Eighth Prince Li Xian, is this going to completely tear his face with Xie An, the Shaoqing of the Great Prison Temple?

But all the celebrities in Jijing who received the invitation from the eldest grandson's family couldn't help but have a huge question in their hearts.

Regarding this matter, there are people like the crown prince Li Wei who are purely for the sake of watching a good show, there are also those who are in a dilemma like Ruan Shaozhou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, some are as inexplicable as Li Shou, the king of Anping, and there are also those who are full of worries like Liangqiu Dance, all kinds of people, with completely different thoughts, came to the mansion of Sun Jing, the chief of the military department, one after another to attend the banquet.

I have to say that today's banquet is the most concerning event since the murder of the ministers on the Shangyuan Festival, so much so that around the time of Shen, there were more than 300 guests who arrived at the eldest grandson's house for the banquet, and the street in front of the mansion was overcrowded.

"His Royal Highness Li Shen, the third prince, His Royal Highness Li Xiao, the sixth prince, His Royal Highness Li Yan, the seventh prince, the three highnesses have arrived!" Suddenly, a singing voice was heard, and the people who were talking in front of the eldest grandson's mansion suddenly quieted down a lot.

Everyone turned their heads to look, and the three princes, led by the third prince Li Shen, got out of the carriage, were surrounded by guards, and slowly came towards the gate of Changsun Mansion.

Before everyone in front of the mansion had time to salute the three princes, a carriage decorated with the mark of the Anping Palace, slowly drove and stopped in front of the mansion.

"The Nine Emperor Princes, King Anping, His Royal Highness Li Shou has arrived!"

In a concerted singing, Li Shou and his confidant Wang Dan got out of the carriage, looked around at the people present, and smiled, today's Li Shou is no longer the dispensable idle prince of the year, and the great victory in the northwest battlefield has greatly improved Li Shou's status in Jijing, not to mention, as long as it is a Jijing person, one of the protagonists of today's banquet, Xie An, the Shaoqing of the Great Prison Temple. is the confidant of His Royal Highness the Prince.

"Hello to the three brothers!" Li Shou chuckled and saluted Li Shen and the others.

"Xiao Jiu is polite!" Li Shen smiled and hugged Li Shou's shoulder, and said polite words when they met, after all, since Li Shou took over the errand of counterinsurgency in the northwest for Li Shen, the third prince Li Shen regarded Li Shou as his own person, although Li Shou finally successfully quelled the rebellion in Chang'an and Luoyang, which made Li Shen a little red-eyed, but Li Shen also knew that Li Shou was safe and sound, and that was the ability of the people around him. That is, Xie An, if he were to go, he might not be able to be made into what the crown prince Li Wei would become.

Glancing at Changsun Jing, the squire of the military department who was standing in front of the door of the Changsun Mansion with a smiling face, and Li Xian, the eighth prince, Li Yan, the seventh prince, frowned slightly and asked Li Shoudao. "Xiao Jiu, what happened today...... What's going on? ”

In fact, Li Shou was also confused, shook his head when he heard the words, and said, "That guy Xie An has been very busy these days, and the younger brother has not been together with him for many days, does the third brother know the specifics?" ”

Li Shen shook his head when he heard this, looked at Li Xian in the distance and frowned and said. "It's a bit weird! - The eighth child has always been smart and witty, but today's events are not a clever act......" As he spoke, he seemed to see something. Nunu said with a complicated expression, "Heh, even that one is here?" Hey! ”

Li Shou and the other three princes followed the direction that Li Shen intended and saw it in amazement. The crown prince Li Wei took the fifth prince Li Cheng, Guanglu Temple Qing Wenqin, and the rest of the close attendants. He got out of the carriage and strode towards this direction.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived! His Royal Highness Li Cheng, the fifth prince, has arrived! Guanglu Temple Wen Qinwen Lord has arrived! ”

In a concerted song, the crown prince Li Wei and the others had already walked in front of several princes, arched their hands and said with a smile, "A few brothers are here early, and they are one step late for their brothers!" ”

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Li Shen, Li Shou and others hurriedly bowed.

"No courtesy, no courtesy, they are all their own brothers, why do you have to see the outside like this?" As he spoke, the crown prince Li Wei glanced at Li Shou, and said in a low voice, "Xiao Jiu, the foolish brother has all kinds of places that he can't live in before, and I hope that there are a lot of adults in the little nine, don't worry about the foolish brother!" ”

Maybe he felt that he was about to see Xie An and Li Xian completely tear their faces, this His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the East Palace was in a very good mood, and he actually apologized to Li Shou in front of everyone, which made Li Shou, who hated His Royal Highness the Prince deeply in his heart, stunned and a little helpless.

Seeing Li Shou's strange expression, the crown prince Li Wei didn't think about it in detail, he took the third prince Li Shen with one hand and the ninth prince Li Shou with the other, and said in a low voice, "Maybe a few brothers still have all kinds of suspicions about the foolish brother, but at least today, we are friends and not enemies......

Following the gaze of the crown prince Li Wei, he glanced at the eighth prince Li Xian in the distance, Li Shen and the other three princes nodded slowly, and although Li Shou was a little unhappy in his heart, he didn't say anything.

may have heard the singing of the people in the house, and the eldest grandson Jing naturally learned that His Royal Highness the prince had arrived, and hurriedly came to greet him, and behind him, followed by the eighth prince Li Shou and his henchmen to escort Ji Hong.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please! Your Royal Highnesses, several princes, please! Lord Wang, please! "The prince in the mouth of the eldest grandson Jing refers to Li Shou, the king of Anping.

"Hey!" Glancing at the eighth prince Li Xian, who saluted him, the crown prince Li Wei raised a somewhat inexplicable smile on his face, laughed, and beckoned the rest of the princes to enter the palace together.

During this period, Li Shou glanced at the Eighth Prince Li Xian with a complicated expression, but in the end he didn't say anything, and finally walked into the mansion.

Looking at the backs of these extremely distinguished guests, Ji Hong frowned, lowered his voice and said to Li Xian, "It's not good, Your Highness!" - Look at this sign, Your Highness, you are already the target of the public......"

"......" Li Xian was silent, turned his head, and suddenly his eyes froze, because he saw that several more carriages were slowly parked not far in front of the mansion, and one of them was even marked with the mark of the Liangqiu family in the Donggong Mansion.

Is it finally here?

Li Xian's eyes narrowed, his hands behind his back, and waited quietly for someone to come.

"General Hou Liangqiu of Dongzhen has arrived! The Acting Ministry of Justice, the Shaoqing of the Great Prison Temple, Xie Anxie, is here! Lord Xun Zhengxun of the Weiwei Temple has arrived! ”

With a singing, the front of the Changsun Mansion suddenly quieted down, and everyone present looked coldly at Xie An, Liang Qiuwu, and Xun Zheng, and behind them, followed by the guards with swords on their waists, Fei Guo, Su Xin, Li Jing, Qi Hao, Liao Li, Ma Dan, these are worthy of being fierce generals who have experienced the Northwest Battlefield, their momentum and eyes all make the guards of the rest of the people present ashamed of themselves.

"Master Xie, Xiao Wang has been waiting for a long time!" Under the surprised gaze of the rest of the people present, Li Xian took a few steps forward and greeted Xie An and the others.

"The Eight Wise Kings greet you. The lower officials are carelessly panicked! With a bit of sarcasm, Xie An saluted Li Xian, then looked at Changsun Jing, arched his hand to him, and said respectfully, "Xiaguan has seen Lord Changsun!" ”

"Humph!" Eldest Sun Jing glared at Xie An with an angry face, turned his head to look at Liang Qiuwu and Xun Zheng, raised his hand and said, "Everyone." Please! ”

"Please!" Secretly pulling Xie An's sleeves, Liang Qiuwu quietly pulled Xie An into the mansion, and when she passed Li Xian and Ji Hong, she glanced at the two of them lightly.

"Humph!" After Xie An and Liang Qiu danced, Fei Guo, Su Xin, Li Jing and others snorted coldly. He also followed into the house.

Looking at the backs of Xie An's generals for a long time, Li Xian sighed softly, "I heard that this Xie Shaoqing brought all the meritorious generals who rebelled against Chang'an into the mansion, I thought it was a rumor, but I didn't want this matter to be true...... Speaking of this, he casually glanced at Ji Hong, but unexpectedly found it. Beads of sweat broke out on Ji Hong's forehead.

"Mr. Ji? - What's wrong with you? Li Xian asked in surprise.

"Didn't Your Highness feel it?" Glancing at Li Xian in surprise, Ji Hong turned his head to look at Liang Qiu Wu who was far away, swallowed his saliva, and looked frightened. He lowered his voice and said, "Unbelievable, just now that woman glanced at it, Ji Mou actually felt a lot of pressure. Breathless...... This feeling is very similar to Chen Shuai! ——He is worthy of being the leading general of Da Zhou. [Yan Hu Ji] Liang Qiu Dance! ——[Jijing Shuangbi]...... They're all monsters, these two women ......"

Li Xian shook his head with a smile, he understood Ji Hong's feelings very well, after all, in the Great Zhou, women rarely can surpass men, but Liang Qiu Wu and the eldest grandson Xiangyu seem to be the outliers among them, and it is precisely because of this that the son of the Jijing family is called these two strange women by [Shuangbi].

"The wind and rain are coming...... recalling Xie An's extremely unkind eyes in his mind, Li Xian raised his head, glanced at the gray sky, and muttered a pun.

To be honest, in fact, none of the people present today did not know the powerful relationship of today's events, and it is no wonder, after all, in the main mansion hall of the eldest grandson's family, there are many big people from different camps.

It can be said that in addition to today's son, Prime Minister Yingong, and Dong

In addition to the high-ranking old people such as Liang Qiugong and Kong Wen of the Great Prison Temple, the leaders of the younger generation are all gathered here.

In terms of identity, it is natural that the crown prince Li Wei is the most honorable, and in terms of official positions, Ruan Shaozhou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, ranks first, and when it comes to deterrence, I am afraid that none of the people present can overshadow the Dongzhen Marquis and the general of the Eastern Army, Liang Qiuwu.

Maybe before today, these people belonged to various forces, but when they stepped into the main hall, they were divided into three camps, either cheering for the Eighth Emperor Li Xian, or cheering for Xie An, and more, like Ruan Shaozhou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who came simply to do peace.

In all fairness, if it weren't for the instructions of his teacher Yin Gong, Ruan Shaozhou really didn't want to wade into this troubled water, although he belonged to the eldest grandson family, and the eldest grandson family supported the eighth prince Li Xian, but the question is, Xie An is his student, wouldn't this relationship be closer than that of the eighth prince Li Xian? What's more, Ruan Shaozhou also likes to value himself as a student.

Recalling that after learning about this, Duke Yin instructed himself to take care of the banquet so that the banquet would not get out of control, Ruan Shaozhou secretly complained in his heart.

It's no wonder that I didn't see that none of the older generation who were highly respected in Jijing came?

But then again, after knowing the purpose of this banquet, how could respected old people like Li Ji, the Son of Heaven, the Prime Minister Yingong, and the Duke of Dongguo Liang Qiu be fooling around with this group of young people who are accompanying their nephews and even grandchildren?

It's a pity that Ruan Shaozhou, who is only in his thirties this year, can be regarded as a young and handsome man in the court in the eyes of Duke Yin, and because of this, he has no choice but to do such a hard job.

Let's hope something doesn't go wrong!

A dignified member of the imperial court, Ruan Shaozhou secretly prayed in his heart, after all, once something happened, with his position, it was really not good to favor either Li Xian and Xie An.

But unfortunately, God didn't seem to hear his prayers, and soon after the guests were seated, Ji Hong, the henchman next to Li Xian, walked out, grabbed a handful of chopsticks and threw them into the air under the bewildered gaze of everyone in the hall, and then quickly pulled out the sword at his waist and waved the sword.

I saw the sword light flashing wildly, and when everyone looked at it again, those chopsticks that fell to the ground. was split in half by Ji Hong one by one.

While the guests in the hall were dumbfounded, Ji Hong smiled and bent down to salute the guests, and said with a chuckle, "In the next Ji Hong, I will do a trick and I am willing to help you drink!" Speaking of this, he glanced at the crown prince Li Wei and Xie An intentionally or unintentionally.

After a silence, all the guests in the hall were in an uproar and clapped their hands one after another.

"What a handsome character. What a handsome swordsmanship! Wang Dan next to Li Shou said with a shocked face.

"......" may have noticed that this was Ji Hong's deliberate provocation, and the crown prince Li Wei's face sank, and he glanced at Wen Qin, the Qingqing of Guanglu Temple from the side.

Wen Qin suddenly understood, stood up, and took the sword from the hand of his entourage. Walking to the hall, he said with a smile, "Mr. Ji is a good martial artist!" - Wen Mou's skills are itchy, and he has some tricks, and he asks Mr. for advice! As he spoke, he glanced at his entourage.

Under the surprised gazes of the guests in the hall, the attendant threw an empty wine cup. But seeing Wen Qin's gaze, he actually used the tip of the sword in his hand to catch the empty wine cup steadily, and then. In the empty space in the hall, a set of swordsmanship was performed, and to the shocking person, the empty wine cup was always glued to the tip of his sword.

After half a column of incense. But listening to Wen Qin's deep sigh, the tip of the sword in his hand tapped the wine cup. Suddenly, there was a crisp sound on the ground, and the bronze wine cup exploded in the air, exploded into pieces, and fell all over the ground.

Glancing lightly at Ji Hong, who had a surprised expression, and the stunned guests, Prince Li Wei sneered in his heart, and took the lead and clapped his hands gently.

After a short silence, all the guests in the hall reacted, and suddenly, a burst of admiration sounded in the hall.

At this time, Wen Qin took his sword and saluted to all the guests present, and returned to the banquet with a calm face.

"He is worthy of being one of the four towns and the commander of the Northern Army!" Looking at Wen Qin in the distance with complicated eyes, the third prince Li Shen muttered.

You must know that Li Shen tried to recruit Wen Qin a long time ago, but unfortunately this matter did not succeed.

Seeing that Ji Hong on Li Xian's side and Wen Qin on the side of the crown prince Li Wei have successively displayed their skills, the generals in the second seat behind Xie An are a little nervous, and even Fei Guo, who doesn't care much about this kind of thing on weekdays, is also a little anxious.

It's funny to say, although the two of them don't know the details of each other, but Fei Guo, who is also one of the six god generals, has always looked at him unpleasantly since he first met Ji Hong.

But then again, with the big man Liang Qiu Wu sitting in the seat next to Xie An, how dare the generals make a mistake? This made Xie An, who was frustrated by Li Xian's anger, not easy to speak.

Probably noticing Xie An's strange expression, Liang Qiuwu shook his head slightly, and said lightly, "What do you care about children's things?" ”

Her voice was neither light nor heavy, not only did many guests in the hall hear it, but even Ji Hong and Wen Qin heard it clearly, no, Wen Qin, who had always wanted to save face, had a somewhat bad complexion, but fortunately, he also knew the martial arts of Liangqiu Dance, so he had to pretend that he didn't hear it.

Compared with Wen Qin, Ji Hong's expression is even more strange, you know, just now he suffered a secret loss in Liangqiu Dance, and now he deliberately performed in the name of adding wine to the guests present, just to test Wen Qin and Liang Qiu Dance's martial arts, and now, Wen Qin's ability he knows a little, but Liang Qiu Dance is not obedient.

Thinking of this, Ji Hong smiled, slowly walked to the seat of Xie An and Liang Qiu Wu with a wine cup, looked at the [wolf slash] sword that Liang Qiu Wu placed on the ground, and said with a smile, "Ji has heard that General Wu is the first fierce general in Jijing, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his martial arts are superb...... By the way, if General Wu doesn't mind, why not take advantage of today's feast to show off his martial arts and let me wait for me to see and learn? - Everyone, are you waiting for it to be good? ”

Maybe it's because Ji Hong's level of agitation is not low, or maybe everyone in the hall is curious about the martial arts of Liangqiu Dance, so when they heard Ji Hong's words, they echoed it.

Hey, this guy is going to be unlucky!

Secretly glancing at Liang Qiuwu's face beside him, Xie Anxin smiled.

Sure enough, while Xie Anxin secretly sneered, Liang Qiuwu glanced at Ji Hong and said coldly, "In this way, I will disappoint you!" - General Ben has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, but it's not to help you and others to promote wine! ”

Ji Hong frowned slightly, and said deliberately, "Why is General Wu so unhappy? ——It is said that the wolf beheaded in the hands of General Wu is a treasure knife cast by Wairong in Northern Xinjiang, destroying stones and breaking gold...... Ask me to see it! ”

Under the bated breath of all the guests in the hall, Liang Qiuwu slowly stood up, raised the [Wolf Slash] Treasure Knife with his left hand, looked at Ji Hong and said lightly, "Since this knife was cast, in order to add to its ferocity, it has been nourished with human blood...... Since the general captured this knife and returned to Jijing, it has not been used several times for several years, and once the knife is unsheathed, if there is no blood, it will never be returned...... Do you really want to see it? With her words, a terrifying murderous aura gradually spread throughout her body, gradually filling the entire hall, making all the guests tremble.

Even Ji Hong's heart was beating wildly, looking at Liang Qiu Wu, and said with difficulty, "Since it is such a divine soldier, naturally it must not be moved lightly...... Why don't you change your weapon? ”

"No need!" Angry at Li Xian's move to set up a banquet today, Liang Qiuwu said coldly, "General Ben's martial arts are for killing the enemy on the battlefield, not for helping you wait for wine!" - There are few who can survive after the general draws his sword! Speaking of this, she sat back in the seat and didn't look at Ji Hong again.

Look......

Glancing at Ji Hong's embarrassed expression, Xie An gloated, but secretly laughed.

I'm afraid that only Xie An, who is the husband of Liangqiu Dance, knows that martial arts are also one of the [forbidden words] of Liangqiu Dance, not that it can't be mentioned, it's just that Liangqiu Dance can't get used to some people dancing knives and guns during the banquet, in her opinion, martial arts should be used on the battlefield to kill the enemy, protect the family and defend the country, and it seems to help the wine to rejoice, this kind of thing is simply unreasonable!

And just when the guests in the hall felt inexplicably embarrassed because of the Liangqiu dance, the eldest grandson Xiangyu slowly walked out with the support of the maid Xiao Tao.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the hall froze, and countless pairs of eyes, including Xie An, looked intently at the fairy-like woman.

In an instant, the eyes of all the guests in the hall fell on Xie An and the eighth prince Li Xian......
