Chapter 62: The Feast of the Hung Gate?
Lu Meng looked at Zhao Yan, shook hands and said with an indifferent expression: "Lu Ziming, who is rich in Runan, is currently the head of the Flame Army, I don't know what Zhao County Commander has to say?" β
"Fupi people? Listening to General Lu's accent, it seems to be a Jiangdong accent? Zhao Yan was surprised.
Lu Meng said: "When I was young, Runan was in turmoil, so I crossed the Jiangnan with my family!" β
"I see, but it's no wonder, over the years, Runan has been a yellow scarf, Yuan Shu has been a scourge, and now there are bandits rampant everywhere, isn't General Lu in Jiangnan? Why are you working for the Flame Army now? Zhao Yan asked.
Lu Meng turned his eyes to Li Tong beside Zhao Yan, and found that this person was quite different, and he didn't look like a guard in his expression, he said: "There are too many problems with Zhao County's order, if you don't hurry up and speed up, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with Xin Cai tonight!" β
Zhao Yan was not embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go on the road!" β
Several people immediately hit the road and walked in the direction of Xincai.
After crossing the Rushui to the east, in order to let the horses rest, the men did not gallop again.
Zhao Yan said again: "I see that General Lu is young and heroic, and he must be extraordinary in martial arts, why is he just a tun chief?" Could it be that Qin Feng, the commander of the Flame Army, doesn't have the ability to discern talents? β
Lu Meng said: "I am full of talents in the Flame Army, I have been promoted as the commander of the tun, Zhao County Commander doesn't have to care about it, let's worry about myself more!" Messengers and lobbyists are often the most likely to die, and our army has sent someone to inform the commander that perhaps a cauldron has been erected in Xincai City, and a fire is burning under the cauldron, and the cauldron is full of oil waiting for Zhao County's order! β
Zhao Yan is twenty-nine years old this year, he was originally a person with great ambitions, but now he is only a county order, Lu Meng's words also made him feel a little timid for a while, it was the first time to be a messenger lobbyist, he really had no experience, he only read the book that Zhang Yi and his ilk were crisscrossing between countries with a mouth, so it was not desirable, but thinking that these predecessors were only afraid to walk on the tip of the knife every time they went out, I couldn't help but feel a little afraid in my heart, after all, Qin Feng was not from a family, but really the head of a thief.
On the martial arts arena behind the Xincai County Ya, Qin Feng was practicing his bow and arrow again, and he would not stop without breaking a bowstring every day.
"Du Wei, Ancheng County Du sent a messenger to report, Lang Ling was appointed by the imperial court to ask to see Du Wei, Du Xiao Wei sent Tun Chang Lu Ziming with ten soldiers to escort along the way, about tonight before sunset!" An official in charge of the communication links in the counties under the Flame Army came over to report to Qin Feng.
Qin Feng stopped, turned around and asked, "You mean Lang Ling Ling Zhao Yan?" β
The liaison officer replied: "It's Zhao Yan!" β
Qin Feng handed the bow and arrow to the armor soldier next to him, and ordered: "Report this matter to Yang Changshi to know, and invite Yang Changshi to the inner hall to discuss matters!" β
"No!"
When Qin Feng arrived at the county yaenitang, Yang Hong had already arrived, and a servant was cooking tea.
"I've seen the lord!" Yang Hong stood up and saluted.
Qin Feng pressed his hand and knelt opposite Yang Hong, "Lang Ling ordered Zhao Yan to come to see me, in the opinion of Mr., what is the reason why he came this time?" β
Yang Hong said with a smile: "I'm afraid that I was assigned by Li Tong to come here, and the purpose should be to stabilize the lord, or it may not have ulterior motives!" β
The two can only guess, and whether they guess right or not has to say two things, after all, there is too little information to be fully analyzed.
In the evening, LΓΌ Meng escorted Zhao Yan and the three of them to Xincai with the armor soldiers, and according to Qin Feng's instructions, the county government sent officials to be responsible for receiving them and arranging for them to stay in the pavilion.
At dinner, Qin Feng and Yang Hong shared dinner.
"Sir, why don't you go to the pavilion to meet Zhao Yan?"
Qin Feng's words made Yang Hong stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "The lord is a little impatient, Zhao Yan must have something to do when he comes, he should be the one who is in a hurry, if he takes the initiative to go, he will guess that I am going to test him, and he will definitely take precautions!" β
"Now, this person is in our jurisdiction, and we have time to find out his intentions here, just to find out his intentions, and it will not be too late for the lord to see him again!"
Qin Feng nodded after hearing this, this makes sense, the longer Zhao Yan lives here, the more anxious he must be, the more anxious he is, the more anxious he is, the easier it is to make mistakes, and the easier it is to expose flaws!
The building was all pre-arranged people, and the actions of Zhao Yan and others were all under surveillance.
The next day, Zhao Yanxiang asked to see Qin Feng, and the officials had to report, but the reply was that Qin Feng was busy inspecting the spring plowing and production in various counties, leading the people in various places to open up wasteland and farm land.
This reply made Zhao Yan and Li Tong look at each other.
In the room of the pavilion, Li Daodao: "Boran, a thief leader actually went to inspect spring plowing and production, and led the people to open up wasteland and farm, do you believe it?" β
Zhao Yan said: "Of course I don't believe it, but what can we do? I have no way of knowing if this is true or not, but one thing is for sure, Qin Feng doesn't want to see me now! β
Li Tong said: "It seems that this person is not a reckless, short-tempered bandit leader, we should not underestimate this person!" β
"If he was an ordinary thief, Cai Taishou would not have failed miserably in his hands, this person is just afraid that he is not easy to fool! Maybe he has a wise and far-sighted person under his command to give him advice! Zhao Yan said as he drank tea.
Li Tong frowned, "If he hasn't seen us all the time, won't we have to wait here all the time?" β
Zhao Yan smiled and said: "No, it is not good for us to stay here for a long time, but it is also not good for Qin Feng, the news we brought will definitely spread, and the longer it is, the more it will arouse the suspicion of the Yuan family and Liu Bei!" β
Li Tong thought about it, too, there are people from the Yuan family everywhere in Runan, maybe there are slaves and clansmen of the Yuan family in the Ya of Xincai County, or there are detailed works secretly planted by the Yuan family, and the news will be transmitted back to the Yuan family sooner or later.
For three days, Qin Feng didn't see Zhao Yan and didn't want to delay for a few more days, but Lu Sheng sent news that Yuan Li had left Pingyu and came in the direction of Xincai.
"Sir, it seems that this old thing Yuan Li is only afraid to know the news of Zhao Yan's arrival, or does he want us to send troops to help Liu Bei conquer the city?" Qin Feng received the message and asked Yang Hong.
Yang Hong pondered, "There are two possibilities, but fortunately, we have roughly figured out the purpose of Zhao Yan's visit this time, and it's time for the lord to meet Zhao Yan!" β
"Then please ask Mr. to arrange it!"
"No!"
That night, under Yang Hong's arrangement, Qin Feng set up a banquet to invite Zhao Yan, accompanied by Yang Hong, Yan Xiang, Huang Yi, Lu Meng, Chen Zhi and others.
When Zhao Yan took Li Tong and another entourage to the county office, no one greeted him, only Lu Meng, who escorted him and robbed them, led them into the inner hall.
Walking into the inner hall, Zhao Yan saw Qin Feng sitting on the main seat, Qin Feng's body was strong and burly, and his young and resolute appearance made him feel a little incredible, this image was very different from the image of the leader of the thieves in his mind.
After studying Qin Feng these days, Zhao Yan also knew a little bit about Qin Feng, and he didn't expect Qin Feng to stand up and take the initiative to greet him.
"Lang Ling ordered Zhao Yan to see Commander Qin!"
If it weren't for the name of the Flame Army, Zhao Yan wouldn't know how to call Qin Feng, would he want him to say that Lang Lingling had seen the leader of Qin? He is a county magistrate, and Qin Feng is just a thief leader, so he is very self-deprecating.
Qin Feng raised his hand: "Zhao County Commander is polite, these days, the county government affairs are busy, and there are a lot of military affairs in the army, I really can't spare time to see Zhao County Order, I don't know if Zhao County Commander is still used to living in the pavilion these days?" β
Zhao Yan arched his hand: "Thank you Commander Qin for remembering, I have a habit of living!" β
"Very good!" Qin Feng nodded and invited Zhao Yan to take a seat.
After Zhao Yan thanked him, he came to a long table and knelt down.
Qin Feng noticed Li Tong behind Zhao Yan, and felt that this person was extraordinary, how could the guards of a county order have such momentum? asked: "Who is Zhao Xianling's side?" β
Li Tong didn't expect Qin Feng to notice him, he could only stand up and hug his fists at this time: "I've seen Commander Qin, the villain is the county commander Li Yong!" β
Qin Feng pondered in his heart, this guy can't be some celebrity pretending to be a guard, right?
Although he was suspicious in his heart, Qin Feng didn't care too much, he waved his hand and commanded: "What a strong man!" Come on, prepare a seat for this strong man Li Yong! β
"No!"
The two armor soldiers quickly brought a long table and put it next to Zhao Yan, but Li Tong did not refuse, and after thanking him, he came to the long table and knelt down, but he didn't know that this caused Qin Feng's suspicions even more, if it was an ordinary guard, how could there be a reason not to shirk?
Qin Feng pressed the suspicion in his heart, clapped his hands, and several dancing girls came from the front with small steps, and the musicians next to them began to play music, and under the accompaniment of ancient music, the dancers danced.
The servants and maids came in with plates, dishes, wine and meat, and arranged them neatly on the long table in front of each person, and there was a maid on each side of the long table who poured wine.
"Zhao County Ling is a guest from afar, please drink this cup!" Qin Feng picked up the wine cup and said to Zhao Yan.
"Thank you, Commander!" Zhao Yan picked up the wine cup and drank it.
According to the rules at this time, Yang Hong started to drink the order, Huang Yi, Lu Meng, Chen Dao, Li Tong and others had never read and couldn't play at all, and Qin Feng could barely get better.
And Yang Hong, Yan Xiang, Zhao Yan and others are masters in this, and they have a lot of fun.
After the first game, Qin Feng gave Chen Zhi a look, Chen Zhi understood, got up and walked out to Qin Feng and hugged his fist and said: "Lord, we rough people don't know how to write and ink, and we can't drink alcohol, I intend to make a set of swordsmanship to cheer up Lord and you!" β
Qin Feng smiled: "Very good, very good, then let's start!" β
"No!" Chen Zhi agreed, took off the saber from his waist, pulled out the scabbard and threw it aside, and immediately began to dance the sword.
This swordsmanship does not have the slightest bells and whistles, every move is murderous, the move is deadly, the sword light is shining, the chill is a little bit, and the cold hair stands up.
It wasn't until Chen finished collecting his sword that Zhao Yan found that his back was all drenched with sweat, and Li Tong, who was sitting beside him, was not very happy, with a solemn expression.
"Let the lord and you laugh!" Chen Zhi put his sword into the sheath and saluted everyone.
