Wu Sangui stopped when he was about to leave. Unexpectedly, the people brought by Yuan Chonghuan were still knowledgeable. Shanhaiguan himself fought bravely and dared to be second. No one dared to be first.
Yuan Chonghuan looked at Hu Yunqing, wondering what the Lord wanted to do, but since the Lord had spoken, there must be a purpose.
"Okay, now that Mr. Hu has said it, General Wu will stay."
There are not a few people in the army who support Wu Sangui now. Even though Yuan Chonghuan is very unhappy with him now, there is nothing he can do to make the military camp unstable or allow Jian Nu to succeed.
"yes."
Wu Sangui found an empty seat and sat down, looking outside absentmindedly.
At noon, the cook brought out all the food and wine.
"Master Hu, brothers, the food in my military camp cannot keep up with the food in the capital. Let's make ends meet."
Yuan Chonghuan not only hosted a banquet for Hu Yunqing, but also several guards of Han Kedihuan. The latter were also his brothers who had known each other by fate. Yuan Chonghuan loved making friends and did not care about his background.
This is what makes these guards love talking to him.
"General, you keep calling him Mr. Hu, may I ask who this is?"
Wang Hu has always been straight-tempered. Looking at the young man sitting opposite him, he looked at Yuan Chonghuan with some confusion and asked.
After all, Yuan Chonghuan is also the general of this tens of thousands of troops. This is still in his own territory, so there is no need to be so humble.
"Don't be rude! This Lord Hu is the Minister of War and the Marquis of Dingbei appointed by His Majesty."
Hearing Wang Hu being so rude, Yuan Chonghuan scolded him loudly and introduced Hu Yunqing's identity to the generals present.
Listening to Yuan Chonghuan introducing himself, Hu Yunqing just smiled without saying anything more and continued to sip the wine in the glass.
All the generals stared wide-eyed. They had never seen such a young official before. This was not the most surprising thing. What surprised them most was that he was the Marquis at such a young age.
"Humph, Marquis of Dingbei? Isn't it a bit inappropriate to receive this honor without ever being to Shanhaiguan?"
Wu Sangui, who had been eating and drinking outside the door, snorted and raised a question.
After listening to Wu Sangui's words, Wang Hu, who had always been at odds with him, was also dissatisfied with the court's decision and looked at Hu Yunqing opposite him as if nothing had happened.
In his mind, the only candidate for Beihou was Yuan Chonghuan, who had been guarding the border.
After Wu Sangui said this, the smell of gunpowder in the entire tent became stronger.
"What are you doing! If Master Hu hadn't defended me in front of His Majesty, I would have been executed long ago! Your Excellency canonizes Dingbei Hou, I, Yuan Chonghuan, raise my hands in approval!"
Yuan Chonghuan, who was sitting in the main seat, also felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere and looked to Wang Hu and others on the right.
Realizing that they were staring at Hu Yunqing as if they wanted to eat him, they quickly slapped the table with their hands.
Wang Hu and others came to their senses and looked at Yuan Chonghuan.
"General, I refuse to accept it! Dingbeihou can only be yours!"
Wang Hu is a straight man, he never beats around the bush, he just says what he has to say, he stood up and said to Yuan Chonghuan with his fists clasped.
The other generals sat in their original positions without making any movement. Wu Sangui, who was sitting and drinking, had a smile on his lips. He didn't expect that he could alienate the relationship between Hu Yunqing and Yuan Chonghuan with just two words. If he wanted to see this, scene.
As a die-hard loyalist of Hu Yunqing, Juan was quite dissatisfied when he saw the other party talking like this. He was about to stand up and argue, but Hu Yunqing raised his hand to stop him.
"shut up!"
When Yuan Chonghuan heard Wang Hu's words, he wanted to shut his mouth quickly. If he didn't know that Wang Hu was loyal to him and thought that the other party was going to kill him, he quickly scolded him loudly to prevent him from continuing to speak.
He looked at Hu Yunqing and found that there was no anger on the latter's face, and he was relieved in his heart.
"It's okay, I don't care about this."
After noticing that everyone was looking at him, Hu Yunqing said with a smile.
Hu Yunqing knew very well that most of the people here were Yuan Chonghuan's subordinates. It was normal to feel unfair, and there was no need to argue with them.
If you really care about these things with the other party, you will fall into someone's trap.
"Don't mention this matter again. Today is the day when the general comes back. Let's raise a toast to the general!"
Wang Hu's younger brother Wang Bao, who was sitting next to him, quickly stood up with a wine glass and said to smooth things over.
"Come, drink."
Yuan Chonghuan, who didn't know what to do at first, heard Wang Bao trying to smooth things over for him, and quickly raised his glass with a smile.
Wang Hu was still a little dissatisfied. Yuan Chonghuan winked at Wang Bao, who quickly put the wine glass into Wang Hu's hand.
"Master Hu, don't be angry, my subordinate is like this, but he definitely has no other intentions."
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Yuan Chonghuan drank a little too much and walked to Hu Yunqing's side, holding a wine glass and speaking to him.
"It's okay. General Wang Hu speaks quickly, which is better than those villains who only beat around the bush."
Hu Yunqing didn't take this matter to heart at all, and said to him with a smile, while looking at Wu Sangui who was sitting and drinking.
Why didn't Wu Sangui understand the meaning of Hu Yunqing's words? He was just making fun of himself.
Feeling that the wine in the cup was tasteless, he left the tent alone.
"General, why did you come out early?"
Li Su, who had been waiting at the door, looked at Wu Sangui walking out and saw that he was still drinking inside, and asked him with some confusion.
"I can't drink anymore, so I'll come out!"
Wu Sangui glanced at Li Su, said something and walked angrily towards his residence.
"I'm so angry! Ah!"
Wu Sangui, who returned to his tent, took his knife Feng Kang and chopped down the items in the tent.
"General, calm down!"
When his men saw that Wu Sangui was about to cut off the white tiger skin, they quickly hugged Wu Sangui from behind and persuaded him.
"No! This is your favorite."
The white tiger skin is Wu Sangui's most cherished thing. If it is damaged now, he will definitely regret it in the future.
"Go, send me someone to the capital to investigate who this Hu Yunqing is."
After gradually calming down, Wu Sangui looked at the surroundings he had smashed, sat on the chair tiredly, looked at Li Su in front of him and gave orders.
"Don't worry, General. I've sent people there a long time ago, and we'll have results soon."
When Li Su left the main tent, he sent his cronies to the capital. He saw that Hu Yunqing was planning to stay in Shanhaiguan for a long time, and he must find out the details of the other party. It was ready without waiting for instructions.
"You have done something that satisfies me."
Hearing that it had been arranged long ago, Wu Sangui also breathed a sigh of relief and said to him with satisfaction.
