Chapter 25: The Dinner

After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere gradually became lively, and bursts of laughter were endless. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info if you ask where you have the most laughter in Licheng at the moment? Then it should definitely be the official residence of the king!

The laughter that filled the mansion was in stark contrast to the cries that enveloped Kurithiro, who were in the same city, but in completely different circumstances. Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road.

Since entering the territory of Lizhou, Wen Bin's hatred for Lizhou officialdom is increasing day by day, and he can't wait to sweep everyone away in front of him! But at this moment, Wen Bin can only be false and wrong, forcing a smile.

Now is not the time to tear your face, you can't resist head-on, you need to use a roundabout strategy. When the time is ripe, Wen Bin will definitely give an explanation to the people of Lizhou.

"Wenhou? Wenhou! Wen Bin's stunned appearance had already fallen into Bai Zongwu's eyes, and his heart moved, and he spoke.

"Oh! Ben Hou was a little distracted. Don't be surprised! ”

"How dare the lower officials! Aren't these drinks and dishes not to Wen Hou's appetite? ”

"The food and wine are very good! Make you worry a lot! Wen Bin shook his head and said with a smile.

"That's good! A certain Jingwen Hou cup! ”

"Haha! It's really good wine! Wen Bin picked up the wine glass, drank it all, and after a little taste, laughed loudly.

"In the past few years, when I returned to Beijing to report on my work, I often heard the eldest prince talk about Wenhou. Wenhou's prestige is very admired! ”

Hearing this, Wen Bin's face turned red, and he didn't know if it was because of the wine, or because he was stimulated by the word prestige. After a while, Wen Bin blushed and said, "Prestige? I guess it's notoriety! The envoy laughed! ”

"Haha! Notoriety? Why did Wen Hou say this? ”

"In the past, Benhou and the four princes did not do good deeds all day long, although they did not oppress the good people, but they also had bad deeds! Renown? Forget it! ”

When Wen Bin spoke, Bai Zongwu kept smiling, and waited for the former to finish speaking before he spoke: "The bad deeds that Wen Hou said are in the eldest prince, and he has not heard it!" ”

"Oh! What does the eldest prince say about Ben Hou? ”

"What the eldest prince said, it is inconvenient for the lower officials to mention it. When Wenhou returns to the capital, he can go to King Chen's Mansion and have the eldest prince tell it in person, is this good? ”

"Ben Hou grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he has known the eldest prince for many years, but since he went out of the palace with the four princes to build a mansion, he has not been able to go to the palace of King Chen to meet the eldest prince. If you think about it, it's a bit of a faux pas! When he returns to the capital, Ben Hou will definitely go to King Chen's Mansion. ”

"If Marquis Wen goes, the eldest prince will definitely be very happy." Hearing what Wen Bin said, a bright light flashed in Bai Zongwu's eyes, and at the same time, the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more intense.

The same smile also appeared on the corner of Wen Bin's mouth, and everything seemed so harmonious and peaceful! However, in the near future, when the smile fades, it will be when the sword is revealed.

At this time, what Wen Bin thought in his heart was not consistent with what he said, and he secretly said in his heart: "Hmph! The Great Prince! What a big backer! You want to use this to press me, dream! ”

Thinking of this, Wen Bin quietly picked up the wine glass, then raised it high, looked around, and said loudly: "Colleagues! Ben Hou toasts you with a glass! ”

"Thanks! Wenhou! The officials hurriedly raised their glasses and said in unison.

When Wen Bin raised his glass, the lively atmosphere in the hall reached its peak, and it was a picture of helping each other in the same boat!

After the glass of wine was drunk, the dinner continued, and many maids held wine jugs in front of the various dining tables like flowers and butterflies.

Half an hour later, Wen Bin stood up and said apologetically, "Colleagues! Ben Hou has been on the road day and night for several days, and at this moment he is a little overwhelmed, so he left first. You don't have to worry about me, even if you have a good time drinking here, I believe that the White Envoy will definitely entertain everyone. ”

As soon as Wen Bin finished speaking, all the officials stood up, and Bai Zongwu took the lead and said: "Wen Hou must have been exhausted for a long time, because the lower officials did not think it through!" Send Wenhou back to his house by the lower officials! ”

"It doesn't have to be like this, the dinner here needs to be presided over by the king. Well...... Please ask Dong to join the army and send me home! ”

"Yes!" Dong Senjun's voice sounded not far away.

Bai Zongwu first looked at Wen Bin, then looked at Dong Senjun, and said solemnly: "Dong Senjun, you must send Wenhou back to the house safely, and no situation will occur, otherwise you will only ask!" ”

"The subordinate officer receives the order!"

After speaking, Bai Zongwu turned his head to look at Wen Bin and said respectfully: "Xiaguan sent Wen Hou to the door of the official residence. ”

"There's a labor envoy!"

At this time, all the officials walked out from behind the table, bowed deeply, and said respectfully: "Congratulations to Wenhou!" ”

"All your colleagues must take the place of Benhou and drink all the good wine in the king's house. The expression that makes Jun's heart ache, Ben Hou is very much looking forward to it! ”

"Haha...... Haha......"

After Wen Bin said this, many officials burst into laughter, and even Bai Zongwu couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

After the laughter, under the guidance of Bai Zongwu, Wen Bin and the others walked towards the main entrance of the official residence. Soon after, they drove in a carriage in the direction of the mansion.

About half an hour had passed, and the mansion where he was temporarily living was already close in front of him, and when the carriage stopped, the guard Zeng Chen hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, took the carriage stool and placed it under the carriage.

As soon as Wen Bin stepped out of the carriage, he said, "Dong joins the army, please go back!" Thank you to the envoy on my behalf! ”

"Yes! The next official retires! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the coachman raised his whip, and the carriage began to move forward slowly, and in a short time disappeared into the night.

Wen Bin retracted his gaze, turned around and walked towards the main entrance of the mansion, and said as he walked: "Zeng Chen, go back to the house!" ”

"Yes, Wenhou!"

"Squeak......

The main door of the mansion slowly opened, and a servant walked out of the gate, and after only a few steps, he bowed his hand and said, "Wenhou, it's getting late, and the old slave is leading the way in front." ”

"No need, Ben Hou still knows the way! You rest early! Wen Bin waved his hand and said with a smile.

"This ...... This ......"

"Haha...... Haha......" Wen Bin smiled and walked towards the gate, followed by the guard Zeng Chen.

After a while, the two came to the vicinity of the main house. Zeng Chen was originally following behind Wen Bin, but suddenly heard a slight voice, he rushed forward with an arrow step, protected Wen Bin behind him, and shouted loudly at the same time: "Who? ”

"It's me, Liu Jun!"

As soon as the words fell, a figure walked out from the shadows, came to Wen Bin in a few steps, and whispered: "Wen Hou! I'm patrolling around, I don't know what else Wenhou commands? ”

"Liu Jun, hard work!"

"This is what subordinates should do! If Wen Hou has no other instructions, his subordinates will retire first! ”

"Okay, let's keep patrolling!" After speaking, Wen Bin gently patted Liu Jun on the shoulder.

Waiting for Wen Bin to withdraw his left hand, Liu Jun bowed forward, then turned around and walked towards the shadows, and in the blink of an eye, he had disappeared without a trace.

"What a handsome kung fu!" Wen Bin saw this scene and said with envy.

"Liu Jun is the best at stealth, if I hadn't relaxed my vigilance just now, I wouldn't have found him at all!" Zeng Chen also deeply agreed with what Wen Bin said.

"That's right! Zeng Chen, there is one thing you need to answer! ”

"Wenhou, please speak!"

"Does Xue Lan know kung fu?"

Hearing this question, Zeng Chen almost laughed, took several deep breaths in a row, and then barely suppressed his smile, and then said, "She is the strongest!" ”
