"However, I have been bothering Sect Master Xu here for many days. I have decided not to bother anymore and will leave tomorrow to return to the capital of Pingcheng. After responding, he said what he was going to do.

"It's a long way to the north, and the king of Anbei cherishes it all the way. Sima asked after hearing this, and then said goodbye and returned to the side courtyard.

Langya was still waiting at the door of the house, and when she saw him come back, she seemed to have forgotten about yesterday's events, and happily stepped forward to be intimate. Sima didn't bother to ask and took her into the house.

When he was in the secret room before, he spent a lot of aura because of the stimulation of the demon element. Although I have recovered a bit, I still feel tired at the moment. Once inside, he leaned directly against the bedpost to take a nap.

When you wake up, the time will pass.

In the old days, there would have been servants who would have brought the evening meal. But today for some unknown reason, no one has come until now. Sima Wenzhi got up and got out of bed, wanting to go out to check.

As soon as I got out of bed, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and after a few breaths, there was a knock at the door.

The person who came was sent by Xu Bing, and he did not enter the house, but only informed him outside the house, asking him to go to the middle hall of the main courtyard to rush to the banquet.

Sima asked him to answer, and left shortly after the servant left.

Tuoba Longyang is about to return to Kyoto tomorrow, and it is expected to set up a banquet for him today. Sima Wenzhi originally thought that it had nothing to do with him, but he never thought that he would also be invited to the banquet.

Not only relevant, but crucial.

In the afternoon, when Budui departed, he left most of the guards behind, and only took with him a few retinue ministers. However, the guards on the banquet could not sit down, so in addition to the main seat in the middle, the first two rows of seats were mostly from the Xu clan.

After arriving at the middle hall, Xu Bingjin took the initiative to step forward, leading him straight to the top and sitting on the top of the Xu clan's side.

The meaning of this location is profound.

After a few things, Xu Bingjin already regarded him as his own person and the most important member.

After the banquet began, Xu Bing made a toast as the host.

Tuoba Longyang sent someone to inform him of the decision to leave, but it was not unexpected by everyone, and the first toast was for his imminent departure.

Another toast was somewhat unexpected.

Before toasting, Xu Bing walked up to Sima Wenzhi's side, and in front of the royal guests and a group of clansmen, he asked him to deign to be a banquet in the castle and teach Xu Fengming grammar and skills.

When he was in Jiankang that year, this scene also appeared in Wang Yuanming's mansion. It's just that compared with Wang Jizhi, Xu Fengming has already tied his hair, and his skills and temperament have already been set, and hiring him to be a western seat is more of a superficial meaning.

Xu Bingjin hadn't disclosed this matter before, and Sima didn't think about it, and after hearing the request, he didn't know how to respond for a while.

"Sect Master Xu, I'm afraid Senior Brother won't be able to agree to you in this matter. Tuoba Longyang saw the doorway and immediately spoke.

"What did King Anbei say?" Xu Bingjin was still waiting for a reply, and immediately asked when he heard such words.

"Earlier in the afternoon, when my brother went to my place, he had already agreed. I went to Pingcheng for more than a thousand miles, and he would protect me in case of accidents. Tuoba Longyang said the reason.

Sima Wenzhi did go to his house in the afternoon, and he did have a conversation. However, the promise to go to Kyoto with him was deliberately fabricated on his improvised initiative.

Xu Bing didn't believe it after hearing this, and looked at Sima and asked.

If something happens, you should make a decision immediately. Seeing that he looked at him, Sima Wenzhi nodded slowly and did not speak.

If this is the case, it is indeed Xu's wishful thinking. Seeing this, Xu Bing no longer insisted, and his expression was a little regretful and lonely.

"It's a bit of my fault for this, when I sent someone to inform Sect Master Xu of the news of his departure, I didn't inform my senior brother of my companions. Tuoba Longyang opened his mouth to confess.

But in the ears of the people in the hall, there was not the slightest hint of fear in these words of confession. Although this is the Xu family, his identity is the most noble, and no one dares to ask about the crime.

"However, Xiao Wang has a wishful thinking here. After the confession, Tuoba Longyang spoke again, and at the same time looked at Xu Bingjin.

"Huh?" Xu Bing had some guesses after hearing this, and he didn't dare to make a conclusion, so he opened his mouth to verify it.

"In addition to the senior brother, the only daughter of Old Mu will also leave with me. Tuoba Longyang opened his mouth to inform.

As soon as the words fell, the noise in the hall immediately sounded. Everyone in the Xu clan knows that Mu Qiuyu is the wife of the young master of the Xu clan who has never been through the door. Now that he has been taken away, how will it end later?

Compared with the uproar of the crowd, Xu Bingjin and Sima Wenzhi's reaction was much smaller.

Before Qiu Yu waited for Tuoba Longyang, Xu Bingjin had already expected this matter. Sima asked him similarly, and he had already guessed this two days ago.

"If this is the case, Xu's righteous daughter Qiuyu thanked King Anbei for his support. Xu Bingjin didn't feel much lost, and his face didn't change when he spoke.

"Although she left with me, Mu Lao would not leave. This is still her mother's home, and it will not be cut off in the future. Tuoba Longyang opened his mouth with relief.

It was supposed to be two toasts, but in the end there was only one left. After that, they are all practiced for everyone who is about to go away.

When everyone raised their glasses frequently, Sima Wenzhi felt that the food was tasteless. It is not for Xu Bingjin and the two of them to advocate successively, but because of the helplessness that he cannot predict about the fortune and misfortune of his northward journey.

After going north before, he turned to Luoyang, in addition to being recommended to see Xu Bingjin, he didn't want to face this helplessness too early. Now that I really want to go north, I have mixed feelings in my heart.

The food is tasteless and there is no interest. Tuoba Longyang saw that he was not in high spirits, and took the initiative to stop the banquet under the pretext that he needed to prepare for the road.

Sima asked if there was anything to prepare, but he also agreed.

In the early morning of the second day, after having a morning meal, the group packed up and left from Xu's Dock Fort.

It is different from when he first arrived at Xu's house, and Xu Bing solemnly greeted him. At this time, he left, and he seemed quite clean. This was specially ordered by Tuoba Longyang, and after experiencing the last incident, he knew that he could not be too public.

But it still took some time to leave from Xu.

Mu Qiuyu was attached to Mu Lao, and when she left, she cried very miserably, which was even more tragic than when a woman got married. Tuoba Longyang couldn't bear it, and stopped the convoy that had been moving several times.

As the hour passed, all the ties were finally removed, and the group headed northeast.

Half an hour after Sima Wenzhi and the others left Xu's house, in a house in Luoyang City, there was a person sitting under a tree, drinking fragrant tea while basking in the warm sun. After drinking a cup of tea, someone pushed the door through the courtyard.

"My lord, half an hour ago, King Anbei left the Xu clan and marched towards the capital. "After the visitor walked in, he did not delay, and told the news of the discovery directly.

"Is it conclusive?" asked the tea drinker.

"Conclusively. Before he left, Xu Bing took a group of clansmen to bow. King Anbei personally lifted him up, and the spies were sure that it was him. Someone responded.

The tea drinker didn't speak again after hearing this, and a few fingers tapped on the table repeatedly, thinking about something in his heart.

"My lord, do you want to make another arrangement to intercept him on his way back to Kyoto?" the visitor asked tentatively when he saw that he remained silent.
