Qiao Mingtang said with a faint smile: "Although his martial arts are not weak, the governor does not believe that he can escape from the prison so easily."

"Oh?" Feng Polu was taken aback.

Qiao Mingtang sneered and said: "Wei Tianqing has been in Yunshan for many years, most of the soldiers and horses in Yunshan are under his command, and his connections in Yunshan are not weak. The Governor is afraid that there are his accomplices in the prison, and someone deliberately releases him go out."

Feng Polu and the other officials were all taken aback, Xiao Moyun had already said: "Master Hou, this is not impossible, Wei Tianqing is usually a hypocritical person, maybe it was really him who bewitched the jailer, and the jailer opened his eyes... ..!"

"In the final analysis, it's all the fault of the governor." Qiao Mingtang sighed, "The governor misjudged the wrong person... Last night, I prepared a letter of pleading guilty to the imperial court and sent it to Ruo Da Prison. The jailers involved in this matter, the governor, have also been imprisoned, waiting for the will of the Holy One."

Feng Polu nodded slightly, and said: "Wei Tianqing is outrageous, Governor Qiao can rest assured that this Marquis will also report to the imperial court and explain the whole story to the Holy One. This matter has nothing to do with Governor Qiao."

Qiao Mingtang cupped his hands in gratitude and said, "Then I have to thank Lord Hou."

"Being an official in the same dynasty, of course we can't let the Governor-General suffer unfair injustice." Feng Polu smiled and said: "Just going to the banquet tonight, if you don't explain the important things clearly, it is considered a delicacy, and this Marquis will not be able to eat it well. "

"Master Hou is talking about grain and grass, hahaha...!" Qiao Mingtang said: "Master Hou, don't worry, I will send someone to deliver a batch of grain and grass at dawn tomorrow, so that Master Hou can at least sustain himself." Last month...!" Without waiting for Feng Polu to speak, Qiao Mingtang had already continued: "Don't think too little, Lord Hou, this is just a temporary delivery, and I will do my best to find a way for the next food and grass. In front of everyone today, I just want to say one thing. Lord Hou is in front of the battle. I will be responsible for all the food and grass. Insufficient and the army lost, then I will be the first to plead guilty to the court, and I will wipe my own neck without an order from the Holy Spirit."

When Feng Polu heard the words, he immediately clapped his hands and said: "Okay, Governor Qiao is bold. As long as this sentence is said, there is not much else to say. From now on, we will join hands with each other to resist the rebels." Looking around, he said: " Tonight we won't go home until we're drunk, and anyone who doesn't get drunk will run away halfway, don't blame me for not being sympathetic."

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this.

Qiao Mingtang suddenly stood up and clapped his hands. Everyone didn't know what Qiao Mingtang wanted to do, but five people came up from downstairs, each holding a box, big and small, long and short, Feng Polu Asked: "Governor Joe, this is...!"

Qiao Mingtang said with a smile: "Qiao likes to collect antiques on weekdays, here are a few things, I would like to ask Lord Hou to take a look." He raised his hand like a person waving, the person came over, Qiao Mingtang pointed at the box and said with a smile: "Master Hou also knows what's inside?"

Feng Polu shook his head and said, "This Marquis doesn't have the eyes of the sky, so I really can't guess."

Qiao Mingtang opened the box carefully, and even more carefully took out something from it. At this time, the sky had already darkened, and the surroundings had been lit. Under the firelight, it was dazzlingly dazzling. It turned out to be a lion made of white jade. The workmanship is fine and lifelike, if only this is the case, it is not rare, but the lion's eyes are clearly inlaid with precious stones, shining brightly.

"This is?" Feng Polu was taken aback.

Qiao Mingtang laughed and said: "This is called the white jade fire-eyed lion. Lord Hou said that there is no sky eye, so this fire-eyed lion was given to Lord Hou. It is also a wish of our Xishan officials and people."

Feng Polu immediately laughed and said, "How dare you dare such a precious thing!"

"It's finished, let Hou Ye take it back and enjoy it slowly." Qiao Mingtang carefully put the white jade fire-eyed lion back into the box, and glanced at the four barbarians, only to see these four people staring at Baiyu. The fire-eyed lion couldn't leave its eyes even if it was put in the box. The four pairs of eyes were full of greed.

"Four Wanhus, here are some gadgets for you too." Qiao Mingtang winked, and the servants who were holding the boxes had already opened the boxes.

Everyone looked over and saw that the four things were all golden, and the three of them were not much different. They were the golden mouse, the golden snake and the golden goat. , but it is a dagger with a golden sheath.

The four ten thousand households stood up one after another, with excitement in their eyes.

"This is a gadget made by the best master in Xishan." Qiao Mingtang said: "Originally there was a golden dog, but the golden dog was not finished yet, but the master was seriously ill, and it was difficult to recover for a while. Originally, the four This gift is for four thousand households, but without a golden dog, there is really no other way but to take out this brave blade, which is also a gift that the governor can afford."

"Brave Blade?" A Wanhu turned his head.

Qiao Mingtang said with a smile: "This dagger is a very ancient weapon. It is said that it was made by a mysterious craftsman. It is said that only true warriors possessing it can bring it back to life, and only true warriors are worthy of it. It..., Ben Du is a literati, and he doesn't understand these things, if anyone likes the four, he can accept it."

Van Persie stretched out his hand without saying a word, but before touching the dagger, Ibrahimovic had already reached out and grabbed Van Persie's wrist.

Van Persie was taken aback, his face was ferocious, and he said sharply, "What are you doing?"

"This is a brave blade, and only true warriors are worthy of it." Ibrahimovic sneered, "Are you braver than me?"

The two of them are still arguing, but Shu Wutai on the side has already taken the opportunity to reach out to hold the dagger in his hand, but An Lei on the side has also grabbed Shu Wutai's hand, and said sharply: "This is mine, leave it to me! "

Shuwutai said angrily: "I am a real warrior, so the blade of courage will naturally belong to me...!"

They obviously all speak the Central Plains dialect, but the pronunciation is not very accurate, everyone present can understand that they are in the Central Plains, but these people are still arguing in the half-familiar Central Plains dialect.

It's just that a few Xishan officials were a little surprised when they saw this, thinking that although the outer sheath of the brave blade is made of gold, its weight seems to be inferior to the other three golden beasts. It may not be stronger than those golden beasts made of pure gold.

But at this moment, the four of them obviously dismissed the golden beast, and they all tried their best to get the dagger.

Most of the people present were civil servants, so they naturally didn't understand the attraction of weapons to warriors.

If it was just an ordinary weapon, it might not cause the four barbarian generals to start a dispute in full view, but when the four of them heard Qiao Mingtang say that this dagger was called the Brave Blade, and only warriors deserved to have it, they immediately aroused the four The competitive heart of man.

The barbarians are notoriously competitive. Not only are they fierce and brutal to the outside world, but even among their own tribe, they value bravery more than anything else. The best compliment to a barbarian is to praise him for being brave and strong. The most taboo thing for barbarians is when others slander their bravery. Once they suffer such insults, they don't even need their lives.

These four Wanhu, who were able to serve as the commanders-in-chief of various tribes and came to the Central Plains from Mobei, are themselves first-class warriors of their tribes, so they naturally cherish their brave names even more.

Now in their eyes, Brave Blade is not just a simple dagger, but a recognition of their bravery. The four of them all call themselves Barbarian Warriors, so naturally they are not willing to fall behind others.

Moreover, the barbarian tribes already have the habit of fighting. On the Mobei prairie, these tribes have long fought bloody battles with each other. Although they are all dispatched by the Qin State now, the battle between them has never disappeared. Although they are powerful, they don't have too many flirts. Once their temper comes up, it is difficult for anyone to subdue them.

The four glared at each other, and they were about to start fighting for a dagger, but Feng Polu frowned, and shouted in a cold voice, "How decent is Cheng, don't stop!"

Feng Polu obviously still had the power to intimidate these barbarians, he yelled, and the four of them stopped, but Qiao Mingtang smiled wryly: "It's all my fault, the four of you all fell in love with the dagger , This...hey, it’s really not going to work, I’ll go find a few better weapons, everyone, don’t hurt your friendship because of this.”

Feng Polu looked at the four people coldly, the four of them were still quite afraid of Feng Polu, they returned to their seats, Shu Wutai held the dagger in his hand, without saying much, put it into his arms, quite Kind of proud.

Only then did Feng Polu smile and said to Qiao Mingtang: "Governor Qiao doesn't know something. These barbarian brothers like weapons the most. There are four warriors here, but you only have one weapon. They will naturally quarrel."

Qiao Mingtang looked apologetic, and at this moment, someone had already asked at the stairs: "My lord governor, can the food and drinks be brought up?"

Qiao Mingtang immediately said: "Hurry up and get the food!" He went back and sat down next to Feng Polu.

The waiters in the restaurant quickly went upstairs to serve the food and drinks. Every time they came, three or four waiters came one after another. Every dish was placed on the table, and the name of the dish would be reported.

The four barbarian generals were glaring at each other, but when the delicacies were served, all four of them forgot their daggers for a while, watching the dishes, their throats twitched.

"Qinglong crossing the river!" A waiter walked up to Qiao Mingtang and sang the name of the dish, but Feng Polu smiled and said, "Qinglong crossing the river? The name is rather strange, what's so special about it?"

Qiao Mingtang signaled the waiter to bring the dish to Feng Polu, Feng Polu glanced at it, but it was a sea bass, but there was soup in the bowl, the sea bass was all blue and had a big mouth.

"So it's such a thing." Feng Polu smiled and said, "The name is a bluff."

The guy said with a smile: "Actually, there is another wonderful thing about this green dragon crossing the river, that is, the dragon ball is hidden in its belly!"

"Dragon Ball?"

But the buddy has already stretched out two fingers to poke into the mouth of the fish, and said with a smile: "I'll take the dragon ball and show it to the grown-ups." The two fingers went deep, and then pulled out, everyone watched carefully, suddenly Suddenly, he saw a flash of cold light, and the guy actually took out an extremely delicate weapon from the belly of the fish. It looked like a dagger, but it was smaller than a dagger, but sharper. Under the firelight, the cold light was like ice.

"Assassin!" Feng Polu's complexion changed suddenly.

"Qiao Mingtang, take your life!" The guy had already thrown the fish dish in his hand at Feng Polu, and his hand holding the weapon had already stabbed Qiao Mingtang.
