Wang Heng's eyes were fixed on Xu An, who was drinking a cup of wine, and then his wary gaze turned to Gao Deng, who was also looking at him with narrowed eyes in the general's seat.
Suddenly he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell. The general drank a glass of fine wine in front of him and Gordon sat on the seat. Under the shining lights, their eyes looked strange and seemed to be unkind.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Heng temporarily suppressed his panic. Even if the gourd was not poisonous, no one, including the soldiers in the patrol and the generals, could stop him, let alone the fact that he was carrying these people. The elite in the door.
When the general invited him to the military banquet, he had already ordered him to go down and let his men wait for his orders. When he heard the shouts of killing in the general's camp, he immediately killed the soldiers in the camp.
Thinking of this, Wang Heng looked at the wine and barbecue in front of him with a trace of regret. If it hadn't been poisoned, he would have really wanted to taste this delicious food.
After Xu An finished drinking a cup of wine, he saw the general's "distinguished guest" just sitting quietly, his eyes flashing, as if he was in a trance, and showed no sign of raising his cup to drink with him. Although there was a military order from Gao Deng, he first stabilized this person and then captured him. However, the other party did not give him any face, so Xu An couldn't help but feel unhappy.
He snorted coldly and was about to get angry when he heard a voice of praise from the general behind him.
"This taste is truly a delicacy on earth."
Originally he wanted to send Xu An to test it out, but when he saw that Wang Heng was unwilling to drink, Gao Deng secretly said that the other party was indeed cautious, and seeing that Xu An's upright temper was about to break out, he thought of it, so he served delicious rabbit meat to temporarily ease the awkward atmosphere in the tent. .
It was this sound that awakened Xu An from his anger, and he cursed himself secretly. Impulsively, he almost ruined the general's important affairs. He suppressed his anger, bowed his fist to the young man in snow clothes, and retreated to his seat.
"Sir, do you really want to try this rabbit meat wine? We will be marching all night soon." Gordon once again picked up the carving knife, cut off a piece of rabbit meat, stuffed it into his mouth, closed his eyes and enjoyed it, as if he was savoring the tenderness of the rabbit meat. slip.
Seeing that both Gao Deng and the general were already eating meat and drinking wine, Wang Heng showed a sinister smile on his face, clasped his fists and spoke, trying to drag them down until they became angry: "General Gao is really out of sight. He has been patrolling the army for a while. Japan, there are chefs with such superb cooking skills in the army, why don’t you recommend them to me..."
Gordon narrowed his eyes. Although he didn't know what kind of medicine Wang Heng was selling in the gourd, to avoid suspicion, he threw the meat cleaver aside, picked up the wine bottle, stood up and walked to Wang Heng's side.
Seeing his empty wine cup, a light flashed in his eyes. He turned back to the cook Lao Jin who was standing silently in the corner of the tent and said: "Lao Jin, you old boy, I am not talking about you, even our distinguished guest, I’m all complaining about you. I didn’t show you this kind of skill a long time ago, but now I’ve made the young master angry, so please come and make amends.”
Lao Jin, who was standing in the corner of the tent, didn't know about the invisible confrontation and test between his general and the "distinguished guest". He only knew that his general was really angry and hurriedly crawled in front of the two of them, begging for mercy.
"General...general, distinguished guest...this...today, I am not a villain...but...a villain willing to accept military law."
Lao Jin was an honest and friendly person. When he heard the general's rebuke, he wanted to report the truth that the roasted rabbit was not his own. However, his eyes moved slightly and he glanced at the young man behind him. He saw him shaking his head slightly and thought to himself that it was about poisoning. Concerned about the safety of the envoy and the patrolling troops, Lao Jin gritted his teeth and trembled, wanting to take the blame.
Others didn't know it, but Xu An knew clearly that the roast rabbit was made by the young waiter. When he saw Lao Jin being scolded, he was about to explain for him, but saw Gao Deng raising his hand to stop him.
Gao Deng was a good man. He only glanced at Lao Jin hesitantly and knew something was fishy. He stopped Xu An and followed Lao Jin's slightly backward glance.
The black-faced young waiter stood in the corner of the tent, still bowing his head and saying nothing. Although he looked thin, his body was like a gun, and he did not have the cowardly posture of ordinary waiters and cooks in the general's tent. On the contrary, this Everyone in the tent seemed more calm.
Wang Heng also followed Gao Deng's gaze and looked at the dark-faced boy. He felt more and more that something was fishy here. Although he was confident, he felt uneasy in his heart, secretly thinking that Elder Xu would arrive in time.
Looking at Wang Heng's uncertain expression next to him, Gordon's small eyes keenly caught the changes in his expression. In order to continue to stabilize Wang Heng, his face trembled, and he put on a smile and looked at the young man in the corner of the tent and said with a smile. .
"No wonder, no wonder, this general thought it was Lao Jin who had a new trick. It turns out that there is another young chef in our army."
I had been suspicious of this young baker before, but at that time I was focused on capturing Wang Heng. Now that I want to stabilize Wang Heng, I just want to take advantage of the opportunity to find out the details of this young baker. Killing two birds with one stone, Gao Deng is naturally happy. .
"Babyboy, come forward and answer me." Gordon calmed down and called.
Gu Xiao originally planned to wait in the tent for the young man in snow clothes to take advantage of the opportunity of waiting nearby. Unexpectedly, he became the focus of several people in the tent. His heart moved slightly and he had already made up his mind.
He quickly put on the same cowardly posture as Lao Jin just now. He could not be said to be rolling and crawling, but he could also be regarded as having garlic under his feet. These few steps made Gu Xiao go through ups and downs, shaky... In the end, he looked like an old man. Like gold, he knelt down in front of the fat general and spoke tremblingly.
"General...general, greeting...my distinguished guest."
Gordon didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Could it be that he had misjudged the young waiter? Generally speaking, he is shocked and scared, and his expression does not seem to be fake.
Shaking his head slightly, Gao Deng secretly said: "I have been pretending to be stupid for a long time. It seems that others are pretending to be stupid and are stunned. I think the sergeants and soldiers of the army are all ready, so I will take this opportunity to capture Wang Heng."
Although he thought so in his heart, Gordon's wariness did not retreat. He opened his mouth to test the young man kneeling in front of him and said: "Don't worry, I just think that your rabbit meat is very tender and delicious when roasted. I pride myself on treating the patrolling soldiers." I understand quite a bit, but I don’t know when there were chefs like you who are good at barbecue in the army, and when you joined the army."
"Back to the general... I have just joined the army not long ago. I have been following Mr. Jin to help cook in the kitchen... I have been poor since I was a child. When I was a child, I often hunted rabbits and deer in the mountains. Ah, it satisfies hunger, so I am more skillful. When it comes to cooking... I have not learned it yet."
Gu Xiao had already prepared his words, and continued to pretend to be timid and spoke truthfully, but in his reply, he deliberately exposed a flaw so that the fat general could notice it on his own.
If a lie is to be believed, it must be 30% true and 70% false.
The young man's words were reasonable, but Gordon also heard some flaws in the young man's words. The sentence "Always follow the watch...Master Jin..." already told Gordon who led this young waiter. Into the patrol garrison.
Only my cook, Lao Jin, could make the generals and soldiers dare not complain to him. The young man's half-sentence sentence must have been "I have been following my cousin Lao Jin...". It was just because he was worried that Lao Jin would be punished, so he temporarily changed his title.
Lao Jin has always followed him and will not bring any random people into the camp. Gordon still trusts Lao Jin in this regard. After thinking about it for a while, he lowered his guard against the young man. In this case, he took this opportunity to take action...
Withdrawing his thoughts, Gordon said to Lao Jin and the young man who were kneeling on the ground: "Okay, I can trust Lao Jin as a person. From now on, I will follow your cousin and serve in the army."
Hearing this, Gu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that he finally got through this. Lao Jin beside him was full of shame. He didn't want to deceive his general, but the person who was responsible for the poisoning in the young man's mouth has not yet been exposed. , I could only endure the guilt in my heart and kowtow to thank Gordon.
I originally thought that if General Gao would be angered by this, I would come forward to intercede for Lao Jin. Seeing that Gao Deng did not hold Lao Jin accountable for bringing people into the patrol without authorization, Xu An was relieved.
"Commander Xu, we have also explained the reason for this to the young master. Just now, the young master does not want to sell your face to drink. This time, the general will raise a glass with you. Let me toast the young master." Seeing this little episode, he seemed to be lowered. Overcoming Wang Heng's wariness, Gao Deng calculated in his mind that the time was ripe. He immediately turned around and went to the general's seat, filled a cup of wine, looked back and spoke to Xu An.
Xu An watched General Gao pour the wine and already understood his intention. He then turned around and went to fill the wine cup in front of his seat, but his eyes burst out with murderous intent and glanced at the young man in snow clothes behind him.
Wang Heng has been following Wang Yan in Qiyun's Jianghu since he was a child. Although Gao Deng was fine, Wang Heng could clearly sense the chilling aura emanating from General Xu. 33
I originally wanted to delay the time until the two of them were poisoned, but unexpectedly, due to a strange combination of circumstances, the two waiters bought a lot of time for themselves.
Thinking that it was almost time for the poison to take effect, he watched Gao Deng and Xu An holding up the wine cups. If he refused again, he might arouse the suspicion of the two of them. Wang Heng kept hoping that the two of them would take the poison as soon as possible, and turned towards the table. Next to him, he slowly filled a glass of "good wine" for himself.
"Sir, let's drink this fine wine together."
Gordon looked at Wang Heng's unwillingness to pour the wine and couldn't help but sneer. He was a dignified Yanbei patrol general, but he could still poison his wine. Thinking in my heart, the coldness in my small eyes showed slightly, and the hand holding the cup did not lift to my lips, but slowly moved to my side...
In one breath, Gordon's cold eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he was about to loosen his grip on the wine cup... Under the tent, Xu An held the wine cup with one hand, and the other hand was slowly stroking the saber on his waist. .
The actions of these two people have long been in Wang Heng's eyes. Although there is still a faint smile on the corners of his lips, murderous intent is already in Wang Heng's eyes, and he keeps scanning towards the two of them.
There was a roar of wind in the patrolling army, and there was a murderous intention in the general's camp.
Only Lao Jin, who was still kneeling under the tent, didn't know what was happening in the tent. He had long forgotten Xu An's instructions to "leave the tent". He only felt a chill on his spine, and even the hairs on his hands stood up. When he was about to ask the young man next to him, he suddenly heard the sound of wild laughter outside the tent.
"With such a fine wine, why don't you let me honor the two generals for my son?"
Hearing this, Gao Deng, who was in the position of general, changed his face slightly, and immediately held the wine cup that was about to be released tightly in his hand. Xu An didn't know why the general didn't throw the cup, so he quickly looked at him and received Gordon's slight shake of his head. Knowing that something had changed, he loosened the handle of the knife in his hand, drank the wine, and sat down slowly.
In just a moment, the curtain of the main general's tent was blown up by a strong wind, and a figure came in with the wind.
It stands to reason that if the winter wind penetrates into the tent, the candles in the big tent will be blown out by the strong wind. However, this person has settled down, and the candlelight in the tent does not move at all.
Not only that, Lao Jin's back was already cold, but as the man stood still, the chill no longer existed. In just a moment, he felt that the temperature in the tent was much higher. After a while, hot sweat had soaked his back. Under the alternation of hot and cold, Lao Jin felt his chest became tight and he gasped for air.
Seeing the person clearly, Gordon's eyes, which were originally full of cold murderous intent, narrowed, replaced with his previous flattering smile, and said to the person: "I didn't expect Elder Xu to finish the young master's errand so quickly... "
The person who came was none other than Xu Mo, who was ordered to capture Yang Huchen. Halfway through, he saw the Jindao Sect's only sect, Ling Jian, and knew that things had changed with the young master. Before leaving, the sect master had told him to protect the young master and ignore the rest. , returned after seeing the order, and came all the way.
After hearing Gao Deng's flattering words, Xu Mo didn't buy it. With a smile on his lips, he walked up to his young master. His eyes moved slightly, and he glanced at the meat and wine on the table. He exerted his inner strength slightly, and after a little investigation, the smile on his lips became more intense. Sheng.
He took the wine cup from Wang Heng's hand, raised his glass to the two Gordons and spoke.
"On behalf of the young master, I would like to propose a toast to both of you."
Some people died, but not completely...
