The man on the ground appeared to be in his twenties. He was thin, had dark skin, wore a crooked black cloth hat, had long, narrow eyebrows, and very bright eyes. On his thin lips, there was a thick and neat beard.

The latter rubbed his waist and stood up with difficulty. At the moment he stood up, a trace of anger flashed past his eyes. However, when he raised his head to look at the muscular man, he put on a fawning smile.

"Senior Cao, please forgive me. I did not mean to take your position, I truly deserve to die. Please do not take offense to prevent me from ruining your banquet."

It was clear that the lieutenant had not dared to beg for mercy so easily. He didn't even dare to complain. He immediately lost interest in blaming the other and impatiently waved his hand. "Scram! Don't be an eyesore here!"

He turned around and walked away, his back facing the back, and the fawning expression on his face instantly changed to one of extreme anger. As the latter walked, he muttered to himself, "What bad luck, I had wanted to go to the Duke's Mansion for a meal, but I didn't expect to meet such a b.a.s.t.a.r.d. If it wasn't for the fact that your body is stronger than mine, your fist is stronger than mine, and your official position is higher than mine, I would have beaten you to the point of finding your teeth today. Don't give me a chance to return to my official position, or else I must …"

"Sigh …" The man seemed to have thought of something and the words he wanted to continue were forcefully swallowed back into his stomach. The latter helplessly shook his head with a lonely expression.

The man turned around and saw that there was actually a table of wine outside the gate. There were only two people sitting at the table, a man and a woman. The man had a delicate and pretty face, and appeared to be only 18 or 19 years old.

At that moment, the person who had called out to him was the young man. The latter had a smile on his face as he looked at him with interest.

"Sir, are you calling me?" The man cupped his fists towards the young man and asked.

"Is there anyone else here?" The young man asked with a smile.

"Uh …" The man paused slightly before asking again, "May I know what Sir has called me here for?"

"Mister, I just feel that I'm on good terms with you. How about inviting you to have a drink with me?"

"Drink?" The man looked at the empty table and was puzzled. He thought to himself, "Is this person trying to make me happy?" He couldn't help but squint at the young man in front of him. He felt that this person looked familiar, but he couldn't tell where he had seen him before. However, the young man gave him a feeling that he bore no ill will.

Seeing that this person's eyes were constantly darting towards the table, Xiang Yun looked at the empty table and smiled in his heart.

"Mister, you don't have to worry. The food and wine will be served soon." Sure enough, just as Xiang Yun finished speaking, there were over ten servants carrying trays full of delicacies and delicacies. In an instant, they had actually filled up the entire table. The abundance of this delicacy was even greater than what he had seen in the garden.

Towards this, Xiang Yun only smiled indifferently. He casually picked up a cup of wine and gulped it down, his demeanor indifferent, his actions graceful and a little n.o.ble!

In the end, he resisted the temptation of the inedible wine as he walked over to Xiang Yun's side, sat down next to him across the table, and clasped his fists towards Xiang Yun once more, saying, "I am from the Northwest Blue Wind Nation, and I am sending you the 'Yue Sutra'!"

"Pfft!" Although this was not the first time he had heard this name, Xiang Yun could not help but spew out a mouthful of wine. Thankfully, he had long been prepared to turn his head over, otherwise he would probably have to endure all the food on this table.

It was not just Xiang Yun. Even Lin Wan'er, who had been hesitating on whether or not to stand up, could not help but blush when she heard this name. Her expression immediately turned strange.

The two of them were unable to conceal their unusual appearance. The man opposite of them, named Yue Jing, had naturally seen it clearly. The latter somewhat awkwardly and helplessly explained.

"Oh, so that's what it means." Xiang Yun pretended to be enlightened.

Upon hearing Xiang Yun address himself as Wei Xiaobao, Lin Wan'er thought that her son didn't want to reveal his real name to avoid losing face, so she obediently sat by the side without saying a word.

"Oh, so it's Brother Wei. I also think that Brother Wei is very lucky. I'm definitely going to drink today's wine." As Yue Jing said this, he couldn't help but glance once again at the table full of delicacies and gulps.

Immediately, the two of them did not care whether or not the banquet started, raising their wine cups and gulping down their wine, talking back and forth, eating large chunks of meat. Since there were only three people at the table, there was nothing for them to worry about.

Xiang Yun shook his head and covered his mouth with his hand, pretending to be mysterious as he whispered, "Brother Yue, you must be joking. I've only borrowed and dressed myself, the maid is my wife, I'm just a descendant of a fallen soldier. I had originally wanted to come in and admire the dignity of the King, but who would've thought that they wouldn't even let me in through the gate."

Upon hearing these words, Yue Jing did not reveal a look of contempt, but instead, fiercely downed a cup of wine, and revealed an angry expression. He said in a empathetic voice: "I did not expect that Brother Wei would be like me, not even qualified to sit in a garden."

"Back then, even if I wasn't able to sit in the Spring Pavilion, I could still sit in the Central Garden. I never would have thought that I could only sit outside of this Garden. My world is truly cold!" Yue Jing's face was filled with grief and indignation.

"Oh! From what Brother Yue said, could it be that Brother Yue once held a high position?" Xiang Yun asked in surprise, but there was no surprise in his eyes.

Sigh, I won't hide from Brother Wei. I was once a stately county magistrate of Qingfeng County and was in charge of the finances of the entire Qingfeng County. Now, I have become a courier that sends letters to the county magistrate of Qingfeng County.

In Xiang Yun's previous life, a country's land was the size of a province's land, and Yue Jing had once served as a county's land official, equivalent to a minister of the provincial finance department. His position was indeed not low, and both emails only came from the lowest official rank of the ninth rank.

Speaking up to here, Yue Jing actually drank three cups of wine in a row, almost choking to the point of tears flowing out.

Xiang Yun watched everything from the side, his heart feeling a little weak. A moment later, he suddenly said, "Brother Yue, it looks like your life really isn't easy. How about you follow brother and live your days together with me in the future?"

Hearing this, Xiang Yun smiled but did not reply!

"The prince has arrived!"

At this time, outside the east gate of the apricot tree garden, a clear voice suddenly rang out. The voice was not loud, but it instantly suppressed the noisy bustling of the apricot tree garden.

When they heard the voice, the originally bustling and noisy banquet seemed to instantly stop their chatting and laughter. Immediately, they all stood up at the same time and looked in the direction of the east gate!

Two white-haired elders followed behind him. One of them was tall, had brows like swords, eyes like tigers, and a vigorous spirit. His gait exuded a threatening aura, while the other old man was thin and fair.

At this moment, this group of people instantly attracted the attention of everyone present, especially the middle-aged man walking at the very front, who had a warm spring breeze and was filled with a refined aura.

However, no one dared to look him in the eye, because they all knew that this was a pair of eyes that had seen a thousand li of floating corpses, and their blood flowed like rivers! Although the latter looked harmless, even somewhat mild, a bloodthirsty and ferocious spirit resided in his body. The moment it appeared, blood would flow like a river and the world would tremble!

When the latter had just walked to the east gate of the apricot tree garden, the civil officials and military officials standing within the apricot tree, as well as the n.o.ble officials and guards, were like a surging tide, as countless figures prostrated on the ground and loudly shouted: "Welcome, King Jun'er! Your Highness, thousands of years, thousands of years! "

His voice was like a thunderclap that echoed throughout the apricot tree garden. It didn't stop for a long time. Aside from the fear in these people's voices, there was also a fanatical wors.h.i.+p! This man was enough to make them kneel in admiration!

When he heard the words' His Royal Highness has arrived ', Yue Jing, who had originally been eating and drinking happily, felt as if his head had been struck by thunder. When he heard the words' Your Royal Highness has arrived ', Yue Jing, who had been eating and drinking happily, felt as if his head had been struck by lightning.

In the next moment, like everyone else in the garden, Yue Jing kneeled in the direction of the east garden and kowtowed as he yelled, "Long live the King!"

The latter bowed deeply, turning around to discover that Brother Wei had never left his seat before. He crossed his legs, a gla.s.s in one hand, an abalone in the other, and stuffed it into Lin Wan'er's bowl beside him. He even turned his head to look at him, who had crawled up from the ground with great interest.

"There's a Spring Pavilion between here and the East Gate, and he can't see us. Why should I bow? Furthermore, I'm not familiar with him." Xiang Yun looked at his opponent as if it was a matter of course.
