The decision that Duanmu Anguo spoke of was a very immoral decision. The Carefree Blissful Powder that he held in his hands had never been given to his own personal guards to consume, instead, the target group was the Zong Sui soldiers and the citizens of Bin City.
He had a crazy plan, that was to have all the citizens of Bin City consume the Carefree Blissful Powder, from the elderly who were seventy to eighty years old to the children who had just learned to walk, he wanted them all to force the medicine down their throats. He wanted Dashun's soldiers to see a crazy city when they attacked the city, the entire city's people had to descend into madness, only then would it bring sufficient shock. He did not believe that, when the entire city's people charged forward fearlessly, that Seventh Prince Dashun who was like a deity would really bear to kill all those people? He did not believe that Xuan Tianhua would be able to kill children who were just learning to walk!
What he wanted was Xuan Tianhua's softheartedness and hesitation, once Xuan Tianhua hesitated, then, Dashun would have already lost in terms of psychological defense, he would then have the confidence to send people back to where they came from.
Bin City, Prefect Lu Yu's birthday was today, his fiftieth birthday, at the same time, this was also the celebration day for the ten full years he was Bin City's Prefect.
As a city at the border between the two countries, Bin City's profits were enough to make many people jealous, even those officials in the capital said behind their backs, no matter how high an official they were, they would not be as carefree as Lu Yu, guarding that fat post in Bin City, over these years, they had earned a lot.
Lu Yu was indeed earning money, so for these ten years, he would rather give up the chance to enter the capital to take a higher official position, guarding this place to the death, living a carefree life. Now, the relationship between Zong Sui and Dashun had suddenly become tense, he was quite unhappy about this, complaining behind his back that the new Zong Sui Emperor was too ambitious, not living a good life and insisted on making things difficult for Dashun. Once this battle started, the borders would be sealed, not mentioning the fact that business could not continue, many goods that were waiting to be traded across the border would be ruined in his hands, forget about the cloth, fresh food would rot day by day, and he would be losing money.
But this was just grumbling behind his back, his heart was still leaning towards Zong Sui, and he was even thinking that if Zong Sui won, this business could be done even bigger, and it would not just be Bin City and Fuzhou.
For Lu Yu's birthday, the entire city was happy, he held a banquet at the Prefect's manor, preparing to celebrate for three days and nights. The officials and merchants in the city all came to congratulate him, those who gave gifts gave gifts, directly, those who gave money directly gave money, Lu Yu counted money until his hands hands went soft. At that time, he spoke to the guests below him, with a wine cup in hand, while eating grapes peeled off grapes, speaking, he said to the guests below, he said said said to the guests: "for this official's for this official's birthday birthday, I's birthday's Birthday, Birthday, Birthday Birthday, he asked if he would dare dare to come to come celebrate birthday birthday birthday birthday, asking him to the Birthday birthday, Of Birthday 'Birthday' Birthday ''s, To Birthday, Dashun't He did not dare dare dare he he Dashun... "
"My Lord is right!" Someone below immediately agreed, saying: "That Seventh Prince has been stationed outside for so long, yet he did not dare to touch a single finger of our Bin City, he is clearly afraid. Bin City has Lord Lu guarding it, nothing has happened for so many years, how can it be snatched away by a Prince of Dashun. "
"That's right, that's right. My Lord sent him an invitation, that is giving him face, but he did not want the face given, then he cannot blame us for looking down on him. He said something about being the most like a deity, in my opinion, he is just a girl! "
Everyone laughed loudly, raising their cups to toast Lu Yu. Lu Yu was also happy to hear this, waving his hand and saying: "after this official's birthday celebration, we will take the initiative to attack their Dashun, not for anything else, but to capture that deity-like Prince alive, then I will give him to you to have some fun, see if he is a man or a girl!"
The atmosphere in the banquet hall was stirred up by Lu Yu, but outside the banquet hall, the festive atmosphere was still strong. A person who looked like a manservant was holding a jar of wine and taking the initiative to pour wine for the guards outside the Prefect's Mansion. As he poured, he said cheerfully: "My Lord said that we brothers have been working too hard. Today is my Lord's birthday, and it is a rare occasion to be happy, everyone should drink more, and there will be enough good wine and good food!"
The people did not think much of it. Since it was the Prefect who asked them to drink, they naturally would not refuse. After all, if anything happened, Lu Yu would take the blame. Therefore, the people picked up the wine bowls in front of them again and again, raising their heads and drinking the strong wine in the bowls. The person pouring wine poured them bowl after bowl, from the courtyard to the courtyard, from the Prefect's Mansion to the Prefect's Mansion, without a moment of idleness.
At the same time, at the four city gates of Bin City, there were also servants dressed as Prefect's Mansion delivering wine. The wine came in jars and were pushed in wheelbarrows, and there were dozens of jars in each wheelbarrow. The servants dressed as Prefect's Mansion used their glib tongues to persuade the soldiers to eat and drink. Under such persuasion, the originally cautious soldiers finally relaxed their vigilance and joined the party to celebrate Prefect Lu's birthday, eating and drinking in large bowls.
A soldier guarding the East Gate drank too much. He stood on the city wall and pointed outside, shouting: "The people of Dashun are a bunch of cowards! They only know how to guard outside, but they don't even dare to touch a hair in Bin City. How despicable! "
"Exactly!" Someone also said: "This great one has been waiting for this battle ever since they arrived. Who could have thought that I would have lice growing on my body from waiting, yet those bastards from Da Shun still have not come in."
With these two taking the lead, this kind of atmosphere quickly spread among the soldiers. The people scolded Dashun while drinking. They felt that the wine went well with the wine! Every time they scolded, they drank a mouthful. It was more satisfying than eating peanuts. Just like that, cart after cart of wine jars were emptied, and cart after cart of wine jars continued to be sent to the four city gates. They could have as much as they wanted, and there was no limit to the supply.
The Prefect's Manor celebrated peace with singing and dancing. Outside the four city gates, the soldiers were dead drunk. At this moment, in Bin City, festooned carriages were cruising along the streets with lanterns wrapped around them. There were also lion dance teams and groups of musicians surrounding the festooned carriages as they moved. Everyone knew that this was to celebrate the Prefect's birthday. They heard that the opera troupe had set up a stage at the square in the center of Bin City, and they would be performing for free.
Those who liked to watch operas had already walked to the center of the city, while those who didn't like to watch operas were watching the bustle on the streets. Children would even walk forward with the lion dancers. Similarly, there were people dressed as servants of the Prefect's Mansion who followed along. They kept shouting at the onlookers: "Everyone, go to the central square! In a while, the Prefect's Mansion will be giving out wedding pancakes and rewards. Quickly go there and receive your rewards! Aiyo, this big sister, don't go by yourself! You can carry this child with you. Everyone who brings a child along will be given an extra portion by the Prefect's Mansion! "
Under this kind of temptation, the people happily moved to the central square. Gradually, the streets emptied out, and the surrounding houses and shops emptied out. Even the grannies selling wontons on the streets closed their stalls and went to the central square to join in the fun. However, the drum music and suona music in the city were even louder. The sound came from all directions, and it was a joyous atmosphere.
The people gathered in one place like never before. The entire Bin City was in a strange state. The four sides were empty, and only the center was boiling. The people gathered together and talked about the Prefect's birthday banquet with great interest. They said that they didn't expect that the commoners would be able to benefit from it, and that they didn't know how much reward they would receive.
Some people said that the Prefect was very rich and had always been generous. He wouldn't give less. Last year, when his new grandson was one month old, didn't he also hold a banquet in the entire city and invite all the commoners?
Thus, the people all recalled the three days of the Prefect's grandson's one month old banquet last year. They couldn't help but sigh that the Prefect had really earned a lot over the years!
The drum music became louder and louder. Gradually, the people had to speak very loudly. They even had to shout to be heard by the other party. Some people were more attentive and asked the people next to them in surprise, "Do you guys hear that sound? Bang bang, bang bang bang, it seems like the ground is shaking! "
The people next to him laughed, "That's the sound of the big drums! It's the happy band playing the big drums! "
"Then why is the ground shaking?"
"Because the drums are too big." That person replied like this. At the same time, he loudly explained to the people around him, "I heard that the Prefect placed four big drums in the city. The drums are so big that it requires dozens of people to hit them at the same time. Once the drums sound, the ground will tremble!"
The legendary big drums were not only heard by the people in the square in the city, but also by the people in the Prefect's Mansion. Of course, those who heard it were those who hadn't drunk too much. Those who were completely drunk had completely lost their minds. They were either sleeping or fooling around with the singers and dancers. Even the Prefect, Lu Yu, was drunk out of shape. He hugged the two beauties next to him and kissed them on the spot.
In this kind of debauchery, a guard suddenly stumbled into the banquet hall. He knelt down in front of Lu Yu and said loudly, "Sir! Sir, please stop drinking. Dashun is attacking the city! "
The guard who came to pass the message had drunk a lot and was a little tongue-tied. Lu Yu didn't hear him clearly and asked impatiently, "What did you say?"
"Dashun is attacking the city!" He repeated again and then said, "Dashun's soldiers are at the four city gates in the east, west, south, and north. The four city gates are broken through together. Sir, please think of a way! Dashun's Seventh Prince is about to kill his way into the Prefect's Mansion! "
"Impossible!" Lu Yu didn't believe it at all. He pointed at the soldier and said, "Are you drunk? That Seventh Prince is clearly waiting in the camp outside the city. How would he dare to take half a step into our Zong Sui? Was it that when this official said to capture him for you to have fun with, you couldn't hold it in? Not so fast! People can't be captured so easily. Today, you should enjoy your wine. Three days later, this official will personally capture the Seventh Prince for you! "
The soldier was so anxious that he was mostly sober. He wanted to tell Lu Yu that this wasn't a joke and that Dashun's soldiers were really attacking, but Lu Yu had already hugged the beauties and kissed them again. He was so anxious that he had no choice. He saw that there was still a cup of unfinished wine on the table and simply picked it up and threw it at Lu Yu's face. This time, Lu Yu couldn't take it anymore, "What are you doing? Beat him to death! "
"Sir! This subordinate wasn't joking. Dashun really is attacking the city! "
"Attacking, my ass!" Lu Yu roared, "This official sent an invitation to that Seventh Prince and he didn't even dare to come. How would he have the ability to attack the city?"
Just as he finished speaking, he saw a figure dressed in white walk in from outside the banquet hall. Every step was taken calmly, as if he had calculated the size of each step. He was neither hurried nor slow, calmly walking to the center of the banquet hall.
Immediately after, Lu Yu heard a voice that was extremely pleasant to hear and also extremely terrifying say, "It's Prefect Lu's birthday. How could I not come?"
