Chapter 196: Congratulatory Banquet

"Wechen obeys!"

Xu San understood that as a person from Jingyang State, even if Xu Zhilan was willing to give him an official, he couldn't seal it too much, so as not to make Dahua's subjects jealous and cause unnecessary trouble. Let him run the restaurant first, which should also mean to listen to information by the way.

Then Liu Meier said Xu Zhilan's specific plan to seize the throne, so that everyone can work hard.

The three of them didn't dare to stay in the secret room for too long, and after a rough explanation, Liu Mei'er walked out of the secret room and received the ministers either in person, or sent family members to send congratulatory gifts.

Xu Zhilan returned to the house and took Liu Meier back to the palace to participate in the congratulatory banquet prepared by the queen.

Whether he wanted it or not, Xu Zhiyuan, who was so aggrieved that he was about to vomit blood, had to back up his gifts, attend the royal family banquet, and congratulate Xu Zhilan and Liu Mei'er, but he only drank one cup on the grounds that he was going to lead the troops to the battle tomorrow, and then stopped drinking.

Also aggrieved is Princess Chongyang, but she also has to come to congratulate.

Because it was a banquet, Princess Ziyang also came to the banquet, and when she saw Xu Zhilan and Liu Mei'er's happy looks, she felt very uncomfortable.

The three of them were unhappy, and it did not affect the mood of Xu Zhao, Queen Wang, Princess Jinyang and others, and the atmosphere of the whole family banquet was very good.

Seeing a cold light flashing in Xu Zhiyuan's eyes, Xu Zhao only pretended not to be seen, and said to Queen Wang: "Queen, you haven't been back to your hometown in Mianyang for a long time, I heard that your father-in-law is not in good health, I will accompany you back tomorrow." ”

Queen Wang was stunned for a moment, her old father was not sick! But she knew that Xu Zhao must have a deep meaning when she said this, so she hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Sure enough, Xu Zhao's eyes swept over Xu Zhilan and Princess Jinyang, and said, "Yangtao, when I am not in Jinling, you preside over the court meeting for me!" Jinyang, the newlywed king of Yangtao, has a lot to do, you have to work harder! ”

Xu Zhiyuan was so angry that when he drank to relieve his boredom, he almost didn't choke! He knew that Xu Zhao deliberately let Xu Zhilan and Jinyang take charge when he left the court, and accelerated the purchase of people's hearts.

Liu Mei'er also took a sip of wine, but she was overjoyed in her heart, and she drank to cover it up.

Xu Zhao saw that Xu Zhilan's face was panicked, and knew that Liu Meier should have blown some bad pillow wind, and Xu Zhilan should be unwilling! Xu Zhao nodded secretly in his heart.

After the banquet was dispersed, for the convenience of the court, Xu Zhilan took Liu Mei'er to live in Yangtao Palace, counted the gifts received, Xu Zhiyuan was the most angry, and only sealed one hundred taels.

On October 29, the forbidden army in Jinling left three teams, and a team of 300 people went to Jingyang State to give dowry gifts; One team is to escort the emperor and empress to Mianyang to fulfill filial piety; The other team is Xu Zhiyuan's brigade to exterminate Tiger Roaring Heights, and the general of the forbidden army who leads the army is Lu Yuanyou.

At this moment, in the Tiger Roaring Villa, Xiao Jinfeng's cousin Xiao Jinyun brought Xu Zhiyuan's plan.

Mo Wentian recalled the past: Back then, it was he who wanted to dominate Tiger Roaring Heights Villa, and he hit it off with Xu Zhao, he obeyed Xu Zhao's arrangement and wanted to destroy the Luo family of Tiger Roaring Heights, but it backfired, leaving behind Luo Zhuxin, who had unfathomable martial arts!

After that, Mo Wentian could only believe Xu Zhao's words again, and "found out" that the person who committed the crime was arranged by the former prince. It was inconvenient for Luo Zhuxin to come forward, so he took the disciples of Tiger Roaring Heights to avenge the Luo family, and killed several opponents for Xu Zhao, including Xu Zhiyuan's father.

Luo Zhuxin became the only seedling of the Luo family, and she was very successful in terms of security, Mo Wentian had no chance to kill Luo Zhuxin silently and become the master of Tiger Roaring Villa.

Xu Zhao found that the frustrated Mo Wentian wanted to leave Tiger Roaring Villa, so Xu Zhao found a beautiful palace maid to accompany Mo Wentian, and after staying for the Mo family, he first appeased Mo Wentian, saying that the occupation of Tiger Roaring Villa could be discussed in the long run, so there was Mo Shishi. According to Xu Zhao's plan, of course, he used Mo Wentian's descendants as a blackmail to force Mo Wentian to continue to do things for him, and to force Mo Wentian not to talk nonsense. So, there was the fact that Luo Zhuxin found out that Mo Wentian had a child outside, and Luo Zhuxin didn't want to force Mo Wentian too much, so she left Mo Shishi with a small life.

Mo Shishi is a hostage of Xu Zhao, so there is a secret whistle to watch. Later, Xu Zhao saw that Mo Shishi was beautiful, so he accepted her as a concubine, although Mo Wentian was reluctant, he couldn't object. When Princess Chongyang had a chance to succeed to the throne, Mo Wentian was very excited, he felt that as long as he repeated his old tricks, Princess Chongyang had a great chance of ascending to the throne. When Chongyang takes the throne, the Luo family will become the Mo family! But the excitement hasn't passed, and he was beaten by Xu Zhilan again!

Mo Wentian has evidence in his hand that Xu Zhao asked him to commit the crime back then, which is also the reason why Xu Zhao has not dared to kill him for many years. Now that Xu Zhilan is in charge, Xu Zhao sent someone to send a message to Mo Wentian in time, saying that as long as Mo Wentian destroys Xu Zhiyuan, Princess Chongyang will still have a chance to compete for the prince of Dahua.

Therefore, Mo Wentian wanted to kill Xu Zhiyuan, but it was not Mo Wentian's turn to call the shots in Tiger Roaring Villa! After hearing Xu Zhiyuan's plan, Mo Wentian cast an inquiring glance at Luo Zhuxin.

Luo Zhuxin's mood is also very complicated, when Mo Shishi became a concubine, Mo Guifei secretly helped Mo Wentian cultivate power, and now Tiger Roaring Villa has been a little shaken. Since hearing that Princess Chongyang participated in the court meeting, Luo Zhuxin's mood has not been very good, she knows that her eldest grandson Luo Xiaotian and others are helping Princess Chongyang, but she is inconvenient to turn her face! Therefore, she had already planned to part ways with Mo Wentian and the Baoluo family, but she couldn't find an excuse, so her feelings for Xu Zhilan could be said to be mixed.

"My Tiger Roaring Villa can be burned by King Qin, and my disciples of Tiger Roaring Heights will withdraw from the rivers and lakes and return to the mountains and forests. But we won't help you kill King Yangtao and the three princesses who have back points, and we won't go to Yangtao County to capture Prime Minister Xi as a hostage! Luo Zhuxin told Xiao Jinyun the final decision.

"When the King of Qin ascends the throne and crowns your Luo family as the king, are you not enough? Could it be that Princess Chongyang gave you more favorable conditions? If so, if you bring it up, you can also discuss it with King Qin. Xiao Jinyun didn't know the complicated relationship of Tiger Roaring Heights, and thought that the chips were not enough.

"We Tiger Roaring Heights have been from the rivers and lakes for generations, and we don't deal with the imperial court, and as soon as we cooperated with Princess Chongyang, Tiger Roaring Heights Villa was wiped out. The grass people of the rivers and lakes are the grass people of the rivers and lakes, and it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance! King Qin's kindness, we understand it! Luo Zhuxin said again.

"Don't you want to kill King Yangtao to take revenge?" Xiao Jinyun wanted to talk about hatred.

"King Yangtao not only has an enmity with us, but also with your King Qin. No matter how powerful Tiger Roaring Heights is, can it still be stronger than King Qin? We will not participate in this matter of revenge and blood hatred, and leave it to you King Qin to seal the enemy with his own blood! Luo Zhuxin said lightly.

Xiao Jinyun looked at Mo Wentian and asked, "That's what Master Mo meant?" ”

"Madame's meaning, that's what I mean! Thank you King Qin for your kindness! After Mo Wentian made a statement, he picked up the teacup and said to Luo Zhuxin: "Madam, without further ado, it seems that we will arrange it sooner or later!" ”

Xiao Jinyun saw that Mo Wentian picked up the teacup, so he had to exit the secret room first.
