Cai Yong was depressed, sighing and drinking cup after cup.
Jiang Chen opened his mouth to persuade him,"The clear will be clear, and the turbid will be turbid."”
"Uncle Cai, why do you care about what others think?”
Cai Yong drank another cup of wine." That's true, but…"
"Sigh! The general is not among them, so it is naturally difficult to understand my distress.”
Jiang Chen frowned slightly and was about to say something when Cai Yong picked up another glass of wine.
"Today, this old man invited General over, but I only cared about drinking and neglected General.”
"This old master will drink first as a form of respect and apologize to the general.”
Jiang Chen held Cai Yong's hand that was holding the wine glass with one hand.
"General, this is…" Cai Yong was slightly surprised.
"Today, although no one else came, Chen came!”
Jiang Chen said meaningfully.
" Yeah..." Cai Yong was a little confused." They didn't come, but the general came..."
He pondered for a moment and finally understood. He immediately raised his hand and said gratefully,"Thank you, General!"
"This old man was foolish!"
Jiang Chen was the only one who could prove Cai Yong's innocence.
The others might have some secret connection with Dong Zhuo.
However, Jiang Chen was Dong Zhuo's sworn enemy. He would never collude with Dong Zhuo if he openly implied that Dong Zhuo was a jackal in the court.
Since Jiang Chen came to attend the banquet, it meant that he trusted Cai Yong.
He believed that Cai Yong and Dong Zhuo had no collusion.
One had to know that Jiang Chen was an existence that even Dong Zhuo feared.
Since he stood on Cai Yong's side, the world would have to seriously consider their attitude towards Cai Yong.
Jiang Chen hurriedly supported him." This is such a small matter. Uncle Cai, why do you need to be so polite?”
"This is a small matter to the general, but to this old man, it is a huge matter!”
"General, please do not decline. Please accept this old man's bow!”
Cai Yong stood up and bowed.
This time, Jiang Chen didn't decline. He just helped Cai Yong up after he bowed.
The two of them sat at the table again.
Cai Yong's depression had also mostly disappeared.
He knew that as long as the news of Jiang Chen attending the banquet today spread, although not everyone would forgive him, there should be many people who would put aside their grudges.
After all, even Jiang Chen, who had always been at odds with Dong Zhuo, was willing to let go of the past and accept him. There was no reason for others to hate him anymore.
He picked up a cup of wine and smiled." General, this old man offers you a toast. Thank you for coming to the banquet today despite the prejudice of others."”
" Drinking is harmful to the body," Jiang Chen declined." Uncle Cai is already old. It's better to drink less."”
Cai Yong waved his hand." Although I'm over fifty years old, my body is still strong. It's fine to drink a few more cups.”
"Come, General, drink with me!”
Jiang Chen couldn't refuse, so he picked up his wine glass and drank with him.
"Hahaha! How painful!" Cai Yong laughed and said,"I haven't had such a good drink in a long time!"”
He cupped his hands at Jiang Chen." That Dong Zhuo is powerful. I'll have to rely on you in the future!"”
"These are all within my duties. I will do my best!”
Cai Yong nodded repeatedly, his eyes showing admiration: "Good, good, good!"
"With the general here, the Great Han Empire will have no worries!”
Jiang Chen nodded slightly and did not comment.
At this moment, the sound of a zither suddenly came from afar.
Jiang Chen could tell that this zither was played by the same person as the one at the pavilion by the lake.
However, the melody was even more sorrowful and ancient, making it hard to imagine that this piece was composed by a 14-or 15-year-old girl.
Cai Yong looked at Jiang Chen who was immersed in the music and smiled,"This is a memorial from my daughter, Cai Yan."
"General, did you hear something from it?”
" Sigh…" Jiang Chen sighed." Sad, helpless, and tearful…"
"It's hard to imagine that this is the work of a fourteen or fifteen year old girl!”
"Oh?" Cai Yong's expression flashed, a little surprised.
"General is actually so proficient in music that you can hear the hidden meaning?”
Jiang Chen smiled faintly and did not comment.
"Men!" Cai Yong waved at the butler outside the door." Go and call the young lady to play the piano for us."”
"Here!" The butler raised his hand and left in a hurry.
"Although my daughter is only a woman, she has some knowledge and has some minor attainments in music.”
"Since the general likes music, this old man will call her to play the zither.”
Cai Yong said proudly.
"Uncle Cai, you're so thoughtful." Jiang Chen thanked him. It's just that I'm afraid Miss is tired…"
"No problem, no problem." Cai Yong waved his hand.
After a while, Cai Yan, who was wearing a light green dress, walked over leisurely.
Although it was not the first time they met, Jiang Chen's eyes still lit up.
Different from Diao Chan's beauty, Cai Yan was more classical, dignified and beautiful.
Moreover, there was an indescribable liveliness on her body, which added a little charm to her.
It was as if she was in the intellectual beauty of a group of books.
Cai Yan raised his hand and saluted,"Daughter greets father."”
"Yes." Cai Yong replied and then said to Jiang Chen," This is my daughter Cai Yan, also known as Zhao Ji.”
Jiang Chen nodded.
Cai Yong then turned to Cai Yan and said,"This is the General of the West, Jiang Chen."”
"Aren't you going to greet the general?"
Cai Yan gave Jiang Chen a faint smile. He raised his hand and bowed, speaking in a light tone,"This little girl Cai Yan greets the general.”
"There's no need to be so polite, Miss," Jiang Chen said indifferently.”
"Zhao Ji, let's begin." Cai Yong said to Cai Yan.
"Yes."
The butler behind him placed the zither in front of Cai Yan.
Cai Yan's fair and delicate fingers landed on the strings, slowly sliding, and a beautiful and pleasant music was emitted.
The melody was deep, spiritual, and gentle.
The melody was bright, crisp, elegant, and simple.
Jiang Chen listened to Cai Yan's zither music as if he was standing beside a beautiful and quiet stream, as if he was standing on a lofty mountain.
His thoughts were like flowing clouds and flowing water, flowing quietly. They gradually drifted away, as if they were floating in the clouds.
Jiang Chen's eyes were still closed after he finished playing, as if he was still immersed in the music.
Cai Yong didn't disturb him and just waited quietly.
However, Cai Yan, who had just finished playing a song, took another look at Jiang Chen.
When the butler invited her to play the piano, he told her that a general who was proficient in music had heard her implied meaning. She didn't believe it, but now it seemed that it was true.
Ordinary people who didn't know music could only hear the surface of the zither music and couldn't hear the inner beauty of the zither music.
Now that the song was over, Jiang Chen was still immersed in the music.
Clearly, he had heard something.
Previously, he had heard the implication that his attainments in music were definitely not low.
Cai Yan couldn't help but become a little curious. Such a young general was valiant and invincible, making Dong Zhuo fearful was one thing, but he was actually so proficient in music.
West Middle General Jiang Chen was indeed extraordinary.
