Chapter 80: The Qinglou Banquet

When it comes to eating and drinking in the Qinglou, it should be called eating flower wine. It's not that I haven't eaten flower wine and wrapped green, so is the flower banquet in Shenglong Building in Bianjing considered flower wine?

If you say that the last Hundred Flowers Banquet was elegant, this time it is really vulgar. Hong Ba called more than a dozen girls to take turns to accompany Bao Qing, but Hong Ba's own hands were touched one by one.

Bao Qing secretly rejoiced, fortunately he didn't let Zhanfang Cao Yun follow, otherwise how would he be acting on the spot. Even so, when that Hongba stretched his thick palm directly into the woman's dress, Bao Qing couldn't help blushing a little.

"Don't like it? Also, we don't have any good goods here. What about changing it for you? Hey, you Oiran Jade! Hurry up and let her come out, damn, we rough people are here, you don't want to see it, why don't you come out to meet the people when Master Qin sent Bao to come today? Hong Ba opened his voice and shouted.

When Wang Fakui saw it, he couldn't help but coax, but Zhong Shan's face was expressionless.

"Master Bao, let's drink first, come on!" Zhizhou Zhuang Lei persuaded.

"If you don't come out again, Lao Tzu will demolish this ** building." Hong Ba shouted.

Sure enough, this method worked, and after a while, a girl who looked like a maid came, walked in front of everyone, and said crisply: "Ladies and gentlemen, our young lady will come out!" Please wait. ”

Bao Qing looked at this girl, but she was a raw water spirit, a delicate face, and an emerald green floral skirt, as if she was not contaminated with rouge and dust at all.

"Isn't your young lady a bitch?" After that Hongba finished speaking, he dragged the little maid with one hand, lifted the girl's skirt and stretched out his hand to wipe it off.

Bao Qing's eyes shrank, and although the maid's legs were white, they seemed to be very strong and powerful. Strange, the maid of the Oiran of the Qinglou, can she do hard work? Why do these legs look so strong, do you work out every day? Bao Qing thought about it, and suddenly thought of Cao Yun's sturdy and powerful legs, heh, have you also practiced? Bao Qinggang wanted to see what was going on, but then he thought that Zhanzhao's brother-in-law was still around, how dare he see more.

Hong Bayin laughed a few times, and said with a little embarrassment: "Lord Bao, we are rough people, no more than Lord Bao, who likes to go straight, just now Lord Bao frowned, like my Hong Ba's approach is too rude." ”

"It's okay, it's okay! You continue! Bao Qing said, but he secretly scolded himself in his heart, you can also say this, looking at the pain of this little girl, those eyes are only staring at herself, I am afraid that I want to save others.

"Master Bao, drink and drink!" Zhizhou Zhuang Lei continued to persuade.

After a while, the door opened, and a woman with a beautiful figure walked in slowly, Bao Qing's eyes were suddenly attracted, depressed, you are an escort, even if you are an oiran, how can you cover your face to meet a guest!

"Haha, Xiaoyu is here! Good! That Hongba was obviously in a hurry, and when he saw this little jade, his eyes were about to fall off.

Bao Qing was a little puzzled, and couldn't help asking, "Manager Hong, have you seen the true face of this little jade?" ”

As soon as these words came out, several people present shook their heads, obviously never seeing it.

Bao Qing couldn't help but scold to himself, they're all pigs, they haven't seen their true faces and become like this? Even if this Xiaoyu is a devil figure, what if she has a devil's face?

"It's not good, if we spend a lot of money and find an ugly girl to fool us, won't we lose a lot." Bao Qing said with a smile.

"Hey, let's do it, I'll let Master Bao test it after drinking, haha!" The group laughed.

That Xiaoyu didn't say a word from beginning to end, just walked to the side of this Hongba and pulled the maid away. Then, the maid turned to everyone and said, "Miss will receive Master Qinchabao alone tonight!" ”

"That's it? What is this? Bao Qing couldn't help asking.

As soon as Bao Qing finished speaking, more than a dozen girls on the side surrounded Bao Qing.

"My lord, you can't touch it just by looking at it, it's not as good as us!"

Seeing this, Bao Qing had a headache.

Na Hongba surprisingly did not object, but said surprisingly: "My lord, don't worry, this Xiaoyu will definitely let her accompany you tonight." ”

"You all go down first, we have some business to discuss." Hong Ba then said to the girls.

"My lord, will the imperial court send troops to our aid? I'm waiting for the end of the panic now, I'm looking forward to the reinforcements coming, and I don't know when the Liao people will attack! Hong Ba asked.

Bao Qing looked at the people at the table and asked, "But how do I feel, everyone here doesn't seem to be afraid of the Liao army." Aren't the people still living as usual and not panicking? ”

"Huh? My lord, do you know that this Bazhou City has changed hands three times. The emperor of the Liao people is now very smart, unlike before, as soon as he breaks through the state city, he will slaughter the city. Not only do they not slaughter the city, but they also restrain the army, and as long as the people pay a certain tax, they can still live well. And now it is winter, and the Liao people are short of materials, and they are bound to launch an offensive. Zhuang Lei complained.

When Bao Qing heard this, he nodded unconsciously, so it was, he thought that these people were not afraid of death, it turned out that these people were neutral.

"The military officer doesn't understand, so the officer will ask you, can you still hold it now?"

Na Hongba stood up and said: "Now there are only two armies left that I can mobilize, and Li Qing led the army to judge, then it was Li Qing's subordinate Zhang Xu who attacked your lord last night." And these two armies were responsible for repairing the walls and protecting them. If the Liao people attack at this moment, it is estimated that the city will be broken immediately! ”

"Then why don't the Liao people come to break the city?" Bao Qing has always felt strange, the protection of this Bazhou City is not strict, the city wall is broken in many places, and the cavalry of the Liao people can drive straight in.

"I'm afraid this is the credit of General Cao, and there are nearly 10,000 forbidden troops outside this Bazhou City to contain this Liao army. Moreover, the Liao people were afraid that the army would enter directly, and the party members would not be able to live. ”

"Then where is General Cao's specific location?" Bao Qing asked, Cao Xi's situation is really concerned about herself.

"It should be trapped a hundred miles north of Bazhou, so we implore Lord Bao to let the official family send reinforcements as soon as possible!"

In fact, regarding reinforcements, Bao Qing knew that Renzong would definitely send them, it was only a matter of time.

After this luncheon, Bao Qing returned to his residence and carefully recalled what he had heard and seen today.

"Zhanzhao, what do you think these people mean today?"

"My lord, why don't you ask about the situation of the chief manager Wu Jun today? Also, why don't you check the corpse of Wu Jun, but go to see the soldiers who died in Yingxiao first? ”

Bao Qing said with a smile: "I originally wanted to go straight in and investigate the cause of Wu Jun's death. Because our mission is to solve the case and find out about Wu Jun's assassination. However, do you think I can find Wu Jun's body if I go to check it immediately? If they don't take the initiative, can I ask? Therefore, this matter can only be investigated secretly. But there is one thing that may have surprised them, and that is to immediately inspect the corpses of Yingxiao's soldiers and investigate the matter of Yingxiao. ”

"Oh? Isn't the assassination of the governor Wu Jun our top priority? Zhan Zhao asked.

"On the surface, do you think that if I report the results of the investigation into Wu Jun's death to the official family, the official family will be satisfied? The official family will not care about the death of a governor, nor will they care about a camp incident. What the official family cares about is the stability of his country, and he smelled a hint of conspiracy from behind this incident. ”

Bao Qing paused and then said: "Bazhou's three changes of ownership, I asked the official family clearly before I came, and the official family bluntly said that the gains and losses of Bazhou do not matter, because Bazhou was lost, and after the winter passed, as soon as the army arrived, the Liao army, which was not good at defending the city, quickly retreated. It's just that what I didn't expect was that the people here didn't regard themselves as Song people. This is really a bit strange, I'm afraid it's not just as this Hongba said, just because the Liao people don't slaughter the city, they don't care. ”

"But it makes sense!"

"It seems to make sense, but it doesn't make sense at all! Zhanzhao, think about it, are you loyal to this Great Song Dynasty? Do you think you will work hard for this Great Song Emperor? Bao Qing asked.

Zhan Zhao was silent, and Bao Qing dared to ask.

"But if I ask you, who will you help when you see Song Liao going to war?"

"Of course it's our Great Song!" Zhan Zhao hurriedly said.

"Therefore, although our people are sometimes disloyal to this emperor, they are almost unanimously loyal to their own race, to their own country." Bao Qing did not extend the story, this is the assertion of later psychology about the sense of belonging, and the category of identity is different. Of course, there are exceptions, such as the Han Annihilation that appeared.

"What do you mean? All the people of Bazhou City have problems? Zhan Zhao asked in surprise.

"It's not clear for the time being, but maybe some of these people really have problems, just look at the Liao army attacking. If the people take weapons to fight or run for their lives, then it is fine. Otherwise, I'm afraid it wouldn't be ordinary people. ”

Zhan Zhao nodded, and then asked: "Then we will investigate Yingxiao as soon as we come, and we really checked it correctly, they didn't even dispose of the corpse, and threw it directly." ”

"Hey, it's not completely certain who has a conspiracy yet, but this Hongba, when he came to rescue us today, actually brought dozens of people over. It really makes me suspicious. One possibility may be that it is really a dilemma, the soldiers defending the city cannot move, and they are afraid that something will happen to the Qin mission, so they have to personally bring dozens of guards. Another possibility is that he came to make sure we were killed! If we are all wiped out, he will come to collect the corpses. If we are alive and well, he pretends to come to our rescue. Bao Qing said.

"What do you think?"

"It's mostly the latter, when this Hongba came to see me, I was surprised, a martial artist who killed on the battlefield was actually nervous when he saw me, and he should have forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart. Although he forced himself to be calm, his hands betrayed him, and his hands clutched his armor tightly, and when he saw that I didn't ask too much and said directly, he suddenly relaxed. This is actually a manifestation of a ghost in the heart. ”

"Huh? Why didn't I pay attention? Zhan Zhao was a little surprised.

"Zhan Zhao, do you think that last night's battle between more than 300 of us and 1,000 people actually won at an easy price, is it a big victory? Isn't it incredible? ”

"Yes, we all say that adults are gods, haha, next time you can be a general and lead troops to fight."

"Hehe, even you feel shocked, incredible, this Hongba, who has been on the battlefield all year round, actually has no surprise and shock. Is this in the past? So, this Hongba ......"
