Chapter 1743 Spectacular scene
The king will not accept the orders of the outside king.
The battlefield changes rapidly, and the opportunity to fight is fleeting. The changing situation destined that the leading generals must have sufficient reaction ability and ask the court for instructions on everything, and you can't even catch up with any dish.
This is the case when fighting in China, let alone crossing the ocean, so the court did not give clear instructions to Guan Yu this time, and the court had the final say on how to fight him. The court only looked at the result and did not ask about the process. Now it seems that Guan Yu did a great job. He grabbed a piece of territory and did not attract the attention of Kushan. In this way, the Han Dynasty could slowly accumulate strength and then take over the entire Kushan once the time was right.
Bamboo grew only three centimeters a year in the first three years, but began to grow wildly at a rate of thirty centimeters a day in the fourth year, and it grew to fifteen meters in just forty days. Why? Because in the first three years, bamboo extended its roots in the soil for hundreds of square meters, and the same is true for people and things. Liu Bei had a particularly deep feeling about this principle along the way. He knew clearly that the more urgent the matter is, the more we should not be anxious. The more anxious the more the more it is, the more likely it is to make mistakes. The enemy will not give you a chance to correct mistakes.
The Kushan side should be able to slowly seek it. When the Han Dynasty takes root in Panqi Country, it can instantly swallow the Kushan.
The plan to migrate to the Kushan people has been decided long ago and there is no need to discuss it again, but what should be done must be done.
After leaving the palace, Chen Deng began to be busy. He was tossing until dark and dragged his tired body back to the mansion. Without waiting for a while, he received news from several heads of family visits. It was hard to refuse when he came, so he had to go and see him.
When I arrived at the hall, I saw that these guys were not the heads of the family. In addition to the Lu family who were ranked in Jiangdong, almost all the Lu family who defected to Cao Zhe, there were also many Jingzhou families. Some were heads of the family, and some sent representatives to come.
Their purpose of coming here is also very clear, it is to go to sea.
The world is full of profits and profits. As long as profits are profitable, the aristocratic families are not afraid of any risks. Now the court is fully attacking Kushan and is preparing to take over the land there for itself. How could such a large piece of fat meat belonging to Taotie not come to eat it? Besides, there are many children of aristocratic families and many playboys. Instead of staying at home and causing trouble all day, it is better to send Kushan to the family to spread the branches and leaves.
It is no problem to send people there. The court also needs their resources and population. Without the help of aristocratic families, the court cannot operate. The question is how to distribute the interests after the past?
The heads of the family came to Chen Deng late at night, just to finalize the matter of dividing the spoils as soon as possible. It would be fine to go to Kushan, but there was always some convenience in terms of policies, otherwise, it would be a long way to go.
Chen Deng had not eaten for a day, so he was entertaining everyone while asking the kitchen to prepare meals.
The dishes were quickly served up like water, and it was difficult for everyone to leave directly after the matter was settled, so just eat and drink.
What is surprising is that there is a dish of fish sashimi in today's dishes, that is, sashimi. Chen Deng likes to eat this thing, but others are indifferent. However, in order to curry favor with Chen Deng, they still picked up chopsticks and put them in their mouths. While enduring the discomfort, they praised the taste of greatness.
Chen Deng picked up another piece and put it into his mouth, chewing it and said, "It's still a good idea to eat this thing."
Someone kindly reminded: "Tao Fu, Doctor Zhang said that there are insects in the fish sashimi, so it is better to let you eat less. You are a pillar of the man. If..." Chen Deng waved his hand and said: "Don't listen to Doctor Zhang's nonsense. There are insects in the fish sashimi. I have eaten them for so many years but I haven't seen any of them."
He didn't know if there were insects in the fish sashimi, but he knew that eating too much this thing would make him sick. Zhang Zhongjing had been treating him several times. He knew that he couldn't eat too much, but he just couldn't control his mouth.
The patriarch of Gongshuo said, "Taifu, the mirror brought by Xiaguan Gang can enlarge the object more than a hundred times. Take it over and see if there are any insects inside."
How could Chen Deng come empty-handed? I don’t know what gifts others brought, but the loss brought a mirror that was grinded out accidentally, which was similar to a magnifying glass, but it was many times stronger than a magnifying glass.
Chen Deng smiled and said happily: "Is that true? Take it over and take it."
The housekeeper had to search. After rummaging through the gift pile for a long time, he finally found a wooden box with the word "gongshu" written on it. He took it back to the hall and handed it to Chen Deng. Chen Deng opened it and saw that there was an irregular stand inside. There were two small lenses fixed in the middle of the stand. He asked curiously: "How to use it?"
The head of Gongshu went forward to take the stand, took the chopsticks and picked up a piece of fish sashimi and put it on the base. He put his eyes on the cylinder with lenses inlaid and looked closely. Through the lenses, he could clearly see that there were countless white worms with needle-tips on the fish sashimi and slowly wriggling, chewing on the fish meat with difficulty.
This scene was too shocking. The head of Gongshu was nauseous on the spot. He endured it several times and couldn't help it. He covered his mouth and ran away, ran out of the hall and rushed into the garden next to him. Then everyone in the hall heard a clear sound of vomiting.
"What, as for?"
Chen Deng teased, imitating the appearance of the Gongshu clan leader, turned his eyes over, and then rushed out after seeing it clearly, ran to the garden outside the hall and vomited.
The other guests didn't believe in evil, so they touched them and watched them quietly, but they ran up one by one and soon rushed out of the hall.
They didn't want to be so embarrassed, they couldn't help it. They all ate fish sashimi just now. Now they don't know how many insects are raging in their bodies. Who can resist vomiting when thinking about that kind of scene?
There was a group of people around the garden outside the hall, bent down and wanted to spit out all the bitter galls. The scene was so spectacular.
The others were fine, but they were done after vomiting, but Chen Deng really spit out the bitter gallbladder and squatted on the ground and vomited continuously. In the end, there was nothing to vomit, leaving only bitter water.
The butler quietly came behind him, handed a cup of water and a towel and said, "Master, please wait."
At this time, he really didn't know how to comfort him.
Chen Deng took the water cup and drank it all, then wiped the filth from his mouth with a towel, then gritted his teeth and said, "I have stewed all the fish in the mansion. From now on, there is no water swimming in the mansion."
He was really scared. Thinking about the sashimi he had swallowed in his mouth over the years, his scalp became numb. How many bugs had he fed into his stomach?
In fact, he has rarely eaten fish sashimi in recent years. Now that he has improved his cooking skills and more and more delicacies he can eat, there is no need to eat this thing every meal, just occasionally make a plate to satisfy his cravings. Otherwise, according to his previous way of eating, he would have been fucked.
The housekeeper smiled bitterly and said, "Don't worry, Master, I'll deal with it tomorrow morning. No one in the mansion is allowed to swim in the water in the future."
Chen Deng nodded with satisfaction, turned around and bowed: "You are really sorry, I'm so happy."
What else can the guests say, so they had to remind Mr. Chen to pay attention to their health. The great man cannot do without you.
Such a thing happened naturally and the banquet could not continue. Everyone gave a few compliments and said goodbye.
Chen Deng returned to the embarrassed hall and lifted up the remaining half of the fish sashimi and threw it away. Then he looked at the mirror sent by Gongshu and murmured to himself: "Thanks to Gongshu's patriarch, otherwise I would have to live for at least ten years. I have to repay my life-saving grace. Alas, illness comes from the mouth and disaster comes from the mouth. What the old saying is really right."
