Chapter 37 (II) The Feast of the Hung Gate
Hariyah Governor's Palace
"General, please. "Tonight there was a banquet in Shu, and officials of all sizes in the city were invited. Ye Shu sent his henchman Rigo to greet him at the door.
When the hour was almost up, Rigo greeted the guests with a smile, looked around, turned and ordered a soldier to greet him, the smile on his face was withdrawn, replaced by a grim face, and he walked briskly to the study. Ye Shu stood in the center with his hands behind his back, unable to see his expression clearly, and Nan Xuanji stood beside him with an expressionless face. Li Ge bowed his hand, "Back to Your Highness, the generals and officers are almost here, only Shen Kuo and his generals have not arrived." ”
"Shen Kuo is an old thief and cunning, he probably guessed that today's banquet was a Hongmen banquet, and he was afraid that he would not take the bait. Ye Shu frowned, "You go down first, and report to me as soon as there is any movement." ”
"Yes, Your Highness. Rigo nodded.
"Your Highness is worried. Nan Xuanji said indifferently, "Shen Kuo is a veteran, even if he is cunning, he will not take a newborn calf like His Highness in his eyes, this is his fatal weakness." It's like...... My father was ...... He ......" Nan Xuanji said this, and suddenly stopped, his eyes full of hatred, "I won't forget, Temple, Long Ao ......"
Ye Shu comforted Nan Xuanji softly, "Uncle Cousin doesn't have to be nostalgic for the past, Cousin's hatred, when he ascends the throne, I will definitely collect debts from the temple." ”
"The hour is getting late, Your Highness should go to the main hall to meet the guests. Nan Xuanji interrupted.
Ye Shu nodded and lowered his voice, "Everything is arranged?"
"As long as Shen Kuo dares to come, there will be no return. Nan Xuanji said coldly.
"Your Highness arrives ~~~" With a soft voice, the generals and officers who were chatting stopped talking and saluted respectfully, "See Your Highness." ”
"You don't have to be formal. Ye Shu smiled kindly and waved his hand. He glanced at everyone and asked casually, "Why don't you see King Xichang?"
"King Xichang arrives ~~~" Before everyone could speak, there was another announcement outside the door. Seeing that Shen Kuo was dressed in civilian clothes and did not wear a sword, he was followed by several officers who served under his tent, Shen Kuo just nodded casually when he saw Ye Shu, "I've seen Your Highness." ”
"King Xichang. Ye Shu nodded in return, and when he looked up, the corners of his mouth hooked up into an imperceptible smile.
"Today is a celebration feast, and everyone does not have to be formal. Ye Shu clapped his hands, "on the song and dance." ”
The singers came in from outside the hall, and the hall was full of singing and dancing, and it was a peaceful scene. Shen Kuo poured himself a drink, and Ye Shu raised his glass when he saw this, "King Xichang has made outstanding achievements, and our army can achieve a great victory this time, thanks to the command of King Xichang." ”
"His Royal Highness King Gong has tormented the old ministers, and the front-line reinforcements are also thanks to the support of your central army, which can escape from the encirclement. "In addition to the 5th, 66th and 7th Army, Shen Kuo also sent a fine cavalry to protect the safety of Yeshu's cronies. Yeshu's 567th Army was assassinated, and only the elite cavalry really supported the front line. As soon as Shen Kuo's words came out, Ye Shu's face changed suddenly, and he obviously couldn't hang his color. He smiled awkwardly, casually responded with a few words, and quietly glanced at Rigo on the side, who nodded, turned around and ordered one of the attendants to do so.
Shen Kuo had been looking at Ye Shu's demeanor, and seeing that Ye Lan had given a look to Li Ge over there, Shen Kuo turned his head sideways and whispered, "Go check it out." ”
In less than a stick of incense, the guards came back and reported to Shen Kuo, "Back to the prince, the hall is full of King Gong's men and horses, and his subordinates have ordered them to go down, and our secret guards will deal with it." ”
Shen Kuo smiled indifferently after hearing this, "I thought he would do some tricks, this little trick, I wanted to kill this king." ”
"The prince is wise, the milky child has not dried up, where is your opponent the prince. ”
"Let's go down. Shen Kuo waved his hand, "This king wants to see what kind of expression Ye Shu will have when he learns the news." ”
