Part 2 (35) Birthday Banquet
Bai Qi was thinking about what to do about this, and Bai Yunfan asked worriedly; "Old Seven, this matter is too big, should we inform the capital first? Look at what Dad said about that? ”
Bai Qiyi vetoed: "No, absolutely not." At present, we still don't know anything about the intelligence network of the Huns in Daqi, if we really report to the capital, if there are their people in the upper echelons of the capital, and we are careful to leak the news, then we will be busy in vain. ”
Bai Yunfan nodded after hearing this: "It's still thoughtful, I almost missed a big thing." Let's sum up this matter and come up with a solution. ”
"Don't worry, let me think about it." Bai Qi sat down slowly as he spoke, his eyes kept staring at the documents on the desk, hoping to sort out a clue from them.
Seeing Bai Qi like this, Bai Yunfan didn't speak, but sat quietly on the side, waiting for Bai Qi to come up with a solution. Bai Yunfan has always been a self-aware person, and the situation in front of him is so complex that it is no longer beyond his control.
The room was quiet and only the sound of the two men's breathing could be heard, and the occasional snorting in the distance was "Wandering in this silent night." A few moments passed quickly, and Bai Qi finally stood up and said; "At this point, I think it's a viable solution. ”
Bai Yunfan was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked; "What? Is there a way? ”
Bai Qi smiled slightly and said: "Brother, don't worry, there is a way, but you have to work hard for my brother to make a scene." ”
"As long as there is a way, don't say it's one play, even ten scenes I'll sing it."
The next day, there was news in the army of Jiezhou, and after arriving in Jiezhou, Bai Yunfan, the new army that had not made any big moves, actually posted a post inviting the deputy generals and partial generals of each battalion and brigade to drink with him at night, on the grounds that Bai Yunfan was on his birthday. Bai Yunfan's birthday this time was on a very large scale, and even the thousand-person generals below the brigade were invited.
The people of the Central Plains have always liked to talk about seniority or something, in the Jiezhou army, all the deputy generals and partial generals are older than Bai Yunfan, and the time to mix the army is also long, to be honest, few of them are convinced of this new army in their hearts. After Bai Yunfan arrived, when they carried out the tasks assigned by Bai Yunfan, they basically disobeyed the yang and the yin.
This time Bai Yunfan invited a treat, and accordingly was understood by the officers below as a few meanings, and they always liked to put on old qualifications that this was Bai Yunfan's softness, and what Bai Yunfan wanted to do in the future still depends on their faces, but this kind of people are in the minority. There are also some more sleek, Bai Yunfan has been very decent since he arrived, and he has no good face for those who come to the door with gifts. Now these people understand Bai Yunfan's hospitality like this, Bai Yunfan is not not accepting things, but must first understand the details of the person before accepting it, and then how to say that Bai Yunfan's father is the general of the Great Qi State, and it will definitely not hurt to have a relationship with him. Now Bai Yunfan's treat, in fact, is to give everyone a chance to send things, otherwise a 26-year-old young man, what is his birthday? Those who have this kind of thinking basically account for the majority. Of course, there are also some upright generals, they just come to eat and drink, and the gifts they bring are very ordinary, and these people are very rare.
Jiezhou Military Mansion, standing by the window upstairs, Bai Qi looked at the lively scene downstairs. It was just past noon, and there were already a cloud of guests in front of the gate of Bai Yunfan's residence. There was an endless stream of guests who came to give gifts and congratulations, of course, these people were all invited by Bai Yunfan, including Li Dawei, the governor of the state. Bai Yunfan also repeatedly emphasized on the invitation that Governor Li must bring his wife as well.
In Jiezhou City, the Baihua class is the best opera troupe here, and it will sing late almost every night. It wasn't even noon, and everyone was still practicing in the courtyard, and the gate of the courtyard was smashed. The porter hurriedly went to open the door, and a group of soldiers rushed in outside the door, and the frightened porter hurriedly said: "Ladies and gentlemen, what's wrong with you?" Why don't you go to the garden at night to watch a play, what's going on at this time? ”
One of the leading officers ignored his stubble and replied coldly, "What about your boss?" Call me out. ”
。。。。。。。。
Baiwei Zhai, the best restaurant in Jiezhou City, the chef in it is the best in the area. As he spoke, he was about to open the door to do business, but the gate was smashed. The shopkeeper hurried to open the door, and a group of soldiers stood outside in full armor.
"What's going on?" Although the shopkeeper was afraid, he was not very worried, because this Baiwei Zhai was actually the property of the prefect Li Dawei, and it was easy to say anything when it came to the yamen.
The officer at the head said: "Hurry up and call out your best masters, bring the guys, today we are the master of the army, don't make trouble for me, lest the master be rude." ”
。。。。。。。。。。
Jiezhou City. In the prefect's inner house, it was already noon. Li Dawei was listening to his housekeeper Li Quan's report on what happened this morning.
"Master, at noon today, a few top brands in the Baihua class, as well as a few big cupboards in Baiwei Zhai, were all asked Bai Yunfan to send troops to get them, I guess it's really going to be a big deal."
This morning, when Li Dawei was still lying on the sixth aunt's slippery body doing morning exercises, the housekeeper came to report. Bai Yunfan sent someone to send an invitation and invite him to a birthday feast.
Regarding the arrival of Bai Yunfan, Li Dawei has known about it for a long time. Bai Yunfan's reputation in the capital is not bad, and he didn't hook up with local officials everywhere after he arrived in Xizhou, but has been immersed in understanding the situation of Jiezhou's armaments, and even his prefect's yamen only took a picture when he came, and did not express his intention to be enveloped by him. Li Dawei invited Bai Yunfan to the banquet several times, but Bai Yunfan refused, and his tone was very unpolite.
Judging from Bai Yunfan's performance after coming to Jiezhou, Li Dawei initially thinks that Bai Yunfan is still a child of everyone who wants to do something. Li Dawei, who had a ghost in his heart, naturally became a little wary of Bai Yunfan. It can be said that after Bai Yunfan arrived in Xizhou, Li Dawei's subordinates were secretly paying attention to Bai Yunfan all the time.
Today's performance of Bai Yunfan can be said to have surprised Li Dawei. It's only been half a year since I got to know the state, which shows everyone's squishy nature, and it's not strange to have a birthday feast, but it's outrageous to send troops to invite the troupe and cooks. Thinking of this, Li Dawei was both happy and sad. Fortunately, this Bai Yunfan should not pose much of a threat to himself, so it is estimated that it will not be difficult to buy him if he does this. The sad thing is that he is also a Daqi person, although he has become a traitor to the country, but deep down he still hopes that Daqi can be stronger. In recent years, in the country of Daqi, the wind of luxury, the rule of officials has been corrupted, and the armament has been relaxed, Li Dawei can only be anxious when he sees it, for him, he no longer has the right to worry about the country and the people. This is the deep sorrow of a scholar who once aspired to serve the country, only lamenting that he made a wrong step at the beginning, resulting in such helplessness today.
Li Dawei sighed in his heart, and said to Li Quan: "You go and prepare a birthday gift, and I will go to Bai Yunfan's mansion." ”
The sky passed quickly in a bustle, and the sun went down, but the moon did not appear. Bai Yunfan's house was full of lanterns early, and the invited troupe also set up the stage, and the interest of the visitors seemed to be very high.
Bai Yunfan talked to the guests and toasted the guests everywhere, everything seemed normal, but those who were careful would find that Bai Yunfan would occasionally look up to the west, and the residence of the prefect Li Dawei was in the west.
After the banquet, the huge courtyard on Baiyunfan's Mansion also officially opened, and the invited troupe began to babble and sing, and came. Entertainment is no better these days than it is now, and theater is a major entertainment. Master, please watch the play, those who are willing to make friends with Bai Yunfan are of course willing to let go of this opportunity to stay in Baifu more. As for the others, most of them don't have anything to do at night anyway, so why not watch a play? So there are almost no people who leave after eating, and even if they want to leave, when they get to the gate, they will be persuaded by the gatekeeper to come back. The reason is very simple, for a while, Bai Yunfan wants to watch the play with everyone and connect with each other.
The drama on the stage was very exciting, as the leading figure of the two ways of Jiezhou's civil and military affairs, Bai Yunfan personally accompanied Li Dawei to sit in the front row to watch the play. Although Li Dawei felt that Bai Yunfan was a little polite, he thought that this might be because after Bai Yunfan took office in Jiezhou, many things were blocked and had to be repaired by himself, Li Dawei did not feel strange. Li Dawei even had a feeling of pride in his heart, Bai Yunfan was still a little tender after all, and without his cooperation, he couldn't afford to make big waves in Jiezhou.
Three o'clock has passed, and at this time, Bai Yunfan's heart is like countless cat's claws scratching, and he secretly looks west from time to time. It's getting late, the show is almost over, there is no news, and Bai Yunfan has no excuse to stay guests.
The news that Bai Yunfan had been waiting for finally came, as soon as the hour came, five cannons rang out violently in the west, and five fireworks flew into the night sky, in this silent night, the explosion of fireworks spread far away, and the guests who were watching the play turned their heads to look over, only to see that the sky in the west was dyed with fireworks and a brilliant one.
Of course, Li Dawei also saw it, and he was strange in his heart, and when he looked back, Bai Yunfan was no longer sitting beside him, and he suddenly felt a strange smell in his senses. When Li Dawei was secretly wondering what would happen, a group of soldiers suddenly poured in outside the courtyard, all of them fully armed, and quickly surrounded the guests present, with swords and guns in their hands pointed at the guests, and the archers also opened their bows and arrows, which was completely a posture of wanting to do something.
Thinking of Bai Yunfan's sudden disappearance just now, Li Dawei secretly shouted that it was not good, but seeing that most of the officers present were officers from various battalions and brigades, Li Dawei was somewhat relieved. "In this situation, it's better to bless Bai Yunfan, all of this is not for yourself." Li Dawei said to himself in his heart.
"Zhao Youde, everyone, buddy, what do you want to do?" The general who brought in the troops seemed to be familiar with many of the people present, and soon someone asked questions.
"Zhao Youde, what do you mean by this? Bring so many people in, do you want to rebel? Li Dawei felt that at this time, he should show the majesty of the highest local governor.
Zhao Youde is the only general in Jiezhou City who obeys Bai Yunfan, this person has always been upright, and the relationship with his colleagues is not very good, this will make Zhao Youde speak more politely, pointed to the guy in the hands of the soldiers behind him and said: "I'm sorry everyone, the army lord has something important to announce, everyone should wait quietly." I advise you to stay there honestly, or don't blame your brother for being spicy. ”
Zhao Youde's words were hard to infiltrate, which would make most people feel that something was wrong, and a few people who wanted to go out with their faces were soon forced back by the bright knives and guns.
Zhao Youde looked at the stage, and at this time, the stage also stopped singing. Zhao Youde waved his hand and said, "Why did you stop?" Keep singing, everyone is still waiting to see the ending. ”。
"Zhao Youde, where is the master of the army? We're going to see Lord Commander. There was a person who shouted like this, and everyone shouted along with it, and after a while, they all made a fuss, and they all clamored to see Bai Yunfan.
Seeing such a scene, Li Dawei hesitated a little, after all, what Bai Yunfan is doing now is a thing, whether it is aimed at the military world or himself, and there is no conclusion for the time being. After Bai Yunfan arrived in Jiezhou, although he did not cooperate, Bai Yunfan did not use force against himself, it seems that Bai Yunfan should want to rectify the army.
Li Dawei thought of this, and just wanted to persuade these officers not to make trouble, and when he waited patiently to watch the play, he saw Zhao Youde raise his hand, and the attackers behind him immediately raised their bows and arrows, as long as Zhao Youde's hand fell, it would be bloodied on the spot.
It is human nature to be afraid of death, everyone saw that Zhao Youde had the intention of not obeying a word and immediately started to do it, the person who shouted the loudest just now immediately quieted down, Li Dawei originally wanted to say a few words, seeing this scene, he also closed his mouth, thinking that this matter should not have much to do with himself, Li Dawei also sat back in his seat honestly and watched his play with peace of mind. Thinking about his "wife" being with Bai Yunfan's wife, Li Dawei is even more at ease.
In Bai Yunfan's inner house, Bing Yan is talking to Wuyunna, women are like this, three sentences or two sentences like this, you can become friends very much, not to mention that Wuyunna has the heart to befriend Bingyan, the wife of the army, Bingyan also shoulders the heavy responsibility of stabilizing the prefect's wife, and the two sides are very speculative under the deliberate catering, and they have the strength to see each other late.
Wuyunna also heard the movement outside, and while she was surprised, she was also secretly vigilant, so she wanted to prepare for luck, in case it was for herself and Li Dawei, she could take Bingyan as a hostage.
Wuyunna's luck immediately realized that it was bad, not only did she not have luck, but she suddenly felt that she had no strength at all, and she wanted to sleep lazily. Wuyunna will understand that this matter is aimed at herself and Li Dawei.
At this time, Bingyan smiled: "What's wrong?" Mrs. Li, do you feel unwell? ”
Uyunna only saw the smiling face swaying in Na, and fell to the ground.
