381 Before the Banquet Commenced
Qi Zhifeng came with Lord Qi, followed by a few ministers who were good friends with the Qi family, settled his father, greeted his father's colleagues, and ran over happily. Seeing that the seat of the Xia Kingdom Mission was adjacent to the Duan clan, he pursed his lips in disgust, and although he was a little reluctant, he still puffed out his cheeks and sat down.
"May I ask this envoy, why is he looking at this son with such eyes? Was it attracted by the handsomeness of this son, and developed a heart of admiration? Qi Zhifeng patted Jin Jing's arm, "This son has a master, it's a pity that I can't respond to your feelings, you better like other people!" ”
"It's only been a long time, and you've bumped into something unclean? Or did you meet someone who was not good? Shen Cha and Jin Jing stood up, saluted Master Qi back, and after sitting down, they dragged Qi Zhifeng's carefully combed pigtails, "Where did you learn this messy word?" If you are heard by others, are you not afraid that people will laugh and lose your big teeth? ”
"What about what others hear? I am the most handsome and talented son in Linhuang Mansion, this is not just a casual talk or a self-proclaimed thing, but all the ladies in the entire Linhuang Mansion are selected, for two years, I am the first. Qi Zhifeng shook his head proudly, and showed an almost provocative smile towards Duan Yuxuan, who had been looking at him with a smile all along, "Please note, it's all the nobles, not only the nobles of the high gate, but also the common people are involved." I deserve it, and I'm much better than those who shout at me. ”
"Yes, yes, yes, you're the best, you're the best!" Jin Jing glanced at the female officials behind her who couldn't hold back and didn't laugh, and sighed softly, "This handsome son, let's drink a ginger soup first!" ”
"Brother Xiaojing!" Qi Gongzi, who was highly sought after by the girls of the entire Linhuang Mansion, heard Jin Jing's words, and instantly changed from triumphant to pitiful, and looked at the person sitting next to him with tears in his eyes, "Can you not drink?" Looks like I've drunk several bowls of this stuff today! He snapped his fingers and began to count, "When I got up in the morning, I was poured a bowl by Sister Xiaocha, and when I went home in the afternoon, I was poured a bowl by my mother, and I drank another bowl after I woke up. ”
"Look at it, other girls are looking at you, you are the most handsome son in people's minds, don't let people down, don't you?" Putting the soup bowl into Qi Zhifeng's hand, Jin Jing raised her eyebrows, "Please!" ”
Shen Cha and Duan Yuxuan sat on both sides of these two people, looking at these two people with the posture of watching a play the whole time, seeing Qi Zhifeng forced by Jin Jing's might, pinching his nose and pouring down a bowl of ginger soup, the two of them laughed at the same time.
"Sister Xiaocha, how can you do this?" Qi Zhifeng wiped the soup stains on his mouth, pouted and said, "If you don't help me speak, forget it, why do you still watch my jokes?" It's so unkind! ”
"I didn't see your jokes, I just thought you were so cute, that's why I laughed." Shen Cha glanced at Mei Zhu and asked her to hand Qi Zhifeng a bag of candied fruit, "You are familiar with my wine, and you also know his character, although he is also very lively, but it is impossible for him to be like you, from time to time to be coquettish, tricky, and amuse." It just so happens that with you, I don't have to force him. ”
"Well, I've always felt that Xiaojiu's personality is a little bit dull, and I'm ...... Anan said that being overly lively complements Xiaojiu's personality, so he can become good friends. After eating a few candied fruits and suppressing the spicy taste in his mouth, Qi Zhifeng turned sideways and looked at Duan Yuxuan seriously, although he was very reluctant to talk to him, but the stakes were very high, and he still had to put aside his prejudices. You...... What you said before, but it's true? Didn't you fool us? ”
Qi Gongzi laughed, how could such a big thing be fake? This is not only about the lives of more than 100 people in the Hou Mansion, as well as the fate of our colleagues who stand with us, but also about the future of the Duan family. A wry smile appeared on Duan Yuxuan's face, "I can swear that if there is any intention to deceive, I will suffer from ten thousand arrows piercing my heart." ”
"Well, since you are so sincere, then Ben Gongzi will be a microphone. It's just that there is one point, this son wants to say it in advance. Qi Zhifeng's expression was very serious, "It is absolutely impossible for us to send troops." ”
"That's what we're asking for, too." Jin Jing nodded approvingly, "We can refuse King Duan's request for help, but if you want us to send reinforcements, you will not be able to obey." If Duan Gongzi can't accept it, we won't be able to talk about it. ”
"The three of you are too worried, who said that you have to dance a knife and a gun to get him down?" Duan Yuxuan pointed to his head, "It's the same with here." ”
"We are military generals, and we naturally think about those things that dance with knives and guns, and where we don't speak well, please ask Haihan, the second son of Duan." Shen Cha beckoned to Qi Zhifeng, "It's rare for me to be an envoy and recognize people, so as not to run into people when I meet them in the future, people recognize me, but I don't know people, isn't this rude!" ”
"Okay!"
Qi Zhifeng gave Duan Yuxuan a roll of his eyes, exchanged places with Jin Jing, and began to introduce Shen Cha to the nobles and important ministers of the Liao Kingdom who were sitting opposite. In addition to introducing their names, official positions, and families to which they belong, it also highlights which is their own people, which is the opposite, and which one can be won over. Sensei looks like he has nothing to do all day, and he can actually say the Tao about the origin and background of these people, and it is obvious that he has worked weekdays.
Shen Cha held his cheeks, listened to his introduction very seriously and attentively, and refilled his tea bowl from time to time, so as not to talk too much and hurt his throat.
When Xiao Fengqi appeared in the hall with a few Xiao family children, everyone's good mood disappeared all of a sudden.
The so-called enemies are very red when they meet, and the Xiao family is now not only the enemies of the Yelu family and the Qi family, but after the assassination attempt, they successfully ranked first on the Shen Cha blacklist.
"It's unlucky!" Qi Zhifeng snorted heavily, "Why didn't Xiao Fengqi, that bastard suddenly get sick, I really hope they won't be able to come tonight!" He clenched his fists, "If it weren't for the wrong occasion, I really want to beat them up!" But......" he tugged at the corners of his mouth towards Jin Jing, who was holding his shoulder, "Brother Xiaojing, don't worry, I won't act impulsively." ”
"It's good that you know, if you make trouble, it's the Yelu family and the Qi family who will be disgraced. If the Xiao family takes the initiative to provoke, others will say that they are not willing to fail and will be ridiculed by the world. It was not Jin Jing who spoke, but Duan Yuxuan, who was not treated by Qi Zhifeng, "The so-called Wenchen and military generals are essentially no different, it is not that military generals are born with brute force and cannot use their brains, but in many cases, the wisdom of military generals is far better than that of the so-called Wenchen." He looked at Shen Cha, "General Shen is a victorious general that the generals are very envious of, naturally he didn't just use force to achieve this achievement, General Shen's intelligence and strategy are higher than most civil and military forces, why bother to be arrogant!" If what I said before was inappropriate and offended General Shen, I am willing to apologize to the general. ”
"Second Prince Duan said he laughed!" Shen Cha glanced at Duan Yuxuan lightly and patted Qi Zhifeng's arm, "Don't stare at them anymore, if you look at them again, Xiao Gongzi will probably think that you have something to tell him, and he will come over." You don't want to cause some upset before the banquet, do you? ”
"That's it, that's it, everyone is here to be happy tonight, don't let those people ruin our own mood." Jin Jing tugged Qi Zhifeng's pigtails, saw that he smiled very reluctantly, turned his head sideways and glanced at the Tubo envoy who had just entered the door, and then looked at Duan Yuxuan beside him, "Second son, this Tubo envoy lives in the same post house with you?" ”
"It's not, if you talk about my son's resentment against the generals, the Tibetan envoys are the real culprits." Duan Yuxuan waved his hand towards Shen Cha, "I'm really not targeting General Shen, it's just ...... Hey, it's hard to put into words! ”
"Did the Tubo people provoke the second son of Duan?" Seeing that Duan Yuxuan's appearance didn't look like a fake, Shen Cha felt curious, "Tubo and Duan's family, there shouldn't be too much intersection, right?" If it weren't for this visit, he wouldn't have been able to deal with each other once in decades, why was Duan Ergongzi's resentment so deep, and even all the generals were implicated? ”
"If you want to blame, you can only blame the Tubo people for being too domineering, we live in the same post house with them, and we are going crazy by them!"
