The sound of horse hooves was heard in my ears. It seemed that it was not just one or two people, but an entire army of soldiers and horses.
The hand on his shoulder was quite strong, as if he could control himself firmly with just a little effort.
After the initial daze, Zhang Shou immediately relaxed and asked with a smile without looking back: "Master Hua Qi, don't you come for a drink?"
"You kid, you are indeed interesting and very good."
Hua Qi saw that many people who heard the sound of horse hooves were looking around nervously, and even some of Guijie's disciples looked panicked, so he laughed lazily.
"Don't panic, I sent a message back last night. It's just that the bosses in the capital finally came to their senses and mobilized their troops to sweep away the group of fish that slipped through the net in Linhai Camp. Eat yours and drink yours in peace.
, do they still dare to treat you as rebels and suppress them?"
His voice didn't seem loud at first, but almost every member of Guijie heard it clearly. In just an instant, the commotion and restlessness that had just arisen on the flowing water mat was immediately suppressed.
But Zhang Shou heard something between the lines. What does it mean to dare to treat you as a rebel army? What if someone dares to do so?
Realizing that Hua Qi was still pressing his shoulders and sitting down next to him, Zhang Shou calmly held the pot and poured a cup for the person. He saw that the person drank the cup with one hand, but still did not loosen the button.
Even Zhu Ying looked sideways at the hand holding his shoulder, not to mention Wu, who frowned slightly. As soon as he thought about it, he immediately put down the wine bottle.
"Master Hua Qi, I have a few things on my mind that I want to tell you. Can you make it easier?"
"Oh?" Hua Qi smiled slightly and said with deep eyes, "Of course you can."
Seeing that the hand on his shoulder suddenly relaxed, Zhang Shou smiled and put down the wine pot and tea cup, and left the table calmly. When he walked more than ten steps and arrived in front of his big house at the entrance of the village, he could even see the officials in the distance.
There was dust on the road, and he asked: "Master Hua Qi just held me down, was he afraid that I would say something inappropriate? Is there something wrong with the soldiers and horses who came?"
Hua Qi was silent for a moment, and then sneered: "The eldest lady has a delicate heart that turns over and over again, but she is too lazy to use her brain until it is necessary. You are smarter than her, how will you two live in the future?"
?”
Seeing that Zhang Shou looked dumbfounded, he just said calmly: "There is a difference between taking an adventure with preparation time in advance and suddenly facing a dangerous situation. I'm afraid that you could be calm last night, but today you will act calmly when faced with a sudden change.
At a loss.”
"But it seems that you are calmer than I thought. However, you are Yingying's fiancé, the son-in-law of Zhao Guogong, and the grandson-in-law of that lady. You will face more storms in the future, so it's better to practice now. To tell you the truth
Well, the troops and horses I left outside did not send a message in advance, so there may be something wrong with the troops and horses that came."
After Hua Qi finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards the path that led directly to the official road outside the village. She said without looking back: "But, I have already reported what happened last night to the capital. Even if it is true.
The leader of the army really has a problem. As long as he doesn't want to become a rebel or a traitor, he shouldn't be crazy. But I'm not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. I will deal with it and I will give a warning if something happens."
Zhang Shou felt helpless. This was really a wave of chaos. If someone came with the intention of quelling the chaos openly and suppressing the news secretly, then the worst possibility would be to bring down the whole village, including Guijie's children.
They slaughtered them all together and then blamed the rebels.
Just like Hua Qi said, this possibility is actually very small, but it must be guarded against...
Thinking of this possibility, he turned around suddenly and was almost startled by a person standing behind him.
If not Zhu Ying, who else?
He asked subconsciously: "Did you hear everything?"
"Of course I heard them all!" Zhu Ying raised her head slightly and hummed softly, "You and Uncle Hua knew how to hide it from me!"
Zhang Shou couldn't help but laugh. The eldest lady thought she was pretending to be very similar, but from her relaxed tone, he knew that she must have just come here secretly. He stared at the few more drinks he had just drank, and his cheeks became even more flushed.
She watched for a while, and when he saw her staring at Hua Qi's back with curiosity, he smiled and said, "I just don't want to let your birthday party be a disappointment. Come on, let's go back."
Returning to the flowing water table, Zhang Shou took Zhu Ying with him to drink from table to table, but he only took a sip from time to time. Even so, no one in the village was disrespectful.
And even if Guijie's disciples didn't think that he was a disciple of Ge Yong, and they had just shared the credit, they still had to look at the face of Zhu Ying, who was following him and watching him eagerly. Therefore, drinking all the wine himself didn't count, and none of them dared to drink more.
But after the two people passed by, Lu Sanlang heard Zhang Lu muttering: "It's just a birthday celebration, it looks like we are getting married."
"If you have the guts, go ask the lady in Duke Zhao's residence why she even let Miss Zhu spend her birthday here." Lu Sanlang stabbed him angrily, and then said tactfully, "What a marriage, how can there be a groom?"
Wear purple..."
In the past, he used to pursue Zhu Ying to get rid of his self-righteous father and brother. Now that he is a disciple and grandson of Ge, he can throw away the shield of Zhu Ying... Then he can use the young gentleman Zhang Shou as a shield in the future!
Zhang Shou calmly toasted and picked a specific person to give a few instructions. Zhu Ying didn't notice it at first, but gradually she realized that if she was flattering a lot of Yang Lao Guan at the beginning, when she turned around
By then, the person had disappeared. Not only Yang Laoguan, but also several faces she was vaguely familiar with also disappeared.
When she finally walked back, she couldn't help but grabbed Zhang Shou's sleeve while she was paying attention: "You have a round of toasts. There are at least a dozen people on this flowing banquet. What did you just say to them?"
?What are you and Uncle Hua hiding from me?"
Zhang Shou looked at his sleeves, which had fallen into the hands of the eldest lady again, and then looked at the familiar table beside him, where all the guys clearly lowered their heads but did not forget to peek. He could only cough lightly and said: "Go back
explain……"
However, as soon as these three words came out of his mouth, Zhu Ying did not object, but someone couldn't help but protested: "Is there anything you can't say in front of us?"
Zhang Chen's face turned red when he saw Huo Ran getting up. He knew without thinking that he must have drank a few more bowls of wine to drown his sorrows. When he saw that the person's bloodshot eyes were not staring at Zhu Ying, but at himself, Zhang Shou
He couldn't help but laugh, and then he pulled Lu Sanlang away and sat down at this table.
Zhu Ying, who unknowingly let go of his sleeves, reacted, immediately kicked out the other person, and sat down at the table domineeringly. Immediately afterwards, the eldest lady looked at the other person at the same table with a knife-like look.
Both of them were driven away.
Realizing that the sound of horse hooves had stopped, Zhang Shou didn't know the outcome of Hua Qi's negotiation. He saw that Lu Sanlang had squeezed away a Guijie disciple who couldn't stand Zhu Ying's domineering look, while Zhang Wu and several of the first ones who had seen
But people who saw his true face gathered around him, and he whispered lightly: "Just now Mr. Hua Qi said that the soldiers and horses outside may be reinforcements, or maybe they are coming with bad intentions."
For this group of noble disciples, the word "unkind person" was enough to shock them. Even Zhang Chen, who was drunk, suddenly woke up. For a moment, seven or eight faces around him turned pale.
After the initial shock and anger, Zhu Ying immediately slapped her hand on the table, but her voice was extremely low: "What are you afraid of? No matter which army you have, if you really want to have bad intentions, as long as you turn around, we can survive."
People, they will all kill the nine tribes!"
Zhang Shou then smiled slightly and said: "That's right, so I asked Mr. Yang and the others to take away all the rebels last night. Since they have been pretending to be peaceful farmers under my nose for so many years, they still have this ability.
As long as the person who silenced him can't be caught, I think even if the person who came here was evil, he wouldn't take such a stupid risk."
Zhu Ying greatly agreed. She patted the table again and said word by word: "Didn't someone regret that it was not put to use last night? Everyone come to the table with Ah Shou and me to sit! If anyone dares to enter the village later, then
Show off your usual momentum in the capital! Let’s see who is afraid of who!”
"Yes, who is afraid of whom!" Zhang Chen drank another glass of wine, and then glanced at everyone with a fierce glance, "Let's just sit down and eat and drink happily. If the sky falls... let's hold it together!"
