Amid the melodious music, a pair of men and women danced gracefully on the dance floor. The lights swayed on the smooth marble floor, the skirts were flying, and the spring was surging. The Western fireplaces around them made the hall and the surrounding rooms warm. From time to time, you can see the snow-white thighs flying under the long skirt. Wufeng, who was sitting alone in a corner with a wine glass, smacked his lips. Although the hall was as warm as spring, except for the hall, it was cold. The winter nights in the imperial capital were no more than those in the south and northern Luzon. Even the warmest carriage could not resist the erosion of the severe winter.

"Dude, you seem to have seen something you shouldn't see? No wonder you didn't even notice the wine in the wine glass, hahahaha--" A familiar voice with a slight joking sound came from behind. The gorgeous robe and a slightly dissolute look were Wufeng's former old friend in the imperial capital, the Marquis of the Imperial Deputy Minister of Rites.

"Sir Lao, come and sit down." Wufeng stood up and hugged the other person's shoulders intimately, put the other person's knife in front of him, and sat down together, "Long time no see, I heard you have just returned from the East China Sea?"

"Haha, I've been back for a few days. I went out to relax. The imperial capital is windy and waves. If you can stay away, you can stay away. It's not cost-effective to accidentally wet your clothes." The other party also patted Wufeng's shoulder intimately, "Why, hiding here to peep? Well, who do you like the girl on the dance floor? Why don't you let me introduce it to you?"

"Oh, this kind of dance party is not what I like. If it weren't for Qin Tiecheng's sake, I wouldn't have come." Wufeng shrugged and said helplessly, "I heard that this party was jointly organized by the Qin family and which prominent family in Donghai? I don't know what it means. I have only been in the upper class of the imperial capital for more than a year, and it seems that many people are not familiar with it. I feel bored when I sit here. Fortunately, you are here."

He opened his mouth wide in surprise. Lao Min obviously did not expect that Li Wufeng, who is the military and political governor of the Northwest, did not know the purpose of the reception, and he actually hid here alone. "Brother Li, you are really interesting. Then how did you come? Didn't anyone greet you when you came? Is your name not on your invitation?"

He scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and Wufeng looked innocent: "Oh, this is a long story. It was originally an Angel who wanted to come, but her uncle was in poor health, so he asked me to come on her behalf. Anyway, I'm fine, so I want to come with him to have a meal. Unexpectedly, it was such a cocktail party, and I didn't prepare dinner. The Qin family is too stingy. You all used dinner, but I stayed here with an empty stomach and drank wine early in the morning."

"Oh, I was entrusted by Miss Angel. You probably used the famous post from the Huey family. No wonder, seeing a young man like you, come so early, it must be because you are a new junior in the Huey family who has come out to see the world." Lao Min suddenly realized that it was like that. No wonder she was alone in the corner and drank with wine, "Do you want those waiters to give you those pastries to fill your hunger?"

"Thank you, I have asked the waiter to take me a few pieces. Judging from the waiter's expression, the boy must have suspected that I was a person who came to eat and drink for free in these occasions." Wu Feng said angrily.

When Lao Min heard this, he was very happy, "Okay, okay, who dares to see our famous Northwest King like this? Then he must have blinded his eyes. Hold on, you will feel that this trip is worth it tonight. Now the main corner hasn't even played."

"Oh? Zhengjiaoer? Who is Zhengjiaoer? Isn't the Qin family?" Wufeng looked at Lao Min in surprise.

"This cocktail party is a commercial cocktail party held by the Qin family and the Du family in Donghai, but it is estimated that the Grand Highness and the Seventh Highness will be there. You may also be your fiancée, Princess Seventeen, will also be there. There is also the palace etiquette officer Zhu Zimei and Miss Shi Yawei, the first beauty in the martial arts world of the imperial capital. This is a rare gathering of beautiful women. It's a pity that Miss Anqier cannot attend, otherwise this event will add a little more glory." Lao Min smacked his lips and said with regret, "By the way, I heard that Miss Anqier has already had a marriage agreement with you, but is there this matter?"

Wufeng had been unable to hide the relationship between him and An Qier for a long time, but he didn't want to explain more about this issue to avoid being entangled. "Miss Angel and I have a very special relationship. She was once the military history instructor when I was a military student intern. I admire her very much. But I never seem to have heard of the Miss Shi Yawei who you mentioned.

"You are ignorant. Shi Yawei is known for her outstanding poetry and swords. Not only is she overwhelmed by sword skills in the imperial capital martial arts, but what is even more rare is that her literary attainments are also outstanding. She is good at chanting poetry and essays. Moreover, her beauty and beauty are not enough to describe her beauty, and she is not enough to describe her beauty. She is not enough to describe her beauty when she falls fish and geese are not enough to describe her charm. She is perfect." The poor people couldn't help but shake her head and sway.

Seeing that Lao Min, who was a erotic ghost, was so whispering to words, Wu Feng's interest was aroused, "Which sect is this Shi Yawei a disciple in the martial arts world of the imperial capital? Why did the Qin family invite her to attend this cocktail party?"

Looking at Wufeng with a strange look, Lao Min asked in surprise: "What? Brother Li, why are you so ignorant? Shi Yawei is the youngest daughter of Shi Yunyao, the leader of the Tingxuexuan Sect. When Shi Yunyao was young, he was recognized as a handsome man in the imperial capital. His literary talent and style were famous in the imperial capital. His swordsmanship and boxing skills were both peerless beauties with a beautiful woman. How could he have a bad daughter? The three daughters are known as Shi Zhong Sanlian. The eldest daughter Shi Yayin married Situ Mingzhi's eldest son, and the second daughter Shi Yafu married into the Miao family. Only this young daughter is more talented and beautiful than others. She is still in the boudoir, which has attracted a lot of chasing bees, waves, butterflies in the imperial capital. Hasn't Brother Li heard of it?"

Wufeng became more interested and said enthusiastically: "I have never heard of this. Maybe it was because he was in the northwest desert for a long time, so he ignored the current affairs of the imperial capital. He wanted to see if he was a false reputation in a while."

Speaking of women, the two of them had a similar scent and their eyes shone. Wufeng was still worried about the reason for the cocktail party and asked casually: "Since this cocktail party was jointly organized by the Qin family and the Du family in Donghai, why did it attract so many people who seemed to have nothing to do with their business to attend? Do you think the Huey family is all big commercial families in the imperial capital? It is barely reasonable. What are the reasons for these Your Highnesses, as well as the court etiquette officials and Shi Yawei?"

"This court etiquette official has such a kinship relationship with the Du family in the East China Sea, and Shi Yawei is a friend of the Second Prince of Qin in the Imperial Capital Poetry Club. I heard that the Second Prince of Qin also admires Shi Yawei very much, but Shi Yawei has a high vision and has never expressed his opinion." Lao Min did not directly answer Wufeng's question, "As for the two high princes, maybe they are the protagonists of this cocktail party. This is my personal guess. This cocktail party is nominally a friendly cocktail party between the East China Sea business and the Imperial Capital business community. The East China Sea business has always been developed, second only to Jiangnan. The Qin family and the Du family have deep roots in the East China Sea mansions, and have close business exchanges with the Dudun people, Japanese people, and the South China Sea countries. Many business celebrities in the imperial capital also contact foreign countries through the East China Sea re-export."

"Protagonist?" Wu Feng pondered for a moment and nodded thoughtfully, "So that's it. It turns out that it's for the East China Sea. I heard that the Great Highness and the Seventh Highness had a grievance and were almost in war. It seems that the Qin family and the Du family in the East China Sea wanted to be mediators in the middle to make a joint effort for the two parties."

"Hehe, Brother Li is indeed a little clear. It's not that he almost met with war, but that he has already met with war, but that he has not expanded." Lao Min glanced at the other party and said slowly: "The Qin family and the Du family have very deep personal connections and economic interests in the East China Sea. Once the Great Highness and the Seventh Highness really go to war, the two families will definitely not have little benefits. Of course, they don't want to see such a situation appear."

"Hmph, it's just that in this East China Sea battle, the Grand Highness and the Seventh Highness will reconcile because your two families agree to it. I'm afraid it's not that easy." Wufeng shook his head lightly, not optimistic, "Your Highness has suffered a lot of losses in the East China Sea. Yanyun's eastern part is lost. Even the capital Beiping Prefecture is still under the threat of the Puer people. Just rely on your Qin family and Du family to give in just a few simple words. Is this possible? On the side of the Seventh Highness, the East China Sea originally belonged to the jurisdiction of the Eastern Military Region from the defensive area, but now the northern part of the East China Sea is controlled by the Grand Highness. Will he be willing?"

"Haha, Brother Li, you don't have to worry too much. In short, as long as the two high men attend the meeting, it means there must be room for negotiation. If any of your friends is not there, then the intention of this cocktail party will be considered abortion." Lao Min also smiled, "We are just spectators. If there are not a few beauties attending the meeting, I will not be interested in attending."

"Yes, let's enjoy the beauty here to enjoy it. I hope I won't let me down. It's too boring to stay here for one night." Wufeng picked up the wine glass and touched the other party lightly, and took a sip.

"Hey, isn't that Lord Li? Why is Lord Li also interested in this pure commercial drink party?" The dark-skinned man had a sharp eye. He saw Wufeng at a glance from a corner. After being stunned, he walked over with a glass of wine. "Sir, I really have leisure. I won't come to see my old friends for a few days after returning to the imperial capital? Oh, Lord Lao is here too?"

"Mr. Robson, please don't come?" Wufeng stood up politely and shook hands with the other party. The three of them greeted each other.
