So Tie Heng suddenly stood up and asked Lu Zhan: "May I ask if this brother Lu has ever held an important position under the Governor of Sima?"
Lu Zhan answered honestly: "No."
"So have you ever made any military exploits in battle?"
"I'm ashamed to say it," Lu Zhan replied, "I have no experience in joining the army."
Tie Heng snorted a sneer from his nostrils: "You have neither been an official nor a soldier, and you have no merit. Then why do you come to join us, the Eighth Prince?"
Qin Baiyu heard that his tone was unkind and quickly smoothed things over by saying, "General Tie, please don't be so rude. Since Brother Lu Zhan was recommended by Governor Sima in a letter written by him, he must have something special about him. Today we only taste the freshest food.
When it comes to singing and not talking about anything else, you guys can’t let it spoil the fun.”
Tie Heng snorted heavily, grabbed a glass of strong wine on the table, raised his head and poured it into his mouth.
At this time, the eighth prince ordered the eunuch to hand Sima Xingge's letter to Qin Baiyu and let him read it carefully. Then he raised the wine glass in his hand to Lu Zhan and smiled modestly: "Brother Sima is in the letter.
If I call you my little friend, you don’t mind if I call you my brother too. Come on, Brother Lu, I’ll give you a toast.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lu Zhan raised his glass and drank it in one gulp.
The Eighth Prince also drank the wine in his glass and asked Lu Zhan again: "Brother Lu just came from the border of Hongzhou. I wonder how Brother Sima is doing now?"
Lu Zhan gave an overview of what he knew about Sima Xingge's current situation. Some of the words he had been entrusted by Sima Xingge and Wu Ju to tell His Highness the Eighth Prince personally, most of them related to some military information on the border and the barbarian alliance.
Some unusual behavior recently.
At this time, Qin Baiyu also read the letter in his hand carefully. He carefully put away the letter and said to Lu Zhan with a smile: "The Governor of Sima mentioned in the letter that Brother Lu had just participated in the Sima family's once-in-a-decade gang competition.
He belongs to the Secret Realm Heroes Association in Shagu. Moreover, he is the best among the children of various aristocratic families in Hongzhou in the Heroes Association. I just wonder which wealthy family Brother Lu Zhan comes from?"
Lu Zhan replied: "It's the Lu Mansion in Yunmeng City."
Several Huajin masters sitting at the same table looked at me and me, and they all showed confusion in their eyes that they had never heard before.
Qin Baiyu was a man of great knowledge and memory. After pondering for a while, he immediately remembered it and said to His Highness the Eighth Prince: "The current righteous and brave Marquis Lu Bufan of Yunmeng City in Hongzhou was the one who assisted Emperor Taizu to open up the
The descendants of Marquis Lu Wen were the ones who were so powerful in the Chu country that they were granted the title of Wenjun by all the countries. However, because the descendants of Marquis Lu Wen made some mistakes, the fiefdom of Wenjun was taken back and transferred to Yunmeng City.
It is the inheritance of the Lu family in Yunmeng County, Hongzhou."
"Oh? It turns out that the good nephew is the descendant of Marquis Lu Wen." His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince gave Lu Zhan a thumbs up and said, "You really have the same demeanor as your ancestor, the same young hero, the same outstanding combat power. The Lu family has a person like you.
You are such a young talent and you have a great successor, so I am very happy and congratulated."
Although there was a lot of praise in the eighth prince's words, the other Huajin masters were somewhat contemptuous, thinking in their hearts: It turns out that Lu Zhan was just from a run-down little border family. Such a run-down situation.
Apart from the powerful young man in the Transformation Realm in front of him who can suppress his luck, there probably are no other outstanding figures in the family, otherwise he would have heard of it given his status.
Speaking of the struggle between the government and the opposition, it often takes the strength of many strong people to determine the winner and achieve great things. Based on past experience, it is extremely difficult to develop with the power of one person alone, and this Lu Zhan
Because the family he comes from is very weak, I'm afraid there won't be any powerful people from other families who can help him. Then he is destined to be alone in his future development, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve anything big.
.
Tie Heng had been particularly displeased with Lu Zhan from just now, thinking that this kid was just relying on the little wealth accumulated by Lu Wenhou's ancestors to break through to the realm of energy, and then came to the capital to opportunistically look for opportunities.
When His Highness the Eighth Prince saw that the food and drinks were almost served at the banquet, he said to Qin Baiyu: "Don't you like to play the piano on a daily basis? Why don't you play a song to cheer up all the brothers while the wine is in high spirits?
"
Qin Baiyu smiled and declined and said: "My subordinates are just playing tricks to entertain themselves. How can they be in the elegant hall? Let's forget it tonight. Don't taint your ears."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tie Heng intervened loudly: "As for adding to the fun, I, Lao Tie, have an idea so that you can enjoy the wine and feast your eyes on it."
His Highness the Eighth Prince looked at him with a smile: "General Iron, if you have any clever ideas, it doesn't matter."
Tie Heng stood up, pointed at Lu Zhan from a distance and said: "This little brother has been appreciated by Governor Sima at a young age. I think he must be something special. Everyone is drinking happily today. I, Lao Tie, would like to meet this Lu Zhan."
I want to play a few tricks to help you enjoy your drinking, can you guys agree?"
Several Huajin masters immediately applauded in approval.
Lu Zhan felt bored when he saw that the finger of blame was pointed at him so quickly. After all, he was already a top master in the Huajin realm, and it was a bit awkward for him to act like a showman and fight with each other to please others.
It was despicable. But there was still a lazy smile on his face, but in his heart he looked down upon the eighth prince and his subordinates.
Seeing that Lu Zhan was unmoved, Tie Heng felt more and more that this young man was just a silver-like wax spear head. Although he could break through to the Huajing realm with the help of some magical elixirs, his real combat power might not be able to keep up with him.
promote.
So he raised his eyebrows and said: "What? Brother Lu, are you unwilling to take action? Or are you afraid of being hurt by Lao Tie? That's good, I have my hands free, brother Lu, you can choose whatever weapon suits you.
Okay. Come on, let’s have a good fight. Firstly, we can help everyone enjoy the wine, and secondly, we can show His Royal Highness our true abilities."
As he spoke, he took off his jacket, revealing the powerful and plump muscles underneath, jumped onto the open space in front of the banquet, and assumed a provocative fighting posture, which won the full house's applause from several Huajin realm masters.
Although His Highness the Eighth Prince smiled slightly on the surface, he felt that this was not a good idea. He glanced at Qin Baiyu.
Qin Baiyu was well aware of Tie Heng's personality and knew that once this person made a move, he would act like a desperate man and would never give up until the outcome was decided. As for Lu Zhan, although he didn't know his strength.
However, judging from some of the signs he has mastered through his unique "Heavenly Wheel Observation Technique", this person is probably a bit more ruthless than Tie Heng. Once these two people confront each other, I'm afraid
Either party will end up dead or injured.
So he said to Tie Heng, who jumped into the middle of the field and shook his folding fan: "Hey, General Tie. How indecent is it to expose your breasts in front of several princesses? Put on your clothes quickly. Didn't I tell you that today?
In the evening, we will only drink wine and fish. We only talk about romance and not martial arts. Come back to us and sit down quickly. Come on, you have to punish yourself with three drinks to apologize for being so rude in front of all the princesses just now."
Tie Heng, who was in high spirits, did not expect that the young Imperial Master would stop him with words. He was stunned for a moment, and before he could refute, he saw the young Imperial Master's face straighten and said, "Tie Heng, don't you even listen to my words?"
Although Tie Heng is a reckless man, he is still in awe of Qin Baiyu, who is obsessed with things. In addition, Qin Baiyu saved his life on the battlefield of the conquest of Sangyang Kingdom years ago. Now he sees his savior.
After speaking with a straight face, he had no choice but to walk back to his seat angrily, put on his clothes, glared at Lu Zhan fiercely, raised his glass and drank three glasses of wine.
After that, Tie Heng didn't say another word. He just kept drinking.
Everyone ignored him and just drank and sipped fish. During the dinner, His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince and Qin Baiyu asked Lu Zhan some questions about Sima Xingge, Wu Ju and the current situation at the Hongzhou border. Time passed quickly.
After three drinks, the full moon was in the sky, and the banquet dispersed. Lu Zhan also said goodbye to the Eighth Prince, Qin Baiyu and others, and left the Eighth Prince's Mansion to return to "Qi Ya Pavilion".
After everyone dispersed, His Highness the Eighth Prince and Qin Baiyu came to the study room in the inner hall. They sat opposite each other. The Eighth Prince asked Qin Baiyu: "Little Imperial Master, what do you think of this Lu Zhan?"
Qin Baiyu stroked the short beard under his chin with his fingers, and said in deep thought: "According to my subordinates, although this son is very young, his mind is already extremely tough and mature. If my subordinate's guess is correct, this son's previous
My experiences are extremely complicated, and I have even encountered some things that ordinary people cannot imagine, so that I can develop such a scheming and magnanimous attitude."
The Eighth Prince said "Yes": "The Lone King feels the same way. This son's eyes are deep and calm, which is very inconsistent with his young appearance. I think our Eighth Prince's Palace has so many spies distributed throughout the empire, but in Hong
When did such an incredible young hero appear on the border of the state? So many spies lurking in Hongzhou didn’t discover it——"
"According to my subordinates, this Lu Zhan should be a figure who has suddenly risen to prominence in the past two years." Qin Baiyu speculated: "Otherwise, based on our intelligence network, it would be impossible not to realize that there is such a unique person in a wealthy family.
Different children.”
"Tell me, little Imperial Master, whether this person can be of great use now?"
Qin Baiyu stood up and walked around the room, saying as he walked: "To be honest, this son always gives me an unfathomable feeling. Just like His Highness' previous analysis, I also think that Sima Xing is probably
It was because Ge realized this extremely special demeanor in him that he did not dare to keep him by his side, but he also felt that it was a pity to bury such a person, so he recommended him to us. If the prince is right now,
I think it is too early to entrust Lu Zhan with such an important task. We must conduct some careful examinations on him first, and it will not be too late to make a decision after we find out his background."
"What the little Imperial Master said makes sense." The Eighth Prince nodded slightly.
At this time, the eunuch's exclamation sounded outside the study door, followed by another "bang bang" knock on the door.
The eighth prince frowned slightly, who was so bold as to act so wildly in the prince's residence?
The young Imperial Master Qin Baiyu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It must be General Tie Hengtie. This guy drank so much alcohol today and is probably depressed. He must want to come to His Highness to ask for an explanation."
Both he and the Eighth Prince knew that he had an iron temper. He was a straight man with a straight face, and he couldn't rub the slightest bit of dirt into his eyes. He just had an inconvenient attack in front of everyone at the banquet. He probably felt really depressed after he returned, so he had to go in front of them.
It only counts if you vent it out.
Sure enough, the door of the study room was knocked open with a bang, and Tie Heng strode into the study room with his broad arms swinging, shouting: "Little Imperial Master, you must say something to me, Lao Tie, today.
Clearly, otherwise I won’t be able to sleep tonight.”
Tie Heng was followed by several panicked eunuchs. The eunuchs knelt down and shouted to the Eighth Prince: "Your Highness, this guy is drunk and crazy. He suddenly barged in and said he had something to ask. The servants are weak.
Nothing can stop him."
His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince waved his hands to the eunuchs, "Okay, you have nothing to do here, please step back."
The eunuch who served in the chamber bowed and left.
His Highness the Eighth Prince turned to look at Tie Heng, his face darkened, "General Tie, you are the captain of the guard of the lonely king. How dare you act so wildly in front of so many people in the palace? What crime should you deserve?"!~!
