Chapter 221: Brother (Ask for Collection)
This martial arts fight, called drinking to help the fun, ended with Muta and Dugu fighting half a pillar of incense but not distinguishing the winner or loser, and Yang Jian interjected at the end to squeeze Muta to lose, and finally the two ended in a draw.
However, this is only a fight between the two. Looking at some things, it was the "Mr. Sorrow" side represented by Dugu Duan who won, which not only made the Gongsun Zhiyi side represented by Muta dumb, but also favored the Confucian family and the Di family on the side with his strength, which can be said to have gained a lot.
Of course, for Hua Hateliu, who infiltrated Dingdu City under the banner of "dissociation", these are just "paving stones" on the road to success, but what he cares about is the upcoming "toast" at present.
Toasting is the honor enjoyed by the winning side, after drinking the three rounds of toasts from the two brothers of the Di family and Gongsun Zhiyi and Muta respectively, the eyes of Hua Hate Liu, who did not show drunkenness at the beginning, became a little blurry, and his head began to become groggy, and then looked at Di Sheng, Gongsun Zhiyi and others, the smile on his face was both weird and charming, fortunately, he did not have any other more frivolous actions due to the limitation of his actions, otherwise if it spread, the name of "Mr. Sorrow" would become a joke on the lips of others!
The more he got to the end, the more inexplicable his laughter became, which made Yang Jian, who had been hiding his drunkenness for him, feel a big headache, and after several explanations, he still had to confess his guilt, and first pushed Hua Hate Liu back to his residence in the city with Dugu Duan, who was in a slightly better state.
"Hehe, it seems that Mr. has a good time drinking tonight!" Gongsun Zhiyi got up to see him off, and his eyes pretended to be concerned about Hua Hatliu, and found that the other party had no traces of covering up or acting, so he said: "I have a recipe for hangover here, why don't you decoction with ......him after Miss Murphy goes back."
"Thank you, Mr. Gongsun." Yang Jian coldly refused: "When I was about to go out, Mr. Da specially advised, saying that it is inevitable that people will be calculated with little experience when they just come out, so it is best not to accept gifts from others at will, so as not to trouble coming to the door......"
Gongsun Zhiyi was stunned for a moment, but then he understood that this "Mr. Big" should be the "Mr. Sorrow" he saw back then...... However, when the other party said this kind of thing directly in front of him, he still felt as if he intended to target himself.
"You...... Miss Mo, Mr. Gongsun is also very kind! Kong Zhongyi wanted to scold him out loud, but thinking that the peacock matter was thanks to the help of this "Mr. Sorrow" to say two good words that didn't care about it, there was no big problem, so it was kind to his family, and his tone became much more bitter.
"I never thought my eldest gentleman would have any malice in saying this." He was cold to Gongsun and harder to Kong Zhongyi. As soon as Yang Jian said this, Kong Zhongyi blushed - you said that Gongsun Zhiyi had good intentions, so is the advice of our eldest gentleman malicious? The meaning behind these words is tantamount to pointing at Kong Zhongyi and asking: In front of my eldest gentleman, what does his grandson mean!
"Haha, the teacher's life is like the father's life, and Miss Mo should insist on it." Gongsun chuckled, but this seemingly casual sentence was extremely discordant in Yang Jian's ears: The master's life is like the father's life? What are you pretending? Don't you know how old you are this year?
Although he doubted the intention of Gongsun Zhiyi's words, Yang Jian really had nothing to refute in terms of reason, so he could only wait for these people to stay one by one with a cold face, and then push back the flower hateful willow who had fallen asleep with Dugu Duan to "rest".
After only half a pillar of incense, this reception banquet ended in some people's "complacent". Except for the flute that pretended to be half a step slow, the rest of them all returned to the army outside the city.
"Quick, ready to go!" As soon as he returned to his residence, seeing that the Quartet was no longer guarded, Hua Hate Liu jumped up from his wheelchair and greeted Dugu, who was still drunk and muddy a moment ago.
"Take the hangover medicine first!" Seeing that the two of them turned around and were about to go out, Yang Jian took out a bottle of pills from his pocket, poured two pills into a bowl and melted them with water, and served them to the two of them.
"Look at me, I almost forgot about this alcohol!" Hua hated Liu smiled, took it and drank it, and then said to Yang Jian: "You must be energetic, don't let others in...... I expect the whistle to come back in the middle of the night, and if we don't come back, you'll have to find a way to delay him outside the door for a while. β
"Don't worry!" Yang Jian patted his chest and said, "There is this girl here, don't think about entering without permission." β
"Okay, let's do our best, let's go!" After speaking, he turned around and greeted Dugu Break, and took the lead in touching out.
"Direction ......" just took two steps, and Dugu behind him was about to speak, Hua Hate Liu immediately understood, and said: "The direction is right, let's go and listen to the whispers of the two brothers first." β
Yes, the direction of the two of them at this time was not outside the city, but in the mansion of the city lord's mansion made by the sound of the flute, and the destination was not the military camp outside the city, but the reception banquet where Fang Hate Liu left with the excuse of being overwhelmed by the wine.
When the two arrived, Gongsun Zhiyi and the others had just left with their front feet, and at this time, the flute sounded in the house, and there was no one else except his two brothers.
Hua hated Liu and Lonely didn't dare to get too close, so they only went around to the back hall and listened a little farther away.
"Big brother, come here this way, do you have any ......" Seeing the people walking away, the flute poured another glass of wine and gently pushed it to the flute and asked.
"Although there is nothing obvious wrong, but according to the temperament of Kong Zhongyi and Gongsun Zhiyi, I don't believe it when they say that they didn't mumble anything along the way!" Di Xiang drank all the wine, was silent for a long time, and then asked, "What about you, little brother?" How about this ghost town? I rode all the way here, and I didn't see any living people in this city, and I think it was the result of the slaughter of the city that day, you shouldn't be so scared that you pee your pants in the middle of the night, right? At the end, he laughed, and his tone became much more relaxed.
"Big brother said he laughed!" The flute couldn't hide his smile, "The younger brother is not small again, many things can be dealt with by himself, and the eldest brother doesn't have to worry." β
"Naturally, I'm not worried, and there's nothing to worry about." Di Xiang said loudly: "Little brother, you have been smarter than me since you were a child, and your brain is better than mine, so I don't worry about falling into other people's conspiracies......" Speaking of this, his face was happy again: "But this Mr. Chou is indeed a big help for the little brother, maybe with his help to deal with Gongsun Zhiyi......"
"I haven't told my eldest brother yet, I'm going to Donglin Enclosure." Seeing the mention of Hua Hate Liu and others, Di Sheng originally wanted to have a good talk with his eldest brother, but tonight's incident made him suspicious, and he decided not to say it for the time being, but followed the meaning of Di Xiang and led the words to another direction.
Of course, he couldn't realize this slight psychological change, but Hua Hate Liu, who was hiding in a place, was sensitive to it, and smiled silently on his face, and he was fortunate to come here to listen to it first, so he didn't miss this dangerous "signal".
"I know!" Listening to the flute, he took the initiative to say that he had been to the Donglin paddock, and the flute smiled without surprise.
"Oh? Could it be that the vine tiger sues sΓΉ......"
"It's not!" Di Xiang waved his hand and said, "Don't you believe that guy Tenghu?" From the beginning of the day, as long as it was your command, he had not heard a word, how could he not follow your will and strictly keep his tone! Speaking of this, he glanced at the flute that nodded silently, and said, "I know your temper too well, how can you stay in one place for a long time?" There is such an opportunity to go out and breathe, and you will not miss it. β
"Big brother knows that I went to Donglin, but he doesn't know that I am ...... Donglin" As he spoke, he approached the flute and waited for the other party's face to show curiosity before spitting lightly: "...... Assassinated! β
"What?" Hearing this, the flute was shocked, but immediately he realized that he was aware that the partition wall had ears, and he listened quietly for a long time without finding any signs of eavesdropping, so he anxiously asked, "Are you hurt?" Who did it? Is there any living mouth left? β
"It's okay, I'm not hurt." The flute shook his head and said, but he didn't say anything about "Mr. Chou's" injury, but said softly: "Fortunately, I met Mr. Chou and his party, and with their help, there is no danger of life...... But I found out who did it. β
"Oh? Who is it? The flute sounded with anger in his eyes. He himself originally loved his younger brother and sister, and when he was in Guan and Rao, he always tried his best to meet the requests made by his sister Diyin as an elder brother, and now he learned that his younger brother had been assassinated in Dingdu City, how could he not be angry?
"Red Team."
Listening to the two words spit out of the flute's mouth, the originally angry flute's eyes widened, and when he looked at the flute again, his face was already sinking like water, and he only asked: "Is this true?" β
This is not to be taken lightly. Although the people in this echelon are not very strong, they can still be comparable to the elite soldiers in the US military -- besides, the "red" team has made a move, not because of the number of people, the means, or whether the goal is achieved, but only by what they represent......
Attitude.
What they can represent is not only the relationship with the Confucian family, but also the attitude of Gongsun Zhiyi, and then they also represent the attitude of the royal court - there is no need to distinguish between "left" and "right", but the "royal court" shared by Dadi, Guan and Rao.
"Have you told anyone else about this?" After receiving an affirmative answer from the flute, the flute asked again.
"The people who went out to investigate were all our own people, so we can be trusted." Di Sheng said again, "I told my eldest brother about this because I wanted my eldest brother to pay more attention, this time they failed to assassinate me, and no one knows who will be in our Di family next...... I sent a message to my father yesterday and reminded him to pay more attention to the elderly. β
"Very well, you did the right thing." Di Xiang nodded, "But the most important thing is your side, the people of the Kong family and Gongsun Zhiyi understand that you are the key to our Di family, so you can't relax...... It's better to do this, I'll transfer another two thousand ...... from the army."
"Big brother, this is not appropriate." Di Sheng is grateful for his eldest brother's concern, but he also knows that the transfer of troops is inappropriate. "Not to mention that the safety of the eldest brother is equally important, that is, if there is a movement of soldiers and soldiers, his grandson will also notice it, but it will make him think that we have been wary of him, and judging from his character, he will definitely carry out more careful calculations to achieve his goals...... It's better not to startle the snake at the moment......"
"Well, that makes sense...... flute frowned, but he had to admit that what he said was true.
The two brothers still have other things to say here, but Hua Hate Liu and Dugu have already left and run out of the city.
"You say, what is this Gongsun Zhiyi doing here?" was galloping quickly, and Dugu Duan suddenly heard the flower in front of him ask proudly.
