In the twenty-sixth section, Hu Lan let out a "huh" and muttered, "Why is this kid here?" "Obviously, I was very surprised by Xiahou Tian's arrival. Wu Ming was also slightly surprised, and asked, "What, Brother Hu knows Xiahou Tian?" ”

Hu Lan was slightly stunned, then returned to normal, and said with a smile: "Lord Wu, the kid has traveled south and north, and it is natural to see many junjie from all over the world. Xiahou Gongzi has a good reputation in the north, and I naturally know him. ”

His words were impeccable, and Wu Ming's mind turned a few times, but he didn't think much about it. I was about to ask something else. Hu Lan asked suddenly, "Lord Wu, aren't your north and south in a state of war?" Why did he come to the banquet? ”

This is not a big secret, Wu Ming thought about it, and said with a smile: "Naturally, there is a reason...... he slightly mentioned the matter of Xiahou Tian coming to exchange Li Zhong. This incident happened in the past few days, and both the north and the south avoided talking about it, so Hu Lan did not know about Li Zhong's capture.

After he heard Wu Ming, Hu Lan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said, "I see, Lord Wu is really heroic." ”

Hearing his praise, Wu Ming's face was also a little hot. "It's just a fluke." At this time, Li Zhong had already come out of a dark corner and greeted Xiahou Tian. After the two met, they pointed upstairs, probably talking about Wu Ming's location. I saw the two of them looking upstairs at the same time. Hu Lan took a few steps back without a trace, and said, "Lord Wu, the Prime Minister is about to arrive, you go down first." ”

Wu Ming said: "What, doesn't Brother Hu attend the banquet?" Prime Minister Zhu made a special trip to ask you to participate. Hu Lan frowned, sat on a table by the window, his face was a little dark, rubbed his forehead and said, "My body is suddenly a little unwell, just sit for a while, you go down first." ”

Wu Ming was a little inexplicable, and he couldn't understand that he was playing again. Wen Yan nodded and said, "Brother Hu, pay attention to your body, I'll wait for you below." ”

By the time Wu Ming and Xuanyuan Ling arrived downstairs, the commotion in the backyard had stopped, and Xiahou Tian and Li Zhong had already sat on a long table, and the two of them were sitting side by side, with several five big and three thick guards standing behind them, which was very eye-catching. Seeing Wu Ming go downstairs, these people looked over at the same time. Wu Ming's heart sank, if his eyes could kill, it was estimated that he had been torn into a thousand holes. Thinking so in his heart, his face remained silent, and under the leadership of the hostess, he found a long place in another corner and sat down.

As soon as he sat down, he found that Xuanyuan Ling next to him was in place, staring at each other with a pair of big eyes and the other party's angry eyes. Wu Ming suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, pulled her and said, "Sit down, the prime minister is about to arrive, what kind of system do you have like this." Xuanyuan Ling sat down stupidly.

Seeing her sitting next to him, Wu Ming shook his head, Xuanyuan Ling's mind was now full of revenge and the like. I really don't know how to say that she is good.

At this moment, the welcoming master of ceremonies outside said loudly again: "I wish the prime minister arrived." Everyone "hula" and they all stood up. shouted in unison: "Welcome Prime Minister." ”

Zhu Huai was dressed in casual clothes today, with a smile on his face, and walked in from the outside calmly. Behind him, Steward Hu followed with a few black-clothed guards. He was already a little fat, but at this time, he looked more like a small businessman with wealth. Walking into the field, Zhu Huai stood still on a long table in the middle, pressed his hands weakly, and said: "You don't have to be polite, please sit down and have fun today." ”

Wu Ming sat down with everyone, only to realize that Xuanyuan Ling, the little girl, had not gotten up at all, and was rubbing his own pair of heavenly feet at this time, muttering in his mouth: "What a big shelf, what a big pomp." Wu Ming smiled dumbly and didn't care about her.

At this time, Zhu Huai raised his glass on the seat and said: "Everyone here is the pillar of my Southern Han Dynasty, and I wish that I have been in Jiangnan for so many years and can gain a firm foothold, thanks to your support." Since the establishment of the new dynasty, there has long been a banquet to thank everyone, but the state affairs are busy, so that it has been delayed until now. ”

This was naturally just a polite remark, but everyone still raised their glasses at the same time and replied: "Prime Minister Xie." Zhu Huai swept around, seemed quite satisfied, and said with a smile: "Singing and dancing." ”

The group of female musicians from the Hundred Crane Tower came out again, walked to the middle of the courtyard and stood still, and then held the pipa in their arms, played a mournful tune, and danced with the music. After the prelude, several people lightly opened their lips at the same time and sang:

"The leaves are yellow and colorful, and the scholars are bitter and cold.

When the Qiao woman in the West Chamber heard it, she couldn't sneer at Aunt Wang.

Jun sad farewell to the old wounds, and did not see the branches sinking.

The seeds are re-knotted every year, and it depends on the next year, or the spring equinox. ”

This is a song of "Autumn Thoughts", which is the same as the "Sunny Love" that Wu Ming listened to in Kyoto before. The climate in Nanning is warm, and even the people are much milder, and the tunes made are much more mournful and soft than those of the northerners. In the wine shop song building, people order this song the most. But now that the northern army is pressing, this kind of tune is rarely heard. Zhu Huai is now ordered to play this song, probably also want to create a peaceful atmosphere.

Seeing a few female musicians dancing in the audience holding the pipa, Wu Ming didn't know what it was like. He poured the wine on the table and drank it down. Although the wine is not mangosteen fruit wine, if you wish Huai to set up a banquet, it will naturally not be sent there, but as soon as the wine enters the throat, it is like a fire, which is like drinking doves.

Listen to this familiar music and watch this graceful dance. Everyone gradually forgot the purpose of the trip and blended in. In the midst of the peace, everyone staggered, chatting and laughing with each other. Although it is not enough to let Lang Xing go, it is also happy. Wu Ming's heart was bitter, and after drinking two cups, it was difficult to swallow. Seeing that these people were already slightly drunk, he was also surprised, and he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Zhuhuai's gourd. If it's really just for 'a banquet to thank you', it must be nonsense. What's more, there is also the problem of grain prices in Nanning that needs to be solved urgently. Zhu Huai asked Tang Xuan to solve this matter, which was difficult, but once there was a solution, with Zhu Huai's sophistication, he would definitely help Tang Xuan, and it would be impossible to do something in vain about the overall situation.

Zhu Huai seemed to be slightly drunk, and suddenly smiled: "Please come today, in addition to finding a drunk, I also want to introduce a friend to you." You are all old people who have been in Nanning for many years, and you naturally know the reputation of Baihe Tower, but its owner has always been mysterious. Today, I am fortunate to have this proprietor to conspire with everyone to get drunk. Someone, please this young proprietor. ”

Wu Ming noticed that when Zhu Huai spoke. Steward Hu behind him had retreated to the door silently and said something to a few black-clothed men who were standing there on guard. A few people nodded, and then went upstairs with a "bang". I probably went to invite Hu Lan. The crowd suddenly "buzzed", exploded the pot, and everyone talked about it. Baihe Tower is known as the first floor of Nanning, if no one here knows, it is pure nonsense. It's just that this owner has always been mysterious, this building has stood in Nanning for so many years, and the past generations have only seen the shopkeeper, not the owner. I didn't expect Zhu Huai's magical powers to be great, and he actually invited all the owners.

Everyone craned their necks and waited for a long time, but no one came down upstairs. Just when everyone was a little impatient. Butler Hu and Hu Lan slowly appeared from upstairs. Hu Lan's expression was very strange now, he seemed a little annoyed, but he was a little crying and laughing. Although the Yang Jun behind him was still as straight as a gun, his face was pale. Several people walked to the main seat, Zhu Huai hurriedly got up, took Hu Lan's hand affectionately, and said, "Today's banquet is for the son." Come, come, come. Childe, sit next to me, and let's have a good talk. ”

He didn't introduce anything to everyone, and after speaking, he pulled Hu Lan to sit on the main seat. Wu Ming saw that he was vague, but a little inexplicable, it stands to reason that Zhu Huai and Hu Lan should be meeting for the first time, and he acted like an old friend, why is this? At this time, Hu Lan had been pulled by Zhu Huai to sit down, his face was now normal, and he smiled and said: "I heard that Prime Minister Zhu is capable and far-reaching, and when I see it today, it really deserves its reputation." As he spoke, he turned his head to the Yang Jun behind him and said, "The prime minister is so polite, but I dodge and dodge, but I seem stingy, don't pour the wine quickly, I will toast the prime minister first." ”

Yang Jun answered, grabbed the cup on the table with his left hand, and poured it with the wine jug in his right hand. Suddenly, the wine was poured from the jug to the glass. Wu Ming's heart froze, and Yang Jun's hands were trembling. I remember when he was in Kyoto, he performed such a hand at that time, and he also sighed to Tang Xuan that this person was a master of riding and archery, and his hands were as steady as a rock. But how can this be the case today? Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, yes, when Yang Jun went downstairs just now, his face was pale. It seems that he must have done something with someone.

The one who did it with him must be Steward Hu. In this way, Hu Lan definitely didn't want to come down to participate in this banquet. It's just that if that's the case, why do you have to agree to come down in the afternoon. When she went upstairs just now, Hu Lan's face was still as usual, and then she began to feel uncomfortable. Could it be the reason? It's just that looking at Hu Lan's appearance now, his body is not a big deal, so what is it for?

Wu Ming only felt that his head was too big, and he was still puzzled.

Just thinking about it, there was a sudden "bang", Li Zhong's hand flipped over, and a cup fell a few times, shattering his bones. Wu Ming happened to be diagonally opposite him, so he naturally saw it clearly.

At this time, Yang Jun poured the wine, Hu Lan took it, and was about to say two nice words. Everyone also watched intently. This sound immediately distracted everyone's attention, and they all looked at it in amazement. Wu Ming was also a little inexplicable, and he didn't know what kind of madness Li Zhong was doing. At this time, Xiahou Tian suddenly stood up, smiled "hehe", hugged his fists and made a circle around, and said, "I'm sorry, Li Gongzi drank a little too much, and he accidentally knocked over the wine glass, I'm really sorry." ”

Then the crowd pouted and turned their heads away from him. Now the Southern Han Dynasty and the Northern Han Dynasty are in the same situation, and the Northern Han Dynasty is even more overwhelmed by the army. These people will definitely not give Xia Houtian and Li Zhong a good look. If it weren't for Zhu Huai personally saying that Xiahou Tian was a VIP, it is estimated that someone would have stepped forward to find fault.

Seeing that everyone had turned their heads, Li Zhong was already furious, and said softly: "What is this guy Yan Da doing?" Before the ink of the agreement with us was dry, he ran south again. Does he want to repent? No, I'm going to question this guy right now. ”

Xiahou Tian was shocked, grabbed him and said softly, "Brother Li, are you crazy?" Although you know about the alliance with Beimeng, I know that everyone knows about it. But it will definitely not be on the table, Beimeng and our Eastern Han Dynasty are feuds, although the north and the south are now facing each other, but this prejudice has always existed. If this matter is poked out, the people of Lord Taiwei will be greatly disappointed, and I am afraid that we will not be able to get out of this hundred crane tower tonight, and we will definitely be torn to pieces by these people. ”

Li Zhong thought about it, and the gloom on his face decreased slightly, but he still said angrily: "Is that it?" ”

Xiahou Tian sighed and said, "This is also a helpless thing, wait until you leave Nanning, and then tell the Taiwei to see what he says." ”

Li Zhong snorted and didn't answer. But he didn't mess around anymore, just looked coldly at the middle of the field.
