Su Qin was apprehensive in his heart, but his face had to pretend to be indifferent, he carefully observed Tian Tong's father and son, and found that the two of them were also trying their best to make a relaxed and happy look, but there was a trace of nervousness in their eyes unconsciously.

The words of both sides are like white water at this time, in fact, there is no taste at all, but there are still many of them, and they have been so flooded all the time, covering up their true thoughts.

Time seemed to have frozen, although it was less than half an hour, but for Su Qin, it was longer than usual for a day, just because there was uneasiness hidden in his heart.

It wasn't until the sky was close to darkness that the doorman of Tianfu rushed to the entrance of the lobby, and he panted and reported: "The king is close to the gate of the mansion." ”

Tian Tong and Su Qin stopped talking, and he and Tian Ming hurriedly got up and went to the gate to greet them. Su Qin hesitated for a moment: Should he also go with Tian Tong?

At this moment of hesitation, Tian Tong's father and son had disappeared without a trace, "They are really fast enough, they are like rabbits!" Su Qin thought.

Unable to catch up with Tian Tong's father and son, he simply decided to wait outside the lobby. "It's okay to go with the Tian family and his son, so that Qi Wang Tian Bijiang can see that he is with Tian Tong's father and son, maybe he will be suspicious."

After waiting for less than a quarter of an hour, King Qi's chariot came to the outside of the Tianfu hall under the guidance of Tian Tong's father and son. After Su Qin saw King Qi's chariot, he followed a large number of palace guards, and a large area of black pressure came one after another.

They followed the chariot of the king of Qi, and after the chariot of the king of Qi stopped, the guards began to line up on both sides of the road of Tianfu, and they even lined up outside the gate of Tianfu.

These guards were all fierce and high-spirited, with swords at their waists and halberds in their hands. There were a thousand of them.

This was like a formation of a great enemy, which really made Su Qin feel amazed. He thought of Qi Wangtian Pijiang's quirk of liking to make a big show. I thought to myself, "Would you like to have a meal?" As for it. Bringing so many people here was as if there was going to be a war. ”

Su Qin was surprised in his heart, but he didn't stop, he walked a few steps closely, and went straight to the side of King Qi's chariot to pick it up.

I saw King Qi happily getting out of the car, followed by a woman, in her forties. The complexion is dark, but it has to be smeared with a thick layer of lead powder, so it has an unnatural grayish white.

She had a pair of small eyes under a single eyelid, a large, slightly upturned nose, thick lips, and red lipstick.

This woman's appearance is a little weird, and she doesn't know how to dress up, in front of the well-dressed and coquettish women of the Qi Kingdom, this kind of woman is really eye-catching, not only because of her appearance, but also because of her weird makeup.

Needless to say, this woman was Zhong Lichun, the queen of Qi Wangtian Pijiang, and Su Qin could almost tell at a glance that it was her. I've heard all kinds of legends about Zhong Lichun before, and I don't think it's strange to see her face today.

If it's extremely ugly, it's not like it's going to be it, but all in all, it feels strange, and I was impressed when I first saw it.

"With the curious character of Qi Wangtian Pijiang, it is not difficult to understand at all to ask such an eccentric woman to be the queen. It is rumored that Zhong Lichun is extremely smart and eloquent, but today I want to see what is special about this woman. Su Qin flashed this thought.

King Qi still had that indifferent look, and got out of the car staggeringly. When he saw Su Qin, his eyes lit up, and when he saw Su Qin bowing to him, he waved his hand casually and ordered him to be exempted.

He immediately pointed at Su Qin and introduced to Zhong Lichun beside him with a big grin: "This person is that Luoyang person Su Qin. ”

Su Qin saw that King Qi introduced himself to the queen, and hurriedly saluted the queen again. Zhong Lichun squinted his small eyes, looked at Su Qin, showed a disdainful expression, and snorted lightly in his nose, without even making a gesture of waving his hand.

Su Qin thought to himself: "I haven't done anything to the queen before, why do you treat me so contemptuously." Queen Zhong Lichun only snorted, but did not return the salute, which made the boss in his heart unhappy.

Zhang Yi also came out to see the driver, he stood behind Su Qin, and also noticed the queen's disgust towards Su Qin, he faintly felt: It must be Senior Brother Su's bad reputation that made the queen have a bad impression, or else it would not be so unkind.

He could think of this reason, but it was inconvenient to tell Su Qin, and besides, Senior Brother Su and the queen couldn't deal with each other a few times, so it didn't matter.

When Zhang Yi followed Su Qin to greet Qi Wang Tian Bijiang and Queen Zhong Lichun just now, King Qi obviously noticed Zhang Yi. He glanced at Zhang Yi, his movements were very hidden, Zhang Yi clearly felt it, but it was difficult for others to notice. Su Qin was still in the dark.

King Qi led a group of people into the lobby of Tianfu, and behind them, a large number of guards entered the hall with them. They lined up in neat lines on the east, south, west, and north sides of the lobby.

The guards didn't say a word to each other, but they completed a series of actions such as standing in line and holding halberds in an orderly manner. Su Qin looked at the guards and felt uneasy: "Is this something guarded?" Is it to prevent a sudden attack? There is an armory in Tiantong's mansion, and it is possible that the king of Qi already knows about it, so he does not dare to hold it up, put up his full armament, and wait for the battle. ”

But Tian Tong turned a blind eye, his face did not change color, he was calm, unhurried to lead the way, led the King of Qi to the west seat to sit, King Qi was not polite at all, and sat down with his wife Zhong Lichun straightforwardly.

The four inner guards that King Qi often carried with him also stood solemnly behind them, looking around vigilantly, ready for possible accidents at any time.

After Tian Tong led the king of Qi into the table, he did not immediately return to his own table, but loudly ordered the maids waiting for orders in the hall to start serving wine and food immediately. At this time, I saw more than 20 maidservants serving in the lobby, shuttling back and forth, and the delicacies of the mountains and seas were placed in front of the guests attending the banquet in an orderly manner.

Tian Tong ordered Steward Sun, who was standing in the hall, to "Go and move out the 'Yicheng Mash Wine' that has been stored in the cellar for ten years and pour it into the bronze statue in the lobby." ”

Steward Sun turned to a few servants at the door and said, "Hurry up and follow me to get wine." ”

At this moment, Qi Wang Tian Bijiang, who had been talking to the queen, suddenly interjected loudly: "Uncle entertains the widow, the widow is really unhappy, this water and land delicacies have made the uncle break the money, so the wine, let the widow come out." ”

Tian Tong hurriedly replied: "The king came to Tian Tong's mansion, which is the greatest honor of Tian Mansion, and it is full of brilliance. There is no such thing as breaking the bank. "He also wants Steward Sun to fetch the wine.

However, as he spoke, King Qi had already waved to the people around him, and the guards behind him immediately went out to the outside of the hall to convey King Qi's instructions to the eunuchs accompanying him.

Su Qin paid attention to it for a while, and found that the King of Qi was really prepared, and the eunuchs took out six jars of wine from the carriage they were driving, walked to the hall one after another, and poured the wine into the big bronze statue in the hall without saying anything.

Tian Tong was stunned there, his expression was very unnatural, he didn't expect the slightest hint of King Qi's move, so he seemed very passive and at a loss for a while.

However, Tian Bijiang is the king, and although Tian Tong is his uncle, in such a solemn banquet, of course, he still has to abide by the etiquette system, and the order of the king of Qi is like this, and he can't be disobedient and confrontational in person.

Not to mention that the king of Qi wanted to drink the wine he brought, he immediately ordered his eunuch to say, "Go and fetch the widow's nine-turn purple gold pot." The widow is used to drinking alcohol. ”

The eunuch went outside the hall and took a wine jug with a peculiar shape, only to see that this jug emitted a light purple color, bright and shiny, spotless, clear and recognizable. A crane is carved on the lid of the pot, standing on one foot, with its head raised to the sky, lifelike.

When Su Qin saw this pot, he couldn't help but think of Qi Wangtian's character of liking curious and special things, this thing was a very good example, only if he searched exhaustively, he could find such an artifact.

It's so delicate and beautiful that you can't put it down at first sight. How can you be willing to let go? It is no wonder that when Tian Bijiang, the king of Qi, even attended the dinner party in Tian Tong's mansion, he had to use it to drink in person.

The eunuch carefully took the purple gold pot, and when he arrived in front of the bronze statue, he filled the pot with a copper spoon with wine. Respectfully brought it to the several cases in front of King Qi.

Then, he took out two ear cups from his cuffs, which also exuded a purple-gold hue, and the slender body of the cups resembled a swimming carp. The eunuch placed the ear cup in front of the king and queen of Qi. Then, he walked backwards respectfully, all the way back.

Su Qin thought to himself: "King Qi really pays a lot of attention to drinking, looking at the series of actions of the eunuch taking the pot and serving the wine, it is obvious that he has been trained for a long time, and everything is so natural." ”

Tian Tong had already prepared fine wine and wine utensils, but now it was useless, and he watched King Qi behave in his own way. ”

King Qi didn't glance at Tian Tong either, he took care of himself and Zhong Lichun's head was applied, and from time to time he made a sound of surprise, because they were close to each other, they spoke very quietly, their mouths were close to their ears, almost whispering, and others really couldn't hear what they were talking about.

I just feel that the king of Qi and the queen are talking speculatively, as if they have endless words to say to each other. is already a husband and wife, and the pillow has not yet finished speaking, and even attending the banquet has to be greasy and crooked.

When Su Qin saw King Qi's behavior, he felt a little incomprehensible, but because he was a guest, why bother. He simply sat there quietly, looking up at Tian Tong from time to time, noticing his reaction.

Tian Tong didn't show any annoyance, he laughed dryly, and said to his son Tian Ming who was sitting next to him: "Ming'er, you go and fill the wine for the guests." ”

When Tian Ming heard his father's order, he hurriedly picked up the copper kettle on his table, stood up, went to the several tables of the King of Qi, knelt down respectfully, and raised his hand to pour wine for the King and Queen of Qi.
