Verse 21 "Well, the victory has been decided, so let's stop." When Zhu Huai saw it, he immediately shouted loudly and stopped the fight. Then he turned his head and said loudly outside the courtyard: "Old Hu, quickly call the military doctor, this warrior of the Northern Army is injured." Steward Hu agreed outside, and then led two people who looked like military doctors in. Helping the wounded warrior of the Northern Expeditionary Army, he went down.

Wu Ming couldn't help but be stunned, this military doctor seemed to come a little faster, could it be that Zhu Huai had long expected that there would be bloodshed tonight? He thought, but his heart became more and more uneasy.

Xiao Fei stayed in place, lowered his head, and muttered softly, not knowing what he was saying. The other two warriors of the Northern Expeditionary Army also looked sluggish, and they still seemed to be unable to accept the fact of defeat. Everyone in the courtyard was dumbfounded, obviously not understanding why the Northern Expeditionary Army, which seemed to be full of offensive just now, was defeated in the end. Zhu Xiaolong jumped up and said loudly: "Okay, good kung fu, such a powerful combined attack array, it is worthy of being brought out by the master." ”

He said very loudly, as if he was afraid that others would not know, and Wu Ming was speechless for a while. Sure enough, many people turned their heads and swept between Wu Ming and Zhu Huai, with thoughtful eyes in their eyes. However, Wu Ming's face was hot, if you really want to talk about it, this time Yang Xiong is the first credit, and it has nothing to do with his dime.

At this time, Zhu Huai had already turned back, sat down and said with a smile: "The soldiers of the northern camp are really fierce dragons and tigers, and there are few teams in the world that can compare." "This is said very casually, if in peacetime, it is naturally complimenting the Northern Army, but at this time, it will all change its taste, which means that no matter how strong the forward battalion of your Northern Army is, compared with the Guards Battalion, it is still a little lacking. This Guards Battalion is one of those teams that are "comparable".

Li Zhong's face turned white and red, red and white, and finally turned eggplant purple, and he said angrily: "No, this has to be done again, the rule is that all of them are out of the circle to be considered negative, you are only out of the circle now, and there are three people, you must be re-compared, and all of them can be counted." ”

Although he said it a little tricky, he was not completely ignorant. Wu Ming frowned, at this moment, Xiao Fei came back to his senses, walked forward with two other soldiers, wiped the sweat on his forehead, clasped his fists and saluted Li Zhong and said: "Childe, the guard battalion is indeed the first battalion of warriors, and the small ones are not opponents." ”

He said this very loudly, and Wu Ming had a good impression of him. Li Zhong snorted, don't look over it and ignore him. Now that Xiao Fei has admitted defeat, if he continues to rub it off, it will naturally be boring in vain.

Zhu Huai stood up, raised his glass to invite, and said, "Come, let's have a toast to the wonderful program provided by Xiaonu and Master Wu just now." In the words, Li Zhong and the Northern Army were leaked, as if they had forgotten. Everyone below cheered. Wu Mingda was stunned, Zhu Huai was simply obedient to Li Zhong a few days ago, how could he get to today, as if he was deliberately provoking the other party.

In the cheers, I saw Li Zhong's face change greatly, he stood up in a hurry, walked to Lin Yinghuan's ear, and said a few words in a low voice. Lin Yinghuan's face suddenly became very strange, surprise, embarrassment, anger and other expressions were intertwined, and he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to argue, but finally nodded.

When the cheers stopped, Lin Yinghuan stood up, straightened his clothes, and said to Zhu Huai: "Zhu Governor, the lower officials came this time, not for anything else, but I heard that the former crown princess, Jinxian Zhuang Niangniang was stranded in Nanning, and was ordered by the imperial court to welcome Niangniang back to Kyoto as soon as possible, so as to settle the country." ”

When they saw him stand up, they had already stopped making noise. His voice wasn't loud, but it was audible. These words are tantamount to pouring a scoop of cold water into the boiling oil, and there was a sudden "boom" below, and the pot had exploded. Although some people vaguely guessed that this Lin Yinghuan's coming to Nanning this time might be related to Xianzhuang Niangniang, they didn't expect that the other party would come so directly.

Wu Ming's heart was shocked, but he immediately understood. This time, the imperial court sent Lin Yinghuan to the south, I am afraid that most of its purpose was to take Tao Yu back. Zhu Huai has been very active recently, and his biggest capital is Tao Yu and the little genius in his belly. Once Tao Yu is really taken back, Zhu Huai will become a rootless Ping, and it is not for Li Tie to knead it at will. Moreover, even if Tao Yu didn't go back, he would send such an innocuous Ministry of Rites Shangshu to the south and bring the words first. said that he did his best, once there was a real civil war, at least he didn't have to memorize the infamy that this thousand people were referring to.

Thinking of this, Wu Ming only felt that his back was cold, Li Tie would save the enemy with this hand, and he was in the middle of wishing Huai to die. This "Li shameless" can be mixed to such an extent, how can it be a fuel-efficient lamp. It is said that the battle for temples and halls is especially better than the battlefield. This time, I realized it deeply.

It's just that I can think of it, how can I be unprepared for the nature of Zhu Huai Jiang Gui? And today he has repeatedly provoked Li Zhong, and his purpose is clearly revealed. Could it be that he just asked Li Zhong to let Lin Yinghuan shake out the purpose of this trip at the banquet? That's not to make the entire five provinces of Jiangnan feel like a mess, it's even more self-inflicted.

He sat in his seat, and for a moment his mind was in turmoil. couldn't help but look up at Zhu Huai opposite, Zhu Huai was sitting not far away, as far as his eye could see, but the other party's face was still motionless. After everyone stopped arguing for a while, he stood up and said slowly: "Niangniang has the blood of the heavenly family, golden branches and jade leaves, and is close to giving birth. As he spoke, he clapped his palms and said loudly: "Come on, please Niangniang." ”

As soon as Zhu Huai finished speaking, he heard a eunuch outside the courtyard shouting in a sharp voice: "Xianzhuang Niangniang has arrived." Immediately after, two guards carried a bright yellow sedan chair and slowly walked in from the outside. The bright yellow color represents the royal family. Now in the entire five provinces of Jiangnan, who is qualified to use this color, except Tao Yu?

There was a sudden chaos in the courtyard, and everyone got up from their seats, then knelt on the ground, and said, "Mother is well." Tao Yu's cold voice came out of the sedan chair and sprinkled the audience: "Everyone, get up." ”

Guards battalion warriors, seeing members of the royal family, have the right not to kneel. Wu Ming is now the commander, and he is naturally among them, but he doesn't want to be big, so he quickly stood up, bowed his head, and stood respectfully to the side, but he was thinking in his heart: "Tao Yu came so quickly, obviously it was premeditated, it seems that Li Zhong's hand came out, but he just fell into Zhu Huai's grasp."

Sure enough, Tao Yu waited for everyone to stand firmly, and then said word by word: "Now that the north is not peaceful, this palace does not want to return to Kyoto for the time being, and after the birth of the little emperor, he will do what he thinks." ”

It was very quiet in the courtyard, and after a long time, there was a tidal wave of cheers in the courtyard. Some old men even knelt down, with tears in their eyes, and said loudly: "Niangniang is wise, Niangniang has no borders." Wu Ming wanted to laugh a little, Tao Yu made this move, to be honest, Shengsheng pushed the Eastern Han Dynasty to the brink of civil war, he really couldn't see where the word "wise" began.

Perhaps, if anyone looks at the problem from a different angle, they will get different answers. There are a few people in this world who can maintain this state of detachment. Even the wine priest who was far away in the suburbs of Kyoto chose to remain silent in the face of Nanban's independence. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head, only to feel even more dazed.

Li Zhong's face was pale, he stood up "he", gritted his teeth and said: "As the saying goes, 'different ways do not conspire with each other'. I wish the attitude of the governor and the mother, I remember. So I went back to the north and told my father about it. After speaking, he glanced at Zhu Huai and the others, sneered, led a group of family guards, and walked away. Leaving a Lin Yinghuan, sitting in place, surrounded by more than a dozen warriors, embarrassed.

The banquet was held to such an extent, and the banquet at the back was completely tasteless. Fortunately, after Li Zhong left, Zhu Huai walked to Lin Yinghuan's side, and the two drank a few glasses to each other. made the aura of the banquet slightly eased.

The banquet will not end until sunset. Towards the end, Zhu Xiaolong frequently reminded: "Master, don't forget, there will be a great gift for apprenticeship in a while." After seeing that Wu Ming was a little absent-minded. He simply sat next to Wu Ming, Wu Ming couldn't, so he had to let Yang Xiong take a group of soldiers from the Guards Battalion to go first. They smiled and laughed, and in Tian Hong's whistle, they were taken by Yang Xiong and went with a smile.

The fighters were all a little drunk today, and with the fact that they won the competition, they were naturally in a good mood. Wu Ming didn't want to blame them.

Most of the people have been dispersed, Lin Yinghuan, under the escort of a group of warriors, walked over, he hugged Wu Ming and said: "Lord Wu, I will say goodbye first, today is clear, it should be a good day to enjoy the moon, push the window and look at the moon, it has its own taste." ”

At this time, the courtyard was already lit with red candles, and he stared at Wu Ming, but there were many inexplicable meanings in his eyes. Wu Ming remembered the small note he picked up, and he also hugged his fists, and said with a slight smile: "Master Lin, don't worry, the kid will save it, and he will definitely live up to such a beautiful day." ”

By the time everyone had dispersed, it was almost dawn, and the whole courtyard was in shambles, except for some subordinates who were cleaning up the tables and chairs. Wu Ming stood under the eaves, silently thinking about his thoughts. Zhu Xiaolong told him to go into the house to rest, but Wu Mingli ignored him, and he didn't want to enter the house alone, so he had to stand beside Wu Ming helplessly, accompanying the other party in a daze.

At this time, Zhu Huai, accompanied by Steward Hu, came out of the night. wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said angrily to Zhu Xiaolong: "Little rabbit cub, tell you to treat your master well, are you greeting you like this?" ”

Zhu Xiaolong said: "I called it, but ......" He was very aggrieved in his voice, but it was not easy to say anything strange to Wu Ming, he just glanced at Wu Ming, his face was flushed, and he didn't speak.
