Chapter 571: A Good Banquet Begins with a Demonstration
When night falls, the feast begins.
Although the economy of Luoyang County has always been underdeveloped, the life of the people in Luoyang County is not rich.
But it is clear that for these meat eaters, the barren county of Luoyang County has not affected their daily enjoyment of a good life.
And today, in order to lure Wang Sheng here, Xie Lian is even within the scope of his ability, and strives to make tonight's banquet the best.
When Jiang Wei came to the outside of the lobby, he smelled the aroma of wine one after another.
Compared with the Central Plains and the South, the wines of the North are more aromatic and of course more intoxicating.
Jiang Wei has also been a well-off person since he was a child, and after he smelled the bursts of aroma, he judged that the fine wine used in tonight's banquet could be regarded as the best in the entire Liangzhou.
If Jiang Wei had smelled such fine wine at the banquet in the past, a smile would naturally appear on his face.
But after going through a lot of hardships, Jiang Wei's heart has been tempered.
The pompousness of being a child of a family gradually faded in his body.
Jiang Wei has a calmness that is extremely difficult for a child of a family of this age to have.
Then Jiang Wei stepped into the brightly lit banquet hall under the guidance of the rich aroma of wine.
When Jiang Wei entered the banquet hall, he found that there were already many people standing in the banquet hall long before he came.
Since the feast had not yet begun, the people who had arrived earlier had gathered in twos and threes, talking about something.
Judging from the loud laughter they let out from time to time, and the wine glasses that kept shaking in their hands, those people were very happy at this moment.
Even on the other side of Longshan, tens of thousands of Han troops were eyeing them, but this did not affect their interest in the slightest.
Life must be enjoyable when you are free, isn't this what most children of the world think?
As for the enemy's oppression, what does it have to do with them?
As long as the family is not extinguished, their living conditions are adequately guaranteed, and this is enough to remain the same.
If it were usual, Jiang Wei might have been one of those people.
But for Jiang Wei, who had seen the broader sky after walking out of Ji County, he couldn't help but feel a little disgusted by the scene he saw in front of him.
This is the feeling that an eagle will naturally have when it looks at a moth.
In Jiang Wei's heart, the hearty laughter of those children of the family is essentially no different from the sound of the death of the country recorded in the history books.
And after Jiang Wei stepped into the banquet hall, Xie Lian, who had been looking for Jiang Wei's figure, suddenly saw Jiang Wei's location.
Xie Lian's eyes were also watched by Jiang Wei.
Under the two eyes, Jiang Wei put away the disgust in his heart, and walked towards Xie Yan with his face as usual.
Entering the table halfway through, this is a strategy that Xie Lian and Jiang Wei have discussed early on.
If you arrive at the banquet early in the morning, the later guests will inevitably notice Jiang Wei's presence - after all, Jiang Wei's skin is quite pleasant.
But if you sit halfway, Jiang Wei can flow in with the people who go to the banquet together, which can minimize the attention of others to Jiang Wei.
Of course, Xie Lian had already thought about how he would answer if someone asked about Jiang Wei's identity.
He would reply that Jiang Wei was his nephew.
The Xie family and the Jiang family are both famous families in Ji County, and they have been friends for many years.
Under these two origins, Jiang Wei pretended to be Xie Lian's nephew, which can almost be fake.
Xie Lian's advance assumption is useful, maybe Jiang Wei's temperament is too good, even if he mixes in the flow of people and walks towards Xie Lian step by step, trying to reduce his sense of existence.
But when he arrived before and after Xie Lian, several friends who were talking to Xie Lian still showed a few curious sighs after seeing Jiang Wei.
Faced with the questions of several friends, Xie confidently informed several friends of Jiang Wei's "identity".
And sure enough, as Xie Lian expected, after hearing that Jiang Wei was Xie Lian's nephew, those friends put away their attention to Jiang Wei, and showed a knowing smile on their faces.
Feasts were not just for eating, drinking, and having fun, but also for the people who attended the feast to expand their personal connections with each other.
Under this common sense, it is really normal for Xie to bring one or two sons and nephews to the banquet.
After Jiang Wei came to Xie Lian and bowed to him, he really walked behind Xie Lian obediently like a nephew and made a look of listening to the teachings.
But in fact, Jiang Wei's eyes were consciously or unintentionally, keeping an eye on the movement at the door.
Jiang Wei was waiting for someone to arrive, and who was that person not Wang Sheng?
Jiang Wei didn't wait too long, and the movement outside the hall caught his attention.
Jiang Wei, who had dexterous ears, heard the sound of many armors colliding outside the hall.
When these Jin Ge's voices reached Jiang Wei's ears, a strong man dressed as a general with a big shoulder and a round waist appeared at the door of the back hall not long after.
This strong man is Zhang He's favorite general Wang Sheng.
After Wang Sheng stepped into the lobby, he also smelled the refreshing aroma of wine.
Compared with Jiang Wei's restraint, Wang Sheng immediately burst into laughter after smelling the aroma of wine.
"Xie Jun really has a heart!"
There are few people who don't like to drink.
Wang Sheng is a leader among wine lovers.
For wine lovers, it is undoubtedly the best tribute to someone who brings out the best wine to entertain him.
Xie Lian's respect made Wang Sheng, who has always been rude, very satisfied.
Wang Sheng's voice was extremely loud, and his loud laughter soon spread throughout the hall, which caused the people in the hall to look towards the door of the hall.
After seeing that it was Wang Sheng's arrival, the officials in the hall with a slightly lower status had already saluted Wang Sheng.
And after Xie Lian saw Wang Sheng coming, cold sweat quietly broke out in his palms.
What they did today, Jiang Wei and Man Zhong can not be nervous, but it doesn't mean that Xie Lian is the same.
It's just that things have developed to this point, and Xie Lian definitely has no way out.
Xie Lian also understood this, so after taking a deep breath, he walked towards the door of the hall with an honorable smile on his face.
As Xie Lian walked, he arched his hand and said to Wang Shengyan: "General Wang is really honored to be invited to come." ”
Xie Lian knew that Wang Sheng wanted to save face, so he tried his best to use humble words to make Wang Sheng happy.
If people are overly happy, their wariness will naturally be much lowered.
Sure enough, after hearing Xie Lian's words, Wang Sheng was very useful.
Although Wang Sheng is a fierce general, his background is not high, and in the past, few children of the family were willing to take it seriously.
Now Xie Lian, who is also a child of the family, can be so "respectful" of him, which greatly satisfies the vanity in Wang Sheng's heart.
When Xie Lian walked in front of Wang Sheng and wanted to personally lead him towards the main seat in the hall, Wang Sheng, in order to respond to Xie Lian's "respect" for him, did not order the more than 100 personal soldiers who followed him to enter with him.
Wang Sheng only took two pro-soldiers and walked inward with Xie Lian.
Wang Sheng's actions made Xie Lian's heart secretly happy.
But after a slight glance at the well-trained more than 100 Wei troops outside the hall, Xie Lian's heart was inevitably a little worried.
Xie Lian didn't dare to let his face look anything different, he could only let himself try to remain as calm as possible and brought Wang Sheng to his seat.
Wang Sheng and Xie Lian's seats are very close, and they are also very close to Jiang Wei's seats.
When Wang Sheng took his seat, Jiang Wei couldn't help but touch the hilt of the sword on his waist with his fingers.
Wang Sheng, who was still excited, didn't know that in the dark, there were a pair of eagle-like eyes looking at his neck.
The arrival of Wang Sheng symbolizes the official beginning of the feast.
Under Xie Lian's applause, many servants who had been waiting outside the hall for a long time immediately rushed in with a plate of fish containing many delicacies.
The entrance of many delicacies suddenly fills the lobby with the aroma of food.
With wine in hand and delicacies in sight, this made Wang Sheng's wariness in his heart have been minimized.
Seeing Wang Sheng's eagerness, Xie Lian's disdain for Wang Sheng was a little more, but his face still showed enthusiasm, and he motioned for the servants to bring delicious food to Wang Sheng.
At the same time, delicacies were also placed on the dining table in front of the people attending the banquet tonight.
Although Wang Sheng commanded thousands of cavalry before, due to the needs of his duties, he had to often inspect Luoyang County.
During the inspection, Wang Sheng ate most of the dry food, so where did he have any chance to eat delicious food?
So when there were many delicacies on the food table in front of him, Wang Sheng couldn't help the hunger and thirst in his heart, and began to eat with chopsticks in his hand.
After a while, the corners of Wang Sheng's mouth were surrounded by oiliness.
Seeing that Wang Sheng was caught in the pleasure of enjoying wine and food, Xie Lian clapped his hands a few more times in order to further lower Wang Sheng's vigilance.
Not long after Xie Lian's applause, many graceful and scantily clad dancers entered the lobby.
After many dancers stood still, the sound of blurred silk and bamboo sounded in the lobby at the right time.
The music began to dance, and soon many dancers danced under the guidance of the music.
Under the dance of Mei Ji, the long sleeves are like chains that hook the soul, hooking the souls of the guests in the banquet out of the body.
Especially Wang Sheng.
Wang Sheng, who was born in poverty, has never seen the scene tonight.
In the past, he often robbed people's girls to satisfy his animal desires.
But an ordinary folk girl, with rough skin and no makeup decoration, where is the beauty he saw tonight?
Under the influence of delicious food and wine, and blurry music, Wang Sheng's whole person was ready to move, and his eyes were staring at the waists of those beautiful women motionlessly.
In the end, Wang Sheng, who couldn't bear it anymore, got up directly and pulled a Mei Ji in front of him into his arms and put his hands up, causing Mei Ji to exclaim continuously.
But Mei Ji's exclamation not only did not make Wang Sheng stop, but made Wang Sheng's interest a little higher.
At this moment, all the vigilance in Wang Sheng's heart had disappeared.
He had only one wish in his heart now, and that was to wish that the night would pass slowly.
Wang Sheng's actions have always been under Xie Lian's observation.
When he realized that the atmosphere was almost brewing, Xie Yan gestured with his eyes to a servant beside him.
The servant understood and walked towards Wang Sheng's seat.
This servant was ordered by Xie Lian to go and tell Wang Sheng one thing—Xie Lian had prepared gold, silver, and jewelry in the backyard to be dedicated to him.
Wang Sheng was originally dissatisfied with the slaves' coming to disturb him.
But after hearing that there was such a harvest tonight, Wang Sheng couldn't help laughing.
Wang Sheng looked at Xie and said: "Xiang Wen Miyang is in the army, and he has always liked luxury and good things.
Today, I am afraid that I am not less happy than him. ”
After saying this, Wang Sheng asked the two pro-soldiers behind him to follow Xie Lian's servants and leave—he did not need to go to receive the gold, silver and jewelry.
Wang Sheng's words were originally intended to show that he was very satisfied with Xie Lian's arrangement today.
But what he didn't know was that his words made Jiang Wei feel a little more murderous intent towards him in his heart.
What grade are you that you dare to compare with the generals?
Jiang Wei, who felt that his general was insulted, stood up without hesitation and walked towards Wang Sheng with a wine glass in his hand after seeing Wang Sheng's two remaining personal soldiers leave.
At the moment when Jiang Wei got up, Xie Lian immediately said to Wang Sheng: "This is a nephew of Lian, I want to pay tribute to the general."
If the general does not dislike it, I hope that the general will give him a position in the future. ”
Xie Lian's words found a good reason for Jiang Wei's toast.
In the face of Xie Lian's request, of course Wang Sheng would not refuse.
At this time, Wang Sheng was full of drunkenness, and his confused eyes made him not pay attention to it at first, and under Jiang Wei's loose coat, there was a sharp sword that was enough to seal his throat.
After Jiang Wei came within three feet of him, Wang Sheng realized that something was wrong.
It's a pity that three feet has always been the distance between heroes and swords.
Just when Wang Sheng was about to open his mouth to question Jiang Wei, Jiang Wei took the first step and sprinkled the water and wine in his hand on Wang Sheng's face.
The attack of the liquor made Wang Sheng subconsciously close his eyes.
And when he closed his eyes, Jiang Wei decisively lifted his coat, revealing the hidden blade sword that had been hidden, and Jiang Wei had already held his hand on the hilt.
The moment Wang Sheng opened his eyes again, Wang Sheng saw that there seemed to be a flash of cold light in front of his eyes, and then there was a sharp pain in his neck.
The sharp pain in his neck made Wang Sheng can't help but reach out and touch his neck.
The moment he touched his neck, Wang Sheng felt that his hands were covered with viscous liquid.
Then Mei Ji in Wang Sheng's arms let out an extremely frightened exclamation.
Mei Ji exclaimed loudly, attracting the attention of everyone in the hall to Wang Sheng's place.
Then they saw a scene that they would never forget in their lives.
On Wang Sheng's neck, there was a bottomless scar, and at this time, there was countless blood flowing out of that scar.
This terrifying scene sparked more exclamations.
The guests who were close to Wang Sheng were like frightened rabbits, and they subconsciously jumped up from their seats, thinking of staying away from Jiang Wei.
Everything was lightning and flint, so fast that there was no time for anyone to react.
And when the people around him kept fleeing, and the exclamations in the hall kept ringing out, Jiang Wei didn't stop doing anything, and directly stepped forward to cut off Wang Sheng's head and held it on the sword in his hand.
There was still a large amount of blood gushing out of Wang Sheng's severed head.
When Jiang Wei raised Wang Sheng's head high with his sword, the blood slowly flowed down the cold light of the sword body to Jiang Wei's arm.
In the end, it flowed to Jiang Wei's body, making Jiang Wei a person who stood in blood.
This extremely impactful scene made everyone in the hall panic.
They looked at Jiang Wei now, and they all had a look of fear in their eyes.
In their eyes, Jiang Wei at this time was no longer a handsome child of a family, but a bloodthirsty demon king.
Even Xie Lian, who was prepared in his heart, was frightened by the scene in front of him.
Provoked the first demonstration, standing up in blood, is this son and nephew of his, so tiger?
