Chapter 123: The Banquet
Fan Yuan opened the door, looked at the well-equipped Northern Wei sergeant outside the door, and said calmly: "Dare to ask which general is so admirable?" ”
The Northern Wei sergeant bowed his hand to Fan Yuan and said, "Lord Qianhu, the general of my family is General Xu, the guard general of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Xu Sheng? Fan Yuan is no stranger to this name, Lin Chongshan miraculously sat on the position of the lord of the Northern Wei City, and what is even more miraculous is that the two generals in the Northern Wei City, Xu Sheng and Lu Ting, directly controlled the military power of the Northern Wei City, this time Fan Yuan received an order from the deputy commander to investigate the matter thoroughly, of course, Fan Yuan also understood that this was also the emperor's meaning.
However, before he could settle down and meet with the Jinyi Wei secret agents in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Xu Sheng came to the door in such a hurry, I am afraid that he already knew his intention.
Fan Yuan nodded: "Lead the way." ”
"Senhe-sama, please." The Northern Wei sergeant made a gesture of please.
Fan Yuan naturally didn't need to be polite to these military officers, and walked directly in front, but when he just walked out of the West Wing, Fan Yuan showed a slight smile.
Not only Fan Yuan, but even the Northern Wei sergeants were also stunned, because they all heard the sound of rapid footsteps.
Hundreds of Jinyi guards quickly arrived and directly stopped the Northern Wei sergeants.
The captain of the Northern Wei sergeant team who came to invite Fan Yuan looked at the Jinyi Guard who surrounded him, and said to Fan Yuan with a calm face: "Lord Qianhu, my general wants to invite one adult by name, as for the other brothers of Jinyiwei, they are not on the list. ”
Fan Yuan looked at the captain of the Northern Wei sergeant in front of him, was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "There is no need for the general to break the bank, my brothers should take a walk with me, just to see the scenery of the Northern Wei City." ”
"Since Senno-sama said so, then please." The captain of the Northern Wei sergeant once again made a gesture of please.
Fan Yuan looked at the Jinyi Wei Baihu led by him and said, "Follow behind." ”
"Yes." Jinyi Wei Baihu responded.
On the other side, Gonggong Gui saw this scene clearly, and after returning to the room, he told his grandson Li Qian about it.
Li Qian was surprised: "Grandpa, this Northern Wei City general invited Fan Yuan, I'm afraid it's not that simple. In Li Qian's view, the only possibility for the generals of the Northern Wei City to entertain Fan Yuan was to buy Fan Yuan, or to honor Fan Yuan.
"Bribing Jinyiwei, as long as the officials of the court have money, they will do it, let alone the generals in charge? Not surprisingly. "Grandpa Gui wasn't very interested in this matter, and he wasn't angry that he didn't invite himself, after all, Jinyiwei had more power than them eunuchs.
"How does this work?" Li Qian stood up suddenly.
Gonggong Gui sighed, his grandson is smart, but his qualifications are still not enough: "Why not?" ”
"If Fan Yuan accepts bribes, then what else is there to check this time?" Li Qian said a little angrily.
"It's pedantic, Jinyiwei checks Jinyiwei, we check ours, the river water doesn't interfere with the well water, why didn't we have to check?" Father-in-law Gui asked rhetorically.
"Grandpa, brocade clothes and guards are all over the world, it is not difficult to stop us from investigating a little thing, and it can even make it difficult for me to walk." I have learned about Jinyi Wei and Li Qian.
"Don't worry, Jin Yiwei is not a fool, naturally understand my intention, when the time comes, Fan Yuan will not only give Jin Yiwei and the emperor an explanation, but also give me an explanation, otherwise no one will be able to pay the difference, this is called mutual supervision, if the news reported by Fan Yuan and I is different, then the queen mother and the emperor will inevitably send someone to investigate the matter thoroughly, and the matter will become more serious." Duke Gui explained to Li Qian fairly and lightly.
Li Qian was stunned after listening: "Mutual supervision? yes, that's a good idea. ”
Xu Sheng hosted a banquet for Fan Yuan in a large restaurant in the Northern Wei Dynasty, but there were not many soldiers and horses with him, plus the dozens of soldiers who went to invite Fan Yuan, just as many as Fan Yuan brought, the same hundred.
After coming to the restaurant, Fan Yuan was surprised, he didn't expect Xu Sheng to be as bold as he imagined to charter the entire restaurant, but just chartered a private room to entertain himself.
After walking into the box, it was exactly the same as Fan Yuan expected, and there was only Xu Sheng in the box.
Jin Yiwei commanded Lin Shihao never participated in the court meeting, and the deputy commander Gu Mingyang acted as the agent of the court, and over time it became a matter of course, and no one would care about this.
When he received the secret order of the late Deputy Commander Gu, Gu Mingyang said to Fan Yuan that Lin Chongshan's appointment as the lord of the Northern Wei City was unanimously approved, but above the general of the Northern Wei City, the ministers of the court had different voices, and some people wanted to arrange their own people to take office, but the Ministry of War recommended the two of them on the grounds that Xu Sheng and Lu Ting had made great contributions.
In the end, Xu Sheng and Lu Ting's two people served as the generals of the Northern Wei Dynasty with the loudest voice, but they also divided the courtiers into two groups, one side was to recommend Xu Sheng, and the other was to recommend Lu Ting, and finally the emperor had to make the two of them the generals of the Northern Wei Dynasty, regardless of the size of the official position, as for the position of general, it was just to see the after-effects.
This is Fan Yuan's second task when he comes to the Northern Wei City, who is the most suitable to serve as the general of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Seeing Fan Yuan coming in, Xu Sheng immediately stood up and bowed his hand to Fan Yuan, "Lord Fan." ”
"General Xu." Fan Yuan saluted Xu Sheng back, and then looked at Xu Sheng carefully, but as the intelligence said, he was a refined man, and from the momentum that Xu Sheng faintly exuded, Fan Yuan knew that this was something that only people who had been on the battlefield for a long time would have, but Xu Sheng was not a master, although he could suppress his killing momentum, but he still couldn't hide it all.
"You may be seated."
"Thank you, ......" But as soon as Fan Yuan finished speaking, he was slightly stunned, because he saw a sign hanging on the waist of Xu Sheng, who was dressed in a general suit, not a general's order, but a wooden brand, and a brand that he was familiar with.
After sitting down, Xu Sheng almost said: "Master Fan is very familiar, I don't know where we have seen it?" ”
"Is it the outskirts of the capital?" Fan Yuan's expression was closed.
"Remember, I dug a well there." Xu Sheng did not answer the question.
Fan Yuan's expression eased: "There is more than one well there." Saying this, Fan Yuan suddenly pulled out his saber, smiled at Xu Sheng, and then poured out a sign from the scabbard on the table, a wooden card that was exactly the same as Xu Sheng.
Fan Yuan put away the saber, lit up the wooden sign to Xu Sheng, and said, "Sanqi." ”
Xu Sheng nodded, took off the wooden card on his waist and raised it to Fan Yuan, "Twenty-six." ”
Fan Yuan suddenly smiled: "The general's position is really higher than mine." ”
"There, we all belong to different squads, where is the difference between high and low?" Xu Sheng also smiled, then put away his smile and said, "I already know the purpose of your trip, Li Qian, and Father-in-law Gui. ”
For this, Fan Yuan was not surprised, he could become a brocade guard, and his mind would not be stupid.
"So, how do you want me to reply to the above? There is also the post of general of the Northern Wei Dynasty. "For Fan Yuan, the position of general of the Northern Wei Dynasty is of course the most suitable for his own people, not to mention that Xu Sheng is his own person.
"There is an order from above, the position of the general of the Northern Wei Dynasty will be transferred to someone else, and this person will not be our person." Xu Sheng said what He Taiji meant, originally wanted to let Xu Sheng or Lu Ting serve as the general of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but after getting the news from the imperial court, He Taiji immediately changed his mind, after all, it was the people of the Northern Wei Dynasty who controlled the Northern Wei Dynasty, which would definitely make Emperor Jingde and the Empress Dowager suspicious.
Fan Yuan didn't ask much about what it meant, the most important thing as a brocade-clothed guard is to obey orders and execute orders, not to question orders.
Then, Xu Sheng told Fan Yuan a lot of things about the Northern Wei City, so that Fan Yuan could be prepared.
However, not long after, Xu Sheng and Fan Yuan's conversation was interrupted by the noise outside.
Moreover, no one has come in to report yet, which makes Xu Sheng and Fan Yuan puzzled.
"What's going on out there so noisy?" Xu Sheng shouted outside the door.
"Back to the general, there are two martial arts people at the door of the restaurant who are practicing martial arts, and the people are watching, and it is inconvenient for us to drive them away."
After all, the Northern Wei City has experienced a big war, and it is a sudden siege battle, which has greatly frightened the people of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and now there is something to entertain them, as a native soldier of the Northern Wei City, he also knows that this helps the fathers and villagers to relax their tense spirits.
It was not ordinary people who were fighting, but the sword gods Hanamichi and Mowgli among the ten gods.
After Skywalker, Mowgli and Bai Xing came to Northern Wei City, Bai Xing said that he wanted to check if there were any people from the Holy Sect in Northern Wei City, and Skywalker made an appointment with Bai Xing to meet in the big restaurant in Northern Wei City.
Who knew that by chance, the wine fairy said that his wine gourd was about to run out of wine and he was going to buy wine, so the two sides met at the door of the big restaurant.
Of course, Skywalker and Mowgli couldn't know the wine fairy and Hanamichi after the disguise, but Hanamichi recognized Skywalker and Mowgli couldn't two people, and from the information provided by the Black Wind Demon Spirit, it was these two people who teamed up with others to take away the murderer.
Although Hanamichi and Jiuzhongxian knew about the appearance of the Heavenly Hermit in Luoyang City, they didn't know exactly how it was, and they only got news from Nian Jia that these two people must know the whereabouts of the Heavenly Hermit.
"Hey, you two stand still." Hanamichi shouted at Skywalker and Mowgli.
Skywalker, who was munching on a big chicken leg, looked back at Ikebana, but it didn't matter, and asked with a puzzled face, "You called me?" ”
"He certainly didn't call us, and we didn't call for feed." Mowgli couldn't look at Hanamichi with contempt in his eyes.
And from the other party's restrained divine light, Skywalker and Mowgli can't both know that the other party is a master.
Hua apologized, "I'm sorry two, I just want to ask one of you." ”
"Detectives? How do you know we know each other? Skywalker was a little wary.
"You must know him, his name is Heavenly Hermit." Hanamichi continued.
Wuji couldn't raise his eyebrows, as if he had noticed something interesting, and said to Hanamichi, "Do you want to know the news of the Heavenly Hermit?" ”
"Yes, please ...... two more" But Hanamichi hasn't finished speaking, and Mowgli can't already make a move.
"Then it depends on whether you have the ability or not, depending on the move." Interrupting the words of the flower arrangement, after saying the word "look at the move", Mowgli couldn't use the powerful adamantium finger to the flower arrangement.
There is no reason to do it, and the wine fairy can actually be on it with the flower arrangement, but ...... The key is that Mowgli couldn't specifically remind Hanamichi, it didn't seem to be for the sake of killing, not to mention that the wine fairy and the flower arrangement were both tolerable, and it seemed that the other party was going to test the flower arrangement, so the wine fairy stepped aside.
