Turbulent Times Chapter 546: Be the first to act

In other words, it is not appropriate to fight against the Dugu family right now. No matter how you say it, for a long period of time, the Dugu family will be a huge monster to Wang Junlin, which cannot be easily shaken. Tang replaced it, and the Dugu family was still the top family in the world. In short, the current Dugu family is not something Wang Junlin can afford to provoke.

Of course, with Wang Junlin's illustrious deeds and his supernatural powers, Wang Junlin's weight is not light to the Dugu family, so Wang Junlin handed in the greeting card today, and Dugu Changsu went out to greet him in person. Allowing Dugu Wudu to accompany him for the time being also implicitly revealed Dugu Changsu's attitude.

The two chatted while walking towards the front hall where the guests were greeted. For Dugu Wudu, the chatting along the way was not without purpose. He had a good impression of Wang Junlin, and his age was similar, and he had always looked down on those gangsters who went out to fool around all day, and Wang Junlin, who was young and He attaches great importance to people who earn wealth by their own ability.

The music of silk, bamboo, lute and flute in the front hall of Dugu Mansion is still melodious amidst the noise of laughter. Dugu Wudu grabbed Wang Junlin's wrist and walked inside, laughing as he walked, "What brother Wang said just now is the same as the three Don't worry about uncle's misunderstanding, my father just told me that I must entertain Brother Wang today. Come, drink in the hall."

Wang Junlin was dragged by the wrist by Dugu Wudu to the front hall. He took off his shoes at the entrance of the hall, and Wang Junlin entered carefully in full clothes.

The front hall of Dugu Mansion is very exquisitely built, with all kinds of strange totem and auspicious beasts carved everywhere. The huge front hall is only slightly smaller than the palace of the Great Sui Palace. It is said that as a courtier, it is so big to build such a large hall. The hall is already beyond the limit, but the front hall of Dugu Mansion was chartered by Yang Jian. Firstly, it is to honor the meritorious service of the Dugu family who worked hard to help him ascend the throne and proclaim the emperor. point relationship.

The front hall is too big, it looks a bit deserted, and there is a kind of formality in the forbidden palace. Unlike Han Qinhu and the backer Wang Yanglin's mansion, the front hall of Dugu's house is much more beautiful in terms of decoration and layout. The military commander is more than one level higher. Compared with Han Qinhu's family, Dugu's family is too refined. The difference between a thousand-year-old family and a founding upstart is clear at a glance.

All kinds of exquisite wine and dishes were served, and in the center of the front hall, more than a dozen maikos dressed in gorgeous palace costumes danced lightly. With their twirling postures, flying skirts, and fascinating smiles, Wang Junlin was immediately intoxicated in their dance.

Generally speaking, the night banquet at Dugu's house is much more upscale than those at the house of the great general Han Qinhu and the backer king Yang Lin. No matter the beauty of the kabuki or the exquisite food, it is very pleasing to the eye, as if you are in a later age It's like a banquet in a high society.

However, for some reason, Wang Junlin feels uncomfortable sitting in the front hall of Dugu's house at the moment, and instead misses Han Qinhu and the banquet at the backer Wang's house...

Shocked by this untimely emotion, Wang Junlin thought that it was probably because the relationship with the Dugu family was far from being comparable to that of the Han family and the backer Wangfu.

After a song and dance ended, Dugu Wudu clapped his hands, and another Kabuki and Maiko appeared on the stage again.

Since it is a wine banquet, there will naturally be wine and banquets. When the wine is in full swing, it's time for the main course.

Not long after, a chef outside the front hall brought a sheep and stood on the porch outside the hall to salute the guests and hosts. Inserting the neck of a live sheep, killing the sheep, bleeding and skinning, all procedures are done in an orderly manner.

After the inside and outside of the sheep were cleaned up, Dugu Wuzhe asked Wang Junlin to come down to the hall, and walked up to the sheep. Then Wang Junlin chose first, and pointed to a piece of tender meat in the belly of the sheep. The cook next to him agreed. , cut off the piece of tender meat, and retreated...

Four songs and dances in a row, less than half an hour passed, the mutton just selected has been roasted, and the servants brought the wooden tray up to the hall, and placed it in front of Wang Junlin. The mutton was sprinkled with fine pepper and served with some special This is the most famous main dish of the most elite people in the Sui Dynasty, and it is called "Guoting sheep".

The banquet at the Dugu Mansion gave Wang Junlin a very strong feeling, that is, he was very particular about everything, including food, wine, singing and dancing. It was done properly, as if Dugu Mansion had rehearsed many times in advance for this banquet.

Of course, this particularity is well concealed in the uninhibited laughter between the guests and the host, and it is not easy to detect, but for Wang Junlin, who is participating in such a banquet for the first time, it is more unreasonable A sort of uncomfortably stiff.

Fortunately, Dugu Wudu is very good at talking, and he is very interested in Wang Junlin's many famous deeds. He asked Wang Junlin for advice one by one, and Wang Junlin said some things slowly with reservations. , the banquet atmosphere was very harmonious.

The banquet was halfway through, because now the rich people in the Sui Dynasty drink alcohol from the mountain, which is far from the Sanle pulp that the rich and powerful in the Sui Dynasty loved, so Dugu Wudu already has Somewhat drunk, at this time Dugu Changsu finally came back, and said as soon as he entered the door: "Nephew, would you like to go to a good show with the old man?"

Wang Junlin's eyes flashed brightly, and he said, "Uncle Dugu wants to do something right away?"

Dugu Changsu looked at Wang Junlin appreciatively, nodded, and said, "What? What do you think is wrong?"

Wang Junlin said: "I think Dugu Moyu and Bo Duo Dharma King already knew about the boy's visit to Uncle Dugu today, and based on the boy's understanding of Bo Duo Dharma King, I am afraid that Uncle Dugu wants to do something to Dugu Moyu. And Bo Duo Dharma King is extremely decisive and extremely ruthless. If I am not wrong, I may let Dugu Moyu gather all his strength to strike first, and maybe the opponent's assassination of Uncle Dugu is already on the way."

Dugu Changsu's complexion changed several times, he thought for a while, then turned to Dugu Wudu and said: "Go and dress up the man in the small courtyard next to the courtyard where I live, and prepare to go out with me."

…

…

A cavalry team consisting of 20 people at the front and back, with a carriage in the middle, drove out of Dugu Mansion, onto the main street, and went forward.

Dugu Wudu rode up to Kou Zhongzhi, rode forward with him, and said in a low voice: "Is this route safe? The enemy can easily hide in the tree and assassinate."

I didn't notice it before. When I got on the horse just now, Wang Junlin noticed that Dugu Wudu was both civil and military: "The most fearful thing is that they won't come."
