Chapter 17: Jokes

When Chu Nan arrived at the mansion, he saw that the people were almost there, so he sent one of himself, and immediately reacted.
This is clearly Guo Liang calculating himself again. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Guo Liang is the governor of Yongzhou, Chu Mad and Yang Shouye are not there, of course, they are the number one people who should be.
Since it was stated in advance that it was a reception banquet and the location was set at the government office, Guo Liang was naturally the host, and of course Guo Liang was responsible for receiving guests.
Guo Liang only needed to ask the person who went to pick up Chu Nan to go a little later, and delay a little longer on the way, which successfully caused the current situation of Chu Nan "playing a big name".
No matter how convenient Chu Nan is, if he offends the many civil and military officials in Yongzhou City, the consequences will be worrying.
Just being late for a while and letting others wait may not be offended, but Chu Nan's arrogant and rude impression has probably been engraved into the minds of many guests present.
.................................... Guo Liang saw Chu Nan come in, stood up and didn't mean to go out to greet him, and said with a smile: "Why did General Chu come so late......?
Since the Lord Zhizhou all stood up, of course the others didn't dare to sit down, and they all got up in a mess, and a few of them could vaguely hear a few muttering complaints.
Chu Nan smiled and didn't say anything to accuse.
On the main table, Chu Maan, Li Zhen and others were already seated, and the remaining seat was naturally reserved for Chu Nan.
It's just that the position is at the head of Leng Yun, and it stands to reason that Chu Nan should at least sit above Li Zhen.
The officialdom is the most particular about the seat, and the people at the banquet have discovered the subtlety of the last vacant position, and they are all secretly watching the two immortal figures clash.
Chu Nan walked to the front of the seat, pointed to the chair and did not speak.
Guo Liang seemed to have just found out, and hurriedly stood up and walked over to accuse: "Oops...... It was the negligence of the subordinates...... How can you put Lord Chu's seat here? I'll let someone move General Chu's position!"
If Chu Nan couldn't stand Guo Liang's squeeze, he would sit down in this seat, naturally admitting his low status and humiliating himself.
But how easy is the position to move?
Everyone else has already sat down, if they want to move their positions, almost everyone at the main table will follow suit, and it will be another trouble, and Chu Nan, the culprit who caused the trouble, will be hated and complained.
"No need............ Chu Nan said with a chuckle, "This can be regarded as a private banquet for Lord Zhizhou, and everyone is not wearing official uniforms, so they are not so particular, everyone can sit down at will." Did you say, Lord Zhizhou?"
Guo Liang was a little surprised by Chu Nan's reaction, and glanced at Chu Nan suspiciously, seeing that Chu Nan was willing to bow his head and pay attention to his demeanor, he accepted it when he saw it, and said with a smile: "That's right, everyone just sit casually ......."
Everyone was a little disappointed, they didn't arrive first, this little general Chu Nan had just been stiff outside the yamen, and he was subdued by Lord Zhizhou so quickly.
Chu Nan nodded with a smile, walked directly to Guo Liang's seat and sat down, leaned comfortably on the back of the chair and sighed: "I think this position is very good...... Just sit here...... That position over there will be given to Lord Zhizhou......"
Guo Liang's smile froze on his face, and it instantly became gloomy.
.................................... Guo Liang, as the governor of Yongzhou and the host of this banquet, of course sat in the main seat, with Chu Maan, Li Zhen and others on the left, and several big names in Yongzhou on the right, who were considered to accompany the wine.
After Chu Nan sat down in Guo Liang's seat, everyone was silent.
If Chu Nan's unexpected tardiness makes people feel a little arrogant, this time it is too arrogant to occupy Guo Liang's seat!
The sauce is better than the fish!
However, now that Chu Nan is in the limelight and famous, Chu Nan is the first to take the lead, so strong that he even dares to cut Guo Liang's face in public, and of course the others are silent, and no one dares to make accusations.
Even if Guo Liang calculated Chu Nan, he left a little leeway, but he didn't expect Chu Nan to leave no leeway.
Although Guo Liang also said that this is a private banquet, everyone can sit at will.
But Guo Liang is the governor of the state, the master, this is the Yongzhou Mansion, even if he endures the humiliation and sits in the lowest seat, others dare to sit on him with peace of mind?
Li Zhen has a heart, but it's a pity that he sits in Chu Mad, although it is better than the lowest position, if he lets Guo Liang sit down, it will also humiliate him a little, but it will make him not a person inside and out.
Chu Nan generously asked someone to change the wine glasses, saucers and chopsticks, looked at Guo Liang with a tangled face in surprise, frowned and asked, "What is Lord Guo doing standing?"
Naturally, the others looked at each other.
In the end, it was the people on the Yongzhou side who each moved down one position in turn, vacating the position on Chu Nan's right hand and letting Guo Liang sit down, which solved the embarrassing scene.
Guo Liang was a little unnatural, picked up his wine glass and was about to say a toast.
Chu Nan sat on the main seat, while inspecting the dishes on the table, picked up chopsticks and knocked on the table and said, "Let's eat!"
Guo Liang swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
.................................... This feast is very tasteless.
Guo Liang's face was gloomy, and he finally took the time to finish the toast that he had prepared for a long time.
Chu Nan was not affected, he didn't care about the eyes of others at all, he ate and drank heavily, and praised the wine and food from time to time, as if he was a guest who really enjoyed the host's hospitality.
Guo Liang was a powerful character who had been up and down in the Huan Sea for half his life, and quickly adjusted his mentality, and asked with concern: "I heard that this mission has had many twists and turns along the way, and it has also changed the marching route, and it is very difficult to cross the mountains and mountains......
Chu Nan looked at Guo Liang and asked in surprise: "I heard, who said it? Could it be that there is still Lord Guo's eyeliner in this mission?"
"Uh............" Guo Liang was choked, almost biting his tongue, and said with a dry smile: "Lord Chu is joking...... How can there be an official in the mission......"
"Oh...... Then how do you know?" Chu Nan sneered in his heart, but continued to pretend to be stupid, and asked coldly, "People in the mission have contact with outsiders without permission! It is even more taboo to leak information to the outside world! Who leaked the secret and asked Master Guo to tell me, I will definitely punish him severely!"
Where did Guo Liang think that Chu Nan would be entangled in this issue, and he didn't know whether the mission was going to be sealed to the outside world, but he was frightened by Chu Nan's attitude, and he couldn't say that this was His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes telling him, and after thinking for a while, he frowned and said, "Actually, this ............"
"Hahaha............" Chu Nan suddenly laughed, and slapped the table exaggeratedly, which startled the people present.
Chu Nan reached out and pressed Guo Liang's shoulder very affectionately, and laughed: "Lord Guo, what are you doing so nervously? I'm just joking......... There's no secrecy in the mission......"
The corners of Guo Liang's eyes jumped, and he also laughed dryly.
Of course, the others didn't dare not laugh, as if Chu Nan's joke was really funny, and they also laughed dryly.
"Uh............" Dugu Qiu was dazed, looked at everyone laughing, and wondered: "Is it really funny?"
So, the laughter was even louder!
