At the banquet,
Peng Tao was already sitting in the main seat. He was drinking wine while waiting for Chen Jue to arrive.
Wei Yun was standing behind him. His expression was calm,
He looked very calm.
"Hong Ying won't kill him directly,
So that he won't be able to come, right? "Peng Tao snorted,
But the smile on his face disappeared.
Wei Yun glanced at Peng Tao from the right rear and opened his mouth,
But he held it in and took a deep breath before saying, "Hong Ying knows what to do. He won't kill him."
Wei Yun still didn't agree to directly attack Chen Jue,
Even if the goal was to scare Chen Jue away,
To get Chen Jue out of the northeast camp.
From the beginning to the end, Daoist Microcloud didn't think that Jue Chen was someone who would be scared off.
Instead, he was very worried that Peng Tao would think that he was right and cause trouble,
After injuring Chen Jue..,
He was afraid that it would backfire,
It would arouse people's anger.
"Later, we can let Hong Ying kill two of Chen Jue's personal guards." Peng Tao thought for a moment and scanned the audience,
In his heart, he was fantasizing that Chen Jue would find that the guards around him were like the hundred elite soldiers, starting to die one by one,
What kind of expression would he have.
He couldn't help it..,
A smile appeared on Peng Tao's face.
"Hong Ying used it once,
It was on Chen Jue again, and he had to leave Chen Jue alive... I'm afraid he won't be able to use it again next time. "Once Hong Ying's ability was exposed, he would probably be on guard.
The honey trap could be used many times. I'm afraid you have to pray that the enemy's soldiers have extremely low IQ and lust, one is extremely low, the other is extremely high.
However, Wei Yun Laodao always felt that praying for others to be stupid was a stupid thing to do.
While the two of them were chatting, a soldier suddenly walked towards Peng Tao.
He walked around Wei Yun Laodao, leaned over to Peng Tao's ear, and whispered.
Soon, Peng Tao's face turned pale, and the complacency and joy he had just now disappeared.
Wei Yun Laodao stood behind Peng Tao and heard the soldier's words intermittently. Hong Ying was dead and his body was sent to Peng Tao's tent.
He frowned and his expression became serious.
Peng Tao suddenly stood up, and all the soldiers and generals around him looked at him.
Wei Yun knew that something was wrong. She quickly reached out and pressed Peng Tao's shoulder.
After a few breaths, Peng Tao calmed down under Wei Yun's comforting and sat down again.
At this time, Chen Jue strode over and swaggered from the front.
Peng Tao stared at Chen Jue, but he saw that Chen Jue was wearing a light-colored long gown. He walked with a smile on his face and looked at him with shining eyes, as if he was showing off something.
Peng Tao's fingers trembled again, but this time, Wei Yun didn't have to do anything. He took a deep breath and endured it.
Chen Jue strode in front of Peng Tao and said with a smile, "I like the gift General Peng gave me. I also gave General a gift. I wonder if General received it?"
Peng Tao felt that he might not be able to endure it any longer. He ground his teeth, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Chen Jue didn't shrink back. After sitting next to Peng Tao, he still maintained a smile on his face. He didn't even deliberately pull away from Peng Tao.
Peng Tao calculated that if he reached out to kill Chen Jue, it would take a few breaths, but he still endured it.
"Of course I like it … Later, I will also give Lord Chen something good." Peng Tao's voice was very low, and his tone was filled with hatred.
Chen Jue smiled faintly and didn't say anything else.
Rather than teasing Peng Tao, it was better to listen to Zhang Tang drop a book bag.
As the host, Peng Tao drank a cup of wine and the banquet began.
The generals in the Northeast Camp were all rough people. They were ordered around to eat and drink, and each one was more lively than the other.
Chen Jue sat in the main seat and looked at the lively scene below. He sighed in his heart — there were so many elite soldiers in the Northeast Camp!
Just as he was pondering, Peng Tao beside him became restless. "Lord Chen, come, let me give you a toast.
It wasn't easy for you to come all the way here to give me food. "
As he spoke, he lifted the wine pot beside him. Before Chen Jue could react, he poured a cup of wine for Chen Jue.
"Come." Peng Tao very politely gestured for Chen Jue to raise his cup.
Chen Jue looked at the wine cup, and then at Peng Tao's wine pot.
Peng Tao slightly narrowed his eyes with a hint of viciousness, but the corners of his mouth were raised. Although he was smiling, it made people feel uncomfortable as if they were being stared at by a poisonous snake.
Chen Jue picked up the wine pot and exchanged glances with Peng Tao.
Peng Tao raised his cup and gestured: You should drink.
Chen Jue put the wine cup to his lips, but just as Peng Tao thought he was going to drink, Chen Jue stopped.
Peng Tao held the wine cup in his hand and raised his eyebrows at Chen Jue: Why aren't you drinking?
You don't dare?
Chen Jue's eyes turned and smiled. "I'll drink your cup."
Peng Tao laughed and happily exchanged cups with Chen Jue.
The two of them held the wine glasses in their hands and exchanged glances.
Peng Tao raised his cup and gestured for Chen Jue to drink.
Chen Jue smiled faintly and raised the wine cup to his lips again.
Peng Tao also brought the wine glass to his lips.
"You drink first." Chen Jue smiled faintly again.
"Is Lord Chen worried about me?" Peng Tao pursed his lips.
Chen Jue nodded honestly.
Peng Tao snorted coldly. He raised his wrist and opened his mouth, then poured the entire cup of wine into his mouth. Before he could even close his mouth, he had already swallowed the wine with a gulp.
Chen Jue smiled faintly and drank the wine in his hand before Peng Tao put down his cup.
Then, while wiping his mouth, he spat out all the wine into his sleeve and pretended to cough a few times as if his throat was burning.
Peng Tao had already poured a second cup for Chen Jue.
The two of them declined and hesitated again. This time, Chen Jue and Peng Tao raised their cups at the same time and raised their heads to drink. When Peng Tao raised his head to drink, he splashed the wine behind him — all over Wang Yi.
"… …" Wang Yi.
He still had to pretend that nothing had happened and stand still.
Peng Tao saw that Chen Jue had drunk two cups of wine and smiled faintly and wanted to continue drinking.
At this time, Chen Jue raised his right hand and smiled. "What a coincidence, I also brought some wine for you."
Then, he raised his left hand.
Wang Chao, who was standing at the side, immediately stepped forward and put a pot of wine on the table behind him in front of Chen Jue.
Chen Jue took the wine pot and smiled at Peng Tao. "Come, I will pour the wine for the general."
"Hualala … …" Chen Jue pressed his fingers on the handle of the wine pot and wiped the handle with his thumb from time to time.
The wine was poured into the cup, making people thirsty just by listening to it.
Peng Tao stared at Chen Jue's hand for a while, then at the wine pot for a while, and finally at the wine cup in his hand … …
"… …" Peng Tao.
… … …
When the banquet reached its climax, it was time for everyone to drink. They sang loudly, raised their cups, and played rock-paper-scissors.
Peng Tao even found the girls in the nearby guard station to dance and comfort the general.
When the wine was drunk, Peng Tao turned to Chen Jue and said, "How are you getting used to living in the barracks recently?
How long does Lord Chen plan to stay? "
"Not too long, but I'm afraid it won't be too short either." Chen Jue took a sip of the wine he brought and didn't look at Peng Tao.
"The Northeast Barracks are full of barbarian soldiers. Sometimes, it's hard to guarantee that something will go wrong. After autumn, it's the time for the barbarians to fight for food. I'm afraid I won't have the time to care about your life or death. If something goes wrong at that time … …" Peng Tao snorted coldly.
"If the general doesn't care about me, then everything will be fine." Chen Jue looked at the soldiers drinking in front of him and his expression was slightly gloomy.
As long as the loyal soldiers around Peng Tao were killed one by one before the barbarians rushed in to fight for food and supplies and waited for the emperor's imperial edict, then everything would be fine.
What he was most afraid of was that Peng Tao was still strong and had to use the Western Garrison Army in the end. After all, killing each other wasn't a good thing for the country.
At that time … … the danger would be infinitely magnified.
He took a deep breath. This was the most annoying conflict for him, but he had to supervise and deal with it.
But how many loyal soldiers did Peng Tao have around him?
How far did he have to go before he would reveal all of his trump cards without causing him to rebel and raise his troops?
Peng Tao took a sip of wine and suddenly saw Li Xiao sitting next to Zhang Tang and the others.
He narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that Lord Chen would bring a girl with him to supervise the delivery of food."
Chen Jue turned his head and looked at Li Xiao. The little girl was wearing the hat he gave her, so he couldn't see her face clearly. However, her neck was long, her shoulders were flat, and her waist was slender. Every movement she made was delicate.
Peng Tao's eyes also swept over Li Xiao's body. He then said with a smile, "It's a pity that she's always wearing a hat that covers her face. If she's not particularly ugly, then she's probably very beautiful.
One day, when Lord Chen is in a good mood, why don't you ask this girl to dance for us?
When she dances, half of her face will be covered by a veil. It'll be very seductive. "
Chen Jue listened to Peng Tao's words and heard the flirtatious tone in his voice. His heart burned with anger. He opened his mouth several times and wanted to retort, but he had to suppress it.
This was not easy for Chen Jue.
He pursed his lips. The best he could do was to keep his mouth shut.
Peng Tao looked at Chen Jue's expression and snorted coldly in his heart. He said again, "Or … … why don't Lord Chen ask her to come over and dance for us now?"
Chen Jue took a deep breath and resisted the urge to open his mouth.
However, before he could say anything, someone was pushed out of the crowd.
Chen Jue and Peng Tao were sitting on a high platform at the end of an empty path.
There were wine tables on both sides of the empty path. It was where the generals drank.
The empty space in the middle, where there was a dancing banshee, was now empty.
The person who was suddenly pushed out was particularly eye-catching.
Chen Jue looked in that direction and pursed his lips without saying anything.
The person was dressed in black. He was a tall and thin young man.
Because he was dressed in black, the blood on his body could not be seen clearly. However, the dagger in his chest was shining brightly.
Many people were drunk, but when they suddenly saw a person stabbed in the chest, they were half sober from the shock.
Peng Tao did not see clearly at first. It was only when Wei Yun Laodao cried out in a low voice that he woke up with a start.
He stood up abruptly and looked at the person in disbelief.
When the person was pushed out, he was still breathing. He staggered twice and fell to the ground. After twitching for a moment, he stopped moving.
There was an uproar all around. Immediately, a general with a sword squatted down to check the person's breathing. He then turned to look at Peng Tao sitting on the high platform and shook his head.
Peng Tao looked at the young general. His face was as white as paper — — that was one of the generals he was most proud of. It was also the young general that he sent to kill Chen Jue's elite soldiers one by one every night.
At night, he could move stealthily and in the dark. It was as if he had the ability to become invisible.
And at this moment, he had become a corpse … …
Peng Tao stood in front of the table. His body was trembling as he suddenly shouted, "Search!
No one is allowed to leave this place! "
Chen Jue sat in place and did not move. He sipped his wine cup and licked the wine. It was sweet and slightly spicy. It made him even more awake.
His gaze unconsciously fell on Li Xiao. He then looked at the soldiers and generals around him. He could not help but think: Should we send the little girl back to the capital?
