Chapter Nine Hundred and Twelve: Aning's Birthday Banquet
So, Luzhu acted like she was always in love with her, and made countless confessions of her true feelings. However, Wang Mi's stance was still firm.
"Luzhu, I understand your thoughts, but it is absolutely impossible for you to go home with me."
"Too many things happened tonight, and everyone is tired. Let's go back to the big tent to rest. If anything happens, we'll talk about it tomorrow morning."
Wang Shilang said so, so Lvzhu had no choice but to do what he ordered.
Moreover, it is still very conscious.
Fortunately, the soldiers in Beifu are still very qualified. Although the old and young men here have been dry for a long time, they basically can't move when they see a woman.
However, they still made way for Luzhu in a very polite manner.
What's more important is that when Lu Zhu walked by them, they only dared to look at it a few more times, but they didn't dare to do anything else.
Worried about being punished by Wang Mi, some people even put their hands behind their backs and did not dare to move their limbs, fearing that they would do something bad and be misunderstood by Wang Shilang.
Wang Mi watched Lu Zhu leave, finally entered the military tent, and let out a long breath.
Not simple!
This crisis-ridden night finally passed!
If it goes according to his temper, of course it would be most appropriate to gather a team as soon as possible and flee Xuzhou.
However, this cannot be done now.
General Fu Fei was very considerate. Not only did he not detain anyone, he also did not harm the Jin soldiers.
Whether they are in the city or outside the city, everyone is treated properly.
Fu Fei is so righteous, and you, Wang Shilang, are so particular. It would be inappropriate for you to just run away in despair with your tail between your legs.
No matter how impatient you are, you have to wait.
Moreover, judging from Fu Fei's appearance, he is at least an honest man and should not kill the Jin army again.
Moreover, Wang Mi and others have been released from the city.
This is tantamount to letting the tiger go back to the mountain and the fish into the sea. If Fu Fei's original intention is to fight the Jin army, then obviously, now is not a very good time.
The generals and brains of the Jin army have returned, and the combat effectiveness of the Jin army has increased instantly.
This is not a good thing for Di Qin.
Moreover, Wang Mi is also somewhat confident on this point.
After all, if he wanted to take action, he would have done it long ago. Wouldn't it be better to do it while everyone in the group was in the city?
Since he could hold back and not take action at that time, it shows that Fu Fei is still very determined in making peace.
Now it is even more impossible to do it. To use a modern term, the price/performance ratio is too low.
Wang Mi entered the military tent, He Wuji entered the military tent, Liu Yu followed, and of course Wei Yongzhi.
coming!
All the friends from Jingkou are here.
Come together!
Looking at these familiar young faces, Wang Shilang had mixed feelings in his heart.
He should be grateful.
Fate was still on his side after all.
And these brothers in front of me don't know whether they should thank themselves or dear Shilang Wang.
After all, it was because they were on the same boat as Shilang Wang that they were able to save their lives together.
It is all because of the aura of the protagonist Wang Shilang that shines everywhere that we are where we are today.
such a pity!
These people are now beaming with joy and extremely excited, but they still don’t know who the real benefactor is.
I don’t know how to be grateful.
If we talk about it seriously, it is not an exaggeration for these people to kowtow to him.
And for Wang Mi, what is even more sad?
The person who has received the favor does not know who the benefactor is, and the benefactor clearly knows that he is a great benefactor, but cannot convey this kindness to them.
It cannot be said that, dear brothers, you are where you are today because I am a time traveler and possess the halo of the protagonist.
If it weren't for me, you would have been in pieces!
What is time travel?
Time travel is XXX.
How about this.
"Zhiyuan, you were just pretending."
"I see that you are not drunk at all, nor are you in a trance. You just followed my instructions and pulled you out just to deceive Fu Fei!"
Sure enough, this was the first thing He Wuji wanted to investigate.
After being seen through at a glance, Wang Mi was very calm.
There is nothing to be ashamed of. You see, you should have known it from the moment he rushed out of the city with the green beads. With He Wuji's mind, how could he not see it?
It should be said that it was a great honor to Wang Mi that he could bear to discuss it until this time.
"Of course I'm pretending."
"If we don't pretend, can we come out?"
"Can you still bring the troops and horses out safely?"
"What's wrong with this?" He Wuji couldn't figure it out.
"Since you were planning to abandon Li Dalian and Li Dalian early in the morning, just say so. Fu Fei also has this intention. You offer these two people to him on your own initiative, which is in line with his wishes, and we can get rid of him earlier.
Already."
"You won't experience so many twists and turns."
Thinking of what happened tonight, He Wuji was not afraid, but felt that it was very troublesome.
What women, rewards, secret conversations in the dark room, these things were unnecessary in the first place.
It also has no effect on the development of the situation.
A lot of time was wasted.
If there is any positive effect, it can only be said that it took a long time and the brothers finally had a good meal.
Full and satisfied.
Other than that, He Wuji really couldn't find the value of Wang Mi doing this.
However, looking at Wang Mi's calm expression, we knew that he definitely didn't think so.
"Of course you can't do that."
"Think about it, even though the ending is happy now, it doesn't mean that Fu Fei didn't have murderous intentions when we were in the city."
"At that time, the situation was all on his side, and our lives were in his hands. If he wanted, he could also detain us and deal with us together."
"That being said, what you did is also very ridiculous. How do you know that Fu Fei will definitely benefit from it?"
He Wuji was still very unconvinced. As Wang Mi said, we cannot deduce whether the process is right or wrong based on the results.
Now Fu Fei has indeed taken advantage of this trick, but before that, where did Wang Mi's confidence come from?
I can't see it, I really can't see it.
Speaking of this matter, Wang Mi can explain it to them.
It is also necessary.
"If we take the initiative to give people to Fu Fei, we have fulfilled his wish, and he will look down on us."
"We felt that we were very worried and scared after entering the city, and we hoped that he would let us go. Therefore, we took the initiative to give him these two prisoners of Di Qin, hoping that he would show his favor."
"This will definitely fuel his arrogance."
"Think about it, once his momentum rises, will he be satisfied with just killing Li Dalian and the others?"
"He will intensify his efforts. If he increases the pressure, he will only take our lives."
"Then our situation will be even more dangerous!"
"It's better to be like this now. He wants to kill Fu Zuan, but we refuse to let him do it, so we just fight him head on."
"In this way, he will keep arguing with us about this matter, and when he finally gets his wish and can detain Fu Zuan and the others, he will be satisfied."
"It's something that can excite him, and we can escape."
"Do you understand this truth?"
He Wuji understood!
He does get it!
This is the case with many things. If you don't have someone else to give you some advice, you won't be able to figure it out by yourself.
However, it's different when someone prompts me.
All in all!
So, after Wang Mi explained this key point clearly, He Wuji's muttering to himself was the only thing left in the military tent.
That’s it, that’s it, that’s it.
This last difficulty before returning to Jintu has been overcome since then, very smoothly.
However, the crisis for the Jin army and Wang Shilang had just begun.
When they return to Jiankang, they will face real difficulties. At that time, how will the soldiers deal with it?
Jiankang City, Wuyi Lane.
Wang Shilang and his army were walking on the road of triumph, and a lively banquet was also being held in Wuyi Lane, where the high officials of Jiankang City gathered.
"Aning, I really didn't expect that you would still have the leisure to hold a birthday banquet now."
In the Wang family's mansion in Taiyuan, there were a lot of guests, and a few old friends were also sitting together for the rare occasion. Except for Xi Hui, there was no one else who spoke so eccentrically.
"Why are you not interested?"
"The situation is unstable, and An Ning is not allowed to celebrate his birthday?" Yin Zhongkan refuted immediately after having a glass of wine.
"I didn't mean that."
"I'm just expressing my admiration."
Strictly speaking, Xi Hui was telling the truth.
"Aning, I heard that you sent an invitation to Mr. Xie?"
"Have you... figured it out?"
Xi Hui's admiration came not only from the tense situation, but also from Wang Gong's courage to make grand arrangements for his birthday.
What's more, he actually dared to invite Xie An.
This is truly an unprecedented event!
Amazing!
Yin Zhongkan paused and looked at Wang Gong: "Is this happening?"
Compared to Xi Hui, Yin Zhongkan was indeed lagging behind in terms of his knowledge of the matter. This was the first time he had heard of this matter.
Naturally, I am very curious.
Wang Gong looked at the guests who were gradually gathering and showed a proud look.
"Yes, I did send the invitation."
"Is it weird?"
Isn't it strange enough that someone is really interesting?
"No, no, I didn't mean that."
"I'm just curious, why do you suddenly want to invite Mr. Xie?"
"You know, you two have been at odds for more than a day or two."
In fact, asking this question at this time already shows that Yin Zhongkan is still a kind-hearted person and relatively kind.
Do I need to have any reason to invite others to a birthday party?
If there is no reason, it can’t be done?
Xie An was also an important minister of the imperial court, a prominent figure in Jiankang City, and even a somewhat more powerful figure than Wang Aning.
Isn't it normal for such a big shot to want him to attend his birthday party?
Could it be that the Taiyuan Wang family doesn’t have the face or the qualifications?
Wang Gong felt a trace of dissatisfaction in his heart, but he did not get angry at his friends. He also knew that these people did not mean any harm.
He just smiled flatly and said: "It's precisely because we haven't seen each other for a long time that I wanted to take this opportunity to meet."
"After all, Mr. Xie is the elder. We can let go of the past grudges."
hehe!
Well said!
If this grudge could really be resolved so easily, wouldn't it have been better a few years earlier?
Why wait until now?
"Aning, there is no one else here now. They are all my brothers. Just say whatever you want."
No more!
Xi Hui couldn't stand it anymore.
This Wang Gong's acting is too much.
What kind of relationship he has with Xie An, don't the brothers know?
That is simply incompatible, no exaggeration at all.
Why did Wang Gong show his kindness to Xie An at this time?
To be honest, now is really not a good time. Even Xi Hui, who knows Wang Gong best, can't figure out why he did this.
Nowadays, between the two of them, Wang Gong has an absolute advantage and is the one with the upper hand. I think back then, when Wang Gong was at a disadvantage, he did not bow to Xie An or show kindness.
How could he show his favor to Xie An now that he was in his prime?
"Of course it's not that simple to invite him over, but if you say I have malicious intentions, it would be an injustice to me."
"Did you know that I had visited you before this?"
"What?"
"In person?"
"Going to Xie's Mansion?"
The brothers' eyes widened. Good guy, if he doesn't tell himself about this kind of thing, who will know?
Moreover, judging from his tone, it seemed that this incident had been going on for some time.
Such a big thing happened, but none of the brothers knew about it. For just a moment, both Xi Hui and Yin Zhongkan felt a sense of loss unconsciously.
At least I feel disappointed and a little dissatisfied.
It is conceivable that Wang Gong took the initiative to visit Xie An's door for a very important matter.
What exactly happened?
How important is it?
Since it is such an important matter, why not discuss it with the brothers in advance?
Not only was there no discussion, there wasn't even a breath of wind.
Isn't this a deliberate concealment?
These are not brothers anymore!
However, there is one brother who probably doesn't have any objections.
After all, it was easy to hide this kind of thing from others, but it was extremely difficult to hide it from him.
It was Wang Xun who had been sitting on the small couch, quietly sipping tea, and had not said a word so far.
The Wang family's residence in Langya is also on Wuyi Lane, and is also close to the Xie Mansion. It is difficult for the Wang family to escape the eyes of the Wang family.
However, even though Wang Xun did not disclose this matter to his brothers, no one blamed him.
Because his temperament is like this.
Wang Xun has always been a person who doesn't like to meddle in others' affairs, let alone interfere in things. It would be normal if he didn't know about this matter.
If he knew it and kept silent, it would be perfectly normal.
The biggest problem has always been Wang Gong.
However, since it was not revealed at the time, there is even less possibility of revealing it now.
Brothers are also very aware of this.
Therefore, I didn’t ask any more questions.
It's useless to ask, so why bother asking for trouble?
Wang Gong did not answer their questions directly, but gave them each a full glass of wine. The service was so attentive, which was regarded as an apology.
Now that Wang Aning has expressed his attitude here, it is no longer easy for the brothers to argue.
