Qin Shuhuang was in front, Cao Jian and his wife were only half a step away from Qin Shuhuang, and they were followed by the sons and nieces of the Cao family, and those who didn't know thought that this banquet was hosted by the Cao family.

Everyone stood up and saluted Qin Shuhuang.

Qin Shuhuang walked to the first seat and sat down, and then asked everyone to calm down.

Cao Jian took the Cao family and naturally sat down on the first seat on the left of Qin Shuhuang.

The Dawu Dynasty respects the left, at this time, the Cao family sits on the left, and the Xu family sits on the right, and it is clear who is important in the eyes of the eldest princess.

The people who went to the banquet looked at each other, they first looked at the place where the Xu family was sitting, and then looked at the place where the Cao family was sitting.

The faces of the people in the Cao family immediately had smug smiles, and those who stood on the side of the Xu family looked worried.

In addition, everyone in the Cao family was dressed ceremoniously and bejeweled, and the Xu family on the opposite side of the lining was all dusty.

Qin Shuhuang looked at everyone with a light smile, and his gaze swept in the direction of the Xu family.

There are not many people in the Xu family today, only Xu San's husband and wife and two nephews.

Xu Zizhang received letters from his father and eldest brother and sister-in-law, and from his family, he had a preliminary understanding of what kind of person the eldest princess was.

Sitting here now, seeing that Qin Shuhuang deliberately appeared with the Cao family again, he immediately reacted to how he should behave.

When Master Xu San saw the scene of the banquet at this time, his expression gradually became solemn, he poured himself a glass of wine, and looked up with a wry smile and took a sip.

The two nephews sitting behind him saw the third uncle's expression, and immediately reacted, the faces of the two young people were full of anger, they sat straight at the table, but they looked at the Cao family opposite with anger on their faces.

Mrs. Xu couldn't bear to see her husband so frustrated, and whispered a few words of comfort from time to time.

The Xu family's performance made the Cao family more and more proud, and also made Cao Jian trust Qin Shuhuang's previous cooperation.

Cao Jian laughed, he first stood up and toasted towards Qin Shuhuang, and then said to Xu Zizhang opposite: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess came to Xia Gongcheng for the first time, and it was Cao's honor to personally entertain me and other ministers for the first time. On such a good day, why is it that only General Xu's family is sad, is General Xu dissatisfied with His Royal Highness? ”

Cao Jian, who had already gained the upper hand, even wanted to give maggots to Qin Shuhuang and the Xu family at this time.

Hearing Cao Jian's words, the first to hold back were the two sons and nephews of the Xu family, Xu Xinsong and Xu Xinchi stood up angrily and said, "General Cao, don't deceive people too much!" ”

Cao Jian laughed, "What, the two juniors want to compete with my junior of the Cao family here to help His Highness?" ”

Xu Zizhang only snorted coldly at the nephew behind him at this time, "Okay, sit down!" ”

Instead, he got up and saluted towards Qin Shuhuang, and bowed his hand to Cao Jian, "Your Highness, Weichen is not dissatisfied with Your Highness, and I ask Your Highness to be clear." ”

Qin Shuhuang frowned and glanced at Cao Jian and Xu Zizhang, "Okay, both of them are great martial artists, and it's better to value harmony." ”

After speaking, as if in order to appease Cao Jian and Xu Zizhang, the eldest princess ordered the maids beside her to reward the two dishes on her table to the two of them.

Everyone in the hall stared, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess rewarded the Xu family with an ordinary cold dish, but what she gave to the Cao family was a Buddha jumping over the wall with all the color and fragrance.

From the reward of the eldest princess, everyone knew clearly whether the eldest princess was biased towards the Cao family or the Xu family.

Xu Zizhang's face became even more ugly.

The eldest princess couldn't help but eat it, General Xu ate this plate of cold dishes with a cold stomach, and the Cao family happily shared the cup of Buddha jumping over the wall.

This was followed by a dance at the banquet.

At the end of the dance, Mrs. Cao Jian Cao came to the front to toast Qin Shuhuang, and Qin Shuhuang drank it very face-savingly.

Then Xu Zizhang and his wife also came to toast Qin Shuhuang, but Qin Shuhuang just touched his lips for a while.

Halfway through the banquet, Xu Zizhang couldn't stand the cold treatment of the eldest princess anymore, and took his wife and nephew to leave the banquet at the post station on the grounds of physical discomfort.

As soon as Xu Zizhang left, General Liu, who was hiding in the tavern next to the post station, got the news.

"Back to the general, the Xu family has left!"

General Liu picked up the wine cup in front of the table and drank it down, "Are you sure?" ”

"The subordinates determined that the Xu family was treated harshly by the eldest princess and the Cao family at the banquet, and General Xu's face was dark when he left, which was very ugly."

The corners of General Liu's mouth raised slightly, very good, I didn't expect there to be an unexpected gain, it would be better for the Xu family to leave ahead of time and not interfere, originally he was only fifty percent sure, but now that there is no Xu family, his chances of winning are two percent more!

"Tell me to go down, and do it in a quarter of an hour! Anyone who wants to stop the general, whoever it is, will be killed! ”

"Yes!"

The flower hall of the post station was staggered, and after the Xu family left, the smile on Qin Shuhuang's face became even more.

He also drank with Mrs. Cao from time to time.

When the atmosphere in the flower hall was at its warmest, a group of masked black-clothed people suddenly rushed out outside the post station, and the officers and soldiers guarding around the post station were solved in three or two clicks, and this group of black-clothed people rushed into the post station and fought with the guards of the Cao family.

Cao Jian's Chang Sui hurriedly came in and reported to Cao Jian in a low voice, "General, it's not good!" Someone was assassinated outside! It's General Liu's people! ”

Cao Jian's expression was grim.

General Liu didn't find a chance last night, and Cao Jian expected that he would strike again today, so he arranged a lot of Cao family troops and guards at the post station in advance.

I originally thought that General Liu would be discouraged when he saw it, but I didn't expect General Liu to still bite the bullet!

Even so, he Cao Jian is not a soft egg!

"According to what we arranged before, you go and inform a few adjutants, and lead people to repel General Liu's men, and General Ben will send his wife and His Royal Highness away first."

"Yes! Checkmate! ”

Chang Sui hurriedly left the flower hall.

Cao Jian whispered to Mrs. Cao, and then walked quickly to Qin Shuhuang's side and informed General Liu of the assassination.

Qin Shuhuang was surprised and at the same time, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he was caught by Cao Jian.

Cao Jian immediately said: "Your Highness, don't be afraid, Weichen has already arranged it, so let Madame leave with His Highness first." You can rest assured that as long as you are in Xia Gongcheng, Wechen can keep you safe. ”

Cao Jian's words seemed to instantly calm Qin Shuhuang, and the panicked look on her face eased a little.

pulled a smile, "There is General Lao Cao, Mrs. Cao." ”

After speaking, he called Mrs. Cao and the descendants of the Cao family and ordered his cronies to protect them and leave.

There is a secret passage in the post station that only the Cao family knows, which can lead directly to Cao Jian's office in the border army.

Xie Xuanye was protected by Qin Shuhuang's side, and the guards guarded Qin Shuhuang and Xie Xuanye, even if Cao Jian changed his hexagram, Qin Shuhuang could rely on the guards to keep him safe.

When he arrived in the border army, Xu Zizhang had already arranged manpower in the border army, and once the Cao family made a move in the border army, he would suppress it as soon as possible.

Besides, now that Mrs. Cao and the descendants of the Cao family are here, Cao Jian's words should be true.

After arriving at Cao Jian's office, everyone stayed in the office for an hour before someone came to inform the post station that it had subsided.

Mrs. Cao accompanied Qin Shuhuang back to Cao's house to rest.

After settling Qin Shuhuang, Mrs. Cao took people back to the main courtyard of the Cao family, and Cao Jian had returned.

As soon as she entered the door, Mrs. Cao felt her husband's low air pressure.
