The wedding was over, and the first celebration of the Kingdom of Heaven was over, followed by a grand celebration.

Since there were no birds and beasts in the latter few items, they withdrew first. However, they did not leave there, but went to the orchards of the Holy Mountain to pick fruits.

Now the supply system of the First City of Heaven has been perfected, and the daily supply of dried and fresh fruits is taken care of by these beast friends, who are delivered to the farmers' market on time and exchanged freely by the citizens. Today, due to the presence of foreign guests, they have to prepare fruit for the guests.

At the end of the conference, these beast friends came back from picking fruits. The beasts acted together, and when they landed, they presented the special fruits of the four seasons of heaven, dried fruits, and half-water and half-dried fruits to the guests.

In the past few days, these guests have been a little numb by the countless strange things, and no one can stand the fact that they have been there every day since they first arrived! But they could not help but be amazed to see these lovely monkeys, squirrels, and civets each carrying fruit plates and bringing them food in a hurry. When I look at what was sent, it feels even more mysterious.

These beasts don't eat their favorite food, but give them to people to eat, and that's it, where do you find the fruits of spring, summer, and winter? It's autumn, and these fruits have just been picked from the fruit trees.

The ensuing celebrations were rich and colorful, some of which were arbitrary, some of which were organized by various institutions themselves, some of which were suitable only for human beings, some of which were cooperative with humans and wild animals, some of which were common people, and some of which were very characteristic of military personnel.

However, Mai Ke was not blessed to participate in the party.

Originally, a large number of people, including Sven, the mayor of the first city of the Heavenly Kingdom, were looking for him, for reasons including eating, talking about things, chatting and everything. Mai Ke refused all. Leaving all the specifics to someone else to take care of, he was going to meet a special guest.

There was actually more than one such special guest, but he had to meet them one by one.

When it was decided to invite guests to attend the meeting, Mai Ke had a whim, and sent special people to invite Zeng Guofan and several of his co-organizers. This kind of behavior, which is almost mischievous on the surface, is actually a measure for Mai Ke to test the enemy.

Mai Ke did this for two obvious purposes: one was to see how bold these people were, and the other was to make some contact with them, and to prescribe the right medicine, maybe to make them throw themselves into the kingdom of heaven! But only if they had the courage to come.

Mai Ke's invitation method was quite unexpected. These eight chases are co-organized, plus the chases themselves. Mai Ke sent nine guards of the beggars. One person controls two birds of prey and goes to the place where the invitee is stationed. If the person is willing to come, he will come back with the empty bird of prey.

The inviter doesn't need to say anything, just give them a letter. It was written by Mai Ke himself. The letter simply said that they were invited. Watch something. Discuss something.

At the same time, it also shows that this invitation is only a private interaction to ensure the safety of the invitee. And it is stated that the trip is completely confidential. It will not be known to anyone.

In fact, even these guards who sent and received messages did not know who the other party was. They were just in charge of delivering the letter and bringing it back if anyone was coming.

When these nine people received the letter, they were all shocked, and Mai Ke was now a nightmare in their eyes. Needless to say, Li Hongzhang himself also wrote a summary of the purge to Zeng Guofan, and others were also informed.

Although Li Hongzhang tried his best to reduce his responsibility, he still truthfully reported the actual results, especially to his teachers, he was unwilling and did not dare to deceive.

The 20,000 green battalions and 10,000 sailors were almost wiped out, and they were all elites! Moreover, the generals did their duty and the soldiers worked hard.

And what he was most worried about was that there was Mai Ke everywhere, which made him worry. Now that he had received such a letter again, he decided not to go without much thought.

The messenger went directly with two birds of prey, and when the letter arrived, he waited outside the door straddling the birds' backs. When he received a reply that the invitee was not going, he immediately took off and left. Zeng Guofan didn't bother him either.

Li Hongzhang and Peng Yulin were beaten so that the pain did not disappear, and they also categorically refused.

In the end, someone really came, and the person who came came with the mask made by Mai Ke, and mixed with the rest of the audience to participate in the celebration meeting, and no one could know the true face of Lushan.

"Haha! Brother Jinliang, I'm sorry to keep you waiting. You're used to living here for the past two days, right?"

This mysterious guest turned out to be Zuo Zongtang!

This Zuo Zongtang is thirty-nine years old this year, although he does not have the lofty ambition and strong blood and strength of his youth, he still thinks very highly of himself and has great ambitions. Therefore, after receiving Mai Ke's invitation, he saw this as an opportunity to meet this unfathomable young man in the mouth of Zeng Da. So, without hesitation, I immediately agreed.

He heard Mai Ke call him "Jinliang", and he didn't feel a little embarrassed, this is the name he took when he was in his twenties, which means contemporary Zhuge Liang.

If he is in front of others, he may not be uncomfortable, but in front of Mai Ke, he does not have the confidence to call himself like this. So he quickly clarified: "What is Jinliang, that is the result of my foolishness when I was young and ignorant, if I were a contemporary Zhuge Liang, what are you Mai Ke, I can't compare to you one of ten." Just call me Ji Gao. ”

"Since Brother Ji Gao has an order, I might as well obey my orders if I am respectful. First of all, I would like to welcome Brother Ji Gao from afar. Thank you also for your trust in me. Come, come, come, let's sit down and have a good chat. ”

"Brother Ji Gao, you came late yesterday and didn't see the whole picture here; Can you tell us what you think of us here?"

"How old is the foolish brother, and today I know that I am indeed ambitious and not old. What you have done here, don't say I have done it, I don't think you can understand these ready-made things. When I arrived yesterday, it was late, but it was as bright as day everywhere you are. To be honest, if it weren't for your brother, I wouldn't be embarrassed to ask this question, how did this happen?"

It seems that this guy is also really anxious, so he can't help but ask. Also, at this time, practical electric lights had not yet been introduced, and electric lights were not available until 30 years later.

This is not a secret, Mai Ke briefly introduced the concept, nature, and use of electricity to him. Seeing that he listened like a drunken man, Mai Ke knew that he listened to it in vain, and his talent was not in this field.

The two of them talked about each other, and neither of them touched on their own positions.

Towards the end, Mai Ke asked a question: "Brother Su Wen Ji has lofty ambitions, 'he has no half an acre, and he worries about the world', if the conditions are met, what is your greatest wish, big brother?" (to be continued......)
