Chapter 147: Thunder

Like the prince of Shouwang, Shouwang is also a big fat man with a large size and a simple face. It's just that he is fatter than his son, and when he looks at it from a distance, he looks like a big ball of meat, and he can't see that it is a humanoid object at all.

When I got closer, I still couldn't see the true face of the Shou Wangye, for no other reason, but this prince was too fat, and his facial features were out of shape, and his eyes and nose could be seen to be an organ other than that, and there were no other characteristics to discern.

The Xiao family's unique square face and sunken eyes are not visible on King Shou's face.

Dressed in an apricot-yellow four-clawed python robe, he is less than six feet tall, but his waist is ten girths, his face is full of oil, and the fat on his body shakes as soon as he walks.

It's not the first time Qi Jinzhi has seen King Shou, but every time he sees him, he can't help but wonder, how did this prince eat himself like this? Anyway, pigs are not as fat as him!

"Please Wang Ye'an!"

Qi Ling first clasped his fists and saluted, and his attitude was very respectful.

Qi Jinzhi hurriedly held his mind and saluted with his father.

A few steps away, King Shou enthusiastically stretched out his hand, "Oh, Brother Ling Xian, you are so polite." We are all brothers who grew up together, why bother like this? This is your eldest man, right? Tsk, I haven't seen you for a few years, and I'm getting more and more productive. ”

Shouwang's breath is a little unstable, there is no way, people are too fat, and they will be tired and panting when they walk. His spirit was very good, he grabbed Qi Lingxian's arm and said a few words of greeting like a good brother. Then he looked at Qi Jinzhi, looked up and down, and said with a smile: "The kid looks really good." It's quite a bit of the old man's demeanor! ”

Qi Jinzhi's face twitched, and he said in his heart: Lord Wang, are you always praising people or burying people?! Have you in style? Which eye do you see that I'm fat, sir? To know. Shou Wangye has been a meat ball since he was sensible, and his weight has increased with age. So much so that when people in Beijing mention King Shou, the first impression is fat, and the second impression is his greed for enjoyment and honesty.

There was a groove in his heart, but Qi Jinzhi didn't dare to relax at all. According to the information collected by the Qi family's secret agents, the big fat man in front of him, who was smiling as amiably as the uncle next door, had secretly done a lot of things.

The so-called obsession. The so-called honesty and the so-called indisputability with the world are just disguises that deceive the world.

Of course. To put it more bluntly, King Shou is just 'defiling himself'. It's a bit old-fashioned, but it's very useful. Over the years, there have been several turmoils in the capital. Neither saints nor courtiers ever doubted the Shouwang Mansion.

If it weren't for Qi Jinzhi, he would have almost suffered a big loss in the southwest. forced the Qi family to spend a lot of effort to dig deep and investigate, and they would not find King Shou and King Kang.

Even if he found clues, before finding conclusive evidence, Qi Jinzhi still couldn't connect the big mountain in front of him with the mysterious mastermind behind the scenes.

…… This qiē is thanks to the success of Shouwang's disguise over the years!

This skill alone is enough to be admired by Qi Jin. No matter how amazing Shouwang's size is and how honest his face is, Qi Jinzhi does not dare to have the slightest contempt.

"Boy, meet the prince, the prince is blessed with Jin'an!"

Qi Jinzhi clenched his hands into fists. Respectfully saluted.

"Okay, this is the princess's birthday. I ordered someone to prepare the best Huiquan wine, haha, others don't know, but I know best, you Qi family men are massive, today came to my palace, you can't be polite, a happy drunk is to give me and the princess face. ”

King Shou smiled like Maitreya Buddha, and his eyes were squeezed into a slit by fat meat, covering the essence of his eyes. He happily beckoned Qi Lingxian and his son to go inside, and greeted Qi Lingxian as he walked. The attitude of Qi Lingxian is the same as a few years ago. But the problem is that at that time, Qi Lingxian was still a super first-class Qianguo Gong, holding the southwest camp in his hand, and he was in a high position, so it was normal for King Shou to look at him a few times.

It's different now, Qi Lingxian is just a petty official who has just won a meritorious position.

The official rank of four or five grades is really nothing in the capital where there are as many powerful people as dogs, let alone honors without real power.

King Shou left a room full of magnates and clans and ran to greet Qi Lingxian, a 'petty official' who had lost power, no matter how he looked at it, it was strange.

Of course, you can also say that King Shou and Qi Lingxian are old friends, and the reason why King Shou treats Qi Lingxian consistently is because King Shou has a good character, not a villain who is red and white.

But the problem comes again, if the friendship between King Shou and Qi Lingxian is really so good, then when the Qi family had an accident, King Shou didn't say a word. Well, King Shou's identity is sensitive, and he has no intention of politics, so it is not good to intercede for Qi Lingxian. So after the case of the Qi family was settled, when Qi Jinzhi came out and the Qi family set up a banquet, the relatives and friends of the Qi family came to support, and even the East Palace sent an attendant to see off Qi Jinzhi, but there was no one in the crowd from the Shouwang Mansion.

From this point, it can be seen that King Shou and Qi Lingxian's father and son are really not familiar!

The two people who are obviously not familiar with each other, King Shou just made a look like a brother in front of the powerful people in the entire capital, this, there is clearly a problem here.

The British prince and several other old princes squinted their eyes and silently looked at the scene in front of them, each with a measure in their hearts. Only when each other's eyes meet, will they hand each other a meaningful gaze.

After a while, Qi Lingxian got rid of the 'enthusiasm' of King Kaishou, and he did not come to a few grandfathers, but came to the seat of a middle-level official in accordance with the rules of officialdom.

"Qi, Lord Qi, I haven't seen you for many days, and it's really a blessing to drink with you today."

Sitting next to Qi Lingxian was a man in his forties, with a dark face and a full beard, looking like a handsome martial artist. He is the commander of the fifty percent of the soldiers and horses, and his official position is not high, but he is better than holding real power, so he can get a place at the birthday banquet of Shouwangfu.

Born in the military, he naturally recognized Qi Lingxian's identity at a glance. Although Qi Lingxian now has no title and no military power, this commander does not dare to be dismissive at all. Because there were other guests at the table, he was not good at formal salutes, so he raised his buttocks slightly, and bowed down to Qi Lingxian again and again.

Qi Ling glanced at him first, hooking his lips slightly, "The commander is too polite." Today's birthday of Princess Shou, you and I are invited guests, and we can't talk about 'luck' or 'luck'. ”

The conductor waved his hand again and again, and said straightly, 'You are too polite.' Although he was born with well-developed limbs, his mind was not simple. Stupid people can't sit firmly in the position of the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses.

Qi Lingxian's polite and detached attitude made the commander understand that the former Qianguo Duke in front of him didn't want to attract the attention of others, let alone the guests at the same table to know his true identity, so the commander didn't say much, but Qi Lingxian's attitude was still extremely respectful.

The prince of Shouwang, who warmly greeted the guests, took this scene in his eyes, and had a clearer understanding of Qi Lingxian's influence in the army: his father was right, although the Qi family lost the title of the Duke of Guo and the southwest camp, its hidden power should not be underestimated. It also has close ties with the other three major governments.

On the surface, Qi Lingxian was not close to the British Duke and others in front of people, and the meeting was just a polite greeting. As everyone knows, the more they are like this, the more suspicious they will be in the eyes of those who care - they are obviously world friends, friends of several lifetimes, and several families are not people who see the wind and steer the rudder, and there is no reason why the Qi family is in a hurry to draw a line as soon as they are defeated. They are like this, and they are clearly covering up. Secretly, I don't know how to be intimate!

Qi Jinzhi didn't know the thoughts and plans of Shouwang's father and son, he waited for his father to sit down, he was not in a hurry to enter the table, first went to find the people of Dali Temple, greeted the boss, and said a few words of greeting to colleagues, and then said hello to a few familiar Xungui children, and walked around most of the circle in the hospitality hall of Shouwang's mansion, Qi Jinzhi returned to Qi Lingxian and sat down.

"Father, King Shou's popularity in the capital is really good, two-thirds of the top people in the capital are here, and most of the officials in the court are here,"

Qi Jinzhi picked up the teacup in front of him, and whispered to Qi Lingxian: "And there is laughter and laughter everywhere, what a scene of flowers, wealth and peace!" ”

Qi Lingxian's eyes narrowed, and he sighed lowly: "King Shou really deserves his name." "It's not as deep as it is ordinary, and to this day, no one doubts him. At least looking at the entire flower hall, except for a few cautious military leaders, the vast majority of officials are estimated to be an idle prince who is drunk on pleasure and has no intention of taking the throne!

After a while, the guests who received the invitation of Shouwangfu arrived one after another, and the flower hall became more and more lively.

Shouwang smiled and stood in the middle, raised his hand and pressed down slightly.

Seeing this, the guests who were still talking to the left and right quieted down.

King Shou put his hands in front of him, smiled and squinted his eyes to thank everyone, thanking everyone for coming to attend the princess's birthday.

There is a difference between men and women, even if Princess Shou is the protagonist of the birthday banquet today, she is not good at showing up in front. Therefore, all the qiē in the flower hall are dominated by Shouwang and his son.

After the host thanked him, the guests congratulated the birthday star one after another, and after some disturbance, the banquet officially began.

Shouwang is worthy of being a laid-back prince who is famous all over the world for his 'intoxicating pleasures', and the food, wine and even utensils in Shouwang's Mansion are the best. To say that you are not afraid of taboos, the banquet level of King Shou's Mansion is higher than that of the imperial banquet in the palace.

The nobles and clansmen at the banquet all looked like they were enjoying themselves, not to mention the many petty officials from humble backgrounds and low ranks, who were full of joy and picked up their chopsticks and launched an attack on the table full of delicacies.

It didn't take long for the flower hall to be filled with the sounds of chatter, laughter, chewing, and the sound of cups and saucers clashing.

The banquet lasted until the afternoon, the host was enthusiastic, the guests were happy, and they saw that a birthday banquet was about to end. Qi Lingxian's father and son ate a meal full of concern, but they never found anything abnormal, and before they could breathe a sigh of relief, the sky outside suddenly became gloomy.

Immediately after, a deafening thunder rang out in the sky.

Boom~Boom~~

Click~click~~

The thunder sounded like a sound, and the dazzling lightning in the piled clouds was one after another, and the sound seemed to have struck people's hearts, and people couldn't help but have bursts of panic and fear.

Only King Shou's father and son, a flash of secret joy flashed on their oily faces.

ps: Eh, a certain Sa really has no face to say anything, it must be over before the end of the month, definitely! Grip the claw~ (To be continued.) )
