Chapter 45: The Hung Gate

After Tang Xu and Lan Jun handed over the invitation and registered their names, they entered the General's Mansion, and were temporarily arranged to rest in the small hall with other guests, and then entered the table when the time came. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The waiting time is long, and Tang Xu, who is under great psychological pressure, feels that life is like a year.

"Childe, please." Tang Xu was anxious, a young man walked towards him and Lan Jun, Tang Xu was still trying to remember who this person was? Unexpectedly, this person approached and arched his hand to Lan Jun.

"This son doesn't need to be polite." Lan Jun returned the salute to him.

"In Xia Yue Zifeng, dare to ask Gongzi's surname?" Yue Zifeng gave his hand again.

"Don't dare to have a surname, Xiaosheng Lanjun." Lan Jun replied.

"Dare to ask where Lan Gongzi lives now? What is your job? Yue Zifeng asked.

"Xiaosheng lives in Lanzhou City, and he has no official or position." Lan Jun is still polite. But the two asked and answered, attracting many onlookers.

"What does the family do at Nalan Gongzi?" Yue Zifeng seemed to be particularly interested in Lan Jun, Tang Xu saw that Yue Zifeng was like checking the household registration, and he thought that he would find fault so soon, this expression was a bit similar to those sons and buddies who looked at Lan Jun just now, but the two of them were polite on the surface, and they couldn't find a reason to drive people away.

"I didn't make a living, I just helped out in Tang Gongzi's medical hall." Lan Jun returned.

"Oh." Yue Zifeng chuckled, and his eyes became even more unscrupulous.

"Son-in-law, if there is nothing else, Xiaosheng will leave first." Lan Jun also guessed a rough idea, and he had no intention of dealing with these boring people.

"Lan Gongzi, please." Yue Zifeng was satisfied and let go, and the onlookers also seemed to be satisfied and dispersed.

"These people are boring." Tang Xu and Lan Jun walked aside. Lan Jun didn't speak, just smiled.

After another cup of tea, the guards of the General's Mansion came, and the people who were still walking around casually just now immediately returned to their seats and sat down, and Tang Xu and Lan Jun also found a nearby seat to sit down. The general's pomp and circumstance was quite big, and the guards began to roll out according to the roster, Tang Xu was very strange, didn't he have all the names just now, why would he order again. But then he understood, the gate was only to verify the invitees, but this time these people were arranged, and those who arrived first could be seated first, and it immediately showed who was more noble and who was in general. Tang Xu naturally ranked behind, but he was not the last. But Lan Jun was not named from beginning to end, and when the guards left, Yue Zifeng, who was angry, simply incited others to question whether Lan Jun had sneaked away.

"A bold fanatic, he actually broke into the general's mansion privately." Yue Zifeng looked at Lan Jun coldly, completely losing the politeness just now.

"There is an invitation card as proof, do you want to say that the guards of the General's Mansion did not check strictly and let him in without permission?" Tang Xu choked back, and Yue Zifeng immediately closed his mouth, but he still glared at Lan Jun unrelentingly.

"Princess Xihe invites Prince Lan Jun to sit at the table." At this time, another guard came to pass the word and asked Lan Jun to enter the table first, and as soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the room, and whispers were endless. Tang Xu was also confused for a while, and the worry in his heart was even worse, why did he let Lan Jun go first, could there be any problems here?

"Why could he be seated first?" Yue Zifeng couldn't sit still, and had the audacity to ask the guard.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, this is the General's Mansion, you just wait for the arrangement." The guard replied, and then took Lan Jun away.

"What is he, how could Princess Xihe take a fancy to him?" Yue Zifeng was indignant, and the people next to him also echoed.

"No matter how bad Lan Jun is, he will not belittle others for no reason, chewing his tongue behind his back." Tang Xu replied.

"What are you, why can you come to the General's Mansion for a banquet?" At this moment, Yue Zifeng rushed to Tang Xu in annoyance, like a splash.

"I'm really not a person, and I don't want to come, the general has to let me come, what can I do?" Tang Xu is more energetic than him, there is no need for this kind of person to give face.

"Feng'er, don't be rude to Doctor Tang, give me a retreat!" Yue Zifeng still had a seizure, but he was scolded by an old man. Tang Xu saw that it was Mr. Yue Lan, the old shopkeeper of Hongtaiyuan, the largest pawnshop in the city.

"Mr. Yue, I was offended just now." Tang Xu hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute, Mr. Yue is a good man in the city, he has helped many people who have no food or clothing, Tang Xu has also seen a doctor for his wife, although he has not had much contact, but he has a good impression of him.

"Shicai is the first to be rude, and I hope Dr. Tang will not be surprised." Mr. Yue said.

"Daddy." Yue Zifeng, who was reprimanded by his father, was very unconvinced, he couldn't see where this Tang Xu deserved his father's kindness.

"Shut up for me, although you are the same age as Dr. Tang, you have grown up for twenty years in vain. Dr. Tang is a humble person with excellent medical skills, and he has also treated your mother for a serious illness, if you can have half of Dr. Tang's character and talent, I will be blind to death. Mr. Yue couldn't help but scold when he saw that his son was still messing around.

"Mr. Yue, this is serious." An old man said something about life and death, which scared Tang Xu to play a round.

"Daddy is angry, Feng'er knows that he is wrong." Yue Zifeng saw that his father was really angry, and quickly admitted his mistake, and Mr. Yue calmed down his anger.

"General, please take your seats." As soon as the room was quiet, the guards of the General's Mansion came to pass the word, and a group of people tidied up their clothes and followed the guards out of the room. Tang Xu was interrupted by what happened just now, and almost forgot about Lan Jun, and looked left and right when he came out with the crowd, wanting to see if Lan Jun was okay. But along the way, there was no one else except the servants of the General's Mansion, and it was not until he entered the banquet hall that he saw Lan Jun sitting on the table in a dignified manner. Heaven is as people wish, and Tang Xu was also arranged at Lan Jun's table.

"Lan Jun." There were other people sitting next to him, and Tang Xu just called him, not good at showing his anxiety too bluntly.

"Don't worry, Tang Gongzi, everything is fine with Lan Jun." Lan Jun understood what Tang Xu meant, and let him feel at ease. Tang Xu calmed down a little at this time, but Princess Xihe hadn't come out yet, and it was too early to make a conclusion about whether this was a Hongmen banquet or not.

"Princess Xi and the princess are here! The Great General has arrived! ”

Everyone stood up, Tang Xu also quickly stood up, the general Li Yu and Princess Xihe were surrounded by guards and walked into the hall, Tang Xu saw Wang Dali walking beside the princess at a glance, and before he could see Lan Jun's reaction, he was attracted by another face. This person is very good-looking, his face is so beautiful that he can be compared to Lan Jun, he walked at the end of the queue wearing the clothes of the guards of the General's Mansion, but this face Tang Xu felt familiar, and it also aroused some bad feelings for Tang Xu. Where had he seen it? But I didn't have a clue for a while.

"Tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, although I, Li Yu, am not Han, but I have been stationed in Lanzhou City for many years, and I have long been in the countryside and customs, and I want to gather with you every festival." Li Yu seemed to be in a good mood, and when he looked at Princess Xi next to him, he was also smiling. Tang Xu looked around, and finally his gaze fell on the suspicious face, and a vague impression in his mind was slowly becoming clear. Tang Xu didn't listen to what Li Yu said later, or who said anything, he fell into his own contemplation, trying to dig out the person in his head, but it always seemed that it was a little bit worse.

"Princess Xihe gave Prince Lan a glass of wine." Just when Tang Xu's mind was about to become a mess, a voice pierced Tang Xu's ears, as if everything was illuminated in an instant. Tang Xu remembered that this person was the Khitan woman who had kidnapped Lan Jun, but he didn't expect her to be so capable that she actually sneaked into the General's Mansion under the cover of others. Before, Tang Xu and Lan Jun were not successful, but this time Princess Xihe invited Lan Jun, it was also this woman's trick. Tang Xu followed the prestige, and Lan Jun had already left the table and walked out to take the wine glass. Tang Xu stared at the face behind the general, and that face seemed to feel Tang Xu's gaze and looked over, but there was no surprise in a pair of good-looking eyes, only a malicious smile.

"Lan Jun!" Tang Xu didn't care about the full house of dignitaries and gentry, and rushed forward with a brisk stride. Now that Lan Jun is exposed to everyone, and she is getting closer and closer to the woman, if she wants to do anything to Lan Jun, I am afraid that the Da Luo Immortal will not be able to save him.

"Bold! How can you shout at the feast? The Khitan woman dodged, jumped out from behind Li Yu, and then pulled out her waist knife and pointed it at Lan Jun and Tang Xu, who rushed over.

"Tang Xu, what are you going to do here?" This sudden change made Li Yu unaware of why, and he was also very angry. And the tense atmosphere deliberately created by the Khitan woman also made him hostile to Tang Xu.

"General, this man..." Tang Xu wanted to defend himself, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by the shouts of the Khitan woman catching the assassin. Immediately, many guards with waist knives poured in from outside the hall, and surrounded the two people with a hula. Although Tang Xu was nervous, he was not afraid, anyway, he was framed. But when he looked at the woman again, he noticed a hint of cunning in her eyes, which made him chuckle in his heart, and he had a sense of foreboding. Sure enough, the woman took advantage of the chaos to suddenly turn around, went around behind Li Yu, and strangled his neck, Li Yu was shocked but didn't have time to resist, so she was immediately restrained by her. Tang Xu watched anxiously as the woman slowly raised the knife in her hand, as if she was showing off to herself. Although Tang Xu had a bad impression of Li Xu, if he hadn't let this woman run away at that time, he wouldn't have gotten to such a point. He glanced at the wine glass in Lan Jun's hand in a panic, and without thinking about it, he grabbed the wine glass and smashed it towards the woman, coincidentally, the wine glass just hit her face, the Khitan woman was in pain, and the strength in her hand was obviously lighter, Li Yu broke free decisively, and the guards who originally surrounded Tang Xu and Lan Jun immediately went over to surround the unlucky and hateful woman.
