Yunjing came to the palace as scheduled to attend the celebration banquet. On the way to the main hall, someone called out to him. He followed the sound and saw that it was Princess Xiyue and her maid Lan'er, and it was Lan'er who made the sound. In the blink of an eye, Princess Xiyue walked up to Yunjing.
"I have finally met the princess." Yunjing saluted respectfully.
"This is the first time since childhood that my father has not followed the wishes of this princess. What ability do you have that can make my father value you so much?" Princess Xiyue looked at Yun Jing, a little curious and a little angry.
"The last general is just mediocre. It is because the king is kind and treats his subordinates well." Yun Jing replied calmly.
"I think you are just mediocre. If your father doesn't kill you, I will not let you go. I order you to kneel here. You are not allowed to get up without my order." Princess Xiyue ordered angrily. road.
"General, I will obey." Yunjing knelt down without any hesitation. Before, outside the palace, it was for the safety of Princess Xiyue that Yunjing used extraordinary means. Now in the palace, one cannot be disobedient. After all, the majesty of the royal family cannot be violated.
"I thought you would resist, but I didn't expect you to be no different from those people. This is just the beginning. The grievances I have suffered will be repaid little by little." Princess Xiyue looked down upon Yun with a victor's attitude. scene. Seeing that Yun Jing did not refute, Princess Xiyue left happily.
When you came to the main hall, you sat down on the main seat. The ministers immediately stood up and saluted the king. After saluting, everyone sat down again.
"The battle in Southern Xinjiang lasted four years. The soldiers sacrificed their lives and finally won a complete victory. The king of Southern Xinjiang sent his credentials the day before yesterday, willing to surrender permanently. From then on, there will be no more wars in Southern Xinjiang, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment and enjoy peace." Your Majesty announced happily.
"Your Majesty is wise." All the ministers stood up and saluted.
"Only when soldiers work hard can we achieve a complete victory. All the beloved ministers raise their glasses to General Yunjing, the great contributor to this victory." Your Majesty raised your wine glass and glanced at the ministers below, but you didn't see Yunjing. figure. The ministers were also looking for Yunjing. Although they didn't know Yunjing, they heard that Yunjing was always wearing a mask, which should be very conspicuous, but they couldn't see it after looking around. The ministers did not see Yun Jing, and they were all whispering among themselves.
The king waved his hand, and the eunuch waiting at the side quickly exited the hall. Soon, the eunuch found Yunjing, who was forced to kneel by Princess Xiyue.
"General Yun, why are you kneeling here? Your Majesty and all the ministers are waiting for you in the palace. General Yun, follow Sajia into the palace quickly." The eunuch said and helped Yun Jing up.
"My lord, the general cannot get up without Princess Xiyue's order." The eunuch who was watching from the side stopped him.
"General Yun, wait a minute. I'll go back to Sa's house." Hearing that it was Princess Xiyue who asked her to kneel down, the eunuch stopped what he was doing and hurried towards the palace after saying that. He doesn't want to offend Princess Xiyue, so he'd better ask your Majesty to make a decision.
"Your Majesty, Princess Xiyue ordered General Yun to kneel not far outside the palace." The eunuch came to the Lord and whispered.
"I have told you to bring General Yun here." Your Majesty said in a low voice. Your Majesty was also a little angry at Princess Xiyue's behavior. How will people in the world view the royal family if they treat meritorious ministers like this?
The eunuch immediately ran out and brought Yunjing back.
"General Yunjing has seen your Majesty. I will be late, please punish me." After Yunjing entered the palace, he knelt down and saluted.
"Take a seat, this is a celebration banquet, no matter morning or evening." Your Majesty said.
"Thank you, sir." Yunjing stood up and followed the eunuch to his seat.
"Now that General Yunjing has arrived, please raise your glasses, dear friends." Your Majesty said, picking up the wine glass.
"General Jingyun." All the ministers said in unison.
"Thank you, sir, thank you all." Yunjing thanked him repeatedly.
Your Majesty stayed in the palace for about a quarter of an hour before getting up and leaving. After the king left, all the ministers came to Yunjing to drink. Everyone could see your Majesty's attitude towards Yun Jing just now. When your Majesty holds a banquet, every minister will arrive half an hour in advance. Yunjing was not only late, but also received no punishment at all. Your Majesty's love and care are already obvious. Everyone guessed that Yun Jing would be a new member of the imperial capital, and they all wanted to make friends with him.
Facing the toasts from all the ministers, Yunjing did not refuse anyone who came. We will work together from now on, so Yunjing naturally doesn't want to offend anyone. About an hour later, the king ordered someone to call Yunjing in front of him.
"The last general has seen your Majesty." Yunjing saluted respectfully.
"Get up. If Xiyue deliberately makes things difficult for you again in the future, you can ignore it. You can report to the Ministry of War tomorrow." The Lord said.
"I will obey your orders," Yunjing replied.
"Stand back." What your Majesty wants to say has been finished.
"I will leave at the end." After Yunjing exited, he walked directly towards the palace gate. Yunjing doesn't like the wine shop. Now that he's out, he won't go back.
As soon as Yun Jing left the palace gate, someone came to greet him.
"General Yun, my subordinate Zhao Tan admires General Yun very much and is waiting here specially." Zhao Tan stepped forward and announced his family name.
"Mr. Zhao is flattering me. I'm just a reckless man, and I don't deserve the admiration of Mr. Zhao." Yunjing replied immediately.
"General Yun is humble. I have also served in the army. I sincerely admire the general, rather than using polite words. I have no ill intentions. I just want to treat the general to a pot of tea. I wonder if the general can give me a favor?" Zhao Tan is sincere. said.
"That would be disrespectful." Yunjing did not refuse.
Two carriages, one behind the other, headed towards the tea house. When walking into an alley, a dozen men in black suddenly blocked the way. Zhao Tan and Yun Jing got off the carriage and did not take the dozen or so people in front of them seriously.
"Zhao Tan, the Marquis regards you as a brother and a relative, but you killed him. You are really a wolf with a human face and a beast's heart. Today is the day you die." The leader looked at Zhao Tan and cursed angrily.
"Who are you?" Zhao Tan asked after hearing what the other party said.
"The person who wants your life." More than a dozen people went to kill Zhao Tan at the same time.
In less than a quarter of an hour, more than a dozen men in black were knocked to the ground. Although they still have the strength to fight, they are obviously no match for Zhao Tan and Yun Jing.
"Let's go, the patrolling soldiers will be here soon." Zhao Tan said looking at the man in black.
"We will not let go of anyone who killed Mr. Hou. Today is the first time, and there will be a second and third time, until we kill you. Let's go." The leader put down his ruthless attitude. Then he left in a hurry.
"Make General Yun laugh." Zhao Tan said with a bitter smile after the man in black left.
"Why did Mr. Zhao let them go? Seeing how much they hate Mr. Zhao?" Yun Jing asked in confusion.
"Hey, it's hard to explain in one sentence. If I have a chance in the future, I'll talk to the general in detail. I'm really sorry that the general was innocently implicated." Zhao Tan felt very sorry.
"If you feel sorry for me, please invite me to have a drink." Yun Jing said with a smile.
"No problem, General, please." Zhao Tan readily agreed.
"Master Zhao, please." Yunjing replied.
The two found a restaurant, ordered a few simple dishes, ordered two bottles of wine and started drinking. The two chatted happily, and after finishing the wine, they met to drink together again.
