Three Kingdoms: I, Liu Feng, do not want to die

Chapter 2: Honey Trap, Are You Testing Me?
Liu Feng dismounted and handed the warhorse to his personal guard Tian Qi.

Tian Qi was an old soldier from Youzhou who had followed Liu Bei for more than 20 years. He was also one of Chen Dao's capable generals, cautious and brave by nature.

Liu Bei was worried that Liu Feng was too young to judge people, so he appointed Tian Qi as Liu Feng's personal guard captain.

The adopted son's personal guards are related to the adopted son's safety. Liu Bei would not feel at ease if a stranger were to replace him. This is also one of the manifestations of Liu Bei's daily pampering for Liu Feng.

Liu Feng smiled and returned the greeting: "Shen Zhengbei is too modest. You are the General Zhengbei and you are older than me. How can you call yourself a junior general in front of me?"

Shen Dan said in a more respectful tone: "The general is the king's adopted son, and he is also ordered by the king to guard Shangyong. Although I am the general of the Northern Expedition, I dare not regard myself as an elder in front of the general."

Liu Feng laughed.

No one asked Shen Dan to change his name again.

Something unexpected happened in Jingzhou, Meng Da was angry and playing tricks in Shangyong, so Liu Feng needed the help of the powerful family of Shangyong to change his fate.

Shen Dan was willing to take the initiative to show goodwill, so Liu Feng was naturally happy about it.

banquet.

A layer of white cloth (cotton fabric) is laid on the delicate bamboo mat, and a layer of Shu brocade is laid on the white cloth, making it look comfortable, warm and elegant.

The table is also a fine product carefully carved by craftsmen, and the fruits on the table are also carefully selected and elegantly arranged.

On both sides of the table, there were two beautiful maids wearing precious Shu brocade robes, kneeling with their heads bowed.

Shen Dan could say without hesitation that there would be no banquet in Shangyong City that could be arranged more luxuriously.

Obviously.

Shen Dan attached great importance to this banquet for Liu Feng.

This was not the first time that Liu Feng attended a high-end banquet, so he would not be as surprised and out of control as Liu Laolao when she entered the Grand View Garden.

For Liu Feng.

The more high-end the banquet Shen Dan prepares, the bigger the matter Shen Dan wants Liu Feng to do.

What Liu Feng is least afraid of now is that Shen Dan has desires. What he is afraid of is that Shen Dan has no desires.

After inviting Liu Feng to take his seat, Shen Dan waved to the audience.

A group of dancers and singers dressed in brocade clothes came slowly, some waving their long sleeves and dancing gracefully, some playing the piano and singing.

The maids kneeling on both sides of Liu Feng were pouring wine while the other handed the wine jar to Liu Feng.

Shen Dan raised his cup and said, "Shangyong is a small place, which cannot compare to Shu County. I hope the deputy general will not despise me for my poor hospitality."

Liu Feng raised his cup and saluted: "Shu County has its own beauty, Shangyong has its own style. Shen Zhengbei treated me with his hospitality, how could I despise him?"

Shen Dan laughed: "The deputy general is very talented, I admire him."

During the banquet.

Shen Dan only mentioned Shangyong's style and made many witty remarks, which created a very comfortable atmosphere for the banquet.

Liu Feng was no stranger to the banquets and entertainments among scholars, such as listening to songs, watching dances, drinking wine and composing poems.

Shen Dan didn't mention anything else, so Liu Feng naturally didn't ask any questions. He just quietly enjoyed the singing, dancing and wine.

When the singing and dancing were about to end, Shen Dan whispered something to the maid beside him.

After a while.

Another dancer came.

What was different was that the new dancer was wearing a bright red brocade skirt, which formed a sharp contrast between the red and white of the other dancers in plain brocade clothes.

Her dance was graceful and her eyes seemed to be filled with spring water. Even though Liu Feng had seen many beauties, he could not help but stop and stare.

Looking at the dancer who was obviously dancing towards him, Liu Feng couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.

Even the beauty trap was used.

Shen Dan, you are testing me.

Seeing Liu Feng focusing on the dancer in the red skirt, Shen Dan asked with a smile, "Deputy General, do you like this dance?"

Liu Feng put down the wine bottle, chuckled and asked, "Where is this woman from?"

Shen Dan stroked his goatee and said with a smile, "This girl is from Guanzhong. Her original surname is Wang and her name is Shu. She fell into trouble here from Guanzhong when she was young. I felt sorry for her, so I adopted her as my daughter and raised her in my mansion. She is only nineteen years old, and has not been betrothed to anyone yet." Liu Feng couldn't help but twitch his lips.

I just asked who you are from, and you are an adopted daughter but you haven't been promised to anyone yet.

You are really good at using the beauty trap.

Liu Feng glanced at Shen Dan meaningfully and said, "Shen Zhengbei, you have drunk the wine and appreciated the dance. If you have something important to say, please speak up."

Shen Dan was waiting for these words and quickly dismissed his attendants, leaving only the dancer Shen Shu to pour wine.

Whether she was dancing or pouring wine, Shin Suk's demeanor was extremely natural, as if she was born with natural charm.

Shen Dan bowed and said, "Shangyong is a place of hardship and boredom. If there is no smart person around, I am afraid that the general will not be able to adapt to the climate and soil of Shangyong."

"Shuji has been in Shangyong for a long time and has a gentle and kind nature. If the general is interested, I would like to send Shuji to the general to relieve his boredom."

Shen Shu handed the wine bottle to Liu Feng, her body light and voice soft, her eyes full of spring water: "If the general does not mind my humble concubine's vulgarity, I am willing to sweep the bed and wash the dust for the general, and I have no other request."

Liu Feng suddenly understood Lu Bu a little.

Few people can resist the beauty trap.

Look at Shen Dan’s reason: he was afraid that Liu Feng would not be able to adapt to the climate and soil in Shangyong, so he found someone who had lived in Shangyong for a long time to take care of Liu Feng and relieve his boredom.

Let’s look at Shen Shu’s reasons: she was just cleaning the bed for Liu Feng and didn’t think about asking for any status.

All aspects have been considered for Liu Feng, just waiting for Liu Feng to pick the peach Shen Shu.

Liu Feng was also unable to resist such a beauty trap.

Or perhaps Liu Feng was originally interested in getting closer to Shen Dan and did not deliberately take precautions.

Not to mention a beauty like Shen Shu, Liu Feng would not refuse even if it was an ordinary dancer.

Liu Feng took the wine bottle handed over by Shen Shu and chuckled, "Shen Zhengbei is so kind, how can I disappoint him?"

"I want Shuji. Please also ask Shen Zhengbei to prepare a room for me so that Shuji can clean the bed and wash the floor for me."

"Tonight I will go north with Shen Zheng, and I won't return until I'm drunk."

Shen Dan was overjoyed.

If Liu Feng is willing to accept Shu Ji, it means that the next things will be easy to discuss.

Shin Suk tactfully bowed and left.

Only Liu Feng and Shen Dan were left at the banquet.

Shen Dan no longer hid his feelings and bowed again: "I also ask the deputy general to have sympathy for the admiration of the Han people and their willingness to follow the king, and to discipline the soldiers under his command to enforce strict military discipline."

Liu Feng gently shook the wine jar and asked: "Are the soldiers you asked me to control the soldiers I brought from Hanzhong or the soldiers of General Meng?"

Shen Dan said bluntly: "He is a soldier under General Meng, the deputy general."

Liu Feng looked at Shen Dan meaningfully and said, "Shen Zhengbei, you should go to the banquet to entertain General Meng."

Shen Dan said solemnly, "The governors of the three counties of Shangyong and all the officers and officials are all headed by the deputy general."

"If I privately invite General Meng to a banquet to discuss military discipline, it would be disrespectful to the deputy general and disloyal to the king."

"Meng Pianjiang's soldiers are also the deputy general's soldiers, so they should be under the control of the deputy general."

Shen Dan almost said to Liu Feng directly: Meng Da is nothing, General, you are the best leader! Meng Da has no clear military discipline, which is both disrespectful to the general and disloyal to the king. General, go and punish Meng Da.

Shen Dan was very anxious.

If Meng Da is allowed to allow his soldiers to rob civilians of their money, the Shen family's prestige in Shangyong will be shaken.

The prestige of local nobles also needs to be maintained on a daily basis.

The money of the common people was robbed, but Shen Dan, as the governor of Shangyong, did not dare to stand up for them. In the future, the disappointed common people would not support Shen Dan.

Without the support of the people, even the powerful families would decline, and Shen Dan, the governor of Shangyong, would be replaced.

This is also the reason why Shen Dan was anxious to host a banquet for Liu Feng, send beautiful women and show his loyalty.

Shen Dan looked at Liu Feng nervously.
