Withholding the letter and not sending it, Han Yin can ask for verification in private, which obviously won't work.

Long Xiang thought about it for a long time, and decided to continue to use Zhang Jiong's letter as a stepping stone, but he would knock Hao Meng verbally, in short, it was better to take himself out in advance than to be confused.

As soon as the sun set, Long Xiang followed Han Yin out of the post house to do things, and parted ways at the street entrance.

Long Xiang and Feng Zhong carried gifts and went straight to the residence of Hao Meng, the captain of the city defense school.

Because of the mention of sending a letter to the fellow villagers in Hanoi, Long Xiang and the two entered the Hao Mansion smoothly, and then were led to the front hall by the soldiers to wait.

After Hao Meng dispersed today, he invited the deputy general Cao Xing to go home for dinner, and the two of them had not yet had time to unload their armor when they entered the house, and suddenly heard that the Yuan Shu delegation was visiting, so they moved to the front hall to meet the guests.

"General Hao..."

"General Cao..."

"General Dragon..."

"General Feng..."

Hao Meng was in charge of the defense of Xiapi City, and Cao Xing arranged the post house for the mission, so the four of them were no strangers.

Seeing Hao and Cao coming together, Long Xiang and Feng Zhong hurriedly got up to salute.

It stands to reason that the military rank must reach the level of a general before the word general can be called a general, but the actual situation is not so rigid, and many low-level officers also call each other generals, even the lowest rank of the fire head (the fire head is ten people long).

Long Xiang is well versed in the way of the workplace, for the staff who have no position to call the leader, all the deputy directors directly call the director, as for the clerks, material suppliers and small bosses of external enterprises, they are called by a certain boss and a certain manager.

But in their own company, you must be strict about the position level, do not allow subordinates to shout, sometimes even have to be humble, there are some security guards, cleaners, or clerks who don't know anything, etc., are likely to be relatives of the boss or shareholders, and they are prone to accidents if they don't know how to converge.

The reason why office politics is loose on the outside and tight on the inside is for no other reason, but because of the needs of the world.

"I heard that General Long is here to deliver a letter?" Hao Meng motioned for Long Xiang to sit down, and confirmed the intention of the two of them by the way.

Long Xiang nodded and took out the letter, handed it to Hao Meng with both hands to explain: "This letter was originally sent by Mr. Han tonight, but Mr. Gongtai (Chen Gong) invited him to talk about it, so let the last man go in the future." ”

"Oh? It's hard work. Hao Meng nodded and took the letter and opened it directly in front of Cao Xing.

Yuan Shu's people suddenly came to the door, maybe it would reach Lu Bu, Hao Meng did this to show that he was open, but after a few quick sweeps, his eyebrows immediately wrinkled.

Long Xiang observed his words, found the right time to clasp his fists and salute, and said: "The mission of the last general has been achieved, so I will no longer bother the general..."

"Huh? What does the letter mean? Mr. Han has nothing to say? Hao Meng finished a quick browsing, frowned and pondered and asked Long Xiang.

Feng Zhong saw that Hao Meng's tone was wrong, and immediately got up and came to Long Xiang's side, staring at Hao and Cao like angry eyes.

Long Xiang felt that Feng Zhong's breath was taking advantage of it, and blocked Feng Zhong with one hand, and then asked innocently with a fist on his face: "The last general's trip is just a message, as for what the letter says, I don't know, Mr. Han only urged it to be sent earlier, and didn't say more than half a word, is there anything wrong?" ”

Hao Meng didn't seem to believe it, lowered his head and asked again: "I really don't know?" ”

"How can you deceive the general? Neither of us can read, and I can't afford to peek at it, so what kind of arrogance is there in the letter? Long Xiang pretended to be puzzled.

Hao Meng and Cao Xing looked at each other, and they didn't know what they were thinking, but they saw him quickly turn into a smile, and said with a slight bow: "It's not crazy, it's actually Zhang Jiong who borrowed money from his subordinates, and he was originally a small city defense captain, how could he lend him spare money..."

Long Xiang was stunned after hearing this, and sighed that Hao Meng's reaction was so fast, I didn't even expect this reason, you have a 550w system in your head?

After a short period of stunnedness, Long Xiang clenched his fists again, "That being the case, the last general will take his leave..."

"Come slowly, General Long is a guest from afar, how can he leave like this? If my fellow countryman Zhang Jiong knew about it, he would definitely say that Hao didn't know how to be polite, so he had to eat some wine. Hao Meng saw Long Xiang's expression, and the doubts in his heart had been relieved, but he still planned to ask more, after all, the matter on the letter was too big, and if he didn't get it right, he would lose his head.

"The last general has a shallow amount of alcohol, I'm afraid I can't accompany the general to have fun..."Long Xiang finished with a little embarrassment, and turned his head to look at his companion Feng Zhong, signaling the other party to come out and testify.

Feng Zhong hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "My general is really drunk, please let us go back to the post house, right?" General Lu will hold a banquet tomorrow to catch the wind, and if General Long is too drunk to attend the banquet, Mr. Han will definitely be held accountable..."

"The banquet of the lord is the courtesy of the lord, and the banquet of Hao is the courtesy of Hao, General Long will not look down on Hao, right?" Hao Meng first accentuated his tone, followed by the words and said softly: "Besides, Hao's alcohol is also shallow, everyone will stop when they order, and the post house will always have hangover decoction, which will not affect General Long's banquet tomorrow, please sit here for a while, and General Cao and I will come after changing clothes." ”

When the drowsiness came, someone handed him a pillow, Hao Meng naturally would not let go of the opportunity, he 'enthusiastically' left Long Xiang and Feng Zhong in the front hall, and he took Cao Xing back to the back house to unload his armor and change clothes.

Hao and Cao left together, Feng Zhong paced in the hall for a long time, and then squatted beside Long Xiang, and complained in a low voice: "There are guards guarding the front and back doors, it seems that today's wine must be eaten." ”

"General Hao is so gracious, if you don't eat a toast, you may eat a penalty wine, sit down and wait..."Long Xiang knelt on the seat and shook his head indifferently.

Feng Zhong said in a quieter voice: "It's okay to have a drink, it's because I think Han Yin's guy is not well-intentioned, if there is really something big in the letter, I am worried that it will not be good for Yunqi." ”

Long Xiang raised his eyes and retorted: "The wood is already in the boat, why bother? Besides, we are just messengers, Hao Meng will find Han Yin and Zhang Jiong when he has something, don't think nonsense. ”

"Yunqi doesn't know, those people who play with pens are much more powerful than those who play with knives and guns, we have to guard against it..."Feng Zhong's face was full of bitterness.

"Don't think about it so much, you and I, an official and a Qu Hou, what can we prevent? No, there is wine today, and there is alcohol today..."Long Xiang shook his head.

"It's too..."Feng Zhong sighed approvingly, and said in his heart that the young general was really transparent.

Long Xiang suddenly pressed on the back of Feng Zhong's hand and comforted him softly: "Uncle Zhong, don't worry, things may not be bad, remember to help the little nephew back to the post house." ”

Feng Zhong nodded solemnly, "That's nature. ”

In the back house of Hao's mansion, the servants took off their armor for Hao Meng and Cao Xing, and put on light and cool robes.

After the servants left, Hao Meng took advantage of the oil lamp on the table to hold Zhang Jiong's letter on the fire and burn it.

Seeing this, Cao Xing hurriedly said: "Why did the general burn it?" Evidence should be left behind. ”

Hao Meng shook his head and said: "If Lu Bu really doubts me, it doesn't matter if there is this letter or not, besides, the letter says that it will be burned immediately after reading, and it will not be able to affect Brother Zhang, and it will be good for everyone to turn into ashes." ”

"The general is reluctant to leave a letter, does he have to follow what Zhang Jiong said? It's a risky move. Cao Xing's face was full of melancholy.

Hao Meng snorted coldly: "Lu Bu often insults the wives of generals, it is difficult for such a husband to achieve great things, if Yuan Shu is really the emperor, why can't we be a Xuzhou pastor?" ”

"I'm afraid that Yuan Shu is not sincere..."Cao Xuan frowned.
