[-]. Reunion

It was the same Xiaonanlou, the same two people, but their moods at the banquet were quite different.Tang Ruhui would not invite people here for no reason, this behavior always has the meaning of a grand banquet.However, as far as Pei Taiyue is concerned, he had already handed in the "voting certificate" before, and Qin Si was pushed to the top of the public opinion just as Tang Ruhui wished, and he even had to fight this lost opportunity. tough battle.As for Chu Loufeng, although his status was a bit awkward because of Chu Yangqiu's relationship, there was no need to deal with it specially.

So along the way, Pei Taiyue thought about it, but couldn't figure out why.Chu Loufeng obviously didn't think as much as he did. Apart from being a little reluctant because he was called out for the big festival and couldn't spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together, he didn't show any nervous expression.

He smiled self-deprecatingly, he wasn't a kid who had just entered the rivers and lakes, so why was he so nervous.Previously in the Valley of the Wicked, the mission was dangerous, people's hearts were unpredictable, and even his life was in danger, but there was never a time when he thought about the past and the future like he is now.

Pei Taiyue turned her head subconsciously, beside him, Chu Loufeng's profile was quiet and beautiful.Noticing his gaze, the man turned his head and smiled, his eyebrows and eyes were curved, which was really touching.

"It's just going to a reunion banquet, and it's not a sea of ​​swords, what do you want to do so much?" Chu Loufeng tilted his head to look at him, a small strand of black hair fell out in front of his eyes, "Besides, even if there is a sea of ​​swords, Why don't you have me with you?"

"Ah."

Pei Taiyue also smiled, and raised his hand to help him pin the strand of hair behind his ear.Taoism pays attention to following the trend, and what he is best at is to dismantle tricks when he sees them. Now he is thinking so wildly, probably because he is worried about it.

When they arrived, almost everyone was there, they were all Tang Ruhui's confidantes, when they saw the two of them enter the house, they suddenly fell silent.Pei Taiyue was very uncomfortable being stared at by them, but Chu Loufeng greeted everyone generously, walked to his seat and sat down.After a while, Tang Ruhui finally came late, first took the initiative to punish himself with a drink, then sat down, and said with a smile: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone should eat and drink well."

He usually had an expressionless face, but this wide-eyed smile seemed somewhat amiable.So someone responded: "Then I'd rather be respectful than obey my orders."

When everyone heard the words, they raised their glasses one after another, and the atmosphere of the banquet gradually heated up.Although Chu Loufeng was just a newcomer in the Valley of the Wicked, he had a sweet mouth and a slick personality, so he quickly joined the conversation.

Pei Taiyue knows that she can't drink enough, and she usually restrains herself, so she rarely has the opportunity to drink.It's just that on such an occasion, Tang Ruhui brought the wine himself, and he didn't want to make trouble, so he just toasted with everyone.After only drinking two or three cups, I felt very uncomfortable.The hot air of the wine rushed from the stomach to the top of the head, steaming around the eyes, the head seemed to be wrapped in a thick layer of cotton gauze, and it was heavy and dizzy.

After drinking for three rounds, someone mentioned the matter of Qin Si.All the people present here are Tang Ruhui's cronies, so naturally they did whatever they liked at this time, and only derogated that Commander Qin to nothing.Tang Ruhui waited until they had finished talking, then knocked on the table with his knuckles, and said in a deep voice: "Commander Qin has been guarding the road for many years and has paid a lot for my villain's valley. Everyone, be careful in your words and deeds."

As soon as these words came out, everyone confessed their crimes one after another.Pei Taiyue watched the farce with cold eyes, neither interjected nor echoed, only sneered silently in her heart.

"However..." Tang Ruhui cleared his throat, and said seemingly casually, "Although I have worked with Commander Qin for many years, I don't want to believe those nonsense. But at this time, his army is out, in case he really colluded with the Haoqi League , the two phases unite, and bite back, so what?"

There was a moment of silence on the wine table, and a moment later, someone asked tentatively: "In this case, why don't we lead the army to check and balance each other?"

But Tang Ruhui shook his head: "How can I interfere in the internal affairs of others in the army? Besides, if you really lead the army to go, let outsiders see it, it will only be regarded as discord in the valley of the wicked."

Hearing the words, the man suddenly realized: "Then we might as well send someone to monitor and not interfere in the affairs, just pay attention to its movements."

"How can Commander Qin let others watch?" A handsome young man in green clothes opposite him shook his folding fan and scoffed at this. Pass it on. Just three or five people, how can they guard the entire camp?"

"The Evil Commander is right," another person interjected, "so the key is not how to monitor Commander Qin, but the movements of his troops..."

He didn't continue talking, and no one answered. The eyes of everyone in the room unconsciously focused on Pei Taiyue.

Qin Si's three armies are out and at the cusp of public opinion, so he can only deal with Haoqi with all his strength.Tang Ruhui has been recuperating for more than two months, probably gearing up for a civil war.

That's why he needed someone to monitor in the Qin Si army. It was not easy to send too many people there, but also he needed to be well-informed, and he had to take care of everything - such conditions were clearly mentioned by Pei Taiyue.

He is a subordinate of Unextinguishable Smoke, and his secret eyeliner is almost all over the world. No one is more suitable for this task than him.It's just that in this way, he publicly puts his position on Tang Ruhui's side, and smart people can think of where the rumors that have been raging in the city before come from.

Although Pei Taiyue was under Tang Ruhui's command before, he always maintained a neutral attitude and did not have any ill relations with Qin Si.Now the other party is pressing harder and harder, trying to tie him into the same boat completely.

"According to what you said," the elegant young man in Tsing Yi pointed out with a smile, "this matter must be done by Daoist Pei."

"Your Excellency, Director-General, thinks highly of it," Pei Taiyue lowered his gaze, "Commander Tang, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle this matter."

Tang Ruhui wasn't annoyed, instead he smiled, picked up the wine cup and played with it in the palm of his hand: "Everyone knows each other well, it's hypocritical to be so modest."

He didn't look at him, his eyes followed the celadon wine cup in his hand.The small porcelain was twirling back and forth at his fingertips, but the light wine inside did not spill a drop.

"As for Mr. Chu..." he said leisurely, "You don't have to worry about it too much. Xiao Yao'er has also arrived in Luoyang recently, let him see Mr. Chu's injury again, so you can rest assured."

Pei Taiyue and Chu Loufeng looked at each other, they both understood that it was Tang Ruhui's intention to separate the two of them, with one outside and the other as a hostage, so as to contain each other.

It's just that since he said this, he must have made double preparations.The room fell silent for a while, and everyone was waiting for his answer.However, Pei Taiyue just bowed his head and said nothing, suddenly felt a slight warmth in his palm, it turned out that Chu Loufeng had quietly touched his hand under the table, and squeezed it comfortingly.

"Commander Tang trusts you," Pei Taiyue took a deep breath, and said slowly, "It's just that soldiers are extremely fast, and military aircraft are fleeting. If you wait for the news from the front line to come back, and then Commander Tang orders, you may have a long-term misfortune."

What he said was cryptic, but the meaning was very clear, that is, he wanted the other party to exchange some forces of the people and horses.Tang Ruhui's eyes dimmed for a moment, and then he nodded slowly: "You have always been considerate, so let's make it like this."

Seeing that the two had finally reached an agreement, everyone in the room couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and started drinking and eating again.Pei Taiyue just had a confrontation with Tang Ruhui, drank too much wine, and felt physically and mentally exhausted, but someone did not wink and raised a glass to respect the two of them.

The other party is Tang Ruhui's confidant, and this gesture is obviously for the matter just now.Looking at his hypocritical smiling face, Pei Taiyue closed her eyes hard, trying to make herself more awake, but when she opened her eyes again, she met Chu Loufeng's worried eyes.

"I will drink this glass of wine for Daochang Pei."

Chu Loufeng smiled and bowed his hands.Without waiting for Pei Taiyue to refuse, he took the wine glass from his hand.But the man shook his finger and said with a smile: "The penalty for wine should be double."

"Then it's double." Chu Loufeng was also straightforward, took his own wine cups, placed them side by side on the table, and poured a full cup of wine, "Is that right?"

Who would have thought that the man would make an inch, and said slowly, "I'm toasting you two... three cups."

This was obviously making things difficult, but Chu Loufeng was not annoyed, and still smiling, he took another wine cup from the cabinet behind him, and it was still full—at this moment, Pei Taiyue suddenly reached out and pressed the wine cup. grabbed his wrist.

The white-clothed Taoist stood up casually, his face sinking like water, he didn't look at the provocative confidant just now, he only looked at Tang Ruhui, and picked up three wine cups one by one.

"For the first glass of wine, I respect you for taking the overall situation into consideration. It's really a blessing for the villain Guzhong to command you like this.

"The second cup of wine, congratulations on your help. If Commander Qin is really ungrateful, he will be punished by heaven.

"For the third cup of wine, I was punished for blinding my eyes with a leaf. I should not have done my job while living in this good tree."

Standing upright, Pei Taiyue drank the three glasses of wine one by one: "Commander Tang, these three glasses of wine are my respect to you."

The room was as silent as death, and the expressions on everyone's faces were not very good-looking.In these three toasts, one is to persuade the wicked Gu Dayi, the other is to coerce Qin Si's affairs, and the third is to use oneself as a coercion - openly ridiculing and secretly sarcasm, but there is no mistake at all, making people even have a clue Can't catch it.

Seeing that no one made a sound, Pei Taiyue simply saluted Tang Ruhui and Yang Xiu, and said: "This subordinate is not feeling well, so I will take my leave first."
