After Zheng Sheng passed, Wu Quan sat in the seat and immediately fell into deep thoughts.
Sure enough, he was not wrong. The news sent by Zheng Sheng on behalf of his brother just now also confirmed some of the information he had just obtained. Then Mou Bin was really unwilling to be lonely.
After so many people were invited, and most of them were figures in the personal army, Mou Bin may not be unable to be sure. Liu Chengfeng and Li Dongdong actually carried the sedan chair for Mou Bin together, and he was planning to let Mou Bin stand up and fight him.
Thinking of this, Wu Quan couldn't help but snorted coldly in his heart. So what if it was Li Dongdong and Liu Chengfeng? Since they were going to stand up, if they didn't fight back, they would be too weak.
Sitting in the study, Wu Quan thought for a moment, then called a manager in the mansion and said, "Did Commander Mou ask someone to inquire? How is it there?"
The manager said, "Sir, I've already inquired. It's still lively there now. Although the guests have not yet gone, it's really a big deal to do it."
Wu Quan smiled coldly and said, "Originally, I and him did not interfere with the river. Everyone is a personal army, and they are also his own family. However, this person made such a big noise, so he clearly wanted to give me some color.
, Humph, he is a little too arrogant. Go and find Wang Long."
Wang Long is the assistant minister of the flag bearer guard and Wu Quan's confidant. He is almost in harmony with Wu Quan. If Wu Quan can take office in the military office this time, the vacancy left by the flag bearer guard must be this Wang Long.
So Wu Quan trusted Wang Long very much, and Wang Long received a message from Wu Quan and immediately rushed over without stopping.
In front of Wu Quan, Wang Long seemed very respectful and bowed seriously, saying, "What are the instructions of sir?"
When he came in, Wu Quan was reading a book in his arms. When he saw Wang Long coming in, Wu Quan quickly put down the book kindly and said gently: "There is no need to be too polite to speak up. When I get here, where are there so many polite conspiracies?
Speaking, I have something to ask you."
Wang Long said thank you. He sat down with his butt, bowed to Wu Quan again, and said, "I wonder what sir, I have to ask?"
Wu Quan knocked slightly, knocked his finger on the desk and said carelessly: "Commander Mou has placed invitations everywhere and asked everyone to go to his place for a banquet. I believe you have received the invitation."
Except for him, Wu Quan, almost all the military officers of the personal army received an invitation, and Wang Long was no exception, but he was different from others. Wang Long was a hard-core Wu Quan confidant. When he heard Wu Quan ask about this, Wang Long
He immediately said solemnly: "I'm not hiding it from my lord. The official did receive an invitation." He secretly looked at Wu Quan's face, and then followed Wu Quan's wishes and said: "But what is Mou Bin? As for
Liu Chengfeng and Li Dongdong are just people who pretend to be powerful. The officials did not plan to go to the banquet. Regardless of whether others went or not, the officials made up their minds and wanted to see how they could win the officials.
.”
Whether his words were heartfelt or not, he took the opportunity to express his position to Wu Quan.
I thought Wu Quan would nod in satisfaction at this time, but Wu Quan's face became serious and said seriously: "No. You must not only not refuse, but also prepare a gift and bring a few colleagues with you.
Go together.”
Wang Long was confused. Is this Lord Wu crazy? How could he let his own people hook up with his opponent? Could it be that Lord Wu is here to test him?
He thought so in his heart, and he didn't dare to nod. He hurriedly said, "Sir, this banquet is never allowed to go. The lower official has been known to the Lord, and the lower official has been given today. The upper official's opponent is the lower official.
How could the lower officials eat the wine named Mou?"
Wu Quan smiled and was very satisfied with Wang Long's answer. He leaned on the chair and said lightly: "I understand your thoughts, but I asked you to eat the wine of the man named Mou, it's not
He asked you to get close to the person named Mou." He pursed his lips and said in a deep tone: "After you go to the banquet, you don't say anything first. When everyone has passed the thirty years of drinking, then say some nonsense and drink there.
Most of them are the personal soldiers of each guard, and I don’t know about the Jinyiwei, but the brothers of each guard are their own families. As long as you are willing to start a big shot, this banquet..." Wu Quan did not continue, but his tone
There is already a bit of cruelty in the middle.
Wang Long's head was immediately open. If he couldn't understand Wu Quan, he would be a pig. Letting him go to Mou Mansion is actually just fanning the flames. Think about it, which one of the people who received the invitation was willing to go.
?Are you a little afraid of Mou Bin and others? It's okay to forget it, but once someone drinks, someone starts to curse, and someone is drunk and crazy. Mou Bin's old face is afraid he won't be able to hold on.
Even if they wanted to settle the score in the autumn, what would they do? Wang Longda could say that after drinking, he didn't know what nonsense he said, so Mou Bin could only knock down his front teeth and swallow it.
Wang Long showed joy on his face, and he couldn't help but say, "Sir, you are really smart. You understand. This is easy. Now, please contact some familiar brothers. Please watch the show."
Wu Quan's face was not revealed, and he said, "Then go, the matter is done, I will not treat you badly."
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Inside and outside Mou Bin's mansion, there are now lanterns. Not only are there tables and chairs placed inside, but sheds are temporarily set up on the adjacent streets, and tables and chairs are placed in the sheds.
There were not enough cooks in the mansion, so I could only invite them from inns and taverns everywhere. I temporarily built stoves with bricks and stones and soil near the woodshed in the mansion, and the pots and pans were newly bought.
Carriages were loading with wine, and they were all top-notch goods transferred directly from a merchant engaged in wine business. In addition, many people from the Jinyiwei also came to help take care of them.
At this time, there was still no sign of the guests, and there was still an hour before noon. Fortunately, the weather is good today, so the preparations are still orderly.
But at this time, Mou Bin, who seemed a little worried, wanted to have a torrential rain today. Hundreds of invitations were sent out, and such a big disturbance was made again. He is now
It's too late to regret it.
It would be nice if there was a heavy rain at this time. Even if there were not many guests and there were not a full seat, at least there was an excuse. But although the north wind was biting, the weather was extremely clear. Mou Bin was most afraid of
He just can't get off the Taiwan side. If the people who attend the banquet cannot fill the seats, or even more than half of the seats are vacant, his old face will be greatly lost.
But since Liu Chengfeng has made arrangements for this matter, he can't say anything. But seeing Liu Chengfeng's podium, he is really guilty. He knows what his popularity looks like. Although someone is carrying a sedan chair now,
Who knows if they are willing to buy it?
This is second-most. The most important thing is that most of the guests invited were military officers from the personal army. None of them were pulled down from commanders to hundreds of households or even the general flag, and these people just left Wu Quan.
It's very close. If you drink some wine and talk nonsense at the banquet, it's going to be dead.
Not to mention, Wu Quan may not have sent some people to make trouble. After thinking about it, Mou Bin already felt that today is a bit inauspicious.
But now the arrow was on the string and he had to fire it. Even if he wanted to stop, he had to sigh in this flower hall.
It was getting closer and closer, and finally guests began to appear. At this time, Mou Bin had to come out in person and go to the middle gate to welcome guests. Liu Chengfeng and Li Dongdong didn't know where they ran, and they still
It made Mou Bin a little uneasy. He couldn't help but look out the middle door to see if Liu Chengfeng had come, but every time there were carriages or sedan chairs stopped.
The people who fall down always disappoint Mou Bin very much.
There were more and more visitors, and Mou Bin could not greet him, so he had to let some of his confidants in the garrison to welcome the guests for him. Only when officials above the garrison appeared in the garrison and above would Mou Bin come out to greet him and stand at the middle gate.
After greeting people here for a while, Mou Bin felt that although these distinguished guests were polite, they did not want to talk to him in depth. They were even deliberately keeping a certain distance from him, as if Mou Bin was just a
Plague is just like that.
Mou Bin could only helplessly, with a smile on his face, but he couldn't say anything about his pain.
As soon as a Tongzhi was sent in, someone sang outside: "The flag bearer guard commander Wang Longwang has arrived."
Mou Bin doesn't have much impression of Wang Long. Although he is the spy leader, he seems to have many secret matters in the capital, but the Jinyiwei dare not find the head of the personal army, so he is very concerned about many people in the personal army.
Mou Bin was confused.
However, he was a clerk and a flag bearer. Mou Bin had to cheer up and stood in front of the doorstep. A carriage stopped and saw the thin Wang Long walking with a few people who looked like thousands of households and laughing.
Come over, Mou Bin goes up and smiles, bows and says, "Mr. Wang appreciates his face and makes the humble house shine brightly. If there is any negligence and negligence, Mr. Wang should be forgiven."
This is a very ordinary polite word. I thought Wang Long would deliberately keep a distance from him like others, but Wang Long smiled cheerfully and said, "You are polite, sir, sir, the wine of yours has been coveting for a long time.
It’s just a pity that the officials are insignificant and have never dared to come to the door for rashness. Now, I must be close to the adults by taking advantage of this banquet.”
He spoke with sincerity and seemed very sincere.
