Apology Statement:

I was confused for a while, and Tan Daoji appeared in the previous chapter. But Tan Daoji is on the southern line and is with Shen Tianzi. The one who saw Liu Yu in Tongguan should be Wang Zhenxi. I would like to apologize to all readers!

Liu Yu said that if he wants to hold a big banquet, then there will be a lot of people and a big place. It is easy to handle the number of people, and the officers above the deputy level of the team plus the staff, and then invite some local gentry who have made meritorious contributions to the food, there are two or three hundred people. But the size of the place is a problem. Tongguan is a military town, and I can't find a house that can accommodate more than 100 people to eat at the same time. The main book of the banquet was in a hurry to build a banquet to Wang Zhen, so he simply set up a banquet on the school grounds, anyway, it couldn't freeze in the summer, under the bright moon, the sky was wide, and the spirit was great. Wang Zhenwei said that this is what he will do.

The master bookkeeper called hundreds of soldiers, quickly cleared the thick soil on the school yard, and then sprinkled water until people stepped on it and no more dust. His original intention was to spread another layer of cloth on it, but later remembered that Liu Yu was thrifty and trampled on the ground to make clothes for others, which not only did not please him, but also angered him.

At the east end of the school field, there are three rows of kitchen tables, one row for pastries, one row for meat and vegetarian hot dishes, and one row for cold dishes. Twenty fattened marching earthen stoves were blazing, and steam came out of a large iron pot covered with wooden lids, carrying the aroma of stewed meat and soup stock. The chefs from Tongguan and neighboring towns sweated like rain, chopping vegetables, stabbing and stabbing in the pot, stir-frying in a cauldron that they rarely saw from a distance.

In the center of the school field, two hundred tables are arranged in ten rows, the front row is a single seat, which is the seat of the military lord and the military deputy, and the back is a table for two people, all of whom face the north.

By the time the twilight was dull and there was a glimmer of red clouds left in the west, except for Liu Yu, everyone else had already arrived. Huge torches lit around the school grounds, illuminating the open-air ballroom as if it were daytime.

At the entrance of the school grounds, there is a group of carefully selected young soldiers, all of them white and clean, who are responsible for leading guests to their seats. When Xiao Qiao came in, she wanted to sneak to the back and sit, but Xiao Bing obviously knew who she was and led her to the front row.

Xiao Qiao wore a white group bought on the road, and there was no decoration except for a circle of pink embroidered trim on the neckline, placket and cuffs. Judging from the pink belt, it looks like a man can wrap his arms around her waist tightly. Her hair was split into two strands, one in a bun at the top and the other draped at the back of her head, and the light on her jet-black hair danced in the light of the torches. The face is painted with light makeup, except for pink and white, there is no color to dominate, which sets off the sparkling eyes even more.

The soldier who guided him seemed to have forgotten how to walk.

Where she passed, there was silence.

The generals in the first two rows were chatting, and suddenly saw Xiao Qiao walking over. Their mouths are still there, but they can only be kept open.

Xiao Qiao's cheeks were red from this group of attention, and the whole person looked like peach blossoms and pear blossoms walking together, both fluttering in the woods that had lost their leaves.

The generals wore only their robes to the banquet, but their robes were covered with wine, sweat, blood, and all kinds of spots of unknown origin, and everyone could not help but feel ashamed of themselves in the moment when the white and light powder floated by.

She didn't expect to be taken to the front row, and her thoughts were a little confused for a while, and when she calmed down, she saw a tall young officer standing up in a panic, leaning over to her, and letting her sit next to him.

Guo Xu.

He lifted the hem of his robe and wiped the bed next to him a few times:

"Miss Sun, please!"

Sit down gracefully:

"Team Master Guo has worked hard."

In this way, Guo Xu has heard others say it countless times, but this time, when he spit it out between his lips and teeth, he felt that a warm spring washed his lungs, and the whole person was refreshed.

At this moment, the people around him were relieved. Men of various military ranks and classes, seeing the generals of the whole army, only Guo Xuyan is not shallow, and there are beautiful women within an arm's length, and they can't help but be jealous. The people in the front row knew that this was Liu Yu's arrangement, but this did not prevent them from tearing Guo Xu apart in their hearts and sitting next to Xiao Qiao. Most of the people in the back row didn't understand the origin of this uninvited guest, but they hated sitting too far away and didn't have the chance to smell a touch of fat powder on the girl's body. All kinds of subtle thoughts converged into whispers and complaints, and everyone felt that the flowers were inserted in Guo Xu's cow dung, but he was not talented, and he had no chance to stand side by side with the beauty.

After Guo Xu finished saying the girl please, he didn't know what to say anymore. He used to be strong, masculine, and didn't sweat much, but now he sweated layer by layer. Of course, it was summer, but there was no sweat like this in the daytime. He sat stiffly for a long time, thinking about what to say, searched for a long time, and said:

"It was the Captain who arranged for you to sit next to me."

In fact, he doesn't need to say it, Xiaoqiao also knows. She glanced at Guo Xu sideways, and saw a large drop of sweat seeping out of his face, the water flowed downward, gurgling down her chin, knowing that he was nervous, she couldn't help snickering in her heart. Nor did he look at him, and whispered:

"So Captain Guo himself is reluctant? Sitting with the girls of the grass people's family, is it very embarrassing to be the leader of the team? ”

Guo Xu suddenly messed up, twisted for a while, and was about to say something, when he heard the emcee announce:

"Captain has arrived!"

Suddenly, the drums rang out, and everyone stood up one after another, watching Liu Yu come in with a smile on his face, and frequently waved to everyone. Beside him, followed by a teenager. In the cheers of the people, Liu Yu hurriedly stepped onto the stage, and the young man was about to follow, but was stopped by Liu Yu's gesture. Liu Yu glanced at the big table on the stage, frowned slightly, and then walked to the front of the stage:

"Brothers, fathers and elders, although Liu Yuzu is a member of the Han family, but in my generation, he is already a broken household, although today the official worships the Taiwei, but he is still a peasant in his bones. I'm not used to eating at a big table alone, and I don't like to eat on the ground like this. Come on, remove this table, I'm going to go down the stage and eat with everyone! ”

No one dared to move.

Although Liu Yu himself said so, he is the most powerful person in the Great Jin Dynasty today, and he is an emperor who is not called an emperor. Removing his seat from the stage and letting him "step down" is almost a great rebellion.

Liu Yu saw that no one responded, and instantly understood. His brain was like electricity, and he immediately had a new idea:

"You can do it without moving the table! But someone has to eat with me. I'll take the roll call, and everyone who ordered it will come up and eat with me, do you have anything to say? ”

After a slight silence, the audience raised their hands and applauded.

Liu Yu walked around the table.

"The first one, please ask General Wang Zhenwei to come to power. General Wang is not only a good hand in the war, leading the army to defeat Tongguan, but also won the support of the people. Please, General Wang! ”

Wang Zhenwei stood up with a smile, hugged his fists around, and ascended to the podium amid the cheers of the audience, standing behind Liu Yu.

"The second, General Shen Linzi. General Shen also had to represent General Shen Tianzi, who was fighting on the southern front, Tianzi broke the Wuguan Pass, took the Yaoguan, and defeated the tens of thousands of troops under Yao Hong's personal command. Lin Zi held on, Tongguan was not lost, and repeatedly defeated Yao Shao, a famous general of Yao Qin, to keep the grain road. General Shen, please. ”

The cheers sent Shen Linzi to the general's platform.

"Third, please invite Hongnong's father to elect a representative to come up. Hongnong is the heart of the Central Plains in the end, and the people's hearts are towards the Jin Dynasty and help the officials and troops to recover the lost territory. General Wang Zhenwei has promised you no taxes for three years, and I agree with this one hundred times. I have already appeared in the imperial court, and the emperor is about to issue an edict, which will take effect from next year! ”

The Hongnong gentry present left the table and knelt down, and the mountain shouted long live. In the morning, a blind man was carried up. Wang Zhenwei whispered a few words to Liu Yu, Liu Yu nodded, greeted the entrance of the platform, took this person's hand, and pulled him to the center of the stage:

"This is Li Fang, the predecessor of Hongnong. Li Lao's predecessors have two great achievements, the first is to assist the officers and soldiers to raise food, and the second is to take in and raise the exiled general Wang Zhenwei, who preserved the blood and blood for Wang Meng and the prime minister, and also for the Great Jin Dynasty to protect the talents. ”

After Liu Yu and Wang Zhenwei helped Li Fang to sit down on the left and right, Liu Yu turned around:

"Fourth, I'm going to hire a rising star. Please hussar leader Guo Xu. The army annihilated Xianbei on the Yellow River with a painful moon battle, and Guo's idea was indispensable. A few days ago, he attacked and killed Yao Qia, making Yao Shao's heart die. Please Guo team leader. ”

Guo Xu stood up at a loss. He didn't expect Liu Yu to be like this. Wang Zhenwei and Shen Linzi are both generals, he is the leader of the team, he just relies on fighting and making meritorious contributions, and he actually wants to eat at the same table with them! Another thought flashed through in an instant: if you go up to eat, you can't stay by Sun Qiao's side.

Liu Yu saw Guo Xu standing there stupidly, and shouted with a smile:

"What? Team Leader Guo sat next to the girl for a while, and his legs were weak, and he couldn't climb the platform? ”

In the midst of everyone's laughter, Guo Xu went on stage with a red face.

Next, Liu Yu ordered a soldier who had won the most Qin army heads in the forward army to come to the stage, so that there were generals, soldiers, and people, and the table was complete. Xiaoqiao watched the whole process in the audience, and couldn't help but admire Liu Yu's work without leakage, this roll call took the hearts of the audience into the bag, the wine has not been drunk, and the officials and people are already drunk.

After these people were seated, Liu Yu beckoned the young man in the audience to come up.

"Everyone, this is the dog Liu Yizhen, 13 years old this year, and he is still very unsuccessful. But I didn't want him to be clothed and fed in Jiangdong, so I asked someone to send him and let him follow the seniors in the army to have a good experience. Yizhen, I've seen all the seniors! ”

Liu Yizhen walked to the front of the stage and gave a deep salute to the audience:

"Seniors, fathers and elders, Yizhen is young and ignorant, but he is eager to serve the country and is willing to endure hardships, please give an uncle and brother advice and take care of him!"

Although the voice was immature, it was chic and generous, and the audience resounded with admiration.

Liu Yu pointed to the case of Xiaoqiao in the audience:

"You can't eat on stage. If you see that sister, you go and sit next to her! ”

Guo Xu on the stage, Xiao Qiao off the stage, his mind is sinking.

Although Guo Xu knew that Liu Yizhen was only a half-grown child, but seeing his naturally noble demeanor, which matched Xiaoqiao's beauty and elegance, he thought that he was just a blacksmith who sold coolies, and he actually had a sour feeling. Then I thought it was funny, and I even had to eat a little boy's vinegar. Distraught, I don't know where I am or where I am.

Liu Yizhen sat down and smiled at Xiaoqiao. This is a handsome boy, probably like his mother, so he looks ten times better than Liu Yu, but his eyes inherit Liu Yu as if he were fake, with a sharp light. After Xiao Qiao smiled in return, she held back her tears and didn't dare to look up again. She thought of her five or six half-brothers and brothers. Although she did not arrive at the execution ground, her whole body could not help but tremble when she thought of those small corpses with their heads separated. The same father, Liu Yu's son now sits beside her; And the father's son, however, is haunted by ghosts. She was right next to the enemy's son, but she couldn't show even the slightest hostility. What's more, she found that she couldn't hate this child. Liu Yizhen seemed to notice that something was wrong, reached out and touched her arm, and asked softly:

"Sister, are you feeling unwell?"

Xiao Qiao didn't dare to look up and waved her hand. Liu Yizhen still wanted to ask, but at this time, the master of ceremonies announced loudly:

"Playing music! Passing the dishes! ”

In the blink of an eye, two hundred tables were filled with delicious food. Although Liu Yu is a high-ranking official, he has always eaten very simply, and the children can't actually eat any delicacies at home, plus the taste of Jiangdong food is different from that of Guanzhong, and open-air collective dining will also increase people's appetite, so in the face of this table full of fragrant food, Liu Yizhen was shocked: complete braised elbow, white water lamb ribs with pepper, salt and garlic slices, local chicken soup with golden oil flowers, cured beef cut into thin strips, Yellow River carp steamed with tempeh ginger and green onions, fried lotus root box filled with meat filling, A large plate of fried cabbage with shredded pork, scrambled eggs with ground vegetables, white raw top flower buns, golden fried tofu with shallots, and raw red and bright radish, these dishes are surrounded by a pot, the soup stock in the pot is boiling, and the meatballs, pork belly, fungus, yellow flowers, ham, and hair cabbage are carefully spread layer by layer.

Xiaoqiao had quietly wiped away her tears, picked up a small bowl, and scooped a bowl of chicken soup for Liu Yizhen, and as soon as she put down the bowl, she saw that Liu Yizhen had already put a piece of carp cheek meat on her plate:

"Sister eats first."

Xiao Qiao was greatly moved, she didn't expect that Taiwei Liu Yu's child would be so considerate, and there was no such conceit as a noble child.

"My sister should have served you vegetables, are you hungry, what do you want to eat? My sister gives you a clip. ”

The two of them ate and chatted, and soon became as happy as sisters and brothers. Guo Xu could see this scene clearly on stage. He was envious, melancholy, cranky, and couldn't give up, the wine was not the smell of wine, the meat was not the smell of meat, and the dishes he picked up fell on the table halfway several times. Fortunately, the people on the stage talked very strongly, and no one noticed this ignorant nostalgic spring-bearer.

This night banquet lasted until late at night, and many people were already unconscious and fell asleep on the ground. Liu Yizhen followed Liu Yu away, and before leaving, he asked his father, can you let my sister live with us, Liu Yu's tongue was already a little stiff, but his mind was obviously very clear, and he said meaningfully Sister can accompany you, but she can't live with us. Then he called Guo Xu and said that you were going to send Miss Sun back.

After taking two steps, he turned back and stammered and said that what I said during the day still counts, and if you do that, I don't count you as a violator.

Xiao Qiao was like listening to a dumb riddle, and under the light of the torches, everyone blushed, so she didn't know that Guo Xu's face was so hot that she could make a pancake.

When Xiaoqiao arrived at the school field, she asked the soldiers who were driving the car to go back to rest, and the soldiers themselves were drinking, so at this moment the coachman was already upside down somewhere. Guo Xu helped Xiaoqiao onto the horse and walked slowly with the reins by himself.

He had a lot to say to Xiao Qiao, and he also wanted to listen to her soft voice, but at this moment, in the moonlight, the horses' hooves were tuked, the insects were chirping, and the warm seal was blowing on his face, he didn't know what to say.

That's pretty good, he thought. I'm just hoping that the road will be a little longer. Thinking like this, I walked very slowly. His jujube red horse seemed to know his master's thoughts, and he also took slow steps.

Xiao Qiao didn't want to talk either. He looked at Guo Xu's shadow in the moonlight, and gave birth to a sense of security that he had not felt for a long time.

It's still a big boy.

He can't even see the girl's little cleverness, stupid.

He hasn't turned into a filthy man yet.

He let the woman ride the horse and walk on her own.

If he falls in love with anyone, he will definitely hold her in his heart.

He seemed to be really in love with me.

If I keep rejecting him, won't he be very sad.

Does it matter? I don't love him anyway.

Should I sue him for all of my qiē?

Then he will understand why he can't love him.

If you don't love him, why care about his feelings.

But he was a kind big boy, and it was too cruel to hurt him.

How can it ripen without harm.

It's not cute when it's mature.

The moon rises in Tongguan, on the streets of Tongguan, a man and a woman, one is so simple that he is stupid, the other is worried and hesitant, each has his own thoughts, but there is not a word to show to the other party. Who has no sorrow in youth, the most beautiful sorrow is always related to love.

Xiao Qiao lived in a small courtyard behind the barracks of the Bai Zhi team, which was originally the house of a general concubine of Yao Qin, they ran away, the house was vacant, Ding Yi settled Xiao Qiao to live, and found two little girls from the local area to take care of it, and a forbidden flag was planted outside the courtyard, and the whole army stopped when they saw the flag, and no one dared to harass them.

Xiao Qiao wanted to dismount by herself, but forgot that the red horse was very tall, and she still had one foot in the stirrup, but the other foot could not reach the ground. Guo Xu hurriedly stepped forward, and Xiaoqiao said in a panic Don't touch me. Guo Xu suddenly shrank back as if he had been stung by a scorpion, and at this moment, Xiao Qiao had already fallen off the horse. Guo Xu moved very fast, rubbed his body and stepped forward, just hugged Xiaoqiao in his arms, and put it on the ground. Xiao Qiao snorted angrily and said that people are going to fall, and if you don't come to help, you know that you are watching from the side.

Then he reached out and tidied up his clothes, combed his hair, and bowed slightly:

"Thank you Team Leader Guo for your horse, it's not too early, Team Leader go back and rest."

Guo Xu watched the little girl enter the yard and stayed for a while before getting on the horse. He didn't understand, Xiaoqiao didn't want him to touch it, but he blamed him for not reaching out to help, whether he wanted to touch it or not. And when it comes, it is also to thank his horse, not to thank him.

No sleepiness.

The mind is in turmoil.

Liu Yu said that he could sleep without going back to the camp, but he couldn't even take a step into Xiaoqiao's yard. Tomorrow the brethren should laugh at him for wasting the privilege given by the manager. He wasn't good at words, but he could think of what these unscrupulous guys would say. Liu Yu is also very fond of hurting people, if he knew that he was doing something tonight, he would definitely be sarcastic, and if he was sarcastic, it would be at least half a year.

He believed in the reins of the horse, walked around, and when he looked up, he found that he had arrived at the north gate of Tongguan.

The north gate was not closed, and people were still coming in.

It's so late, how did you do it?

He was not the chief of the defense of the North Gate, but everyone had the right to inquire about suspicious signs.

When I stepped forward, I found a group of people entering the city. He went down to Mara and stayed with men, and asked them where they came from. The man's voice was tired, and he said that we were from Kabasaka.

General Zhu Chaoshi's subordinates?

Yes.

If you don't attack Pusaka, why did you come back to Tongguan in the middle of the night?

The man was silent, trying to break away from Guo Xu. As soon as Guo Xu let go, he staggered two steps and fell to the ground. Guo Xu hurriedly went up to help him, and another person came over to help, and said in a low voice:

We were defeated.
