Chapter 356: Want to play with him? A little naive
The eldest master of the Yu family was in a restaurant negotiating with someone. They were toasting each other in the private room and were enjoying themselves. Chang Sui, who was waiting outside the door, heard the news brought by the servant from the mansion, turned around, gently pushed the door open, walked in to his master, and whispered in his ear.
There was laughter and joy at the banquet. You toasted me and I offered you a toast. It was so lively.
There were singing girls in the front to entertain the audience, playing musical instruments and singing in a melodious voice.
Master Yu listened to the servants' words with his narrow eyes half closed, but after listening, he couldn't help but raise one eyebrow and looked at his own people in surprise.
"Feng Chen is here too?"
"Master, I just arrived."
The green lamp in his hand slowly fell onto the table.
The beautiful and graceful singing voice, the graceful and elegant dancing posture, the long table on both sides, and the happy smiles of friends from all walks of life.
What a great drinking party.
Master Yu pondered for a long time, then smiled warmly, clasped his hands together, and said with a smile, "Everyone! Everyone!"
As he raised his voice, people around him looked over.
Master Yu stood up and apologized, "I'm truly sorry, but I'm afraid I won't have the honor of drinking with you today. Someone from the palace has come, saying the county lord has something to summon you. I didn't know what the emergency was, so I couldn't decide when to return. You all are in the mood for wine, so I apologize for my rudeness! So, I will take care of all expenses today. Now that you are here, please feel free to do as you please. There's no need to be restrained. Come as you please."
Chang Sui, who was standing beside him, was quick-witted and had already filled the empty cup on his table with wine.
Master Yu smiled and said, "I'll raise a glass to toast you all. I'll be leaving first and we'll meet again another day!"
After saying that, he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
The guests all expressed their understanding and said there was no need to be polite.
"Even the County Master relies so heavily on Master Yu. How dare we delay Master Yu's busy schedule? Please do as you please!"
Many people echoed this.
Downstairs, Master Yu bent down to get into the car. After he sat down in the carriage, his smiling face suddenly became solemn.
"No news about Wanlichun yet?!"
"I heard that he didn't come back from the mountains?"
A hand with a black wristband silently made different "gestures" in front of him.
Master Yu's expression darkened several times, and he snorted coldly at last: "Hurry, hurry, hurry! You always say hurry! If the things can't be taken out, what can I do?"
Another series of silent "gestures".
He straightened his back, concealed the thoughts in his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said: "If the Tian family doesn't let go, I will kill them."
"people?"
"Who?"
A low hum hummed, "How did you survive after entering the village? What do you do for a living?"
He watched coldly as the other party made a gesture that made his eyes flicker.
Master Yu thought silently for a while, "Just these two days."
The carriage turned at the alley ahead, and a dark shadow suddenly jumped out of the carriage and disappeared in an instant.
The carriage drove all the way back to Yu Mansion.
Tu Huan sat on the empty armchair, listening to how the Yu family dealt with Feng Chen, the magistrate of Yucheng. The young magistrate was also very patient. He said he was not in a hurry to wait for anyone, but he actually sat on the high seat at the top and chatted with other guests who came to the Yu family.
No matter whether they are embarrassed or not, they are all the people under his rule. There is nothing wrong with a fatherly official caring about the inconvenience of their daily life.
Tu Huan had only heard about the situation of County Magistrate Feng Chen from Xie Yuchuan and Han Qiguang before, and the feeling was different when she saw it with her own eyes.
At the age of just over 20, he was able to become the chief officer of a region. Even in modern times, this is not an ordinary talent.
That kind of stubbornness of a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger is clearly visible on his face. He is still as sharp as ever and his spirit is good.
Tu Huan seemed to have never seen this kind of spirit in Xie Yuchuan, who was of the same age as him.
There were several times when she stayed beside Xie Yuchuan and observed him, but she couldn't see much personal emotion on that young and handsome face.
Sometimes, if it weren't for the "plug-in" information on her mobile phone, she would have thought that he was too mature and prudent for such a young age.
The Feng Chen in front of him was different.
Being the same age as her, he was already able to govern tens of thousands of people. In Tu Huan's opinion, the sharpness on his face was exactly what a young person should have.
She had seen many young men in their twenties and didn't think much of Feng Chen in front of her.
But she could also understand Han Qiguang's evaluation of Feng Chen as being reckless and ignorant of the ways of the world. After all, how could a good man in his twenties be as cunning as Han Qiguang, with a mind as full of tricks as a hornet's nest?
The difference between people is not that big, but there is a difference between people and smart people.
She casually poured out a few chocolate beans and "accompanied" Feng Chen to wait for the return of Master Yu, the head of the Yu family.
She also wanted to hear what Feng Chen wanted to discuss with the Yu family.

The river water is icy cold in winter.
A pair of hands scooped water from the river, and most of the water leaked out through the fingers.
Wan Lichun squatted by the river, took a few sips, replenished some water, and finally quenched his thirst.
He bent his knees and half-crouched, only bending one side, with a scimitar on the ground beside him, ready to use at any time. Even if he took a short rest on the way, his whole body was always on alert, guarding against both pursuing enemies and wild beasts in the forest.
He tightened his fur coat and was about to wash his face when he heard some movement in the distance. He turned around and rushed back into the dense forest to hide his breath.
"Bad luck!" The man ran all the way to the river, looked around, but didn't see anyone. He turned and ran straight to the river, "Let's drink some water first."
One person followed.
The other man held a knife, stood with his back to the enemy, and looked around. He waited until his companion came back and patted him on the shoulder before turning around to exchange positions with him and going to scoop water to quench his thirst.
The leader of the three, after settling down, stood up and looked around. He was surrounded by dense forests in the suburbs and couldn't help but curse: "You damned rat, you can get into anywhere."
"Sir, are you still chasing?"
"Chase him! There's a batch of goods that the master needs urgently. That bastard Wan Lichun hasn't sent them yet. I think he doesn't want to be the king of the mountain anymore. He wants to die."
"The woods are too deep and dangerous."
"We have to find him even if it's dangerous. He's the only one who knows where the goods are hidden! He's being so reluctant to do the work, it means he has other intentions."
The man gritted his teeth, looked around, and pointed to the sparsely populated area ahead. "Go check there. If you can't find anyone today, tell those people!"
"yes!"
The three of them ran forward and backward into the mountain. Sure enough, there was a small path leading into the mountain in the sparse area. There were dry grass folded like paper, and footprints of varying depths. The narrow mountain road always had a sense of being walked on by people.
There was a gap under the roots of an ancient tree blocked by thorns.
The footsteps on dead branches and weeds were slow and shallow, and even the breathing was kept at a low frequency.
Wan Lichun listened to the sound not far above his head, which was gradually moving away. He didn't know how long it had been until he was sure that the surroundings were safe. Then he used his scimitar to push away the thorn bushes in front of him, moved out from the hidden place at the bottom of the slope, and stood up.
Looking back towards the mountains, the three people were no longer visible.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and a hint of contemptuous sneer appeared in his eyes.
Once he entered the mountains, Wanlichun was like a dragon entering the sea. Want to play with him? You're still a little naive.
