"General Luoyang's pawn, Qi Tai, the housekeeper of the General's Mansion, was ordered to come to visit the Lord of Luo's Mansion!"

With a hearty and confident laugh, a gray-haired sixty-year-old man stepped into the hall with two servants. The three of them are all dressed in Mongolian costumes, and the old man wears a bowler-topped standing brimmed hat with two streamers hanging down, and his spirit is Zhai Shuo and his spirit is radiant.

As soon as he entered the middle hall, Qi Tai first bowed respectfully to Luo Tianjin, who was in the first place, then turned around and bowed to Ling Xiaoxiao, and then bowed his fists to Xie Xuan, Deng Changchuan, Luo Hongxuan, Liu Xunyi and others in turn. From beginning to end, Luo Tianjin never said a word, it was all Qi Tai's initiative.

"Steward Qi doesn't have to be polite. Luo Tianjin waited for Qi Tai to finish his salute, and then said softly, "I don't know what you have to do with a late-night visit?"

In the face of Luo Tianjin's knowingly question, Qi Tai was still full of smiles, he did not rush to answer Luo Tianjin's question, but waved his hand to the two entourages behind him and opened the gift boxes in their arms. The box is full of golden ingots, and under the reflection of candlelight, the big gold ingots are shining brightly and are particularly eye-catching.

Take out any of these gold ingots, which is enough to support an ordinary family for several years without worrying about food and clothing. And at this moment, in these two gift boxes, there are as many as thirty such precious gold ingots.

Qi Tai smiled and bowed to Luo Tianjin: "This is a little bit of our lord's heart, and I hope that the lord of Luo Mansion will smile!"

"Luo Mou has always been useless, I don't quite understand what General Wang means?" Facing the priceless gold ingots, Luo Tianjin didn't even raise his eyelids, his tone was as flat as water, and even a little impatient.

Qi Tai said with a smile: "Today in the Donghai Teahouse, my little prince had some small misunderstandings with Luo Gongzi and others. The prince was extremely angry when he learned about this, and he severely punished the little prince, and specially ordered the little old man to come to make amends to the lord of Luofu with some small gifts!"

"Oh?" Luo Tianjin raised his eyebrows, pretending to look at Luo Hongxuan, Lin Fangda and the others, and asked lightly, "Who collided with the little prince in the Donghai Teahouse today?"

"Don't dare, don't dare! Today's matter has been ascertained by the prince, it is the little prince who is reckless first, and it has nothing to do with Luo Gongzi and his party. Qi Tai hurriedly explained, "In addition to these thin gifts, the prince will also prepare a little wine in the General's Mansion tomorrow evening, hoping that the lord of the Luo Mansion and the young talents of the Xian Wang's Mansion will not hesitate to appreciate the light." With that, Qi Tai's shrewd eyes stared at Luo Tianjin, as if he was expecting his reply.

"Since General Wang is warmly invited, how dare Luo not know how to lift?" Luo Tianjin smiled slightly, but before Qi Tai could agree with joy, he suddenly changed his words and said with a smile, "Actually, Luo Mou has long been acquainted with General Wang, but when General Wang first arrived in Luoyang, he has been busy with official business for months, so Luo Mou did not dare to take the liberty of begging for mercy." Since General Wang has little leisure tomorrow evening, how dare he bother the general to prepare wine? I would like to ask Steward Qi to go back and tell General Wang, that he will say that tomorrow evening, Luo will hold a banquet in Tianxianglou, and come to pick up the wind and wash the dust for General Wang, who has come from afar, so as to fulfill the friendship of the landlord. Second, I would like to take this opportunity to make friends with General Wang. ”

"This ......"

"As for the matter of the Donghai Teahouse, Luo will inquire about it later, and he will definitely give General Wang and the little prince an explanation tomorrow night. Without waiting for Qi Tai to hesitate, Luo Tianjin continued to take care of himself, "As for these gold ingots, Luo is really ashamed of them, so I will bother Steward Qi to take them back!"

"Lord Luofu, this matter ...... It's my lord's lord, so how can I let the lord of Luofu break the bank?" Qi Tai argued.

"Huh!" Luo Tianjin waved his hand and smiled nonchalantly, "General Wang has just arrived in the Central Plains, how can he not taste the local delicacies of Luoyang? Hehe......"

Seeing Luo Tianjin's confident appearance, Qi Tai knew that it was impossible for him to persuade him to go to the General's Mansion for a banquet tomorrow, so he thought about it for a while, and reluctantly agreed: "Since the Lord of the Luo Mansion is gracious, then the little old man should go back and tell the prince, I will thank the Lord of the Luo Mansion for the prince's kindness first." ”

"Where!" Luo Tianjin smiled lightly, "It is a blessing for Luo to feast General Wang, but tomorrow I will have to trouble General Wang and the little prince to move to Tianxiang Tower." ”

Qi Tai looked around, his eyes paused slightly on Lin Fangda and Liu Xunyi, and said, "Presumably the two of you are Lin Shaoxia and Liu Shaoxia, right?" The reason why Qi Tai knew them was because of Wang Qingshu's detailed description of the appearance of the two of them.

"So what?" replied Lin Fangda angrily.

"Oh!" Qi Tai was not annoyed, but turned his gaze to Luo Tianjin, and said with a smile, "Before coming here, the prince specially explained that Lin Shaoxia and Liu Shaoxia will be invited to appreciate their faces at tomorrow's banquet, and the prince will ask the little prince to make amends to the two of them in person." ”

"Don't go ......"

"Ahem!" Without waiting for Lin Fangda to subconsciously refute, Luo Hongxuan, who was sitting on the side, suddenly coughed lightly twice, interrupting Lin Fangda's words, and then arched his hand to Qi Tai, "Please also tell General Wang that if there is no accident tomorrow, they will definitely go to Tianxianglou to serve tea to General Wang and the little prince to admit their mistakes." ”

"I ......"

"That's very good!" Qi Tai rushed to answer before Lin Fang was furious, and turned to Luo Tianjin's farewell, "It's getting late, little old man doesn't dare to disturb too much, so he will say goodbye first." ”

"Go back and greet General Wang for me. Luo Tianjin nodded and smiled, "And these gold ingots......"

"The rule of the General's Mansion is that what is given away will never be taken back. Qi Tai said frankly, "If these things are not in line with the Luo Mansion Lord's wishes, let them be discarded." ”

After that, without waiting for Luo Tianjin to speak again, Qi Tai had already ordered someone to put two boxes of gold ingots on the ground, and he retreated, quickly leading people out of King Xian's mansion.

"How can there be such a person in the world?" After Qi Tai walked away, Luo Ningyu, who had been holding back for a long time, smiled impatiently, "I've only seen someone desperately trying to get the gold ingots, but it's the first time I've seen someone push so many gold ingots out. It's so much fun!"

After that, Luo Ningyu hurriedly turned his gaze to Luo Tianjin, who was full of contemplation, and asked curiously: "Dad is the King of Beixian, and it is natural for General Wang to invite his father to dinner, why does Dad have to invite him in turn?"

"My little sister is wrong. Luo Hongxuan explained, "With only one Wang Xutong, of course, he is not qualified to sit on an equal footing with his father, but the forces behind it should not be underestimated." In fact, there are three real reasons why my father invited him in turn, one is to guard against people, Wang Xutong wants to set up a banquet in the General's Mansion, but after all, it is his territory, and the wine, food, slaves, and cooks are all his, and it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be a Hongmen banquet, so in order to avoid being ambushed by mistake, Dad chose not to go to the General's Mansion to the banquet. The second and third are exactly what my father just said, 'to fulfill the friendship of the landlord' is actually to knock on the side, so that Wang Xutong can understand who is the lord and who is the guest in Luoyang City, and 'making friends with Wang Xutong' is to spy on his details and find out his true intentions towards our Xian Wangfu. ”

"That's good!" Su Tang nodded, "Before, the mansion master said that he couldn't guess what kind of medicine was sold in Wang Xutong's gourd, and a wine banquet tomorrow night was to explore Wang Xutong's reality. ”

Luo Ningyu had never thought about things so complicated, and she could only stick out her tongue in a daze, and turned to look at the thoughtful Liu Xunyi, and asked, "Will you go to Wang Qingshu to offer tea tomorrow and admit your mistake?"

Liu Xunyi has been secretly thinking about Wang Xutong's true intention to invite Luo Tianjin to the banquet, and at the same time, he is constantly figuring out Luo Tianjin's true attitude towards the Mongols. I thought to myself: "Wang Xu must have come prepared, with the intention of winning over Luo Tianjin, but what is Luo Tianjin's mind at the moment? Does he intend to make friends with the Mongolian court? If they hit it off, wouldn't that add fuel to the fire for the Great Song court? For my mission, it would be tantamount to a catastrophe." ”

"Liu Xunyi?"

Because Liu Xunyi was deep in thought, he didn't pay attention to Luo Ningyu's question, and it wasn't until Luo Ningyu called his name again and again that he suddenly woke up, looked at Luo Ningyu blankly, and muttered, "What did you say?"

"I'm asking if you will go to Tianxiang Mansion tomorrow night to serve tea to Wang Qingshu and admit your mistake?" Luo Ningyu muttered with a little dissatisfaction.

At this moment, Luo Tianjin's gaze inadvertently fell on Liu Xunyi, and a touch of scrutiny appeared in his intriguing eyes, as if he was quite interested in Liu Xunyi's answer.

"Anyway, I'm not going!" Lin Fang waved his hand and said indignantly, "If you want me to serve tea to that bastard and admit my mistake, it is better to kill me with a knife!"

"Lin Fangda, don't mess around!" Su Tang reprimanded, "Whether you go tomorrow or not, you have to listen to the mansion master's will, and you can't make your own decisions." Even if you die, you'll have to wait until tomorrow before you die!"

"But I ......"

"Looking for clothes. Luo Tianjin suddenly spoke, "You haven't answered Yu'er's question yet." ”

Luo Tianjin's inexplicable words made Liu Xunyi's heart sink, and he quickly calculated the intention of Luo Tianjin's words in his mind, and his eyes subconsciously turned left and right, but he didn't answer for a long time.

"Liu Xunyi?" Luo Ningyu shouted angrily, "Are you wood? ignore me, even dare to ignore my father's words?"

"Huh?" Liu Xunyi was startled and hurriedly replied, "I was thinking about what I would say after meeting that little prince tomorrow, and whether he would take the opportunity to deliberately make things difficult for us?"

Luo Ningyu frowned when she heard this, and said in surprise: "Listen to you...... Are you planning to give in to Wang Qingshu? Hmph! It's really spineless!"

"The mansion master doesn't want to have a bad relationship with General Wang, how can I make trouble for the mansion?" Liu Xunyi smiled bitterly, "In order to take care of the overall situation, what is it for me to admit my mistake? Moreover, Wang Xutong and Wang Qingshu have already been named, if my eldest brother and I refuse to go, won't we embarrass the mansion master?"

The reason why Liu Xunyi is determined to go to Tianxianglou tomorrow night is not to admit his mistake, but to try to destroy this banquet, and he must not let Wang Xutong and Luo Tianjin end successfully.

Even at the risk of being punished by Luo Tianjin, Liu Xunyi had to deliberately make trouble. And the key lies in the section of "serving tea and admitting mistakes", it may not be easy to provoke Wang Xutong and Luo Tianjin, but it is easy to provoke Wang Qingshu. As long as the two sides have a stalemate at the banquet, or even to the point of being out of control, then Liu Xunyi will be considered a success.

"Big brother, what do you say?" Liu Xunyi showed his "loyalty", and even pulled Lin Fangda into the camp of "serving tea and admitting mistakes".

"This ......" Lin Fangda looked at Luo Tianjin hesitantly, thinking about it again and again, before he nodded reluctantly, "If it is for the sake of the overall situation, I am willing to admit my mistake with a clear conscience." ”

"So good......

"I don't think I have to spend this time!" Before Luo Hongxuan, who was nervous, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Luo Tianjin, who looked strange, squinted his eyes, stared at Liu Xunyi with deep meaning, and suddenly said, "You two don't have to go to Tianxianglou tomorrow, and you don't have to grovel to Wang Qingshu." ”

"What?" Liu Xunyi didn't expect Luo Tianjin to make such a decision, so he hurriedly said, "If we don't go, Wang Qingshu will definitely not give up, isn't it ......?"

"What's the point of worrying about trivial matters? I have more important things to tell you now. Lin Fangda, Liu Xunyi, you go back to pack up now, come to the study to find me at the beginning of the hour, and leave Luoyang City before dawn. ”
