Many eunuchs came in to clear things up, and placed a long table in front of everyone in Xianyu Tie. They soon brought mouth-watering sumptuous dishes, as well as delicious wine that was fragrant and refreshing. Gu Shengchao couldn't hold himself back even while standing on the beam. He swallowed his saliva continuously. He tried his best to restrain himself, for fear that the people below would hear the noise.
Wen Zhe picked up the wine glass and said, "Let us help the warriors who have come from afar to wash away the dust."
Xian Yutie and others raised their glasses and were not in a hurry to drink. Instead, they all dipped their left ring fingers into some wine, flicked it upward three times, and then drank it all. He did not beat around the bush and asked directly: "Master Wen asked us to be our helpers. What benefit would it bring to us to destroy the Ninth Prince? I was entrusted by Shan Yu before I came here, and I can fully represent Shan Yu's wishes."
Wen Zhe seemed to have been prepared and said calmly: "Kill the Ninth Prince and give all the seventeen ridges on the dam to Beihu. Our Dawu Dynasty will not leave any ridges."
Xian Yutie said disdainfully: "The seventeen ridges on the dam are actually in our hands. It makes no difference whether we give them away or not."
Wen Zhe smiled and said: "The difference is huge, because in these Seventeen Ridges, the number of confrontations between you and me is still relatively small? Every year, we fight each other and the lives are devastated, so we have a good relationship with you. From now on, there will no longer be wars, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. Isn’t that a good thing?”
Xian Yutie put down his wine glass and stood up. His face was blue and he said, "Since Mr. Wen is not sincere, I'll take my leave." He handed over his hand and was about to leave.
Wen Zhe said calmly: "Everyone who has come from afar, I will do my best. If you are in a hurry, please talk to me. Business cannot be done with kindness and justice. Leaving after a disagreement is disrespectful." He waved his hand to Xian Yutie and said, "Sit down." Come on, drink, drink.”
After everyone drank for three rounds, Xian Yutie toasted Wen Zhe with a glass of wine and said: "I and other rough guys like to go straight, so I helped Mr. Wen kill the Ninth Prince, so I gave you Beiyuan County to us. We will give you our fullest help."
Wen Zhe was startled. The wine glass in his hand shook and spilled some wine. He wondered why: "Beiyuan County is my gateway to the north. I gave it to you. I can't explain it to the Holy One."
"Really?" Xian Yutie glanced at the Questioning Pavilion leisurely, looked up, down, left, and back and said, "With all due respect, this is the Questioning Pavilion. Logically speaking, the emperor should work here and handle government affairs. But now it is Lord Wen. Here, I just saw a lot of memorials, which seemed to have been reviewed by Master Wen. I am afraid that it is unprecedented for people to have a drink and talk happily in the Questioning Pavilion. Master Wen said that he could not explain it to the Holy One. I think the Holy One wanted to wait for Mr. Wen's explanation before he dared Just nod."
Wen Zhe was exposed, and he felt no shame. He raised his glass and said, "You are worthy of being the first warrior of Beihu. Wen admires him. I would like to show my respect by doing it first." After everyone had a drink, Wen Zhe said: "Beiyuan County is the frontier defense of our dynasty. Basically, how about this, Yezhou in the northwest of Beiyuan County is given to you?"
Xian Yutie was overjoyed and stepped forward to high-five Wen Zhe: "It's a deal!"
Wen Zhe also said happily: "It's a deal."
After having enough wine and food, Xian Yutie and others said goodbye and left. Many eunuchs came in to clean up and restored the Wenshi Pavilion to its original state.
Wen Zhe left two personal eunuchs to review the memorial together. He read it through first and gave instructions according to his own intention on the important ones. He left the unimportant ones to the two eunuchs.
It was late at night, and the three of them were already yawning after reviewing the memorial. A eunuch came in with a big silver plate in his hands and said cautiously: "Father, are you going to turn over the cards today?"
"Turn over." Wen Zhe became interested. There were many jade tablets arranged neatly on the silver plate. They were all facing down and looked exactly the same on the back. He casually reached for a jade tablet on the silver plate and said excitedly: "Let's see which concubine is sleeping tonight." He picked up a jade tablet and turned it over. It read: Chen Guiren.
The eunuch holding the silver plate said with a smile: "My father-in-law, please go back to your room to rest. I will ask Mr. Chen to dress up and come over to serve you."
Everyone left one after another, and the lights in the Questioning Pavilion were turned off and locked from the outside.
Gu Shengchao waited for them to go away, jumped down from the beam, waited patiently for a long time, and when he confirmed that no one was outside, he opened the window and jumped out quickly, then returned the window to its original position, and returned to the pond behind under the cover of night. Everything was quiet at this moment, and snoring could even be heard in several rooms. He quietly entered the water and returned to the water from the same route. After landing, he found some clothes and put them on. After walking a short distance, Fan Lixin waved to him from the corner.
"Success?" Fan Lixin asked quietly.
Gu Shengchao nodded.
Fan Lixin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "His Royal Highness is concerned about your safety and has ordered us all to hide around the palace and break in to meet you at any time."
Gu Shengchao was also grateful: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness, and thank you to Brother Fan and everyone for your concern. Finally, we are safe."
A vehicle had been prepared on the roadside, and they rushed all the way back to Gaosheng Inn. They entered through the secret passage and saw Prince Juncheng. He was worried about this and was waiting for Gu Shengchao to return safely. Gu Shengchao told him in detail what he saw and heard that night. The prince was sent to the palace.
After hearing about the dirty behavior of the Queen and Wen Zhe, the prince Juncheng was so angry that he cried out: "It is unbearable that the court in the bright world has become a dirty place harboring filth and people's evil."
Gu Shengchao suggested that he go to Xian Yutie tomorrow, saying that he wanted to make friends with martial arts and see Xian Yutie's strength.
Prince Juncheng pondered for a long time and agreed with Gu Shengchao's idea. He asked him to be careful not to show off his abilities, and also told him that in case Xianyu Tie asked him to be a guest, the key points of the conversation should be explained one by one. Gu Shengchao wrote it down. .
Fan Lixin asked, "What can I do? Do I need to accompany Brother Shengchao?"
"No need, you stay here to pay attention to all the news at any time and act according to the situation." Prince Juncheng ordered.
Fan Lixin felt bad: "His Highness will also personally take action tomorrow?"
Prince Juncheng nodded: "Wuwang Palace does not distinguish between right and wrong. I will meet with their leader in person tomorrow. Some things can only be explained clearly in person."
"I'll go with you!" Fan Lixin was worried.
Prince Junchen waved his hand and said: "This matter should not be made public. I am showing sincerity on my own. I don't believe that Prince Wu's palace is full of idle idiots."
Gu Shengchao and Fan Lixin walked out of the secret passage. Someone had already found out the inn where Xian Yutie was staying, and the exact location was marked on the map. When Gu Shengchao returned to Donglai Inn, Liu Ximei had already fallen asleep. He tiptoed over and lay down. Liu Ximei turned over and hugged him.
"You didn't sleep?" Gu Shengchao felt guilty for coming back late.
Liu Ximei hugged him tightly: "I can't sleep without you."
Gu Shengchao patted her hand and comforted her: "You, you can sleep when you need to sleep from now on. There is no need to hold on." After he finished speaking, Liu Ximei didn't reply. Looking carefully, Liu Ximei was like a docile kitten. Curled up in his arms and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Gu Shengchao spilled some wine on himself and came to the inn where Xian Yutie was staying, smelling of alcohol. He didn't know which guest room Xian Yutie was staying in, so he pretended to be drunk and shouted: " I heard that the best warrior from Beihu came to our Dawu Dynasty, who is it, who is it?" When he shouted, many spectators came out to watch. He pointed at someone randomly and said in a drunken manner: "Is it you? You It turns out that he is the number one warrior in Beihu. Let’s come down and challenge each other to see who is stronger.” Seeing the man turn around and leave, he said loudly: “Don’t run away. It turns out that the number one warrior is a tortoise who dares not see anyone. Ah." After saying that, he laughed wildly.
After Gu Shengchao made such a fuss, someone naturally informed Xian Yutie. He walked out of the guest room and went to the railing on the third floor to watch. Gu Shengchao recognized him at a glance and deliberately pointed randomly. Then he pretended to see him and pointed at Xianyu Railway: "What are you looking at? Are you the No. 1 warrior of Beihu? I don't see it, you look like What a fool." Gu Shengchao laughed wildly again.
Xian Yutie was angry and was about to jump down when he was stopped by the guard beside him, "Qianhu, don't worry, I will meet this person first."
"Well, brother Jian Mo, be careful." Xian Yutie warned.
Jian Mo jumped down and came to Gu Shengchao. Gu Shengchao staggered twice and stared at him with a smile: "After such a long time, you have become the best warrior of Beihu. Come, come, come, we will fight for three hundred rounds."
"I'm not. I'll teach you a lesson first for the First Warrior." Jian Mo punched him. When he saw the ancient sage dodging Zhenghe's intention, he turned around and kicked him. He was confident that this kick would knock the opponent down, because he once broke the waist of a hungry wolf with one kick, which was no problem for ordinary people. Jian Mo was extremely fast, but his kick failed. He was shocked and it was too late to retract his leg. Gu Shengchao grabbed his ankle and carried him into his arms. Jian Mo and Gu Shengchao were tightly pressed against each other.
"It stinks." Gu Shengchao pushed Jian Mo away and fanned him with his palm, looking disgusted.
Everyone watching the excitement burst into laughter, but Xian Yutie knew in his heart that this man who seemed crazy at the moment could not be more sane. Jian Mo's lower body skills are the most solid. Even if he stands on one leg, it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to shake him. This person's movements may seem inadvertent, but in fact he hides profound skills. Seeing Jian Mo's face turn red, Xian Yutie punched and prepared to pounce again. He jumped down lightly and stopped in front of Jian Mo.
"You are no match for him, let me do it." Xian Yutie stopped Jian Mo.
"Who are you? Why are you joining in the fun?" Gu Shengchao asked drunkenly.
Xian Yu Tie cupped his fists and said, "This brother, I am Xian Yu Tie. Please give me some advice."
"I don't know who Xian Yutie is. I want to compete with the best warrior of Beihu. You get out of the way." Gu Shengchao raised his hand to push Xian Yutie away.
Xian Yutie turned sideways and grabbed Gu Shengchao's arm and moved it to the side. Gu Shengchao pretended to be too drunk, ran forward a few steps and fell down. He struggled to stand up, patted the dirt off his body, and said in a daze. "Why did I fall?" He pointed at Xian Yutie and said with a smile, "It turns out to be you. Who are you? Tell me your name."
"I'm Xian Yu Tie." Xian Yu Tie was not annoyed, but still said politely.
Everyone was watching the commotion without knowing what was going on, but Xian Yutie understood that when he caught Gu Shengchao just now, he used his five successful powers. Ordinary people would have been thrown out of the wall long ago. Gu Shengchao saw his tricks and defused them inadvertently. In response to his attack, he pretended to stumble and fall a few times, which shows his great kung fu.
Gu Shengchao acted like a rogue and said with a faltering step: "I won't fight you, I want to find the best warrior in Beihu."
Xian Yutie saluted respectfully and said, "Thank you for your love and support from heroes from all walks of life. I am the one below."
"Oh, so it's you." Gu Shengchao cheered up and looked at Xian Yutie, and Xian Yutie also looked at Gu Shengchao. The two secretly weighed each other's strength.
