Surrounded by many officials, Qin Yi felt a little overwhelmed and quickly raised his hands and said, "I have met all of my colleagues. I'm glad to meet you!"

I thought that it would be over after being polite to everyone, but these people kept talking, "Xiaguan has newly arrived high-quality tea at his home. I would like to invite General Qin to come to the mansion to taste it. I wonder if the general has it?"

Empty?"

"General Qin, the last general sent you an invitation. Did you receive it?"

"The lower official heard that the general has never been married, and that his sister-in-law is beautiful and talented. She is a perfect match for the general. I wonder if the general is willing?"

Qin Yi became more and more upset and responded quickly, "I have been very busy recently, but fortunately I have quite a lot of free time these days. If my colleagues want to invite me, please write an invitation so that I can arrange time and choose a date to go there.

."

After hearing this, everyone was immediately happy and responded repeatedly, and then said, "General Qin, please come in quickly. Don't wait at the door."

"Hurry in."

Qin Yi was speechless. If you hadn't stopped him, I would have entered the mansion long ago.

Immediately, he was not polite, walked out of the path that everyone had given way to, led his horse and his soldiers, and walked quickly towards the Dingjun Hou Mansion.

The movement on Qin Yi's side has long attracted the attention of the housekeeper Liu Lao, who has already sent people to invite Marquis Dingjun.

Whether it is Qin Yi's official position or Qin Yi's title, they are worthy of being personally welcomed by Marquis Dingjun.

So as soon as Qin Yi walked to the gate of the mansion, he saw Marquis Dingjun striding over with many servants.

Qin Yi was slightly surprised. He handed the horse's rein to the boy, then went up to greet him and said, "The Marquis personally greets you. This will defeat the general!"

Marquis Dingjun smiled happily and said, "I am extremely grateful to General Qin for coming here as a favor, but I'm afraid I'm neglecting you!"

"Follow me to the table." After Dingjunhou said this, he walked side by side with Qin Yi and led him to the lobby.

Entering the hall, many officials looked at them one after another. Some people with extraordinary status, such as Duke Ying, the brother of Xuan Lingyao whom Qin Yi had met, came up to them and smiled and exchanged greetings.

Under the introduction of Marquis Dingjun, after communicating with many officials and getting to know each other, Qin Yi was led to the table.

Now his status was different from before, so when he was led to the table, Qin Yi didn't have the slightest fear and sat down safely.

Marquis Dingjun did not leave, but introduced Qin Yi to a man next to him. This man was wearing a python robe, had a fair face, was polite, and was very noble.

"General Qin, this is Prince Ning. He loves poetry and often talks about you to me." Marquis Dingjun said with a smile.

Qin Yi was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that the other party was actually the prince.

In Linzhan, there were not many princes and they didn't appear often. I didn't expect that there would be a banquet in the Marquis Dingjun's mansion, but there would be princes attending.

Of course, Qin Yi also knew that Prince Ning was definitely not from the Dingjunhou faction. Unless he wanted to seek death, as a prince, he had to avoid getting too close to civil servants and generals.

Prince Ning was full of admiration and said with a smile, "General Qin, you have extraordinary literary talent and have written many popular poems. I have admired your name for a long time and have long wanted to get acquainted with you!"

Qin Yi handed over his hand and said humbly, "Your Majesty, you have given me the award. A few poems are not worth mentioning!"

Then, the two began to communicate. Qin Yi's mind was full of famous stories throughout the ages. He casually said a few words and impressed Prince Ning with admiration. The conversation was very pleasant.

From Prince Ning's words, Qin Yi also gained some understanding of the emperor's affairs, and learned that the mother of the empress was not the late emperor's queen, but a noble concubine.

Just because the queen's son died in the Chixinmen assassination, the late emperor had not established a prince for several years. How could he know that he was defeated by Dali four years ago and died in depression without making a will. Fortunately, the military minister was decisive and supported him.

The situation was stabilized only when the empress came to power.

Nowadays, the Empress has only one brother, King Mu. Prince Ning is the son of Concubine Shu and is younger than the Empress. Among the princes, he is the one who has a better relationship with the Empress except King Mu.

Therefore, Prince Ning dared to show his face and participate in the banquet without worrying about the empress having doubts.

After chatting for a while, the banquet was opened, and everyone began to mingle, eat and drink.

Not long after, everyone came to propose a toast to King Ning, Marquis Dingjun and Qin Yi. Qin Yi did not show any airs and drank the wine in a very generous manner.

Although he is not good at drinking, everyone is so enthusiastic, and even if he does not join the Dingjunhou faction, he will still be able to help each other in the future, so it is a good idea to build a good relationship.

As we ate and chatted, before we knew it, it was already Xu time, it was getting late, and we had to go to court tomorrow. Many officials came to the table one after another, thanked Marquis Dingjun for the banquet, and took their leave.

Marquis Dingjun didn't try to persuade him to stay. After all, they had been feasting for a long time and it was time to disperse, so he got up to say goodbye to everyone.

Not long after, most of the guests in the hall had left. Qin Yi also stood up and said goodbye to Prince Ning and Marquis Dingjun.

After being sent off by Marquis Dingjun, Qin Yi walked towards the outside of the hall. Along the way, he saw several people drunk, lying on the table and sleeping soundly. He couldn't help but laugh.

When he came to the front yard, he took the reins handed over by the boy, Qin Yi said goodbye to Marquis Ding, then led his soldiers and galloped towards Hua Weifang's mansion.

Although the accompanying servants cannot sit at the table, several tables will be opened in the side courtyard to provide meals for many servants, so the soldiers will also be well fed.

After returning to the house, he packed up a guest room for the soldiers to live in. Qin Yi returned to his bedroom. At this time, he was drunk, so he took off his coat, lay on the bed and fell asleep.

I don't know when he fell asleep, but Qin Yi suddenly heard a noise and woke up quickly. He quickly put on his coat and listened carefully. He found that there were deafening footsteps outside the mansion. Judging from the number... there seemed to be a lot of people!

Qin Yi was slightly startled, and quickly took out the moiré knife from the system space, walked out of the bedroom, and walked quickly towards the front yard.

When passing the guest room, the door happened to open, revealing the solemn face of the soldier!

Obviously, he was also awakened.

"General!" the soldier shouted urgently.

Qin Yi signaled to be silent, and then led his soldiers to walk quickly but slowly towards the front yard.

When he came to the front yard, the sound outside the room became more and more deafening. He could faintly hear the sound of armor, and Qin Yi was even more frightened!

In the capital, soldiers appeared late at night... Could it be that there was a rebellion?

The soldiers were equally horrified and wanted to say something, but did not dare to speak out.

Just when Qin Yi was full of doubts, he suddenly heard a shout from outside the courtyard, "The last general is guarding hundreds of households with a thousand swords. Please open the door quickly, General Qin!"

Thousand Sword Guard?

The empress's personal bodyguard?

Why come to find yourself?

For a moment, many thoughts flashed through Qin Yi's mind, and he felt slightly relieved.

If the opponent is really the Thousand Sword Guard, it means that the situation is not what he thought.

Of course, Qin Yi would not be so stupid that he would believe whatever the other party said. After thinking about it, he moved and hid under the corner, guarding against the other party's arrows, and then responded loudly, "What do you want, sir?" <

/p>

Hearing the reply, the people outside the house were overjoyed and lowered their voices, as if they were worried about disturbing other people. After all, Huaweifang was full of high-ranking officials and nobles. He responded in a low voice, "The last general will guard hundreds of households with a thousand swords."

, on your majesty’s order, I came to blockade General Qin’s residence. I was worried that the general would have a misunderstanding, so I came to inform the general and asked the general not to go out without permission!”

Qin Yi was shocked when he heard this!

Isn't it house arrest to seal off one's own residence and prevent one from going out?

Why did the empress put herself under house arrest?
