Chapter 344: Friends of Zhang Jiao
Xin Xiang, day by day.
After the honor guard of the emperor of Xia and the civil and military officials entered the city, the city gate has been lifted to the point that the people can enter and exit the city at will at this moment.
Before the crowded city gate, the crowd dispersed in twos and threes, and returned to their homes in the city with all their belongings, and the rest were mostly stranded merchants, and after being checked by the Xiliang soldiers, they hurriedly went out of the city to sell goods, and there were also people who went out to chop firewood and go to the mountains to collect some mountain fruits.
In the light rain, the Xiliang soldiers guarding the city let go of the two merchant brigades, and seemed to see something, in the dripping lead green rain curtain, an old man wearing a Taoist robe, holding a fortune-telling flag, came slowly, the banner was different from the usual, and the white cloth was used.
"The monks of Qi still have ...... who use white flags"
"Countries are different, our national teacher Zhang Jiao, don't you also use yellow flags."
"Huang Na is more expensive, and the white flag can be compared?"
The Taoist priest in the rainy day came over with a flag, and the two Xiliang soldiers who were talking stopped talking and let him pass, they all knew that His Majesty liked Taoism, and he was often followed by an old Taoist priest surnamed Li.
The Taoist priest has white hair, fairy bones, and does not look like a person with evil intentions, not to mention that they only check the convoy, and rarely check the people who travel alone, and the shortage of troops has just passed, so there is no way to check the road guide, so they simply let them enter the city.
The two soldiers checked a donkey cart again, and when they looked back, the old Taoist priest was already dozens of feet away.
"Walking so fast?"
In their puzzled voices, the old Taoist priest in front of them was wandering around the street with a flag, seeing that the street had not been damaged by the war, and from time to time there were officials from the government patrolling the streets, or reading the announcement of the emperor's abdication and the merger of the Qi State into the Xia State to the gathered people at the market entrance.
After seeing and hearing all the way, the Taoist priest couldn't help but nodded appreciatively.
Soon, he walked straight to the imperial city with a white flag, and was stopped by the sergeants of the imperial city, and a captain walked over with the hilt of the knife at his waist: "This Taoist chief, the imperial city is forbidden, you better go somewhere else!" ”
"Hehe, can you pass on your emperor, just say that Lu Zhiyuan of Fuyun Mountain wants to see you."
The captain of the Imperial City also laughed and waved his hand to the old Taoist priest in front of him: "Daoist, the Son of Heaven doesn't say that he will see him, you better go back." ”
"Labor is all heard, seen or not, another story."
Seeing that the old Taoist priest was smiling and not leaving, the captain originally wanted to drive people away, but it can be seen that the other party is so old, and after a closer look, he couldn't help but be a little surprised to see that the other party's Taoist robe was not wet with the rain.
He let people inform the guard general on the city tower, the latter named Sun Zan is a general, but also Yang Qi's son-in-law, he heard the three words of Fuyun Mountain, his face could not hide the expression of surprise, quickly went down the city tower, and ordered the captain to go over to visit, but when he arrived at the city gate, the figure of the old Taoist priest was not here.
Ask the guards guarding the door, they are also a little dazed, they just looked away, when the other party disappeared, completely unaware.
"Hurry up and inform Your Majesty!"
Now that he has surrendered to the Xia Kingdom, Sun Zan naturally wants to call Su Chen His Majesty, and he sent the captain to lead a few people into the palace quickly, no matter whether the Taoist priest's intentions are good or bad, he has to let the Son of Heaven beware as soon as possible.
It is rumored that there is an old immortal in Fuyun Mountain, whose magic power is mysterious, but I don't know if it is the old Taoist priest that the captain said just now.
There are five great masters in the world, but there is only one old immortal.
He pressed down a little anxious heart, and watched the lieutenant under his command lead a few soldiers to run away between the palace roads, and his heart went up and down, "If you come with bad intentions, it will be troublesome." ”
Extending along the long palace road, the first golden hall was in the middle of the noon banquet, which was the sound of staggered noise.
Dong Zhuo laughed, held his big belly, and walked back and forth between the generals with a wine glass.
"With a banquet in the main hall of the early dynasty of Qi State, Your Majesty really understands the thoughts of the old minister, haha!"
The generals in the hall, the generals in the army, and even the middle-level generals and colonels are also among them, this is Su Chen's special exception, but seeing that everyone is very happy together, he will not change it to a regular practice in the future, the middle-level officers of the army are the mainstay of a certain battalion of soldiers and horses, and Su Chen is never stingy with the treatment that should be given.
And such as Xiang Yu, Lu Bu, Jia Xu, Zhao Yun and other Chinese civil and military are in the first column of the imperial order, and it is also the position that can show the most honor, followed by the generals and colonels of the army, and finally the civil and military of the Qi State, and dozens of people were selected to attend on behalf of the rest of the people, ranking behind the palace pillars.
As generals and ministers, they naturally know that they are not as good as the proud generals of Xia Guo who follow the emperor to fight the world, and it is normal to be at the bottom, but thinking that in the future, they will no longer need to use swords and soldiers, no more dead people, and they can have dinner with these famous generals of Xia Kingdom, and the atmosphere in the banquet can't help but make them a little high-spirited.
This is a completely different feeling from the feeling of grievance a few days ago.
After entering the palace for the banquet, Su Chen brought a message to Wu Zixun to the generals of all armies, there is no need to pay too much attention to the rules, today's celebration banquet only needs a large piece of meat and a big bowl of wine, how to be happy.
Most of the middle-level officers are rough and habitual, and with His Majesty's approval, it is called a let go of eating and drinking, in addition to talking and laughing loudly with a word, there are also a few people who have taken off their shirts and bare strong muscles, and want to perform a gladiatorial fight for Su Chen, fighting to a fierce place, which attracts Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo, and Li Dao's aggressive generals to applaud loudly.
Xiang Yu felt the atmosphere in this army, and couldn't help but glance at Su Chen on the imperial stairs a few times, and he couldn't imagine that the other party could let the generals with different personalities get along so harmoniously.
If it were him, he might not have been able to do it.
Thinking of the angry father, many old brothers who left him, his face suddenly darkened.
In the hanging afterglow, someone suddenly approached, Xiang Yu raised his gaze Su Chen smiled and came to his desk at some point, holding up the wine glass in his hand.
"Why does King Xiang drink alcohol alone?"
Su Chen could guess what he was thinking, and then shouted to Dong Zhuo, who was running around at the various tables over there, "Taishi, why don't you drink with King Xiang?" But don't look down on King Xiang? ”
Dong Zhuo, who was drinking with Zhao Yun and Ma Yunlu and his wife, turned his head: "Huh? "Yes.
He quickly wiped the wine hanging from his beard, filled it again, and brought it with the flask. Xiang Yu was made to laugh by Su Chen's words, got up and held the wine in both hands, and touched the edge of the cup with Dong Zhuo and Su Chen.
After a cup of belly, Xiang Yu thanked Dong Zhuo for his persuasion, and he looked at Su Chen: "Your Majesty, I don't know when you will be crowned?" ”
He didn't care about any official position, so he naturally wanted to bring Yu Ji to this world.
"It's definitely not right now, when the Western Front is over, the Liang Kingdom will be cleaned up, and after the class teacher returns to the court, all the generals will discuss the merits and deeds together." Su Chen knew that he was anxious, so he poured a new glass of wine for him with his own hands, "King Xiang doesn't need to be in a hurry, this matter is just a matter of time or time, now let's feel more about this world, and when Yu Ji comes, or King Xiang's old brothers come, I can tell them about it." ”
There was a lot of noise in the hall, and the sound of the two of them talking, the middle-level officers and Qi Guowenwu behind them naturally couldn't hear it.
But the recent Chinese civil and military officers can hear clearly, Lu Bu is in the seat next door, and he got up and came over: "Xiang Wang Mo has to feel that he is alone, who around you is not alone in this world?" ”
Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "There are still people who have deep hatred." ”
Hatred?
Xiang Yu asked curiously, "Who?" ”
Here, Dong Zhuo pointed at himself, and then pointed to Lu Bu next to him: "I was killed by him, the halberd was so long at that time, it was inserted at once, and it directly flowed out of the old man's intestines!" ”
“…… What did the master do, and he didn't know in his heart? Lu Bu 'cut'.
"What the old man did, you also did it, you killed me, not because of the prince's divisive plan, for a woman's ......" Dong Zhuo was also angry when he said this, and stomped his feet and said: "At the beginning, you were a horse, and later you were a sable cicada...... I knew that the old man wouldn't touch her. ”
Li Ru came up and whispered, "Taishi, Confucianism has persuaded you." ”
"Is there one?"
Dong Zhuo blinked, coughed dryly, pretended to be confused with his wine glass, turned around and slipped away: "The old man may have been drinking at the time, but he didn't listen to it......"
Hearing this, Xiang Yu immediately understood why Lu Bu didn't want to mention Diao Chan.
But thinking that the two of them have such a big hatred, they are now getting along like two children, and they put their grudges out as a talking point for laughing and scolding each other.
During the time when everyone was laughing and drinking, Su Chen pulled Xiang Yu and said some more words, and suddenly a voice came from outside the hall, the voice was obviously old, but it entered everyone's ears, and it was clear and upright.
"Fuyun Mountain Lu Zhiyuan came to meet the Son of Heaven of Xia Kingdom, I wonder if I can come in and ask for a glass of wine?"
The noise in the hall was instantly suppressed by this sound, and everyone immediately stopped talking, and the wine in their hands turned their heads to look at the main hall.
Dian Wei, Lu Bu, and Xiang Yu dragged their tall and mighty bodies, slowly stood up, and narrowed their eyes.
The dozens of civil and military officers of the Qi State looked at each other, and they didn't know who it was, they were so rampant, and Yang Qi among them chanted the words 'Fuyun Mountain' in his mouth, and his face suddenly showed surprise, and he quickly got up and walked out of his seat.
"Your Majesty, it's the old immortal of Fuyun Mountain in Liang Kingdom!"
Su Chen frowned, Floating Cloud Mountain?
He had heard Zhang Jiao say that he was going to Liang to visit an immortal cultivator in Liang Kingdom, but he never thought that he would not hear from him for two years, so he wrote to ask Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao, and even the two of them did not know the whereabouts of their brother.
"It's a guest from afar, the immortal chief wants to ask for a glass of wine to drink, you can come in!"
Su Chen walked back to the imperial staircase, pressed on the golden eagle guardrail on the side of the imperial staircase with one hand, and all the generals in the army also came together, they all entered the hall with armor for a banquet.
Intertwined eyes looked at the temple gate, an old man wearing a Taoist robe, slowly walked up the stone steps outside with his hands, and behind him there was the captain of the city gate who came to report the news, the moment he saw the old man, he fell directly to the ground, he rolled around the other party, and rushed to the temple gate.
"Your Majesty...... That's him...... He said at the gate of the imperial city that he saw His Majesty, and in the blink of an eye, he actually came here. ”
"Huh!"
The old Taoist priest stroked his beard and smiled, crossed the threshold of the temple gate directly, and ignored the generals on both sides, and just bowed casually.
"The Son of Heaven of Xia Kingdom, Poor Dao is a friend of Zhang Jiao, I don't know if I can have a seat to sit on?"
