Xu Bao picked up his beloved and walked towards the carriage prepared outside the mansion.

Xu Bao and Ji Lan got into the carriage and drove towards the palace, on the way, Xu Bao showed a relaxed smile and said, "What do you say your sovereign brother will reward me?" Is it a beauty? ”

Ji Lan saw her beloved who was showing a relaxed smile in front of her, and she also covered her lips and smiled: "You are stinky and beautiful!" I think the monarch's brother rewarded a lot of beauties, so let you die in the den of beauties. ”

Xu Bao asked with a smile: "Does Lan'er just want her husband to have so many beautiful women?" ”

At this time, Ji Lan showed a trace of worry, and said tenderly: "Of course I want my husband to love myself forever, but the world is not like this, if my husband meets a woman who is better than Lan'er and likes it, I won't be angry." ”

Xu Bao showed a hint of displeasure and said: "Don't say that, Lan'er will always be the most important thing in my heart." I wouldn't like any more women. ”

Ran Ji Lan interrupted her beloved's words loudly, "Husband, the world is not something that people can control, and if her husband achieves a meritorious career, it is impossible to have Lan'er alone." ”

At this moment, Xu Bao was very angry, and reprimanded: "Lan'er, you are not allowed to say such things in the future, since I have a world, naturally the world is my final say." ”

After Ji Lan heard Xu Bao's words, she was also moved in her heart, but Ji Lan knew in her heart that the man in the world who had a lot of achievements did not have three wives and four concubines. Ji Lan looked at Xu Bao and responded with a tender smile: "Hmm! I know. ”

After a while, the carriage came to the palace city, and stopped outside the inner palace gate, only to see the servant next to the monarch waiting at the palace gate, and when he saw the carriage of Mrs. Xu coming, he hurriedly greeted it.

After Xu Bao walked out of the horse, he gently helped his beloved to get out of the carriage.

The servant walked up to Xu Bao and bowed, and said in a loud voice: "Lord Taifu, the monarch has been waiting in the hall for a long time. ”

Xu Bao pondered: "May I ask why the monarch suddenly wants to summon me above the main hall now, is there something big happening?" ”

This servant is also a smart person, and he approached Xu Bao and whispered: "This time, I thought that the war was peaceful, and the monarch also wanted to reward you in a few days, but suddenly the Jin Kingdom sent an invitation to the Wei Kingdom. This time it was a headache for the monarch, and this time he summoned Lord Taifu to the main hall and other officials to discuss how to deal with the invitation of the Jin Kingdom. ”

"Oh! There was such a thing, and the lord of the Jin Kingdom actually sent out an invitation to the banquet. ”

The servant said loudly: "Lord Taifu, let's go with me to meet the monarch first!" ”

"Good! Lead the way! ”

The servant asked, "Which princess is going to wait in the apse?" ”

After Xu Bao heard the words of the slaughtering servant, he said loudly: "No need, just let Princess Ji Lan go with me to meet the monarch!" ”

When the servant heard Xu Bao in front of him say this, he couldn't say anything, so he led the way in front.

Xu Baohe took Ji Lan's hand and smiled: "It's okay, let's go!" Let's see what kind of banquet the Jin Kingdom invites! ”

The servant took Xu Bao and Ji Lan to the gate of the main hall, and shouted, "Lord Taifu has arrived!" ”

Xu Bao and Ji Lan walked into the hall together, Xu Bao walked into the hall and saw several officials standing on both sides, and knew in his heart that these were also the henchmen of the monarch.

When the monarch on the throne above the main hall saw Xu Bao coming, he hurriedly walked down the throne of the main hall and came to Xu Bao, and said, "It's really not easy to summon you once. ”

Xu Bao said with a smile: "What is the monarch talking about?" The monarch summons me at any time, and I will come at any time. ”

The monarch also smiled and said: "Let Taifu Xu see it, I don't want to summon you, I also understand that you calmed down the war at this time and adjusted the military, but this time I really didn't have any choice, so I came to you and brought all my close officials to discuss this matter together." ”

Xu Bao asked, "Monarch, isn't it just an invitation to the Jin Kingdom?" How can it be difficult for the monarch? ”

The monarch smiled bitterly and said: "If the invitation banquet of the Jin Kingdom was not a big deal in the past, but now you also know that there is also a reason for the Jin Kingdom behind the attack of the Xu State on the Wei Kingdom, but this time the war was calm and returned victoriously, but the Jin Kingdom suddenly sent an invitation to the banquet, doesn't Taifu understand the things inside?" ”

Xu Bao said with a smile: "The invitation that the monarch is worried about this is the Hongmen banquet. ”

"That's right! But it's not just that, because this Jin State Invitation Banquet invited many countries to invite a banquet with the theme of literary talent, but I want to launch an invitation banquet as soon as the war is over, I feel that there is definitely a problem in it? ”

Xu Bao understood the monarch's thoughts, walked up to the monarch and whispered: "The monarch is afraid that after the Jin Kingdom lets the monarch go, he will put himself under house arrest to control the country." ”

Hearing Xu Bao's words, the monarch's face showed a trace of bitterness.

Xu Bao said again: "The monarch actually doesn't have to go, just become sick and recuperate in the country." ”

The monarch said loudly: "I have thought of this a long time ago, but I can't go alone, and I can't go at will to deal with it alone, this time it is a literary banquet, and I must find someone who understands both literature and martial arts." ”

Xu Bao also pondered this matter and asked, "Then there is no one who can take on this responsibility in the country?" ”

The monarch said bitterly: "Alas! In addition to Taifu, patriotic talents themselves are scarce, where to find a person who is proficient in literature and martial arts. ”

Xu Bao frowned and thought in his heart: "This Jin State banquet is not a good thing, it is also equivalent to the Hongmen banquet, since there is no one to defend the country, I can only go for the monarch by myself." ”

Xu Bao said loudly: "The monarch doesn't have to worry, I will deal with this banquet of the Jin Kingdom for the monarch." ”

When the monarch heard Xu Bao's words, he hurriedly said: "No, the patriotic military is still counting on you, if you go and what happens, how will it be good to defend the country in the future." ”

Xu Bao said with a smile: "Don't worry, the monarch, I will naturally arrange everything, and then I will go to the banquet of the Jin Kingdom." ”

The monarch looked at Xu Bao and asked again: "You are really sure, you must be safe, and if you find something wrong, you will leave immediately." ”

"Monarch, don't worry, I naturally have my own way, so you will spread that you are sick and can't go, and I will replace the banquet, I think now with my big name, the Jin Kingdom would like to let me go, right?"

After listening to Xu Bao's words, the monarch was still worried in his heart, and asked, "Since you know that the Jin Kingdom is eager to let you go, do you still have to go?" ”

"Sovereign, have you ever heard a sentence about not entering the tiger's den to get a tiger? I'm going to capture this tiger this time. So the monarch, you are optimistic about defending the country, and wait for me to come back. ”

The monarch saw that Xu Bao insisted on going, and Ji Lan also heard that this Jin State banquet might be dangerous, but his beloved still had to go for his sovereign brother, and he felt very guilty and worried, but in this hall, Ji Lan couldn't persuade him in front of his sovereign brother.

Xu Bao asked, "When will the banquet of the Jin Kingdom start?" ”

The monarch said, "The end of the next month is about to begin, so if you want to go, you must be there at the end of this month." ”

Xu Bao thought about it in his heart, and it was not bad.

After Xu Bao discussed the issue of the banquet of the Jin State with the monarch, he and Ji Lan retreated.
