Song Ming was stunned for a moment, then his eyes turned red and almost exploded. Only he knew how painful his balls were. Now the pain was gone, but no one could tell if there were any other problems.
He took a deep breath. If he hadn't considered the occasion, he would have killed Song Chi right now.
But how could this idiot come here?
The female commander's homecoming banquet was attended by many dignitaries. Could it be that he wanted to publicly acknowledge his father? In front of so many people, the father had no choice but to acknowledge him.
No wonder he broke off relations so decisively earlier. It turned out he was waiting here.
This despicable guy!
At the same time, Song Shiwen's face also became gloomy.
Song Chi noticed the expressions of the two men and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. He certainly knew what the two men were thinking.
There was an eerie silence at the scene. Both Song Shiwen and his son looked at Song Chi. Shen Chong's heart skipped a beat. When he was paying his respects to the Prime Minister just now, Song Chi didn't move at all. Could it be that this was the reason why the Prime Minister was unhappy?
He was so busy that he shouted, "What are you standing there for? Why don't you pay your respects to the Prime Minister?"
Song Chi sneered inwardly, swung his sleeves, bowed, and said expressionlessly, "Greetings, Your Excellency the Prime Minister!"
Shen Chong noticed the change in the Prime Minister's expression and hurriedly explained, "Master Prime Minister, this is my servant. He is of humble origin and does not know much about etiquette. Please forgive him."
Song Chi had a blank expression on his face and immediately followed up, "Your Majesty is right. I am of humble origin and it was my first time meeting an elder like you. I was a little bit out of control for a moment."
Treason!
Song Shiwen knew that these words were insults to him. Could it be that this unfilial son was here to force him to recognize his relatives?
"So he is just a lowly book boy. Why would I care about him?" Song Shiwen said lightly. He had no fatherly feelings for this son and regarded him as a burden.
"Please take a seat."
He turned and left. Song Ming looked at Song Chi with resentment, then looked away with a sneer.
The atmosphere at the banquet returned to normal. Shen Chong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You almost caused a disaster!"
"It's obviously the Prime Minister who is targeting our Shen family. What does that have to do with Song Chi?"
The prince's maintenance is always so timely.
Everyone took their seats in order. At this time, a middle-aged man in his forties walked into the room. He had a fair complexion and a slightly plump figure. It was obvious that he was well maintained and had an air of pride. He was Han Yu, the head of the famous Han family in Ning'an Prefecture.
The Han family is a prominent family in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Ning'an Han family is one of its branches, and it has also produced many talents. Han Yu is the head of the branch family. Although he has no official power, no one dares to neglect him. This is due to the family's heritage.
There is another reason. Han Yu’s second brother is Han Qingshan, the current Minister of Personnel.
The Han family has been suppressing the Shen family, and its purpose is naturally to comply with the "policy of reducing titles" promoted by the Prime Minister Song Shiwen.
"Before the banquet begins, there's another highlight. I'm sure everyone here already knows about it. The female commander has returned home to find talented individuals and has set up a military exercise and confrontation test."
As a prominent family in Ning'an Prefecture, Han Yu served as the host of the banquet. While he was speaking, Liang Qingwu walked into the venue.
"Please enter, candidates."
As Han Yu finished speaking, Song Ming left his seat and walked over. He first bowed to Liang Qingwu, then said in a clear voice, "My Song family's ancestral home is in Ji County, Ning'an Prefecture. Naturally, I am also from Ning'an. The female commander led the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty to resist the invasion of the Northern Wei Dynasty and protect our territory. She is respected and admired by thousands. I am also one of them."
Song Ming continued, "I have studied the art of war and the art of leading troops. This time I came not to participate in the female commander's test, but to seek her guidance. This opportunity is so rare that I cannot miss it."
These words were spoken in a humble and polite manner, neither servile nor arrogant, and no one could find fault with them. As soon as they were spoken, there was a burst of admiration.
"As expected of the Prime Minister's son, he speaks appropriately."
"It's true that a tiger father will have a dog son!"
"Of course, Young Master Song is a young genius who passed the imperial examination at the age of sixteen."
Hearing such overwhelming praise, Song Ming looked at Song Chi with pride. He was showing off like crazy.
Song Chi’s face was expressionless, and you immediately stopped laughing.
"Okay, Young Master Ming counts as one, is there anyone else?" Han Yu had just finished asking when another young man stood up and walked into the arena.
This boy has a slender figure and a handsome face. There is a kind of arrogance in his every move, as if he doesn't care about anyone.
He is Han Yuanzheng, the eldest son of the Han family. He is known as the number one genius in Ning'an Prefecture. He passed the academy examination at the age of eighteen and became a scholar. It can be seen that officials do not have to kneel and enjoy privileges.
"I am not as talented and knowledgeable as Mr. Song, but as a student from Ning'an, I would also like to ask the female commander for guidance."
Han Yu immediately laughed and said, "Haha, my son wants to try it too. That's quite courageous of him."
Song Chi sneered in his heart. This hypocritical look was really disgusting, and he knew it beforehand.
"Is anyone else there?" Han Yu looked around, his tone more like a warning than a question.
The scene was silent and awkward, and the atmosphere was even a little weird.
There is no one here!
It was originally a homecoming banquet for the female general, but the entire rhythm was controlled by Song Shiwen. Without his consent, others dared not attend. The authority of this prime minister was fully demonstrated.
Song Shiwen had a confident smile on his face. This banquet could only be his son's personal show.
He first displayed his talents to win Liang Qingwu's favor, then drugged her and had sex with her to win her over. The female commander of the Great Zhou Dynasty who held military power would become his daughter-in-law, and he would then hold both the political and military power in his hands.
Such planning is for the sake of power!
"Anyone else?"
At this time Liang Qingwu asked aloud, but still no one responded.
Shen Chong clenched his hands into fists hidden in his sleeves. The Shen family had no possibility of getting close to the Prime Minister, so they could only rely on the female commander. However, when the female commander needed help the most, he was powerless.
Shen Liangcai knew nothing about the art of war, and would only bring humiliation upon himself if he went forward.
It seemed that the decline of the Shen family was inevitable, and he sighed.
At this moment, Song Chi stood up and said to Shen Liangcai: “Prince, watch how I show off!”
Shen Liangcai was stunned for a moment, “What do you mean by pretending to be powerful?”
"To show off is to show off in front of others."
After saying that, Song Chi walked directly into the arena and shouted, "And me!"
