Chapter Eighty-Four: The Feast of the Hung Gate (Part II)
The guests accompanied both sides, followed by Gongsun Yi and Kong Rong, who were walking in the forefront, and Gongsun Yi noticed that the surrounding armor soldiers were neat and full of murderous aura, only the sergeants who had experienced war and fought and crawled from the pile of dead people would have this kind of murderous aura, it seemed that Kong Rong really had bad intentions.
Soon Gongsun Yi and his entourage were blocked, the officers who were originally guarding the banquet hall did not allow the guards and Tai Shici with swords to enter the hall, Gongsun Yi sneered, while Kong Rong stepped forward to look at the officer and said coldly: "I really don't understand the rules, this is Lord Gongsun's guard." ”
As he spoke, he nodded to the guards behind him, and these guards guarding Kong Rong untied their blades one after another and handed them to the officers guarding the hall, meaning that no matter who they were, they couldn't bring their blades to the hall when they entered the hall.
Gongsun Yi didn't say much, but the guard of the Xiao cavalry army next to him said in a deep voice: "Weapons are life, and putting down weapons on the battlefield also means death. ”
"Lord Gongsun, how should this be?" Kong Rong looked at Gongsun Yi and asked, just hoping that Gongsun Yi would send a message to ask these soldiers to hand over their blades.
"Since Master Kong doesn't even want to put a few of my soldiers in, it seems that there is no sincerity in the banquet, in that case, the general will go back." Turning to the guards, he said, "Go!" ”
The surrounding Beihai City army suddenly surrounded them, and several Xiao cavalry guards drew their swords to block the front, and they were tense for a while, and they could make a move at any time.
"Don't give me back yet!" Kong Rong scolded angrily, and then turned to Gongsun Yi and saluted: "It's because the official is not thoughtful, you don't have to put down your sword when you enter the banquet, Lord Gongsun, please." ”
Kong Rong saw that Gongsun Yi was leaving, and he was anxious for a while, but what was even more annoying was that these soldiers suddenly surrounded him without an order, making Kong Rong a little unable to get off the stage.
Kong Rong arranged a lot of good men in the army, holding knives and axes and waiting in the banquet hall for a long time, but there were only a few people, if the swords were facing each other and they were not instantly cut into meat sauce, what if they brought knives into the club? Anyway, Gongsun Yi can't be allowed to take the opportunity to leave.
A brief turmoil ended quickly with Kong Rong giving in, and everyone came all the way to the luxurious meeting room, the degree of luxury in the living room, even Gongsun Yi, who had seen the palace, was slightly stunned.
Elaborately decorated beautiful pattern screen, in which the animals and plants faintly shine and live like living things, the faintly shining crystal jade is the lamp, the transparent and round pearl is the curtain, the precious fan gold is the pillar base, the floor is paved with bright marble, the gold beads are inlaid inside, and the ground is the lotus-shaped pattern, and the extravagance is extremely prosperous.
Gongsun Yi frowned, he had heard that Beihai Country was rich and Kong Rong loved extravagance, and today he saw that it was unexpected, if Kong Rong continued to control Beihai Kingdom, it was difficult to imagine that Qingzhou could develop as soon as possible, since one day they would meet each other for their own interests, it was better to take this opportunity to get rid of Kong Rong, even if it was worth it to bear the infamy in the future.
Kong Rong and Gongsun Yi came to the hall with their own ghosts, and everyone sat down as the guest of honor, only Gongsun Yi stood in place for a long time and did not sit down, it turned out that Kong Rong deliberately arranged Gongsun Yi's seat in the last seat, and some people loyal to Kong Rong chuckled to see the excitement and watch how Gongsun Yi responded.
If you sit down, you admit Kong Rong's status, and you also think that you are inferior, if you don't sit, you will tear your face on the spot, and it will also give Kong Rong the opportunity to make trouble, whether you sit down or not, it is inappropriate, Kong Rong is afraid of long nights and dreams, and repeatedly plays with the wine glass in his hand and waits for the opportunity.
Seeing that the lord was humiliated, a group of guards were furious with their blades in their hands, and when they drew their swords, they were suddenly stopped by Gongsun Yi, who looked at Kong Rong and chuckled: "This general is a guest from afar, and the seating arrangement will naturally not say much, but it is really a little sleepy to ride a horse all the way, please don't blame Lord Kong." ”
Gongsun Yi smiled heartily, stepped forward and put the cotton futon in the aisle in front of the gate, Taishi Ci comprehended, stepped forward to pick up the banquet table that was placed, and put it in front of Gongsun Yi, who was sitting on the ground, and confronted Kong Rongyao, so that there was no distinction between primary and secondary, and Kong Rong, the lord of the Beihai Kingdom, was on an equal footing.
Kong Rong gritted his teeth, but still put down the wine glass, Gongsun Yi did not tear his face, if Gongsun Yi was captured at this time, I am afraid that the original accumulation of people's hearts will be lost immediately, although Kong Rong looks down on a group of generals and inferior businessmen, but also understands that to maintain the current Beihai Kingdom, the support of these people is indispensable.
Kong Rong changed a friendly smile and said: "Misunderstanding, it's all those subordinates who don't understand the rules, and after the banquet, the official will definitely be punished, and the hussar general will be invited to take a seat." ”
"No, it's good to sit comfortably here, Master Kong doesn't have to care." Gongsun Yi said with a chuckle, how can there be a reason to change seats now that he is on an equal footing with Kong Rong, not to mention that if he is seated, he will not still sit under Kong Rong, how can Gongsun Yi be fooled by this means.
Kong Rong couldn't help it, so he could only let it go, nodded slightly to the attendants on the side, and soon a group of maids stepped forward with well-made dishes, respectfully placed them in front of the guests, bowed and poured wine, and respectfully invited the guests to drink.
Although they did not stand on the side of Gongsun Yi, they hoped to strengthen business cooperation, and did not want Gongsun Yi and Kong Rong to fight each other, and many businessmen present cast goodwill glances at Gongsun Yi.
The maid toasted to Gongsun Yi, and suddenly the soldier behind him took the first step and drank the glass of wine, Gongsun Yi didn't say much, the maid was stunned and filled another glass, the soldier also stepped forward and drank it all, Gongsun Yi sighed in his heart, in fact, this was not his order, but these guard sergeants were worried that the wine was poisonous, so they tried the poison.
Jia Zhong, who was sitting at the head of the crowd, was also the exhortator of the banquet plan and the messenger who invited Gongsun Yi to come, since he came to his own territory, he was obviously a little comfortable.
Raised his glass and drank again and again, showing off his exploits to the people around him from time to time, and raising his glass to Gongsun Yi from time to time, who knew that Gongsun Yi ignored it, but had a lot of conversations with the businessman Jia who was sitting on the side, Jia Zhong was furious, and got up with drunken anger and said: "Gongsun Yi, how dare you be so contemptuous!" ”
"Mr. Jia's words are serious, but General Ben has a rule, he has always been contemptuous of wine bags and rice bags, I don't know if Mr. Jia is like this?"
"Gongsun Yi, you are so bold, do you know that you are already under siege!" Jia Zhong, whose face was flushed, looked at Kong Rong and shouted, "Master Kong still hasn't done it yet, when will you wait?" ”
Everyone present looked at Jia Zhong like a fool, many people whispered, asked each other what Jia Zhong wanted, and some looked at Kong Rong with lively thoughts, and the atmosphere in the entire hall was solemn for a while.
"Master Jia drank too much, and someone came to take him down." Kong Rong said in a cold tone.
As soon as Kong Rong's words fell, several attendants forcibly dragged out Jia Zhong, who kept shouting, and just dragged out away from everyone's sight, a group of attendants suddenly put the cloth bag on their heads, pulled it to the side of the rockery, and immediately punched and kicked.
Jia Zhong is usually vicious, and he usually offends many people, but he doesn't dare to say much because of his identity, at this time, since he was dragged out by Kong Rong's order, he must have lost his position, how can he be polite, naturally there is revenge and resentment and complaints.
In the banquet hall, Kong Rong said with a smile on his face: "Lord Gongsun Haihan, this person's wine is extremely poor, and he is famous in Beihai Country, so he smiled." ”
"It's okay, but Lord Kong invited General Ben, I'm afraid it's not to taste these delicacies, if you have anything to say, please tell me bluntly."
"Since Lord Gongsun mentioned it, this official will get straight to the point." Kong Rong groaned slightly and then said loudly: "Lord Gongsun's official residence hussar general, who saved His Majesty Yu Bishan at the beginning, and attacked the traitor Dong Zhuo three times to praise the world, and now the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Thieves are in full swing, but the temple here in Qingzhou is too small to accommodate the great god of Gongsun, and please retreat quickly and withdraw from Qingzhou, which can ensure the peace of the world." ”
"The world is peaceful? If General Ben understands well, Lord Kong Rong seems to want to lead Qingzhou, is it to ask General Ben to give up the territory he occupies, and let more than 100,000 people who have been incorporated into the military camp let Master Kong, does Lord Kong still intend to rescue His Majesty who is far away in Chang'an in the future, yes or no? ”
Gongsun Yi sneered again and again, knowing Kong Rong's temperament, he naturally knew his arrogance and lofty character, but even Gongsun Yi didn't expect that Kong Rong would be so shameless.
"Lord Gongsun's eyes are like torches, the world is big, with the strong army of Lord Gongsun, where can't you go? Why do you want to seize a place in Qingzhou, such as the invasion of the enemy, the disaster of the country and the people, causing the people of Qingzhou to change their minds, the original stability is burned, and now thieves and thieves are rampant, all of which are the fault of the cavalry! Kong Rong's thoughts have been seen through, so naturally there is nothing to hide, but his tone quickly changed and he reprimanded angrily.
"Hahaha" Gongsun Yi suddenly laughed, and the whole hall reverberated with Gongsun Yi's hearty laughter, and the guests looked at each other, really not understanding why Gongsun Yi was laughing.
"Gongsun Yi, why are you laughing?" Kong Rong asked angrily.
Gongsun Yi sneered and responded: "Since the world is so big, since you can go anywhere, why can't Qingzhou come, I really don't dare to agree with the statement that Lord Kong preempted it, the whole world is not the king's land, Qingzhou is the land of the imperial court, not the territory of Lord Kong, our army entered Qingzhou Qiu without committing any crimes, actively cracking down on bandits, what is the fault of helping the people?" ”
Gongsun Yi picked up the wine glass, got up and looked around and said loudly: "As for the source of people's mental changes, I should ask Master Kong, how many people's fat and ointment have been looted to build such a luxurious reception hall?" The so-called stability was to give money and food to the Yellow Turban thieves in Qingzhou to fund their growth? I'm afraid who has been who has been who has already been decided! ”
There was a crisp bang, Gongsun Yi's voice just fell, and suddenly threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground, and the wine splashed in all directions, and suddenly dozens of armor soldiers wearing armor and holding knives and axes rushed into the hall from the back hall, and the leader looked at Gongsun Yi coldly, just waiting for an order to rush forward.
Gongsun Yi stared at Kong Rong and laughed: "Kong Wenju, what a Hongmen banquet!" ”
