As night fell, the wind and snow became heavier and heavier, and the bitter north wind swept through the sky with a howling whistle, and it was so hateful that it tore the whole world apart. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this time, outside the gate of the official hall of Zhenjiang City, it was brightly lit.

Piles of red bonfires were burning, dispelling the chill of most of the night, and more than 100 gentry and wealthy families in Zhenjiang City had been waiting outside the door for a long time, waiting for the news of recruiting them inside.

These gentry and wealthy families are not fools.

Li Yuanqing used the eight-faced delicate Cao Erniang to inform them of the news of the banquet in the evening, to a large extent, it had already shown the sincerity of the Ming army, otherwise, it would not be Cao Erniang's servants who notified them, but heavily armed soldiers.

"Lao Wang, I really can't think of it. The Ming army was able to reconquer Zhenjiang City. And it only took one night. This~, this Li Yuanqing, is really a character. ”

In the corner of the crowd, a thin white-haired old man whispered to a short and fat middle-aged man beside him.

The fat old man's face was very white, and he always had a smile like Maitreya Buddha, and when he heard the thin old man's words, he hurriedly glanced around and found that no one was paying attention to them, so he lowered his voice and said almost like a mosquito: "Brother Qi, be cautious." The Tartars are powerful, whether the Ming army can hold Zhenjiang, whether they want to hold it or not, we don't know. ”

The thin old man Lao Qi nodded thoughtfully, "Lao Wang, I'm also worried about this." I heard that Mao Wenlong is also here. ”

The fat old king suddenly sneered, "Hmph." The surname Mao is just a deception and a thief. He has already tricked our Zhenjiang people once, and he wants to trap us again? ”

Lao Qi shook his head slightly, "Lao Wang, you can't say that." At the beginning, Mao Wenlong also had a hard time. Ay. It's all the sin of these dogs. ”

Lao Wang nodded, but did not answer again.

Lao Qi knew that Lao Wang still had a deep connection with Mao Wenlong, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Lao Wang, you said, Mao Wenlong and Li Yuanqing invited us over this time, what are An's thoughts?" ”

Lao Wang thought for a moment, and suddenly sneered, "What else can you think?" The wool comes out of the sheep. It's no wonder that we have to do our best. Perhaps, this Li Yuanqing, young and vigorous, is more ruthless than Mao Wenlong. ”

Lao Qi was just about to speak, but at this time, the door of the official hall was opened, and a middle-aged eunuch wearing a red eunuch robe, with a smile on his face, greeted him with a smile under the escort of dozens of tall personal soldiers, "Oops." It's all Wei who didn't think well and neglected the distinguished guests. I also hope that all of you will be outside, and the old man Haihan will be one. Someone's coming. Please, please come in, and drink a cup of hot tea to warm up. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, please!"

The soldiers hurriedly divided their servants to the left and right, straightened up, and respectfully welcomed these gentry into the official hall.

The eyes of these gentry present are all bright.

Looking at the official robe on Wei Liang's body, they all realized that today's specifications are a bit terrifying. The big eunuchs and the prison army actually came out to greet them......

Is this going to be a knife in their necks?

Someone in front of him hurriedly laughed and said: "Father-in-law, you, you really torture us and other grass people." Father-in-law, please first. ”

Wei Liang hurriedly smiled and said: "All the members and masters are nobles, and they can give me Wei face, and Wei is happy in his heart." Outside the staff, the old man is invited first. ”

Wei Liang has already made a sufficient gesture, how can these gentry in front of him parry?

Soon, someone couldn't resist Wei Liang's might and began to enter.

Not far behind, Lao Qi lowered his voice and said: "This old eunuch's surname is Wei, is it difficult, he is ......"

Lao Wang was also surprised, he had heard that there was a prison soldier surnamed Wei on Changsheng Island before, but he didn't know the details, at this time, this Wei Gonggong actually came to greet them in person, this ......

After a while, Lao Wang hurriedly said: "Lao Qi, something is wrong with this today. We have to be more careful. ”

Lao Qi nodded hurriedly, "That's right." We should work together. ”

…………

In the official hall, more than a dozen tables of grand banquets have been set up.

Zhenjiang City is the core territory of Houjin, and to a large extent, the old slave is also painstakingly managed Zhenjiang.

But Li Yuanqing's sudden breakdown of the city, Dai Shan and Amin were defenseless and retreated in a hurry, which also made a large number of materials and goods in Zhenjiang City fall into the hands of the Ming army in vain.

The abundant materials made Mao Wenlong and Li Yuanqing have a strong confidence in their hearts, and there were more than 20 dishes on each table of the banquet, flying in the sky, climbing on the ground, and swimming in the water, with everything and extremely high specifications.

Li Yuanqing is not too familiar with these gentry, mainly because when he was in Zhenjiang City, his status was not enough.

But Mao Wenlong had many acquaintances, and soon greeted everyone.

In addition, with Wei Liang, Zhang Qiliang and Ma Gonggong helping, the atmosphere in the hall was a lot more lively all of a sudden.

Zhang Qiliang and Ma Gonggong personally commanded everyone to sit down, while Wei Liang and Mao Wenlong stood in the middle and greeted everyone.

Looking at Wei Liang, who was high-spirited in the middle, a touch of unspeakable sadness flashed in Ma Gonggong's eyes.

Once upon a time, Wei Liang was not even as good as a dog in front of him, and he didn't even bother to look at Wei Liang.

But at this time, Wei Liang's gang 'flanked' Li Yuanqing, although his level was not as high as him for the time being, but he had faintly become the number one supervisor in Liaodi.

'What the fuck! People are more infuriating than people. Ma Gonggong smacked hard in his heart.

But the situation is stronger than people.

This time, Li Yuanqing conquered Zhenjiang on his own, presumably, Wei Liang, an old dog, is going to a higher level.

Even if Ma Gonggong is unhappy, he is powerless to change reality.

Li Yuanqing is already in full swing, and even faintly overpowering Mao Wenlong, he can only think of a way to get mixed with Li Yuanqing and get some soup to drink, so that he will not go hungry.

"Master Ma, these masters here, you can arrange it."

At this time, when he suddenly heard Wei Liang's call, Ma Gonggong didn't dare to think about it anymore, hurriedly cleaned up his mind, and said with a smile: "Okay." The miscellaneous family will come over immediately. "Busy to busy.

With the three of them and Mao Wenlong in charge, there is nothing to do without Li Yuanqing.

In a somewhat dark corner on the side, Li Yuanqing was sitting on a soft couch, holding a glass of wine, and slowly sipping it.

Next to him, Chen Zhong was bored and played with the wine glass in his hand and glanced at everyone in the hall.

After a moment, he said in a low voice: "Yuanqing, I don't think these people are so easy to get along with." If we don't kill a group of chickens and monkeys, I'm afraid, it will be difficult for them to follow us. ”

Li Yuanqing slowly took a sip of wine, but slowly shook his head, "Big brother, they are all sons of the Han family, if you can live one person, then you are one person." In this matter, let's not be in a hurry, let's take a look. ”

Although Chen Zhong didn't understand what Li Yuanqing meant, at this time, he naturally didn't want to ask too much, so he was strong and patient, and slowly tasted the wine in the cup.

In this banquet, Mao Wenlong and Li Yuanqing basically received them with the highest standard.

In addition to Mao Wenlong and Li Yuanqing, there was only one military general, Chen Zhong and Zhang Pan, who were not allowed to participate.

The gentry soon discovered the situation, and for a moment there was a whisper of discussion.

At this time, the seats in the venue had almost been arranged, and Mao Wenlong was also seated at the main table, Wei Liang got up and said with a smile: "Everyone, everyone." Today is the first day that my elite sons and daughters of the Ming Dynasty have entered the city, and they should not disturb your leisure. But as you know, the Golden Tartars are rampant and inhumane at the moment, and we must be fully prepared to deal with ......."

Listening to Wei Liang's 'chatter', Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile a little.

An old eunuch who was in the house on weekdays, at this time, was also radiant and behaved decently, and even better than Li Yuanqing thought.

Sure enough, as the old saying goes, 'the ass decides the head.'"

However, the better Wei Liang's performance is, the more Li Yuanqing will be saved.

At this time, Li Yuanqing glanced at Chen Zhong, stood up with a smile, and walked towards the crowd in front of him.

Chen Zhong understood himself, hurriedly stood up, and quickly followed behind Li Yuanqing.

"Fellow villagers, all fathers and elders, Yuanqing is busy with military affairs, and I am a moment late, please also invite your fathers and fellow villagers Haihanna! Yuan Qing should be punished with three glasses of wine and make amends to the fathers and villagers. ”

Saying that, Li Yuanqing smiled, "Bring the wine!" ”

"Yes!"

After a while, Niu Gensheng personally carried the tray and walked quickly to Li Yuanqing's side.

Li Yuanqing smiled and filled the three wine glasses in turn, drank them one by one, and looked at everyone in the hall with a smile.

At this time, everyone still didn't understand that the tall chief officer in front of them was Li Yuanqing, who was famous and already majestic in the world.

Everyone hurriedly got up one after another, "Li Junmen is arrogant. ”

"Li Junmen is mighty! It is worthy of my hero! ”

"Li Junmen ......"

Seeing the continuous sound of sycophants in the crowd, Li Yuanqing smiled slightly and waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

Although Li Yuanqing seemed to be just a simple action, everyone present seemed to be able to clearly feel his strength, and they were silent for a while, and the entire hall instantly fell silent.

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "Dashuai and I, to Zhenjiang's father, are not considered to be people!" On the first year of the Apocalypse, Dashuai and I were really sad for a long time. Fortunately, today, the elite of my Daming is back! Tonight, I, Li Yuanqing, have nothing to say. Fathers and fellow villagers must eat and drink well! ”

As he spoke, Li Yuanqing bowed his hand and came to the main table and sat down.

Chen Zhong also 'drew a scoop according to the gourd', and came again according to Li Yuanqing's pattern just now.

The atmosphere in the hall instantly became more enthusiastic.

Mao Wenlong, Li Yuanqing, Chen Zhong, Wei Liang, Ma Gonggong, Zhang Qiliang, and several gentry in Zhenjiang City all sat down at the main table and drank and talked happily.

On the rest of the tables, the cups also began to be changed, and the hall was lively for a while.

At a table near the corner, Lao Qi and Lao Wang were still sitting at the same table.

Taking a free time, Lao Qi hurriedly whispered: "Lao Wang, you say, what kind of trick did Li Yuanqing and Mao Wenlong play?" Could it be that they really just invited us to drink tonight and apologize to us? ”

Lao Wang took a sip of wine and suddenly sneered, "Apologize? How can the blood feud of the people of Zhenjiang be resolved with a word of apology? Hum. Let's not be in a hurry, just wait and see! ”

Lao Qi nodded slowly and focused his gaze in the direction of the main table.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

At the main table, Dahai, the director of the Zhenjiang Ren family, stood up with a smile, and respectfully smiled at Mao Wenlong and Li Yuanqing on the table: "Several supervisors of the army, Mao Junmen, Li Junmen, General Chen, before coming, the old man discussed with all the gentry in the city, and he is willing to do his part for my Ming Wangshi." ”

As he spoke, he looked at everyone with a smile, his eyes focused on Mao Wenlong's face, and in the end, it fell on Li Yuanqing, and said with a smile: "I am waiting for the soldiers and civilians of Zhenjiang to offer me 50,000 taels of silver, 1,000 stones of grain and grass, 100 fat pigs, 80 mules and horses, chickens, ducks, and 1,000 catties of dry goods." Please also ask Wang Shi to smile! ”

Ren Dahai's voice was not loud, but everyone around him was paying attention to the movements on the main table, and they heard everything clearly, and they all looked at the leaders of the Ming army on the main table.

No one is stupid.

This is obviously the 'Hongmen Banquet'.

There were all old oilmen present, and no one could be naïve enough to think that as soon as the Ming army entered the city, they would have the heart to invite them to dinner.
