low-key is king

Chapter 1332

"Misunderstanding? Master Xiang thinks so, does Mr. Xu think so too?"

Lu Xun glanced at the right minister Situ Xian indifferently, and then turned his gaze to Xu Jian. The words in his mouth meant something, which was also a very shrewd way of speaking.

If Xu Jian said he didn't think so, he would be against Prime Minister Right, but did he really think so?Lu Xun didn't think so.

Anyway, Lu Xun knew clearly that after today's incident, he and the chief guest of the prime minister's mansion had already settled a relationship.

But with his current strength, he still doesn't take Xu Jian seriously.

Even if Xu Jian concealed something, can he hide it from the right minister Situ Xian, and Lu Xun who has the eye of reincarnation?

In just one sentence, Lu Xun set a trick for Xu Jian. If there is a rift between the two powerhouses in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, it may be more convenient for him to act in the future.

"Master Xiang said yes, so of course it is!"

Xu Jian is an old man, and he will not be caught by the other party. He nodded his head, and then turned his sharp eyes directly to Tao Ji who was below him.

"Tao Ji, you are so courageous!"

A stern voice broke out from Xu Jian's mouth, and Lu Xun couldn't help but sigh with emotion at the decisiveness of the chief minister of the prime minister's mansion. Since it is impossible to do anything, he should express his position in time.

Just now the right minister, Situ Xian, has already expressed his attitude, and this matter has a certainty in the face of the facts of Shui Yuejing.

If Xu Jian defended his third son Tao Ji again, it would be blatant and unruly.

Although it is said that the strong are respected in this world, there are still some reasons to be spoken in public.

If the reputation of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion collapses, how can we recruit more capable people and strangers in the future?
"Father, I...I..."

Tao Ji, who was still breathing heavily just now, wanted to see his foster father avenge him, was startled by this loud shout at the moment, and everyone could clearly see his body trembling violently one time.

This drinking sound seemed to drink away the breath that Tao Ji had been carrying all the time.

Immediately afterwards, his face changed instantly, turning into the color of spoiled pork liver, and he couldn't lift it up in one breath, and his head was tilted to one side.

"So dead?"

Seeing this scene, the faces of the onlookers became a bit weird again, and at the same time they turned their eyes to Xu Jian, secretly thinking that there might be some offensive aura in the loud shout just now, right?

Others believed that Tao Ji was frightened to death. In that dying situation, it is possible for Xu Jian to be so angry that he would die directly.

"Okay, Tao Ji is dead, the misunderstanding has been resolved!"

Situ Xian, the prime minister on the right, took a step forward and took over Xu Jian's words, completely unable to see that he was actually the one who stood by and watched just now, and his attitude seemed extremely enthusiastic.

Being able to sit in the position of the right minister of the Wei State, Situ Xian is naturally a person who can afford to let go. He knows that Xu Jian and Lu Yuan have already had a rift, and I am afraid that he can only come forward on this matter.

However, no one knew that deep down in the heart of the Right Minister of the Wei Kingdom, there was actually a tinge of relief. Xu Jian had ambitions, so why didn't he see it, but it was hard to expose it.

Now this Lu Yuan doesn't seem to give Xu Jian any face at all, making Situ Xian feel that he can bring him into the prime minister's house, and then he can also check and balance Xu Jian.

Presumably after today's incident, in Xu Jian's heart, Lu Yuan has already been accepted as the one who must be killed.

When the two fight, his control over the Prime Minister's Mansion will naturally be a bit more stable, which is also a way of imperial power.

For an abandoned Tao Ji, it doesn't matter whether he lives or dies, the important thing is that Situ Xian wants to express his eagerness to seek talents at this moment.

And Lu Yuan, who can kill Tao Ji with a single punch, probably has at least the strength of the seven realms, right?
"Mr. Lu Yuan, it's the prime minister who is not strict with his orders, and almost caused him to be wronged for nothing. Today, the prime minister will have a big banquet in the mansion to calm the storm for the mister!"

I have to say that Situ Xian, the right minister, is really good at being a man, and the relationship between the two has been brought closer with just a few words.

It seemed that if the other party refused to agree to stay for this welcome banquet, it would mean not giving him face as a right-hand man.

But it's worth mentioning that if Lu Yuan really didn't show face and said he was going to leave, it would be a different situation.

Situ Xian would never let such a talent fall into the hands of other forces.

What you can't get yourself, you can't let others get it. This is the purpose of Situ Xian's life.

And if Lu Yuan was sensible and declared after the welcome banquet that he wanted to work for the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, then Situ Xian would naturally treat him politely.

In his opinion, Lu Yuan is much more important than a dead Tao Ji.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey!"

In fact, Lu Xun didn't take Xu Jian and Situ Xian seriously at all. He didn't want to care about the little things in the other party's mind. The reason why he came to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion actually had some other purpose.

Therefore, Lu Xun was as good as he was, and this kind of answer also made Situ Xian smile, but looking at the smile on Xu Jian's face on the other side, it was quite forced.

The turmoil ended here, but some caring people thought a lot in their hearts, secretly thinking that this might be the beginning of another power struggle.

Lu Yuan, who has just entered the prime minister's mansion, doesn't look like a fuel-efficient lamp at first glance.

But relatively speaking, these guards and guest officials of the prime minister's mansion are still more optimistic about Xu Jian.

After all, this is the Chief Guest Minister of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and his half-step Eight Realm cultivation base is rare in the entire Wei Kingdom.

A fledgling boy who just arrived, wants to fight Xu Gong, maybe he is still a little tender, but he doesn't know when Xu Gong will make another move.

The reception banquet hosted by Right Prime Minister Situ Xian, of course, not just anyone can attend, and only some distinguished guests in the Prime Minister's residence can join the banquet.

It is worth mentioning that Yan Bao, a guy who has just broken through to the seventh realm, was also invited to the table, which made him a little flattered. Sitting next to so many big shots, he felt very uncomfortable.

Relatively speaking, the black-clothed boy who had just entered the prime minister's mansion less than half a day ago was much calmer.

There was no sign of embarrassment at all on his face, which made Situ Xian take another high look.

Lu Xun secretly sensed that on this table, besides Situ Xian and Xu Jian, who were half-steps to the eighth stage, there was also a strong man who had reached the seventh stage, ranking second in the position of guest minister, Second only to Xu Jian.

As for the others, including Xu Jian's No. [-] and No. [-] adoptive sons, both of them have reached the Seventh Realm, and their strength is definitely not low.

The rest are some solo guests, they are not from Xu Jian's family, they only obey the orders of the prime minister, and Xu Jian's attitude is lukewarm, obviously he doesn't like these guests very much.

It can also be seen from this that Xu Jian is indeed the most powerful party in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, and high-end powerhouses account for more than half.

If one day he really wants to seize power, Situ Xian may not be able to win steadily.

Lu Xun took a look at these private relationships and stopped thinking about them.

As long as these guys don't take the initiative to provoke him, he will leave when he gets what he wants, and try not to get involved in the power struggle in the right minister's mansion.

But if anyone dares to make trouble for him, then Lu Xun will not be polite.

When that time really came, he would not be afraid to turn this Right Prime Minister's Mansion and even the entire Wei Kingdom upside down.

"Come on, let me offer a toast to Mr. Lu!"

The second guest of the prime minister's mansion who had completed the seven realms had a red face, seeing him standing up with a wine glass, he was the first guest of the prime minister's mansion to toast to Lu Xun.

After all, those guys in Xu Jian's family knew that Lord Yifu didn't like Lu Yuan, so it was impossible to toast first. The atmosphere at the banquet just now was really dull.

As the Right Prime Minister, of course, Situ Xian also had to take into account his own status. He had been waiting for Lu Yuan to toast him, but he never expected it.

At this moment, the second guest guest named Zhuo Feng suddenly spoke, which broke the deadlock during the meeting, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively, which made Situ Xian quite satisfied.

"Mr. Zhuo is too polite!"

From Yan Bao's mouth, Lu Xun knew a lot about these high-ranking figures in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. At this moment, he raised his wine glass to greet them, causing a strange light to flash in the depths of Xu Jian's eyes on the other side.

"Master Xiang, I also offer you a toast!"

Xu Jian glanced at the black-clothed boy over there, and then raised his glass to the right minister, Situ Xian. Perhaps in his heart, the only person on this table who deserves his first toast is the right minister.

"Hehe, Mr. Xu, you may have mistaken the protagonist, why don't you offer a toast to Mr. Lu first?"

Unexpectedly, after Xu Jian raised his wine glass, the Prime Minister on the opposite side suddenly smiled and said, making one of his arms freeze in the air, neither stretching nor shrinking, and his expression was a little embarrassed.

Xu Jian harbored resentment towards Lu Yuan due to the day-to-day affairs, and now he was unwilling to propose a toast to Lu Yuan.

But at this moment, Master Xiang took the initiative to speak again, if Xu Jian didn't follow suit, it might cause Situ Xian's dissatisfaction.

Before everything was ready, he didn't want to turn against the right minister.

Therefore, Xu Jian at this time was in a state of being unable to ride a tiger. If he had known this would be the result, he might as well have kept silent and disrespected even the glass of wine he gave the prime minister.

"Master Xiang is right, Mr. Lu, I respect Xu for doing it first!"

After pondering for a while, Xu Jian finally compromised. He turned the wine glass slightly towards Lu Xun's direction, and at the same time made a sound, raised the glass and drank it down in one gulp.

This whole set of actions was done in one go and was quite coherent. Except for Yan Bao, there were all well-informed old monsters on the table. Naturally, they knew what Xu Jian was thinking, and they didn't expose it at this time.

"What are you doing in a daze, tonight we want to make Mr. Lu not drunk and not coming home!"

The smile on the right minister Situ Xian's face remained undiminished, and since Xu Jian had already toasted first, his two adopted sons had nothing to be reserved, but deep down in their hearts, they both had a faint thought.
