Chapter 240: The Incident
The military camp was in the city, and in the evening, Hao Meng wore a battle armor in addition to the military camp and walked towards the city.
The city, because of the arrival of the war, was deserted, there were few pedestrians on the bleak streets, and the shops on both sides of the streets had long since closed their doors and their door panels were locked.
I don't know how many streets I crossed, Hao Meng went around a lot, and then got into an alley, turned around, and disappeared.
And not far from here, in a relatively remote corner, a tavern with a sign of a liquor shop is still open, which looks particularly strange in the deserted city.
At this time, there were only a few customers in the wine shop, except for the bartender, and they all seemed to know each other and joked with each other.
"Shop, the old rules, one urn of fine wine, two appetizers, hurry up."
A general in armor appeared in the wine shop, and the general entered the wine shop, glanced at the guests, found a place in the room against the window, and sat down.
"Okay, General, wait a minute." The shopkeeper answered, and then instructed the bartender to prepare the food.
Soon, the bartender brought two appetizers, then held a jar of wine and placed it on the table.
"General, slow use." The bartender placed the wine on the table and bowed respectfully.
"Hmm." The general nodded, no longer spoke, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he said to himself: "You really think that alcohol is forbidden in the army, and there is no alcohol to eat." ”
This general is Hao Meng, after he entered the alley, he went straight here, this tavern was discovered by accident, although it is located in the middle of nowhere, but it has not been affected by the war, and it can be regarded as lucky.
With the snacks, Hao Meng poured himself full of wine, drank one cup after another, and soon Hao Meng's face became ruddy.
A jar of wine, Hao Meng drank it for half an hour, and after the wine was exhausted, Hao Meng gave the wine money and left the wine shop.
Just as Hao Meng was walking on the street, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared opposite Hao Meng.
"General Hao Meng, you're polite." The man on the opposite side stood in the middle of the street and made a mockery at Hao Meng.
"Who are you?" Hao Meng raised his eyebrows and looked at the man for a while, Hao Meng was also surprised that he could call his name, so he asked, "I don't seem to know you, right?" ”
The man smiled and said, "I'm not a local person, so the general naturally doesn't know what to do." ”
Although Hao Meng drank a jar of wine, he was still conscious, and when he heard the man's words, he asked, "Then where are you from and why are you here?" ”
Facing Hao Meng's question, the man said slowly: "This is not the place to speak, please come with me." ”
After saying that, the man made a gesture of please, and then led the way towards the side street.
Hao Meng looked at the man and saw that he was not burly, nor tall, and this was in Pengcheng, as long as he was careful, what could he do with himself, he would not besiege him.
And listening to the man's tone, he should be a figure of some force, and he should want to recruit himself.
"Hmph, I'll take a look at what you're planning."
Not long after, the two arrived at a private house, opened the door, and the two sat opposite each other, Hao Meng glanced at the man and said lightly: "Say, who are you?" ”
The man looked at Hao Meng and gently spit out a word in his mouth: "Wei! ”
Hao Meng was suddenly startled, his pupils contracted, he stared at the person in front of him, and said word by word: "Are you the fine work of Wei State?" Aren't you afraid that I will kill you, or catch you and get your reward? ”
"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid, but for the sake of Wei, I still have to see the general." The man said calmly, "Besides, the general doesn't necessarily do this, does he?" ”
Hao Meng did not answer the man's words, but squinted and stared at him.
"Say, what is the purpose of your meeting with me?" Hao Meng obviously didn't want to entangle with him more, and said impatiently.
Before figuring out the purpose of the Wei State, Hao Meng naturally would not act rashly.
"Since the general is straightforward, then I will also say it directly." The man listened to Hao Meng's words, and inevitably breathed a sigh of relief, although what he said was awe-inspiring and righteous, and he didn't care about life and death, but he was indeed beating a drum in his heart.
"Now that my Wei State has captured half of the territory of Lu State, and the destruction of Lu State is just a turnover, why don't the general abandon the secret and help my Wei army take this Pengcheng, after the matter is completed, the King of Wei will be grateful."
Hao Meng sneered and said: "How capable I am when I am the Wei State, it turns out that there is no way to break the city, so I hit the idea on my head." ”
Hao Meng got up directly and said: "Although I have no loyalty to the Lu State, I also have no good impression of the Wei State, I am afraid that it will be a waste of Your Excellency's kindness, rest assured, I will not say anything about you." ”
Without waiting for the man to speak again, Hao Meng directly arched his hand and said, "Farewell!" ”
Hao Meng left the house directly, and the man did not stop him anymore, but said, "If the general changes his mind, he can come here to find me at any time." ”
Hao Meng paused slightly, and then continued to walk out, without responding to the man's words.
Walking to the barracks, Hao Meng's alcohol smell was not concealed at all, he entered his tent, took off his clothes, and Hao Meng was about to fall asleep.
But who knows, before Hao Meng lay down, a person came in the tent, it was Wei Xu.
"You're bold enough." Wei Xu smelled the smell of wine in Hao Meng's tent and couldn't help but say.
He was in the barracks, and heard from the chatter of some soldiers that Hao Meng was out drinking, and he was afraid that something would happen to Hao Meng, so he directly issued a gag order to the soldiers, and he found Hao Meng in person.
"It's okay, it's not that you don't know, the lord and the king don't come to the barracks often, as long as you and I insist that we don't drink and don't get caught, who can help us."
Hao Meng looked at Wei Xu on the side, smiled, and said, "Why don't we go together tomorrow?" It's a bit boring to drink alone. ”
Wei Xu was a little moved, but he still shook his head and said: "No, the prohibition has just come out, such a blatant violation, once the incident happens, we will not have good fruit to eat." ”
"What are you afraid of, in the entire military camp, there are a few people with military positions greater than you and me, besides, for the sake of your sister's face, the lord can still kill you." Hao Meng looked at Wei Xu's appearance and continued to instigate.
"No, I want to go to you, I'll let you go." Wei Xu still gritted his teeth and refused Hao Meng's temptation.
Hao Meng spread his hands and didn't say anything more.
In the next two days, Hao Meng still left the camp in the evening, knowing that after an hour, he returned to the camp with a body of alcohol, but because Wei Xu had ordered in advance to prohibit the soldiers from talking about it, the soldiers just didn't see it.
As the saying goes, often walking by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet, one evening, Lu Bu suddenly came to the barracks on a whim and brought a group of guards to the barracks, which coincided with Hao Meng just leaving the camp to drink.
This was a big deal for Wei Xu on the side, he didn't know where Hao Meng was eating and drinking, and he couldn't send someone to find him, so he could only pray in his heart that he would come back soon.
