There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

For things that are not used to it, stir it up when it is time to stir it up. This can not only play a catalytic role in the development of ancient human society, but also make yourself physically and mentally happy. Why not do it?

On the eve of the banquet, although there were some minor unhappiness, under the persuasion of Huangfusong, Wang Kuang and others, everyone still kept their faces on.

After all, this relative's family is just a temporary idea, and the focus of the famous family's solution today is not here.

After everyone sat down, they saw Li Shao raised his hand and clapped lightly, and more than [-] maids dressed in colorful neon clothes streamed in endlessly, delivering the dishes that had been prepared.

Seeing that all these waitresses who deliver food are all beautiful and refined, but they can only play the role of waiters in these gentry's mansions, the potter can't help but sigh secretly.

The decadent and depraved feudal life has been fully realized in these aristocratic families!

It's so nourishing to live.

Li Shao raised the wine cup and smiled at the guests in the hall: "This old man's [-]th birthday today, I am overjoyed to be here with all the sages, and I prepare a little wine to congratulate myself. If the hospitality is not good, I hope everyone Don't blame the public."

Everyone raised the wine cups in their hands, respected and signaled each other, then covered their faces with their sleeves, and drank it all in one gulp.

When Li Shao put down his wine cup, he saw Ping Zheng winking at him out of the corner of his eye.

Li Shao comprehended, ordered someone to pour the wine, then held it up, and signaled to Bao Xin from a distance: "General Bao, this wine is the old man's apology to you."

Bao Xin was taken aback, and looked at Li Shao in astonishment.

With Bao Xin's political literacy, even though he guessed that the Hanoi noble family was using Li Shao's birthday to rediscuss the Baibo army today, he never expected that the patriarch of the wild king Li would bow his head to apologize to him so directly.

We must know that Li Shao used to be the governor of Jizhou in the past, and his official authority and ostentation in the past were probably a bit more domineering than Bao Xin's now.

He stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling face, no matter how pretending Bao Xin could be, at this moment he kept pushing and avoiding.

The pottery merchant squinted at the pretentious Li Shao, amused in his heart.

When my side and others first arrived in Hanoi, these people put on airs and were arrogant and arrogant. Now that their respective families are in trouble, they just lower their eyebrows and pretend to be snobbish, pure snobs

Such a person is either a big traitor or a big evil in the potter's heart, and he is definitely not worthy of sympathy.

Bao Xin raised the wine glass: "It's Li Gong's birthday today, and Bao is ashamed to say such a thing! Bao should return a glass of wine and wish Li Gong good health."

Li Shao smiled and said: "General Bao said so, is it still hard to mind the little misunderstanding between you and me a few days ago?"

Bao Xin laughed out loud when he heard this, and said, "Is Bao such a scumbag."

Without further ado, he drank the water and wine in his hand, his face was calm and without hesitation, and the potter looked at him and couldn't help but praise him.

Bao Xin is a good man with a genuine temperament.

Pingzheng stood up, saluted Bao Xin, and went down the donkey and said, "General Bao, to tell you the truth, today I invite you to come here. Apart from inviting you to celebrate Li Gong's birthday, there are other things I would like to invite Bao The general and the lord of the palace agree."

On the other side, Wang Kuang was also surprised when he heard the words, and hurriedly said: "Why is Mr. Ping like this? It's okay to speak directly."

Pingzheng took a long sigh, and said quietly: "Oh, the old man is getting old, timid, and fearful, far from the enthusiasm of the past. One side is peaceful, which is a feat for the country and the people. I hate the old man and others who are the leaders of Hanoi scholars. On the contrary, they avoid the battle because of timidity. The land turned into a piece of scorched earth, and how many innocent children were killed, this is all the fault of the old man and others."

As he spoke, he even shed two tears.

The potters looked like idiots.

I have to say that the old man Pingzheng is very talented in acting, and he can cry whenever he wants to cry, how can ordinary people do it?This is a showman!

Most of the people in the audience were moved by his tearful performance and were quite amazed.

Ping choked with sobs and continued: "Today, the old man and the chiefs of Hanoi are here, and they have the audacity to ask for your order. Please help General Bao and Mr. Tao send troops to Baibo Valley to fight against the traitors, and seek justice for the people who died in Huai County!"

Wang Kuang stroked the beard on his chin, and said comfortingly, "What do you mean by your words, are you willing to help the officers and soldiers hunt down thieves?"

Pingzheng wiped away the tears on his face, and said boldly: "The old man and others discussed, the main king's family will send troops. During the period of hunting for thieves, we and other clans are willing to work together to support the army and horses of the three parties, and give the soldiers cotton coats before the winter solstice to keep out the cold. thing."

Hearing this, Wang Kuang breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and looked at Bao Xin, both of them smiled knowingly.

With the support of these prominent families in Hanoi, the worries of sending troops to attack the Baibo army will be gone.

Wang Kuang cleared his throat, and was about to get up to express his gratitude when the potter suddenly spoke.

"Ping Gong, I feel that the conditions you just raised seem a bit unreliable, don't you?"

After saying a word, Wang Kuang, Bao Xin, Wang Yun, Huang Fusong, Diao Chan, including all the prominent families in Hanoi, all turned their eyes to him.

There were still tears of sadness on the plain old face, but at this moment when he suddenly heard the potter's words, the eyelid of his right eye twitched slightly for some reason.

"What does Mr. Tao mean? I don't quite understand that I and others are funding the officers and soldiers to destroy the thieves. When will I have the conditions?"

The pottery propped up his legs, stood up slowly, and walked slowly to the center of the hall, scanning everyone present with his eyes one by one, with a warm smile on his face.

"Is that so? Mr. Ping, you think Tao is wrong."

Ping's two old eyes stared at the potter.

"Which thing the old man said is wrong, I hope Mr. Tao can correct me."

The pottery merchant bowed his body and said: "If you don't dare to correct me, it's just a little personal superficial opinion. In Tao's opinion, when the word funding is over, there are usually people who take the initiative to do a certain thing or formulate a certain measure, and others provide help. This is called subsidy, just like a few days ago, when we planned to eliminate the Baibo army, at that time, if Mr. Ping sent food and supplies, it could be called subsidy."

Pingzheng spread his hands and said, "Isn't this what the old man is doing?"

"No, no, no." The pottery merchant stretched out a hand, waved it and said, "The premise of what I said was that we took the initiative to destroy the Baibo army. What Pinggong did was called funding, but now, we don't plan to conquer the Baibo army anymore. , I discussed with General Bao that after Mr. Li's birthday, our two armies went back to our territories. At this time, Mr. Ping, you patriarchs, stop and invite us to suppress the bandits. That is not funding, but hiring this I don’t know if you understand the words or not?”

Seeing that the leaders of several prominent families headed by Pingzheng all opened their mouths in surprise, the potter's smile became deeper.

"Yes, that's the expression! The current situation is that you paid us to fight the Baibo army for you. Since you paid us to hire us, I personally think that the bargaining chip you just gave, Mr. Ping, is not at all enough for us to send troops to fight for you. Bai Bojun’s standard, so, I need you to re-evaluate my way of explaining the quotation, I don’t know the fairness, is it clear?”

How could the leaders of the famous families in Hanoi fail to understand what the pottery merchant meant?

Not only is it clear, but it is much more thorough than ordinary people!Everyone is human, who doesn't know who?

Pingzheng's hands were hidden in the sleeves of his robe, he was trembling with anger, but thanks to the wide sleeves of his robe, no one could see him.

Zheng Yan, the patriarch of the Zheng family in Jixian County, stood up, glared at the pottery merchant angrily, and said, "Your Majesty Tao is implying that he wants to take the sheep by hand?"

The potter secretly curled his lips, thinking that Zheng Yan is really uneducated!The word "take the sheep by the hand" is not appropriate here at all. This is obviously taking advantage of the fire to rob, okay?

At this level, it is still a family.

There was a puzzled expression on the face of the pottery merchant, and he said strangely: "Zheng Gong's words really made Tao feel puzzled. What I said below are all honest and heartfelt words. How come Zheng Gong's mouth, it seems that I have become The same thieves as Bai Bojun?"

Zheng Yan's expression was serious, and he said: "Young Master Tao used the matter of conquering the Baibo bandits to blackmail my famous family in Hanoi, what he said and what he did, I'm afraid hehe."

Zheng Yan didn't say anything, but the meaning was obvious. He wanted to say that the potters were "no different from bandits."

The pottery merchant coughed lightly, shook his head and said, "Tao doesn't quite understand Mr. Zheng's words. Dare to ask Mr. Zheng, how do you explain the word extortion?"

Zheng Yan was taken aback when he heard the words, but didn't understand the meaning of the boy's words.
