Chapter Forty-Eight: Meeting Liu Hong

"Captain Wang's journey is tiring, these two sisters help Captain Wang relieve his fatigue," the subordinate said, pointing to the dancing girl next to him.

Wang Gang was shocked, it seemed that Zhang Rang was still not at ease with himself, and the temptation at the banquet just now was not enough. If she let the two dancing girls leave, it is obvious that the banquet just now was for Zhang Rang to see, but if she stays, she doesn't know what to do.

"How can this be done" After Wang Gang finished speaking, he hurriedly glanced at Jia Xu, hoping that Jia Xu would think of a way.

"This is what Zhang Gong meant, and please ask Wang Xiaowei to understand Zhang Gong's intentions" The subordinate showed a smile.

The two dancing girls also stepped forward, supporting Wang Gang on the left and right.

"Heroes and beauties, thank you for Zhang Gong's hospitality," Jia Xu said and said.

"With such a beautiful day, how can there be no wine"

"The little one is going to prepare," the next man said and left in a hurry.

Wang Gang glanced at Jia Xu with some resentment, and let the two beauties help Wang Gang into the room.

"General Chu, I'm going to get drunk tonight" Jia Xu said to Chu Yu and walked into the room next to him with Chu Yu. When Wang Gang heard Jia Xu's words, he had a flash of inspiration and thought of a way.

The two beauties took Wang Gang into the room, the room has a hollow carved screen, exuding a faint fragrance of rosewood, behind the screen is a large bed, surrounded by red curtains, and there are several brocade quilts on the bed.

Two women helped Wang Gang to the bed, and a woman in red opened her mouth, her voice like a yellow warbler in March, graceful and moving.

"Your Excellency, rest early," he said, helping Wang Gang undress.

Wang Gang hurriedly reached out and grabbed the little hand of the woman in red, which was warm and smooth, soft and boneless.

"Such a beautiful woman, how can it be abrupt. The banquet didn't go on just now, so it's better to find some more wine, it's interesting" Wang Gang finished speaking, looking at the woman in red with burning eyes.

The woman in red laughed coquettishly, glanced at Wang Gang, and suddenly fell like peach blossoms in March.

I got up and walked out of the room, and went to prepare the food and drinks.

After a few moments he came back again, followed by a servant, who set a low table on the bed, put a few plates of side dishes and a pot of good wine, and turned away.

Wang Gang picked up the flask, poured himself a glass, and helped the two women pour half a glass each.

Holding the woman in red in his arms, he reached into the dress with one hand and stroked the slippery skin.

The three of them raised their glasses frequently, and in less than an hour, the three of them drank a pot of wine glasses.

The two women's faces were slightly red, and they were about to persuade Wang Gang to rest earlier, when they heard a plop, Wang Gang fell down next to the low table, and fell asleep. The two women glanced at each other, took off Wang Gang's coat, cleaned up, lay down beside Wang Gang, and gradually fell asleep.

By the time Wang was woken up by Jia Xu, it was already the second day, and the sky was not yet bright.

"Captain Wang, Gong Zhang is already waiting"

Wang Gang hurriedly got up, glanced at the two women in the futon again, showed a helpless smile, got up and dressed neatly, and followed Zhang Rang to the palace.

The Han Dynasty was generally a five-day dynasty, and today is the early dynasty. The ministers were already waiting in front of the palace gate, Wang Gang was not qualified to participate in the court meeting, and followed Zhang Rang into the palace from the small gate and waited in the Anfu Palace.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Luoyang Imperial Palace had four palaces, east and west, north and south, the north and south palaces were the places where the emperor and the emperor lived, the east palace was the prince, and the west palace was the harem, which was inhabited by the queen's concubines.

This time Wang Gang came to the North Palace, and in recent years Emperor Liu Hong has been living in the North Palace. This early dynasty is in the early dynasty of the Xuanming Hall in the North Palace, and the right side of the Xuanming Hall is the Anfu Palace.

There were a few other people waiting together, and Wang Gang didn't know him, and he didn't dare to rush forward. Wang Gang waited in the Anfu Hall for two hours before a little eunuch walked up to Wang Gang with small steps, leaned into Wang's deaf ear and whispered.

"Captain Wang, Your Majesty has summoned, please come with me"

Wang Gang followed the little eunuch around a few more courtyards, and the sky outside was already bright.

Passing through several tortuous corridors, the wall is protected by pink rings, the green willows hang around, three hanging flower gatehouses, and the verandah is copied on all sides. The courtyard is connected with each other and dotted with mountains and stones. In the distance is a magnificent palace with a few gilded characters on it.

Chongzheng Palace

There were several golden-armored guards standing at the door, armed with spears, majestic.

The little eunuch stepped forward and whispered a few words in front of the guards at the door, and after a while, Zhang Rang walked out and walked in with Wang Gang.

The inside of the Chongzheng Hall is very large, looking at a dragon chair on the top of the jade steps, there is an old man wearing a yellow dragon robe, wearing a beaded rain gauze curtain, and a thin face, with an old face and obviously dying soon.

"Captain Zuo Wang Gang sees Your Majesty, Your Majesty is blessed with Jin'an" Wang Gang learned the etiquette taught by Jia Xu, and knelt down twenty meters away from the steps to salute.

"Excuse me, come close," Emperor Liu Hong said, his voice a little low.

Wang Gang got up again and took a few steps forward.

"Sure enough, it's a talent, a heroic boy," Liu Hong smiled.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Wang Gang replied.

"How many soldiers did you bring from Yanmen," Liu Hong asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, Yanmen is vast and sparsely populated, and it is a border fortress, and the last general will only bring 1,000 elite soldiers, and please forgive your Majesty," Wang Gang bowed and replied.

Liu Hong was slightly disappointed and said.

"It's hard for you, you can recruit another 1,000 soldiers by yourself, practice diligently, and wait for the captains to be in order, and I will personally review them" Liu Hong glanced at Wang Gang and said.

Wang Gang agreed, and followed Zhang Rang out of the Chongzheng Palace.

Zhang Rang sent Wang Gang outside the palace gate and spoke.

"Captain Wang will stay in the mansion for the time being, and open his mouth as soon as he needs to."

"Disturb Zhang Gong, the last general is the emperor's order, and he doesn't dare to slack off," Wang Gang said.

"Captain Wang, this is preparing." Zhang Rang looked at Wang Gang and said as he stretched the syllable.

"Back to Zhang Gong, the last general is ready to go to recruit soldiers to repay the emperor's kindness," Wang Gang said.

He didn't want to go to Zhang Rang's house again, the feeling of being watched made him sleep uncomfortably.

"It's okay, the West Garden has been cleaned up, Captain Wang can lead the soldiers to the West Garden to garrison first" Zhang Rang looked at Wang Gang and said, obviously still not at ease with Wang Gang.

The two separated, and outside the palace gate, Jia Xu drank Chu Yu was already waiting, and when he saw Wang Gang coming out, he was relieved.

The three of them got into the carriage and headed for Dongcheng.

"Mr. Jia, have you ever found Lord Wang?" asked Wang Gang.

"I've already met Lord Wang, and Lord Wang is already waiting in the mansion," Jia Xu said.

It turned out that Jia Xu came to wait for Wang Yun at the gate of the palace, Wang Yun was the prince and the prince, and he was going to the early dynasty.

The carriage stopped in front of a small courtyard in Dongcheng District, and a family member was waiting at the door, and walked up and spoke.

"Captain Wang, please, my lord has been waiting for a long time"

Wang Gang followed the family into the small courtyard.

The courtyard is not big, only the main house is inseparable, and there is a pavilion in the courtyard where two people play against each other on the stone platform. The older eyebrows were tight, and it was clear that they had fallen into disadvantage.

Seeing Wang Gang and the others walking in, the older man spoke.

"Ziyi is here"
