The arrival of Pang Degong finally filled the final brick of this grand banquet.
As soon as they arrived in front of the pavilion, before entering the door, nearly a hundred scholars at the banquet stood up to express their welcome and respect to Duke Pang De.
"Junior has met Mr. Pang!"
"Student has seen Pang Gong!"
Everyone was smiling, and this alone made Yi Xiaotian quite satisfied.
Under the guidance of Yang Ci and Wei Xi, the three of them sat down. Because Ma Dai was also dressed as a young master, although Ma Dai's name was not on the list, Wei Xi couldn't name him directly.
But Yi Xiaotian's thoughts have not been in this room since just now.
In almost the same situation as Wei Xi, during his stay in Xudu, Yi Xiaotian made sufficient preparations in order to perfectly complete the act of revenge, including writing down every word in the ceremony to sacrifice to heaven.
The official's name.
So when he later scanned the ranks of officials and discovered that the position of a Taishitai official in a certain ancestral temple had been replaced by a strange young man, Yi Xiaotian had murderous intentions at that time.
But after thinking about it, I finally gave up on this decision that might have caused confusion in advance.
What Wei Xi didn't know was that he was actually the one whose life had been spared by Yi Xiaotian.
However, when Chang An met for the first time later, the two of them were dressed very differently, so no one recognized the other for a while.
Now, because of the banquet, the two of them are dressed in extremely formal clothes——
Yi Xiaotian was wearing a long robe, a thin veil, and a meticulous bun on his head. It was the same as how he dressed at the ceremony to worship the heaven. Needless to say, how glamorous Wei Xi was dressed now.
With just one glance, Yi Xiaotian recognized Wei Xi.
Well...after seeing the vague dodge in Wei Xi's eyes, Yi Xiaotian's chance of winning increased by 10%.
——
Everyone fell down at the table one after another, and finally, Wei Xi, who was sitting at the head of the table, stood up to pay his opening remarks.
He picked up the bronze wine cup, wiped away his cowardice, maintained his demeanor as the head of the Wei family, and said loudly:
"Everyone! I believe you all already know the purpose of today's banquet!"
"That's right! Wei Xi is not talented! I'm lucky enough to get to know Mr. Pang in Xiangyang! After several interactions, I am in love with Mr. Pang. I hereby invite Mr. Pang to come to Chang'an City to fulfill his wish!"
"Here I would also like to mention Mr. Pang's close friend, our owner Yi, the famous Youjian Villa in Chang'an City!"
"Mr. Pang is willing to meet all the Chang'an scholars, thanks to Master Yi's efforts to retain him..."
"And I! Wei Xi, as the representative of the Chang'an scholars, am willing to use this banquet to cleanse Mr. Pang from the dust!"
"Today! No grudges, no disputes! With this glass of wine, I wish Mr. Pang and his team in Chang'an a prosperous future and all the best!"
"I'll come first! Here's a drink! Here's to Mr. Pang!"
It can only be said that Wei Xi is worthy of being the head of a wealthy family such as the Wei Mansion, and he has a rather majestic feel when doing things.
He raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, which was a good start.
It is also to embolden myself for the next time - yes, no one else can see it.
Mr. Pang De was sitting on his right side, but the one sitting across from Mr. Pang De was Yi Xiaotian.
Even if Wei Xi looked at Pang Degong, he did not dare to look at Yi Xiaotian. He was afraid that the more he looked, the more Yi Xiaotian would think about Tai Zhu Ling that day... Such a method of self-deception was really Wei Xi's helpless choice.
After Wei Xi showed the wine cup to everyone, everyone stood up one after another. Pang Degong also stood up politely and accepted the toasts from everyone.
After some fun, the atmosphere became lively.
At the right time, the musicians and dancers from the Western Regions selected by Wei Xi came to the court one after another. Amidst the melodious music, everyone seemed quite happy.
People were drinking and drinking, and there were also people who came one by one to pay their respects to Mr. Pang De. They looked familiar. It seemed that this banquet would come to an end smoothly?
But just when Wei Xi was giggling, thinking that everything was over and the nightmare was about to end, Yi Xiaotian came to Wei Xi's side without knowing it.
Seeing the shadow in front of him getting heavier, Wei Xi stiffly raised his head and saw Yi Xiaotian's smiling face. The wine that had just been filled in the cup was actually thrown out by his trembling hand.
"Oh? Does Mr. Wei mean that he will get drunk after one drink? Or does he mean that Mr. Wei is unwilling to take another drink?"
I still had to say what I needed to say in the scene, but after Wei Xi refilled his drink, his expression turned a little ugly.
He stood up and smiled awkwardly:
"Mr. Yi was joking. I was just thinking about something and accidentally spilled my drink... Come! For the reunion of Mr. Yi and Mr. Pang..."
As Wei Xi said this, his eyes still didn't meet Yi Xiaotian's. Before he finished speaking, Yi Xiaotian suddenly came closer to him for some reason and interrupted him directly.
"Mr. Wei... It's not convenient to talk now. After the banquet, you and I will find a secluded place. It seems that I must clarify some things with Mr. Wei."
With a thud, Wei Xi's heart almost broke.
Unknowingly, Wei Xi raised his head and glanced at Yi Xiaotian's face. As a result, with this glance, he seemed to have suddenly found the feeling of terror that he felt when he saw Tai Zhu Ling beating the Emperor so violently.
But this time, the drink in his hand spilled again and fell on the bodies of the two of them, but it did not cause Yi Xiaotian to hesitate at all.
"What...what...what happened...Mr. Yi...we...we have something to say..."
"Haha...it's not a big deal..."
Yi Xiaotian smiled again, without saying anything more, and turned around to go back to his seat. Before leaving, he lightly added:
"Mr. Wei, you are sweating."
Wei Xi was so shocked that he wiped away the dense beads of sweat on his forehead.
When he sat down again, Wei Xi waved one of his hands wildly in front of his chest - and this action was also seen by the group of killers and axemen who were ambushing in the mansion.
——
"What's going on! Why don't you take action, husband? I'm going to have a look... I have to go and have a look! Teacher, don't stop me!"
Lin Lan was so anxious about waiting that her toes almost dug a hole under the tree behind the courtyard.
As a result, after waiting for so long, there was still no order from her husband coming from the court.
Obviously...obviously according to the plan, at this time, the assassin they hired with a lot of money was about to take action——
So Lin Lan rushed to the court without saying anything. No matter what, she planned to let Wei Xi know that they were ready.
But just at this moment, Yang Ci ran over from the back door in a panic and stopped Lin Lan.
"No! No, disciple!"
"My father-in-law has just sent a message, saying that no one is allowed to act rashly. There must be something wrong with some aspects! Disciple, please don't be impulsive!"
But after all, Lin Lan's arousal came up so fiercely that he punched Yang Ci without any recognition, and trotted all the way, preparing to rush towards the main pavilion.
As a result...at this moment...
Something unprecedented happened to everyone, including everyone at the table.
A concierge came to the venue in a hurry and shouted to Wei Xi anxiously:
"No... it's not good! Young Master! Outside the door... there is a group of tall and powerful men coming outside! No matter what, they are trying to break into our Wei Mansion... now... now they are about to break in!"
"What!?"
Wei Xi slammed the wine cup on the table and stood up immediately, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.
The only insider at the table, Yi Xiaotian, was holding a glass of wine and smiling, just waiting to watch the show.
