Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 286
Guided by Ji Ling, the group slowly drove into the city.

Among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, Chu State respected the east, as can be seen from the fact that the highest god in "Chu Ci. Nine Songs" is "East Emperor Taiyi".

As the former capital of the Chu State, the layout of the city of Shouchun is naturally centered on the east, with Miyagi in the northeast and the main urban area in the southeast. After passing through more than a dozen alleys behind Qing Street, and then bypassing the outer city Wang Zheng finally came to the palace in the northeast corner.

Under the ravages of hundreds of years of wind and rain, the dilapidated palace has been extensively renovated after Yuan Shu took over, but it has formed an old frame, a new wall, and has restored some of its former appearance.

Entering the palace, after passing through a few palace barriers, a road suddenly came into view, the length of which was unknown, and the width of ten feet, which made Wang Zheng secretly speechless.

The size is nothing, the main thing is that he glanced at it, but saw that the road was paved with yellow bricks one foot square, as smooth as a mirror, and was spotlessly washed. He asked Ji Ling beside him, and he knew that it was paving the road Sometimes the floating soil is rammed extremely tightly, and then grouted with high-quality glutinous rice, so it can be leveled like this.

Yangzhou is indeed a rich place.

Wang Zheng secretly complained that it would be so extravagant for the Skeleton King to build a road.

According to Ji Ling, in the past, except for the state shepherd, only his relatives and descendants were able to ride horses and carts on this road. Today, it is also the first time to ride a horse because of the honor of Wang Zheng.

While chatting and walking forward, Wang Zheng looked around and saw on both sides of the avenue, every five steps there were soldiers holding halberds, standing like a rock. It is the elite of the thousand.

Yang Hong at the front had already taken care of everything. Seeing that Ji Ling had arrived with Wang Zheng, the guards at the gate immediately opened the door to let him through. After walking through the avenue, there was already a forbidden area behind, but the soldiers of the Heavenly Army could no longer accompany him in.

After ordering them to stay outside the palace, Wang Zheng and Ji Ling continued on their way. Along the way, Qiongcaoyaohua, pavilions and pavilions were full of aura of wealth and nobility.

After crossing a wooden bridge of Feijiahu Pavilion, we walked for another mile or two, and finally came to a large hall.

Looking up, there was a plaque hanging on the gate of the palace. The dragon-flying and phoenix-like seal characters made Wang Zheng more difficult to recognize. At this moment, Ji Ling stopped and approached in a low voice: "My lord will be waiting for the general at Zhanghua Palace."

As he said that, he said to the guards outside the hall: "Xuzhou Inspector Wang Zheng has arrived, please pass it on quickly."

Oh, these two characters are Zhang Hua?

Although he is a pure earth turtle in this life, Wang Zheng in his previous life was also a person who had been to the Forbidden City. Although the palace is magnificent, it would not make him feel uneasy. Having seen many traces of renovation earlier, I can't help but have a general understanding of Yuan Shu's personality.

To put it mildly, it means emphasizing pomp and etiquette, but to put it bluntly, it means indulge in pleasure.

Soon, a person in charge of dressing up came out to spread the word: "The state shepherd is here to invite you."

Damn, there are even eunuchs?

Secretly complaining, Wang Zheng nodded with a smile, then nodded to Ji Ling, and walked towards the hall.

He couldn't trust the person who handed over the Excalibur to Yuan Shu, he had already guessed that there would be a request to unload the weapon before entering the palace, and he had already handed Chengsheng Wanlifu to the soldiers in advance.

Wang Zheng had just walked in, and when he looked around, he saw that many people had already arrived in the hall at this time. There were forty seats on each side of the east and west sides, all facing the large space like a square in the center of the hall. They are the so-called noble ministers, and the rear seats are family members and samurai generals with special status.

The north side facing the palace gate is naturally the king's seat, and the middle-aged man who is reclined at this time, presumably is Yuan Shu.

This prince from the Yuan family in Runan looks very good, with a handsome face, sharp eyes, broad forehead, and a dignified appearance, but he is a little too thin, his lips are not thick enough, and his face is a little too pale.

Han Li respected elders and young ones very much, the other party was older than himself no matter in terms of power or age, Wang Zheng would not push himself up, he stepped forward and bowed slightly to put himself under, and immediately said loudly: "Young Wang Zheng, I have seen Yangzhou Mu."

Hearing this young and unfamiliar voice, many people at the table turned their heads at this time, glanced at Wang Zheng, and looked up and down.

Seeing Wang Zheng's physique far surpassing that of ordinary people, Yuan Shu's eyes lit up, he laughed loudly and said, "Is the king of Qingzhou, Yu Kou, under your feet?"

"Since you and I are allies, there is no need to be so formal."

"Inspector Wang, can you take a few steps forward?"

Wang Zheng didn't understand what he meant, but judging from Yuan Shu's title, and the tone of his voice was very friendly, even so, it was hard for him to say anything, so he nodded and walked straight away.

At this time Yuan Shu also sat upright, looked at Wang Zheng carefully for a while, and praised, "You are really young and heroic, extraordinary."

"It's no wonder that Yan Xiang often praised Benhou here after Linzi, and even commented 'brave and mighty', great kindness, great kindness."

"When you see Yu Kou, you know that future generations will be fearful." Having said this, Yuan Shu sighed and said, "This Marquis feels that the sun and the moon are rushing forward, and the old general is here!"

His voice is soft and melodious, refined and flat, and his tone is gentle. Although he was full of praise when we first met, and even directly addressed Wang Zheng with words, there was no abruptness at all, and it made people feel like a spring breeze.

"The Spring and Autumn Period of Zhoumu is at its peak, and it's the time to make great achievements." Wang Zhengke said a few words, and then said: "Zheng came to the west on this trip to meet the venerable. In Qianfan Xinde County, it is rich in ginseng, and it is also accepted by Wangzhou Muxiao.

"

"You are a young man with a lot of etiquette." Yuan Shu chuckled, took his gift list, glanced at it, and said, "Taishan ginseng is a good thing, ouch, and white crisp pears. This is Feng County, Xuzhou It is a special product, expensive as a tribute, and famous all over the world. Ben Hou once ate it when he was a general of Zhonglang, and I still remember it." Passed it to the eunuch who had passed the message before, took Wang Zheng's hand, and said with a smile: "Yukou knows my heart very well. .

"This gift of food is exactly what I want."

Beckon everyone to come over and introduce them one by one.

This was the time when Yuan Shu was at its peak, and there were a lot of martial arts, but Wang Zheng was polite on the surface, but his eyes kept looking around in the hall, and every time he saw a person, he looked at the appearance first without listening to the name, and he completely judged people by their appearance.

It's just that he still didn't hear the name that he was looking forward to, which made him very resentful.

Damn, they are all nobody.

Where is my brother Gongjin!

Although Yuan Shu didn't notice his strangeness, but many civil and military officials saw Wang Zheng's perfunctory, and thought that this son became famous as a young man, arrogant and arrogant, and didn't take them seriously. He secretly scolded Zhuzi in his heart.

"There are a lot of talents in the state pastoral tent." Seeing that Yuan Shu had finished his introduction, Wang Zheng finally couldn't hold back and asked, "Uh, are you all here?"

"Except for Bo Fu who is busy with military affairs, he is not in Shouchun at this time." Yuan Shu said with a smile, "All the talents under my tent gather here."

"Why, Yu Kou." Finally realizing that Wang Zheng was a bit disappointed, Yuan Shu teased, "Could it be that I fell in love with Bo Fu at first sight, and I feel lost when I don't see him?"

"Haha, it doesn't matter, since you have come to Yangzhou, you will see me sooner or later."

Who wants to see that pen holder.

Wang Zheng laughed dryly, but judging from the present, Yuan Shu still praised him very much. If you respect me, I will naturally respect you. The so-called beating a dog depends on the owner. He also praised Sun Ce in return: " Brother Bofu is the real young talent, and the government is not as good as it is."

"But such talents, if there is no Bole like Zhoumu, they will be hidden in the sand, and it will be difficult to shine."

While they were talking, countless beauties shuttled back and forth inside and outside the palace like butterflies, and brought all the altars of fine wine.

Then the singers, dancers, and musicians, led by the eunuch, saluted Yuan Shu first, then retreated to the corner, plucked the strings and tuned the music.

After the banquet was set up, Yuan Shu took Wang Zheng's hand and asked him to sit beside him, and said with a smile to everyone, "Everyone, invite yourself to the table."

The palace is huge, even with hundreds of people gathered, it still looks a little empty, the seats are placed relatively in front, and there is a large area above the entrance of the hall, and the singers and dancers all moved to that place under the instructions of the internal officials.

Yuan Shu said to Wang Zheng: "I didn't know you came today, it's just a coincidence. All of you here are old brothers who have been in the army for many years. I intend to have a small gathering today and simply be together. They are all my own people, so you don't need to be polite."

He took a glass of wine first, took a sip, and said: "Everyone, drink up!"

"Thank you, my lord!"

"Today's family banquet, you can do whatever you want." Pointing to Wang Zheng, Yuan Shu said with a smile: "But you must greet my nephew and nephew, the ally of our army."

Everyone laughed, Yuan Shu said, "Yu Kou, since you have martial arts strategy, you should get close to these warriors."

During the introduction just now, there were a lot of official titles and names, and Wang Zheng didn't remember many of them. Hearing this, he quickly laughed and said, "There are like clouds of tiger generals under the tent of Zhou Mu, and the government has been like a thunderbolt for a long time. It's a great fortune to see you today."

Yuan Shu laughed and said, "Being lucky is worse than having wine!"

Everyone burst into laughter, and said one after another: "Zhou Mu's words are reasonable, Wang Cishi, drink three cups before talking."

At this time, a general with Qiuxu stood up and shouted: "What do you count as two cups? These small cups can't wet the bottom of your tongue. It's really not refreshing. Why don't you change to a bigger bowl, Zhou Mu, what do you think?"

Yuan Shu chuckled and didn't speak.Wang Zheng scoffed.

He is the head of one party's power, and he is new to another family's territory. He should not drink alcohol due to emotion and reason, let alone drink too much.

This reckless man's proposal can be said to be uneasy and well-intentioned, it is clearly intended to make him look ugly.

It's a pity. Glancing at the transparent box, Wang Zheng sneered secretly. His current strength is as high as 48 points, and his physique has already far surpassed ordinary people. Speaking of it, it should not be too difficult to get him drunk.

Although he had confidence, on the surface Wang Zheng refused again and again, and even deliberately showed panic. The general really caught the trick, and shouted louder.

"Inspector Wang, I heard that you started a fight with bare hands and made a fortune. I thought you were a heroic husband, but why are you acting like a bitch!"

Whether I am a husband or not, let your wife try to find out!
Wang Zheng cursed secretly, and continued to refuse, the general immediately became anxious, and asked someone to change the big bowl on his own initiative, and when he took several cases and let them go, even Wang Zheng was startled.

Good guy, are you trying to force someone to death?

At this point, he finally stopped pretending, and directly drank three bowls first, and then looked at the general with a smile.

Seeing him drinking so boldly all of a sudden, the general was taken aback for a moment, as if he realized something was wrong, but at this time he couldn't give up, so he had to drink three bowls of wine in a hurry. Another three bowls.

Going back and forth like this, it took only a short time, and it was already more than a dozen bowls. The general rushed forward with enthusiasm, staggered, and couldn't stand still anymore, so he had to sit down on his buttocks, knowing that he was drunk.

When Wang Zheng gained power, he took the initiative to walk to the table without threatening to force him. He just poured the wine repeatedly, raised the bowl, drank it all, and then looked at the general without saying a word.

The military general had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue to accompany him to the end. In this way, the two drank ten bowls of spirits in one go. , was actually not drunk.

"Wouldn't it be a pity not to drink such fine wine?"

The aroma of wine was overflowing between the cases, Wang Zheng looked around, raised his eyebrows, and after pouring himself three bowls, he said: "My lords, who would like to drink with me?"

At this time, everyone in the hall was already in awe. Seeing that Wang Zheng had already drank forty or fifty bowls with a calm expression, no one dared to answer.

Yuan Shu was also stunned, and said: "This Zhao Xun was born in the army before joining the army, but you are really a huge number of imperial bandits who were born in Langya wine making!"

Wang Zheng suddenly came to a sudden realization, it seemed that the general named Zhao Xun decided to get himself drunk, and it was not Yuan Shu's instigation.

That being the case, he couldn't be more aggressive, so he returned to his seat, sat down cross-legged, suddenly smelled the fragrant wind, and immediately felt a heat on his thighs, looked sideways, and saw a woman wrapped in a light veil approaching her .

That beautiful servant girl has graceful curves, when she saw Wang Zheng looking at her, she smiled brightly:
"Slave pours wine for the general." As soon as he leaned over to scoop up the wine, his plump breasts were exposed, Wang Zheng's heart felt hot, and he quickly looked away.

At this time, Yang Hong, who was opposite, came over with a wine cup, and said with a smile: "What? The governor has been in Xuzhou for a long time, and he has tasted enough of Xuzhou's beauty. Are the flowers and plants in my Yangzhou difficult to see?"

"Sir, don't make jokes." To Yuan Shu's chief counselor, Wang Zheng couldn't be negligent, so he got up and said with a smile, "It's just that I drank too much just now, so I can't help being a little drunk."

"Could it be that the governor looks down on me?" Yang Hong pretended to be arrogant: "Just now he drank a lot, but now Hong comes to respect the emperor, but he wants to pretend to be drunk?"

Wang Zheng was speechless, so he had to continue to drink with him, and then all the people in the hall lined up and came up to toast one by one.

On the contrary, Wang Zheng was at a loss for parrying. If he was provocative like Zhao Xun before, he would not refuse anyone who came, and he would pour his opponent down. Etiquette, drinking a cup of chatter for a long time, can not help but make him bored.

In desperation, when Ji Ling also came to toast, Wang Zheng squinted his eyes slightly, reached out to touch the wine glass on the table, pretending to accidentally knock over the dishes.

The serving maid hurriedly reached for the wine glass and put it in his hands. Wang Zheng showed his acting skills, showing a drunken face, and casually put his arms around her shoulders, as if he could only stand firm in this way.

"General Ji, Zhou Mu said that the government is very polite." He squinted at Ji Ling and said with a smile, "I think you are too polite!"

"Come on, do it!"

He took a sip, drank half of it, shook his hand, and spilled half.His seat is adjacent to Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu has been paying attention to him, and at this moment he said in surprise, "Is Yu Kou drunk?"

"Zheng is not drunk." Wang Zheng continued to perform, cupped his hands and wanted to bow to Yuan Shu, shook his head twice, his eyes were dazzled, and finally couldn't stand up. After finishing the case, he heard the continuous crackling sound, which immediately attracted everyone's attention, and they all looked over.

"The governor Wang is drunk."

"Even if you're drunk, it's already quite massive."

Amidst the discussion, there was a delicate voice: "This kid was so rampant before, I thought he was so capable."

"It turns out that's all there is to it."

Immediately, there was a burst of laughter like silver bells.

Where is the mother-in-law?
Hearing the faint hostility in the other party's words, Wang Zheng was a little annoyed, but since he was pretending to be drunk at the moment, he couldn't look directly at him, so he just quietly opened his eyelids, revealing a gap, and followed the prestige.

In a trance, I saw a group of figures, all dressed in pink, with blurred facial features, only a little bit of crimson lips, delicate and charming, as moving as a lotus.
