In addition to asking Liu Xiwei and Gao Jian on time with Qin Fei, Xiang Chonghua practiced with all his heart.

Wei Qianxue and Qin Fei were torn between many guests. Wei Qianxue's tearful beauty and Qin Fei's incorruptible tongue soon made everyone have a great change in their opinion of Xiang Chonghua and others. Although Gao Jian is still dissatisfied, he can only accept it when he sees it.

Wei Qianxue has always lived alone elsewhere, and Qin Fei has more implicitly said that she and Xiang Chonghua are just brother and sister, which undoubtedly makes those guests who are very excited about Wei Qianxue come to mind, and many people even began to try to get close to this stunning beauty who is gentle and lovely. Xiang Chonghua and Qin Fei were stained with Wei Qianxue's light and became familiar with many visitors.

Although Liu Xiwei never said anything, he paid more attention to the two of them, and even began to ask Qin Fei for some government affairs.

In the blink of an eye, the half-moon period was approaching, and Xiang Chonghua and Qin Fei were not only rewarded by Liu Xiwei with armor, bows and arrows, but also with good war horses. Wei Qianxue also received tailor-made men's clothing and sabre. Doormen flocked to the door in batches, taking the initiative to introduce the rules of the royal family. Qin Fei asked Wei Qianxue to serve tea to the guests, and on the other hand, he inquired about the situation in the house and the court without a trace while they were fascinated.

The birthday banquet of King Qi was held in Chu Mengze in January, with the intention of warning the descendants of the royal family not to abandon the martial arts of riding and archery, and to remember that strengthening the army and rejuvenating the country can be described as a grand event. In addition to the relatives of the Qi royal family and famous nobles, there were also envoys sent by other countries who participated in the conference.

The State of Qi is located in the south, which has a deterrent to the Chen State and the Jiang State, and is relatively distant from the northern countries, so the envoys are also nobles of the Chen State and the Jiang State.

The prince Liu Xixuan naturally became the center as soon as he arrived, while Liu Xiwei and the Hakka retainers of the other sects lost their lustre. The third prince, Liu Xiqian, was clumsy in martial arts because he was always good at writing and clumsy, so he only brought a handful of guards, which seemed to be the thinnest.

The envoys of Chen Guo and Jiang Guo were both well-known generals, and the two were harmonious on the surface, but they secretly kept a certain distance from each other and offered great courtesy to Liu Xiqiu.

Qin Fei whispered: "These two people are not only one of the best generals in China, but also one is the confidant of Prince Chen, and the other is King Jiang's right and left hand. This time they sent an envoy to the Qi Kingdom, at least they could not return to China until the end of King Qi's birthday banquet, so they didn't worry about accidents? ”

Chen Jiadao on the side: "Yongguo is in trouble because of the contradiction between Xi Lihua and the clan, and their only fear is Qi Guo and the other party. This time, the generals of the two sides arrived in Qi Country together, so naturally there was no problem. If you want to worry, I'm afraid you are also worried about whether you can please King Qi. ”

Qin Fei closed his mouth, as if he was pondering something.

Xiang Chonghua looked at Jiang Guo's flag, his knuckles that were white from clenching made a "clucking" sound, and gritted his teeth and said, "I thought King Jiang was something great, and he was just a dog of Qi Guo." Sooner or later, such a country will be doomed. ”

Chen Jia said with a smile: "Although King Jiang is a bag, Yanfu is first-class. His lady Xi is a beautiful woman in the world. But even for this big beauty, his position is dangerous enough. ”

Xiang Chonghua was shocked and said, "Could it be that Yingyangjun is also ...... to Princess Xiya."

Chen Jia shook his head with a smile and said, "Our lord is notoriously unfeminine. Besides, I heard that the king already has a beautiful confidant. He quickly glanced around, lowered his voice and said, "If our monarch is crowned in the grand ceremony, it will be a matter of time before Jiang Guo is destroyed, and this great beauty will be rewarded to a meritorious general." I think Brother Hua, your future is limitless, and this Yanfu who everyone is jealous of may not be ......"

Xiang Chonghua was sad and happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "I hope to borrow Brother Chen's auspicious words." ”

Chen Jia looked at Wei Qianxue, who was dressed as a man, and said to Xiang Chonghua: "Naturally, someone who can be worthy of Mrs. Xi should be a hero in a thousand miles." The younger brother only hopes to have a wife like a thousand snow girls, and he has no regrets in this life. ”

Xiang Chonghua's mind was thinking about the past with Xiya, and his face was sad and joyful. Qin Fei hurriedly pushed him secretly, and changed the topic: "I wonder if the Yin Mo clan will attend?" ”

Chen Jia said: "Since Mo Lingyin's death, the Mo family has been declining day by day, and he has long lost his qualification to participate. Mo Lingyin is really a rare good look. But it's a pity that Mo's has no available talents other than Ling Yin, and with a contented and happy temperament, the situation is not as good as year by year. ”

Sun Le on the other side also sighed: "After Mo Lingyin's death, what was unlucky was the Yingyang Junfu? Since the grandfather of the prince became Ling Yin, there are fewer and fewer people in the court who dare to tell the truth. This makes Yin's governance of the country a mess, and the level of business is not low. Since he and Da Sima formed a family of children and daughters, he has roped in Da Sima and almost monopolized the trade of soldiers and horses in Qi State. ”

Xiang Chonghua took a breath and said, "So, Ling Yin and Da Sima are both the prince's people?" ”

Sun Le secretly glanced around and said in a low voice, "It's not." If it weren't for the support of these two families, how could he be firmly in the position of the crown prince? Fortunately, Da Sima is still afraid of the left and right Sima, otherwise Qi Guo would not have known what he had become. ”

Qin Fei said in a low voice: "Can Sima and Yingyangjun be friends?" ”

Sun Le said: "Both of them are upright and good men, and they will never deliberately favor them because of personal feelings. But as Mo Lingyin's protégé, he naturally took care of Yingyangjun, who was Mo Lingyin's grandson, not to mention Yingyangjun's talent for everyone to see. This time, we can be in charge, thanks to the recommendation of these two people. ”

Xiang Chonghua nodded and said, "Although Yingyangjun is not as powerful as the prince, he also has many potential helps. ”

Chen Jiadao: "Mo Lingyin discovered many talents from humble families back then, and most of the officials who were not good at sycophancy were also reused because of him, and most of the ministers above the humerus in the court were favored by his old man. If there is no suppression by Ling Yin and Da Sima, hey......"

Xiang Chonghua and Qin Fei coincidentally looked at Ling Yin, who was standing tall and bulging, and Wei Qianxue, who was dressed in men's clothes, leaned over and whispered, "King Qi is here." ”

Nearly a thousand Janissaries dressed in silver armor carved out a path in unison, forming a series of barriers on both sides, the outermost layer holding a shield and armor on one knee, the middle layer half-crouching with bows and arrows, and the innermost layer of Praetorian guards standing upright with spears in hand.

King Qi rode in a military chariot surrounded by the golden armor guards, Taibu and the master of ceremonies in charge of the sacrificial rites were in the military chariot behind the king of Qi in ceremonial clothes, and at the end of the convoy were concubines and their children, the only three princes of Qi were all adults, so they were just all female dependents.

Everyone cheered and bowed in unison, and the ceremony was first divined by the servant under the auspices of the master of ceremonies, and the end of the divination was the sacrificial ceremony. King Qi was of medium stature, slightly fat, and his swollen eye bubbles gave people the impression of being addicted to wine, and when he saw that the ceremony was arranged in an orderly manner, he couldn't help but smile and nod frequently to Liu Xiwei.

Xiang Chonghua whispered to Qin Fei: "I only heard that the Qi people were superstitious about ghosts and gods, but today I really opened my eyes. Although there are divinations in various countries, they are only divined before important decisions. How can they even take half a day to hunt? Even a rational person like Liu Xiwei has been counting every day and occupying it every day these days. I see that Taibu, who is in charge of the sacrifice, looks even more vigorous than King Qi! ”

Qin Fei said in a low voice: "This time the field hunting ceremony was handed over to the prince, but it is the first time in the world. If it is properly arranged, not only can you raise your eyebrows in front of King Qi, but you can also deepen your ties with the Praetorian Guard composed of the children of the royal family, which is a good opportunity to win the support of the royal family and nobles. But once something goes wrong, it's not just a shameful problem, if you don't get the good reputation that Yingyangjun has worked hard for many years, it will be wasted overnight. ”

Xiang Chonghua said: "What can happen?" You see how magnificent this battle is. If I were King Qi, I would be very satisfied. ”

King Qi's face suddenly showed a strange look, and the master of ceremonies also lost his grace and generosity, and his expression was panicked. The panic then slowly spread, and everyone stared at the burning turtle shell in Taibu's hand. Although Xiang Chonghua has always been disdainful of Wu Bu, he also recognized that the crack showed a big murderer.

Liu Xiwei's cold sweat poured out, and he only felt that his armor was heavy as if he had ten thousand catties, and the retainers and guests of Yingyang Jun's Mansion were all shocked and looked at Liu Xiwei in fear. Qin Fei frowned, and quietly swept towards Liu Xiqiu, just catching a flash of schadenfreude.

Chen Jia whispered: "Oops! It's good, but it hit a big nail! Being frozen on the stage like this, the king must be furious! ”

Only then did Xiang Chonghua realize the huge impact of divination on the Qi people, and whispered to Qin Fei: "What should I do?" ”

King Qi's tiger body was already trembling, and his eyes were full of anger.

Qin Fei's cold sweat also broke out, and he thought to himself: "The turtle shell must have been passive. In this case, as long as Taibu pointed the finger at Yingyangjun who was responsible, saying that he was an unknown person, Yingyangjun would never want to turn over in his life. ”

Taibu fell to his knees and began to howl loudly towards the sky, chanting words. Everyone knelt down together, and Liu Xixuan's eyes were even more proud.

Qin Fei said to Chen Jia: "What is Taibu doing?" ”

Chen Jiadao: "I am praying for forgiveness, and asking the ghosts and gods to point out the way to resolve it." ”

Qin Fei's hands and feet were cold, and he said secretly: "The next thing must be a blatant frame-up." ”
