Chapter 198: Brothers and sisters
Chapter 198 Brothers and sisters
The middle-aged man endured the grievance, and left with his confidants and soldiers, embarrassed and unwilling.
Ye Anlan looked disgusted, "This kind of person can actually be the second in command of a rebel force. Are the current leaders of the rebel army so picky?"
Wen Liuniang talked about the facts, "This man is still very good at kung fu."
If he hadn't been pampered for a long time, his body was hollowed out by excessive drinking, and the opponent happened to be Yang Xiaotao, a strange girl with extremely high martial arts talent, then the middle-aged man would not have lost so badly.
"No matter how good your skills are, what's the use of poor character?" Ye Anlan still disapproved of the rough practice of hiring people based only on their ability and not on their character. She said to everyone present: "This person has suffered a lot from us." , The way I look at him, he will definitely try to get revenge on us later. You should be more vigilant these days, if you go out for something, remember to go with at least five people, just in case."
Everyone answered "Yes" in unison, and Yang Xiaotao asked Ye Anlan, "Then do you want to bring more people to the banquet?"
Ye Anlan shook her head, "No need."
Instead of letting those scumbags focus on other people, Ye Anlan expects them to regard herself as a target of revenge.

The next evening, Ye Anlan, dressed in men's clothing, rode to Xie Yuan's City Lord's Mansion with Wen Liuniang, who was also dressed in men's clothing, and an excited Zheng Fengshou.
Xie Yuan's City Lord's Mansion was extremely lively at this time. In order to entertain the representatives of the rebels from all walks of life who came to congratulate him, Xie Yuan changed his frugal style in the past and invited many famous chefs to hold a grand banquet in the mansion.
Ye Anlan and his party of three were the fewest among all the guests who came to the banquet, and they acted the most low-key. They handed over the gifts to the staff of the City Lord's Mansion who were in charge of receiving and registering the gifts, and then wandered to the banquet venue.
Along the way, Zheng Fengshou looked around excitedly.
He was born in the countryside, unlike Wen Liuniang and Ye Anlan, who have seen many big scenes before, this is the first time for this child to see such a luxurious scene.
The precious flowers and trees from the greenhouses on both sides of the road, the red lanterns hanging above everyone’s heads, the beautiful patterns carved on the veranda, the clever servants who shuttle back and forth with standard hospitality smiles on their faces, and the elite guards standing upright like javelins , the sound of silk and bamboo orchestra faintly entering the ears.
All of these are Zheng Fengshou's first experiences.
Ye Anlan doesn't stick to him, he can watch whatever he wants as long as he doesn't leave the team, other guests occasionally cast a disdainful glance at Zheng Fengshou, but it's a pity that Zheng Fengshou didn't receive any feedback from others at all. Contemptuous eyes.
Led by the guide boy, the three of them easily found their exclusive seats.
I don't know if it's due to concerns that the various forces may not be in harmony, and it is easy to cause trouble when sitting together. This time, Xie Yuan did not use the big round table that is more suitable for banquets, but a table that can only seat three people. A long strip table.
Ye Anlan sat leisurely behind the empty table, while Wen Liuniang and Zheng Fengshou sat next to Ye Anlan, one on the left and one on the right.
As soon as the three of them sat down, the representative of the rebel army who was drinking and talking loudly patted the table with dissatisfaction, "What's the matter with you? Your Master Liu was going to sit at that table before. Rang, now the three yellow-mouthed children have been arranged, what's the matter, don't you Mr. Liu deserve to sit at that table?"
The young man who led Ye Anlan and the others smiled and bowed, "Master Liu, you have misunderstood. You don't dare to arrange seats for the distinguished guests without authorization. We just listen to the orders from above to lead the way."
The strong man who called himself Lord Liu was about to say a few more words, but Shi Rong, who was sitting at the table next to him, came over to greet Ye Anlan with a smile, "Miss Ye."
Ye Anlan stood up, bowed her hands and returned the salute, "Master Shi."
The strong man who called himself Lord Liu was obviously a little jealous of Shi Rong, he closed his mouth with aggrieved expression, and turned his head away.
Shi Rong blinked at Ye Anlan, Ye Anlan was amused by his narrow expression, "Thank you Mr. Shi for helping me out."
"It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning." Shi Rong didn't seem to feel the hot gaze from behind him, he just stood tall and tall in front of Ye Anlan, chatting with her without saying a word.
Zheng Fengshou, who was sitting next to the two of them, was eating while watching the actor's performance on the stage. He had long forgotten that he actually came to the banquet as Ye Anlan's bodyguard.
On the contrary, it was Wen Liuniang who stood behind Ye Anlan like a shadow all the time, unobtrusive but also able to protect the lord at any time.
Shi Rong chatted with Ye Anlan for a few words about her being blocked and provoked by people yesterday, expressed his concern and support in a moderate way, and then left with a smile on his face.
Ye Anlan sent Shi Rong away, returned to her seat and sat down, and laughed and laughed with Zheng Fengshou while watching the actors dance.
Wen Liuniang, who was like a shadow, sat on the other side of her, but her attention was always on the other guests present.
After a cup of tea, Xie Yuan, the host, finally made his grand debut surrounded by his subordinates.
As soon as the communication at the door sounded, Ye Anlan turned her head subconsciously.
It's just that unlike the other guests who were staring at Xie Yuan closely, what Ye Anlan was staring at right now was the counselor Li Jing who was half a step behind Xie Yuan.
Li Jing wore an extremely low-key, unobtrusive cyan gown, but even so, he was still extremely dazzling in Ye Anlan's eyes.
While everyone was looking over there, she made eye contact with Li Jing.
Li Jing subconsciously smiled at her, Ye Anlan saw her, and the corners of her lips rose slightly.
However, at this moment, Han Rong's face suddenly appeared from behind Li Jing's side.
He smiled brightly, as if he was afraid that others would not know, he quickly cupped his hands at Ye Anlan's side in a seemingly secretive but ostentatious way.
The guests who were sizing up Xie Yuan and his subordinates immediately followed the direction of Han Rong's eyes, and all looked at Ye Anlan, who was still smiling.
Ye Anlan scolded Han Rong secretly in her heart, but the smile on her face still maintained the perfect arc just now.
She took the initiative to leave the table, walked up to Xie Yuan and bowed her hands, "Senior brother."
Everyone:? ? ?
Xie Yuan, who didn't notice Han Rong's actions, was a little surprised, "Junior Sister."
The simple four words of the two of them caused everyone in the room to discuss in an uproar.
Many people heard for the first time that Xie Yuan and Ye Anlan were actually brothers and sisters.
They either asked loudly, or whispered, or exchanged eyes with each other tacitly. What they thought was nothing more than, since Xie Yuan and Ye Anlan have such a relationship, should their territory and military strength be treated as a family? ?
