Sure enough, the banquet had been set up in the mansion, and several people took their seats in order.

After a little bit of food, Murong Yi picked up the wine pot, poured a glass of wine for Xiao Jinglan, and raised his glass and said, "The Northern Liang Tuoba Lie's ambition is a bad intention. If he ascended the throne successfully, it will be unfavorable to me. The Qin King made a clever plan and let Tuoba Le go, so that the Northern Liang brothers had no time to look south and made great contributions. I respected the King of Qin with a cup."

Xiao Jinglan raised his wine glass and said quietly: "Northern Liang went south, and the Xiao family army was the first to be hit. I am just doing my duty."

After saying that, without waiting for Murong Yi to say anything, he looked up and drank the wine in the glass.

Murong Yi tightened the cup with his fingers, but said nothing and drank this cup.

He poured another cup and raised his glass and said, "First public and then private, the Qin King's leg injury will be healed, and the light of the Great Qin will appear again. You can continue to serve the court in the future. It is also a blessing for my Western Qin. I respect the Qin King."

Xiao Jinglan turned the wine glass a few times with his slender fingers and said, "I have been disabled for six years and my mind has disappeared. What I think now is just a happy life with my beloved."

After saying that, he also drank all the wine in his glass without stopping.

Murong Yi held the cup tighter with his fingers, but he could only deliver the wine glass to his mouth and drink it slowly.

Murong Yi said that Xiao Jinglan was making contributions to the country and hinted that he would continue to serve the court, but Xiao Jinglan fought and said that he was for the Xiao family army and had no intention of doing things for the court again.

Sure enough, has the conflict between the royal family and the Qin Palace really reached an irreconcilable state?

Murong Yi poured the third glass of wine, raised his glass to Xiao Jinglan, and said in a deep voice: "This third glass of wine is to ask the King of Qin when he plans to return to Beijing?"

At this point, any polite words are meaningless, and there is only a straightforward and simple approach.

Xiao Jinglan picked up the wine glass with three fingers and said in a low voice: "The Xiao family army has been guarding the northeastern border for generations, and I should inherit the will of our ancestors."

That means, I won’t go back!

Xiao Jinglan has left Beijing, and the Qin Palace in Kyoto must have become an empty city.

Originally, he was a sick tiger whose claws were cut off and his teeth were broken. He was locked in a cage in the capital. But even so, the tiger's power was fearful and he did not dare to act rashly.

Now, the tiger has grown claws again and has sharpened its teeth. If the tiger returns to the mountain, will Xiqin have a peaceful day?

Murong Yi finally didn't drink this last glass of wine. He just looked at Xiao Jinglan for a moment, and Xiao Jinglan also looked at Murong Yi. Neither of them looked very intense, but the people present had a feeling of swords and swords and wars rising.

There is no knife in your hand, but there is a knife in your heart.

The best prince of the royal family and the most outstanding powerful minister of the Western Qin finally faced each other in this small mansion for the first time.

"Eunuch Cheng, give your father's will to the King of Qin." Murong Yi said coldly.

As an imperial envoy, Cheng was lucky enough to accompany him, but the closer he was to the center of the storm, the greater the pressure he felt. At this time, cold sweat had already dripped from his forehead, and he wished he had never received this job.

But when Murong Yi spoke, he had to do it, so he had to take out the imperial edict from his sleeve and said, "King of Qin Xiao Jinglan received the edict."

Xiao Jinglan raised his eyebrows slightly, put down his wine glass and stood up, bowed and said, "My minister, Xiao Jinglan welcomed the imperial edict."

He has a noble status and does not worship the emperor even when he sees him, let alone an imperial edict.

Feng Wuyou also stood up and stood silently half a step behind Xiao Jinglan.

"The Emperor Zhaowen of the Great Qin Dynasty issued an edict saying, "Xiao Jinglan had no edict to leave the capital, and he was rude. When he saw the edict, he immediately returned to the capital, and I admire him!"

After reading it, he closed the imperial edict and handed it to Xiao Jinglan with both hands, and said, "Please accept the imperial edict, King Qin."

Xiao Jinglan smiled and took the imperial edict with one hand.

If it were someone else, Eunuch Cheng would curse him on the spot and punish him for being disrespectful. But the person who did this was Xiao Jinglan. Eunuch Cheng would only dare to follow the agreement with Murong Yi yesterday and said with a thorn in the air: "Since the King of Qin has received the order, how dare you ask when the King of Qin will return to Beijing?"

Xiao Jinglan weighed the imperial edict in his hand and said, "Eunuch Cheng, the border military is heavy, and I have not taken care of it for another six years. I also asked my father-in-law to go back and report to the emperor, saying that when the border military is handled properly, I will return to Beijing."

"How can the King of Qin be like this!" Eunuch Cheng said hurriedly: "The emperor's imperial edict has been stated, please ask the King of Qin to return to the capital immediately!"

Xiao Jinglan smiled indifferently and said, "The general is outside, and the king will not accept the order. Could it be that the father-in-law Cheng wants to rob me back?"

Eunuch Cheng's expression suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but take a step back.

How dare he! This is Yanyun's territory, Xiao Jinglan's territory. If Xiao Jinglan wants to kill him, he doesn't even have to move his fingers. With just a wink, someone will definitely do this.

"Your Highness King Yi..." Helplessly, Eunuch Cheng could only look at Murong Yi.

He and Xiao Jinglan are not on the same level at all, there is nothing we can do about it.

Murong Yi kept watching this scene coldly. At this moment, he did not go to see Xiao Jinglan, but instead looked at Feng Wuyou.

"Princess Qin, I once said something to you, does Princess Qin still remember it?"

Feng Wuyou frowned slightly.

Murong Yi had said a lot to her, but she knew very well what Murong Yi was asking now.

It was during the hunting time. On the eve of the group battle, Murong Yi came to her and said to her: The Western Qin Dynasty will be peaceful for one day, and the Qin Palace will be peaceful for one day.

He was promising to her that as long as the Qin Palace does not do anything that threatens the Western Qin Dynasty, he can protect the Qin Palace for the Taiping Palace for the rest of his life.

But, is this really what Xiao Jinglan wants?

Is a tiger to be kept in a cage just to live a peaceful life?

Xiao Jinglan’s father and brother’s hatred, his mother’s hatred, and so many hatreds from the Xiao family’s soldiers, can he really let it go?

If you don’t offend me, I won’t offend others. If someone offends me, I won’t forgive you.

Before the Ji family died, they had been with her for several days, but she couldn't even let go of such a grudge, and what Xiao Jinglan lost was his closest relatives.

What Murong Yi thought was too beautiful.

She shook her head gently and said, "Prince Yi, I appreciate your kindness, but I am Princess Qin."

I am the Princess of Qin.

The five words that were gentle and faint, expressed Feng Wuyou's position more firmly than any words.

Because she is the Princess Qin and Xiao Jinglan's wife, she would choose to stand on Xiao Jinglan's side without hesitation.

Because she is the Princess of Qin and the mistress of the Prince of Qin's Mansion, she will never return to the interests of the Xiao family army.

Murong Yi clenched his teeth tightly, and his heart felt like he was shot by thousands of arrows.

He had known it for a long time, but he still couldn't help it, holding a trace of expectation.

Only by listening to Feng Wuyou's words in person can he give up completely.

Xiao Jinglan stretched out his hand and gently held Feng Wuyou's hand.

This hand is very small and soft, but it is never weak.

Whenever he is in a desperate situation, as long as this hand appears, he will always give him a glimmer of hope.

This is his Xiao Jinglan’s woman!

Feng Wuyou was stared at by Xiao Jinglan's gaze and had to turn his head to look at him, and said softly: "Stop looking."

It was obvious that Murong Yi and he were at odds, but suddenly turned to look at her, which was too disrespectful to each other.

Xiao Jinglan smiled, followed the good deeds and said, "Okay."

In the past, he faced the rain of guns and arrows in front of him alone, and did not dare to retreat for a second. He took a step back and was in the abyss. He was always trembling, walking on thin ice, fearing that if he could not hold on to the point of falling down one day, he would be crushed to pieces.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that his back was no longer empty, because he knew that even if he took a step back, Feng Wuyou would steadily support him from behind.

But the more this happens, the more he cannot retreat.

His little phoenix is ​​so good, how can he bear to let her suffer?

"I have received the imperial edict. The imperial envoy can bring my reply to the emperor. When will you leave and return to the capital, just inform me of me. I will serve wine to see you off for you."

At this time, Xiao Jinglan's attitude was not hidden at all. He did not intend to return to Beijing at all.

Murong Yi took a deep breath, suppressed the pain in his heart, and said, "King Qin, let me speak with you."

The father’s arrangement was indeed not useless. In the end, he would still have to use that step.

Feng Wuyou frowned slightly, Murong Yi's expression was calm and confident, as if he was sure that Xiao Jinglan would definitely return to Beijing with him.

What is in his hands, why is he so confident?

The hands that were shaking with Xiao Jinglan couldn't help but tighten for a moment.

Xiao Jinglan noticed it and patted her gently with his other hand, signaling her not to worry, and then said to Murong Yi: "Then please come with me."

As he said that, he walked towards a room first.

Before, Xiao Jinglan lived in the Li Mansion when he was alone in Yiyang City, and he was not unfamiliar with it.

Xiao Jinglan took him to the study room of Li's mansion, waved his hand casually and closed the door, and asked, "What do you want to tell me?"

Murong Yi tightened the corners of his lips and was silent for a moment before saying, "King Qin, do you still want to see your mother again?"

...

After a while, Xiao Jinglan slashed the door with his palm and walked out from inside.

His steps were extremely fast and rushed, as if he had been hit by a very serious impact, and even the people around him didn't care about taking a look.

Xiao Jinglan left for a while before Murong Yi walked out of the study.

As soon as I went out, I saw a person standing in the yard.

Feng Wuyou stood in front of the study gate and looked at him calmly.

Murong Yi was stunned at first, then said as if he had given up something: "Have you heard it all?"

Naturally, there would be no secret Pavilion in Li Demin's study. Feng Wuyou was in the secret Pavilion just now, and she could hear all the conversations between Murong Yi and Xiao Jinglan clearly.

Murong Yi privately talked to Xiao Jinglan about this matter, and wanted to leave a last good impression in front of Feng Wuyou, but now, there is no small hope left.

Feng Wuyou did not deny that Murong Yi actually had a handle that could threaten Xiao Jinglan. If she didn't figure it out, she would be unable to feel at ease no matter what.

But no matter how much she guessed, she would never have expected that Xiao Jinglan's mother was still alive, and it was in the hands of the emperor.
