On the 24th of the first month, twelve days after Lan Jing'an returned to Xiangyang, he held a banquet at the General's Mansion for the first time, and by the way, he washed the dust of the reinforcements from Jiangling and Jiangxia.

Before the beginning of the unitary period, the invited generals and officials of all walks of life who managed government affairs in Xiangyang had gathered in the general's mansion to wait for the arrival of the great secretary's order. Lan Jing'an also ordered people to add food and wine to each military camp. Except for the sergeants who need to be on duty, anyone can have a good drink tonight.

At this celebration banquet, Lan Jing'an also specially invited several leading figures who volunteered to organize the people to guard Xiangyang during the battle in the east of the city that day. In addition, several businessmen who volunteered to donate money and food were also invited. And Xie Weining's master and servant are her guests.

Xie Weining and Yin Quan were basically the first to arrive, although he was blindfolded on his right eye, he did not wear the mask with blue fangs. Therefore, many cadres and generals couldn't connect this jade-faced boy with the resourceful Ning Wei at all, and they asked who this person was, and he was so high-seated.

Xie Weining didn't say anything, just waited for Lan Jing'an to appear. He had never been to a banquet with her, and he didn't know how she would be dressed today. Is it still the chic female general who still wears armor, or is she wearing a celebratory dress, revealing her solemn and sacred side?

Finally, with a "big priest's order", all the people in the hall got up to greet Lan Jing'an, and when she entered the hall in a jade-colored dark robe, many generals were dumbfounded. And Xie Weining saw that these rough people in the army were staring at his ugly girls one by one, and he couldn't wait to rush to Lan Jing'an, not allowing others to look at her again.

Lan Jing'an's outfit today has actually been worn in Xiangyang before, but because she has always shown people in military armor or Hu clothes recently, it makes these generals forget that she also had a feminine side.

In fact, Lan Jing'an did not wear armor to attend the banquet that day, which was not what she wanted. Since the injury, her back is not only not stained with water, but also afraid of hard objects rubbing. So, in order to help the wound heal, she has been wearing a hufu lately. But Hu Fu couldn't get into the lobby, so she had to change into a loose dark coat tonight.

She walked to the main seat with a graceful gait and stood still, smiling and sweeping the people who came to the banquet one by one: "Thank you for coming." In the past, we worked together to ensure that Xiangyang was temporarily extricated from difficulties. I hope that we will make persistent efforts, not only to hold Xiangyang, but also to completely defeat the cadres and return Jingzhou to peace! ”

"Today, we raise our glasses and drink freely, one is to celebrate the great victory of the Qianjun army in the east of the city and the burning of the dock a few days ago, and the other is to wash the dust for the reinforcements. Don't be restrained today, you must come to a drunk and not return! For the sake of Xiangyang, let's drink this cup full! ”

After that, Lan Jing'an took the lead in drinking it all. The crowd shouted in unison: "Thank you for the wine." Then he drank the contents of the cup with her.

Then Lan Jing'an began to name one by one. She started with Pang Tu, who was sitting on her left: "General Pang is brave and good at fighting, leading everyone in the battle of the east of the city, and confronting Dayong head-on, without letting the other party get half a penny. Come, let's toast General Pang first! ”

Pang Tu hurriedly dried the wine in his hand. He felt guilty in his heart, and felt that the great secretary was high-spirited, and said with emotion: "It is all under the command of the great commander that we can win more with less." I, Pang Tu, am a rough man, and I won't say anything else, but as long as you give the order, I will do it. If anyone doesn't listen, I'll teach him a lesson!" ”

Lan Jing'an smiled softly at him: "I remember what you said, thank you General Pang." ”

Then she walked up to Sun Wei, who was under Pang Tu, and raised her glass: "Captain Sun wears many hats. first led people to inquire about the situation in Dayong, and then sent people to escort grain and grass. In addition, in the battle in the east of the city, two hammers beat Yuwen Moqi's little boy to the head of the rat, which is really happy. Captain Sun also contributed a lot in the burning of the dock, and he definitely deserves our toast to you! ”

Sun Wei said that he didn't dare to drink with a smile. Lan Jing'an had already talked to him, and when she repelled the Dayong Siege Army, she would ask the Generalissimo for him to be named a general.

Then Lan Jing'an went to Captain Changshui, who was in the third place on the left: "This cup, we should pay tribute to Captain Kong together." In the battle of Chengdong, Captain Kong commanded effectively and became a key factor in forcing the cadres to retreat. And if it weren't for you and people, we wouldn't have been able to burn down Dayong's dock. Captain Kong, you have worked hard. ”

Captain Kong was also modest for a while, and then drank it all.

Then, Lan Jing'an walked to the first place on his right hand and said politely to Zhang Xun: "Sir, this time has been hard. Without you arranging grain and grass and coordinating the changes in the Xiangyang military camp, the cadres would not have acted so smoothly. And during this time, Jingzhou's political affairs also have a lot to take care of by you. A glass to Mr. ”

Zhang Xun also hurriedly lowered his head and drank. When everyone heard Lan Jing'an's name for Zhang Xun, they all had different thoughts about this Zhang Changshi.

And Xie Weining, who was sitting at the bottom of Zhang Xun, was looking at her with a smile of expectation at this time. Lan Jing'an walked in front of him and raised his glass again: "This Ning Wei is an old acquaintance in the northwest, and by chance, I met again in Jingzhou." It was he who proposed to burn the dockyard and help us to victory. ”

Lan Jing'an looked at his eyes and said seriously word by word, "Ning Wei, I have nothing to thank, I can only use a glass of wine to thank you for saving your life in Xiangyang." Thank you, my friend. ”

Xie Weining smiled softly at her, raised his head and drank the wine in his cup. She finally began to accept him slowly, starting with a friend, which was exactly what he was happy to see.

At the beginning, everyone in the cadres was very puzzled when they saw such a white-faced scholar sitting in a high position, and when they heard that he was Ning Wei, many generals gasped. Everyone knows that he not only came up with the idea to save Xiangyang, but also heard that after the big boss was injured, he took the big boss all the way out of the siege. He and his servant were no ordinary people.

Lan Jing'an walked up to Divine Doctor Jiang again. She deliberately arranged the position of Doctor Jiang next to Xie Weining, also because she was afraid that the two of them would be bored. She had already observed, and for some reason, the relationship between these men, who were huge in age and enough to be father and son, was not bad, and they could always talk together during meals.

She raised her glass to Doctor Jiang: "Thank you for guarding General Lu for me and giving me no worries." And saved my life again and again. A toast! I also hope that we can achieve victory as soon as possible, and join the marshals and them, so that your father and son will not be separated again. ”

Jiang Xianlin didn't expect that the Great Secretary would deliberately toast himself at such a major banquet, so he hurriedly bowed down to thank him and drank a cup.

After drinking the six cups with everyone, Lan Jing'an asked the singers and dancers who had been arranged before to come up and perform, so that everyone could relax and eat and drink. She continued to take Biluan and toast one by one. She then saluted Feng Shen alone, without Feng Shen carrying her out that night, she would have been a prisoner of Dayong by now.

When she drank it around, her tongue was a little bigger. She still asked Bi Luan to remind everyone that it was okay to drink happily, but she was not allowed to make any unseemly things in the General's Mansion.

She accompanied everyone for a while, but she couldn't hold it anymore, so she withdrew first. As soon as Xie Weining saw her leave, he immediately withdrew from the table and quietly followed behind her.
