Xie Ming

A camp was set up by the water in Zhuxian Town. Inside the commander's tent, the host and guests took their seats and began singing and dancing.

Wu Sangui started the banquet by toasting and took the opportunity to use the woman as an excuse to instigate a conversation to get closer to her.

However, it was obvious that Xiao and Qi were not interested in this at the moment and ignored it.

Moreover, Qi Gang was anxious because he had been searching for Qiu Maohua and Xie Sufu in vain, and he even changed the subject and talked about this.

"Ha ha ha ha."

"You are a great man, and you are still in your prime. Why should you worry about not having women who appreciate you? Haha."

"Oh, by the way, Marshal, I came all the way here, how come I didn't see Magistrate Qiu and Assistant Secretary Xie today?"

"Logically speaking, they have done a great service by hosting the event, so they should come and meet each other!"

Qi Gang digressed and asked the real question immediately, fearing that Wu Sangui would just give a perfunctory answer.

"Uh, this."

"Haha, Brother Qi, you don't know something."

"In the past two days, there have been some troublemakers in Kaifeng."

"The two of them jointly manage the city's public security."

"I am an outsider general, stationed in the city to guard it, but I am not willing to interfere in the trivial matters of the people inside."

"Thanks to the hard work of these two, Kaifeng has achieved peace and stability."

"Just this morning, just before work started, several households in the east of the city started quarreling again because of a dispute over land."

"There's no other way. The two of them have to go there."

"There is only one person left, to welcome the Governor and Brother Qi."

"Hahaha, Brother Qi, please forgive me for my poor hospitality!"

Wu Sangui was good at improvising and speaking eloquently.

Originally, he brought Xie Sufu here because he was afraid that Xiao Xing's team would find out the flaw and fail.

But what can we do about that piece of useless trash named Xie, who is no longer useful? So we have no choice but to leave it like this.

Besides, now that Xiao, Qi and others have entered the camp, they are ready to join the game.

Therefore, no matter what Qiu and Xie said, even if Wu Sangui did not have the eloquence to argue, it would be meaningless to argue.

"Haha, if that's the case, then it should be so."

"No matter how small the matter is, it is important to do your job well."

"However, Marshal Wu, there is no need to be so modest."

"Kaifeng City is an important town."

"In recent months, thanks to the presence of the commander-in-chief, the bandits and mandrills in the surrounding areas have stopped causing trouble."

"I have long admired the commander's ability to lead troops."

"Come, drink this cup to the full, oh, drink this cup to the full."

Xiao Jingchuan took over the conversation and they went back and forth, drinking together at the table.

Meanwhile, when Wu Sangui was pouring wine, Xiao Lang secretly glanced at Qi Gang and responded with a hasty look.

Both of them realized that something might be fishy, ​​but they were too anxious to act out in front of others.

That is why I hide the things in my eyes in order to seek future plans.

It's okay, at the banquet, people clinked glasses and drank a few more cups.

After the song was over, the dancers were replaced by three or five new ones, dressed in silk and satin, with graceful waist movements, looking even more unrestrained.

After that, we just have to wait for three rounds of wine and five dishes.

Qi Gang looked for an opportunity and pretended to blush. Then he took the opportunity to get up and go out to find a toilet, saying that he had drunk too much and had to pee urgently.

Afterwards, Changting came out together with the same legs.

Wu Sangui couldn't detain him, so he had to tell the officials in front of the tent to take him with him.

When we left the commander's tent, the officer from Wu camp led us along the way, being very careful.

And frequent coughing is a warning.

Qi and Gu glanced at each other furtively.

No matter how defensive that fellow was, he could not escape the eyes of the court once he saw the chaotic footprints on both wings behind the tent.

When going to the toilet, Qi Gang played a trick and said that he wanted to defecate, and asked the official accompanying him to get toilet paper.

There was no other way. Just when the man was about to leave, Qi and Gu seized the opportunity to whisper something to him.

"Brother Qi, something doesn't seem right."

"Just outside the commander's tent, I saw dust rising from both wings, and there were messy footprints on the ground."

"Maybe there are assassins hiding outside the tent, looking for an opportunity to kill us." "We can't stay here any longer, we must think of a way to get the general to leave as soon as possible."

Jin Changting spoke in a low voice, his face panicked, unable to wait even a moment.

Upon hearing this, Qi Gang also stood up in shock.

"Uh, is this true?"

"I never noticed that."

"Changting, this is not a joke. Are you sure?"

In order to get out of the banquet, Qi Gang drank a few more glasses, so his reaction was somewhat delayed.

"It shouldn't be wrong."

"And we are in a tiger's den, so we need to be cautious in everything we do."

"Even if we are not sure, we must not let the general take risks again!" Changting's words were very clear.

After hearing these words, Qi Gang was almost sober.

"Yeah."

"Changting, you are right."

"To prevent any fraud, let's return to the tent quickly."

"Signal the Overseer to withdraw!"

Qi and Gu were in great danger, so they didn't stop for a moment and didn't dare to drag their feet any longer. They didn't even go to the toilet and walked back immediately.

"Ha ha ha ha."

"General Xiao is a young hero with unrivaled martial arts skills. His future is limitless."

"I heard that the Shen family in Yangzhou is a big business in the salt business."

"Good, good, that's wonderful."

"From now on, with Yue Shan's support and Brother Xiao leading the troops, we can be a little more relaxed about logistics, huh?! Hahaha."

"Don't let the rich water go to outsiders!"

Inside the tent, no one knew what was going on; Wu and Xiao were still chatting about small matters.

After the first dance, Mei Niang performed four or five moves, and now the female soldiers performed the sword dance.

The drum music also draws on ancient music from the Warring States Period, adding a bit of tension to the atmosphere.

At this moment, Qi and Gu also came back.

"Eh?!"

"Brother Qi, you're in such a hurry to pee, but you pee quickly."

"Could it be that you can't find the toilet, so you just dump water in front of my tent? Hahaha."

Wu Sangui had sharp eyes. Seeing Qi Gang and Chang Ting coming back in a hurry, he rolled his eyes and teased them immediately, taking the opportunity to send out a force to gauge the two men's performance.

"Haha, Wu Shuai is always able to choke people!"

"How dare you mess around in your tent?!"

"I was so drunk that I felt like I had to pee when I went."

"But when we got there, we found out it was all in vain."

"In that case, you should return home quickly, ah, you should return home quickly!"

Qi Gang took over the conversation, showing his ability to respond to situations in a timely manner.

There was something else in his reply. Not only did he answer Wu Sangui's question, but he also kept glancing at Xiao as he returned to the table.

The words "come back soon" shocked Xiao Lang even more, and he started to make plans in his mind.

Can!
There is no need for Wu, Xiao and Qi to make any progress in guessing and maneuvering the matter.

Suddenly, a brute appeared outside the tent, swung the curtain aside and walked in, then stood by the door.

Looking at this guy, with a beard, broad shoulders and a thick waist, it is obvious that he is not a Han Chinese at first glance.

Most of them have the barbaric appearance of Mongolians or Jiannu.

Immediately, everyone at the three tables glanced over to stare.

The barbarian ignored him and just stared at Wu Sangui with a stern look on his face, like a sentry at the door of the tent, without saying a word.

At this time, seeing that the person who came had ill intentions, the two generals behind Xiao, Hu Chen and Yuan Ping, had already gripped the hilts of their swords even tighter.

Moreover, Hu Chen was sitting to the left of the seat, and even closer to Wu Sangui.

As his footsteps twisted, it seemed that he was ready to capture and kill the thief Wu at any time.
