Chapter 317 Chen Yuan Goes North (asking for monthly ticket)
The golden gauze dancer at the front took a step forward with lotus steps and bowed to Xu Xiangdong who was sitting at the side. Her eyes, which were only exposed, were full of mist and waves as she said clearly:
"The Captain is right!"
"I will be closed to visitors these days."
"But according to the boss's instructions, we have distinguished guests coming today, and the people in the building accidentally bumped into this general, so I was asked to go out and dance a song to apologize to the generals." As she said this, Miayi turned her graceful body to the side and bowed to the red-armored general sitting at the head. Her beautiful eyes were like water, gentle and soft, and her exotic face added a touch of charm.
This beautiful figure, the hot gauze dress, the coquettish charm, she sat cross-legged on both sides, the eyes of several blue-clothed soldiers who were traveling with her stared at her with shining eyes. The cold and solemn appearance she deliberately showed outside, now took off her disguise, laughed, and looked at these Western dancers wantonly, with amusement and smile in her eyes.
"Haha," Xu Xiangdong laughed loudly, and turned to Deputy General Hu, flattering him without revealing his feelings, "Deputy General Hu is really a man of honor. The owner of Tianxianglou rarely gives honor to others. Today, I am also benefiting from the general's help."
"Come!"
"Xu will offer a toast first."
As he spoke, he picked up the white cup with small feet on the small table in front of him, held it up with one hand, and supported the bottom of the cup with the other hand, and offered it to the red-armored general named Hu, drinking it first as a sign of respect.
The young deputy general from the Imperial Capital who was sitting at the head of the group finally smiled, picked up the wine glass on the table, and without looking at Xu Xiangdong, he looked at the beautiful and sexy Western dancer in front of him with cold eyes and a gaze as if he was appreciating an object, and took a sip.
"That's right, let me see it!"
After saying that, he put the cup on the table.
Xu Xiangdong understood and waved to Mi Ayi, "Let's get started!"
Miai smiled lightly, took small steps back with her smooth, white feet, then spread her arms and stood on tiptoe. Then the melodious sound of the erhu began to sound, drawing the atmosphere in the room into the vast yellow sand outside the Great Wall.
Soon, a dance with unique Western style began to dance gracefully in the room. The melodious music filled the air. The soldiers at the table began to nod their heads and talk and laugh.
Xu Xiangdong, who was sitting cross-legged in the middle, accompanied them and tried to keep a low profile, trying to make the blue-clad soldiers happy. He gradually made the atmosphere at the table lively, and they toasted each other, creating a hearty atmosphere.
Although these green-armored soldiers were at the same level as himself, they were arrogant in their bones and looked down on the local soldiers. Xu Xiangdong knew that the King of Hell was easy to deal with but the little devils were difficult to deal with, so he tried every means to get along with these people.
Of course, the main reason he came today was to keep the deputy general named Hu beside him company.
The deputy general's name is Hu Jinquan. It is said that he is a member of a family in the imperial capital. He is the deputy general serving the commander of the vanguard army of Tianxiong Pass and is a popular figure.
Xu Xiangdong knew that the situation in Shu was about to change.
The imperial court sent a new demon-suppressing envoy and an army of 150,000, obviously dissatisfied with the current situation in Shu and wanting a major change. For Xu Xiangdong, this group of vanguard troops that first arrived at Tianxiong Pass was an opportunity, an opportunity to climb up and avoid being affected by this storm.
What's the trouble?
Naturally, it was the conflict between the Demon-Suppressing Envoy sent by the imperial court and the Ninth Mountain General!
Did he know that as soon as the vanguard commander arrived at Tianxiong Pass, he gave an order to General Wei, specifically asking the Ninth Mountain Attendant to come to Tianxiong Pass and personally go out of the pass to welcome the emperor!
He was present at the time, but he could hear the sneer in the vanguard commander's tone when he said this.
There is no need to guess the other party's attitude, it obviously represents the attitude of the new Demon Suppressor!
Unfortunately, the Tianxiong Pass Patrol Department has a close relationship with the Ninth Mountain General. When the demons attacked the city and the three families rebelled, the Ninth Mountain General led the troops to help them quell the rebellion and showed his mighty power, which left a deep impression on the people of Tianxiong Pass. The local Wei Zhonglang thus formed a relationship with this adult, and many people in the local Patrol Department highly respected this adult. Not long ago, when the various mountain-killing armies were defeated, the Ninth Mountain General returned victorious from the demon battlefield, broke through Musashi, and sat in Jinguan City, which excited the people. Everyone naturally believed that this Zhonglang General would be the next demon-suppressing envoy of Jiannan Road.
结果
Xu Xiangdong believed that no matter how famous this gentleman was, he could not resist the will of the imperial court and would definitely be suppressed by the new Demon Suppressor. He would either bow his head or... the result would definitely be a sea of blood and a mountain of corpses. He did not dare to think too deeply about it.
There is a connection between our general and this gentleman, although their friendship cannot be described as very deep, but his subordinates have witnessed that his general respects Jiu Zhonglang. And from the situation in the past two days, the commander of the vanguard army seems to know all this. Because of the frequent fighting in the city recently and the poor performance of the Patrol Sky Division, he has gradually undermined the power of his general and taken control of Tianxiong Pass.
His general was in a bad situation, and as a subordinate, he naturally smelled the coming storm and wanted to find a way out for himself, so there was this banquet today.
When he made the other party's men happy, he toasted them repeatedly and complimented them constantly.
The young deputy general was naturally pleased by the respectful and almost flattering attitude of the local captain. He drank slowly while looking at the graceful figure on the field, and his attitude softened.
Just as they were enjoying the wine, Xu Xiangdong felt that the time was almost right, raised his glass and whispered:
"General Hu is young and promising. He has already passed the imperial examination at such a young age. I am really envious of him. I think that once the Demon Suppression Envoy takes over Jinguan City, the general will surely be promoted."
"I have an unwelcome request, and I hope General Hu can help me!"
He said this with an earnest look in his eyes.
Next to him, Deputy General Hu, who was watching the dancing girl from the Western Region, smiled. He didn't turn his head, but just nodded and picked up the cup.
"you say!"
Seeing the other party's attitude, Xu Xiangdong realized that there was a chance and felt slightly delighted. Then his eyebrows moved and he raised his hand, preparing to move the folded side screen between the dancers and his group to create a space for talking.
Unexpectedly, Deputy General Hu spoke up, his voice was a little casual, as if he had guessed the purpose of the captain's visit, "Don't bother, it's not a big deal, I think the dance is good."
Xu Xiangdong withdrew his hand and gave a slight chuckle.
"hehe!"
"I almost disturbed General Hu's elegance."
As he spoke, he leaned towards the other person, turned his eyes, and stated his purpose.
"To be honest, I heard that the Demon Suppression Envoy is about to take office, and I am excited." "It is a blessing for Shu that the court sent the Heavenly Army to support Shu. I am looking forward to it."
"General Hu, please say a few good words to General Gongyang. I also want to work with you all to achieve great things!"
He spoke passionately and sincerely.
The General Gongyang he mentioned was the commander of the vanguard army that entered Tianxiong Pass.
When the young deputy general Hu Jinquan heard this, the curve of his mouth became wider and wider. He turned his head slightly and said with a smile,
"Captain Xu wants to be our vanguard, aren't you afraid that your general will be unhappy?"
Hearing the other party mention his general, Xu Xiangdong felt embarrassed, thinking that he was already betraying his master.
However, people go to higher places and water flows to lower places. Everyone has selfish desires, so he said shamelessly:
"We are all one family. I don't think the general will say anything."
But there was a hint of guilt in his words.
The young deputy general Hu Jinquan looked at the other man's face jokingly, his eyes squinting, and the arrogance in his eyes never dissipated.
"You are a smart man, you have turned from darkness to light."
"Even if your general Wei knew, it doesn't matter. He is close to the ninth mountain general, so he is destined not to be used by the demon-suppressing envoy again. It is only a matter of time before he is demoted."
"Oh, among the 150,000 Heavenly Army, there are many strong men, and there are many who can sit in the position of General of the Central Army. It is not the turn of this General Wei to have any objection."
As he spoke, he finally looked over, a smile of appreciation on his face.
"You did a good job today. Don't worry, I will say a few good words to General Gongyang and ensure that you have a successful career!"
When Xu Xiangdong heard this, he showed just the right amount of joy.
"Thank you very much, Deputy General Hu!"
"Come, let me toast you!"
As he spoke, he happily filled the other person's glass with wine and raised the glass with both hands.
"Yeah!" The young deputy general nodded. Although he didn't show it, he really enjoyed the feeling of being praised. This time he finally finished the glass of wine, which was considered as a recognition of Xu Xiangdong, the local captain.
Xu Xiangdong was delighted, but unexpectedly, after the young deputy general finished drinking, he suddenly asked him,
"What do you think of the Ninth Mountain General?"
Xu Xiangdong's face froze slightly. He was afraid of being asked this question by these people. That adult was so famous, killed demons, suppressed rebellions, and was admired by so many people. He was naturally in awe of him. With his status, how could he be qualified to judge.
He could only bite the bullet.
"That lord was famous in Shu and had made great achievements in the battle on the battlefield. At that time, the mountain-cutting army was basically defeated by the monsters, and the situation was about to go downhill, but..."
He was talking about all the well-known news in Shu, but he noticed that the smile on the young deputy general's mouth was slowly disappearing. He immediately realized that something was wrong and stopped talking.
Hu Jinquan said with a hint of joking, "From what you said, this General is indeed very powerful. I heard that everyone in your Sky Patrol Department thinks that he will be the next Demon Suppression Envoy?"
Xu Xiangdong's face changed slightly, and he quickly smiled awkwardly, "No, the court has its own arrangements."
The young deputy general sneered, his eyes filled with sarcasm and disdain, "It's better not to! I heard from the court that the demons haven't completely broken through the seal, but some remnants have escaped and defeated the Shu army, and the cities have been lost one after another. After a battle like this, what so-called prestige is there? I guess this Lieutenant General is just the tallest among the short ones."
"When this Jiuzhonglang comes to welcome the Demon Suppression Envoy and the Heavenly Army, you will know how ridiculous your ideas are!"
Xu Xiangdong remained silent.
He doesn't agree.
A few months ago, he had seen demons running out of the Ten Thousand Mountains. They were extremely ferocious and fierce, and only a few of them caused chaos in Tianxiong Pass. This young deputy general from the Imperial Capital negated everything with just a few words. I hope that the other party will think the same way when he really goes to the battlefield!
And just as the clouds were moving in all directions inside Tianxiong Pass, eight thousand miles away in the south, a brilliant silver light rushed into the northern snow country where the sky was covered with wind and snow. Behind the silver light, a huge city entrenched in ice and snow was rapidly moving away!
And that brilliant silver light was extremely fast and turned into a stream of light in the wind and snow.
The silver light turned out to be a ferocious giant eagle!
It is over forty feet long, and its entire body seems to be made of silver iron. Each feather flashes with a chilling light, like a sharp sword, and is extremely ferocious.
This sculpture has a human face and a sculpture body, with two long silver horns on its head. It is a Daoguo realm Gu sculpture, one of the ten evil spirits!
Between the two horns of this sculpture, a figure dressed in green stood on it, her clothes fluttering, her hair flying, and a pair of black pupils flashing with a faint golden light as she watched the endless snowstorm between heaven and earth.
At this moment, a drunken groan and burp sounded behind him.
