Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 7 Banquet Battle
"Second brother, you misunderstood."Just when Zhao Yu was about to walk in, a carriage came to the door at some point, and it seemed that it had been parked there for a long time.

Zhao Yu stopped, turned around and saw Zhao Yu walking down from the carriage, showing a puzzled expression: "Misunderstanding?".

"Gu went out of the city yesterday and acted as a messenger for sister Yan'er. When I met my fourth brother and chatted, I invited him to have a banquet with brother Wei. It's just that there are too many things in the palace today, so I came a little late. That's why you misunderstood."Zhao Yu explained to Zhao Yu, and when he mentioned the words "Sister Yan'er", his tone became a little more serious.

Zhao Yu deliberately showed a surprised expression, looking at Zhao Yu who was getting closer and closer: "Sister Yan'er? I seem to remember that the father and king will return to Handan from the place of the alliance in two months. Now calculate, if Yan My son and sister can speed up their walking speed, and maybe they can meet the chariot frames of King Father and King Yan."

"I should be able to meet you, but I don't know if my father's body is okay now."Thinking of King Zhao, Zhao Yu expressed emotion towards these people.

Seeing that Zhao Yu had come to the front, the surrounding crowd saluted one after another: "I have seen the prince, the prince misses the king, if the king knows it, he will be very pleased."

"Little brother has seen brother...".Zhao Wuming also hurriedly saluted, thinking about what happened yesterday, he had a good impression of this elder brother.

Zhao Yu hurriedly supported Zhao Wuming, and glanced at the crowd at the same time: "Fourth brother, everyone, you don't need to be polite."

A guard quickly ran inside.The guests are all outside the door, as the host should not be ignorant of the outside world.

"Fourth brother, it turned out that the second brother misunderstood you, not the second brother. Why didn't you tell the second brother earlier that you were invited by the elder brother?".Seeing Zhao Yu supporting Zhao Wuming, Zhao Yu showed a little bit of emotion, and there was also a bit of complaint.

Just when Zhao Wuming was about to say something, he heard a hearty voice from inside the door: "No wonder when I got up today, I heard the cry of magpies. It turned out that three young masters came to the door at the same time...".

Hearing this voice, everyone who felt embarrassed at first breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly booed.

"Xue Qian, it's not us talking about you, the Fourth Young Master and the crown prince came to the banquet together, why didn't you tell me?"

"It's because of your reticence that we almost had a misunderstanding."

"Just because you didn't tell us about this, you should be fined three bottles of alcohol later."

"Everyone commented. Originally, we thought that only the second son would come. Who would have thought that he would invite the crown prince and the fourth son. We almost made a fool of ourselves. Everyone asked whether this person should be punished."

"However, it's because of your face, Xue Qian, that you invited three young masters at once, which makes us envious."

Although a man was wearing a brocade robe, he couldn't hide the killing spirit on the battlefield.Hearing the endless booing, Xue Qian smiled and bowed to the three of Zhao Yu: "Prince, Second Young Master, Fourth Young Master, Xue Qian would like to punish himself three times to apologize to you for being late."

"Gu is just here, how can you say that you are late? If you are punished for drinking, you can take it back."Zhao Yu looked at Xue Qian with gentle eyes.

Zhao Yu also quickly echoed: "I heard that when you entered the court, because you followed his father, Guowei Xueli, you led the army to retreat from Loufan in the north and relieve the danger of the new city. The prestige was greatly strengthened. envious".

"I'm ashamed, this prestige is all thanks to my father, it's not a real skill."Xue Qian quickly showed a humble look, and when he said the word father, his face was full of emotion.

Hearing the word Lou Fan, Zhao Wuming thought of the map he saw in Seoul, and subconsciously asked: "I heard that the northern part of Lou Fan is the Huns, I don't know if that's true."

"Huns?".Xue Qian was thinking about it in his mind, but he didn't have the slightest image about it, so he could only look at the group of people around him as if asking for help.

“Hun? What a strange name.”

"Is this a kingdom? How come we've never heard of it."

"Loufan is farther north, this... how many years would it take us to walk if we took a chariot."

"The journey is too long, and there is no news about it at all."

Hearing these people's discussion, Zhao Wuming was slightly taken aback.Silently calculated the distance in my heart, and then smiled coyly: "I saw it from the unofficial history, maybe it's some people's nonsense, and I don't know it."

"Since it's unconfirmed news, fourth brother, please don't say anything in the future."Zhao Yu's seemingly earnest words of comfort, but in fact there is something in his words.

Zhao Yu listened to Zhao Yu pretending to be a generous elder brother, and frowned slightly: "Ten years in a hurry, the fourth brother is no longer the young boy who used to be, and he has his own opinions in every word and deed. When the second brother is chatting, don't take it too seriously. ".

"Look, if it wasn't for my elder brother's reminder, I almost forgot. The last time I met my fourth brother, it has been ten years since now, and the children in the past have grown up. Fourth brother and second brother take back what they just said." .After Zhao Yu finished speaking, he saluted Zhao Wuming directly.

Although Zhao Wuming hated this person in his heart, he didn't dare to be rude, and hurriedly responded to Zhao Yu: "Second brother is the elder brother, Wuming is ashamed of accepting it."

"Worthy of being the son of a great king, my brothers and sisters are the envy of us."A group of people next to them quickly agreed, listening to the sharpness of the three people's words, feeling like sitting on pins and needles.Before they figured out what was going on with the Fourth Young Master, they didn't want to be villains.

Xue Qian turned his head to look at his own mansion behind him, and then sighed: "Everyone is outside the mansion and not inside the mansion, if this spreads, how will people in the world think of me, Xue Qian?"

"Thousands of mistakes are solitary mistakes. If you don't go in, everyone, I'm afraid Captain Xue will send troops to invite them later."Zhao Yu smiled at Xue Qian, and by the way made a joke to everyone.

Everyone was stunned, seeing Xue Qian sighing, and then a smile appeared on his face: "Captain Xue has dominated my Handan City with his bravery since he was a child. If he uses soldiers to invite him, I think it's better to forget it."

"There is a way to eat soft and not hard, we'd better go in obediently."

"As far as our soft body is concerned, how can we stand it. I think it's better to go first when the mighty Captain Xue hits you."

"Go too?".

"Nonsense, of course I'm going to this mansion."

"...".

Along with the sound of discussion, the crowd surrounded Zhao Yu and Zhao Yu and walked inside.Seeing that Zhao Wuming didn't know what to do, Zhao Yu grabbed Zhao Wuming and walked towards the lobby of the Captain's Mansion.

Pastries and fruits have already been placed in the lobby, and after seeing everyone take their seats one after another.Zhao Wuming raised his eyes and looked around, but found that there was no place for him at all, so he couldn't help but frowned.

"The fourth brother is not the second brother talking about you. As the fourth son of my great Zhao, the fourth son under the father's knee. Is it a bit rude to come to the banquet without notifying the host in advance?"Zhao Xuan's slightly complaining and admonishing voice floated over, and everyone present was silent for a moment.

A smile appeared on Zhao Yu's face, and the laughter followed.Picking up a bottle of wine, his tone seemed to be blaming himself: "It's Gu's fault. I had too many chores when I went back to the palace yesterday. I forgot to tell Captain Xue. I am willing to punish myself with a bottle of wine. Please forgive me. If you don’t mind fourth brother, don’t bother Captain Xue, just sit by Gu’s side.”

"The crown prince is not to blame for this matter. Qian should be to blame. It is Qian's negligence. I knew that the fourth son would come, but I didn't prepare a seat. I should punish myself. Why don't the fourth son ask the servants to add an extra seat next to the prince Not sure if this is possible".Xue Qian spoke up quickly, but Zhao Wuming's sudden arrival caught him off guard.How to add seats made him feel embarrassed again.

Zhao Yu shook his head and looked at Zhao Yu, who was in the main seat, and turned his eyes to Zhao Wuming and Xue Qian: "No, no, I think it's right next to my son, adding a seat for the fourth brother."

"It's better to add a seat for me under the eldest brother."Zhao Wuming felt uncomfortable looking at Zhao Yu, how awkward it would be to let himself be with him.

Xue Qian nodded, and ordered outside the door: "Come here and give the fourth son an extra seat under the crown prince."

The servant outside the door quickly agreed, carrying a case table and a roll of mats.

After the seats were added, Zhao Wuming took Qing Que and Sun Buer over to sit down.A maid brought fruit, wine, and pastries and put them on the table one by one.

"I heard that the third younger brother has returned from the north. I don't know why I didn't see him? Could it be that Captain Xue didn't invite him?"Zhao Yu seemed to be sighing for a while, but the words were full of charm.

Those sitting here are all the sons of the rich and powerful, who have inherited their official positions for generations. Looking at the scene in front of them, they naturally heard a special meaning.The prince and the fourth son, the second son and the third son.It seems that there is another dispute in the court.

Hearing the mention of the third brother Zhao Fan, Zhao Yu seemed a little surprised: "Hearing what the second brother said, Gu misses the third brother a little bit."

"The elder brother didn't know something, but the younger brother learned that the third brother had gained a great reputation in Dai County. Even the King Yan of the neighboring country praised him, claiming that the third brother was a real general."When Zhao Yu talked about Zhao Fan, a gleam of brilliance appeared on his face.

Zhao Yu heard Zhao Yu's compliments to Zhao Fan, and the smile on his face became stronger, and then he looked at Xue Qian: "Captain Xue, don't tell Gu that you didn't invite my third brother."

"The third son was called a real general by King Yan, how dare Qian not invite him. It's just that the third son thought the banquet was too complicated, so he went hunting outside the city first."Xue Qian quickly explained, if Zhao Fan wasn't so willful, how could he be called a real general.

Safari?Zhao Wuming was shocked, it seemed that the main event was coming soon.Zhao Yu pondered, and then showed a surprised look at Xue Qian: "How does Gu feel, Captain Xue seems to have the intention of competing with my third brother."

"Wonderful, wonderful, a captain, a real general. If they don't fight for a fight, won't the safari later be too boring?"

"My great Zhao has always been a martial artist, if I can see the glory of the third son, that is also a thing worthy of praise."

"Hearing what you say, I wish I could go hunting outside the city right now."

"Hunting? You still want to compete with the third son and the captain? I think you should go to sleep. It's not shameful to lose to them."

"...".

When the last sentence of discussion dissipated, Xue Qian smiled at all the guests: "Everyone can't wait, how can Qian bear it. It's just that you are having a banquet in my residence after all, and I ask you to be patient after listening to the singing and dancing and drinking It is not too late to feast on a safari."

"Today is going to a banquet. If you don't finish drinking and going hunting, it's not justified. As for my third brother, don't pay attention to him."Zhao Yu quickly agreed, and all the guests felt reasonable and nodded.

Seeing that they were doing the same thing, Xue Qian clapped his hands lightly.Dancers filed in, and after a while Miaoman's voiceless voice filled the air.Everyone listened to the music and danced, drank and ate, and the atmosphere gradually became noisy.
