Chapter 296: Reception Banquet (2-in-1)

In late August, Yang Haojian arrived in Baizhou.

He was accompanied by 50,000 elite soldiers drawn from Jiangbei, some generals and some generals who followed Wang Guangji to accept Zhao'an.

The army led by Ji Nantang still won one victory after another on the battlefield during this time, recapturing Huaning, an important town in Baizhou occupied by the Dongyi people.

The population of Huaning City has been sharply reduced by half, and the remaining people have been trembling for more than a year, enduring humiliation and stealing their lives, and finally looking forward to the imperial army recovering the city, not to mention the shortage of food, the little valuable things have been snatched away by the Dongyi people, and the county government and more than ten large households in the city have been burned black by the fire.

Ji Nantang was busy arranging, disaster relief, and pacifying the people, and handed over the errand of welcoming the prison army to Deputy Marshal Mi Jingyang.

Mi Jingyang finally found a garden that survived the war, cleaned it up, and washed the dust for Yang Hao.

The war is tense, Huaning lacks everything, Mi Jingyang has done his best to procure, and many places have to be compromised.

After connecting with Yang Haojian's forward officer, the other party said that His Royal Highness the King of Han came here to reward the three armies by the way, and brought a lot of food and drink, and Mi Jingyang breathed a sigh of relief.

Yang Haojian's car was getting closer and closer to Huaning, and Ji Nantang led the crowd out of the city to greet him. Wen Sheng had to go differently.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer, and they are clearly visible to each other.

Yang Haojian's front army stopped and parted to both sides. Under the heavy guard, a Huangluo umbrella cover in the middle is getting closer and closer, and the Panlong flag is embroidered with the words Han Wang, Yang, etc., which is flying with the wind, hunting and hunting.

The curtain of the car has been rolled up, and Wen Sheng's eyes are very good. I saw Yang Haojian sitting in the car from a distance, and he didn't see him for two years, and he didn't look like he had changed much. The lips are very thin, and the relationship between the ears and eyes in the army for about the past two years has added a layer of evil between the eyebrows.

Yang Haojian raised his hand, the car stopped, and the two met together, Ji Nantang led everyone forward to salute, Yang Haojian was very polite. He looked at Ji Nantang with a smile and said, "Nantang, we haven't seen each other for a long time." ”

Ji Nantang did not echo. Just saluted: "His Royal Highness the King of Han." ”

Yang Haojian's gaze stared at his face for a moment before turning to Mi Jingyang.

He had obviously made preparations before he came, and he was very familiar with the generals in the army, and he talked and laughed freely. There is no sense of distance to it.

Listen to Ji Nantang said. A reception banquet had already been prepared in Huaning City, and Yang Haojian smiled and waved his hand: "I know that you have had a very hard time in front of the two armies, so I specially brought some food to reward everyone." ”

He called his escort officer: "Hurry up and transport things into the city and help General Ji's subordinates prepare for the dinner." ”

The man was ordered to retreat, and Mi Jingyang sent a team to help.

Yang Haojian had a brief meeting with Ji Nantang and others, and rushed into the city before and after, Wen Sheng deliberately fell behind, wishing that the other party would not pay attention to him. She doesn't think that Yang Haojian will forget the original festival after these two years, and a person's nature will not change. It's just that it's darker, more moody.

Because he saw through that Yang Haojian was a villain who acted without scruples and would repay him, Wen Sheng was ready to be blocked by soldiers and covered by water.

At this time, Wen Sheng suddenly felt that a hot gaze fell on him.

She turned her head to look and saw that in Yang Haojian's team, there was a white-robed young general staring at her, not only looking, but also frowning. The young general's white helmet and white armor, the sun shines, and the light is bright and bright, but this person's facial features are very familiar, but which one is not Yang Lanyi?

Wen Sheng couldn't help but laugh silently, why is this kid dressed like this, how hot is it, he listens to too many storytelling, singing, and operas, right?

Yang Lanyi saw Wen Sheng smile, and when she landed, she showed a smug look, raised an arm from the horse, and made a few tall and mighty movements.

Wen Sheng restrained his smile and bowed slightly at him.

I haven't seen each other for two years, but I didn't expect to see this little master again, and they would feel so cordial with each other.

Wen Sheng's eyes turned around Yang Lanyi, and he really found several acquaintances.

Yang Lanyi immediately sat in front of a big fat man, who turned out to be Gao Qi, the "tide drum" of Yuyin Society.

There are a few horses behind, and a bearded man shows half of his face from the gap in the crowd, don't think she can't recognize it if she hides it, Wang Thirteen!

The army entered the city in a hurry, Zhong Tianzheng accompanied Wen Sheng, saw her suddenly smile, followed her gaze, and naturally found Yang Lanyi, and couldn't help frowning.

Ji Nantang and Mi Jingyang accompanied Yang Haojian into the garden, and Bi Gong invited him to sit in the center, if it is an ordinary supervising army, it is not necessary to do this, but who makes the family also the king of Han, looking at the attitude of Emperor Jianzhao, it is likely that this is the next emperor.

Yang Haojian sat down, Ji Nantang and Mi Jingyang accompanied each other on the left and right, and the generals were polite to each other, and Fang Shi sat down according to the rank.

Like Wen Sheng, there is no rank and no rank, but according to the status and role of the musician, as well as her friendship with Ji Nantang, it makes sense to sit directly in the capital under Ji Nantang, but before Mi Jingyang's personal captain came to ask, Wen Sheng had already made it clear that he wanted to sit with the musicians of Xuanyin Pavilion.

The captain of the pro-soldier respected her opinion, and Wen Sheng sat in the last row of the hall.

Although sitting far away, Yang Haojian still noticed her.

Soon after the banquet, Yang Haojian said that he praised Ji Nantang, drank three cups with the generals, put down the cups, and a staff member on the side whispered a few words in his ear.

Yang Haojian raised his eyebrows and followed him to look at Wen Sheng.

The two looked at each other, and Yang Haojian looked interested: "Yo, isn't this Miss Gu?" How do you sit so far? ”

There were hundreds of people in the room looking at Wen Sheng, and Wen Sheng had to get up and salute: "See His Royal Highness the King of Han." ”

Yang Haojian smiled like a cat and mouse: "It was a misunderstanding at the beginning, isn't Miss Gu still resentful of this king?" ”

The generals looked at each other, all of them showing surprise. They didn't know what the second prince meant, could it be that Gu Leshi had offended him?

Wen Sheng said lightly: "The Holy One is in charge, the matter has been resolved, His Royal Highness the King of Han has been worried." ”

There was no sincerity in saying this, and Ji Nantang, who was sitting next to Yang Haojian, was secretly worried that Emperor Jianzhao was seriously ill. Yang Haojian supervised the army twice, and he was hot, who did he want to deal with. You don't even need to do it yourself, as long as you show an attitude, there are countless people who tend to be inflammatory.

Ji Nantang took the initiative to raise his glass and interrupt: "His Royal Highness the King of Han came to Baizhou, which is a great encouragement to the soldiers. ”

Yang Haojian glanced at Ji Nantang with a smile. Picked up the wine glass and dipped it on his lower lip, and said, "General Ji's chapter has been shown to this king, and he has won several big battles." Miss Gu and the musicians of Xuanyin Pavilion have played a pivotal role, which is really surprising and impressive. ”

He didn't give up, and brought the topic back to Wen Sheng.

Wen Sheng saw through the other party's sinister intentions immediately, and couldn't help frowning secretly. Yang Haojian said this, nothing more than to make the generals suspect that Ji Nantang was helping him to be greedy. Thus centrifugation.

"Back to Your Highness. Several battles were fought by the soldiers under General Ji's command, and I, the musician of Xuanyin Pavilion, only dared to call it the icing on the cake, but did not dare to call it important. ”

Yang Haojian looked at her and smiled: "Okay, even if the king said the wrong thing, today is a reward for the three armies, there are so many generals here, Miss Gu should not be so sharp." The way you look reminds me of General Feng. Hehe. ”

Feng Songchuan? The expressions of all the generals present became quite subtle, and even Hua Feizhou and the others looked a little uncomfortable.

Next, Mi Jingyang introduced the soldiers and musicians in Baizhou to Yang Haojian one by one, and when Zhong Tianzheng was mentioned, Yang Haojian's eyes were cold, and he stared at him for a long time without making a sound.

Zhong Tianzheng was sitting next to Wen Sheng, and Yang Haojian actually saw him early in the morning.

Although Yang Haojian has not been in the capital for a long time, he knows that Tan Linghui rejected his marriage because of this little white face. Compared with Gu Wensheng, this surnamed Zhong is a thorn in his eye.

Don't rush, take your time.

He retracted his gaze and smiled slowly: "This king is here, and he has also brought a few musicians, you are so close, you can also compare them to see who can kill more enemies." ”

Over there, Gao Qi hurriedly smiled and owed a debt.

This reception banquet was full of swords and swords, and for Wen Sheng, it was more tiring than going to the battlefield.

However, as early as when the news of Yang Haojian's supervision of Baizhou came, this qiē was within her expectations.

When the banquet was dismissed, Wen Sheng obviously felt that everyone was alienated from her.

After retaking Huaning, Wen Sheng and the musicians had a simple place to live in the city. It was already midnight when Wen Sheng went back, she didn't rush to wash and rest, lit the lamp, and closed the door of the room.

According to her estimate, there will be visitors tonight, and it will be interesting to see who comes first.

The first to step on the moonlight was Zhong Tianzheng.

The two of them didn't drink much wine at the banquet, and Zhong Tianzheng's first sentence when he entered the door was: "You can see it, Yang Haojian is still worried about settling old accounts with you, if you still have illusions, it is better for me to arrange it, you honestly go back to Beijing to stay, otherwise I may not be able to protect you in case." ”

Yang Haojian's step-by-step pressing did make Wen Sheng very impatient, but she had her own insistence: "If I don't rescue Cheng Guogong, I will never return to Beijing." ”

So far, some Dongyi prisoners have also been captured here, but they are all ordinary soldiers, and they have been interrogated one by one, and they have not heard any news from Li Chengyun.

Not only Wen Sheng and Ji Nantang were in a hurry, but the dozens of people who Lu gave her were about to go crazy, and they all worked hard together to find Mi Jingyang.

Before Zhong Tianzheng could say anything, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside.

The soldiers also tried to report: "Master Gu Le, two guests have come." Yang Lanyi's voice couldn't wait to sound: "What guest?" Miss Gu and I are good friends, friends of life and death. Ha ha! ”

Zhong Tianzheng frowned slightly, the soldiers outside couldn't stop him, and Yang Lanyi had already arrived at the door.

“…… Gu Gu Gu, I miss me, I haven't seen you for two years, do you miss me? ”

Wen Sheng turned her head and saw Yang Lanyi coming in happily, she was a little ashamed for a while, to be honest, she really hadn't thought much about Yang Lanyi in the past two years.

Yang Lanyi entered the house, only to find that Zhong Tianzheng was also there.

"Hey, Senior Brother Zhong is also here, just right, I don't have to run alone."

Wen Sheng got up and greeted him, saying that it was the two, and it was Wang Shisan who followed the door behind Yang Lanyi.

Being disturbed by others, Zhong Tianzheng saw Yang Lanyi's eyebrows fluttering, staring at Wen Sheng with a shiny look, and really wanted to tell him for a while, "Don't call me senior brother, you have been fired by Xuanyin Pavilion", endured it, and said lightly: "What are you looking for me to do?" ”

Yang Lanyi smiled "haha": "Good friend, you and Senior Brother Zhuo Xuanzhuo and I have to meet next to each other, by mistake, or we can fight a team battle together." ”

Then he turned to Wang Thirteen: "Let me introduce, this is Wang Thirteen, this is Senior Brother Zhong, haha, don't look at Senior Brother Zhong's indifference to people, in fact, he is the most enthusiastic." ”

Wen Sheng really wanted to ask Yang Lanyi: Where did you see that Zhong Tianzheng was enthusiastic? He's impatient, don't you see?

However, I haven't seen each other for two years, and the relationship between Yang Lanyi and Wang Shisan seems to be a lot closer.

Wang 13 smiled "hehe": "It's cold on the outside and hot on the inside, I really haven't seen it!" After speaking, he glanced at Wen Sheng.

This sentence came from Yang Lanyi's words, it was nothing in itself, but it came out of Wang Shisan's mouth with a bit of a joke for some reason, and it tasted weird.

Zhong Tianzheng lowered his face: "Don't dare to be." ”

These two people come and go, but Yang Lanyi is entangled with Wen Sheng, chattering, talking about the situation after parting.

Wen Sheng saw that the soldiers had retreated, and closed the door with her own hands, just as she had something to ask Yang Lanyi.

"Why did your uncle suddenly accept Zhao'an?"

Yang Lanyi scratched her head and lowered her voice: "If you don't recruit An, there is no way to live, there is a heavy miasma on the Feiyun River, and the place where we stayed began to be unconscious, and many people fell ill after a long time, my eldest cousin was seriously ill and died, and then my little cousin was also bedridden, and if I don't descend, my uncle should be dead." ”

I have never heard of this Wen Sheng. It turned out that one of Wang Guangji's two sons had died.

She looked at Yang Lanyi with some suspicion: "It looks like you don't look like you're in trouble." ”

Yang Lanyi didn't understand Wen Sheng's meaning, smiled, clenched her fist and fiddled with the muscles on her arm: "That's, I'm strong." ”

"Who brought it up, and all of you agreed to surrender?"

Yang Lanyi frowned and thought about it: "My uncle asked everyone, anyway, I agreed, I want to see you, Yuan Kai also agreed, Wang Er and Wang San agreed, Wang Thirteen, what about you?" ”

Wang 13 shrugged his shoulders: "I'll be casual, listen to the eldest brother." ”

There are still many unclear places about this matter, but Yang Lanyi obviously can't say anything more.

"You two are here, what about the others?" Wen Sheng wanted to know how Emperor Jianzhao treated Wang Guangji and his subordinates.

Yang Lanyi said: "The matter of Zhao'an was discussed by the second prince, and it helped a lot from it, this time not only did I and Wang 13 come with him, but also Wang Jiu and Wang 10, and I will introduce you to you another day." By the way, why did the second prince treat you like that just now, as if he had a grudge. ”

Wen Sheng let out an "um" and did not answer.

Yang Lanyi said again: "Wang Er and Wang San were left in Beijing by the emperor, they changed their surnames, and my uncle didn't dare to send a few of them in the future, by the way, and Yuan Kai, they wanted to follow the second prince to Baizhou, but, you know, they have a grudge against the surname Gao."
