Jin Xi bowed his head, indicating that he had listened, and then he saw Li Xue waving his hand to this side, telling him that it was time to come over, and the guest of honor was seated. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The banquet guests are divided into two rows, on the left is the crown prince Fu Hong, the plain prince Fu Yu, Changle Gong Fu Dan and other imperial relatives, on the right is the first rank of the military Marquis Xun Ce, followed by Murong Hui, in the middle of which is Murong Jin, Jin Xi, Li Xue, and then the important civil and military ministers.

After a while, the monarch of Qi Guo Fu Mian was helped into Xingqing Palace by the eunuch Yang Miao, and everyone got up and bowed, only Murong Jin and Jin Xi only saluted as if they had a tacit understanding, and did not kneel and bow.

Fu Mian sat down on the side of the dragon chair, her face radiant, and her face was full of spring breeze to let the ministers "flat". The ministers took their seats.

"Today, I am holding this celebration banquet in Xingqing Palace," Fu Xuan cleared his throat and said with a light smile, "First, to welcome General Jin Xi and Murong Jin, and second, to celebrate the achievements of the soldiers of the Battle of Xiangyang." ”

"Your Majesty's reputation," Xun Ce stood up, bowed and said, "Opening up the territory and killing the enemy is the duty of a courtier, and Your Majesty will be rewarded with a seal on the day when the ministers return to the court, how can you afford Your Majesty to celebrate again-"

"General Xun's words are fallacious!" Pingyuan Gongfu Yu refuted with a little sneer, "Father and Emperor Fang just made it clear that today's banquet is to welcome General Jin Xi and Princess Murong Jin, the protagonists are these two, followed by the soldiers in front, and you put the cart before the horse, and once again mention your military exploits, it is completely like a distinguished guest in a false position!" Fu Yu was stunned, and said coldly, "General Xun, do you think that your father's reward is not enough, and you are dissatisfied with the topic, or do you intend to embarrass the foreign guests specially invited by your father?!" ”

Xun Ce's face changed slightly, but he returned to normal in an instant, did not argue, and only said: "The minister lost his words, and the third prince Xie mentioned it." ”

"Brother Sanhuang, today my father is having a banquet for distinguished guests, don't be so stubborn," Changle Gong Fu Dan interjected, "Originally, Marquis Xun just said a few words to show loyalty, how did he come to you and become ill-intentioned." ”

Fu Yu smiled coldly and said, "I just said a fair word, why should the fifth brother rush to protect him?" I know that you have always had a close relationship with Marquis Xun, but you can't protect your shortcomings so blatantly-"

"You ......" Fu Dan was so angry that his face turned green.

Yang Miao saw that Qi Guojun Long Yan was calm, but his eyes were gloomy, and he knew that Fu Mian was furious in his heart, so he hurriedly turned around and said:

"The two princes are angry, the banquet begins, please take a seat," and nodded in the direction of Jin Xi, "Let General Jin smile, and please Haihan." ”

"Gong Yang's words are serious," Jin Xi slowly got up and saluted back, "At this time, it is all because of the dispute between the grass people, and I should apologize to Your Majesty and the two princes." ”

"General Jin doesn't have to apologize, this matter has nothing to do with you, it's all ignorance of the dog, sweeping the general's Yaxing.

Fu Xuan glanced coldly at Pingyang Gong and Changle Gong.

"It's the son's son who talks too much, and he asks his father to punish him." Fu Yu changed his previous unforgiving posture and bowed his head, "Please also ask General Jin not to blame." ”

"Your Royal Highness is serious, and the grass people don't dare to be it." Jin Xi said lightly, and drew a clear line between himself and Fu Yu.

Murong Jin, who was sitting next to Jin Xi, was moved, could it be that Fu Yu did it for Qi Guojun and Jin Xi to see?

He knew that Fu Mian valued Jin Xi, and wanted to take the opportunity to win over his father, and win the emperor's heart? !

Fu Dan was unconvinced: his father's courtesy to a foreign captive was something he had never done before, and he really couldn't see that this Jin Xi was worthy of such treatment except for his prestige on the battlefield, and it was far more important than paying attention to him as a prince.

"General Jin doesn't have to be too humble, you can afford it, please take a seat!" Fu Mian didn't pay attention to Fu Yu's completely different attitudes from Fu Dan, directly appeased Jin Xi, and then turned to Yang Miao and said, "Announce." ”

Yang Miao opened her voice and said, "The celebration banquet begins!" ”

Accompanied by graceful and graceful repertoire, the long-sleeved palace maids who are good at dancing floated in, dancing, graceful and enchanting. Fu Mian nodded with satisfaction, but when he looked at Jin Xi, he found that Jin Xi was not interested in watching singing and dancing, his face was calm and indifferent, and he only glanced up occasionally, then lowered his head to drink tea.

Fu Mu frowned slightly, thinking that this General Jin must not be a person who is easy to make fun of, singing and dancing are not pleasing, so the poetry and ancient songs will naturally not enter his eyes......

Just when he was worried, Xun Ce got up again and walked to the center of the hall and said to Jin Xi:

"Wanting to come to the banquet is not in line with General Jin's intentions?"

Jin Xi lifted his eyelids and said expressionlessly:

"Thank you Marquis Xun for your compassion, the grass people really don't have any preference for singing, dancing and singing, please forgive me," he turned his head and said to Fu Xuan, "But you can't spoil the interest of Your Majesty and the ministers, Your Majesty can just treat the grass people as if they don't exist." ”

Before Fu Xuan could respond, Xun Ce had already smiled and said: "General Jin is a fierce general on the battlefield, so he naturally won't care about such a thing as playing with Fengyue." ”

"What about the general?" Jin Xi took a sip of tea from the lotus porcelain cup and asked unhurriedly.

"I have heard that General Jin is good at martial arts, good at sword dancing, and very pleasing to the eye," Xun Ce bowed down, his posture very low, "Can you implore the general to come forward and show it, let us open our eyes and see the martial arts of the Jin Kingdom." ”

Murong Jin suddenly became nervous, and wanted to remind Jin Xi to pay attention, but because everyone was at a loss, he had to wait and see what happened.

"Great Jin Martial Arts?" Jin Xi paused slightly, and then asked with a shallow smile, "He has had several confrontations on the battlefield in Japan, hasn't Marquis Xun yet learned?" ”

A low snickerer sounded in the Xingqing Palace, Xun Ce's defeat to the Great Jin Army several times was known to everyone in Qi Kingdom, and it was also his fatal joke in front of his political enemies - but Xun Ce deserved to be a first-class military marquis, and such an embarrassing and humiliating scene was still as steady as Mount Tai:

"General Jin laughed, because he couldn't understand the essentials several times, so he wanted to teach him in person today, and asked the general not to shirk."

Jin Xi tasted tea and was silent, Xun Ce didn't want to give him too much time to think, so he said:

"General Jin has no difficulty in saying it, I have always been generous and benevolent to foreign 'distinguished guests', I believe you have a deeper understanding than me, it is not difficult for you to come up to show martial arts, and it is not difficult for you to dance the sword to help you entertain, don't you want to repay Your Majesty's sincerity to the general?"

Jin Xi stared for a moment, then suddenly stood up slowly and walked steadily towards the center of Xingqing Palace.

Murong Jin's heart lifted, and his heart was anxious: What's the matter with this Jin Xi, did the words that reminded him before the banquet fall on deaf ears?

Jumping into it knowing it's a trap, crazy or something? No, could it be that Jin Xi would want to kidnap Xun Ce and flee back to Dajin as Murong Hui expected?!

Murong Jin's heart lifted.
