The enthusiasm of the people of Andao County made the guards of Liu Yu and his party feel unexpected, and in so many places along the way, only Andao County was greeted with great fanfare. And Andao County did not greet the Son of Heaven Luan, but the king Liu Yu.

Although the Great Shun Dynasty was nominally the Son of Heaven, Liu Yue was actually in power. It's not a good thing for everyone to show it so clearly.

Liu Yu didn't seem to care very much, and seemed to be very affected by this kind of scene.

When he arrived at the city gate, the sound of firecrackers also stopped, and Liu Yue wanted to get off the horse, but Hu Liangcheng stepped forward with a faint smile and said: "His Royal Highness King Linwang is deeply loved by the people of Andao City, it is better for the ministers to lead His Royal Highness King Linwang into the city." ”

Liu Yu said: "It seems inappropriate, Mrs. Hu is a member of the party, how can you be rude in front of the people." ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Hu Liangcheng came up and grabbed Liu Yu's reins and said, "It is an honor for the ministers to lead the way for His Royal Highness King Lin." ”

Liu Yu didn't expect Hu Liangcheng's flattery to be so home, in front of the people, he didn't care about his face at all, and actually came to lead the horse for Liu Yu in person. Ordinary evil officials are fierce and evil to the people, and they are like parents and relatives to their superiors, but Hu Liangcheng seems to be different, judging from the attitude of the officials and the people towards him, this Hu Liangcheng is quite loved by the people.

Liu Yu and his entourage entered Andao City, and the people along the way welcomed them, and it was definitely not simply to find a few people to fool around. In Liu Yu's view, there are only two explanations for the people to come out, either Hu Liangcheng's high-pressure administration, and the people had to come out to greet them after posting official documents, or the people sincerely came out to greet them, but this is based on the honesty and honesty of the local officials. The former is more likely.

Hu Liangcheng personally led Liu Yu's horse to the gate of the Taishou Mansion, and the people still did not disperse when it was approaching dusk. Wait for Liu Yu to get off the horse. was welcomed into the courtyard by Hu Liangcheng. I saw Hu Liangcheng stretch out his arms and say to the people: "The people of Antao County. His Royal Highness Linwang has come from afar, and it is an honor for me to come from Antao City. But Your Highness, he has a long journey, so he will rest in the house for one night, and please go back. ”

When he said this, the people knew that they couldn't see anyone coming out today, and most of them dispersed, but there were still many who stayed in front of the Taishou Mansion and refused to leave.

Liu Yu said to Cai Yingnu on the side: "You went out to find out what was going on." ”

"Yes." Cai Yingnu respectfully accepted the order, and waited for Cai Yingnu to go out before Hu Liangcheng came in. While laughing and talking, he welcomed Liu Yu inside.

"His Royal Highness Linwang fought in the south and the north, laying an indestructible foundation for my Dashun Dynasty, and it will definitely be remembered in history in the future. The minister has the opportunity to have a meal with His Royal Highness the King, and he has no regrets in this life. ”

Hu Liangcheng's flattering words were also very good, but Liu Yu just didn't hear it, and said with a faint smile on his face: "Hu Tai has kept his reputation." ”

"Where is the prestige, I really can't find a more suitable language to praise your merits, Your Highness...... Please. ”

Liu Yu entered the banquet hall of Taishou Mansion under the guidance of Hu Liangcheng, and in the large living room, more than a dozen lanterns illuminated the hall. There are six or seven desks on one side, and there is a desk in the direction of the main seat that is prepared for Liu Yu. In addition, he didn't even prepare for Hu Liangcheng's main seat. In other words, Liu Yu is both the host and the guest here, he sits on it alone, and the officials can only sit under him to accompany him.

There were only wine jugs, wine cups, melons and fruits on the desk, and there was no food.

Liu Yu sat down, and then the officials who came in sat down at the table in twos and twos, and when the host and guest were seated, the maids in pink skirts came out one after another, bringing out the dishes with exquisite dishes. These maids in skirts, the neckline of the undergarment is very open, and they have the style of almost topless when the female style of the Tang Dynasty is opened, which is very different from the conservative style of ordinary women. Liu Yu couldn't guess whether this was a "trick" specially prepared for him, or if this old guy was so good.

After the maids all retreated, Hu Liangcheng raised his glass and said, "The ministers will replace the colleagues and people of Andao County, and pay tribute to His Royal Highness." ”

Liu Yu raised the wine cup, but did not enter, but stared at the officials below. If Liu Yu doesn't drink it, the people below can't drink it, and Liu Yu's eyes are extremely sharp, so that the people who accompany him are silent and don't dare to breathe. After all, Liu Yu did not come alone, but also brought the legendary "Thunderbolt Team", that is, the musket team, and the guards besieged the Taishou Mansion one by one, as if they were going to raid the house. Hu Liangcheng's face was a little puzzled and embarrassed, he looked at Liu Yu, who was not moving like a stone sculpture, and then looked at Liu Ding, who was sitting at his table, and didn't know how to deal with it.

Liu Yu broke the silence and said: "This cup of wine, this king doesn't dare to drink it." ”

Liu Yu's words made the hearts of everyone below pinch up, and Hu Liangcheng hesitated and asked: "The minister dares to ask, His Royal Highness Linwang, why is this?" ”

Originally, Liu Yue wanted to embarrass this group of people, but as soon as he thought about it, he would give him a dismount as soon as he came, maybe Hu Liangcheng didn't dare to do it because he had a lot of actions, so it was better to see how he did it first and then decide what means to use against him.

"This glass of wine, I still have to pay tribute to Your Majesty first!"

Liu Yu said this, and Hu Liangcheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. Hu Liangcheng said with a smile: "What His Royal Highness King Lin said is very true, you should respect the Son of Heaven first......"

Saying that, everyone toasted in the direction of the post station outside the city, and drank it all after the toast, and Liu Yu raised his sleeve to cover his mouth, and seemed to drink it all, but in fact, a glass of wine was poured into his sleeve, so he didn't want to drink wine from unknown sources, and he was poisoned to death.

Hu Liangcheng turned around, the wine glass next to Liu Yu was already empty, Liu Yu was about to pour himself a glass of wine and then perfunctory with them, Hu Liangcheng smiled and said: "How dare you bother His Royal Highness to pour wine in person?" ”

Liu Yuxin said, do you know that I shouldn't pour it myself, so I still retired from the group of scantily clad maids just now?

Hu Liangcheng smiled and clapped his hands, only to see a group of long-sleeved dancers coming out of the main hall, not only did their chests be a little open, but even the bottoms were able to expose a large area of snow muscles, barefoot lotus steps, one by one, as if they were dancing and walking, they all arrived at each table, lifted their long sleeves, and poured wine for the guests at each table.

The dancer who came to Liu Yu's table looked like the lead dancer, with a slender body and a good face, a beauty billet, a light blue long skirt that seemed to be stepping on a red lotus at every step, and when she arrived at Liu Yu's table, she poured a glass of wine for Liu Yu and then retreated, and a group of women retreated to the center of the main hall. At the same time, the surrounding silk and bamboo sounded, and the dancers began to dance to the melodious sound of silk and bamboo.

The dance music is also beautiful, but compared to the dance of Sima Xuan'er and Liu Liniang, the dance music of these women seems a little bland in Liu Yu's opinion, but the officials below and Liu Yu's seventh brother Liu Ding can't take their eyes off it, especially Liu Ding, in addition to going into battle to kill the enemy, he lives with his wife and children at home on weekdays, and has never had a nightlife.

Liu Yu saw Liu Ding's obsessive appearance, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, originally Liu Zhao sent Liu Ding to monitor him to see what he was doing, but now it seems that he Liu Yue has not been corrupted, and this Liu Ding is the first to fall. It's not easy to be a clean and self-loving official these days. (To be continued......)
