Chapter Fifteen, The Scarlet Wedding Banquet

The person who spoke was naturally the old man of the Chen family.

As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Jia, who had always had a calm expression next to Fang Guang, couldn't help but look at Fang Guang, and the two of them laughed together.

Instead of being surprised, Guo Jia's eyes were full of relief.

"General Lu? Which General Lu? But that Lu Fengxian who stabbed Dong Ni to death under Chang'an City and killed countless people in front of Hulao Pass?"

Guo Jia made a fussing expression and deliberately asked loudly.

The head of the Chen family must have heard the name of General Lu, and Fang Guang and the generals in the Cao camp must have been frightened.

Unexpectedly, what they saw was the happy smiles of Guo Jia and Fang Guang.

He gritted his teeth and didn't know why his body was trembling.

"It's Lu Fengxian, General Lu! My Gongtai, together with General Chen Liu, Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao, Ji Yin and Wu Zi, are leading troops to this place!"

"There are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Bingzhou, but it only takes a few days to reach Dong'a!"

The head of the Chen family gritted his teeth as he spoke. Fang Guang, who was originally smiling, suddenly turned serious after hearing what he said.

"Come to Dong'a to serve as a filial piety. I don't seem to have heard Duke Ming say that he wanted a slave with a third surname like Lu Bu to come and help!"

"Without the order of the State Shepherd, I came uninvited. Can this matter be judged openly?"

Fang Guang put down the wine glass in his hand, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and with a cold smile on his lips, he turned his head and asked Guo Jiadao next to him.

"Under the laws of the Han Dynasty, without the order of state pastoralists, leading troops to violate the boundaries is a treasonous crime!"

"What's more, His Majesty has already had a decree in Chang'an. Lu Bu is a minister who conspired to rebel. What's wrong? Chen Gong and Zhang Miao got together with the rebels?"

At this time in Chang'an, Emperor Xian was in the hands of the Xiliang people, Lu Bu was defeated and escaped, and Li urged Guo Si to hate him to the core.

In 193 AD, there was not yet great chaos in Guanzhong, and the government decree came from Chang'an, so Lu Bu was naturally the most serious criminal among the imperial offenders!

Fang Guang and Guo Jia's words became more and more severe, which made the Chen family master, who relied on Lu Bu's power and wanted to intimidate Fang Guang and frighten Dong'a today, to tremble uncontrollably.

The guests in the hall were stunned when they heard what everyone said.

Hundreds of people watched with wide eyes as Fang Guang walked up to Cai Yan, who was wearing a hijab. He helped the bride pour wine and drank with her as if there was no one else around.

"Wen Ji, you are a rare and wonderful woman in the world. There are many talented women in the world who are getting married. Today, my husband wants to invite my wife to a wedding banquet that is rare in the world!"

"With your husband in charge alone, surrounded by evil guests and soldiers, such a wedding banquet is worthy of your hero!"

The newlyweds were talking to each other like no one else was watching, and a room full of scholars felt as if cold water had been poured over them.

As Fang Guang spoke, heavy footsteps slowly came from outside the hall.

Li Dian and Li Mancheng stood in the wedding banquet hall with a murderous look, dressed in military uniforms and with fifty armored men holding swords and axes.

Guo Jia looked at Fang Guang and Cai Wenji's face was full of admiration. His bohemian behavior was quite like the unruly style of later Jin Dynasty scholars. What he liked was Fang Guang's eclectic taste.

"Datong, I want to toast you, and my wife will also drink with you. The aroma of this wine will probably cover up the smell of blood in the hall for a while!"

After Guo Fengxiao finished speaking, he raised his head and drank a glass of turbid wine.

Fang Guang didn't say much, he raised his glass to Li Dianxu, and accompanied Cai Yan and Guo Jia, he drank several times the amount of wine in an instant.

With the drink in his stomach, he felt like his whole body was on fire, and his eyes were as hot as fire when he glanced at the crowd of scholars with ulterior motives.

"Captain Fang, Mr. Fengxiao, I am just helping Gongtai spread the word. Lord Zhang Miao, Gongtai and Lord Mengde are all old friends!"

"What you just said is... is there some misunderstanding?"

Seeing that the situation was not right, the master of the Chen family trembled and wanted to say something, but was silenced by Fang Guang's contemptuous eyes.

Everyone in the hall saw the former captain of the Yellow Turban Army take out a letter from his arms and read it in public with a sarcastic smile on his face.

"If the general comes south, I am willing to use the strength of the entire state to advance and retreat with the general!"

"Now Cao Cao's thieves are trapped in Xuzhou, and Yanzhou changes its owner. It's as easy as flipping the palm of your hand! General Gongtai begged General and Zhang Miao to come quickly and restore the Qingming Festival to the Central Plains!"

Fang Guang was reciting the letter. After reading a sentence, the body of the Chen family became shorter. By the time he finished reading, the Chen family had already sat down on the bench behind him.

Fang Guang casually placed the finished letter on the wine table.

"With such a wolf-like nature, how can we be close friends with Duke Ming? With such wolfish ambitions, the whole family will be punished!"

In the hall, when Fang Guang was halfway speaking, there were already tiger warriors beside Li Dian, holding down the trembling Chen family master like a sieve.

"Foreign enemies are attacking from the east. Today, Duke Ming is willing to hand over his clan's grain and private soldiers to guard Dongjun with us. This is a great achievement. When Duke Ming returns, everyone will be rewarded greatly!"

"Anyone who is willing to follow Chen Gong and Zhang Miao to rebel against the traitor should be killed here!"

"Mancheng, those who kneel down and beg for their lives shall not be killed!"

Guo Jia saw that the hall full of scholars, wealthy businessmen, and businessmen had dull expressions, and he couldn't help but shout.

The guests in the hall were all at war with each other. They were woken up by Guo Jia's shout, and half of them had already knelt down to worship.

The master of the Chen family was held down by the soldiers, and he knew in his heart that no one, including Fang and Guang, would spare him.

He was filled with despair. Seeing that most of the people who came with him were about to succumb to the soldiers, he had the courage to scream.

"Everyone! Dong'a Cao's army only has a thousand soldiers, Fang Guangda's four gates are open, and my family's public platform has long invited us to select the leading men and are coming here!"

"Lu Fengxian is a god in the world, and General Zhang Miao has enough food and supplies. Everyone, let's fight with Fang Guang!"

Reinforcements? Chen Gong also arranged for reinforcements to come to Dong'a?

The hall was full of scholars, wealthy businessmen, and when they heard the old man's desperate howl, they seemed to have seen a glimmer of hope.

Several scholars whose knees were about to touch the stone ground couldn't help but stop their waists again.

"Hahaha, hahaha, the four doors are open, but I'll wait until you can replenish my inner treasury in Dongjun!"

"I originally thought there would be several lines of forwards invited, but there are only two lines of miscellaneous soldiers!"

"Where is Dian Wei? Let me show you the traitor's head!"

Amidst Fang Guangdao's laughter, Dian Wei, who was like a dragon and a tiger under the pot behind the tent, strode into the hall with dozens of civilian dead soldiers with a ferocious smile on his face.

Most of the soldiers under Dian Wei's command were Fang Guang's old troops when he was in the Yellow Turban Army.

The old soldiers in yellow turbans are not good at wearing armor and fighting fiercely, but when they rush to attack in civilian clothes, they are the best in the world.

Under the command of Dian Wei, these people practiced the art of beheading, becoming more and more energetic every day, and they became the lightly-dressed dead soldiers in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

"Plop!"

The mountain-like Dian Wei walked to the middle of the hall, opened the backpack on his waist, took out the contents and threw them on the wine table in front of the Chen family.

"ah!"

"This...whose head is this?"

Following the screams of the scholar's female family members, two heads with wide eyes appeared in front of everyone.
