Chapter 841 Chapter 841: Celebration banquet? Break up party? (On) [Ask for a monthly ticket]
"Xu Wenzhu?"
Although it was an interrogative sentence, there was no surprise on Chu Yao's expression.
Seeing this, Qin Li was overwhelmed with thoughts, feeling inexplicable.
Judging from Chu Yao's usual expression, the relationship between Xu Wenzhu and Longwu County is far closer than he judged before—this is not Xu Wenzhu betting on both sides, it is clear that his balance has completely tilted towards Shen Jun , it's just that he didn't break face with Wu Gong on the surface. If Qin Li is still loyal to Wu Xian at this time, he will point at Xu Wenzhu's nose and swear at him!
But now his position has changed, Xu Jie owes him a great favor, and he only sighs at this bad debt, closes his eyes, and keeps silent.
Qin Li nodded: "Mr. Xu has a chivalrous heart."
If it was an hour ago, he probably would not have agreed to lead the crowd away from Wu Xian's forces at the celebration banquet, because he still had concerns and entanglements. Even if one of the hostages is still in Tianhai, he has to think twice. Xu Quan, Xu Wenzhu's cousin, who never thought about being soaked in blood, found him, and handed him a letter soaked in blood with both hands. Qin Li lowered his eyes and glanced over, hesitating slightly...
Xu Quan handed the things to himself again, panting and grinning, showing his white teeth: [Mr. Qin, don't be so cautious, even if my cousin comes here now, he can't recognize who I am, and there is still chaos outside, how can anyone have it? Kung fu pay attention to us? 】
Originally wanted Zhao Wei to hand it over, but now she is lying upright in the wounded barracks, and she will go crazy when she bleeds. Xu Quan went to take a look and was convinced that Zhao Wei would not die, so he came to deliver the letter himself. Speaking of this, Qin Li took the letter.
The content of the letter is very short, with only a few numbers.
But in Qin Li's eyes, every word is worth a fortune.
Xu Jie sent a letter to announce the good news that the rear family members of Qin Li's line have been moved to a safe place, and there is no longer any worries.
In other words—
Qin Li can now have a showdown with Wu Xian.
Even if Wu Xian or others disagree and try to use their family as an excuse to deliberately make things difficult, Qin Li doesn't have to be afraid of tearing his face apart. After reading and destroying the secret letter, his pale and tired face showed a smile for the first time: 【Thank you! 】
Xu Quan waved his hand: [This is what a cousin should do. 】
He is not simple-minded and well-developed.
No matter how polite and elegant my cousin is, he is still the head of the Xu family who started as a merchant in the final analysis. Calculation and power have long been as natural instincts as breathing. Merchants do business to make money, and what they hate most is losing money.
Taking risks to help Qin Li is naturally not doing charity.
The borrowed money must be returned with interest.
In the same way, the same goes for favors given out.
Cousin helping Mr. Qin is essentially investing. He is optimistic about Mr. Qin's development under the lord's account, and favors are the most difficult debt to repay. With Mr. Qin's article, and his own Wu, the Xu family will develop to a higher level in the future.
Sometimes when the two brothers pass on family letters, Xu Quan is exhausted for his cousin: 【The money our family earns is really enough. Elder brother is still so exhausted, it seems that he will not be able to eat. 】
Xu Jie responded coldly: [If you have money, you will starve to death. 】
What does this brat Xu Quan know? He has worked hard for so many years, and why did he spend a lot of money on Wu Gong?
Isn't it just to get rid of the "only money" dilemma?
Some circles really cannot be squeezed into with money.
It is also fortunate that Xu Quan is talented and talented, and he has made military achievements. He was recommended by Shen Jun to take off his white body and become the governor of Heyin County. Over the years, he has done a good job in government affairs, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Lift again.
In addition, the Xu family has been kind and charitable these years, and has been kind everywhere, adopting qualified children and focusing on training them. Finally, he has managed a good reputation and at the same time has a certain ability to protect himself and social status. Xu Jie is very pleased that Xu's children no longer suffer from the slight contempt and cold treatment when they are sent to study with famous teachers.
Xu Quan is a **** who doesn't know suffering.
If you don't bother to plan these things, Xu's money bag can still be their money bag? There is only money in this world, so you will starve to death!
Xu Quan looked at the family letter, feeling a little worried.
【Then it’s not going to plot against Mr. Qin, right? 】
Why can’t we communicate with each other sincerely?
Xu Jie knew that his cousin was only tall but not brainy: 【Who could be doing so much trouble for my brother? It's not for your unworthy brother! If you have Qin Gongsu's help, you will be able to walk steadily in the future. Who made it easy for you to climb up the ranks at such a young age? Besides, only making money is of little importance to the superiors, the Xu family doesn't want to just make money for others. 】
Wu Xian is a typical example.
Has Xu Jie paid real money all these years?
But he is not as important in Wu Xian's heart as an ordinary counselor, and Xu Jie will still be despised from time to time, so he has been bettered by being the governor of Heyin County. Shen Jun invited him to be the sheriff. Wu Xian had never considered Xu Jie before!
It's not that he is stingy, but that there are so many people in the queue—anyone's weight can be in front of Xu Jie's wallet!
Now that Xu Jie is determined to change the lintel, he cannot fall into a big pit for the second time. Money, power, and power must be in two to be safe. The military merits would be exchanged with one's life, and Xu Jie was also afraid that his cousin would be shrouded in horse leather one day, so naturally he had to think more about the way out.
Investing in Qin Li and befriending him is the best deal!
Because Qin Li is a bundled gift package, investing in him is equivalent to investing in a group of generals who follow him, including Zhao Feng, who has become popular. Minimum investment for maximum return.
Xu Jie even dared to pat his chest and say - he has made two of the most small and large investments in his life, one is Shen Jun back then, and the other is Qin Li today.
Xie was very disgusted with his cousin in the letter at home, and said bluntly: [You can manage yourself well, you should train soldiers, fight wars, survive, and leave the rest to your brother. 】
Xu Quan is not surprised by his cousin who looks like this.
It was Qin Li's goodwill and positive comments towards Xu Jie, which made him blush, groan and slump for a long time, unable to say anything nutritious. In the end, he scratched his head, used "there is still something to do in the military camp" as an excuse, and fled as fast as his buttocks were on fire...
Qin Li was a little surprised when he saw Xu Quan like this, and shook his head amusedly: [Xu Wenshi didn't learn anything about Xu Wenzhu's philistines and schemes, but this pair of brothers is interesting. 】
The tacit understanding between the old foxes often goes without saying. He naturally knows how much he owes Xu Jie, and he will have to pay it back slowly in the future. As long as it doesn't violate morality, and doesn't hurt the heavens, it's not that he helps the second Hongxing to get out of the wall...
Well, everything is negotiable.
Qin Li accepts Xu Jie's kindness, but it doesn't mean that he is used to the latter's hedging behavior.
After all, Shen Jun is not Wu Zhaode, a group of scribes headed by Chu Yao Qishan, nor Tianhai's group of idiots with high-sightedness and low-handedness... As long as Xu Jie doesn't cross the line, it's easy to say.
When Chu Yao heard Qin Li's evaluation of Xu Jie, he was slightly taken aback and said: "Wenzhu is indeed a chivalrous spirit, unconstrained by the world."
The two went to the celebration banquet together.
The post-war chaos, the so-called celebration banquet cannot ask for too much.
It's just clearing a place among the ruins, setting up a bonfire, setting up a food table, with a few plates of food that are rare in wartime, and the purest wine from the lord. The altar, no one can make a mistake.
The celebration banquet was simple but not simple. Chu Yao also told the logistics not to be stingy, to give every soldier extra meals, and the wounded barracks were also replaced with the best meals. However, in order to prevent the remnants of the enemy from killing the carbine, patrols and guards were also strengthened. When the two arrived, the celebration banquet was almost ready, except for those who couldn't move, everyone came.
The voices of the generals are getting louder.
The celebration banquet has not yet started, and the noise is already full.
"Gong Su is here?"
Zhao Feng's left arm was hanging around his neck, one of his two legs was broken, and he was wrapped in a heavy bandage. There were dense wounds on his front and back, and the longest one almost pulled out his internal organs. The injury is serious, and the only fortunate thing is that he has all four limbs and can brag.
Hands and feet hurt, but his mouth didn't.
When you meet someone who makes sense, you can brag without blinking.
Qin Li sighed and said, "It's hard to save your life, so why can't you stay with Dawei in the wounded barracks? Still running away?"
The two jars of wine on the table were all drunk.
"It's just an injury but not a disability, so why can't you run?"
Of course, the biggest reason why Zhao Feng didn't want to stay in the wounded barracks was because he wanted to escape from his daughter—he had never realized for a moment like now that his family's big warm cotton jacket had evolved into a ruthless ice lump—Zhao Feng was scolded so much by her. don't start.
Zhao Feng pointed to the seat beside him.
smiled and said: "Come, come, I have reserved a seat for you."
It’s wonderful to be able to sit down and eat and drink alive after fighting the war!
Qin Li heard that he was seated, but did not go to his seat.
Zhao Feng leaned over and helped him open the lid of the soup pot. The fragrance of jade and wheat came with the hot air: "I told them that you don't like eating jade and wheat. All the seeds were cut off."
How long will it take for Qin Li to eat one by one?
Qin Li angrily put the lid back on.
"Shen Jun and Wu Gong are still in the future, don't be rude."
His voice is not too loud, but because of the seating position, many civil and military people from Tianhai can hear it. Unresponsive and unfeeling, keenly frowned—Wu Gong is not a wrong name, but it sounds closer than the lord.
Qin Li values etiquette and will not make such a mistake.
and-
Is the order of titles wrong?
Several vague and seemingly absent gazes came to him one after another, Qin Li didn't seem to know it, and had no choice but to deal with the harassment of several gluttonous drunkards.
Jiu Mengzi drank his own share and tried his share.
There were many but not many people attending the celebration banquet.
Compared with the size of the banquet that the two alliances formed before, the staff has been reduced by 30%, and Wu Xian's side has suffered the most. Among the few people, some of them entered the wounded barracks and were too seriously injured to recover, and the rest might not even be able to make up a whole body.
Everyone had different expressions, some were happy and some were lonely, but these emotions were temporarily suppressed with Wu Xian's presence.
Because of the injury that bled a lot, Wu Xian's complexion didn't look very good, but judging from his steps and demeanor, his injury shouldn't be serious. A group of staff members stood up and saluted one after another, including Qin Li, Zhao Feng and others, and Shen Tang also saluted politely.
"Meet the lord/Wu Gong."
The smile on the corner of Wu Xian's mouth was slightly stiff.
His eyes fell on Qin Li in astonishment, hesitantly, he wanted to confirm that he had heard wrong but it was not easy to ask before asking, but Qin Li was very calm.
After the ceremony, he sat down when he heard Wu Xian's response.
There is no pause at all, and there is no lifting of the eyes.
The person with a keen sense of smell noticed something strange, and his veiled watching eyes switched back and forth between the two of them, until Shen Tang came over to break the weird atmosphere: "I got stuck on something, I didn't let brother Zhaode and all the great heroes stay together for a long time. wait?"
Smiley ridicule injects vitality into the air.
A group of fiery red meteors striding forward.
Everyone stood up and saluted: "I have seen the Lord/Shen Jun."
Shen Tang waved his hand: "You guys have injuries all over your body, so don't bother with these vain rituals, brother Zhaode, sit down!"
She specially put on a brand new, bright red dress for women today, which made her skin whiter and snowier, making her the most eye-catching girl in the crowd wherever she went. At first glance this outfit—
Those who didn’t know thought it was a newcomer who had escaped.
Gu Chi leaned over and teased Chu Yao.
"My lord's body is really bright and moving!"
It fits today's atmosphere very well.
My lord wants to welcome newcomers.
Not surprised, in exchange for Chu Yao's displeased eyes warning. Seeing that he was bored, Gu Chi turned to the other side and muttered to Jiang Sheng: "Come on first, use your scholarly way to take a look. My lord, is the red luan star moving today, and people are in good spirits on happy occasions?"
Jiang Sheng glanced at Kang Shi: "I can't see it."
It's so dark that I really can't see what the protagonist is wearing.
Following the lord for so many years, this time is the darkest, and I can't get away in ten days and a half months. Kang Jishou made a cruel move!
Gu Chi: "...forgot."
Others are also surprised by the princess/Shen Jun's outfit.
You must know that although Shen Tang looks handsome and has a standard thick face, her daily clothes are very simple, and the colors are mostly plain and clean, which makes this beautiful face in vain. With this eye-catching red dress today, the contrast between the front and back and the visual impact it brings are naturally particularly strong. Shen Tang is really in a good mood today, he doesn't mind Gu Chi's teasing at all, and even bared his teeth happily.
Hey Hey-
His eyes fell on Qin Li from time to time.
Qin Li had a keen sense, and was stared at like a pins and needles.
Zhao Feng was rather dull, with a puzzled look on his face: "Gong Su, are you hot now? Why are your cheeks so red?"
Following, I don't know what to imagine, as if I am facing a big enemy.
You must know that under normal circumstances, literary scholars with a literary spirit are nourished, and they have no concept of winter and summer at all. It is fine to wear only one suit throughout the year. As powerful as Qin Li, he is naturally a leader in various fields, but at this moment he is sweating due to the influence of the outside temperature... This is not good news for a literary scholar who is still in his prime. Zhao Feng was worried about Qin Li's physical problems.
He opened his mouth in anxiety, but stopped talking.
"Gong Su... are you healthy?"
Now is not the time to hold on.
Qin Li coughed lightly, pretending to be indifferent: "It's nothing."
"Are you okay? Your ears are red, and your collar is still wet with sweat..." Zhao Feng seemed to have discovered a new world. This appearance is almost impossible for Qin Li, who pays attention to etiquette and is obsessed with cleanliness. Although he has tried his best to lower his voice, who is not a Wenxin scribe/Wu Daring warrior, is there any difference between this voice and the ear?

Sister Tang is very embarrassing today.
