Chapter 459: The Night Banquet (Part II)

The undulating sedan chair is like a shaker that Lan Ziyi walked on when he was a child, and the creaking sound is accompanied by the misty incense, which is always easy to make people sleep, but Lan Ziyi remembers that when he was a child, his mother would always sing a lullaby by his bed in a dialect that no one could understand, and now Lan Ziyi hears the traffic on the street.

The continuous months of fighting have exhausted Lan Ziyi, and he is about to fall asleep, but what can he do now when he falls asleep and will enter the palace? So Lan Ziyi lifted the sedan curtain and breathed a sigh of relief.

The black and pressed red wall covered Lan Ziyi's eyes as soon as the curtain was opened, and the shadow in the city gate hole shrouded people's heads, making people have an indescribable sense of depression. He said:

"I just said how the street is full of traffic, the Dewang Mansion is obviously outside the evil gate, where will it be on the street."

Tao Zhulu, who followed Lan Ziyi's sedan chair, asked Lan Ziyi:

"What's uncomfortable about the young master?"

Lan Ziyi replied casually:

"Just come out and take a breath."

Then Lan Ziyi looked at the blue bricks on the ground outside the sedan chair and the red walls on both sides that could not be seen, and said:

"I think the scenery in the palace is too monotonous."

Hearing this, Tao Zhulu subconsciously asked:

"What did you say, young master?"

Lan Ziyi pursed his lips and shook his head when he heard this, closed the sedan curtain and stopped answering. He sat deep into the chair behind him, felt the rhythmic pain coming from the soles of his feet, and whispered to himself with a smile:

"Looking at the scenery with pain on my body, I'm really happy in suffering."

Lan Ziyi thought that the celebration banquet should be set up in the first three halls, and he couldn't walk far after entering the palace, but he didn't expect that he couldn't stop walking after he sat back in the sedan chair, according to Lan Ziyi's estimation, he would have already walked through the three halls.

Lan Ziyi lifted the sedan curtain, poked his head out, looked at the slightly familiar aisle, and asked:

"Where is this? Where are we going? ”

Tao Zhulu also had a puzzled look on his face, and when he heard this, he asked the justice who led the way in front of him:

"Dare to ask my father-in-law, where are you going?"

The father-in-law looked back and said with a smile:

"Of course, I went to Zhaoxianmen, Taichengwei Yamen, where today's banquet is located."

Tao Zhulu's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he hurriedly turned around and approached the sedan chair window and whispered:

"Young Master, this ......"

Lan Ziyi stretched out his hand expressionlessly to stop Tao Zhulu, and he said coldly:

"Second brother doesn't need to say much, you and eldest brother just have their eyes bright."

Then Lan Ziyi closed the sedan curtain again and retracted his head, but he immediately opened the sedan curtain again, moved his fingers to signal Tao Zhulu to approach, and then Lan Ziyi whispered:

"Second brother, ask the two gentlemen what they think."

Then, without waiting for Tao Zhulu to reply, Lan Ziyi sat back. The sedan chair is still creaking regularly, but Lan Ziyi now sounds like it's just pure noise, and it has nothing to do with the lullaby next to the shaker when he was a child.

After a while, the footsteps of Tao Zhulu came over, Lan Ziyi sat quietly in the sedan chair and waited, he thought, sitting in the sedan chair is not convenient for riding, he can't see anything, he has to wait for everything. Then, at the first moment when Tao Zhulu knocked on the sedan chair, Lan Ziyi opened the sedan curtain and asked:

"What does the gentleman have to say?"

Tao Zhulu leaned into Lan Ziyi's ear and whispered:

"The two gentlemen said they didn't come at us."

Lan Ziyi nodded when he heard this, but did not speak. He breathed a sigh of relief in a way that ordinary people would not have noticed, and then said:

"I see."

After that, he sat back in the sedan chair and breathed a sigh of relief, yes, he Lan Ziyi was alone in Beijing, if he wanted to clean him up, why trick him into going to Taicheng Wei Yamen to do it again? Directly send someone to take it not long after? There is only one person who can make such a big move, no, it is two, that is the father and son of the Qi family who led the troops into the city.

Thinking of this, the corner of Lan Ziyi's mouth unconsciously hung a sneer, the moment he felt his sneer, Lan Ziyi shuddered, when did he become so cold-blooded and ruthless?

The sedan chair shook for a while, Lan Ziyi rushed to a forward inertia, he knew that he had arrived at the place, and then the sedan curtain was lifted. Lan Ziyi picked up the robe and stepped forward, and stood outside as soon as he bent over, Tao Zhulu was already waiting outside, and when he saw Lan Ziyi coming out, he reached out to help, and several sedan chair drivers lowered the front bar of the sedan chair, and Lan Ziyi stepped over the bar with the help of Tao Zhulu.

After Lan Ziyi stood firm, Tao Zhuhu also rushed from the other side to help Lan Ziyi, and the father and son of the enemy family followed behind Lan Ziyi, respectful and silent.

The father-in-law who passed the word was standing in front of the Taicheng Wei Yamen at this time, stretching out his hand to make an invitation, and he said to Lan Ziyi with a smile:

"Wei Hou, please, Daddy Yu has been waiting for a long time."

Lan Ziyi raised his head and looked at the four big characters of "Taicheng Guard" on the plaque at the entrance of the yamen with gilt inlaid on a black background, and then looked at the low-pressure gate, the Taicheng Guard in brocade clothes and knives, just like staring at the open mouth of the tiger, Lan Ziyi really realized what it means to subdue the dragon and subdue the tiger this time.

Lan Ziyi raised his head with his chest straight, stood upright, and stretched out his hand to ask for justice:

"Father-in-law, please!"

The father-in-law smiled when he heard this:

"It's not a slave who is qualified to enter today's occasion, Wei Hou please hurry up."

Lan Ziyi looked at his father-in-law who was smiling, nodded slightly as a salute, and then stepped forward into the yamen.

Lan Ziyi walked with pride, and tried not to borrow the strength of the two brothers of the Tao family on the way, but Tao Zhuhu and Tao Zhulu did not come by Lan Ziyi's temperament, the two brothers secretly lifted Lan Ziyi's waist one left and one right, and if the people next to him did not look carefully, they could not see that Lan Ziyi needed someone to support him.

Tao Zhuhu whispered to Lan Ziyi:

"Young master, don't be impulsive, there's no need to hurt your feet for a meal."

Lan Ziyi smiled and nodded to Tao Zhuhu, which was considered an answer.

This is not the first time Lan Ziyi has entered the Taicheng Wei Yamen, but this is the first time Lan Ziyi feels uncomfortable in this place, the "scenery" at the door is already intimidating enough, and the Taicheng guards in the Yamen are even more frightening, although their number has not increased compared to before.

Lan Ziyi rushed to the hands of the two elder brothers and involuntarily increased his strength, and teased in a low voice:

"I didn't expect my brothers to be afraid of heaven and earth, but they would be afraid when they came here."

Peach Zhuhu smiled when he heard this, and Peach Zhulu said:

"Don't ask for blessings, don't ask for luck, just ask for the jailer's hands not to be poisonous. Young master, you have never seen the ghost in the prison, no matter whether you are a dragon or a tiger, you have to bow your head. ”

When Lan Ziyi heard this, he remembered the night he was arrested and put in a cell in the old capital, and said with a smile:

"Who says I haven't seen it?"

At this time, Qiu Xiaozhi stepped forward from behind and whispered to Lan Ziyi:

"I advise Wei Hou Mo to be reckless, for the country and the people, why don't people see it?"

Lan Ziyi nodded when he heard this:

"Makes sense."

Only then did he relax and let Tao Zhuhu and Tao Zhulu prop up their armpits and set him up, and then several people entered the house where the banquet was held.

Lan Ziyi and the others were guided all the way, and as soon as they entered the room, they heard the laughter of Father-in-law Yu:

"Wei Hou is here, I waited so hard for Wei Hou."

Lan Ziyi squeezed out a smile when he heard the words and returned to camp, and the familiar headache took a while to get used to.

At the same time, Lan Ziyi also glanced at the inside of the house, and roughly looked at the layout of the house. This room should be the lobby of Taichengwei's office, the place is quite spacious, from the door to the inside of the four round tables arranged in a diamond shape, one at the door, one inside, and two separate wings.

At the innermost table, there are already four people sitting behind the table facing the door, among which Gonggong Yu and Zhang Mingyue are sitting side by side at the top, Gonggong Long and Zhang Wang are separated from the two, and there are still a few civil officials, Lan Ziyi has also seen, it is the other cabinet elders. Zhang Yanwu was also at the table, but he sat at the bottom with his back to the door, and when Gonggong Long saw Lan Ziyi enter the door, he hurriedly beckoned, beckoning Lan Ziyi to sit next to him, and Gonggong Long said:

"Wei Hou come quickly, I will leave you to sit here."

Lan Ziyi humbly said as he walked:

"I can't help it, how can Ziyi be a person, how dare he achieve such a high position."

After some humility, Lan Ziyi finally sat down, and Tao Zhuhu and they did it to the right rear of Lan Ziyi, that is, the table on the left hand of the door, there were already many people sitting on that table, all of them were old faces in the Beijing camp. And the table on the right hand side of the door was already full of people, and they were all old faces, but Lan Ziyi didn't want to see it, and Du Ji was sitting there. After Lan Ziyi and them took their seats, there was only one person left at the table at the door, and Lan Ziyi had two seats left at their table.
