Northern Prefecture Rivers and Mountains

Chapter 147 Brother
The Western Army is still confronting the Northern Army.

Now that Wang Gong is dead, Huan Xuan has become a thorn in Sima Daozi's side, and Huan Hong actually dares to come out and make trouble at this time...

However, Huan Hong was the son of Huan Chong. When Huan Chong was alive, he had a good relationship with the Sima family. The court posthumously awarded him the title of Taiwei and the posthumous name of Xuanmu Gong.

The disaster will not affect other branches.

Wang Xin of the Wang family of Langya raided the Sima family's past in the Three Wus, and his cousin Wang Xun also defected to Sima Daozi.

Xie Xuan died under unclear circumstances, but his brother Xie Yan continued to serve as an official under Sima Daozi.

Now that Wang Gong is gone, Sima Daozi is in a state of panic and cannot do anything about him.

Liu Daogui changed into a decent set of clothes, still wearing a layer of chain mail underneath, and asked Liu Zun and Zhao Lunzhi to lead the 400 troops in the rear to get ready.

It's better to be prepared. These days, nothing can be predicted. If Huan Hong gets drunk or loses consciousness after taking Wu Shi San, we can be prepared for any trouble he might cause.

The general's mansion was brightly lit, with big red lanterns hung and carpets and barriers laid out.

A cheerful look.

"Oh, Brother Liu, why did you come just now? You made me wait so long." Huan Hong went out to greet him happily with a big belly.

The other officials nearby looked at him with envy and jealousy.

Liu Daogui was stunned. What was going on?

When did I become his "little brother"?

He quickly walked over and bowed, "Your subordinate greets the envoy."

"What do you mean by envoy or not? Brother Liu may not know, but I have been dismissed from my position as the governor of Qingzhou by the court a long time ago. Come on, let's go in and tell me in detail." Huan Hong looked naive and looked like a harmless fat man.

He was not like this before. He always looked down upon the corrupt officials from poor families.

The hall was brightly lit, with flowers in bloom, and maids were walking around in it.

Yuan He, Liu Yi, and Meng Chang had arrived long ago, and Dai Qizhi, who was sitting at the last seat, looked like a lost dog. With Wang Gong gone, he was also in trouble.

The seats are fixed, and Liu Daogui looked at his seat.

Gao Xun and Tan Zhi seemed to want to say something.

Liu Daogui was about to walk over, but Huan Hong pulled him back and led him to Xun Xinzhi's original seat. "Brother Liu, sit next to me."

"How dare I overstep my bounds?" Liu Daogui quickly declined.

"What's the point of crossing the line? I said you can sit down if you want."

After not seeing him for such a long time, Huan Hong has gained a lot of weight and his eyes are almost narrowed into a line.

Liu Daogui was pulled by his fat hands and had to sit down. He glanced at the others and found that no one dared to look at him, including Yuan He and Liu Yi.

"Oh my, the Liu family of Pengcheng is indeed extraordinary. Your future is limitless. Come on, drink this cup, and all the past will be in the past." Huan Hong picked up a glass of wine.

The maid on the left helped Liu Daogui fill his cup, and the maid on the right leaned towards Liu Daogui, holding his warm and soft body in her arms.

A gust of fragrant wind blew over, making people dizzy.

Pengcheng Liu family...

Liu Daogui suddenly realized that Huan Hong was not respecting him, but Liu Laozhi!
Who is Liu Laozhi now? He is the commander-in-chief of the seven prefectures of Yan, Qing, Ji, You, Bing, Xu, and Yang, as well as the military affairs of Jinling. He is stationed in Jingkou and is the actual controller of the Northern Palace Army.

The entire Pengcheng Liu family's door lintel was also lifted up.

As long as Liu Laozhi does not make any principled mistakes in the future, his status will only get higher and higher.

No wonder everyone is in awe of me today.

The officialdom is so realistic. When someone in the family rises, there will naturally be people who come to flatter him.

Although Liu Laozhi was not very close to the Liu family before, blood ties and clan ties could not be removed.

"No matter in the past or in the future, I will always be loyal to the general!" Liu Daogui raised his wine glass with both hands, and even he felt that what he said was corny.

"Hahaha, brother, you're so straightforward." Huan Hong was quite pleased. He clapped his hands, and a group of dancers entered the stage. They were dressed very lightly and danced gracefully to the sound of stringed instruments. One of them was dressed in red, with a graceful figure. The lights were brilliant, and her long sleeves fluttered as she danced. Surrounded by the other women like a star, her watery peach blossom eyes were always fixed on Liu Daogui.

The sounds of stringed instruments grew louder, and the dance became more and more exciting.

The dancers spread out and danced lightly among the seats.

The dancer in red "swam" in front of Liu Daogui, swaying like a willow tree, and slowly came up to him.

The maid on the right stuffed a pill into Liu Daogui's mouth, but Liu Daogui quickly blocked it and said, "No need."

It’s better not to touch Wu Shi San. I don’t know how many people have died from taking this stuff.

But the others had already swallowed it, with looks of enjoyment on their faces.

Liu Daogui was originally a very self-controlled person with a strong mind. He was not blinded by alcohol and sex, but he was a little uncomfortable with this kind of occasion.

Huan Hong was surrounded by women, just like before, and fell into the crowd of women.

I thought there were some military matters to discuss, but it turned out to be just sensual pleasures.

Liu Daogui avoided the dancer, picked up the wine pot and toasted Yuan He, Meng Chang, Liu Yi and others, and said some polite words. He still had to do some superficial work.

The nobles at the upper seats toasted everyone and then went to toast the corrupt officials at the lower seats.

Liu Daogui did not lose his mind because of his sudden status. Without the support of the grassroots soldiers, he was nothing.

Sitting in the position of Chief Secretary for Conquering the Enemy Army does not mean that you are really the Chief Secretary, and the praise given by others may not be sincere.

After two rounds, the party reached its climax. Someone even fast-forwarded a round behind the screen...

Huan Hong's Five Stones Powder also took effect on his head, and his face flushed.

Liu Daogui saw that it was almost time and was about to leave with Gao Xun and Tan Zhi. A fragrant breeze blew behind him, "How could you, a soldier, abandon me?"

As he turned around, a warm and soft beauty came into his arms. It was the dancer in red. Her eyes were full of passion, and her charm was mixed with a hint of sadness.

"Brother Liu, do you want to imitate Qu Yuan and be the only one sober while everyone else is drunk? Yu Nu was chosen by me especially for you, so you can't let her down." Huan Hong stood up with the help of two maids.

What he said was actually very serious and contained a hint of threat.

What he meant was that if he left today, it would be an insult to him and everyone would be embarrassed.

Everyone knows their own business. Although Liu Laozhi has risen to prominence, it does not mean that Liu Daogui and his family will also rise to prominence. If something really happens, others cannot be relied upon, and Liu Laozhi may not necessarily show up. One can only rely on oneself.

In this power struggle, the Huan family was also one of the winners and gradually gained control of the military power of the Western Palace. Huan Hong might rise again at any time.

It's not worth offending him.

At this time, Liu Yi also joined in, "Liu Canjun has always been a clean and honest person. I'm afraid he would look down on such a vulgar woman."

The atmosphere in the hall immediately turned cold.

Yu Nu's whole body trembled, and her face was full of fear and pleading.

If a beautiful woman like her were to be despised by others, she would probably not have a good ending when she returned.

During the Zhongchao period, Shi Chong held a banquet and ordered his beauties to persuade guests to drink. If the guests refused, he would kill the beauties. Wang Dao was kind-hearted and tried his best to drink even though he didn't know how to drink. Wang Dun was cruel and refused to drink even though he knew how to drink. Shi Chong killed three women on the spot.

According to the laws of the Wei and Jin dynasties, masters could kill slaves, servants, and retainers at will without being held accountable by the government.

Huan Hong was also a descendant of a noble family, and it was obvious that this woman was specially chosen by him. She had made her master lose face, and he would not have a good ending.

Liu Daogui embraced the beauty in his arms and said, "It would be disrespectful for me to refuse this gift from General Huan."

The world is so chaotic, who are you pretending to be pure for?

This is the trend these days. Once a man climbs up the social ladder, he will inevitably have three wives and four concubines.

Moreover, this jade slave is indeed charming and attractive, and any man would be attracted to her.

"Hahaha, if a man doesn't indulge himself in romance, he's wasting his youth. Don't be so reserved, brother." Huan Hong lay down again...
