The white tiger was carried directly to the government office. The news that Duke Xuanping had hunted back a white tiger spread throughout Guanlong County, and even the neighboring Yunzhou County heard about it.
When Qi Yunche heard the news, his eyes widened, "White Tiger?"
Wei Liang looked at him with a smile, "Yeah."
"That Wang Xikang is really abominable!" When he heard the news, Qi Yunche happened to come out of the martial arts arena with a big knife in his hand.
At this moment, in anger, he raised his hand and directly chopped down the tree on one side.
The trunk of the tree was tall, so it was not cut in half, but a large gap was cut.
Wei Liang looked at the gap and was silent for a moment. He originally told Qi Yunche the news, firstly to stimulate his fighting spirit, and secondly to remind him to take care of the Duke at all times.
He rubbed his brows and said with a headache: "Calm down first. The Duke has hunted back the white tiger. Now Wang Xikang is panicking inside. He may not dare to do anything else in a short time."
"Huh!" Qi Yunche snorted coldly, "If I were here, I would have to make him look good!"
"We'd better make preparations first in case the Duke needs it, but in the end we can't help."
Qi Yunche knew the importance, so he didn't say anything after hearing the words. He picked up the big knife and immediately agreed.
However, to Wei Liang's expectation, Wang Xikang not only did not restrain himself, but in fear, he even believed that Zhao Jin could not be kept and must be removed as soon as possible.
But the next day, Wang Xikang held a banquet to celebrate Zhao Jin's hunting of the white tiger.
When Zhao Jin learned the news, the banquet was already in full preparation and would be held tonight.
Wang Xikang did not give Zhao Jin any chance to refuse. Fortunately, Zhao Jin did not want to refuse.
In such a hurry to hold a banquet, there must be something waiting for him at the banquet.
That night, the banquet started, and almost all the gentry in Guanlong County came.
As soon as Zhao Jin entered, everyone in the lively banquet was silent for a moment.
After a while, all kinds of compliments came flooding in.
"I've heard about Duke Xuanping's majesty a long time ago. When I saw him today, he was really majestic! Hearing it a hundred times is better than seeing him once."
"The Duke of Guo has made great achievements at a young age, and he has achieved such an achievement not long after his prime years!"
"The Duke of Guo has extraordinary magnanimity. No wonder he was able to hunt that white tiger. This little man is really ashamed of himself. He is ashamed of himself!"
There were compliments in his ears. Zhao Jin's expression did not change, he just nodded to everyone, raised his eyelids slightly, and said to Wang Xikang who was sitting on the table: "Master Wang."
Wang Xikang was not sure whether Zhao Jin was angry because of this, but the banquet had been held, everything was confirmed, and his purpose was achieved.
Pressing down the uneasiness in his chest, Wang Xikang stood up with a smile and greeted him, "The Duke of Guo has arrived! I was unable to see the majesty of the Duke with my own eyes that day. I feel regretful even thinking about it!"
Zhao Jin calmly walked to the chief seat and sat down, snorted and did not respond to Wang Xikang.
With Zhao Jin here, even if Wang Xikang is the master of the government office, he will not be able to take the throne.
Wang Xikang's face was extremely ugly, and Zhao Jin clearly wanted to break his face.
It seems that what Zhao Jin did before was probably to make him lower his guard, so he acted like this.
Now I find that this method doesn't work, so I have no worries.
Wang Xikang took a deep breath, and it took a while to calm down the anger in his heart.
Ruining the entire plan just to vent your anger for a moment is not worth the gain.
After this banquet, he wanted to see if Zhao Jin could still be as majestic as he is today!
Zhao Jin had been secretly observing Wang Xikang's expression. Seeing this, he became more and more sure that there was something wrong with the banquet.
He narrowed his eyes and calmly thought about what could be the problem and how to deal with it at that time.
Zhao Jin has already arrived, and the banquet started naturally.
Since Zhao Jin arrived, these wealthy gentry have repeatedly wanted to see Zhao Jin, but they have no way, and Zhao Jin does not want to see them.
At this time, I finally had the opportunity to see people. One or two of them came up to propose a toast, wanting to test them out.
Zhao Jin held the wine glass in his hand, and the delicate wine glass was constantly being turned and played with in his hands. Not even a drop of the clear wine inside was spilled.
He did not see Wang Xikang's eyes, either explicitly or covertly, glancing at the wine glass in his hand several times.
Bai Wu on the side focused Wang Xikang's gaze and was about to remind Zhao Jin.
However, a minor official at the banquet suddenly stood up and said, "I have heard of the reputation of the Duke of Guo for a long time, so today I want to toast to the Duke of Guo."
Wang Xikang, who was about to propose a toast, was overtaken by someone, and his face darkened. But when he heard that the other party also wanted to propose a toast, it was like the clouds were cleared, and all the gloomy expression faded away.
After all, it was just a toast, anyone could come, so if something happened later, it would have nothing to do with him.
Zhao Jin raised his eyes, his starry eyes met the little official, but found that the other person was obviously nervous.
The hand holding the wine glass couldn't help but tighten. Zhao Jin looked away, glanced at the wine glass in his hand, and then raised the hand holding the wine glass.
However, the next sentence of the junior official was not to propose a toast, but said: "However, I heard that the Duke was injured while hunting the white tiger, so it is best not to drink."
"The prince can have tea instead of wine." The junior official deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the last word.
The situation was urgent, and he only found out about Wang Xikang's plan by accident, so he had no way of reminding him privately.
Now I just hope that the Duke of Guo can understand his hint and not drink the wine in the jug.
There is an exquisite wine jug in front of everyone's desk, and everyone can pour wine from the wine jug.
After the little official finished speaking, many people's faces changed in vain!
Zhao Jin originally had doubts about the wine in his hand because of the words of the junior official.
At first, he thought that the other party was from Wang Xikang's group and wanted him to drink the wine, but because of the nervous look on the other party's face, he guessed that there was something wrong with the drink.
Now it seems that there is indeed something wrong with the wine in his hand, but the person just wanted to remind him.
The expression on Zhao Jin's face softened a lot and he smiled, "Thank you for your concern. What this gentleman said is reasonable. From now on, I will have tea instead of bar."
The junior official then breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Xikang's expression changed several times. He lowered his head slightly and said to the attendant: "Why don't you quickly change the wine on the Duke's table into tea?"
The attendant woke up from the unexpected incident and quickly agreed and then went down to bring a pot of tea.
Zhao Jin laughed and said, "No need to go to such trouble."
The attendant paused and looked at Wang Xikang.
"Bai Wu, just go down and get it, don't bother anyone else." Zhao Jin turned his head slightly and said to Bai Wu.
"yes."
Wang Xikang could hardly maintain his stiff smile.
