Section 14 Socializing

After appeasing the second daughter, Wu Feng asked Di Rena with concern if she could adapt to the new life, and Di Rena said in the unfamiliar imperial Chinese language that she liked her current life very much. Wufeng also told her that Zi would soon leave Yanjing and return to Qingyang in the northwest, if she was unwilling to follow him, he could hire someone to send her back to her hometown in the Western Continent, and Di Rena expressed her willingness to stay with Wufeng, her parents and brothers had been captured in the invasion of the Chidi people, and she didn't know where she was sold now, and there were no relatives in her hometown, and her only reliance was Wufeng now.

Time flies quickly, it's another day, that night, Wu Feng and Guan Hua and the two daughters stayed in the post house, men and women love, and the tenderness is infinite. Due to the physical injuries she suffered the day before, Di Rena has not yet recovered, so she did not participate in the Bladeless Love Action.

Wu Feng always had some doubts about the purpose of the banquet of the eldest prince Situ Tai, and he also conveyed his suspicions to Gu Ji, saying something vague like this, and did not express his true intentions, although Wu Feng was a little confused, but it was also very much in line with Wu Feng's thoughts, if he really wanted to make Wu Feng loyal to someone, it was called a dilemma, pretending to admit it, sooner or later it would be known by several other factions, if he didn't agree, I was afraid that he would offend people immediately, so vague, drag on day by day, and wait for his wings to be full, even if he tears his face, he is not afraid, of course, he must try to avoid this situation。 It was the identity and attitude of Xue Baiying and Fu Jian that made Wu Feng unpredictable, which was also the main reason why Wu Feng let Gu Ji touch the bottom of the two.

The dinner of the third prince Situ Jun was arranged in Qinxinzhai in the western district of Yanjing, which is a restaurant that does not have much reputation in Yanjing, but the surrounding environment is quite elegant. When Wu Feng walked out of the gate of the post house, the carriage sent by Situ Jun was already waiting outside.

When Wufeng came to Qinxinzhai, Situ Jun was already waiting there with his attaché. In addition to Situ Jun, the people who attended the banquet included Reiser, deputy director of the Imperial Police, Decedo, director of the Intelligence Department of the Imperial Interior Administration, Qi Hui, director of the Logistics Department of the Imperial Interior Administration, Yi Xuetao, head of the Fifth Division of the Imperial Praetorian Guard Corps, and his guest secretary Qiu Yuan, Lady Audrey, etc.

Wu Feng was obviously not familiar with the upper-level people in Yanjing, and the few people in front of him were not acquainted, and they only met one by one under Situ Jun's introduction. Wu Feng was chattering with everyone, and he was also thinking about it, it seems that the imperial emperor Situ Mingyue's means of seizing power are still quite clever, no matter how his sons form gangs, when the important positions in the court are all controlled by people who are only loyal to him, it only needs to be seen from the two banquet participants. Although the ministers who usually maintain a good relationship with the princes, it is still unclear which side they are fighting on when it comes to the critical moment, and these minor characters often do not play a role in some cases.

It's just that if Situ Mingyue is gone, the attitude of the ministers will be reversed, and who will really support them at that time is the time to test people, and it is often a mistake that turns into a thousand hatreds.

Although Situ Jun didn't say much, he still thanked Wufeng for the gift he brought back, and his words were quite polite, and several others also congratulated Wufeng on defeating the Luobei people and making great achievements, which was deeply appreciated by His Majesty the Emperor. Wu Feng also modestly said that it was all thanks to His Majesty the Emperor's blessings, and he was able to get away with repelling the enemy, and it all relied on the strong support of the local people. During the banquet, Decedo was obviously very interested in the course of the war, and Wu Feng also introduced the simple process of the battle, and pretended to be in a heavy mood, expressing concern that the Rope might launch another attack this year.

The rest of the people were comforting Wu Feng, only Qiu Yuan sat on the side and did not open his mouth, quietly observing Wu Feng. Audrey also seemed to be full of interest in Wu Feng, and from time to time tempted Wu Feng with verbal teasing, Wu Feng also pretended to be very cautious, and was vague about her temptation. The conversation quickly turned to the current situation of the Empire, with different opinions arguing that the Kaman Empire's occupation of the Duchy of Gerlok should respond quickly to the capture of the Principality of Gerok by the Kamands, and assist Gerok in recovering the occupied territories and leaving the Empire's northern barrier intact. Some believe that the dynamics of the southern Macedhan should be closely monitored, and that there must be an ulterior conspiracy to improve relations with the empire.

Wu Feng just quietly listened to everyone's discussions, and did not interject, but Qiu Yuan did not let go of Wu Feng, he was silent for a long time, and did not speak, when everyone asked his opinion, he skillfully pushed and pointed everyone's finger at Wu Feng: "Everyone, we are all talking on paper in the rear, Li Dacai came back from the northwest front, and also defeated the invasion of the Luope people, and achieved brilliant results, he must have a unique view of the current situation, why don't we listen to his opinion?"

Everyone looked at Wu Feng, and Wu Feng also knew that he would always push the problem to himself in the end, which was also a way for Situ Jun and them to understand their abilities, if they were no different from others, they would definitely think that they were scheming with them, and they would definitely arouse their suspicions, but if they were too sharp, they would also leave troubles, and if they thought that they did not belong to their faction, they would definitely be disadvantageous to themselves. Only by not following the crowd, but also not coming up with a better solution, can their suspicions be dispelled.

As for the current situation of the empire, it is similar to everyone, but I think that although the north looks a little dangerous at the moment, as long as the Taixuan Mansion maintains its current situation and does not solve the threat of the Taixuan Mansion to Kaman's southward back, Kaman will never dare to drive straight south. As for the south, the Macederan Khanate is our worst enemy, and the purpose of improving relations with the empire now is nothing more than to free up its hands to clean up the disobedient neighbors and deal with the empire when the opportunity is ripe. However, at present, the emperor's [***] strength is seriously insufficient, and he knows that he has bad intentions, and there is no better way. Although Wu Feng was the head of the situation analysis, he also pretended to have no way to deal with it and sighed, all of which was seen by Akihara.

Everyone nodded in agreement with Wu Feng's opinion, and they all sighed at the current predicament of the empire. Autumn quietly exchanged glances with Audrey.

The dinner soon ended in everyone's talk and laughter, and before parting, Situ Jun grabbed Wufeng alone, patted Wufeng's shoulder, and said with a pun: "Master Li is young and promising, and his future is immeasurable, but you have to grasp the direction well." The two simple sentences sounded rich in Wu Feng's ears, and Wu Feng also felt that the person in front of him must not be taken lightly.

In the next few days, Wu Feng successively participated in the banquet of the Seventh Prince Situ Yuan and the Ninth Emperor Prince Situ Lang, and Wu Feng skillfully adopted an impartial and impartial approach to deal with the past temporarily, as for how the other party sees himself in his heart, Wu Feng is not sure, but the current situation can only be like this. Situ Biao's banquet is very much in line with Wufeng's appetite, there is no excessive red tape at all, all about talking about lust and lust, how to enjoy life to the fullest, Wufeng also feels very relaxed, but he still feels that things are by no means so simple, but the other party did not bring it up, and he is not good at asking anything.

Wu Feng's social activities in Yanjing reached ** at the family dance party held by Uncle Angel's. The family dance party was not a traditional social method in the Tang River Empire, but was frequently circulated with exchanges with the Western Continent, and soon became a popular social event in the upper class of the empire.

Duke Marco held a ball in the name of celebrating the thirtieth anniversary of his marriage to the Duchess, and entertained many gentry and celebrities in the upper class of the empire.

The ball began at 8 p.m. and took place in the Duke Mark's residence. Duke Marco's residence is located on Guihu Avenue in the southern district of Yanjing, which is a famous aristocratic settlement in Yanjing. Duke Marco's mansion was built shortly after the establishment of the empire, and has been renovated and expanded many times later, and is a very famous complex in Yanjing.

When Wu Feng arrived outside the gate of Duke Marco's mansion with four guards, it was already dark, Wu Feng left the guards outside the door and walked straight to the mansion by himself. The reception staff outside the door had already seen Wu Feng and his party, but no one knew Wu Feng, so they didn't care. When Wu Feng came to the gate, the receptionist asked Wu Feng if he had an invitation, Wu Feng didn't expect to bring an invitation to the ball, so he couldn't help but hang there, and then he told the receptionist that he was invited by Miss Angel and there was no invitation. The receptionist looked Wu Feng up and down with a suspicious gaze, and asked someone to go in and report to Miss Angel, who was busy entertaining guests, and asked Wu Feng to wait outside the door.

Wu Feng was a little angry, several guards were even more angry, Wu Feng was almost a god in their eyes, and no one had ever dared to be so unreasonable to his boss, and they all pressed their hands on the saber at their waists, but Wu Feng thought that it was his lover's home, so why should he be like a subordinate, and he stopped the anger that the four subordinates were about to erupt.

Angel quickly ran out and reprimanded several reception staff, and then accompanied Wufeng into the door.

When Wu Feng walked into the spacious hall of Duke Marco's palace, almost all the guests looked at Wu Feng, who was dressed normally. "Lord Li Wufeng, the Marquis of Baisheng, has arrived!" With the shout of the ceremonial officer, the nearly 100 guests in the hall couldn't help but stretch their necks to see what kind of person this legendary figure who defeated the Luope people was.

Rao is Wufeng has been through the wind and waves for a long time, and he still feels a little uncomfortable under the gaze of nearly 100 people in this scene, but fortunately, an old man in his fifties greeted him. "Welcome, welcome, distinguished guests, disappointed welcome. ”

By his senses, Wu Feng knew that this thin old man was Angel's uncle, the patriarch of the Huey family among the five major families of the empire, and the master of this ball, Duke Marco. "Duke Marco, Li Wufeng has heard of his name for a long time. Wu Feng also hurriedly saluted.

"Come on, come on, please, Lord Li is probably not familiar with us Yanjing high society people, let me introduce you to it. Duke Marco led Wu Feng into the hall very enthusiastically. Wu Feng also took the opportunity to take a look at the surrounding environment, the hall is very large, enough to accommodate more than 100 people at the same time, and there are also connected small halls and corridors around it, the aisles are covered with expensive Lens jacquard carpets imported from the Central Continent, and the floors are paved with luxurious polished high-quality blue jade, which is enough to reflect the human figure. The musicians in ceremonial attire at the front of the hall were ready to stop, just waiting for the host to announce the start.

"This is the Count and Lady of Matico, this is the Duke and Lady of Sobul, and this is the Countess of Blis......" After a series of introductions, Wu Feng only knew that he smiled and repeated a series of nonsense such as "It's a pleasure to meet you", "It's a great honor to meet you", "Ah, Madam, you are so beautiful", and when he finished introducing the nobles on the left side of the hall, Wu Feng felt that his facial muscles were about to stiffen.

The guests on the right side of the hall were clearly out of place with the nobles on the left side of the hall, and Wu Feng felt a little strange. When Duke Marco pulled him to the right and told him that these people were his friends in the business world, it dawned on Wu Feng that although these people had surpassed the nobles on the left in terms of economic power, they were still looked down upon by the hereditary nobles because they were not given proper status in politics.

However, Wu Feng was far more interested in getting to know these people than the nobles on the left, and when Duke Marco led him to these people, Wu Feng had already stretched out his hands with a smile.
