Han Xiang

Chapter 13 Sending Letters
Withholding the letter and refusing to send it, Han Yin can verify it in private, which obviously doesn't work.

Long Xiang thought about it for a while, and decided to continue to use Zhang Jiong's letter as a stepping stone, but he would beat Hao Meng verbally. In short, it was better to pick himself out in advance than to blame himself in a daze.

As soon as the sun set, Long Xiang followed Han Yin out of the post house to work, and parted ways at the intersection.

Long Xiang and Feng Zhong took gifts and went straight to the residence of Hao Meng, the captain of the city defense school.

Because of the mention of sending letters to fellow villagers in Hanoi, Long Xiang and the two entered Hao's mansion smoothly, and then were led by the soldiers to wait in the front hall.

Hao Meng invited his lieutenant General Cao Xing to go home for a drink after he was on duty today. The two of them had not time to remove their armor when they entered the mansion. Suddenly they heard that Yuan Shu's delegation was visiting, so they went to the front hall to meet the guests.

"General Hao"

"General Cao"

"Dragon General"

"General Feng"

Hao Meng was in charge of the city defense of Xiapi, and Cao Xing arranged the post for the mission, so the four of them were no strangers.

Seeing Hao and Cao coming hand in hand, Long Xiang and Feng Zhong hurriedly got up to salute.

It stands to reason that the military rank must reach the rank of lieutenant general before they can be called generals, but the actual situation is not so rigid. Many low-level officers also call each other generals, even Huotou with the lowest rank (Huotou is ten people) length).

Long Xiang is well versed in the way of the workplace. For the staff who have no position, they call the leader, and all the deputy directors directly call the director. As for the clerks, material dealers, and small bosses of external companies, they are all called bosses and managers.

But in the company I work for, I have to be strict with my position level, I don’t allow my subordinates to shout nonsense, and sometimes I even have to be humble. There are some security guards, cleaners, or clerks who don’t know anything in the company, and they are likely to be the boss or the shareholder. Relatives who don't know restraint are prone to accidents.

There is no other reason why office politics are loose on the outside and tight on the inside, it is just the needs of the world.

"I heard that General Long is here to deliver a letter?" Hao Meng gestured for Long Xiang to sit in front of him, confirming the purpose of their visit by the way.

Long Xiang nodded and took out the letter, and handed it to Hao Meng with both hands to explain: "This letter was originally sent by Mr. Han tonight, but Mr. Gongtai (Chen Gong) invited me to share it, so let Mo Future go through it."

"Oh? I'm sorry." Hao Meng nodded and took the letter, and opened it directly in front of Cao Xing.

Yuan Shu's people came to the door suddenly, and it might spread to Lu Bu. Hao Meng's move was to show his frankness, but after quickly scanning a few lines, his brows immediately frowned.

Long Xiang listened carefully to his words, found the right moment to salute with fists in his hands, and said: "The mission of the general has been fulfilled, so I won't bother the general anymore."

"Huh? What's the meaning of the letter? Does Mr. Han have nothing to say?" Hao Meng finished browsing quickly, then frowned and asked Long Xiang thoughtfully.

Seeing that Hao Meng's tone was wrong, Feng Zhong immediately got up and came to Long Xiang's side, staring at Hao and Cao like an angry king.

Feeling Feng Zhong's breath, Long Xiang threw one hand back to block Feng Zhong, then asked with an innocent face, "The last general's trip is just to send a letter. I don't know what the letter said, Mr. Han." I only urged to send it earlier, and didn't say a word, is there anything wrong?"

Hao Meng didn't seem to believe it, she lowered her head and asked, "You really don't know?"

"How can you deceive the general? Both of us are illiterate, and we are powerless even if we want to take a peek. Could it be that there are some crazy words in the letter?" Long Xiang pretended to be puzzled.

Hao Meng and Cao Xing looked at each other, they didn't know what was going on in their minds, he quickly turned into a smiling face, nodded slightly and said: "It's not that crazy, it's actually Zhang Jiong who borrowed money from me, this general is a small town Captain Fang, how can I lend him spare money.”

After hearing this, Long Xiang was stunned, and lamented that Hao Meng reacted so quickly. I didn't even think of this reason. You have a 550w system in your brain?

After a brief moment of astonishment, Long Xiang cupped his fists again, "Since that's the case, the last general will leave."

"Come on, General Long is a guest from afar, how can he just leave like this? If Zhang Jiong, my fellow countryman, knows, he will definitely say that Hao doesn't understand etiquette, so he must have some drinks." Hao Meng saw With Long Xiang's expression, the doubts in his heart have been relieved to eighty percent, but he still intends to ask more, after all, the matter in the letter is too big, and he will lose his head if he fails to do so.

"The last general doesn't drink too much, I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy myself with the general." Long Xiang finished speaking with a little embarrassment, and turned to look at his companion Feng Zhong, signaling him to come out and testify.

Feng Zhong hurriedly clasped his fists knowingly, and said: "My general is really easy to get drunk, please let us go back to the post house? General Lu is going to hold a banquet tomorrow to welcome the wind. If General Long is drunk and cannot go to the banquet, Mr. Han will definitely be held accountable."

"My lord's banquet is the lord's etiquette, and Hao's banquet is Hao's etiquette. General Long won't look down on Hao, right?" Hao Meng first accentuated her tone, and then said softly after changing the topic: "Furthermore, Hao can't drink. Ye Qian, everyone will order as soon as they are available, and the inn will always have anti-alcohol soup, which will not affect General Long's banquet tomorrow, please sit here for a while, General Cao and I will change our clothes and come after entering."

When sleepiness came, someone handed the pillow, Hao Meng naturally would not let go of the opportunity, he 'enthusiastically' left Long Xiang and Feng Zhong in the front hall, while he took Cao Xing back to the back house to undress and change clothes.

Hao and Cao left hand in hand, Feng Zhong paced in the hall for a while, then squatted beside Long Xiang, complaining in a low voice: "There are guards guarding the front and rear doors, it seems that today's drink must be eaten."

"General Hao is so kind, if you don't eat the toast, you may be fined, just sit down and wait." Long Xiang knelt on the table and shook his head indifferently.

Feng Zhong said in a softer voice: "It's okay to have a drink, because I think that guy Han Yin has no good intentions. If there is really something important in the letter, I'm worried that it will be bad for Yun Qi."

Long Xiang squinted his eyes and retorted: "It's a done deal, why bother? Besides, we are just messengers. Hao Meng will find Han Yin and Zhang Jiong if he has anything to do. Stop thinking about it."

"Yun Qi doesn't know something, those people who play with pens are much better than those who play with knives and guns, we have to guard against it." Feng Zhong's face was full of bitterness.

"Don't think too much, you and I are an official, a Qu Hou, what can we guard against? Why don't you be drunk today." Long Xiang shook his head.

"That's right." Feng Zhong sighed approvingly, thinking that the Major General is really transparent.

Long Xiang suddenly pressed the back of Feng Zhong's hand, and comforted softly: "Uncle Zhong, don't worry, things may not be bad, just remember to help my nephew back to the post."

Feng Zhong nodded solemnly, "That's natural."

In the back house of Hao's mansion, servants took off their armor for Hao Meng and Cao Xing, and put on light and cool robes.

After the servants left, Hao Meng burned Zhang Jiong's letter on the fire by the oil lamp on the table.

Seeing this, Cao Xing hurriedly stopped and said, "Why did you burn it, General? It should be kept as a witness."

Hao Meng shook her head and said: "If Lu Bu really doubts me, it doesn't matter if you have this letter or not. Besides, the letter says that it will be burned after reading. It would not be able to implicate Brother Zhang. Turning it into ashes is good for everyone."

"The general doesn't want to leave a letter. Do you want to follow what Zhang Jiong said? You must know that this move is extremely risky." Cao Xing's face was full of worry.

Hao Meng snorted coldly and said, "Lü Bu often humiliated the wives of the generals, such a simple man can hardly achieve great things. If Yuan Shu really proclaims himself emperor, why not be a shepherd of Xuzhou?"

"I'm afraid Yuan Shu is not sincere." Cao Xing frowned.
