In the evening, it was the time when Jin Yiwei was off duty, and the curfew was approaching, and the streets were filled with people.

Suddenly, the neighing of horses was accompanied by the dust rising up all over the sky, and the imperial guards galloped past, causing the surrounding crowd to panic and disperse in a hurry.

Some Jianghu warriors sitting in the open-air tavern on the roadside drinking wine put down their wine bowls, looked at the groups of Jin Yiwei rushing past, and whispered among themselves.

"Jin Yiwei is still out in force at this time. Could it be that something big happened?"

"If you want to talk about big things, there is only one thing in this city tonight, and that is Lord Fu Sijiang's celebration banquet in Beizhen!"

"I heard that Jiang Baihu destroyed the Tornado Hall and the Black Armor Gang as soon as he took office, and also ransacked Hu Baihu's home. I heard that he confiscated 300,000 taels of silver. Isn't he afraid of retaliation when he did this?"

"Why not send so many royal guards? I heard that Lord Jiang's move even shocked many officials in the court. They all came to attend Lord Jiang's celebration banquet, thinking of taking this opportunity to curry favor with Lord Jiang. That's why there are so many

The Jin Yiwei arrived in advance to prevent unexpected events from happening."

......

The crowds outside are chattering, but the situation in Chunjiang Pavilion is completely different.

As a property of the royal family, Chunjiang Pavilion is also a semi-official reception institution and is never open to ordinary people.

No matter how rich the visitor is, he or she cannot enter without a certain status in the world of martial arts.

Only court officials, Jin Yiwei or famous martial artists in the martial arts world can enter the Chunjiang Pavilion for the banquet.

When Jiang Lan stepped into Chunjiang Pavilion, the faint smell of sandalwood hit her nostrils, and the golden decoration style showed the aristocratic atmosphere.

The decoration of Chunjiang Pavilion is similar to that of Qinghua Pavilion, but in terms of quality, it is countless times higher than it.

The private rooms are separated from each other by hollow jade stones and covered with silk curtains.

"My God, this is so arrogant!"

Zhu Ming, who was following Jiang Lan, couldn't help but let out a sigh, feeling a little ecstatic.

When had Zhu Ming, who was born as a commoner, ever been to a place like this?

Suddenly, Zhu Ming forgot his identity as a member of the Baihu Testing Committee, and was a little embarrassed.

Chu He, on the other hand, was much calmer. Although his eyes were shining, he didn't show it on his lips. He patted Zhu Ming on the shoulder and reminded: "Let's pay attention to what's going on around us."

"I lost my composure." Zhu Ming came back to his senses and put on a stern face.

As for Jiang Lan, she has no interest in these things and has no fluctuation in her heart.

As the property of the royal family, such decoration is considered qualified.

It would only surprise him if the decoration of Chunjiang Pavilion was like that of Qinghua Pavilion.

Not long after the three of them entered Chunjiang Pavilion, a maid recognized Jiang Lan and led him to where the officials were.

Seeing Jiang Lan coming, the civil and military officials who arrived came to welcome him with wine in hand and complimented him one after another.

Qianhu Chen Ming introduced Jiang Lan one by one: "This is the Prime Minister of Dali Temple, Qian Shaoming, who cooperates closely with our firm."

"Jiang Baihu is really a good trick. On behalf of Dali Temple, I, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple, would like to toast Jiang Baihu for our future cooperation!"

Qian Shaoming nodded with a smile and drank the wine in the glass.

Du Shi of the Inspectorate followed closely behind and said in a joking tone: "Our Inspectorate has also heard about Jiang Baihu's actions. If Jiang Baihu is dissatisfied with Jin Yiwei in the future, the door of our Inspectorate will be opened to Jiang Baihu at any time.

, Haha! Everything is done!"

...

After socializing for a long time, all the officials who came to compliment us were drunk.

While pushing cups and changing cups, most of the officials were supported and sent to the private rooms one by one.

Qianhu Chen Ming, on the other hand, left the office early due to the numerous official duties at the office.

As for Jiang Lan, his body has already reached its peak. No matter how much wine he drinks, he will not get drunk unless he wants to.

Therefore, although the civil and military officials were drunk, their minds were very clear and they were observing changes in the surrounding environment all the time.

When Jiang Lan walked towards his private room, the door of a private room next to him opened, and a warrior stood outside the door, inviting Jiang Lan to enter.

"Does he still have the nerve to come here?"

Scanning the eyes of insight, Jiang Lan raised a mocking smile and walked into the room.

Prince Chu sat among them.

Jiang Lan was a little surprised that he came here.

When he was in Qinghua House, Prince Chu didn't dare to let out a single fart under Zhang Qianhu's lustful power. He completely lost the royal family's face. Jiang Lan still looked down on such people from the bottom of her heart.

"Master Jiang, this is the King of Chu. I want to see Mr. Jiang."

Entering the door, another warrior holding a sword and guarding behind King Chu glanced coldly at Zhu Ming and Chu He behind Jiang Lan.

"This room is where the King of Chu is. Everyone else, please get out of here!"

Without Jiang Lan's order, Zhu Ming Chuhe didn't care what kind of bird he was, the King of Chu, let alone the person who spoke to him was a subordinate of the King of Chu.

The two of them looked as if nothing had happened, and they did not even look at the King of Chu's men who were speaking.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit stiff, King Chu smiled, pointed to the side and motioned Jiang Lan to sit down.

"Since these are Jiang Baihu's men, it doesn't matter if they stay here. Jiang Baihu can sit down here. The two of them can just stand at the door."

King Chu's move immediately made Jiang Lan understand that the other party was not a good person.

If the King of Chu treats him as an equal, he will at least let himself sit directly opposite the King of Chu, instead of on both sides.

A prince with no real power who is even afraid of thousands of households in Jinyiwei really thinks of himself as a person?

Since the King of Chu doesn’t give him face, don’t blame yourself for not giving him face.

Jiang Lan ignored King Chu and winked at Zhu Ming and Chu He.

When the two of them saw Jiang Lan's nonchalant look, they immediately understood. With confidence in their hearts, they sat down where King Chu indicated.

"I, Shanglai Jinyi, have little relationship with the royal family members. I don't know what the King of Chu wants to do with me."

Jiang Lan sat directly opposite the King of Chu, equal to the King of Chu.

The King of Chu suddenly looked unhappy, looked at Jiang Lan with his narrow eyes, and said in a threatening tone:

"Jiang Baihu, you are quite courageous. You ransacked Hu Baihu's home as soon as you took office."

"But do you know how much trouble your actions have brought to the court and how much trouble it has caused to this king!"

While King Chu was speaking, Jiang Lan lowered her head to eat her food, completely ignoring King Chu's words.

After a long time after King Chu finished speaking, Jiang Lan slowly raised her head, glanced sharply at King Chu and the few warriors behind him, and replied briefly: "I don't know, please give me some advice from King Chu."
p>

At this glance, King Chu didn't feel anything.

But the two warriors behind him were so frightened that their legs became weak!

In this glance, they seemed to see the emergence of power that could crush them thousands of times!

The two of them just felt that if Jiang Lan released this power, even if they tried their best to block it, they would be like a mantis trying to block it!

However.

After Jiang Lan gave this small warning, she didn't look at them again.

He just continued to eat his food with his head down, and waved to Zhu Mingchu and He who were sitting there.
