At noon, Zhu Di set up a banquet to invite the generals, and Ling Xiao and the others were also among them. In the hall, Zhu Di sat on the high hall, sitting in order of priority, and the Ling Xiao brothers and the Cheng brothers were arranged on both sides of Zhu Di.

The generals were very polite to these Jianghu people and frequently toasted, and after three rounds of drinking, Zhu Di said to the two Ling Xiao brothers: "Two young heroes, come... This king toasts you a glass" said and picked up the wine glass, Ling Xiao said: "The prince is serious, our two brothers are individual guests in the rivers and lakes, how dare we ask the prince to toast us, we should respect the prince."

Zhu Di said: "The two young heroes have worked hard and have made great achievements, needless to say, this king will do it first as a respect" said and drank the wine.

Seeing that Zhu Di was so generous, the two brothers could only drink it respectfully, and then returned a cup of Zhu Di and accepted it happily. Zhu Di stroked his long hair and said: "Two young heroes, today in front of the generals, this king has a reluctant request, I don't know if the two can agree"

Ling Xiao said with a smile: "I don't know what the prince has sent, where we need the service of my two brothers, we should do our best" Zhu Di said: "This king knows that the two are people in the rivers and lakes, I also like to dance with guns and sticks, and I love the knights of the rivers and lakes even more, I don't know if the two of them have the heart to be officials"

Although Ling Xiao helped Zhu Di a lot at this time, he also knew that Zhu Di and his gang were rebellious, and they were also unrighteous teachers, and they were also used to freedom, and they were not used to seeing the deceit of officialdom.

Master Ling Xiao also mentioned that there were very few people who were officials in the world, but there were so many authoritarian and domineering people, which made him very disgusted with officialdom, and this trip to help Zhu Di resist the southern army was completely out of righteousness and coincidence.

After thinking about Zhu Di's words, he glanced at Zhang Yu, although Zhang Yu didn't speak, but the meaning was obvious, Ling Xiao hugged his fists and smiled: "My brothers and sisters are individual guests in the rivers and lakes, vulgar people in the countryside, they don't know how to be officials, thank you for your love."

Zhu Di was slightly disappointed when he heard this, but he still said to Ling Xiao with a smile: "In this way, this king is not reluctant" and then said: "This king still has something to discuss with the two young heroes today, I don't know the two..."

Ling Xiao smiled: "The prince has something to do, but it doesn't hurt to say it" Zhu Di said: "Okay, good, I like a refreshing person like Shaoxia... I'm going to be a peacemaker today, this king heard that there is a slight misunderstanding between General Cheng and the two young heroes, can you look at the thin face of this king..."

It turned out that when Zhu Di returned to the room last night, the Cheng brothers came to visit, and the Cheng brothers knew that one of the two Ling Xiao brothers was enough for them to deal with, and now that they came together, how could they not be frightened.

Cheng Shu was helpless, so he had to come to Zhu Di, and the two brothers told Zhu Di about the gap between Ling Xiao and Zhang Yu, of course, the two said that the killing of Ling Xiao's father was manslaughter, and the matter between him and Zhang Yu was purely a misunderstanding, hoping that Zhu Di could be a middleman to persuade one or two.

As the commander-in-chief, Zhu Di has the ability to recognize people and make decisions, which few people can match. Through the verbal negotiations between the Cheng brothers and the Ling Xiao brothers, he found that the two sides not only knew each other but also seemed to have discord, and Zhu Di had the intention to recruit the Ling Xiao brothers to return to the account.

After hearing the Cheng brothers' request, he agreed with a smile, and at this time, he found an opportunity to say this during the banquet, but he didn't think that Ling Xiao wouldn't buy his account at all.

When Ling Xiao said that he wanted to be a peacemaker, he guessed that it might be related to the Cheng brothers, and when he heard that Zhu Di really mentioned this matter, he secretly scolded the Cheng brothers for being cunning and cunning, and at the same time felt that this prince did not understand human feelings.

I thought: "How can I not avenge the revenge of killing my father", although I was angry in my heart, I didn't show it, and still smiled: "Lord Wang, I and the owner of Cheng Zhuang are all people in the rivers and lakes, and the people of the rivers and lakes have their own rules for the people of the rivers and lakes, maybe the prince does not understand the inside story;

Ling Xiao's face sank after saying this, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious. When the Cheng brothers heard this, their faces were extremely ugly, and they thought to themselves: "This surnamed Ling doesn't buy the prince's account, see how the prince answers, if it really doesn't work, there is only another way."

After all, Ling Xiao is steady, he dismissed Zhu Di's face in front of everyone, although his face did not change, he must have been very uncomfortable in his heart, and he hugged his fists and said: "Lord Wang, Ling Xiao is a person in the mountains and wilderness who speaks rudely and has a straightforward temperament, if there is anything inappropriate, I hope that the prince will atone for his sins, and Haihan will be one or two."

Then he laughed dryly a few times and said, "Ling Xiao respects you three glasses to apologize" As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass and no matter how Zhu Di answered, he drank three glasses in a row.

In fact, when Zhu Di heard Ling Xiao's words, he was really unhappy in his heart, and thought: "Isn't this making this king ugly in front of everyone?"

I thought again: "Maybe the Cheng brothers really have a big holiday with him, maybe they can't ignore it, and they can only find other ways to do it", but the Cheng brothers have the same idea of looking for opportunities as him, so they will never find a chance again.

Zhu Di saw that Ling Xiao had stepped down a step for him, and he also picked up the wine glass and said: "Ling Shaoxia, where do you say, this king likes the bold tone of friends in the rivers and lakes, since this king can't be the master, you can watch it yourself according to the rules of the rivers and lakes" He also drank the wine.

Cheng Shu still had a glimmer of hope, but he didn't expect Zhu Di to answer so simply, and his heart suddenly cooled. secretly thought: "I think of my brothers, I have always had a clear conscience, since we have been found by the enemy again, we can't show weakness, and sooner or later we will break off with you."

After Cheng Gen listened to Zhu Di's words, he could only stare dryly, and wanted to get up and immediately have a big battle with Ling Xiao, either you die or I live, this thought just came to mind and was stopped by Cheng Shu shaking his head intentionally or unintentionally.

Zhu Di asked about the situation outside the city at the banquet, only to know that it was still not optimistic. The first person sent to deliver a letter for help has not returned, and the second person who sent a letter has not returned for more than a day.

Although Cheng Shu was very confident in his brother's martial arts, he couldn't help but show the same worry as Zhu Di at this time. Although there was a temporary supply of grain and grass in the city, it could not last long, and everyone only waited for reinforcements to arrive, and the banquet was dispersed in everyone's thoughts.

Zhang Yu couldn't bear it in his heart, and wanted to ask the Cheng brothers to understand clearly, so he didn't say hello to Ling Xiao, so he followed the two Cheng brothers who had just left and were about to return to the room.

When Cheng Shu heard Zhang Yu's voice, he was not surprised, turned around and hugged his fist and smiled: "Oh, it turned out to be Zhang Shaoxia, could it be that Shaoxia is here to find Cheng Mou to catch up."
