Chapter 526: Pleading
"No, I've been drinking for a long time. ”
A casual word can make the dragon king come to visit in person, Zhang Ji may be the only person in the world who has this ability, but he remains polite, stands at the door to greet him, and immediately notices the wine jar in the guard's arms.
There was a time when Gu Shen sent wine to Zhang Ji as a sign of respect, but this time he still maintained the convention, "It's a pity, this is the daughter Hong from the Central Plains, and it's rare now." ”
Since the start of the war, the passage to the Central Plains has been sealed, and the flow of goods has been almost cut off, this jar of wine is the old stock of a tavern in Biyucheng, which is worth a lot of money, Gu Shenwei rarely drinks, only I heard that the people of Beiting are good at drinking, so I let people prepare a few jars for gift exchange.
Zhang Ji is tall and majestic, he said everything in the school back then, even the children of Dubu Wang were afraid of him, and then licked his lips, revealing a trace of embarrassment, "You are a distinguished guest, but you are disrespectful, put it here, we can drink a little less." ”
It was a small gathering, and the guards left the jar of wine, saluted the dragon king, and then turned away, around a round table of only five people.
Zhang Ji sits on the main seat, with Shangguan Yun and Shangguan Fei brothers on his left hand, and Dragon King and Lotus Girl on his right hand.
At first, the atmosphere was a little awkward, Shangguan Fei felt that he was redundant, like a double agent sitting between the two masters, at a loss.
Shangguan Yun still looked lazy, with a tired smile on his face, his eyes deliberately avoided the lotus girl, and he still remembered his embarrassed appearance when he was chased and killed.
The Dutch girl felt inexplicable that she had been invited, no matter where she was, she was always indifferent, as if the people around her did not exist, and she did not move at all the wine and food in front of her.
Only Zhang Ji and Gu Shenwei chatted with each other, and there was no tension between the hostile sides at all.
Zhang Ji took the wine glass and drank it all, making a satisfied and pleasant chirp, "Good wine, anyone who can make this kind of wine should be killed, lest he tempt sentient beings." ”
After that, he looked at the cup with dissatisfaction, put it aside, took a big bowl, and Shangguan Yun immediately poured a full wine for him.
"Make an exception today, if you send a few more jars of such good wine, even I will betray Jinpeng Castle and defect to you. ”
"I can't ask for it. Gu Shenwei didn't take Zhang Ji's words seriously, but Shangguan Yun on the other side turned his head away, looking slightly displeased.
Zhang Ji drank several bowls in a row, and finally was satisfied, and began to get to the point, he looked at the lotus girl and said, "You are enemies, but you are all people who walked out of the stone castle. ”
The lotus girl hung her head and was silent, and Shangguan Fei grinned a few times.
Zhang Ji looked at him sternly, "That's right, I also treat you as a character, because you are the laziest and most shameless guy in the stone castle." ”
Shangguan Fei's face turned red, although he was a little afraid of Zhang Ji, he was not as respectful as the Dragon King, "You...... Why are you scolding me? I'm not from the Shangguan family anymore. ”
Shangguan Yun smiled and played a round game, "What Mr. Zhang said is right, but the three words 'laziest' are better for me, plus one 'most despicable'." ”
The atmosphere immediately eased, and Gu Shenwei also interjected, "Then I have to take away the 'most insidious'." ”
Finding that these derogatory words actually had the meaning of praise, Shangguan Fei was happy, pointed to the lotus girl and said, "I know what she is, 'the most vicious'." ”
The lotus girl glanced at him, and Shangguan Fei immediately added three words, "The most beautiful." Then he turned to Zhang Ji, "Mr. Zhang himself has to get a word." ”
Zhang Ji put his hand on the table and sighed, "Zhang is not talented, and he thinks he is 'the thickest-skinned'." ”
Shangguan Fei was stunned for a moment, feeling that this comment didn't look like Zhang Ji, "How can Mr. Zhang be 'the thickest-skinned'?" This word should be given to Shangguan Hong, as long as he is given a bowl of rice to eat, he is willing to be a dog." ”
Zhang Ji snorted disdainfully, he once pretended to assist Shangguan Hong, and then abandoned him casually, in his eyes, this Hong Gongzi has never been a character, "I have the thickest skin, because I know that I am already an enemy, I still have to put on this old face and ask the Dragon King for one thing." ”
Gu Shenwei respected Zhang Ji, because it was precisely because of his influence that he did not go to the end on the road of the killer, but entered the Great Snow Mountain, and decided to take revenge on Jinpeng Fort by fighting for hegemony.
"Mr. Zhang, please say, the kid doesn't dare to disobey. ”
"You're not a brat, you're the dragon king. Zhang Ji stood up and respectfully saluted Gu Shenwei, "Thank you for treating me as 'sir', especially thank you for your wine, this is the most enjoyable meal I have eaten in a year." ”
Gu Shenwei helped Zhang Ji sit down, and when he said "pleading", he roughly guessed the content in his heart.
Sure enough, Zhang Ji's eyes fell on the Lotus Girl again, "I hope the Lotus Girl can stop chasing and killing the Cloud King." ”
The lotus girl still bowed her head and remained silent, as if the sentence was not addressed to her at all.
"I think we have reached an agreement that we will strike each other during the mission to the North Court, and as for the future, it will always be the enemy. Gu Shenwei spoke for her.
"I don't mention anything in the future, it's just this time. Zhang Ji naturally didn't have such high expectations, thinking that the Dragon King and the Lotus Girl would stop forever, "But the agreement was reached by Beiting, Jinpeng Castle, and the Dragon King, and I noticed that Xiaoyue Hall was not included in it." ”
The lotus girl is the personal guard of the Dragon King, but she is also the imperial master of Xiaoyue Hall, ordinary people value the identity of the former, but Zhang Ji cares about the latter title.
Gu Shenwei remembered that Zhang Ji had always hated Xiaoyuetang's methods, and he despised them very much, and he was a little surprised that he valued the Lotus Girl so much today.
Zhang Ji mentioned Xiaoyuetang, Gu Shenwei couldn't speak, Long Jun and Xiaoyuetang were just a cooperative relationship, and he couldn't care about other people's affairs.
Zhang Ji's face is indeed very "thick", and he went around in a circle, and the object of his "pleading" was actually a lotus girl.
No wonder Shangguan Yun's expression was a little unnatural from the beginning, with the title of "Cloud King", but asking a woman to let him go, it was really a very embarrassing behavior, even the "most despicable" him, couldn't help blushing.
As if she finally felt the eyes of the whole table on her, she raised her head and spoke for the first time after entering the room, "If he is willing to apologize to me, I can spare him for the time being." ”
Zhang Ji said that he was "the thickest-skinned", but in fact, he spent all these twists and turns, giving the lotus girl a lot of face, but she didn't expect her to make such a request without knowing what to do.
Shangguan Fei had nothing to do with himself, suppressed his excitement to watch this good show, and secretly wondered in his heart, why didn't he see that Zhang Ji was such a treacherous guy before, but Dubu King, Dragon King, and Cloud King all respected him, and it seemed that he still had his own eyes.
Zhang Ji turned to Shangguan Yun, and his tone was majestic, as if the other party was a student who had just enlightened, and he was holding a terrifying ring ruler in his hand, "Apologize to the lotus girl." ”
Shangguan Yun's face was really a little red, but he covered it with a smile, got up to serve the wine, and bowed slightly to the lotus girl, "It's all my fault for indulging my subordinates in Osan and treating the imperial teachers rudely, please don't remember the villain's fault, spare me this time." ”
The lotus girl also stood up, didn't say anything, took a sip of the wine glass, and accepted the apology.
Shangguan Yun drank it all, his expression became more and more calm, and he said with a smile: "I still remember that the lotus girl said at the time that I would regret not killing her, to be honest, I really regret it a little." ”
"But you won't regret apologizing today. The Dutch girl replied.
Zhang Ji ignored these hidden needle-style verbal confrontations, and clapped his hands, "Okay, it seems that being cheeky is still useful, King Yun, you should thank the Dragon King, without him, the Lotus Girl will not let you go." ”
"Thank you, Dragon King, it's a pity you don't drink, otherwise we can have a drink. ”
"Mr. Zhang said, make an exception today. Gu Shenwei picked up the wine glass in front of him, stared at it, and drank it.
Shangguan Yun raised his eyebrows, followed Zhang Ji's example, put on a big bowl, and drank it in a big gulp, "The Dragon King is so refreshing." ”
The atmosphere began to become harmonious, Shangguan Fei knew what he should use, he was the liaison between the two hostile sides, no one trusted him, but he had to be used, in this kind of occasion, the task was to interject and fight, to avoid coldness.
Shangguan Fei completed this task well.
The lotus girl still didn't talk much, but her indifferent expression was less than three points, and after a few glasses of wine, her face was slightly red, showing a hint of softness.
Shangguan Yun was really surprised, pondering that the ninth brother said that the lotus girl was "the most beautiful", but it was not all groundless boasting.
When the feast was about to disperse, it was already evening, Zhang Ji seemed to pay special attention to the lotus girl today, and got up and spoke to her again, "Since everyone has put aside their fights for the time being, the lotus girl can have a good rest at night, and there is no need to monitor King Yun's every move, right?"
"After drinking these wines, I'm afraid I don't have the energy to do this kind of thing anymore. "It's rare for the lotus girl to speak not so straightforwardly, which makes Shangguan Fei extremely surprised.
Gu Shenwei was also a little surprised in his heart, Shangguan Yun and his party arrived last night, and the lotus girl didn't mention that they wanted to monitor.
The five politely parted, which surprised outsiders when they saw this scene, and all kinds of unbelievable rumors spread that night.
The lotus girl really went to rest, but Shangguan Fei couldn't sleep, he had to find someone to talk to, the best object was the dragon king, although he was not invited, he followed the dragon king directly into the house, in order to avoid being driven away, he immediately said: "This meal is drunk, everyone really used a trick." ”
"Oh, what do you see?" Gu Shenwei also needed someone to sort out his thoughts.
"Zhang Ji must have a big plan with Shangguan Yun, so he will beg the lotus girl for forgiveness so lowly. ”
"Hmm. ”
"The lotus girl deliberately embarrassed Shangguan Yun, just to see how much the other party is willing to pay, the greater the cost, the greater the conspiracy behind it. ”
"It makes sense that Zhang Ji values you. ”
Shangguan Fei sighed, he hoped that he would discover Mr. Teaching's ability earlier, and now he would not be left in the rivers and lakes, "But what is the big plan of the two of them? I think the Dragon King already knew, and he knew it at the wine table." ”
"If you were smarter, I'd have killed you. ”
Gu Shenwei didn't answer Shangguan Fei's doubts, of course he guessed Zhang Ji and Shangguan Yun's plan, because they were the same as himself, they both wanted to get a piece of the pie when Beiting split, but the means were likely to be diametrically opposite.
They are still enemies, but they have transformed the battlefield and the means of competition.
