The guest of honor was seated. As expected, everyone from the Song envoy was already here. They were arranged by Wu Shu, with the Song people on the left and the Jin generals on the right. Zhang Bangchang, Cao Sheng, Wang Yun, etc. were seated in order of official rank. The others
The busboys and others sat down in the next few rows, including Du Jin, several of his brothers, and Shui Liuli.
Yan Zhao still stood beside Zhao Gou like an iron tower. Xu Zizhen naturally returned to the handyman team, sat down quietly, and watched Wu Shu playing tricks from a distance.
Wu Shu suddenly waved his hand and dismissed the guard beside him. Zhao Gou glanced at him and said to Yan Zhao: "Go and sit down too."
Yan Zhao was stunned for a moment, and without saying a word, he walked to sit next to Xu Zizhen. Since Wu Shu had already made such a gesture, Zhao Gou couldn't lag behind him. To put it bluntly, he was still in the Jin man's belly anyway.
, it doesn’t matter whether he is by Zhao Gou’s side or not.
Everyone has taken their seats, and there is a sharp contrast between the left and right sides. The Jin generals are laughing and joking indifferently, while the Song people are solemn and quiet. No one is an idiot. This kind of scene is always
Just look and you know something is going to happen.
Everyone should come, and the drinks began to be served. It was obvious that Wu Shu had put a lot of thought into today's banquet. In front of everyone in the Song Dynasty delegation, the wine was rice wine from Jiangnan, and the fresh fruits were from Shaanxi.
, the dishes are Bianjing style, and even the chopsticks are high-quality chopsticks from the Song Dynasty.
"His Royal Highness King Kang, I have spent a lot of money to find several famous chefs from the Song Dynasty. I don't know if today's dish is suitable for Your Highness's appetite. Please!" Wu Shu raised his glass with a smile, his face was as usual, and there was no difference.
As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person. Zhao Gou was wary, but he also put on a friendly face. Zong Wang was responsible for the peace talks, and he couldn't take his anger out on Wu Shu if he didn't show up.
Xu Zizhen secretly watched everything in front of him. He found that the Jin generals opposite who were still laughing had actually quieted down after the banquet started. Although the wine in their hands was not stopped, their eyes were looking at the Song delegation unkindly.
Zhao Gou obviously noticed this, and the palm of his hand holding the wine glass tightened unconsciously.
At this moment, Wu Shu suddenly put down his wine glass and sighed softly: "His Royal Highness, King Kang, I am here to invite you today, and I want to get drunk with you before we retire, but... there is something that I don't know whether to say or not.
.”
Here it comes! Zhao Gou felt trembling in his heart, but his face remained calm and he said calmly: "Fourth Prince, it's okay to say it."
Wu Shu shook his head and showed a helpless smile: "Although I, Da Jin, have a temporary dispute with Da Song, your Highness should know that this matter is not Wu Shu's personal wish. This king has expressed his concern from the first day I met His Highness.
I feel that I have a good rapport with His Highness, and if His Highness is willing, I would even like to marry him."
Zhao Gou didn't have any reaction when he listened to his random talk. He still listened quietly, but this behavior already showed his attitude.
Wu Shu didn't care, and his eyes gradually showed a sad look: "It's just that you, the common people of the Song Dynasty, don't understand this king. Now in this Zhending City, most of the people seem to hate me, Da Jin, and there are even worse ones hidden in
Secretly trying to assassinate me and my brother, this...well, it really chills me."
Zhao Gou raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Has the Fourth Prince encountered an assassin recently?"
Wu Shu nodded slowly: "Exactly, and it was just last night."
Bang bang bang!
Wu Shu patted his palms three times, and soon there was a sound of footsteps coming from the side. Zhao Gou's eyes turned around following the sound, and his face suddenly darkened.
There was a group of Jin soldiers walking towards the banquet, each holding a prisoner in ragged clothes and covered in blood. Judging from the clothes, hair accessories, etc. of these prisoners, they were all from the Song Dynasty.
There are nineteen people in total.
Xu Zizhen was moved when these prisoners were escorted out. He found that Zhao Gou's face turned ugly. Obviously he knew some of these prisoners, and it seemed that it was Zhao Gou's first time to come to Zhending. So what exactly were these prisoners?
Who is he? The answer is ready to come out - Tianxiahui!
Zhao Gou quickly adjusted his mood and looked at Wu Shu in a blink of an eye. The opponent had already made a move. At this time, it was better to wait and see what tricks he would play next.
But what happened next stunned Zhao Gou. Wu Shu actually waved his hand and gathered the nineteen people together. He turned and smiled at Zhao Gou: "I know that His Highness is very wary of me, Da Jin, but
I really want to make friends with His Highness, so these assassins... I leave them to Your Highness. I just hope that Your Highness will give you kind words and advise them not to do dangerous things again."
Zhao Gou suddenly became wary. Wu Shu was not such an easy person to talk to. He was handed back to him without any request after being assassinated. There was definitely something strange in this. Xu Zizhen was also surprised. Wu Shu
He knows better than anyone here what kind of person he is, but no matter what the current situation looks like, he really intends to return the person to Zhao Gou.
Shui Liuli arrived at some unknown time and lowered her voice in confusion: "What does the Fourth Prince want to do? To win over the Seventh Master?"
Xu Zizhen raised his index finger in front of his mouth: "Shh, watch him perform, it's not that simple."
As expected, the team of Jin soldiers brought nineteen Song people to the table of the Song envoys. Zhao Gou could no longer hold back and winked at Yan Zhao. Just as he was about to hand over the people, he heard the Jin soldiers on the opposite side of the camp.
There was a violent sound.
Bang!
A strong, bald, golden general picked up a wine jar and smashed it down, causing it to shatter into pieces and the aroma of the wine spread out.
"Fourth Prince, I am not convinced!" The bald golden general stared at the nineteen people with an angry look on his face.
Zhao Gou and Xu Zizhen had a thought in their minds at the same time: Sure enough, the show is about to begin!
Wu Shu seemed to be startled and shouted angrily: "Heituo, you are so presumptuous!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, several figures stood up from their seats and shouted in unison: "Fourth Prince, I am not convinced!"
This time, the seven golden generals stood up, and eight of them, including the bald Heituo, glared at each other fiercely. It seemed that as long as Yan and Zhao dared to pick him up, they would immediately rush forward and start killing.
Wu Shu's face turned completely gloomy: "What, are you going to rebel?"
Heituo suddenly jumped out of the case, walked quickly to Wu Shu, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "The general will not dare! It's just that in order to capture these Song assassins last night, the general killed many warriors. If the four
If the prince is returned to him as a prince of the Song Dynasty, wouldn't the brothers of the last general be heartbroken? Please take back your life, the fourth prince!"
The other seven golden generals also jumped out, knelt down and shouted loudly: "Please take back your life, the fourth prince!"
Wu Shu's face was as dark as water, Zhao Gou remained calm, and Xu Zizhen narrowed his eyes slightly. He had already noticed something not good, but this seemed to be the opportunity he was looking forward to.
