Chapter 295 Hongmen Banquet

That night, Wang Yue hurriedly entered the governor's house.

Arriving at Wang Can's study, Wang Yue bowed to Wang Can, took out the bundled bamboo slips from his sleeves, handed it to Wang Can's hand, and said, "My lord, all Jia Long's materials are inside. Please read it, lord."

Wang Can took the bamboo slips, browsed them quickly, and said, "Ziwu, these messages are so important."

After a pause, Wang Can continued: "The Hero Building is very good. It can collect information about Jia Long and Ren Qi so quickly. However, the Hero Building still needs to continue to develop and strive to penetrate Yizhou as soon as possible to obtain more information."

Wang Yue said sternly: "Don't worry, my lord, I will certainly live up to my high expectations despite my humble position."

Wang Can thought for a while and said: "Now that the hero buildings in each state have developed, they have contributed a lot, and it is time to show their contribution. You will go to see the chief registrar Cheng Yu tomorrow and get one hundred acres for each of your disciples.

Fertile land, and a village. As for yourself, receive 500 acres of fertile land, plus a village."

After finishing speaking, Wang Can picked up the brush, wrote down the reward order, stamped it with a seal and gave it to Wang Yue.

Wang Yue accepted Wang Can's reward, with a smile on his face, and thanked him: "The more you thank me, my lord."

Wang Can said: "They have been away for many years and rarely get together with their wives and children. They also shoulder the heavy responsibility of prospering the hero building, which is not easy. Having one hundred acres of fertile land and farmland can also solve their worries and ensure that their wives, children and children at home will not go hungry.

I'm freezing. Okay, it's late at night, let's go back."

Wang Yue nodded, bowed to Wang Can, and left happily.

Wang Can got Jia Long's information and began to think about how to deal with Jia Long's visit.

Judging from the information Wang Yue investigated, Jia Long was not only a person from Yizhou, but also a representative of the Jia family, a large local family in Yizhou. He was also able to unite the large Yizhou families and was a giant among the large Yizhou families.

Being able to put down the Ma Xiang rebellion in half a month shows his outstanding ability.

Being able to bring Yizhou's big families together shows that its prestige and virtue are very good.

Jia Long has neither ability nor prestige.

If such a person can be used for his own purposes and placed next to Liu Yan, he will definitely play an important role in Wang Can's attack on Yizhou in the future. After careful consideration, Wang Can decided to meet Jia Long. A thought flashed in his mind

After thinking about it, he immediately called for the soldiers, gave them some instructions, and then went to sleep with a happy face.



In the inn, in the wing room.

Jia Long and Ren Qi sat opposite each other. Jia Long looked calm, but Ren Qi looked worried and had panic eyes.

During the day, Xun You came to visit and said that Wang Can was training soldiers at the foot of Han Mountain to increase his strength. This made Ren Qi feel a huge wave in his heart, thinking that Wang Can would definitely go to war with Liu Yan. If this was the case, Ren Qi and Jia Long, as Liu Yan,

Yan's envoys will definitely become the target of Wang Can's murder and prestige.

Now that the two of them are staying in Hanzhong, they are already like meat on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered by Wang Can.

Ren Qi saw that Jia Long's expression was as usual and he was not anxious at all. He said eagerly: "Jia Gong, what Xun You said today shows that Wang Can is determined to confront Liu Yan. Let's also prepare to escape."

Si had just arrived in Hanzhong and was preparing to persuade Wang Can to cooperate with Wang Can. Wang Can would lead the army to attack Liu Yan. He and Jia Long led the Yizhou clan to raise troops in Chengdu to respond to Wang Can. Their ultimate goal was to make Jia Long the Yizhou commander.

The state pastor ensures the interests of Yizhou's wealthy families.

However, upon hearing Xun You's words, Ren Qi immediately became anxious.

Compared with life, everything else can be given up.

Jia Long opened his eyes with slightly narrowed eyes and said calmly: "Don't worry, Wang Can has no intention of killing us at the moment."

"Is this true?"

"really!"

"Huhu..." After receiving Jia Long's reply, Ren Qi let out a long sigh of relief, and his heart hanging in the air calmed down. As long as Jia Long thinks there is no danger, then there must be no danger.

"Bang! Bang!"

There was a gentle knock on the door.

"who!"

When Ren Qi heard the knock on the door, he instinctively stood up from his seat, put his right hand on the hilt of his sword, and looked wary. Just when Ren Qi turned around and was about to walk towards the door, Jia Long said with a smile: "Ren Qi

, Don’t be so nervous, outside the house is my attendant Jia Yu. Besides, this is a post station in Hanzhong for receiving officials, and there are soldiers protecting it around, so there will be no danger."

Ren Qi shook his head and said, "You'd better be careful when you're in Hanzhong."

After the words fell, Jia Yu's voice came from outside the door: "Master, it's me."

Hearing the voice that was indeed Jia Yu's, Ren Qi showed an embarrassed look on his face, then opened the door and returned to his seat.

Jia Yu glanced at Ren Qi, who looked nervous, with a flash of contempt in his eyes. He bowed to Jia Long and Ren Qi and said, "Sir, the servants of the Prefect's Mansion have received news that Wang Can rushed back to the Prefect's Mansion overnight.

"

"Oh, you're back so soon."

Jia Long's eyes flashed with a look of contemplation on his face, and he said: "Jia Yu, it's great to get the news about Wang Can's return in a short time. Don't be stingy with money, use more money to reward the servants of the Prefecture.

Guaranteed to get the news in the shortest possible time.”

After a pause, Jia Long said again: "Judging from the time of Wang Can's return, he attaches great importance to us, otherwise Wang Can would not have rushed back to the prefect's mansion overnight. In this case, I will visit Wang Can tomorrow. Jia Yu,

Ren Qi, you all go to bed and meet Wang Can early tomorrow morning."



Early the next morning, Jia Long and Ren Qi went to the prefect's mansion.

Along the way, Jia Long squinted his eyes and rested his mind, while Ren Qi was uneasy, still worried in his heart, fearing that Wang Can would act mischievously and kill them directly.

"Sir, we have arrived at the prefect's mansion."

Not long after, the groom driving the horse stopped and shouted.

Jia Long and Ren Qi got off the carriage and walked to the prefect's mansion. When they walked up the steps and were about to enter the prefect's mansion, the guard guard reached out and stopped Jia Long and Ren Qi. The two soldiers looked cold and murderous.

, cold eyes looked back and forth at Jia Long and Ren Qi for a long time, and then asked: "Who are you, and what business do you have in coming to the Prefect's Mansion?"

When Jia Long heard this, his heart suddenly sank.

He and Ren Qi came to visit in a big way, Wang Can must have got the news.

However, the two soldiers guarding the gate stopped them, which showed that Wang Can wanted to give him and Ren Qi a blow! What Jia Long was thinking was not revealed on his face. He also looked gloomy and shouted coldly.

"How dare you, I am Jia Long, the envoy from Yizhou, and I have come to pay a visit to Governor Wang on the orders of Liuzhou Mu. What are your intentions in blocking my way? When I see Governor Wang, I will explain this matter to him.

I want to punish you for the crime of disrespect, and get out of the way quickly, otherwise don’t blame me for being rude."

Jia Long was engaged in Yizhou and held a high position. He lived in Yiqi and nourished Yibo. He shouted loudly and exuded endless majesty.

The two soldiers were stunned when Jia Long shouted at them. Immediately, one of the soldiers whispered a few times in the ear of the other soldier, and then let Jia Long and Ren Qi in.

Seeing this, Jia Long flicked his sleeves and walked to the prefect's mansion.

Ren Qi followed Jia Long and whispered: "Jia Gong, it was too thrilling just now."

Jia Long glanced at Ren Qi and shook his head imperceptibly.

A member of a big family like Ren Qi is quite capable and can dominate Hanzhong. However, in the Central Plains where talents gather, he must be an inferior figure, especially Jia Long and Xun You.

After talking with each other, I felt that the Xun family in Yingchuan had a profound heritage that could not be matched by the wealthy families in Hanzhong.

The two of them walked to the hall of the prefect's mansion. Ren Qi looked left and then again, always paying attention to the flow of people in the mansion, hoping to observe whether Wang Can mobilized soldiers and really had the intention of killing people.

Suddenly, Ren Qi exclaimed: "Master Jia, look, look ahead, there is a big cauldron filled with boiling water."

Looking around, I saw a large cauldron as tall as a person standing in the middle of the road.

The cauldron was filled with boiling water and sizzling mist. Below the cauldron, dry firewood burned brightly, causing the boiling water in the cauldron to rise with steam.

When Jia Long saw this scene, he frowned slightly and had a look of surprise on his face. Immediately, he regained his composure and said loudly: "Ren Qi, you are the envoy of Yizhou. You should speak and behave like an envoy from Yizhou."

Pay attention to your identity and don’t be frightened by a big cauldron filled with water and boiling. Now in the Hanzhong territory, it has long been Wang Can’s sphere of influence. Even if we use swords and axes together, we don’t have the strength to resist. But the more so.

, the more courage you need to have the courage to remain unchanged despite the collapse of Mount Tai."

Ren Qi's face turned bitter when he heard Jia Long's words.

Such a large cauldron was placed on the way to the hall. It was clearly placed here intentionally.

What if you were thrown into the cauldron?

Ren Qi thought about the scalding water hitting his body, and immediately felt his scalp numb, with a look of fear on his face. Last night, Jia Long also said that Wang Can would not have any thoughts of killing them, but judging from the current situation, it would

If there is something wrong, Wang Can will probably be thrown into the cauldron and cooked.

This fellow Wang Can actually held a Hongmen Banquet!

Ren Qi sighed in his heart and followed Jia Long towards the hall.

Approaching the hall, I saw twenty soldiers wearing armor and holding swords standing on the left and right sides of the door of the hall. Ten people on the left and ten on the right. The soldiers on both sides had sharp swords and raised them.

The swords collided with each other. Under the sunlight, the bright swords emitted an icy light, sending chills down the spine.

If Jia Long and Ren Qi wanted to enter the hall, they had to walk through a sword formation composed of twenty soldiers.

However, these soldiers are all veterans of many battles, and their aura is different from that of the soldiers guarding the gate.

Violent!

Fierce!

This is what Jia Long felt from the soldiers when he approached twenty soldiers.

In this regard, Jia Long did not have the slightest fear. He held his head high and his chest high, with no fear on his face and an expression neither sad nor happy. He strode forward, passed through the sword formation formed by the soldiers, and walked towards the hall.

Jia Long was not afraid, but Ren Qi's heart was beating fast and his face looked a little pale.
