Chapter 998 The Way to Get Out
After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere of the banquet became more lively. Tian Jun couldn't resist the Third Highness, so he made a small order out of desperation, which immediately attracted everyone's admiration.

Most of the people who came to the banquet today were young men who loved poetry and literature. With Tian Jun as the starting point, everyone came and went, composing poems and poems, judging each other, and competing with each other.

The lively scene lasted until most of the young men passed out drunk at the table. Tian Jun retreated to the table with an apology for being too drunk.

He looked at Yang Zhiyuan beside him, who was eating food and drinking freely, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Young Master Yang is not kind, and it's hard to hide this from me."

Until now, he still couldn't tell that Yang Zhiyuan didn't meet him by chance on the street at all. The other party must have had an idea a long time ago, and he was invited to this banquet from the beginning.

"Brother Tian is blaming me for not being generous enough in this matter. Come on, come on, I'll punish myself with a glass of wine." Yang Zhiyuan laughed and drank the wine in the glass.

Tian Jun just said it casually. He didn't intend to argue with the other party. In fact, he couldn't afford to argue. The third prince had a distinguished status, so he could reject this invitation at a push.

He couldn't even offend Yang Zhiyuan, after all, his backer was Commander Lu, who was worth less than ten thousand people.

Tian Jun himself also raised a glass to drink together, which was an attitude. The strong wine went into his throat, and the hot taste dissipated in his throat, because his mood had never become hot because of this banquet. On the contrary, the more he thought about it, The more I feel the chills running down my spine.

"Young Master Yang, I am so stupid. I really don't understand why you are doing this," Tian Jun said with a bitter smile, "I wonder if you can speak frankly."

"Brother Tian, ​​you are so humble. You are the right-hand man of His Highness the Second Highness. You have been able to turn danger into danger many times for the Lord who is surrounded by enemies on all sides. The Third Highness is also a man who loves talents. Isn't it natural that he has some thoughts about you?" Yang Zhiyuan said with a smile.

"Just the Third Highness?" Tian Jun asked pointedly.

Yang Zhiyuan laughed, raised his glass and said, "Brother Tian, ​​please be patient and don't forget that although I can pull off a tiger's skin as a banner, in the final analysis I am just the son of a minister, so this act of playing both sides is helpless. "

Yang Zhiyuan is very self-aware that he, the Young Master, is really nothing in the capital. Even with the support of Mr. Lu, there are some people he cannot afford to offend, such as the Third Prince.

The fact that the other party was willing to put down his position to discuss the matter with him was for Mr. Lu's sake. Yang Zhiyuan knew his own weight and it was not an embarrassing matter, so he naturally agreed happily.

"Is what Mr. Yang said true?"

When Tian Jun saw Yang Zhiyuan nodding, he was slightly relieved. When he first thought about Yang Zhiyuan's manipulation, he was worried that Mr. Lu was behind this matter, which really frightened him.

Now that he knew that the original designer was His Highness the Third Prince, Tian Jun immediately put down the stone in his heart. It was not that he looked down upon this scholarly prince who was highly praised by scholars, but that compared with Commander Lu, no one could avoid it. Failed.

However, although this matter was not as troublesome as initially thought, it was still very embarrassing. The embarrassing thing was that as a retainer of His Highness the Second, he came to attend the banquet of the Third Prince without communicating with the Lord.

"Young Master Yang, you have caused me so much trouble." Tian Jun sighed.

But Yang Zhiyuan shook his head and said: "Brother Tian, ​​don't worry, this is what I did. I will return this favor to you tonight, how about it?"

Tian Jun suddenly woke up from most of his wine, and he said seriously: "Master Yang, please speak."

"The Third Highness finally invited you here, so naturally he is not willing to let you go easily. You and I did not avoid outsiders when we came. If the Second Highness knew about this, I am afraid it would hurt the relationship between you." Yang Zhiyuan signaled. The other party came closer and then said: "Although the deal is now settled, Brother Tian can still make up for it. If you leave the banquet as soon as possible and explain the matter to him clearly before His Highness hears the news, you may be able to eliminate the suspicion. .”

When Tian Jun heard this, he sighed: "Why don't I know this? It's just that I have tried it many times just now. Even if I say goodbye, His Highness will not let him go. I wonder if Mr. Yang has paid attention to the guards of His Highness. I've always been guarding the door, even if I want to leave without saying goodbye, I'm afraid it will be very difficult."

"That's why you need my help," Yang Zhiyuan looked around, and then whispered: "I also have some friendship with the manager of Jingshui Tower. Brother Tian can change his clothes later. The servant’s clothes and leave quietly.”

"Seriously?" Tian Jun's eyes lit up: "Young Master Yang is so kind, I will keep it in my heart."

"Hey, you're welcome." Yang Zhiyuan waved his hand and pulled the other party to continue drinking with a smile, without arousing the suspicion of the third prince.

On the other side, the third prince also used his drunken state to cover up and chatted in low voices with the staff who were following him.

"I like Mr. Tian's poems, and I have a true heart. Today I invited him here through Mr. Yang's hand. I have treated him dishonestly, and now I use Mr. Tian's method to plot against him. This is really not a gentleman. What you did.”

The third prince's expression was a little bitter. He was not as profound as Yang Zhiyuan thought. The scholarly temperament he carried was not a disguise. Most of it was natural.

However, the aide advised: "I also know that His Highness has a good heart, but if he does not implement this alienation plan, Tian Jun will never abandon His Highness so easily."

"But." The third prince still couldn't bear it. He had just sang against Tian Jun at the banquet. He was really happy and happy. When he thought that such a wonderful man would be criticized by others because of him, his heart ached.

"Your Highness!" the staff sighed, and then advised: "If Your Highness is really feeling sorry, you might as well wait until Mr. Tian returns to your service, and then reward him with a big gift to express your apology."

"That's all we have to do." Now that the matter has come to this, His Highness the Third Highness reluctantly agreed.

The banquet was still going on. In order to find an opportunity, Tian Jun had been acting on the occasion. After drinking heavily with Yang Zhiyuan, he pretended to be drunk.

Yang Zhiyuan came here to drink tonight. He didn't have any psychological burden anyway, so he drank freely. By the time Tian Jun left, he was already drunk and confused.

"Mr. Tian, ​​are you leaving?" Seeing Tian Jun stand up, the third prince hurriedly greeted him. He feigned anger and said, "Sir, why are you so disappointed? The banquet has just begun."

Tian Jun smiled and said: "This is natural. Please allow me to change my clothes first. I also want to have a few more drinks with His Highness."

The third prince blushed a little and said: "So that's it. I, the king, have fallen into disgrace. Sir, please don't blame me."

Just when the third prince released him and Tian Jun was about to escape quietly according to Yang Zhiyuan's forward plan, there was a sudden commotion outside the building, which was very loud.

Several people looked at each other for a while, not understanding what happened, until one of the Third Prince's guards hurriedly came to report: "Your Highness, it was the Second Highness who rushed up with his men."

This statement made Tian Jun's face suddenly turn extremely pale, the third prince and others also looked ugly, and even Yang Zhiyuan, who was lying on the table and sleeping drowsily, was startled by this sound and was half drunk.
