Chapter 10: No Good Banquet (1)
"Your Majesty is really going to the banquet?" Shi Kefa asked nervously.
Zhu Yinglong gave him a relaxed smile and said, "Don't worry, Xianzhi, although there is no good banquet, it is not a Hongmen Banquet."
"The students are going to the banquet with the prince, please allow it." Shi Kefa suddenly bowed seriously and asked.
"What are you doing? Didn't you invite on the invitation?" Zhu Yinglong said in surprise.
"Students are not at ease, and students can protect the prince when necessary." Shi Kefa said firmly.
Zhu Yinglong pondered for a moment. Shi Kefa's intention was good, but if such a weak scholar came over, he might not care about him if there was a conflict. So he said, "No, you can't follow me. I just need Xiong Zhaolian to accompany me."
"Prince?" Shi Kefa said anxiously.
"No need to say more, this is my order." Zhu Yinglong's peaceful voice implied irresistible, and Shi Kefa could only retreat unwillingly.
Cuiyun Tower is a century-old brand, and the boss's surname is Zhou, but those who know the real secrets know that Cuiyun Tower is actually the property of the Zhou royal palace. Zhu Gongye naturally chose his own hotel when he invited him. First, this is his own place, and he takes the initiative. Second, he is not afraid of being listened to by outsiders when speaking here, because the people in Cuiyun Tower, from the boss to the servants who boil water, are all his loyal subordinates. Zhu Yinglong went to the banquet and naturally knew this information. Only by knowing oneself and the enemy can he win every battle. He naturally understood this principle.
It's autumn, and people who are hot during the day can't breathe, but at night, they will suddenly get a sharp turn and cooler. Zhu Yinglong and Xiong Zhaolian both appeared in casual clothes in front of the brightly lit Cuiyun Tower. The century-old brand is a century-old brand, and the business is naturally very prosperous. There are basically no free tables in the hall. Zhu Gongye's banquet will naturally not choose to hand the invitation to the shopkeeper Zhou on the counter.
When Manager Zhou saw the invitation, he was shocked. He thought that Prince Xin was at least sitting in a soft sedan chair, and at least ten people were there. He knew that the other person had only brought one person and walked over. He stretched his neck and looked out from time to time. A clever guy was sent to look at the door. But he knew that the man had stood in front of him, so he was shocked.
"The villain, Sun Qing, kowtowed to Prince Xin!" Manager Zhou hurriedly ran out of the counter and knelt down for Zhu Yinglong. The gift was divided. When the drinker in the lobby saw this situation, he couldn't do it without kneeling down to salute. He thumped, plopped, and dozens of times, and knelt down. Zhu Yinglong smiled and helped Zhou Qing up and said, "Shop Zhou, please get up. I am here today in a condom, so there is no need for so many rules."
Zhou Riqing was suspicious. It seemed that Prince Xin was easy to get along with, and the smile on his face didn't seem to be pretending. Why did his master say that Prince Xin was unruly and arrogant, but what he saw was gentle and humble, and he was quite handsome and heroic. He immediately suppressed this thought and said, "Thank you, Prince!" and stood up.
Zhu Yinglong was reincarnated at the people in the lobby and raised his hands: "Everyone should get up. It's rare for me to come out like this. Today I have to be invited by Prince Zhou to have a banquet. Please continue."
After a "thank you" sound, everyone stood up one after another, then sat down and continued to eat and drink.
Zhu Yinglong had a smile on his lips. Tonight, Zhu Gongye invited him to the banquet, not to choose his own palace, but to choose Cuiyun Tower. It is actually a painstaking effort to enfeoff two kings in one palace. It is against common sense to divide the two kings into one palace. It would be fine if the two kings were not in harmony, but if they were together, they would inevitably be suspicious of the court, so choosing to have a banquet in the palace seemed inappropriate. But what I said tonight was secret, so Cuiyun Tower under its own industry was the best choice.
To be honest, Zhu Yinglong didn't want to come, but if he didn't come, it would not only make Zhu Gongye think that he wanted to take over the treasures, but also wanted to know the origin of the so-called treasure map, especially Wang Shaowei, the prefect of Kaifeng, was fanning the flames. He still didn't know what role he was in the battle between the two kings. If you want to know these, waiting for the rabbit can achieve its goal, but it took a long time to be a passive defense. However, Zhu Yinglong prefers to lead the snake out of the cave, so he planned to go to Zhu Gongye's banquet.
"Shopkeeper Zhou, have your prince ever arrived?" Zhu Yinglong asked deliberately.
Zhou Riqing reported that his inner shock was no less than when he saw Zhu Yinglong standing in front of him just now. The Cuiyun Tower was the property of King Zhou, but the court didn't know that the Jinyiwei and Dongchang were powerful, but they were only concentrated around the capital. If Kaifeng was thousands of miles away from the capital, the Zhou royal palace has been working hard here for more than two hundred years. Even if the pervasive Jinyiwei and the spies of the Dongchang were secrets, it was impossible to know. How did the King Xin, who had not yet escaped his immature aura in front of him know this secret? Could it be... As he thought about it, a layer of sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead, and he almost forgot to answer, and he hurriedly replied: "Prince Zhou is already waiting for you in the wing room, and you are here."
"Oh, Manager Zhou, please lead the way."
"Prince, please follow the villain!" Manager Zhou quietly stepped forward, wiped the sweat from his forehead, bent over and took a "guiding" posture, and said respectfully.
Zhu Yinglong raised his heels and Xiong Zhaolian, who was following behind, whispered in his ear: "Prince, this shopkeeper Zhou is not simple."
Zhu Yinglong naturally saw it, nodded slightly, and whispered to Xiong Zhaolian: "Be careful." He couldn't help but start to re-evaluate Zhu Gongye's strength. He has a deep foundation and is indeed full of talents under his command.
After walking along the door, I turned a few songs of the corridor and came to a quiet courtyard. The osmanthus flowers were in full bloom. I really didn't expect that the Cuiyun Tower had a unique world. Standing in such a courtyard, the osmanthus fragrance was refreshing, which made people feel relaxed and refreshed. On Sunday Qing only sent Zhu Yinglong and the others to the gate of the yard and sued him.
The one who greeted Qu Yi at the gate of the courtyard was. Seeing Zhu Yinglong's figure, he hurriedly stepped forward with a smile on his face and bowed and said, "Qu Yi has seen Prince Xin, and my prince has been waiting in there for a long time."
Zhu Yinglong didn't like his smirk and said lightly: "Lead ahead."
Qu Yire's face was pressed against a cold face, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and smiled embarrassedly, and said one by one: "Prince Xin, please!"
Xiong Zhaolian was just waiting to go in, but Qu Yi reached out to stop him. The reason was that Xiong Zhaolian hummed at his behavior just now, for disdain. Qu Yi had sharp ears, so he naturally calculated the account that he had just swept his face to Xiong Zhaolian, so he naturally wanted to make things difficult for Xiong Zhaolian. So when Xiong Zhaolian was also planning to step into the courtyard, Qu Yi reached out to stop and said, "Who are you? My prince has been conquered here, and the idle people can't go in."
Xiong Zhaolian's lungs suddenly became angry. Qu Yi clearly saw that he was with Prince Xin, but he was still so rudely blocking him outside. He clearly didn't take himself and Prince Xin's Mansion seriously. He was about to curse him. Zhu Yinglong was already slightly unhappy and said to Qu Yi's face: "He is my servant, is he also a idle person waiting? In this way, isn't I also an idle person waiting in your mouth?"
Qu Yi suddenly felt a chill on his spine. Zhu Gongye, the King of Zhou, also rebuked him from time to time, but he could always face it calmly. What's wrong today? The other party was just a child with a stinky breast. Why did he feel cold all over when he asked this? The neck couldn't help but shrink inside, and he quickly squeezed out a smile and said, "No, this brother doesn't say a word. I still think that someone outside broke in randomly. Since he is the prince's servant, there is no problem."
