Red makeup against the world

Chapter 386 Meet King Qi

Wu Guangqi looked around vigilantly. Although the crowd gradually dispersed, there were still a few scattered people.

He gestured for Wu Sheng to follow him to the imperial city.To the north of the Tianjin Bridge is the imperial city, and all officials must verify their waist badges before entering.

It is only opened to the outside world once a year, and that is the day of Emperor Qinglong's birthday.

Although the dragon boat race on the Dragon Boat Festival was lively enough, the guards on the north side of the Tianjin Bridge were still there, and the common people did not dare to cross half a step.

At this time, the sun was shining brightly, and the wide square in front of the imperial city was bleached white by the sun. It was empty without any people, and it was a good place to talk.

……

Wu Zhengxiang watched from a distance, the eldest brother and Wu Guangqi walked towards the imperial city one after the other, he thought for a moment, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

It seems that the eldest brother wants to take advantage of this incident to attack Gyeonggi Daying!
In this court, although there are two major factions, military generals and civil officials.But just like civil servants can distinguish between clear stream and turbid stream, military generals can also be divided into martial arts and civilians.

Compared with the mutual dislike of the two major factions of generals and civil servants, the internal struggles are more intense because they involve each other's vital interests.

A few years ago, during the dragon boat race of the Dragon Boat Festival, one member of the Beiya army died, but finally, under the persuasion of Emperor Qinglong, nothing happened.

It's impossible for a person like Big Brother to protect his weaknesses to forget this hatred.Finally, I have seized the opportunity today, and I must take revenge fiercely.

Wu Zhengxiang figured this out, turned around and walked into the crowd.He was just here to take a look, since the elder brother had business to do, he stopped coming forward.

……

Fan Bin watched Qi Wang encourage the drum head who received the reward, and turned back to the colorful shed.

He approached slowly and heard everyone talking inside.

After losing the game, the dragon boat rowers were not discouraged. They drummed their heads and said, "We lost this year because we couldn't hold our breath. We saw the dragon boat from Gyeonggi Daying passing by, so we wanted to catch up. As a result, we exhausted our strength early and were sprinting." Sometimes it’s impossible to do anything.”

Hearing what he said, the men looked ashamed and said: "My lord, we are ashamed of your cultivation. At the critical moment, we couldn't use our strength."

With a gentle smile on his face, King Qi said: "I know you all tried your best. There are winners and losers in the game, so don't worry about it. If you lose this year, you can win it back next year."

"Yes!" Gutou clenched his fists and said, "Next year, we will definitely win the title and win glory for the prince!"

The men were in high spirits, shouting one after another: "Yes! We will fight again next year!"

Fan Bin nodded slowly, he was not surprised by the victory or defeat of the king of Qi, and he was a bit of a king.

He also heard that King Qi invited everyone to drink at Zuibailou, and when the people in the shed cheered and embraced King Qi, he turned from the side and walked slowly towards Zuibailou.

When he got downstairs, he looked around, and there were a few boys playing Cuju in the alley by the street.

He recruited the one with the most flexible eyebrows to come over, gave him some big money, and described King Qi's appearance and clothes to him, and asked him to go upstairs and quietly invite King Qi to come down.

Fan Bin had a good eye. The boy went up to the third floor, and he didn't panic when he saw the men who were drinking and fisting.

King Qi was looking at the people who were fighting for wine with a smile, he was a little surprised when he heard his words, put down the wine glass in his hand, and said: "I'll go out for a while, you guys have fun first." After finishing speaking, he was about to go downstairs.

Seeing this, the guard behind him hurriedly got up to follow, he waved his hand and said, "No need."

Fan Bin wanted to see him, so naturally he would not be in any danger.

He put so much effort into Fan Bin, not to mention pulling him into his camp, but at least he won't harm himself.King Qi still has this confidence.

Standing in the alley, Fan Bin felt admiration in his heart when he saw King Qi coming alone.

You must know that King Qi is the hope of Empress Cao's line. In terms of age, popularity, and charm, he is the only opponent who can rival the prince.The king of Chu is too young, and although Princess Zhaoyang has great plans, she cherishes being a daughter.

He was able to come to see him alone because he had given him great trust.

Even though he knew that King Qi wanted to fight for him wholeheartedly, and that he was behind General Zhenxi's mansion, Fan Bin was still moved by his move.

Seeing Fan Bin from a distance, King Qi had an upright smile on his face, and joked: "Since Fan Zhuangyuan is here, why don't you go upstairs and have a few drinks? Could it be that you don't like the fact that King Ben lost today?"

Fan Bin hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "The general will meet the lord. The lord would never dare to be so polite. This time I have something else to ask for, and I will come to disturb the lord's wine another day."

King Qi smiled slightly. Before the situation became clear, Fan Bin kept a distance from him. He knew this well and didn't care about it.If General Long didn't even have this idea, it wouldn't be worth his effort to fight for it.

"Fan Zhuangyuan, you don't have to be polite, just talk about anything. Whenever you want to get together with me, just tell me, and I will wait for you." King Qi's posture was extremely low, fully revealing his eagerness to seek talents, Fan Bin was even more moved.

He clasped his fists and gave a deep salute, saying: "The prince's great love will be known in the end. When the time comes, he will definitely repay it."

King Qi was overjoyed to get this promise from him, this was an unexpected harvest.Suppressing the surprise in his heart, he waved his hand and said, "This king really likes Fan Zhuangyuan very much. You don't have to feel guilty about it."

When he said this, Fan Bin felt lighthearted, the friendship between him and King Qi was far from that level.Hearing him say this reduced the pressure of meeting King Qi.

"My lord, the last general is coming this time, and I would like to ask my lord to tell Mrs. Zhu that there is no need to propose marriage at the Xu family!"

"Oh?" Qi Wang was surprised, Fan Bin really had a sincere heart for Xu Wan, and he saw it from the bottom of his heart.When the princes were fighting that day, Fan Bin never gave up, how could he suddenly let go at this moment?
"What happened?" King Qi asked, "Could it be that someone threatened you?" He doubted the prince in his heart.

Fan Bin looked gloomy, shook his head slowly and said: "No, it's just that in Miss Xu's heart, there is no place for the last general."

King Qi was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed heartily. Since he has already made up his mind, he will stop persuading him.Anyway, this marriage is just to shorten the distance with him.

Patting his shoulder lightly with his hands, he said, "Did Fan Zhuangyuan meet his sweetheart in person? It doesn't matter. Why does a man have no wife?"

These days, Fan Bin has figured it out.

The word love is the most elusive.Since she doesn't have herself in her heart, she can't force it.

He smiled wryly and said: "What the prince said is true. However, for now, the general should focus on military merits, and don't want to get married for the time being."

King Qi smiled meaningfully, and said: "Don't worry, I won't give you women indiscriminately. Who has never been young? This king understands your mood very well."

Immediately, he pointed to the bustling "Zuibailou" with his finger, and said: "In your current situation, it is most suitable to drink a few cups, so that you don't get drunk and don't return. Are you really not going up?"
