Yesterday, Ao Bai had already asked Dragon Shadow to send out the invitation.
Therefore, after the morning court session, four of the Eight Banners had already left the Ao Bai Residence and were drinking tea and chatting in the living room.
When they saw the mighty Ao Bai striding over, they all stepped forward and bowed respectfully."My lord."
Of course, there was one exception, and that was Ao Bai's father-in-law, Wanyan Ha Er Gu.
As the Chief Flag of the Red Flag, he was also an old man in the court. He was a scholar in the East Pavilion, a scholar-bureaucrat, and a second-grade official.
The most important thing was that he was Oboi's father-in-law. His daughter had been married to Guaerjia for fifteen years, but it was rumored that Oboi did not have a child with her daughter. For fifteen years, he did not give birth to a son or a daughter. This made the Wanyan family lose face, especially when his daughter went out and was laughed at. She also lost face.
Therefore, Wanyan Ha Ergu never gave Ao Bai a good face.
Ao Bai waved his hand at the others, then walked to Wanyan Ha Er Gu and sat down."Father-in-law, I know that my son-in-law has made Qiu Qiu suffer and made you lose face, but I promise that I won't do it again in the future.”
"Today, I called father-in-law over because I have something important to discuss with him. I hope father-in-law won't use this as an excuse to make a fuss. Otherwise, we won't be able to face each other.”
The first few words sounded like an apology, but the latter sounded like a threat.
Even though he could apologize to his daughter, he could only say a few words because he was Ao Bai.
How could he do his best for others? He was someone who did not even give face to the current Emperor, Kangxi.
When Wanyan Ha Ergu heard the words in front of him, he was still full of gratification. He felt a little surprised. Ao Bai, this big old man, when did he learn to be flexible and say good things?
However, in the next second, his happy mood instantly turned gloomy. He slapped the wooden coffee table with his big hand, tilting the teacup and splashing tea everywhere.
"Guaerjia Oboi, I'm not old, but I'm older than you. No matter what, I'm your father-in-law. How dare you be rude to me?”
Wanyan Ha Ergu's chest was heaving up and down. He looked at Ao Bai with anger. He waved his sleeves and strode out of the door.
"Father-in-law, wait a moment. Let me explain.”Ao Bai chuckled and gave the Thirteen Eagles a look.
The thirteen of them left quickly and then closed the door. The living room was so tightly surrounded that even mosquitoes could not fly in.
"Father-in-law, I intentionally provoked you just now so that some people would spread the news and let some people know.”
Ao Bai walked to the seat of honor and sat down. He waved his hand and said,"Don't stand on ceremony. Everyone, take your seats."
After everyone was seated, Oboi slowly said,"I think the news of my assassination attempt in Yangzhou has already spread throughout the capital, right?”
"Milord, how can those clowns be a match for Milord? They are just clay chickens and pottery dogs.”One of the commanders frowned and said.
"Haha, haha!"
Ao Bai laughed heartily."That's right. Those people are indeed useless. However, there is an organization among the people that is quite capable. They are known as the Heaven and Earth Society. Their chief, Chen Jinnan, is rumored to be a peerless martial artist.”
Wanyan Ha Ergu's brows were tightly knitted. As expected of an old Jianghu man. Ao Bai had only said a few words, but he seemed to have understood something. His expression changed a little, but it was quickly hidden.
"The Old Fox Fruit is an old fox."
Of course, these things couldn't be hidden from Ao Bai, who had been paying attention to Wanyan Haergu. The fleeting change was firmly caught by Ao Bai's eyes. Ao Bai saw that the old man was hiding, but he didn't say anything. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he said again,"Kang Xi is just a little kid in his teens. As long as we join forces, he can't do anything to us. So, the most troublesome ones are Dorgon and Prince Pingzhi. They're always going against me and trying to catch me.”
Ao Bai paused for a moment, then smiled wickedly and continued,"So, I want father-in-law to cooperate with me and put on a show. Give them a chance to jump out on their own.”
"What do you want to do?" Wanyan Ha Ergu frowned and said in a deep voice,"Even if you and I make a scene, Dorgon and Hong Yang won't believe us.”
"Father-in-law, the stage has already been set up. It's not up to them to get into the act or wait for the stage.”Ao Bai smiled evilly, his eyes flashing.
Wanyan Ha Ergu frowned." I am old. I don't want to make wild guesses. What plan do you have? Be direct. Don't beat around the bush."”
Oboi smiled knowingly." Yesterday, I went to visit Dorgon and invited him to my banquet, but he postponed it with the excuse that he was unwell. I went up to him and gave him a punch. He didn't resist in order to hide himself. So, if he's not sick now, he's sick."”
After saying this, Ao Bai's eyes sparkled, while Wanyan Ha Er Gu's eyes sparkled.
The two foxes, one big and one small, looked at each other and smiled.
