Chapter 2057: Prepare to plot against you
Jiang Wangang said: "Shizi Shen is too proud of my general. The Marquis is my top, and his soldiers are naturally better than mine. This lantern of peace and prosperity for the country and the people must be won by the Marquis."
Jiang Wanzang was very happy today. When he was just having dinner, the Marquis personally announced that he wanted to marry his sister Rong as his eldest daughter-in-law. The generals, adults and nobles present congratulated him, making him feel proud!
To be honest, he only has one daughter, so he naturally hopes that his daughter's marriage can be done openly and openly, and not just the two families know about it. This kind of secretive engagement is too unhappy.
And when he was happy, he naturally had to help the Marquis, even if he belittled himself, it was okay.
The eldest son of the Shen family smiled: "General Jiang, what you said is very modest. You are a first-class general personally appointed by His Majesty. The number of troops in charge is only second to that of Lord Xu. General Jiang has great military exploits and has elite soldiers and generals under his command." There are countless, and its hard to say who will end up with this lantern of Guotai Minan.
"The general is still conscientious and dedicated. He has been leading troops to guard Du Chong Valley, eating and lodging with the soldiers, lying beside Du Chong Valley and watching the bandits..." After saying this, the eldest son of the Shen family stood up, saluted to General Jiang, and said : "General Jiang is not afraid of poisonous insects, endures wind and snow, and eats chaff pickled vegetables. He led his troops to guard Poisonous Insect Valley and protect our peace. He is indeed a man of great merit and righteousness. I admire you very much. Please accept my worship!"
Fuck, what is this guy named Shen doing? have you had enough? Isn't he afraid of death?
Xu You was furious. Fortunately, the bottle he was holding was a bronze wine bottle. If it had been any other ceramic cup, it would have been shattered by the force of his palm.
Jiang Wanzang frowned: "Shizi Shen's words are serious. This is the general's duty, and it cannot be regarded as a great achievement."
Hehe, the uncle of the Shen family sneered in his heart and looked down upon Jiang Wankang. Do you really like to be Xu You's dog slave so much? You are obviously a general conferred by the emperor, and your status is not low. You can be on an equal footing with Xu You.
Even if you don't go against Xu You and you still treat him like a dog, I really don't know what's wrong with your mind?
The uncle of the Shen family scolded Jiang Wangang severely in his heart.
Manager Shen was afraid that the eldest son of the Shen family would kill him, so he quickly reminded with a smile: "Sir, it's getting late, so let's invite the soldiers from both sides to compete."
Uncle Shen nodded, opened a small box in Manager Shen's hand, took out a plate-sized chime and a small hammer, came to Xu You's seat, handed the things to Xu You, and said with a smile: "Master Hou , this is the bell left by the founding princess, it was given by Emperor Jingwu, please ring the bell to start the ceremony."
Zhongqing is an instrument similar to chimes. It has been popular since the Zhou Dynasty. It was once one of the must-have musical instruments in the homes of nobles in the capital. It was not until Emperor Jingwu became popular that the bell gradually disappeared.
Even if Xu You was angry again, he did not dare not to pick up the things left by Emperor Jingwu. He stood up and took the bell, but he did not ring it immediately. Instead, he said to General Cheng who had been silent for the whole time: "General Zhenxi, you He is also a hero of the war, and it is a rare opportunity to come to the Daokougou camp, so that your soldiers can also compete in the battle to compete for the peace and prosperity of the country, how about it?"
General Cheng didnt even want to come to the table, but his rank was lower than that of Xu You. There were some things on the defense line that he had to cooperate with Xu You and General Jiang. After thinking about it, he nodded and said, Its natural to send someone for such a happy event. Participate and cause a scene.
He ordered ten people and asked them to enter the arena to compete to win the lanterns.
Xu You was happy. After the three parties were ready, he rang the bell with a small hammer.
Ding ding ding!
The crisp and sweet sound of the chime sounded out. After nine beats, Xu You said: "The one who captures the fish paste wax on the flagpole is the winner. Come in and let the competition begin!"
With an order, the soldiers from the three parties rushed into the field and started fighting each other with their bare hands. Xu You's soldiers were obviously letting go.
Jiang Wankang watched for a while, saw Xu You's intention, and gave a signal to his soldiers. After the soldiers saw the signal, they slowly began to react, and specifically caught Xu You's soldiers to fight.
The final result was that both Jiang Wankang and Xu You's soldiers were injured, and General Cheng's soldiers picked up the fish paste and won.
"General Zhenxi's army has won!" Xu Liang announced loudly, congratulating General Cheng: "Congratulations to General Zhenxi for winning the Guotai Min'an Deng. Your soldiers are indeed brave."
You brave ass, do you think we are dead people? How can you not see such obvious betrayal?
The uncle of the Shen family looked ugly, but what could he say? Is it to say that your competition is too weak? It doesnt count and you have to compete again?
General Cheng was most annoyed by intrigues and did not want to waste time with them, so he nodded and acknowledged the result: "Let's accept." He then said to the Shen family's uncle: "Prince Shen, I have something I want to discuss with you. I don't know. Can you agree?"
Uncle Shen didn't have any objections to General Cheng. After hearing this, he said, "General Zhenxi, please tell me."
General Cheng said: "The Guotai Min'an lantern was left to the descendants of the Shen family by the founding princess. It is of great significance. We can't take it away. Can we exchange this lottery prize for ten thousand taels of silver and give it to the soldiers... This silver can help There are quite a few of them, enough to save ten families, allowing them to sit back and relax and concentrate on fighting the war."
General Chengs words were touching. Uncle Shen agreed: General Zhenxi sincerely considers the soldiers. I admire you and am willing to comply.
He also said: "I don't have that many banknotes with me. After the banquet is over, can General Zhenxi go back with me to get them?"
This was a bit stupid to say, and General Cheng did not agree: "There is no rush. Prince Shen can find a time and send someone to deliver it to us."
He picked up the wine glass again and said to Xu You and Jiang Wankang, "Thank you so much, Mr. Marquis, for the concession, and thank you so much, General, for the concession."
Obviously he doesnt want to get involved in the affairs of the Shen, Xu and Jiang families.
Prince Shen was a little angry, but this matter really put him in a difficult situation for the general, so he could only ask Manager Shen to go back and get the banknotes.
Steward Shen quickly brought the banknote before the banquet was over, and Crown Prince Shen personally took it to General Cheng.
After General Cheng accepted it, he didn't stay long. He said goodbye to Xu You and Jiang Wankang, and took the people away overnight.
Xu You was very satisfied and decided not to be embarrassed and became a general for the time being.
As for the Shen family uncle, Xu You has already thought of how to use him.
Xu You said to Jiang Wankang: "I'm afraid that Prince Shen's bad temper has not gone away. I'll see him off and ask him again, how can I get rid of his anger?"
Jiang Wanzang felt that Xu You was not easy, so he nodded and said: "Master Marquis, go ahead. No need to send me off. I will start back to Duchonggou right now. During the Lantern Festival tonight, the thieves may make a surprise attack in the middle of the night."
Xu You said: "...Old Jiang, I have wronged you."
Jiang Wanzang said with a smile: "It's not that you are wronged, but you are really wronged because the Marquis has to deal with such villains."
Hehe, you really think about Xu You. Did you know that he is planning to plot against you again?
Xu You smiled bitterly and sighed: "This is nothing, after all, he is a relative of the emperor."
Hearing these words, Jiang Wankang became angry...the **** royal relatives are just a bunch of **** who eat nothing but their corpses. When they become adults, they must make these royal relatives spit out all the money they have eaten!
Old Jiang, dont be excited. Xu You patted Jiang Wangang on the shoulder and arranged for someone to send him out. He finally left the tent and went to see Uncle Shen off in person.
