Confucius said it well, happy days always pass quickly. When the sun sets, the two drove the sheep back to the city.

I didn't see Qi Jiang and Xiao Hu in the morning, and they were not there in the evening. I asked, Qi Jiang took Xiao Hu back to her parents' home, and it would take two or three days to come back.

Xu Yang was not inconvenient to stay for too long, so he said goodbye to Ah Qing and returned to Yue Palace.

As soon as he entered the gate of Yue Palace, a friend of the same swordsman came to him hurriedly and told him something not very good.

The people of Wu are here.

Yes, I don’t know if it was the unhealthy trend of Xu Yang’s small butterfly flapping its wings that stirred up the storm in the Wu Palace hundreds of miles away, or some other reason. In short, the people of Wu came more than ten days in advance.

The people of Wu, including the pedestrians of Wu and the swordsmen of Wu, were arranged to live in the pedestrian pavilion two streets north of Yue Palace. I think they would not have any interaction with the swordsmen of Yue in a short period of time.

Well, hope. (Note 1)

Xu Yang was afraid that they would come too early, so the Wu Yue Swordsman Competition would be advanced. After all, he only learned the first level of Yue Girl Sword. Although the probability of winning is already very high, Xu Yang is still a very cautious person. He hopes to learn the second or even the third level before the sword competition. First, there is more chance of winning, and second, Yue Girl Sword Art, as a special ability, can be brought to other worlds in the future, including the main world where he is.

So, as an otaku who was originally powerless in the main world, he became a martial arts master. I am really looking forward to it...

Xu Yang decided to be low-key, and he must be low-key. Although his mood was like a heifer on the plane before... He was awesome and tall, at this moment, he decided to be a low-key handsome man. The kingly way of breeding vulgarity is to avoid being slutty.

However, this very important word appears again, but do you think Xu Yang can be low-key if he wants to be low-key?

You are wrong.

Not long after Xu Yang returned to his bedroom, he had not had time to consider what to eat for breakfast tomorrow among the three major problems in life, the envoy with a poker face and a proud attitude came again and informed him to attend the evening reception banquet for the King of Yue to invite the Wu Kingdom pedestrians and the Wu Kingdom swordsmen. Xu Yang knew that there was a big trouble.

As a master with unique skills, like a fireflies in the dark, they are definitely easily visible to those who are interested. What should I do?

Being exposed is not a big deal, but things that are troubled after being exposed. I am also learning swordsmanship with Ah Qing. How can I keep a low profile after being paid attention to by someone who is interested? What if there is any situation before the competition? How can I feel so much trouble?

So Xu Yang decided that since he could not be low-key, then don’t be low-key. Pretend to show off, you must show off, so that others think they can only pretend, so that they can only pretend. Then that’s a solution?

So Xu Yang began to dress himself up, put the most expensive jade hairpin on his head (the one on the bottom of the box), the most expensive jade pendant on his waist (the one borrowed from Ling Guyi), the most gorgeous formal outfit (the one asked for the poker-faced envoy), the most awesome Yue King Goujian sword (eh, this one is his own), and looked at the bronze mirror, well, full marks!

Seeing that the time is almost over, Xu Yang swayed to the reception banquet. Why do you want to say sway? Xu Yang's current outfit is a big gold chain and a small gold watch in the cliff of his future generations. He is the style of a rich man. How can he reflect his sway if he doesn't sway?

Then, there is nothing.

Xu Yang found that he was arranged in the last position of the last row of the banquet, and no one could see it if he didn't look carefully.

Think about it, it’s good that he could get in with a small swordsman, and he would have a good position to think of...

Xu Yang suddenly became Sparta. It was really bad to regard himself as too high. After all, he was just a little supporting role.

The people of Wu cannot see him, which does not mean that the civil and military officials of Yue cannot see him, especially the one sitting next to him, who is already the most inconspicuous among the ministers of Yue, and then he found that he had a seat under him.

At first, he thought he had promoted another trivial official recently, and was secretly happy that he was not at the bottom of the house in the future. Then, when he saw Xu Yang, he was shocked. He was actually a rich man... We are a friend, and the rich man is asking for support!

Xu Yang didn't notice it at first. After the banquet began, everyone realized when they toasted each other, "Damn, a middle-aged man with a vulgar appearance, a vulgar figure and a more vulgar expression, keeps glaring at him?"

"Well, this is the subordinate of the company. How dare you ask where the superior officials' position?" asked the despicable middle-aged man.

"Well, this name seems to be bad for your health." Xu Yang muttered.

"What Shangguan said, I didn't hear clearly."

Xu Yang replied a little embarrassedly: "Nothing, nothing, I'm just muttering myself, Master Sigong, I'm a swordsman."

"Yi Jianshi? Is it a newly established official position?" Zao Qi explained himself, but did not ask much, and could only toast: "Drinking for success!"

It was not easy to refuse. After drinking a few entries in a daze, Xu Yang turned his gaze to the main hall. (Note 2)

At this time, the travelers in Wu seemed to have drunk a lot, and raised their glasses to respect King Yue: "The King of Yue is above, and I will respect King Yue again. The King of Wu is about to raise his troops. I wish me, Wu to dominate the world. If the King of Yue is fortunate to participate in such a major event, the King of Wu will be rewarded for the King of Wu and can also honor his ancestors for this. Isn't such a beautiful thing worth drinking a title? Drinking victory!" After saying that, he didn't look at Goujian and drank it all in one go.

Goujian was indeed very well cultivated. He held back his anger, but he smiled and said loudly: "I wish my Great Wu dominate the world, and I wish my King Fuchai of Wu!" He also drank it all in one go, but he seemed to be a little anxious, coughing repeatedly, and his face suddenly turned red.

The Wu Kingdom traveler seemed to be really drunk. He held the Kong Jue in his hand and pointed at Gou Jian from afar and laughed. The Wu Kingdom swordsmen who accompanied him also laughed loudly, very rude.

The ministers of the Yue Kingdom were all angry, but Goujian's cold eyes were swept away and he didn't dare to do anything. He had to drink a few ounces of fine wine, and his face was flushed.

Xu Yang smiled. At this time, the fine wines between Wu and Yue were shallow rice wine. Not to mention the white wines in later generations, they were even worse than the ordinary three-year and five-year old in later generations. The alcohol content and taste were much worse.

With this kind of low-alcohol wine, it would be impossible to survive after a few entries. It seems that the ancestors of Wu Yue had a very poor alcohol tolerance.

As an old driver who tested alcohol in later generations, Xu Yang said that when it comes to alcohol, it is not about which one you are here. Everyone here is a hot chicken.

However, he admired Goujian's cultivation very much. The naked ridicule of Wu's travelers not only pointed out that King Yue was a puppet and a subordinate of King Wu, but even the ancestors of King Yue were involved. Goujian could still laugh... This face and cultivation would be impossible for Xu Yang to catch up with his ten lives.

Master Sigong seemed to be drunk, and lay on the table and murmured: "Sooner or later, kill this beast, sooner or later..."

It’s hard to tell that this Lord Zao Qi has a slutty face and is still a patriot in his heart.

Think about it, in the Spring and Autumn Period, almost all officials were born from nobles, and this country was everything to them, and it was impossible not to love them.

Even if a person who is judged as a so-called treacherous minister by history books must do things based on the premise of maintaining his own country. As for those slanderous ministers in later generations, it would be better not to talk about them.

At this time, Goujian slowly stood up, bowed and gave a salute to the travelers in Wu State, and said, "I can't bear to drink, so please let the travelers take their own care. I will take my leave first." After that, without waiting for the people in Wu State to return the salute, he turned around and entered the harem.

The travelers in Wu State laughed loudly, unconsciously offending the people of Yue State.

But then again, he was not afraid of offending these useless people in his eyes.

Note 1: Passerman: The common name for diplomatic personnel in the Spring and Autumn Period, here refers to the position of a small pedestrian who was sent to the State of Wu to the State of Yue. The "Zhou Li·Qiu Guan Si Bang" belongs to a large pedestrian who is in charge of the etiquette of receiving guests. There are also small pedestrians with a slightly lower position. The large pedestrians are in charge of the ceremony of receiving princes and princes. The small pedestrians are in charge of the ceremony of receiving princes and envoys, and they are envoys to all directions. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, all countries have set up.
