Zhang Yuanyuan just scolded "damn it", and Qiao Chongliang next to him immediately shouted: "Why don't you put on the banquet yet? Lord Gu is the special envoy of the palace and a distinguished guest, is there such a way of hospitality as yours? Our cottage is famous for hospitality, if you do this, where will the face of the owner of the big village go? Why don't you prepare the banquet quickly!"

As he spoke, Qiao Chongliang gently patted Zhang Yuanyuan's shoulder, and said with a smile on his face: "Dazhai master, the people below are slow, don't be angry, I will let them serve the food immediately, and I will never snub Lord Gu!

Although Zhang Yuanyuan was suspicious in his heart, he did not doubt Qiao Chongliang's resourcefulness and vision, so he also feigned a smile: "Damn, let you quickly set up a banquet, you are so slow! Is this still like our hospitality in Jiejiazhai? Damn, Lord Gu is a distinguished guest from the palace, and you are going to beat your ass when you treat me like this!"

Gu Anyue listened to the two of them scolding for the sake of the banquet, so she was relieved. smiled: "There's no rush about the banquet, let's talk about business first, hahaha...... The prince crowned the lord of Qiao Erzhai as a loyal general!"

As they were talking, the minions had already arranged the tables and chairs, and set up the banquet, and all the delicacies came up, such as roe deer and deer breasts, forest mushrooms, and pheasants and mountain hares. The chef's technique is skillful, and the fragrance on the entire Zhongyi Hall is so fragrant that people can't help but move their appetite. At this time, the sky was getting dark, and dozens of red butter candles the thickness of an arm were inserted on the Zhongyi Hall.

Zhang Yuanyuan and Qiao Chongliang must invite Gu Anyue to take a seat, and Gu Anyue took it upon himself to sit on the seat. Zhang Yuanyuan accompanied each other in the main seat, Qiao Chongliang accompanied each other, and the three of them pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and drank happily. Several minions on the table next to him took turns to come over and toast Gu Anyue. Gu Anyue drank a lot of wine, so he didn't shirk it, and the cup was dry as soon as it arrived, and everyone applauded.

During the banquet, Gu Anyue told the matter of inviting Zhang Yuanyuan to lead troops down the mountain to relieve the siege of the Yujiang River. Zhang Yuanyuan was about to hesitate, but Qiao Chongliang immediately kicked Zhang Yuanyuan under the table. Zhang Yuanyuan also reacted quickly, and said with a full mouth: "Since we are looked at by our prince, how dare I, Zhang Yuanyuan, not do my best? Lord Gu rest assured, I will send troops as soon as possible!"

Then Zhang Yuanyuan shouted to a fat-faced minion leader on the left seat: "Lu Dezhou, after a while, I will prepare grain and grass for 7,000 men and horses for Lao Tzu for half a month! Lao Tzu is about to send troops to Yujiang, you can't delay Lao Tzu's big business! Otherwise, Lao Tzu will be unkind to you!"

Lu Dezhou, the leader of the fat-faced minions, agreed, "Don't worry, Lord Dazhai, I won't miss anything if I drink no matter how much wine Lao Lu drinks, and I promise to prepare the grain and grass before tomorrow night!"

Gu An Yue

Zhang Yuanyuan acted so vigorously and resolutely, he put his mind at ease, and raised his glass again: "Yujiang Hou is so happy to do things, he is indeed a cadre! Gu will go back and say a lot of good words to the prince for the Hou Ye, in the future, we will be called ministers in the same palace, Yujiang Hou Such a capable minister will definitely tear the land and seal the territory, and he will be a very human minister, at that time, Yujiang Hou should not forget Gu Mou, and he must carry more of it!"

Zhang Yuanyuan was overjoyed by Gu Anyue's praise, patted Gu Anyue's shoulder and said with a smile: "Oh, Lord Gu is a close confidant of the prince, in the future, our prince will rule the world, and Lord Gu will definitely be the marquis and pay homage to the prime minister.

Qiao Chongliang stood up and snorted, "What Lord Hou said is extremely true! Lord Gu is by the side of Lord Gu, that is a big celebrity, please Lord Gu must say a few more kind words for our Lord Hou in front of the prince!" Qiao Chongliang leaned in Gu Anyue's ear again, and said in a low voice: "Our Lord Hou has prepared a thin gift for Lord Gu, it is not a tribute, and Lord Gu will laugh and accept it! In the future, we will be comrades-in-arms of a boat man, and I hope Lord Gu will take care of it!"

Gu Anyue knew that Zhang Yuanyuan had always been generous, and they said that it was a thin gift, so it must not be light! Gu Anyue's heart was full of joy, and he said in a loud voice: "Oh, how embarrassing is this? Let you break the bank, I don't want to go here? Okay, since Hou Ye and General Qiao are in love, then I will be cheeky and accept it! Ahahaha......"

Qiao Chongliang saluted Gu Anyue with a glass of wine, Gu Anyue drank the wine all, and the two of them showed each other their empty wine glasses, laughed and sat down. At the rest of the table, those minions also accompanied these officials from the Jiannan Palace, and the festive atmosphere of the whole banquet was quite strong, and that night, people on both sides went home happy.

Late at night, in Zhang Yuanyuan's bedroom, Qiao Chongliang and Zhang Yuanyuan sat opposite each other, and the two of them were carried back after the banquet just now. But now it seems that the two of them are not drunk. It turned out that the two of them put anti-alcohol medicine in the wine glass, and Gu Anyue was just a false and wrongful snake, and they played on the spot.

Zhang Yuanyuan asked softly: "Military advisor, his mother's cow wants me to be cannon fodder, and for him to fight the soldiers and horses of Lianshan County that surround Yujiang County, I was just about to curse, why did you take a detour to the banquet? I guess you want me to deal with this matter, so I swallowed the swear words back, tell me, what do you think about this matter! You don't really want me to lead troops to seize the Yujiang River, do you?"

Qiao Chongliang smiled, "Lao Zhang, we have been working together for four or five years, right?

Zhang Yuanyuan scratched his head, laughed, and then said seriously: "Old Qiao, you do not need to say anything to me?

You have never let me suffer, and I have tried my best to make you good, we are good friends who have fulfilled each other! I have nothing wrong with describing it, right......?

Qiao Chongliang nodded and said: "Lao Zhang, I'm very glad that you can think of this! You think, we have 8,000 elite soldiers on hand, and wherever we throw them, they are a force that cannot be underestimated." Although it is still impossible to see who loses and who wins, Tang Jiusheng of Weiwang obviously has an advantage over Niu Mandi, because he is justified and has the support of the imperial court behind him! Can Jiannan fight against the entire Great Shang? Obviously not!"

When Zhang Yuanyuan heard Qiao Chongliang say this, he couldn't help but get nervous, "Old Qiao, then why do you still let me be cannon fodder and go to Yujiang County? If we lose, won't it be over? If the army is defeated, who will take us seriously? Eight thousand elite soldiers are all our capital, no matter which group they are, they will attach importance to us!"

Qiao Chongliang said with a smile: "We are bandits now, don't look at what kind of Huaihua general you are and what kind of Yujiang marquis you are, it's all, he just wants us to give them their lives." But you think, when will we be a head when we are squatting on this mountain? We can't be bandits for the rest of our lives, right? Even if we go out to sell ourselves, do we have to find a way to sell them for a good price? You're right?"

Zhang Yuanyuan nodded and said: "Old Qiao, what you said is very reasonable, don't go around the corner, just say it, I'm a rough person, you can go around for a while and confuse me!"

Qiao Chongliang said in a low voice: "Niu is famous all over the place, he is now pushing us to the forefront, and confronting Tang Jiusheng, then don't we also take the opportunity to become famous? With fame, profit can keep up, Tang Jiusheng can't treat us the same as those stragglers, right? The more we beat him, the more he has to pay attention to us, right? Hey, so, we have to go to Yujiang County! What's more, Yujiang is so rich, you don't want to make a profit? Fame and fortune, ah?"

Zhang Yuanyuan's eyes lit up, "Old Qiao, what do you mean, let's use the banner of helping cattle all over the land to seek benefits for ourselves?

Qiao Chongliang said with a smile: "If people don't do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed! If the Yujiang River is really your fiefdom, don't you want it? In the land of fish and rice, how can the rich armor Jiannan just talk about it? Since the cattle are full of land and can't take back the Yujiang, he will also be a favor, saying that he will give us the Yujiang River, but in fact, he is just trying to use our strength to attack Tang Jiusheng! Why don't we just plan it?"

Zhang Yuanyuan laughed, stretched out his thumb, and praised: "Old Qiao, I understand what you mean, you still have a lot of ideas, okay, just listen to you! I will send troops to the direction of Yujiang!"
