Chapter 107 Night Banquet

Yuan Fang who accompanied him knew that the situation was better.

Fang Zhe, who came with him, couldn't take it any longer, and looked at Niu Youdao in surprise, what's going on? Kill Song Long?

He really wanted to pull Niu Youdao out and ask him clearly, are you here to work for the prince, to kill a country's envoy? Is this helping the lord or causing trouble for the lord?

The people behind Zhuge Xun looked at each other.

Zhuge Xun swallowed his saliva, quickly took a sip of tea, suppressed his shock, and covered up his gaffe.

Putting down the teacup, he smiled and said, "Brother Niu, are you kidding me?"

Niu Youdao: "I'm not kidding, I'm serious."

Zhuge Xun shook his head and said, "Whether you're serious or joking, just pretend I didn't hear anything and drink tea!"

"Okay! Drink tea!" Niu Youdao took the teacup, raised his hands towards the other party as a sign of respect, then tasted it slowly, stopped talking, and motioned for someone to refill the water when he drank it dry.

Zhuge Xun waited for a while, but he spoke first, and asked, "I don't know where Brother Niu is from, and where is he a senior?"

Niu Youdao: "The family of the Yan Kingdom is now a follow-up mage under the command of Shang Chaozong, the king of Yongping County. The eldest princess lived forty years, and the prince couldn't escape because of something, so he ordered me to congratulate his aunt on her birthday."

Shang Dynasty?

Zhuge Xun said, with a somewhat complicated expression on his face. He is no stranger to this name. Back then, Shang Dynasty Zong was imprisoned in the sky prison for committing crimes in Yanjing, and South Korea was also paying attention.

King Ning, Shang Jianbo, put a lot of pressure on South Korea in the early years. Ten thousand cavalry broke through the 100,000 troops of South Korea. They were destroyed and unstoppable, which dealt a heavy blow to the hearts and morale of South Korea. King Ning is not dead, and South Korea dare not take it easy. He went south to attack the country of Yan, and he naturally knew about the sons of King Ning.

Zhuge Xun turned his head and gave him a wink, and immediately someone retreated quietly. He took a sip of tea slowly, and then asked again: "Both are subjects of the Yan Kingdom, why did Brother Niu want to kill Song Long?"

Niu Youdao: "I just arrived in Jinzhou Fucheng today, and Song Long murdered me. I escaped by chance, but my brother was arrested by him. He invited people from the Governor's Mansion to rescue him. He wanted to kill him. Me, why can't I kill him?"

Zhuge wondered: "Why did Song Long kill Brother Niu?"

Niu Youdao: "I am a disciple of the Shangqing Sect in the Yan Kingdom, and I am a brother of Song Long's nephew Song Yanqing. After I was expelled from the Shangqing Sect, Song Yanqing still refused to let me go, intercepting and killing me along the way. If you kill Song Yanqing in self-defense, this feud will be settled!"

A monk behind Zhuge Xun flashed his eyes, approached him, bowed his head and whispered in his ear: "Speaking of this, I remembered, there seems to be a name called this cow in the Shang Qingzong People, it seems that there is such a thing. In the announcement issued by the Shang Qingzong to the practice circle, this accusation was included in the accusation of the Song family, but it did not mention whether the disciple who killed the Song family's disciple was expelled from the sect. I heard the news before that Shang Qingzong has taken refuge with Shao Dengyun, the governor of Beizhou in South Korea!"

Zhuge Xun was thoughtful, and then said with a sigh of relief: "No wonder, brother Niu and the Song family had such an affair. As an envoy of a country, Song Long didn't put state affairs first, but did this for himself. It's really outrageous."

"But then again, a country's envoys represent the face of a country. No matter which country they are envoys to, if there is no definite charge, no one dares to mess around. Otherwise, it will easily cause disputes between the two countries. Brother Niu asked me to help with this. , is really a bit abrupt.”

"Although South Korea and Yan are enemy countries, it is rare for any country to recklessly kill an envoy. How can I do such a thing without even killing the envoy when the two armies are at war?"

Niu Youdao: "Brother Zhuge is not allowed to do anything, and he is not allowed to take responsibility. I just want Brother Zhuge to create an opportunity, an opportunity for me to do it!"

Zhuge Xun raised his brows, so... He picked up the teacup again, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Not long after, the person who had gone out came in quietly again, bowed his head and whispered in his ear: "Go to the yard where they live and confirm with the guards, yes, it is called Niu Youdao, and it is indeed Yongping County of Yan State. A person sent by Wang Shang Dynasty to celebrate Hai Ruyue's birthday."

Zhuge Xun was waiting for this news, it was impossible for Niu Youdao to believe what identity he said he was, so he must check it out.

After knowing the situation, Chazhan put it down happily, and sighed: "Brother Niu, it's not that I don't want to help you, in fact, I'm doing it for your own good. Think about it, killing an envoy of a country is not a trivial matter. Why don't you go back to the country of Yan?" Can I let you go easily? I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to even leave the ground of Jinzhou!"

"This is the third time the Song family has killed me. I am passive every time. How can this kind of thing happen again and again? The rabbit is in a hurry and bites!" Niu Youdao stretched out three fingers and pointed After a while, he put down his hand and asked again, "Does Brother Zhuge think that if I don't kill Song Long, Song Long can let me leave the ground of Jinzhou easily? I have made up my mind!"

Zhuge Xun smiled, with a mysterious and thought-provoking smile on the corner of his mouth...

Yan Pavilion, Song Long was also lighting up the lamp to read the documents. The news about Zhao Jing came from the capital of Zhao State. As an envoy stationed in Zhao State, he must keep an eye on this news every day, and report the news. After screening, those who are useful must be sent to Yanjing immediately with a Golden Wing message.

His entourage came in and reported: "My lord, I have confirmed with the governor's mansion that Niu Youdao has nothing to do with the governor's mansion, but was sent by the Shang Dynasty to celebrate Hai Ruyue's birthday."

Song Long leaned against the back of the chair, and after a moment of treachery in his eyes, "Huang Xusheng, please come here."

"Yes!" The entourage withdrew.

After a while, Huang Xusheng came in and asked, "What's the matter, sir?"

Song Long said slowly: "Niu Youdao was only sent by the Shang Dynasty sect to celebrate Hai Ruyue's birthday. As Hai Ruyue's master, if something happened to the guests who came to celebrate her birthday under her nose, she couldn't ignore it. We came forward to solve it, and we were indeed the ones who acted before."

Huang Xusheng didn't say a word, but he was muttering in his heart, you shouldn't do this with your current status as an envoy.

At the same time, I was waiting for his next words, knowing that he would not only say these, there must be something else, otherwise I would not have called myself over.

Song Long looked up to the sky and sighed: "I know that it's not appropriate for me to do this kind of thing, but after all, it's a matter of convenience. If I let go of the matter of convenience, it will be difficult to explain when I go back to see my third child! The third child is like this A son, I heard that my brother and sister shed tears every day, how can I explain it when I see her? Brother Huang, keep an eye on Niu Youdao, once you find a suitable opportunity, solve it immediately!"

After finishing speaking, he got up, cupped his hands and bowed to Huang Xusheng, "Please!"

Huang Xusheng frowned, but finally nodded, "I'll do my best!"

Song Long smiled, "Brother Huang, don't worry, after this matter is completed, the Song family will definitely thank you!"

At this moment, an attendant came in, and placed an invitation card on the desk in front of Song Long, reporting: "Han envoy Zhuge Xun sent an invitation card to invite you to the banquet!"

Song Long took the invitation card and opened it, and frowned after reading it, "What the hell is Zhuge Xiaoer doing for a banquet at night? Is there anything going on over there?"

The attendant said: "I didn't say anything, just said that it was a night banquet that only talked about romance, and I invited all the envoys from all over the world."

"All of them?" Song Long was suspicious. If he was only invited, he would have to think about what he meant. Envoys from all over the world had invited him, but he was vigilant. Don't be sold out by these people. Definitely be there to see what's going on!

Also as an envoy, he knows the nature of these people too well, they are all people who will do anything for the interests of the country behind them.

These people with their own ghosts get together and only talk about romance? Believe him!

Look at the time on the invitation, it's almost here, and immediately ask someone to make some preparations.

Baihua Pavilion is located in the garden in the center of Liufang Pavilion. The pavilions are very elegant under the embellishment of bright lights, and there is a small lake beside it.

Before the guests came, the host of the banquet arrived first. Zhuge Xun was wandering by the fence of the waterside pavilion with his hands behind his hands, and several singers were playing the qin and flute beside him.

After waiting for a long time, envoys from various countries got stuck in time, and Song Long was naturally among them.

The one who arrived first asked Zhuge Xun what was the matter, Zhuge Xun only smiled back, and he will know later!

Looking back, he slightly collided with Song Dynasty envoy Tu Huaiyu's eyes.

When everyone arrived, delicious food and wine were served one after another, Zhuge Xun stretched out his hand to invite everyone to enter the long pavilion and take a seat.

After everyone sat down, they found that there was still an empty seat, and the envoy Sui Pai asked, "Zhuge, did you invite someone else?"

"Crack! Crack! Crack!" Zhuge Xun clapped his hands three times.

The sound of the zither and the Xiao sound under the steps stopped suddenly, and the closed pavilion door opened at the other end of the long pavilion where everyone was sitting, and Niu Youdao came out, followed by Fang Zhe, who limped and held a sword in his arms. Yuanfang.

Some people were suspicious and some were puzzled, but Song Long squinted his eyes and looked at Zhuge Xun coldly.

Yuan Fang and Fang Zhe stopped outside the pavilion and did not follow inside, nor did the other people's followers, so they were not special either.

Everyone saw Niu Youdao coming in, but no one was worried about him messing around. With so many masters around, it's almost the same unless they are impatient.

After Niu Youdao entered, he cupped his hands to everyone and said, "Xia Niu Youdao is serving under the king's tent of Yongping County in Yan State. This time, the prince was supposed to come to celebrate his aunt's birthday in person, but he couldn't escape because of something. Come here to do it for me. Niu is lucky to be able to see you here!"

Everyone had different expressions, no one said anything, Zhuge Xun stretched out his hand to signal, and Niu Youdao took the seat and sat between Jin envoy Chu Xiangyu and Wei envoy Sui Pai.

As soon as he sat down here, Song Long sneered, "The people here are all envoys from various countries, what kind of person are you, and you deserve to be seated here?"

Niu Youdao looked calm, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes without saying a word, allowing himself to be ridiculed.

Others watched.

Zhuge Xun pressed his hand, signaled Song Long to be calm and calm, and said with a smile: "Before we talk about the business, I have a small matter to explain to you. In fact, on the way to Jinzhou, I met Brother Niu and I already know him. It’s too late to meet each other! Before, Brother Niu came to me and talked about a grievance between himself and the Song family in Yan State. He didn’t want to and dared not fight against the Song family, but the matter has already happened, so what can we do? He begged When it comes to me, I hope that I will come forward and be a peacemaker to resolve this grievance. Since everyone is here, let's be a witness by the way. I wonder what Brother Song wants?"
