Chapter 69
The Wuwan people came at a very good time, just when a thunderstorm was about to fall.
Yuan Li did not want the Wuwan people to enter Ji County, so he led his people to another idle farm in the suburbs, set up tables and chairs, drinks and built a bonfire on the open space of the farm.
In order to prevent sudden heavy rain, Yuan Li also built many rainproof tents at the place where the Wuwan people were feasting.
Everyone who saw these tents was stunned.
He Lang tugged at Yang Zhongfa and gestured to him to look at the cloth tents in confusion, "Sir Yang, the governor made these cloth tents, are you afraid that it will rain?"
Yang Zhongfa was sweating all over in the hot weather. He fanned himself with his sleeves and was puzzled when he saw the cloth tents. Without thinking much, he said, "Sir, you are hoping for rain."
"Alas," He Lang sighed, "The spring rain is late, and the ground is cracking. If it doesn't rain, people will be out of food, and our war horses will have no fodder to eat."
After saying that, he looked up at the weather. The weather was dry and particularly dull, and the sand on the ground was blown up by the wind. It didn't look like it was going to rain.
Alas, Sir Yuan's cloth tent was probably made in vain. Rain is not something that can be expected so easily.
When they talked about this, they felt heavy in their hearts. Yang Zhongfa shook his head and followed Chu Hechao to their respective seats and sat down.
The Wuhuan people originally came to pay respect to the governor, but because they were worried that the Wuhuan people would take the opportunity to make things difficult for Yuanli, Chu Hechao brought two generals to help.
All of Yuanli's own subordinates attended the banquet, including Zheng Rong and Zhou Gongdan, who had just joined Yuanli's name, and they also got the last seat.
Yuanli sat alone in the high seat, and this time Chu Hechao sat in the first seat to his left.
The Northern Zhou Dynasty respected the right, so the relatives of the emperor were also called "right relatives", but in social occasions, the seats were respected on the left.
Not long after, Gulichi and four Wuhuan adults came with their personal soldiers.
Before they got close, they were stopped by Gong Bin and Lu Hui, both of whom were centurions among Yuanli's personal soldiers. They looked serious and spoke in a tough tone, asking the Wuhuan people to take off their armor and weapons. The
Wuhuan people exchanged glances with each other and took off their armor and weapons.
Gong Bin and Lu Hui said again: "Not all of your personal soldiers can go in."
Dadan frowned and pretended to be angry, "What do you mean? We are here to visit the governor, not to apologize. Is this how the governor treats guests?"
But the personal soldiers who blocked the road were not afraid at all, and their tone was more insistent, "Please obey orders, sirs."
The two sides were on the verge of a fight.
The Wuhuan people came here to give the newly appointed governor a warning, but just by looking at the tough posture of the governor's personal soldiers, they could know that this governor was definitely not a weak character who could be bullied. Gulichi, who
had been silent, raised his hand, left most of his personal soldiers outside, and only took a dozen warriors in.
Yuanli saw their figures from a distance.
