(Thank you very much for the generosity and monthly ticket support of 'Wandering De Years', 'Haihu 888', 'Book Friends 44683804', 'apharmy', 'Super Big Mango'.)
Prefect Jiang Yishan had already heard the news and stood outside the gate to welcome him.
"I have seen the prefect." Wang Junlin clasped his fists on the horse and saluted, then jumped off the horse, and the others dismounted with him.
"I've met Marquis Qin An." After Wang Junlin got off his horse, Jiang Yishan cupped his hands and bowed. Calculated according to the grade, it is the same as Taiguo, it is the fourth grade.
Jiang Yishan's posture was very low, and after saluting at this time, he said loudly: "My officer is very happy to hear that Qin Anhou is serving as the general of Yingyang Lang of Zhangye County. He sends people to watch the post outside the city every day. I hope that Marquis Qin An will take office as soon as possible, and now that Marquis Qin An is here, it is truly glorious."
Wang Junlin smiled, and his posture was very low. He was always modest and prudent, and he quickly returned the salute, and said with a smile: "I was delayed on the way to the official, and I came a few days late. Don't blame the prefect for luck. In addition , I have specially prepared some small gifts, and I hope you can accept them with a smile." After speaking, some soldiers brought gifts.
Jiang Yishan hastily thanked him: "I'm sorry for Qin Anhou's trouble, but I've ruined my official."
After being polite, he raised his hand as a gesture of invitation, and said with a smile, "I have prepared a banquet in the mansion, and I invite the mansion of Marquis Qin An to talk."
Wang Junlin brought everyone along and walked towards the mansion with big strides, and the accompanying soldiers also entered one after another. At the middle gate, when Wang Junlin, Chong Yao, Xu Jingzong, Yu Zimo, and Zhan Peng entered the middle gate, a general came and stopped the soldiers behind him, and said with a smile: "Please stay behind, gentlemen, follow me." Go outside to have tea and dinner."
Huang Zitao, who just served as the centurion leader of the scout team of Wang Junlin's personal corps, slammed his face down, and shouted: "I'm only waiting for orders from my Lord Marquis. Who are you, and you dare to make noise here?" Without waiting for the man to say more, he pushed him away and led the crowd to break in. But Wang Junlin in the inner room turned around and scolded: "Don't be rude, you will wait in the outer room."
"Yes!" Huang Zitao didn't dare to act recklessly when he heard the order. So he led more than 150 soldiers to stand in line outside the middle gate, and did not go to rest. Instead, he seemed to be the hostess and guarded the middle gate for Jiang Yishan's subordinates.
Jiang Yishan took it into his eyes, but he didn't say much, he just smiled at Wang Junlin and said, "I've heard for a long time that the Marquis of Qin An has a good command of the army, and the Hu Lang under his command is really extraordinary."
After all, Jiang Yishan cast his eyes on Wang Junlin with a half-smile, obviously wanting to see what Wang Junlin had to say.
Wang Junlin didn't care, and said with a smile: "Master Taishou is too proud. They are just some arrogant soldiers, totally ignorant of etiquette, and adults too laugh."
After Wang Junlin finished speaking, the two laughed at the same time and exchanged a haha, the matter was over, Jiang Yishan once again waved his hands to invite Wang Junlin to enter.
At this time, the prefect's mansion had already been fully prepared. When Wang Junlin arrived, after the banquet, a young maid appeared and brought up delicious food and wine. Although Jiang Yishan himself is thrifty, this kind of banquet is extremely grand, so the food and wine are extremely rich.
Next, Jiang Yishan asked his nephews to meet Wang Junlin one by one. During the period, everyone noticed that Wang Junlin was very ugly, even a vicious insect monster, but they all thought that he was Wang Junlin's staff. Given Wang Junlin's background, it is not surprising that there are strange people around him. Didn't pay much attention either. What no one noticed was that there was a small black cauldron under the hem of the worm demon's clothes, and tiny centipedes came out quietly, along the floor, avoiding people's feet, and got behind the curtains on both sides.
The whole banquet process seemed normal, both sides were very harmonious and friendly, especially after a team of beautiful dancers came on stage, the atmosphere was even more enthusiastic.
Jiang Yishan looked around the hall, and saw that Wang Junlin and everyone around him were attracted by the dancing girl, so he wanted to throw a cup as a sign, and let the five hundred guards hidden on both sides of the hall rush into the hall, beheading Wang Junlin in one fell swoop kill. But at this time, since the middle gate was controlled by Wang Junlin's guards, if the problem could not be resolved quickly, something else would happen.
He had also heard of Wang Junlin's powerful methods and high strength of force. He could be said to be an enemy of ten thousand people. He and Wang Junlin are only a few steps away, fighting together, with his martial arts and the master guard sent to him by Yu Zhongwen, can he ensure his safety? He doesn't have much confidence in it.
One thought after another was tossing in his mind, and finally a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, and the wine glass in his hand smashed to the ground with a little force, and the hall became completely silent for a while.
Wang Junlin glanced at Jiang Yishan with a half-smile, and said, "Could it be that the prefect is so drunk that he can't even hold his wine glass steady."
Jiang Yishan's face changed at this time, because he dropped the wine glass as planned, but the planned five hundred swordsmen did not appear, but he had to force himself to be calm at this time, looking at Wang Junlin He said with a dry smile: "I made Qin Anhou laugh, I have never been able to drink."
At this moment, a sudden change occurred.
The old man who had been standing behind Jiang Yishan suddenly drew his knife and slashed at Jiang Yishan's neck.
In the blink of an eye, Wang Junlin seemed to have known that the old man would do this for a long time. He raised his right hand and shot two iron spikes hidden in his sleeve, one of which was aimed at the old man's throat. One shot at the old man's heart, the old man's face changed, and the long knife in his hand changed direction halfway.
Ding Ding!
There was a sound of gold and stone colliding, and the two iron thorns were blocked by the old man, but Jiang Yishan, who had reacted, burst into anger, and the spear hidden under the table stabbed back fiercely, and with a snort, stabbed the old man After wearing it, he threw it casually in the arena, crushing the two dancers to the ground. The dancers in the arena screamed in fright, and then scattered like birds and beasts, and ran out of the hall quickly.
There was a dead silence in the room, everyone was shocked, Jiang Yishan's face changed unsteadily, looking at the old man who was already dead, his face was full of disbelief, but deep in his eyes were embarrassment and anger meaning.
"Good marksmanship." Wang Junlin smiled slightly, his expression was a little surprised. Although he also knew that Jiang Yishan was a rare combination of both civil and military skills, he did not expect that Jiang Yishan's martial arts had reached the stagnation period. After all, one's energy is limited. Whether it is reading or practicing martial arts, it consumes a lot of time and energy. He can achieve high achievements in both aspects, which is enough to see that Jiang Yishan's talent, will, and temperament are quite good. .
"Thank you Qin Anhou for saving your life. I didn't expect that this person would be an assassin in disguise. If Qin Anhou hadn't acted in a timely manner, I would have been dressed in a different place." Jiang Yishan had some vague guesses , his complexion became more and more ugly, but it was difficult to accept it for a while.
