Chapter 411: Swagger

Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

The city gate official is not a big official, and he can't afford to offend the messenger from Handan, he shrunk his neck, subconsciously gave way to the side, and arched his hand and said: "The villain doesn't dare, the big ...... Adult in the castle please! ”

Liu Xiu didn't look at the city gate official again, and swaggered towards the city, followed by Deng Yu, Cho Period, Zhu You and others.

The city gate official was about to report to the county order, but Liu Xiu suddenly stopped and said, "We are going to the post station to rest, you lead the way in front!" ”

"Yes! My lord! The city gate official didn't dare to refuse, nodded and responded, led the way in front, and brought Liu Xiu into the city alone.

When they arrived at the post station, Liu Xiu and others met the post officer. Knowing that they were envoys from Handan to appease Zhuojun, the post officials did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly asked people to prepare wine and food.

Before the wine and food came up, Liu Xiu and his subordinates were still kneeling at the table, calmly, and drinking tea slowly.

Although they were not well dressed, they were gray-headed, yellow-skinned, and embarrassed, but everyone was full of style, like envoys sent by the imperial court.

But when the food and wine came up, these people were almost completely gone, and some people even felt slow to use chopsticks, so they grabbed it directly and stuffed a lot of food into their mouths.

Suspicious of their identities, the post official who was secretly observing saw this, and grinned secretly, how are these people like messengers, like starving ghosts, it seems that they haven't eaten for several days, are they really messengers sent by the Son of Heaven?

The postman asked several of his subordinates, "Look, do they look like messengers from Handan?" ”

Several of his subordinates shook their heads and whispered, "According to the villain, they don't look like messengers, but more like outcasts and fugitives!" ”

"Just arrest them all!" A postman said in a deep voice.

Another post guard hurriedly shook his head and said, "I can't help it! What if they were really messengers sent by the Son of Heaven? ”

Who was Wang Lang before? is a warlock, Wang Lang's confidant, and he may not have been a dignitary before, and it is likely that he is a commoner like Wang Lang.

Now when I see delicious food, I eat it with all my heart, and there are no rules, but it is not impossible to do so.

Moreover, Handan is not close to Zhuo County, this thousands of miles to come over, it is normal for accidents to occur on the way, in case these people encounter the thief army on the way, they are sacked by the thief army, and they have not eaten for several days?

In short, judging them as fakes just by the way they eat is too arbitrary.

The post officer also felt reasonable, he pondered for a moment, and said to the experienced old post man: "You hurry up and ask Cao County Order, let Cao County Order decide this matter!" ”

He's using a push-word trick. He is just a small post officer, and he doesn't have so much ability to identify the authenticity of the Handan envoy, in case something goes wrong, his official functions can't be kept is small, and whether his head can be kept is big.

The postman listened to him, hurriedly agreed, and ran away at a hurry.

Coincidentally, not long after Liu Xiu and others entered Raoyang, Wang Lang's confidant general, Peng Ning, also arrived in Raoyang.

Peng Ning and Wang Lang are old acquaintances, when Wang Lang was a warlock, he had a meal but not a meal, and he was relieved by Peng Ning.

Now that Wang Lang is the emperor, the salted fish has turned over, and he is naturally very grateful for Peng Ning's kindness to him, and naturally he will not treat Peng Ning badly.

This time, Peng Ning was just passing through Zhuo County, and his destination was Guangyang, where he met Liu Jie, the son of the king of Guangyang, and asked Liu Jie to lead his troops to Handan.

At present, the three kings of Hebei have all publicly expressed their support for Wang Lang, but except for Liu Lin, Liu Yang and Liu Jian did not go to Handan.

In other words, at present, Liu Yang and Liu Jie only verbally support Wang Lang, and have not given Wang Lang substantial help.

Peng Ning was ordered by Wang Lang to go to Zhending first, meet Liu Yang, and ask Liu Yang to lead the army to Handan.

Liu Yang was full of promises, but then found all kinds of understandings and excuses, saying that there was an urgent matter to deal with at the moment, and he couldn't leave Zhending for the time being, and he couldn't go to Handan.

His prevaricating attitude made Peng Ning extremely dissatisfied, but he was helpless to take Liu Yang, the old fox, and after leaving Zhending, he rushed to Guangyang County non-stop to discuss this matter with Liu Jie.

The post guard didn't see the county commander at all, and now the county commander is receiving Peng Ning, where do you have the heart to see a little post guard? The post guard didn't see the county order, but heard that the county order was entertaining Wang Lang's confidant Peng Ning.

He rolled his eyes, immediately had an idea, and immediately ran back to the post station and reported the matter to the post officer. Finally, the postman approached the postman and whispered a few words in his ear, and then he said with a smile: "Try it so and know the truth immediately!" ”

After listening to his words, the officer's eyes lit up, nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "This plan is very good!" ”

When Liu Xiu and the others were still feasting, suddenly, they heard someone outside shouting loudly: "General Peng Ning Peng of Handan has arrivedβ€”β€”"

This sudden voice can scare everyone in the room. They are not really Handan envoys, but impostors, and now that the generals under Wang Lang have arrived, as soon as the two sides meet, they will immediately be exposed.

People's first instinct was, run! Everyone in the room put down the dishes and chopsticks as soon as possible, and one by one, like springs, jumped up from the cushions and made a gesture to run out.

However, Liu Xiu sat in place from beginning to end, not moving, and he asked, "What are you doing?" ”

People looked at Liu Xiu with wide eyes, the generals of Handan came to the post station, if they don't run now, when will they wait?

It's just that these words can't be said in the post station, and people are all anxious, and they look at Liu Xiu again and again, signaling him to get up quickly and leave this place.

Liu Xiu put down the dishes and chopsticks unhurriedly, straightened his waist, and said in an indifferent tone: "Even in Handan, when General Peng saw me, General Peng had to take the initiative to greet me, so how could I go to see him now?" ”

Yes? When everyone heard this, they were all stunned. The lord can't be too involved in acting, right? They're not the real thing, they're fakes!

Liu Xiu's face was calm, he waved his hand to everyone, and said: "Sit down, you should eat, you should drink, and when General Peng arrives at the post station, we will get drunk again." ”

"Lord-" Zhu You's cold sweat broke out.

Deng Yu pulled his sleeve without leaving a trace, and said in a low voice: "The lord has spoken, sit down!" Sit down, everybody! ”

As he spoke, he took the lead and walked back to his seat and sat down again, and the rest of the people looked at each other and sat back one after another.

Then they secretly looked at Liu Xiu. The latter picked up the dishes and chopsticks as if nothing happened, still unhurriedly holding the dishes and eating.

The reason why Liu Xiu was so determined was because he didn't believe that Peng Ning had arrived in Raoyang at all. It's so coincidental that as soon as his front foot arrived in Raoyang, Peng Ning's back foot followed? He knew in his heart that with his current embarrassed appearance, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like a real envoy, and the people at the post station must be suspicious, but they were not sure whether they were the envoy of Handan, so they came up with such a note

Intentionally, deliberately to test oneself.

If you are really scared away by them, then you don't need to ask, you must be an impostor, even if you can run out of the post station now, you will definitely not be able to run out of Raoyang.

And at this time, if you are calm, then the tricks used by the other party will not be defeated.

Liu Xiu is a human, not a god, and his calculation is actually half right.

Peng Ning did not come to the post station, and the people in the post station were indeed using fraud and deceiving their identities.

It's just that what Liu Xiu didn't expect was that there was really such a coincidence in the world, they had just arrived in Raoyang on the front foot, and Peng Ning really arrived in Raoyang later.

After shouting out that Peng Ning arrived at the post station, he saw that Liu Xiu and the others were still in the house, and none of them ran out, which made everyone guarding outside start to be uncertain.

Are these people the true messengers?

If they are true, they look no different from the refugees fleeing the famine, and they don't look at their food, as if they haven't eaten for many days, no matter how you look at it, they don't look like Handan envoys.

But if they are fake, then why are they not afraid at all when they hear the news of Peng Ning's arrival, and there is not a single person who runs away?

In the end, the post official couldn't help it, walked into the house, arched his hand to Liu Xiuhan, who was sitting in the center, with a smile, and said, "This ...... My lord, General Peng Ning Peng has arrived in Raoyang, and is now coming to the post station, I don't know ...... Your Excellency and General Peng."

"It's all old acquaintances." Liu Xiu wiped the corners of his mouth slowly, and said with a smile: "After General Peng arrives at the post station, I will naturally get drunk before resting, and your post station will also prepare a few more jars of good wine to prepare." ”

"Hey, hey! The villain knows! The post officer smiled dryly and nodded again and again, he peeked at Liu Xiu, there was no abnormal demeanor at all, his expression was calm like water, as if he and Peng Ning were old friends.

He swallowed his spit and said, "Villain...... The villain retired first and let people prepare wine. ”

"Well, let's go down!" Liu Xiu waved his hand casually.

The postman bowed and exited the room. When he got outside, he sighed and said to the guards who surrounded him: "It seems that we are too worried, these adults are indeed Handan envoys. ”

is so calm and calm, calm and natural, if they are still fake, it can only be said that their psychological quality is too good, and he, the little post officer, is far from being an opponent of others, and he is willing to bow down.

The post station party clearly said that Peng Ning arrived at the post station, but a quarter of an hour passed, Peng Ning did not appear, two quarters of an hour passed, Peng Ning still did not appear, and half an hour passed, Peng Ning still did not appear.

Now, Deng Yu, Cho Period, Zhu You and others have understood what is going on.

Just now, it was indeed the post party that was deliberately deceiving, and he was bent on testing his identity.

People subconsciously looked at Liu Xiu, and secretly raised a thumbs up in their hearts, the lord is really amazing!

If they hadn't been able to calm down just now and run out in a swarm, their identities would have been exposed immediately, and in the end, I'm afraid no one would have been able to escape from Raoyang.

Liu Xiu put down his chopsticks, touched his already bulging belly, then glanced at everyone present and asked, "Have you eaten enough?" ”

Everyone grinned in unison and smiled at Liu Xiu: "Lord, my subordinates have eaten enough." ”

Zhu You burped and said, "I'm worried that if I open my mouth, wine and meat will come out of my throat." ”

"Then you'd better shut up!" Liu Xiu was almost disgusted by him, he raised his head and called: "Post officer? Where is the postman? ”

After a short time, the post official who was guarding outside walked in quickly, bowed to Liu Xiu, and said, "My lord, the villain is here!" "Where's General Peng?" Liu Xiu's face showed displeasure, and he asked in a deep voice: "Didn't you just say that General Peng has arrived in Raoyang and is on his way to the post station?" It's been so long, even if General Peng climbs, he should climb to the post station, right? Could it be that General Peng had an accident in the city? ”
