Gao Yuan's identity is of course different from that of ordinary soldiers, so he was assigned to live in the guest house of Li Mu's inner house, a person can live alone in a courtyard, there is a main hall, with eight houses of different sizes, at the back of the main hall, there is a small kitchen, you can cook by yourself, and there is also a small courtyard, such a guest room, only for entertaining distinguished guests. At the same time, Ning Qi also transferred four male servants and four female servants to serve the daily life of the plateau.

There are not many maids in Li Mu's mansion, and most of them are widows of fallen soldiers, and only those who serve Li Yinghong are a few young women.

However, although the furniture in the house is very complete, there are still some necessary daily necessities, some things can be collected from Li Mu's house, but some need to be purchased by Gao Yuan himself.

As soon as he settled down, the plateau had not yet sat down, and he saw Li Yinghong rushing over in a hurry, and said, "Plateau, the king has recruited my father to enter the palace with you, and I will change my clothes quickly." ”

Gao Yuan found out that Li Yinghong had changed his outfit, no longer the tight-fitting samurai uniform before, but a floor-length silk skirt, with a ring and a high hair, although because he was still young and his body was insufficient, but it looked like a moving style, which also made Gao Yuan stunned for a while.

Seeing Gao Yuan staring at him intently, Li Yinghong's face was slightly red, but he was also quite happy in his heart, turned around in place, and said with a smile: "I changed into this long clothes, don't you look good." ”

Gao Yuan nodded and said, "It's very beautiful." ”

Li Yinghong said again: "So I look good in a long dress?" It's still good to pretend to be a samurai. ”

Gao Yuan said: "It's all good-looking." ”

Li Yinghongjiao smiled: "You lie to people, do your best to say good things." ”

Gao Yuan also smiled: "No, these two kinds of clothing have their own characteristics, in the past, when you wore a samurai suit, you were heroic and energetic, and the long skirt was noble and gorgeous, elegant in temperament, and each had its own beauty, it is indeed difficult to say which one is better-looking." ”

When Li Yinghong heard this, he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and said, "Even if you can speak, let's change your clothes and go." ”

When Gao Yuan heard this, he immediately changed his clothes, inserted his saber again, and then came to see Li Mu with Li Yinghong. However, the thought of seeing King Zhao made Gao Yuan a little nervous in his heart.

At this time, Li Mu had also changed into a Wenchen costume with a wide robe and big sleeves. After Zhao Wuling King implemented the Hu Fu Cavalry Shooting, the clothing obviously has the style of the Hu people, with narrow sleeves and tight fits, crisp and neat, convenient and flexible, but this kind of clothing is mainly popular among the people, and in the elite class, or celebrities and sages, it is in the formal occasion, the general ministers are still in the style of Eguan Bo belt, wide robe and large sleeves.

After seeing Gao Yuan and Li Yinghong, Li Mu also nodded and said with a smile: "Gao Yuan, this time I am entering the palace for a banquet, not to meet the king, so there is no need to be restrained, just follow me and act according to my orders, let's go." ”

Gao Yuan nodded, and then followed Li Mu's father and daughter out of the mansion together, at this time Zhao Xuan, Ning Qi and a few guests were already waiting at the gate of the mansion, and the carriage and horses and other honor guards were also ready, at that time, Li Mu's father and daughter got into the car, Gao Yuan and Zhao Xuan got on the horse, and drove to the palace of Zhao together.

Zhao's palace is located in the center of Handan City, like all imperial and royal cities in ancient China, surrounded by tall walls and wide moats, like a city within a city.

Everyone stopped and dismounted at the gate of the royal city, at this time there were a lot of vehicles parked in front of the gate of the royal city, and many vehicles came one after another, among which a few people came on horseback, the ministers stopped and dismounted here, walked into the city, and many officials saw Li Mu, all came to greet him, and Li Mu also returned the salute one by one.

At this moment, I only heard a ** voice: "General, Miss, you are here." ”

Everyone looked for a voice, only to see a big man, striding towards them, although he was also dressed in civilian clothes, but still looked a mighty momentum. Li Mu smiled and said, "Sima Shang, when did you go back to Handan?" ”

It turned out that this person was Sima Shang, Li Mu's deputy general when he resisted the Xiongnu in the north, he was originally an ordinary soldier, he was pulled up by Li Mu, and the way of using soldiers was also taught by Li Mu, and now he has been able to take charge alone, this time to resist the Qin army, that is, he led the army to garrison the north bank of Zhangshui, to resist the southern army of the Qin army.

Sima Shang said with a smile: "I have already returned to Handan, and I have been waiting for the general to come back." Then Zhao Xuan said hello, and the two of them had known each other for a long time.

At this time, Li Yinghong also came over to bow and said, "Uncle Sima." ”

Sima Shang also laughed and said: "I haven't seen you for a year, Yinghong is beautiful again, when will I find someone, I am still waiting to drink your wedding wine?" ”

Li Yinghong's face was slightly red, and he said, "General Sima, what nonsense are you talking about?" ”

Li Mu introduced the plateau to Sima Shang again, Sima Shang looked the plateau up and down, and said, "Are you the one who descended into the world?" ”

Gao Yuan also smiled bitterly and said, "It was just an accident, in fact, I am just an ordinary person." ”

Everyone was talking, but they heard someone say: "Ah, it turns out that the king has returned, and the prime minister did not come to the city gate to greet the king, forgive the sin, forgive the sin." ”

Everyone turned their heads to look, and saw a high-crowned official in a brocade suit, aged more than fifty, of medium stature, white face and thin beard, arrogant complexion, and his eyes flashed, showing a greedy and cunning light, which made it difficult for people to have a good impression of him.

Li Mu took a step forward and arched his hand: "What kind of virtue does Li Mu have, how dare he have Lao Guo Xiangguo's big frame to greet him." ”

Guo Kai smiled and said: "This time, the king set up a banquet in the palace to entertain the ministers, but he made a special trip to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the king, and all of us were stained with the king's light." ”

Li Mu said lightly: "Xiangguo has always been with the king in the court, and the court banquets he has participated in are still few?" A small banquet is just a common thing for Xiang Guo, how can those of us who have been fighting abroad for many years be compared with Xiang Guo? ”

Of course, Guo Kai could hear Li Mu's sneering, so he snorted, his eyes fell on Gao Yuan's body again, and said, "Isn't this Mr. Xinggao who descended with the meteor?" ”

Gao Yuan said: "Xiangguo said that he is actually just an ordinary person in Xia. ”

Guo Kai's eyes were fascinated and said, "Ordinary people? Mr. Gao is too humble, I heard that this time the Qin army was broken, Mr. Gao took the first credit, and he tried his best to kill the general of the Qin army, Huan Qi, and later at the banquet, he also wanted to see Mr. Gao's ability. As he spoke, he arched his hand to Li Mu and said, "Your Majesty, the prime minister has gone in first." Then he led his men through the gates and into the palace. Among Guo Kai's followers, several people deliberately looked at the plateau, and their eyes were also full of unkind intentions.

After the group entered the royal city, Sima Shang took a sip and said, "This big traitor must not die well." ”

Li Mu said: "Forget it, let's say a few words." Then he turned to the plateau and said, "Wait a little at the banquet, I'm afraid that Guo Kaihui will send someone to challenge you, asking for a competition in the palace, and take the opportunity to weaken your limelight, you have to be careful and don't be provoked by him." ”

Zhao was still martial, and among the ministers of the ministers, there were many samurai with outstanding swordsmanship, and it was common for the ministers to send their own samurai to compete at the banquet, and sometimes the ministers would bet on each other. Because the plateau has not been officially given an official position now, it is actually equivalent to Li Mu's disciple, so it is difficult for Li Mu to prevent someone from challenging the plateau.

Gao Yuan said: "The soldiers are coming, the water is coming to cover the earth, what is there to be afraid of." ”

Li Mu smiled slightly and said: "I know that you are brave, but there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky, and the competition between the two is different from the battlefield confrontation, even if it is a competition, it will not do you much good. ”

Gao Yuan said: "Thank you for the reminder, I will definitely act according to the plan, and I will never act recklessly." ”

Li Mu nodded and said, "Okay, let's go in." With that, he took the lead and walked into the royal city. The others followed him and walked into the royal city together.

Although it is the first time to enter the ancient Chinese palace, but the plateau has also visited the Forbidden City before, the scale of the palace of Zhao State, of course, is not as good as the Forbidden City in Beijing, but it is also tall and solemn, the momentum is majestic, but the decoration is very simple, there is no color painting on the wall, the column is not carved with clouds and water pan dragon, the doors and windows screen cases are carved with wood, and there is not too much inlaid with gold, silver and jade. The ground is paved with bluestone, which is polished very smooth and bright.

The banquet was held in the main hall of the palace, and in the center was of course the seat of King Zhao, and there were three tables on each side of the throne. Below the king's acne, it is divided into two columns, each with fifty seats each, and is divided into three rows, the front row is the wife of the royal nobles and ministers, and the back row is the other family members of the ministers and the guests of higher status. Or small and medium-sized officials. Although the closer to the throne, the higher the status, but not all according to the official position, sometimes recognized sages, or envoys of other countries, important guest secretaries, will also sit in high positions.

When Li Mu came in, most of the seats were already full of people, and they all exchanged heads and whispered to each other. At this time, he had already come over and led Li Mu and his party to the first seat on the right, because this banquet was originally held to celebrate the defeat of Qin Guoqing, Li Mu was of course the protagonist of the game, so he was arranged to sit in the first seat on the right, Li Yinghong of course accompanied Li Mu and sat in the front row, while Gao Yuan and Zhao Xuan, Ning Qi, Du Yi and others sat in the second row. Sima Shang's seat is also next to Li Mu, and is located in the second seat on the right.

And the first seat on the left is Guo Kai, and behind him, is the group of people I saw outside just now, all of them are not good-looking, looking at the plateau. And the second seat on the left is Zhao Cong, the great Sima of Zhao State, Zhao Bin, who met on the road, sat in the second row of Zhao Cong's seat, and Zhao Bin sat with Zhao Bin, a young man about thirty years old, similar to Zhao Bin, should be Zhao Onion's eldest son, one of Lin Wenqing's three suitors Zhao Yang.
