Chapter 65: Going to the Feast

Five minutes later, Chen Gong walked out of Huaxing's dormitory.

The patrol leader who was ambushed aside, glanced at him, and more than a dozen officers and soldiers hurriedly followed.

After walking more than 100 meters, I saw the patrol captain say with a confused face:

"Lord Chen, why did you leave like this? We...... No arrests? ”

"Arrest?"

Hearing this, Chen Gong asked inexplicably: "Who are you arresting?" ”

"Huh? Didn't you let a few of us lie in ambush outside, saying that we heard the word 'coming' and rushed into the house? ”

The patrol leader was a little confused at the moment, not understanding what was going on.

I secretly said in my heart, could it be that Lord Chen was confused? Or is what happened just now all my own hallucination?

"Nonsense!"

After hearing this, he saw Chen Gong's face change suddenly, and shouted:

"When did I say I was going to arrest someone? You're not drunk and talking nonsense, are you? Hum! If you dare to talk nonsense again, see if I don't deal with it martialally! ”

Hearing the word "military law", the patrol captain weakened his legs on the spot, and almost fell to his knees, his lips purple with fright.

But soon, he understood something, and hurriedly hugged his fists and apologized, saying that he had made a mistake and that there was no "arrest" at all.

Hearing what the captain said, Chen Gong nodded with satisfaction.

casually threw a few taels of silver to the captain, without saying a single superfluous word, he turned around and walked towards the Lu Mansion.

Since I have communicated with Huaxing, it is necessary to report the situation to Lu Bu.

When he came to Lu's mansion and saw that General Lu was neither in the study nor in the bedroom, Chen Gong walked straight to the stable.

Sure enough, Lu Bu was bathing his red rabbit horse with Zhang Liao.

"Yo? Brother Gongtai is here? Looking for me? Putting down the horse brush, Lu Bu crossed his waist with one hand and wiped his sweat with the other.

"Oh, I just went to see Huaxing."

As soon as he heard that it was related to Huaxing, Zhang Liao also threw down the brush in his hand and came over with great interest: "How is it?" He...... Admit it? ”

"Well, admit it all!"

After a light sigh, Chen Gong told Lu Bu and Zhang Liao all the conversations between the two of them without reservation.

As soon as the words fell, I saw Zhang Liao laughing triumphantly:

"Hahaha! What do you think? What am I talking about? He really hid his identity for self-preservation, right? Haha, everyone says that under the general's flag, only Brother Gongtai is like a god...... Unexpectedly, this time it was guessed by me Zhang Wenyuan! Fun, fun! I have to drink two glasses to celebrate in the evening, and Brother Gongtai must appreciate his face! ”

Although Chen Gong didn't want to admit it, judging from the current intelligence, Zhang Liao did guess correctly, and Huaxing probably had no malicious intentions.

But even so, Chen Gong still did not cancel Zhang Liao's "bodyguard" mission:

"Hehe, Brother Wenyuan has a treat, how can I not be there? However, during this time, please continue to stay with the adults. ”

As soon as he heard that he was going to stay, without waiting for Zhang Liao to speak, Lu Bu was suddenly unhappy! slapped the beams and pillars of the stable, and said with a puzzled face:

"Brother Gongtai, aren't they all out of danger? Why do you want him to follow me? ”

Lu Bu was naturally strong, and when he slapped the beams and pillars of the stable, a lot of thatch fell from the roof in an instant, as if it was about to collapse.

Seeing this, Chen Gong hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded:

"The general is angry! I did this just in case. Huaxing is now looking at no problem, but the road knows the horsepower, and it will be popular for a long time! How to say...... You'll have to watch for a month, right? ”

"Huh? How many more months? Lu Bu's face was displeased.

"Well, then, just observe for a month! As long as he doesn't show malicious intent within a month, I will let Wen Yuan leave the Lu Mansion. General, this is all right, right? ”

Facing Chen Gong of his mother-in-law, Lu Bu has never been in a rut. Under the persuasion of the other party repeatedly, he finally nodded in compromise.

……

Five days later, four o'clock in the afternoon.

Hua Xing was about to go to the barracks to eat, when a guard suddenly came and said that General Lu had invited him to the Shengyue Tower in the south of the city for dinner, and asked for military uniforms to attend.

Huaxing guessed that there might be some large-scale banquet, so he hurriedly changed into a military uniform and walked straight to the Shengyue Tower.

Shengyue Tower, located in the south of Hongnong City, is the largest restaurant in the city. The first floor is used to receive individual guests, and the second floor is dedicated to private seats.

Today, their dining place is on the second floor of the Shengyue Building.

Due to Huaxing's humble status, his seat was arranged in the last row near the staircase.

Huaxing came early, said hello to a few acquaintances, and sat down and waited for the banquet to start.

Since the last showdown with Chen Gong, neither Chen Gong nor Lu Bu have looked for Huaxing these days, as if this incident had never happened.

As for Huaxing's true identity, there has been no rumor during this time.

So far, it seems that Lu Bu, Chen Gong and Zhang Liao also know.

Huaxing is quite satisfied with this result.

Because this shows that the other party at least believed his words, so he did not act.

Otherwise, he would have been expelled from the barracks or captured, and he would never have been allowed to remain in the camp in peace.

On the other hand, because Huaxing's identity has not been disclosed, Hou Cheng, Wei Xu and others still have a bad attitude towards him, and they have to sneer at each other every day.

Hua Xing was able to endure the bullying in the barracks before, so this ridicule failed to arouse Hua Xing's resistance, and everyone spent a week peacefully.

As for Huaxing's leisure time, most of it is spent on intelligence reconnaissance.

Now, he can be said to know the situation in the western part of the city and the surrounding areas of Lu Mansion well.

But it's a pity that after so much time, he still has no clue what the situation is in the Lu Mansion.

Except for seeing Lu Bu at the daily morning meeting, Huaxing had no chance to get close to this person at other times.

Therefore, there has been no progress in the assassination so far.

Half an hour later, the banquet hall on the second floor was full.

As far as the eye can see, there are forty or fifty people today.

Most of them he had seen at the morning meeting, like Chen Gong, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Hou Cheng and others, all of whom were "dressed up" to attend, this should be the highest level of gathering since Huaxing joined the Lu army.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, there was finally a sound of footsteps at the top of the staircase.

The footsteps sounded much heavier than the ones that had come before.

Those who can step on such a sound weigh three hundred pounds.

Among the Lu army, only General Lu, who is two meters tall, has such a weight.

As soon as this sound came out, the banquet hall instantly fell silent, and everyone's eyes converged on the staircase.

Sure enough, a few seconds later, Lu Bu, dressed in military uniform, appeared on the second floor of the banquet hall.

But he was not alone, and there were three people behind him.

The first is a white-haired old man.

This person Hua Xing had never seen before, about fifty years old, wearing a dark purple court robe and a spider-patterned silver belt tied around his waist. He walked a little weakly, but his eyes were like torches, and at first glance he was a wise high-ranking official.

Behind the old man, there was an old man and a young man.

These two people are a little strangely dressed!
