Chapter 17: The atmosphere of saber rattling

Xiao Xian, as the head of the East Palace's Internal Affairs Office, was asked to accompany Shen Yue, although he was a little unhappy, but in the end he compromised.

At this time, Xiao Xian set his sights on King Jin not far away, this prince has always been at odds with the crown prince and is also one of the popular candidates for the throne.

The King of Jin kept looking at the crown prince Gao Zongxian in the distance, with a sinister smile on his face.

"It seems that His Royal Highness the King of Jin intends to deal with the crown prince, but it is not so easy." Xiao Xian thought secretly in his heart.

He believed that with Gao Zongxian's character, he would never agree to anyone easily.

Gao Zongxian was also very uncomfortable with the gaze coming from afar, so he thought about it for a while.

Raising a glass to King Jin, this scene made Xiao Xian sneer in his heart.

"King Jin, I salute you for a cup!" Gao Zongxian picked up the wine pot and poured wine into the wine cup in front of him.

"Your Highness."

As he spoke, King Jin raised the wine cup and drank it all with his head up.

Seeing this, Gao Zongxian also raised his head and drank it, but his face was slightly red, obviously this glass of wine was a little strong.

After putting down the wine cup, Gao Zongxian looked at King Jin with a smile, as if he wanted to find the flaws in his younger brother.

King Jin's gaze directly met him, his eyes flashed with a gleam, and then the corners of his mouth hooked up a curvature.

"Your Highness has a good amount of wine, come, let's continue!" Gao Zongxian said with a smile.

"Accompany you to the end!" King Jin said boldly, and then picked up the wine cup.

Gao Zongxian touched it, raised his head and snorted.

"Happy!" Gao Zongxian laughed, and then raised the wine cup on the table.

"Please." King Jin also smiled and raised the wine cup, and also drank it in one gulp.

Next, the two of you come and go, you toast me, I toast you, and before you know it, a jar of wine is finished by the two.

Xiao Xian only felt speechless for a while, otherwise how could he say that this Gao Zongxian was just a martial artist, and the methods were so simple and rude.

Originally, Xiao Xian didn't want to care about it, but he saw that the atmosphere in the banquet hall gradually became weird.

Now that he has come this far, then he will help to grasp it, so that he will not cause trouble again.

Thinking so, Xiao Xian raised the wine bottle and walked towards King Jin in the distance.

"Your Highness, Weichen is brave and wants to have a drink with you."

Hearing his words, King Jin turned his head to look at him, slightly stunned, and then furious.

"What are you! Dare to drink with this king! ”

Xiao Xian showed an embarrassed look on his face, and then explained: "Your Highness is angry, this manager is just a toast, and he doesn't mean to offend His Highness." ”

"Toast? You are a slave, how dare you talk to this king like this, you are arrogant, and you should punish the nine clans according to the law! King Jin pointed at Xiao Xian and scolded sharply.

Hearing his words, Xiao Xian's face remained unchanged and he remained calm.

"Your Highness's words are wrong, this manager is just toasting you on behalf of His Highness, how can it become an arrogance?"

"You!" After listening to his words, King Jin was stunned for a moment and did not refute for a long time.

"Your Highness, today is the day of the nations to come to you, if you insist on doing so, you will look small-bellied." Xiao Xian said with a smile.

"Humph!" King Jin snorted coldly, the corners of his mouth twitched constantly, he didn't expect this little eunuch to be so sharp-toothed, it was really annoying.

But because of so many pairs of eyes staring around, he had to hold back the resentment in his heart and raised the wine cup to signal to Xiao Xian.

Xiao Xian immediately returned the salute, and then took the wine cup in front of him and drank it all.

Seeing such a scene, the surrounding ministers also looked at each other, and they didn't know how to react for a while.

"Come, let's continue, Your Highness, please!" Xiao Xian said with a smile.

King Jin gritted his teeth and glared at him, then picked up the wine cup and drank it all with his head up.

There was only one person in the court who cast an appreciative look at Xiao Xian, and it was the Taishi Xiao Zhengguo.

"Xian'er can have such courage, it seems that the future plan can speed up the process." Xiao Zhengguo thought to himself.

"Hmph, let's be arrogant first, and we'll see if you can laugh later." King Jin thought hatefully in his heart.

The atmosphere in the banquet hall began to grow strange, and everyone felt a strong smell of gunpowder in the air.

Xiao Xian laughed and scolded King Jin, and every time King Jin was about to go crazy, Xiao Xian just rightly diverted the topic.

"Your Highness, why is your face a little red, have you drunk too much?"

"Nonsense, Lonely's alcohol is famous all over the world, how can he be drunk." King Jin was furious.

"Your Majesty has arrived!" At this moment, a singing voice suddenly sounded at the door.

Gao Zongxian suddenly stood up, and the other people hurriedly knelt down to greet him.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Gao Sheng walked into the banquet hall with a smile and sat down next to Gao Zongxian.

"Envoys of various countries, flat!"

As his voice fell, everyone stood up.

"Today is the festival of Da Chu, and we invite envoys from all countries to the banquet, hoping that the friendship between all countries will last forever!" Gao Sheng said with a smile.

Gao Zongxian immediately stood up, took a glass of wine, and took the lead in saying: "Father's holy life is boundless!" ”

"Long live my father, long live, long live!"

Gao Sheng raised the wine cup and took a sip, then looked at the ministers below and said slowly: "I am hosting a banquet for the envoys of various countries today, in order to promote the exchange and harmony between my Great Chu and the surrounding countries, so as to make the Great Chu more prosperous, and I salute the envoys of various countries!" ”

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

"The envoys of various countries have worked hard, come, do it!" Gao Sheng raised the wine glass in his hand again, gestured to the envoys below, and then raised his head and drank it all.

"Your Majesty is wise!" The crowd shouted in unison.

"Envoys, please!"

As Gao Sheng's voice fell, the envoys of various countries raised their glasses and drank them all.

"Father, the child toasts you." King Jin also raised his wine glass and said respectfully with a face.

Gao Sheng looked at King Jin and nodded, reached out and picked up the wine jar and poured him a glass of wine, then looked at the envoys with a smile and asked, "Everyone, what do you think of this wine?" ”

"Your Majesty's wine is really hard to find in the world, and it is endlessly memorable." The blonde man at the head of the mission exclaimed.

"That's good." Gao Sheng had a satisfied smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's ......" At this time, suddenly a minister stood up and said, "The minister has an uninvited request, and I hope Your Majesty will agree." ”

Gao Sheng's brows furrowed, a trace of displeasure appeared on his face, and after a moment of silence, he slowly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Your Majesty, today coincides with a grand event, why don't I let the warriors of the South Vietnamese countries compete with your country, which can also be regarded as fun, I wonder if Your Majesty can allow it?"

Hearing the words of the minister of South Vietnam, Gao Sheng's eyes rolled around, and he seemed to be hesitating. ”
