Everyone in the hall on the first floor looked up, and saw a young man smiling and slowly walking down the stairs.

When Liu Xuan and his group saw this young man, their arrogance suddenly disappeared, and their faces immediately darkened.

Gao Jie looked upstairs for a while and could determine that the young man in white who was bullied was Xiong Tingbi's only son, Xiong Zhaoqi, originally he didn't want to do much, thinking that Luo Sigong would personally go to find his half of the disciples anyway, and it might be better to meet again then. But Liu Xuan waited for repeated difficulties, and it seemed that he would not let him go easily, so Gao Jie had no choice but to come forward.

Xiong Zhaoqi looked at this handsome young man blankly, and couldn't believe that the "Brother Zhaoqi" in his mouth was calling him, because this young man was really a stranger.

Gao Jie came downstairs, stretched out his hand to get rid of Liu Xuan, who was in the way, and walked straight to Xiong Zhaojue, patted him on the shoulder quite affectionately and shouted: "Brother Zhaoqi, what are you still doing in a daze, go up! The wine and food have already been served, and we are waiting for you!"

For this Gao Jie, Liu Xuan and others hated and feared, obviously a few days ago he was just a country boy who had just arrived in the capital, who knew that a few days later, the sparrow turned into a phoenix, not only recognized by Wei Liangqing as a dead friend, was named a loyal and brave marquis by Long Live Lord, but also became the godbrother of His Royal Highness King Xin. Now this young man's identity is more noble than the other, but I am afraid that even their father and grandfather, who were high-ranking officials in the court, will not dare to make a mistake easily when they see him.

It's just that Liu Xuan saw Xiong Zhaojing's face showing a blank look, and he felt that something was wrong, since he was able to become the boss of this group of gentlemen, it was not because his father Liu Yijing was the first assistant of the cabinet, but because he himself had a ruthlessness that others did not have, he was thoughtful and decisive, and he was a master who would not easily admit defeat. He suspected that Gao Jie had deliberately come to trouble them, so he immediately said gloomily: "Marquis Zhongyong, you shout so affectionately, but I don't know if you really know this kid or are you coming for our brothers?!"

When Gao Jie heard this, he turned around and pretended to look at Liu Xuanze and the others carefully, and then suddenly said: "It turns out that Young Master Liu and Young Master Ye are also here, uh, Young Master Liu, did you just ask me?"

Liu Xuan saw that Gao Jie's acting skills were in place, his expression was rich, and his angry face was even more pale, and he shouted in a low voice: "I asked you if you really know this kid or do you want to deliberately go against us?!"

When Gao Jie heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Zhaoqi and I know each other, what did you do?"

Ye Guyan saw that Liu Xuan was coming out, and he also jumped out and said: "What Brother Zhaoqi Brother Zhaoqi, shouting so hotly, do you know who he is?!

Gao Jie knew that this Ye Guyan was a timid person, so he glared at the moment, and the fat man was so frightened that he hid back again, and then said leisurely: "Brother Zhaoqi is the only son of Lord Xiong, and Lord Xiong is the best friend of my master Jinyiwei's commander Lord Luo, do you say that I Gao Jie recognizes him?!" Gao Jie explained so clearly, mainly not to Liu Xuanze and his group, but to deliberately deliver a message to Xiong Zhaoqi, first, to show his identity, and secondly, to tell him that he was here to break the siege.

Although Xiong Zhaoqi was a little cowardly, he was not stupid, after learning Gao Jie's identity, he was surprised to look at the tall man next to him, and hurriedly stepped forward to Gao Jie and said: "Gao Jie, the two of us thought that you hadn't arrived, so we sat downstairs first and wanted to try the famous roasted steamed buns in Liuquanju to satisfy our hunger, but I didn't expect that you were already waiting upstairs, it's really rude!"

When Gao Jie heard this, he secretly thought that this kid was not stupid, so he turned his head and smiled: "Since Brother Zhaoqi is so happy with the baked steamed buns here, go up and order another one!" After speaking, he glanced at the big man beside Xiong Zhaoqi and continued: "Brother Wang Rui is only afraid that he is also hungry, let's go up here!"

Gao Jie shouted the name "Wang Rui", which not only surprised Xiong Zhaoqi and the big man, but also Liu Xuanze and the others, although they didn't know who the big man was, but seeing Gao Jie's determined appearance, it really seemed that he was very familiar with Xiong Zhaoqi and the two of them.

The tall man was not dull, and hurriedly hugged his fists and smiled: "Thank you Brother Gao Jie, I, Wang Rui, am really hungry, haha!"

Gao Jie also laughed, didn't look at Liu Xuanze and waited again, and went upstairs with Xiong Zhaoqi and the others, leaving Liu Xuanze and his sons to look at each other, completely stunned. Since the Zhongyong Marquis really had an appointment with Xiong Zhaoqi and the others, how could they dare to go to the trouble again, and they didn't even go upstairs at the moment, and the group left Liuquanju in disgrace.

Wei Zhongxian waited for Gao Jie to come back while eating, who knew that after this guy came back, he actually brought two more big living people, and everyone was a little stunned, and they couldn't figure out what the situation was.

Gao Jie smiled and introduced: "This is Xiong Zhaojue, the son of Lord Xiong Tingbi, and that is Brother Wang Rui, the leader of Lord Xiong's guard!" Xiong Zhaoqi and Wang Rui hurriedly clasped their fists and saluted everyone.

When Wei Zhongxian heard that Xiong Zhaoqi was Xiong Tingbi's son, he was stunned, and then smiled slightly: "It turned out to be Lord Xiong's son, it's rude, old man Wei Zhongxian, have you heard of it?"

When Xiong Zhaoqi heard this, he was shocked, and hurriedly made a big salute and said, "It turned out to be Lord Wei, Xiaomin will see you!" Wang Rui also followed suit.

Wei Zhongxian waved his hand and said, "It's rumored that your father was imprisoned because of his old husband, don't you hate me?"

Xiong Zhaoqi said respectfully: "The kid didn't know the truth before, and he also had a misunderstanding with Lord Wei, but this time when he entered Beijing and met his father, he already knew the truth, so how could he hate the adult for no reason!"

Wei Zhongxian laughed and said: "In my eyes, Lord Xiong is a peerless general, since the son of the Xiong family has known the truth, sit down with peace of mind!"

It turned out that after Emperor Tianqi ascended the throne, with Wei Zhongxian's promotion to the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi, his power became increasingly powerful, and he won the favor of the emperor, which gradually attracted the attention of the Donglin party. The defeat of Guangning was the responsibility of Wang Huazhen, but the Donglin party had begun to attack the former alliance Chu Party, wanting to dominate the court, Xiong Tingbi, who was the pillar of the Chu party, naturally bore the brunt, and they joined Sun Chengzong, who had a close relationship with the Donglin party, to work together to put Xiong Tingbi in prison, and at the same time, the Donglin people also deliberately spread rumors outside, meaning that Xiong Tingbi was convicted and was done by Wei Zhongxian, intending to make the Chu party and Wei Zhongxian have a bad relationship, killing two birds with one stone, which can not only paralyze the Chu party, but also take the opportunity to suppress Wei Zhongxian's rising momentum. But who Xiong Tingbi is, he is a generation of famous marshals who promised themselves to be sick with Wei Qing and Huo Quai, and he has long seen the clues clearly, so when his son Xiong Zhaoqi visited the prison, he had already told everything about the matter. That's why there was the Q&A between Wei Zhongxian and Xiong Zhaoqi just now.

Gao Jie relieved himself, warmly beckoned the two of them to sit down, and called Xiao Er to order a few new dishes and reopen the table.

Because everyone was not familiar with Xiong Zhaoqi and Wang Rui, the atmosphere at the banquet was a little awkward, Wei Liangqing's brothers and sisters, Ji Longfeng and Wukong all buried their heads in eating without saying a word, only Gao Jie and Wei Zhongxian talked with Xiong Zhaoqi from time to time.

At first, Gao Jie and Wei Zhongxian took the initiative to ask, Xiong Zhaoqi answered passively, after drinking a few glasses of Beijing rice wine, Xiong Zhaoqi gradually relaxed, he first toasted Gao Jie, and couldn't help asking: "Brother Gao Jie, are you really Lord Luo's nephew?"

Gao Jie laughed and said, "If it's fake, Brother Zhaoqi must still be wondering how I know you, and even know the name of Brother Wang Rui!"

Xiong Zhaoqi and Wang Rui both nodded vigorously.

Gao Jie took a mouthful of food and put it in his mouth, and then said with a smile: "Because yesterday, my uncle and I just went to the prison of the Criminal Department and saw Brother Zhaoqi's Ling Zun, so although I haven't met the two, but when I heard Liu Xuanze's name, I naturally guessed that it was not far from ten!"

Xiong Zhaoqi suddenly smiled and said, "I see, no wonder, no wonder!"

Wang Rui was still a little puzzled: "It's natural for Lord Xiong to talk about Gongzi, but why do you mention that you are the next guard?"

Gao Jie smiled mysteriously and said, "Brother Wang, don't worry, the answer will be revealed by my uncle later!"

Xiong Zhaoqi and Wang Rui glanced at each other, they were still the second monk, and they were confused, it could be seen that Gao Jie obviously wanted to sell Guanzi, and it was not easy to ask questions, so they had to give up.

Wei Zhongxian saw it on the side and smiled thoughtfully.

When checking out, the total price of a table of meals was ninety-eight taels of silver, which could be regarded as a luxurious feast, and before Wei Zhongxian could dig out of his pocket, he saw Gao Jie take out a silver ticket from his arms and hand it to Xiao Er: "One hundred taels, don't look for it!"

Wei Liangyue, who was waiting to see Gao Jie's joke, was naturally disappointed and surprised, muttering on the side: "How could he be so rich, the silver ticket can't be forged, or it was stolen?!" I have to go back and check the jewelry box in the next room!" Wei Zhongxian and the others couldn't help but laugh when they heard it, if Gao Jie heard it, it was estimated that he would fall down depressed.

Except for Liuquanju Restaurant, Gao Jie pulled Wei Zhongxian aside and asked softly: "I didn't answer Brother Wang Rui's words just now, why does Uncle Wei seem to know it for a long time, could it be that you guessed something?"

Wei Zhongxian glanced at him and said with a smile: "You are an elf ghost, and the old man is not stupid!" The saint just sent Lord Luo the task of going to Houjin, and then you went to find Lord Xiong of the former Liaodong Jingluo, and Lord Xiong also mentioned one of his guards to Lord Luo for no reason, you can understand it when you think about it!"

Gao Jie shook his head and sighed: "Uncle Wei, you are really a veritable treacherous and cunning!"

Wei Zhongxian scolded with a smile: "What kind of old treacherous and cunning, the old man is called wise!" However, this matter is very important, and there will be many dangers along the way, remember to keep it secret, and pay more attention to safety, did you hear it?!"

Gao Jie was dumbfounded: "I didn't say I would go, how do you know?!"

Wei Zhongxian said lightly: "It's very simple, such a big matter, Lord Luo doesn't shy away from taking you to Lord Xiong for help, isn't this the lice on the bald man's brain, is it obvious?"

Gao Jie sighed: "As the saying goes, ginger is still old and spicy, it seems that Uncle Wei is a super spicy old ginger!"

Wei Zhongxian smiled bitterly: "Are you so boastful?"

Gao Jie smiled, then hesitated slightly, and then said solemnly: "Uncle Wei, the kid wants to say to you rashly, although you are loyal to the Holy Lord, and you are willing to stand up for him regardless of your reputation and risks, and do those things that he can't do but have to do, which makes Xiao Jie sincerely admire!

Wei Zhongxian was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "You kid is really a good person, I can't hide anything from you! It's just that after seeing the saint, you can think of so many things, it's just incredible!" After exclaiming, he nodded solemnly and said: "Although the old man has never read a book, he has heard it when listening to the play, and the eldest husband has done something and has not done anything! The emperor treats me like a mountain, and the old man can only sacrifice his life to repay him! Xiaojie, you value love and righteousness, the old man is not mistaken, I have written down everything you said, and I will consider it carefully!" Perhaps, my Wei family will rely on you to protect it in the future!"

Gao Jie nodded seriously and said, "As long as I can do it, I will never refuse!"

Looking at the handsome and extraordinary young man in front of him, Wei Zhongxian's eyes couldn't help but start to moisten, he hurriedly looked up at the sky, and muttered: "In this not peaceful world, it is not easy for everyone, we must all cherish it!"
