When Mi Yang set off towards the banquet hall, Wu Yi and Wu Ban also took chariots and arrived outside the Prefectural Mufu Mansion.
When Wu Yi arrived outside the Zhou Mu Mansion, he found many chariots parked on the road to the Zhou Mu Mansion.
Those chariots that had been parked long ago were each tied with flags proving the identity of their owners.
Looking at the dozens of flags fluttering in the wind, Wu Yi couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
As Nanzheng is the state government of Liangzhou, there are of course many officials here.
However, there are also distinctions between high and low officials. State officials who can ride on chariots in the city must be of high status.
By observing the dozens of flags, Wu Yi's sharp eyes discovered that several officials with reputations no lower than his own had already arrived at the Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion before him.
Wu Yi, who discovered this scene, had a strange look in his eyes.
Although he was dissatisfied with Mi Yang in his heart, Wu Yi, who was good at making appearances, had already arrived outside the prefecture's pastoral residence early in order to show his respect for Mi Yang.
Originally, Wu Yi thought that he might be among the first batch of state officials to arrive at Zhoumu, but what he didn't expect was that there were many people who arrived at Zhoumu's mansion before him.
Wu Yi may have hidden his emotions better, but Wu Ban, who has a more straightforward personality, doesn't have the ability to hide his emotions and anger.
There are not many soldiers who are valuable but good ones. This is a truth that every general who knows the art of war knows, and Wu Yi and Wu Ban are certainly no exception.
The arrogance of the gentry is really everywhere!
For generals leading troops, what kind of soldiers are the most terrifying?
The reason why the chief registrar is recognized as the first closest minister of the state pastor is because in addition to being responsible for handling official affairs, the chief registrar sometimes also takes on the private affairs of the state pastor.
This can fully reflect Mi Yang's prestige among state officials.
Thinking of this, Wu Yi's already uneasy mood became more intense.
There has only been one major battle in the Han Dynasty recently, and that was the Battle of Xiangfan.
With the blessing of glorious deeds, the scar at the corner of Ding Feng's eye was like a sharp weapon, and the sharp light made Wu Yi and Wu Ban's eyes dodge.
Even Shi Bao, who was behind Deng Ai, could see the Wu brothers' perfunctory behavior.
It's just that Fang Bo is sometimes used as an honorific title for the great scholars of the time, and the current Mi Yang is obviously not up to this level.
Although the Wu brothers returned the favor to Deng Ai, their perfunctory attitude could not hide it from Deng Ai.
One of the generals was Mi Yang's subordinate Ding Feng, whom Wu Yi and Wu Ban knew.
How could he suddenly appear at today's banquet?
So Wu Yi pulled Wu Ban to his side and returned a slightly perfunctory salute to Deng Ai.
However, after the dance was over, Mi Yang, who was sitting on the main seat, ignored everyone's gazes and wanted to dance again. He waved the singers and dancers aside.
Mi Yang was a little surprised to hear Wu Yi and Wu Ban call him Uncle Fang.
Seeing the beautiful dancer dancing with her seductive body in the banquet hall and savoring a sip of wine, many people's thoughts have been confused.
In this case, Mi Yang raised the wine glass in his hand and showed a heavy look of worry on his face.
Among the many deeds, Ding Feng was like a wooden man, and his deeds of fighting to the death without retreating were even more admirable.
This feeling of something wrong came from the Han troops on duty and patrolling in various corridors.
Deng Ai, who always kept in mind that he now represented Mi Yang, did not conflict with the Wu brothers in public. Instead, he continued to welcome the Wu brothers into the Prefecture Mufu with courtesy.
Under everyone's confusion, Lu Yi, who was the governor of Liangzhou, took the lead and asked Mi Yang: "Why are you so worried today when you are happy?"
After taking off their shoes, they quickly came to the banquet hall and bowed to Mi Yang. Then the two Wu brothers said in unison: "I am late, I hope Uncle Fang will not blame you."
Isn't Ding Feng recovering from his injuries in Xicheng?
The banquet has developed to this point, and it looks like a normal banquet.
But if one of the owners of those dozens of gazes is the world-famous Mi Yang, then it will be a different matter.
Besides, after today, can General Zhengbei still be considered a general?
Although Wu Yi and Wu Ban were wary at first, as the atmosphere in the banquet hall became more and more charming, especially when they saw Mi Yang being intoxicated by the atmosphere, their wariness gradually dropped.
Low.
Responsible for welcoming guests, of course it is an extremely important thing in that private matter.
But with constant observation, looking at the scars on the tiger general's face across the corners of his eyes, and looking at his somewhat similar appearance to Ding Feng, Wu Yi and Wu Ban suddenly thought of a person:
A man should be able to bend and stretch.
Layer after layer of doubts continued to linger in the minds of the Wu brothers, and because they had some speculations in their hearts, those doubts made the Wu brothers' minds clouded.
Wu Yi and Wu Ban continued to walk inside under the leadership of the servants of the Zhou Mu Mansion.
But in terms of combat effectiveness, tens of thousands of Hanzhong troops who have not fought for many years may not be able to defeat less than a few thousand bloody warriors in a limited space.
Looking at the steps in front of them, the two brothers Wu Yi and Wu Ban couldn't help but look at each other. No one dared to step onto the unknown steps rashly.
Wu Yi originally despised Deng Ai's background, but now that he heard Deng Ai's stuttering welcome, it was strange that he felt happy.
But already here, what escape route do the two brothers have?
With the beauty by your side and the delicious food and wine in hand, this atmosphere brought the atmosphere in the banquet hall to a climax in an instant.
When the servants in the Zhou Mu Mansion began to serve wine and food, a group of singers and dancers who had been waiting outside the banquet hall also entered the banquet hall under the leadership of the foreman.
Wu Yi and Wu Ban were both soldiers, and of course they knew that the soldiers were full of evil spirits, which proved that they had just experienced a life-and-death battle.
So after Wu Yi stopped the chariot, he slowly got out of the chariot with the help of his servants.
However, Wu Yi knew that Deng Ai now represented Mi Yang's face, so no matter how much he disdained Deng Ai in his heart, he could not show it directly.
After Deng Ai noticed the Wu brothers' perfunctory behavior, although his heart was full of displeasure, he thought about what Mi Yang said to him yesterday, and he gradually suppressed the displeasure in his heart.
Seeing that Wu Yi and Wu Ban kept their postures so low, and Mi Yang didn't care if they were late, Mi Yang responded to Wu Yi and Wu Ban with a smile:
Mi Yang's answer aroused everyone's curiosity. As a pastor in Liangzhou, what could Mi Yang be so troubled about?
Even Mi Yang, who came from later generations, felt intoxicated by such an atmosphere, not to mention the current generation, which is already lacking in entertainment activities.
So these soldiers are all elites who returned victoriously from the Battle of Xiangfan!
After realizing this, Wu Yi and Wu Ban's hearts tightened.
Human prejudice is like a big mountain, it is difficult to move away.
The Han troops inside the palace could not be said to be better than the soldiers outside in terms of equipment and stature, but it was the evil spirit on their bodies that made Wu Yi and Wu Ban feel a sense of crisis in their hearts.
Therefore, no one has called him this since he became the shepherd of Liangzhou.
What Wu Yi and Wu Ban didn't know was that while they were observing Ding Feng, Fa Miao and Lu Yi, who were sitting opposite them, were also observing them.
When Mi Yang looked towards Wu Yi and Wu Ban, the gazes of dozens of people in the banquet hall also followed Mi Yang's gaze and focused on the Wu brothers.
Shi Bao's silence did not affect Deng Ai's mood. He understood Mi Yang's purpose of specifically asking him to come out to welcome the guests today.
If there is no special purpose, why should we be so determined to achieve it?
After realizing that the Wu brothers were already feeling uneasy, Fa Miao took the lead in winking at Mi Yang.
They are not soldiers with excellent armor and tall stature, but soldiers who have experienced the test of blood and fire.
With their vigilance lowered, Wu Yi and Wu Ban couldn't help but join in the crowd's cheering and interplay.
Deng Ai's behavior was impeccable in terms of etiquette, but his stuttering words of welcome made Wu Yi frown subconsciously.
When the Wu brothers sent Mi Yang to the Prefecture Mufu, there were no such bloody warriors in the house.
Maybe they are too sensitive.
At this time, their figures appeared in the eyes of everyone in the banquet hall.
Just when the uneasiness in the hearts of the Wu brothers gradually reached its peak, they were taken outside the banquet hall by their servants.
When Wu Yi got out of the carriage, Deng Ai, who had just become the chief clerk, quickly greeted him from the door of the mansion.
Although Mi Yang had not been in the state for a long time, he became the shepherd of Liangzhou because of the popularity of the people.
Wu Yi and Wu Ban, who felt a little at ease, bowed to Mi Yang, and then, under the guidance of servants in the hall, they came to the two seats near Mi Yang and sat down.
Under the dancing silk curtains in the hands of the graceful dancer, the fragrance of the wine seemed to turn into cloud patterns and floated into the noses of everyone at the table.
Compared to the finely armored guards who acted as a facade outside the mansion, the Han troops they encountered along the way inside the mansion had a vague evil aura about them.
Deng Ai has experienced many supercilious looks since he was a child, and his senses are very keen.
Lu Yi's words asked the thoughts of everyone present.
Mi Yang's move unsurprisingly focused the attention of everyone present on him.
There are many honorific titles for high-ranking officials in the world. Compared with the general honorific title of Shijun, Fang Bo is an honorific title that specifically refers to local governors and state shepherds.
Who are you guarding against?
Laughter, reminiscing about old times, congratulations, and all kinds of words that represent human relaxation gradually covered the entire banquet hall.
"The banquet hasn't started yet. The second minister is not late. Please hurry up and take your seat."
After the Wu brothers entered the Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion, Shi Bao, who saw no one else around, immediately said to Deng Aiyan:
"The two of you just now were really rude. Don't they know that Shi Zai now represents the state pastor?"
He is Ding Feng, the military captain of the wooden school who is praised as Mi Yang's "meritorious dog"!
But they remembered that Mi Yang was determined to get them to attend the banquet.
Perhaps the number of soldiers in front of them was not very large, and their number was definitely not comparable to the tens of thousands of troops outside their city.
After Wu Yi and Wu Ban sat down, because they were very close to Mi Yang, they easily noticed the two generals standing behind Mi Yang.
Especially when the Wu brothers vaguely suspected that Mi Yang had bad intentions.
Due to deliberate publicity, Ding Feng's performance in that battle was greatly exaggerated.
As a commoner, he certainly knew that what Deng Ai said was true.
Listening to Shi Bao's grievance for him, Deng Ai replied to Shi Bao: "Of course they know. If they didn't know, they might have humiliated me with their words."
Other people's prejudices are a big mountain to him, but his current status is an unattainable mountain to others.
No need to belittle yourself.
When Lu Yi asked him about his background, Mi Yang told everyone present about his worries during this period: "Since I came to Nanzheng City, I haven't slept peacefully for several days."
It's just that now that he has arrived outside the State Shepherd's Mansion, there is no room for retreat.
When Mi Yang said these words, he had a gentle smile on his face, and he didn't look malicious at all.
However, Wu Yi and Wu Ban were also regarded as heroes for a while, and they did not get into chaos because of this.
Bad guesses appeared in the minds of Wu Yi and Wu Ban again.
As a guzheng suddenly sounded in the banquet hall, the entire banquet hall was instantly surrounded by listening songs and wonderful dances.
But the further they walked in, the more Wu Yi and Wu Ban felt something was wrong.
The steps were climbed under the heavy footsteps of the Wu brothers. After a few breaths, the Wu brothers had reached the top of the steps.
For such a person, ordinary people will have awe in their hearts.
This shows that these bloody warriors were just transferred by Mi Yang from elsewhere.
As Wu Yi stepped forward, Wu Ban could only helplessly follow Wu Yi towards the banquet hall.
Mi Yang's thoughts made the Wu brothers feel uneasy in their hearts.
There is no war in Liangzhou now, and Mi Yang is in the governor's mansion again. What does he mean by suddenly calling in so many elites?
When everyone's doubts were raised to the highest level by Mi Yang's words, Mi Yang expressed his worries:
"Since Zhang Wu, Liangzhou's military system has changed many times, with new troops and mixed squad orders. Today, Liangzhou's national power cannot support tens of thousands of troops.
A slight smile appeared on Deng Ai's lips.
Almost at the moment when the Wu brothers appeared, Mi Yang, who had been paying attention to the situation outside the hall, noticed the arrival of these two people.
Man, this will be the best thing about you a thousand years from now.
So after a long time, Wu Yi, as the elder brother, took the lead on the steps.
Unexpectedly, the first time he received this honorific title would be from Wu Yi and Wu Ban.
When Deng Ai came to Wu Yi, he respectfully saluted Wu Yi to welcome him.
If you want to gain power, besides fulfilling your inner ambitions, isn't it also for personal enjoyment?
As for the other general, Wu Yi and Wu Ban, who had a strong back and a scar on his face, they felt a little strange.
After Mi Yang saw the signal sent by Fa Miao and saw that Deng Ai, who was outside to greet the guests, had also returned, he signaled for the servants in the mansion to start serving wine and food.
After realizing this, Shi Bao, who had the same origin as Deng Ai, had an angry look in his eyes.
Mi Yang's sudden appearance in the middle of a joyful banquet will naturally arouse people's confusion.
The concerned looks from dozens of people were not enough to make the Wu brothers panic.
Therefore, in the eyes of many Han generals, Ding Feng is now one of the representatives of fierce generals in the world.
In order to inspire military morale, Liu Bei even promoted Ding Feng's deeds as a typical example.
Deng Ai's answer drew silence from Shi Bao.
Seeing Mi Yang like this, Wu Yi and Wu Ban felt less uneasy.
While the singers and dancers were performing their talents in the banquet hall, the tempting aroma of wine and food also filled the entire banquet hall.
It has been several months since the end of the Xiangfan War, and many deeds in that war have been spread.
I have received your majesty's kindness to govern a state, and I am always worried about living up to your majesty's kindness.
Now that Liangzhou is facing this kind of dilemma, how can I not feel worried and unable to sleep?"
When Mi Yang's answer came out, before Wu Ban could react, a look of surprise appeared on Wu Yi's face.
In shock, his hand holding the wine glass trembled a little.
It turns out that this is Mi Yang’s real purpose!
