The portable magic tower of the Three Kingdoms

"Rewarding the army...it shouldn't be..." Lu Yan thought for a while, "Probably because of being close, or asking for something from us?"

"As the prefect, he will ask our miscellaneous army?" Liu Tao laughed at himself.

"The army that conquered two cities in a row can be regarded as a miscellaneous army?" Lu Yan retorted, "The one who asked, Yan thought that he wanted us to help recover the other counties?"

"It's possible, but doesn't he know that we were able to take down two cities. Puyin County was wiped out in the field because of the defenders. And Wangdu County was trying to trap and kill us with an empty city plan, but they didn't want to be killed. We fought back. In fact, we have never done a real siege." Liu Tao shook his head.

Siege with 1000 soldiers does not meet the basic requirements of siege at all.Even if he manages to defeat him, he doesn't know how many soldiers will be wasted. I'm afraid that his mana points will be drained, which will not be enough.

"The problem is that since he has already invited him to the banquet, he has to save face and attend, otherwise he will be too rude." How could Lu Yan not know that the banquet has not yet started, so it would be unreasonable not to go to the banquet.

"That can't be helped..." Liu Tao shrugged. This action seemed inexplicable to Lu Yan, but from the analysis of Liu Tao's tone and expression, it should mean helplessness.

At the top of the conversation, another recruit came to report: "General, the Zhen family sent someone over and said that they will hold a banquet in the mansion tonight to entertain the general and meet the parents and daughters of Zhen."

"Hey..." Liu Tao was a little embarrassed when he heard the words, "The two banquets collided..."

Chapter 66 How old is Zhen Jiang?

Headache, really a headache... Liu Tao looked at Lu Yan, but found that the latter was thinking about how to solve this problem.

On one side was the invitation from Zang Min, who is the governor of Zhongshan County, and he proposed to have a banquet and say anything to save face.On one side is the Zhen family, which involves Liu Tao's marriage, so naturally they hope it can end perfectly.

"Marriage is not urgent after all, or it can be avoided..." Lu Yan weighed it, and finally gave a suggestion.The marriage itself is based on the interests of both parties, so the wishes of the woman, or even the Zhen family, do not need to be taken too seriously.

For the sake of the strength of the family, even if it is a person who does not like, even if it is an old man in his seventies and eighties, he must marry him. This is the most ruthless aspect of marriage.Besides, it's not intentional not to go, Zhen Yi knows what's going on, so he won't get entangled.

"Reject it..." Liu Tao thought for a while, and it seems to be okay, after all, he has been in this era for more than a year, and he has some understanding of the marriage situation.Zhen Yi doesn't have an official position now, so he really doesn't need to pay so much attention to it.

Even if he is left out like this, he can take more initiative in future negotiations.

"It's just that we proposed the marriage on our own initiative, right?" Liu Tao pointed to himself, then pointed to Lu Yan, "Yesterday I was so enthusiastic, but today my attitude suddenly cooled down. The deliberate feeling is too obvious!"

After thinking about it, he raised his head and asked, "When are the banquet times of the two families?"

"The eunuch's banquet started at the time of You!" Lu Yan thought for a while, "The Zhen family seems to be similar, brother, is he planning to..."

"Talk to the Zhen family, is it possible to arrive at Shen Shi early? Wei Shi is the best!" Liu Tao replied, dinner is not good, and lunch is not a big problem. Anyway, the theme is to let him meet Zhen Jiang, and eating is not the focus.

"In this way, there will be one to two hours... that's okay, I'll ask!" Lu Yan also reacted, and immediately ran towards the outside of the camp.

Although Zhen Yi proposed the invitation, it was related to the marriage of the two families, and Liu Tao took the initiative.When Lu Yan came to visit and explained that Zang Min sent someone over to invite Liu Tao to dinner tonight, Zhen Yi also planned to reschedule.

It's just a pity, after all, the eldest daughter Zhen Jiang has been informed, and at the same time, the back chef has been asked to prepare meals...

"Brother, what you mean is whether the banquet can be brought forward to Shenshi, preferably Weishi." Lu Yan looked at Zhen Yi who was a little confused, so he immediately said Liu Tao's meaning.

"Yes!" Zhen Yi nodded when he heard the words, even though it was only an hour or so away.Considering that dinner is just lunch, it really doesn't need to be too rich, and an hour is enough.

The matter was almost settled in this way. When Lu Yan returned, there was still half an hour before Weishi, and Liu Tao was taking a nap.After exercising for two hours in the morning, I was hungry. I wanted to eat something, but Lu Yan didn't reply. He couldn't eat well, so he could only drink some water and take a nap to reduce consumption.

"Do you need to wake up Sima?" Seeing that Lu Yan was coming, the soldiers asked cautiously.

"No hurry, call again in a quarter of an hour." Seeing this, Lu Yan shook her head. There was still half an hour before she could take a nap.

Two quarters of an hour, that is, less than half an hour, Liu Tao suddenly woke up.Originally intending to stare for a while, it turned out that he seemed to have slept for a long time. Realizing this, he immediately turned over.

"Sir, are you up?" The soldiers stepped forward, "The military division just came to look for it, and Yan Zhenyi has already agreed to come to the banquet in time."

"What time is it now?" Liu Tao nodded and asked immediately.

"There are still two quarters of an hour until Weishi, and my subordinates are about to wake you up." The soldier hurried back, even according to his seniority, he should be Liu Tao's younger brother.It's just that there are five servers in the end, and the status in the army is different, so what should be paid attention to is still to be paid attention to.

"Oh, there are still two quarters of an hour..." Liu Tao was relieved when he heard that there was still enough time, so he just got up to wash up, make himself as clean and capable as possible, and adjust his mentality.

"Brother, it's almost time." With about 10 minutes left, Lu Yan came to inform him in advance.Seeing that Liu Tao was ready, he felt a little relieved.

"Well, let's go! I'm going to dinner twice in a row tonight, so I'm busy." Liu Tao laughed.

"Entertainment is like this, after all, you have to get used to it." Lu Yan shook his head, "When the world is settled and rewards are given for merit, I will wait until Luoyang, so I may have to face more entertainment."

"Whether you can go to Luoyang or not..." Liu Tao shook his head. Historically, it seemed that Liu Bei and the other three were directly appointed as Anxi County Captain after the Yellow Turban Rebellion was put down, and none of them were qualified to go to Luoyang.

"Others can't say for sure, but as an elder brother, it is estimated that he will go." Lu Yan shook his head. It is impossible for His Majesty not to be interested in the clansmen of the Han family who have repeatedly made outstanding achievements on the battlefield.It's just that I can't guarantee whether I will be wary while being interested.

Liu Tao didn't know what Lu Yan was thinking, but just echoed his point of view.Even if they knew it, they would just smile at most. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, disciples of the clan were everywhere to take up official positions in the localities.For example, Liu Dai who served as the governor of Yanzhou, Liu Yu who served as the governor of Youzhou, and Liu Yan who served as the governor of Yizhou.As well as Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, and Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou.

Don't talk about these few, just talk about Chen Wang Liu Chong, who has [-] troops under his jurisdiction, isn't it safe and sound?

Chatting and chatting, we have already arrived at Zhen's Mansion, this is not the old house of Zhen's family, but Zhen's other residence in Lu Nu.There are no carved railings and jade masonry, which is full of luxury, relatively simple and low-key, and it is estimated that it is also worried about overstepping.

Although the Zhen family is not purely a businessman, but after all, there are no prominent clansmen, and they don't want to cause trouble if they can avoid it.

Informed the concierge of his identity in front of the door, the latter seemed to have already been ordered, so one led the two into the mansion, and the other rushed to inform.Going all the way, sat down directly in the main hall.

There is definitely no ready-made tea. Generally speaking, when scholars get along with each other, the host personally cooks tea to entertain guests. Unknowingly, tea cooking has become a cultural craft.Zhen Yi didn't seem to have this skill, so he hired a tea master to make tea.

Liu Tao has traveled through this year, but he really has never drunk the tea of ​​this era.Lu Yan doesn't seem to have the habit of drinking tea either, either drinking water or alcohol when getting along.On the contrary, Confucian scholars in Guandong, Luoyang and other places like to drink tea and discuss the skills of tea cooking.

It was fine at the beginning, most of it was boiling water and preparing tea leaves, but when he saw the messy spices, even oil and salt, Liu Tao seemed to understand why he used "tea soup" to describe tea, and why there was "eating tea" ' argument.

"This is butter tea that needs to be seasoned with salt..." Liu Tao sighed, losing his appetite for a while.

Just as he was complaining about this, Zhen Yi had already come from the back room and cupped his hands towards the two of them: "I kept you two waiting for so long!"

"Where is it, I'm just here too." Liu Tao and Lu Yan hurriedly replied.

"The banquet will be ready soon, you two can drink some tea first and wait a while." Zhen Yi smiled at the two of them, and then greeted the back room, "Jiang Er, come out!"

A young girl came out of the back room slowly with a bit of shyness, and finally hid behind Zhen Yi.

"Eh..." Liu Tao looked at the other party, then approached Lu Yan and asked in a low voice, "How old do you think Zhen Jiang is?"

Chapter 67 First Meeting

Liu Tao's attention seemed to be on Zhen Jiang's name at that time, and he vaguely heard Lu Yan say "two..." or something.When I came back to my senses, this period had already passed, and I subconsciously thought it was the '[-]' years.

She is 16 years old, still a bit young, considering she is only fifteen years old, but if she is engaged, it doesn't matter if she remarries in a few years.

"Twenty-six years..." Lu Yan was very strange, didn't he say that?

"Isn't it a little young?" Liu Tao asked in a low voice, the 12-year-old is a little bit impatient, and it takes three years to start.The key point is that 12 years old is not a false age, right?So, Zhen Jiang is actually only 11 years old this year?

"You two, what's the matter?" Zhen Yi didn't expect that Liu Tao hurriedly discussed something with Lu Yan when he saw Zhen Jiang, and he didn't understand what he said, and seemed a little scared.No way, it's my daughter who looks ugly, scaring him, right?

"No, no, I was shocked by Ling Qianjin's all-powerful face!" Liu Tao realized that he was a little ashamed, and subconsciously replied.After finishing speaking, I realized that the word 'daughter' has not yet appeared in this era.

"Puff..." The girl couldn't help laughing, this man is really interesting, he should be thinking of something else, but when he was asked, he blurted out such words.
