The banquet was held in the largest building in Wen County. 【...】

On the eve of the wedding, entertain the guests well, but not drink so much that it affects the ceremony tomorrow.

The guests in the hall were divided into several groups: a group of nobles from Lu and Song who came back with Zhao Wuxi, a group of sons and grandsons of the small kingdom of Si Shang, and a group of nobles who came to join us from Jin.

Zhao's Yousi, who was in charge of receiving the guests, called out loudly outside.

"His Majesty's envoy, Shi Mo, arrives!" This was the historian beside Jin Houwu, who came to record today's grand occasion. The wise old man glanced at the hall, and then bowed to Zhao Wuxi, saying that the paper he made in the State of Lu would surely benefit thousands of Li Shu, and after it was immortal, he sat silently in the corner, as if The old immortal fell silent and said nothing.

"The doctor from the army Sima is here!" This is from Qin, serving as the army Sima. He was originally a subordinate of Zhao Yang. Now that Zhao Yang has been promoted to the military officer of the army, he has become a subordinate of the army general Zhong Xingyin, but with Zhao Yang. The relationship between the clans is still good, and because he used to be Zhao Wuxi's "teacher" in the Pan Palace, Wu Xie even had to respectfully perform the teacher's salute. Although Ji Qin tried his best to put on a smile, Wu Xie could still see that his smile was only superficial.

"The scholar is here!" Then came Shi Miao, the Shi family is the main family of the Fan family, but now it is far less prosperous than the Fan family that was separated from it, and the big and small sects have turned the cart before the horse. Shimian was stationed in the southernmost part of the Jin State, defending the army of Qin, Chu, and Yiluo, and had two divisions of soldiers in his hand. This person has an average relationship with Fan Jis, and Zhao Yang is a good friend of Mo Ni in his early years. Compared with Fan, he is closer to Zhao.

When Zhao Yang introduced Wu-shirt, Shimie was amazed, saying that the tiger father really has no dog. Although I have heard Zhao Yang say many times, how heroic Shimiao was when he was young to conquer Lu Hun and Zhurong. But in Zhao Wuxi's eyes, he was just a fat man with a red face and long beard, sweating profusely, walking like he was addicted to the things in the cup.

Throughout the first half of the night, Zhao Wuxi followed Zhao Yang and greeted the guests at the entrance of the main hall. The groom's face froze. However, when the next list was revealed by You Si Nian, a sincere smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

They finally came.

But I heard You Si Mao shouted loudly: "Wei Qing Shizi, Han Qing's grandson, and Doctor Tongjiao are coming together!"

...

Because it was a private banquet rather than a state banquet or a family banquet, the atmosphere in the hall was more relaxed and active. Generally, elders such as Shimiao gathered in front of Zhao Yang to talk about the past and the present. The younger generation played with friends and friends by themselves, including pot throwing, chess, and double land.

Wedding banquets and banquets are not fancy. For the Chinese people in the Spring and Autumn Period, they were still a diplomatic platform for officials and officials to develop friendship with each other for hundreds of years. I don't know how many oaths and conspiracies have been reached at a happy feast...

Zhao Yang and Zhao Wuxi have a clear division of labor tonight, and the relationship between the older generation is maintained by the charisma and promised benefits of the father. As for the younger generation, Zhao Wuxi had to win over them with old friendship and tempt them with interests.

After meeting with the guests in the main hall, and after a small circle of respect, Zhao Bolu came out to receive the guests instead of Wu Xie, while Zhao Wu Xie was carrying the wine jug and walked towards his old acquaintances. Call them one by one.

"Zi Yin."

The jade-like young man raised his head, his appearance and bearing made all the nobles of Jin state dream of Huaichun girls. Han Hu nodded slightly to Zhao Wuxi. The two only met in Lu State last year, but Zhao Wuxi found that he was congratulating him with a meaningful smile, which felt like he had glimpsed Wu Xie's secret.

"Ziteng."

The burly but thoughtful Wei Ju turned around, his eyes were clear, he was more than eight feet tall, with a thick black beard like iron wire covering his fat chin, a thick waist and abdomen, and strong arms. Unlike Han's gentle and quiet gentleman, Wei's family has the image of a domineering warrior for several generations. He looked Zhao Wuxi up and down with complicated eyes. Then there was an affectionate smile.

"Also, Fu Li!"

Looking at the person in front of him, Zhao Wuxi couldn't help feeling that time was passing, and Le Fuli had changed a lot compared to a few years ago. The cheerfulness on his face was a little less. His father died young, so he took up the responsibility of the clan early and put on the crown of the doctor.

However, when Le Fuli opened his mouth with a smile, Zhao Wuxi knew that his temperament had not changed, and he was still amusing.

"I knew this earlier. I let my father chase and beat me in the courtyard a few more times a few years ago. Now he wants to beat me under Huangquan, and he has to wait for decades... Hey, I am a dutiful son, It seems that I can only indulge in alcoholism and try to accompany him as soon as possible." After saying that, Le Fuli respected Zhao Wuxi and sighed that it would be nice if his good friend Zhang Mengtan was also there.

"Meng Tan is now Zitai's chief minister. He wants to protect the foundation of General Zhao in Lu, how can he come?" Wei Jumian hides a needle in his mouth, and he doesn't know whether it is jealous or envious. Now everyone knows that he is in the military system, Na Xian Shang imitated Zhao Wuxi.

Han Hu smiled and said nothing, his eyes swept across the faces of everyone in the hall, and continued to pretend to be an elegant gentleman. In fact, he had already arrived in Wenxian County. In the afternoon, Bolu had a conversation with him, so he was a little upset now.

Zhao Wuxi looked at the three people in front of him and knew that except for Le Fuli, who was an optimist, the other two had their own thoughts. Back then, in the Pan Palace, they were considered a group that held a group together, and they communicated frequently, but today they have a lot of differences. The topics are intermittent, but they are not as close as they were when they were young.

The Zhao family now holds the handle of Fan and Bank of China's private peace talks with Qi and Wei, and also threatens Handan Wu to fall to Zhao's side. In fact, although the so-called indictment testimony is important, it is not the decisive factor, because the final arbiter, Jinhou, never makes a decision based on evidence, but depends on which of the plaintiff and the defendant is more powerful, and supports which one...

In the past, the expulsion of the Hu clan, the difficulty of going to the palace, the death of San Que, the chaos of Luan Ying, and the destruction of Qi and Yang Tong clan were all like this.

Treason? Conspiracy? It's all bullshit! It is nothing more than coveting your property and territory, so you make up a plausible and unwarranted charge.

As long as the power of the initiator is sufficient, then if you want to add a crime, there is no need to worry! Zhao Wuxi didn't expect any confrontation at all, as long as he could obtain a legitimate name, he could immediately start a war of genocide!

But if they want to achieve their goals, he and Zhao Yang have to rely on the strength of the other nobles and even the doctors.

East and West Two Zhao is strong, but not strong enough to be able to defeat five with one...

Besides, in this matter, the Wei family and the Han family are natural allies!

But it's not a good place to talk.

The heat in the hall was steaming, and the lined tables were filled with the aroma of roasted rice cakes and wheat cakes. Wendi's maid is playing the piano and singing, singing ballads. With peach blossoms on the ends of her hair, she danced the foxtrot dance that Daji fascinated Di Xin. Covered by the hustle and bustle of lanterns and candles, the collision of beans and dishes, and the chatter, the surroundings seemed a bit noisy and stuffy.

Zhao Wuxi suddenly stood up. He invited the three of them, "Two or three sons, how about going out to get some air? I know that there is a Taoyuan garden near the river behind this hall. Tonight, the moon and stars are rare, it's a good time to visit the garden!"

...

Sheng, song and dance music flowed out from behind the four, and the sound of extravagance was getting farther and farther away. until it disappears.

At this point, they have been far away from the hustle and bustle, carrying palace lanterns, and walked into the exceptionally quiet peach forest, walking in the peach forest like fireflies in summer.

There is no one here, and the surroundings are awe-inspiring, except for the sound of the rushing water of the rushing river and the rustling of peach blossoms and peach leaves trembling in the evening wind. Zhao Wuxi took a slight sniff, only to feel that the scent of the lavender that my sister left here yesterday still lingers, as if it was more than the scent of peach in the garden.

"Sure enough, it's a good place for a night tour!" Han Hu is very elegant and can come outside to breathe. The sullen mood was swept away, and his slender fingers stroked the peach petals in the night, which was very useful.

The burly Wei Ju was a little vigilant, and carefully observed the surroundings. Is there an ambush in the winding path, is there an assassin hiding behind the strangely curved old peach tree?

"Ziteng, treat Wenxian as your own home, the Wei family's enemy is not here, don't worry." Zhao Wuxi said something.

Wei Ju was shocked, opened his mouth and smiled: "Zhao Wei is a friend of the world. Wen County is full of black clothes, and the defense is strict, so I can rest assured." He was still full of suspicion, and the moonlight reflected the shadow under his feet very small.

Just as Han wanted to hug his thighs because of Zhao's strength, Wei, who had lost his hard-core ally since the destruction of Luan, also wanted to have a good relationship with Zhao. This time he took this mission. He was assigned by his father Wei Hao.

Without a shirt and without breaking it, he changed his words and talked about Xintian Pangong, where several people studied together.

"That was six years ago. I remember that there was also a peach forest at the entrance of Pan Palace. It was also this season. The four of us worked together with Meng Tan and Guang De, and worked hard with Fan and Bank of China in the sword room. A fight!"

Between men, they have fought together, and the relationship is naturally different. Talking about the past pangong fights, plus the fun of Le Fuli from time to time, drinking peach blossoms and a few sakes, the relationship between them is better than before. They got close to each other a lot, and they only need to cross their shoulders and call them brothers.

Wei Ju patted his round belly and boasted, "The day I heard Meng Tan came to ask for help and said that Zitai was in danger, I took a few cousins ​​over without hesitation."

Han Hu also smiled and said, "Don't look at the fact that I didn't see blood that day, but I also brought down several Bank of China boys who wanted to attack Zitai."

Le Fuli added: "However, Zitai is still the bravest, punching Fan He and kicking the black arm of the middle row, it's really enjoyable!"

Zhao Wuxi said implicitly: "It was really a young man at that time, and he was able to show his age for the sake of a promise."

He suddenly stood up and sincerely saluted the three: "If it weren't for the second or third son, I would have been humiliated by Fan He and Zhong Xingyin! Wu Xian has no other talent, but he knows his gratitude and repays him, and he can cut the neck of his friend Mo Ni. Wait, I will swear here today that I will never forget you if you are rich and noble!"

With Zhao Wuxi's current achievements, the three of them did not dare to neglect, not even Dao.

Le Fuli also joked: "Zitai, you are now the Zhengqing of the Lu country, under one person, above ten thousand people, how rich and noble! How can you say 'gou wealthy' again?" After saying that, the three looked at each other and laughed. .

Zhao Wuxi swayed the wine in the cup and smiled without saying a word, and after a while, he said: "There are many unowned Qianshi towns in the east of Lu, and it is also possible to give three or more towns to Tang Muyi, as long as three If you agree, the tax tribute can be sent to the government after the autumn harvest."

The three of them couldn't help being moved, and at the same time they were coveted, especially Le Fuli, who had the least power in his hand. Zhao Wuxi was worthy of being in charge of Qiancheng, and he was also a figure who expanded the territory for hundreds of miles in the Wei Kingdom.

Wu Xie said again: "But this is only a small wealth, in fact, there is another great wealth, and I want to share it with the three sons..."

Wei Ju and Han Hu's eyes lit up, and they asked, "What kind of wealth?"

Zhao Wu Xie suddenly stopped talking, deliberately trying to sway their appetite.

It wasn't until Wei Ju pretended to be sullen that he was in a hurry, and Wu Xie said: "Actually, when I get married~lightnovelpub.net~ this matter will be officially notified to Han, Wei Erqing and the doctors of Jin State, and then we will naturally know about it. , don't be in a hurry."

Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhao Wuxi said again: "The Zhao, Wei, and Han families have been friends for nearly two hundred years, and when it came to Zhao Wenzi, Wei Zhuangzi, and Han Xuanzi, they cooperated closely, almost to the extent that they were indistinguishable from each other... …”

He took the hands of the three of them: "Our ancestors' friendship in the world is very precious, and we can't lose it in our generation, Ziyin, Ziteng, and Fuli. Today's sky is high and airy, and the peach blossoms are gorgeous. Why don't we make an appointment with brothers here, and then seek a great wealth for the clan, how about it?"
