked up the cup and sipped it.
After a sip, I felt that the wine was very different from before. It was so cold that it was so cold that it felt cool in my chest and abdomen. Ding Ximing took a sip and sighed: "What a good wine. Lord He, what kind of wine is this?"
He Congjing said: "Mr. Ding has been in the imperial capital for a long time and probably hasn't seen this kind of wine. This kind of wine is called Qinbilan Sauce, which is not made of ordinary brewing. There is a flower with very little output in the isolated islands on the sea here.
It's called Qinbilan."
Ding Ximing said: "So it's made of nectar, right?"
He Congjing smiled and said, "No. Qinbilan grows on the cliffs and is difficult to find. Although this kind of flower grows very beautifully, its nectar is highly poisonous. However, there is an ice bee on the sea, but it makes
Eggs are laid in Qinbilan, and they have grown up by sucking the nectar of Qinbilan since childhood until they become adults. The larvae of the ice bee is called the Bilan maggot. Although they consume poisonous honey, they are not poisonous, and there is a
Characteristics: it melts when it encounters salt. The seaguard takes the marigold maggots and puts them in a porcelain bottle. Sprinkle a small pinch of salt while it is fresh. After half a day, the marigold maggots will turn into this marigold wine."
Is this actually a maggot? Although it sounds a bit disgusting, I don’t feel uncomfortable when I see the wine being extremely clean. Ding Ximing sighed: “The world is so big, it’s really amazing. If I hadn’t come to Wuyang City with my own hands.
, I’m afraid that such a fine wine is unheard of.”
Ding Ximing said: "Because the cold is too cold, it is only suitable for drinking in summer. Lord Ding and General Chu, drinking this Qinbilan sausage with this sea sausage is the most delicious. Sea sausage is shellfish.
It is as long as three feet long and two inches thick as a round stick. It is originally the best seafood flavor, but the fishy smell is too strong, and people who can't get used to the seafood flavor will feel uncomfortable. But it matches the Qimbi Lan Sauce, but the fishy smell is
It can be converted into a strange fragrance, two adults might as well give it a try."
He pointed to a plate of snow-white silver shreds on the side. I don’t know what kind of fish meat this silver shred is, and it is cut very finely. However, the fish sashimi usually has to be seasoned with ginger and vinegar sauce, but the fish sashimi is nothing.
Before I added it, I smelled a fishy smell that was uncomfortable and thought that the people in Wuyang City were probably used to eating it, but I really couldn't eat it. I heard He Congjing say this, and I picked up a little bit in half belief and half doubt.
Put it in your mouth. As soon as you enter your mouth, you feel that the fish sashimi is made of ice, melting in your mouth, but the fishy smell is unbearable. I feel uncomfortable, but I feel a strange fragrance suddenly rises up at the tip of my tongue. I don’t feel any fishy in the blink of an eye
The taste is so fragrant.
Ding Ximing also took a bite and sighed, "Incredible! Incredible!" Perhaps he also found that these two things were so delicious that they were beyond imagination.
Today, He Congjing asked us to come to the army, naturally not to let us eat and drink. I sipped the yinbilan juice, and my eyes were already looking around in the corners. It was already dawn, and the military field was cleaned very clean.
The ground was probably over. Ding Ximing was still chatting with He Congjing at this time. At this time, seven horses suddenly came from one end, and Ding Henry was the one who took the lead.
What are they going to do? I was surprised, but I saw Ding Henry coming out from the crowd, coming to us, bowed immediately, and shouted: "City Lord, our army is ready, please review it."
He Congjing stood up. Ding Ximing and I also stood up from our seats and looked at the army. The army in Wuyang City is mainly naval army, but there are only more than a thousand people here, but they are all cavalry and military appearance.
