Chapter 2058 Prepare to Plot Against You

Jiang Wangang said: "Shizi Shen is too proud of my general. The Marquis is my top, and his soldiers are naturally better than mine. This lantern of peace for the country and the people must be won by the Marquis."

Jiang Wangang was very happy today. When he was just having dinner, the Marquis personally announced that he wanted to marry his sister Rong as his eldest daughter-in-law. The generals, adults and nobles present congratulated him one after another, making him feel very proud!

To be honest, he only has one daughter, so he naturally hopes that his daughter's marriage can be settled openly and openly, and not just the two families know that such a secretive engagement is too uncelebrated.

And when he was happy, he naturally had to help the Marquis, even if he belittled himself, it was okay.

The eldest son of the Shen family smiled: "General Jiang, what you said is modest. You are a first-class general personally appointed by His Majesty. The number of troops in charge is second only to that of Lord Xu. Moreover, General Jiang has great military exploits and has elite soldiers and generals under his command." There are countless, and it’s hard to say who will end up with this lantern of Guotai Minan.”

"The general is still conscientious and dedicated. He has been leading troops to guard Du Chong Valley, eating and lodging with the soldiers, lying beside Du Chong Valley and watching the bandits..." After saying this, the master of the Shen family stood up and saluted General Jiang. Said: "General Jiang is not afraid of poisonous insects, endures the wind and snow, and eats bran pickled vegetables. He leads the troops to guard the poisonous insects ditch and protect our peace. He is indeed a man of great merit and righteousness. I admire you very much. Please accept my worship!"

Damn it, what is this guy named Shen doing? have you had enough? Isn't he afraid of death?

Xu You was furious. Fortunately, the bottle he was holding was a bronze wine bottle. If it had been another ceramic cup, it would have been shattered by the force of his palm.

Jiang Wangang frowned: "Shizi Shen is serious. This is the general's responsibility, and it cannot be considered a great achievement."

Ha, the uncle of the Shen family sneered in his heart, looking down on Jiang Wankang. Do you really like to be Xu You's dog slave? You are obviously a general conferred by the emperor, and your status is not low. You can be on an equal footing with Xu You.

If you don't go against Xu You and you still treat him like a dog, I really don't know what's wrong with your mind?

The uncle of the Shen family scolded Jiang Wangang severely in his heart.

Manager Shen was afraid that the eldest son of the Shen family would conspire to kill him, so he quickly reminded with a smile: "Sir, it's getting late, so let's invite the soldiers from both sides to compete."

Uncle Shen nodded, opened a small box in Manager Shen's hand, took out a plate-sized chime and a small hammer, came to Xu You's seat, handed the things to Xu You, and said with a smile: "Master Hou , this is the bell left by the founding princess, it was given by Emperor Jingwu, please ring the bell to start the ceremony."

Zhongqing is an instrument similar to chimes. It has been popular since the Zhou Dynasty. It was once one of the must-have musical instruments in the homes of nobles in the capital. It was not until Emperor Jingwu became popular that bells and chimes slowly disappeared.

Even if Xu You was angry again, he did not dare not to pick up the things left by Emperor Jingwu. He stood up and took the bell, but he did not ring it immediately. Instead, he said to General Cheng who had been silent for the whole time: "General Zhenxi, you He is also a hero in the war, and it is a rare opportunity to come to the Daokougou camp, so that your soldiers can also compete in the competition to compete for the peace and prosperity of the country, how about it?"

General Cheng didn’t even want to come to the table, but his rank was lower than that of Xu You. There were some things on the defense line that he had to cooperate with Xu You and General Jiang. After thinking about it, he nodded and said, “It’s natural to send someone for such a happy event. Get involved and make a scene.”

He ordered ten people to compete in the competition to win the lanterns.

Xu You was happy. After the three parties were ready, he used a small hammer to ring the bell.

Ding ding ding!

The crisp and melodious sound of the chime sounded, and after nine beats, Xu You said: "The one who captures the fish paste wax on the flagpole is the winner. Come in and let the competition begin!"

With an order, the soldiers from the three parties rushed into the field and started fighting each other with their bare hands. However, the soldiers under Xu You's command were obviously letting off steam.

Jiang Wankang watched for a while, realized what Xu You meant, and gave a signal to the soldiers under his command. After the soldiers saw the gesture, they slowly began to react, and specifically caught the soldiers under Xu You's command to fight.

The final result was that Jiang Wangang and Xu You's soldiers were both injured. General Cheng's soldiers picked up the leak and won the fish paste wax.

"General Zhenxi's army has won!" Xu Liang announced loudly, congratulating General Cheng: "Congratulations to General Zhenxi for winning the Guotai Min'an Deng. The soldiers under your command are indeed brave."

You brave ass, do you think we are dead people? How can you not tell when we are so obvious?

The uncle of the Shen family looked ugly, but what could he say? Could it be said that the competition between you two is too weak, so let’s not count it and compete again?

General Cheng was most annoyed by intrigues and did not want to waste time with them, so he nodded and acknowledged the result: "I'll give in, I'll give in."

Then he said to the eldest son of the Shen family: "Prince Shen, I want to discuss something with you. I wonder if you can agree?"

The uncle of the Shen family had no objection to General Cheng. After hearing this, he said, "General Zhenxi, please tell me."

General Cheng said: "The Guotai Min'an lantern was left to the descendants of the Shen family by the founding princess. It is of great significance. We can't take it away. Can we exchange this lottery prize for 10,000 taels of silver and give it to the soldiers... Can this silver be used?" It helped them a lot, enough to save ten of their families, allowing them to sit back and relax and concentrate on fighting the war."

General Cheng's words were touching, and Uncle Shen agreed: "General Zhenxi sincerely considers the soldiers. I admire you and am willing to comply."

Then he said: "I don't have that many banknotes with me. After the banquet is over, can General Zhenxi go back with me to get it?"

This was a bit stupid to say, and General Cheng didn't agree: "Don't worry, Prince Shen can find a time and send someone to deliver it to us."

He picked up the wine glass again and said to Xu You and Jiang Wangang: "Thank you, Lord Marquis, for the concession, and thank you, General, for the concession."

Obviously he doesn't want to get involved in the affairs of the Shen, Xu, and Jiang families.

Prince Shen was a little angry, but this matter was indeed a embarrassment for him, so he could only ask Manager Shen to go back and get the banknotes.

Manager Shen rushed to get the banknote before the banquet was over, and Prince Shen personally took it to General Cheng.

After General Cheng accepted it, he didn't stay long, said goodbye to Xu You and Jiang Wangang, and took the people away overnight.

Xu You was very satisfied and decided not to embarrass himself for the time being as a general.

As for the Shen family uncle, Xu You has already thought of how to use him.

Xu You said to Jiang Wankang, "I'm afraid that Crown Prince Shen's bad temper has not gone away. I'll see him off and ask him again, how can I get rid of his anger?"

Jiang Wankang felt deeply that it was not easy for Xu You, so he nodded and said: "Master Marquis, go ahead. No need to send me off. I will start back to Du Chonggou right now. During the Lantern Festival tonight, the bandits may raid in the middle of the night."

Xu You said: "...Old Jiang, I have wronged you."

Jiang Wankang smiled and said: "It's not that you are wronged, but you are really wronged because the Marquis has to deal with such villains."

Oh, you really think about Xu You. Did you know that he is planning to plot against you again?

Xu You smiled bitterly and sighed: "This is nothing, after all, he is a relative of the emperor."

After saying this, Jiang Wankang became angry...the bullshit royal relatives are just a bunch of bastards who eat nothing but corpses. When they become adults, they must make these royal relatives spit out all the people's fat they have eaten!

"Old Jiang, don't get excited." Xu You patted Jiang Wangang on the shoulder and arranged for someone to send him out. He finally left the tent and went to see Uncle Shen off in person.
