Chapter 193: Negotiations Begin

Qingzhou, as the state city of Jingxi Road and a first-class big city in Shandong, has a tall and thick city wall.

Dong Ping looked around, under the light of the setting sun, the bricks on the city wall were all mottled.

The quaint city walls and the sunlight are intertwined, giving people an indescribable feeling in their hearts, as if the whole soul has been baptized by history.

There have been too many wars in this land.

Qingzhou, similar to Xuzhou, has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times.

From ancient times to the Three Kingdoms period, the complex situation in this area, as well as hundreds of wars in later generations, all demonstrate the importance of this region.

Not to mention, Qingzhou's commercial prosperity and city are only developed, and it can be said that Qingzhou is currently the second largest city in Shandong after Dongping.

The group rode horses all the way through the city gates, strolling through this quaint street, watching the light of the remnant sun reflected in this ancient city in the 12th century, giving people a feeling of physical and mental comfort.

Dong Ping took a deep breath, only to feel a trace of soul breath activated.

Suddenly, the echo of a horse's hooves stepping on the bluestone slab was getting closer and closer, Dong Ping raised his head and looked, only to feel that a familiar figure was galloping in front of him.

What did Dong Ping look like when he looked at that person? Dan:

Lupine scarf, with the measure of Guan Zhong Leyi, the dragon lying in the mountains, the means of helping the world and the sky, the length of the eight feet of the face of the crown jade, the spirit of the heroic state.

There is also a poem "Wolong Yin" praised

The world sighs in the forests of Longyin Mountain

Talk and laugh to destroy the enemy's opponents

This person is extraordinary, who is not the Taishou of Qingzhou, the Shangshu of the Great Song Dynasty Army, and the commander of the soldiers and horses of the East and West Roads of Shanxi?

"It turned out to be Lord Zhennanhou, and I am fortunate to meet you."

Wen Huanzhang jumped off the horse and walked over with a smile under the escort of everyone.

"Wen Shangshu doesn't have to be modest, just call me Dong Ping." Dong Ping also dismounted, arched his hand and smiled: "I didn't know we came this time, but when?"

Wen Huanzhang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled randomly: "Brother Dong, where are you talking, you can come to Qingzhou and talk to Xiaosheng, this Qingzhou City is full of brilliance."

Dong Ping smiled: "If you are so polite again, I will be embarrassed to come to you in the future."

"Hehe, Brother Dong laughed." Wen Huanzhang smiled casually: "This Qingzhou City should have been yours, and it is natural to have two cities with your title."

"Alas, Wen Shangshu's words are not right." Dong Ping and his entourage got on the horse, smiled and waved their hands and said, "If you want to trade privately, I, Dong Ping, don't do this kind of disobedient behavior with the court behind my back."

Wen Huanzhang rode a horse, and while letting people lead the way to Pingxian Residence, he smiled on the horse and said: "Brother Dong, what you said is not right, I have already submitted the letter to the imperial court, I voluntarily resigned and went into hiding, and the imperial court will send down the letter of appointment of Qingzhou Taishou sooner or later."

Dong Ping just smiled and didn't say anything more.

Under the guidance of Wen Huanzhang and others, Dong Ping and his party went up to the third floor and came to the hall, where the banquet had already been set up, and it was obvious that they had already prepared.

At this time, Shi Bao was gone.

Wen Huanzhang looked at Dong Ping with suspicion in his eyes, so he explained with a smile: "Today happens to be Xiaosheng's thirtieth birthday, so this banquet is just set."

Dong Ping just smiled: "Then, there is no need for all the guests in the future to be dismissed, why don't you let everyone come out and get together together?"

As soon as Dong Ping said this, the people on Wen Huanzhang's side suddenly moved their eyes, as if they were going to make some moves.

Wen Huanzhang was silent for a moment, but still smiled: "Brother Dong's words are also reasonable, come here, let all the guests come up."

After a while, those guests had already come up from the second floor, and when they saw Dong Ping, their eyes suddenly showed a somewhat strange look.

Finally, someone recognized Dong Ping, and a member of the staff came closer, and said in an excited tone: "Dare to ask Your Excellency, but is it Lord Dong in the east of the town?"

Dong Ping looked at this person's appearance, just smiled and said: "It's not talented, it's just a little vain, it's all about contributing to the country, if you talk about talent, I don't have as much as Wen Shangshu."

The outsider didn't know what to say for a while, so he smiled awkwardly, retreated with his family, and found a seat to sit down.

Wen Huanzhang walked over, looked at Dong Ping and said with a smile: "Brother Dong, you are a little student."

Dong Ping just pulled a chair and sat down, and said with a casual smile: "Okay, we won't talk about this at your birthday banquet, come, I will respect Mr. Xia for a cup, I wish Mr. all his wishes come true in the future, and Shoubi Nanshan!"

After speaking, Dong Ping picked up the bronze wine bottle and drank three glasses in a row with Wen Huanzhang.

"That's okay, Brother Dong, I have to drink with a few old friends, don't pass it for the time being." Wen Huanzhang smiled and arched his hand, and then went to the other table.

At this time, the atmosphere in the hall was lively, and the crowd echoed each other, some congratulated and sent congratulatory messages, some took the opportunity to talk about business, and there were also people who were matchmakers for their children and pulled each other's relatives abound.

"Big brother, look at what kind of calculation is in Wen Huanzhang's stomach!" Yang Zaixing lowered his voice on the side and said: "Looking at him like this, it's not like the Hongmen Banquet, and he doesn't ask why we came to Qingzhou City in advance, don't you think this is a bit abnormal?"

Dong Ping leaned back in the chair, his hands casually on top, and shook his right hand slightly with a glass of red wine brewed by himself.

Hearing Yang Zaixing say this, he still looked at the wine swaying in the candlelight, and didn't say anything for a long time, but there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Big brother, don't you really care at all!" Yang Zaixing looked at Dong Ping with a leisurely and complacent expression, and immediately became anxious.

"Wen Huanzhang is not a simple person, although we have asked Brother Yun to go to the city to contact Brother Tang Bin, but if something happens in this restaurant, even the gods can't save ......."

Before Yang Zaixing finished speaking, he only felt that a glass of wine had arrived in front of his eyes.

"Brother, are you hungry and talking nonsense?" Dong Ping put down the wine glass in his hand, sat up straight and smiled: "Taste my good wine first before talking, today is a banquet, don't talk about other miscellaneous things."

Yang Zaixing didn't want to say anything more, so he simply picked up the glass of wine and drank it all.

"Brother Dong Ping, don't despise him too much."

Li Qingzhao frowned, and said: "Wen Huanzhang is not to be underestimated, if something really happens, I am afraid that it will be difficult to remedy."

"Okay, I know about this, if I'm afraid of this or that, then it's not me Dong Ping." Dong Ping held his chin with his right hand, and tapped the table with his left hand casually and said, "Since I dare to say so, I must have this confidence."

Yang Zaixing was about to say something more, but the outsider had already walked over again.
