Chapter 711: Going to the meeting alone
Chapter 715
Haojia City is not very large, but it occupies a rich land. A big river surrounds the city, which can be regarded as easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Today's Haojia City is a little different, there is not a single pedestrian on the street, the long street is clean, and the streets are lined with soldiers wearing armor and holding spears.
Haojia Four Winds Building, a three-storey building, is not easy to build such a high building in this era. Standing in front of the window on the third floor, I can just see a big river rushing by. Every time the sun rises in the east, and the sunset sinks in the west, you can see the golden light sprinkled on the river, which is also a scene of Haojia City.
The dignitaries and nobles in the city are willing to entertain guests here, and the chef of the restaurant is specially invited from the south of the Yangtze River, and a dish of thornless fish is the restaurant's specialty dish.
Today's Four Winds Building is cleaner than usual, the building is cleaned inside, and the outside is full of soldiers. They are all the best of the best, and the best of the best are selected from the elite. With the power of the city, it is not easy to select these 180 elite soldiers.
On the third floor sat three guests, and the entire Four Winds Building was preparing for them today.
Qian Tongyu has two beards, and if you don't look at the official uniform he wears, he looks like a rich man. In fact, the Qian family was originally a merchant. Counting up several generations, the Qian family made a living by selling tea and silk to the north. It was only in Qian Tongyu's generation that he became a businessman and an official.
Today is his home field, so naturally he has to get enough style and can't fall into his majesty.
"Brother Qian, why is today's gathering not in your City Lord's Mansion, but in this Four Winds Tower?"
It was Sun Beishan who was questioned, he was in charge of Jincheng, and it was still some distance from here. I went to the meeting today, and I only brought a few powerful cronies, but in fact, I was beating a drum in my heart.
"Oh hehe. Qian Tongyu stroked his beard and said, "The sunset in the building is a scene here, and I invited a few people to come and enjoy the scenery." Besides, the stingless fish is fresh but not greasy, and it can't be missed. ”
Wu Wei's Bai Kongji slandered in his heart, if it is just for eating fish and enjoying the scenery, is it necessary for everyone to come to you.
He looked at the surging river outside the window and said, "Will he really come, shouldn't he play tricks on everyone?"
Qian Tongyu and Sun Beishan didn't speak, and they couldn't confirm it in their hearts. After all, when he came to this Haojia City, Cheng Dalei's life would not be his.
"I haven't come by this time, so I can't say I won't come. ”
"Hmph, if he dares to come, let him know how powerful my big knife is. Bai Kongji snorted coldly, he and Song Bokang are sworn brothers, and they have some friendship.
The three of them are now waiting, waiting for Cheng Dalei to appear. As for whether Cheng Dalei should let him go after he appeared, he was actually unsure of his mind. However, Qian Tongyu has already arranged it in advance, in addition to this four-wind building, several surrounding streets have been deployed with elite soldiers, as long as Qian Tongyu gives an order, Cheng Dalei will not be able to escape.
"That ......" Sun Beishan paused: "Rushing here from Liangzhou City, even if you start in the morning, it will take four hours." Anyway, he'll have to be there in the afternoon at least?"
Qian Tongyu and Bai Kong gathered for a while, and the two of them were thinking about it in their hearts, but they neglected this section. For a while, they were all a little embarrassed, and the old god sat there and kept his mouth shut.
The three of them waited boredly, time passed little by little, and at dusk, a lonely boat floated on the big river in the distance, one rocked the oar, and one stood on the bow of the boat.
Sun Beishan's eyes lit up: "It's here." ”
The three of them came to the window at the same time, looking into the distance, Qian Tongyu said in disbelief: "It's really one who came." ”
"There shouldn't be any fraud. "Bai Kongji has some drums in his heart.
"I've often heard people say that the surname Cheng is a madman, hey, today is a knowledge, it's really crazy. "Sun Beishan.
The boat approached the port, and the three of them went downstairs to greet them, and they couldn't see it clearly until they got closer. Cheng Dalei was dressed in white, with a sword hanging from his waist, if he covered his face, he really had a bit of a dusty temperament. He was followed by a girl with a cold expression, dressed as a scholar.
Qian Tongyu paused, then immediately turned back to his head and said: "Cheng is in charge, I have heard of the name for a long time, and I just saw the true face of Lushan today. ”
Bai Kongji and Sun Beishan also arched their hands to Cheng Dalei, but they didn't have Qian Tongyu to be enthusiastic.
Cheng Dalei put his hands behind his back and said, "It's all here, it's good, it's good." It's arranged there, let's go and have a look. ”
With that, Cheng Dalei boarded the dock and passed by the three of them.
The three of them glanced at each other and looked at each other, this Cheng Dalei did not return the salute with the three of them at all, with the attitude of a chief, he didn't look at the three of them in his eyes.
Suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, Qian Tongyu walked a few steps quickly and led the way in front of Cheng Dalei. Until he came to the front of the Four Winds Tower, Cheng Dalei stopped, raised his eyes and looked around, and the front of the building was full of soldiers.
Qian Tongyu's eyes flickered, Cheng Dalei should not be suspicious and unwilling to go upstairs.
"I heard that the chef of Sifeng Lou was a famous chef invited from Jiangnan, and today I am a blessing. ”
Qian Tongyu's hanging heart was put down, and he stretched out his hand and said, "Cheng Dangjia, please have already arranged and prepared." ”
Cheng Dalei stepped upstairs, followed by silver eyes, all the way to the third floor. Cheng Dalei sat down on the main seat by himself, and Sun Beishan and Bai Kongji, who were following behind, were a little unhappy when they saw this scene.
This is simply treating yourself as the master, and not taking the three of yourself in your eyes at all.
Qian Tongyu quietly glanced at the two, and the two sat down.
Xiao Er began to serve food in an endless stream, the dishes went through three rounds, the wine passed five flavors, Cheng Dalei occasionally commented on the taste of the food, and occasionally looked sideways to enjoy the scenery, not mentioning the purpose of the trip.
Sun Beishan was born in hardship, and he came to today's position step by step, he couldn't bear it, and said: "Cheng Dangjia is here, not just to drink wine and eat meat, right?"
Cheng Dalei stopped his chopsticks and said, "Please speak?"
Sun Beishan took a deep breath and said, "We all know the intention of Cheng Dang's family, a certain family is a straight person, and he doesn't hide it. It's okay for us to not invade each other with your toad village, but if you say that I belong to the toad village, I can't. ”
After that, Sun Beishan stared at Cheng Dalei's eyes, Cheng Dalei's eyes didn't flash, and in the end, Sun Beishan quietly turned his head sideways.
"I believe that this is also what the White City Lord and the Qian City Lord mean?"
The two did not deny it, which is probably equivalent to admitting it.
Cheng Dalei let out a long sigh and said: "We eat together in Liangzhou, and we can be regarded as neighbors, as the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, I kindly pointed out that the three of them had a way to live, but the three obviously didn't treat me as their own?"
"I don't know how to say this?" Qian Tongyu.
"Hmph, pretending to be a ghost, do you really think we're scared?" Bai Kongji snorted coldly, and pressed the handle of the knife without moving.
