The court officials had already seen Ling Ye and Leng Rufrost who were following Wu Peng. Leng Rushuang estimated that they knew each other, and as for Ling Ye, although they knew, they probably didn't understand why Wu Peng invited him to come, and he was so solemn, and they couldn't help but be stunned for a while.

Those who are officials in the imperial capital are Beijing officials, all of them are elites, and the people they make friends with on weekdays are either high-ranking officials or dignitaries. First, everyone is a nobleman and has a common word and interests, and second, this is a sedan chair carrying people and taking care of each other. As for the common untouchables, they will not befriend, because there is no use to them.

Who is Ling Ye? Although he is a little smart, he is indeed famous these days, but he does not understand etiquette and rules, and secondly, he is just a small soldier of the Wolf Guard from a poor background. So...... As the commander of the million-strong army, what did Wu Peng do so politely to such a top-heavy and shallow-rooted mountain boy?

Dingguo Duke Lu Tianming glanced at Ling Ye a few times, smiled, and arched his hand: "The old man Dingguo Duke Lu Tianming has seen this Ling ...... Hmm, Ling Gongzi!"

Wu Peng tilted his head and glanced at Ling Ye meaningfully. Ling Ye's expression did not move, and he returned the salute without humility or arrogance: "In the Lower Wolf Guard, I have seen Lord Lu in the night!"

In his heart, how could he not know that Lu Tianming deliberately brought an official title when he reported his home, which was actually an invisible coercion. Except for the servants and maids, among the rest of the people, Ling Ye is the only one who does not have any official rank, let alone status. Wu Peng also heard this meaning, but it was inconvenient to point it out openly, so he saw how Ling Ye responded.

Hearing Ling Ye's humble and arrogant response, standing in front of a high-ranking and powerful Dingguo Gong, he also looked calm, Leng Rushuang couldn't help but glance at him, obviously his outlook had changed.

Since Lu Tianming started, the next people also understood it, and bowed to Ling Ye one by one and reported to their homes. These people are all dignitaries, and when they report their homes, they are either a certain prince and a certain uncle, or a certain Shangshu, a certain squire, a certain general, the left general Liu Quan and the right general Zheng Ming are also among them.

In the face of dignitaries and dignitaries, Ling Ye replied politely with a calm expression, neither flattering nor rude from beginning to end. Everyone saw that the official position had no coercive effect, and they couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

Wu Peng saw it in his eyes, but he didn't break it, and when he saw that everyone was done, he smiled and said, "Everyone, please sit down and drink the bar!" said and took Ling Ye's hand, walked straight to the main seat and sat down, and said to Ling Ye: "You just sit next to me!"

Ling Ye felt the gazes of a group of dignitaries, some of them were puzzled, some were jealous, and some of them looked immovable, but they were obviously thinking about something.

How could he not know that this was obviously deliberate by Wu Peng. Among so many guests, Ling Ye is a person who does not have an official title, nor is he a relative of Wu Peng, according to the order of seats, no matter what, it is not Ling Ye's turn to sit next to the main seat.

Leng Rushuang doesn't know who Wu Peng is, but he is obviously qualified to sit next to the main seat, as for you Ling Ye, that's hehe.

However, everyone here is a good person who is used to being an official, and although he has a lot of ideas in his heart, he is still smiling and harmonious on the surface. Ling Ye knew in his heart that under the calm here, there were many hidden dangers.

Leng Rushuang shouted, and a group of maids holding wine bottles stepped forward to pour wine for everyone. Ling Ye didn't know what kind of wine it was, but looking at the smooth and elegant bottle, the wine poured out was amber, and the aroma of the wine was mixed with a faint sweet aroma, and he didn't need to ask to know that this was a precious wine that only the best people could afford to drink.

It's just that Ling Ye doesn't drink much, so what can I do?

After three rounds of wine, Lu Tianming, the Duke of Dingguo, was the first to stand up with a wine glass. The other person sat at the bottom of the night, and at this moment he smiled at Wu Peng with a wine glass and said, "Wu Peng, how many years have we been drinking, you won't mind if you don't respect you today, right?" 3800

Wu Peng smiled and said, "Dingguo Gong, please feel free, how dare I mind?"

Lu Tianming smiled, turned to Ling Ye on the side and said, "Ling Gongzi, although you have just arrived in the imperial capital, you have done something famous as soon as you came, and the entire imperial capital is talking about your name and deeds. The old man has been an official for decades, but it is the first time I have seen a young hero like you! You are a young hero, and you do things that are clean and beautiful, and the old man admires them very much! Come, I toast you!"

Ling Ye also stood up with a wine glass, returned the salute to Lu Tianming, and said lightly: "Lord Lu is polite." I just happened to run into it!"

Lu Tianming laughed and said, "The old man will do it first as a respect!" As he spoke, he flipped over the wine glass and drank it all.

Ling Ye thanked Bumin: "I'm sorry, my father has a strict discipline and prohibits drinking." Therefore, I can only taste it and talk about the meaning. He really only took a shallow sip of it.

The faces of many people at the table suddenly changed drastically. Lu Tianming is the Duke of Dingguo, the first assistant of Emperor Shenwu, and he is a figure above 10,000 people under one person in the current dynasty, with high power and dominance. What is Ling Ye's identity, when people toast him to Shoufu, it is already tormenting him, and he still dares not toast?

Is this eating the bear's heart and leopard's gall, deliberately giving the country an ugly look?

Leng Rushuang was originally sitting on the seat, but at this time, he also looked at Ling Ye, with a little surprise in his eyes.

Wu Peng squinted his eyes slightly, his eyes flickering slightly.

Lu Tianming's old face also changed color slightly, and then he smiled and said: "The family education is strict, the old man admires it! I don't know where Ling Gongzi's ancestor is? Who is Ling Yan?"

Ling Ye said lightly: "It grows between the barren mountains and mountains of Gyeongju. My father is just a hunter in the mountains, and his name is not enough to worry about, so don't say it!"

Lu Tianming laughed and said, "Ling Gongzi said that he was laughing. How could Yamano Murafu teach a boy as smart and clever as you? Impossible, impossible!"

Ling Ye said lightly: "Yes, I remember, a few days ago, you reprimanded the emperor for not knowing etiquette, but a mountain and village man." Why did you change your words today? Is it because you are a guest of Marshal Wu Peng, and the guest is noble, or is it because you are so old that you have forgotten what you said a few days ago?"

With a thud, the cold frost on the side squirted out. She knew that she was rude, so she quickly lowered her head and kept coughing to cover up. The maid behind her was very sensible, and immediately came up to give her a gentle backbeat.

Wu Peng's expression was still unmoving, but everyone looked strange, and their eyes changed when they looked at Ling Ye - this young man was silent, but he sarcastically mocked Lu Tianming with a few words.

What is the origin of this young man? Why don't you even give face to be the first assistant of the court?
