Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

Chapter 416: Hongmen Banquet

When Shen Mingyue heard this, her eyes widened, and she quickly grabbed Shen Chongshan's arm and said coquettishly:

"Cousin, I like Huo Jun. I have liked him since I was very young.

I just think he's incredibly handsome. He's one of the four most handsome men in Bianjing. I won't marry anyone but him!"

Shen Chongshan looked helpless, spread his hands, and advised earnestly:

"But if they don't like you, what can you do about it? Unless you put some thought into it.

How about this, I'll set up a trap in the military camp tomorrow and invite him to drink. You can act accordingly when the time comes.

I know Huo Jun well enough. If anything happens between you two, he won't ignore you."

Shen Mingyue's eyes lit up and she nodded hurriedly, her eyes full of anticipation and excitement, and she thanked him repeatedly.

The next morning, Huo Qing and his followers walked into the military camp where Huo Jun was located with an arrogant look on their faces.

As soon as they stepped in, everyone's faces showed undisguised disgust.

This military camp is completely different from the camps where they usually stay.

One of Huo Qing's men swaggered up to Huo Jun, a mocking smile on his face, and said in a sarcastic tone:

"Oh, General Huo, I didn't expect you to live in such a small tent. This entire camp is in such a dilapidated state!

Look at this tent, it's full of holes. I wonder if you can sleep well when it rains heavily."

He glanced sideways at the ragged soldiers around him. Their clothes were full of patches and looked shabby.

He couldn't help but shake his head exaggeratedly and continued, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, it seems that everyone in your barracks is almost starving to death. How pitiful!"

Huo Qing raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and looked at Huo Jun with a condescending attitude and said:

"Huo Jun, it's time for you to take a good look at the dire situation in your own barracks.

If you agree to this marriage with Shen Mingyue.

Perhaps General Shen, considering our relationship, will allocate a generous sum of money to you to improve your living conditions here!"

Huo Jun said coldly, "Don't bother with that. This matter has nothing to do with you. What exactly are you doing here?"

Huo Qing curled his lips, a hint of displeasure flashing across his face, but he still suppressed his emotions and said, "General Shen is hosting a banquet today. He said he has something important to discuss with you, and asked you to come over for a simple meal at noon."

Huo Jun's expression remained unchanged after hearing this. He simply said, "Since I've conveyed your message, please go back!"

When Huo Qing heard this, he immediately felt embarrassed. He snorted, shook his sleeves violently, and said loudly:

"Do you think I'm willing to come to your dirty, small, broken military camp?

If I hadn't been ordered to do so, I wouldn't have come!"

After saying that, he strode away without looking back.

Huo Jun changed into a suit, simple yet heroic.

Jiang Lin's brows twisted into the shape of the Chinese character "川":

"I always feel that Shen Chongshan has no good intentions. How could he invite you to drink for no reason?

Who knows what bad things he might be up to! "

Huo Jun nodded slightly: "I will go find Master Bai first and discuss it with him."

After saying that, he walked towards Master Bai's tent.

Master Bai sneered upon hearing this, his eyes gleaming with caution. "Suddenly asking you to drink? I think you should be more careful, or you might end up attending a Hongmen Feast."

Huo Jun couldn't help but frown, looking puzzled: "What on earth do they want to do?"

Master Bai slowly shook his head and sighed:

“Who can guess what people’s hearts are like?

Otherwise, you can take the candy with you. It can keep you safe at the critical moment."

Huo Jun looked down at Naitang: "That's it? Can it protect me?"

Master Bai explained with a smile:

"Don't underestimate Naitang, he has many spies and will definitely protect you if you are in danger.

Also, bring some emergency medicine with you, just in case you get tricked by someone else."

Huo Jun nodded, carefully put the candy into his arms, hid the prepared medicine bag in his sleeve, and then took Jiang Lin to Shen Chongshan's tent.

Inside the tent, Shen Chongshan's men were drinking and playing drinking games, and the scene was very noisy.

Seeing Huo Jun come in, a burly man with a face full of flesh sneered and said sarcastically, "Oh, General Huo, you're so arrogant! Since you're here for dinner, you've made us all wait for you. You're really arrogant!"

Huo Jun looked indifferent as he looked at the big man calmly: "I didn't ask you to wait. If you are hungry, just eat first."

Shen Chongshan stood up with a smile and waved his hand:

"Okay, stop arguing.

Huo Jun, come and sit down quickly, this is all prepared for you."

Huo Jun looked up and saw a table in the middle of the tent. The most eye-catching thing was a whole lamb roasted to a golden and crispy texture. The skin was shining with an attractive oil and the aroma was so strong that people couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

When Jiang Lin saw the roasted whole lamb, he didn't care about etiquette and sat down and started eating.

He tore into the mutton with big mouthfuls, his mouth stained with oil. He stopped from time to time to sniff the aroma in the air and sighed with satisfaction: "Oh, it's been a long time since I had a roasted whole lamb. Thank you, General!"

Next to it was a steamed river fish, the fish body was carefully cut into several pieces, and shredded green onions and ginger were spread on the fish. The rich aroma went straight into the people's nostrils.

There are also several exquisite side dishes placed around, with a good combination of meat and vegetables, some are refreshing and delicious, while others are salty and tasty.

There were also two pots of wine, each carved with delicate patterns. The lids were half-closed, and the rich aroma of the wine wafted out.

Jiang Lin's eyes lit up. He poured himself a full glass of wine without hesitation, raised the glass to his nose, took a deep breath, and couldn't help but exclaim:

"Wow, this wine is really special! It's the best Huadiao! You guys are so particular about your food.

Unlike our military camp, I haven’t tasted meat for over a year.”

Shen Chongshan said hypocritically:

"You've worked hard lately, so hurry up and eat more. We got all these things from the mountains ourselves.

Thinking of your hard work during this period, I specially rewarded you. Actually, we haven't eaten such a good meal in a long time."

In fact, Shen Chongshan was lying with his eyes open.

The army he was in received supplies from Da Qi every month.

The amount of supplies distributed by Da Qi varied, but the amount of supplies distributed to an army of over 100,000 was quite considerable.

Someone suddenly put down his chopsticks and shouted at the top of his voice:

"Giving it to these two ungrateful wolves would be worse than feeding it to dogs!

A dog will wag its tail to show gratitude after eating, but they are so different, they are still nagging and asking questions while eating our food. Do they really think we have an easy life?

Another lean soldier immediately agreed. He stood up, his face flushed with excitement:

"We've been eating coarse food for the past few months, and our mouths are almost dry. We haven't tasted meat in a long time.

Do you know how much effort the general put into preparing these dishes for us? He even sold his own jade pendant!"
