Chapter 60: Birthday (4)

The night was pitch black. The cool breeze presents a tranquil color.

At this moment, the prime minister's mansion is brightly lit. The crowd was full of voices, and everyone gathered in the lobby. Waiting for tonight's protagonist.

As everyone pushed the cups and changed the lamps, a loud voice came.

"Prime Minister to !!"

He wears a robe and his hair is tied back haphazardly. Cao Cao, who was smiling, came slowly, smiling and nodding at everyone.

"Meet the Prime Minister!!"

"Everyone's free courtesy, you have to come to Cao's banquet, it's hard work!!"

Cao Cao sat on the chairman's seat casually, looked at everyone and said.

After a ceremonial greeting, the banquet began.

Many maids scooped up wine for the adults at the table, and graceful dancing girls entered the hall. Dance to the music of the musicians on the side.

The dancing girls in the hall are as beautiful as flowers, and the wine in the wine bottle is refreshing. The sound of laughter is endless...

After a dance, a young man who looked like a general sitting at the end stood up a little impatiently. Bowing respectfully to Cao Cao, he said loudly:

"Prime Minister, this is a beautiful day. Wine and food are in front of you, and there will be a few heartfelt words I want to say in public!! ”

Cao Cao looked at this person with interest.

"What is this general called?!"

"The last general, Zhao Qing!"

"Ah, Zhao Qing! General Zhao wants to say something, but it doesn't hurt to say it!! ”

Zhao Qing looked around and coughed lightly.

"Since Dong Zhuo's chaos, the world has been in turmoil. The princes rose together, and the court discipline was completely absent, and it was the prime minister who resolutely stepped forward. Only then is there today's tranquility, and the reason why all of us present can still drink and have fun here, and enjoy singing and dancing. It all depends on the prime minister to put the universe in the palm of his hand and subordinate to the people under his rule. Therefore, the general thinks that the prime minister has made outstanding achievements and no one can match it. He should be crowned king!!! ”

Zhao Qing's words were like a drop of water falling into a hot oil pot. There was an uproar all around, and everyone was stunned by Zhao Qing's words.

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, this person was so bold. He said such a thing in front of so many senior officials of the DPRK and China.

However, this person is obviously a rough man with no ink on his chest and brute strength. seems to be impassioned, and he is extremely capable of singing praises to himself. But he didn't know what the consequences of doing this would be, Cao Cao shook his head secretly, and was about to open his mouth to scold. Just then, a very angry voice came from outside the lobby.

"What a meritorious cover for the three emperors, Zhao Qing, that's a good !!"

Everyone's eyes converged on the outside of the hall, Wang Ling's face sank like water, and he walked in from outside the hall with his hands behind his back.

Zhao Qing's body trembled, and he looked at Wang Ling, whose eyes were extremely cold, walking towards him. He couldn't help but take a step back, bow his hands, and speak with a little trembling

"Uncle... Uncle!! ”

"My good nephew, well said, well said!!"

Wang Ling patted him on the shoulder, turned to Cao Cao and bowed slightly, and said lightly:

"Prime Minister, this person is my nephew, but he is a waste who tends to be inflammatory, and only knows how to flatter Shangguan, such a thing. I don't think the prime minister will like it!! ”

Cao Cao laughed and waved his hand.

"Wang Sikong is serious, this person is just drunk nonsense. But since he is Sikong's family, and he is so drunk, let's bother Sikong to deal with it! ”

Wang Ling sneered.

"Then obey!!"

Wang Ling turned around violently and shouted outside the hall.

"Someone!! Pull out this dog thing that has no king's law and doesn't know the height of the sky, and cut it down!! ”

The two black-armored sergeants quickly came in and dragged Zhao Qing out.

Zhao Qing's soul was scattered, struggling desperately.

"Uncle, no, Lord Wang, I'm not guilty!!"

Frantically breaking free, Zhao Qing lay on the ground. shouted at Cao Cao on the chairman's seat

"Prime Minister!! Prime minister!! I'm not guilty! Prime Minister save me!! ”

The people around lowered their heads one after another, and only a few people couldn't help frowning and looking at Wang Ling.

Such as Xu Huang, Yu Ban and other generals, their faces are not good...

"Lord Wang!! It doesn't have to be this way! Today is the birthday of the Prime Minister, so please ask Lord Wang to open up and forgive General Zhao's drunken gaffes!! ”

Xun Yu was on the side, clasping his fists at Wang Ling and said sincerely.

"The prime minister just said, this is a family matter under the government, and it will be handled by the next!"

Wang Ling ignored Xun Yu at all, turned his head and shouted at the two black-armored sergeants:

"Why don't you pull this thing out yet!!"

In the silence all around, in a frenzied wail. Zhao Qing was dragged out of the hall and executed!!

Cao Cao never spoke, just looked at Wang Ling silently.

After a moment, Cao Cao laughed.

"Forget it, don't let these little things ruin the mood for tonight. Now that Lord Wang is here, please take a seat!! ”

Wang Ling didn't care, and sat down with a swagger. Eating and drinking, Cao Cao was very calm, still laughing and drinking, as if what had just happened had not happened.

Not long after Wang Ling came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xu Chu came in a hurry. In the darkness not far away, Xu Tian whispered a few words in his ear, and Xu Tian's eyes flashed in the direction of Wang Ling.

Wang Ling inadvertently saw Xu Tian's shadow in the dark, and the two glanced at each other across the lobby. A sneer appeared at the corner of Wang Ling's mouth.

At this moment, the second dance ended. Wang Ling immediately stood up and said with a smile:

"You may not know that there is a strange person in the Prime Minister's Mansion who can do things that others can't do. Very talented, I've had the pleasure of meeting him a few times, and I've learned a lot, huh?! Why don't you see him today?! Prime minister?! ”

Today, Wang Ling's performance surprised everyone, first of all, he did not care about Cao Cao and executed Zhao Qing resolutely. And now talking to Cao Cao is yin and yang, and he is not polite at all.

The strange thing is that Cao Cao didn't show any irritation, and he was always very calm.

"Wang Sikong is right, I also want to introduce him to you!"

As he spoke, Cao Cao turned his head.

"Call Xu Tian to come!"

A moment later, Xu Tian appeared outside the lobby. Under the gaze of everyone, he slowly walked into the hall and bowed to Cao Cao.

"See the Prime Minister!!"

His gaze casually skimmed over Wang Ling, and Xu Tian stood in place.

"This is the new Shadow Guard Mansion Commander, Xu Tian!!"

The people around them began to talk about it, and many visitors cast good-natured glances. smiled at Xu Tian and clenched his fists.

Xu Tian turned around and clasped his fists at everyone, bending slightly to show politeness.

Seeing this scene, Wang Ling sneered again. Pick up the wine bottle on the table, raise your head and drink it all. Squinted at Xu Tian.

"Commander Xu, today is the birthday of the Prime Minister, and you have all sent your own congratulatory gifts. The Grand Commander Wen Taowu is far from being comparable to an extraordinary person, so the Grand Commander's congratulatory gift must be different, can you open our eyes?! ”

Xu Chu, who followed Xu Tian to the hall, couldn't bear it anymore and yelled.

"Old horseman, Hugh has to make inches. The prime minister's congratulatory gift, how can you just watch it?! ”

Xu Chu glared angrily, but Wang Ling smiled. Unhurriedly said:

"Why should General Xu be angry?! All of us are just curious, if Commander Xu is not happy, then he should not say anything. ”

Wang Ling looked at Xu Tian, then at Cao Cao, and unhurriedly picked up the wine again.

"Xu Tian, didn't you say that you prepared a big gift for me?! Since you are all interested, let's see it together!! ”

Cao Cao said lightly, the more Cao Cao was like this, the more Wang Ling's heart became nervous, tonight he tried his best to provoke Cao Cao, but he was like water. Motionless as a mountain, this was completely unexpected by Wang Ling.

But even so, Wang Ling was only slightly uneasy in his heart. In his opinion, these people in front of him are now turtles in the urn, clowns jumping off the beam.

Xu Tian said yes, turned around and whispered a few words in the ear of a man in black, and the man left quickly. Looking at everyone, Xu Tian said slowly:

"Everyone's graciousness, Xu Tian obeys his fate, please come with me!!"

At this moment, a person outside the hall hurried in and said respectfully to Cao Cao

"Prime Minister, Marquis Ye Yuan Tan has settled down, and now he is here to congratulate him on his birthday!!"

"Let him go directly to the Shadow Guard Mansion Square!"

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he took the lead in leaving.

Hearing the words of the visitor, Wang Ling's smile became even colder...
