Chapter 138: New Allies
At night, the courtyard is brightly lit.
Huangfu Song and other eight people sat down in turn, and Lu Yao accompanied the last seat. Except for Lu Yao, the others' faces were cloudy, just staring at the plate of fruit on the table in front of them.
"He is late, and I hope you will forgive your sins."
Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first. He Jin walked in with a hearty smile, and when he saw Lu Yao accompanying the last seat, his face changed slightly, and then he returned to normal, directly ignoring Lu Yao, and greeting Huangfu Song and others.
Huangfu Song and the others saw He Jin ignoring Lu Yao, and sighed secretly in their hearts. They had long heard that He Jin wanted to get rid of Lu Yao. But no one expected Lu Yao to mention new help, the first one was He Jin.
But it's also right to think about it.
He Jin is now a general, commanding the world's soldiers and horses, and his power can be described as monstrous. If He comes forward, he may not be able to suppress the limelight of the Ten Standing Servants and rescue Lu Zhi. As long as Lu Zhi is rescued, according to Lu Yao's analysis, Shichang's conspiracy to serve the imperial court will be bankrupt. It is impossible not to say that this is a good move.
Immediately after, a middle-spirited, but slightly feminine laugh sounded: "Our family is late, please bear with me." ”
When Huangfu Song and the others heard this voice, they all frowned slightly. He Jin snorted heavily, flicked his sleeves and sat on the seat, and coldly watched a big man in the palace man's clothes walk in.
Jian Shuo came in and saw Lu Yaojing accompanying the last seat, and immediately stepped forward and said, "Our family is incompetent, so the general has been wronged." ”
Lu Yao smiled faintly, got up and returned the salute: "It's time to kill." Please take your seat. ”
Immediately, someone came to guide the way. Jian Shuo ignored He Jin's annoyed gaze and sat down under He Jin with a smile. Huangfu Song and the others glanced at each other, they were all powerless, and they didn't understand why Lu Yao invited these two over at the same time. Especially Yuan Shao, the eyes that looked at Lu Yao were obviously a little more indignant.
Invite He Jin to a banquet alone, and win over relatives to fight against the eunuchs, you can. It is also possible to have a separate banquet for Jian Shuo, win over this eunuch who was suppressed by the ten permanent servants, and use eunuchs to control eunuchs. But at the same time, how can we talk about these two banquets.
One is a general who holds military power, and the other is a eunuch who is eager to take charge of the army and expand his power, and the two can be said to be incompatible.
"Someone, drink." Huangfu Song saw that the atmosphere had become bad, and he, the nominal master, hurriedly ordered someone to serve wine, and then raised the wine cup and said, "General, Jian Huangmen, please." ”
"Please." He Jin pressed down the fire, picked up the wine bottle and drank it all.
Huangfu Song was a general and had a very high prestige in the army. This time, the Yellow Turban Thieves have made another great contribution. He wanted to control the military power, and it was inconvenient to offend Huangfu Song too much, so he simply gave face and ignored Jian Shuo.
"Please." Jian Shuo also thought the same way, and raised the wine bottle to drink together.
So in the dull atmosphere, everyone tacitly only cared about drinking, glancing at Lu Yao at the end of the table from time to time, waiting for this stranger to break the deadlock. After three rounds of drinking, Lu Yao got up and arched his hand to He Jin: "General, is Ling Ai okay now?" ”
He Jin snorted heavily, and reluctantly arched his hand: "The little girl often thinks about the general, if she has time, the general might as well enter the mansion to talk about it." The little girl will be happy to see the general. ”
The words fell, and the banquet was silent. Huangfu Song and the others had strange expressions, and their eyes swept back and forth between He Jin and Lu Yao. He Jin's words are too intriguing, where does it seem that there is an enmity between the heavens, but it is like a father who watched his beloved daughter being abducted by a bastard.
"Thief to kill." He Jin also saw the strange expressions on the faces of Huangfu Song and the others, and couldn't help but curse in his heart. But when he thought of the letter He Mi had given him, he had to endure it.
"It turns out that the lord has a great friendship with the general's daughter." Jian Shuo quipped, his expression did not change at all.
"Jian Huangmen laughed, it's just a one-sided relationship." Lu Yao smiled and directly turned to the topic: "It's not a secret, it was I who invited the two of you to come and discuss how to deal with the Ten Standing Attendants. ”
Huangfu Song and the others suddenly felt powerless. This alien is too direct.
He Jin sneered: "I'm just here for the banquet today. As for the ten permanent attendants, I have nothing to do with them because of the water of the well, and the water of the river does not interfere with them. ”
followed by Jian Shuo's sudden change of color, and he shouted after clapping the case: "Good courage, tomorrow our family will definitely ask for an order to kill you, a rebellious man." ”
"There's a saying among us Inhumans." Lu Yao ignored He Jin and Jian Shuo, and smiled to himself: "The enemy of the enemy is the friend. What do you think? ”
He Jin and Jian Shuo fell silent at the same time, as if nothing had happened to them.
"Actually, the two can coexist." Lu Yao said like a devil: "The general holds the military power in the world. And Jian Huangmen just wants to take charge of an army alone and be favored by the Son of Heaven. Strictly speaking, there is no actual conflict of interest between the two of them. If the two of them turn their rivalry into jade silk, what is the difference between the ten permanent servants. ”
After saying this, He Jin and Jian Shuo's eyes flickered, and they looked very moved.
Huang Fu Song and the others witnessed the scene in front of them and thought thoughtfully. If you think about it, too. The only conflict between He Jin and Jian Shuo was that one side was worried about taking away the military power in his hands, while the other side was eager to master an army. If the two sides join forces and reach an agreement, it may not be impossible to turn enemies into friends.
"The power of the Ten Standing Servants is monstrous, and they have suppressed my merits, and this hatred is not shared. And the general, as a relative, holds the military power in the world, and the ten permanent servants are eager to get rid of him quickly. It's just that the general is still favored by the Son of Heaven, and they don't dare to start. Lu Yao talked eloquently, and finally turned to Jian Shuo: "And Jian Huangmen doesn't need to say more." They...... No superior can put up with a subordinate who is in a hurry to get to the top. Jian Huangmen, am I right? ”
"The lord has a point. As long as the general is willing to help our family, what does it matter if our family obeys the general's orders in the future. Jian Shuo was worthy of being a eunuch who fought in the imperial city, and made a promise on the spot.
"I'm being stingy." He Jin laughed, picked up the wine bottle and drank it all: "I'll punish myself with a glass." ”
Seeing this, Huangfu Song and the others immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Lu Yao with closer eyes. Even Yuan Shao had to put away his contempt, took the initiative to get up and walked to Lu Yao's seat, and saluted: "Mr. is really talented." I wonder what the gentleman has planned? ”
Everyone saw that Yuan Shao took the initiative to make amends, and secretly bowed their heads.
The fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family were extremely powerful in the court. Although Lu Yao is just a stranger, he can only see from the recovery of Dongjun, Yingchuan and Guangzong that this person is not a great talent. The two sides turned enemies into friends, which could not but be said to be a great fortune for the imperial court.
Lu Yao returned the salute and smiled mysteriously: "Don't dare to be a clever plan, first ask the general to recommend the head of the Huangmen Army tomorrow." ”
"Okay, I'll recommend the Yellow Gate tomorrow." He Jin thought about it for a while, and responded quickly.
"Thank you, General."
Jian Shuo was overjoyed, and the more he looked at Lu Yao, the more he looked like a rare treasure. After many years, my wish has finally come true.
