Everyone turned their heads to look at He Xiangfeng.

He Xiangfeng did not avoid the gaze of King Jiangling, bowed slightly and said: "Your Majesty, I He Xiangfeng is here on behalf of Yangzhou and the king side by side, how can I kneel?"

King Jiangling chuckled, sat on the throne, and said lightly: "You said that you represent the king side by side, what are your credentials?"

When He Xiangfeng heard this, he took out a letter from his arms, put his hands on his chest, bowed his head and said: "This is my handwritten letter from the king of Yangzhou, and I also ask the king to look at it." ”

King Gangneung nodded and said, "Present it!"

A little eunuch walked down the hall, took the letter from He Xiangfeng's hand, held it with both hands, and transferred it to King Jiangling.

King Jiangling took the letter, Zhan Xin glanced at it a few times, and sneered: "Is there no one in Yangzhou, or does the king look down on this king?

He Xiangfeng was neither humble nor arrogant: "Your Majesty, the official position is just a name for me, since the king attaches so much importance to this matter, I can immediately repair a letter to my king, and someone will send the ribbon." ”

King Jiangling snorted lightly and said, "It seems that this official in Yangzhou is like a little baby." Anyway, this king doesn't care about any of this, but this king wants to know whether this letter was written by our lord Xiangguo, or by the new successor to the throne, the king side by side?"

Just half a month ago, Luo Yuecheng issued a document announcing to the world that the king of Yangzhou was succeeded by his son Yuan Bingde.

He Xiangfeng smiled and said, "Your Majesty, can't you see it?

King Jiangling said: "I didn't expect Yuan Shixin to have already made plans, you have been carrying this letter for a long time!"

He Xiangfeng nodded and said, "Don't dare to hide it from the king, it's been more than a year!"

King Jiangling replied: "This king has underestimated your new king, so in this way, the incident in Bazhou was planned by you a long time ago?"

"Yes! Presumably, General Bu has already reported this matter to the king in detail. ”

After speaking, He Xiangfeng turned his head and glanced at Bu Ji'an.

King Jiangling put one hand on the table and patted it: "You are so bold!"

He Xiangfeng didn't seem to see that King Jiangling was already stunned, and arched his hand and said: "I have always been brave and courageous, otherwise I would not dare to stand alone in front of the king's palace." ”

King Jiangling stared at He Xiangfeng, He Xiangfeng was fearless, and met King Jiangling's gaze.

King Jiangling said lightly: "Aren't you afraid that this king will tie you up and send you to Bazhou?"

He Xiangfeng chuckled and said, "Wang Shangxiong is very talented, it won't be like this." ”

King Jiangling said: "This king doesn't play dumb riddles with you, He Xiangfeng, let me tell you, I don't care what you want to do with Bazhou, you Yangzhou can reach out to Bazhou, you have the ability, but just pull me Jingzhou into the water, isn't it too much to take this king in your eyes?"

He Xiangfeng said: "Your Majesty, after the matter is completed, He will ask the king for his guilt!"

King Jiangling glanced at He Xiangfeng and said disdainfully: "You are guilty of Jing pleading? You can't help but look down on yourself too much!"

He Xiangfeng saluted the king of Jiangling and said: "If the king wants to ask me for the blame, I will be here, and the king will take me down, but I still have to say the last sentence, although the plan is carried out from the king, but the benefits of this, the king must be clear in his heart, if there is no accident, this Bazhou ......"

With a "snap", King Jiangling threw the wine bottle on His Highness, interrupted He Xiangfeng's words, and said angrily: "Don't tell this king about your plan, this is not what this king wants to hear." He Xiangfeng, tell you, this king is very unhappy, very unhappy, if you can convince me today, this king will serve as a fine wine, but if you can't convince this king, don't blame this king for not giving him Yuan Bingde face. ”

Wei Fangu's eyes were slightly closed, and he didn't seem to see King Jiangling angry.

Sheng Luhao's body moved slightly, and just as he was about to get up, his eyes swept somewhere, and he sat back again.

Bu Ji'an couldn't sit still, after all, he was solely responsible for investigating the matter, and this He Xiangfeng could be regarded as what he introduced.

His master Zheng Xiding and his uncle Yi Zhongyuan were already in Wei Shuai's mansion.

Wei Fan Gu gave Bu Ji'an a lot of face, and he was commensurate with Zheng Xiding's brother.

Bu Ji'an once probed Wei Shuai, what is the attitude of the king.

Wei Fan Gu only said one sentence to him, then He Xiangfeng has arrived in this Xiangyang City, what do you say is the attitude of the king?

Bu Ji'an seemed to understand what the king was thinking.

But Wei Shuai didn't seem to be a little happy.

He didn't dare to ask more, in Wei Shuai's mansion, he was at most accompanying his master and uncle to chat with Wei Shuai about the feelings of the sect.

In fact, regardless of asking, Bu Ji'an can also guess that Wei Shuai is unwilling to use troops against Bazhou, and when he formed an alliance with Bazhou, Wei Shuai strongly agreed with this matter.

At that time, Lord Anshuan also advocated an alliance with Bazhou.

But since this Mr. He stepped into the main hall, King Jiangling, as the master, didn't seem to have the attitude that an ally should have, and he was so aggressive as soon as he came up.

If he stood in the hall in Bu Ji'an, I was afraid that he would not be able to stand it a long time ago.

Bu Ji'an quietly looked at King Jiangling, and just happened to touch King Jiangling's gaze.

Frightened, he hurriedly turned his head and looked down at the wine and food in front of him.

After following King Gangneung for so many years, if he couldn't even figure out what the king's gaze meant, he wouldn't be able to sit in the position he is in now.

He Xiangfeng took a few steps forward, picked up the silver wine bottle, held it in the palm of his hand, and saluted King Jiangling again: "Thank you for the reward!"

Seeing this, King Jiangling laughed loudly and said, "Okay, good, you are very witty, no wonder he Yuan Bingde can send you!"

After speaking, he waved his hand and said, "Mr. He, please sit down and taste our Jingzhou peach blossom brew." ”

"Thank you, the king!"

After thanking King Jiangling, He Xiangfeng took the wine bottle into his arms, turned around and entered the table, and saw a glance from Bu Ji'an on the opposite side, and he nodded.

King Gangneung spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, everyone knows what this king is doing today, so this king will not say more. Mr. He has come to my Jingzhou, and whether the alliance with Yangzhou can be negotiated is not mentioned first, our hospitality gift is indispensable, so as not to make people laugh at the king's small belly chicken intestines. Come, let's first salute Mr. He, who represents the king side by side!"

The waiter on the side had already re-poured the wine, and King Jiangling picked up the wine bottle and gestured to He Xiangfeng.

He Xiangfeng stood up, raised the bottle with both hands, saluted and said, "Thank you, Wang!"

After speaking, he gave a false salute to Wei Fan and Gu San, and after saluting, he drank it all.

King Jiangling took a sip, put the wine bottle on the table, and smiled at He Xiangfeng: "Mr. He doesn't need to be so formal, just drink freely." ”

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Wei Fan Gu and said, "Wei Shuai, this king heard that the two masters of Ziyang Pavilion have also arrived in Xiangyang City, and now they are in your mansion, why didn't they call them to the banquet together?"

Wei Fan Gu opened his eyes slightly, turned sideways and said to King Jiangling: "Your Majesty, my two junior disciples do not have official positions, so they are not suitable to participate in the king's banquet. ”

King Jiangling smiled and said: "Actually, it's okay, isn't this Mr. He also white? Coincidentally, Wei Shuai, Vice Marshal Sheng, and General Bu are all disciples of Ziyang Pavilion, it seems that my Jingzhou is inseparable from Ziyang Pavilion!"

Buyoshi was taken aback.

Wei Fan's face moved slightly, but he didn't speak.

Sheng Luhao picked up his wine glass and stood up and bowed slightly to King Jiangling and said: "Your Majesty, the minister said something that I don't like, this Ziyang Pavilion is my Ziyang Pavilion in Jingzhou, as long as the king says a word, it is not impossible to build a Green Yang Pavilion tomorrow, and another Hongyang Pavilion the day after tomorrow, how can I say that Jingzhou is inseparable from Ziyang Pavilion?"

Bu Ji'an frowned slightly, even if Vice Marshal Sheng wanted to please the king, he didn't need to say such words.

Wei Fan Gu glanced at Sheng Luhao.

After hearing Sheng Luhao's words, King Jiangling's heart moved slightly, and he looked up at Sheng Luhao and said: "Deputy Marshal Sheng, this person, you must know how to be grateful, you were born in Ziyang Pavilion, this is a well-known thing, today you say this, so that others can hear, what should you think?"

Sheng Luhao said: "I only have Jingzhou in my heart, only the king, why should I care about the words of others?"

At this time, He Xiangfeng smiled and said: "Vice Marshal Sheng, there is only Jingzhou in my heart, He admires it in my heart, and I salute Vice Marshal for a cup!"

Sheng Luhao turned to look at He Xiangfeng, nodded, and drank all the wine in the cup.

After He Xiangfeng drained the wine in the cup, he said to King Jiangling: "If the king can have a loyal person like Vice Marshal Sheng by his side, why worry about not succeeding in a big deal?"

After speaking, He Xiangfeng's gaze glanced at Wei Fan Gu with a blank look.

At this time, Wei Fangu raised his wine glass, but did not salute He Xiangfeng, but came to the king of Jiangling and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister is old and too strong to drink, so he will retire first." ”

After drinking the wine in the cup, Wei Fan Gu put down the wine glass and got up to leave.

King Jiangling's face was a little unpleasant, but he didn't say anything, just watched Wei Fangu leave.

He knew that it was Wei Fan Gu who didn't want to see this envoy from Yangzhou.

Now Wei Fangu does not disagree with the use of troops against Bazhou, he only opposes an alliance with Yangzhou.

His reason is very simple, even if he Jingzhou sends troops to attack Bazhou, Wuling City in the east will not have to defend him Yangzhou?

Yangzhou can stretch out its hand to Bazhou, this Jingzhou, will be fine?

In fact, what King Jiangling said to He Xiangfeng in front of the palace was true, he was unhappy, very unhappy.

Yangzhou did this to force him to turn his face with Bazhou, and King Jiangling didn't like this passive feeling.

Even the Wanqi Pavilion in his Jingzhou has become a gun in Yangzhou, and he Xie Liangchen can't swallow this breath.

The small Wanqi Pavilion, a gang in the rivers and lakes, is gone, if it is a vendetta in the rivers and lakes, how can he take it to heart.

The people of Ziyang Pavilion are still involved, isn't this a slap in the face?

Sheng Luhao is right, it's time for this Ziyang Pavilion to change its name.

King Jiangling was able to sit here and watch He Xiangfeng drink because An Xiu persuaded him.

If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, but King Jiangling wants to take a look, what is the sincerity that Yangzhou gave him?

He Xiangfeng didn't expect Wei Fan Gu to be so faceless, not his own face, but not even the face of King Jiangling.

Sheng Luhao looked at He Xiangfeng and said, "Mr. He, Wei Shuai is indeed a little unwell, don't mind, sir." ”

He Xiangfeng smiled: "Vice Marshal Sheng is polite!"

At this time, King Jiangling also stood up and said, "Vice Marshal Sheng, General Bu, treat Mr. He well for this king, this king is a little tired, so he won't drink much!"

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and turned away.

The three of them got up and saluted the departing King of Gangneung.

After sitting down again, Sheng Luhao picked up his wine glass and looked at He Xiangfeng and said, "Mr. He, come, let's continue!"

He Xiangfeng picked up his wine glass, but he was speculating in his heart, why did this King of Jiangling also get up and leave, was it because of Wei Fangu's departure?

King Gangneung came to the apse, his face pale.

An Xiu, who had been hiding in the apse, greeted him.

Seeing that he was about to salute, King Jiangling waved his hand and said: "These false gifts are exempt, An Xiu, this king really can't bear it, you have also seen that his little Yangzhou envoy is so arrogant, he doesn't put this king in his eyes at all, and Wei Shuai is so angry that he leaves the table." ”

An Xiu shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, Wei Shuai may not be angry when he leaves the table, because he knows that the King must not be able to sit still, and the King must not blame Wei Shuai for being rude." ”

King Jiangling suddenly realized: "No wonder, this king has never seen Wei Shuai behave so rudely. ”

An Xiu continued: "Your Majesty, He Xiangfeng really deserves to be killed, and if he keeps this person, it will be a big disaster for me in Jingzhou in the future, but now is not the time." ”

King Jiangling said hatefully: "If he can't tell the reason, this king will definitely kill him!"

An Xiu comforted: "Let the king be wronged! But in my opinion, he He Xiangfeng seems to be in his chest. ”

King Jiangling groaned: "He is so sure, is he going to send someone to assassinate Fan Jingtian?" It is unlikely, everyone knows about Qingzhou, I don't believe that Fan Jingtian is defenseless, maybe he still wants to attack Pingnan City, but that incident is already a shock, what else can he do?"

An Xiu nodded and said: "This is why I want to hear what he He Xiangfeng wants to do, Your Majesty, as long as others are in Xiangyang City, under our noses, are you afraid that he will not be able to escape?"

King Jiangling glanced at An Xiu and asked, "What did you say about that matter?"

An Xiu smiled: "Coincidentally, the little girl has been crazy outside for more than half a year, and she finally returned home a few days ago, but she brought me back with good news." ”

"What's the good news? But what does it have to do with what you said?"

An Xiu nodded and said: "This matter is exactly as far from what I guessed, as long as I invite two more people to Xiangyang City to confirm it, I will be very sure." ”

King Gangneung asked, "Which two?"

An Xiu smiled slightly, "It's Mr. Tao who wrote the "Peach Blossom Spring" back then, and a country boy!"
