Chapter 185 Draw the Sword
The entourage of the county magistrate of Pingxi County, Ye Tiancheng and the entourages of the governor of Pingxi County, Huangfu Qianqi, arrived outside the Chu family manor almost at the same time at the same time. There were not many people coming here to the banquet with the two. Huangfu Qianqi only brought two personal soldiers, and Ye Tiancheng brought more people, but even the entourage of the coachman was only six.
Yan Liqiang and Liang Yijie were arranged by Sun Bingchen to welcome the two at the door of the manor.
At this time, it was just getting dark.
"I have met the county magistrate!" Huangfu Qianqi, who jumped off his horse, bowed to Ye Tiancheng first.
"Hahaha, it turns out that the Governor has arrived, so let's go in together..." Ye Tiancheng, who got off the carriage, laughed when he saw Huangfu Qianqi coming, and walked towards the main entrance of the manor with a kind look on his face. Their followers followed them.
Seeing the two people stop at the door of the manor and waiting for Yan Liqiang and Liang Yijie at the door, they immediately went up to meet them. After saluting the two of them separately according to the etiquette in the officialdom, the two led the way in front and welcomed them in.
"You are Yan Liqiang, who was attracted by the Admiral of the Inspection Commander, right, but it is indeed a young hero!" As soon as he walked into the manor, Ye Tiancheng saw Yan Liqiang's two ways, and praised loudly, "The Admiral of the Inspection Commander is indeed as keen as a wise man. He just stayed in Pingxi City for a few days and snatched away one of the talents from my Pingxi County. What a pity, if I had seen you earlier, I would probably have no chance of the Admiral of the Inspection Commander. What do you think?"
"What the inspection is favored by the adults is naturally a material that can be made!" Huangfu Qianqi said implicitly.
"The two lords praised me, and I was lucky. I just learned something from Lord Sun..." Yan Liqiang said with a look of panic. At this time, he walked with Huangfu Qianqi and Ye Tiancheng again in such an identity. Yan Liqiang felt a different feeling and feeling in his heart. The so-called wonder of fate is just like this, but what he showed was still like a young boy.
"Well, follow Lord Sun in the future. If Lord Sun is supported in the future, it is no problem to make achievements. But at that time, Liqiang, don't forget that you are also from Pingxi County, which is native to Pingxi County. Pingxi County is also concerned about you..." Ye Tiancheng said earnestly and full of expectations, full of "leadership" style. After hearing this, Yan Liqiang naturally nodded quickly.
As he spoke, Yan Liqiang and Liang Yijie had already taken Ye Tiancheng and Huangfu Qianqi through a yard, and a team of ceremonial guards beside Sun Bingchen were loading things on the carriage in the yard.
"Li Qiang, why is Lord Sun leaving?" Ye Tiancheng asked inadvertently.
"Well, sir, we have already asked us to pack up and prepare to leave tomorrow..." Yan Liqiang glanced at Liang Yijie and answered honestly.
"I have been to Pingxi County for many days, and Lord Sun has indeed worked hard..." Ye Tiancheng said with a smile.
After walking a few more steps, the followers of Ye Tiancheng and Huangfu Qianqi were led to the side hall next to eat and rest. Yan Liqiang and Liang Yijie continued to walk to the main hall of the manor. After a few steps, the four of them walked to the main hall and saw Sun Bingchen standing at the door of the main hall and smilingly looked here. Ye Tiancheng and Huangfu Qianqi quickly stepped forward and performed a subordinate ceremony to Sun Bingchen.
"Have you met Lord Sun!"
"Have you met Lord Sun!"
"Hahaha, it's not the first time we've seen each other, so there's no need to be polite!" Sun Bingchen waved his hand, and then said calmly to Liang Yijie, "Yijie, you don't need you here. Go and greet me, and let someone take care of what we want to leave. Just keep Liqiang here to accompany you!"
"Yes, sir!" Liang Yijie bowed to Sun Bingchen and then took his leave.
"Please, two sirs!"
"Please, Lord Sun!"
Sun Bingchen, Ye Tiancheng and Huangfu Qianqi were kind enough and walked into the main hall.
Sun Bingchen sat in the chairperson of the main hall, Ye Tiancheng and Huangfu Qianqi were on both sides. Yan Liqiang, as the attendant next to Sun Bingchen, stood next to the screen two meters away from Sun Bingchen, standing solemnly, ready to win Sun Bingchen's call at any time.
As the banquet began, the servants in the manor brought the prepared wine and dishes in the blink of an eye. Next to Sun Bingchen, Ye Tiancheng and Huangfu Qianqi, there were each pretty maids responsible for pouring wine. The atmosphere in the whole hall was relaxed and harmonious.
Sun Bingchen lifted the wine glass, and Ye Tiancheng and Huangfu Qianqi also lifted the wine glass.
Sun Bingchen sighed with emotion, "I remember that the last time I came to Ganzhou was 27 years ago. At that time, I accompanied the Minister of War Gu Hongzhang to Ganzhou to inspect the border army's military. Unexpectedly, it has been twenty-seven years since I came to Ganzhou again. In the past twenty-seven years, Ganzhou has changed a lot. The once-matched land is everywhere, with a fertile land of thousands of miles. My Chinese people have taken root in Ganzhou. These days, as an inspector, I have walked everywhere and looked at it. It is really gratifying. This situation, I will make a big deal here today. Two lords, please!"
As soon as Sun Bingchen finished speaking, he drank the wine in his glass in one go. Ye Tiancheng and Huangfu Qianqi watched it and drank the wine in their glasses. Today's banquet officially began with this glass of wine.
"There is such a grand occasion in Ganzhou, which is naturally inseparable from the strong support of the ministers in the court and the hard work of the soldiers in the state. I suggest that this second glass of wine will be toast the soldiers in the court and the soldiers in the state!" After Ye Tiancheng finished drinking, the maid next to him poured another glass of wine. He picked up the wine and spoke on his own initiative.
"Hahaha, Lord Ye's proposal is good. For this second glass of wine, I will toast the ministers in the court and the soldiers in the state!" Sun Bingchen also laughed...
...
Although Yan Liqiang did not sit on the table, as a bystander, he had a different feeling when he experienced such a drink party.
Among the three, Huangfu Qianqi had the lowest official position, so he also had the least words. If it weren't for someone else's talk about him, he rarely spoke actively, and he responded from the side. Sun Bingchen had the overall situation and Ye Tiancheng cooperated with him. The atmosphere seemed extremely harmonious.
After the 70s of wine and the meals after three flavors, the food on the table became completely cold, almost an hour had passed, and the weather outside had become safely dark.
Just when the atmosphere in the dining room was the warmest, Liang Yijie had already appeared at the door of the hall and personally brought the newly prepared wine and food to deliver it.
"Yijie, why are you here?" Sun Bingchen asked Liang Yijie.
"Sir, the things you will take away tomorrow have been packed. I'll see what instructions are there for you here!" Liang Yijie bowed and said.
"Please hold it away, that's fine. You go back!" Sun Bingchen said with a smile.
Others may feel normal after hearing this, but for Yan Liqiang, who has been with Sun Bingchen for many days, the first time he saw Liang Yijie come to Sun Bingchen to report for such a small matter, always feel a little strange. You know, Liang Yijie's temper is a bit cold, and he rarely asks about these small matters in normal times, let alone report them in person.
Yan Liqiang looked at Liang Yijie's face carefully, but found that Liang Yijie's face seemed plain, but in this dullness, there was a hint of indifference and determination that he had not usually had.
For some reason, Yan Liqiang suddenly felt a tightness in his heart as he listened to the conversation between Liang Yijie and Sun Bingchen.
"yes!"
