After the guard left,

Xu Shu was the only one left in the house,

He sat down slowly,

Stretch out a hand,

Gently tapping on the tabletop,

This habit was learned from Lu Bu,

Every time before a major action,

He's going to be thinking,

Unconsciously tapping lightly on the table,

The crisp sound came rhythmically,

Xu Shu carefully recalled today's plan,

See if there's anything missing.

Time passes quietly imperceptibly,

Xu Shu was motionless in the room, thinking,

No one came into the house to disturb him.

Unconsciously,

The sun outside began to sink in the west,

Xu Shu closed his eyes tightly,

Seems to be unaware of the changes outside.

I don't know how long it has been.

The guard who went out came in quickly,

came to Xu Shu and stood solemnly,

Xu Shu's eyelids trembled slightly,

Open your eyes to the guard,

Asked softly:

"Are you ready?"

The guard nodded,

Xu Shu's eyes suddenly opened when he heard this,

Across a ray of light,

He stood up and walked straight out.

Outside the door, the moon is as cool as water,

At this time, it is still late spring,

It's still dark early,

The moon climbed the treetops early,

Cool moonlight,

Rendered a layer of coolness to the earth,

Xu Shu walked slowly with his hands behind his back,

Turning his gaze to the bright moon in the sky,

A smile appeared on his lips,

He chuckled softly:

"It's a good night tonight."

The guards beside him followed him step by step,

Although I don't understand why Xu Shi expressed such feelings,

But he just glanced up at the former's back,

He immediately lowered his head again.

Xu Shu clasped his hands tightly behind his back,

seems to have made up his mind,

He strode out.

The venue for the banquet is the largest restaurant in the city, the Banquet Building.

Speaking of this banquet building,

That's famous,

Even in Ye County, it is very famous,

Even many people thought they could go into the VIP room to eat,

As a symbol and manifestation of status.

The owner of the banquet building is called Zhang Laifu,

Ordinary name, ordinary appearance,

Doing business is extremely unusual,

The banquet building was originally just a small restaurant,

After he took over,

In just three years,

Let the banquet building take the lead in Linshui County.

Zhang Laifu has a habit,

Every time you encounter something important and need to make a choice,

He will pour himself a small pot of osmanthus to burn,

After a slow drink,

The decision was basically made.

On this day, in the early afternoon,

He received a letter from Mr. Xu Shu in the city,

In the evening he shall set up a table in his banquet building,

The feast was full of people with heads and faces in the city,

For another boss,

I'm sure I'm going to be very happy,

You must know that these people are either rich or expensive,

It's not easy to see one on weekdays,

Today we are all together,

Let's not talk about how much silver can be earned from this banquet,

This honor alone,

That's priceless.

It is impossible for Zhang Laifu not to understand this truth,

When he got the news,

The face is like a brilliant chrysanthemum blooming,

Anyone can see this rich and lovely hotel owner,

That joyful appearance.

However, when Zhang Laifu returned to his room with a spring breeze on his face,

From the moment the door closes gently,

Suddenly, the whole face became gloomy,

His face was ugly, as if he could form ice.

Slowly walking into the room,

Pick up a jar of osmanthus from a small compartment,

Underneath that little jar of wine,

Pressed against a thin piece of paper,

Zhang Laifu picked up the piece of paper,

After reading the above carefully,

His face finally softened,

even faintly revealed a weird smile,

After he burned the finished piece of paper to ashes with an oil lamp,

Pick up that little jar of osmanthus burning,

Slowly poured himself a glass,

Sipping it in small sips,

After a while, the window behind him was gently pushed open,

A thin figure suddenly flashed into the room.

Zhang Laifu was not surprised,

Apparently knowing the identity of the comer,

Just with his back to the window,

An angry expression appeared on his face uncontrollably,

But he quickly disguised his anger,

Replace the smiling look on weekdays,

"We're all in place tonight."

The visitor was wrapped in black night clothes,

It's the dress of a ninja,

The tone of the speech is very cold and hard,

And there is also a condescending posture.

Zhang Laifu sat and didn't move,

poured a cup of osmanthus for the masked man,

Motioning for the other person to drink,

Only then did he slowly speak:

"It's hard work, but I still don't understand, do you really want to do it tonight?"

The masked man put the raised glass down again and said:

"What? Do you dare to question your father-in-law's decision? ”

Zhang Laifu hurriedly smiled and waved his hand, saying that he didn't dare to dare,

But deep in my heart, there was a deep murderous intent,

It's just that he disguised it perfectly,

Even if sitting across from him is an assassination expert,

I didn't notice it.

The masked man looked at Zhang Laifu coldly,

He said commandingly:

"It's good to know! We are the helpers invited by your father-in-law, and since we ask for our help, we must act according to our plan, which is also approved by your father-in-law! ”

Zhang Laifu smiled,

Whispered:

"Yes, yes, you are right, we naturally have to act according to your orders, and we are also being overly careful, please forgive me."

The masked man's eyes narrowed slightly,

patted Zhang Laifu on the shoulder and said:

"It's good to be careful, but you also have to be clear about when and to whom. With our masters of the Wa Kingdom, there is nothing that cannot be done, you can rest assured of this. ”

The attitude of the masked man is arrogant and frivolous,

It seems that he is teaching Zhang Laifu in the posture and tone of the above-level person,

Zhang Laifu still smiled humbly and enthusiastically,

It seems that the other party is a matter of course.

"My lord, how do you look at this, at the dinner today, I will arrange you in the dark, and when the time is right, I will throw a cup as a number, and then you will come out and do it."

The masked man's eyes narrowed slightly,

looked at Zhang Laifu with burning eyes,

Silent and did not speak,

For a while, the atmosphere became a little solemn,

After a while, the masked man finally nodded,

It can be regarded as agreeing to Zhang Laifu's proposal.

The sky began to darken,

The masked man looked at the sky,

Quietly left the room.

Zhang Laifu always had a smile on his face,

Until after the tea time,

His smile was put away,

He glanced at it with disgust,

The masked man's used wine glass,

With a wave of his hand, he threw it directly to the ground,

Hurriedly took out a hand towel to wipe the hand that had just touched the wine glass,

Thrown to the ground in disgust.

The bottom of the eye crossed the deep murderous machine,

It's getting dark, and the book bar is up

Zhang Laifu drank the last cup of osmanthus roast,

Slowly put away the jar and glass,

The harmless smile of humans and animals was put on his face again,

There's still a little time before the dinner party,

However, Zhang Laifu, as a landlord,

He also needed to come out early to entertain the crowd.

It's just getting dark outside,

The banquet upstairs is already very lively,

As the largest restaurant in the city,

The popularity here is really extraordinary.

The hall on the first floor is especially lively,

The noise is endless,

Suddenly, for a moment everyone fell silent,

The hall was eerily quiet,

A young man walked into the hall of the restaurant with a thousand manners,

Just a slight pause,

Arched his hand towards the people in the hall,

It's kind of said hello,

Immediately after, the atmosphere in the hall was boiling,

"General Xu Zhonglang!"

"I've seen Mr. Xu!"

"I've seen General Xu Zhonglang!"

"Hello Mr. Xu!"

……

The warm greetings are endless,

almost filled the entire restaurant,

It was Xu Shu Xu Yuanzhi who appeared in the hall,

He went to Jizhou this time,

There is also an official identity,

The Zhonglang general of the imperial court,

As a result, many are commensurate with their official positions.

After Xu Shu came to Linshui County,

Unlike other officials,

He doesn't have any official authority,

On the contrary, it is very close to the people,

The people who are always in the city are not divided into three religions and nine streams,

We all get along with each other well,

Not only has it won a good name,

It has gained a great main force,

Now at war with Yuan Shao,

Many people in the city turned to firmly support Lu Bu's army,

That's where it comes from.

Xu Shu greeted everyone all the way,

Surrounded by the crowd, he slowly walked up to the third floor,

There is the top floor of the banquet building,

At the same time, it is also a place to entertain VIPs.

It was the place where they had this banquet.

The door of the banquet hall has long been opened,

A whole gate made of rosewood,

In this already high-end banquet building,

is even more outstanding,

Two beautiful girls with slender bodies at the door bowed their heads and made ten thousand blessings,

should be followed by Xu Shu's arrival.

Xu Shu had a reserved smile on the corner of his mouth,

Natural and steady,

Slowly walked into the main hall,

It's already full of friends,

Although he was the organizer of this banquet,

But his identity is there, after all,

So at last enter this house,

No one will find anything wrong with it,

Even now, the house is full of important people in the waterfront city.

"Xu is busy with official business, and the result is late, please do a lot of Haihan!"

Xu Shu came to the main seat,

The man has not yet sat down,

First hugged his fist and made a circle,

Those who didn't dare to sit down hurriedly returned the salute,

After Xu Shu sat down,

Then everyone sat down.

"You are all outstanding people in Linshui City, and I am really grateful to be able to give this thin face today, thank you!"

After Xu Shu sat down, he then picked up his wine glass,

Everyone had to raise their glasses and stand up,

sat back in his position at Xu Shu's signal,

Xu Shu raised his head and toasted,

After looking around at the crowd and seeing that everyone had finished drinking,

Then he put down his glass,

Gently picked up a piece of beef and put it in your mouth,

Chewed and chewed,

By the way, I glanced around at the people present,

In the VIP room of this banquet building is a huge round table,

Enough for thirty people to sit,

There are nearly twenty of you here today,

It's very spacious.

Zhang Laifu sat directly opposite Xu Shu,

According to the rules of the wine table,

This position is called a co-accompaniment,

It is to help the people who are the owners to entertain the guests,

It is an extremely important location.

It stands to reason that in terms of Zhang Laifu's identity and status,

It is impossible to sit in such a position that no one who is not close to him cannot hold it.

However, Xu Shu personally arranged for him to sit here,

Let Zhang Laifu be flattered,

The smile on his face was even brighter.

Xu Shu smiled at him and nodded,

And then look to the left-hand side,

Sitting first on the left hand is a middle-aged man,

has a clear appearance, the most iconic is his goatee,

The middle-aged man's name is Zhen Lu,

is the spokesperson of the Zhongshan Zhen family in Linshui City,

Although the Zhen family is not the most vocal in Linshui City,

But now Linshui has the final say on Lu Bu's side,

The Zhen family is naturally rising,

Sitting in the highest position.

Then came the Li family, the Wang family and other gentlemen.

Xu Shu then spoke:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have no other meaning to invite you this time, first, I want to be close to you, after all, we still need to deal with more in the future; Second......"

Xu Shu paused,

looked around at the crowd,

Everyone turned their heads to look,

Most people's eyes are full of curiosity,

Only a handful of people,

The gaze becomes very deep.

"Second, everyone also knows that now that our army and Yuan Shao are at war, I don't want to suddenly encounter the dilemma of a fire in the backyard when the battle is snoring in front of me. Therefore, I want to confirm, all of us here, what is it? ”

Xu Shu said here,

didn't go on and on,

His eyes swept over the faces of all the people in the room,

And the faces of the people were different,

Most of the people's faces began to become hesitant,

They are all begging for a living in the waterfront city all year round,

Now that it has taken root,

has a certain achievement,

It can be said that most of them are vassals of the Yuan Shao family,

Or have an intimate relationship,

Otherwise, it would not be possible to grow great in this city.

Now, the head of the waterfront city has changed its flag,

Lu Bujun entered Linshui strongly,

They're honest people who do their own business.

On the one hand, businessmen have always been profitable.

It has little to do with them who will be the master of this city.

As long as it doesn't affect their money,

Second, in troubled times,

Changing the courtyard is a normal thing,

But most of the time,

Neither side will make it clear in public,

After all, it's not a glorious thing,

Generally, everyone tacitly

The water to the canal has passed excessively,

However, this time, Xu Shu said it openly on such an occasion,

It is tantamount to asking everyone present to take a stand,

This is a bit of a forced palace.

The atmosphere in the room couldn't help but become tense,

Xu Shu's words also made the vast majority of people,

Feeling a little unexpected,

They all thought that

Today's dinner is nothing but,

Xu Shu wants to pull in the relationship with everyone,

And then do the cliché mobilization.

However, everyone present is a human being.

In an instant, I understood Xu Shu's intentions,

Thinking that Lu Bujun and Yuan Shaojun are going to have a big war,

And the battlefield between the two sides happens to be this waterfront city,

Although the situation today seems to be,

Xu's side has been victorious,

Gain a huge advantage,

But Yuan Shao has a deep background after all,

Who can predict the future of war?
