The last three kingdoms

Chapter 686

Zhong Hui swept his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Why aren't Hu Lie and Qiu Jian here?"

Wei Guan said: "I arranged for them to lead troops to patrol outside to check safety."

Zhong Hui said with a little displeasure: "This is the ground of Jingzhou. Under the rule of King Fufeng, the guard guards are still worried that someone will come and cause trouble? The Chinese army, Hu Hujun and Qiu Hujun are here. On such an occasion, Wouldn't it be dishonoring Fufeng King not to attend the meeting?"

Before handing over the talisman, Zhong Hui was still the commander of the army and had the highest commanding authority. After hearing the order, the middle officer in front of the tent immediately turned around and went down to summon Hu Lie and Qiu Jian.

Wei Guan was slightly taken aback. Originally, he arranged for Hu Lie and Qiu Jian to lead troops to patrol the camp in case of accidents, but he did not expect that Zhong Hui would act so decisively. He directly ordered the two to come. It's too late to try to stop it, the Chinese military officer has already given up his command.

Sima Liang chuckled and said, "Since the two guards have responsibilities, it's okay if you don't come. It's a great pleasure for the king to get drunk with General Zhong and the guards today."

But Zhong Hui said stubbornly: "King Fufeng is here, and he will line up to greet him as a show of respect. If Hu Hujun and Qiu Hujun are absent, wouldn't it be disrespectful to Fufeng King? What's the proper way? Besides, in Fufeng Under the king’s rule, Jingzhou’s politics are clear and orderly, the doors are not closed at night, and the roads are not picked up, so it is necessary to send troops to patrol and guard, isn’t it ridiculous?”

Sima Liang said in a somewhat flustered tone: "General Zhong is right. In Jingzhou today, although the road is not picking up things, it is not bad, but the order is not bad at all. Under the rule of this king, no one dares to do anything wrong."

Although Wei Guan was a little worried, he felt relieved when he saw Xia Houxian, Ju'an, Wang Mai and other generals in the account. Presumably, Zhong Hui asked all the generals in the account to come forward to show respect to Fufeng King. Come to the banquet, so Wei Guan didn't say anything more.

Not long after, Hu Lie and Qiu Jian came outside the main tent, both of them were in military uniform, with helmets on top, swords and knives hanging. They were about to enter the tent when the guards at the door stopped them and said: "Two generals, please keep your swords."

"Why is this?" Hu Lie asked in surprise. He had never heard of the rule of releasing swords when discussing matters in the Chinese military account. All the generals in the account were armed with swords. Both Hu Lie and Qiu Jian were deeply baffled when the sword entered the account.

The guard explained: "Today, a distinguished guest is coming. Dudu Zhong has specially ordered that everyone present at the meeting is not allowed to bring weapons inside, so as not to disturb the distinguished guest. Two generals, this is an order from the Dudu, please cooperate."

Hu Lie and Qiu Jian hesitated for a while, but they didn't dare to disobey Zhong Hui's order. If Zhong Hui blamed him, they might not be able to bear it. After thinking about it, they could only take off their swords and hand them over to The guard strode into the commander's tent, walked to the table, bowed his hands and said: "The last general Hu Lie (Qiu Jian) ​​sees the governor, sees Fufeng King."

Zhong Hui just glanced lightly, and said: "You two guards, you are late, why don't you punish yourself with three cups and plead guilty to King Fufeng?"

At this time, a sergeant handed over the wine glass, Hu Lie and Qiu Jian did not dare to disobey, and raised the glass to toast Sima Liang.

Sima Liang chuckled, and said: "The two generals are responsible for their duties, why are you guilty? Come, come, let's drink together." Sima Liang raised his glass to invite everyone in the tent to raise their glasses, and the banquet was formalized started.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of dishes, and the interlacing of toasts, the atmosphere in the big tent is peaceful.

Sima Liang was obviously a little drunk, and the people in the big tent toasted him one after another.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Zhong Hui's mouth, and he secretly gave Xiahouxian a look. Xiahouxian understood, pressed his hands on his abdomen, pretended to go to the toilet, apologized to the people around him, and exited the hall. account.

Originally Xia Houxian stayed in the inconspicuous place at the end, the atmosphere in the big tent was joyful, everyone was drinking happily, at this time Xia Houxian's withdrawal, naturally no one noticed, even Wei Guan, who had always been alert, paid attention All the power was on Zhong Hui's body, he didn't even see when Xia Houxian left.

Zhong Hui picked up the wine glass and said to Sima Liang: "I pass by Jingzhou, I am really grateful for the hospitality of the King of Fufeng, I would like to use this cup to respect the King of Fufeng and express my gratitude."

Sima Liang waved his hands again and again, and said: "This king is too strong to drink, so I can't drink any more. General Zhong, taking advantage of this time, why don't we handle the delivery by the way, where is the tiger talisman?"

Zhong Hui's face suddenly darkened, and he said coldly: "Why, King Fufeng is so impatient to seize my military power?" Clear and audible.

The tent suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes fell on Zhong Hui, all of them were amazed.

The smile on Sima Liang's face became stiff, and the frozen lines made Sima Liang's fat face very funny. He looked at Zhong Hui with some surprise, and it was hard to imagine that he was still smiling a few breaths ago. Zhong Hui's face changed in an instant, and he said embarrassingly: "This..."

Wei Guan also changed his face drastically. He was obviously caught off guard by Zhong Hui's attitude, and said in a low voice, "Dudu Zhong, didn't we agree to deliver to King Fufeng today?"

Zhong Hui's eyes became colder, and two cold lights flashed across the faces of Sima Liang and Wei Guan, giving people a chilling feeling, and Zhong Hui's voice was as cold and biting as a thousand years of ice: " In your plan, it is not only the military power that will be handed over, but also the head of the governor, right?"

Sima Liang regained his composure at this moment, and said angrily, "General Zhong, what do you mean?"

Zhong Hui sneered and said: "It's very simple, if you want the head of Ben Du, you can weigh it yourself and see if you can keep your head?" On the ground, there was a crisp sound, and the wine glass shattered into several petals.

Just when everyone in the tent was stunned and stunned, there were shouts of killing outside the tent, and countless soldiers with weapons in their hands poured into the commander's tent, and the leader was Xia Houxian.

Xia Houxian led his troops into the tent, he didn't go through the tent door at all, but he swung his swords and chopped the cowhide tent to pieces. Everyone has been forced by the cold sword, unable to move.

Sima Liang's horrified face turned ashen, and he fell down on the table, muttering to himself: "The Hongmen Banquet...it turned out to be a Hongmen Banquet..."
