In the splendid main hall, many guests sat in it, Xu Buling and Xiao Qi sat in the first place on the right, and there were Wang Zou Yin and others nearby. Mrs. Lu and Xiao Ting were in the back seats, chatting politely with the sons and wives.

As the lights on the West Lake turned on, the birthday banquet officially began, and Song Siming, the king of Wu, slowly came to the main hall and sat down with the support of his son.

Xu Buling saw King Wu for the first time, and had heard that King Wu was riddled with old diseases, but he didn't expect that he was skinny, it was difficult to even stand firm, and his complexion was also very vain, and he didn't seem to have much strength.

However, King Wu was in a very good mood, first said some words about the recent disaster, representatives of all parties came forward to congratulate him on his birthday, King Wu responded one by one, his words were fluent and his thoughts were clear, and it seemed that the injury had not affected his brain.

Xu Buling also had the speculation that King Wu was bewitched by demonic words, and when he saw this scene, he also dispelled this idea.

After the formal etiquette was over, many guests began to toast and sing congratulatory messages, King Wu was weak and did not drink, so he let his son replace him, and he turned his eyes to Xu Buling on the right hand, and said with a smile:

"What I have done recently has made this king's heart quite happy. Yang Yingxiong, the scum who deceived and deceived his subordinates, if you hadn't helped this king clean up the portal, this king would still be kept in the dark......"

Xu Buling knew that King Wu would be the first to forgive him for killing people, and chuckled lightly:

"I don't know the relationship between Yang Yingxiong and King Wu in advance, otherwise I will definitely say hello to the prince first."

"Huh." King Wu raised his hand lightly: "The dignified King Xu family, in case of injustice, he should draw his sword to enforce discipline and law, if there is no decisive courage to kill, General Xu will not be able to calm the world back then." It was a few days ago in Hongshan Lake, a little too risky. Hongshan Fortress is easy to defend and difficult to attack, you should greet this king and let you bring your soldiers and horses over......"

This is, Xu Buling dared to ask for military power in Jiangnan, and it must have reached the ears of the emperor when he turned around, and then he didn't need to suppress bandits, just go to Chang'an City to receive the reward.

Xu Buling nodded with a smile: "I have a bit of an impulsive personality since I was a child, and I didn't think about it so much at the time, but now that I think about it, I am a little reckless." ”

King Wu sighed: "You should be young and vigorous, you have to lead the troops to deter the Northern Qi in the future, if you are indecisive, there will really be problems." However, your martial arts really opened the eyes of this king, Jiangnan is very civil, and the only one who can fight is Xue Chengzhi, and he was beaten down by you. I heard that before you came to Jiangnan, you single-handedly entered the Black City......"

That's not to the point.

Xu Buling saw that King Wu slowly introduced the topic to jade, and he was a little anxious to listen, he was here to show King Wu jade, and he answered cleanly at the moment:

"King Wu passed the award, he just went over casually at that time, and it happened that he also met the birthday banquet of Prince Zuo Jiang Yu, and he also snatched a family heirloom jade pendant from him......"

King Wu was a little surprised when he saw that Xu Buling was so upright, hesitated, nodded and chuckled:

"This king has heard people talk about it, and this move can be described as very happy......"

Xu Buling took out the jade pendant from his arms, plucked the hairpin from his head, and took it in his hand and looked at it a few times:

"Yes, I heard later that the rivers and lakes were looking for these four pieces of jade, but unfortunately the sword spikes obtained in the Cao family were lost, and only these two pieces remained. Listening to Wang Ruiyang, King Wu likes jade quite a lot......"

Wang Zouyin, Han Xianchu and others were all slightly silent when they heard the words, and at the same time they were surprised, they also showed surprise in their eyes, and they almost opened their mouths to praise and admit that they were not sensible.

King Wu pondered and meditated hard last night in the middle of the night, but at this time it had no effect, and he was still a little dazed for a while, looking at the two jade pieces that he thought about every day, and didn't know what to say.

Xu Buling played with the jade artifact and continued: "These two jade artifacts are quite rare, and they should have been given to King Wu. It's a pity that when he came, he promised his favorite girl, as the prince of the vassal king, he couldn't be untrustworthy to his subordinates, and asked King Wu not to blame. ”

In the public, when it came to this, King Wu couldn't forcibly ask for it, so he didn't care, and nodded with a smile:

"This king is indeed interested in the jade left over from the previous dynasty, but it has been promised to the girl's family, and the sword will inevitably be laughed at by your father. Well...... Since he has come to Hangzhou, he must stay in Hangzhou for a few more days, so that this king can fulfill the friendship of the landlord......"

Xu Buling knew what King Wu wanted to say, so he raised his hand very generously and handed the hairpin and jade pendant to King Wu: "This is natural, the prince likes jade, and it is natural to take it for a few days to watch, in fact, it is not a rare object, and it is also a god uploaded by the rivers and lakes." ”

“……”

Seeing Xu Buling so cooperative, King Wu was really a little moved, he knew that he wouldn't listen to the strategist's stupid moves, and he would have waited in Hangzhou honestly......

King Wu looked at the jade, but he didn't shirk politeness, raised his hand to take it and looked at it a few times, then put it at his hand casually, diverted the topic, and talked about ordinary parents.

Xu Buling naturally didn't continue to focus on jade, skillfully and Wu Wangla's homely routine, you praise me and I praise you, looking like a happy guest and host.

Xiao Qi sat quietly next to him drinking and eating, his expression was not shocked, and he didn't easily look at the expressions of the people around him, as if he didn't know anything, but just accompanied Xu Buling to celebrate his birthday here.

After the jade was obtained, King Wu's mind was obviously not on the birthday banquet, and after a long day of polite courtesy with the guests, he got up and took the jade on the grounds that he was ill, and left the seat accompanied by the attendants.

The feast isn't over yet.,But the hero leaves.,It's pretty much the same.。 Seeing this, Xiao Qi cooperated and made a slightly drunk appearance, raised his hand and rubbed his forehead: "Xu Shizi, my head is a little dizzy......"

"Oh, why don't I send the eldest lady back to rest......"

Xu Buling answered like this, got up and said goodbye to King Wu's son, and left the palace first.

Song Yulou knew that Xu Buling came to Hangzhou to propose marriage to Xiao Qi, so naturally he didn't see anything unusual, got up with a smile, and sent Xu Buling and the others out of the palace.

Lu Hongluan and Xiao Ting are outsiders, and they don't know the inside story, and it is a little strange to see that Xiao Qi, who didn't drink a drop of alcohol in the past, drank too much.

Leaving early, Xiao Ting was still a little unsatisfied, and followed behind slowly, and only after Xu Buling and Xiao Qi got into the carriage did they follow, and complained a few words: "Auntie, I got drunk with just a few glasses of wine, and I have to practice ...... future."

I never thought that I had just opened the door and entered, there were only Xiao Qi and Lu Hongluan in the carriage, but Xu Buling, who had just gotten on the car, was nowhere to be seen.

Lu Hongluan was also a little dazed, looking down under the soft collapse, muttering, "What about people...... Ling'er, where are you hiding......"

Xiao Qi asked her stupid nephew to come in and be silent, and explained casually:

"Go out and find me some sobering soup, I'll be back later, let's go first."
