Chapter 381: At the Banquet

Zhao Shijun has always been flying and domineering, and his eyes are empty.

When he arrived downstairs on the eighth side, he didn't see Xiao Tingsheng coming downstairs to greet him, and he was furious.

With an idea, he came to a ridiculous dismount.

According to the rank, Xiao Tingsheng is currently the third rank, and he Zhao Shijun is the second rank, and he is still a marquis.

With this regular etiquette, it makes sense for him to be angry.

But he ignored Xiao Tingsheng's identity at this time, not only the Zuo Admiral of the Military Affairs Department of the Ministry of War, but the prince's special envoy, which is equivalent to the prince himself.

Therefore, Xiao Tingsheng did not go downstairs to greet him, maintaining the dignity of the prince, which was completely in line with the court's legal etiquette.

Hearing Lord Thorn's shouting, his guards outside the door all rushed in.

Seeing this, Wang Sheng and Luo Tong, the two leaders of the guards, stood in front of Xiao Tingsheng with a shout, and pressed their right hands on Yanling's waist knife.

The air in the chamber froze suddenly, and a murderous aura rushed to the face.

Master Du and Murong Jing, who accompanied Zhao Shijun in, were exchanging information between their eyebrows.

I never thought that the situation in the room suddenly changed, and the two of them were so shocked that they couldn't shout when their mouths were wide open.

Seeing this, Xiao Tingsheng had to get up and arch his fist to Zhao Shijun:

"Marquis Zhao, Xiao was ordered by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to go to Youzhou to inspect the people's situation, and was about to go to visit the Marquis, and it happened to be a banquet for the rich businessman Murong Jing, so he decided to meet here.

The orchid who was standing on the side was smoky, and when she heard this, she reached out to cover her little mouth in shock.

I also wanted to provoke the arrogance of Lord Shi before, and give the other party a dismount, so as to whitewash my humiliation just now.

But he never thought that the person in front of him was the envoy of the crown prince of the final Jin dynasty, and he was ordered to inspect the minister of Youzhou.

It's worth it!

Of course, Zhao Shijun would not be stupid enough to think that Xiao Tingsheng, a shameless villain who has regained his life, quietly touched Youzhou, is he really here to inspect the people's situation, or to visit himself, a feudal official?

When it comes to military strategy, intrigue in officialdom, and deception, he is an absolute expert.

It seems that some people thought of the cake of Youzhou, and they didn't want to become a strategic place for multiple parties to compete for and sell at a price.

Xiao Tingsheng was forced to report his home, just to gain a short face.

Zhao Shijun's fat mind had already turned hundreds of thoughts in an instant.

There is no need to doubt the true feelings of the other side.

Although it was a private visit to Weifu, his bearing and calmness, and the murderous aura of the guards behind him, made Zhao Shijun, who had been in the sea for a long time, immediately determine that the prince of the tiger and wolf had invisibly threatened him.

It's just that what the prince is doing here in Northern Xinjiang, is it just a courtesy visit and inspecting the people's conditions?

Saying that, Zhao Shijun walked up to Xiao Tingsheng upside down, and the two bear paws that had just kneaded Yanhong's slender hands shook each other's hands enthusiastically.

The soft and hot conduction made Xiao Tingsheng immediately have goosebumps on his body.

"Oh, it turned out that the prince's envoy arrived, how do you say that? I'm not mentally prepared at all, you come, I should go to the gate of the East City with a full guard of honor to greet you. ”

"Shopkeeper Murong, you are so wrong, the prince's envoy came to Youzhou to inspect, why do you have to say hello to me in advance, how can I be embarrassed?"

Zhao Shijun said.

His face was full of joy, his fat was squeezed together, and his eyes were squeezed into a slit.

As he spoke, this guy also turned his head and glanced at Murong Jing, and the gloomy glint that flashed in his eyes made the other party involuntarily fight a cold war.

Mah, didn't I tell Master Du, didn't this dog-headed military advisor say it?

If that's the case, this guy doesn't talk about the righteousness of the rivers and lakes, right, he took Lao Tzu's gold baht but didn't do a good job?

Annoyed, Murong Jing glanced at Master Du.

Master Du was very surprised, he saw Murong Jing's dissatisfied eyes, and his face was bitter.

If you don't dare to argue, it's hard to argue.

Obviously, when he came, he told Hou Ye in the Assassin's Mansion that Xiao Tingsheng, the prince's envoy, was present at the banquet.

But Hou Ye is now pretending not to know, pretending to be stupid.

I'm afraid this is acting again.

"Oh, Master Hou, you are too polite, there is no need to blame the shopkeeper for this matter, it was this envoy who didn't let him tell you, if Master Hou really came to greet him with a full guard of honor, I wouldn't dare to come."

Xiao Tingsheng smiled.

He quietly withdrew his hand.

Murong Jing saw that the envoy had rounded the field for him, and hurriedly invited the two adults to take a seat, saying that the dinner would start immediately.

Who sits on the main seat, Xiao Tingsheng and Zhao Shijun apologized to each other.

To say that the status of the two has their own merits, it is basically the same.

Although Xiao Tingsheng only has a third-rank official rank, he is the prince's envoy.

Zhao Shijun is a hereditary marquis, a second-grade assassin of the history.

But in Youzhou City, Zhao Shijun is considered a landlord.

Xiao Tingsheng pushed him to sit on the head, and he sat down after a few polite strokes.

Murong Jing, a wealthy businessman who paid today, has become an errand boy in the wing room of the eight-sided building.

I saw him gently signal, and Yanhong immediately instructed his subordinates to start playing music,

And she herself is also a red lip lightly, the neon dress is flying, and she sings and dances lightly.

Most of the people present were absent-minded and had their own thoughts.

Sensing that the attention of everyone present was not on her, Yanhong was very frustrated.

But she didn't want to lose, but worked harder than usual.

Don't let the VIPs underestimate themselves.

In the music and singing, the best dishes of the eight-sided building have been delivered like flowing water.

Of course, it is not appropriate to talk about business at a banquet.

Xiao Tingsheng and Zhao Shijun both played haha, chatting about the marginal words, most of them were old things.

Each other's cups come and go, but they look happy.

Murong Jing personally carried the wine jug and waited for the two bigwigs on the side.

Xiao Tingsheng finally understood why Zhao Shijun was so fat.

His appetite was surprisingly good, and he swept away all the meat-and-vegetable dishes and fatty dishes, munching on them while not forgetting to pour wine into his mouth.

Generally speaking, officials of their level pay attention to a person who never gets tired of eating and is not tired of being meticulous.

Zhao Shijun is good, and those who come do not refuse.

If it weren't for Xiao Tingsheng, who would have known that he was from a famous aristocratic family, looking at this appearance, he would really think that Lord Thorn Shi was a son of a poor family before.

Only those who have been hungry since childhood will develop this virtue of eating.

After being full of wine and food, Zhao Shijun finally patted his stomach with satisfaction, showing great satisfaction.

He took the towel handed over by Murong Jing, wiped the sweat on his face, wiped the oil stains on his hands, clapped his hands and said:

"Okay, I'm full, you can all go down, the envoy and I want to talk about something serious!"

Yanhong in the wing room, the singer she brought, and the people from the Assassin's Mansion immediately withdrew very obediently.

But the people brought by Xiao Tingsheng were of course unmoved.

How could they obey Zhao Shijun?
