At the end of the banquet, some people were happy and some were sad.
Zhang Sanfeng declined the invitation from Lin Jingyun and others to have a gathering at Wangjiang Art Hall and returned directly to the inn.
He wanted to tell his brother Zhang Yifeng everything that happened at the banquet.
Duan Wenjun is a man of true talent and practical knowledge, full of poetry and prose.
If I want to argue with him tonight, I am simply asking for humiliation.
No, when I think about it carefully, I don't seem to be arguing with him at all.
From the very beginning, from the moment Mr. Qin's stunning female disciple appeared, Duan Wenjun seemed to be the focus of the audience.
A banquet has almost become Duan Wenjun’s exclusive event.
The long-awaited female disciple of Mr. Qin turned out to be Duan Wenjun's old friend.
She played a piece of heavenly music, but the lyrics were written by Duan Wenjun.
An old scholar from Sihai College questioned Jiang Shuying's identity, but was slapped in the face by him. He also used the lotus flower as a metaphor for Jiang Shuying's aristocracy, purity and self-love...
Chai Jingyun said that he should make friends through literature, but after just one glass of wine, Duan Wenjun composed a song "Butterfly Loves Flowers", which amazed everyone and no one dared to recite a poem.
The mysterious lady asked them to make a couplet for Wangjiang Tower and hang it on the pillar.
This couplet has been studied by Wangjiang talents for more than ten years, but no one has come up with anything.
This couplet has been studied by countless great scholars for more than ten years, but there has been no good work.
In Zhang Sanfeng's mind, he almost believed that it would be difficult to find a way out.
But Duan Wenjun just walked from one end of the private room to the other, looked out the window, and then wrote down the words "A Shocking Couple, Shocking Everyone".
How could he compare to this monster-like talent and talent?
Seeing Zhang Sanfeng's decadent look and listening to his ramble, Zhang Yifeng's brows suddenly furrowed. He turned to look at Lu Ping'an beside him: "Mr. Lu, what do you think?"
"It seems that the lady the third young master mentioned must be the one from the palace." Lu Ping'an thought for a moment before saying slowly.
"From the palace?" Zhang Sanfeng was shocked when he heard this.
It suddenly occurred to him that at the end of the banquet, Chai Jingyun invited Duan Wenjun to stay and said the word "aunt".
Isn't that the aunt of the second young master of Prince Rui's residence?
Just when Zhang Sanfeng was surprised, Lu Ping'an's voice sounded again, "Since everyone in the palace is here, I think it's better for us to return to Lingxiao City as soon as possible. In troubled times, it is better to have more things to worry about than less things to do."
"Aren't you going to investigate the matter on Moon Island?" Zhang Yifeng was hesitant.
"Young Master, Moon Island is just a skin disease, not worth mentioning." A faint smile appeared on Lu Ping'an's face. "Moon Island sent thirteen people, but I heard that there were only ten people on the official road this morning." Two corpses.”
"Could it be that the sword is already rusty?" Zhang Yifeng was stunned when he heard this. "Even the thieves on Moon Island can slip through the net?"
Lu Ping'an shook his head gently, "It's not that the sword was rusty and something slipped through the net, but that he did it on purpose."
"Did you do it on purpose?" Zhang Yifeng had a look of surprise on his face. "It seems like we really don't need to get involved in this Moon Island matter."
After saying that, Zhang Yifeng looked at Zhang Sanfeng again, "Third brother, I think you should go back to Shangliang early tomorrow morning. There are many things in the official department, so you might as well help father when you go back."
Zhang Sanfeng's face looked very serious, he nodded slightly, and then continued for a long time, "Brother, when will you return to Shangliang? Father misses you!"
There was a trace of embarrassment on Zhang Yifeng's face, and he frowned. "Third brother, please help take care of father! Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, please tell father that Yifeng is unfilial and cannot stay by his side. But when things in the south come to an end, , I will go back to visit his old man immediately."
Zhang Sanfeng didn't speak anymore, just sighed and nodded again.
Just when the Zhang brothers were looking sad, the Li brothers on Moon Island were also looking sad.
"Xiaowu, you said you were let back?" After listening to Zhao Xiaowu's story about last night's ambush, Zhao Dachui was so shocked that his mouth was almost full of duck eggs.
"Brother, can I lie to you about this?" Zhao Xiaowu was still frightened. "When we saw the carriage appearing, we surrounded it. The man driving the carriage heard that we were from Moon Island, so he took the lead."
Having said this, Zhao Xiaowu lowered his head and looked at his right hand, which was bandaged like a rice dumpling. "Twelve brothers, they all lost their lives before they even had time to pull out their swords. When I reacted, my hand was also injured by him." "
There didn't seem to be much resentment in Zhao Xiaowu's eyes.
What's more, is deep fear.
That young man and the sword in his hand were too fast.
Up until this moment, there was still a shadow in his heart.
"Why should I let you back?" Zhao Dachui seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to be asking Zhao Xiaowu.
He knew that Zhao Xiaowu definitely did not lie.
Those twelve people all crawled out from the pile of dead people with him.
Their martial arts skills are definitely no worse than Zhao Xiaowu's.
Even the twelve brothers didn't have time to draw their swords, so there was absolutely no chance that Zhao Xiaowu could escape by himself.
"By the way, before leaving, someone in the carriage said, 'Come back and tell your brother Zhao Dachui that the people he relies on are unreliable.'" Zhao Xiaowu suddenly understood and turned to stare at Zhao Dachui and replied.
"Can the person you rely on be unreliable?" Zhao Dachui looked at the rolling river in front of him and fell into deep thought. "He still knows that I am your brother?"
"Brother, I am not good at studying and I have embarrassed you." Zhao Xiaowu felt very ashamed and continued.
"That's not right!" Suddenly, Zhao Dachui's expression changed drastically, and he suddenly turned his head and stared at Zhao Xiaowu, "Xiaowu, did anyone see you when you came back?"
Zhao Xiaowu was stunned. "I was injured. I was afraid of embarrassing you. I came back from a secret passage. Only the few people who punted the boat knew."
"You leave immediately and take twelve brothers with you to Duanjiabao." Zhao Dachui's face became extremely serious.
"Ah?" Zhao Xiaowu was shocked when he heard this, and then continued, "Okay, brother, I won't miss this time and I will definitely kill Duan Wenjun."
"No!" Zhao Dachui shook his head. "You go to the Zhou family in Duanjiabao. Our people will settle you there. Then you can live there, recover well, and help the Duan family farm!"
"Ah? Helping the Duan family farm the land?" Zhao Xiaowu was shocked when he heard this. "Brother, you want me to farm the Duan family's land?"
"Yes, if there is a new order, I will send someone to give it to you." Zhao Dachui took out a jade pendant from his pocket, broke it into two pieces, and handed half over. "Remember, I must bring my half of the jade pendant to you." , otherwise no one will believe it.”
"Brother, I..." Zhao Xiaowu took the jade pendant doubtfully and immediately felt the seriousness of the matter.
"Xiaowu, listen carefully, no matter what happens on Moon Island, you are not allowed to come back without my order." Zhao Dachui's expression became more solemn. "The matter is urgent, you should set off now, or leave through the secret passage."
Although Zhao Xiaowu had thousands of questions in his mind, he did not ask them out in the end. Under Zhao Dachui's arrangement, he left directly.
As soon as Zhao Xiaowu left with his people, Zhao Dachui called all the guards of the secret passage to the stone room next to him.
Screams rang out and blood splattered.
Looking at the corpses on the ground, Zhao Dachui let out a long sigh, "Xiaowu, if you lose because of your brother, you can just be a farmer in Duanjiabao for the rest of your life! Maybe, that's not bad..."
