And the state, Shuofang County.

As the sun sets, the branches sway gently, and a touch of blush climbs up the wall, and if you look down from a high place, you can see the smoke from the top of the stove, and when you enter the city, the smell of food is really sensational.

Linrong City is as lively as ever, in the newly expanded city, there are many wine shops and teahouses, it is a good place for men to yearn for the same door is open, a caravan with different faces poured in while the sun is thin, as the county of Shuofang County, it is also the capital of a state, the appearance of Linrong City, whether it is the appearance of the city, or the people and scholars who settled down have also had great changes.

A plaque that is too simple to be simple, there are more than a dozen sturdy men standing at the door, there are no weapons in their hands, but they exude a cold aura like a knife.

Those cold and quiet pupils, like the eyes of eagles, have a unique awe-inspiring momentum, that is, standing quietly, which also makes people dare not slack off.

The General's Mansion is as quiet as ever, a simple and clear building, the landing area is not large, and the Tingting Courtyard is not as brilliant as the ordinary rich house, but it makes the people of Linrong County who pass by and some passing caravans subconsciously cast their eyes in awe, without him, just because it is the holy land of the entire Bingzhou, this seemingly simple courtyard that even the walls are less than three meters high, but it lives the most powerful people in the state, and every day at least dozens of different but equally important orders flow out of this small courtyard and go to the counties of the state, It affects the lives of the people in all counties.

And Yuan Shang lives here, not only that. Three days ago, it was said that there were two more girls, beautiful girls like fairies.

Lao Li is the old storyteller of the time-honored tea shop 100 meters away from the general's mansion, although his eyes are cloudy but not blind, he is looking excited at the moment, the corners of his mouth are spitting, in the tea shop, dozens of people are holding their breath to listen, there are local people and scholars and businessmen who go back and forth to various places, all order one or two refreshing refreshments, enjoy this rare leisure.

But it was said that the general expelled the Xianbei people and put down the rebellion. Bring the crowd back to the city. Not only are there tens of thousands of divine soldiers by his side, but he is also accompanied by two stunning women who are rare in the world..."

Lao Li is worthy of being a first-class old storyteller in Linrong City, his expression is accompanied by movements, and his tone is sometimes sonorous and powerful. Sometimes it is low and up. Word for word. All of them pulled the hearts of dozens of listeners present.

"Ha Lu Ha" Lao Li's chin trembled, and the little apprentice who had followed him for many years quickly got on the teapot. took a sip of throat-moistening herbal tea, but saw Lao Li smile and said: "That's all for today, listeners, if you think what Lao Yu said is okay, just invest two people to buy wine." ”

After the banquet was dispersed, everyone rewarded and drank tea, and most of the crowd had dispersed, and in the tea shop, except for a few tea customers talking in a low voice, it was suddenly much quieter.

The two figures glanced at each other, but saw one of them say in a low voice: "It seems that this Yuan Shang's prestige in the state is far beyond your and my expectations." ”

On the opposite side is a middle-aged man with a black face like the bottom of a pot, but he is wearing a green robe, this kind of dress, which should give people a very strange and contradictory feeling, but it is not like that, wearing it on his body, it gives people a natural and suitable feeling.

The green-robed man with a face like a black pot sucked a sip of tea, his eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the heads and horses outside the window, but he seemed to be in deep thought.

The location they picked, the price is relatively high, of course it is better, the line of sight through the window, you can see the corner of the general's mansion with black as the main tone, the eyes are low, you can also take in the passing crowd, there is no one around, obviously, with the end of the storytelling, the entire second floor has been covered by them.

The man who spoke looked at the green-robed man in front of him, but he didn't get a response, but he didn't see a trace of impatience in him, and he didn't dare to have a trace of impatience.

The green-robed man fell into deep thought, and the person who spoke closed his mouth in a witty manner, looked at the teacup in his hand, and tasted the good tea in the cup, but did not say anything more.

It seemed that a short time had passed, but I saw the green-robed and black-faced man's eyes move slightly, his eyes withdrew from the window, looked at the person in front of him, and said, "What did you just say?" ”

The green-robed and black-faced man was really a little rude when he said this, but the person on the other side didn't dare to have a trace of thought, and hurriedly repeated: "The subordinate just said that Yuan is still in the state of prestige, far beyond the imagination of the world. ”

When the green-robed black-faced man heard this, he nodded slightly, and his black face like the bottom of the pot condensed slightly, thinking of what he had heard along the way, even he was also a little shocked.

"Let's go." The man in the green robe and black face suddenly stood up and said.

The person on the other side then stood up, but he didn't ask where to go, as a subordinate, a qualified subordinate who wants to get ahead and live, many times, just need to obey.

General's Palace.

When Frustrated Hu stepped into Yuan Shang's study, he was carving.

Lettering with a sword, carving words on the stone slab, a meter-long stone slab, has been slow dense words, there are italics and cursive, and there is a font that the frustrated hu can't understand, a kind of calligraphy called simplified.

In the study, in addition to Yuan Shang, there was another person sitting not far away, carrying a wine gourd, his cheeks flushed, who was not Pang Tong.

Now that Yuan Shang has returned to the state, Tian Feng and other powerful strategists have all stayed in the counties to rectify their internal affairs, while veterans such as Ju Yijin, Jin million, and Zhu Ling have led the crowd to spread out the offensive, and Youzhou, which was finally swallowed, of course, cannot give up.

Yuan Shang's speed of engraving is very slow, breathing and breathing are also very slow, but very regular, smooth slate, vertical and horizontal ravines, that Pang Tong, who is a little flushed because of drinking, looks at it from time to time, and the eyes that are getting brighter and brighter although he is drunk are shining, looking at Yuan Shang's serious appearance, I don't know what Lu Dao is thinking.

When Yuan Shang engraved the last word, he hugged his fists and said: "Tell the lord that there are two people outside the mansion who claim to be from Liangzhou and ask to see ......."

Someone from Liangzhou?

Yuan Shang's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and on the other side, Pang Tong, who was not sitting, suddenly straightened his waist, hung the wine gourd in his hand on his waist, and looked at Yuan Shang.

Putting down the short sword in his hand that was specially used for engraving, Yuan Shang did not look back, and said indifferently: "Please go into the outer hall and wait first." ”

"Whoa." Frustrated Hu nodded, and simply turned away.

wiped his hands, but saw Yuan Shang smiled lightly: "Shiyuan, which family do you think it will be?" ”

Pang Tong pulled a few short whiskers on his chin, and responded: "People from Liangzhou are nothing more than those two or three, Dong Zhuo can rule out that since he left Liangzhou, that guy will no longer do things under the banner of Liangzhou, so it can only be Ma Teng and Han Sui." ”

When Yuan Shang heard this, he was noncommittal, and said meaningfully: "There was news a year ago, Ma Teng and Han Sui fought again last month, and Ma Teng's son even tied Han Sui's nephew to the back of the horse and dragged him to death, this feud has also been settled, but I don't know which one will be visited outside this door." ”

Pang Tong smiled: "Don't you know the Tao when you go out to see each other?" ”

"Yes, yes" Yuan Shang also laughed loudly, and never changed his clothes, but walked out of the meteor directly with his strong suit, and Pang Tong, who had a red wine nose behind him, smiled and staggered over.

The Foreign Affairs Hall is not far from Yuan Shang's study, and the general is not big, so it is only a few steps to go to which room or hall to go.

As the name suggests, the Foreign Affairs Department is used to deal with the reception of foreign affairs, and the two people who asked to see Yuan Shang outside the door have also been invited in by Frustrated Hu, but they have not taken their seats, and the Lord has not yet arrived, and the guests are seated first, which is really a bit rude.

A few light footsteps sounded, and the frustrated Hu and more than a dozen guards standing outside the Foreign Affairs Hall all had their waists on their backs, and the two people in the hall both moved their ears slightly, and their eyes turned to the door.

Facing the afterglow of the sunset, Yuan Shang walked in, and the crimson flush fell on Yuan Shang, and the two people in the hall tried their best to see clearly, but they couldn't see Yuan Shang's face clearly under the redness.

Yuan Shang took two steps forward, and suddenly smiled: "When a distinguished guest comes to visit, I will miss the welcome, please forgive me." ”

The two people in the hall saw Yuan Shang's appearance clearly, their eyes moved slightly, their eyes flashed, and their bodies walked forward.

"You two may be seated." Yuan Shang smiled, his arm hanging slightly, and said.

The two of them were also not polite, nodded with Yuan Shang, and then sat down.

After the two of them sat down, Yuan Shang sat on the first seat, and outside the hall, the people who had been waiting for a long time hurriedly rushed in, served melons, fruits and wine, and the movements were clean and neat, and they all dispersed in an instant.

As soon as he sat on his buttocks, Yuan Shang had already looked at the appearance of the two of them in his heart, and there were eighteen exquisite painters in the General's Mansion, all of whom were immersed in Danqing painting, the princes of the world and the famous generals, as long as they saw it once, they could paint a portrait that was almost like a real person, and after a little comparison, Yuan Shang's heart was already roughly numerous.
