After the county commander and the county Cheng learned that Yan Yingyuan and the others were willing to come to the banquet, they were immediately overjoyed, once Yan Yingyuan and the three of them stepped into the door of the county government, then their plan would be half successful.

"Is the poison ready?" The county magistrate asked Miao Kai.

"It's ready, mixed in wine, colorless and tasteless, and the lower stomach is sealed in the throat!" Miao Kaiyin smiled, if he hadn't worked in Tai'an for ten years and had a lot of connections, how could he get such a poisonous poison so quickly.

"That's good!" The county commander thought about it, and said with some unease: "In order to avoid any accidents, you immediately arrange some people to ambush in the back hall, and at the same time add poison to the dishes closest to Yan Yingyuan and the three of them, if you don't believe it, you can't kill them!" "Once the county order is decided, it is even more vicious than the county Cheng Miaokai, and the triple arrangement will not leave any vitality at all.

"What the adults say is very true, I'll arrange it!" Miao Kai nodded approvingly, and immediately arranged again.

Half an hour later, estimating that the time was almost up, the county commander sent the county Cheng Miao to the gate of the county government to greet him, showing his attention to Yan Yingyuan and the three of them.

Yan Yingyuan and the three of them were very punctual, and according to the time on the invitation, they rode to the county government. Miao Kai saw Yan Yingyuan and the three of them from a distance, and the different colors in his eyes flashed slightly, as if he had forgotten the unhappiness of the morning, and greeted each other with a smile.

Yan Yingyuan and the three of them turned over and dismounted, and immediately a servant stepped forward to lead the horse.

"The three of you are please, the county magistrate has been waiting for a long time." Miao Kai led the way in front and introduced Yan Yingyuan and the three into the county office. The three of them followed behind Miao Kai, and they were very disdainful in their hearts, Miao Kai was too good at pretending

After a short time, Yan Yingyuan and the three of them followed Miao Kai to the county ya, and the county order had already set up a banquet to wait here, and when they saw Yan Yingyuan and the three of them coming, they also stood up and stepped forward to greet them.

"Brother Yan, you're finally here! The prefecture has been waiting for a long time! The county magistrate smiled and arched his hand at Yan Yingyuan, and when he saw Chen Mingyu and Feng Houdun behind Yan Yingyuan, he also arched his hand towards them.

The county commander wanted to immediately lead the three of them to the set position and take a seat, but suddenly saw the saber hanging from the waist of Yan Yingyuan and the three of them, and after being slightly stunned, his heart moved, and he smiled and wondered: "Hey, the three brothers are really, how can you have a meal and still have a saber hanging on your waist, it's not too heavy, come on, help the three brothers of Lord Ben hold the saber." ”

"Yes, sir." A maid immediately stepped forward.

After Yan Yingyuan and the two brothers glanced at each other, Yan Yingyuan heartily untied the saber, handed it to the maidservant, and said with a smile: "Thank you for the care of the county commander, I will trouble this girl." ”

"Give!" Chen Mingyu and Feng Houdun also smiled and untied the saber from their waists and handed it to the maid. Anyway, they know very well how many servants there can be in the county government, even if they are equipped with weapons in hand, once the county order and the two really dare to make any moves, they are not afraid!

After the servant girl took the saber of the three people, she only took a dozen steps back, and leaned the saber of the three against the corner of the wall.

"Three brothers, please!" The county commander smiled and led two or three people to the set position.

The five of them sat at a round table, Yan Yingyuan and the three of them remained silent, and after they sat down, a maidservant girl came up to pour wine and filled it for the three of them.

Seeing this scene, the county commander and Miao Kai secretly glanced at each other, with murderous intent in their eyes, but they still maintained a gentle smile on their faces.

"Since the three brothers took over the defense of Tai'an, the county has put an end to banditry, and it is a meritorious person, and now it is the time of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to troubled Shandong, and the safety of Tai'an is expected to take care of the three more, I salute the three of them on behalf of the people of Tai'an!" The county magistrate said, straight to the point, picked up the wine glass, stood up, and toasted to Yan Yingyuan and the others.

Yan Yingyuan glanced at the wine glass in front of him, and then at the county order and Miao Kai, but he didn't pick up the wine glass, shook his head with a smile, and said apologetically to the county order: "I hope the county commander understands, the three of us will go to patrol the defense of the county seat later, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to drink!" ”

When the county commander and Miao Kai heard this, their faces changed slightly, and they recovered in an instant.

"Whatever the brother says, just a glass of wine, it won't have any effect." The county commander said with a smile, looking very disappointed, meaning that Yan Yingyuan and the three of them are too faceless, this is not good! The prefectural order continued to persuade.

Yan Yingyuan was unmoved, still shook his head and said: "My three brothers are really not strong enough to drink, and I hope that the county commander will understand, if the adults still force each other, I am afraid that this meal will not be able to be eaten." ”

Seeing that Yan Yingyuan and the three of them were procrastinating and making excuses, and refused to drink the wine in the cup, the county commander and Miao Kai were extremely annoyed, and their faces turned a little red with anger, but they still didn't show their anger, still with a smile. If this were normal times, Yan Yingyuan would dare to give the county order such a face, and the county order would have slapped the table a long time ago and scolded Yan Yingyuan for not knowing what to do.

The county commander held back his anger and sat down again, and said without any blame: "Hehe, okay, since Brother Yan said so, I don't want to force Brother Yan, I won't drink the wine, come and eat." ”

The county order smiled, there was no meaning to blame, it was a little abnormal.

Yan Yingyuan and the three of them glanced at each other, and they all felt a little unusual, they were like this just now, but in order to test whether the county order and Miao Kai really had any plans, at this moment, it seems that it is quite abnormal, if it is normal, they are so faceless, the county order should be angry, it must be a fraud!

Yan Yingyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and the three brothers had a plan in their hearts, just don't drink the wine of the county order, and they don't even move their chopsticks at the moment, just sit there with the old god.

The county commander held his breath in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it, so angry that his hands trembled a little, and he still maintained a gentle tone and said: "Why don't the three brothers move their chopsticks, just don't drink the wine, and it's unreasonable to say that the vegetable leaves don't eat them." ”

The county order and Miao Kai explained to the three of them the dishes on the table, especially the dishes closest to Yan Yingyuan and the three of them, they were simply praised, and they were indeed very exquisite, if they were not guarded, Yan Yingyuan and the three of them would really not be able to help but taste it.

"I'll give the three brothers a glass first!" In order to reassure people, the county magistrate also drank the wine in his cup, and put a few chopsticks and dishes into the bowl, and continued to persuade Yan Yingyuan and the others, hoping that they could drink a glass of wine or eat a few clip dishes.

At this time, Feng Houdun looked at the empty wine glass of the county order, his heart suddenly moved, and he smiled and took the wine jug that the maid poured wine for the three of them just now, and came to the county order.

"There are a lot of county magistrates, since I followed my eldest brother to Tai'an County, I heard that adults love the people like children, and they are the real parents of the people, I have always admired the county magistrates, even if I am scolded by my eldest brother today, I have to personally toast the adults with a glass of wine."

Feng Houdun said, filled the wine glass for the county order, and took the glass of wine in front of the county Cheng Miao, and saluted the county order: "My lord, I toast you!" ”

"Your Excellency, drink too!" Feng Houdun drank all the wine in his cup, and then looked at the county order without blinking, waiting for him to drink all the wine in his cup.

The county commander's face couldn't help twitching, although he still had a smile on his face, but in fact, he was already so angry that his breathing was a little short, Feng Houdun poured him poisonous wine, and Feng Houdun himself drank the cup of the county Cheng that was not poisonous, how could he fool around, how dare he know that the wine was poisonous, and dare to drink it in his stomach.

The county order gritted his teeth, his face was cloudy, Yan Yingyuan and the three of them immediately guessed what happened, there was no doubt that the county order must have poisoned their wine.

County Cheng Miao Kai also gritted his teeth, slapped the table suddenly, and said angrily: "Yan Yingyuan, what do you three want to do, don't give the county order any face, the adults toast you but you don't drink, and you don't eat the vegetables when you are told to eat, is it possible that the vegetables and wine are poisonous!" ”

Miao Kai wanted to scare Yan Yingyuan and the others, if they could obediently make amends and drink the wine in their cups, if not, then they would only have to resort to the last killing move.

"Hey, hey!" Feng Houdun sneered, and returned to his seat, Chen Mingyu also sneered.

Yan Yingyuan's face was expressionless, but his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing murderous intent, and he suddenly stood up and said, "Lord County Commander and my three brothers are really not strong enough to drink, so I won't eat or drink, and I will leave!" ”

"The prefectural commander has taken his leave!" Feng Houdun and Chen Mingyu also stood up and bowed to the county order with a smile.

Seeing that the three of them were going to leave, the county order and Miao Kai almost exploded, it was too faceless!

The county order and Miao Kai had a black face, and stood up at the same time, and the county order slammed the wine glass in his hand. snapped, and suddenly dozens of officials with knives rushed out and surrounded Yan Yingyuan and the three of them.

"The county magistrate invited me and the three brothers to have a meal, but dozens of officials were ambushed here, what do you want?" Yan Yingyuan stared at the county order and said coldly. At this point, you don't have to think about it to understand what's going on.

"Humph! Lord Ben is not afraid to tell you that the county and I have decided to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and today we want the lives of the three of you. The county commander was so angry that he said with a grim smile.

Since Yan Yingyuan and the three of them refused to drink or eat, the county commander felt that the three of them must have doubts, so he could only resort to the last trick and solve it by force, even if Yan Yingyuan and the three of them were different from ordinary people and had some bravery, but they had no weapons in hand at the moment, and he had thirty henchmen here, ten to one, I didn't believe that they couldn't kill Yan Yingyuan and the three.

"Big brother, we really guessed right, this dog county order and county Cheng are indeed ready to be the lackeys of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and betray Tai'an!" Feng Houdun said with a sneer.

"Hmph, what's the matter, the world will be clear in the future, this county is a person who knows the times as a handsome, how can you and other vulgar people understand! Kill! Hack these three to death with a knife for Lord Ben! There is a lot of reward for this adult! The county order was too lazy to talk nonsense, and the murderous intention was revealed, and with a wave of his hand, dozens of officials with knives slashed at Yan Yingyuan and the others.

Yan Yingyuan Senran smiled: "As expected, since the adult made the first move, the three of my brothers are also polite to the adult, kill!" Yan Yingyuan roared, and the three brothers immediately fought with the thirty servants!

Although there were thirty servants, Yan Yingyuan and the three of them had no fear, but looked disdainful! The two sides fought together.

"Capture the thief and capture the king first!" Yan Yingyuan said a word, dodged the knife that the two officials looked at, attacked with both fists, and hit the chests of the two officials at the same time, knocking the two officials several meters away!

The corners of the county order and the county Cheng's eyes jumped, and they couldn't imagine that Yan Yingyuan was so powerful.

Feng Houdun and Chen Mingyu also knocked over several officials in an instant, and snatched the knives in their hands in one fell swoop, killed several officials again, and attacked towards the county order.

Although Yan Yingyuan and the three seem to be from a scholar's background, but because Jiangyin County is located on the seaside, there will be pirates from time to time, in order to be able to fight pirates, almost everyone in Jiangyin has learned martial arts, Yan Yingyuan and the three are no exception, and the three of them are much stronger than ordinary people because of the guidance of famous teachers, and their courage is extraordinary.

"Kill!" Yan Yingyuan also snatched a knife from the besieging officials, instantly slashed several officials to the ground, and killed the county commander and the county officer.

The county commander and Miao Kai were taken aback, extremely frightened, they never imagined that the force of Yan Yingyuan and the three of them was so strong, and it was difficult for the thirty officials to resist, seeing that Yan Yingyuan and the three of them were killing themselves, the county commander and Miao Kai were terrified.

"Let's go!" The county order and the county Cheng Miaokai are about to flee.

Yan Yingyuan and the three of them let them escape, the three of them slashed forward together, the thirty officials were not monolithic, after being killed a dozen people, blood flowed all over the ground, and the remaining dozen or so officials showed fear, trembling and did not dare to attack Yan Yingyuan and the three.

"Where to go!" Yan Yingyuan shouted, and after cutting down a servant who was blocking the road again, he rushed over and put the steel knife in his hand on the neck of the county commander, Feng Houdun and Chen Mingyu followed, and at the same time put the steel knife in his hand on Miao Kai's neck.

The blade was sharp and full of cold, and the county order and Miao Kai were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they were extremely frightened.

"Three, three, old, brother! This is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! The county commander was extremely frightened, and hurriedly explained with a sad face.

"Hmph, bullshit misunderstanding, let's say it quickly, you have made an appointment with the Manchu Qing when to take over Tai'an!" Yan Yingyuan persecuted. The steel knife in his hand cut through the fur on the neck of the county commander, and the blood overflowed instantly, so frightened that the county commander almost peed his pants.

"You, you!" The county magistrate didn't dare to hide it, and immediately said it.

Yan Yingyuan's eyes flashed, there were still two hours before now, and it could still be arranged.

"Third brother, you go and gather everyone immediately, quickly!" Yan Yingyuan commanded.

"Yes, big brother"

After Feng Houdun left, Yan Yingyuan and Chen Mingyu found a rope to tie up the county order and the county Cheng, and knocked the two unconscious with a hand knife, leaving Chen Mingyu alone to guard the county office, Yan Yingyuan immediately left the county office and ran to the camp.

He wants to give a plan to the Qing army who came to receive Tai'an, and the blood to kill him is like a river!

Four thousand words, I drank some wine and came back, but it was even late
