Chapter three hundred and eighty second head but no brain
Liu Yan didn't expect that Wang Kuang's purpose of inviting him to dinner was to get the two families married. He was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Zhang'er is still young, so it's too early to talk about marriage."
Wang Kuang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Can we decide on the marriage of the two children first? We won't get married right away. Why, brother Bo Sheng looks down on me, Wang Kuang?"
Liu Yan looked up and smiled and said, "Bo Sheng didn't mean that."
Wang Kuang smiled and said: "Then we have settled this matter!"
Liu Yan shrugged and was noncommittal. He didn't like Wang Kuang very much, and the two had great conflicts in their political opinions. However, being married to Wang Kuang did have a lot of benefits for him. So regarding this matter, Liu Yan was really not able to make a decision for a while.
Although Liu Yan didn't refuse, he didn't immediately agree. Wang Kuang's face was still cheerful, but he was very unhappy in his heart. He is now a noble man. Is his daughter not worthy of your Liu Yan's son? ?
Even though Wang Kuang's proposal of marriage at this time was just out of false love, Liu Yan's lukewarm attitude still made Wang Kuang feel humiliated and secretly resentful in his heart.
He picked up the wine glass and said cheerfully: "Bosheng, come on, let's have another drink!"
Liu Yan raised his glass and said: "Do it!"
Everyone drank the wine in their cups. Wang Feng put down the cup and asked: "Bo Sheng, are you sure about sending troops to promote agriculture this time?"
Liu Yan smiled calmly and said: "The reckless thieves are no more than rotten wood. It will be easy to conquer Hongnong!"
Zhu Tun said disapprovingly: "As long as Da Situ can capture Hongnong, it will not be difficult for Ding Guogong to capture Luoyang! If Da Situ's attack on Hongnong is blocked, Chang'an's reckless army can pass through Hongnong and rush to Luoyang's aid. .”
When Liu Ji heard this, his face suddenly darkened, and he shouted dissatisfiedly: "How can a mere Hongnong stop my tens of thousands of troops?"
Zhu Tunapi said with a smile: "It took Da Situ several months to attack Wancheng, but the defense of Hongnong's city is not inferior to Wancheng at all!"
Liu Ji was about to speak, but Li Yi spoke first and said, "Da Sima is overly worried. Although Hongnong's city defense is not inferior to Wancheng, there is only one Cen Peng in the court of the Mang thief."
This is to the point. The reason why Wancheng was so difficult to attack and the Han army could not attack it for a long time, which took several months, is because the person who defended the city was Cen Peng. If it had been anyone else, Wancheng would have been defeated long ago. Why did it take so long to be captured?!
Liu Ji deeply agreed, glared at Zhu Tuna, turned to Li Yi, nodded, and said with a smile: "Come on, Ji Wen, let's have a drink with our brothers who are fighting on the front line! Some people are most capable of opening their mouths. The greatest ability is to stand and talk without backache!"
Li Yi smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass, and Liu Ji toasted each other, and both drank the glass of wine. Zhu Tuna looked on, his nose almost crooked with anger, and his face turned purple from holding back.
Seeing this, Liu Ji was in a good mood. He had a drink with Li Yi and I drank it non-stop.
During the banquet, Liu Ji and Zhu Tuna were in tit-for-tat confrontation, but tonight Li Yi seemed determined to stand by Liu Ji's side. With Li Yi's help, Liu Ji was even more powerful, and even quarreled with Zhu Tuna several times. Zhu Tuna was left speechless.
This banquet was obviously very disappointing for Zhu Kuang, and he never looked good. Before the banquet was completely over, Zhu Kuang stood up and said goodbye to Wang Kuang. As soon as Zhu Kuang left, Chen Mu and Zhang Yan also They both got up and left.
There were not many people participating in tonight's banquet. Now that Zhu Tuna, Chen Mu, and Zhang Yan have left, only five people, Wang Kuang, Wang Feng, Liu Yan, Liu Ji, and Li Yi are left.
It would have been quite boring if there were few people drinking, but with the presence of Zhu Tuna, Chen Mu, and Zhang Xian, the atmosphere was even more boring, so after the three of them left, the atmosphere became more lively.
Liu Yan, Wang Kuang, and Wang Feng exchanged cups, and Liu Ji and Li Yi chatted happily over wine. The five of them drank, and soon they were divided into two groups. Liu Yan, Wang Kuang, and Wang Feng mainly talked about the war ahead, and Liu Ji and Li Yize were chatting about everyday things.
Li Yi suddenly remembered something and smiled at Liu Ji: "By the way, I almost forgot to congratulate Ah Ji!"
Liu Ji looked puzzled and asked puzzledly: "What does Ji Wen congratulate me for?"
Li Yi smiled and said: "Yesterday A Ji went to the palace for a banquet. Didn't he complain in front of His Majesty that his official position was too small and he was just a school lieutenant? I heard that Your Majesty has made a decree today to promote A Ji to the rank of general to resist the power of the general. !”
Liu Ji blinked his eyes, sneered, and said: "My position as captain was granted by my eldest brother. The only one who can make me a general is my eldest brother. Why does Liu Xuan make me a general?"
At this time, Liu Ji's face was red from drinking, he was unconscious, and his tongue was stiff. His words were loud, even Liu Yan, Wang Kuang, and Wang Feng on the other side could hear them clearly. The three of them stopped talking. They all looked at Liu Ji.
Liu Yan frowned secretly and scolded: "Ah Ji, don't talk nonsense!"
Liu Ji said disapprovingly: "Brother, I am not talking nonsense! Our Han army's achievements today, what does it have to do with Liu Xuan, and what achievements has he made?"
The more he talked, the angrier he became, and his voice increased, and he continued: "Why should Liu Xuan, the emperor of this Han Dynasty, be allowed to be the emperor? I think he should give up his talents to his eldest brother as soon as possible!"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone present changed drastically, especially Liu Yan, whose head buzzed. Although in private, Liu Ji often complained like this, but after all, it was in private, and no outsiders were present.
But the situation is different now. Wang Kuang and Wang Feng, the two leaders of the Green Forest Department, are both here. If such treacherous words were spread, Liu Ji would not be able to chop off even ten of his heads.
Liu Yan was really anxious. He struck the table and shouted angrily: "Ah Ji, you drank too much. Go back home immediately!"
"Brother, I didn't drink too much. I meant everything I said from the bottom of my heart..."
"You still say?!" Liu Yan's eyes widened and he glared at Liu Ji angrily. Liu Ji shrank his neck in fright and woke up a little from the wine. He swallowed, looked at Liu Yan carefully, and then Look at Wang Kuang, Wang Feng, and Li Yi who were present. They didn't dare to breathe. They stood up unsteadily, bowed their hands to Liu Yan, and then walked out staggeringly.
Seeing Wang Kuang and Wang Feng letting Liu Ji go, Liu Yan's heart dropped a little and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He picked up the wine glass and said, "A Ji has always been eloquent and greedy for what is in the cup. When he is drunk, he talks nonsense. Duke Ding and Cheng Guo should not take what A Ji just said seriously. thing!"
Wang Feng looked embarrassed, coughed dryly, and said nothing.
Wang Kuang waved his hands cheerfully and said: "No, no, how could we take it to heart about Lieutenant Liu's drunken gaffe?! Haha-" After saying this, he laughed a few times , indicating that he didn’t take it seriously at all.
Wang Feng looked at Wang Kuang in surprise. Wang Kuang had always regarded Liu Ji as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh. This time Liu Ji made such rebellious remarks in public, and Wang Kuang let him go so easily?
This is so inconsistent with Wang Kuang's usual style! Wang Feng always felt that Wang Kuang was behaving very strangely, but he couldn't quite figure out what was going on.
Wang Kuang's words made Liu Yan feel more at ease. He picked up the wine glass and said seriously: "Dong Guo, Ah Ji made a mistake just now because of my lax discipline. I will punish myself with three glasses of wine!" As he spoke, Liu Yan said I drank three glasses of wine in one breath.
In fact, what Liu Ji just said can be a big or small matter. If everyone doesn't take it to heart and forget about it later, there will naturally be no problem. But if we dig deeper, the problem will be big, and Liu Ji will inevitably Be severely punished.
Fortunately, Wang Kuang was cheerful and did not mention this matter again, and continued to chat and laugh with Liu Yan over wine.
Let's talk about Liu Ji who left the Duke of Dingguo's mansion. He walked out of the gate and rode on his black horse. On the way back to the mansion, he broke into a cold sweat on his forehead.
He was really carried away just now, completely forgetting the occasion he was in, and also forgetting that Wang Kuang and Wang Feng were present.
These two people are the eldest and second brothers of the Green Forest Department, and they are incompatible political enemies with us. What he just said has undoubtedly been used by Wang Kuang and Wang Feng. If they use their words to make a big deal Making a fuss will have disastrous consequences.
But after thinking about it, Liu Ji felt relieved again and felt that he had worried too much. Wang Kuang's purpose tonight was to marry his eldest brother. Even if he was at fault, for the sake of his eldest brother, he would not put himself in trouble. How about it.
Liu Ji was riding a horse and was walking forward. Suddenly, a strong wind came from ahead. Liu Ji was a battle-hardened general. Even though he was drunk now, his nerves were still sharp.
He subconsciously turned to the side, and then heard a whooshing sound, and an arrow flew past his cheek, cutting a gash in the flesh on the side of his face.
He was startled and looked forward. He saw a black shadow flashing across the street in front of him, and ran straight into a small alley on the side of the street.
Liu Ji was furious. In Wancheng, there was an assassin who dared to shoot cold arrows at him. Was he too brave?!
Without even thinking about it, Tima chased him out.
There were several guards behind him. Everyone reacted and exclaimed: "Sir--" People followed behind and gave chase. With only their two legs, how could they go faster than the BMW Wuzui?
In the blink of an eye, Liu Ji chased him into the alley, including people and horses.
Several guards were panting and running behind them. When they were approaching the entrance of the alley, they suddenly saw dozens of men in black standing on the roofs on both sides of the street, all holding crossbows in their hands.
Bang, bang, bang! Dozens of crossbow machines fired crossbow arrows at the same time. The guards had no time to offer any resistance. In an instant, they were shot into hedgehogs by the crossbow arrows flying around them.
Let's talk about Liu Ji. He chased him into the alley on horseback. He raised his eyes and looked forward. Sure enough, there was a black shadow shaking in front of him.
He sneered and urged his horse forward. He ran only a dozen meters away, and suddenly, he found a tripping rope less than one meter in front of him.
Liu Ji's expression suddenly changed. He quickly clamped his legs around the horse's belly and raised the reins at the same time.
If it were an ordinary war horse, at such a close distance and at such a fast speed, there would be no time to react, but Wu Zhui jumped up at the moment when he was about to hit the stumbling rope.
Just when Liu Ji thought he had escaped, suddenly, a big net fell from the sky.
On the roofs on both sides of the alley, there were more than a dozen men in black standing. They worked together to lower the big net from the roof, covering Liu Ji, his men and his horses tightly.
Plop! When he landed, Liu Ji and Wu Zui fell to the ground together with Wu Zui under his crotch. Liu Ji and Wu Zui still stood up from the ground, but they were covered with a big net, so how could they stand up?
Liu Ji reacted quickly, drew out his sword, and tried to cut open the net on his body, but it was useless. This net was specially made, and the ropes were mixed with iron wires. Liu Ji's sword could not cut through it at all.
At this time, more than a hundred soldiers rushed out from the alleys on both sides of the alley. Each of them held a spear, rushed to Liu Ji, surrounded him, and pressed their spears against him.
.
"Liu Ji, you didn't think that you would have such a day, did you?!"
Liu Ji looked for the reputation and saw a man walking out from among the soldiers. Seeing the other person's appearance clearly, Liu Ji gritted his teeth and said: "Zhu Tuna!"
