Daqin Baizhisheng
Chapter 32
Bai Xiaosheng stood up and returned to his seat with the others. When he looked up, his eyes met with those of Prince Chu of Qin. The two nodded imperceptibly.
The King of Qin, who had been a hostage in Handan and ascended the throne after only three days as a crown prince, was about forty years old, thin, and as white as a woman. Although he looked elegant and noble, it was a pity that there was not enough light in his eyes, which greatly weakened the aura of a king.
Bai Xiaosheng was humble on the surface, but calm in his heart. He looked away and avoided the King of Qin's gaze, leaving Lu Buwei to deal with it. Naturally, he found that there was an empty desk seat under the position below the three officials. This was obviously a temporary arrangement, but the strange thing was that both Lu Buwei and Xiong Gao kept their distance from that seat.
The desk seat was still empty. I don't know which adult it was, but he hasn't arrived yet before the banquet started. Just as he was thinking, two people came over from the pond in the palace, one old and one young. After bowing to the King of Qin and the two princesses in the palace, they quietly entered the empty table, and a palace maid came forward to pour wine.
The old man was dressed in eunuch clothes, with long eyebrows and white hair, full of authority, deep-set eyes, and a bit of feminine tenderness in his gestures. Needless to say, this man is a eunuch, and an old eunuch, a senior eunuch.
Bai Xiaosheng was slightly startled, and tilted his head to ask behind him:"Who is this person? He can sit below the three dukes. And he is also a eunuch."
The person behind him was Zhong Buwang who entered the palace with Bai Xiaosheng. He introduced in a low voice:"This eunuch Gao is a veteran of three dynasties, serving the Queen Mother Huayang full-time. Recently, the sect has concluded that he is the master of this generation of Luowang. Although he is gradually giving up power to Lord Yangquan, his words are still the most useful in Luowang."
Bai Xiaosheng said"oh" and understood. He thought to himself, no wonder a eunuch can sit below the three dukes. This old dog appeared at the banquet to represent the Queen Mother Huayang. Prince Qin Chu dared not give him face.
As for the young eunuch next to the old eunuch, Bai Xiaosheng didn't care. The conversation with Zhong Buwang was through the method of transmitting sound into secret, so outsiders could not hear it.
At this time, two cold and meaningful eyes from the eunuch Gao had already been cast on Bai Xiaosheng, as if he had noticed something.
Bai Xiaosheng smiled, raised his wine cup and clinked it in the air with Eunuch Gao to show his friendship.
Speaking of Luowang, Bai Xiaosheng thought of the singer killer. He wondered if he had returned to Qin. How would Yangquan Jun and Lu Buwei deal with him?
After a while, the music in the hall gradually rose, the sound of stringed instruments played festive sounds, and beautiful dancers entered the court to dance. The palace banquet officially began.
Since it was a welcoming banquet, Ying Zheng was the protagonist. The ministers in the hall could not avoid talking about the prince in their conversations and congratulations. In their eyes, the young prince was still young, and it would take at least a few years for him to catch their eyes. Naturally, they put the focus of the discussion on Bai Xiaosheng, Ying Zheng's nominal teacher.
Bai Xiaosheng raised his glass to deal with it, and dealt with it casually, but he had already started cursing in his heart.
If you want to deal with Ying Zheng, I have no objection, but you don't have to be so obvious. What Bai Xiaosheng hates most is being troubled by others, especially by people in the palace.
…………
"Mr. Bai Xiao, what do you think of this proposal?"The Qin prince Chu smiled and cast his eyes on Bai Xiaosheng's desk. Although he was asking a question, his tone was somewhat helpless.
Bai Xiaosheng was slightly stunned. Earlier, the pig-headed Yangquan Jun proposed a duel. To put it nicely, it was to compare martial arts skills, but everyone knew that Yangquan Jun looked down on businessmen and used the duel at the banquet to humiliate him.
He stood up and saluted, looked around, and then said with a smile:"I am just a businessman. My boxing skills are too crude, so I won't show off my ugliness."
The hall burst into laughter, and no one believed what Bai Xiaosheng said. The crude boxing skills could force back the Zhao general Li Mu, so the skills were really crude.
At this time, a person who no one expected spoke up. The eunuch Gao suddenly said,"Mr. Bai Xiao is too modest." He saluted the King of Qin,"This old servant also wants to broaden his horizons and see the skills of your pen."
Bai Xiaosheng's eyelids twitched, and he thought, what does this old dog want to do. Could it be that the Queen Mother Huayang in the deep palace sent him to find out her background? Then come on.
So he agreed with a smile.
Eunuch Gao's eyes lit up slightly, but Ying Zheng, who was sitting next to Zhao Ji, looked worried. Zhao Ji whispered to comfort him:"Your teacher is not a person who will suffer losses, just watch."
Sure enough, Bai Xiaosheng said:"It is natural that close combat is inevitable in a martial arts competition. It would be very unlucky if blood is seen at a grand banquet in the palace."
This makes sense. Prince Chu of Qin's eyes turned cold, and he looked at the ministers in the hall and said:"Sir, you are right. If anyone asks himself that he can't control the strength of his attack, he should not come out to make a fool of himself. My son is unhappy, and I am unhappy too."These words stopped the black people who were planning to accidentally injure or kill someone.
The ministers were startled to find that this usually weak-spoken king also had a shrewd side, who was decisive and shrewd. He had the majesty of a king, worthy of being the descendant of King Xiang.
As soon as the words fell, a general had already stood up and left the table at the suggestion of Lord Yangquan, saluted in the direction of the throne, and said in a deep voice:"Your servant, Fan Yuqi (Fan Yuqi's real name was Huan Xi, and he changed his name to Fan Yuqi after rebelling against Qin. But like the name Ying Zheng, it has been called for thousands of years and cannot be changed.), would like to ask for your advice."
The King of Qin nodded slightly, knowing the level of Fan Yuqi. It is said that he was transferred from Luowang to the army. He has followed Eunuch Gao for several years and is considered a half-apprentice. His martial arts skills are even good.
Bai Xiaosheng narrowed his eyes slightly. There is no need to ask, Fan Yuqi must have had Eunuch Gao signaling behind his back when he made a move.
He bowed to Fan Yuqi and said:"Fan Yuqi?"
"That's right."
