Chapter 157: Confrontation in the dark, the scene is silent
An extremely wide red sandalwood table was placed in the center of the Accord on the fifth floor of the Moon Drunken Restaurant, and Xu Muchuan followed Jun Yetian and Jun Dongqi into the Accord.
Dozens of officials lined up from the hall on the fifth floor in an orderly manner, and each found their corresponding position.
Jun Yetian and Jun Dongqi, as the princes of the dynasty, naturally sat in the first place.
Xu Muchuan hesitated for a moment and walked towards the center of the long table of about fifteen meters. Fu Hengsheng and Wen Ruofei followed behind Xu Muchuan calmly.
Just as Xu Muchuan was about to sit in a position in the middle of the long table, Jun Yetian smiled and said, "Lord Xu, your seat is here, how can it match your status as a minister." ”
Jun Yetian pointed to an empty spot on his left and looked at Xu Muchuan with a warm smile.
"Your Highness, I was only fortunate enough to have His Majesty's dragon grace to be able to drink with the two Highnesses and a group of adults. I'm afraid I'm not qualified to be able to control this seat. ”
Xu Muchuan said with a faint smile on his face. Then Xu Muchuan retracted his gaze, and the old god sat in an ordinary position in the middle.
In the face of Xu Muchuan's euphemistic refusal, a different color flashed in the depths of Jun Yetian's and Jun Dongqi's eyes, and there was a trace of displeasure between their eyebrows.
Don't look at it just now, it was a small move for Jun Yetian to ask Xu Muchuan to sit next to him, in fact, the meaning contained in it Xu Muchuan and the officials all understood.
Jun Yetian's move is to recruit Xu Muchuan into his command, if Xu Muchuan accepts Jun Yetian's seating gift, then it means that Xu Muchuan agrees, and naturally this banquet can be very pleasant.
However, how could Xu Muchuan accept Jun Yetian's solicitation? Therefore, Xu Muchuan sat down at will, which contained the meaning that Zaijun refused Yetian's kindness.
Twenty or thirty civil and military generals, large and small, all sat down one after another, but no one dared to touch the seat on the left side of Jun Yetian, after all, they all knew very well in their hearts that that position was not something they could sit in.
All the officials present glanced at Xu Muchuan from time to time, and they were very interested in Xu Muchuan.
Even after Jun Yetian understood Xu Muchuan's refusal, he still maintained a smile on his face: "Lord Xu, when I saw you a few days ago, this king failed to entertain you properly, and I really felt guilty in my heart. This time, the king, the second brother and a group of adults came to the Yue Drunken House to celebrate Lord Xu. Therefore, this king implores Lord Xu not to blame the previous king and his second brother for their rudeness to adults. ”
"Lord Xu, this king was a little rude at the beginning, please don't take it to heart." Jun Dongqi also echoed Jun Yetian's words, and said to Xu Muchuan with a chuckle.
Jun Ye Tiancheng Mansion was extremely deep, he stared at Xu Muchuan, and his smile was as warm as jade, looking very sincere.
A few days ago, when Liu Xunji, one of the thirteen generals of Beiyuan, was buried in the Shenyuan Tomb, Jun Yetian and Jun Dongqi intentionally or unintentionally made things difficult for Xu Muchuan. At that time, how could the two of them know that Xu Muchuan would become the minister appointed by the Great Emperor of the Northern Abyss, Jun Yuyi.
"Your Highness and Second Highness laughed, and there was absolutely no dissatisfaction with the two Highnesses." Xu Muchuan stroked his long hair that had fallen down, and responded indifferently.
"That's good." Jun Yetian nodded slightly, stared at Xu Muchuan for a few seconds, and then said to Zhao Yue, who was waiting on the side: "Tell them, you can serve wine and food." ”
"Yes, Your Highness." Zhao Yue said very respectfully and bowed to Jun Yetian, then turned around and walked towards the door of the Accord.
During the time when he was serving wine and food, Jun Yetian knocked lightly on the table and made a crisp voice: "Lord Xu, this king doesn't know your preferences, so he casually ordered his subordinates to prepare some wine and food, I hope you can like it." ”
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your trouble." Xu Muchuan immediately stood up and said with his hands clenched towards Jun Yetian.
In this case, Xu Muchuan must maintain a calm state, otherwise it will be easy to take advantage of the loophole. If you get into the trap set by Jun Yetian, you may cause a catastrophe.
Jun Dongqi is not as talkative as Jun Yetian, he just sits on the first place, quietly watching Xu Muchuan's every move, as if he wants to see through Xu Muchuan's thoughts.
After a while, two young and beautiful women walked in with fragrant delicacies in their hands. The taste of the delicacies mixed with the faint fragrance of the woman instantly filled the Accord.
Some officials watched these graceful women walking on lotus steps to deliver wine and food, and their hearts couldn't help but ripple faintly, and their throats couldn't help but roll.
Immediately after, as a group of graceful women delivered back and forth a few times, hundreds of delicacies were placed on the long table. A variety of fine wines in silver kettles were also on the table.
Xu Muchuan sat in the center, and there were some beautiful women rubbing his back and shoulders intentionally or unintentionally. Even so, Xu Muchuan looked straight ahead without moving, making an indifferent appearance.
Jun Yetian sat on top of the first place, squinting his eyes and carefully observing Xu Muchuan's actions. He found that Xu Muchuan was not even half moved by these beauties, and he didn't even look at them. Suddenly, Jun Yetian muttered to himself in his heart: "It's not good for wine, it's a little tricky." ”
After Jun Yetian saw that the entire long table was full of wine and food, he waved his hand lightly, signaling that these graceful women could go down.
Twenty or so women did not dare to disobey Jun Yetian's orders, and walked out of the Accord one after another. Some women also glanced at Xu Muchuan's back curiously.
"Come on! Let's toast you to a cup. Jun Yetian slowly stood up from his seat, raised his glass to Xu Muchuan and said.
The twenty or so officials immediately poured the wine full, and with a smile on their faces, they pointed their wine glasses at Xu Muchuan.
Seeing this, Xu Muchuan immediately stood up, and before Jun Yetian and others could toast, Xu Muchuan drank it all and said, "Your Highness is polite, how can you stand the toast of the two Highnesses and the adults." ”
It seems that Xu Muchuan has been courteous for a few weeks, and he will do it first as a respect. In fact, isn't this a rejection of Jun Yetian's kindness, which indirectly shows that he Xu Muchuan will not compromise and seek perfection?
Jun Yetian's face had darkened, he looked at the smiling Xu Muchuan silently, and the wine glass raised in his hand was also slowly placed on the table by him.
For a while, along with Jun Yetian's silent action, the entire Accord was suddenly silent, and no one dared to speak.
