24 Pitching the pitcher
Seeing that Yan Sidao agreed, Jiang Wangcai immediately smiled slightly, and said to Yan Sidao with a pleasant face: "Please take a seat, sir." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 As he spoke, he flipped his palms and made a gesture to invite him to take a seat, motioning for Yan Sidao to sit down on the empty seat on the right.
When Yan Sidao sat down behind the mahogany case in the right chief position, Jiang Wangcai nodded to Yun Lao behind him. Na Yun Lao immediately stepped out slowly, walked past the seats of Jiang Wangcai, Fang Dongfeng and Yan Sidao in turn, picked up the three teapots that were originally placed on the mahogany case, pulled out the lid of the pot, and placed them on the ground in front of the three people. It looks like he wants to use this teapot, which is only the size of a cup, as a pitcher for the moment.
Sure enough, Jiang Wangcai explained with a smile: "I think this Yueyang Mansion was once lively, but now it is deserted. So in a hurry, I couldn't find a wine cup for pitching pots, so I had to use this teapot to make do, and please don't blame Mr. ”
Yan Sidao hurriedly replied: "The guest is as he pleases, how dare you be surprised." However, listening to Jiang Wangcai's words, there is clearly an extraneous meaning, as if he is lamenting the fickleness of people's hearts and the warmth of human feelings. He thought about it carefully, it was the first time he had met this Jiang Wangcai today, let alone any friendship, so Jiang Wangcai's feelings at this moment were naturally not sent to him. However, at this moment, in this public court, in addition to himself, there is only Fang Dongfeng in the middle of the seat, could it be that the Dongting Lake Lord and the Dongting Lake Military Division have some estrangement between each other?
You must know that Yan Sidao came this time, originally planning to control the seven-inch key point of the big snake in Dongting Lake in one fell swoop, and to find out the reality of this "Dongting One Phoenix" Fang Dongfeng, but unexpectedly, Jiang Wangcai, the owner of Dongting Lake, who had been missing for a long time, actually appeared here at this moment, and invited himself to play with them. Although Yan Sidao knows the rules of pitching pots, he is not good at it, and now that the old lady is no longer around, he is alone in the face of Jiang Wangcai and Fang Dongfeng in the court, so he naturally can't preemptively strike according to the previous plan. At the moment, Yan Sidao had to be quietly braked, and wait and see what the changes were, to see what the mystery was in this so-called pitcher.
But in a moment, the old man Yun had already placed the three teapots properly, and placed them six feet in front of the left, center, and right seats. In this situation, compared to the words of Jiang Wangcai, who was full of ambition and the eyes of the thief, Fang Dongfeng, who was in the middle seat, closed his eyes again since he opened his mouth to drink the old lady who retreated from Zhang, and he looked like he was asleep, which made people more and more incomprehensible.
I only heard Jiang Wangcai raise his voice and say: "Brother Feng, the previous pot throwing scenes between you and me were all imitations of the ancient method, with a total of eight feather arrows. Four of the two teams are thrown, and the one with the most arrows wins, which does not need to be changed. Now that this Mr. Xiao is also involved, then the total number of feather arrows will be increased to 12, and each person will still throw four, what do you think?"
Fang Dongfeng, who was in the middle seat, not only did not answer, he didn't even open his eyes, he just nodded slightly, and he agreed to Jiang Wangcai's proposal. Then Yun Lao opened his mouth and asked, "Mr. Feng, can there be feather arrows for throwing pots here?"
Without waiting for Fang Dongfeng to react, Jiang Wangcai immediately smiled and said, "This is Jiang's negligence, and he didn't bring these utensils with him in a hurry." Now that the teapot has been used instead of the wine cup, it is worth changing it along with the feather arrows of the pitcher. Yun Lao, you can go to the kitchen in the back hall and take a look at the twelve bamboo chopsticks. The old man said yes and went to the back hall. Jiang Wangcai looked at Fang Dongfeng at this time, and said with a smile: "Jiang was in a hurry at a certain time, so he made a claim privately. I don't know if Brother Feng has any objections?"
Fang Dongfeng's eyes were closed, and he suddenly laughed in a low voice, the laughter was like a lost crow in the twilight, hoarse and poignant. When he stopped laughing, he immediately said lightly: "Your Excellency has arranged everything carefully, and the old man should accompany him as a subordinate of Dongting Lake." Why does Your Excellency need to do this to ask about the meaning of the old decay?" Jiang Wangcai's eyes flashed, and then he also laughed.
Yan Sidao listened to the conversation between Jiang Wangcai and Fang Dongfeng at the moment, and then looked at the two who were looking at each other and laughing, and suddenly realized, and couldn't help but be a little secretly funny. I thought that I came to this Yueyang Mansion today, it was a feast of Hongmen, and I wanted to have a war of words with this Dongfeng, and then finalize the battle situation of the entire Dongting Lake. Unexpectedly, the current Hongmen banquet above the public court is not fake, but the protagonists are clearly Jiang Wangcai and Fang Dongfeng. In the midst of it, he became a supporting role as a foil, or even just an inconsequential spectator.
It must be known that this Yan Sidao came to Huguang in person this time, and along the way, he deliberately contacted many forces, so as to use interests to form them into the same camp, in order to level Longyue Island today. However, now that the battle of Dongting Lake is imminent, Jiang Wangcai and Fang Dongfeng, as the two highest-ranking leaders on Dongting Lake, do not seem to care at all, but instead hide far away in this deserted Yueyang Mansion to compete against each other, discussing what kind of pot throwing game to play, completely ignoring the safety of Longyue Island in Dongting Lake.
For a while, Yan Sidao's heart, which was originally nine out of ten, couldn't help but be a little shaken: did Jiang Wangcai and Fang Dongfeng not care about the life and death of Dongting Lake at all, or did they already have the certainty of victory early on?
At that moment, Yan Sidao did not deliberately hide the doubts in his heart, he took a puff of dry smoke in his hand, and asked tentatively: "Admire and admire, the two are worthy of being strange people in the world, and sure enough, Mount Tai collapsed in front and did not change color, and the elk was happy on the left and did not look instantly." It is necessary that the 20,000 troops of Chengtianfu are menacing at the moment, and the general who leads the army is Xie Qinghui, the second son of Xie Fengxuan, the first general in the world, and the three armies have already made an oath of 'not breaking the cave and never returning', and a bloody battle is imminent. When this critical existential situation, the two of them want to pull me to play here and throw the pot, hehe, please forgive me for being stupid, I really can't see through the true meaning of this. ”
Hearing Yan Sidao's aggressive words, Jiang Wangcai didn't care, and just said lightly: "I heard that this Mr. Xiao can empty the white wolf with just a sharp mouth, and incite many forces to work together to attack my Dongting Lake. Jiang was originally a little skeptical about this, but fortunately, he saw it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears at this moment. I am afraid that there is no second person in the world who can do this except for Mr. came by heart, Jiang admired Mr. very much. ”
Yan Sidao hurriedly smiled and said, "Pass the award, pass the award." He was about to wait for Jiang Wangcai to continue, but when Jiang Wangcai came to this point, he didn't say anything, but looked at Fang Dongfeng in the middle seat, and said with a smile: "Brother Feng, you and I used to play pot throwing games, and we always had to bet on some lottery heads, so that we could have a good time." Now, as Mr. Xiao said, Dongting Lake is facing a battle for survival, and there are tens of thousands of people in the middle of the war. So at this moment, you and I are competing in pitching, if you don't bet some heavy bets, you will inevitably be a little sorry for the tens of thousands of lives. ”
