The next day.
The hazy morning light gradually spread across the earth, and a red sun slowly rose, dyeing the sky golden.
The mountains in the distance, illuminated by the morning light, look like a magnificent landscape painting.
The air is still filled with the freshness of grass and trees.
With such beautiful scenery as your companion, it’s naturally time to sleep in.
Qin Yuan slept soundly until noon, then he leisurely put on his clothes.
With his eyes slightly squinted, he walked out of the tent and stretched out his body, feeling extremely comfortable.
"Hey, it's so early in the morning. Why are you all standing here instead of getting busy?"
Qin Yuan asked as he looked at Li Yinhuan, Murong Yanran and others gathered outside the tent.
Murong Yanran raised her eyes and glanced at the sun, estimated the time, and said with a dry laugh: "Good morning... You're finally up."
Qin Yuan didn't care at all and asked, "What's wrong? What happened again?"
"Someone from the Lu family has arrived." Murong Yanran said with a smile, "It's the head of the family, Lu Jia, who came personally. He arrived before dawn and has been left out all morning."
Qin Yuan raised his eyebrows and said sarcastically, "Oh? This old guy is really spineless. He would rather rely on words than fight with the Cao family."
"You are spineless. So spineless."
Li Yinhuan shrugged, "That's good. It saves me from making another trip. I don't need to deliver the women's clothing anymore."
Murong Yanran asked, "Now that our goal has been achieved, what should we do next?"
Qin Yuan thought for a moment and asked, "Did Lu Jia come alone?"
The words fell.
Murong Yanran suddenly burst out laughing.
Li Yinhuan also giggled non-stop.
Qin Yuan frowned and asked in confusion: "What's going on?"
Murong Yanran smiled and said, "You don't know, this Lu Jia was carried here by the servants."
"Ah?" Qin Yuan didn't understand.
Murong Yanran said with a smile: "You don't know, Yinhuan's arrow hit him right on the butt!"
Good job!
This is quite a coincidence.
Qin Yuan was also happy.
Is this old guy so unlucky?
Qin Yuan swore that he just asked Li Yinhuan to shoot a letter into the master's room.
I didn't mean to humiliate him like this!
Qin Yuan couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that this old guy has committed too many sins in his daily life and has brought down the punishment from heaven."
After he finished speaking, Li Yinhuan, who had finally stopped laughing, started laughing again.
Indeed, it must be very unethical to be so unlucky!
Murong Yanran suppressed her smile and asked, "So should we meet him now or not?"
Qin Yuan squinted at Murong Yanran and said with a wicked smile, "Why would you want to see him? How can we perform this drama when the Cao family is not here?"
"Let him dry in the sun for a few more hours to wear down his temper."
"I don't need to teach you the rest, right, Murong?"
"Need not."
Murong Yanran smiled happily.
She already understood what Qin Yuan meant.
…
The sun is shining brightly and the scorching sun is high in the sky.
It is clearly autumn, but for some reason the usually warm sunlight in the south of the Yangtze River has become so harsh!
Lu Jia, Lu Feng and their group waited for the whole morning.
I'm already sweating profusely, anxious and restless!
Lu Feng looked up at the scorching sun and whispered, "Dad, you need to rest to recover from your injuries. Why don't we go back first?"
Lu Jia lay on the couch, his buttocks aching slightly. His expression was gloomy, and he cursed: "Female tyrant! What a bastard official you sent..."
"Dad!" Lu Feng shouted, reminding him, "Trouble comes from the mouth, be careful with your words."
"Be cautious!" Lu Jia said passionately, "I, your father, am devoted to the public good. I rushed here early this morning to report a matter of vital importance to the survival of the Great Zhou to the Imperial Envoy!"
"But what was the result? Tell me the result?"
Lu Feng had a bitter face and didn't know what to say.
Lu Jia was furious and roared, "It's already noon, and this bastard official is still enjoying himself with his mistress!"
"Does she really not care about the affairs of the Great Zhou?"
"Does she really not care about the people of Da Zhou?"
Lü Jia was getting deeper and deeper into the role, and he sighed as if from the bottom of his heart:
"What a tyrant! What a tyrant!"
"It's a pity that this old man, with all his ardent heart, has no way to serve his country, no way to serve his country..."
After venting his anger, Lu Jia seemed to calm down a lot. Lu Feng then persuaded him again: "Dad, why don't we go back?"
"Wait!" Lu Feng squeezed out a word from between his teeth, "I just don't believe this bastard official can sleep through the night!"
"I just don't believe it. This bastard official can still live a life of drunkenness and debauchery outside the city of Suzhou!"
at the same time.
A guard on a fast horse quietly bypassed Lu Jia and his group, rushed straight to Suzhou City, and went straight to Cao's mansion to deliver a letter.
Then, he rode at full speed to the mansions of other families.
Cao Mansion.
Cao De looked at the letter in front of him, frowning, puzzled.
Letter:
My daughter Murong Yanran will be hosting a banquet for all the heads of families by the Taihu Lake outside Suzhou City tonight. I hope you will do me the honor of coming and chatting with us.
Why invite them to the banquet for no reason?
Could it be the Hongmen Banquet?
Although Qin Yuan and his entourage were on a "secret visit", all their strengths and weaknesses had long been seen through by the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River.
Those 10,000 light cavalry outside are really scary...
Cao De felt a little guilty.
Should I go or not?
While he was hesitating, he heard the news brought back by his son Cao Meng.
"Dad, something terrible has happened!"
