Once people's hearts wander, greed and ambition will urge them to take action.

Some young girls began to secretly plan, hoping to take advantage of this rare opportunity to become a rich man.

The timid and cautious ones sat there and watched the situation, wanting others to test and hit the wall first. When the situation became a little clearer, they would then use appropriate methods based on the response of the Song couple.

Those who are a little bolder will quietly approach Yu Yalan and try to establish some friendship with her. Then by communicating with her in the name of friends, won't they be able to increase their chances of meeting Marshal Song?

In addition to the above two types of people who are concerned about the reserve and dignity of their daughter's family, there is also a type of bold women with a relatively bold and bold style.

The folk customs in the northwest are fierce and daring. Compared with the women in the hinterland of the Central Plains, they are more courageous in pursuing love.

For a man as experienced as Marshal Song, whose daughter could resist his charm?

Liu Jing, who was wearing a rustling red dress, stood up and walked straight through the female guests area with a wine glass in hand. She didn't care about the surprised looks around her and just walked towards the male guests' banquet with her head held high.

"Liu Jing, a civilian girl, wishes to greet Marshal Song and congratulates the marshal on his victory and unification of the northwest! I heard that the Marshal is very good at martial arts, riding and shooting, and the civilian girl also knows something about it. I wonder if I can make an appointment with you to discuss it?"

Liu Jing stood in front of Song Xi with a smile on her face. Her beautiful face was full of confidence and arrogance, her eyes were blazing with obsession, and anyone could tell that her intentions were impure.

The male guests around them took a few steps back, looking forward to the scene of the beauty chasing the hero with teasing expressions. They all had some dark calculations in their hearts, wanting to see what kind of reaction Song Xi would make.

If the lord just smiled and accepted the beauty, then they could do the same thing and offer their daughters to compete for favor, and establish a strong relationship with the Song family through marriage.

As for the resolute Mrs. Song? Some high-ranking officials and military generals did not feel any fear.

Song Xi's status is not what it used to be. If he continues to conquer and expand, he will have a greater future. In the future, whether he is enclosing territory to become king or competing in the Central Plains, he will have more and more civil servants and generals under his command.

In order to consolidate their own power, local rulers in the past dynasties would mostly win over powerful subordinates through marriage. No leader can really stick to it, and it is impossible to manage such a large territory by working alone.

I heard that Mrs. Song is just an orphan girl in the country. The only person left in her family is Dr. Yu. She has no power and is not as reliable as the family. How much help can she bring to Song Xi in the future?

The local civil servants and military generals in Qinxi are all very aware of Yu Yalan's abilities, but the officials from other places have no idea of ​​the actual situation. Most of the people who specially bring their daughters here are from such families, just waiting to cling to the new master so that they can seek more opportunities for themselves.

Many benefits.

The male guest's seat at the head table suddenly fell silent for a moment, and everyone was waiting for the master's reaction with various thoughts.

Tan Ziqian and Xiong Jianlin, who were seated at the same table, both looked a bit ugly and were disgusted with the woman surnamed Liu who took the initiative to invite his favor.

However, they did not open their mouths to stop it. This kind of thing can be prevented now but not in the future. If Song Xi really had the idea of ​​taking a concubine, even if they scolded or dissuaded him, nothing would change.

The only thing that can be done is to take more care of Yu Yalan and her son, and try not to let anyone take advantage of the situation and harm them.

Of course, the two of them actually believed in Song Xi's character more, and felt that he would not give up on his character. Most of the Dingbeihou clan were infatuated with love, and would not take concubines unless they were forced by power.

.

Song Xi looked around casually, taking in the expressions and reactions of everyone present.

Although these people didn't say much, he still understood the contempt everyone felt for Yu Yalan.

A burst of anger suddenly rushed into his brain, his handsome face became more and more indifferent, a murderous intention flashed in his dark eyes, and his whole body became much fiercer.

"Which family are you a girl from?"

Qingyue's voice sounded faintly, breaking the silent atmosphere near the main table.

The ministers' hearts suddenly trembled, and they felt that something was not quite right about the Lord's appearance.

Liu Jing did not realize that the crisis was approaching, but was excited by Song Xi's response.

"The daughter of the people is the eldest daughter of the commander of the Kaicheng Guards. Today, she was fortunate enough to attend the celebration banquet for pacifying the northwest with her father. I saw the marshal with his extraordinary appearance, as if he was a heavenly being. I couldn't help but feel admiration for him. If he is the marshal,

Sir, you don’t mind the little girl being clumsy, rude, young and energetic..."

Before she could finish her words, Song Xi raised her hand to interrupt her.

A bit of surprise appeared on his originally confident and flamboyant face, and a feeling of uneasiness crept into his heart.

Commander Liu of the Kaicheng Guard saw that the situation was not good and quickly stepped out to smooth things over and make amends.

"Your Majesty, my little daughter is not good at words and is a little willful and impulsive. If she offends you in any way, I hope you will forgive her. I will take her home now. I also ask your Majesty not to offend her."

As he spoke, he pulled his daughter back. She looked very knowledgeable, but in fact she didn't use much strength.

Liu Jing understood her father's eyes, pretended to be a little daughter and said coquettishly: "Dad, I just admire the marshal. I didn't do anything bad. Is it wrong to like someone? Then please invite the marshal.

Feel free to punish me!"

She looked straight at the man in charge with affectionate eyes, her charming face full of no hesitation.

If it had been another man, he might have been moved and felt that this impulsiveness was particularly real and endearing.

But which of the civil servants and generals present was not a human being? Only this father and daughter did not feel embarrassed by such poor acting skills.

"Commander Liu who opened the Chengwei...is the Liu Fuyan who surrendered without a fight, opened the city gates on his own initiative, and gave women to both the Duke of Lu and the Seventh Prince of Tartar?"

Song Xi's sarcasm was like thunder on the ground, and everyone was stunned.

The officials present did not know the relevant details of Pingliang's surrender, and they had never heard of Liu Fuyan, who came from a small place.

According to Song's official selection standards, such misdemeanor officials should have been eliminated long ago, but the other party is now staying in his original position and even qualified to participate in the celebration banquet?!

All the civil servants and military generals looked at each other, feeling that there might be some trouble today.

Various conspiracy theories quickly flashed through their minds. Before they could guess the truth of the matter, they heard Song Xi say something even more shocking.

"If my memory is correct, the current Kaicheng Guard commander's surname should be Xu? Your official position has been removed a long time ago. How did you sneak into the celebration banquet today? It seems that my defense is not good enough.
