In the hall of General Xuanwu's mansion, several maids stood with their hands hanging down. A large banquet table was placed in the middle. Galdan and Aqi sat opposite each other.
Galdan picked up the jug and poured a glass of wine for Aqi, then poured another glass for himself, raised the glass and said, "Miss Aqi, what happened last night was my fault. I specially invited most of the best tonight."
My cook, I will make you a table of delicious dishes to apologize. Please forgive me this time. I promise I will not do it again in the future."
Aqi glanced at the wine glass on the table, did not move, and said, "Geldan, I know that you have prejudices against Han people, and I also know that this cannot be changed overnight, so I didn't take what happened last night to heart.
, and I did something wrong last night, so I won’t have to apologize.”
"No," Galdan shook his head resolutely, "It was my fault last night. I personally promised you that I would never discriminate against Han people again, but I have repeatedly broken my promise. It is my fault. Please forgive me.
"
Seeing his persistence, Aqi could only smile and said, "Okay, I'll forgive you, but you know I won't drink."
It's not that she doesn't know how to drink, it's just that she won't drink in front of unfamiliar people. She is obviously wary of Galdan, so naturally she won't drink the wine he prepared.
Galdan had expected this, but still insisted, "Aqi, if you don't drink, I will always feel guilty."
"This..." Aqi looked hesitant.
Galdan continued, "Aqi, just for once, okay? By the way, haven't you always wanted to know where the Han Chinese who came with you are? I've already found out."
As soon as these words came out, Aqi's face was shocked, "Where are they?"
Galdan smiled and said, "I'll tell you after you drink this glass of wine."
Aqi had doubts in her heart, but the "several Han people" mentioned by Galdan poked her weakness. She glanced at the maids around her and thought that with so many people here, there shouldn't be any problem. She immediately raised her glass.
"To show my sincerity, I will make an exception, but I am not a good drinker. If I get drunk, please don't laugh at me."
Galdan looked slightly happy, "No, it's too late for me to be happy, so how could I laugh at you? Come on, let me toast you."
"Thank you, I respect you too."
After Aqi drank a glass of wine, her pretty face instantly turned a thin layer of red. She said a little embarrassedly, "It's so spicy. What kind of wine is this?"
Galdan didn't answer, so Aqi looked up and found that he was staring at her face without blinking, with extremely intense eyes.
A trace of disgust flashed through Aqi's eyes, but a sweet smile appeared on her face, "What's wrong? There are flowers on my face?"
"There are no flowers, but they are more beautiful than flowers." Galdan came back to his senses, said a few words, and then explained, "This is Guyuelou's wine. It is stronger than the wine on our grassland. I heard that even the Great Khan
Everybody likes to drink.”
Aqi said, "It's indeed very strong. Now that I listened to you and drank, can you tell me where my companions are?"
Galdan chuckled and said, "Don't be in a hurry. Eat some food first. You'll get drunk. If you don't eat some food, you'll get drunk easily."
Aqi was secretly angry, but helpless, "Okay."
At this moment, a voice sounded, "Such a strong wine and such delicious food, how can we do it without guests?"
After the words fell, there was another person in the hall, elegant and handsome, who could it be if it wasn't Murong Fu.
This guy had been outside the hall a long time ago, but when he saw Galdan forcing Aqi to drink, he stopped for a moment and did not show up immediately. He did not come in until Aqi drank the wine. Don't ask him why he did this. He is used to it.
.
The appearance of Murong Fu shocked all the maids, but they did not act rashly. Aqi was more angry. Seeing that Galdan was about to reveal the whereabouts of his companions, this man came out to disrupt the situation again.
Galdan stood up quickly and pointed at Murong Fu tremblingly, "You...you..."
"Don't be nervous," Murong Fu chuckled and waved his hand, "I was just passing by here. I heard that you invited the best cooks in most of the provinces, so I came here specially to have a meal. Prince Galdan wouldn't be so stingy, right?
"
"Of course not." A trace of disbelief flashed across Galdan's face when he heard this, but this person was so elusive that he really felt unsure. He was talking while winking at a maid.
The maid was about to quietly exit the hall when Murong Fu said calmly, "Don't bother me. If I remember correctly, it seems that all your people have gone out to look for me. They won't be able to come back for a while."
As he spoke, he gently flicked his sleeves and robe, and several bursts of energy shot out, making all the maids and servants unable to move.
Galdan's face darkened, "Murong Fu, what do you want?"
Murong Fu spread his hands, "I told you, let's have some food, what's wrong? Didn't you just say you won't be stingy?"
"I..." Galdan was furious. If it was really just for free food, he certainly wouldn't be stingy. But this person is his number one enemy now, would he be here for free food?
Murong Fu walked to Aqi and sat down next to him. He stretched out his hand and the wine bottle flew over. He put it to the spout and smelled it. He looked at Galdan with a half-smile and said, "Good stuff.
It’s good stuff, but it’s a pity that I can’t drink it.”
Seeing this scene, Aqi felt a chill in her heart for no reason. Could it be that Galdan added something in it?
She had this thought all her life, and after thinking about it carefully, she could no longer calm down. She stood up in a hurry and said, "You guys have something to talk about, so I'll get out of the way first."
"Sit down!" Murong Fu and Galdan said at the same time. Aqi was startled and subconsciously sat back down.
Galdan's face looked a little unnatural, but Murong Fu said in a friendly manner, "Miss Aqi, don't leave in a hurry. I am not very familiar with this Prince Galdan. Having you as my companion will save you a lot of embarrassment, don't you think so?"
The last words were spoken to Galdan.
Galdan nodded, sat down slowly, and rolled his eyes around, but at this moment, no matter how powerful he was, with thousands of troops at his disposal, he really couldn't think of any good solution.
Since he decided to deal with Murong Fu, he investigated a lot of information about Murong Fu, not to mention other things. The unpredictable martial arts alone made him feel numb and he did not dare to act rashly.
But what made him feel a little more at ease was that Murong Fu quickly picked up his chopsticks and started eating with relish, as if he was really here to eat.
"Eat, why don't you eat?" Murong Fu greeted the two of them while eating.
Galdan forced a smile and had no choice but to use his chopsticks, but no matter how he looked at it, he looked like he was chewing the beans.
And Aqi was also on pins and needles. She didn't know whether it was a psychological effect or whether there was something in the glass of wine she just drank. After a short while, she felt that her body was extremely hot. Her eyes towards Murong Fu also changed, and she couldn't help herself.
I thought: If I have to choose one, I will definitely choose a man like this. Oh my, what am I thinking? I’m really not ashamed...
