Chapter Four hundred: Hongmen Banquet 2
Shunyu briefly described General Zhang's false reports on the number of soldiers and the salary of his empty salary with Xu Lan.
Seeing his thick eyebrows frowned and serious, he pursed his lips and said, "The teacher ordered you to lead two thousand soldiers to the military camp to collect. I thought you would probably not be able to deal with it... But after hearing his insights, I felt that Yuan Zhen's literary and martial arts strategy and ability to turn the tide and turn the world around."
She suddenly remembered that in her previous life, the man in front of her was leading tens of thousands of troops to force the palace. Her cold and rebellious aura could not be left in her mind.
Then he said to himself: "Yuan Zhen will be the largest general in our dynasty in the future."
"Thank you auspicious words." Xu Lan listened carefully, and felt happy in her heart, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly: "You can rest assured, I am not afraid of the military camp's collection. I am worried about you, Fengjiu."
"Worrying what I do?" Shunyu's face was full of confusion.
Xu Lan's tone was quite heavy: "I led my troops to Ji'an City and had contact with General Zhang. Although he was friendly on the surface, he had many plans inside. The emperor sent his teacher to quell the rebellion. If he was really afraid that the truth would be revealed, he would definitely make a complete plan."
"Tonight, he was invited to the Governor's Office to have a banquet. I knew that there were 3,000 soldiers under my subordinates here. How could he take risks with him? In order to protect his life, he would definitely bring 4,000 soldiers to come. It would be possible to surround the mansion and make it impossible to do anything."
After a pause, he looked down at Shunyu's shining eyes and said, "This place is really dangerous. It is possible to lose your life if you are not careful. Just follow me. Even if you sacrifice my life, you will protect you without any harm... I went to tell the teacher that he is not a tough person and will definitely let you go with me."
After speaking, I was about to walk to the main room.
A warm feeling surged in Shunyu's heart, and hurriedly grabbed his arm, and finally shook his head: "The teacher protects me all the way out of the capital. Now that he is in danger, how can I escape by myself? I have to stay by his side in terms of emotion and reason."
Xu Lan was still waiting to persuade him, but saw Chen Huan coming to report his order at a lightning speed. Before the person was approaching, he had already looked at Shun Yu's dishonest hand several times. He bowed to Xu Lan: "I'll reply to Lord Shen. General Zhang led his people to the mansion quickly. Without further ado, he asked General Xu to organize his troops and escape from the back door."
Xu Lan bowed and knew it indifferently, looked at Shunyu, took care of her, and then took a big strode away without looking back.
Shunyu grabbed Chen Huan's arm and asked anxiously, "Where is my pipa?"
Chen Huan stared at him like a copper bell, and he brushed his sleeves and said in a disgusting manner: "Don't just pull and pull anyone, I'm still a boy, I can't stand this."
If it weren't for the crisis, Shunyu really wanted to smile at the sky, and then retracted his hand and asked, "Where is my pipa?"
"When I went to Xu Jing, how could I know." He didn't even glance at her, and opened the curtain and went straight into the room.
Shunyu was criticized by him for no reason and asked the Wu who accompanied him, if he had taken gunpowder, it would be fine if he saw that he was confused.
There is no time to worry about these things at this moment.
....................................................
Zhang He rode a tall horse with a cool sedan chair in his heel, and stopped in front of the main gate. He looked up and looked at a plaque hanging on it. It was charred black by smoke, and the three big words "Governor's Office" were vaguely visible.
He didn't look back, but only raised his right hand, followed thousands of soldiers. Although he couldn't hide his illness, his pace was still rapid and neat. Not long after, he had already surrounded the three layers of the mansion.
But when he heard the two doors "creaking" and opened to the left and right holes, he saw Chen Zetang at a glance, wearing black veil, wearing a scarlet pheasant men's uniform, wearing a rhinoceros strap, wearing a black-faced, white-backed soap boots, standing with his hands behind his back, his face was elegant and smiling, and his temperament was very elegant.
Zhang He did not dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and knelt half his knees, bowed his hands to salute him. Chen Zetang was dismissed by the greetings. During the greetings, he had swept the soldiers around him. He pretended not to know and allowed Zhang He to introduce the accompanying adjutants Huang Huai and Wei Yuan, and Li Zhao. He saw that they were wide-skinned and round-waisted, wearing silver armor, short swords and long swords, were all hidden soldiers.
He ordered a charming young woman to come and greet her, pointing to her, "This is Gu, the widow of Admiral Gao. That day, the rebels broke into the Governor's Mansion and fought fiercely, killing, robbing and doing all kinds of evil. Gu hid in the camphor wood box before escaping the disaster, and temporarily set up the military camp to accompany my wife."
Chen Zetang smiled and said, "Mr. Gu looks familiar, but it seems that he has seen it somewhere." Mr. Gu lowered his head and bowed his neck, and replied like a mosquito and flies: "I am afraid that I have grown up here since I was a child and have never left Ji'an City for a step."
"There are so many similar people in the world. I just say something casually, don't be afraid." Chen Zetang said in a gentle tone, with a little pity.
Zhang He didn't see it in his eyes.
Chen Huancha came to report that the banquet in the flower hall was ready.
Chen Zetang asked Zhang He indifferently, and walked in front with his hands behind his back.
Zhang He was about to follow, but was blocked by the four or five guards. Chen Huan bowed and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "When the imperial court system in the capital, civil officials and generals go to the banquet, they need to remove their helmets and armor and abandon their weapons. Chen Ge is not particular about the details, and the armor can be added. I also ask you to remove your weapons."
"It is the imperial official system, and it should be followed." Li Zhao was so proud that he pulled out the other two axes on his waist and handed them to the guards on his side.
Adjutants Huang Huai and Wei Yuan looked at Zhang He with hesitation. Zhang He glanced at Chen Zetang's back and gradually moved away. He gritted his teeth, removed an ancient bronze sword, and chased forward without saying a word.
Huang Wei and the other two obediently did it. Chen Huan stared at Gu's eyes with bright eyes. Gu chuckled: "I don't have any weapons, so if you don't believe me, I'll search."
Chen Huan coldly put down his lips. This woman was indeed cunning. Chen Erye was really not bullying me, so he snapped his fingers. The guard led an old nanny to come over, and Gu's expression changed slightly.
................
Zhang He saw Chen Zetang stopping in front of him, as if he was stunning. He looked closer and looked around, but there were vines growing, tangled with branches and leaves were still lush, but most of the purple grapes were pecked by birds, and half of them were knocked down by wind and rain, and they were covered in the ground, scattering an unpleasant smell.
Zhang He only felt that the words and deeds of this old man Chen were really hard to figure out. Did he want to eat grapes?
While he was thinking about it, he saw that he stopped looking. The guard led the way in front, carrying a lit lantern in his hand.
It was dusk and dusk, but the trees in the garden covered the sky, with a gloomy smell.
Zhang He followed Shen Zetang and smiled and said, "This place is so decayed. If I knew that Ge Chen had come to Ji'an, I would definitely place you properly in the military camp."
Chen Zetang said: "I originally wanted to surrender to General Zhang, but I heard that the soldiers in the camp were suffering from an epidemic, and I was afraid of contaminating myself, so I had to settle here."
I don’t know whether the speaker was unintentional or the listener was intentional, Zhang He once evaded this sentence and now said it from Master Chen. He always felt teased. He pulled the corners of his mouth in embarrassment and said "yes" after a while.
