Chapter 8: Dismounting

Su Huai'an was still closing his eyes to recuperate, and when he heard that it was along the river, he hurriedly opened his eyes and got up and went out, and as soon as he got out of the carriage, he saw the road sign along the river erected on the side of the road.

Su Huai was happy in peace, and everyone was also crying with joy, and with the rain, no one could tell where the rain was on his face and where were the tears.

At this moment, a feathered arrow suddenly swooped out from the woods, and it was impartially shot at the neck of Su Huai'an's horse in the carriage, and the horse immediately fell to the ground.

The crowd was shocked and drew their swords one after another.

The bearded man shouted at the woods, "Which thief is making this mistake!" ”

"Kill!"

Suddenly, an earth-shattering crowd burst out of the woods, "Where are the people?" Leave behind the gold and silver treasures on your body, and you will be killed! ”

One person stood out of the crowd who rushed out, and he was only wearing a vest on such a cold day.

"Bold! Don't even look at whose convoy this is to dare to intercept?! "This is the convoy of Lord Su Huai Ansu of the Imperial Court, if you know each other, get out of the way, Uncle Ben can spare you from death!" ”

"Joke! What is Lord Su, Lord Meat, Rong Hun's family reports his name, I am a person who entered the green forest along the river, if you know each other, obediently put down your belongings, our brothers only rob money and do not hurt people, if you don't know what to do, don't blame the brothers for having no swords and no eyes! ”

"In that case, brothers, copy the guy to protect Lord Su!"

Just when the two groups of people were about to fight, suddenly a large group of people arrived, took the lead in rushing into the gang of bandits who were shooting arrows just now, and fought with the gangsters.

Su Huai'an stood in the middle of the carriage, very at a loss, just before he understood the situation at the moment, the team that rushed out had already killed this gang of bandits, and at this time, a person in an official uniform walked out of the crowd.

"What a bold man, he dares to make trouble in my riverside mansion, he really doesn't take me Jiang Zongnian in his eyes!"

The bandit leader stared at Jiang Zongnian, and his eyes were red when the rain flowed in, "Jiang Zongnian!" The man gritted his teeth, "You have good means, but you don't give our brother a way to live!" ”

The man wanted to say more, but he was kicked over by He Yong, the military general beside Jiang Zongnian, "Thief, you also deserve to be called by Lord Jiang's name?!" Don't pull it down yet. ”

Blood and rain mixed together, staining the land red, Jiang Zongnian didn't mind, black satin boots stepped forward, and walked straight to Su Huai'an's carriage, "Is this a business trip in the past?" This year, there is a flood along the river, so if you want to go south, please take a detour. ”

Fu Xi saw that Jiang Zongnian was misleading, and hurriedly spoke for Su Huai'an, "We are not a merchant team, we are a team sent by the imperial court to build a dam along the river and level the flood, this is our Lord Su." ”

Flich made it clear.

That Jiang Zongnian was stunned, "Master Su? Isn't it Lord Su who was sent to treat the flood more than half a month ago? ”

Su Huai'an was still standing in front of the carriage, and when he saw Jiang Zongnian asking, he bent his knees and sat on the front of the carriage first, then jumped a little, and also stood in the blood water, and gently arched his hand, "Su Huai'an of the Ministry of Works, I have seen Master Jiang." ”

Seeing this, Jiang Zongnian hurriedly returned a bigger salute, "Jiang Zongnian, the governor of the Xiaguan Yanhe Mansion, has seen Lord Su, but it is the Xiaguan who has not managed the Yanhe Mansion well, which has frightened the adult's journey, please punish the adult." ”

Su Huai'an looked at the mess in this place, so he had to pat Jiang Zongnian on the shoulder, "Lord Jiang doesn't have to mind, Su only came to supervise the work, and he has to bother Lord Jiang a lot to help." ”

"Of course, of course."

Jiang Zongnian's demeanor was completely different from the bandit he had just seen.

Su Huai'an looked at Jiang Zongnian's leaning over his head, and couldn't help but feel worried.

Jiang Zongnian was very polite, and he was about to take Su Huai'an to the city to greet him, he grabbed Su Huai'an with one hand, "Let's go, my lord, our people along the river have been looking forward to you for a long time, you are here, there is a way to deal with this raging flood," he tilted his head, "What are you still standing for?!" Don't hurry up and pick up Su-sama's convoy. ”

Seeing that Su Huai'an was being pulled away by Jiang Zongnian, he hurriedly caught up and raised his voice, "Master Su, what should we do?!" ”

Jiang Zongnian turned around and was ruthless, "Where did you come from the countryside and the reckless man, you dare to come and stop Lord Su." ”

Su Huai'an was about to turn around and explain to the bearded man, and wanted to withdraw his hand, but found that Jiang Zongnian was pulling extremely tightly, and she couldn't shake it off after a few struggles, and seeing Jiang Zongnian's fierce attitude, she hurriedly explained, "Lord Jiang, this is the lucky team that escorted me all the way, and I owe them help along the way, please don't do this to them." ”

Jiang Zongnian's eyes rolled, his face was a little gloomy, but his words softened a lot, "Even so, He Yong? ”

"The last general!"

"Give them some money, and send them away."

"Order."

He Yong is also a military general, and he uses martial arts to pick people up, and in an instant, there was a sound of beating, scolding and crying behind him, Su Huai'an felt extremely inappropriate, and the struggle was a little bigger.

Seeing this, Jiang Zongnian brought Su Huai closer to All, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light, "Let's go, Lord Su, our local officials and wealthy businessmen have already prepared wine and food for adults in Jinyan Building, and they will wash the dust for adults, don't you ruin everyone's interest?" After all, the upward and downward effects can make adults finish their errands, and adults don't want to go back without finishing their errands, right? ”

Jiang Zongnian finally shot out a ruthless light almost from his squinted eyes, Su Huai'an is not this kind of person, and he was also frightened by what Jiang Zongnian said, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with it when he heard it, and he always felt that there was something wrong with it.

Although she has also had some physical fitness since she was a child, she is not a sick daughter of weak willow Fufeng, but at this time, she was like a chick caught by an eagle all the way by Jiang Zongnian and had no power to resist, Jiang Zongnian's car did not know what materials were used, and it was not bumpy along the way, but she shared a car with Jiang Zongnian, and Su Huai'an felt a burst of cold air coming from behind from beginning to end.

Finally got to the Jinyan Building that Jiang Zongnian said, and when he got out of the car, Su Huai'an was taken aback again, although the rain did not abate, but the red carpet was still laid out in front of the Jinyan Building, and on both sides were a team composed of officials and businessmen, all holding bouquets to welcome him, and even more, he also sprinkled with ribbons that can only be used when he got married.

Su Huai'an was careful, his body shrank back, Jiang Zongnian still pulled Su Huai'an, "Come on, come on, Lord Su please go inside, we have been looking forward to Lord Su for a long time, Lord Su will definitely not give the people along the river this face, right?" ”

Su Huai'an pretended to be flustered, and looked at Jiang Zongnian with a somewhat evasive nodding and smiling.

Helplessly, the strength of her daughter's family couldn't withstand Jiang Zongnian's strength, so she had to be passively dragged all the way by Jiang Zongnian, looking at the people on both sides who were smiling at her, she vaguely felt that the other party's smile was fake, and she vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she didn't have time to think about it.

When she came back to her senses, she was already sitting on the main seat of the big round table, Jiang Zongnian was on the side, such a big table, all the people she didn't know.

When she was a little depressed by this atmosphere, Jiang Zongnian suddenly slapped the table, "Eh, it's all a dereliction of duty, and you haven't introduced everyone here to the adults one by one, come on, come on, Brother He Xian, you come first." ”

The person sitting on the other side of Su Huai'an stood up and bowed, "Lord Su, down is He Lan, the prefect of Yanhe Prefecture, please mention more in the future." ”

"My lord, I'm ......"

The next person to stand up was a fat man with a big round belly.

"What?" Su Huai'an waved her hand, "You sit down first," she finished speaking to the fat man, and then turned her head, "What did you just say your name was?" ”

"Ho...... He Lan. The man was puzzled, and stood up to explain it again.

"Xiaguan's surname is He Minglan." He Lan gave up his hand again.

Su Huai'an laughed, she smiled, and everyone who was still eyeing him was instantly confused, and they all looked at Jiang Zongnian.

Jiang Zongnian's expression remained unchanged, and he also laughed, "Hahaha, it's all watching what I do," after speaking, he also bowed his hand to Su Huai'an, "Please also ask for your advice." ”

Su Huai'an laughed almost, and then laughed twice, using chopsticks to knock on the plate in front of him, "If you want me to say, Lord He's name is really good, especially for the occasion, He Lan?" Isn't it the meaning of how to make waves when it is disassembled? At present, there are many disasters along the river, and I heard in Beijing that the river has already been starving. Yes? Hahahaha. ”

Everyone listened to the deep voice, and their expressions were solemn.

"Ahh

Jiang Zongnian suddenly smiled and leaned back, "Interesting, it's really interesting, Master Su is too good at joking, don't be so dignified, Master Su is just telling you a joke, what are you nervous about?" ”

As soon as Jiang Zongnian said this, everyone also laughed one after another.

Jiang Zongnian poured wine for Su Huai'an while laughing, and pushed it to Su Huai'an, "Come, Lord Su is the first time to come along the river, please allow the official to give a glass to Lord Xian." ”

"Eh," Su Huai'an pushed his hand, "May I ask Mr. Jiang, is this an official banquet or a private banquet?" ”

"This ...... What's the difference? ”

"Of course there is, if it is an official banquet, then someone will not dare to eat it, the Son of Heaven is ordered to go to the river in the morning to deal with the disaster, if God knows that the first thing to do in the next rush to the river is to eat the official banquet, what does the Son of Heaven think?"

Jiang Zongnian put down his wine glass, "Alas, my lord, my lord said yes." ”

"If it's a private banquet, it's a different matter if it's a local person who picks someone up."

What Su Huai'an said was very reasonable, Jiang Zongnian could only nod on the side, "Then my lord, how can I say this?" ”

"Eh, why do you still call me my lord, I said, if it is an official banquet, I will leave now, then you will definitely not agree."

"yes, no."

"That's it, what Master Su said is reasonable."

"Isn't this in vain, have we been preparing for so long?"

But they also responded.

"Then ......" Jiang Zongnian didn't know what to do, so he couldn't go on after only saying one word.

"This is also the case, since it can only be a private banquet, then Lord Jiang doesn't have to call someone Su an adult, how can a private banquet be called like this, just call me Su Huai'an, and Lord Jiang doesn't need to call himself Lord Jiang, so that's how it passed."

Su Huai'an continued.

"This ...... I'm afraid that's not right, right? Jiang Zongnian hesitated, and everyone at the table also became suspicious.

"What? Do you think that Su Mou is not worthy of participating in this private banquet to make friends with you, or are you anxious to get Su someone, if you don't have the intention of keeping someone, Su Mou can leave now. She was about to get up as she spoke.
