Chapter 132: Betting
"Miss Cheng, are you there?" Yang Guo knocked on the door and asked.
"Is it Brother Yang? Come in...... Ah, don't come in yet!" Cheng Ying's slightly flustered voice sounded in the room.
"What are you doing? Could it be that you are about to strip and go to bed?" Yang Guo had just pushed the door open a crack when he heard the latter shout, and when he heard the latter shout, he was so frightened that he hurriedly closed the door with a "bang".
"Miss Cheng, if it's inconvenient for you now, I'll come back tomorrow. Yang Guo took a few steps back and said to the door.
"Squeak", the door was opened, Cheng Ying held the door with his hand, and said to Yang Guo: "It's nothing inconvenient, Brother Yang, please come in." ”
Yang Guo secretly looked at her clothes, and saw that she was fully dressed and her hair was in a neat bun, not like she was ready to sleep, so he couldn't help but mutter, and asked, "What were you doing in the room just now?"
"Nothing. Cheng Ying casually coped and asked, "Brother Yang is looking for me, but is there something wrong?"
Yang Guo walked into the room, looked around and said, "The Mongol army has been attacking the city for a day, and I came here to see you, so that you will not be frightened here alone." ”
"If I had been afraid, I would not have gone into the city with you. Cheng Ying walked to the table, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea, and then handed it to Yang Guo.
Yang Guo searched in the room, but found no clues, so he stopped thinking about what happened just now, took the teacup, sat down on the chair, and asked, "Have you been staying in the room all the time today?"
Cheng Ying glanced at him and said, "Brother Yang has the ability to do it. Naturally, she can go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but the little woman's skills are low. What else can you do if you're not in your room?"
Yang Guo heard that there seemed to be a slight complaint in her tone, and couldn't help touching her nose with her hand, and said with some embarrassment: "I forgot to inform you when I left this morning." Then he asked a little strangely, "How do you know what I'm doing when I'm out?"
Cheng Ying gestured to the outside slightly, and said: "This is also thanks to your sister and the blessing of the two followers, they have been talking about things outside all day long, and you have also said a lot of things, I can't even if I want to listen." ”
Yang Guo muttered when he heard this: "What do you call my sister? I am innocent with her." Then he asked, "Have you met all three of them?"
Cheng Ying said: "As soon as they saw me, they avoided me. How dare you embarrass me?"
Yang Guo couldn't help but smile and asked, "Has Aunt Guo come to see you?" Why didn't you reveal your identity to them?"
Cheng Ying shook his head and said, "The teacher doesn't want them to know his whereabouts, if I reveal my identity, once they ask about the teacher, it will be too troublesome for me to explain." ”
Yang Guo suddenly drank the tea in one gulp. He stood up and said, "Come with me." ”
Cheng Ying couldn't help asking, "It's already dark, where are you going at this time?"
Yang Guo said: "Today, I killed the Tartars, and the City Lord's Mansion held a banquet to reward the meritorious people, but I was also busy for a day, how can I fill my stomach if I don't go over?"
Cheng Ying said: "Since I am rewarding meritorious people, what credit do I have? Isn't it a joke when it passes? I still don't go." ”
Yang Guo said: "Don't worry. Today, I killed a lot of enemies, and half of the credit is shared with you, not to mention one meal, and ten more meals are enough. ”
Cheng Ying couldn't help but smile slightly, and said, "How can there be such an algorithm for registering credit?"
Yang Guo said: "Don't care if you have it. You haven't had dinner yet, right? Let's go over and eat together, and think of it as a companion for me. "I'm afraid she won't agree. And he said, "You should remember the agreement between us, right?"
"What ...... appointment" Cheng Ying reacted halfway through her words, remembering that Yang Guo forcibly carried her on the horse yesterday, and couldn't help but glare at him twice.
"Brother Yang will wait outside for a while, and I'll change my clothes. Cheng Ying said.
"Isn't this dress very good? In my opinion, it doesn't matter if you change your clothes or not, as long as you still have that scary thing on your face, what's the use of wearing clothes well?" Yang Guo walked outside the door according to his words, and turned back to Cheng Ying to persuade her to take off the mask.
"Bang" Cheng Ying directly closed the door and blocked the words behind him.
Yang Guo was bored, so he had to shut up and stop talking.
Cheng Ying closed the door, walked quickly to the bed, pulled out a page of paper under the mattress, stared at the dozen or so "Yang" characters written in light ink on it for a while, and then tore it to pieces and threw it into the paper basket.
When Cheng Ying came out of the room, Yang Guo looked at her clothes that had not changed at all, and asked with some confusion: "Aren't you going to change your clothes?
Cheng Ying said: "I have changed, my clothes are all the same." ”
Yang Guo couldn't help but be speechless, and said in his heart: "Since it's the same, what do you want to change? A woman's mind is really like a needle under the sea." ”
The two of them went out of the house, found a passer-by and asked for directions, and then went straight to the city lord's mansion.
When he arrived outside the Lu Mansion, there were two soldiers guarding the door with weapons, and Yang Guo stepped forward to clarify his identity and said his intention.
Since Yang Guo did not come with Guo Jing, and the soldiers guarding the door did not know him, they asked the two to wait at the door, and one of the soldiers entered to check Yang Guo's identity.
After a while, Guo Jing came out to greet him and said, "You guys came just in time, the banquet is about to start." ”
Yang Guo and Cheng Ying followed Guo Jing inside, walking all the way, the lights were bright, soldiers with weapons in hand and wearing clothes and armor patrolled and walked, and the courtyard and under the corridor were heavily guarded.
"It's really well guarded. Yang Guo said.
Guo Jing explained: "During the war, in order to prevent the Mongol army from infiltrating the city and committing assassinations, the guards in the palace must be strict. ”
The two of them had already reached the hall while talking, and Yang Guo glanced at it, the civilian, official and military generals were all gathered together, and the heroes and heroes were full of people, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.
Guo Jing originally wanted to place Yang Guo's seat next to him, but Yang Guo came here just to fill his stomach, and by the way, to see the excitement, if he was in the limelight, where could he still eat. rejected his kindness and took his place at the table. and Cheng Ying sat down next to each other.
After a while, the banquet began.
Xiangyang City pacified Lu Wenhuan and said: "Today, all the heroes and heroes present here helped each other, and worked together with our soldiers and generals to defeat the strong enemy, which can be described as a great contribution, and the commander is deeply grateful." Tonight, I will have a glass of wine to express my gratitude, and thank you for protecting the safety of the military and civilians in Xiangyang!"
Everyone raised their glasses in response and drank a glass of wine.
Lu Wenhuan put down the wine glass and said, "Everyone is killing the Mongolian Tartars." has made a lot of efforts, and now he must be hungry, so Ben Shuai won't say more. Except for the limited amount of wine tonight, all the rice, flour and meat can be eaten with your belly open, and no one should be restrained!"
This appeasement made him also have a bold temperament and did not talk nonsense. Yang Guo was hungry at this time, and he was worried that Lu Wenhuan would never finish talking about it. Unexpectedly, he only toasted a glass of wine and ordered the start of the banquet, and he immediately had a good impression of him in his heart.
Cheng Ying heard the words and said, "Did one meal buy your heart?"
Yang Guo smiled and said: "The food is small, but you can get a glimpse of the big festival from a small place, and our Han emperors and officials just talk too much nonsense and do too little practical things." That's why the huge country has become like this. ”
He said this as a joke, and after saying it casually, he began to bury his head in eating.
The wine and meat in the hall were fragrant, and everyone was eating and talking, and soon the noise became a mixture. Noisy.
Yang Guo ate a lot of food, and soon his belly was round. Seeing Cheng Yingzheng eating food gently, he couldn't help but say, "The way you eat is a little similar to my aunt, you have always been so elegant." ”
When Cheng Ying saw him mention "aunt", the warmth in his eyes was infinite, and he couldn't help but move in his heart, and said: "Your aunt is so good-looking, I am an ugly monster, but I can't compare with your aunt." ”
Yang Guo said, "How do you know that my aunt is good-looking? You haven't seen my aunt again. ”
Cheng Ying was about to speak, when a soldier hurriedly ran into the hall from outside and told Lu Wenhuan: "Report to the commander, General Yu was hung on the city gate!"
General Yu in the mouth of the soldiers is responsible for guarding the city gate, and his responsibilities are not small, as soon as he heard that General Yu had an accident, Lu Wenhuan couldn't help but be shocked, and asked: "What the hell is going on?
The soldier said, "Just now there is an old man with a white beard who came outside the city gate, let us open the city gate and let him in." General Yu was worried about fraud, so he did not agree to his request and asked him to leave quickly. But the old man just refused to leave, and said that if General Yu refused to open the city gate, he would open the city gate himself. General Yu said that if an old man opened the city gate, he would pull a rope and hang it from the city gate. ”
He spoke in one breath, paused and began to gasp.
Lu Wenhuan listened to half of the content, and hurriedly asked, "What happened later?"
The soldier relieved himself and continued: "The old man was very happy to hear General Yu say this, and said that he would make a bet with General Yu that if he opened the city gate, he would let General Yu hang himself on the city gate for a day, and if he couldn't open it, he would hang himself on the city gate for a day." At that time, we all thought that this old man was old and confused, and the tens of thousands of Mongol Tartar troops could not enter the city gate even a single step, and he even wanted to open the city gate. General Yu laughed at the old man's incompetence at that time, and in order to send him away as soon as possible, he asked him to open the city gate within half an hour. ”
Speaking of this, the soldiers were a little out of breath, so anxious that Lu Wenhuan really wanted to kick him, and everyone in the hall couldn't listen to it and was very uncomfortable, and hurriedly urged him to go on quickly.
The soldier was stared at by a knife-like gaze, and did not dare to slack off, and continued: "After General Yu finished betting with the old man, all of us waited to see the old man's joke. Who knew that the old man suddenly flew up, and reached the city gate in three or two clicks, and we were all dumbfounded. General Yu reacted and ordered an arrow to be shot at the old man. But the old man disappeared in a moment, and then we heard the sound of the gates being opened. General Yu led us down to check, and saw that the old man had opened the city gate, and shouted for General Yu to fulfill his promise. General Yu refused, and the old man was very angry, so he grabbed General Yu and hung him on the city gate. ”
