There were only four white porcelain plates placed in the middle of the huge round table. Each plate had a red background wiped with blood. Some of the backgrounds had dried up, giving the unique bloody texture of blood stains.
In the middle of the four plates, there is a vegetable and fruit on each plate.
From right to left are red dates, snowflake pears, ginger cubes, and mustard greens. The red dates should be tribute treasures, almost as big as apricots;
The snow pear is round and plump, with thin skin and thick flesh, and the dried blood brings out a strange beauty;
The ginger pieces are very fresh and even have some dirt on them;
Only the mustard greens were half dry, with yellowed green leaves, lying listlessly on the plate.
Seeing this banquet, Yin Qianhua's face immediately darkened.
Huangfu's brows also wrinkled.
King Lu’s temptation should not be too obvious.
The food on the four blood plates is read together, which means "leave the border early".
Judging from the meaning of the word, King Lu seemed to be advising them to leave the border and leave early.
In fact, ever since her husband, Yin Qianhua, agreed to suspend the bandit suppression operations and entered Yanzhou Mansion alone, his life was entirely in the hands of King Lu.
Would King Lu be so kind as to let them leave the border?
Or it could be that the deception she and her brother Qianhua had used before was still working, making King Lu feel that her brother Qianhua was just a man who was greedy for life and afraid of death.
As long as Qianhua's brother abandoned his army and fled, he would naturally not take the initiative to return to the court to explain King Lu's rebellion.
After all, Brother Qianhua sent troops this time in the name of annihilating the Dongshan bandits in Teng County, not to suppress the rebels.
One of the main reasons for this is that King Lu bribed almost all the powerful executives in the court. Even the emperor himself had a very good impression of King Lu. He never thought that an idle prince like King Lu could rebel. .
From this point of view, as long as they don't fight her brother Qianhua and make it known to the whole world, the Ludi rebels can buy as much preparation time as possible.
Huangfu Lianyi and Yin Qianhua looked at each other unconsciously, and both of them saw the same suspicion as themselves in the other's eyes.
So facing such an unusually bloody banquet, both of them stopped and stared coldly ahead, unwilling to let go easily.
Suddenly, I heard a familiar little voice coming from the front.
Yin Qianhua and his wife looked up and saw four female waiters, each carrying a food box, walking from the opposite side. The last one following them was none other than King Lu.
"Yin Tuiguan..." King Lu shouted loudly, but he changed the title as if he felt something was wrong, "Oh, now he is no longer Yin Tuiguan, but now he is the top position in the state government's Yamen, Yin The prefect is here! Congratulations, I will take the lead in congratulating Master Yin."
As he spoke, he waved his hands towards the two of them and said, "Hurry up and invite the prefect of Yin to join the play, and the prefect's wife to take the seat!"
But when King Lu sat down first, Yin Qianhua and his wife still didn't move.
King Lu's face suddenly darkened, and his eyes towards the two of them became evil, "What? You have just been promoted, and you can't see me anymore?"
Huangfu Lianyi laughed and took a step forward and said: "These four fruits happen to be the favorites of our husband and wife, but King Lu's banquet is stained with blood, no matter how sweet the fruit is, no matter how strong it is. Even the seasoning has lost its flavor.
Ruining hair and drinking blood is not what a gentleman does."
