Chapter 367: Wine Meets Confidant

After night falls, there is a scene of singing and dancing in Jinling Wangxiang Tower.

Originally, Wangxiang Tower was one of the largest restaurants in Jinling, famous for its three-storey view of the Qinhuai River. Today, however, there are a few special guests.

These guests wrapped up the entire Mochizuki Tower, and the decoration was new, and the decoration was magnificent, as if it was as gorgeous and colorful as an imperial palace.

After nightfall, Wangxiang Tower also began to perform songs and dances, ordinary people are on the street or by the Qinhuai River, they can also see the gorgeous colors on the third floor of Wangxiang Tower.

Among the guests in Wangxiang Tower, many of them are escorts, and the real main characters are two young people. One was Xiao Ling, the Xiaohui king of the Qi Dynasty, while the other was Sima Yi, who was imprisoned in Jinling City.

Between the staggered and staggered, the wine is in full swing. A group of people drank in front of the wine glasses, as if they were happy, and sometimes some people got up and chanted a few words, which could also attract a lot of applause.

"Brother Sima, you said that this Wangxiang Tower can overlook Qinhuai, this Qinhuai scenery is the most prosperous in Jinling, I don't know if Brother Sima has personally experienced it?"

Xiao Ling drank a few more glasses, and then she was a little drunk, and she occasionally spoke upside down, also in order to have nothing to say.

Sima Yi took the wine glass, glanced out the window, and said, "This vulgar scene, don't look at it." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Ling was a little surprised and asked, "Then what kind of scenery does Brother Sima like?" Is it the steep mountains and rivers, or the ......?"

Sima Yu shook his hand and said: "What kind of scenery, people are the most comfortable, there is nothing more than one person and one sword walking the rivers and lakes, happy and revenge." How happy is it to get rid of injustice? Kill one person in ten steps, and don't stay for a thousand miles. ”

"It's a good sentence to kill a person in ten steps, and you won't stay for a thousand miles. But...... Is this a little too bloody? We kill others, pigs and sheep, I heard that there are camels in the desert, it is better than killing people. Xiao Ling was not interested in fighting and killing, but when he heard that Sima Yu said that it was very heroic, he also sighed, but he still couldn't change his nature after all.

Sima Yi shook his head with a smile and said, "That's not happiness. ”

Xiao Ling nodded slightly. I probably understood Sima Yi's desire for freedom. I was relieved.

The banquet continued, and on the second watch, the lively street market outside gradually became silent, but the singing and dancing performance upstairs still had no intention of ending.

But at this time. Several people dressed in guard uniforms hurried to the bottom of Wangxiang's building. After a brief conversation with the guards at the door. These men came upstairs.

"Childe, there are people outside asking to see you." Xiao Ling's personal guards came up to say goodbye.

"Who? I didn't see my son drinking and having fun, so let them go to the house. Wait until I get back...... I'll see them again. Ha ha. Brother Sima, this wine ...... Let's have another drink......"

Xiao Ling was already drunk, and he originally asked himself if he had a good amount of alcohol, but in front of Sima Yi, it seemed that the amount of alcohol was very shallow, which made him feel very frustrated.

"Li Gongzi, you are drunk." Sima Yi looked out the window and said with an absent-minded look.

"Who said I was drunk? Can I drink again...... Brother Sima, why do you drink so well? In this world, I'm afraid...... There's no one to drink better than you......"

Sima Yi sighed slightly: "There is a person who is not drunk in a thousand cups, it is not an exaggeration, he seems to be really not drunk." No amount of alcohol is enough. ”

"And such people? Then you must meet when you have the opportunity...... Ha, it must be Brother Sima, you are open-mouthed, how can there be anyone in the world who is not drunk? ”

Xiao Ling felt happy in her heart, and felt that when she found a confidant, she naturally drank a little more freely. It doesn't hurt to drink too much, for him, he can do nothing every day, and naturally he has money, money, and power. Enjoying life to the fullest is also his profession.

Sima smiled and didn't speak.

At this time, Xiao Ling's attendants had already stepped forward to help him, because Xiao Ling was already staggering and couldn't stand on his feet at this time.

"It's someone sent by Xie Xiang." The attendant spoke.

"Who?" When Xiao Ling heard "Xie Xiang", he suddenly became a spirit, looked at the wine glass in his hand, smiled slightly, and then looked at his entourage and said, "Then let people come up." ”

The attendant said, "But the prince ......"

The attendant said, glanced at Sima Yi, it seemed that Sima Yi was present, and it would be very inconvenient for someone to talk.

"It doesn't matter." Xiao Ling said, "Just let people come up, my son is going to accompany Brother Sima to drink until dawn today, and he wants to do that...... Where to wake up tonight, the willow shore is dawning and the moon is waning...... Haha......"

The attendant first received the order, and in a short time the people had already gone down, and soon a few people came up with the attendant. They were all envoys sent by Xie Rumo, the minister of Southern Qi.

"See the little prince......" As soon as the messenger came up, he knelt down on one knee and saluted. This is the most basic etiquette in Southern Qi, because King Xiaohui, as a prince, has a very respected status in Southern Qi.

Xiao Ling glanced at Sima Yi and found that Sima Yu was not surprised on his face. He has been concealing his identity and claiming that his surname is Li, but in fact, Sima Yi has long been aware of his identity as King Hui, but he has not exposed it.

"What are you looking for?" Xiao Ling frowned slightly, probably thinking that these people had broken their identities and were very unacquainted.

With Xiao Ling's questioning, the escorts and dancers who were originally present all stopped to look at this side. Xiao Ling's attendant hurriedly stepped forward and motioned for people to go to the second floor to wait first, and these talents were scattered to the second floor. The attendant turned to look at Sima Qian, Sima Yi sat upright as usual, as if he had no intention of knowing and knowing, and Xiao Ling had made it clear that he would not avoid Sima Yu, so as an attendant, he didn't dare to ask Sima Yu to go downstairs.

"Go back to the little prince, Xie Xiang sent me to pass on the little prince and go to the palace to ......"

"What?" Xiao Ling was a little angry and said, "I'm drinking happily here, you let me enter the palace?" Wait, who is Xie Xiang? Does he live in the palace? Why didn't my imperial sister-in-law send someone to invite you? ”

"This ...... Xie Xiang is also in the palace now, and it is the north...... Something big happens......"

"North? Which? Xiao Ling was a little drunk, his brain was a little unclear, and he couldn't think that the matter might be related to the Wei Dynasty in the north.

"This ...... We can't just talk nonsense outside......" to let Sima Yi know that Sima Yi was present, and Xie Rumo was not prepared to let them hide King Xiaohui, but now they didn't dare to speak.

"Say!" Xiao Ling shouted.

"Yes, back to the little prince, there was a war in the north, Jiangdu soldiers and horses defeated the Luoyang army in the south of the Huai River, and now they are gaining momentum to the north, the queen mother and Xie Xiang ordered me to come and invite the prince to enter the palace, discuss the military aircraft, and ask the prince to leave quickly."

Xiao Ling reacted slightly, and then frowned and said, "The imperial sister-in-law said a few days ago that the war just started, so fast...... That's it? Hey, really fast? Isn't that a good thing? Our Qi Dynasty and Jiangdu are allies, and the allies win...... Haha, it looks like I'm going to have a celebration banquet, with my sister-in-law...... Well, and Xie Xiang said that my son was troubled, so he wouldn't go to the palace. When discussing military aircraft, it is better to leave it to someone else. ”

The afterlife is difficult. This time, it was Xie Xiang who gave them an order that King Xiaohui must be invited into the palace.

Mainly because although Xiao Hui Wang is now an idler, he has connections under his hands, and many veterans have not asked about political affairs after Xiao Ling's father abdicated. When the internal war of the Wei Dynasty took a heavy turn, no matter who it was, they all wanted to win over the ally of King Xiaohui.

"Why, didn't you hear what Ben Gongzi said? Do you want to repeat it to my son? Xiao Ling glared at the several attendants in front of him and shouted.

"Don't dare." Several of the envoys did not dare to speak more, and bowed and retired.

When everyone went down, Xiao Ling sat down and said to Sima with an indifferent expression, "These people are too ignorant. I never cared about these things, and they didn't know about them, but they always bothered me. ”

Sima Yi smiled and said: "You have the power of soldiers in your hands, and if they don't come, it's not normal." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Ling was slightly surprised, as if she couldn't understand Sima Yu's words. Because of these words, no one has ever told him, "Brother Sima, your words...... What is the meaning? How am I...... Can't get it? ”

"Although Li Gongzi is an idle person and never asks about political affairs, Ling Zun has left you a very rich property, is there a mistake in the next one?"

"This ...... Hehe, Brother Sima, since you know my identity, don't make fun of me, I don't like to talk to people about the rules the most, but everyone talks about the rules when they see me, but you can be unrestrained in front of you, you are not our Qi people after all. If there is anything, you can say it directly, and you don't have to beat around the bush like those people. Xiao Ling said sincerely.

Sima said: "Then I will call you King Hui." ”

"It's better to call Li Gongzi, this title sounds much more pleasant." Xiao Ling said with a smile.

"But what I want to say has nothing to do with Li Gongzi, but with King Hui." Sima said, "If you are just Li Gongzi, then you can ignore everything, then if you are King Hui, then you don't care about the affairs of the Qi Dynasty." ”

"What does that mean?" Xiao Ling was a little puzzled, "I don't care, can they still force me to take care of it?" ”

"King Hui, let me ask you below, why do you have your current identity and throne?" Sima Yu didn't answer, but asked first.

"This ...... Because I'm King Hui, hehe, probably so. ”

"Then who gave you the identity of King Hui?" Sima Yu continued to ask.

This time Xiao Ling was speechless, in his opinion, this question is a bit profound, who gave it to him, it stands to reason that it should have been passed on to him by his father, but he realized that the dead area was not talking about this at all.

"I don't know. Brother Sima, you say. Xiao Ling said.

"It's King Hui, your ancestors, it can be said that it is your father, and it can also be said that it can be said that the ancestors of the Xiao family, they have laid down the country and given it to the descendants of the Xiao family to inherit, but is it wrong to say it below?" Sima excused himself.

"Like, that's what happened."

Sima Yi said again: "Now, the lord of the Qi Dynasty is young, and some people covet the throne. As a descendant of the Xiao family, King Hui said that it had nothing to do with him, which seemed unreasonable. ”

"Brother Sima is saying...... Xie Xiang? Xiao Ling put away his contemptuous tone, he seemed to understand what Sima Yi was talking about. (To be continued......)
