Chapter 165 "Hongmen Banquet"

The summer sun is like a huge furnace, and the flames emitted from it relentlessly bake the land. (.CC The good-looking Daling Wharf is as crowded with people as ever, and unlike before, there are more big people in the eyes of the people.

They huddled at the front of the queue, anxiously watching the ships coming and going on the docks. Standing at the forefront was Lord Huang Xilong, the governor of Daling Province, and he was the only one in the crowd who could maintain a trace of calmness. It's just that whether this calmness is true or not, there is no way to know.

His Majesty's will was quickly conveyed to this remote place of the Chen country, and after learning that the lord was going to parachute into Daling Province, Huang Shilong realized that the power in his hands would probably be completely hollowed out, and after a moment of confusion, he became elated.

This is his chance, his best chance to get out of this barren land.

Judging from the favor that the Lord received, his coming to Lingyun Province was definitely only a temporary matter, as long as he could gain his trust, the dream of leaving this ghost place that he had always dreamed of would definitely come true.

Huang Shilong secretly clenched his fists.

"Hurry, hurry!"

The Doge's men were urging the boatmen to evacuate the harbor and make way for the approaching fleet. Originally, he ordered the boatmen not to drive the boat over last night, but there were no soldiers in their hands, and the wicked people of Daling Province did not listen to their orders at all. At this time, they were able to be a little obedient, and it was also because Huang Shilong promised a reward with his heart.

"Boat, ship is coming!"

Everyone waiting on the dock looked at the huge ship that seemed to be the overlord of the water and slowly approached the dock as if they were looking forward to the arrival of a savior.

The flag fluttering on the ship is embroidered with a single Chen character. The entire Chen State can embroider this surname on the banner, except for King Chen, there is only the terrifying Chen family.

The Lord is going to take charge of this place.

At this time, Chen Baichuan stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the crowded dock from afar, and the sea breeze gently lifted the hair on his forehead.

Take charge of the country and rebuke Fang Xuan. Chen Baichuan had a strange emotion in his heart, and involuntarily blurted out: "This is my country." ”、

Behind him, several wooden pillars were erected on the deck, on which were covered with large sheets of silk. This kind of extravagance and waste that makes the rich even despised, but it is only because Lord Chen wants to watch the scenery on the deck with that beautiful lady.

That beautiful lady, when she heard Chen Baichuan's rebellious words, couldn't help laughing. She had long been accustomed to Chen Baichuan's weird jokes from time to time, and now she seemed to be enjoying them.

The only person who can watch the scenery on the deck with Chen Baichuan is naturally the "main house" of Baishuang.

Bai Shuang picked up the moonshine brew next to him, took a sip, and said, "Okay, I know you're amazing." Lord Chen, the sun is so big outside, why don't you deign to come over and have a glass of thin wine with the little girl? ”

Chen Baichuan's neck is red and already tanned, besides, it is really difficult to refuse the invitation of a beauty.

Moonshine is poured into a crystal cup, rippling with beautiful colors in the sunlight that shines through the satin. Chen Baichuan gently shook the wine glass in his hand and lay comfortably on the recliner. The feeling of comfort made him moan of satisfaction.

This time I chose to come to Daling Province by water, which is really the right choice. You can't help but avoid the fatigue of traveling by land, and you can also enjoy the beautiful scenery of the blue sea and blue sky along the way.

At this time, it was the most suitable time to sail, and Chen Baichuan arrived at this place smoothly along the way.

"My lord, the water at Daling Wharf is too shallow, and this Invincible is estimated to be unreliable. The subordinates have prepared another ship for the adults, and they ask the adults to move them. ”

The person who spoke was Shao Hua, the captain of the Invincible, and his respectful attitude towards Chen Baichuan was not because of the power of the Chen family, nor because the Invincible was actually the private property of the Chen family.

The main reason is because the birth of the Invincible was single-handedly promoted by Chen Baichuan, and even more so, Chen Baichuan promised him to build a bigger and stronger ship!

"Let's go, then." Chen Baichuan sighed weakly, and with the helplessness of not being able to stand on the bow of the Invincible to show off his might, he boarded the prepared boat. As family members, it was not suitable for Bai Shuang and the others to show their heads and board other ships.

At Daling Wharf, there are still ships that have not had time to evacuate.

Chen Baichuan couldn't help frowning, he didn't want Daling Province to go to great lengths because of his arrival. But without receiving his own instructions, he didn't even prepare in advance for the positions that a few civilian ships should give up, and that Governor Daling's attitude towards himself needs to be carefully figured out.

Huang Shilong didn't know that Lord Chen, who had just stepped on the dock, had already become wary of him because of some small misunderstandings.

With a flattery on his face, and a group of local officials, he trotted towards Chen Baichuan's position. Shaking a big lump of round fat on his stomach, Huang Shilong still ran in front of everyone, taking the lead in bowing his head.

"Huang Shilong, the governor of Daling Province, paid a visit to Lord Chen."

Such a dog-legged style made Chen Baichuan puzzled, I don't know what trick this Huang Shilong is doing, could it be that he first numbs himself, and then looks for an opportunity to give himself a hard blow?

Or treat yourself with this kind of transcendent gift, and then wait for the opportunity to make a small report?

Whatever move Huang Shilong made to defend his power, in Chen Baichuan's opinion, it was all right, and he was even ready to fight wits and courage with Huang Shilong. It's just that he didn't know that Huang Shilongpa had to ask for the power in charge of a province.

"Why should Governor Huang be polite." Chen Baichuan picked up the big fat man who was kneeling on the ground and smiling flatteringly, in the future, maybe there would be a time when this person would be used in Daling Province, before the other party showed malice, Chen Baichuan was really unwilling to make enemies.

The big fat man Huang Shilong didn't rub it either, the taste of the fat on his knees was not good, and as soon as Chen Baichuan helped him, he got up from the ground.

Because of his big belly, after Huang Shilong tried to bend down, he only made his upper body look slightly forward. He was not stingy and respectful: "Lord Chen, these are the parents and officials of the counties of Daling Province, and here are the gentlemen of Daling Province. ”

Hongmen Banquet? A big question mark appeared in Chen Baichuan's heart, the attitude of the governor was too humble from the beginning of the meeting, and it was reasonable that the senior officials who controlled one side would not be able to do it even if they were afraid of the strength of their own court officials. And Governor Huang walked smoothly when he slipped his beard and patted his horse, which seemed to be the way it should be. If this person is pretending, it is really difficult to deal with.

Chen Baichuan became curious, what kind of drama will be staged in this "Hongmen Banquet"? (To be continued.) )
