There is a lot of laughter in the inner hall, and the lights in the outer courtyard are also brilliant, and more than a dozen large braziers of pine oil surround the courtyard wall, reflecting the faces of everyone in the courtyard red.

Xi Wei brought a total of 112 elites to Deyang this time, all of whom were his old subordinates. Compared with Deyang's side and Gao Ming's men, these one hundred and twelve sergeants were all wearing neat armor. Each man was armed with a bow and arrow, a spear, a shield, and a horizontal sword more than five feet long. Xi Wei believed that with these more than 100 elite soldiers who could fight well and cooperate with tacit understanding, they had a conflict in Deyang City, and it was enough to suppress the many rabble in Deyang City who were not even equipped with weapons.

Xi Wei has been in battle for a long time, and he and his twenty-six men were besieged by thousands of people in Didao. He commanded the crowd to form a circle and shoot in turns, but in the end, he killed the thousands of barbarians with light bows and arrows and rudimentary swords, leaving behind a hundred and ten corpses, and then scattered and fled. In the eyes of people like Xi Wei, who have fought old battles, no matter how many people there are, they are not afraid in the eyes of these well-equipped battle-hardened warriors.

Before he came, he had also heard the story of the clever Yandao People's Volunteers who fled in embarrassment after killing more than 2,000 displaced people with 500 people in a battle under Deyang City, which made him look down on this people's volunteer army who didn't know what it was. But if there is any fear, he will not. On more than one occasion, he won more with less in battles with the barbarians. He just had a gut feeling that the Yandao People's Volunteers sounded like a battle-hardened army, and that the homeless people were still a rabble.

What's more, the Marquis of the Yandao Pavilion, who was famous for killing Shen Xiu, is now in Jiangyang, and there are only more than 100 soldiers in Deyang City.

He was reluctant to take the initiative to provoke Gao Ming.

When Shen Xiu was in Chang'an, Xi Wei knew Shen Xiu as a person. However, at that time, Shen Xiunai was high and was a confidant of Emperor Fulun of Zhao, while Xi Wei was just an insignificant Qu commander under the Western Army. He knew Shen Xiu, but Shen Xiu didn't know him.

For Shen Xiu, he has three points of contempt, three points of admiration, and four points of fear in his heart.

He despised Shen Xiu for being undisciplined and unscrupulous in order to achieve his goals.

What he admires is that Shen Xiu is very deep in the city, his joy and anger are invisible, and he is like a poisonous snake hidden in the depths, as long as he bites it, he will not let go.

At that time, there was no one in the Western army who was not afraid of this poisonous snake.

For Gao Ming and Chen Rong to kill Shen Xiu together, Xi Wei felt great from the bottom of his heart, and he also admired it from the bottom of his heart. He had also heard about the scene of the siege of Shen Xiu in King Wen's Mansion at that time. Chen Rongnai is the son of Chen Ziyin, who is invincible in the world, and he wants to cultivate himself as not weaker than himself. is such a person, along with a hundred and ten monks, who couldn't take Shen Xiu alone, but in the end he was taken down by Gao Ming alone. Although Xi Wei thinks very highly of himself on weekdays, he is not an arrogant person who does not know the height of the sky, and he knows in his heart that this servant pavilion marquis's cultivation should be far away from himself.

The dignified Jinyang royal family is willing to recruit such a poor son as a son-in-law, then this person must have his merits.

But if you don't want to provoke, you don't want to provoke, Xi Wei has already made up his mind, if he really wants to clash with this unknown so-called people's volunteers, he will not back down.

No matter how you say it, he was sent by the King of Hejian, and he was also the one who held the court scepter, and he had the name of righteousness, even if it was stolen.

Qiao Feng didn't visit him, which made him very disappointed, but also a little lucky. With Qiao Feng's qualifications, if he really wanted to come to see him, he really didn't know what to do.

Meeting, right?

It's not appropriate, right?

If Qiao Feng is a monk certified by the imperial court, he can also meet him as a monk. But Qiao Feng is just a civilian identity at all.

This also made him despise the combat effectiveness of the People's Volunteers in Deyang City.

The person at the head is only a commoner, which means that there are no monks below at all. In the Great Jin Dynasty, no monk was willing to live under the common people, which was more uncomfortable than killing them.

Perhaps the outcasts were defeated under Deyang City that day, firstly, because those homeless people were a group of rabble, and secondly, it was estimated that the legendary Yandao Pavilion Marquis's cultivation was really amazing, and he was ten thousand enemies.

It was he who ostensibly promised Xin Ran to send Xin Wan to him as a concubine, and he also specially instructed his cronie Meng Fan to be more vigilant and not to take it lightly.

Meng Fan is his subordinate in the Western Army for many years, his fellow countryman, and he is absolutely assured. The two have experienced countless battlefield battles together, and it is a lifelong friendship. Although the identity is a relationship between superiors and subordinates, he is a brother on the inside.

Meng Fan's cultivation talent is far less good than Xi Wei's, but Meng Fan is very cautious and cautious, and he is Xi Wei's most reassuring person.

At this time, the people in the outer courtyard were full of voices, shouting and shouting one after another. The man in the army is the best thing in this cup. In the past, the worst quality wine could make these perennial people smile at the knife's edge, and at this time, Xin Hui sent the world-famous wine from Jiangyang.

Meng Fan sat at the table, taking a small sip of the wine in the bowl with a shallow bowl, but his eyes scanned the people in the courtyard from time to time. Their spears stood in four piles on the four corners of the courtyard, flanked by tall shields, flanked by bows and arrows against the wall, helmets and even swords. This made Meng Fan frown.

His initial order was for the big guys to pack up their spears and bows and shields, but they couldn't leave their swords and armor. But these soldiers drank so much that everyone in the venue had already taken off their helmets, and many people thought that the armor and waist knives were in the way, so they even took them off and put them aside.

Meng Fan knew he couldn't say anything.

The big guy arrived here from distant Chang'an, and it was hard to have a hearty drink, which was a rare opportunity to maintain morale. The place where he sat was less than five feet from the nearest gun carriage, and the fact that he could reach it with a single stride made him feel a lot more at ease. As long as the knives and guns are in hand, he believes that the more than 100 of them are not afraid of anything.

At this moment, there was a sound of ox carts running over the bluestone road outside the courtyard wall. Although Meng Fan's cultivation is not high, his ear power is not weak. When he heard the voice, he could already tell in his mind that at least three or four ox carts were approaching, and that they must be full of things.

"The people of Shu are really rich, in our Yongzhou, eating and drinking like this, no big family can bear it. Meng Fan thought to himself, "I also drank a lot today, and if I let these Qiu Ba drink like this, it is estimated that many people will be drunk." ”

Thinking so, he craned his neck, drank the wine from the bowl, and was about to get up and walk towards the door.
