Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 32
Slowly, the people attending the banquet in the hall began to become a little noisy.

In fact, it was no wonder that they would be noisy. When the banquet was about to start, everyone had quieted down and waited, but now the time for the banquet to start had passed.

At the beginning, I didn't think there was anything wrong, I just thought that something was delayed. After waiting for a while, everyone felt that there was a problem. You must know that Emperor Ling may shirk it when he goes to court, but once a banquet is set, Emperor Ling always Yes, it will be very punctual, even if there is a delay sometimes, it will not not appear for so long.

Even Liu Qi looked a little absent-minded.

He looked at the entrance of the main hall. The reason why he participated in such a boring banquet was because he had received an invitation from the palace and could not refuse. Moreover, he also wanted to know the status of Emperor Ling so that he could make plans for the future.

However, the current situation does not seem to be very good.

"Ah!" Liu Qi sighed, picked up the wine that Cai Yan had poured for him, and drank it all in one gulp, not knowing what he was sighing for.

"I don't know why Mr. Liu sighed?" A voice suddenly came from behind.

Hearing this, Liu Qi knew that it was Xun Yu who was sitting behind him, and he didn't expect that Xun Yu's ears were so sharp that he could hear such a small sigh.

Then he turned around and said, "Wen Ruo can't guess?"

"Master Liu means...!" Xun Yu pointed with his fingers in understanding.

As expected of a smart person, the master who is called "Ovary" by Cao Cao can understand it in an instant. Liu Qi nodded and said: "Hehe, don't say it clearly, don't say it clearly, I respect Wen Ruo a cup!"

Turning around, he picked up the wine glass that Cai Yan had refilled for him, motioned to Xun Yu, and drank it down in one gulp.

"Young Master Liu, you are being polite!"

Xun Yu didn't continue talking. Some remarks can only be understood, but can't be expressed in words. If you say it, you will have trouble. Not to mention that in such an occasion, they are all smart people. Just stop and raise your glass , gestured to Liu Qi, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Liu Qi smiled, then turned around and stopped talking. He also wanted to know what happened. After all, it was impossible to let them go for no reason.

Although the people in the hall were disturbed and noisy, no one left their seats. They were all on the seats, complaining to the people around them, or guessing what happened.

Liu Qi put his right hand on the desk, and unconsciously knocked on the desk with his index finger a few times, as if thinking of something, he stopped immediately, a gleam flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

However, although it was possible to hide it from other people, it could not hide it from Cai Yan who was sitting next to him.

Cai Yan was holding the jug, and just filled Liu Qi's wine glass with wine, when he raised his head, he saw the light in Liu Qi's eyes, and he was still a little happy. In the past, whispered: "Qi!"

Liu Qi also recovered. He knew that Cai Yan was reminding him that this was not Cai's mansion, nor was he a temporary place to live, so he calmed down a bit, his eyes regained his calm, turned his head to look at Cai Yan with a gentle smile, and stretched out his hand to take it. Glass, said softly: "Thank you!"

Cai Yan also had a smile on his face, and when he was about to speak, the noisy crowd in the hall fell silent, and Liu Qi also kept holding his wine glass, looking at the entrance of the hall.

I saw three eunuchs walking in at the gate of the main hall, one in front and two behind.

After stepping into the palace gate, before reaching the first seat, he stopped, and a duck-like voice rang out, "Your Majesty has ordered that this banquet be cancelled, everyone can go back!"

After the eunuch in front finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave with the other two eunuchs.

"Stop!" A loud shout sounded, startling everyone.

The three eunuchs were also frightened, and also did not dare to walk outside the hall, so they stopped and turned around.

Everyone also looked in the direction of the shouting.

I saw that Lu Zhi, who was sitting nearby with Cai Yong, Ma Rizun and others, had already stood up and walked straight towards the three eunuchs. It was obvious that the loud shout just now came from their mouths.

"Lord Lu, I don't know why you called me to stop you?" the eunuch said respectfully.

You must know that he is not Zhang Rang and others, but just a little eunuch who came to interrogate him. He dare not offend Lu Zhi, otherwise he would not know how he died.

Regardless of how powerful the eunuch is, the real power is in the hands of the ten permanent servants. When he encounters a weak one, he can still pretend to be a tiger, but when he encounters a strong one, he has nothing to do.

"What happened, otherwise His Majesty would not have canceled the banquet directly!" Lu Zhi came to the front of the three eunuchs and questioned.

"Return to Mr. Lu, Your Majesty caught wind and cold by chance last night. He woke up early this morning and his dragon body was not healthy. The imperial physician has been announced, so I asked the younger one to come over and cancel the banquet, and make arrangements in the next day!" The leading eunuch did not hide anything, and told the story. He came out, and he also knew that even if he didn't say it, everyone would know in the end, so why hide it, let alone offend Lu Zhi.

This statement came out.

Liu Qi, who was still watching the play, trembled all over, the hand holding the wine glass trembled, poured some seventy-full wine out of the wine glass, and dripped on the hand holding the wine glass, without even noticing it. Let the spilled wine drip down the table with his hands; the light in his eyes flashed, revealing a look of excitement, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised; as if there was something joyous about it.

Suddenly, Liu Qi felt his trembling left hand being held under the table, and there was warmth coming from it, and he could also feel that it was a pair of soft and boneless little hands.

Turning his head to look, it was Cai Yan who realized that his situation was wrong, stretched out both hands to hold his left hand, reacted, quickly raised the wine glass held in his right hand, drank it down, suppressed the shock, and at the same time calmed down the excitement in his heart Feeling calm, he nodded to Cai Yan, expressing that he had recovered.

Looking around, fortunately, everyone's eyes were on Lu Zhi and the three eunuchs at this time, and no one noticed the sudden emotion he showed after hearing the eunuch's explanation, except of course Cai who had been paying attention to him. Yan, and Cai Yan is still sitting next to him, it is normal to be able to feel different emotions in him in an instant.

"Accidentally caught wind and cold?" Lu Zhi looked at the leading eunuch calmly, obviously not believing what the eunuch said.

"Uh..., I don't dare to deceive Mr. Lu, the villain is telling the truth!" The leading eunuch said quickly.

If it weren't for the twinkling eyes and the slightly sweaty forehead, it would really be convincing.

"Hmph, take me to see His Majesty!" Lu Zhi scolded.

"Yes, yes!" The leading eunuch did not dare to have any opinions, and made a gesture of invitation, letting Lu Zhi go ahead, and he followed.

At this time, the officials in the hall also reacted, stood up one after another, and walked out.
