Tuoba Lie watched Liang Xiao talk about the wine, but he didn't say a word about the two families, and finally couldn't sit still, got up and continued to toast.

"Marquis of Lanling, our Tuoba clan is sincere, and we hope to release the previous suspicions!"

"Tsuba-sama ......"

Without waiting for Liang Xiao to finish speaking, Tuoba Lie hurriedly waved his hand, looking panicked.

"Now that the old man is white, the Marquis of Lanling is really tormenting the old man, if you don't dislike it, you just call Shibo is ......"

Liang Xiao did not hesitate, smiled and called "Shibo".

Tuoba Lie said happily: "Then the old man will brazenly call you a virtuous nephew!" ”

"Eh, Tuoba Shibo and Yang Shibo are highly respected in the country and are in the position of scholars, you can look down on me as a junior, I should feel honored."

Liang Xiao looked sincere, got up and poured a glass for Tuoba Lie and Sima Ling.

Tuoba Lie saw it in his eyes, and his brows furrowed.

Yang Ling, Zhuge Cheng, and Sima Ling just smiled knowingly, and did not break it.

Yang Ling, as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry selected by the ancestor, and Zhuge Hui have also been old friends for many years, and they are loyal ministers who firmly support the Son of Heaven, so there is no problem in calling Liang Xiao a virtuous nephew.

As for Tuobalie...... is actually embarrassed to call himself Shibo to Liang Xiao?

However, Tuoba Lie was so diligent, but it was in Liang Xiao's arms.

Seeing that Liang Xiao was so polite, Tuoba Lie also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and blurted out the prepared words.

"Virtuous nephew, back then, the old man and others just didn't agree with Ling Zun, but no matter what, Ling Zun's heroic martyrdom is moving, I couldn't ask the emperor to chase me back then, and the old man is here to compensate you!"

Between the words, Tuoba Lie burst into tears, as if he was full of regret.

Liang Xiao sighed: "If Shibo had been honest with me earlier, I should have said a few words for Ling Lang at the beginning......"

Thinking of his second son Tuoba Jie, Tuoba Lie frowned, held back the hatred in his heart, and said with a wry smile: "My son is rebellious, he should be asked, this matter has nothing to do with the virtuous nephew, don't blame yourself!" My family was not implicated, and I think my nephew also contributed a lot......"

Yang Ling and the others endured and did not laugh out loud.

Nothing to do with Liang Xiao? Whose subordinates captured Takuba-Jun?

Liang Xiao looked regretful, and said: "As for the business field, it is based on their own ability, and in fact, they can't complain about anyone." I think I was still a stunned young man when I first came to the capital, and I had to lose again and again. ”

Tuoba Lie was about to speak, but unexpectedly, Liang Xiao's words changed.

"However, Shibo, in fact, the competition between the two of us in the industry is not as fierce as that of the others. For individual industries, we may even have the opportunity to cooperate in the future. ”

Tuoba Lie nodded again and again: "The virtuous nephew is right!" Our family is already trying to shrink the industry and make way for the virtuous nephew! As for officialdom, can the virtuous nephew say a few kind words in front of His Majesty......"

Liang Xiao smiled and said: "This is not difficult, as long as Shibo you can support Your Majesty wholeheartedly in the future, like Prime Minister Zhuge and Yang Shangshu, consciously cooperate with Your Majesty, and Prime Minister take the lead, I will say a few more words for you, of course Your Majesty can open the net!" ”

Tuoba Lie was overjoyed.

"But, I say, Shibo, it's all about your self-awareness! At present, the Tuoba clan is still in a sensitive stage, even if His Majesty has the heart to forgive, how can she block the mouths of the people? Liang Xiao looked concerned.

Tuoba Lie said humbly: "Please also ask the virtuous nephew to teach ......"

Liang Xiao analyzed:

"At present, the Tuoba clan should make an appearance, take the initiative to stay at home, don't cause trouble to Xuanwei and Yulin Army, and then gather the children of the clan to write more beautiful words for Your Majesty, and express that they have the intention to support all the decisions of Your Majesty...... Anyway, Shibo has lived in officialdom for a long time, how to save the reputation and status of the Tuoba clan, Shibo knows better than me, right? ”

"As for the other great families, it would be great if Shibo could make them a little more restrained in the future!"

Tuoba Lie was relieved, nodded vigorously and thanked him, only to feel that his eyes suddenly opened up, and he had all kinds of calculations in his heart.

Liang Xiao specifically mentioned other families, which, in his opinion, proved that Liang Xiao also intended to improve his relationship with the Tuoba clan.

With the help of today's banquet, as long as the Tuoba clan can survive this catastrophe, it will not be too late to turn against Liang Xiao in the future!

Tuoba Lie remembered something again, and pleaded: "By the way, nephew, your newspaper is quite useful, can you also help us prepare a statement for Tuoba Clan......

Liang Xiao didn't think about it, nodded and said: "This matter is not difficult, but at the moment, the most important thing for the Tuoba clan is to gain His Majesty's trust, and if you want to regain Your Majesty's favor, it is not an overnight thing." After all, Shibo also knows that the newspaper is nominally mine, but in fact...... Anyone who understands understands! ”

"Yes! Virtuous nephews can rest assured! ”

Tuoba Lie took a deep breath and looked at the taciturn Xuanwei Commander Sima Ling.

Sima Ling understood and said solemnly: "Our family has come to attend the banquet of the Marquis of Lanling, doesn't Lord Tuoba still understand the intentions of the Lord?" ”

"My Emperor Shengming!" Tuoba Lie was in a good mood.

Liang Xiao began to persuade him to drink again.

Tuoba Lie wanted to replace wine with tea, Yang Ling pretended to be displeased and said: "Lord Tuoba, we are seniors, and our descendants will have to rely on the Marquis of Lanling to take care of you in the future, you ......"

Tuoba Lie had no choice but to add a few glasses of moonlight wine to himself.

Liang Xiao took the opportunity of Tuoba Lie's drinking, and his eyes fell on the jade pendant on Tuoba Lie's waist.

According to the intelligence, this is a rare Lantian jade, worth 10,000 taels, and has been with Tuoba Lie for more than ten years.

After three rounds of drinking, Tuoba Lie was already dazzled, not as restrained as before.

At the banquet scene, there was a sense of joy.

Even Zhuge Chengdu took the initiative to toast Tuoba Lie.

Tuoba Lie was finally relieved.

After all, the family style of the Zhuge family is very strict, and Zhuge Hui can send this eldest grandson, which is equivalent to Zhuge Hui's own statement to a certain extent.

Zhuge Hui himself has always disliked these entertainments.

Looking at Tuoba Lie, who was laughing heartily, Liang Xiao looked proud and patted the wine jar.

"What does Shibo think of my wine?"

Tuoba Lie put down his wine glass and said, "There is nothing more beautiful wine in the world than this!" ”

Liang Xiao smiled with satisfaction and said: "Today, I will release my suspicions with Shibo, and I hope that Shibo will return to officialdom in the future, and he can help him more." ”

"Don't worry! The old man has always been grateful! Tuoba Lie patted his chest and took a sip, feeling even happier.

Liang Xiao took off the jade pendant he had just found from the Dingguo Marquis Mansion from his waist, handed it to Tuoba Lie, and said, "This jade is worth a thousand gold, so I will give it to Shibo as a gift." ”

Tuoba Lie hurriedly waved his hand: "This is unacceptable!" ”

Liang Xiao insisted again and again, Tuoba Lie put on a touched face, took the jade pendant, and said with emotion: "I really have a heart." ”

Hearing this, Liang Xiao fell silent and frowned slightly.

Tuoba Lie understood and said, "The old man will also prepare one for the virtuous nephew." ”

Sima Ling frowned, and his tone was serious.

"Lord Tuoba! The Marquis of Lanling is so sincere, giving away beautiful jade, as an elder, and relying on the support of others, how can you be a valuable slut......"

Tuoba Lie saw that Sima Ling was displeased, and was anxious to curry favor with Liang Xiao in order to ease the relationship between the two sides, and after a little thought, he had no choice but to untie the jade pendant around his waist and hand it to Liang Xiao.

"Gifts are still exchanged! It is indeed the old man's rudeness, this Lantian jade is the personal baby of the old man for more than ten years, the courtesy is light and affectionate, and the nephew of Wangxian should not be disgusted! ”
