Chapter 1036: Not very comfortable

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the atmosphere at the dinner table has become more enthusiastic, perhaps because everyone here has drunk a lot of wine, in short, this has become more and more with the wine, but because of the previous events, the dialogue of the people present has become more pertinent, and they are all discussing things about today's navigation and business.

Although no one in the audience has ever been overseas, this does not prevent them from knowing what is going on over there, in fact, let alone Zhang Fan, even if it is someone else, they have heard people talk about the details of the voyage to Europe, and Zhang Fan has subordinates who are now running boats, so these people are quite clear about the things over there, if it weren't for the fact that Joanna is a woman, it is not good to sit on the table full of men here, I am afraid that it is most appropriate for her to introduce this matter. After all, no matter how many times she has been to Europe, she is not as familiar with it as a native of Europe.

However, even if Joanna was not asked to explain, the people at this table were still very happy, of course, in fact, this definition of being very happy was nothing more than a heated discussion, after the goods here were shipped to Europe, even if the goods purchased with a small amount of capital could bring great profits, that is, everyone was discussing the question of how much money they would make in the future.

It seems that this kind of question is really a little strange at the wine table where these people's identities gather, after all, this is a place where a prince and several senior officials of the DPRK and China gather, but it is really inappropriate to discuss these copper-smelling things here, but this also verifies the sentence, "Money is not omnipotent, but no money is impossible", whether it is a minister or a prince, or an emperor or the whole country, money is very important.

Besides, none of the people present showed any objection anyway, but showed a very serious interest in this issue, which has to be said that everyone has something to ask for, and what they are not asking for, it is really unpredictable.

And Zhang Fan is also among them, and Zhang Fan also occupies a very important position in this discussion, after all, since he has promised Zhu Xuanqi before, then in the future, he will be Zhu Xuanqi's partner in this, so, whether it is true or not, whether it will be done in the future or not, now Zhang Fan has to show a very interested look, of course, it is not so much that Zhang Fan is interested, but that he is interested in catering to Zhu Xuanqi, after all, now, no matter how you look at it, Zhu Xuanqi himself is on the rise, no matter how you say it, Zhang Fan can't refute his face.

But even so, in fact, most of Zhang Fan's energy was still on Wang Meng, who was sitting on his face, and on the way to observe, he had to be cautious, so that Zhu Xuanqi, who was sitting next to him, didn't see any problems, so Zhang Fancai was so careful, which made him feel that this work was really tiring.

In fact, Zhang Fan can wait until after the banquet to ask Wang Meng what he has discovered, but now Zhang Fan can't wait, so even in the conversation with Zhu Xuanqi, Zhang Fan will still take the time to look at Wang Meng to see if he has made any progress.

However, the results of the observation made Zhang Fan a little disappointed, he saw that so far, Wang Meng naturally knew, and also looked at Zhang Fan a few times, and without exception, almost every time, Wang Meng shook his head slightly at Zhang Fan, indicating that there was still no progress over there, and this, almost every time, made Zhang Fan feel unhappy.

Zhang Fan couldn't understand what kind of message Wang Meng wanted to convey to him, after all, this was the wine table, Zhang Fan couldn't ask Wang Meng if he had found anything, but just from Wang Meng's shaking of his head, Zhang Fan couldn't understand what he wanted to say, it meant that Joanna had revealed the signal in the way he had taught her before, but no one responded, or Wang Meng didn't find that anyone had made any strange moves. Or maybe Joanna hasn't found a suitable opportunity to do it until now.

Wang Meng kept shaking his head like this, Zhang Fan naturally hoped that the situation was the latter one, but now he didn't know all these things, and Zhang Fan had no way to ask, which made Zhang Fan not mention how anxious he was, but at this time, even if Zhang Fan was in a hurry, he could only think about it in his heart, and the more he was like this, the more he felt that this was simply a torment.

Not only that, on the surface, Zhang Fan still had to pretend that nothing had happened, and not only that, he also had to talk to Zhu Xuanqi with a smile, looking forward to a better future, which made Zhang Fan very uncomfortable, but he had to make this kind of move.

Zhang Fan is uncomfortable on his side, but Wang Meng's side is also uncomfortable, originally, although Zhang Fan's plan is actually all based on good luck, which sounds like a very ethereal thing, but even so, even Wang Meng feels that this matter has a very high chance of success, although Wang Meng is a martial artist, whether on the battlefield or after being a Jinyi guard, he has also killed countless people, and he understands the importance of preparation in advance. But he's also a big believer in the importance of luck.

It's just that it wasn't until Wang Meng followed Zhang Fan here and sat down that Wang Meng further discovered what kind of thing luck was.

According to what they originally knew, the people who did it at this table, except for Zhu Xuanqi, were a few people from the capital, of course, now they have to add Wang Meng, but these don't actually have to think about it, no matter how you look at it, these are the people who are qualified to sit here now, although Wang Meng is a special case, but since Zhu Xuanqi has spoken, there is nothing to say.

But in fact, the people here are a little different from what everyone thought before, not that there are any changes, there are still a few people, but when they finally took a seat, they found that there was one more.

That's right, there is one more person than I thought in advance, and who is more, it is the guard surnamed Zhao who went to Zhang Fan's residence today and informed them that Zhu Xuanqi was going to hold a banquet.

If you want to talk about this Zhao guard, when Zhang Fan first saw him, he just thought that he was just an errand to help the palace, after all, although that kind of thing is important, it is the same for whoever goes to pass the word, and besides, he still went to Liu Xian's camp alone, which makes this person even more irrelevant.

But then, Zhang Fan found that there was something different in it, it was when Wang Meng and Liu Wei were competing in the martial arts arena that Zhang Fan and this Zhao guard talked off the field, although the two of them didn't talk much, but Zhang Fan also got a lot of things from it.

Zhang Fan originally didn't think that this little guard could know much, and it was also because he didn't care about the other party, which made him feel that even if he asked the other party something, it was nothing, and it was naturally good to be able to inquire about something, but if he couldn't inquire, there was nothing to lose.

However, after Zhang Fan talked to him, Zhang Fan found out that there was a problem, this young Zhao guard was not an ordinary person, in fact, from his ability to dissolve Zhang Fan's questioning unconsciously, he was definitely not as simple as an ordinary guard.

Just from such a thing, Zhang Fan gave a definition of this Zhao guard, this person definitely has some ability, and similarly, how much weight does his identity as a guard have in the palace, this point Zhang Fan also has to reconsider, is it hidden deeply, or is he originally extremely trusted by the king of Shu.

After that, Zhang Fan also had a lot of understanding of this aspect, and since Zhang Fan lived in the Shu Palace, he could often see this Zhao guard, although he only saw such a side every day, but this also shows that this Zhao guard can enter and exit the inner courtyard of the palace, and it can be seen from this point alone that this surnamed Zhao is definitely deeply trusted by Zhu Xuanqi, otherwise how could he even enter and exit the inner courtyard of the palace at will.

However, just from the point of being able to freely enter and exit the inner courtyard of the palace, there are really not too many things, after all, this is the palace, and it needs to be protected, and the inner courtyard is no exception, even if there are more guards outside the palace, but if the thieves enter the inner courtyard, and there are no guards in the inner courtyard, it will be over, although no matter what, there must be guards in and out of the inner courtyard of this palace.

Perhaps, this surnamed Zhao is just one of these guards.

However, tonight's banquet gave Zhang Fan and others a deeper understanding, this surnamed Zhao is the only person sitting at this table except for Zhu Xuanqi, it is conceivable that he is not the only one who guards the inner courtyard of the palace, but now he is the only one who can sit here, and it is conceivable that his weight in the palace is also very heavy.

Moreover, he happened to sit next to Wang Meng, and the status of the two in this banquet was the lowest, even if Wang Meng's identity was much higher than him, but sitting together as two people, it was really nothing to say.

But in this way, Wang Meng is not very comfortable, originally with his skills, it is easy to observe who is on this occasion, but now he is also a martial arts practitioner next to him, although his skills are not as good as Wang Meng, but who can say this kind of thing accurately, in case he finds something......
