The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the atmosphere at the dinner table became more lively. Perhaps it was because everyone present drank a lot of wine. In short, these words changed with the wine they drank. There are more and more, but because of the previous incident, the conversations of the people present have become more targeted, and they are all discussing things about sailing and doing business today.

Although none of the people present had been overseas at all, this did not prevent them from knowing what happened there. In fact, let alone Zhang Fan, even the others had heard of sailing to Europe. The details later, and some of Zhang Fan's subordinates are now running the boat, so these people are quite clear about the things over there. If it wasn't because Joanna was a female relative, it would be hard for this table to be full of men. If you are seated at the table, I am afraid that it is most appropriate for her to introduce this matter. After all, no matter how many people have been to Europe, they are not as familiar with it as she, a native European.

However, even if Joanna was not asked to come and explain, the people at this table still said they were very happy. Of course, in fact, the definition of very happy is just a heated discussion after all. After the goods are shipped to Europe, even the goods purchased with a small cost can bring huge profits, that is to say, everyone is discussing how much money will be made in the future.

It seems that this kind of question is really a bit strange at the wine table where these people's identities gather. After all, this is a place where a prince and several high-ranking officials gather, but discussing these things here is full of problems. The matter of copper smell is really inappropriate, but it also proves the saying, "Money is not everything, but without money is absolutely impossible", whether it is a minister, a prince, or The emperor or the whole country, things like money are very important.

Besides, none of the people present showed any objection anyway. Instead, they showed great interest in this issue. It has to be said that everyone wants something, and what they want is What, it is extremely unpredictable.

And Zhang Fan is also among them, and Zhang Fan also occupies a very important position in this discussion. After all, since he has agreed to Zhu Xuanqi before, he will be Zhu Xuanqi's partner in this from now on. Therefore, no matter whether it is true or not, Zhang Fan has to show a very interested look in the future. Interesting, after all, now, no matter how you look at it, Zhu Xuanqi himself is in high spirits, no matter what Zhang Fan can't refute his face.

But even so, in fact, most of Zhang Fan's energy was still on Wang Meng who was sitting opposite him, and he had to be careful not to let Zhu Xuanqi who was sitting beside him see him. Zhang Fan was so careful that something went wrong, which made him feel that this job was really tiring.

It’s tiring, but you still have to watch. In fact, it’s not too late for Zhang Fan to wait until after the banquet to ask Wang Meng what he found. During the chat, Zhang Fan still took time to look at Wang Meng to see if he had made any progress.

However, the results of the observation made Zhang Fan a little disappointed. He saw that so far, Wang Meng naturally knew, and he looked at Zhang Fan several times. Without exception, almost every time, Wang Meng turned to Zhang Fan slightly He shook his head vigorously, indicating that there was still no progress over there, and this made Zhang Fan feel uncomfortable almost every time.

Zhang Fan couldn't understand what kind of message Wang Meng wanted to convey to him. After all, this was the wine table, and it was impossible for Zhang Fan to ask Wang Meng if he had discovered anything. However, just from Wang Meng's shaking his head Zhang Fan couldn't understand what he wanted to say at all. It meant that Joanna had revealed the signal according to the method he taught her before, but no one responded, or that Wang Meng didn't realize that there was something wrong. Someone made some strange move, or Joanna hasn't found a suitable opportunity to do this until now.

Wang Meng kept shaking his head like this, Zhang Fan naturally hoped that the situation would be the latter, but now all these things are unknown, and Zhang Fan has no way to ask, which made Zhang Fan feel anxious, but, here At this moment, no matter how anxious Zhang Fan was, he could only think about it in his heart, and the more he was like this, the more he felt that this was a kind of torment.

Not only that, on the surface Zhang Fan had to pretend that nothing happened, and not only that, he also had a laughing conversation with Zhu Xuanqi, looking forward to a bright future, which made Zhang Fan It was very uncomfortable, but he had to do this again.

Zhang Fan's side is suffering, but Wang Meng's side is also feeling uncomfortable. Originally, although Zhang Fan's plan was actually all based on good luck, which sounds very ethereal, but even In this way, even Wang Meng feels that this matter has a very high chance of being successful. Although Wang Meng was born as a warrior, he has killed countless people no matter on the battlefield or after being a Jin Yiwei, so he knows how to prepare in advance. The importance of luck, but he is also very sure of the importance of luck.

However, it wasn't until Wang Meng came here with Zhang Fan and sat down that Wang Meng further discovered what kind of thing luck is.

According to what they knew, the people working on this table, apart from Zhu Xuanqi, are just a few people from the capital. Of course, Wang Meng is also added now, but in fact, there is no need to go to these things. I think, no matter how you look at it, these are the people who are qualified to sit here now. Although Wang Meng is a special case, since Zhu Xuanqi has spoken, there is nothing to say.

But in fact, the people here are a little different from what everyone thought before. It's not that there are any changes, there are still a few people, but when they are finally seated, they find that there is one more.

That's right, there was one more person than expected, and whoever was added was the guard surnamed Zhao who went to Zhang Fan's residence today and told them that Zhu Xuanqi was going to hold a banquet.

As for this guard Zhao, when Zhang Fan saw him for the first time, he just thought he was just running errands for the palace. After all, although such things are important, it doesn't matter whoever sends the message, and, He went to Liu Xian's camp alone, which made this person even more irrelevant.

But then, Zhang Fan found something different. It was when Wang Meng and Liu Ting were competing in the martial arts arena. Zhang Fan and Zhao Huwei were talking off the court. Although the two of them didn't talk much, But Zhang Fan also learned a lot from it.

Zhang Fan didn't think this little guard could know much at first, and it was also because he didn't care about the other party, which made him feel that even if he asked the other party for something, it was nothing, and it would be good if he could find out something. But if you can't find out, there is no loss.

However, after Zhang Fan had a conversation with him, Zhang Fan discovered the problem. This young guard Zhao is not an ordinary person. Judging from his abilities, he is definitely not as simple as an ordinary guard.

Just from such a matter, Zhang Fan gave this guard Zhao a definition. This person definitely has some skills. Similarly, how much weight does his status as a guard have in the palace? I reconsidered whether he was hiding something, or that he was extremely trusted by the king of Shu in the first place.

Afterwards, Zhang Fan also learned a lot about this aspect, and since Zhang Fan lived in the Shu Palace, he could often see this guard Zhao, although he only saw this side every day, but this It also means that this guard Zhao is able to enter and leave the inner courtyard of the palace. From this point alone, it can be seen that this person surnamed Zhao is definitely deeply trusted by Zhu Xuanqi. Otherwise, how could he even be able to enter and leave the inner courtyard of the palace at will? Woolen cloth.

However, just from the point of being able to freely enter and leave the inner courtyard of the palace, there is really not much to see. After all, this is the palace and needs protection, and the inner courtyard is no exception. Once the thieves entered the inner courtyard, but there were no guards in the inner courtyard, it would be over, although no matter what, there must be guards entering and leaving the inner courtyard of the palace.

Perhaps this person surnamed Zhao is just one of these guards.

However, the banquet tonight gave Zhang Fan and others a deeper understanding. This person surnamed Zhao was the only one sitting beside this table besides Zhu Xuanqi. He is not the only guard in the inner courtyard, but now he is the only one who can sit here. It is conceivable that his weight in the palace is very small and very heavy.

Moreover, he happened to be sitting next to Wang Meng. The status of the two of them was the lowest in this banquet. Even though Wang Meng's status was much higher than his, sitting together as two people was really nothing to say. .

But in this way, Wang Meng didn't feel very comfortable. Originally relying on his skill, it was easy to observe people in this kind of situation, but now there is also a martial arts practitioner next to him, although his skill is not as good as Wang Meng's, But who can say this kind of thing accurately, in case he finds out something...
