Chapter 246: The Hou Mansion Goes to the Banquet
"Why bother with me, my store is small, if there is food, it must be sold, and now there is really no food, so you should go to other houses to ask." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
In an alley facing the street, an elderly shopkeeper was blocking the doorway, allowing the stranger to plead and plead, and he did not move half a step.
"My husband Hugh wants to deceive me, I obviously saw that someone had just bought food and left, how could I be so in such a hurry, but I had no food as soon as I came!" Yiren's face was full of anger, and he grabbed the sleeve of the shopkeeper, and along the gap in the door, he could vaguely see the full granaries behind the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper was a kind man, although he sympathized with him, but he really didn't dare to sell food with him, looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, the shopkeeper suddenly whispered: "The noble man still goes out of the city to think of a way, in this Handan City, you can't buy food, the little old man is all about this, the noble man is still good for himself." Today, the shop is closed, so let's go. ”
After saying that, he beckoned the guy to clean up the storefront, but he didn't even do business.
The stranger retreated to the street empty, the hunger in his belly seemed to be burning his own flesh and blood, and he was extremely flustered, from early morning to noon, he went to all the shops he could, but the result was all the same, they would always have such and such excuses, in short, there was no rice shop willing to sell grain to themselves, and even some of the grain sellers in the store did not look at themselves at all, and the old man just now was quite kind.
When I returned to the Proton Mansion in despair, I saw that the door of the mansion was wide open, and there was a row of strong men standing in the courtyard, led by one of whom was saying something to Xia Ji with a sneer.
"Madam, our Hou Ye sincerely invited you to the banquet, as long as you nod, these things will be yours." Zhao Kang said with a smile, looking at Xia Ji's eyes as if he was looking at a piece of meat on the cutting board. The things he brought with him could not be refused, even if she didn't think about herself, she had to think about the people around her, and these foods, jewelry, and silk were enough to buy those who were hungry.
"Who are you!"
Yiren pushed aside the human wall, walked to his mother's side, turned his head to Zhao Kang and asked.
Zhao Kang respectfully arched his hand at Yiren, and said with a smile: "The housekeeper of the Julu Hou Mansion, Zhao Kang, has seen the son." ”
"Julu Hou?" The middle-aged man who always looked at his mother suddenly appeared in Yiren's mind, for this man, he was always full of vigilance against him, for such a high-ranking and powerful guy who was full of naked aggression, he wouldn't think he was so kind, and it was as simple as inviting his mother to have a meal!
"We ......"
"Let's go!"
Before Yiren's words were finished, Xia Ji suddenly interrupted: "Let people put away these gifts, order the kitchen to cook these things, and give them to the next people." As soon as the conversation changed, Xia Ji said to Zhao Kang: "In the evening, please ask the Hou Ye to send someone over, we still need to prepare." ”
"This is natural, as long as Madam agrees, we will naturally do other things." Zhao Kang had a smug smile on his face, but he couldn't help revealing the true thoughts in his heart, he originally thought that they would be able to be tough for a few more days, but he didn't expect that they would be hungry for a few more meals, so they compromised.
"Since this is the case, Zhao Kang will not bother more, and he will leave."
Waving his hand, he motioned for the people to put things down, and then arched his hand at Xia Ji, turned around and walked away.
After sending the servants around, Inhuman was reluctantly pulled into the house by Natsuhime.
"Mother, that giant deer marquis didn't have a good heart at all, we can't go!"
"Do you still need to say that?" Xia Ji turned around and sat on the couch, beckoned the stranger to his side and said, "What has happened recently must have been done by the Julu Marquis Mansion, and only he can make the grain merchants in the city dare not sell a grain of grain to us." Looking at Zhao Mu's face again, do you really think I don't know what he thinks! ”
Yiren opened his mouth wide in surprise, and asked after a while: "Mother, since you already know that he didn't have a good heart, then why do you want to go, we don't have any self-protection power in Handan, and if we really enter the Hou Mansion, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to come out." ”
"We have to go. Look at what has become of the house, do you want the hearts of the people in the house to be scattered? Besides, as long as we don't leave Handan, we will always have to live under Zhao Mu's power, and dragging it out is not a solution, it must be solved. ”
"Resolved?" Yiren scratched his head painfully, and said to himself: "It would be good if General Win was here, mother, you always said that when I was hostage in the Yue Clan, I didn't suffer anything at all, no matter what happened, there will always be General Win to solve it for us, but look at the one we brought this time, I died in the ditch for nothing......"
Win wide? Xia Ji seemed to have been drained of all her strength, leaning softly to the side, this iron-blooded soldier who sheltered himself from the wind and rain in the Yueshi was afraid that he was no longer there.
Time did not stop because of personal preference, and at night, a luxurious carriage stopped in front of the Proton Mansion, and two columns of armored guards cleared the streets on both sides early. The door of the mansion opened, and Xia Ji changed into a strong makeup and dressed up, and the Inhuman behind her followed in a suit of light armor. Next to the carriage, Zhao Kang was waiting on the side with a smile on his face, and when he saw Xia Ji coming out, he hurriedly put down the carriage stool, and Xia Ji picked up the shelf of a princess, ignored Zhao Kang, and strolled into the carriage by himself.
Yiren turned over and got on the horse, guarding the side of the carriage, Zhao Kang straightened up and waved his hand at the convoy, the two rows of guards quickly retracted, and the convoy slowly drove towards the Julu Marquis Mansion.
At night, the Juluhou Mansion looks more luxurious than during the day, rows of bright candles illuminate the entire mansion with golden brilliance, scantily clad dancing girls are dancing in the hall, and on both sides of the dance floor, there are several cases, and behind them are some dignitaries of Zhao State, and in a position closest to the door, Lü Buwei sits there quietly sipping the wine in the cup, and opposite him is empty, it is obvious that the owner of the seat has not yet arrived.
"Have you heard, the princess of the Qin Kingdom is also coming today!"
"It's not that Princess Qin is very high-minded, and she has always been unapologetic to Lord Hou, why did she suddenly change her attitude today!"
"Needless to say, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, in our Zhao Kingdom, how many people can go against Hou Ye?"
"Silence! Silence! It looks like someone is coming! ”
The singing and dancing in the field suddenly stopped, and Xia Ji appeared at the door like a proud swan, with a beautiful face and gorgeous costumes, which overshadowed countless beautiful women in the field.
Zhao Mu smiled and clapped his hands, stood up to welcome Xia Ji's arrival, and the guard at the door bowed and led Xia Ji to the second seat next to Zhao Mu. Inhuman was just about to follow, but he saw another guard at the door say with a cold face, "Lord Proton, where is your location!" (To be continued.) )
