540 Hongmen Banquet (Part 1)
With the arrival of the dragon chariot, the slightly noisy Wu Mansion suddenly became much quieter, and many eyes were looking towards the dragon chariot's location.
Soon, a noble man wearing a dragon robe walked down from the dragon chariot. Everyone bowed slightly and said respectfully: "Meet your Majesty."
Although the emperor no longer had much dignity in front of his ministers, the scene was still important.
"No courtesy to you, sir." Zhao Chong raised his hand, with a smile on his face, and walked towards the mansion surrounded by several people behind him.
"Your Majesty, please." The servants of the Wu Mansion also greeted Zhao Chong warmly and respectfully.
"Mr. Anyang has arrived." As soon as Zhao Chong stepped through the gate of the Wu Mansion, a loud voice sounded. Then, a car drove to the gate of the Wu Mansion. The pomp was even greater than that of Zhao Chong.
.
As Xiao Yunqi stepped down from the carriage, all the officials gathered around him, their flattering expressions showing more respect than they did towards Zhao Chong.
"Master Liu, Master Peng, Master Li..."
Xiao Yunqi raised his hands and greeted several people one by one, and then nodded to Zhao Chong without bending his waist: "I have met your Majesty."
Although there was a lot of unhappiness in his heart, Zhao Chong's brows quickly relaxed. He took back his stepped foot and walked towards Xiao Yunqi. As an emperor, he actually raised his hand towards Xiao Yunqi: "Mr. Anyang."
The faces of the ministers next to him were very calm, and they were obviously used to it.
"Anyang Gong is here, please come inside." Wu Lu greeted him personally.
"Master Chen, haven't you come yet?" Xiao Yunqi did not walk towards the mansion, but looked back. As for the Master Chen he was talking about, everyone knew that he was talking about Chen Mo.
"Should be quick...look, isn't this coming?"
Wu Lu was greeting others when he suddenly saw several figures approaching from a distance. Who could it be if it wasn't Chen Mo?
Chen Mo said hello from afar: "Thank you, Mr. Anyang, for thinking about me. I am extremely honored."
After approaching, Chen Mo glanced at the people next to Xiao Yunqi. In addition to Li Yang, there was also a first-grade warrior, and the other three were all second-grade warriors.
Including Xiao Yunqi, there are three first-grade warriors and three second-grade warriors. They are obviously well prepared.
"Li Lao, we meet again." Chen Mo bowed his hand towards Li Yang.
Li Yang returned the gift: "General Chen Mo."
"Your Majesty." Chen Mo saluted Zhao Chong again.
Zhao Chong smiled back.
"Master Wu, Mr. Wu..." Chen Mo greeted them one by one.
"Master Chen, long time no see, long time no see..." Wu Lu responded enthusiastically.
But Wu Changan nodded arrogantly to him and strode into the Witch Mansion.
"Quizi has such a temper. I hope Mr. Chen won't take it to heart." Wu Lu said with a smile.
"Where, where..."
There were many acquaintances outside the mansion, including Li Weiqiu and the other three, and some people came to talk to them. After a round, a group of people walked into the mansion.
After everyone went in, Wu Lu made a gesture to the housekeeper, and the housekeeper left immediately.
Wu Lu rubbed his shoulders and walked in.
After exchanging pleasantries for so long, Wu Lu felt even more tired than practicing.
After the housekeeper of the Wu Mansion left, he came to a courtyard. In this courtyard, there were all strong men: "You guys will pretend to be patrolling Imperial Guards later and be careful of anyone coming out over the wall."
"promise."
"Go get some heavy stones and surround the gate. Someone might want to break in later."
"promise."
"Let me know, the fish are on the table, so you can move quickly."
"promise."
…
In the courtyard of the Wu Mansion, there are about a hundred eucalyptus sheets laid out like running water. On each eucalyptus sheet are placed wine cups, three-legged tripods, lacquerware for serving dishes, ceramics, etc., which are filled with fresh flowers and fruits, meat, snacks...
.
Behind these long eucalyptus, there is a beautiful maid.
Wu Lu invited Zhao Chong to sit down, and the other ministers sat down one by one under the arrangement of the servants of the Wu Mansion. They chatted with each other, and Xiao Yunqi was naturally praised by everyone like stars holding the moon.
A heater was placed in the center of more than a hundred eucalyptus trees to provide warmth to everyone.
The houses around the courtyard were open, and inside were all the prostitutes invited from the Jiaofang Division, including those who played the guzheng, held the pipa, and played the sheng.
As Wu Lu waved his hand, various musical instruments sounded, creating a cheerful movement.
And at the moment when the music sounded, five women wearing light pink skirts, all with good figures and appearance, surrounded a girl wearing a green skirt and a veil, slowly walked to the center, and followed the music.
The sound started to dance.
Looking at the dancing waist, some ministers' eyes were already crazy.
At this time, the gate of the Witch Mansion has been closed, and it is surrounded by heavy rocks inside and outside.
One after another, figures climbed over the wall from outside the house, their outlines showing in the darkness.
...
at the same time.
A group of men from the Imperial City Division kicked open the gate of a courtyard in an aggressive manner. The guards who heard the commotion rushed forward to block the attack, but were beaten away by the men from the Imperial City Division.
A group of people did not stop and walked straight towards the backyard.
The commander in charge of the city defense at the east gate of Bianliang heard the noise coming from outside. He who was... immediately withered, and the face of the woman under him also changed drastically.
She is the wife of the deputy commander of Dongmen City Defense. She had an affair with Su Tu, the commander of Dongmen City Defense, while her husband was on duty.
The cause of this incident was all because her husband Zhang Mu wanted to curry favor with Su Tu, so he hosted a banquet for Su Tu one night and spent a lot of money on bribes to obtain the position of deputy commander of Dongmen.
But Zhang Mu didn't know that when he was drunk that night, Su Tu fell in love with his wife who came to take care of him. Seeing her beauty, he forcibly insulted her and threatened her with it.
Gradually, the two developed into the relationship they have today.
So if this matter is exposed, it will become a big deal.
Su Tu pulled up his pants and put on his robe before even having time to tie it, before climbing over the wall and preparing to leave.
However, as soon as he climbed over the wall and went out, he was surrounded by people from the Imperial City Department.
"Where are you going, Commander Su?" Quan Yangyang said with a cheerful smile.
"...What... Commander Su, you have identified the wrong person. I am Zhang Mu, you...who are you? How dare you break into a private house, I will sue you to the government." Su Tu covered his face with his hands.
road.
"Sue us?" Quanquan Yang smiled: "This is Zhang Mu's house, that's true, but you are not Zhang Mu.
Su Tu, stop pretending, your incident has come to light. Imperial City Secretary, please come with us."
Quan Yang shouted.
Su Tu's expression changed, and he immediately mobilized his zhenqi to forcefully leave, but was held down by Quan Yangyang with one hand.
"Innate Warrior." Su Tu was shocked to see that he was about to be taken away, and said hurriedly: "You...do you know who I am? I am from Anyang Gong, and the housekeeper of Xiao Mansion is my uncle. You dare to touch me,
The Xiao family cannot spare you."
