Chapter 141: An Undercurrent Banquet

When a hot air balloon rose from the courtyard of the fourth son of the Gui family, not only the fourth son of the Gui family was shocked, but even the people of the entire Song capital saw this scene, and they were all surprised by what the thing that lifted into the sky was.

The hot air balloon was carrying Tang Xiao and a slave of the fourth son of the Gui family, the two had different emotions, Tang Xiao waved vigorously below, and the slave looked excited, never thinking that he would have a volley flight one day.

Tang Xiao saw from afar that many people had stopped in the streets and alleys of Songdu and were looking up at the hot air balloon and pointing, they couldn't understand this kind of new thing at all, especially when they saw that the hot air balloon was still carrying people, which aroused their curiosity and consternation.

Some ignorant civilians regarded it as a miracle, and some monks thought it was a rare magic weapon.

However, only the fourth son of the Gui family knows how simple it is to make such a thing, and how shocking the effect is.

Tang Xiao was very satisfied with the effect of the hot air balloon liftoff, and he had already guessed that when the hot air balloon was lifted off in the downtown area, it would definitely attract much attention.

This served his true purpose.

Other noble families will definitely come to inquire about what this thing is that has risen into the sky, so that his name will fall into the eyes of every nobleman.

Flying in the air was the wish of all monks, so those nobles would inevitably find ways to contact him, and he would have a way to officially step into the noble circle of the Song Kingdom.

When the hot air balloon returned to the ground, the fourth son of the Gui family immediately couldn't wait to meet it and ask how he felt about taking off.

Tang Xiao asked the slave to answer, and the slave told the fourth prince of the Gui family his feelings as they were.

The fourth son of the Gui family asked Tang Xiao again: "Can this thing still take off?"

"Absolutely. ”

So, Tang Xiao once again stirred up the entire hot air balloon at the request of the fourth son of the Gui family, but the hot air balloon that had just fallen took off again, only this time the passengers were replaced by Tang Xiao and the fourth son of the Gui family.

The fourth prince of the Gui family carefully watched how Tang Xiao operated, and after he simply learned how to control the hot air balloon, he began to have a bird's-eye view of the entire Kyoto.

"That's what it's like to be in the air!"

He couldn't help but sigh like this.

And this time, the people of the Song capital clearly saw that the person sitting in the hot air balloon was the fourth son of the Gui family, and the thoughts of those nobles were even more lively.

When the hot air balloon returned to the ground again, the fourth son of the Gui family walked out of the big frame with great satisfaction, looked at Tang Xiao, looked at the hot air balloon again, and then asked, "What is your intention to give me a treasure?"

When he looked down on the hot air balloon, he saw the bustling crowd on the street looking up at the hot air balloon, and he had already guessed that Tang Xiao's intention was not simple.

Tang Xiao said: "Of course, it is for missionary purposes. The Gui family was the most prestigious family in the Song Dynasty, and if they could get on the Gui family's relationship, it would naturally be much easier to preach. ”

The fourth son of the Gui family bowed slightly, this answer could barely be accepted by him.

"No problem. ”

"I wonder if the fourth prince can help me create an opportunity for me to openly set up an altar to preach?"

The fourth prince of the Gui family pointed to the hot air balloon and said, "Then you can't tell anyone about the technology of this thing." ”

"Of course, this hot air balloon is dedicated to the fourth prince, and all the technology and manufacturing methods about it will not be told to others from my mouth. ”

"Good. I try my best to help you. ”

After reaching a cooperation with the four sons of the Gui family, Tang Xiao left the courtyard of the four sons of the Gui family.

On this day, he stayed in the inn.

He's waiting.

Waiting for the hot air balloon to ferment in Songdu.

The fourth son of the Gui family also knew that he was going to be very busy next, and sure enough, within a moment, the first person to visit came, and then one after another.

The people who came far exceeded the imagination of the fourth son of the Gui family, he wanted to entertain them one by one, and even his mouth was dry.

In the end, he had no choice but to tell the guests that he would hold a banquet in two days, and invite all the nobles in the entire Song capital to let everyone watch the process of the hot air balloon rise together, and also introduce everyone to the people who made the hot air balloon.

After sending off all the guests, the fourth son of the Gui family was so tired that he sat down on the chair.

He called the butler, told him to get ready to send out invitations, and told Miss Lala to come to the banquet with her.

When Tang Xiao received the invitation the next day, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a smile that had succeeded in his trick.

He was waiting for this invitation, which was his ticket to officially enter the aristocratic circle of the Song Kingdom.

However, when he was preparing to wear what clothes to wear to this banquet, Yue Piao secretly sent someone to hand him a note, and the note had four words written on it: See you in the old place, obviously to make an appointment with him.

After he changed his face again, he quietly left the inn and came to the Yuejia cloth shop, and then he was invited to the secret room again.

This time, Yue Piao was already waiting for him in the secret room.

Yue Piao didn't seem surprised when he saw him change his face again.

After letting the shopkeeper leave, Yue Piao said straight to the point: "I really didn't expect that you just came to the Song Capital, and you could let the fourth prince of the Gui family hold a banquet for you, and also make all the nobles in the entire Song Capital eager to participate in this banquet, I really didn't misunderstand you!"

Tang Xiao pretended to be modest and said: "It's just a small skill of carving insects." ”

Yue Piao ignored his pretense, but said, "But at this banquet, I'm in trouble." ”

"What's wrong?"

"The people who are competing with me for a place in the cabinet are going to kill me. ”

"Alas, the circle of your nobles is really chaotic, and the same clan always has to kill each other, but before you can make a move, others will do it first. Do you know how they're going to kill you?"

"It's not them, there's only one person who wants to kill me, that guy is called Yue Bing. At this banquet held by the fourth son of the Gui family, there was a slave who was in charge of serving tea and pouring water as my eyeliner, and Yue Bing happened to find him and wanted to buy him and let him poison the wine served to me. ”

"This one named Yue Bing is really unlucky, so many slaves didn't choose, but chose your eyeliner. Won't you just stop drinking then?"

"But I want to try again. ”

Tang Xiao looked at Yue Piao in surprise: "What's the matter?

Yue Piao shook his head and said: "Yue Bing is not bent on killing me, what he wants to do is just to get rid of one of the two people who compete with him for the position of the cabinet, and there is also a guy who competes with us for the position of the cabinet called Yue Liang, his cup of poisonous wine is prepared for me and Yue Liang, and when the time comes, the cup of poisonous wine will be mixed with a few glasses of non-poisonous wine, no matter which of us is so unlucky to drink that cup of poisonous wine, as long as one of us dies, his goal has been achieved, so ......"

"So you want to take the opportunity to borrow a knife to kill someone? Let Yue Bing poison Yue Liang?"

"Yes. The slave who brought the wine was my person, I would naturally know which glass of wine was poisonous, as long as I picked the non-poisonous wine first, the remaining cup of poisonous wine would be drunk by Yue Liang. ”

"I suggest that you don't do this, or let the one named Yue Liang choose first, so that you can get rid of your suspicion, otherwise the person who chooses wine before Yue Liang will be suspected of murder. ”

Yue Piao was stunned: "But how can this be controlled? Which glass of wine to choose depends on Yue Liang's mood, what if he doesn't choose poisonous wine? Wouldn't that leave the poisonous wine to me?"

Tang Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I have a way for him to choose poisoned wine!"
