Compared with the previous few days, there were many fewer buyers, because only middle-class and above-average aristocratic families were interested in the private military corps, which determined that the number of buyers would not be too many. Of course, from the front of the venue,
From the more than thirty temporary pavilions, the incense burners placed in the sheds, and the exquisite couches, it can be seen that most of the top aristocratic families in the Jin Dynasty will not miss this feast today.
Liu Yu wore a bamboo hat, folded his arms, and stood in an inconspicuous corner among the crowd, while Wang Miaoyin, in her yellow clothes, stood beside her like a bird, a heroic beauty with a natural temperament, even in the
This inconspicuous corner also attracted many people's attention.
Liu Muzhi was dressed in silk and satin clothes. He was chubby and looked like a businessman. He could not be seen among the crowd. With a smile on his face, he looked at the children of aristocratic families who had begun to sit in the arbors. Every time they came,
Every one of them will call out their name in the same manner.
"Hey, isn't this Xi Hui from the Gaoping Xi family? He is also here to participate in the auction today."
"Jinu, look, isn't that Wang Mi from the Wang family in Taiyuan? When you were bullied by the Diao family, he paid to save you. Speaking of which, he is your benefactor."
"Oh, aren't these brothers Yin Zhongkan and Yin Zhongwen of the Yin family? The one-eyed one is Yin Zhongkan. These two cousins are very famous and leaders in the literary world. I didn't expect these literati to come to the auction today.
Where’s the conference?”
The corner of Liu Yu's mouth curled up. Wherever he looked, he suddenly saw a group of young men in fine clothes filing in. He laughed and patted Liu Muzhi on the shoulder: "Hey, fat man, your brothers-in-law."
You are here, why are you standing with us people? Go quickly, look, they have delicious food there."
Liu Muzhi suddenly blushed, and saw several young masters from the Jiang family walking to the front, escorted by more than a dozen healthy servants. His father-in-law, Jiang Zhu, walked in front of these nephews with a smile on his face.
Smiling, when the children of the aristocratic families who came in front saw Mr. Jiang, they all stood up and held the descendant ceremony. Mr. Jiang also refused all comers, but nodded slightly and sat on a seat to one side in the middle.
The other seats were basically full, and only the two or three seats in the middle were still empty.
Liu Muzhi coughed dryly: "It seems that the status of my father-in-law's family is still very high. Apart from the Wang family and the Xie family, he is the only one who respects me."
Liu Yu said with a smile: "You fat man, don't change the subject and ask you to go to your father-in-law and brother-in-law to ask for food. Look, they have brought a lot of delicious cakes. Come and order some, and let us try them too."
Liu Muzhi stamped his foot anxiously: "Ji Nu, if you keep entertaining me, I will get angry. Don't think that I, a fat man, have no temper."
Liu Yu smiled and patted Liu Muzhi on the shoulder: "Okay, okay, it's just a joke. But there are indeed many acquaintances here today. It seems that my high-ranking family in Jin Dynasty will gather here today.
, I didn’t expect that a convention for auctioning prisoners of war and slaves would have such momentum.”
Wang Miaoyin smiled calmly: "If you can select good soldiers from the tribe, you will be able to control the army directly in the future. In the past, these high-ranking families were used to talking about mysteries and hated military affairs, but this time the formation of the Beifu Army relied on Liu
Lao Zhi, Sun Wuzhong and other tribes who have relied on my Xie family for many years, they can quickly train the army to be like the Beifu Army, so the family has seen the benefits of this and is no longer willing to miss the opportunity this time. In the future, these tribes
Qu is not only a thug who roams the city, but he can also help them control the army and build their achievements."
Liu Yu nodded and saw a commotion in the crowd. A passage was opened. Seven or eight well-dressed servants opened the way. Two young men in their twenties and thirties strode in with their heads held high. Behind them were more than a dozen beautiful maids, including one.
Liu Yu knew personally that it was Yu Yue who had humiliated Liu Yi in the governor's palace in Guangling. The other person, who was a few years older than Yu Yue, also looked aloof, looking at the sky without looking straight.
A typical person from a high-ranking family.
The person walking next to these two people made Liu Yu's expression change slightly. The first one had a fat head and big ears, and a flattering smile on his face. Wasn't he the Guangzhou governor, his old enemy Diao Kui? The other person had a face full of white powder and was thin.
The tall man was none other than Diao Hong, the younger brother of Diao Kui who had formed a friendship in Jingkou a few years ago.
As soon as Liu Yu saw the pair of enemies, murderous intent flashed in his eyes, his hands clenched into fists unconsciously, and he said, "Strange, how could the Yu family get together with the Diao brothers?"
Liu Muzhi nodded and said: "The man walking in front is called Yu Kai. He is the grandson of Yu Liang, the general who conquered the west. He is the son of Yu Xi, the internal historian of Kuaiji. He is also from a high-ranking family. He is a cousin of Yu Yue.
Now they are both ministers and chief ministers. Their status is much higher than that of the Diao brothers. After all, the Yu family is the founding family that succeeded the founding prime minister Wang Dao as the prime minister and assistant. They are basically on the same level as Wang Xie, not the Diao family.
This kind of middle-class family is comparable. But now that the Yu family is in decline, and Huan Wen was hit hard back then, he can only rely on King Kuaiji and Wang Guobao, and find the same backers as the Diao family.
Strange."
Liu Yu sneered and said: "Diao Kui's leader, Diao Qiu, was killed by me last time. This time I probably want to pick some new troops that can fight. It seems like we are going to have a fight with them today.
"
Wang Miaoyin's beautiful eyes flashed with light: "Brother Yu, if you are short of money, I will tell Mr. Xianggong and the others in a moment. You can just ask for it without any worries."
Liu Yu shook his head: "No, I will not take advantage of others today. If people named Diao want to make things difficult for me, then I will fight them to the end."
At this point, Liu Yu suddenly changed the topic: "Strange, why didn't Wang Guobao come? Also, will King Kuaiji come today?"
Wang Miaoyin frowned slightly: "I really don't know about this matter. If they come, they are probably coming for the Xie family. It seems that after the Battle of Feishui, the power struggle among the top leaders of Jin Dynasty will begin.
.”
Liu Yu suddenly laughed: "Miaoyin, will your Wang family come? Will your father and your uncles be there?"
Wang Miaoyin smiled slightly: "My father is still serving as the internal history of Kuaiji, so he will definitely not come, but my uncle should be here."
Liu Yu's heart moved: "Your uncle, do you mean Mr. Xianggong's long history, General Jianwei and Wang Gongxian?"
Wang Miaoyin nodded: "Exactly, my grandfather, Wang Gong, the general of the right army, had several sons. My father is his second son, and the eldest uncle is the official of General Jianwei, Taiwei and Chief of History."
