So the two invited Xu Ding to a banquet at Baihualou.
Xu Ding came late that night.
"Your Highness, we meet again. We are really destined." Xu Ding said with a smile:
"Xu hasn't thanked the two highnesses for the things they gave to Xiaoyao City. Today, I will be the host, and I will definitely have a good drink with the two highnesses."
"Hehe, it's really an honor that Consort Xu still remembers the two of us, how dare you spend the money." Zhu Di laughed and said:
"At first, I thought that Prince Xu was busy with government affairs and didn't have time to come here. It seems that the two of us still have a lot of face. Let's toast the prince and congratulate him on his bright future and prosperous journey."
"You're welcome! You're welcome, the words of your Highnesses are justified. You and I are friends at the end of the world. How dare your Highnesses refuse an invitation? Xu Mou made the Sanbei cup by himself, which is regarded as a welcome for the two Highnesses. "Xu Ding picked up the wine glass and drank it down.
After drinking three cups in a row, Zhao Zheng said: "Heartless, I didn't have a good drink with Brother Bokang last time, I will definitely not get drunk today, come back!"
"Come on!" Judy also showed approval.
You must know that the wine this time is not the Xiqin wine from last time, but the high-grade liquor produced in Xiaoyao City.
Strong and mellow, so easy to get drunk.
He didn't expect Xu Ding to drink so much.
The three of them toasted and drank, and then talked about the old days, each talking about what happened around them after the separation.
As he talked, he was drawn to Dong Tang and Zhong Zhou.
But when it came to this point, Xu Ding almost started the topic, and resolutely did not mention Zhong Zhou's affairs, let alone Zhong Zhou's attitude.
This made Zhao Zheng and Zhu Di's hearts itch like shoes, which was very uncomfortable.
Finally, Zhu Di gave Zhao Zheng a wink, and Zhao Zheng put his hand on Xu Ding's shoulder, raised his glass and said, "Bokang, I heard that you have been making big moves in Zhongzhou recently. The change is all made by you alone, which is really enviable and admirable."
"Your Highness, don't be joking. My country is about to perish in Da Zhou. Where is the change? I, Xu Bokang, am just a small city lord. Besides, I cannot serve the country at the top, and I cannot comfort the people at the bottom." Xu Ding drank the wine in his glass again. , and murmured:
"Ashamed! Ashamed!"
"Bokang is really humble. Now everyone in the world doesn't know the king. Who doesn't know that Bokang led the reform of the Great Zhou Empire? , business, and other talents, Bokang's virtuous name has spread all over the country, and Zhongzhou will definitely belong to Bokang in the future." Zhu Di tentatively said with a smile.
Xu Ding shook his head like a rattle, and muttered: "No, no, no! Your highnesses are just kidding. I just received some small errands. I rely on your majesty's trust. The future Zhongzhou belongs to the whole world. It's a pity that Beiman is about to go south, and my country is about to perish in Dazhou, so I won't be able to have a drink with the two Highnesses in Haojing from now on."
Xu Ding shook his head and sighed for a while, then stood up, looking like he was about to fall, but he still stabilized his body with Zhao Zheng's shoulders, and then said:
"If there is still a chance, I think the two Highnesses can go to Xiaoyao City in the future. I hope that my companions in Dazhou will not fall. God is not open, my people in Dazhou have always been aloof from the world. , yearning for peace, has always been the place where people all over the world yearn to live, but now it is about to be destroyed, hey"
With a long sigh, before Zhu Di and Zhao Zheng could answer, Xu Ding suddenly fell down and fell asleep on the wooden floor.
To be honest, Zhu Di and Zhao Zheng also drank a little too much, and their heads were also dizzy.
Seeing Xu Ding fell down, shaking his head, the two looked at each other and smiled wryly.
After drinking so much wine tonight, my stomach was about to vomit, but in the end I still couldn't make out what I promised.
I don't know if what Xu Ding said is true or false, or if it is both true and false.
The next day, the two held a simple meeting, and then asked for an appointment at night, but it was not in Baihualou, but in the embassy.
Xu Ding did not refuse, and still came on time.
This time, the two of them did not dare to serve wine, but to drink tea.
"Your Highnesses are really good-natured." Seeing that it was tea, Xu Ding smiled brightly. To be honest, drinking too much alcohol hurt his stomach.
Working so hard for Da Zhou is also a lot of work.
Zhu Di said: "We are just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha. This tea is also produced in Bokang, your Xiaoyao City."
Zhu Di personally made tea for the two of them, looking like a veteran, it can be seen that after the new tea came out, Zhu Di really put in a lot of effort.
After taking a sip of tea, Xu Ding said: "Your Highness is very skilled. This tea is like endowing a soul in His Highness's hands. The originally bitter tea is like drinking honey water. It really makes people feel at ease."
"Ebokang laughed." Zhu Di was taken aback, he had never seen such a brazen person, this flattery was not sincere at all, so he could only laugh awkwardly.
Zhao Zheng on the side almost couldn't hold back.
However, he also looked puzzled. Today's Xu Ding is a little different. Compared with yesterday, the difference is too great.
"No smile, no smile." Xu Ding sat down his teacup, waited for Judy to refill the tea for him, and then said:
"I know that your highnesses have come all the way from their respective countries. There must be something important. I don't know if your highnesses are here. I can help you. I drank a lot yesterday, so I forgot to ask. Feel sorry."
Damn, did you really forget, or did you deliberately leave us alone.
Zhao Zheng and Zhu Di slandered for a while, and they could tell that this must be an old fox.
But the two of them would not show it, Zhu Di said: "There is nothing important for the two of us to come here, one is that I miss Brother Bokang, and the other is that I heard something big happened in Zhongzhou, come and have a look, I, Da Ming and Da Qin are both Shang Kingdoms, and Da Zhou has always been good-neighborly and friendly, and I know that Da Zhou has changed, so I come here to express my condolences."
"Hehe, I must thank the two Highnesses for your concern here. I, Xu Ding, and Da Zhou are doing well." Xu Ding patted his chest and said:
"The Great Zhou is peaceful and the people are stable. The so-called prosperity of the country and the people's safety are really due to the concern of Da Ming and Da Qin. Your two highnesses can go back and report to His Majesty the Emperor of your country with peace of mind. Let them rest assured that the Great Zhou is still the Great Zhou. We will always be in the same place." He is the friend and admirer of Da Ming and Da Qin."
Damn, yesterday you said that your country was going to perish in Dazhou, and you were crying.
Today, it is said that the country is peaceful and the people are safe.
Believe me, you bastard, you are a very bad old man.
Zhao Zheng and Zhu Di couldn't understand Xu Ding's routine for a while.
What is this guy trying to do?
"Hehe, as long as it's okay, as long as it's okay!" Zhu Di and Zhao Zheng laughed perfunctorily.
Xu Ding said: "Why, the two Highnesses don't believe it?"
Zhao Zheng finally couldn't bear it and said: "Bokang and the Tang Kingdom have withdrawn the northern protective formation. You Dazhou are really fine. Tell us, don't wrong yourself. If there is anything we can help, we must be busy. The Eastern Tang Empire is petty, but I, Daqin, are very magnanimous, and the worst thing I can do is to see my friends in trouble."
Zhao Zheng said it swearingly, with the look of a friend who is in trouble, and we will attack both sides.
Xu Ding shook his head and said: "Your Highness is really fine, isn't it just a big formation to protect the city? If there is no one, there will be nothing. Our Dazhou Dadu doesn't care about Dongtang, and we have quickly formed an army of 20, so we can go north to fill the border. crisis caused by instability.
Besides, there are some barbarians going south, can they run away if they can't beat them?Anyway, the northern barbarians can't occupy our land, and they will naturally retreat if they can't grab something. When we return to Haojing in Dazhou, Dazhou will still be Dazhou, and it will never change in Zhou. "
An army of 20 people was pulled up in Zhou Dynasty, so fast.
This is completely beyond the imagination of Zhao Zheng and Zhu Di.
In their original thinking, it would be good for Da Zhou to only settle [-] yuan.
