Chapter 156
Compared with fighting with swords in the Cheng family, singing and dancing in Prince Ning's mansion is the way to treat guests.

Seeing that Xiao Que came alone, King Ning couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes, and said to Xiao Que, "Why didn't Miss Fu come?"

Xiao Que glanced at King Ning. It seemed that King Ning had never concealed his kindness towards Fu Yunshu since he saw Fu Yunshu. to the annex."

Xiao Que said without changing his face, never mentioning that Fu Yunshu didn't come to Prince Ning's Mansion because of Lin Lang's tantrum with him.

Regret flashed in King Ning's eyes, and Lin Lang smiled and said to King Ning when he saw this, "Why does the emperor only care about mentioning Miss Fu instead of inviting Mr. Xiao to sit?"

Here King Ning seemed to have just come back to his senses, and quickly apologized to Xiao Que and said: "This king was negligent, Mr. Xiao, please sit down."

Xiao Que just sat down here, and King Ning seemed to ask unintentionally: "When Marshal Cheng provoked General Xie at the ferry, I always made this king feel bad, and wanted to hold a private banquet to apologize for Marshal Cheng, but I didn't expect General Xie This kind of magnanimity has settled the suspicion with Marshal Cheng."

The servant served tea, Xiao Que smiled and said: "Marshal Cheng has a strong personality, the one who came to the mansion is Young General Cheng."

King Ning asked curiously, "I wonder when General Xie became friends with Young General Cheng?"

Xiao Que smiled lightly, and said: "General Xie has a lot of friends, and I am dressed in white, so it is naturally inconvenient to ask."

Although Xiao Que said this in a tone without any ups and downs, it naturally has another meaning in the ears of others.

On the one hand, it reveals that the relationship between him and Xie Yizhi is not harmonious; on the other hand, he reveals that because of his body in white, although he is the head of the mission, Xie Yizhi, who is a third-rank general, never takes him seriously. Expressing dissatisfaction with Xie Yizhi.

As soon as Xi's mission came to Li, Cheng Meng provoked them. In addition, Xiao Que walked very close to King Ning and Lin Lang afterwards, making King Ning think that Xiao Que was on their side.

But just now Cheng Jia Ning Wang's Mansion came to the other hall at the same time. Although Xiao Que came to Ning Wang's Mansion, he let Fu Yunshu and Xie Yizhi go to Cheng's house together. Such actions make people unable to see clearly the mission of Xi Kingdom Which side is it facing.

Now hearing the discord between Xiao Que and Xie Yizhi's tone, King Ning had a slight smile on his lips, and Xiao Que didn't seem to want to mention Xie Yizhi, so King Ning wisely didn't bring up the matter, and instead ordered his servants to prepare a banquet , Let Lin Lang talk with Xiao Que, the intention is self-evident.

The place where King Ning hosted the banquet was in his own garden. It was autumn, and there were several golden osmanthus plants planted in the yard. It was the time when the osmanthus flowers were in bloom, and the fragrance of osmanthus wafted in the air.

The chrysanthemums in autumn were blooming just right, but there were no chrysanthemums in the garden. Begonias and crape myrtle were planted. It was the season of blooming, and the pink flowers in the yard were blooming gorgeously, just like spring.

The autumn sunshine was just right, and it fell on Xiao Que's white clothes. The orchid and jade trees, like ink silhouettes, had one or two pink flowers that fell on his skirt and never brushed off, adding a little more charming color.

The man folded his sleeves, took out something from the sleeves and said: "Yesterday Yun Shu was so stubborn that he broke the princess's strings, Xiao felt very sorry."

It was a red sandalwood box, with twelve different flowers carved on the outside, it was very delicate, and there was a strange fragrance in the hand, no matter what atonement it was inside, just this box alone was very precious.

Linlang was naturally very angry about what happened yesterday, but she didn't expect Xiao Que to make amends for Fu Yunshu yesterday, but today she deliberately sent a gift of apology. A flash of surprise flashed in Linlang's eyes, and she opened the red sandalwood box, only to find that there was something inside. With three ice silk strings.

Even in Ledu, the ice silk strings are very hard to find. Even Xiao Que can find three ice silk strings in one night. After a little surprise, the brow became more and more gentle and said to Xiao Que: "My lord, you are welcome."

Xiao Que smiled very considerately, and said: "This Qin is a relic of the princess' mother, and the princess cherishes it very much. If ordinary people can't renew the strings, you can bring the piano to Xiao to repair it for the princess."

Lin Lang couldn't help but secretly rejoice when the cold man treated her so gently in the usual days. Her dark eyes were like spring water, and the flowers in the garden were blooming beautifully, but they couldn't compare to the person in front of her. With a smile in his eyes.

"The banquet is ready." Such a warm and charming picture scroll was interrupted by King Ning's sudden arrival, Lin Lang couldn't help but glanced at King Ning with some complaints, but King Ning smiled meaningfully at Lin Lang.

After a meal, it is naturally enjoyable. King Ning is a person who likes elegance. He talked with Xiao Que from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to antiques and jewelry, and did not mention the affairs of the court. In other words, Lin Lang on one side served the two of them courteously, did not talk about political affairs, only talked about Fengyue, and the atmosphere of the three was extremely harmonious.

It wasn't until the lights came on that Xiao Que bid farewell and left. Lin Lang smiled and sent Xiao Que outside the door. After seeing the man in white getting into the carriage, there was still reluctance in his eyes.

"This person is not something in the pool." When waiting for Xiao Que's carriage to go far away, King Ning said to Lin Lang calmly.

When facing King Ning, Lin Lang also put away the obsessive look in her little daughter's eyes, and said conceitedly: "That's natural, when will the person I like fall short?"

King Ning sneered, the atmosphere between the two of them lost the harmony they had in front of outsiders, and it felt a bit weird, "The purpose of letting you approach Xiao Que is to trick you with beauty, don't be fooled by Xiao Que instead." Quelly has forgotten the original purpose."

Lin Lang said impatiently: "Xiao Que is in Lin Lang's pocket, so naturally there is no need for the emperor to worry about it. It's just that Lin Lang talked too much to remind the emperor, don't lose your sense of proportion because of Fu Yunshu's face..."

Because of Lin Lang's words, King Ning's face immediately sank, his eyes were cold and piercing, as if Lin Lang had touched some taboo, and Lin Lang's eyes flashed with joy.

At this time, the carriage from Prince Wei's residence had already arrived, and Lin Lang got into the carriage without saying hello. The relationship between her and King Ning was not as harmonious as it seemed on the surface!
At the banquet, after Cheng Meng heard that Cheng Zhiyu had lost to Xie Yizhi, he raised his eyebrows and said, "You are too embarrassing for me, General Xie, let's do the competition again so that you can see the real Cheng family's sword skills."

Today, Xie Yizhi competed with Cheng Zhiyu once and won and has moved back the face he lost at the pier that day. Naturally, he didn't want to fight with Cheng Meng again, so he quickly shied away, but Cheng Meng was indomitable, and it was Cheng Lie who said lightly. : "Uncle, you promised the queen's cousin not to fight with General Xie."

No matter how fierce Cheng Meng was outside, he seemed to be very taboo towards his only daughter, and said with a broken face, "I thought Yu could beat Xie Yizhi, so I agreed to my daughter, who knew he was so useless?" use."

Only then did Fu Yunshu realize that Cheng Zhiyu didn't seem to be that kind of aggressive person, but he wanted to fight Xie Yizhi. It turned out that it was Cheng Meng's order, and he suddenly felt dumbfounded. The character of the legendary Marshal Cheng was unexpected. Interesting.

And at the banquet, Fu Yunshu also knew that Cheng Lie came from a side branch of the Cheng family. Both of his parents died when he was young, so he was fostered in the general's mansion. An extremely outstanding one, the Cheng family treated her as if she had already been born.

Cheng Lie has a bit of Queen Cheng's demeanor, Cheng Zhiyu can't stop Cheng Meng, but with Cheng Lie in Cheng Meng, he doesn't dare to say anything more to provoke Xie Yizhi, and eating a meal seems to be enjoyable on the surface.

When the lanterns first came on, Fu Yunshu got into the carriage and twisted his sleeves. This was Fu Yunshu's usual habit when he was thinking.

"But there is something that I don't understand." Xie Yizhi sat across from Fu Yunshu, seeing Fu Yunshu's eyebrows furrowed tightly, he spoke proactively.

Fu Yunshu nodded seriously, and asked Xie Yizhi: "The Cheng family took the initiative to invite us to the Cheng residence this time, but they never mentioned a single word about the affairs in the court. What is their purpose?"

Xie Yizhi didn't answer Fu Yunshu's question, he moved, changed into a comfortable posture, and said calmly: "Today, when Cheng Zhiyu and I competed, he didn't use all his strength."

Hearing Xie Yizhi's words, Fu Yunshu's eyes flashed doubts and said: "Didn't he deliberately provoke you according to Cheng Meng's intention? Cheng Meng's character is always competitive, why didn't Cheng Zhiyu try his best?"

"This is also what I don't understand." Xie Yizhi had a rare hint of doubt on his brows, and said, "According to Cheng Zhiyu's kung fu, at least he can beat me with more than [-] moves, but he didn't use all his strength to pass. A hundred tricks."

Is Cheng Zhiyu deliberately hiding his strength?Then why do you want to compete with Xie Yizhi? Is it because you don't want to expose your strength in front of Xie Yizhi or because you don't want some people to know your strength?
Could it be that the ultimate purpose of Cheng Meng and his son inviting them to the mansion is to test Xie Yizhi's kung fu.And the conversation at the banquet was nothing more than their singing together. It was just an excuse for Cheng Meng to ask Cheng Zhiyu to compete with Xie Yizhi on his behalf, to cover up his real purpose of testing Xie Yizhi.

Then, why did they want to test Xie Yizhi?Fu Yunshu couldn't figure it out, originally thought that the Cheng family could disturb the water in Liguo court this time, but he never thought that he was getting more and more confused.

Fu Yunshu was thinking about something, when the carriage suddenly hit a stone and paused for a while, if Xie Yi's hand hadn't supported Fu Yunshu in time, Fu Yunshu almost hit the opposite side due to inertia.

Xie Yizhi frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

The coachman went down to check, and said to Xie Yizhi with a mournful face: "General, the shaft of the carriage is broken.
