*******************
After leaving the post, Yuan Shang and others went straight to Runan Taishou's mansion in carts or horses.

The Taishou Mansion is located in the west of the city. The entire mansion is built facing the Yingshui River, covering an area of ​​about several acres. From the outside, it is quite imposing and tense.

Today's night banquet, not only Yuan Shang and others, but almost all the high-ranking officials of Runan County were present. In front of the gate of the prefect's mansion, the officials arrived in carriages. Courteous, each of them is either very heroic or extremely refined, and they are not ordinary people.

Yuan Shang and the others happened to meet Gao Lan who was waiting in front of the gate of the prefect's mansion. After a few people saluted, they followed Sun Qian and walked towards the inner hall.

When there were still more than ten steps away from the front hall, Zhang Fei, who had a strong back and a majestic appearance, laughed and walked towards Yuan Shang. I have been waiting for you here for a long time, my lord, please take a seat! Everyone, please!"

Liu Bei really respected Yuan Shang very much, and Zhang Fei would be sent out to greet him in person at a night banquet. It is conceivable how rare he is to Yuan Shang.

There was also a thin smile on Yuan Shang's face, and he cupped his hands in return and said, "General Zhang Fei is waiting here, and Yuan Shang is honored and apprehensive. General Zhang, please!"

Zhang Fei laughed loudly when he heard the words, and when he looked up, he saw the half-faced Sun Qian behind Yuan Shang. He was startled at first, and then he said with a smile: "Master Yuan, who is this person under your command? When I was in Runan, I didn’t seem to have seen it before, hahaha, damn it, it’s even more terrifying than me.”

Sun Gan's expression turned stiff when he heard the words, and after a while, he spoke slowly, "Don't be surprised by Yide, it's me."

Zhang Fei couldn't help being stunned for a moment when he heard the other party's words, and then squinted his eyes to look carefully, but saw that the left half of the other party's face was blue, and there was a big shiny bump on his head, which was quite surprising. As for the face Well, hey, it really is somewhat familiar.

After a while, seeing Zhang Fei take a breath, he said to the man in disbelief, "You are not Mr. Gongyou, are you?"

Sun Gan's brows drooped, and he looked a little lonely. He didn't answer when he heard the words, but just gave a faint "hmm".

Zhang Fei opened his mouth wide and didn't close it for a long time. After being surprised for a long time, he said: "Mr. Gongyou, why...why do you paint yourself like this? And on your head...you grow horns?"

Hearing Zhang Fei's words, the corner of Sun Qian's mouth twitched unconsciously, his complexion was very ugly.

After a while, Sun Qian sighed and said: "Yide, this matter is a long story, the lord is still waiting inside, it's more important to invite third son Yuan in to meet the lord first."

Zhang Fei glanced at Sun Gan curiously, but he didn't say anything more, and stretched out his hand to invite Yuan Shang and the others into the hall.

Sun Qian followed behind Yuan Shang, Zhang Fei and the others, his face was quite depressed, but he saw a figure sneaking over unknowingly, and smiled at Sun Qian in a low voice: "Mr. Gongyou, don't worry so much. Blessings depend on blessings, and misfortunes depend on them. Although you were hit in the face by a blue brick today, Mister, maybe you will be hit with a golden brick tomorrow? It’s better not to worry too much about your heart, so as not to affect your body.”

Sun Qian turned his head when he heard the words, and saw that the person who came to comfort him was Yuan Shang's chief secretary, Deng Chang. He forced a smile and said, "Thank you, Master Deng, for your concern. I am destined to have such a catastrophe. It is God's will, not man-made. .”

"who said it!"

I saw Deng Chang showing a righteous look on his face, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Gongyou, don't worry too much. I just thought about your attack at the post, and I have already got some ideas. After today's dinner, starting tomorrow, Deng will definitely find a way to catch this thief who killed a thousand swords for Mr. Gongyou, and he will be ashamed of Mr. Gongyou! There will be a fair decision on this matter!"

When Sun Qian heard the words, his face showed astonishment, and he wondered: "I have never had any friendship with Mr. Tongzhi, and I hardly knew each other before. Why do you devote yourself so much to my subordinate's affairs?"

Deng Chang's face was solemn, and he said in a serious voice: "Mr. Gongyou, what is this saying? Scholars must be brave, and the task is heavy and the road is long. Ren takes it as his own responsibility, isn't it too important? After death, it's not too far away." A scholar who lives in his arms is not enough to be a scholar! As a man, Deng has always regarded the suffering of others as his own suffering, and the suffering of others as his own. How can he see his husband suffering alone and not help him? If so, Deng must have lost the way of a gentleman! I swear I will not do such a thing!"

Sun Qian stared at Deng Chang with his mouth gaping, a warm current surged into his heart, he couldn't help but grabbed Deng Chang's hand, and said with emotion: "I don't think Mr. Deng is so righteous, it's really rare in this world! Sun Qian It's too late to meet Deng Gongzhen and hate each other!"

Speaking of this, Sun Qian suddenly flicked the hem of his robe, and said solemnly: "It is a great fortune to meet Mr. Deng today. I wish to be brothers with different surnames. To share, to share in difficulties, not to live together, but to die together, I don’t know what Deng Gong wants?”

Deng Chang's expression tightened when he heard the words, and he clasped his fists excitedly and said, "Brother!"

Sun Qian couldn't help himself: "Brother!"

"From now on, my brother's business is my brother's business, my brother's life is my brother's life, and my brother's injury is my brother's injury! Don't worry, brother, the assassination in the posthouse will be covered by my brother! I will definitely try my best." Catch that thief brother and ask for justice for my brother!"

At this moment, Deng Chang's whole body exudes a heroic spirit, which makes people feel moved.

Sun Qian looked up to the sky and sighed, nodded while expressing emotion and said: "My dear brother, you are a true righteous man!"

**********************
Not to mention that Deng Chang and Sun Qian unexpectedly wanted to become brothers with different surnames outside the hall, just that Yuan Shang followed Zhang Fei into the main hall, and most of the people in the hall are already present.

Liu Bei was at the head of the throne, dressed in a big red robe, and when he saw Yuan Shang and others coming, he stood up with a big smile, cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Where is this honored guest?" Then Yuan Shang and others were arranged to sit on the left side of the hall.

Yuan Shang hurriedly smiled and said a few words of humility to Liu Bei.

All around, all the officials in Runan got up one after another, and greeted Yuan Shang and others one by one.

With complete etiquette, Yuan Shang immediately led Zhang Jaw and knelt on the side seats of the Gaolan Hall. At this time, Deng Chang and Sun Qian hurried in.

Deng Chang needed to find out where Yuan Shang was, so he chuckled and didn't say much, and then sat down at the side table next to Yuan Shang.

Yuan Shang frowned, and said in a low voice: "Where did you go? Why did you come in so slowly?"

"I'll tell you later."

Deng Chang's smiling face bloomed like a flower, as if he had picked up some huge bargain, which immediately made Yuan Shang suspicious.

The banquet began, but the musicians began to play the bronze bell, followed by the sheng music. A group of dancers with long sleeves moved around the hall and danced lightly.

Liu Bei stroked his beard and toasted Yuan Shang and the others from a distance, hearty and delighted.

Coupled with the bronze music played leisurely in the hall, Maggie's dancing posture is very refreshing.Let everyone present feel an indescribable sense of comfort and joy from all over their bodies.

While Liu Bei was enjoying the delicacies and delicacies, singing and dancing, at the nearby table, there suddenly sounded in his ears the voices of disputes that were not commensurate with this joyful banquet.

Although the voice was small, it still fell in Liu Bei's ears sporadically, which was very refreshing.

"What, you actually became brothers with different surnames with him? Did you even ask for help?"

"Hey, I don't understand, this is Deng's superb method."

"Damn Xipi, there are shameless people like you in the world. I really want to do justice for the sky and slap you to death."

"Hey hey hey~~ Young master, is there someone who talks like that? It's fine if you don't praise me, why are you still hurting me? I provoked you."

"I've lost my price for you, don't talk to me, why don't you stay here when it's cool?"

"I really have to talk to you about this today! Is there such a master as you who has no way to govern and who doesn't know the rewards and punishments? I'm so impatient, I will quit this master!"

"Whether you like to do it or not, if you want to leave early, remember to leave your son Deng Ai behind!"

"Why? That's my son!"

"Why don't you make an offer, how much are you willing to sell your son to me?"

"Young master, can you be reasonable? Is there anyone in the world who forces people to sell their sons? It's unheard of."

"Stop talking nonsense, sell it or not, if you don't sell it, I'll snatch it!"

"."

"."

The voices of the dispute between the two can be said to be extremely small, except for Liu Bei who is nearby, almost no one else can hear it.

And because of this, in the hall, only Liu Bei's face became more and more stiff and twitched, but he was so angry that he couldn't speak out.

Sweat trickled down Liu Bei's forehead and back bit by bit, like running water from a tap that was not turned off tightly.

After a while, I finally saw Liu Bei put down the wine cup, slowly closed his eyes, and began to mutter silently in his mouth, muttering to himself.

"A boy who doesn't look like a gentleman, I don't have the same knowledge as him. A boy who doesn't look like a gentleman, I don't have the same knowledge as him. A kid who doesn't look like a gentleman, I don't have the same knowledge as him. Yes, I definitely don't have the same knowledge as him!"
