Can you still be as arrogant and domineering as you are now?

Lin Ru and Xu Yixuan naturally understood the meaning behind the words of the Marquis of Zhenxi.

Neither of them responded.

They walked inside in perfect unison, heads down.

Their pace was so fast that they left the Marquis of Zhenxi far behind.

The Marquis of Zhenxi, watching the two people walking quickly ahead, clenched his fist tightly inside his sleeve. He had to hold back, hold back, in order to continue his plan.

that's all!

They finally settled into their respective seats.

Only when he was sitting on it did the Marquis of Zhenxi feel a little more at ease.

What he's sitting on is a dragon throne.

The place where that little vixen and that hothead were sitting was reserved for ministers and princes!

Although the two of them addressed each other as the Marquis of Zhenxi, they still had to sit below.

Thinking of this, the smile on his face became even more genuine.

He clapped his hands, and the banquet officially began.

Lin Ru watched as the dishes were served one after another.

It felt somewhat novel, but not much, because several of the dishes on it were ones she had taught her mother!

Take, for example, this Sichuan peppercorn chicken in front of me.

Meanwhile, the Marquis of Zhenxi thought that Lin Ru was seeing this dish for the first time.

His smugness deepened.

"Miss Lin probably hasn't tried this dish before, after all, it's a new dish recently developed by the Imperial Kitchen!"

"This dish is called Sichuan Pepper Chicken!"

"Although this is just a chicken dish, the side dishes are quite special!"

"This is made with pepper, Sichuan peppercorns, Sichuan peppercorns and chili peppers."

"These things are very expensive; you can't get them anywhere else."

Lin Ru looked at the Marquis of Zhenxi with a somewhat complicated expression.

Suddenly I felt that this person was actually a bit pitiful.

This person is somewhat out of touch with reality. Doesn't he know that the products from these places are actually produced in Mianzhou?

She felt that everyone should know this news.

She turned her gaze to the officials present, whose expressions were complicated, especially those at the front.

And those people sitting next to the Marquis of Zhenxi.

She noticed that the expressions on the faces of the people around the Marquis of Zhenxi were even more complicated.

The wife of the Marquis of Zhenxi, in particular, stood up and laughed it off.

"Miss Lin, those dishes over there are all very famous signature dishes in Kyoto. You can try them all."

Lin Rusheng had some doubts about whether they were working together to curry favor with the Marquis of Zhenxi, and therefore hiding something.

She wasn't in a hurry to expose it.

Instead, he ate his food in front of him with great calmness.

Seeing this, Lady Ge, the wife of the Marquis of Zhenxi, breathed a long sigh of relief.

Actually, these things were bought by his maternal brother in order to help his child win the favor of the Marquis of Zhenxi!

Although the Marquis of Zhenxi was not of high rank, he attached great importance to the birth of both legitimate and illegitimate children.

Although he had several concubines!

However, these concubines were brought in after Ge had given birth to several children. It's really hard to say why, but none of them had a son. Only daughters survived among their children!

Although the Marquis of Zhenxi guessed that there was something fishy going on, he didn't care, since he didn't lack sons.

Moreover, he raised his sons very well, and there was no infighting among them.

Instead, it creates a sense of mutual help and support.

So everyone kept the matter of the Sichuan peppercorns a secret from him. He only thought that his children were being filial, which was why they bought these things so that the imperial chef could focus on making delicious food for him!

It is precisely because of these diverse and delicious foods that she has grown into the pot-bellied woman she is today.

No one in the Ge family expected such an awkward situation to arise today.

Fortunately, that little vixen surnamed Lin knew what was good for her!

And so, everyone ate their food in silence, and for a moment, they even felt quite pleased with each other.

It takes about half an incense stick's time to eat it.

Seeing that these people seemed to have some knowledge, the Marquis of Zhenxi called over some more people to perform for everyone.

Lin Ru looked at the well-trained female singers in front of her.

There were also those very handsome musicians.

I'm suddenly a little envious of the Marquis of Zhenxi's current life!

No wonder he's gotten so fat and bloated.

Anyone who sees these attractive women and men will feel like they need to eat two more bowls of rice.

It's exactly like watching TV, even more immersive than watching TV.

Marquis Zhenxi was very satisfied with Lin Ru's reaction.

They assumed that these peasants had never seen such a grand sight.

Now that they see the gap between the two of them, they may already feel extremely inferior.

The song ends here!

The Marquis of Zhenxi waved his hand to the people below, and they all tactfully withdrew.

Lin Ru knew that this person was about to get to the point, so she stopped what she was doing and looked directly at the Marquis of Zhenxi above her!

"Miss Lin! General Xu! The main purpose of my invitation to you today is to discuss the future relationship between the three of us!"

"The war has been going on for about a year now!"

"Both soldiers and civilians are somewhat exhausted."

"Moreover, we all know what kind of year it was last year. The people down there suffered terribly. We can't ignore the lives of the people because of our own needs. Haven't you seen what those refugees are eating now? They can't even afford grass roots and tree bark anymore, especially now that it's winter. Even if there are grass roots, these people can't dig up tree bark at all."

"Moreover, we have been forced to get to where we are today. It was those people who went too far that forced us to fight back."

"Now that the situation has basically stabilized, let's lay down our weapons and shake hands to make peace."

“If this continues, it will not be us who suffer, but the poor people and the soldiers who are suffering. They all have families, parents, brothers, wives and children waiting for them to return. We cannot let these people be torn apart by their wives and children because of everyone’s selfish desires.”

"What we want is not a barren land, but a land with people, families, and a sense of life."

"I sincerely hope you can seriously consider what I have said."

Xu Yixuan actually agreed with what the Marquis of Zhenxi said from the bottom of his heart, regardless of whether he said it for his own sake or for the sake of the people.

He felt that things shouldn't continue like this.

These days, he has been leading his troops at the forefront and has witnessed far too many partings and deaths.

He was already tired of killing.

Unfortunately, the war cannot be stopped simply by him demanding it.

Although I don't expect any results from this peace talk!
