Chapter 100: Hongmen Banquet

"But ......"

Yu Qingzhi wanted to speak and stopped, but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly stopped.

Since He Lianjun dared to say it, he knew it in his heart, and he didn't need her to say more.

Clearing away his thoughts, a smile appeared on Yu Qingzhi's face.

"Let's change restaurants for dinner."

In this way, the matter is revealed.

Back in the house, Bai Xiaoer was squatting in front of the door, and when he saw the three of them, he immediately made a bitter face.

Knowingly, he asked, "Have you eaten?" Didn't you bring me some?"

He Lianjun's face did not change: "You will eat by yourself in a while, how is Jiang Dingzhong's side?"

"What else can that man do? Honestly went back."

As he was talking, there was a sudden sound of "Childe" from the slanting, followed by a few people who ran over, it was someone from the Song Mansion.

Steward Song approached and saluted He Lianjun: "Son, my family is invited."

He Lianjun guessed that Song Chi invited him to come back from Jiang Dingzhong's death, and said, "I know, let's go."

He motioned to Yu Qingzhi, who immediately followed the pace, followed by Bai Xiaoer and Jiang Chen.

Soon, the three of them entered the Song Mansion.

"You are here, please take a seat."

He Lianjun sat down as he said, raised his eyes and saw that Song Chi had unconcealed worry on his face, and his expression moved slightly.

"Lord Song is worried about Jiang Dingzhong's resurrection from death?"

At the same time, Song Chi's voice just fell.

"The Beidi people have gone south."

In an instant, there was silence.

Immediately after, Song Chi, who reacted, exclaimed, "Then Jiang Dingzhong is still alive? Is this true?"

He Lianjun was silent, his fingertips resting on the armrest on one side, realizing that his previous guess was wrong, and couldn't help frowning.

"About half an hour ago, I met with him, and I won't mention him for the time being, what's going on with Beidi?"

"Two days ago, a group of Beidi people went south to control five villages, and a word came that Shuozhou City wanted to prepare food and medicinal herbs for them......

Song Chi quickly explained the situation, his face extremely heavy.

Since the imperial court showed weakness to Beidi and ceded a large number of cities and wealth, Beidi has not made a big move for a long time.

Now that he is threatening to ask for food and medicinal materials without even contacting the imperial court, is there something wrong in the middle?

Or is it that Beidi can't hold back the invasion and simply wants to take the Southern Dynasty as his own?

Thinking of this, He Lianjun said: "Shuozhou City is not the closest place to Beidi, there are also Jiangshang and Jianing City, they should have also received similar news, first drag it out, wait to find out the reason why the Beidi people want food and medicinal materials, and then talk about other things."

According to the matter of the Beidi people, He Lianjun mentioned Jiang Dingzhong again.

"On the day of Huayue Tower, I was sure that I killed Jiang Dingzhong, that person's face was the same as his, but ......

He paused, his expression flashing with thought.

At this moment, a deliberately suppressed voice sounded.

"Could it be that the one in the Flower Moon Building is a stand-in?"

He Lianjun and Song Chi glanced at each other, and at the same time looked at Yu Qingzhi.

Being watched by the two, Yu Qingzhi didn't dodge, and said very indifferently, "Didn't they all say that a high-ranking person would prepare a stand-in for himself? Then Jiang Dingzhong is also a person who covers the sky with one hand in Shuozhou City, greedy for life and afraid of death, so it is not surprising, right?"

He Lianjun and Song Chi both fell into deep thought, so it makes sense.

After some time, the group returned to their newly purchased house.

Having already inspected this mansion yesterday, Yu Qingzhi looked around and proposed to bring Jiang Tian and He Wanyue back.

"I've made sure there's nothing wrong with this house, and it's better to take them back."

He Lianjun bowed his head, and was about to call people, but Bai Xiaoer immediately made a decisive sound.

"I'll pick them up."

When the words fell, Bai Xiaoer's figure had disappeared at the door.

Yu Qingzhi couldn't help but laugh, and caught a glimpse of Jiang Chen's pensive look, and couldn't help but look over.

"What is Brother Jiang thinking?"

Jiang Chen came back to his senses from his thoughts and pulled the corners of his mouth slightly.

"It's nothing, I'll go pick up someone with Bai Xiaoer."

After speaking, Jiang Chen left.

Yu Qingzhi felt strange and turned his head to look at He Lianjun.

Almost at the same time, her hand was held by He Lianjun.

"Why do you think that the one in the Flower Moon Building is a stand-in?"

Yu Qingzhi didn't expect He Lianjun to bring up what he had said before, and he was a little stunned.

But she soon reacted and repeated the explanation she had previously said.

The two of them clasped hands, and the breeze blew between them, but there was a little silence inexplicably.

"Oh no, something's wrong."

Just then, a shout suddenly came from outside the door.

But Bai Xiaoer, who went to pick up people, ran back.

Bai Xiaoer ran to the two of them out of breath, and said with an anxious face, "The shopkeeper of the inn said that half an hour ago, a group of people suddenly broke into the second floor and took both of them away."

What!

Yu Qingzhi subconsciously grabbed the person and asked eagerly, "What's the matter? How can people not see good people?"

Bai Xiaoer gritted his teeth: "I don't know, the people in charge of protection were all injured, and the people at the inn couldn't tell the situation."

He Lianjun, who had been silent, spoke at this time.

"I'll go check on the situation with Xiao Er, and you wait for me at home."

Yu Qingzhi's brows furrowed, and before he could blurt out the sentence "I'm going with me too", he heard He Lianjun say:

"Those who take them must have a plan, and they may not send someone to spread the word, so you wait at home so as not to leak the news."

Yu Qingzhi pursed her lips, and could only suppress the anxiety in her heart, watching He Lianjun and Bai Xiaoer leave.

Turning around, she immediately summoned the system.

"System, where are Wanyue and Sister Jiang now?"

Since the system has become enthusiastic, Yu Qingzhi has been able to ask about many things from the system.

It is the previous statement of "stand-in", and it is also a reminder made by the system out loud.

"They're in Jiangfu."

"Jiang Mansion? You mean Jiang Dingzhong?"

Yu Qingzhi's inquiry blurted out, and after reacting, her hanging fingers suddenly clenched.

Calculating the time, Jiang Dingzhong was actually sent back with the front foot, and the back foot sent someone to the inn to catch He Wanyue and Jiang Tian.

Damn, if you know about it, you won't send people back so quickly.

Yu Qingzhi intended to look for He Lianjun, so he heard the system say:

"The host should wait at home, Jiang Dingzhong stared at He Lianjun, it would be bad if he took you as a hostage."

Yu Qingzhi was silent, and could only press down eagerly.

When He Lianjun turned around, it was almost midnight.

Because of the eagerness in his heart, Yu Qingzhi, who had been waiting, saw him, Bai Xiaoer, and Jiang Chen, and immediately trotted forward.

"How? Is there any news?"

He Lianjun's face was not good, but he also nodded.

"There's news, they're in Jiangfu."

It's really in Jiangfu.

Yu Qingzhi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and asked again, "What about that person? When will we be able to bring them back?"

"Tomorrow evening, Jiang Dingzhong will hold a banquet in Huayue Tower and ask me to go."

At this time, Bai Xiaoer, who was in the rear, couldn't hold back and jumped out to explain.

Yu Qingzhi was stunned for a moment, and muttered, "This banquet is afraid that it is a Hongmen banquet."

"Even if it's a Hongmen feast, I have to go through it."

The next evening, a carriage slowly stopped in front of Huayue Tower.

As the gold cave of Shuozhou City, when the whole city is silent, Huayue Tower is extremely noisy.

There were a lot of pedestrians coming and going, the smell of fat powder wafted everywhere, and the laughter of women could be heard everywhere.

Yu Qingzhi helped He Lianjun's men get out of the carriage, and when he saw this lively scene, his eyes flashed with surprise.

She thought that Shuozhou City was as bleak as she saw yesterday, but it turned out that the excitement was here.

At this moment, several people came over, with a knife at the waist of the leader, and asked, "But He Lianjun?"

"Exactly."

"Come with me."

Yu Qingzhi and He Lianjun glanced at each other, and the two of them took steps at the same time.

On the top floor of Huayue Building, unlike the bustle at the door, this place is silent, the red blanket covers the entire corridor, and there is no sound when the footsteps fall.

Suddenly, there was a sound of the piano.

The leader pushed open one of the doors, and the sound of the harp grew louder.

In the room, Jiang Dingzhong sat in the middle, holding a beautiful woman in his arms, and slowly shaking the delicate glass cup in his hand.

On his left, there are He Wanyue and Jiang Tian with ugly faces.

Behind them stood several men with swords.

Not far away, smoke was rising from an incense burner, and a faint fragrance spread through the room.

When Yu Qingzhi saw them, he subconsciously walked over.

"Wanyue, Sister Jiang!"

Before Yu Qingzhi could get closer, the two of them jumped out to stop her.

"Stop."

Yu Qingzhi frowned when he heard the scolding, and saw a black shadow flash in front of him.

He Lianjun, who was standing behind, stopped in front of her at some point, and also separated the people who blocked her.

At this time, Jiang Dingzhong said slowly: "The guest is as you go, since Gongzi He is here for the banquet, why don't you sit down first, let's eat vegetables, and then chat a few words?"

"It's better to be respectful than to obey, let's go."

Yu Qingzhi glanced at He Wanyue and Jiang Tian worriedly, and sat down with He Lianjun.

As soon as the two of them sat down, someone poured a drink.

As soon as Jiang Dingzhong clapped his hands, the people of Huayue Tower entered with delicacies in their hands, and closed the door when they left.

"This Huayue Mansion recently invited an imperial chef who has just left the palace, and his cooking skills are excellent, should he be no worse than the people around Gongzi He, try it?"

He Lianjun glanced at the dishes on the table: "In my opinion, it is the imperial chef who has just left the palace, and his skills are not as good as my lady."

When Yu Qingzhi heard the phrase "lady", her ears turned red.

"This is also true, the prince of Wei, what should be more important than the delicious feelings."

Jiang Dingzhong pushed away the beauty in his arms, and looked at He Lianjun with a pair of gloomy eyes.

"I just don't know, does the Holy One value this feeling?"

He Lianjun raised his eyes instantly, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

How did Jiang Dingzhong know his origin, and who revealed it?

"He Gong doesn't need to look at me with that kind of look, there is no impermeable wall in the world, you have to be ready to be recognized when you come with great fanfare, how, after today, are you willing to cooperate with me?"

The sound of the piano sounded faintly, and the incense burning in the incense burner on the side gradually became richer.

After a while, Jiang Dingzhong spoke again:

"Gongzi He, how do you think about it?"

He Lianjun sneered and sat up slowly.

"I can't afford Lord Jiang's invitation, so let's stop this banquet today."

When the words fell, there were crashing sounds one after another, the closed doors and windows were kicked open, and a group of people rushed into the house, led by Bai Xiaoer.

Bai Xiaoer asked excitedly, "Big brother, what do you say?"

He Lianjun raised his chin slightly, and before he could say a word, he saw a smile flashing on Jiang Dingzhong's face, looking fearless.

Jiang Dingzhong shook his head and put down the glass cup in his hand.

"It's rare for me to hold a banquet in Shuozhou City, Jiang Gongzi is like this, it can't help but live up to my kindness, and I don't know how other guests will think of He Gongzi if they know about it."

He Lianjun was stunned.

At this moment, a group of people appeared outside the door that was kicked open, all dressed in brocade clothes, all looking at the room with stunned faces.

"Jiang

What does that mean, my lord?"

"Whose offspring are you? Master Jiang is holding a banquet, how can you be so rude?"

Damn, Jiang Dingzhong is digging a pit for him, so that he will be targeted by the upper echelons of Shuozhou City.

Hit the trick!
