The palace banquet with the participation of the lord of the country is not like the family banquet of ordinary people, it is very disciplined, and you can't do whatever you want.

For example, when speaking, the situation is usually started by King Chu You, remembering something, starting, ordering other ministers to chat a few words, after taking turns to speak, everyone echoes and laughs, everyone applauds together, and has a drink together.

People who have not been named by King Chu You cannot speak at will, but if another person named by the person who spoke before can speak in support or refute, even if the two have different opinions, they can't quarrel in public, they can't coax, they must come one by one, if King Chu You doesn't want to listen to it, he can interrupt this topic at any time.

When the repertoire of "Guangling San" was being prepared, King Chu You became interested and asked loudly: "Yue Aiqing, I heard that when you were in the Fire Spirit Clan, you shocked the Demon Clan with this song "Guangling San", forcing the Fire Spirit Clan's guards to retreat in embarrassment, and made many resonant poems to summon the phantom of the assassin Nie Zheng?"

Yue Heng recalled that scene and smiled apologetically at the Huo Zhiyun beside him, Huozhiyun's heart was extremely warm, because Yue Heng borrowed her Jiaomu Yaoqin and played a heavenly repertoire.

Yue Heng said: "Back to the king, it's roughly like this, but the power is not as great as the outside world rumores, the end will just win by luck, the poems are also worthy of the ear, Nie Zheng's phantom is even more of a joke, it is really just a phantom, and it is not lethal." ”

"Oh?" King Chu You was surprised: "Is this true?"

Yue Heng smiled and said, "The last general doesn't dare to say anything. ”

He didn't know what was wrong with answering this, but on the one hand, it was the modesty of the literati. On the other hand, this is indeed the case.

But hear him answer like this. Some people in the hall suddenly felt bad. Because these contents said by King You of Chu are basically carefully sorted, inferred, and summarized by some officials of Chu State.

If Yue Heng denied it, wouldn't it mean that these officials were wrong and were deceiving the king?

However, King Chu You's mood was not bad today, and he didn't dwell on this question, but asked, "Yue Aiqing." I wonder if you can repeat the same scene today?"

Yue Heng couldn't shirk it, agreed, stood up, and prepared to go to the musician area.

"Your Majesty, General Yue plays the piano, and the minister wants to dance the sword to cheer up!" Meng Zhan said loudly.

King Chu You smiled: "Meng Aiqing, do you still have such Yaxing?"

Meng Zhan said: "Has the king forgotten the scene on the spring hunting ground? General Cao, the vanguard officer under the minister back then, is now the peak strength of the eighth-level commander, which is enough to see the power of General Yue's poems and songs. Today's opportunity is rare, and I want to try it even when I'm old. Otherwise, he will be surpassed by the adjutant in a few years, and he will lose face!"

"Hahahaha!"

King Chu You's loudest laugh was loudest. The civil and military officials also bowed their heads and chuckled, amused by Meng Zhan's words.

Cao Tongpu sat alone in a seat, in front of the military general area, and the female dependent accompanying him was Meng Tian, raising her sleeves to cover half of her face, smiling happily, this pair of golden boys and girls didn't know how many people's eyes they attracted.

People who know them know that Cao Tongpu should become Meng Zhan's fast son-in-law without accident, Meng Zhan made fun of Cao Tongpu, it was a joke between Weng and his son-in-law, it should not be true, if Cao Tongpu can really surpass Meng Zhan's achievements in the future, Meng Zhan will only be happy, and will never lose face.

However, many people believe the first half of this statement.

Meng Zhan has remained at the level of the ninth-level martial arts sect for many years, if he wants to become a martial saint, unless he encounters a great opportunity, the possibility is extremely small, so Meng Zhan wants to seize every opportunity to try, Yue Heng's poetry is very powerful, everyone knows it.

However, Chu Yaotian, Wu Dlong and others who were present heard Meng Zhan's true intentions.

Singing and dancing at the palace banquet and dancing with swords to cheer up the fun are the traditions of warriors for hundreds of years.

Meng Zhan preemptively made a request, firstly, he and Yue Heng were his own people, and he would never make trouble in the middle, and secondly, if it was really a chance, he would never let others get benefits.

In addition, since it was Meng Zhan who made the request, juniors like Wu Long were not qualified to fight, and only Chu Yaotian could fight with Mongolia.

Let Chu Yaotian come forward to fight?

Chu Yaotian is the elder of King Chu You, he is the emperor's uncle, and he is separated from a young junior like Yue Heng I don't know how many levels, how can Chu Yaotian dance a sword for Yue Heng?

"Awesome! This move really embarrassed this king! Meng Zhan, this old fox, reacted too fast, I didn't even expect this move!" Chu Yaotian sighed in his heart and shook his head secretly.

"General Meng is really a treacherous and cunning person, you must keep an eye on him at all times, and you must not underestimate him!"

King Chu You didn't think so deeply, but Meng Zhan's words reminded him.

He thought for a while, and said with interest: "Meng Aiqing, if it is really as you say, Yue Aiqing's poetry and songs have the effect of improving strength, you might as well give this opportunity to the juniors! Cao Aiqing, do you say? The one next to you is Miss Meng Er, right? Miss Meng Er, do you think this is the reason?"

Meng Tian was broken by King Chu You in public, and Cao Tongpu had to stand up in embarrassment, but he couldn't answer King Chu You's question!

Cao Tongpu wanted to refuse to take a break, but he was hesitant, which instantly caused the whole hall to laugh, and even King Chu You bent over with laughter, and waved his hand again and again to signal the ceremonial eunuch to send the elixir and jade liquid to the young man.

Only Meng Zhan shook his head secretly, he was not against Cao Tongpu and Meng Tian's public relationship, and the whole Chu State probably knew that he wanted to recruit Cao Tongpu as his son-in-law.

He shook his head because he heard a trace of uneasiness from King Chu You's words.

The three armies of the Chu State, the Zhenyuan Army is external, the Qinwang Army is internal, and there is also the internal guard army under the direct command of King Chu You, in a sense, the stronger the Zhenyuan army, the more dangerous the position of King Chu You.

The stronger Yue Heng is, the stronger the Zhenyuan army will be, which is also the same reason.

King Chu You can't suppress the forces of the Zhenyuan Army openly, so he can only find a way to divide, weaken, and sow discord between Meng Zhan and Cao Tongpu, and it is all easy to do, at this time, he refuses to dance the sword of Meng Zhan, and let him leave the opportunity to the juniors, so there are many lists that can compete for this possible breakthrough opportunity, and the junior officers of the Inner Guard Army and the Qinwang Army have it.

"Could it be that the king has strengthened his defense against our Zhenyuan army? No, the Zhenyuan army has shouldered the heavy task of encircling the Chu State for so many years, and now the war is still tense, even if the king is on guard, he shouldn't do it now......

Meng Zhan had a hundred flavors in his heart, and he didn't know what to say.

In the previous dynasties, the relationship between the important minister and the lord of the country has always been walking on thin ice, the two sides strive to find a balance, once a party breaks the balance strongly, internal disasters will come, there will always be a party will fall to a tragic end, the Chu State has been founded for three hundred years, the tragic vast majority of the heavy ministers are important ministers.

Just when Meng Zhan hesitated, Cao Tongpu was embarrassed, and no one on the side of Zhenyuan's army answered, Chu Yaotian secretly shouted: "The opportunity has come!" (To be continued.) )
