At this time, the Zhongjing Marquis Mansion was extremely lively.
Some people left after giving gifts, and most of those who stayed had a closer relationship with the Cao family.
There were dandy sons such as Pang Yu and Pan Bao, as well as officials from Pang Taishi's line such as Zhang Dun.
There are also Di Qing, Yang Zhi and other military generals who have received Cao Bin's favor and protection, and there are all kinds of them, no less than a hundred of them.
The purpose of this promotion banquet is to connect and deepen relationships.
This is true for them, and it is also true for Cao Bin.
On the stage, great operas were being sung and people were drinking and drinking. It was a lively time.
The guard suddenly shouted: "Young master, I have come here to plead guilty!"
"kindness?"
Cao Bin was stunned for a moment and smiled:
"Have you hit a wall? But asking for forgiveness...isn't it a bit of a fuss?"
Pang Yu laughed and said:
"I asked him why as soon as he arrived in Bianjing, he gave me gifts and wanted to pay a visit to my father."
"Later I found out that it was because people looked down on you, Cao Juncai, haha..."
"This time you are so embarrassed!"
Seeing that Cao Bin didn't show anything strange, everyone burst into laughter and started making jokes.
Yang Zhi, who was sitting in the corner, slammed the table, suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist, and shouted angrily:
"Why are you laughing? If you dare to look down on my uncle, I will kill them and vent my anger on my uncle's behalf."
When Lin Chong next to him saw this, he immediately reacted. He quickly rolled up his arms and sleeves, and was about to rush out with Yang Zhi.
It's just that Yang Zhi's eyes were bloodshot and his face was full of evil spirits, as if he really wanted to kill someone, which scared the people at the table.
The laughter in the courtyard suddenly stopped, and Pang Yu and others were also stunned.
But just kidding, is this guy actually going to kill someone? Where did he get the stupid green and the black killer star?
But then, they became envious of Cao Bin. This kind of person is a die-hard fan!
The ancient dead warriors were nothing more than this...
In fact, they just don't understand Yang Zhi's experience and his darkened character.
Cao Bin waved his hands speechlessly and said: "Okay, don't act recklessly, I have my own arrangements."
With that said, he ordered the boy: "Go and ask them to come in!"
At this time, Pang Yu had already explained to Pan Bao and others:
"These Xixia barbarians want to imitate the generals of the She family and control the state capital. These days, they are constantly bumping into each other in the capital."
"You must have heard of this, right?"
Pan Bao said disdainfully:
"You don't even know what kind of person you are? You actually think that this can be solved by giving tens of thousands of silver? This is so ridiculous to me!"
After hearing their conversation, the others understood what was going on and laughed.
At this time, Uncle Fu walked in with a few bald Xixia men. The leader was none other than the leader of the Wuyi tribe, Wuyi Jishan.
I saw him with his chest exposed and a few thorns carried on his back.
Seeing everyone in the yard looking at him with joking eyes, Jiashan's face turned red without moving.
He bravely came to Cao Bin and suddenly fell to his knees:
"Uncle Cao, I am guilty of not moving the mountain, and I am here to apologize to you!"
Cao Bin was confused by such a humble move by Wu Yijishan. Logically speaking, even if the court did not give him enough preferential treatment, he should not be so humble.
But he was too lazy to think about it, waved his hand and asked deliberately:
"Why didn't you move the clan leader? The imperial court must have given you a high-ranking official title and a generous salary. Cao cannot afford such a great gift from you!"
Wu Yijieshan lowered his head deeply and said:
"Please Uncle Cao, please save my family. My family is willing to be a slave and a maid, and I will be loyal to Uncle Cao from generation to generation!"
At this time, he was extremely depressed. He didn't expect that he would end up in this situation.
They became traitors to Xixia and were targeted by the powerful officials of the Song Dynasty. Now they were in a dilemma.
Seeing him like this, Cao Bin became confused: "Didn't the imperial court arrange for you?"
Wuyi Jieshan said bitterly: "I'm afraid we won't be able to wait for the imperial court's arrangements..."
After he finished speaking, Cao Bin understood.
It turns out that these days, Wu Yijia has been looking around for help, but not a word of sincerity has been found.
It was also because of the more than a thousand Xixia horses and Buyi Xi Meng that they attracted the covetous attention of Prince Duan's Mansion.
Prince Duan's Mansion not only asked them to hand over their horses and beauties, but also seemed to want to kill them all.
The chief historian of the palace mobilized many officials to surround them on the pretext of losing the treasure. Now Chen Qiaoyi is still in a state of confusion.
They spent a lot of effort to escape and asked Cao Bin for help.
"It shouldn't be!"
Hearing this, Cao Bin was a little confused. When he was about to ask for details, Pang Yu laughed:
"Based on my experience, Prince Duan didn't even know that such a thing was happening. I'm afraid it was the long history of Prince Duan's palace who made his own decisions and wanted to gain benefits by pretending to be powerful."
Pan Bao nodded and said:
"That's right. I have the most experience in this kind of thing."
"Anyway, you are Xixia traitors, and no one will make the decision for you. When the time comes...hey, no one will notice!"
They are all playboys, and they usually like to play some tricks of pretending to be powerful. They can see this kind of trick at a glance.
When Bu Yijishan heard this, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat. For a moment, he actually believed what Ximen Changshi said.
He even wanted to send Wu Yixi Meng to King Duan through him.
If he really did that, not only would he lose all his talent, but he would also end up being exterminated.
However, even the long history of Prince Duan's Mansion was not something they could afford to offend. If they resisted, they would definitely be regarded as treasonous by the Song Dynasty and ordered to be surrounded and killed.
Now they were in a dilemma and had no way to fight against Ximen Changshi.
Before they came to Song Dynasty, what they feared most was this situation!
Just when Cao Bin was considering whether to intervene in this matter, Uncle Fu suddenly walked in in a hurry and said:
"Master, Shi Ximenqing, the new head of Prince Duan's Mansion, is here to visit!"
"Ximen Qing?"
Hearing this name, Cao Bin almost didn't react.
Unexpectedly, after writing the book "Jin Ping Mei", I would have the opportunity to hear the name Ximen Qing, and he would also seek refuge with Duan Wang Zhao Ji.
However, when it comes to the personalities of these two people, they actually match up a bit.
Not long after, a white-faced man in his thirties swaggered into the Zhongjing Marquis Mansion.
He cupped his hands slightly and asked:
"Who is Uncle Zhongjing? I am the adopted son of Grand Tutor Cai Jing and the new Chief Historian of Prince Duan's Palace."
"These Xixia barbarians have stolen the treasures of the palace, please Uncle Zhongjing, please hand them over!"
As he spoke, he looked at the people present with a sinister look in his eyes.
Everyone looked at him like a fool, and no one said anything.
At this moment, a basin of hot soup was suddenly thrown at his face, cursing:
"How dare you be so arrogant in front of this man..."
