Entering the former general's mansion, Liu Wei was like entering a big garden.

Standing at the gate and looking into the courtyard, just the front yard of the mansion, you can't see the edge at a glance.

The pavilions and pavilions in the courtyard are lined up one after another, highlighting the wealth of the owner of the house. The flower beds in the garden are planted with flowers that bloom in all seasons, and the clumps of flowers are blooming their smiling faces in the warm breeze of the smoky moon, and many bees and butterflies are also flying back and forth among the flowers, adding a bit of vividness to the originally vibrant front yard.

The moon season in full bloom in the flower garden is wafting with a faint fragrance, even if it is Liu Bian, who is not very understanding of the style, when he enters the former general's mansion, he can't help but take a deep breath and enjoy the rich fragrance brought by the flowers.

"Your Highness, please!" Entering the front yard, Gongsun Chan made a gesture of invitation to Liu Wei and said to him: "The mansion is quite shabby, and there is not much hospitality for His Highness. In the past, the old man saved a few jars of good wine, and raised some family concubines, and today His Royal Highness is here, and he will entertain His Royal Highness with some vulgar things! ”

"The former general is too polite!" Nodding to Gongsun Zhan, Liu Wei did not refuse the hospitality proposed by Gongsun Zhan, and raised his feet and walked towards the front hall facing the door.

Walking side by side with Gongsun Chan to the door of the front hall, two maidservants who had been waiting at the door pushed the door open, and then folded their hands in front of them, and stood with their heads bowed.

When the door opened, Gongsun Chan made a gesture of invitation to Liu Wei again.

Entering the front hall, Liu Wei found that this hall was more magnificent than the front hall of any official mansion he had seen before.

The whole hall was twenty or thirty paces wide and narrow, and dozens of low tables were placed in the hall, and behind each low table was a delicate straw mat with silk inside.

Entering the front hall, Gongsun Xu, who was following behind, glanced at a Jizhou general behind him. The Jizhou general nodded in understanding, turned around and retreated.

led Liu Bian straight to the main seat in the hall, and when he arrived next to the main seat, Gongsun Zhan made a gesture of invitation to Liu Bian, and said to Liu Bian: "Your Highness, please take a seat!" ”

"The former general is a veteran of the Han Dynasty, who crusaded against Hu Lu to the Japanese, and worked hard and made great achievements. Today's first seat, the current general sits on! Knowing that if he sat down in the first seat, the Jizhou generals in the follow-up hall would definitely take the opportunity to make trouble, Liu Wei did not sit down, but resigned very humbly.

His resignation was really unexpected by Gongsun Zhan and the Jizhou generals in the follow-up hall, a group of Jizhou generals looked at each other, and the lines of attack that had been prepared earlier were useless at the moment.

Liu Bian's excuse made Gongsun Chan stunned for a moment, the Han clan he had seen in the past was all eager for others to put their status as Han clan relatives on the bright side, and they had to fight for a high level wherever they went, but this Liu Bian didn't look like those people, which made Gongsun Chan very puzzled in his heart.

"His Royal Highness is a noble man of the clan, and the old man is just a courtier, how dare he sit in front of His Highness?" Although this is Jizhou, even if Gongsun Chan sits on the first seat, no one dares to say much, but Liu Bian's identity is noble after all, and Gongsun Chan still has some consideration for this, and he did not sit down, but humbly said again.

"Your Highness refuses to sit, and the former general refuses to sit, don't you want me to wait here until dark?" Seeing that the two of them were only concerned about prevarication, a Jizhou general stepped forward, stood in the middle of the front hall and said to the two of them in a loud voice: "The last general has a proposal, if you move another table to come, Your Highness and the former general will sit side by side, wouldn't everything be over!" ”

The Jizhou general, who stepped forward, had a big face with Chinese characters, and his beard was very sparse, but there were a few faint strands of fluff on his lips, and there was no extra hair in other parts. Judging from his face, this life is a bit rude, but he is definitely not a bold and rough person like Guan Hai.

"Zou Dan is rude!" As soon as the Jizhou general's voice fell, Gongsun Zhan glared at him, and said angrily: "Your Highness is a member of the Han family, you want to sit side by side with Your Highness, don't you want to be among the rebellious ministers and thieves?" ”

"Someone!" After scolding Zou Dan, Gongsun Zhan shouted outside the hall with a little annoyance in his tone: "Drag Zou Dan, the thief, out of the hall and cut it down!" ”

As soon as Gongsun Zhan's shout fell, two Jizhou soldiers guarding the door immediately entered the hall and pressed Zou Dan's shoulders one left and one right.

"The last general is not convinced!" The shoulder was pressed by the two Jizhou soldiers, Zou Dan twisted his shoulder vigorously, his thick silkworm eyebrows were upside down, and he shouted at Gongsun Zhan: "The former general has been fighting on the battlefield all the year round, and he has meritorious service in the Han Dynasty, even if His Royal Highness King Hongnong is here in person, how can he not sit side by side with the former general......

"Presumptuous!" Without waiting for Zou Dan to finish shouting, Gongsun Zhan said angrily at him: "Okay, you Zou Dan, you are dying, and you still don't know how to repent!" Since ancient times, the dignity and inferiority have been orderly. If General Ben and His Royal Highness sit side by side, how should the heroes of the world view General Ben? You're trying to drive General Ben to a dead end! How can I tolerate you today? ”

scolded Zou Dan angrily, Gongsun Zhan wrinkled his brows and shouted to the two Jizhou soldiers who were pressing Zou Dan's shoulders: "Escort Zou Dan down and cut it down, and report it immediately!" ”

"No!" The two Jizhou soldiers pressed Zou Dan's shoulders and dragged him out of the hall.

"Wait!" Without waiting for the two Jizhou soldiers to escort Zou Dan to turn around, Liu Wei raised his hand and made a stop gesture, first shouted to stop them, and then said to Gongsun Zhan, who was full of anger on the side: "Don't be angry, what Zou Dan said is not unreasonable. ”

"Your Highness!" As soon as Liu Bian said this, Gongsun Zhan raised his face with anger and pointed to Zou Dan, who was pressed on the shoulder by two Jizhou soldiers, and said to Liu Bian: "This thief does not think of humility and says such a rebellious word, how can His Highness still intercede for him?" ”

Looking at Gongsun Chan with an angry face, Liu Wei had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, slowly shook his head, and said to Gongsun Zhan: "The former general is loyal and righteous, and this king already knows it. Although this king is a member of the Han family, he is only a down-and-out clan, and if he talks about dignity, he is not more noble than ordinary scholars. Coming to Jizhou, thanks to the former general's kindness, my heart is already grateful, if the former general because of the king and kill the brave general, how can the king feel at ease? ”

As soon as Liu Wei said this, Gongsun Zhan's anger subsided slightly, lowered his head and muttered for a moment, raised his hand and waved at the two Jizhou soldiers holding Zou Dan, and said to them: "You two stand down for the time being." ”

Seeing that Gongsun Chan had withdrawn the two Jizhou soldiers who were holding Zou Dan, Liu Wei already fully understood in his heart that Gongsun Chan wanted to kill Zou Dan, but he did a good show on the spot, forcing him to take the initiative to invite Gongsun Chan to sit side by side with him.

Now that he has seen through the other party's tricks, Liu Wei will not break it, and still said to Gongsun Zhan with a smile: "The former general guards Jizhou, and this Jizhou is like home." When this king first came, he was a guest. When I am going to a wine banquet, the lord's house does not sit in the first seat, but I, the guest, occupy the first seat, isn't it noisy? The former general was loyal to the Han family, and the king knew it. In the past, the general was loyal and righteous, but today the two of us are sitting side by side, so why not? ”

Putting up this banquet, Gongsun Zhan was trying to force Liu Bian to admit his lofty status, Liu Bian said this, it was in his arms, where would he delay, just pretended to be silent for a while, then raised his hand and pointed at Zou Dan, pretending to be ashamed and scolded again: "You guy, you made a good proposal, it really pushed a certain person into a situation of no return!" If it weren't for His Highness's intercession today, General Ben would definitely kill you! ”

Zou Dan, who was angrily scolded by Gongsun Zhan, clasped his fists with both hands, bowed down deeply, and looked like he was submissive, and he didn't dare to say more than half a word.

"Since His Royal Highness has invited him, the old man has trespassed today!" After scolding Zou Dan, Gongsun Zhan arched his hand at Liu Wei again, and pretended to say to Gongsun Xu, who was standing in the hall: "Order someone to move another table to come!" ”

Zou Dan proposed to ask Liu Wei and Gongsun Chan to sit side by side, and in the process of Gongsun Chan pretending to kill Zou Dan, Guan Qing, who followed everyone into the hall together, always had a contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth.

Gongsun Zhan's play, she can see it clearly, and she also knows what kind of purpose the former general who is standing with Liu Wei wants to achieve.

What made her feel very puzzled was that she could see what she was doing, but Liu Bian, who was much more shrewd than her, pretended not to know, not only did not force Gongsun Chan to really kill Zou Dan, but jumped into the game made by others, pleading for that Zou Dan, and took the initiative to let Gongsun Chan sit side by side with him.

In the huge front hall, except for Guan Qing, who was very puzzled by Liu Wei's approach, everyone else felt quite satisfied.

Not long after Gongsun Zhan ordered to carry another table into the hall, the Jizhou generals who had arranged for the departure of Gongsun Xu as soon as he entered the door walked into the house with two soldiers who carried the table.

The two Jizhou soldiers carried the table case, and when they arrived in front of Liu Wei and Gongsun Zhan, they first put the table upright, and then one of the soldiers placed a fine straw mat covered with silk behind the table.

"Your Highness, please!" After the two soldiers set the table, Gongsun Chan made a gesture of invitation to Liu Wei again, watched Liu Wei sit down, and then sat down behind the table on the other side.

"Gentlemen, please take a seat!" Sitting alongside Liu Wei in the first place, Gongsun Zhan raised his hand to everyone in the hall, and then turned his head and whispered to Liu Bian: "Your Highness has been conquering the Quartet in the past, and I think I have long been used to seeing bloody killings. The old man's house has raised some beautiful family concubines, and the teacher teaches some singing, dancing, playing and singing on weekdays, so let them come out to cheer His Highness today, how about it? ”

"Very good!" Gongsun Chan said that there were many beautiful concubines in the family, Liu Wei suddenly made a look of shining eyes, and said to Gongsun Zhan: "This king led the army to fight in the past, but he really didn't have much leisure to taste singing and dancing. There is such a spring color in the former general's mansion, if this king doesn't look at it, wouldn't he be puzzled? ”

Liu Bian's words stunned Gongsun Zhan for a moment, but he quickly tasted the meaning of Liu Bian's words, his face was full of smiles, and he slapped twice outside the door of the main hall.

After Gongsun Chan slapped him, more than a dozen dancers in light tulle skirts walked into the hall in a procession.

The gauze skirts on these dancers are very light, as thin as cicada wings. In the gauze skirt, the spring color, faintly looming in the haze, the smooth skin is covered by the tulle, but it is more and more set off the boundless spring light, even the black haze between the two slender jade legs of the dancer, but also under the background of the tulle, more and more reverie.

The generals in the entire front hall, after more than a dozen dancers entered the hall, all had a strange brilliance in their eyes, and their eyes couldn't stop cruising back and forth on the jade bodies of the dancers.

Guan Qing, who is a daughter's family, was very disgusted by the eyes of the generals in Jizhou, she turned her head to look at Liu Bian, who was sitting at the top, and wanted to find some awe-inspiring righteousness from Liu Bian's face, but she didn't want to just turn her face, she saw a lewd face with greedy saliva on the corner of her mouth and an anxious face.
