Chang Anqing

Chapter 311 Hongmen Night Banquet
When the sun set on the western mountain and the sky was filled with sunlight, Zhao Yi, who had changed into normal clothes, took Li Shen and Li Wei together and headed for the flower hall where the banquet was held.

Through the flowers and willows, Zhao Yi discovered that although the back house in the governor's mansion was large, it was not gorgeous, and it didn't have the slightest official dignity. It seemed to be just an ordinary common people's house. It is also more elegant than here.

When walking to a cobblestone road, Zhao Yi heard Li Shen behind him yelling in surprise: "Isn't the lady Wang in front?"

Sure enough, Zhao Yi followed the sound and saw a girl in an ordinary plain skirt with her sleeves rolled up squatting in the vegetable bed carefully digging the green vegetables in the field. Her movements looked skillful and natural. Clean and neat, without the slightest pride and dignity of an official's daughter.

Just as Wang Su grabbed the green vegetables, shook the dirt on them, put them into the vegetable basket beside him, and was about to stand up with the basket in hand, he saw that it seemed to get up too fast, staggering and about to fall again.

Because Zhao Yi walked in the front and was the closest, he instinctively stepped forward in three steps at a time, and supported him with one hand. The sound of the vegetable basket falling back to the ground startled everyone, and Wang Su glanced at it. Zhao Yi, who supported himself to save himself from being injured, immediately withdrew his hand, stepped back gracefully and said, "Thank you, King Yuling."

Zhao Yi let out a "hmm" and then asked, "Is Lady Wang okay?"

Hearing Zhao Yi's inquiry, Wang Su shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I've been squatting for a long time and got up too quickly, so it's not a serious problem."

After all, Wang Su squatted down to pick up the dropped vegetable basket and said, "Today's rough tea and light food is really a shame, and I hope King Yuling will take care of it."

"Mistress Wang is modest."

After some courtesies, Zhao Yi and his party came to the flower hall, and greeted Wang Jian who came to greet him for a while. When the sky was getting dark, a house slave came forward to greet him respectfully.

"King Yuling, please."

"Inspector, please."

During the push, when Zhao Yi walked to the side hall of the flower hall, he saw a round table with various home-cooked dishes. Although the ingredients could not be simpler, they were full of color and fragrance, which made people feel refreshed appetite.

With the rustling of their clothes, everyone sat down, and Wang Jian immediately pointed out a dish of steamed fish to Zhao Yi in a hospitable manner: "This dish is Su Niang's best, King Yuling and the two generals can try it."

Hearing that he had picked up a small piece of fish with chopsticks, the taste was tender and smooth, and everyone was full of praise, Wang Jian picked up the wine cup and said: "Today I would like to thank you all with bouillon, I will do it first as a respect."

While speaking, Wang Jian drank wine into his throat, very refreshed.

Since the host was warm and forthright, Zhao Yi and the others naturally drank a cup of wine and did not make any excuses.

All the people at the dinner table were eating happily, and when the wine was dripping, Wang Su, who was dressed in a plain dress, just walked in.

After saluting, everyone present looked for the taste and saw the maidservant behind Wang Su offering hot soup.

"This soup is delicious, Su Niang will add another bowl for King Yuling herself."

Hearing Wang Jian laugh out loud, Zhao Yi said, "The governor is being polite."

"Ai--"

Before Zhao Yi finished speaking, Wang Jian said: "It's okay, you are guests, so you should be like this."

Seeing that Wang Su and his maid had added soup for Zhao Yi, Li Shen, and Li Wei, Wang Jian smiled and invited, "How about a taste?"

While speaking, Li Shen and Li Wei were about to pass the soup to their mouths, but they heard the bowl suddenly fall on the table, the voice was not loud but definitely not low.

"Your Majesty—"

Li Shen and Li Wei followed the sound and saw that the soup bowl in front of Zhao Yi was overturned for some reason, and the hot soup inside even wet Zhao Yi's clothes.

In an instant, Zhao Yi saw Wang Jian's eyes froze.

The next moment Zhao Yi pretended to be sorry and said drunkenly: "It seems that this wine is so intoxicating that I can't even hold this bowl."

After all, Zhao Yi stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Tonight, the governor is hosting a banquet, and I am very grateful to you. It's getting late at the moment, and tomorrow I will arrive in Lizhou early in the morning, so I won't disturb you any more. "

Seeing that he couldn't wait for himself to speak, Zhao Yi was already saying goodbye in front of him, Wang Jian's heart suddenly became alert, and his expression was a little strange, while Li Shen and Li Wei at the side also sensed that something was wrong at this moment, and immediately stepped forward to follow suit sternly. Zhao Yixing bowed and turned around to leave.

Just when the three of them walked to the door of the flower hall, the endless sound of clashing weapons suddenly came from all directions. At this moment, Li Shen and Li Wei's eyes were fixed, and they stepped forward like beasts with vigilance. Guard behind.

At the same time, two ranks of government soldiers in armor rushed in from the door like a torrent, and in a blink of an eye, the water surrounding the three of them was blocked.

"What does the governor mean by that?"

Compared to Li Shen and Li Wei, Zhao Yi at this moment seemed unusually calm, his head was clearly asking questions, but the reminder from the bottom of his eyes sounded like overtones.

Hearing Zhao Yi's words, although Wang Jian smiled, but in an instant, he had already changed into a different person. There was no trace of Qingjun as a scholar and loyal minister. undoubtedly.

"King Yuling, if you drink this bowl of soup today, you can still leave a decent body."

While speaking, Wang Jian slowly moved his eyes from the still steaming soup to Zhao Yi and the others, and said word by word: "If you are stubborn and insist on resisting, then you can't blame me—"

"Wang Jian!"

Seeing Wang Jian's true face, Li Shen immediately clenched his fists, his eyes flashed sparks of anger, and he almost gritted his teeth and said, "You dare to plot rebellion!"

"Treason?"

Wang Jian laughed loudly when he heard the words, as if he had heard something that couldn't be more interesting. He waited until the moment his smile subsided, and then he bowed his hands devoutly and looked in the direction of Beichen.

"I, Wang Jiansheng, and Da Zhou were Jinshi during Chengzu's reign. We have received the grace of the emperor of Zhou, and we have come all the way to this day!"

The impassioned words hit the ears like thunder, and they hit the ground heavily. At this moment, Wang Jian gradually had tears in his eyes, and said with undisguised sarcasm and coldness on his lips: "Tie Yang is a traitor, and Mu Zhou's kindness, Don't drink water to think about the source, but revenge for kindness, murder the emperor, kill loyal ministers, and conspire to usurp the throne. Now it is getting worse, even the royal family of the Zhou family will not let it go. Raising troops in the body of Zhou Chen is to do justice for the heavens and restore the Zhou family, so why talk about rebellion!"

The categorical words were as loud and heavy as a rock, and there was silence everywhere at this moment, only the shadow of the candle flickered, telling the doomed uneasiness tonight.

"So, regardless of the lives of the people in Yanzhou, you have long colluded with the rebels and deliberately used the siege to lure us into the city for rescue, so that we can all be wiped out?"

Hearing this, Wang Jian raised his head indifferently, and was not shaken by the people. On the contrary, he said almost paranoidly: "Now the people in Yanzhou are all the people of his bandit Yang. What do you have to do with me?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Shen sarcastically said from the side: "The little Yanzhou city also wants to trap my one hundred thousand Xuanjia army?"

Wang Jian smiled when he heard the words, and looked at the gradually darkening night outside in a calm manner, then turned his gaze to Zhao Yi and the other three, and said calmly: "Now the great general Chang Huan has been trapped by drugs, and I don't know yet. Whether you can see the sun outside or not, as for you, no matter how powerful you are, the three of you are no match for our entire army, as long as you are dead, the dragons will have no leader, and the Xuanjia army will be nothing but stragglers."
