Chapter 463 Banquet (Two in One)

"Eunuch Xi, do you think Da Zhou can still be saved?"

Ji Changluo had already left the palace, and Princess Shiyi turned to Xiao Xizi and asked.

Princess Shiyi's pale face instantly made Eunuch Xi feel distressed, and he felt the same. He wiped the red circles under his eyes, and said, "This servant only wants His Highness to be in good health, and the other servants can't understand..."

"It's not that you don't understand, you just don't say it! The world knows that the current Great Zhou has come to an end, and the so-called emperor is just a poor wretch who can be manipulated by others..." Princess Shiyi murmured.

"Your Highness..."

Eunuch Xi still wanted to persuade him, but he didn't know how to speak.

After waiting for a long time, Eunuch Xi finally asked: "Your Highness, the Duke Han's Mansion sent an invitation card, inviting you to attend the dinner party at Duke Han, you see... shall we go or not!"

"Go! Anyway, Duke Han is kind to our master and servant. Since Duke Han invited us, there is no reason not to go. Let's go! Let's also take a look at those famous civil servants and generals under Duke Han's command!"

Say it!Princess Shiyi slowly stepped down from the seat, and Eunuch Xi hurriedly followed behind Princess Shiyi.

After Su Can left, Liu De sat with his three counselors. Liu De asked, "What's the purpose of Su Can's visit? Could it be that he just came to congratulate himself as he said! Li Yun Are you that kind?"

Xun Yu said unhurriedly: "I haven't been able to analyze Mr. Su's intention for a while. This Mr. Su's insinuation on whether we want to attack the false emperor may have other meanings!"

"If I think about it, then Li Yun definitely has ulterior motives, maybe he wants to attack us! After all, my lord, you are about to unify Hebei and occupy the land of the four states. With the strength of your lord, who can compare? And Li Yun and us Only separated by a river, so close at hand!"

Jian Yong was chewing a small snack in his mouth, not sipping hot tea, but rather carefree.

"Old Jane, where did you infer that Li Yun wanted to attack me?" Liu De asked.

Jian Yong hiccupped, and what he said almost drove Liu De to death, "I guessed it!"

Xu Shu added: "Then Li Yun sent Su Can over and gave Mrs. Li a large amount of dowry. It doesn't seem like he wants to be our enemy, but he wants to make friends with us."

"Maybe it's just to paralyze us!"

Jian Yong said again.

Xu Shu said: "Then Li Yun is an unknown teacher, wouldn't it make the world laugh at him?"

Xun Yu shook his head at this moment and said, "Li Yun has Emperor Zhou in his hands, so it's not easy to make him famous?"

Xun Yu suggested to Liu De: "My lord, it is best to send the guards to Danzhou to check the situation, and train the soldiers and horses, so as to be safe!"

"Okay, just as the military adviser said!"

Liu De nodded in response.

"Mrs. Lee"

Su Can paid homage.

"Brother Su, why should you be so polite? The Li and Su families are family friends, and I ran around behind Big Brother and you all those years ago!" Although Li Lan was smiling, her eye circles were already red. It was obvious that Su Can's arrival It did make Li Lan weep with joy, which meant that she could finally get rid of the hat of elopement.

You don't need to be gossips behind.

"Yeah, I think we were so carefree when we had brothers and sisters."

Su Can was also caught in the memory and felt emotional for a while.

Li Lan wiped the corners of her eyes, and asked, "Brother, they and grandma are in good health?"

"It's all good, all is good, it's just that the old lady misses you very much," Su Can said.

Li Lan looks mighty like a man, but she is still a girl after all. Hearing Su Cha talking about her grandmother, she couldn't bear it any longer and cried aloud.

Li Lan's personal maid, Caiwei, hastily stroked Li Lan's shoulder and softly comforted her, and even gave Su Can a vicious stare.

Su Can was also annoyed at her quick talk, why bring this up.

"I'm fine!" Li Lan took the handkerchief Caiwei handed over, wiped away the tears hanging on her cheeks, and said with a forced smile.

Caiwei still said to Su Can with an angry face: "Master Su, my wife is tired, you should go back first! If you have anything to say, you can tell your servant."

Seeing Li Lan like this, Su Can swallowed what she wanted to say, and handed the bamboo book in her hand to Caiwei, "This is the dowry that Minggong gave to Mrs. Li. You collect it for Mrs. Li. I will go first." gone."

"understood!"

Caiwei saluted slightly and sent Su Can away.

……

It was night, the Hangong Mansion was brightly lit, and rows of candles were lit, as bright as day.

The desks are placed on both sides of the main hall. Fortunately, the space in the hall is large enough, otherwise there would not be enough desks. However, even if the desks are arranged in the back like this, they are nearly 50 meters away from the first seat in the front. Slightly noisy and hard to hear from behind.

Numerous maids shuttled back and forth in the hall, holding trays in their hands, and the plates were full of exquisite dishes, as well as jugs of fine wine, exuding a tempting aroma.

In addition to inviting generals and officials in the city, Liu De also invited the heads of the major families, Princess Shiyi with a special status, and Ji Changluo and Su Can, the envoys of the imperial court and the Duke of Wei.

Ji Changluo and Su Can came here hand in hand, they were the first ones, and because of their special identities, they were assigned the second and third positions in front, and the first position was reserved for Princess Shiyi.

Su Can brought one person over. The banquet held by Liu De was a family banquet, and family members could be brought along. As the envoy, Su Can had no family members of course, but he still brought his Deputy Envoy over. The Deputy Envoy was the Han family. The man, whose surname is Han and whose first name is Zhuo, is a military commander, and his martial arts can be regarded as a small master under Li Yun's command, and he is responsible for protecting Su Can's safety.

Han Meimei, the daughter of the Han family, married Li Lei, the fourth son of the Li family.

Su Can pointed to the military general who was on the fourth case from the front, and introduced: "This person is Bai Qi who shocked Beizhou and wiped out nearly [-] Hu people."

Han Zhuo was stunned. After all, he was young, and he was a little afraid of Bai Qi's aura. As a military commander, Han Zhuo could feel the murderous and bloody aura of Bai Qi even more.

"Who is that at the third table?"

Han Zhuo asked: "I don't remember that there are such people under Han Gong's command? The rank is actually higher than Bai Qi!"

"This one?" Su Can looked at the man who was talking softly with Bai Qi, thought for a moment and said, "I don't know this person, but I guess there is only one person above Bai Qi!"

"Who is it?"

"General Fuguo (Liu Shang)'s General Tuogu, the head of the four heroes of Dongyu, Zhang Tianlang!" Su Can mused.

"I have no impression of this person..."

Han Zhuo thought for a long time, and finally shook his head.

"Zhang Tianlang's reputation is not prominent in Henan and Hebei, but he has been stationed in Dongyu all year round to guard against Donghu." Su Can, as Li Yun's central military adviser, obviously has a basic understanding of the generals of the major forces.

"I see!"

Han Zhuo suddenly said: "This General Zhang must be relied on by the Duke of Han, otherwise he would not have been guarding Dongyu for several years. That is the gateway between Yanzhou and the grassland."

"Who can tell the truth!"

Su Can pointed out something.

Han Zhuo was puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask further questions.

Afterwards, Guan Yu took his wife to the seat below Bai Qi, and he just bowed his hands to Zhang Tianlang, and said nothing to Bai Qi, which made Su Can's eyes brighten, who had been observing the generals.

"Mr. Su!"

Su Can heard the voice of calling, saw the visitor and got up quickly and said, "So it's Master Xu, be polite!"

The person who came was Xu Shu. Although the two had some disputes in the Duke of Han's mansion, it did not prevent Xu Shu from greeting Su Can. The world of literati may be more complicated than that of warriors.

Xu Shu lifted his robe, and took his wife and children to sit next to Su Can. Counting from the right, he was fourth.

Behind Xu Shu was Jian Yong, who looked a little foolish, and also greeted Su Can, who also returned the greeting.

Then Su Can continued to introduce Liu De's generals to Han Zhuo.

Han Zhuo's eyes were sharp, and he saw a woman sitting among the generals, who was quite heroic and very pretty.

"Mr. Su, who is that woman? She actually occupies a place among the generals, and she doesn't look like someone else's family?" Han Zhuo asked hurriedly.

Su Can took a look and said, "If I'm not wrong, the woman is Che Yan, the commander of the Xuanjing Division, one of the two major intelligence organizations under Han Gong. I just heard about it, but I never saw it. Your Highness is so courageous to let a woman hold such an important position."

After Su Can finished speaking, Xun Yu, the chief under Liu De's command, also came to the main hall with his family members. Instead of stopping to chat with everyone, he walked to Su Can and Ji Changluo's place, bowed slightly and said, "Ji Changluo Zongzheng, the Soviet army division."

The two also returned the gift: "Xun Changshi"

"This Xun Yu and Xun Changshi are really a gentleman. Sitting with him, I wish I could talk freely for three days and three nights. It's a pity, a pity." Su Can shook his head and sighed.

"Military Master, what's the pity?" Han Zhuo asked.

Su Can shook her head and remained silent.

"Duke Han is here!"

With a loud shout from the guard at the gate, all the generals in the hall stood up one after another, and said in unison to Liu De who entered the hall: "I will pay my respects to the lord!"

Liu Delong walked like a tiger, with extraordinary momentum, he supported Chen Shuo, and walked forward with many concubines. Liu De stretched out a hand and waved, "Everyone, this is a family banquet, and the generals don't need to be polite. .”

"Yes, the minister waits for orders!"

All the generals shouted in unison.

Su Can looked around for a week, seeing the expressions of all the generals in the palace at a glance, and sighed secretly in her heart, whether it was Zhang Tianlang, Bai Qi, or Guan Yu, all the generals seemed to be convinced and respectful of Liu De. It seems that this His Royal Highness Han is absolutely dominant over the army.

Liu De slowly helped Chen Shuo to sit on the first seat, and then walked straight to the main seat of the main hall. Li Lan and Liu Jia sat on Liu De's left and right sides, and the other concubines also sat in their respective positions according to their status. sitting position.

Su Can, who was in front, could still see Li Lan's slightly swollen eyes. Although she wiped off her foundation, she still couldn't cover it.

Little Liu Zhao, little Liu Dun, and little Liu Ning, the two sons and one daughter were also brought into the palace. After all, it was a family banquet, and the children should also appear once, but because they were still young, the three children were quickly taken by the wet nurse. go down.

Princess Shiyi also sat in her seat. Princess Shiyi came earlier than the others, but she went to the backyard to be with Liu De's concubines, and then came with Liu De.

Ji Changluo hurriedly gave a gift to Princess Shiyi, and Princess Shiyi nodded and returned the gift.

The hall was unusually quiet, you could hear the drop of a needle, and everyone sat in their seats, waiting for Liu De to speak.

This gave Su Can a deeper understanding of Liu De's prestige.

Liu De looked at Zhang Tianlang, who had a firm face, and then at the two half-year-olds beside him, beckoning to them, "Wei Guo, An Guo, come forward!"

Zhang Weiguo and Zhang Anguo are twin brothers, both born to Zhang Tianlang's wife, Qushi. Moreover, Zhang Tianlang and Qu's couple have a very close relationship, and Zhang Tianlang has only one wife, and even one Neither did the concubine.

The two brothers glanced at their father, and Zhang Tianlang nodded, signaling them to hurry up.

Liu De looked at his two brothers who were only half a head short of his height and were about to catch up with him, but there was still a trace of childishness on his face.

Liu De held the hands of the two brothers affectionately, looked at the two who looked almost the same, and asked the question that most people would ask: "Which of you is the elder brother?"

The boy on Liu De's left raised his hand, and said to Liu De: "Your Highness, I am brother."

"Okay!"

Liu De Yile, "I remember that you two just reached my thigh, and now you are almost catching up with me. Now you are both 14 years old. Your father was only fourteen or five years old when he fought with my grandfather. You The two of you should study hard and practice martial arts, and in the future you will become a general who will scare the barbarians just like your father!"

"Yes! We will definitely become great generals like our father!"

The two brothers said in unison, quite imposing.

"Great!"

Liu De turned to Zhang Tianlang and said, "You have two good sons!"

Zhang Tianlang got up quickly: "I am ashamed and dare not be responsible, for fear that I will be ashamed if I can't teach my son well!"

Liu De gestured, and Dian Wei came to Liu De with two swords in his hands. Liu De picked up one of the swords and pulled it out slowly. Gold pattern.

These two swords were specially ordered by Liu De to be carefully crafted by the manufacturing department.
Well, it’s actually not two handles. At the very least, Liu De ordered Xu Hai (the director of the manufacturing department) to build nearly a hundred of them, and put them all in his treasury for rewards. Gold and silver are rewarded, how can there be rewards for swords? momentum.

In order to distinguish these swords from other swords, Liu De specially engraved a Chinese character on the blade, and there is a small seal of Liu De on the hilt to prove the preciousness of the sword.

Liu De sent the two swords to the hands of the two brothers, and warned: "Stop arrogance and impetuosity, and you will achieve great things. Don't let me down!"

The two brothers also solemnly bowed down to Liu De and retreated.

Zhang Tianlang twirled his beard and whispered to his wife: "Let Wei Guo and An Guo enter the army after a while!"

Qu's face was full of worry, "The child is still young, could it be too early!"

"It's getting late, it's getting late!"

Zhang Tianlang said so.

Guan Ping looked at the swords in the hands of brothers Wei Guo and An Guo, pulled his father's skirt and said, "Father, will I have that sword?"

"Yes, as long as you practice martial arts diligently, you will naturally have a sword bestowed by the lord."

Guan Yu is still relatively strict with Guan Ping, which can be regarded as hopeful for his son to become a dragon, but occasionally he rarely shows his father's love.
