In the evening, located at the foot of Luoshan Taifu Mansion is full of joy, the red lantern hangs high on the warped corner outside the door, gently swaying with the breeze, the simple and solemn beam is pasted with a big "Shou" word, under the word "Shou", the greetings who come and go shuttle like a stream......

In the courtyard, the hall was already full of guests, and the sound of staggering was endless. Jiang Mei was sitting in a corner on the left side of the courtyard, wearing a moon-white robe, tying her hair with a white scarf, like a dashing and weak son.

But at this moment, she was holding the desk with both hands, and stared at the man in green shirt who was pouring wine on the opposite side with her eyes wide open.

Jiang Mei looked at the other party's happy appearance, the more she looked at it, the more angry she became, the 'rouge drunk' in Wanqinglou only brewed twenty jars a year, fortunately she had a good relationship with the young girl, so she got a small jar, and she was actually robbed ....... by the unknown man in front of her.

It is simply unbearable and unreasonable that there are such rude people in the world...... Still, she decided to make a reason,

Jiang Meiqiang held back her anger, gritted her teeth, and said fiercely: "This son, you and I have never known each other, you didn't report your name, but you robbed me of wine and drink, today's Taifu birthday banquet, how can you be so rude?" ”

"Goo Dong...Goo Dong..."

The man in green shirt on the opposite side drank the last two sips of wine, shook his head with an intoxicated face, he put down the wine jar in a dashing manner, and said with a face full of enjoyment: "It's really good wine!" If you're right... This should be the 'rouge drunk' of the evening building...."

At this moment, Jiang Mei finally saw his face clearly, but the more she looked at her, her brows wrinkled even more....

He wore a human skin mask!

Who the hell is he?

I saw the man leaning on a few leisurely, chic and casual, and said: "I heard that the 'rouge drunkenness' of the evening Qinglou was made by twenty women in various colors of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and it took a year to brew, and the number is only a handful, and Taifu Pei may not be able to let everyone drink such excellent wine tonight, since the son has such a good thing, how can he resist this temptation in the future......." After speaking, he looked at Jiang Mei with a smile in his eyes.

Jiang Mei's face gradually became stricter, people who can know the origin of 'rouge drunk' are by no means idle, Jiang Mei then leaned back, leaned on the table with one hand, put the other hand on her knees, raised her eyebrows and said: "So there are so many seats in the courtyard, Gongzi just picked the seat below..."

The man in the green shirt tilted his head and looked at her with a smile, Jiang Mei was a little embarrassed by him, frowned and glanced at him,

"In Xiayu Seven, the idle people in the rivers and lakes, don't you pay the 'girl' first..."

The word "girl" was low and powerful, and after saying that, Yu Qi waved at her, with a faint smile on her face,

Jiang Mei's eyes flashed, she looked at him fixedly, leaned closer to him, and whispered, "Why is the seventh prince wearing a human skin mask?" ”

Yu Qi's face froze, staring at Jiang Mei, her dark eyes were as elusive as a deep pool.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and then laughed again...

"Haha......"

"Haha......."

"Today's Pei family's birthday banquet is really lively...."The seventh prince took a slight sip of wine and said, the 'rouge drunk' is gone, and the two can only drink the Pei family's wine...

"Yes, up to the officials and nobles, down to the knights of the rivers and lakes, this Taifu Pei's treat is really extraordinary!" Jiang Mei looked at the people shuttling in and out of the courtyard, and couldn't help sighing,

Dahuan heavy family, noble clan, the children of the scholar clan are conceited and talented, and the family is precious, and do not interact with the Shu clan, let alone the poor people and the children of the rivers and lakes, but Pei Yan was young when he went to the east and west, and met a lot of heroes in the rivers and lakes, he lived in Xiakou, and there were many disagreements with the sergeant clan in the court, this birthday banquet, he did the opposite, did not avoid the Shishu, and spread the invitation, which was really rare for the Gao clan.

Yu Qi understood the meaning of Jiang Mei's words, he looked at her seriously, and said with a clear face: "I appreciate what Taifu does, Taifu Pei loves to make friends with talented people in the world, and what he does is broad and bold, and he also thinks that everyone in the world, regardless of fame and family, as long as there are talented people, they can associate with them, and if they are virtuous, they can rejuvenate the country!" ”

Jiang Mei's eyes flashed, revealing a light of appreciation and surprise, this person actually has such a bearing, it is really rare, so she arched her hand and said: "The child's eyes are like a candle, his wisdom is superb, and he admires it tightly!" ”

Seeing this, Yu Qi returned the salute, "Childe is polite...."

After Jiang Mei returned a cup, she squinted her eyes and said with a smile: "I think that with the grace of the Seventh Prince, you should sit inside..."

She would never believe that he was a person from the rivers and lakes, and he would not even be an ordinary scholar with such a demeanor and bearing.

Yu Qi paused, he probably understood what Jiang Mei meant, he looked towards the hall, although the lights were bright, the figures were flowing, and he couldn't really see it, but he understood that the people sitting inside were the most famous children of the Dahuan clan.

In the seventh year of Dahuan Chengqian, the Hu * clan invaded, Zhongzhou was in chaos, and the lord Xiao moved south to Jiankang under the support of the big clan, and it has been a hundred years long, and Pei, Yuan, Su, Zhang, and Xie are the heroes of the year, so these five clans are the Chinese people of Dahuan for a hundred years, and their reputation has endured.

This time, in order to reward Pei Yan's many years of meritorious service, Emperor Xiao specially asked Xiao Mocheng, the son of the Nine Emperors, to visit this old hero on behalf of the imperial court......

He didn't answer Jiang Mei, just lowered his head and drank a glass of wine, Jiang Mei didn't say anything when she saw this, and only said lightly after a while: "The Holy Lord asked the Nine Emperor Princes to come to the banquet, which is very important!" ”

"Hehe..."Yu Qi chuckled lightly and said, "Compared to the Nine Emperor Princes, I am more surprised that Mu Shizi, who is far away in Ningzhou, actually came all the way to celebrate his birthday, which is really unpredictable...."

After Jingnan Hou Muzhen beat the Yun family, he took his son back to Ningzhou, and did not set foot in the capital for 14 years.

Jiang Mei frowned slightly when she heard this, her heart trembled slightly, she picked up the wine bottle and took a sip of wine gently, her expression was a little confused.

After a while, she put down the wine bottle, looked at him and said seriously: "The seventh prince doesn't know, today's birthday banquet is so lively, there is another reason, Pei Taifu has an only granddaughter, regarded as the pearl of the palm, now seventeen years old, to be in the boudoir, Taifu wants to take advantage of this birthday banquet to choose a good son-in-law for him, presumably this is also the reason why so many young scholars have gathered in the hall..."

Jiang Mei looked at him meaningfully, trying to catch the slightest change in his face, but Yu Qi's face was calm, and he said slowly: "Whoever she marries is excellent..."

Whether it is the Nine Emperor Princes, the Mu Mansion in Ningzhou, or the Yuan family in Jingzhou and several other scholars in the imperial court, whoever marries this Pei girl is a good thing to consolidate his own power, but I don't know which one Pei Yan likes?

Jiang Mei nodded thoughtfully, "It's the same..."

The ordinary scholars in the courtyard are either talking and drinking or drinking, and the group of martial arts warriors are looking for a vacant space in the side courtyard, and the disciples of various sects are actually learning martial arts......

Everyone was immersed in a joyful atmosphere, until suddenly there was a cry in the hall:

"There are assassins! Catch the Assassin! ”

Suddenly, Jiang Mei heard the swords intersecting, the cups and plates were all over the ground, and the woman's screams were endless, this roar woke everyone up, and the crowd kept looking at the hall, and the entire Pei Mansion instantly boiled,

Jiang Mei and Yu Qi immediately stood up, and the two of them glanced at each other, knowing that something was wrong, but now that the crowd was restless, the two of them were blocked in the corner of the wall, unable to enter the hall to visit the situation.

Just as Jiang Mei craned her neck and looked towards the main hall, she saw a familiar figure coming out of the crowd.

"Ruoxue....what's going on?" Jiang Mei asked intently, Ruoxue squeezed in front of Jiang Mei and said, "Master, the Nine Emperor Princes have been assassinated..."

"What?" The two asked at the same time, Jiang Mei had a look of surprise on her face, while Yu Qi had a hidden anxiety and worry on her face...

"Is the Nine Emperors so badly injured? What about the Assassins? Jiang Mei asked,

Before Ruoxue could answer, she heard a person in the hall come out and shout to the guard in front of the door: "Close the door, take all the family members, and go to the backyard to intercept the assassin!" ”

Yu Qi's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "It seems that the assassin has escaped from the hall and gone to the backyard, so it will be easy to get out..."

Jiang Mei glanced at him, and there was some taste of inquiry, but she didn't say much, because, soon, she saw that the soldiers of Pei's Mansion were guarding all the main roads in the mansion, and the gate of Pei's Mansion was also closed.

Just as Yu Qi and Jiang Mei were thinking about each other, a person came out of the hall, and commanded his subordinates with an anxious face: "Hurry... Go to Xiaoyue Tower and ask the healer to come, Your Highness... Lost too much blood...", the man bowed his back and staggered inside.

As soon as his voice fell, the people in the courtyard were dumbfounded, if....if the Nine Emperor Princes died in Xiakou Pei Mansion, it would be really....terrible....
