Chapter 277: The Dinner Problem

Night falls

Originally, this ancient city was also lit up at night, but now it is much darker, except for a few black shadows flowing everywhere on the streets, there is basically no pedestrian.

However, the summer army camp outside the city, the lights are very bright, and there are patrolling soldiers and sentry horses everywhere, it seems that in the big tent of the Chinese army, a banquet has been set up, which attracts the displaced people who have left the city to inevitably look sideways, touch their hungry temple, secretly curse a dog official, and then continue to lead his wife and children on his back, step by step to look east.

There is also a small episode in the middle, that is, when An Yi and Gao Ciyi agreed on where to hold the banquet, Gao Ciyi advocated that they should find a place in Lanzhou City, so that it is far away from the military camp, otherwise it will be easy to be discovered.

An Yi knew that Gao Ciyi meant to avoid Liao Ying, but he felt that not to mention that the restaurants in the city were empty at a glance, even if they really found a good place, it would be inappropriate.

Come to think of it, a Huai prince holds a banquet, and Liao Ying, as the chief general in the army, can not know it? As long as this Liu Can sends someone to inquire about this question, he will soon show his feet.

What's more, according to what Liu Xuan said, the eldest lady behind her is even more skilled, so it is easy to arouse suspicion by hiding it, so it is better to open it up,

So An Yi found Liao Ying in advance and told him all the things, but there are some things that An Yi still deduces.

Of course, this has to start a few days ago.

Three days ago, that is, after An Yi brought Liu Xuan out of the Xi'an Palace, he drafted a letter with Gao Ciyi and asked Hu Yuhua to send it to Taiyuan quickly.

That's right, the direction of Taiyuan is the direction of King De.

Of course, this letter was written to his imperial brother in the tone of Gao Ciyi, and what the letter said was also very simple, first debunked the conspiracy of Liu Biao and Xu Liang to fabricate the edict, and then told them that Chongzheng had prepared an edict in advance before his death, and the edict said that the successor was His Royal Highness King De, and at this time the edict was in his own hands, and he wanted to wait until he entered Tongguan, and handed it over to the imperial brother together with the jade seal.

Yes, it's the jade seal, if you want to ask where the jade seal in the hands of An Yi and Gao Ciyi came from, then we have to move forward.

Do you still remember the day when An Yi returned to Lanzhou, that is, when he and Lin Muzhi caught who would go to Lanzhou to feint against the other three gates?

Gao Ciyi took Hu Yuhua to find comfort at that time, but the two of them also started to do it because of the death of Emperor Chongzheng.

And the thing Hu Yuhua was carrying in his arms was the Great Xia Jade Seal!

Needless to say, King De was now forced by his fourth brother to be a mouthful, after receiving the letter from his fifth brother, without saying a word, he immediately rushed into the study, picked up the brush and wrote a reply to Gao Ciyi and An Yi,

Obviously, for the olive branch that Gao Ciyi took the initiative to throw, it was still such a thick one, so it was naturally accepted in full.

And when An Yi showed this handwritten letter from King De to Liao Ying, the bearded general already understood An Yi's position in his heart, and naturally regarded him as his own, and the so-called matter of helping to pit Liufu together was also allowed.

It's just that An Yi doesn't understand a little in his heart, why is this Liao Ying so loyal to King De,

Obviously, it was a critical juncture when the metropolitan governor Sun Dezhang patted his ass and left, leaving 100,000 horses in Lanzhou City, it can be said that if it is not comfortable, this Liao Ying's ashes may not be found now, why is he so grateful to King De?

But I don't understand, I don't understand, Liao Ying's loyalty can indeed show the sun and the moon, not to mention that the Shaanxi army is not as comfortable as the Sichuan army, what is said, with the support of this old commander, it is naturally like making four fingers to do things, which is much more convenient.

In this way, even if Liu Can and Mrs. Liu have doubts, there will be no clues in the entire military camp that she can detect.

The premise is that the work is done, and the rest of the matter is to open a big pocket and invite you into the urn......

Unitary time

Before leaving the camp, Liu Can had already heard An Yi talk about the arrest of the criminal concubine Liu Xuan, that is, his half-sister, Liu Can was very surprised, in this half an afternoon, Liu Xuan was actually arrested,

Liu Can guessed that it was estimated that the matter had been completed, which made His Royal Highness King Huai happy, so he specially sent someone to send a message to let him bring his two younger brothers and the eldest lady to the banquet together.

"Mother, you wrote back this time."

Liu Can supported Mrs. Liu, and the news reached his mother's ears again.

However, Mrs. Liu also seems to be a stubborn character, with a faceless expression, and said lightly: "Let's go, let's talk about seeing the real person." ”

Liu Can shook his head helplessly, he couldn't twist with his mother, so he could only listen to it.

"Yes, mother."

An Yi had already arranged for someone to pack up the tent for this banquet, so that as soon as the Liu family walked in, they felt that although they were in this chaotic situation in the northwest, they could also make so many delicacies from the mountains and seas like a trick.

"Come, General Liu, eldest lady, take a seat quickly." An Yi saw Liu Can helping his mother into the camp, his face looked very happy, and he hurriedly greeted the generals and led them into the table.

Mrs. Liu took off her son's hand, looked at An Yi and asked Liu Can with a smile, "Is this the General Yi you mentioned to me?" ”

Liu Can nodded, but before he could answer, An Yi interjected first, "Haha, the eldest lady recognizes it correctly, it is in the bottom, the eldest lady has always been in good health?" ”

Mrs. Liu smiled and bowed very respectfully to An Yi, "General Lao and the prince are worried, alas, they are old, their ears and eyes are not bright, and they have to serve the old~"

Having said that, An Yi did not see any traces of time from Mrs. Liu's ruddy complexion, a round goose egg face, compared to some flat-headed people's beautiful yellow flower daughters, probably because of such a face that can be described as charming, this Mrs. Liu looks very kind, as if she does not match the femme fatale in Liu Xuan's mouth.

"This is the commander of Shaanxi, General Liao."

An Yi exchanged a few words with them, and then introduced the bearded general Liao Ying to them again, in other words, it is estimated that this brother saw the commander, I am afraid that he didn't know where to put his hand, and he was so frightened that he hit his head on the ground.

However, Tuo Liuxuan's clothes have also been eaten by the brothers in Liufu in the past few years.

"Lord Huai has arrived!"

Gao Ciyi's style can be regarded as a full show, when he first walked into the house, An Yi somehow saw his luxurious appearance of the python robe and jade belt, and there was always a smile in his heart, maybe he was more accustomed to the young man with a white horse and a silver gun.

"Meet His Royal Highness King Huai!"

When everyone was worshipping on the ground, Liu Can glanced at the Huai Wangye, who felt a little serious when he saw him earlier, without a trace, and now he was full of red light and radiant, thinking that he should be in a good mood, and it was related to his sister's arrest.

Gao Ciyi held his hand to everyone, motioned for them all to get up, and then turned to the main seat in front of the table, and said with a smile: "It's really time for this banquet today, before the banquet, this king wants to give you a big gift, and this gift is also what this king just received in the afternoon!" ”

After speaking, he waved to the two personal soldiers at the door of the camp, "Bring it in and let you take a look." ”

"Yes!"

Although Liu Can and Mrs. Liu should have a good idea of the gift Gao Ciyi said, Liu Xuan was still a little frightened when she was escorted in by a few soldiers.

Concubine Hui, who was originally high above and favored the sixth palace, had already lost the dazzling glory of the day, and was placed on her neck by a flail that looked like she weighed fifty or sixty pounds.

The two sergeants behind him put the water and fire sticks in their hands on Liu Xuan's two bare ankles.

"Ahh

Liu Xuan screamed, "plopped" and bent his legs, and knelt heavily on the ground.

The scene of spicy hands destroying flowers in front of him didn't seem to make the smile on the face of Huai Wang Gao Ciyi less than half a point, but it became more and more intense under Liu Can's gaze.

"The queen has a decree to punish this demon woman severely, and she must not leave her hands, but she still wants this king to bring this demon woman to Wang Jing alive, don't look at her miserable appearance, the rice and meat on weekdays are more abundant than our soldiers in Daxia."

"Hahaha~"

I don't know if it was due to the deterrence of King Huai, anyway, An Yi looked at the three brothers of the Liu family and grinned one by one after hearing these words.

"I am showing this gift to you, and I want you to know."

Gao Ciyi said as she spoke, and the expression on her face suddenly became cold,

"But what will happen to anyone who dares to go against my royal brother and the queen's mother, you have to weigh it yourself."

After speaking, Gao Ciyi glanced at Liu Can intentionally or unintentionally.

This glance almost scared Liu Can to fall off the stool, and quickly knelt on the ground, and said in a loud voice: "I am loyal to the prince, loyal to the mother, and have no two hearts!" ”

Seeing that the three brothers were all kneeling on the ground as if they were pecking rice, Gao Ciyi's expression that could be said to be killing intent just now instantly became smiling again, "General Liu is the loyal and good of the country, and the king of the heart naturally knows it, so there is no need to be polite." ”

Comfortably sat at the position of Gao Ciyi's head, holding the teacup in front of her with low eyebrows and pouring it gently, but she glanced at Mrs. Liu without a trace.

Although the woman's face still had a stiff expression like someone else owed her two hundred taels of silver, it was still not difficult to see the fleeting look of fear in her eyes.

That's right, that's what Comfort wants.

"Come, don't be restrained, this is not in the palace, you can take care of yourself." Gao Ciyi motioned to the soldiers by the curtain to take Liu Xuan out, and then raised his hand to a table of people and said, smiling.

As far as Gao Ciyi is concerned, since the last Hongmen banquet for He Liu in Lanzhou City, he has grown from a small student to a backbone member of the An Opera Troupe, and he is not far from being comfortable on the stage.

If you want to say that these people don't know if they are brought by An Yi, from An Xin to Jin Mingyin, to Gao Ciyi, and even the veteran Jiang Shang, they are full of drama spirit!

With this as a premise, the sons of the Liu family were more respectful to An Yi and Huai Wang Gao Ciyi during the whole banquet, especially Liu Can, who was holding the wine cup in his hand and An Yi went back and forth, and never stopped.

After all, in Liu Can's opinion, this General Yi is a celebrity around King Huai, and he must have something to do with King Yong, can you still seize this opportunity to climb high branches?

Liu Can can drink, and he waved his hand one after another, for fear that he would get drunk and miss the next thing, so he glanced at Gao Ciyi and asked him to help top it.

This is not to say how much wine Gao Ciyi can drink more than An Yi, but the identity of the prince is here, you Liu Can just came with a whole glass, and took a shallow sip of the meaning, and no one dared to say a word.

Of course, the focus of An Yi's attention is naturally not the three brothers of the Liu family who have been deeply impressed by the deterrence of King Huai, but the whole banquet has been eaten until the cups are staggered, and they all look like they are sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, and they have been quietly on the eldest lady in the lower position opposite.

At least he had to make sure that every step he took didn't make the lady suspicious.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, except for Liao Ying, who left the table early under the pretext of patrolling the camp according to the comfortable arrangement, the other people were all drunk and red.

"Okay, General Liu, please."

An Yi took the wine cup brought by Liu Can, slowly covered it in front of him, pretending to be drinking, and took this opportunity to glance at the guard standing by the door without a trace.

The guard must have been informed a long time ago, and had been staring at An Yi for a signal waiting for him almost all night, and after seeing this long-awaited eye shoot at him, he looked around vigilantly to make sure that no one noticed him, and then slipped out of the tent.

"Come, let's raise a glass together, wishing the prince a thousand years of happiness and wishing His Royal Highness King Yong ten thousand blessings!"

"Come!"

An Yi took the lead in standing up with a smile and raised the wine cup high to the surroundings, and then the people of the Liu family and Gao Ciyi also stood up, ready to face Dongyao and have a drink.

however

Just when almost everyone's wine cup was already on their lips, a personal soldier rushed in from outside the camp.

The soldier was still very flustered, or he seemed to have no idea that there was a banquet in this tent, and before anyone could enter, the voice penetrated in.

"Lord Wang, King Yong's urgent edict!"
