Chapter 417: Celebration Banquet
Huaxing and the others immediately raised their glasses in return, and as they drank all the wine in their cups, today's banquet officially began.
With so many soldiers gathered together to celebrate, apart from food, it was the fastest consumption of fine wine.
In less than ten minutes, the hundred jars of fine wine have bottomed out.
While the next person was preparing wine, Cao Cao suddenly stood up, and walked to Huaxing's side in full view of everyone:
"General Hua, your great kindness and great virtue, Cao will definitely remember it for the rest of your life! No matter what happens in the future, as long as you General Hua speaks, Cao Mou will go all out, even if it is a sword mountain and a sea of fire, I Cao Mengde will not give up! ”
After expressing his gratitude to Hua Xing with the strength of wine, Cao Cao changed his voice and asked the other party about the assassination not long ago:
"But then again, my brother is still confused. Did an assassin really sneak in that day? Or is it ...... You designed it, huh? ”
As soon as these words came out, I saw that the generals in the hall immediately stopped laughing, and almost all eyes were on Huaxing.
Seeing this scene, Huaxing also knew that he still owed everyone an explanation, so he took this opportunity to stand up:
"Before, due to the urgency of time, I couldn't tell the truth, which made everyone worried, Hua Mou is here to accompany you first."
After bowing and apologizing to everyone in the hall, Hua Xingfang continued:
"On that day, four men did come to assassinate them. Hua was careless for a while, and almost fell into the road. But fortunately, there was a strong man who helped me through the difficulties. ”
As soon as he heard that Huaxing was rescued, Zhang Liao, who was sitting behind him, was the first to jump up:
"Oh? Is there such a thing? Who saved you? Do I recognize me? ”
"Hehe, not only do you know, but she ...... Yes, there is! ”
With a long tail note, Hua Xing's fingers stopped on the body of a woman in black beside Lu Lingqi:
"She is General Lu's friend-Wu Fan."
After seeing the appearance of the woman in black, Zhang Liao was immediately stunned:
"You, you're ...... Wu Fan? That, Wu Fan, one of the 'double ugly'? How did you become a woman? ”
That's right!
This person is Wu Fan, who was called the "double ugly man in the mine" by everyone together with Lu Lingqi before.
But today, she did not wear a man's costume or a human skin mask, and for the first time her delicate face was revealed.
If you talk about posture alone, it is really no worse than Lu Lingqi.
"Little girl Wu Fan, I've seen all the generals. Before...... Because of my gender, I haven't dared to see each other in my true face, so I hope you won't be surprised. Under Huaxing's introduction, Wu Fan said hello to everyone generously.
"Good fellow, so you're also a woman, huh? No wonder Lingqi has to live with you...... Hehe, now I'm relieved! ”
After nodding with relief, I heard Zhang Liao bring the topic back again:
"Hey, how did you save my master?"
Wu Fan nodded his head and said:
"On that day, I was going to report the military situation to the general, but as soon as I walked outside the door, I heard the sound of fighting in the tent. I immediately rushed into the tent and helped the general block it for a while......"
"Oh, is that so? That's a coincidence......"
After nodding his head in understanding, he listened to Zhang Liao ask again:
"You killed the assassin too?"
"Not really. I only helped the General block the blow, and then it was my turn to intervene, and all four Assassins were killed by the General. ”
"Well, it's like my master's style...... But no matter what, I am very grateful to the girl, please accept Wen Yuan's worship! ”
After figuring out the reason, Zhang Liao knelt down without hesitation and kowtowed to his master's life-saving benefactor to show his gratitude.
Seeing this scene, Huaxing couldn't help but sigh, and at the same time cast a grateful glance at Wu Fan.
Because among the people present, he was the only one who knew that Wu Fan didn't actually tell the truth.
On that day, she didn't go to report the military situation at all, but specifically to rescue herself.
Wu Fan seems to be low-key, but in fact, she has a special identity:
She is the mysterious teammate who wrote a letter to Huaxing before - 9647.
As early as a few days ago, Wu Fan heard through his own intelligence network that Lu Pu had issued an assassination order to Huaxing.
In order to prevent Huaxing from being killed, she has been secretly protecting Huaxing and implementing round-the-clock surveillance.
Therefore, when the four of Jian Ding swarmed into the Huaxing military tent, Wu Fan, who was guarding outside the tent, was already vigilant.
Hearing the slightest strange noise in the tent, she rushed into the tent as soon as possible and blocked the fatal blow for Huaxing.
However, because this matter involves Wu Fan's origin and identity, it is inconvenient for Huaxing to say it in public.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and then brushed the matter off for the time being.
"Huh? That's not right, master! ”
Not long after, Zhang Liao frowned again:
"I remember checking your body at that time, and you weren't breathing at all! W-How is this done? ”
"Hehe, after the incident, I called Hua Lao over as soon as possible, not to treat my injuries, but to let him give me a kind of medicine, which can make people enter a state of suspended animation in a short time. Not only is the breathing very small, but even the pulse is flickering, which is enough to deceive ordinary people's examination. ”
"Oh! It turned out to be a favor from Hua Lao's help? No, no, I'm going to have to pour him a few cups today! How unreasonable could you have lied to me for so long! ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw Zhang Liao raise a wine jar and walk quickly towards Hua Tuo......
"General Hua, I still have something to understand."
As soon as Zhang Liao walked on the front foot, Lu Lingqi stood up on the back foot:
"I know that you are doing this to deceive Er Yuan, but why are you even deceiving us? Don't...... Can't you even trust me, Wen Yuan, and Zilong? ”
"The girl is mistaken! It's not that Hua can't trust you, but because the enemy is too shrewd, he has to fake it......"
Speaking of this, Huaxing couldn't help but sigh:
"To tell you the truth, when I see you sad and sad for me, I am also very uncomfortable and uncomfortable in my heart. But then again, if you didn't fight to avenge me, and without the two generals Gao and Yang abandoning the city, how could Er Yuan be gullible about this? I knew I had gone too far, and I had lost a lot of soldiers for it...... But for the sake of the final victory, I still deceived everyone ruthlessly, so that everyone was tired, and I ask you to accept Hua again! ”
Speaking of this, Huaxing's face once again showed deep apologies, and he hugged his fists and bowed.
"Hey! Brother is serious! ”
Cao Cao, who was standing opposite, shook his head and helped Hua Xing up:
"You don't need to apologize! On the contrary, we should all be grateful to you. Generally speaking, with 70,000 to 90,000, at least half of the casualties must be killed or wounded before the battle can be fought, and it is difficult to say which will win or lose. But now, thanks to my brother's clever plan, we have not only won, but also kept most of the soldiers alive, isn't that worth celebrating? A scam like this, a hundred more times, I am willing to be deceived! Hehe, come on, come on, let my brother toast you again, today...... Let's not get drunk and don't go home! ”
Under Cao Cao's shouting, all the generals in the hall echoed and raised the wine glasses in their hands at Huaxing.
