The prefect Jiang Yishan had already heard the news and stood outside the palace gate to greet him.
"I have met the prefect." Wang Junlin clasped his fists on his horse and saluted, then jumped off the horse, and the others dismounted with him.
"I have met the Marquis of Qin'an." After Jiang Yishan waited for Wang Junlin to dismount, he bowed his hands and saluted. Although his official position was one level higher than Wang Junlin's, Wang Junlin's title was much higher than him, and the honorary title of General Zhenyuan was based on his rank.
After all, it is the same as Tai Tai, both of which are the fourth grade.
Jiang Yishan's posture was very low. After saluting at this time, he said loudly: "I heard that Marquis Qin An was appointed as the general of Yingyang Lang in Zhangye County. I was very happy. I sent people to watch the post station outside the city every day, hoping that Marquis Qin An would be appointed.
I took office as soon as possible, and now that the Marquis of Qin An is here to visit me, it is really a blessing."
Wang Junlin smiled and kept his posture very low. He was always modest and cautious. He quickly returned the greeting and said with a smile: "I was delayed on the way to Xiaguan. I came a few days late. Don't blame me, the prefect. I'm lucky. In addition, Xiaguan
I have specially prepared some small gifts, and I hope you will accept them." After saying that, some soldiers carried the gifts.
Jiang Yishan hurriedly thanked him and said, "Thank you, Marquis Qin An, for taking the trouble, but it is a disgrace to me."
After being polite for a moment, he raised his hand as a gesture of invitation and said with a smile: "I am preparing a banquet in my official residence. I would like to invite the Marquis of Qin An to speak to me."
Wang Junlin led everyone without being polite, and strode towards the mansion, and the accompanying soldiers also filed in. When they arrived at the middle gate, when Wang Junlin, Chong Yao, Xu Jingzong, Yu Zimo, and Zhan Peng entered the middle
As he opened the door, a general came up, stopped the soldiers behind him, and said with a smile: "Please stay here, and I will go down to the outer room to have tea and a meal."
Huang Zitao, who had just served as the centurion leader of the scout team of Wang Junlin's personal regiment, scowled and said, "I only listen to the orders of my Lord Marquis. Who are you and dare to make noise here?" After that, he didn't wait for that person.
He said more, pushed him away, and led everyone to rush in. However, Wang Junlin from the inner room turned around and shouted: "Don't be rude, you will wait for me outside."
"Yes!" After hearing the order, Huang Zitao did not dare to be reckless. He led more than 150 soldiers to line up outside the middle gate, and did not go to rest. Instead, he seemed to be the guest and guarded the middle for Jiang Yishan's subordinates.
Come to the door.
Jiang Yishan took it in his eyes, but didn't say much. He just smiled at Wang Junlin and said, "I've heard for a long time that the Marquis of Qin An manages the army well, and the tiger man under his command is indeed extraordinary."
After saying that, Jiang Yishan looked at Wang Junlin with a half-smile, obviously wanting to see what Wang Junlin said.
However, Wang Junlin didn't care and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, I have given you a compliment. They are just some arrogant soldiers who don't know etiquette at all, and they make me laugh."
After Wang Junlin finished speaking, the two of them laughed loudly and laughed, and the matter was over. Jiang Yishan waved his hand again to invite Wang Junlin in.
At this time, the prefect's mansion had already been prepared. As soon as Wang Junlin arrived and sat down at the banquet, young maids appeared and brought food and wine to them. Although Jiang Yishan himself was diligent and frugal, this kind of banquet was extremely grand.
Therefore, the food and wine at the venue are extremely rich.
Next, Jiang Yishan asked his nephews to visit Wang Junlin one by one. During this period, everyone noticed that Wang Junlin looked extremely ugly and could even be called a ferocious insect demon, but they all thought that he was Wang Junlin's aide.
With Wang Junlin's background, it was not surprising that there were strange people around him, and no one paid much attention to it. But what no one noticed was that there was a small black cauldron under the insect demon's clothes, and tiny centipedes were quietly drilling through it.
Come out, follow the floor, avoid human feet, and get behind the curtains on both sides.
The whole banquet process seemed normal. Both parties were harmonious and friendly. Especially after a team of beautiful dancers came on stage, the atmosphere became even more lively.
Jiang Yishan looked around the hall and saw that Wang Junlin and everyone around him were attracted by the dancers. He wanted to break the cup as a signal and let the five hundred guards hidden on both sides of the hall rush into the hall and kill Wang Junlin in one fell swoop. But.
At this time, the middle gate is controlled by Wang Junlin's guards. If the problem cannot be solved quickly, other changes will occur.
He had also heard that Wang Junlin was powerful and powerful, and could be regarded as an enemy of ten thousand people. When things came to a close, he couldn't help but beat a little drum in his heart, and couldn't help but glance at the indifferent old man behind him. He and Wang Junlin
But just a few steps away, fighting together, with his martial arts and the expert guard sent to him by Yu Zhongwen, can he ensure that he is safe? He doesn't have much confidence in this.
Thought after thought tumbled in his mind, but finally a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, and the wine glass in his hand smashed to the ground with a little force. Suddenly, the hall became silent.
Wang Junlin glanced at Jiang Yishan with a half-smile and said, "Is it possible that the prefect is drunk and can't even hold the wine glass steady?"
Jiang Yishan's expression changed at this time, because he threw the wine glass according to the plan, but the planned five-hundred-sword axe-hand did not appear, but he had to force himself to calm down at this time, looked at Wang Junlin and said with a smile:
"It makes Marquis Qin An laugh. I have never been a good drinker."
At this moment, a sudden change occurred.
The old man who had been standing behind Jiang Yishan suddenly drew his sword and slashed at Jiang Yishan's neck. If this cut was real, Jiang Yishan's head would definitely be missing.
In the midst of the lightning and flint, Wang Junlin seemed to have known that the old man would do this for a long time. He raised his right hand and hid the miniature steel in his sleeve. The two iron spikes in the crossbow were shot out. One shot towards the old man's throat, and the other shot out.
When he spoke to the old man's heart, the old man's face changed, and the long knife in his hand changed direction halfway.
Ding ding!
There was a sound of gold and stone clashing, and the two iron thorns were blocked by the old man. However, Jiang Yishan reacted with an explosion of anger, and the spear hidden under the table stabbed back fiercely, with a hiss, piercing the old man, and then
He threw the two dancers to the ground casually, scaring the dancers into screaming, then dispersed and ran out of the hall quickly.
There was a dead silence in the field, and everyone was shocked. Jiang Yishan's expression changed. Looking at the dead old man, his face was full of disbelief, but there was shame and anger deep in his eyes.
"Good marksmanship." Wang Junlin smiled slightly, with a look of surprise. Although he also knew that Jiang Yishan was a rare person with both civil and military skills, he did not expect that Jiang Yishan's martial arts had reached a stagnation stage. After all, human energy is limited, no matter what
Both studying and practicing martial arts are very time-consuming and energy-consuming. The fact that he can achieve very high achievements in both areas shows that Jiang Yishan is a man of great talent, will and character.
"Thank you so much, Marquis Qin An, for saving your life. I didn't expect this person to be an assassin in disguise. If Marquis Qin An hadn't taken action at the last possible moment, I would have been wearing a different body." Jiang Yishan had some vague guesses, and his expression became darker.
It was getting uglier and uglier, but it was hard to accept for a while.
