Chapter 6 You Are So Sophisticated (For Collection)

"Don't be dazed, I'll help you get dressed neatly." Feng Zhong couldn't help but rush forward, and was about to straighten Long Xiang's bun and belt.

Long Xiang hurriedly finished rinsing his mouth, rolled down his rolled up cuffs, and asked Feng Zhong: "Uncle Zhong, you are not joking with my nephew, are you?"

"Who dares to borrow the name of the general as a joke? Let's be quicker, and we have to go to the city to pick out a gift later, and we can't go to the banquet empty-handed." Feng Zhong replied solemnly.

Long Xiang was shocked when he heard this, and said in his heart that you understand the world.

But this is still the Three Kingdoms era, and you are a soldier. Are you thinking too far ahead?
"But little nephew is too shy." Long Xiang stood on the spot, scratching his head in embarrassment.

Feng Zhong joked: "Why are you shy? You have neither military achievements nor rewards, so you should have nothing in your pocket. Brother Yuan left some money, and you used it to reward the soldiers. Uncle Zhong will help you later."

"Isn't it appropriate?" Long Xiang frowned.

"There's nothing inappropriate. General Qiao values ​​you very much. When he gets to the mansion, he will talk more about you." Feng Zhong continued to remind.

Long Xiang was full of question marks, thinking what do you mean?
Feng Zhong quickly explained: "The general came to inspect the camp last night, and he accidentally heard me recite the phrase 'one general succeeds in ten thousand bones', and immediately praised you very much. I didn't expect to invite you so soon."

Long Xiang thought to himself, good guy, you are not helping me, I am only the son of a soldier in Qianshou, how can I say such a thing at the age of 16?

Moreover, this poem did not appear until the Tang Dynasty. If Qiao Rui broke the casserole and asked the end, how would he get over it?

"Uncle Zhong is interesting enough?"

Seeing Long Xiang stop to think, Feng Zhong patted him on the shoulder, as if asking for credit.

"Uh" Long Xiang nodded awkwardly, thinking that he must keep his mouth shut in the future, at least until he was completely independent.

After washing and dressing neatly, Feng Zhong reported to Sima of the army, and then led Long Xiang out of the camp swaggeringly.

Qu Hou, Guan Zhang, Jun Sima and other grassroots officers in the nearby barracks looked at them with envious eyes and mixed feelings in their hearts.

At that time, the city's trading area was fixed, but there were fewer types of goods, and most of them were daily necessities.

Feng Zhong also had few belongings, so he took Long Xiang to buy some melons and fruits, and then went to Qiaofu with a basket.

When he arrived outside the gate of the mansion, seeing that the notification from Hemengang was approved, Feng Zhong handed the basket to Long Xiang, and said: "General Qiao has been adopted for two years. Although you don't drink very well, remember to respect General Qiao at the banquet later. A few cups."

Long Xiang asked: "Uncle Zhong is not going?"

"The general didn't invite the junior general, how can Uncle Zhong be qualified? You go to the mansion quickly, don't keep General Qiao waiting for long." Feng Zhong waved lightly in greeting, thinking that this person is incomparable.

Long Xiang nodded and turned around. He pretended not to drink well in the camp. How can someone who has been a project manager not drink?What's more, the alcohol content in this era is very low, just like fermented glutinous rice drinks.

But he abides by the doctrine of the golden mean, and deliberately set up this persona, firstly to avoid being missed by outsiders when paddling for fish, and secondly to take the initiative to expose his "weakness". Take it easy.

Qiao Rui held a banquet in the flower hall of his home, and Long Xiang was led into the house by the guards. When he entered the door, he found that there were only three small tables inside, placed in the shape of "pin" in the room.

Among them, Qiao Rui sat in the main seat facing north and south, and a boy about ten years old sat on the right side of the seat, and the empty seat on the left should belong to Long Xiang.

Long Xiang had already left the Qiao mansion when he crossed, and he learned everything about the mansion from Feng Zhong, so although he had forgotten about the young man, he should be Qiao Rui's youngest son Qiao Niu based on his age.

"General, young master." As soon as Long Xiang crossed the threshold, he immediately cupped his fists in salute.

"The clouds are rising, hurry up and take your seat." Qiao Rui pointed to the seat on the left as a signal.

"Wei." Long Xiang nodded and walked over, knelt down on the soft mat nervously.

Seeing that he was thinking, Qiao Rui laughed and joked, "This is not the first time Yun Qi has come here, why did he frown when we met? Could it be because he didn't receive the gift of wine these few days, so he felt unhappy?"

"How dare the last general? I thought there were many people at the general's banquet, and I only respectfully accompany the last seat, but now"

Before Long Xiang got up and finished explaining, Qiao Rui interrupted with a wave of his hand: "Yun Qi, sit down quickly, the laws in the army are like a mountain, and this general can't give credit for one's own merits, so the wine and food given by the lord are not prepared for your Qubu. But this general admires you very much, so I invite you to the banquet alone."

"The general is terrified." Long Xiang stood up and clasped his fists again.

"Why are you here again? Sit down quickly." Qiao Rui waved his hand again.

"Hahaha"

Qiao Nu suddenly laughed heartily, which made Long Xiang a little embarrassed, Qiao Rui frowned and scolded: "You're being rude, Yun Qi is much older than you, and he was studying Kai Meng with you before, how can you be like this in front of the court?" Faux pas? Don’t explain the reason face to face, as a father, you must be served by the family law.”

"I" Qiao Ni was stunned for a moment and did not speak, tears were in the eyes that were about to come out.

Seeing this, Long Xiang immediately clasped his fists and said: "Don't be upset, general, as the saying goes, children speak without restraint, the young master must have thought of something happy."

"Really?" Qiao Rui's tone softened.

Qiao Ni nodded, and explained in a low voice: "My boy remembered what Long Yunqi said just now, he mistakenly thought that there were many people at the banquet, and he would respectfully accompany the last seat, but isn't it the last seat now?"

"This..." Long Xiang smiled awkwardly, and said in his heart that your child is sincere, I found a step for you, why don't you just go down the donkey?
Qiao Rui stroked his beard and didn't get angry. Although Qiao Ni's behavior just now was rude, but the reason was really tenable. He turned his eyes and said to Qiao Ni: "It's a family feast for my father, there is no first seat, The last one said, you go to the back house and invite your mother and sister, they haven't seen Yunqi for a long time."

"Wei." Qiao Nu immediately got up and clasped his fists at Qiao Rui, and nodded obediently at Long Xiang, before turning around and walking out of the flower hall.

When there were only two people left in the flower hall, Qiao Rui changed the subject and said, "The news just came from Xuzhou that Haixi couldn't support Liu Bei's trilogy, so he had the audacity to beg for surrender from Lu Bu. My lord said he didn't want his face."

"Ahem." Long Xiang coughed twice in response.

Now that Yuan Shu has already set the tone, it is naturally inconvenient for Long Xiang to make other remarks. Yuan Shu, who comes from a prominent family, does not understand Liu Bei at all. It can only fade away slowly.

Qiao Rui continued: "Yun Qi may not know that Lu Bu's guy actually took Liu Bei in and let him stay in Xiaopei to rest. The two families seem to have the intention of going south for longevity. My lord's opinion is still preemptive. It's just whether to fight Liu Bei or not." Lu Bu, everyone at the banquet insisted on their own opinions, I was too drunk to answer, and tomorrow we will gather to discuss, Yun Qi has a trick before, so why don't you talk about it?"

Long Xiang said in his heart that Yuan Shu didn't dare to provoke Cao Cao, and now he could only pinch those two weak persimmons with unstable foundations. Although he knew that Liu Bei would leave Xuzhou sooner or later, he should do something to help Liu Bei.

Brazenly speaking for Liu Bei will definitely make Qiao Rui suspicious, so he simply said the opposite.

Long Xiang thought for a while, then clasped his fists and replied: "It's foolish to think that Liu Bei's new defeat is just when morale is low. It is the best policy to attack Xiaopei first, but"
