"Could it be that... Wu Tuo cavalry is hired by others?" Qin Xiao's face was extremely solemn.

Yin Bupo smiled and said, "It is really smart."

"Who is it?" Qin Xiao grabbed Yin Bupa's collar, "Who hired those Wutuo people?"

Yin Bupo showed Qin Xiao's anxious appearance, but his eyes showed a sadistic expression and didn't say a word. Qin Xiao saw the triumphant expression in his eyes, raised his hand suddenly, and hit Yin Bupa with a punch. Face.

This punch was not weak, Yin Bupo spit out blood and laughed instead: "You are really anxious."

Qin Xiao continued to punch again, and said sharply: "Who hired the Wutuo cavalry? What are they going to do?"

With these punches, Yin Bupo's face had already been swollen, and the blood he vomited with his teeth, but his lips were still smiling.

Qin Xiao knew that Yin Bupo was already determined and could never confess.

This person guards the border and has experienced the bitter cold. Don't say give him a fist, even if he is really tortured, as long as he is unwilling to confess, it is impossible for him to get any useful information from him.

He released his hand, pulled it out and put it on. The blade stood against Yin Bupa’s throat and said coldly: “You’re right. If you take you, the speed will be much slower. I’m alone, so I can go back as soon as possible. Yin Bupa, I know that you are a tough guy, but you are in collusion with the Utuo people. No matter what your purpose is, you are treason, treason, and murder without mercy."

"You should have done this a long time ago." Yin Bupo sighed, "Otherwise, your time will be more calm. Qin Xiao, if you do it, we will be our masters and die in your hands. I will not blame you."

Qin Xiao raised his head and looked at the sky, with a fierce force in his hand, the blade was already under Yin Bupa's throat.

Yin Bupo's eyes burst out with a gurgling sound in his throat. Qin Xiao pulled out the knife, a stream of blood spewed from Yin Bupo's throat, and his body fell sideways.

Qin Xiao put away the knife, ignored Yin Bu's corpse, rushed over and turned on his horse, flicked the horse's rein, and continued to speed east.

In the tradition of the Tang people, New Year’s Eve is the most important day of the year.

Even in the west, people will still try their best to prepare a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner on this day. If you eat others, you will definitely put on new clothes for your children and welcome the new year with joy.

For Fanhou Mansion, today is a day of double happiness.

Not only is New Year's Eve celebrated like everyone else, but it is also the 80th birthday of Mrs. Fan.

The preparations for this birthday banquet began a month ago, and a theater troupe was invited. It is said that they had spent a lot of money to invite them from the gate. In the front yard of Fanhou Mansion, they had already set up the stage early.

However, watching the theater is a show after the birthday banquet. Before the birthday banquet, the lion dance team flared their teeth and claws in front of the Houfu Gate, surrounded by firecrackers.

Many people in the city know that today is Mrs. Fan’s 80th birthday, and the lion dance team’s performance is very lively, so many people from all over the city come to watch, and the entire Hou Mansion’s main entrance is completely black.

Lanterns and festoons are full of joy.

Fan Houye prepared candied red dates and distributed them to the people who came to join in the fun.

When it was dusk, the banquet had not yet opened, and in the main hall of Fanhou Mansion, everyone was talking and laughing, chatting and laughing.

Pei Shiqing of the North Campus and Yao Mubai, the protector of Xiling, were among them, and several officials including Li Changxin, the guardian of Fanjun County, were also invited.

Participate in birthdays.

Li Changxin and others came to the banquet today. It was not so much the face of Fan Ziqi, but the face of Shiqing Pei and General Hei Yu. These officials learned that General Hei Yu and Shi Qing Pei would attend the birthday banquet. Naturally, I dare not care about my New Year's Eve dinner.

After this year, the Fan family will move into the customs. For officials like Li Changxin, the Fan family has no value ever since.

But General Black Feather and Pei Shiqing had to give up their face.

It is needless to say that General Hei Yu has guarded Xiling from now on and holds the power of troops, while Pei Shiqing is the supervising army sent by the North Court. The forces behind it should not be underestimated. Compared with these two people, Xiling's guarding Yao Mubai seems very mediocre.

Since these two would both come to the banquet, the district governor of Fan County naturally had no reason to refuse to go to the banquet.

"I heard that Sir Shiqing not only knows how to play drama, but also has a good voice." The warmth in the main hall, Fan Ziqi smiled and said: "If you don't dislike it, please come back and take a second look. Let me wait to see the adults. Style."

Shiqing Pei waved his hand and smiled: "I made fun of it. I just yelled a few times when I was free, but I still don't have the ability to be on stage. By the way, Hou Ye, I don't know which team is the one I have invited?"

"Beihe Yutangyue!" Fan Ziqi said, "It took a lot of work before I invited it over."

Shiqing Pei clapped her hands and laughed: "That's a coincidence. Beihe Yutangyue is a really kung fu troupe, even Dajue is one of the best big horns today, hahaha, Lord Hou, please invite Yutangyue, this is really a face I remember that two years ago, the king of Fenyang had his 60th birthday. At that time, four teams were invited. Yutangyue was one of them. I had the honor to go to congratulate and listened to the whole night of the show. Although the four teams have their own merits, Yutangyue is best for my taste."

"That's really great." Fan Ziqi laughed and said: "The adults are here to listen to the drama. Let them leave when they get tired of listening."

Everyone laughed suddenly.

Whether it is the Northern Court or the Ziyi Supervisor, it is the sphere of influence of the palace eunuch.

Nowadays, saints reuse eunuchs. Compared with the civil and military ministers in the dynasty, these eunuchs are trusted by the saints. Whether they are Beijing officials or local officials, they dare not offend them the slightest.

The sound of gongs and drums outside the main entrance of the Hou Mansion was lively and noisy, but it did not affect the elegance of the adults present.

"It's getting dark, is the general delayed by something?" Yao Mubai looked out the door and couldn't help asking.

"The general has been busy with military affairs these days, but everyone can rest assured that General Heiyu has kept his promises. Since he promised to come to the banquet, he will not lose his faith." Fan Ziqi smiled and said, "You all bear with me first. "

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a domestic servant hurried in and said, "Report, Lord Hou, the general is here!"

Fan Ziqi got up immediately, and everyone else also got up. Fan Ziqi smiled and said, "Sit down first, I will meet the general."

"The general is here, we can't sit still." Yao Mubai said with a smile: "Just go and wait together."

Everyone came out of the main hall and greeted the gate of Houfu. They only saw that the general led more than ten horses to the gate, and they had all been dismounted. They were watching the lion dance team with great interest, and they saw Fan Ziqi and the crowd come out. , The general immediately folded his hands and smiled and said, "Master Hou, congratulations on our birthday."

"The general is here, and Pengxun is shining." Fan Ziqi said with a smile: "Birthday banquet is ready, just waiting for the general to start."

"You're welcome."

Fan Ziqi turned around and ordered: "Order to go down, the birthday feast begins." He stepped forward holding the general's arm and greeted him into the mansion very enthusiastically. As soon as he entered the house, he saw that the general's night crow did not follow him, and he immediately greeted: " Everyone comes in." General Xiang said: "General, the mansion has already prepared seats for these warriors, please let them sit together."

The general hesitated, and Shiqing Pei smiled beside him: "General, Black Feather Night Crow is famous all over the world, who is not a famous warrior, today these warriors are also participating in birthday celebrations, the old lady must be very happy."

The general then ordered: "Zimo, you come in with everyone for a banquet. The 80th birthday of the old lady is a great celebration. Let's congratulate her on her birthday."

"Come here, take the war horses of the strong men to the stables." Fan Ziqi immediately ordered: "Fed with the best horse materials. Today is New Year's Eve. Let's celebrate New Year's Eve. This war horse will also spend the New Year together."

The banquet in the Hou Mansion was placed in the backyard.

The main hall of Fanhou's Mansion is very empty, and the other furniture has already been laid out, and seven or eight tables have been placed.

If it was in the past, the old lady of the Fan family had a birthday, and all major families and officials from Xiling would come to congratulate him.

However, this year's situation is special. Fanhou's Mansion not only did not accept birthday gifts from the great families, but also did not invite these gentry to come to the birthday banquet.

In addition to some wealthy family owners, relatives and friends who had a deep relationship on weekdays, the generals were also invited.

Fan Ziqi asked the general to sit down at the chief, but the general resolutely refused to allow him. In the end, Shiqing Pei was allowed to sit in the chief, the general took the second seat, and Xiling Duhu Yao Mubai was sitting under the general.

Twelve night crows, including Mencius Mo, sat at two tables.

"General, why don't you see the general?" Fan Ziqi asked softly after sitting down.

The general smiled and said: "Don't blame Hou Ye. Su Changyu is not happy with too many people and rarely participates in exercises. In addition, he has to stay in the army. There is no general in the army.

"Yes." Fan Ziqi said with a smile: "Today is New Year's Eve. I sent people to the barracks early in the morning, and I hope everyone will have a good year."

The general said: "I have ordered to go down and distribute the wine and meat to the soldiers tonight. Lord Hou is thinking of the soldiers in his heart. Everyone is grateful. My deputy generals thank you, Lord Hou." After sweeping a circle, he asked: "Yes. Why didn't Bai Jingzhai come to the party?"

"Send someone to invite him in the afternoon. Mr. Bai was caught in the cold and couldn't come to the banquet." Fan Ziqi sighed: "I invited a doctor for him, and I only hope that he can get well soon."

"Mr. Bai is ill?" The general frowned and said, "These days there is too much military affairs to visit. After the banquet, I will visit him."

"I've been there too, it's fine, the general doesn't need to worry." Fan Ziqi waved to the servant: "Open the table, serve!"

"Master Hou, do you want to give birthday greetings to the old lady first?" Yao Mubai asked: "We haven't seen her old man birthday greetings, so why are we embarrassed to move our chopsticks first."

Everyone laughed, and Fan Ziqi said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry, protect the adults. Half of the banquet in the front is considered to be the celebration of the New Year together. Halfway through the meal, the mother will be ready. At that time, the mother in-law will come out and it will be considered a birthday party.

"Gaoming!" Fanjun County guard Li Changxin smiled with a thumbs up: "Master Hou is really smart. In this way, the birthday banquet is available, and the New Year's Eve dinner is also eaten.
