Chapter 148: The Four Great City Lords
He Shuai nodded, beckoned Zhao Yi and Liu Peng to sit down, and said to the ten silver-armored warriors: "You guys should also rest and relax!" ”
Ten silver-armored warriors had carefully inspected every corner of the room from the moment they entered, and were standing guard at each exit in pairs.
Seeing that the guards were indifferent, Zhao Yi smiled at them and said, "Listen to the young master, you take turns to rest in pairs." ”
Hearing Zhao Yi's order, he took the lead in walking out of the five people and sat down at an empty table next to him, but the weapon in his hand did not leave his body for half a step.
"Excuse me!" A female voice suddenly came from outside the door, which made everyone present highly tense. The five silver-armored warriors who had just sat down quickly got up and protected Heshuai's side.
The room is reached from the cloister with a distance of almost 20 meters. And Heshuai and the others sat at the table facing the door, and no one saw how the girl standing at the door in front of them approached.
Zhao Yi got up with his sword, walked to the door and asked, "Is there anything wrong with you?" ”
"You're General Zhao Yi of Piaofeng City, right?" The girl smiled and said, "My master learned that the young master of Piaofeng City has already moved into the courtyard, and he specially ordered me to send snacks and wine." As he spoke, he handed the tray in his hand forward.
"Your master?" Zhao Yi narrowed his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him, but from her eyes, he saw innocence like a pool of clear water, "Who is your master?" ”
"General Hui, the master of my family is the city lord of Phoenix City!" The girl chuckled.
"Oh!" When Zhao Yi heard this, he carefully took the tray and said, "Greetings for our city lord to make the city lord well." ”
"Yes!" After the girl sent the tray, she said a word, and then 'disappeared' out of thin air in front of Zhao Yi's eyes, and the speed made everyone present feel shocked.
Zhao Yi hurriedly closed the door, then returned to the table and put the tray on the table, only to see that in the tray was a pot of old wine, a stack of mung bean cakes, and a stack of nuts.
He Shuai couldn't help but laugh when he saw it: "This city lord of Phoenix City is really a supernatural person, how does she know that I like to eat mung bean cakes and nuts?" When I wake up in the morning, I'm still thinking about it. ”
Liu Peng was hungry all the way, and he reached out to get something to eat and drink.
Zhao Yiyan hurriedly stopped him and said, "Young General, slow down!" Then he grabbed an empty silver cup, and poured the old wine from the jug into the golden jug and then into the silver cup. He grabbed a handful of nuts and mung bean cakes and threw them into another silver cup, and poured tea on them.
He Shuai and Liu Peng didn't know what he was doing, so they could only watch quietly.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Zhao Yicai nodded and said, "These things are not poisonous and can be eaten." ”
It's not that Zhao Yi is the kind of meticulous person, but he has to take precautions, after all, today's banquet is extraordinary.
Liu Peng grabbed a handful of nuts and stuffed them into his mouth, and said with a smile: "General Zhao is really cautious, with the skills of that beautiful woman just now, I am afraid that I will not be able to use these means if I want to harm a few of us." He was right, the girl just now did have the ability to kill the big men in this room without noticing.
"Hehe, the young general doesn't know." Zhao Yi picked up a silver teacup on the table and asked with a smile, "Do you know why this teacup is made of silver?" ”
"This can't really be tested for drugs, right?" He Shuai suddenly remembered the court drama he had watched, in which the imperial doctor always coaxed him to hold a silver needle, and waited for the emperor to prick the food before eating to see if it had been poisoned.
"It does have a certain effect, and highly toxic things can be detected!" Zhao Yi nodded and replied, "And this golden pot can dissolve a certain amount of poison." ”
"Eat, eat. It's not that it's not poisonous. Liu Peng greeted. What did the emperor say about the gold pot and silver cup, which is of high standard, it turned out that he was afraid that someone would plot against him.
He Shuai waited for Zhao Yi and Liu Peng to take a osmanthus cake before getting up and holding a plate to give the saved osmanthus cake to the ten silver-armored warriors.
When he sat down again, there was just one piece on the plate, and he Shuai picked it up and threw it into his mouth. It is also strange to say that this osmanthus cake is not the same as the one eaten in the past, it is not greasy, the entrance is not astringent, sweet and salty, and there is a trace of coolness in the fragrance.
In this way, it was not until near dinner that a little eunuch got up and announced: "Young master, the general, please go to the dinner with the villain." ”
If it weren't for the period, Father-in-law Zhang secretly gave them lunch, and Shuai would really scold his mother. In the afternoon, He Shuai listened to Zhao Yi tell him about the past of Piaofeng City, while Liu Peng lay on the bed next to him peacefully and slept in the dark.
Hearing the beginning of the dinner, Liu Peng sat up from his sleep and said, "Eat, where to eat!?" ”
He Shuai shook his head and said with a smile: "Peng Peng, wipe your harath clean first, don't embarrass me for a while!" ”
Liu Peng wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth with his hand and couldn't help laughing.
After packing up, the little eunuch and everyone were taken to the pavilion in the middle of the courtyard.
He Shuai and the others were the last to arrive, and when they saw that Tang Ling in Burning Snow City had already sat down and was grimacing at himself, he felt a little relieved.
There are also a man and a woman sitting next to him, the man is tall and mighty and Zhou Yongrong has a little imagination, presumably it is Zhou Yongrong's eldest brother Zhou Yongjian, the current city lord of Chiba City.
And the masked girl didn't need to think about it to know that she was the lord of Phoenix, because behind her was still standing the kung fu girl who had brought her drinks and snacks that afternoon.
He Shuai approached the table and bowed his hand to Gonggong Zhang, and then smiled at the others: "I'm sorry, I'm late, please don't blame the seniors." ”
Gonggong Zhang said with a smile: "And the city lord, please take a seat, you don't have to be polite if you have the same rank." ”
He Shuai sat down next to Tang Ling's seat, only to find that except for Tang Ling sticking out his tongue to himself, the remaining two just looked at him without saying anything. Zhou Yongjian and He Shuai saw Zhou Yongrong for the first time, sitting firmly on Mount Tai with an expressionless face.
The city lord of Phoenix City, on the other hand, had a black veil on his face, and he couldn't see any change in his expression at all. It's just that those eyes seem familiar.
"Alright!" Seeing that He Shuai was seated, Gonggong Zhang said, "Since the four city lords are here, before we officially start the meeting, there are still generals and generals to go down and rest!" ”
Zhao Yi secretly patted He Shuai's shoulder, took Liu Peng and the silver-armored warrior to hug his fist at Gonggong Zhang, and then retreated to the corridor where he came, twenty meters away from the pavilion.
The generals of the other cities also withdrew to the cloister with their soldiers. What I didn't expect was that not only was the city lord of Phoenix City a woman, but the general turned out to be the girl who was strong in martial arts and sent snacks to herself.
Only then did He Shuai discover that this pavilion was originally built in the middle of the courtyard and had five corridors. At the end of four of the cloisters is the resting room of the various lords.
