Chapter 83: Attack
The first day of the year 200 A.D.
The heavy snow is still falling, putting on a silver-white heavy makeup for the entire Shu County, and under the snow, the Chinese New Year's Eve in Lujiang is particularly quiet.
Outside the city is already a battle of arms, the city is still lively, although the shops in the city are closed, but those peddlers and pawns are still busy. The craftsmen, the porters, and even the charlatans who claimed to be the masters of the physiognomy were all shuttling through Shu County, all smiling, and it seemed that no one was willing to give up the opportunity to salvage a sum in the Yuan Day.
In the Taishou Mansion, it is already full of lights, which is commensurate with the atmosphere of the entire Yuan Day, but if you look closely, whether it is the maid butler or the guards and servants, no one has a happy color on their faces.
Pan Ran, as a housekeeper, has already put on a new brocade robe, and on the first day of today, the Taishou Mansion opened the main gate, and his task at this time is to pick up those bigwigs in Lujiang County.
"He Xianjun has arrived!"
"Congratulations to He County, please come from He County."
Pan Ran pulled his collar and swayed all over his body, although his body was extremely cold-resistant, he still insisted on his post.
"Captain Gong." Pan Ran looked up and saw that Gong Du had already walked briskly.
"Old Pan!" Gong Du patted Pan Ran on the shoulder, and said, "Madame, let me come to see you, I'm afraid that you won't be able to take care of something." ”
"Don't worry, the captain is almost here, just send Ji Ninggong alone, the captain can go back to reply to Mrs., let him rest assured."
Although Gong Du looked around uneasily, he finally nodded, turned around and planned to leave, today's celebration must be a peak showdown, and every link must be cautious.
Pan Ran watched Gong Du leave, and when he looked back, he saw that a carriage had stopped at the door.
The servant had set up the stool, and the old man with the cloak had been led down by a fourteen or fifteen child.
Looking at the old man's gray hair, and then looking at the sign on the carriage, Pan Ran reacted and shouted loudly.
"Greetings to Duke Lu."
...
In the main hall of the Taishou Mansion, the two sides were already full of desks, and everyone with status and status sat in separate places, but there was no one above the chief.
Since ancient times, they have been guests and hosts, even if Zhang Cong's henchmen have been holding back for several days and preparing to attack, but now that the people of the Gao family have not shown up, they can only wait for a while.
The news of Gao Yun's disappearance has spread to some extent, and the officials of all sizes in the audience are all impatient, even if the food and wine on the case are already dazzling, but how can anyone have the heart to eat.
There are only three people, but they are different. Lu Kang sat on the left side, closed his eyes and rested, and his grandson Lu Xun kept looking at the people around him, his eyes rolled from time to time, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
He Fu looked leisurely, sitting on the right side of the house, talking and laughing with the officials around him, but it seemed that he was introducing his son to others.
Zhang Cong sat down on Lu Kang, but his expression was leisurely, his hands were very standard in front of his chest, and the smile on his face was always incomprehensible.
But in the next second, the curtain moved.
These officials are basically very shrewd, and all eyes have gathered there at the moment the curtain moves, some are looking forward to it, some are silent, and some are saddening, but all of them are surprised that they all want to see who it is.
Two clusters of pheasant feathers have been the first to fall into people's eyes, followed by silver armor and silver crowns, cherry red cloaks one after another, and only when the person has fixed his body can he see it clearly.
Woman!
This dress-up?
Those who have a little insight know that this is not much different from Lu Fengxian's outfit under the Tiger Prison, and they have long heard that Gao Yun is Lu Bu's son-in-law, so who is not Lu Bu's daughter?
To be honest, although the status of women in the Han Dynasty was much higher than that in the Tang and Song dynasties, even so, where could there be women presiding over the celebrations, especially the Yuan Day celebrations? It's immoral!
"Today is the Yuan Day celebration, but the humble husband contracted the cold last night and was bedridden, and the banquet could only be presided over by the concubine!"
Lu Lingqi glanced at the audience coldly, and the momentum that came with her had suppressed the arrogance of many people who were about to move. It's no wonder that the Mighty Martial Arts skill is a personal deterrent, and this skill is not only effective on the battlefield, but is still useful here.
Lu Lingqi sat down and said loudly: "The concubine is a female streamer, and she is not strong enough to drink, so the matter of drinking will be handled by Hao Zhao, the eldest disciple of the clumsy husband." ”
Lu Lingqi's voice was extremely intimidating, and some people who were almost determined even thought that it was the reincarnation of Wen Hou. Lu Lingqi sneered, and said to Hao Zhaois beside her: "Bo Dao, go and toast your lords!" ”
Hao Zhao is also wearing armor today, and it can be seen that the armor of an adult still looks a little fat, but even so, he still uses a rope to tie it tightly. Hao Zhao's eyebrows have been twisted into a rope, he has long regarded himself as a member of the Gao family, so he must also be determined to help his master and wife through this pass.
"The last general salutes Ji Ning's public wine."
That's right, Hao Zhao's self-proclaimed general is not a student. This is the position he gave himself, and his purpose is also very clear, that is, to tell everyone that his teacher is not only a Taishou, but also a general with military power.
"Lu Kang coerced Sun Xun Xie Taishou Gao disciple wine."
Lu Kang is still very in line with the rules, now Hao Zhao's representative is Gao Yun, Gao Yun is the supreme leader of the Lujiang area, he Lu Kang faced Gao Yun's representative toast, and he must be thanked in etiquette.
Hao Zhao drank it all, his eyes were calm, and he bowed down again, "Gong Ji Ning is polite, and the teacher thanked Gong Ji Ning." ”
Hao Zhao was neither humble nor arrogant, Lu Kang's eyes were full of appreciation, but Lu Xun on the side looked at Hao Zhao curiously.
Lu Xun was interested in Hao Zhao, and so was Hao Zhao, and after he toasted with He Fu, he found that there was another person of the same age as him here, and with his feelings, the son of He Xianjun was not a simple character.
"The last general salutes the county lieutenant Zhang."
Hao Zhao moved in front of Zhang Cong and bowed again.
All the eyes in the field are also gathered here, and people with discerning eyes know that the one who took the lead this time is probably Zhang Cong.
In the face of Hao Zhao's toast, Zhang Cong did not move, his eyes were still squinting, as if he hadn't heard.
"The last general respects Zhang County Lieutenant wine!"
Hao Zhao's figure trembled slightly, and his tone had become heavier, but Zhang Cong still didn't move.
"To the county lieutenant of Zhang County!"
The scene was already a little out of control, Hao Zhao's tone was obviously angry, Lu Kang Hefu's eyebrows were stirred at the same time, Lu Lingqi's eyes were staring at Zhang Cong, and Gong Du on the side had already pressed his big hand on the weapon.
"Respectfully..."
"Presumptuous!"
Zhang Cong abruptly interrupted Hao Zhao's words, and in a second, he had already gotten up, and he looked around angrily, making a look of righteous indignation.
"In the ancient etiquette law, how can a woman preside over a banquet? It's even more nonsense to substitute wine for a child, Gao Taishou refused to show up at the Yuan Day celebration, didn't he regard the Lujiang princes as nothing? I look at this wine... Don't drink it!
