Chapter 406
Zhang Yan thought that the "engagement banquet" so quickly and in such a hurry would not have too many guests in such a tight time.
Then when I arrived at the door of Murong Mansion, I found that even these dignitaries and magnates who walked in ordinary ways were in a hurry to rush here at this time.
Wan Yan seemed to know what Zhang Yan was thinking, and said lightly: "The Murong family and the Huangfu family have joined forces and become the largest factional force in Shangjing. Imagine which family and individual in the capital do not sharpen their heads and drill into it, so as to get involved with this behemoth. β
Wan Yan sneered in the end: "The Murong family deliberately set the time so tight to use this means to show their superiority and detachment. β
Zhang Yan couldn't help asking: "Emperor Jin really doesn't want to do something, sit back and watch the two of them act in cahoots?"
"When a man gets married, a woman gets married, who can say anything!"
Zhang Yan's heart sank directly to the bottom, and he muttered: "The Murong family is getting bigger and bigger, so when can I rescue Yu'er......"
"Brother Zhang, Brother Wanyan!"
Shangguan Ai called the two over, and at the same table were Wanyan Zhongkang, Wanyan Wume, Pei Yuan, and Duanmu Baiyue.
Before Zhang Yan could sit down, he felt that the atmosphere was already a little wrong.
Several people's faces were a little solemn.
Zhang Yan thought about it and understood.
The power of the courtiers is huge, and the authority of the royal family will be diminished, and it is logical that they will also become a thorn in the side of the royal family and the object that must be removed.
Zhang Zhan still remembered that both the two brothers Murong and Huangfu Manni had a very good relationship with the two princes of Wanyan, but after one night, they had to change.
When we meet in the future, I don't know if the two sides will be able to laugh. But it should be possible, people who are good at playing with power, no matter how merciless the stab in the back, the necessary polite smile is always essential.
"Brother Zhang!"
Zhang Yan turned his head and watched Jin Xuanlin, who was holding a wine glass, walking over.
Just like Jin Xuanlin's smile, he must be eager to kill Zhang Yan with a sword immediately, but in front of everyone, as long as the two of them don't completely turn their faces, they have to be humble and kind.
"Jin just said goodbye to His Majesty from the palace, and His Majesty also allowed Jin to leave Beijing tonight! Alas, it's a pity that I can't drink with Brother Zhang anymore!"
Zhang Zhan stood up, also raised his cup and said with a smile: "There is a confidant in the sea, and the end of the world is like a neighbor."
After Jin Xuanlin left, Shangguan Ai nodded and said, "How much resentment does this guy have towards Brother Zhang! β
Zhang Yan shrugged his shoulders: "People who don't know must still think that the relationship between the two of us is so deep, and we haven't shown the slightest disharmony from beginning to end." β
Duanmu Baiyue sighed and said lightly: "Under so many eyes, if Jin Xuanlin deliberately came to trouble a commoner like Brother Zhang, it would seem that he was incompetent in the Goryeo Dynasty, and he would also lose his identity and demeanor as the prince of Goryeo." β
That's true.
Jin Xuanlin's status is noble and he is a guest in a foreign land, so his walking, sitting and lying will inevitably affect people's perception of Goryeo. Therefore, if he really went out and quarreled with Zhang Yan under so many eyes, then his personal behavior would be regarded as a joke of the whole Goryeo.
Seeing that there were other people talking and laughing, Zhang Yan proposed: "Shall we pretend to be a little happy and happy to others? Everyone doesn't need to be lifeless, right?"
But no one paid attention to Zhang Yan, and after a while of embarrassment, Shangguan Ai snorted: "We live for ourselves, not for others, so why bother to show them." β
"Is Hetu still in Brother Zhang's hands?" Duanmu Baiyue asked.
Seeing Zhang Yan nodding, Duanmu Baiyue smiled and said, "Why don't Brother Pei borrow the Hetu first, and then ask the emperor for the position of Commander of the Praetorian Guard?"
Wan Yan Wuwu frowned and said, "How important is this position, isn't it directly declaring war on the Huangfu family and the Murong family?"
The noise suddenly fell silent, and a middle-aged man with an extremely resolute face stood in front of the main seat, holding a glass of wine in one hand.
Between his eyebrows, he is almost the same as Murong Fei and Murong Ying, and he must be the father of the Murong brothers and the head of the Murong family, Murong Jin.
Murong has been in the official department for more than 30 years, and his protΓ©gΓ©s are so widespread. Some people say that where the Jin Kingdom almost has power, it will definitely be able to find Murong Jin's protΓ©gΓ© there.
From this statement alone, it is enough to see how far and how deep Murong Jin's rhizome has spread in the Jin Kingdom.
Zhang Zhan saw that although he was not very young, his demeanor in his gestures gave people a kind of simplicity and naturalness, and the deep light in his eyes was not just full and vast wisdom, so he whispered: "This person is also a very great master!"
Shangguan Ai smiled and said, "Uncle Murong also traveled to the Central Plains when he was young, and defeated the Central Plains heroes with one sword. β
Zhang Yan just smiled lightly and didn't speak.
On the contrary, he now feels that arguing and chattering are actually the most useless expressions. What is the use of being speechless even if the other side is speechless? Very few of the facts that come to the ears are truly complete, and they are either exaggerated or belittled. If you care too much about these details, you might as well smile calmly.
"Brother Zhang's throat is uncomfortable today, can't he speak?" Shangguan Ai looked at Zhang Yan strangely.
Zhang Yan shook his head and said with a smile: "It's just that I also happened to hear the story of Lord Murong defeating the heroes of the Central Plains with one sword. β
Shangguan Ai looked at Zhang Yan even more strangely.
"Distinguished guests have come from afar, Murong would like to thank you here!"
After Murong Jin's penetrating voice, the guests present were all afraid to say anything.
"The old man set up the banquet tonight, one is to celebrate the successful marriage of the dog and the daughter of the Huangfu family, Huangfu Manni, and the most important thing is to see off His Royal Highness Kim Xuanlin of Goryeo. β
"Oh-"
Many people suddenly realized that they had a little relief.
Zhang Zhan saw it in his eyes, but he was thinking, maybe Murong Jin deliberately used Jin Xuanlin's farewell as a shield after testing his summoning power, so as to save others from the negative influence of others on the Murong family being so "domineering".
After all, the marriage that was only negotiated last night, even if someone was ordered to issue invitations early this morning, others did not dare not come, and it really seemed too "domineering".
Jin Xuanlin stood up at this time.
He was already handsome and unusually handsome, well-behaved, noble and graceful. At this time, he received thousands of attention, not only did he not feel uncomfortable, but he seemed to be able to speak and act freely, and he responded to the flow, which unsurprisingly attracted the bold eyes of many young women.
"Jin Mou encountered an unshirkable important matter, so he temporarily decided to resign tonight, and if the etiquette is not good, I hope you Haihan!"
Not to mention Zhang Xuanlin, even Shangguan Ai looked at these daughters who seemed to have drunk the elixir and jade liquid, and cheered for Jin Xuanlin with beautiful faces, they were a little embarrassed.
"How handsome is Jin Xuanlin?" Shangguan Ai muttered.
Zhang Yan smiled and said: "Not only is he handsome, but he is also very generous, and he is the dignified prince of Goryeo, and the warbler Yanyan who fascinates your country is completely in common sense." β
Shangguan Ai snorted: "If they knew that after Jin Xuanlin returned to China, it was very likely that he would become a prisoner of the lost dog steps, and they would not be able to shout so vigorously." β
Zhang Yan shrugged his shoulders: "For them, handsomeness is enough! Also, Brother Shangguan is jealous!"
Shangguan Ai stared at Zhang Yan for a long time, then stared at the night sky, and said with a little melancholy and sadness: "Why do I think that the happy days of spraying people with Brother Zhang with full tacit understanding seem to be getting farther and farther away." β
"The emperor has arrived!"
As soon as the song was sung, the lively and noisy scene fell silent again.
Immediately afterwards, even Zhang Zhan would not feel uncomfortable, and everyone knelt down and shouted: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"
"Flat!"
Emperor Jin said calmly.
The matter of entertaining the emperor is naturally not Zhang Xuan's turn. And the majesty of the king of a country is placed here, Shangguan Ai is also a lot more honest, and he doesn't dare to talk nonsense about Zhang Yan anymore.
"Dumbo and Mannie are also married, and in the blink of an eye, time has stolen twenty years of my years. β
Wanyan Shouxu sighed lightly, maybe he then found that this topic was not suitable for tonight's celebration, and then laughed and said: "I bless you, the future world is the world where you young people gallop!"
Murong Fei and Huangfu Manni both knelt down and bowed to thank him.
Zhang Yan looked at Murong Fei and Huangfu Manni standing side by side like golden boys and girls at this moment, and he really didn't feel jealous at all, but felt that the two of them were a good match.
Maybe it's because of too much laughter and joy around him, Zhang Can's heart actually gave birth to a little blessing, I hope the two of them will love each other for a long time.
I don't know what to do, I go deep, I hate nowhere to go, and I laugh and laugh.
After all, Zhang Remnant only hated Murong Ying alone!
"Do you guess they're happy?" Shangguan Ai leaned his head over again.
Zhang Yan shook his head, and also said in a low voice: "Unless Mannie marries a wife, she completely changes her personality." β
Huangfu Manni has a bold style of affairs between men and women, and she is indeed not a qualified woman.
"Prince Kim Xuanlin of Goryeo traveled thousands of miles to ask me for marriage. For the sake of the eternal marriage between Dajin and Gaoli, I have ordered Solin to wait outside the palace, and tonight she will set off with Prince Jin Xuanlin and move Gaoli!"
"What!"
With a slamming bang, he smashed the table and suddenly got up.
Duanmu Baiyue was shocked: "The emperor has chosen to support Jin Xuanlin!"
No one over there had time to congratulate Wan Yan Shouxu, and Wan Yan's angry roar had already suppressed all the voices.
At the same time, the table was smashed, the cups, saucers, and chopsticks all fell to the ground, and there was a piercing crackling sound of porcelain crackling.
Wan Yan was injured and this move was tantamount to questioning Wan Yan Shouxu, and the two guards behind Wan Yan Shouxu drew their swords at the same time: "Presumptuous! Don't kneel down and ask for guilt!"
Wan Yanju's two fists were clenched tightly, Zhang Yan's nose was so sensitive, and at the moment when Wan Yanju's excessively strong nails pierced his palm, he already smelled the smell of blood.
Zhang Yan couldn't help but pull his face and hurt himself: "Don't be stupid, don't be stupid!"
Wan Yan was injured but glared at Wan Yan Shouxu, and this fierce look was enough to cure him for the crime of "great disrespect".
He broke away from his broken hand and shouted as if his heart was rending, "I'm going to find Sorin!"
"Come on, take down the wounds!"
Wanyan Shouxu shouted vigorously.
Emperor Lao Tzu had spoken in person, and before he could take two steps from his face, the four guards had already swung their knives at him from front to back, left and right.
Shangguan Ai held Zhang Yan's wrist vigorously: "Brother Zhang must hold back! Don't openly contradict the emperor at this time!"
Don't say that Yan Shu was poked in the morning, even if he was in his heyday, the anger in his heart at this moment had already burned his reason almost into a walking corpse, and even half of his martial arts could not be used.
"Who dares to be wild in front of the emperor?" Murong Ying strolled out at this time.
The next moment, he turned over and jumped, and his speed was faster than the four guards!
With a "click", Murong Ying mercilessly kicked and broke Wan Yan's leg bone, and then put the knife on Wan Yan's neck, grabbed his hair and pressed it to the ground.
Zhang Yan couldn't help but get angry when he looked at it, and said viciously: "Murong Ying!"
But Wanyan was injured as if he couldn't feel the pain at all, and he resisted and tossed vigorously, and kept shouting: "Sorin...... Soreen ......"
Murong Ying sneered, his hand became stronger, and he scolded: "Shut up, don't ask the emperor for guilt!"
Wanyan was still able to hear it, but he was fluttering vigorously, and although his whole face was pressed to the ground, he still roared: "Sorin...... Soreen ......"
The next moment, Murong Ying simply picked up Wan Yan's injury, and slapped Wan Yan more than a dozen times in a row, directly beating Wan Yan's injury to the point that his face was covered with blood.
With a plop, Wanyan fell to the ground, but he was knocked unconscious.
Wanyan Shouxu seemed to be a little satisfied, and waved his hand: "Escort into the prison, wait for the fall!"
"Yes!"
Zhang Yan didn't care about the others anymore, just looked at Murong Ying with a smug face coldly. And Murong Ying couldn't sense Zhang Yan's undisguised killing intent, so he greeted him without giving an inch, and sneered again.
Zhang Zan took a deep breath, knowing that he had to hold back at this time, the so-called out of sight and out of mind, Zhang Zan, said in a low voice: "I want to go and see Brother Yan." β
Wanyan Wuwu immediately threw a piece of jade pendant to Zhang Xuan: "Brother Zhang can show this jade pendant!"
Zhang Yan nodded and was about to leave, but many people in the audience got up one after another, it turned out that Jin Xuanlin was already ready to leave and return to Goryeo.
Zhang Yan didn't pay attention to it, but he felt a chill in his back, full of chills.
Turning his head, Zhang Yan saw Jin Xuanlin with a mocking smile, looking at him without blinking.
Zhang Yan hugged his fists and said lightly: "Your Highness has a good journey." β
Jin Xuanlin walked over, clinked glasses with everyone at this table and drank them all, and then said in a low voice: "Jin is a person who holds a lot of grudges! Brother Zhang lied to me, don't think that there is nothing to do! Everything today is just the beginning." The days ahead are still very long. β
Zhang Yan also touched the cup with him and said with a smile: "We are all all people all the way! The days ahead are still very long." β
Jin Xuanlin laughed, waved his hand again, and said chicly: "Don't pass!"
