There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

The pottery merchant raised an empty hand in front of Han Hao, then shook it suddenly, and said with a smile: "What we have to do now is not to take the initiative to find them, but to wait for them to come! Now the initiative has been reversed." In our hands, Han Zheng, you have to understand that since the properties of the famous families were looted by the Baibo army last night, there is no longer any talk about the official army asking the famous families to help suppress the thieves, but only the saying that the famous families asked the official army to send troops to suppress the thieves !"

Han Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "Is there any difference?"

"Of course it's different. Since they are the ones begging us, they must give us a corresponding reward. Don't you understand?"

Han Hao felt faint after hearing this.

"Young Master Tao! It's not easy for the famous family to support us to send troops. Eldest Young Master still wants to negotiate terms with them?"

The pottery merchant looked at Han Hao incomprehensibly: "Is it okay for Han to be a bit promising? This time we are going to hunt for thieves for them. I have never heard of the principle that we don't get paid for our work."

"But..." Han Hao raised his hand to wipe his sweat, "but those prominent Hanoi families are used to being domineering. It's not easy for them to back down. Why can't we take this opportunity to communicate and discuss with them?"

The pottery merchant said indifferently: "I am a pottery merchant who will never kneel down and ask for money. If I want to take the money, I will stand upright to get it. The people who kneel down should be from the famous family."

Han Hao became a little anxious: "But if you insist on going your own way and make them anxious, what should you do if you can't make it up and talk about it? It will be counterproductive!"

"The talk is broken?" The pottery smiled and blinked at Han Hao, then pointed to the Baibo Army uniform on the ground, and said, "It's easy to say! Then continue to change clothes at night to snatch them, and then talk to them in the daytime the next day." If it doesn’t work, then grab it again, and talk about it until their petty temper is corrected.”

Han Hao was dumbfounded when he heard the words, this Mr. Tao's outlook on life is so weird.

"Do you still dare to grab it again?"

The pottery merchant nodded, and said leisurely: "Of course, Han Zong, although it is imperative to send troops to attack the Baibo army this time, the four prominent families must pay the price for their arrogance last time. Bleeding and apologizing, otherwise there is no discussion."

Han Hao sighed and shook his head helplessly.

"Son, you are crazy"

Next, there is the silent waiting time for all parties. The potter is not in a hurry. Anyway, he is not the one who suffers the loss.

During this period, Bao Xin sent people to ask the pottery twice what should they do?They were all pushed back by Taoshang with some trivial reasons, but he just told Bao Xin's messenger to send the message back to him: "Just be safe and don't be impatient."

At first, the noble families in Hanoi were waiting for Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi, Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, pottery merchants, sons of Xuzhou, and others to send people here to visit and bring up the old incident of the crusade against the Baibo army. Under the premise of not losing face, he put on a show and reluctantly approved the proposal to send troops to the Baibo army.Then, in the proposal for the crusade against the white bandits, some county policies that are beneficial to the four major families were added as bargaining chips.

Several prominent families made up their minds, and according to their thinking, the next step was to wait quietly for Bao Xin and the pottery merchant to come to their door.

But I never thought, three days passed in a blink of an eye, and Bao Xin and the Tao merchant didn't even have a fart.

All of a sudden, the noble families in Hanoi couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

Why is there no movement all of a sudden?Could it be that the people on our side refused so hard that day, suppressing the enthusiasm of the potters, Bao Xin and others too low?

They don't have to be in a hurry, but the problem is that the noble families in Hanoi are a little bit uncertain.

Chapter 1 Eleven The Gentlemen Clinging to Each Other

While the four prominent families were waiting for Bao Xin and the potters to come to their door, Pingzheng, the head of the Ping family, got another shocking news.

Three days ago, the area around Huai County was ransacked by the Baibo army. I thought that the Baibo army bandits would stop harassing them in the short term, but who knows that this morning, the Ping family slave brought back the rumors that it was from Huai County. In the countryside in the east, some people vaguely saw the signs of Baibo bandits' secret activities.

This incident shocked Pingzheng to a great extent!Three days ago, the Baibo army came to plunder, and the Ping family's property around Huai County had already suffered huge losses. Now these bandits have gone and come back?What do these bastards want to do?They are born under the care of vicious dogs!

At this juncture, the prominent families in Hanoi can no longer rely on the officers and soldiers.

It's really unreliable, the family's property in Hanoi really can't stand the baptism of Baibo thief's visit.

But it would be too embarrassing to invite Wang Kuang, Bao Xin and others to send troops so actively. What is the glory of such a gentry?

So the head of the Ping family met with the Zheng family of Ji County, the Sima family of Wen County, and the Li family of Yewang County to discuss. Finally, the four prominent families in Hanoi discussed a tactful solution.

Li Shao from Yewang County held a banquet in his mansion in Huai County, and invited Situ Wangyun, Yushi Zhongcheng Huangfusong, Dasinong Zhouzhong, Wei Wei Zhang Xi, Hanoi Prefect Wang Kuang, Jibei Minister Bao Xin, and Xuzhou Prince Tao Shang and others were the head of the official family, and also called the other three family heads to celebrate his [-]th birthday.

In fact, Hanoi has just been ransacked by the Baibo army. It is really inappropriate to hold a birthday banquet at this time. After all, it is a problem for ordinary believers to eat in disasters. As the head of the clan, why does Li Shao hold a birthday banquet here?Could it be that he feels that he has a long life and wants to reduce his life by two years?

The noble families in Hanoi should really criticize themselves and restrain themselves appropriately.

However, for the potters, no matter what the purpose of the Hanoi noble family is, their own purpose can be considered to have achieved the noble family's bow to their side and seized the opportunity to negotiate.

On the day of the birthday banquet, the pottery merchant led Xu Chu and a team of Tiger Guards to Li's residence in Huai County to pay homage to Li Shao's birthday.

Li's house is located on a high hillside in Huai County, next to his own private forest, and on the forest slope stands a secluded and secluded mansion.The house is not big, but it has a unique and elegant atmosphere everywhere, reflecting the demeanor of a century-old family, which is far from what those nouveau riche who have only been awesome for 30 or [-] years can emulate.

Before arriving at Li's mansion, there were servants waiting at the door. The potter and Xu Chu both got off their horses. The servants respectfully led the potter and others to the mansion. They walked through a quiet tree-lined road from the house to the courtyard. Outside a hall facing the water.

Far away, I heard the melodious sound of the piano coming from the hall beside the water.

Ever since he came back from time travel, what Tao Shang had heard was the fighting on the battlefield and the sound of golden swords and war horses. Now, after listening to the soothing song, Tao Shang suddenly felt refreshed and refreshed.

It's really good. Although I don't understand it, it's still very nice to say.

Walking outside the hall and taking a look in, the potter couldn't help being surprised: "She can also play music?"

Except for the potter, all the other guests have arrived.

Diao Chan played the piano in the hall.

After arriving in Hanoi County, Wang Kuang arranged for Wang Yun and Huangfusong to live in the prefect's mansion to show his sincerity and respect for the court officials.

Now that there is a place to stay in the city, the potters will naturally not let Diao Chan and Xiao Yinger continue to live in the barracks, but let them stay in the city with Wang Yun and others. Today Li Shao's birthday invited Wang Yun and Huangfu Song and Diao Chan, who is Wang Yun's righteous daughter, also accompanied him at the table.

Diao Chan's wide gown and tight skirt, kneeling on the soft cushion in the hall, on the table in front of him was the Guqin that he brought out from Luoyang City, and his slender fingers were gently plucking the strings, next to the Guqin There is a small earthenware stove, emitting refreshing cigarettes faintly.

The old men sitting on both sides, all arty, shook their heads after listening to the song, their faces could not help showing intoxication, as if they were completely immersed in the wonderful sound of the piano, but the potter had already seen it outside the hall. Come out, many of them are just pretending.

Others don't talk about it, just talk about the old man Pingzheng, his hands are beating to the ancient tune, shaking his head, and the pottery merchant clearly sees that the old man is almost killed in seconds after taking eight beats, and he is not on the tune.

People in their 60s are still playing arty.

After the lingering sound of the song lingered, everyone in the hall applauded vigorously.

While clapping his hands, Wang Kuang exclaimed in admiration: "What a long palace goose! Wang Situ's daughter is indeed a master of temperament. The only piano music that the young lady can play is probably only Cai Zhonglang in the world. Wang is lucky. , I can’t bear to wash my ears for the next three years.”

Diao Chan stood up, retreated gracefully from the arena to the banquet, and smiled slightly on her forehead: "Young lady only has a rough grasp of rhythm, how dare you compare with Cai Zhonglang, the lord of the palace praises you very much."

Li Shao, the head of the Li family, stood up, smiled at Wang Yun, and said, "It's my blessing to be given a song by Wang Situ's beloved daughter on my birthday today!"

Wang Yun stroked the beard on his chin, his face was glowing red, obviously his vanity was greatly satisfied.

Pingzheng stood up, cupped his hands at Wang Yun and said with a smile: "Today is Brother Li's [-]th birthday. It is really a coincidence that Lord Situ, Lord Zhongcheng, Da Sinong, Wei Wei and other ministers of Luoyang are here by chance. Brother Li is a blessing to the family."

Li Shao nodded vigorously and said, "Exactly, exactly."

Pingzheng continued to turn his head and said to Wang Yun: "Master Situ was born in the Wang family of Taiyuan, Bingzhou. Tracing back to the origin, the ancestor was the Ji surname, and my Pingyi Ping family originated from Han Aihou in Korea, and also derived from the Ji surname. Come on, Wang Situ and this old man were of the same clan thousands of years ago."

Wang Yun smiled slightly when he heard the words: "There is nothing wrong with Ping Gong's words."

The potter didn't go in, and the relatives who were more than 1000 years ago had to be recognized outside the hall, and the old man Ping was gone.
