Chapter 12: The Imperial City Zhen Guowei -12

Under Huaide's arrangement, Wu Nai and Bully sat next to Edward, and Bai Yu sat next to John. Then, at the emperor's signal, the banquet officially began.

Wu Nai suppressed his cheap smile and greeted Edward very politely: "Hello Mr. Envoy, my name is Wu Nai, and I am honored to meet you." ”

Although Edward felt quite awkward just now, he saw that Wu Nai was as polite as a gentleman at the moment, so he didn't think much about it, he replied: "Hello, Mr. Wu Nai, I am Edward Walker, and I am honored to meet you. Who is the beautiful lady next to you?"

Bully Shuang just wanted to open his mouth to answer, but thinking of Wu Nai's agreement to come without opening his mouth in advance, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

Wu Nai introduced: "Ah, it's rude, this is the contemptible fiancée, Liu Bullyingshuang." ”

Edward looked at the deception carefully, seemed stunned, and muttered, "Oh my God...... How can there be such a beautiful girl in the world!"

Wu Nai stretched out his hand and waved in front of Edward, Edward seemed to have forgotten Wu Nai's existence, and only Liu Bullying was in his eyes.

Wu Nai shook his head, moved his body to block Edward's face, Edward woke up from a dream, and quickly apologized a little embarrassed: "Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”

Wu was a little unhappy in patience, and the bearded man stared at his wife like this. Wu patiently thought, if you want to change the usual, I would have kicked you in the face a long time ago, but now because of the task arranged by His Majesty the Emperor, I have to endure it first, you wait for me, bearded! Sooner or later, I will clean you up!

He was very unhappy in his heart, but Wu Nai didn't lose even a second of smile on his face, he said with an open-minded look: "Mr. Edward, please don't care, you just praise my fiancée for her beauty, I don't think there's anything wrong with it." ”

Edward also smiled and said, "Yes, yes, your fiancée is really beautiful"

"Hmm...... Hehe, thanks for the compliment. Wu Nai almost punched him, how could this middle-aged bearded man be so shameless! If you don't apologize, forget it, and add a sentence, "Your wife is so beautiful." What does this person mean by deliberately demonstrating to me? Or is he just a cowardly bastard? But Wu Nai still held back, and the conflict between him and Edward had escalated from a public grudge to a private grudge.

Actually, Edward is not that complicated. Unlike Da Xuan, public praise of the opposite sex, especially in front of his husband, is actually a polite act in Diuman. However, Wu Nai didn't understand the customs of this foreign country, and Edward didn't know it, so in Daxuan, he was already molesting a woman from a good family. It can only be said that this private grievance is very delicate.

The feast finally began, and several gorgeously dressed dancers followed the palace band to the main hall, where the dancers danced to soft and beautiful music, and the palace ladies began to serve food to everyone.

The formal banquet also resolved Wu Nai's embarrassment a lot, and after His Majesty the Emperor had a drink with the guests present, everyone also began to move separately. Prime Minister Lu Yunhe picked up the beam, sat next to John, and personally dealt with the official envoy, he glanced at Wu Nai, Wu Nai nodded, it's time to start.

Wu Nai raised his glass to Edward and said, "Being able to sit down and eat together today also shows that I have a lot of fate with Mr. Edward.

Edward came to Daxuan to live for a while, and he also experienced a lot of daily feasts and small banquets, and he still understands the etiquette of Daxuan to salute people with wine, and he quickly raised his glass and drank it all.

"Okay! you have a lot!" Without waiting for the palace maid next to him to make a move, Wu Nai had already filled Edward with wine himself. Then Wu Nai also poured himself full, and then raised his glass again and said: "Good things are double! I will toast you again!"

Although Edward didn't understand what Wu Nai meant, he knew that the other party should have said something auspicious or friendly, so he hurriedly returned a toast.

Wu Nai was about to fill Edward again, and Edward hurriedly covered his wine glass: "Mr. Wu Nai! Don't! Just take your time, take your time......" But Wu Nai still enthusiastically pushed his hand away and continued to pour wine for him, and said enthusiastically: "Oh, Mr. Edward, you're welcome, this is the first time I've seen the demeanor of the Diuman people, and I have to have a few more drinks with you." ”

Edward had no choice but to let Wu Nai fill himself, but he asked with some curiosity: "Why, do you Daxuan civilians also know about our great Diuman Empire?"

When Wu Nai heard this, he thought to himself, I'll wait for you! Return: "That's! We Daxuan people have long heard that in that far west, there is an ancient empire as huge as our Daxuan. But alas, we have only heard legends, but we have never been to Diouman, let alone seen anyone there. But when I saw Mr. Edward today, he was full of energy and might, and he knew that you Diouman must be extraordinary. ”

Although Edward heard it in a vague way, he still understood, and praised not only him, but also their country, and his heart was very happy. He actually took the initiative to raise his cup and toasted Wu Nai very happily. 、

Wu Nai took a glass of wine and drank it with Edward, and then filled it up again for Edward. Diuman's wine is not as strong as Daxuan's, so the amount of alcohol in Diuman is actually not very good compared to Daxuan's, but after three glasses, Edward has almost forgotten how many catties and taels he has drunk.

Wu Nai leaned over to Edward's side and whispered, "Mr. Edward, before I came to Taijing, I heard that there were Ouchi guards in the imperial city competing with Diuman envoys, but is this really the case?"

Edward pinched his chopsticks and held a mouthful of food in a strange grip, he ate the food, and then returned: "Yes, what's wrong? Is this still a secret?"

Wu Nai hurriedly said: "That's not it, if it's a secret, how can we small people know about it? I just heard that there is an extremely powerful Diuman warrior who defeated several of our Daxuan masters, I really want to look up to this hero, I don't know if he can be at the banquet today?"

After Wu Nai finished speaking, he quietly squinted and observed Edward. After hearing this, Edward's face was already full of laughter, and Wu Naicheng smiled and thought to himself: Boy, is your heart so dark that you are about to die? So he quickly added a handful of firewood: "Such a brave person, it is enough to see him in this life!"

Edward laughed out loud, but because the banquet was so lively, his action did not attract everyone's onlookers. Edward patted Wu Nai on the shoulder and said proudly: "Mr. Wu Nai, the hero you want to see is actually in front of your eyes. ”

"Oh! Mr. Edward is the Dioman warrior who defeated the master of Ouchi!"

"Yes, that's me. ”

Wu Nai had an expression of admiration, raised his wine glass and said, "Mr. Edward! Don't say anything!

"Okay!" Edward didn't say a word, and once again drank with Wu Nai. Wu Nai quietly looked at Edward's face, his cheeks flushed, okay, it's almost hot!

Wu Nai put down the cup and opened the topic: "Mr. Edward, your bravery naturally makes me admire. However, we don't know how you won, so many people outside the palace don't believe that you really defeated the Ouchi master. ”

After hearing this, Edward became anxious: "What? Can this still be fake? The three guards of your palace who came to compete in martial arts were all defeated by my sword! I don't believe you go and ask your Emperor Your Majesty!"

Wu Nai hurriedly persuaded: "Mr. Edward, rest your anger, stop your anger." Besides, brother, I didn't say that I didn't believe it, but it was most people outside the palace who didn't believe you, and I also said it, how could people talk nonsense? But this group of people said that they didn't know whether they won or not, so they just didn't believe it!"

Edward said angrily, "How can you say that it is not clear! They have all lost to my half-swordsmanship!

Wu Nai hurriedly answered: "Why don't you tell me the details about Mr. Edward! I can refute this group of guys who only know how to talk in the future! I just don't know if I am blessed, brother, can you listen to your means to defeat the master of Ouchi?"

Edward replied: "Okay! Mr. Wu Nai, I will tell you how I defeated your Ouchi masters!

Wu Nai happily replied: "Okay! I will listen to your heroic deeds!"

Wu Nai looked at Edward and thought: "Hmph, bearded, bearded, come, give the master a good explanation of your swordsmanship, and dig out all the things in your heart for me!"
