Zhao Palace is in the center of Handan City, surrounded by broken city walls, deep and wide city rivers, like a city in the city.

The dinner was held in the auspicious hall of the palace.

King Zhao's royal seat was set up in the north of the hall opposite the main gate, and forty seats were set on each side of each side.

The seats are divided into two rows, each seat can seat 10 people, the front seat is the royal ministers, and the back seat is the family members and special status of the samurai general.

The closer you are to King Zhao's banquet, the more expensive your status is. The Wu family is located in the third seat on the left, which shows the importance of the Wu family to the Zhao State.

After all the guests entered the hall, they sat in their own banquets, not daring to make noise, and the atmosphere was tense and serious.

When Wu Shilu, Xia Yunmo, Wu Jia and others entered the scene, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Some people were attracted by Wu Tingfang's otherworldly beauty, and more people cast curious glances at Xia Yunmo.

Xia Yunmo's face was like jade, and he stood with a long body. He is dressed in white, which sets off a chic and elegant feeling, which makes people feel broken.

Of course, more people are puzzled, because Xia Yunmo is a pampered son, not a swordsman who can defeat Lian Jin.

For most people, the samurai of this era are basically strong and strong.

People like Xia Yunmo are more of strategists and the like.

Wu sat in front of him, Xia Yunmo and Wu Tingfang sat in the back row, the two of them wanted ears, Xia Yunmo said a few jokes from time to time, which made Wu Tingfang laugh again and again, and also made some of the sons and brothers present secretly grit their teeth.

But I have to admit that these two people are both good-looking and extremely compatible.

Sitting opposite the Wu clan was the head of the Guo family, Guo Zong.

The Guo family operates an iron-smelting industry, and most of the iron tools in Zhao are controlled by the Guo family.

The Wu family and the Guo family respectively controlled the animal husbandry and iron smelting of the Zhao State, and they were both rich and rival countries.

In the same way, they can't look at each other.

Guo Zong sat opposite the Wu family and said with a smile: "Is this the warrior Xia Yunmo who defeated Lian Jin?" Sure enough, his appearance is very good, but his face is too pale, so he shouldn't have gone out to mess around again last night. ”

This Guo Zong is of medium stature, with a white face and no beard, and he speaks with a smile on his face, but those who know him know that he is a character with a knife in his smile.

Wu Shi'an said: "You don't need to worry, but I heard that the Guo family will also send people to fight for the Imperial Swordsman, I don't know if it's true or not." ”

Guo Zong smiled: "This is purely a rumor, but I know that if you Wu family want to sit in this position, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome." ””

The two fought with each other, but it made the serious party a little lively.

After a while, a middle-aged man with a sword scar from the root of the ear to the corner of his mouth on his left cheek and a beautiful lady walked over.

Both of them seemed to have quite good identities, and the presence of several samurai arrived in a crowd, and the ministers hurriedly greeted and saluted them, showing their special status.

The man greeted everyone from time to time, he was tall and straight, his shoulders were broad, and the scars on his face did not make him an ugly man, but also added to his masculine charm.

As for the girl, the grade is not more than twenty-five years old, which is the golden age of women. Her skin is delicate, white and red, and she is a rare beauty.

The most intoxicating thing is the lazy state that inadvertently exudes, and it is a little more charming than other young girls.

Wu Tingfang whispered in Xia Yunmo's ear and introduced the two to Xia Yunmei.

One of these two people is Zhao Mu, the Marquis of Julu, and the other is the sister of King Zhao, Mrs. Ya Zhao Ya.

In this Handan, the person who really controls the power is naturally the current King Zhao.

Although King Zhao has great power, there is another person who can influence and even manipulate King Zhao, and this person is Zhao Mu, the Marquis of Julu.

As for the reason, it is because Zhao Mu is King Zhao's man.

That's right, Zhao Mu is the man of King Zhao today.

Today, King Zhao likes male colors, famous all over the world, according to rumors in the palace, whenever King Zhao sees this person, he has to wear women's clothes.

In addition, it is reported that Lian Jin has secretly colluded with Zhao Mu, and Xia Yunmo wants to become a swordsman in front of the Imperial Palace, so Zhao Mu may have to make an obstacle from it.

As for Mrs. Ya, she is the sister of King Zhao, and her husband Zhao Kuo died in the battle of Changping and became a widow.

Her life became debauched, and there were many faces, that is, Lian Jin, who died under Xia Yunmo, was also one of her faces.

Zhao Mu turned his head at this time and said with a smile on his face: "I don't know which one is Xia Yunmo Xia Warrior." ”

Xia Yunmo arched his hand slightly, and said with a smile: "It's Xia Yunmo below." ”

Hearing the conversation between the two, the rest of the people also turned their eyes to it.

When Mrs. Naya saw Xia Yunmo, her beautiful eyes also lit up.

Zhao Mu said: "It's the red tasseled boy Lian Jin you defeated." ”

Xia Yunmo said: "It's exactly below." ”

Zhao Muhaha said with a smile: "It's really a hero out of a teenager." Immediately afterwards, he turned his head slightly and said to Wu's ankle: "If Boss Wu agrees, Benhou wants to invite Xia Yunmo to sit at my table." ”

Everyone was stunned, Zhao Mu said this, wouldn't it be open to the Wu clan and want to bring Xia Yunmo under his banner.

Wu Shi's ankle was secretly angry, but he smiled on the surface: "If Xia Yunmo is happy, how can the old man disagree." ”

Now the decision was put in the hands of Xia Yunmo.

Without waiting for Xia Yunmo to speak, Zhao Mu smiled and said: "Xia Yunmo, if you are willing to come to me, when the banquet is over, you will become a swordsman in front of the palace, and it just so happens that there is a good sword in my mansion that can be given to you." ”

Zhao Mu's words were very vague, but the people present were all old foxes, so they had already heard the meaning of Zhao Mu's words.

If Xia Yunmo is willing to go to his seat, he will naturally help Xia Yunmo become a swordsman in front of the palace, with glory and wealth, and he will enjoy inexhaustible.

And Xia Yunmo was unwilling, so how could he let Xia Yunmo get his wish.

Xia Yunmo said with a smile: "Thank you Lord Hou for your appreciation, but now that the banquet is about to start, I won't bother Master Hou." ”

Everyone was silent, they naturally thought that Xia Yunmo would refuse, but they didn't expect him to refuse without even the slightest consideration, so they directly refused.

At the same time, I couldn't help but sigh secretly, I was still young in the end. Otherwise, even if you don't want to sit down, you shouldn't refuse so quickly, which is really a loss of face for Juluhou.

Juluhou's face remained unchanged, still with a smile, but his eyes were a little cold, and he said in a loud voice: "Okay, good." ”

Before he could say much, he heard a "dang" sound, which was the bell ringing, reminding everyone to take their seats.

When everyone sat down, there was another "dang" sound.

The sound of silk and bamboo came, and the ceremonial band walked lightly, playing and blowing, leading in, and then standing on both sides and continuing to play.

Embraced by the concubines, King Xiaocheng, the monarch of Zhao who was thirty years old, walked into the palace proudly.
