Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Banquet at the Guest House of the Marquis of Zhu Ti There is no good wine, and there is something to say about wine
But seeing this, Zhu Tihou was talking and saluted Du Yu at the same time. Seeing this, Du Yu didn't dare to lose his courtesy, so he immediately bowed down and bowed.
"Uncle Chen, you and Yu'er haven't seen each other for many years, but I never thought that we would see each other again today but ...... here."
It turned out that this person in a deep robe was none other than the Marquis of Shu who ruled over this Zhu Ti Pass, Zhu Ti Hou - Qian Yuan. Moreover, if you count it, this Zhu Tihou is still the elder of Du Yu's uncle's generation!
Subsequently, after the two of them were in front of the house for a while, Zhu Tihou led the way and led them all the way into the guest house here.
Along the way, Mo Zhai was very uneasy in his heart. Miss Du Yu is now just reporting her home, and she has no evidence or seal! But their entourage was put into the Zhuti Pass so easily! Mo Zhai only felt that all this was too smooth, it was unbelievable.
accompanied Du Yu into the official residence, and Mo Zhai looked towards Wu Weiyi. I saw that Wu Weiyi at this time was also holding the hilt of the fish intestine sword tightly with his backhand, and his expression was extremely nervous.
Obviously, the two of them tacitly understood it at this time, and they both felt that this matter was indeed a little strange. But seeing that Wu Weiyi also glanced at Mo Zhai, suggesting that he must be vigilant in case of accidents.
I saw that Zhu Tihou led them into the main hall, and at this time, a banquet had already been prepared on the main hall, just waiting for the arrival of the princess and her party.
"Come, princess, this way, please!"
"Uncle is polite, Yu'er is a junior, or uncle first."
I only heard that Chen Yuan and Du Yu were polite and prevaricated, and then Chen Yuan came to the main seat, and Du Yu came to the side seat, that is, they all entered the seat.
As soon as Chen Yuan took his seat, he looked behind Du Yu and saw Wu Weiyi, who was standing with a sword behind Du Yu, who could be regarded as a talent with a dignified appearance. It was to ask Du Yu:
"Huh? …… Yu'er? The two standing behind you? ……”
Du Yu listened to Qian Yuan's question, and then pointed out and recommended him:
"This is Wu Weiyi, and this is Mo Zhai. Yu'er was able to get here safely this time, all because of the two of them to protect Yu'er. ”
As soon as Chen Yuan heard that this person was "Wu Weiyi", his eyes suddenly lit up, and he stroked his beard and looked at him:
"Oh?! …… Could it be that this is the 'Mr. Wu' who has become famous in Shu in recent days? Oh...... Good...... Good...... Hehe, it's really a young hero! Yes, yes, yes! ”
After saying that, Chen Yuan waved his hand to the maid kneeling on the side:
"Come on! Look at the wine! ”
I saw that the maid on the side immediately poured the wine and respectfully brought it to Wu Weiyi's side.
"Come on! Thank you Mr. Wu for being able to protect my family all the way, Mr. has worked hard all the way, and the widow will give Mr. Wu a cup first! ……”
I saw Chen Yuan pick up the wine bottle, get up alone and walk in front of Wu Weiyi, and he wanted to toast.
"Mr. Wu! …… The widow does it first for respect! ”
After Zhu Tihou finished speaking, he drank all the wine in the bottle, and held the bottle in both hands, showing the empty bottle as a respect.
When Wu Weiyi saw this wine, he seemed a little hesitant. Obviously, he was also quite suspicious of this Zhu Tihou, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
I saw that Wu Weiyi was squinting at the wine bottle that was handed to him, and he also knew that now in this situation, if he did not obey, it would be contrary to common etiquette. Moreover, thinking about it, Zhu Tihou now does not need to assassinate an insignificant person like him. When Wu Weiyi thought of this, he picked up the wine bottle with both hands and drank it all.
After Zhu Tihou finished respecting, he returned to the main seat and glanced at Du Yu again. Then, I heard him make a pretended lament:
"Hey! …… I think how strong my Shu Kingdom was back then, but now it is attacked by the Naba people, and I have lost half of my arms in vain...... Your brother Du Yu is too rigid and self-serving, and he can't trust us old departments in Shuzhong. Ay...... It's no wonder that this is the case...... Now the various departments in Shuzhong can be said to be leaderless, Yu'er, you are the descendant of the first king, I don't know what to do? ”
As soon as Du Yu heard it, he knew that this was a little unkind. Now that her royal brother Du Jiang has been defeated by the Ba people, Shu has become a borderless land. Therefore, the rest of the ambitious princes of Shu are all gearing up and coveting the position of the king of Shu from the side!
In terms of strength, the fiefdom in charge of Zhu Tihou is also an important place in southern Shunan! Its strength, but the princes of Shuzhong are no one who can compare with this Zhu Tihou. Therefore, if this Zhu Tihou Qianyuan, if he intends to weigh the system in southern Shu, I am afraid that no one can stop him.
But although Zhu Tihou has the heart of this thief, he also does not have the courage of this thief. The so-called name is not good, and if it is not good, it will not be successful. Now that the royal family of Shu is in turmoil, if he is not subordinate at this time and acts rashly, he is also afraid of becoming the target of the public in Shu.
And this Du Yu is a descendant of the first king, and his mother is the daughter of the Qian family. Therefore, now that Du Yu is here, it can be used to achieve his plan.
But seeing this time, Du Yu thought about it for a while, and replied to Chen Yuan:
"Uncle, when my father was still alive, I already expected that sooner or later there would be such a catastrophe in my Shu Kingdom! Therefore, he deliberately left a testament for Yu'er, saying that if Shu was in trouble at that time, he could go to Yelang to ask for rescue. Therefore, Yu'er is not far away, and when she came to pass the pass, she wanted to go to Yelang to find the lord of Yelang, Rida Muji, to borrow troops to restore the country......"
When Chen Yuan heard that Du Yu was here, he actually wanted to borrow the road to spend Yelang in the south. It's a little unpleasant, but it's also inconvenient. Just smiled, put down the wine bottle in his hand again, and continued:
"Hehe, why does Yu'er have to go far? Although your uncle is located in the southwest, he also has tens of thousands of households! As long as Yu'er raises his arms and shouts, he and his uncle will join the princes of Shuzhong to recover Shu, and they will definitely be able to recover Shu...... But why do you have to travel thousands of miles to find Yelang to ask for help? ”
As soon as Du Yu and Wu Weiyi heard Zhu Tihou's words, they already knew his wishful thinking!
This Zhu Tihou pretended to use Du Yu as an excuse to unite the princes of Shu to defend against a strong enemy. In fact, it is to use the name of Du Yu to imitate the law of Qi Huan and Jinwen, and the guild alliance is hegemonic...... In this way, as soon as Du Jiang dies, he can set up a new monarch and take charge of the government of Shu! Or even replace the position of the king of Shu! …… As for the recovery of the rivers and mountains of Shu, I am afraid that the drunkard will not be drinking!
Du Yu and Wu Weiyi naturally heard the mystery in Zhu Tihou's words. But now that he is also under the fence of others, how can he make a mistake? …… I only heard Du Yu pretend not to know his true meaning, but bowed his head and continued with Chen Yuan:
"Uncle Lao Chen is worried, but this matter is the last order of his father, and Yu'er does not dare to disobey. Therefore, no matter what, Yu'er has to go to meet the lord of Yoro. If you really can't borrow soldiers by then, it's not too late to discuss when Yu'er returns. ”
When Zhu Tihou heard this, he also knew the deep meaning of Du Yu's words. I saw him laugh three times again:
"Huh...... All right! Or not...... Then wait for Yu'er to figure it out, and then it's not too late to make plans. ”
In this way, Zhu Tihou and Du Yu chatted about some past gossip between the banquets in the official residence. At this time, I saw another person waiting in front of the guest house. When everyone in the house saw this, they looked at the man, and it turned out that this person was none other than the military secretary who was shouting for someone to stop on the city tower at that time. I saw him standing outside the house and asking Zhu Tihou:
"The child is not afraid to see the father-in-law......"
"Oh! It's my son who is not afraid, come in and talk! ......”
This person can enter the house when he hears the call, and he sees that this person is burly and magnificent, but he has some ancient good generals.
"Hehe, the widow comes to introduce him, this is the widow's righteous son, the name is not afraid, and he has the courage of ten thousand people. When the barbarians came to attack, he was not afraid that he saved the lives of the widows in the chaos. The widow took pity on his talent, so he adopted him as his adopted son...... Don't be afraid, but what is the urgency to say when you come here to see your father? ”
Hearing his father-in-law ask like this, he was not afraid to clasp his fists and salute back:
"Father-in-law, a few days ago, when I was in the market, I found a team of Kunlun slaves who could dance happily, and their dance steps were quite peculiar. The child knew that his father-in-law loved dance and music, so he didn't dare to enjoy it alone, so he came to dedicate these Kunlun slaves to his father-in-law. And it just so happens that today's father-in-law has a distinguished guest coming, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, the child is brave, and wants to invite the father-in-law and all the guests to watch together, wouldn't it be great?! ”
