Chapter four hundred and seventy-two fame and fortune
As soon as Zhang Yuanyuan cursed "F*ck", Qiao Chongliang next to him immediately shouted: "Why don't you serve a banquet? Mr. Gu is the special envoy of the palace and an honored guest. Do you have the hospitality like you? We
The village is famous for its hospitality. If you do this, where will the owner of the village be concerned? Why don't you prepare a banquet quickly?"
While he was talking, Qiao Chongliang patted Zhang Yuanyuan's shoulder lightly and said with a smile on his face: "Master of the village, the people below are slow in doing things. Don't be angry. I will let them serve the food right away. I will never do it."
You have neglected Mr. Gu! Please calm down!" Qiao Chongliang winked lightly, signaling Zhang Yuanyuan to agree to Niu Mandi's arrangement.
Although Zhang Yuanyuan was suspicious, he did not doubt Qiao Chongliang's resourcefulness and vision, so he pretended to smile and said: "Damn it, I asked you to prepare a banquet quickly, but you are so slow! This is just like the way we treat guests in Jiejia Village
You know? Damn it, Mr. Gu is a distinguished guest from the palace, if you entertain me like this, I will spank you!"
Gu Anyue felt relieved when she heard that the two of them were scolding each other about the banquet. She smiled and said: "The banquet is not urgent, let's talk about business first, hahaha... The prince has named the leader of Qiao Er Village as General Zhongwu!"
As they were talking, the minions had already arranged the tables and chairs and opened the banquet. What was served were all delicacies from the mountains, such as roe deer breasts, forest mushrooms, pheasants and rabbits. The chef’s skills were superb, and the whole Zhongyi Hall was filled with fragrance.
It was so tangy that one couldn't help but twitch the index finger. At this time, the sky was gradually getting dark, and dozens of red butter candles as thick as arms were inserted in Zhongyi Hall.
Zhang Yuanyuan and Qiao Chongliang made sure to invite Gu Anyue to take the seat, and Gu Anyue obliged and took the seat. Zhang Yuanyuan accompanied him at the main seat, and Qiao Chongliang accompanied him side by side. The three of them exchanged glasses and drank happily. Several minions on the table next to them
The bosses took turns coming to propose a toast to Gu Anyue. Gu Anyue had a good capacity for drinking, so he did not refuse. The cup was drained as soon as it came, and everyone cheered.
During the dinner, Gu Anyue told Niu Mandi that he had asked Zhang Yuanyuan to lead troops down the mountain to relieve the siege of Yujiang. Just when Zhang Yuanyuan was about to hesitate, Qiao Chongliang immediately kicked Zhang Yuanyuan under the table. Zhang Yuanyuan reacted quickly and agreed: "
Since our prince favors me, how dare I, Zhang Yuanyuan, not do my best? Lord Gu, don’t worry, I will send troops as soon as possible!"
Then Zhang Yuanyuan shouted to a fat-faced minion leader sitting on the left table: "Lu Dezhou, when you get down from the table, prepare half a month's worth of food and fodder for 7,000 men and horses! I will send troops to fish the river soon, you
You can’t delay my important event! Otherwise, I will be rude to you!”
The chubby-faced leader Lu Dezhou promised, "Don't worry, Dazhai Leader, I, Old Lu, won't be in trouble no matter how much I drink. I promise to have all the food and grass ready before tomorrow night!"
Gu An is happy to see you
Zhang Yuanyuan was so resolute in his work that he felt relieved and raised his glass again and said: "Marquis Yujiang is so happy to do things, he is indeed a capable officer! When Gu goes back, he will definitely say a lot of kind words to the prince on behalf of the marquis. From now on, we will become ministers of the same palace."
A capable minister like Marquis Yujiang will definitely conquer the territory and become a highly respected minister. At that time, Marquis Yujiang should not forget about Gu, and he must give me a lot of support!"
Zhang Yuanyuan was elated by Gu Anyue's praise. He patted Gu Anyue on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Oh, Mr. Gu is the prince's confidant. In the future when our prince will rule the world, Mr. Gu will definitely be granted the title of marquis and prime minister. How can I, a big boss, support you and take care of you, Gu?"
Sir, it is better for you, Sir Gu, to cultivate your brothers more! Right?" As he spoke, he winked at Qiao Chongliang.
Qiao Chongliang stood up and laughed, "What the Marquis said is absolutely true! Mr. Gu is by the prince's side, and he is a very famous person. Please, Mr. Gu, please say a few kind words for our prince in front of the prince!"
Qiao Chongliang leaned next to Gu Anyue's ear again and whispered: "Our Lord Marquis has prepared a small gift for Lord Gu. It's not respectful, but I hope Lord Gu will accept it! From now on, we will be comrades in the same boat, and I hope Lord Gu will give you more."
take care of!"
Gu Anyue knew that Zhang Yuanyuan had always been generous with his gifts. They said it was a small gift, so it must not be taken lightly! Gu Anyue was so excited that she kept saying: "Oh, how can this be so embarrassing? I have to spend money on you again, how can I feel sorry for you? Well, since Mr. Hou and
If General Qiao offers his love, I will shamelessly accept it! Hahahaha..."
Qiao Chongliang offered Gu Anyue a glass of wine, and Gu Anyue drank the wine in one gulp. The two of them showed each other their empty wine glasses, laughed and sat down. At the other tables, the minions who came from Jiannan Palace also
These officials, big and small, were in good company, and the festive atmosphere of the entire banquet was quite strong. That night, everyone on both sides returned home happily.
Late at night, in Zhang Yuanyuan's bedroom, Qiao Chongliang and Zhang Yuanyuan were sitting opposite each other. The two of them had been carried back after the banquet. But now they looked not drunk at all. It turned out that the two of them had put anti-hangover medicine in the wine glasses.
, Hegu Anyue is nothing more than hypocrisy and coercion, acting on occasion.
Zhang Yuanyuan asked softly: "Military advisor, damn Niu Mandi wants me to be used as cannon fodder to fight the Lianshan County soldiers and horses surrounding Yujiang County for him. I was just about to curse, how could you take a detour and get me to the banquet?"
Are you going up? I guess you want me to accept this matter, so I swallowed the dirty words again. Tell me, what do you think about this matter? You don't really want me to lead the troops.
Seize the Yujiang River?"
Qiao Chongliang chuckled, "Lao Zhang, we have been cooperating for four or five years, right? How do I treat you?"
Zhang Yuanyuan scratched his head, laughed naively, and then said seriously: "Old Qiao, do you need to talk to me? We just have different heads.
My last name is a life-and-death acquaintance! You have never let me suffer, and I have tried my best to treat you well. We are good friends who complement each other! Is there anything wrong with me describing it this way? Hehehehe..."
Qiao Chongliang nodded and said: "Old Zhang, I'm very happy that you have this idea! Think about it, we have eight thousand elite soldiers, no matter where we throw them, they will be a force that cannot be underestimated. Now Wei Wang Tang Jiu Sheng and Niu Mandi are fighting, who loses?
Although it’s still hard to tell who will win, Wei Wang Tang Jiusheng clearly has an advantage over Niu Mandi because he has a legitimate name and the support of the imperial court! Can Jiannan and his team fight against the entire Dashang? Obviously not!"
When Zhang Yuanyuan heard what Qiao Chongliang said, he couldn't help but become nervous, "Old Qiao, why do you still let me be cannon fodder to rob Yujiang County? If we lose, isn't it the end? If the army is defeated, who will take advantage of it?
Do we take it seriously? Eight thousand elite soldiers are all our capital, no matter which group they are in, they will take us seriously!"
Qiao Chongliang said with a smile: "We are gangsters now. Don't look at whether you have been granted the title of General Huaihua or you are the Marquis of Yujiang. That's all bullshit. He just wants us to work for them. But you think,
When are we going to end squatting on this mountain? We can't be bandits for the rest of our lives, right? Even if we go out and sell ourselves, don't we still have to find a way to sell it for a good price? Are you right?"
Zhang Yuanyuan nodded and said: "Old Qiao, what you said makes sense. Don't beat around the bush. Just tell the truth. I'm a rough man. If you keep beating around the bush, you'll confuse me!"
Qiao Chongliang said in a low voice: "Niu is famous all over the world. Now that he has pushed us to the front to confront Tang Jiusheng, shouldn't we take the opportunity to become famous? With fame, wealth will follow. There is no way that Tang Jiusheng can push us
Treat him the same as those stragglers, right? The more painful we beat him, the more he will pay attention to us, right? Hey, so we have to go to Yujiang County! Besides, Yujiang is so rich, don't you want to make a fortune?
Gain fame and fortune, huh?"
Zhang Yuanyuan's eyes lit up, "Old Qiao, you mean, under the guise of helping people fill the land, we are seeking our own interests? Are we really attacking Lianshan County's soldiers and horses, are we really attacking Yujiang County?"
Qiao Chongliang smiled and said: "If a man does not take care of himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth! No matter whether he is like this or not, I will say so first. If Yujiang is really your fiefdom, don't you want it? The land of plenty and rich Jiannan is just saying that casually
What are you saying? Since Niu Mandi can’t take back the Yujiang River, he will do a favor and say that he will give the Yujiang River to us. In fact, he just wants to use our power to attack Tang Jiusheng! Why don’t we use the trick? "
