Chapter 32 The Banquet
Yuan Shang and the thieves led by the red-clothed thieves had their own hearts and minds, and entered the county government one after another.
After entering the hall, I saw Yuan Shang wave his hand, and let the left and right set up the table and arrange the wine and food with righteousness.
The red-clothed thief was already sitting down in the seat of the guest, and when he heard this, he arched his hand at Yuan Shang and said, "Don't be so troublesome, the little woman is not here for this meal of wine and meat, and she also asks the county magistrate to take back her life." ”
Yuan Shang smiled slightly when he heard this, turned his head and said to the red-clothed thief: "The big boss doesn't seem to give much face to the county, aren't you being polite to me?" ”
"No, the county lord should not misunderstand, it is the little woman's gaffe, but the little woman's brothers are still suffering from the cold outside" The daughter's family can fight and kill, but after all, it is thin-skinned, and some words are not easy to say too straight.
Yuan Shang was happy and said, "It turns out that the big leader is worried that the brothers are dissatisfied?" It's okay, it's okay, come on, hurry up and arrange the wine and food, settle down the heroes from Jiuli Mountain, don't treat your brothers badly! ”
The soldiers beside him glanced at Yuan Shang meaningfully, nodded and said, "No." Then he took the order and left.
When he was young, the banquet was arranged, Yuan Shanggao was in the main position, and he raised his lamp and saluted the red-clothed thief from afar: "Although the big leader is the body of the green forest, but for the people is willing to come to borrow food in person, the sentiment of the high world is rare, and the county is deeply admired. Come on, let's do it! ”
The face of the female thief in red was still indifferent, and she didn't see joy or anger, and when she heard this, she gently raised her wine cup, saluted Yuan Shangyao, and then raised her head and drank it all.
Putting down the wine cup, the red-clothed thief's eyes glanced coldly at the county office, and said, "Lord County, Nuoda is a county office, why are there so few county officials?" ”
Yuan Shangha smiled and said: "This county is narrow and barren, there are not many officials, tonight the big boss came to borrow grain, most of the county officials were ordered by the county to assist in moving the warehouse to get grain, making this county government deserted, but let the big boss laugh!" ”
The female thief in red nodded slowly, her face softened slightly, and then she was silent.
The next banquet was very boring, the female thief in red seemed to be not good at talking, always Yuan Shang asked a question and answered, and the thieves standing on the side were also with a big donkey face, like a dead mother, only Yuan Shang smiled alone The sun was bright, and he repeatedly pushed the cup and changed the lamp to the thieves, frequently respectful to each other, and from time to time said a few words just right, but without losing the elegant joke.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, and more than half of the banquet, Yuan Shang pretended to be drunk and began to slowly lead the topic to a direction he was interested in.
He understood that the red-clothed female thief was calm on the surface, but in fact she was getting less and less patient, and she had to delay more and wait for Gao Zhan to clean everything up.
His eyes rolled slightly, and Yuan Shang smiled and said: "Big boss, I really don't hide it, I have a question in my heart, I want to disturb the big boss, I don't know if the big boss is willing to mention a little bit or two?" ”
The red-clothed female thief raised her head indifferently and said softly: "Please also ask the county magistrate to make it clear." ”
"The leader of the county view has good manners, speaks decently, and there is a faint trace of nobility between his gestures, and he also has a very good marching discipline to guide the heroes under his command, presumably it is a tiger girl from a large family, right? It's just that I don't know how the big boss has become a green man? Hijacking the county and opposing the imperial court, the big boss must know that the territory you are rampant now is under the rule of Cao Sikong, and he has no time to take care of you now, but sooner or later he will definitely send troops to suppress the thieves, and then the big boss and his brothers are afraid that their lives will not be guaranteed, and it will be difficult to survive."
Before he finished speaking, he saw the red-clothed female thief's eyebrows raised, the green tendons of her right hand pinching the bronze wine cup were exposed, and her left hand slowly pressed the saber on her waist, and her body bowed slightly, like a lone wolf who chooses people at any time, which makes people's hearts cold. …,
It's just this change, Yuan Shang can still be sure of eight or nine points in his heart.
This girl has a grudge against Cao Cao!
Staring at Yuan Shang coldly, the red-clothed female thief said indifferently: "Lord County Commander, don't you want to recruit for Cao Cao?" ”
The joyful atmosphere in the hall suddenly became strange and inexplicable with the words of the red-clothed female thief, who was as cold as ice and snow, and a cold atmosphere gradually permeated the entire county office, and the thieves behind the red-clothed female thief were also unkind, staring at Yuan Shang tightly, as if he was not alone, but a lamb that could be pounced on and torn apart at any time.
Seeing this, Yuan Shang gently held his chin and smiled, his smile was full of vigilance, his eyes were firmly fixed on the red-clothed female thief, and he said kindly: "What the big boss said is right, but it is not right!" This county does want to recruit a leader, but not for Cao Cao, but"
Speaking of this, Yuan Shang patted the table lightly and sloppily said: "It's for the Han Dynasty, for the Son of Heaven, or other courtiers who are loyal to the Son of Heaven."
"It's not all the same." The red-clothed female thief slowly stood up and said coldly: "Lord County Commander, this girl has underestimated you, in the county hall today, I'm afraid that a Hongmen banquet has been set up, right?" ”
Yuan Shang nodded when he heard this: "The big boss is really smart and clever, but what the Hongmen Banquet said is a bit exaggerated. ”
The red-clothed female thief's face remained unchanged, and she said: "Lord County Commander, if this girl looks down on you Nanton County, if my expectations are good, with the households and locations of your Nanton County, the soldiers guarding the city can not exceed five or six hundred at most, and they are all weak people, not I boast, Hugh Dao I still have more than a thousand brothers outside, just your five hundred, even if they are all ambushed in the county government at this moment, it is enough for this girl and her brothers to clean them up." ”
The picture is poor, the guests and hosts are unhappy, and everything is almost just in the evening.
"Yes, the big boss said that the score is not bad, if it is only with the soldiers of Nanton County, let alone put on a Hongmen banquet, it is to put on fifty Hongmen banquets, and a county-wide tour gala will not be able to leave the big leader."
Yuan Shang swore that he was not ashamed, but proud.
This time, it's a circle for a group of thieves, no, there's something wrong with the county's brain, right? Our leader speaks, what are you climbing up the pole? Are you saying that your combat effectiveness is low, okay, what are you agreeing with there, as if you have made us together.
The eyes of the red-clothed thief also flashed with incomprehension, and he stared at Yuan Shang back and forth with blazing eyes.
Seeing that Yuan Shang didn't care at all, he clapped his palms vigorously and said, "Invite someone up!" Let the big boss in red take a look! ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw two Yuan soldiers walking up to the main hall with Deng Chang and Deng Xianzai on the left and right.
Yuan Shang smiled and pointed at Deng Chang and said, "Big Boss, do you know who this person is?" ”
The red-clothed thief's eyes narrowed, and he wondered, "Who?" ”
But seeing that Deng Xianzai hurriedly straightened his clothes when he heard this, he didn't need to be explained by others, and raised his voice to himself: "In Xia Deng Chang, the words are clear, and the people of Yiyang and Thorn Yang are also!" ”
The red-clothed thief stared at Deng Chang for a long time, then slowly turned his head to Yuan Shang and said, "What Deng Chang, I haven't heard of it, Diao Min from Xinye is just a person, what did you bring out to show off?" ”
Yuan Shang glanced at Deng Chang dissatisfied, and said slowly: "Don't talk about it, it's pure wastewood!" Tell the Red Leader, what do you do? ”
Deng County Zai chest straightened, and said smugly: "In Xia Bucai, now living in Nandun County Governor, but the world is strife, Yuzhou is full of thieves, when the county Zai Committee really has no oil head, so at the beginning of the next year, there is already the ambition to resign and return to his hometown."
Ignoring Deng County Zai Luoli's long-winded self-description, the red-clothed thief turned his head suddenly and stared at Yuan Shang tightly: "He is the county governor of Nanton?" So who are you? ”
Yuan Shang smiled slightly: "Big leader, the water washed the Dragon King Temple, and the family doesn't know the family?" We're all in the same boat! ”
