Chapter 33: The Night Banquet I

In the evening, the Qin army camped

Wang Li was changing his clothes, although he was talking about defending against the enemy, but he was also going to someone's house for a banquet, and it was really not good to wear too much murderous aura.

So Wang Li changed into civilian clothes, but he himself was handsome and had a straight temperament, even if he wore casual clothes, he still looked sassy and capable.

At this time, Zhao Cheng was already ready, and when he entered the camp tent, he hugged his fists: "General, it's time to go." ”

Wang Li turned his head to look at Zhao Cheng, and sure enough, the other party's clothes and accessories were also luxurious and dignified, plus their family's ancestral "superior" size, it was really heroic.

"Zhao Duwei's appearance is really good, I guess the daughter of the Ma family is afraid that she won't be able to walk, hahaha." Wang Li looked up and smiled and quipped.

Zhao Cheng's face was slightly red after hearing this, and he didn't know what to say, so he quickly changed the topic and said: "General, both of us are going to the banquet, who is in charge of the work of this camp?" ”

According to the law, the principal and deputy generals cannot leave the barracks at the same time, but this time Wang Li deliberately wanted to match Zhao Cheng and Ai Li, so he made an exception and took him with him.

Wang Li naturally knew Zhao Cheng's worries, and immediately spoke: "Don't worry, Zang Shuo will stay in the camp, don't look at him as just my personal soldier."

But in fact, since my grandfather, Zang Shuo has been serving on the sidelines, commanding thousands of people under the influence of his ears and eyes. And the three hidden dangers in this camp will also be taken away by General Ben. ”

Although Zhao Cheng didn't know Zang Shuo, he intuitively felt that he was not simple, so he just asked, "Is the general going to take Li Guo away?" No longer interrogated here? ”

Wang Li waved his hand: "Interrogation what?" When they asked for the first time, they said everything they could say, and it was none other than Luo Rucai who was the culprit.

Now Luo Rucai is unconscious, and we lack medical treatment here, so we can't verify the truth of what they said with their confessions. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Li couldn't help frowning, Li Guo and Li Yan's mouth was so strict, even if a young man like Li Laiheng didn't speak.

Even many of the rogues were tight-lipped, and the rest were vague, which also cast a shadow on his plan to recruit the rogues, after all, no one could trust a person who was full of lies.

"Then the patrols of our army are as usual? Do you want to give Liukou a little more food? Zhao Cheng asked again.

Wang Li also nodded: "I will tell Zang Shuo to do it, and I will also spread the news that the imperial court has brought grain and grass to further destroy the confidence of the captives." ”

"Shogun Takami!" Zhao Chengyi hugged his fists in agreement.

Wang Li smiled slightly at this time: "Don't say so much, the main task tonight is to have a good relationship with the Hui Department and discuss further defense against the enemy, and the rest is still as usual." ”

Zhao Cheng nodded and acquiesced in Wang Li's words, after all, the Qin army is now rootless, and must temporarily rely on the support of the Hui Department.

Wang Li instructed: "Then bother Captain Zhao to go and deploy, and then we will get up." ”

"Hey!" Zhao Cheng took the order and hurriedly withdrew from the camp, but Wang Li, who was alone, showed a sneer.

Half an hour later, Wang Li and the others had already come to Mali Mansion.

As soon as they got off the horse, the two noticed that this small courtyard was not ordinary, although the place was not large, but the design was quite exquisite, it seemed that they would have a different experience at this banquet.

Mali had already taken his son out to greet him at the gate, and when he saw the two of them, he hurriedly stepped forward and said:

"General Wang, Captain Zhao, welcome, the arrival of the two of you really makes the humble house shine, please hurry!"

Wang Li and the two also returned the salute, and greeted: "Li and Zhao Duwei want to thank the horse commander, if you don't return to the ministry to support, our army can't eat cattle and sheep." ”

Seeing that Wang Li was so polite and completely devoid of the domineering attitude of the superior, Mali couldn't help but feel very good, and couldn't help but think that it would be a great blessing for his daughter to really marry such a talent, right?

Mali hurriedly stretched out his hand: "Hahaha, General Wang is serious, we are all His Majesty's people, what else do we have to share with each other, please go to the mansion and talk again." ”

Wang Li also made a gesture of invitation and smiled: "Hahaha, then we might as well obey our orders respectfully and join together." ”

"Okay, good, the old man will show the two of you." Saying that, Mali turned his head first, and Wang Li and others also followed.

At this time, Mark who was guarding the door saw that Wang Li and the others not only brought their own soldiers, but also brought three people with big ties and hoods.

Mark also saw Li Laiheng and others, and immediately understood that Wang Li was going to interrogate these rogues at his house, so he didn't ask more, but walked behind with a few personal soldiers, and Quan Dang helped escort them.

Then the group came to the hall of the Ma family, where the table and food had been set up, and the other big and small people in the Hui Department had also arrived, except for the old mentor, and waited for the king to leave them and take their seats.

Immediately, everyone sat down, and Wang Li looked at the whole roasted whole sheep, and said politely: "Commander Ma is really bankrupt." ”

Mali also responded: "Eh, the soldiers came from afar, and they defeated the thieves and robbers, and protected my return department, if we can't even provide some meat, won't we return to the department and become ungrateful villains?" ”

Wang Li laughed and said nothing, thinking that it seems that the Hui Department is still loyal at present.

At this time, Mark also walked in: "Father, General Wang, the leader of the thieves has been placed next to him, so that you can be interrogated at any time." ”

Wang Li nodded: "I came here to discuss with the commander how to resist the rogue troops that may come." ”

Mali frowned and said: "Thousands of people have been arrested for this kind of bandits, how can there still be troops?" ”

Mali is the orthodox period of the Ming Dynasty, at this time the hidden danger is mainly in the north of Wara, and the people in other areas are still passable, and there are some miners in the south of the Yangtze River who make trouble.

So even if the first to find the traces of the rogues was the young man he returned, he still couldn't believe that there would be so many bandits in the northwest.

Wang Li was a little surprised when he saw Mali, and he didn't explain much, but smiled slightly: "As long as Commander Ma waits, Li will naturally come up with evidence." ”

Mari could only nod suspiciously: "Then how does the general plan to deal with it?" ”

Wang Li said confidently: "Response? Are you ready to deal with it? And they don't come back! ”

Seeing that Wang Li had no plans to elaborate, Mali muttered a little in his heart, but now that he knew his level and the gap between the Hui youth and the Qin army, it was not easy to say more.

"In that case, the old man thanked the general first. Come on, come on, let's eat first, eat first! Mali politely haha, raised his hand and made a gesture of please.

Wang Li also hugged his fists in return, smiled and said nothing, and although Zhao Cheng next to him also hugged his fists, his heart was already up and down, because Wang Li didn't tell him what he was going to do!

Wang Li naturally noticed Zhao Cheng's embarrassment, and immediately said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Go back and explain again, pay attention to covering up." ”

Wang Li said this, Zhao Cheng could only bow slightly, and began to take care of the leg of mutton in front of him, but no matter how delicious it was, he couldn't taste it.

Mali looked at the crowd feasting, his mood recovered slightly, and then he clapped his hands, only to see several masked women enter the hall.

Only then did Mali speak: "The little girl was rescued from the thieves thanks to the arrival of the two generals, and today I heard that the old man was going to feast on the two, so he specially collected wine from other places, and gave them a full meal first." ”

As he spoke, the two masked women came to them with flasks and poured them a full glass.

Through the understanding of the past few days, Wang Li also knew that alcohol was forbidden in the Hui Department, so he was able to find wine specifically for this banquet, and he really attached great importance to them.

Although this violated the Qin military law, Wang Li had to drink it because of the hospitality, and then he raised his glass and said: "Li and the military general have just arrived, and thanks to the banquet of the commander, drink this cup first to show gratitude." ”

Saying that, Wang Li drank the cup of scarlet wine in one gulp, and Zhao Cheng hurriedly poured a cup.

"Good!" "General Wang, a lot of it!" "A true hero!"

Although no one in the Hui Department was allowed to drink, they had no less praise for Wang Li.

Wang Li immediately hugged his fists and politely exchanged words with a few Hui characters, and these words of praise did not make him change his mood in the slightest.

But the face of the masked woman next to him was already red under the veil. This woman is none other than Ai Li, the fan sister who loves Wang Li.

At this time, Mali proposed: "How can there be no singing and dancing without wine and meat, although our department has just lost many relatives, but the heroes who avenge them must get singing and dancing."

Ladies and girls, show your enthusiasm to General Wang, singing and dancing is the way of hospitality for our return to the department. ”

Immediately, several young people also walked in with excitement on their faces, gathered in the hall with the girls who poured wine, and began to prepare for singing and dancing.

Only Ai Li was still standing between Wang Li and Zhao Cheng with a red face, and she was already at a loss for what to do, and she was even more deaf to the full house of singing, dancing and laughter.
