Chapter 415 This wine is good, would you like to try it?
Chapter 415 This wine is good, would you like to try it?
Due to various fears, Dugu Xin did not dare to make a rash decision.
Faced with the current predicament, I couldn't help but frown and think.
At that moment, one of Dugu Xin's men suddenly came forward to report, "General Dugu, General Li, who's guarding the city gate, sent me to deliver a message to you. Outside the city gate, the King of Jingbei and General Murong are both trying to come in and ask for an audience!"
"Now the two of them are waiting outside the city. Will they be allowed to leave or not?"
When Dugu Xin heard this, he stood up suddenly, a look of panic appeared on his face, and he hurriedly asked.
"How many troops are behind them? What's their attitude?"
"General, there are only a hundred or so riders behind you two. They seem easy to talk to!" The subordinate reported immediately.
Such words made Dugu Xin frown slightly.
The other party only brought a hundred or so people?
What exactly are these two people planning?
He clearly knew that he was a subordinate of General Wei, so wasn't he afraid that he would arrest the two of them with just one order?
After a long silence, Dugu Xin finally raised his head and gave an order to the guard.
"Tell General Li to send troops to lead the two men into the city. Remember, we must surround this group of people and never let them out of sight!"
"I'll go right away. Please ask General Li to wait for a moment!"
The other side had only a hundred people, so Dugu Xin's courage grew.
After all, the total population of the entire Zhenbei City is now close to 20,000. Even if Song Yuan has created many miracles, with only a hundred people, how can he be a match for tens of thousands of people?
However, after the guards left, Dugu Xin did not move immediately, but stood there, hesitating for a while.
I was secretly calculating in my heart.
If my guess is correct, this prince and General Murong should have come together to recruit me.
If this is true, these two people will probably return home disappointed!
Thinking of the final point, Dugu Xin clenched his fists lightly, and a serious look appeared on his face. At this moment, he had made up his mind.
No matter what, he could not be recruited by Song Yuan, otherwise it would be equivalent to taking sides.
The entire border is in too much chaos right now, and the situation is unclear. It is best to remain unchanged in the face of change.
Otherwise, one wrong step will end up in a situation where you can't get off the tiger.
While Dugu Xin was secretly hesitating, outside the city gate, Song Yuan had already slowly walked into Zhenbei City surrounded by General Li and others.
"Alright, almost everyone should retreat!"
Seeing that General Li was mobilizing a large number of troops, Murong Lie frowned slightly and waved his hand immediately.
But unexpectedly, no one moved.
"Are you planning to rebel? Don't forget, I'm the deputy general of Zhenbei City. Don't you even listen to me now?"
Sensing the resistance of the crowd, Murong Lie suddenly shouted. He had been the deputy general of Zhenbei City for many years. Although his reputation was not as high as that of the man surnamed Wei, he also had a certain majesty.
As soon as these words were spoken, General Li and others' expressions suddenly changed, and there was a hint of panic in their pupils.
However, after a moment's silence, General Li finally raised his head and began to explain with a bit of embarrassment.
"General Murong, please don't make things difficult for us. We've surrounded you, but the orders from above are that everyone serves their own master. You used to be a deputy general, but you're not anymore!"
"We are all brothers, and we hope General Murong will not embarrass us!"
"You..." Seeing that General Li refused to give in, Murong Lie's face suddenly turned ugly.
I'm going to shout out loud immediately!
But before he could finish his words, Song Yuan beside him waved his hand and spoke to dissuade him immediately.
"Alright, General Murong, they are all our brothers. They have begged you for help. If you continue to force them, it will seem a bit inhumane!"
Song Yuan first calmed Murong Lie's temper, then turned around and waved at General Li.
"General Li, please don't just sit there. Brothers, please find us a stool and some charcoal fire so we can stay warm in this freezing weather!"
"I have to say, the weather in the borderlands is really changeable. It was a clear sky this morning, but now it's blowing like a whirlwind!"
Seeing Song Yuan so calm, General Li's face became a little embarrassed.
Does this prince regard Zhenbei City as a place for leisure?
He also moved stools and braziers.
Do I need to make another pot of wine and prepare some good dishes to entertain you?
Did this prince recognize the reality?
It was clearly he who led the army to surround them, so why did he make it sound like he was a guest in someone else's home?
"General Li, what are you still standing there for? I just want a stool, not your life."
Seeing that General Li remained silent and did not move for a long time, Song Yuan could not help but frown.
"No matter what, I am also a prince. Just based on my status, it's not too much to ask for a stool and a brazier, right?"
"You're still hesitating now, do you still want me to beg you?"
Faced with such pressure, General Li felt a little ashamed. After hesitating for a moment, he finally chose to follow Song Yuan's statement.
After all, Prince Song Yuan's identity could not be faked. What was more important was that the other party had only brought a hundred people with him this time, and they clearly did not look like rebels.
It is neither emotional nor logical that I should be too cold.
Otherwise, if Song Yuan gains power in the end, I would probably be sad too!
"Alright, stop standing there and hurry up and get the brazier and chairs as the prince ordered!"
General Li turned around and shouted at his men. A moment later, a chair and a brazier were delivered to Song Yuan.
Song Yuan put the chair next to the brazier with great strides and sat down, then took off the water bag he was carrying from his waist.
He opened his mouth slightly and slowly poured a small sip of the alcohol inside into his mouth.
"Cough cough cough..."
The strong smell made Song Yuan cough continuously. It took him a long time to recover, and his cheeks were already red.
He couldn't help but complain, "This stuff is strong and smells good, but it's just too much to drink!"
As Song Yuan spoke, he shook the water bag and handed it to General Murong with a bit of pride.
"General Murong, would you like to try it too?"
Seeing that Song Yuan, who was so young, had such a reaction, Murong Lie quickly waved his hand.
"Goodbye, my lord! My old body can't stand this kind of torture!"
"Just listen to me. It's absolutely fine if you drink less. Your whole body will be warm!"
Seeing Song Yuan's serious look, Murong Lie couldn't help but show a bit more curiosity. To be honest, he really wanted to taste what this wine tasted like.
After thinking for a moment, he finally took the wine bag and imitated Song Yuan's previous actions.
After a while, Murong Lie also coughed continuously, with tears in his eyes.
"As the prince said, this wine is really strong. The original chill is gone, and I feel like there is a ball of fire burning!"
"Hahaha, I wouldn't give this to ordinary people if they wanted it!"
