Chapter 73: The Palace Banquet Humiliated IV
By the time Mo Wuxian and Gu Ange came to the Sui'an Hall where the banquet was held, there were already a lot of people sitting inside, and several generals who were familiar with Mo Wuxian hurriedly greeted them, chattering around Mo Wuxian non-stop, and although they were a little uncomfortable when they saw Gu Ange, they still nodded kindly and said hello.
Gu Ange also had a good impression of these straight-haired generals, and also nodded in response with a smile, although a little pale, but still visible, the delicate face and gentle smile made these big bosses blush.
"Lord Wang, I heard that General Pengyu who was stationed abroad is back, and he will also participate in this banquet." One of the generals squeezed in front of Mo Wuxian and said.
Pengyu General Li Pengyu, the concubine of Li Guogong's Mansion, has six in his Chinese New Year's Eve this year, is a man of rigidity and self-use, and has lost more than ten years of battles, but he is a henchman of His Majesty's henchmen, and has always been at odds with the side of the royal mansion.
When Mo Wuxian had an accident, this General Pengyu was still feasting in the mansion, firecrackers and suona sounded, so lively, although it was said that he had accepted a noble concubine Chong Chongxi, but people who knew a little bit of the inside story knew that he was gloating, and now this General Pengyu will obviously make a lot of trouble when he returns to Beijing.
"Isn't he on the frontier? Why did you come back? Mo Wuxian raised an eyebrow, obviously not taking him seriously. Because I didn't pay much attention to him, I naturally didn't pay attention to his news.
Another military general on the side laughed sullenly, "I heard that a month ago, he went to provoke Southern Xinjiang, and was disgraced by the poisonous insects and poisonous snakes of the people, and there were less than 10,000 tens of thousands of soldiers left with him. Lord Wang, you said that people in southern Xinjiang have always disliked fighting and killing and living their own lives, why is he going to provoke others in a good manner, isn't this something wrong with his brain? ”
The frontier guarded by General Peng Yu is the one close to the southern frontier, because the southern frontier has never participated in the struggle between several countries, and the frontier over there is the most peaceful, and there is usually nothing to do, just guard, it is simply the easiest place in the frontier. However, although southern Xinjiang does not participate in the struggle of various countries, the people of southern Xinjiang are fierce and good at driving snakes and insects and other poisons, and it is definitely more than enough for self-protection, so the other three countries will not be idle and have nothing to provoke it. Everyone knows that if it weren't for the fact that the current king of southern Xinjiang was not interested in expanding his territory, the area of southern Xinjiang would have at least doubled compared to the current one.
Mo Wuxian sneered, "I guess I want to be in the limelight, so I don't have to deal with him." This time he was transferred back, and His Majesty should not let him go out and be embarrassed in a short period of time. ”
It's a pity that Li Guogong has been fighting horses and guarding the frontier all his life, but he has such an indisputable son. Now lingering on the sickbed, I don't know if his only son will be more angry if he is so uncompromising.
The east side of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is close to the sea, the west is bordered by the West Zheng, the north is the North Desert, the south is the South Xinjiang, the South Xinjiang is not mentioned for the time being, but the West Zheng and the North Desert are garrisoned by the soldiers under the palace side by side, as long as the Eastern Zhou Emperor is not afraid of playing Li Pengyu to death, he will go to these two places.
And now that he has lost such a big face on the southern frontier, the Eastern Zhou Emperor is really embarrassed to let him out again in a short time.
"What the prince said is also true, it's a pity for Li Guogong... Several generals sighed a few more words, and then saw that the time was not early, so they scattered one after another and returned to their positions and sat down.
After a while, a middle-aged man dressed in a military uniform with a short beard walked in with a young woman who looked like a flower and looked no more than twenty-eight years old, and sat down slightly in the middle of the hall. The two of them sat together not like husband and wife, but more like father and daughter.
Although Li Pengyu was stationed on the frontier, he did not have the heroic momentum of an ordinary military general and the straightforwardness revealed in his every move, but instead showed a bit of mean arrogance at the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, and even if he was wearing that military uniform, he really did not look like a general.
Li Pengyu is lustful, there are groups of wives and concubines in the family, up to the ladies of the family, the small jasper, down to the dancing girl of the Qinglou, the beautiful slaves, countless, as long as he sees it, he will try his best to get it, and the main room in the house is changing at any time, which is really ridiculous. I don't know how many times I've been ridiculed for this kind of behavior in Beijing, but people don't care at all, they still enjoy themselves, and their cheeks are by no means comparable to ordinary people like us.
After Li Pengyu sat down, after greeting some people around him, he stared straight at Mo Wuxian, and from time to time he also showed a malicious smile, especially after seeing Mo Wuxian's godless eyes, the malicious smile was even more obvious, and even mixed with a bit of ridicule and disdain. Then suddenly turned around and fell on Gu Ange, who was sitting next to Mo Wuxian, a touch of evil intent flashed in his eyes, it was obvious that a sick beauty like Gu Ange was the type he liked.
Gu Ange felt the gaze that had been wandering around him, and looked over to meet Li Pengyu's eyes. Those aggressive eyes made her extremely uncomfortable to look at, well... It's the feeling of wanting to get it out of him.
Peeking at being discovered by the main owner, Li Pengyu did not feel the slightest embarrassment, but picked up the wine glass and smiled at Gu Ange, that smile was really disgusting for Gu Ange, if it weren't for being in the palace now, Gu Ange would have scattered his corpse so that he didn't even have scum left.
Mo Wuxian seemed to move his head inadvertently, and then glanced at the person Gu Ange was looking at without a trace, and then whispered: "That's Li Pengyu." ”
"Waste." This is Gu Ange's evaluation of Li Pengyu at the first meeting.
"It's a piece of rubbish, but stay away from him in the future." Mo Wuxian naturally noticed Li Pengyu's eyes looking at Gu Ange, and couldn't help but think of a hundred ways to die for him in his heart.
"What, you're afraid I'll poison him?" Gu Ange kept smiling, but the words he said were cold and infiltrating.
Mo Wuxian smiled faintly, "Of course not, I'm just afraid that this kind of waste will stain your hands." Also, he can't die for the time being, at least not now, in the hands of the side palace. ”
"How?" Gu Ange raised his eyebrows curiously, Mo Wuxian didn't look like such a soft-hearted person?
"Li Guogong is kind to the palace side by side, and now that he is not in good health, no matter how he is alive, he will be spared."
"While he was alive?" You don't mean that you can kill Li Guogong after he dies, do you?
Mo Wuxian smiled silently, obviously this is what he meant. It is Li Guogong who is kind to the palace side by side, and it is not him Li Pengyu, Mo Wuxian has no idea of repaying the favor and connecting the descendants of others. Besides, if it weren't for Li Guogong's face, with what Li Pengyu has done over the years, he would have sent him to heaven with a sword.
Gu Ange nodded knowingly and didn't say anything more.
After another quarter of an hour, the emperor and queen, dressed in bright yellow, walked into the Sui'an Palace with a bunch of harem concubines and the crown princess.
The people in the hall immediately quieted down and saluted the emperor and queen.
The Eastern Zhou Emperor walked the palace steps and sat in the highest position in the audience.
