Chapter 57: The Assassins

The banquet is very grand, I heard that it was personally organized by Princess Chen, in order to get a trace of favor from King Chen, she did not hesitate to arrange a birthday banquet for her rival, she really can endure what ordinary people can't bear!

Wei Shuyan sat in her seat, saluting with the people around her from time to time, Shen Wei sat in front of her, and there were a few little girls around her who looked at him and discussed quietly.

This person is really feminine.

One of the more daring ones walked towards Shen Wei with a wine glass. This person Wei Shuyan knows, is the daughter of Lord Zhang's family, Zhang Yaocen, Lord Zhang works in the capital, is a civil official, and her father Liu Zhao has never been on good terms.

That family has always been high, she is a concubine, and now she has been merged into the ranks of the Shangjia family, so Zhang Yaocen can't get used to her, and of course she can't get used to Zhang Yaocen.

Zhang Yaocen: "Which family are you the son, I don't seem to have seen you before." ”

Shen Wei got up, saluted, and said, "I'm not a son of a family, but a grass people." ”

"Grass people?" Zhang Yaocen looked Shen Wei up and down, seeing that he was humble and polite, with fine skin and tender meat, where he looked like a grass people, could it be a relative of the emperor from the capital, so he said so in order to hide his identity.

Zhang Yaocen: "Even if the grass people can have the bearing of a son, they are better than these gentlemen present." ”

"The girl praised it falsely." Wei Shuyan said humbly.

"Childe, the little girl toasts you." Zhang Yaocen lifted her wine glass.

"I'm really sorry, I don't know how to drink, so I use water instead of wine." Shen Ji lifted his half glass of water, ignored the girl who was going to clink glasses with him, and just did it.

"Isn't Shen Gongzi not drinking?" Wei Shuyan came to the two of them with a wine glass at some point.

"Who did I think it was? It turned out to be the rebel daughter of the Liu family. Zhang Yaocen Yin and Yang strange aura.

"Zhang Yaocen, your father is such a big official, why didn't he pass on his IQ to you, how many times do you want me to say, my surname is Wei, not Liu." Yin and Yang weird Wei Shuyan is no longer under Zhang Yaocen.

"What do you say? You dare to say that I have no IQ. Zhang Yaocen was so angry that he clenched the wine glass in his hand, and the wine was a little out of shape when he spilled on the wine.

However, she quickly put away her anger and turned her head to grin at Shen Ji.

"It turns out that your surname is Shen, hey, why do you have the same surname as Concubine Shen, right?" Zhang Yaocen seemed to have thought of something.

As we all know, Concubine Shen's status is humble, since this person's surname is Shen, it should be a relative of Concubine Shen's side, and naturally she is also a humble person, she sighed in her heart: It's a pity that she looks like this.

Zhang Yaocen looked at Wei Shuyan, looked at Shen Jiong, and said, "Then I'll leave first, you guys have a good chat." ”

After turning around, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, the merchant and the grass man are really a perfect match.

"This girl's face is changing faster than yours." Shen Wei sat down and shook his head.

"What do you mean? Blame me for ruining your good deeds! Wei Shuyan teased.

Shen Jiong: "What good thing can it be, I still want to thank you for helping me out of the siege?" ”

The two chatted with each other, and the topic jumped quickly, the point was that both of them could pick up quickly.

After a short time, today's protagonist appeared, and King Chen sat on the top of the main hall with the princess and Shen Wan, and after greeting the guests below, he announced the opening of the banquet.

Everyone pushed the cups and changed them for a long time, Chen Wang stood up, staggered to Shen Wan to toast, and called a group of people, who carried a lot of boxes and placed them on the grass.

King Chen: "Wan'er, I remember you said that you like the stars in the sky because they can light up the sky, but this king thinks that it is not enough, so this king has prepared a gift for you, hoping to light up the night sky." ”

Shen Wan: "Lord Wang." ”

The two of them were affectionate, everything around them seemed to be air, and the others only regarded them as a pair of people, only the princess, her expression was very stiff, as if she was forcing a smile.

Wei Shuyan drank wine alone, it seemed that all this had nothing to do with her, the wine of Wang Chen's family has always been the most fragrant, and the reason why she often came to Chen Wang's Mansion for banquets also had one reason.

"Miss, drink less, don't get drunk." Xiao Yu had been kneeling behind Wei Shuyan, and she reminded quietly.

Wei Shuyan pulled a few grapes, stuffed them into Xiao Yu's mouth, and turned to her, "Don't worry about me." ”

"Miss." Xiao Yu snorted coldly, she knew that she couldn't persuade this drunkard, so she picked up the plate of grapes on the table and ate it herself.

At this banquet, her master and servant were the least upright.

Wei Shuyan drank too much, her eyes were a little blurry, she seemed to see the person opposite looking at her, the strange thing was that the person's face was very blurry, but the eyes were very clear, as if he was a whole person, only those eyes were real.

Wait, the man seemed to be walking towards her.

"Are you drunk again?" Shen Wei grabbed the man's arm, "Miss Xiaoyu, why don't you take your young lady back to rest first." ”

"Shen Jiong, don't be nosy." Wei Shuyan spoke with a lot of anger, but she was a little drunk when she heard it.

"Brother Shen, you also saw it, and I want her to be willing to go back." Xiao Yu said aggrievedly.

"Alright! Then you take good care of her. ”

Bang~

The second half of Shen Ji's sentence was drowned out by the loud sound of fireworks exploding.

In an instant, the whole sky was just like what King Chen said, Shen Ji and Xiao Yu supported Wei Shuyan, who staggered up, and looked up with everyone to enjoy the brilliant fireworks.

While everyone was looking up at the starry sky, one of the fireworks-carrying workers had already blended into the banquet.

King Chen's friendship with Shen Wan, of course, there is more than one gift, and after the fireworks, he ordered someone to bring up a big box, and everyone was very curious about what would be inside.

The two people carrying the box passed in front of Wei Shuyan, Wei Shuyan rested her head on Xiao Yu's shoulder, she originally just wanted to be a quiet spectator, but she didn't expect to find that one of them looked very similar to Shen Jiong.

She glanced at the other side, and Shen Ji was sitting there!

So who is this person?

Wei Shuyan was so drunk that she didn't care about Shen Ji's etiquette, so she got up and rushed up, knocking down the cabinet, and in a panic, she and the person looked at each other.

"What's going on?" Chen Wang was also a little drunk, and when he saw that the surprise he had prepared was destroyed, he was a little anxious.

"Wei Shuyan, are you drunk, come on, hurry up and pull her away."

There was some panic on the field for a while, and Shen Wei also quickly got up and went over, wanting to pull Wei Shuyan away.

As a result, she used her strength to bounce everyone who stepped forward away.

"Wait," Wei Shuyan steadied her weak steps, pulled out the soft sword at her waist, and faced the black-faced little brother, "You are King Shu." ”

When King Shu learned that his identity was exposed, he pressed the sleeve arrow, and the first one was towards Wei Shuyan's abdomen, because the distance was very close, so she had time to block it and pierced straight into the abdomen.

Shen Ji hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Wei Shuyan away. King Shu ran forward and shot the sleeve arrow again, this time towards King Chen, Shen Wan blocked in front of the prince, and the sleeve arrow hit Shen Wan's arrow step.

"Sister," Shen Wei handed Wei Shuyan to Xiao Yu in the back, stepped forward with an arrow, kicked King Shu to the ground, grabbed his collar, and punched him a few times.

King Shu looked at Shen Jiong's eyes at this moment, and it seemed to be a little familiar, that kind of chilling expression.
