At this time, Gou Xiaowu also knew the identity of Gongsun Jian, and he felt that this master was the seventh master of the public family who had a great ability to cause trouble in his mouth yesterday. But now it's too late to know, not to mention that he has been hired by others, just looking at the four masters who followed Gongsun Jian's side, he knew that he was not an ordinary person, full of unnatural murderous aura, and there were definitely a lot of lives under his hands. Now I have to pray secretly, hoping that the seventh master can stop causing trouble, so that he can live a few more years in peace.

Gou Xiaowu was worried, but he also found that the seventh master in front of him was a good-tempered and casual person. Even if you treat a subordinate like yourself, you are polite and polite. But when he got out of the gate of Zhuangzi and knew that Gongsun Jian was going to King Zhao's mansion, Gou Xiaowu's face was wonderful.

There is no one in the entire Shangjing City who doesn't know about the street fight between Gongsun Jian and His Royal Highness King Zhao. And now, the seventh master of the public family, who has just come back from being assigned to the army, took the initiative to go to the door, not to find trouble, but to bow his head and admit his mistake. Anyway, no matter how Gou Xiaowu looks at it, he feels that Gongsun Jian is not the kind of person who will admit mistakes at will. Thinking of this, Gou Xiaowu could only accept his fate, his luck was really a little bit back home, yesterday he thought he was getting a good job, but today he found that it was almost a fatal deed.

After getting Gongsun Jian's orders, Gou Xiaowu didn't dare to refuse, so he had to make a bitter face and ride on a donkey specially prepared for him to lead the way for Gongsun Jian and the others. After entering the capital, it didn't take long for several people to come to the street where Zhao Wang's Mansion was located under the guidance of Gou Xiaowu.

When he arrived at the ground, Gongsun Jian did not rush in, but walked around Zhao Wangfu with Ma Teng, and asked for a window seat in a teahouse not far from Zhao Wangfu, and after asking for a pot of the best tea and a few snacks from Dr. Cha, Gongsun Jian drank tea slowly and unhurriedly. Ma Teng was also eating and drinking on the side, but a pair of eagle-like eyes casually probed the pedestrians and shops on the street.

A moment later, Wei Meng walked in from outside the tea shop, and when he arrived in front of Gongsun Jian, he bent down and said in a low voice: "My lord, everything is hidden, and the horses are all in place." Guarantee that if something happens, there will be no mistakes. ”

"Hmm." Gongsun Jian nodded slightly, and then motioned for Wei Meng to sit down and eat and drink casually. Wei Meng was not polite, sat on the bench behind him, picked up the pastries on the table and ate them in a big gulp. But Gou Xiaowu on the side was almost scared to death.

Just the few words of Wei Meng in front of him had already made his legs and stomach cramp a little. What do you mean something has been hidden? Now the three of them look normal, except for Gongsun Jian, Ma Teng and Wei Meng are wearing a brocade coat on the outside, but they are actually wearing a strong suit on the inside. You don't have to guess to know that you're ready to do it at any time. And the blades they brought when they went out before are now all gone, isn't this exactly what Wei Meng said? As for the horses, that's not to mention. It must have settled at a certain junction, ready to answer at any time. Feelings: This seventh master is really here to find His Royal Highness King Zhao today?

Just when Gou Xiaowu was thinking nonsense, Ma Teng, who had not spoken, spoke.

"My lord, there are six waves of people who are going there, all dressed as scholars, so there shouldn't be any danger. No hidden guards were also found nearby. ”

"Hmm." Gongsun Jian nodded again, then looked at Gou Xiaowu with a smile, and asked, "Little Fifth Brother, have you ever been to this Zhao Wangfu." ”

"Huh?" Gou Xiaowu came back to his senses with a bitter face,

"Childe, aren't you kidding me? What kind of person am I? How could he have entered the mansion of His Royal Highness King Zhao, and even the door did not dare to stay for a moment. ”

"Hehe, how about Gong take you in today to browse?"

"What?" Gou Xiaowu was frightened by Gongsun Jian's words and didn't sit still, and slipped directly under the table. As if he had died of his mother, he cried and said, "Childe, you can spare the villain." I still have an 80-year-old mother and a three-year-old child to support at home. ”

"Fart." Without waiting for Gongsun Jian to answer, Wei Meng on the side opened his mouth and scolded: "Yesterday, Brother Qi went to your house to see, you have a good mother at home, but you are not eighty years old, at most only fifty, and you only have one wife, no children at all. How dare you open your eyes and tell nonsense in front of adults. ”

Now Gou Xiaowu is completely stupid, no wonder Qi Shi will find his home yesterday, it turns out that the other party has premeditated, and he is using his family to blackmail himself, it seems that today's disaster can't be avoided if he wants to.

Gou Xiaowu, who already felt that he was about to be in calamity and could not escape, finally eased up under the comfort of Gongsun Jian. Because Gongsun Jian said very clearly, he asked Gou Xiaowu to be his servant and follow him to the Zhao Wangfu for a banquet. As for the danger, of course, there may also be dangers, that is, if King Zhao is hot-headed and makes a public attack on Gongsun Jian, it is naturally impossible for Gongsun Jian to sit back honestly and suffer unwarranted humiliation and persecution without fighting back. The previous arrangement between Ma Teng and Wei Meng was a preparation for this situation.

Sometimes I have to say that the power of money is still very great, and Gongsun Jian made a guarantee, affirming that he was not going to cause trouble, and if he could return safely, he would be rewarded with fifty taels of silver. In the face of such a promise, Gou Xiaowu finally mustered up his courage and decided to follow Gongsun Jian to Zhaowangfu.

The two of them walked quietly and came out of the tea shop in a hurry. When he arrived at the gate of Zhao Wangfu, after reporting his name and surname and showing the invitation, he was politely led into the palace by the subordinates of Zhao Wangfu. Just turned the wall behind the door of the mansion, and before he could enter the lobby, King Qian Can of Zhao had already taken the initiative to greet him. I saw that this Zhou was the second prince of the dynasty, and he was also the concubine of the Yue Emperor. He was wearing a lilac dragon brocade robe, with a jade belt composed of twelve pieces of exquisite mutton fat and white jade tied around his waist, and a purple and gold crown with beams on his head. At the age of about twenty-seven or eighteen, he was born with a good appearance, but the only pity is that he is a little hanging. It makes people look a little uncomfortable. According to the photo book, such a person must be unscrupulous and narrow-minded.

Before coming, Gongsun Jian had already had some general understanding of His Royal Highness King Zhao through the old butler Gongzhong. knows that although he is the son-in-law of the current Yue Emperor Qian Hong and the Empress Chen, he is not loved by His Majesty the Yue Emperor.

"Think of retiring from the virtuous brother, don't be fast for two years. I miss my brother so much! Qian Can said to Gongsun Jian with a smile on his face. Si Hui is the expression of Gongsun Jian, and most of the etiquette in this world is similar to the ancient times of Gongsun Jian's previous life. Generally, readers will be called by each other's words when they meet, one means respect, the second is politeness, and the third also means closeness. But it is obvious that the two of them fought on the street at the beginning, and the city knows about it. Although it can't be said to be a big hatred, after all, it has lost the face of His Royal Highness King Zhao. According to the past practice, it is already a good result that this King Zhao can spare Gongsun Jian and no longer trouble the other party. But two days after Gongsun Jian arrived in the capital, Qian Can invited Gongsun Jian to the banquet, and there must be no good medicine in this gourd. And now as soon as they meet, the other party is so affectionate, which makes Gongsun Jian feel a little uncomfortable, and he can't help but feel the alarm bell in his heart. So he dealt with the other party very carefully.

"Your Highness is gracious. At the beginning, he was young and ignorant, so he was offended. I hope that Your Highness will not hold a grudge. Gongsun Jian bowed and said. Lowering the posture does not mean that it is bowing the head, many times depending on the situation, people in the society to live to know when to be soft and when to be hard. Gongsun Jian, who was bent on leaving the capital as soon as possible, would definitely not mess around at this moment, and would not let the other party grab any tricks to deal with him.

Seeing Gongsun Jian's attitude, the corners of Qian Can's mouth twitched slightly. In my heart, I secretly said Gongsun Jian, you kid also have a day to bow to me today. With a smile on his face, he hurriedly held up Gongsun Jian's arm and said, "Where did the virtuous brother say, I was also reckless at the beginning. Besides, although my father is a little unhappy in his heart, he still hasn't abolished the marriage between you and the second sister, we are still a family after all, maybe you will become my sister-in-law in a few days. ”

Sister, your mother, Gongsun Jian scolded in his heart. He smiled the same way, but he didn't say anything back, just smiled at the other party. The obvious meaning is that everything is in plain sight. Qian Can was also a little surprised, and said that Gongsun Jian, this kid, went to the border to be a soldier and be stupid? How the temper has changed a lot, and it is completely like two people before. How could he have thought that Gongsun Jian today and the past are indeed two different people.

Under the leadership of Qian Can, the two came to a main hall in the backyard with a smile. I saw that there were already a lot of guests here. When everyone saw Qian Can leading Gongsun Jian in, they naturally had to say hello again. Qian Can also looked very free, waved his hand casually, and introduced Gongsun Jian to everyone. Some of the people present knew Gongsun Jian, and some didn't know him, but they had already heard of his name, and they were nerds in the capital and the prime minister.

After everyone pretended to be polite and greeted Gongsun Jian again, Zhao Can sat down on his main seat and said to everyone: "Today, this king invites everyone to come, which is nothing more than a private gathering and a literary meeting. Drink together, talk about poetry and songs. They are not outsiders, so they don't have to be formal, and they are all let go. ”

Then he gave a few instructions to a steward beside him, and all kinds of melons, fruits, wines and dishes were presented one after another. Everyone also found a seat at random, and began to drink under the service of the servants brought by their own families or the maids of the palace.

After three glasses of wine, one of the people present stood up. pretended to look at everyone present, especially Gongsun Jian unconsciously glanced at him a few more times. Gongsun Jian said secretly in his heart, hehe, it seems that the show is about to start. I knew it wouldn't be that simple.

The man first saluted Qian Can, and then said loudly: "Everyone, today is a literary meeting. You can't just bury your head in the food and drink, right? Otherwise, if it spreads out in the future, we will all be a group of ordinary foodies. ”

"Hahaha......" Everyone laughed when they heard this, and many people's eyes unconsciously looked at Gongsun Jian. On the other hand, Gongsun Jian was still calm and relaxed, eating a mouthful of wine and food, and didn't care at all about the person who spoke and the eyes of everyone. But Gou Xiaowu, who was waiting for him on the side, was obviously a little uncomfortable. Everyone present has an identity, either the son of the prince and general, or the new branch of the scholar who has not been in the scholar for a long time. Only Gongsun Jian came back from serving as a soldier at the border pass. That sentence Qiu Ba was obviously aimed at Gongsun Jian, but Gongsun Jian was still eating and drinking as if he hadn't heard it.

The man who spoke just now was also stunned when he saw that Gongsun Jian didn't react. I don't know what to say next. Fortunately, there were also smart people among the people present, and they immediately continued to talk: "His Royal Highness King Zhao summoned us to wait for the Wenhui today, so naturally he will not only care about eating and drinking like someone. Everyone might as well come up with their own means to write a few good songs and sing harmony with each other. In the future, it will inevitably be rumored to be a beautiful talk among Shilin. ”
