At night in Liujing City, the mansion of an executive somewhere in the palace capital was brightly lit, and a small celebration banquet attended by only a dozen military attachés from the Great Zhou Dynasty was in progress.
At the banquet, people were drinking wine. Ye Mingsheng, who smelled of alcohol and had a slightly red face, stood up unsteadily from his seat and walked to the middle of the banquet. He picked up his wine glass and looked at Yuan Hui, who was sitting at the main seat. He looked very sincere. said:
"The kindness I showed you by rushing to the aid of the general is worth it. I will die without a tooth in my humble position. I will repay it with a ring of grass and a ring in the future. I give you a toast to the general!"
After speaking, Ye Mingsheng didn't hesitate at all. He raised his neck and put a large bowl of wine in his hand into his mouth.
"General Ye is a good drinker!"
Seeing Ye Mingsheng being so heroic, the drunken imperial military attachés at the banquet all cheered loudly.
Xiang Yuanhui, who was the protagonist at the banquet, also took advantage of Ye Mingsheng's method. He laughed and did the same. With a bowl of wine in his hand, he said with a smile:
"I am serving in the Forbidden Army and serving the Chief Assistant, Tongqi Lianzhi. Such trivial matters are of no importance. Ming Sheng does not need to take it to heart!"
After complimenting Xiang Yuanhui a few more times, and then drinking a few bowls with Xiang Yuanhui's subordinates, Ye Mingsheng drank two jars of wine. Then he couldn't hold on and fell down completely. Seeing him like this , while everyone was laughing, they also found Ye Tie and asked him to help Ye Mingsheng back to rest.
At this time, no one noticed that in an inconspicuous corner at the end of the banquet, a silent figure looked sinisterly at Ye Mingsheng who was being helped out.
················
················
Ye Mingsheng, who was drunk and unconscious, was helped back to the military tent by Ye Tie and others, and lay on the bed alone. However, not long after Ye Tie and others left, a graceful figure quietly slipped away. Entered Ye Mingsheng's tent.
Feeling the arrival of Pei Zhixiu, Ye Mingsheng, who was on the bed smelling of alcohol, suddenly opened his eyes. However, what was surprising was that there was no dullness after drinking in his eyes at this time, and his whole person was full of energy. He stood up from the bed as soon as he hit the ground.
"Thank you very much!"
Looking at Pei Zhixiu, who was dressed in plain clothes and had a plain expression, Ye Mingsheng cupped his hands and said sincerely:
Xiang Yuanhui led his troops to Liujing after wiping out the palace troops outside the city today. Regardless of the rules or etiquette, Ye Mingsheng, as the guard general, should hold a banquet to celebrate his success and thank him for his help.
Since it was a celebration banquet, when a group of wealthy military attachés from the Zhou Dynasty gathered together, they were bound to drink.
If it were normal times, it would be okay to say that Ye Mingsheng could lie under the table if it didn't work, but now is different from the past. Now Ye Mingsheng is suffering from diseases and drinks the traditional Chinese medicine prepared by Pei Zhixiu for him every day. The most taboo thing is drinking.
Xiang Yuanhui is one of the most powerful generals in the Forbidden Army. He is famous for his great achievements and good face. Even if Ye Mingsheng confesses his difficulties frankly, he will not understand. Even for the sake of face, he will not understand. You may even get more serious and force yourself to drink.
If Ye Mingsheng doesn't drink, he will definitely offend this person. Although the Xuanwu Army and the Cavalry Army are not the same system, Xiang Yuanhui is a fifth-grade Yingyang General, four levels higher than Ye Mingsheng, so he will be offended by this matter. It's really not a wise move for him...
Just when Ye Mingsheng was at a loss, Pei Zhixiu, who learned about Ye Mingsheng's difficulties from Ye Tie, took the initiative to find Ye Mingsheng and gave Ye Mingsheng two jars of the potion she prepared.
This potion is very magical. Both in color and smell, it is very similar to liquor. However, it has no alcoholic taste at all and even has a slight sweetness. Drinking this potion will not affect Ye Mingsheng's medication.
It was precisely because of this potion that looked like wine but not wine that Ye Mingsheng had the courage to drink Haiyin in front of Xiang Yuanhui and the military attachés. Otherwise, Ye Mingsheng might have fainted from the pain after just one glass of wine. .
In response to Ye Mingsheng's thanks, Pei Zhixiu just nodded slightly, then gently placed her jade hand on Ye Mingsheng's wrist and examined his body.
Quietly looking at Pei Zhixiu's serious look while checking his pulse, Ye Mingsheng felt a warm current in his heart. Although he didn't know why this woman suddenly became so cold to him, it was obvious that she still cared about him.
After a while, Pei Zhixiu nodded, put down Ye Mingsheng's somewhat rough hand, and then whispered softly: "Take medicine on time, pay attention to rest! Don't drink alcohol, eat less greasy food..."
While Pei Zhixiu was talking, Ye Mingsheng suddenly felt that the sound of wind blowing outside the camp seemed to be mixed with a sound of unfamiliar footsteps. The footsteps were so light that if you didn't pay attention, you wouldn't hear them at all.
Ye Mingsheng, who discovered the abnormality, immediately became very nervous. Without any hesitation, he grabbed the wild goose wing knife beside him, then stretched out his hand to pull Pei Zhixiu, who was still about to speak, behind him, and looked out of the tent warily.
His camp is located in the central area of Liujing Military Camp. To get here, you need to pass through three levels of sentries. Therefore, except for generals such as Chen Yannian, Liu Shilin, and Lin Huaiwu, there are usually only five soldiers around his camp. .
Ye Mingsheng was, without exception, very familiar with the footsteps of these people.
However, at this time, the sound of footsteps came from outside the tent, and Ye Mingsheng felt that it was extremely strange.
The most important thing is that the people outside the tent have already come here, but Yang Biao, the soldier responsible for the night watch tonight, still hasn’t come to pass the news. What this means is self-evident... ··
Nestling against Ye Mingsheng's body, Pei Zhixiu was a little surprised by Ye Mingsheng's actions.
But being smart as ice and snow, she quickly realized the danger outside the camp. Although she looked a little panicked, feeling the breath of Ye Mingsheng, she quickly calmed down and took out the dagger she had prepared from her arms. Be cautious and alert.
Just when Ye Mingsheng felt that the opponent was getting closer and closer and might rush into his tent at any time, suddenly the footsteps outside the tent suddenly stopped and was replaced by the sound of a fight.
Just when Ye Mingsheng was looking happy thinking that Ye Tie and others had arrived, he remembered Ye Tie's stern questions outside the tent.
"Who are you?"
With the loud shouting, Ye Mingsheng could feel the familiar footsteps of Ye Dong, Ye Kui and others approaching him quickly.
Although there were some doubts, Ye Tie and the others had just arrived, so why did the sound of fighting outside the camp come from just now.
However, Ye Mingsheng didn't have time to think too much at this time. He was still highly focused and prepared to kill every enemy that broke in.
(I wish everyone a happy Lantern Festival, good health, and all the best in the new year! Hair! Hair!)
