Chapter 680 United Front
In the evening, before the sun set, Yan Liqiang returned to Luyuan in a rented four-wheeled carriage.
When he went out in the morning, Yan Liqiang was empty-handed, but when he came back, Yan Liqiang did not empty-handed, but took a jar of good wine and a square bag from the car.
As soon as the carriage drove towards the Luyuan gate, the soldiers guarding the door were already staring at the carriage with serious expressions, as if they wanted to come over to drive people at any time. The driver who drove the carriage was also a little nervous. When he saw Yan Liqiang get off the carriage, the soldiers guarding the Luyuan gate instantly became as kind as spring breeze, and smiled one by one, straightened their chests and folded their belly, and welcomed Yan Liqiang back.
"Mr. Yan, you are back..." The little flag officer ran over, his face smiling like a flower. When he saw Yan Liqiang carrying a bulging package, the little flag officer looked even more excited.
"Give the wine to the brothers on duty. After changing shifts in the evening, drink some and warm up your body!" Yan Liqiang threw the wine to the officer of the small flag, and then gave the officer a wink and patted the package he carried with him. "Wait for you to change shifts in a while, come to my yard for a trip..."
The small flag officer suddenly understood and nodded.
...
When it was dark, there was a knock on the door outside the yard where Yan Liqiang lived. Yan Liqiang came to the door and opened the door. He saw that there were six officers, three small flags, two long lines, and a Feiyang Captain, all of whom were familiar faces in the Luyuan. They were not unfamiliar. One of them was holding a long pole in his hand, covering it with a red cloth cover, as if it was a gift for Yan Liqiang.
"I've seen Lord Yan..." Several officers were a little restrained. After all, it was one thing for everyone to see Yan Liqiang in the past, but it was another thing for actually visiting the begging people. Yan Liqiang's current identity is much higher than theirs, so they couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Come on, come in, wait for you!" Yan Liqiang smiled, without any airs, so he let a few people enter the yard and closed the door. "My yard is a bit off. It is rare for someone to visit on weekdays. I happened to ask the people in Luyuan kitchen to get some wine and food to deliver. Let's have a few drinks tonight!"
Seeing Yan Liqiang so approachable and even prepared food and drinks, he was waiting for a few people to come. The officers looked at each other and were all a little flattered.
"It's really a risk to disturb you this time. Please ask your son to atone for his sins!" The Feiyang Captain bowed to Yan Liqiang and said.
"Hahaha, Captain Liu, why are you polite? Come in..."
"Sir, do you still remember the name of Beizhi?" The captain was stunned for a moment and said in surprise. In Luyuan, the captain Feiyang had little contact with Yan Liqiang, and he also thought he was a small person. Unexpectedly, Yan Liqiang knew him and could call out his name in one go. He was just thinking about introducing Yan Liqiang to himself and the people who came with him.
"Why don't you remember? Your name is Liu Xitong, his name is Guo Sida, his name is Xu Shu, his name is Zhang Leyan, his name is Qian Dazhu, and his name is Meng Hui!" Yan Liqiang smiled and pointed at the officers, saying the names of the lower-ranking officers one by one. "This is not the first time I'm in Luyuan. I know the names of brothers. You guys forgot that I was assassinated in Luyuan last time and were seriously injured. Have you followed Eunuch Liu to the Imperial Capital to find justice for me? Although this matter has been a few years, I still remember you, let's go and talk..."
When the officers heard Yan Liqiang say the things that happened and the names of several people in one mouthful, they were really excited. The feeling of restraint suddenly decreased by half. Several people followed Yan Liqiang to the house and found that a table of banquets had indeed been prepared in the house. The food was ready, and the dishes were still hot, and the preparations were thoughtful. The few people didn't know what to say at once.
"Sir Yan, this is a little bit of my wish for you by my brothers. I hope you don't dislike me..." As Captain Liu said, he handed over the old guy who was wearing a red cloth on his hand.
Yan Liqiang took the thing and once it landed in his hand, he knew it was a spear. He pulled the cloth cover on the spear in front of several people. Immediately, a spear nearly three meters long appeared in front of Yan Liqiang. The spear tip of the spear flashed coldly and was extremely sharp. The spear rod was dark red, and it was solid and heavy. The material of the spear rod was wood, but when it was held in his hand, it was heavy, with a weight of steel, weighing fifty or sixty pounds.
"Good gun..." Yan Liqiang praised, and his eyes swept over the spear inch by inch. "The spear tip is sharp and delicate, and it is slightly different from the ordinary stainless steel spear tip. The advantage is like cast by meteorite. The barrel is dark in color and heavy in the hands. It is the iron and iron that grows for more than a hundred years. This is the best wood for making gun rods. Good guns and good guns. I like it, which makes you worry..."
This gun is naturally a good gun, but it is far inferior to Yan Liqiang's big gun with Longji Steel. Of course, materials like Longji Steel are already treasures of nature, and few people in the entire Han Empire are qualified to use it. Yan Liqiang can have it, which is completely affected by his master's glory. In addition to Longji Steel, the long gun in front of him is already quite good among the wooden spears. The meteorite gun tip and gun rod, and the fine workmanship, without three to four thousand taels of silver, can't be taken down at all...
The officers were very satisfied when they heard Yan Liqiang telling the benefits of this gun, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. Several people raised money and bought materials and scrapped the gun. Before they came, the few people were really afraid that Yan Liqiang would not look down on the things they gave. These people planned to ask Yan Liqiang for help. It has been more than a day or two. They had just prepared the gun yesterday, and they had the chance to deliver it today.
"We also heard that in addition to the unparalleled bow, Lord Yan also has extremely high attainments in gun art. I saw that Lord Yan had no spears to make weapons these days, so I wanted to give him a spear. I hope he won't dislike it..."
"Hahaha, how could I dislike such a good gun? It's just being sent to my heart. To be honest, if you don't send it, I plan to go to the Imperial Capital in two days. After all, next month, I will accompany Your Majesty to leave the Imperial Capital and protect your Majesty. It's not okay to have any handy weapons in your hand. I'm really going to be sleepy, and someone came to send a pillow!" Yan Liqiang laughed generously, and while talking, he shook the spear twice and nodded with satisfaction, "Come on, don't stand, let's sit down, eat and chat..." Yan Liqiang put down his spear and greeted several people to sit down.
With such an opening, after a few people sat down, the atmosphere at the table suddenly became harmonious and warm.
After drinking for three rounds of cups and plates, the atmosphere in the room was already hot. Several officers had already said anything to Yan Liqiang and began to complain.
"Damn, we are the stepmothers. No matter what, we are also considered to be the ones who eat official food. They are all outside. When the family asks, they say that they are working at His Majesty and their faces are quite bright. But when this disaster comes, you know that in the eyes of His Majesty and the court, who is intimate, the Mambocy and the civil and military officials in the court can follow His Majesty south, saying that they are accompanying and guarding, we can only stay in this deer garden. If the heavenly tribulation is coming, what should we do?" Liu Xiaowei, who had drunk a lot of wine, his cheeks turned blue, and he was no longer as cautious as before, but was a little angry, "Mr. Yan, do you say that the court did this, isn't it forcing us to bury the heavenly tribulation?"
"That's right, we eat imperial food. The court really has orders. Even if we are asked to die, we will recognize it. But the family and the family in our family have not committed any crimes. In this imperial capital, all the dignitaries and noble families have left. The court doesn't care. When the children in our family are about to leave, the court starts to set up roads. If you really want to go to the government to handle it, it will not take it for a year. Our brothers and their families are all in the capital. If there is a heavenly disaster, wouldn't our family have all broken roots and completely die..." Meng Hui, the small flag officer guarding the gate of Luyuan today, also said angrily.
"The news of the great earthquake in Ganzhou was not mentioned in the imperial palace, but wasn't Ganzhou also shocked? And the news came from Ganzhou, which was exactly what the stone turtle said. When I thought of this these days, I didn't even have the intention to be a servant..."
"Mr. Yan, our brothers are all rough people, but even so, we know that we are all good at all. We all know that Lord Yan, you are different from us, and even more different from the ministers in the court. Lord Yan, you have real skills and true vision. There are no two people like Lord Yan who are as good as Master Yan, who are as good as Master Yan. Everyone says that Lord Yan, you can see Gods and Man in your dreams, and you can pass on the arts of Gods and Man. Master Yan, tell me, will the disaster that will come? We brothers just want to hear Lord Yan say the correct words, good heart is clear..." As soon as Lieutenant Liu spoke, the officers at the same table stopped their mouths and cheered up, and looked at Yan Liqiang with burning eyes.
