The summer night came late, it was already a moment of time, but the afterglow of the setting sun was still there, but I saw that half of the sky was full of colorful glow, like a full swing, and the scene was undoubtedly extremely beautiful, so that Pang Tong, who was sitting in the courtyard drinking alone, was addicted to it, and his eyes looked up at the fiery red in a daze, and the wine bowl in his hand was not even brought to his lips.

"Tuk, tuk, tuk......"

Just when Pang Tong was drunk, the knock on the door suddenly sounded, and even Pang Tong woke up from his reverie.

"Dare to ask Mr. Pang Gongshiyuan?"

Although he was very unhappy to be disturbed by others, Pang Tong still got up stupidly, paced to the door, pushed the hidden door open, and immediately found that the middle-aged scribe standing outside the door was a strange middle-aged scribe, followed by several entourages, Pang Tong couldn't help but be stunned, and before he could ask, he saw that the middle-aged scribe had politely bowed his hand and asked a sentence.

"It is Pang Tong, I don't know if Mr. is ......"

Although he was sure that he didn't know the middle-aged scribe in front of him, it could be seen that he was very courteous, and Pang Tong didn't want to lose his courtesy.

"Some, Xue Yi, who is engaged in Bohai County, is ordered by the lord of my family to visit Mr. Feng Yan. ”

The middle-aged scribe was Xue Yi, after finding Xu Shu, he hurried to Pang Tong's residence, the reason why he was in such a hurry was because he was now a messenger, and it was not easy to act alone.

"Oh, Mr. Xue, please come in and talk. ”

Hearing Xue Yi report his own home, Pang Tong instantly guessed the other party's intention, his eyebrows couldn't help but rise, the already ugly face inevitably became more obscene, but Xue Yi did not have the slightest emotion, still a respectful look, as soon as he saw this, Pang Tong's heart was full of hope, no side, he was able to go out of Jingzhou because of Pang Degong's recommendation, but because of his poor appearance, he was not reused by Liu Biao, only hung up a false title, and was thinking about resigning from the official position to go elsewhere, Jiangdong and even Xu are within the scope of Pang Tong's consideration, but he can't help but worry about suffering from Jingzhou's general setbacks, and now when he saw that Gongsun Ming had also sent someone, he also had the idea of inspecting the other party.

Then Xue was cheeky. ”

Xue Yi was actually very surprised by Pang Tong's ugliness, but Gongsun had an explanation before he came, but he didn't dare to show the slightest disrespectful look.

"Drinkable?"

After letting Xue Yi into the courtyard, Pang Tong didn't say much to greet, so he just took an extra bowl from the kitchen, filled it with wine, put it in front of Xue Yi, and asked casually.

"Good. ”

Pang Tong didn't want to say much, so Xue Yi followed his wishes, and silently accompanied Pang Tong to drink three bowls in a row, but fortunately, he had a lot of wine, and it would not be a big deal.

"Do you have any orders from General Gongsun?"

Pang Tong's amount of wine is also extremely high, even if he has drunk a lot before, he can cook three bowls with Xue Yilian, and his face has not changed at all, but he did not persuade him to drink again, but asked a question in an indifferent tone.

"So that the gentleman learned that my father-in-law only had one word to say: the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are picturesque, and you can sway them. ”

Xue Yi was obviously waiting for Pang Tong's question, and gave the answer almost without thinking.

"When will Mr. Xue return?"

Hearing Xue Yi's answer, Pang Tong's eyes suddenly lit up, and the hand holding the wine bowl couldn't help but tremble because of this, but he didn't have any comment, and then changed the topic.

"Three days at the earliest. ”

Xue Yi came here to have only one task on the surface, that is, to discuss the possibility of the alliance with Liu Biao, in this regard, Liu Biao's attitude was very ambiguous, neither said no, nor agreed, but every day he was entertained with good wine and feasts, obviously not very interested in the alliance, and wanted Xue Yi to retreat from the difficulties, but because the real mission has not yet been achieved, Xue Yi has been relying on not leaving, and now the people who should be found have been almost found, only to send a letter to Longzhong, his task is over, and he can start at any time, but out of prudence, Xue Yi still left some more margin when answering Pang Tongzhi's question。

"Good, it's time to meet with Mr. halfway. ”

Pang Tong nodded thoughtfully, and then gave a clear promise.

"Thank you, Mr. Xue, I took my leave. ”

Hearing that Pang Tong agreed to go north, Xue Yi's goal of this trip was basically perfect, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy in his heart, thinking that he would be close to Pang Tong, a person who was destined to be reused by Gongsun Ming, but he suddenly remembered Gongsun Ming's explanation in advance, so he didn't dare to go at will, so he got up, bowed deeply to Pang Tong, and resigned.

"Youzhou, Youzhou!"

Pang Tong originally agreed to go to Youzhou, but he just wanted to see what was going on and then make a decision, but seeing Xue Yi behaving so extraordinary, he couldn't help but have a little more confidence and good impression of Gongsun Ming in his heart, and his heart to go to Youzhou became a little stronger......

"Report, my lord, Gongsun is too anxious to believe here, please take a look. ”

Just when Xue Yi was drinking with Pang Tong, Gongsun Ming, who had been busy all day, was also having dinner, and he had just picked up the bowl, and before he could take a few bites, he heard a rush of footsteps, and a sweaty messenger had already hurriedly rushed to the lobby, and he nodded to Gongsun Ming on one knee, raised a letter high above his head with both hands, and said a word out of breath.

"Hmm. ”

In order to ensure the concealment of the construction of the salt farm, these days, Gongsun Ming himself has never been to the salt farm, technical guidance, it can only rely on correspondence to deal with, and the letter correspondence between Gongsun Fan who sits in the salt field is a lot, has long been accustomed to it, at this time I can't help but think that Gongsun Fan has encountered a lot of technical difficulties, since I don't care much, casually snorted, then put down the chopsticks, reached out to take the letter, tore open the seal, poured out a letter from the inside, just looked, the eyes suddenly lit up, I couldn't help laughing out loud。

"Come, go, immediately call Zheng Cheng, the patriarch of the Zheng family. ”

Seeing that Gongsun Ming was excited, the people who were accompanying him couldn't help but be surprised, and the eyes that looked at Gongsun Ming were all inexplicable, but Gongsun Ming didn't say much to explain, just Lang Sheng broke off his throat, and one of his own guards hurriedly ran down the lobby after agreeing to the promise......
