Chapter Seventy-Five: Shi Yan, the guest of the banquet, came uninvited
In the evening, there had just been a shower, and there were still puddles of water on the wet road. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The frogs came to the side of the road, crawling lazily and unhurriedly, but, as soon as someone walked by, they would plop up into the ditch that had just been filled with rain, and plunge into the deep grass on the opposite bank, revealing a pair of large bulging eyes and two small nostrils to breathe. Also, keep an eye on the road to see if your surroundings are safe.
However, they found that the two people who had just walked by were neither farmers with hoes and cows, nor the lady who picked mulberries in the crotch basket, they were a young man and woman. The tall and young figure of the man, with some stubble still remaining on his cheeks, did not hold the girl's hand, but held an ordinary pine-patterned ancient sword.
And the girl, empty-handed, had a touch of sorrow on her lovely and charming face, like a sunny sky after a rainy day, although the air was fresh and cool, but dusk was near!
One of them is the great hero Nanjian who killed the bandit Yuan Evil Han Dang and rescued the chief soldier Yan Kui, and the other is Yang Ziyan, a girl who performs the art of rejuvenation and uses a dose of good medicine to bring the young son of the general soldier back to life.
These two guests tonight are important guests at the banquet of the General Soldier's Mansion, and the purpose is to thank them in person, and in addition, the Lord of the General Soldier Yankui also wants to take this opportunity to explain some important things to them.
The two of them came to the gate of the General Soldier's Mansion again, but the doorman had already been replaced, but because they were the new guards, the passage of Nanjian and the others would be interrogated and blocked. On the contrary, this time when they entered the house, not only did the doorman not squeak, but also the noisy drum music greeted them at the door, inviting them warmly to the door.
Seeing that as soon as they arrived at the door, Yan Qian took the lead in rushing forward, took Yang Ziyan's hand, and said enthusiastically and excitedly:
"Sister, you're so beautiful tonight!"
She did dress up meticulously tonight, with light makeup and delicate ornaments, and she was as beautiful as a peach blossom, because she was fully prepared to die with the enemy! Therefore, she dressed herself up beautifully and calmly went on the road in accordance with the customs and habits of her hometown!
The chief soldier Yan Kui also appeared in the greeting procession, and some people said that even if the imperial court sent ministers and high-ranking officials, he never personally stood at the door to greet them. It turns out that he is still a person who knows how to repay his kindness, after all, the grace of saving lives is extraordinary.
"Nan Shaoxia, you really do what you say, very punctual!" he said as he waved his sword at Nan.
"Your Excellency is gracious!" Nanjian replied.
The two of them walked up the stone steps of the General Military Mansion as they spoke, while the rest of the greeters followed behind, talking and laughing, most of these people were officials of all levels of the General Military Mansion, like the Governor Xu Gang and the group of young men who had crossed the ball with him.
And just when he stepped up the stone steps, he had no intention of glancing at it, but let Nan Jian see that on the right side of the General Military Mansion Building, among several houses next to the main road, there was a person flashing in the corner of the house, as if he was also observing the movement of the comer. Therefore, Nanjian remained silent and secretly in his heart.
The reception hall of the General Military Palace is extraordinary, with large seats, grand murals, intricately carved beams and columns, brightly colored pottery, clean and comfortable mahogany floors, and so on. Tonight's Yan Qian is generous, and she looks smart and lively among the guests, and she is extremely cute.
When the food and wine were on the table, and everyone was seated, a doorman hurried and whispered a few words to his master, the chief soldier, and immediately the chief soldier Yan Kui smiled and said:
"Then invite him in!"
And this sentence, Nan Jian also heard it, he was thinking in his heart who was coming, so he heard a familiar voice, laughed and walked into the hall and said:
"Hey, it's so lively, it looks like I'm here at the right time!"
"Brother Shi, you really came in time!" Yan Kui stroked his palms and laughed and got up to sit down, and said, "We were about to start, and you came!"
As soon as Nan Jian turned around, he saw Shi Yan, a great benevolent man, and walked in happily, and when he saw Nan Jian, he smiled and said:
"Oh, it turns out that Nan Shaoxia and Miss Yang are also here, and they are all old friends!"
As he spoke, he sat down in the place he had just added to Yankyu's right. When everyone's cups were filled with wine, Yan Kui was the first to stand up and say:
"Relatives and friends, colleagues, the main purpose of this grand gathering here tonight is to thank the two benevolent fathers for saving their lives!" he said as he looked at Nan Jian and Yang Ziyan, and enthusiastically introduced the two of them to everyone:
"This is the young and promising Nan Shaoxia and Nan Jian, and this is the gentle and virtuous Yang Ziyan and Miss Yang!" So, everyone also greeted them.
"Without the love of the two benefactors, the consequences for our family today would be unimaginable!" Yan Kui finally said, "Let's toast together and celebrate today's victory!"
As he spoke, he took the lead in finishing the glass of wine, and then everyone toasted.
Coincidentally, everyone was about to pick up the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, when they saw the three guests opposite fainting and collapsed, followed by Nan Jian and Yang Ziyan also fainted on the table. Seeing this, Yan Kui was shocked, and hurriedly asked the sifting maid:
"What's going on, who poisoned the wine?"
"It's me, my lord!" I saw Zhao Baotong, the deputy envoy of the army, walking out of the back door, bowing his hand and saying, "Please forgive your sins! The lower official knows that you have always been kind-hearted, and you can't be ruthless to these two enemies, so you dare to take a step in your humble position!"
"You're so confused!" Yan Kui was so angry that he smashed the cup on the ground, smashed it on the ground, and said, "Why don't you take out the antidote and wake up the two Engong!"
"Why do you want to save them!" Zhao Baotong plucked up his courage and said, "Lord, the two of them are here to assassinate your family!"
"Then we have to wake them up!" said Yeonkyu, "they're here to kill me, not you, it's none of your business here." Get the antidote!"
"Lord, I knew that you were kind-hearted and would do this," Zhao Baotong said, "So, in the cups of the two of them, all I put on the Heding Red Poison, and there is no antidote to this poison!"
When Yan Kui heard this, his face turned pale, and he yelled angrily and scolded him:
"Zhao Baotong, although you, you, and you are my loyal and good brother, and you have also followed me in the south and the north to fight, and have been born and died for many years; but you are very wrong in this matter, and you think you can save my life by killing them both? You are wrong! Now that I am so gracious and will take revenge, what face do I have to live in the world! You, you are really too much to do!"
"My lord, please calm your anger," Zhao Baotong said, "these two people should not have come to southern Yunnan in the first place, since they came, one of them will have to pay for his life, and Nanjian is excellent in swordsmanship, no one can think of winning him." So, for us to be safe, they have to die. ā
"You're still obsessed, you get me out!" Yan Kui said, pulling out the sword that Nanjian put on the table, and made up his mind to apologize for his crimes, so he said, "Nan Shaoxia, Miss Yang, although I know that the purpose of your trip is to assassinate our family, you are chivalrous and righteous everywhere. And today, I just want to take this opportunity to explain to you that grievance, I don't want you to be killed by my bastards, how can this old man have the face to live in the world!"
After that, he will swing his sword horizontally, and he will kill himself by the neck.
