Chapter 29: Embarrassment
Hearing the report from his subordinates, saying that Mr. Zhang Tao was visiting, Liu Feng did not feel the slightest surprise, even if Zhang Tao did not come to him in the past two days, he was ready to send someone to invite Zhang Tao to come over for a while.
In his opinion, Zhang Tao came to find himself this time, it must be for the last Wuyue incident, the original plan of killing two birds with one stone, did not expect to wait for him to lead a large number of county troops to Chifeng Mountain, but he pounced, which made Liu Feng feel very incredible, but when he asked the messenger who sent the letter, the messenger patted his chest and assured that the letter was handed over to Wuyue by himself, and the latter repeatedly stated that he would act according to the instructions on the letter.
This matter has also become Liu Feng's heart disease, at this time Zhang Tao's visit can be said to be in line with his heart, and he just happened to have a lot of incomprehension, and he wanted to ask Zhang Tao for advice.
After the servants in the palace brought Zhang Tao in, seeing that he was followed by a person dressed as a general, Liu Feng was a little surprised, and after ordering the people to bring the tea, he couldn't help but ask: "This is ......?"
Without waiting for Zhang Tao to answer, Chen Liang, who had just sat down, immediately stood up again, and hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "Chen Liang, the commander of the fourth formation of the second corps of the villain border army, has seen the county head. I have always heard that the head of the county, Lord Liu, is wise and martial, and his bearing is extraordinary, and the villain has long admired it, and it is really a blessing to see it today......"
It stands to reason that as a thousand-commander, he is also a general, and in front of Liu Feng, it is not an exaggeration for him to call himself the last general, but he calls himself a villain, and it is not difficult to see that Chen Liang is groveling in the face of Liu Feng.
Chen Liang didn't do anything else, so he slapped a fart first. And Liu Feng is a kind of person, just like this mouthful, what he likes is a villain like Chen Liang, listening to Chen Liang's flattery, Liu Feng not only did not feel exaggerated, but also extremely useful, he looked up and smiled, and pretended to be polite: "Hey? General Chen praised it falsely. ”
As he spoke, he paused and asked again, "I just don't know why General Chen came to find this official?" Being praised by others, Liu Feng's mood was a lot happier, and when he was questioned, he was no longer the questioning attitude he had before, but as if he was doing a homely job.
This time, there was no need for Chen Liang to speak again, Zhang Tao had already preemptively said: "Lord Hui, General Chen came this time, he really had something to ask for, and he had a good relationship with General Chen, so he couldn't bear to open his mouth to refuse, so he ......" He said this, paused deliberately, and at the same time raised his eyes to observe Liu Feng's face, so as to know what to say next.
Zhang Tao was regarded by Liu Feng as his own think tank, since he said so, Liu Feng didn't want to save his face, so he followed his words and asked, "Oh? I wonder what trouble General Chen has encountered? ”
"That's the ......" said, Zhang Tao explained Chen Liang's intention to Liu Feng again, and told Liu Feng the whole story of the matter one by one, and Chen Liang also added oil and vinegar to the side from time to time, and at the same time scolded Lu Chen for how he did not pay attention to benevolence and righteousness, and how ruthless he was.
After listening to this, Liu Feng deliberately asked: "General Chen, this Lu County Shou is also your superior, even if he does something bad, but it seems a little inappropriate for you to say this about him, right?" ”
When Chen Liang heard this, he was stunned at first, and then hurriedly expressed his loyalty: "The county head is clear, the villain only looks forward to the county head, as for Lu Chen, as soon as he takes office, he will take the villain under the knife, such a vicious official, the villain will not be able to be with him." He didn't know about Lu Chen and Liu Feng's festival, but on the way to the county capital, Zhang Tao had told him some things to pay attention to, so he dared to speak like this.
Sure enough, after Liu Feng heard this, his face showed a look of joy, and Zhang Tao also took out the brocade box in a timely manner, handed it to Liu Feng and said, "My lord, this is a little bit of General Chen's heart, please accept it." ”
"Oh? What is it? Although he was asking, Liu Feng had already opened the brocade box, and after seeing the contents clearly, his eyes couldn't help but light up, revealing a greedy gaze.
At this time, the original two jade lions in the brocade box have become one. Liu Feng, the head of the county, is insatiable, and his people are naturally no better, if it weren't for Liu Feng's suspicions, Zhang Tao wouldn't even be willing to give him this one!
Seeing him staring at the jade lion with unblinking eyes, Zhang Tao coughed lightly, leaned over and whispered: "My lord, you have also seen General Chen's intentions, and don't you just need a talent like General Chen, after all, ...... In the border army, having one of their own commanders is also a good thing for adults, isn't it? ”
After Zhang Tao's reminder, Liu Feng came back to his senses, and he couldn't help but think of Lu Chen, it can be said that the roots of his teeth are itching! If Chen Liang, the commander of a thousand soldiers, can be included in his account, then it is undoubtedly equivalent to inserting a pair of eyes next to Lu Chen, Lu Chen's every move is also under his own control, as long as he does something wrong, he can justifiably put small shoes on him.
Thinking of this, Liu Feng nodded slowly, put away the brocade box as a matter of course, and then looked at Chen Liang who was down and said: "General Chen, since you have such a deep friendship with Mr. Zhang Tao, then your business, that is, Mr. Zhang's business, the official will naturally not sit idly by, General Chen will rest assured, early tomorrow morning, the official will personally accompany General Chen to the border city, and find Lu County Shouyan to explain the matter." ”
"Thank you, Lord Chief! The great kindness of the county head, even if the villain is broken, it is difficult to repay it! In the future, if the county head points to the east, the villain will never take a step to the west! Seeing that the matter was done, Liu Feng was willing to come forward in person, and Chen Liang hurriedly said like a pug.
Liu Feng seemed very satisfied with Chen Liang's performance, he nodded, and said: "General Chen, it's getting late now, you and Mr. Zhang Tao don't go back, let's get drunk here all night, and wait until tomorrow, okay to go to the border city together?" ”
"Very good, very good." Zhang Tao said with his beard twisted.
"Oh......" Chen Liang was still a little skeptical, because before coming to Pingzhou, he had also received Lu Chen's military order, and knew that he would gather at the school tomorrow morning, if it was delayed...... It's just that soon, he dispelled this doubt again, because in his opinion, tomorrow the county head will accompany him to find Lu Chen's theory, what is this rotten military order?
He thought very well, and it was also in line with the national conditions of officialdom at that time. Not long after, under Liu Feng's orders, a group of young and graceful women dressed in tulle walked in, began to sing and dance, and put on a feast.
Here they push the cup and change the lamp, drunk and dreaming of death. On the side of the border city, Lu Chen is making final preparations for tomorrow's school martial arts exercise, and he will be a soldier tomorrow!
