"I saved Diao Chan's adoptive mother, and Diao Chan wants to repay me?”
Baili Ming muttered, still a little confused.
Those who often watched ancient dramas would know what it meant to tie the grass and tie the ring.
Even though he wouldn't be beaten to such a state by a beauty, Diao Chan was still one of the Four Great Beauties.
This name was really a little too resounding!
He couldn't just sit there and do nothing!
"Advisor Jun, what's wrong?"
At this moment, Sun Jian's voice sounded beside him.
Hearing this voice, Baili Ming immediately came back to his senses.
In an instant, countless noises entered his ears.
Raising his head, he saw Yuan Shao and the other ministers sitting together. They were already in the middle of a banquet.
After bidding farewell to Zu Mao, Baili Ming left the Hall of Creation and was informed that Sun Jian and the others had finished their sacrifice and had arrived at the Prime Minister's residence for the banquet.
Most of the buildings in Luoyang had more or less been burned, but the Prime Minister was still intact.
The heroes and ministers hated him, so they came here to hold a banquet to celebrate the victory of defeating Dong Zhuo.
At this moment, the banquet was filled with people toasting each other. It was very lively.
Faced with Sun Jian's concern, Baili Ming lowered his voice and said,
"My lord, there's something I have to say. After the banquet is over, let's return to the camp and talk!”
"Good!"
Seeing Baili Ming's serious tone, Sun Jian didn't ask any further and quickly nodded.
"Once the banquet is over, we will camp!”
Baili Ming nodded and responded. He thought to himself,'Now that I have the jade seal, the alliance should end!'
If he stayed for too long, things would definitely change. He had to find an excuse to leave quickly, so he said,
"Lord, it's time for us to leave!”
Sun Jian was stunned when he heard that.
"What do you mean?"
He tilted his head to the south, indicating Huainan.
"That's right!"
Baili Ming responded and wanted to say something, but a voice sounded beside him,
"Leave? Where is Brother Wentai going?“
He and Sun Jian were both shocked. They raised their heads and saw Kong Rong approaching them.
Seeing this, Baili Ming quickly smiled and said,"
"It's not that I'm going anywhere. It's just that I'm not feeling well and want to take my leave!”
"Mister wants to retreat?"
Kong Rong's eyes widened when he heard this, and his voice unconsciously raised, causing the entire place to fall silent.
Seeing this, Baili Ming knew that this was bad. He didn't want to attract attention, but why did this guy come!
But before he could argue, Kong Rong shook his head and said,
"It's a happy time now. How can Sir retreat?”
"Come, come, come. Let me toast Wentai and Mister!”
As soon as he said this, the scene that had just quieted down immediately became lively again. One by one, the heroes said,
"Wentai is a meritorious minister of the country. You can't retreat first!”
"Sir, you're young and talented. It's not like you can't drink!”
"Anyone can retreat, but the two of you can't!”
Everyone laughed, as if they were all in harmony.
The monarch and his subjects, who had not been valued before, had become the main characters of this banquet.
Sun Jian looked at Baili Ming helplessly.
Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Baili Ming could only raise his cup and say,
"I'm just a long history. How can I allow everyone to praise me so much? I'm very ashamed.”
After saying that, he raised his glass and downed it.
"Good!"
Kong Rong laughed loudly when he saw this.
The ministers and heroes were no longer cold and indifferent. They all smiled and said,
"Sir is too modest!"
"It's a great fortune for our Great Han Dynasty to have such a talented person like Ruo Zhong!”
Everyone laughed. Their words were either true or false, but no one refuted. After all, although he was young, he was very capable.
Who could refute a reputation that he had earned with his own abilities?
Cai Yong stroked his beard and smiled,"
"Ruo Zhong is talented, but he's not arrogant and acts steadily. It's extremely rare for him to be at this age!”
When the officials heard this, they all nodded in agreement.
Seeing Cai Yong speak, Baili Ming didn't dare to be arrogant and hurriedly said,
"Cai Gong praises me too much. What talent does Ming have? It's just a small skill!”
But when Cai Yong saw this, he stroked his beard and smiled, his eyes filled with admiration,"
"I didn't like it! I think Li Ruozhong is really a talented person in the country. He will be a famous minister in the future!”
Hearing Cai Yong's praise, Baili Ming repeatedly said he dared not.
"Humph!"
At this moment, an extremely uncoordinated cold snort sounded.
Everyone's expression changed when they heard this. They looked at the source of the voice and saw Yuan Shu slowly stand up. He said disdainfully,
"Our general is still humble, and a brat dares to joke around here.”
"Since you only care about the chief historian, I will take my leave!”
After saying that, he directly got off his seat and walked out.
When the officials saw this, they were all stunned. Sun Jian slammed the table and shouted coldly,
"Yuan Gonglu, what do you mean by this?”
"I haven't settled the score with you for the deduction of rations that day. Now that Duke Cai has praised Ruo Zhong, you're here to make a fuss. What do you mean?”
Sun Jian's anger caused the situation to turn grim.
Hearing that, Yuan Shu sneered,"
"Good, good grandson.| Wentai, that day when you sent troops north, if not for my support, where would you have the money and food to send troops?”
"Now that you've obtained battle merits, you've grown in ability?”
"What, you want to touch me?"
"I, Yuan Gonglu, am here.”
"Do you think I don't dare?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Jian drew his sword and pointed it at Yuan Shu.
As soon as he said this, the guards outside the hall heard the sound and rushed into the hall.
As the group of personal guards entered, Yuan Shu's pupils immediately constricted. However, he still said unwillingly,
"Come on, if you want to kill, then kill!"
"You're courting death!"
Sun Jian snorted coldly, his face turning cold as he walked towards Yuan Shu with his sword in hand.
Seeing this, Yuan Shu didn't show any fear on his face, but he couldn't help but slowly retreat.
When the heroes and ministers in the hall saw this, they knew that Sun Jian had a bold personality. They were afraid that Sun Jian would really kill Yuan Shu, so they hurriedly stood up to persuade him.
When Yuan Shao saw this, he also stood up and advised,
"Hey, this is a happy time. The two of you must be drunk!”
"General Yuan is drunk. Men, help General Yuan back to the camp!”
After saying that, he picked up a glass of wine and said to Sun Jian,"
"Wentai, calm down. Don't fuss over it with him!”
As he spoke, a few of Yuan Shao's soldiers walked over and said to Yuan Shu,"
"General, let's go!"
Seeing this, Yuan Shu shot a sinister glance at Sun Jian before coldly snorting and leaving.
Seeing Yuan Shu leave, Sun Jian kept the sword and took Yuan Shao's wine without saying a word.
Seeing the awkward situation, Yuan Shao forced a smile and said,
"When we drank when we were young, we were also like this. When we were drunk, we were all like this. Everyone, continue!”
"On such a beautiful day, you can't stop enjoying yourself!”
As he spoke, he felt that something was wrong. Where was Cao Cao, the peacemaker today?
He turned around and smiled at Cao Cao,"
"Meng De, say something too!"
However, just as he finished speaking, Cao Cao stood up sadly and said,
"Since everyone has no intention of attacking Dong, then Cao will also go!”
With that, he stood up with a gloomy expression and walked out.
"Where is Meng De going?"
Seeing that Cao Cao was about to leave, Yuan Shao was shocked.
Why is it always like this today!
Hearing this, Cao Cao turned around and sneered,"
"Where to?"
"Go after Dong Zhuo!"
"Now that Thief Dong has gone west, we can take advantage of the situation to chase after him. During the day, you said that you would chase after him, but now you're having a banquet here.
When everyone heard this, they all remained silent.
Yuan Shao looked at Cao Cao coldly and said,"
"Meng De, what do you mean by this? We didn't say we weren't going!”
"Just resting for a moment, how is that guilty?”
"Moreover, we have already attacked Luoyang. It won't be too late to wait for a few days to rest before we enter.”
"Rest for a few days?"
When Cao Cao heard this, his gloomy eyes suddenly widened in anger.
"Thief Dong burned the palace and kidnapped the emperor. The sea is shaking. Now is the time to pursue, but you are hesitating!”
"Where is the Son of Heaven? Where are the three dukes?”
"Why are you celebrating at this banquet?”
After saying that, he looked around the hall and said,
"Now that I want to take advantage of the situation to deal with the thief, who is willing to go with me?”
Everyone was silent.
Sun Jian was about to say something when he saw this, but he was stopped by Baili Ming.
When Cao Cao saw this, he laughed in despair,
"Sun| Wentai just fought yesterday, if you don't go there is still something to say, why don't you go?”
Without waiting for everyone to respond, he said angrily to everyone,
"This brat is not worth scheming with!"
After saying this, he left in anger.
Seeing this, everyone in the hall's expression darkened once again, and they no longer had the joy from before.
Seeing this, Baili Ming gave Sun Jian a look.
Sun Jian understood and stood up with cupped hands.
"In that case, everyone can continue. Jian is tired, so he will return to the camp to rest.”
Then, he left with Baili Ming.
As the three of them left one after another, the entire banquet fell silent.
Yuan Shao stood rooted to the ground in a daze. After a long time, he rubbed his eyes in frustration and said weakly,
"Sigh, this banquet can't continue. Let's go, let's go!”
