The 192nd Invitation
It was three o'clock in the hour, and Danqing hurriedly whipped his horse and drove his horse to run fast, hoping to get out before the city gate closed.
But not far ahead, Danqing reined in and cheered to slow down the horse, which was not to say that he was not in a hurry to get out of the city, but suddenly thought that Sima Yu was still in the car, and if he galloped like this, it would be very bumpy, so he slowed down.
Sima Yu in the car noticed that the speed had slowed down, and knew that Danqing cared about him, and felt very moved.
Although Sima Yu knew that the matter was urgent, she did not open her mouth to let Danqing speed up, but sat in the car and enjoyed the touch that Danqing brought her.
The reason why Sima Yu was so calm was that she knew that even at the current speed, they would be able to reach their destination before the agreed time.
It turned out that Sima Yu had advanced the agreed time by three days.
......
Here, Shi Le led the crowd outside the door of the mansion to wait for the arrival of Ma Tengyun and others.
Because it was the middle of winter, and the season in the north was not as good as in the south, Shi Le would send someone over to invite everyone before the unitary time.
At three o'clock, Shi Le saw the returning guards from a distance, followed by Ma Tengyun and others.
When they came near, the guards who had been ordered to ask for help dismounted and gave their lives to Shile.
The first to get off was Ma Tengyun's father and daughter, followed by Yichen and Zhexuan, and then Ziling.
It wasn't until he saw the cicada get out of the car that Shi Le's heart settled down, and he stepped forward with a smile to greet everyone and invite everyone to enter the mansion together.
Along with Shi Le, there were also Shi Jin and Du Le, Shi Jin stepped forward to greet the three girls who came, Du Le just accompanied him silently on the side, and did not speak too much.
When they arrived at the feast, everyone sat down one after another.
Counting the three girls who came to visit, there were five women at the table, led by Madame Shi, who sat on the left side of Shile in turn.
Although Ma Tengyun and Yichen are both distinguished guests, Shi Le is still sitting at the top of the position, and on the right are Dule, Ma Tengyun, Yichen, and Zhexuan.
Just after everyone sat down, the following Yahuan brought up the wine and food one after another.
While waiting for the dishes to be served, Shi Le ordered the maid ring beside him to fill the wine glasses in front of everyone in front of him.
Dule is a monk in the Western Regions and has no taboos, so Shile informed everyone present of this situation, so that they would not have an opinion on the national teacher.
Of course, this is just to say to the guests who came to say that the people at home, even the people in the house, and even the entire military camp know that the national teacher is not taboo in wine and meat.
Hearing that Du Le is not taboo in wine and meat, Ma Tengyun is quite old, and he has experienced a lot of scenes, and when other people have not yet reacted from the shock, his heart is full of doubts, "I don't know if this monk has quit sex or not? If he doesn't even quit sex, then he will only have a bald head left, can he still be called a monk?"
seems to know that among the people here, there will be people who have this question, just when Ma Tengyun was thinking, Shi Le immediately said that Du Le is not close to women, but not close to such a woman, as for what standard there is, he does not know.
Hearing that Du Le didn't even quit sex, Ma Tengyun's respect for him disappeared in his heart, and was replaced by a normal and even a little contemptuous attitude.
It may be that he has become accustomed to the opinion of many people in the world, or it may be because he has indeed achieved great success in his practice.
Whatever the reason, the end result is the same, that is, Turle doesn't care too much about it.
Although Durle didn't care about those things, he couldn't help but be a little moved at the moment, and showed a thoughtful expression.
Sensing Dule's strange appearance, Shi Le thought he was angry, and hurriedly explained to him, "That, don't blame the national teacher, Shi told everyone here about this, just to facilitate dinner, so as not to make any embarrassing things happen later." β
Hearing Shi Le's words, Du Le retracted his thoughts and opened his mouth: "Amitabha, the old man didn't care about that, but he suddenly remembered something, so this made the Lord misunderstand. β
Du Le will definitely not say what he feels, because what is involved is the lineage of Buddhism, and it has nothing to do with Shile.
DΓΌle could only feel a vague aura, and he wasn't sure if it was the thing he was looking for, so after his words fell, he instantly returned to normal.
Seeing that the national teacher did not mean to blame, Shi Le raised his glass and invited everyone present to start eating together.
During the meal, Ma Tengyun found that Shi Le did not have any special movements, and his words were polite, even to the cicada.
With this discovery, Ma Tengyun asked himself in his heart: "Could it be that when I was in the inn before, I really guessed wrong?" Shi Le didn't think about Yu Cicada in that regard. β
"But, it shouldn't be, according to his experience for so many years, Shi Le is definitely moved by the cicada, but why is he so calm and normal?"
It may be that Ma Tengyunwu has been in a trance for too long, and when Shi Le came to him with a glass and patted him on the shoulder, he reacted from his contemplation.
It turned out that Shi Le was shouting in the air to drink with Ma Tengyun, but seeing that he didn't react, he thought he had drunk too much, so he left his seat and walked over.
After reacting, Ma Tengyun pretended to be slightly drunk and clinked glasses with Shi Le and drank them all.
Seeing that Ma Tengyun suddenly became so refreshing, Shi Le was sure that he was really a little drunk, really drunk.
In fact, Shi Le didn't know that Ma Tengyun was pretending.
However, after touching a few glasses in the follow-up, Ma Tengyun was really drunk, and the drunk began to say some nonsense, this time it was not pretending.
At this moment, everyone present had eaten almost, or rather drank, to be exact, for everyone present was drunk, even the woman.
But at this moment, there are two people who are awake, that is, Shile and Dule.
However, to be exact, there are three sober people, and the other one is only slightly conscious, not as completely awake as Shile and the others.
This semi-conscious person is Yichen.
Shi Le didn't know that Yichen was still conscious, and after seeing everyone lying on the table one after another, he called Yahuan to help his wife and daughter back to the room to rest.
Then Shi Le called a few more maids and told them to help the rest of the people back to the prepared room to rest.
It's just that later, Shi Le opened his mouth and asked people to leave the cicada alone.
Immediately afterwards, Shi Le spoke again: "National Teacher, the medicine you brought is really powerful, but is this antidote really as you said, if you eat it, you will wake up quickly, and you will feel weak and unable to move." β
"Amitabha, how can the old man deceive the Lord. When he heard this, he got up and raised his hand in reply.
Just after Dule had finished answering Shile's question, he suddenly spoke again, "Wait, you put these people down first, and help them away in order." β
It turned out that it was Durle who remembered the vague breath he had felt at first, and he thought that it was probably in one of the people here.
Along with Dulle's voice, another voice sounded, "I didn't expect you to do such a dirty thing." β
As the words fell, Yichen stood up from his seat, and the voice just now came from his mouth.
Not only Shile, but even Dule did not expect that someone would be able to stand up soberly after taking that medicine.
Based on what Yichen said when he got up, he judged that he was still conscious at the moment, and he must have heard the conversation between himself and the Lord.
Seeing that Yichen was awake, Shi Le raised his eyes and looked at Dule, meaning to ask him what was going on, and how to solve it?
At this moment, Du Le did not pay attention to Shi Le's movements, but was engrossed in observing Yichen's situation.
DΓΌle thought to himself that the reason why Yichen would not be poisoned and faint was probably because that thing was on his body.
At this moment, the maids next to them all stopped after hearing Dule's words, especially when they saw Yichen suddenly stand up, they all stopped and looked at Shile, asking what to do next.
Seeing this, Shi Le knew that there might be a fight later, and even if there was no fight, the next situation would not be seen by these subordinates, so he opened his mouth and asked them to retreat first.
After the maids were ordered, they all hurriedly retreated.
When all the maids left, Du Le spoke, "Amitabha, the donor can still be sober after taking the medicine, I don't know if it's inconvenient to tell the reason." β
Listening to Dule's tone and words, Yichen knew that he didn't mean to discuss at all, and if he didn't answer his question, then he would do it next.
Even though he knew that Du Le would do it, Yichen really didn't know why he was in a state of being awake, to be exact, he should be semi-conscious, because he felt a little more confused at the moment.
Seeing that Yichen was silent for a long time, Shi Le interjected tentatively and said, "National Teacher, is it necessary to know this? β
Although Yichen knew about his conspiracy, he was about to become his son-in-law after all, so Shi Le didn't have the intention of killing people, but just asked Du Le to subdue him.
Yichen felt that his consciousness was gradually blurring, so he reached out and shook Zhexuan's body vigorously, hoping to wake him up, after all, this cicada was the most important thing to him.
