In view of the presence of many Zhao ministers, Zhao Wang He barely said a few words to Meng Zhong, and the things that talked to each other did not leave the current situation, obviously because of the many people here.

After the end of the meeting with the monarch, the king of Zhao ordered Li Dui, the king of Zhao, to invite Tian Wen and Meng Zhong to the hall of the banquet, and the courtiers of Zhao who were in the palace before were all accompanied by the banquet, which shows that Zhao still gave Tian Wen and Meng Zhong enough face.

In the hall where the banquet was held, Meng Zhong was arranged in the second seat on the east side, second only to Xue Gongtian Wen.

In view of the fact that Zhao Wanghe was still changing his clothes and had not yet appeared in this palace of banquet guests, Xue Gongtian Wen began to show his talent in negotiations, only to see that he was surrounded by Fengyang Jun Li Dui, and his son Li Ji and many Zhao courtiers, talking and laughing with everyone with a calm face, which made many laughter echo in this hall.

Suddenly, a tall man stepped into the hall, and then walked towards Li Dui, Li Ji's father and son.

Seeing this person, Li Dui greeted with a smile: "Lian Po, come and greet Xue Gong." …… Xue Gong, this is the fierce general of my Zhao State, Lian Po. ”

Hearing this, Tian Wen looked Lian Po up and down a few times, and immediately praised loudly: "Haha, Lian Junjun is really mighty." ”

"Xue Gong has an overreputation."

Lian Po thanked him angrily, raised his head and looked at the seat on the east side, and looked at Meng Zhong's gaze.

Obviously, Meng Zhong, who was watching around because he was idle and had nothing to do, obviously also noticed Lian Po.

After hesitating for a moment, Lian Po suddenly strode towards Meng Zhong.

Seeing this, Li Ji, who had already paid attention, immediately stepped forward and grabbed Lian Po's sleeve, shook his head at Lian Po with a frown, and said in a low voice: "Lian Po, don't make trouble." ”

Lian Po shook his head and calmly explained, "I just want to say hello to him." ”

“……”

Li Ji glanced at Lian Po a few times suspiciously, and saw that Lian Po's expression was not abnormal, so he said slowly: "It's okay." I will go with you and remember your words. ”

Of course, Tian Wen noticed the conversation between Li Ji and Lian Po, glanced at Meng Zhong's direction, and didn't care.

He didn't think that Li Ji and Lian Po would cause anything, after all, Meng Zhong was also on his Tian Wen's side at the moment, and at this time, against Meng Zhong, he didn't give Tian Wen face, even if Li Dui's father and son had an enmity with Meng Zhong, they had to give him Tian Wen this face at this time, not to mention that according to what he saw, Li Dui did not have much hostility towards Meng Zhong, but Meng Zhong still seemed to be a little hostile to Li Dui.

When Tian Wen and Li Dui continued to laugh and talk in public, Li Ji took Lian Po to Meng Zhong and greeted him with a smile: "Yun Chengjun, under Li Ji, do you still have an impression of Yun Chengjun?" ”

At this time, Meng Zhong had already slowly stood up, arched his hand and said with a smile: "The eldest son of the Li family, how can he forget it in the future?" After that, he glanced at Lian Po, who was more than a head taller than him, and greeted him with a smile: "Lian Sima, long time no see." ”

Hearing Meng Zhong's words, Lian Po opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

Maybe even he didn't understand why he came here, maybe he had been defeated many times in the hands of Meng Zhong so far, and he was unwilling.

Especially the one in Taoyi a few months ago, it was clear that he had successfully attacked the Qin-Wei coalition army, but he was easily overturned by the Qin-Wei coalition army, causing Zhao Xi and Xu Jun to sacrifice many soldiers to save him from the deep siege.

Afterwards, listening to Zhao Xi's words, it was very likely that the Qin-Wei coalition army was commanded by Meng Zhong, which made Lian Po more and more unwilling.

Looking at Meng Zhong, Lian Po said in a deep voice: "Tao Yi that time...... Zhao Xisima later revealed to me that it was Meng Sima who was commanding the Qin-Wei coalition army at that time......"

"Ahem." Li Ji coughed beside him and reminded: "Meng Sima has been regarded as the king of Yuncheng by the king of Wei, you should call Yuncheng Jun, and you must not be rude." ”

Meng Zhong didn't care much about what others called him, and said to Lian Po with a slight smile: "Zhao Xi? I didn't see him this time, is he in Handan? ”

Hearing this, Li Ji hurriedly explained: "Zhao Xisima is in Wu'an City, but he will also come to today's banquet, and Yuncheng Jun will be able to see him then." ”

Wu'an City, that is, the capital of Handan, is located about 40 miles northwest of Handan, and the city almost concentrates most of the military workshops of Zhao State, such as weapon forging, armor manufacturing, iron smelting workshops, etc., almost all of which are in Wu'an City.

Meng Zhong hadn't had the opportunity to witness the situation in Wu'an City before, but he still knew the general situation.

"I see." Meng Zhong nodded, and then said to Lian Po with a smile: "Tao Yi that time...... I'm afraid it was Lian Sima who proposed to attack our coalition forces at dawn, right? Hehe, that time I was deceived by Lian Sima...... I didn't expect you to launch a surprise attack at dawn......"

"It's just picking up people's teeth, it's not commendable, what's more, that raid on our side didn't win in the end......" Lian Po looked at Meng Zhong expressionlessly, and then asked again: "That time, was Yun Chengjun in command?" ”

"Yes." Meng Zhong did not hide it and said truthfully.

Hearing this, Lian Po suddenly fell silent for a moment, and turned his head away without saying a word.

Seeing this, Li Ji hurriedly confessed to Meng Zhong: "Lian Po is very rude, and he will definitely be punished in the next year, Yun Chengjun, please don't take it to heart." ”

Meng Zhong waved his hand and said with a smile: "The prince of the world is serious, Lian is quite loyal and straightforward, and for such a person, he has always been very respectful......

Li Ji also roughly understood Meng Zhong's character, and when he heard Meng Zhong say that he didn't care, he knew that Meng Zhong really wouldn't care, and after being relieved, he didn't leave, but stayed on Meng Zhong's side to talk to him, after all, Meng Zhong's identity is not what it used to be, and he has become an object that needs to be befriended.

After a while, the number of people in the palace gradually increased, and the courtiers of Zhao State, who had not appeared in the palace before, also came to this hall of banquet guests.

For example, Zhao Ben, who met Meng Zhong at the city gate.

Unlike the vast majority of Zhao courtiers, they will walk to Li Dui and Tian Wen as soon as they enter the hall, and talk to these two for a few words, Zhao Ben did not dump Tian Wen and Li Dui at all, and walked straight past the crowd where the two of them were, and under the guidance of the attendants in the hall, he sat on his own seat.

This incident caused a lot of private discussions among Tian Wen and Li Dui's courtiers of Zhao Guo, and at this moment, many people scolded Zhao Ben in their hearts for being a completely rude bastard.

Meng Zhong glanced at Tian Wen.

Sure enough, Tian Wen's face was not very good--this pampered Xue Gong couldn't bear to be ignored the most.

No, after noticing Zhao Ben's rude behavior, Tian Wen had an accompanying knight who was furious when he saw this, and he was about to walk towards Zhao Ben, but Tian Wen grabbed his wrist.

Obviously, in view of the threat of Emperor Qin and Qi, Tian Wen also restrained himself and did not want to cause any trouble in the Zhao State.

Seeing this scene, Meng Zhong suddenly had a very strange feeling.

Because a few years ago, when he greeted Tian Wen's envoy to Zhao in Zhao State, he sat in the seat on the west side, under the head of his son Zhao Zhang, at that time he was opposed to Li Dui, Li Ji father and son, Xue Gong Tianwen, and the late Anpingjun Zhao Cheng, and in that banquet, he was also like Zhao Ben - although far less than Zhao Ben is today, completely ignoring Tian Wen and Li Dui.

But this time, as Tian Wen's deputy envoy, Tian Wen and Li Dui did not come to trouble him, and even Li Dui's son Li Ji was still standing by his side at the moment, intending to marry him.

His position was completely reversed twice, and when you think about it, it is indeed a strange feeling.

"Yun Chengjun, what's wrong?" Li Ji noticed Meng Zhong's expression and asked puzzled.

Meng Zhong shook his head slightly, and said with a little emotion: "I just think it...... There is a feeling that things are not human. …… I was there then, and now I'm here ......" He pointed to the seat where Zhao Ben was sitting, and then pointed to his feet.

Li Ji thought for a moment when he heard this, prepared the words, and said with a vague sigh: "In that turmoil, my Zhao Kingdom really lost too much......

I have to say that even Li Ji must admit that the civil strife in Zhao really caused them to lose a lot of money.

The soldiers who died due to civil strife and fighting in the same room are still secondary, and the key is that he Zhao Guo has lost too many talents.

Not to mention the ministers sent to various countries by Lord Zhao's father, such as Qiu He, Lou Fu, Fu Ding, etc., and the state minister Feiyi who was killed by his son Zhao Zhang and Tian Buyu also aside, just the young talents recruited by Lord Zhao's father at that time, such as Pang Xuan, Ju Xin, Meng Zhong, Le Yi, Zhao Hao and others, all fled in all directions.

Looking at the achievements of these people today, Ju Xin, Le Yi, and Zhao Hao all defected to Yan State, among which Ju Xin is already the minister of Yan State, and he is also the position of Da Situ and Da Si Nong, but almost all the internal affairs of Yan Guo are in charge of Ji Xin; Le Yi served as the Great Sima in the Yan State, holding almost half of the country's army; And Zhao Hao served as the guard of Shanggu, and he also had an army under his command.

And the Yuncheng Jun Meng Zhong in front of him defeated the army of Qiang Qin twice, making Sima Cuo, Xiang Shou, Bai Qi and others of Qin State all defeated under him.

What Bai Qi's strength is, he Li Ji knows it best, after all, a few months ago, he and Han Xu's 50,000 troops were killed by Bai Qi.

Only Pang Xuan's whereabouts are still unknown, and there are only rumors that he lived in seclusion in the Chu State, following his teacher Gu Guanzi to study academics.

Thinking of this, even if it was Li Ji, he couldn't help but sigh regretfully.

If that Dune Palace change could be avoided, it seems that Pang Xuan, Meng Zhong, Ju Xin, Le Yi, Zhao Hao and others are all in his Zhao country, and I really don't dare to imagine how strong his Zhao country is.

You must know that Meng Zhong alone blocked the invasion of Qin twice for Wei - that is Qin! The Central Plains countries are fearless and strong in the west!

And after hearing Li Ji's sigh, Meng Zhong frowned imperceptibly, and said lightly without meaning: "Without that turmoil, how could Fengyang Jun control the national affairs of Zhao State?" …… Sorry for the gaffe. ”

If someone else said this, Li Ji would probably be angry and walk away, but it was Meng Zhong who was one of the parties at that time who said this, and Li Ji did not have any anger in his heart, he said to Meng Zhong with a wry smile: "Yunchengjun, do you really think that my father and son control the state politics just for selfish desires?" ”

Without waiting for Meng Zhong to speak, he shook his head, lowered his voice and said, "No, my father and son are also here to protect themselves. ”

“……”

Meng Zhong glanced at Li Ji, but he was not very skeptical of the latter's statement.

At first, he didn't think it, but since Zhao Wang He forced Zhao's father to death by the hands of Anpingjun Zhao Cheng and Fengyangjun Li Dui, he had realized that the seemingly cowardly Zhao Guoxinjun was actually a very scheming person who would even kill him when necessary.

At first, he ignored the father of Zhao in the Dune Palace, and let Zhao Cheng and Li Dui lead the army to besiege the Dune Palace, and only after the father of Zhao died in Lingqiu did the monarch cry loudly in front of everyone and take the lead in mourning the whole country - such scheming and the city, it is no wonder that even Li Dui and Li Ji and his son feel jealous.

And this time, too, everyone thought that under the persecution of Qin and Wei, Fengyang Jun Li Dui would inevitably lose the position of Zhao Guo's prime minister, but Zhao Wang He strongly supported Li Dui, a powerful minister who secretly set up his rights, on the one hand, he prevented the penetration of Qin and Wei into Zhao, and on the other hand, let Li Dui come forward to resist Qin and Wei, and even took advantage of this incident to have a reputation as a virtuous monarch in China.

I have to say that Zhao Wanghe's kind of skill, the son Zhao Zhang is far inferior.

may have noticed Meng Zhong's uncertain expression, and at the same time realized that he seemed to have revealed something terrible, Li Ji was about to expose the matter, and said differently: "Speaking of which, my father once asked Zai to befriend Yu Yunchengjun, but Yunchengjun was intimate with Gongzizhang at that time, so that each other had to be in the ...... of you and me. This time, Li Ji hopes to get along with Yun Chengjun in a friendly way. ”

"The son of the world is serious."

Seeing that Li Ji released his kindness, Meng Zhong also responded with a smile, after all, there was indeed no direct conflict between him and Li Ji.

After a while, Zhao Wang He changed his royal robe, and took Fei You to this banquet hall, Tian Wen, Li Dui, and many of the courtiers of Zhao who gathered in the hall to talk, after saluting Zhao Wang He, also returned to their respective seats.

Then came the part of the banquet, which was similar to that of other countries, first of all, the Zhao Nu in the palace danced.

This is really greedy, staring at those Zhao girls with soft figures, looking as if they want to tie one, no, tie a few home.

And Meng Zhong, because he thought of someone, he didn't have the slightest interest in those soft Zhao girls.

It is not his wife Le Yan, but Zhao's father.

Once upon a time, Master Zhao's father entertained guests in this palace, and the reason why Meng Hu was obsessed with Zhao was all because of Zhao's father's habits.

Zhao's father, Fei Yi, Yang Wenjun, Zhao Bao, Gongzi Zhao Zhang, Tian Buyu......

These people buried deep in his memory appeared in Meng Zhong's mind one by one at this moment, making his mood extremely heavy.

By the time Meng Zhong came back to his senses, the guests in the hall had already begun to move.

Among them, the most conspicuous is Tian Wen and Li Dui, accompanied by Li Dui, Tian Wen has taken a look at the monarchs and ministers of Zhao State in the palace, persuaded to drink, talk, I have to say that Tian Wen is indeed very good at this matter.

"Yun Chengjun."

Just as Meng Zhong was secretly sighing, he suddenly heard someone calling him.

turned his head to take a look, only to find that it was Tian Wen's staff Feng Chen.

I saw Feng Tan walking to Meng Zhong's side with a smile on the wine bottle, and whispered in a low voice: "Duke Xue hopes that Yun Chengjun will toast King Zhao." ”

Hearing this, Meng Zhong took a look at Tian Wen, and sure enough, he found that Tian Wen was looking at him from a distance, and nodded slightly.

Toast to King Zhao...... Didn't he just ask him to take the initiative to show favor to King Zhao?

Meng Zhong turned his head to glance at Zhao Wanghe, and then saw Zhao Wanghe sitting precariously, looking at the guests who were interacting in the hall with a smile.

Indeed, this is a good opportunity.

But......

"Please reply to Xue Gong, I am measured."

With that, Meng Zhong stood up and walked towards Zhao Ben with the wine bottle.

Feng Tan wanted to speak and stopped, so he had to return to Tian Wen's side.

At this time, Tian Wen also noticed that Meng Zhong walked to Zhao Ben's side, and his anger was pale.

He didn't care that Meng Zhong and Zhao Ben, who had ignored him before, got together, after all, he didn't have time to pay attention to Zhao Ben at the moment, he was angry that Meng Zhong ignored his orders-you fucking talk to King Zhao for me! What is there to talk about with Zhao Ben, a general?!

But because of the presence of Li Dui and many Zhao Guo's ministers around him, Tian Wen was not easy to attack, and at best he could only scold in his heart.

At this time, Meng Zhong had already walked to Zhao Ben's side, and without saying hello, he sat down directly beside Zhao Ben.

Seeing this, Zhao Ben turned his head sideways and glanced at Meng Zhong with interest, and said in a low voice: "Your guy's courage is really not small...... Aren't you afraid of annoying that one? ”

"Tian Wen?" Meng Zhong asked casually.

Hearing this, Zhao Ben pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "I'm not referring to that dwarf......

After that, he pouted in the direction of Zhao Wang He, and then lowered his voice and said: "Tian Wen alone is enough to envoy my Zhao State, but you are also here, which shows that King Wei must want to borrow your relationship...... But you left you hanging over there, don't tell me, you can't see that you're waiting for you to go up and talk to him. ”

Meng Zhong didn't speak, and drank a bowl of wine with Zhao Ben, but when he picked up the wine spoon and was about to scoop wine for Zhao Ben, he saw Zhao Ben reach out and hold down his wine bowl, and said with a strange expression: "It seems that in the past friendship, I drank your bowl of wine, and now you can get out, roll to where you should go." ”

"I haven't seen you in a few years, how did you become such a jerk?"

"Hey!" Zhao Ben smiled and sneered: "You bastard who uses my shield." …… Your Majesty has already seen it, get out! ”

Seeing Zhao Ben stretching his legs to kick, Meng Zhong had no choice but to stand up and leave Zhao Ben's seat.

But he didn't go to King Zhao as Zhao Ben intended, but walked to Zhao Xi's seat.

At this time, Zhao Xi was talking to a man in his thirties, and when he saw Meng Zhong walking to his side, he said with a smile: "I was driven away by Zhao Ben, and you came to my side again?" …… I don't have much to say to you, I almost died last time in the hands of that little cub. ”

Zhao Xi's unkind words surprised the man in his thirties, only to see him put down the wine bowl in his hand and arch his hand towards Meng Zhong: "In Xia Han Xu, it is really a blessing to see Xuanchengjun today." ”

"It turns out that he is Han Xu who was defeated by Bai Qi with Li Ji......

Meng Zhong suddenly realized, put down the wine bowl and hugged his fists in return, and asked curiously: "General Han, are you from Korean?" ”

Han Xu didn't hide it, and nodded with a smile.

Seeing this, Meng Zhong asked curiously: "Since you are a Korean, why are you in Zhao Kingdom?" ”

Han Xu thought for a moment and explained: "Just because after the death of the crown prince's baby, the uncle and the prince fought for power, and they both wanted to support their respective sons, and at that time the country was turbulent, so he defected to Zhao and took refuge in Zhao Yuan's generals......"

Zhao Yuan, the current Yanmen guard of Zhao State, replaced Niu Jian and was responsible for defending against foreign invasions.

"I see."

Meng Zhong nodded, and just wanted to chat with Han Xu a few more words, but was pushed aside by Zhao Xi lightly: "Okay, okay, if you have anything to talk about in the future, don't pestle the two of me here, the fat guy has glared at me several times." ”

Meng Zhong glanced back at Fei You, that is, the guard standing beside Zhao Wang He at this moment, even though he looked at Fei You's frequent glances, obviously asking him to take the initiative to come forward and talk to Zhao Wang He.

But the question is, what to say?

Especially in such a large public?

After thinking about it, Meng Zhong finally returned to his seat.

The banquet lasted until late at night.

After leaving the palace, the ministers of the Zhao State said goodbye to Tian Wen and Meng Zhong one after another, and returned to their homes.

Tian Wen smiled and said goodbye to these Zhao Chens with Li Dui, and when these people were almost gone, he called Meng Zhong aside.

"What the hell are you doing?!"

At that time, Tian Wen glared at Meng Zhong angrily and asked.

I have to say that Tian Wen was extremely dissatisfied with Meng Zhong's performance at the banquet today.

You must know that in today's banquet, Tian Wen spared no effort to strengthen his friendship with Li Dui, and made friends with the new courtiers of Zhao as much as possible, such as Han Xu, Lian Po and so on.

But what did Meng Zhong do? Except for drinking and laughing with Zhao Xi, Zhao Ben and a few other Zhao courtiers who had been good friends, he didn't take the initiative to talk to Zhao Wanghe once.

What made Tian Wen even more angry was that at today's banquet, he found Zhao Wang He frequently looking at Meng Zhong with a little expectation in his eyes, but Meng Zhong, the damn guy, actually pretended not to see it from beginning to end, and only cared about talking to Zhao Ben and Zhao Xi.

Later, even Zhao Ben and Zhao Xi felt it and drove Meng Zhong away, but Meng Zhong actually returned to his seat.

So much so that later, there were only two people sitting in their respective seats in the entire banquet, one was Zhao Wang He and the other was Meng Zhong, and the strange atmosphere made those in the hall who knew the complicated relationship between the two feel extremely uncomfortable.

At that time, Tian Wen couldn't wait to rush up and smash the wine bowl on this guy's head - what the hell do I want you to do in Zhao Kingdom?!

In the face of Tian Wen's reprimand, Meng Zhong didn't say a word, and only said at the end: "I am measured." ”

"It's better to be like this."

Looking at Meng Zhong, Tian Wen sneered: "Could it be that you are still counting on King Zhao to send someone to invite you in a low voice?" The other party is the monarch of the Zhao Kingdom! …… Remember the purpose of your trip, Li Dui's side, I will try to convince him, Zhao Wang He's side, you need to find a way to meet him, I hope you are worthy of your King Wei's ...... to you."

"I know." Meng Zhong nodded.

In the distance, Fengyang Jun Li Dui saw that Tian Wen and Meng Zhong were chatting about the same, so he walked over at the right time and said with a smile: "It's getting late, if you don't dislike it, you might as well go to my house tonight." ”

Tian Wen naturally would not refuse, after all, the purpose of his coming this time was to win over Li Dui, but Meng Zhong politely refused, after all, he and Li Dui did not have such a good relationship.

Seeing that Meng Zhong insisted on going back to live in the post house in the city, Fengyang Jun Li Dui did not force it, and was about to take Tian Wen, Feng Tan and his entourage to leave in a carriage, but saw Fei You walking out of the palace, and said with some eagerness: "Yuncheng Jun, please stay, your lord, please!" ”

Hearing this, Tian Wen couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.

In today's banquet, Meng Zhong ignored Zhao Wanghe like that, and Zhao Wanghe actually took the initiative to send someone to invite him?

Of course, this is a good thing.

Tian Wen immediately gave Meng Zhong a look.
