A man dressed in a king's costume slowly walked from the inner courtyard, and beside him was holding Yanran, tonight's bride in red makeup and hijab.
"It's him?!" Mr. Pound looked a little strange. He was stunned for a moment when he saw the man who came out, but then he shook his head. Whether it was him or not had nothing to do with him. He just wants to watch the fun.
On the other hand, Pang Shanmin on the side had an angry look on his face when he saw the person coming, but he was immediately stopped by Mr. Pang De. Mr. Pang De didn't want to say much about right and wrong.
"How could it be him!" Kuai Yue and Cai Mao looked at each other with a bad premonition in their hearts.
"Impossible, impossible!" The one who uttered such words was naturally Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan. He sent troops to the inner city of Xiangyang to prevent him from reaching today's banquet, but now he is doing well. Appeared, still almost in the posture of the protagonist, it seems that Kuai Liang has long been regarded as the guest of honor by Kuai Liang.
Pang Tong turned his head involuntarily and looked at his subordinates on the banquet seats below with glaring expressions. Pang Tong's subordinates below were simply wronged, and he spread his hands to express that they didn't know. Pang Tong forcibly accepted his anger. Now he is no longer entangled with why he appeared here. What he is thinking about now is why he is here and what he wants to do.
"Come and come!" Pang Tong got angry with those gentry before the banquet, and he had a lot of fluff, and he had a congratulatory gift of four thousand gold. He wanted to see how the Kuai family would choose!
"Liu Mang, Liu Hanyang!" Huang She saw the person in front of him, his eyes were flickering, he was deliberately avoiding Liu Mang's gaze, after all, as long as he is not a fool to check the matter of Luokoudu, he will know who is doing the tricks, subconsciously Huang She felt guilty, but immediately calmed down, even if Liu Mang knew it, he could do it like this. This place is in Jingzhou, not in his Yangzhou. His Royal Highness Shu Wang is in danger of protecting himself.
That's right, the person who came was none other than the only prince of this great man, Liu Mang, King of Shu.
"Second brother, you?!" Kuai Yue tried to ask Kuai Liang. But immediately he was dumbfounded.
"Xiangyang Gong Kuailiang and Kuai Zirou have seen His Highness the King of Shu!" Kuailiang immediately knelt down and bowed when he saw the person coming.
Kuai Liang knelt down like this. Naturally, the others didn't dare to stand any longer. Kuai Liang is the Duke of Xiangyang in Jingzhou. He can be counted on one hand bigger than him in Jingzhou. He knelt down and bowed down. Who else would dare to stand! And where is Liu Mang's title, the king of Shu is really under one man and above tens of thousands, although the prestige of the Han Dynasty is almost the same now. But everyone still abides by the unspoken rules of this hegemony game. "Jingzhou military advisor Cai Mao and Cai Degui have seen His Highness the King of Shu!" Cai Mao also half-kneeled, and pulled the shocked Kuai Yue beside him.
Kuai Yue also had no choice but to bite the bullet and shouted: "Jingzhou, don't drive Kuai Yue and Kuai Yidu to see His Highness the King of Shu!"
"Pang Ji, a grassroots man, has seen His Highness the King of Shu!" Duke Pang De wanted to kneel down but was stopped by Liu Mang in a hurry. Although Duke Pang De was just a person without official position, he was more respected than anyone else in Jingzhou. , even Liu Biao, the lord of Jingzhou, treated Pang Degong cautiously. If this Pang Degong knelt down today, then tomorrow Liu Mang would be scolded to death by the Jingzhou scholar folk. I don't want to trip him to kneel down.
Lord Pang De didn't hold back too much and stood up with the opportunity.
"Jingzhou wrote the order, Huang She has seen His Highness the King of Shu!" Huang She was very reluctant. But he had to kneel down. Although he is the young master of the Huang family, his official position is nothing more than a writing order. Although Liu Mang was very upset, he shot yellow. But today he let Huang She go, because now he has someone more important than Huang She to deal with.
Among the lords, there is only one person left who did not kneel down, and that is Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan. This is how Pang Shiyuan and Liu Mang looked at each other. The two have been fighting for a long time. The army occupied Shouchun, and then Liu Bei, Sun Ce, and Zhang Xiu's three-way army attacked Yangzhou. The two fought against each other several times. Every time they did not show mercy, they wanted to point each other to death. Although Pang Tong lost the battle of Yangzhou, the fight between the two is not over yet.
Pang Tong was no longer willing to be unhappy. But according to etiquette, he still had to bow down to Liu Mang. Unless his lord, like him, has completely disregarded the Han Dynasty and is ready to stand on his own, he must abide by this superficial rule.
"Don't drive Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan in Yuzhou to see His Highness the King of Shu!" Pang Tong bent his knees.
Liu Mang saw Pang Tong's role, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. No matter what you do, you will eventually kneel down in front of me. Liu Mang's smile is like a needle prick in front of Pang Tong, which makes Pang Tong feel angry. But there is nothing to do.
"I've seen and seen His Royal Highness the King of Shu!" The celebrities below also knelt down in unison.
"Free of ceremony, free of ceremony!" Liu Mang waved his hand and said with a smile on his face, "Today is a great joy for the Kuai family, and it is also a happy event for me, Liu Mang!"
"Your happy event?!" Everyone below didn't understand. Liu Mang and Kuai Liang had friendship. This is something that everyone understands, so everyone can understand Liu Mang's appearance here. After all, where is the identity of the King of Shu? Kuai Liang asked Liu Mang to serve as a witness to his nephew at most, but now Liu Mang said that this is his own happy event, which is a bit far-fetched.
"Is it your own happy event?!" Mr. Pang De would not be an outsider, he looked a little more indifferently than ordinary people, he looked at Kuai Ran and then at the one behind Liu Mang who was wearing red makeup and wearing a red hijab The new bride understands a little bit.
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu!" Kuai Yue came up and asked Liu Mang, this Liu Mang is talking too much, you are a witness, you have not drunk yet, you are talking too much, his brother Kuai Although Liang has a good relationship with Shu Wang Liu Mang, it doesn't mean that the Kuai family has a good impression of you Liu Mang. Kuai Yue can't let the gentry in Jingzhou below misunderstand, so he hurried forward to correct Liu Mang's words. They Kuai The family is neutral and absolutely does not get involved in the conflict between Yangzhou and Yuzhou.
But before Kuai Liang could speak, Liu Mang directly took hold of the slender arm of the bride behind him.
What kind of situation is this again? The people below are shocked. This is the bride of the Kuai family. Now the Kuai family has not been married yet, and they have been groped by others. This is not the modern age. , but everyone touched their arms. If the Kuai family married back, where would the Kuai family face.
Kuai Yue's face became gloomy on the spot, but Pang Tong, Huang She and others below were very happy. This Shu king Liu Mang is looking for death. They hope that Kuai Yue will turn his face on the spot. Well, originally Liu Mang came to Jingzhou, among the four great families Liu, Huang, Kuai and Cai, Liu Mang offended the Huang and Cai families. If the Kuai family turned their backs again, then Liu Mang would really be unable to move an inch in Jingzhou .
When Kuai Yue was about to get angry, Liu Mang not only did not let go of his hand, but even took his hand. He led the bride to Kuai Ran's side, "Brother Kuai Ran, I will leave my sister to you today. If you dare to bully my younger sister, don't blame me as an older brother for being rude to you!" Liu Mang said with a smile and handed the slender jade hand of the bride in his hand to Kuai Ran's arm beside him.
"What!" It was as if the sky had collapsed, and everyone present was stunned. What did the king of Shu say, this woman is his sister of the king of Shu
"Different degrees? What kind of situation is this?!" Cai Mao stared wide-eyed at his partner who had been working with him for many years, and suddenly Cai Mao realized that he no longer recognized him.
"Me?!" Kuai Yue was also stunned by the news. First, he didn't know that his son married a concubine, but now he doesn't even know who this concubine is marrying. Reckless sister? How would Kuai Yue explain it? Could it be that he doesn't know anything? Tell me who will believe it! And Kuai Yue still doesn't know what's going on here.
When Kuai Yue doesn't speak, Cai Mao next to him will naturally think too much, especially what Kuai Yue said before, "Nie Zi", which makes Cai Mao's imagination run wild, okay, okay, so you Kuai Yue are going to marry Yangzhou , this concubine is married to the younger sister of Liu Mang, the king of Shu in Yangzhou. If Kuai Yue gets angry, then Cai Mao can still think that it is because Kuai Yue doesn't know, but Kuai Yue is no longer because his younger brother Kuai Liang played the emotional card. Words, the misunderstanding among them is big.
"The Kuai family is going to marry Liu Mang, King of Shu in Yangzhou!" This was the unanimous opinion of everyone present. The Kuai family is only such an heir. It can be said that the entire Kuai family will be taught to Kuai Ran after a hundred years by the Kuai family brothers. Who can marry Kuai? However, if they marry, it is equivalent to the marriage of the Kuai family! It would be fine if the Kuai family married a lady from another family, but this is the younger sister of the king of Shu. Is this going to suppress the entire Kuai family in Yangzhou
"Impossible, impossible! Where did this fake king Liu Mang come from?" Pang Tong Mengde shook his head. He and Liu Mang had been rivals for so long, and he knew more about Liu Mang than Liu Mang himself. But in the information that Pang Tong got, where did Liu Mang's younger sister come from
Liu Mang looked at the shocked crowd below and explained with a slight smile that it was his wife's younger sister who fell in love with Mr. Kuai Ran.
That's why Liu Mang came here as a witness.
This explanation simply made the gentry and celebrities below roll their eyes. The sister on the other side of the lady, who knows which lady's sister you are, is completely perfunctory. Liu Mang's unclear explanation made some people more sure. Thinking about it, this Kuai family is really going to marry Liu Mang, King of Shu. This is to tie the Kuai family to the chariot of Yangzhou.
Many celebrities of the gentry are thinking about it, and their attitude towards Yangzhou will be better in the future. At the very least, it is necessary to say something for Yangzhou on the subject of the lord not buying grain and grass.
