There was a crowd of people at the door.

"Lu Mu, long time no see."

The one who stood at the top was actually Yi Luochen, followed by a group of servants and people with charming smiles, which looked very spectacular.

"I didn't expect to see you again like this." Yi Luochen took a few steps forward and stopped in front of the person, his eyes fluttering from head to toe, "I said back then that you must be a guest, but now I still do it Count."

This Crown Prince Yi is indeed a bit rampant, poaching people so bluntly in front of people.

Xiao Yuchen snorted coldly, and pulled Lu Mu to his side, "Your position, even Lu Mu, who begged for me, would even dismiss it."

The word 'my' is particularly strong.

The atmosphere became tense in an instant, and the father-in-law, who was able to see things, immediately said: "The banquet is about to begin, Your Highness the Third Prince, Prince Yi Guoyi, please go in."

Immediately, a servant announced with a long voice.

Yi Luochen suddenly smiled a little, shrugged, his eyes were determined to win: "It doesn't matter."

Xiao Yuchen's brows furrowed again, the advantage just now was not at all happy.

Yi Luochen didn't know, but he felt that Lu Mu's hand held by him moved slightly.

When he saw Yi Luochen.

He glanced sideways at the person, but Lu Mu still had no expression, and followed him forward.

The second they entered, almost everyone's eyes were cast over, and most of them fell on Lu Mu.

They are all high-ranking people here, or rich children from official families. They have heard of Lu Mu but have never seen it. Now that their eyes fell, all kinds of expressions were tinged with amazement and surprise.

The emperor sitting on the upper seat even stood up straight away, his movements were too big, and he almost rolled down: "The one in white is General Lu?"

As soon as these words fell, someone beside him said angrily: "Bold, why don't you kneel down when you meet the king?!"

Lu Mu raised his eyes and glanced over, the aggressive man took a step back.

Sitting in the temple for too long, I thought it was those people who would tremble and kneel when he drank.

The minister was a little ashamed of his step, he looked around and saw that no one answered his eyes, so he looked angrily at his lord for support, not wanting to thank the lord for a happy smile.

"Why bother so much, sit down, sit down, Ai Ji is dancing."

Everyone was silent, and raised their glasses again and said words of welcome.

Lu Mu looked down at the first seat, the crown prince of Xie Kingdom, Xie Tianqi.

Dressed in bright yellow clothes, he looked gentle and even slightly sickly.

Not the same as the legend.

"Why, did you see it?"

Xiao Yuchen had never seen anything that Lu Mu was interested in, so he stared straight at the person, taunted him, and pulled him to his place.

Lu Mu was caught off guard and staggered, but he still said in a low voice, "No."

It's just that the answer was drowned in the sound of wine and music, and he couldn't hear it clearly.

In fact, Lu Mu's identity is a bit embarrassing. This is a superficially friendly banquet to welcome the visit of Prince Yi. It should not have been a ridiculous scene where a prisoner appeared at the banquet.

But this is the request of Crown Prince Yi - Lord Xie doesn't think there is anything wrong with it.

Today's Lord Xie is addicted to wine and sex, licentious government affairs, and doesn't care about these at all, but fortunately, he doesn't take power, and most of the things are handed over to the prince.

The position is also considered stable.

As soon as Xiao Yuchen and Prince Yi Guo entered the banquet, they were almost surrounded by crowds, leaving a large space around Lu Mu.

Lu Mu looked at Xiao Yuchen in the crowd, no matter how many people there were, it was still difficult to hide his extraordinary aura, and those who talked to him unconsciously seemed to be submissive.

How on earth did rumors spread that Xiao Yuchen was a fool who had no interest in power and who couldn't read sage books.

The line of sight was blocked, and Prince Xie brought the wine to this side.

The minister who roared just now followed behind, staring at Lu Mu like an old hen protecting his food.

Xie Tianqi called out the people around him and sat next to Lu Mu.

His eyes fell on Xiao Yuchen, and his voice was gentle and polite: "General Lu also thinks that the third emperor is more suitable than the prince, right?"

Lu Mu looked at the minister who was still staring at him from a distance, and then landed on the Prince Xie, who was indeed too bookish.

In the prosperous age, it is rare to be a wise king, but in such a turbulent situation, if you are not careful, you will be a dead king.

But Lu Mu didn't say anything, he didn't understand why the prince said this to him.

Xie Qitian retracted his gaze and smiled at Lu Mu, "Actually, I have always envied the battlefield, but due to physical reasons,"

There was a pause at this point, and after a look of gloom, there was some self-deprecating and free-spirited: "I know I won't be able to sit in this position for too long, but I don't know if my third brother will leave me a whole body, soul You can also walk around the world."

The fear in Lu Mu's heart expanded step by step with Xie Tianqi's words. What does this mean, Xie Tianqi is not interested in the throne at all and even has a high opinion of Xiao Yuchen?

So what is Xiao Yuchen fighting for? Does he not know or pretend not to know?

So these two brothers are actually acting paradoxically?

Lu Mu was terrified in his heart, but there was no expression on his face, he just said: "The prince is the future emperor, it is better to be cautious about some words."

Xie Tianqi was taken aback, and smiled wryly, "Even General Lu thinks so?"

He drank the wine in the glass, smiled and bent his eyes, but there was a thin film of water in his eyes, and his voice was quite lonely: "Father, queen, ministers, and even the common people seem to take it for granted I would love it."

"Since that's the case, why is the prince?" Lu Mu had actually accepted this somewhat absurd fact in his heart, but the impact was still a bit greater for him, so he blurted out for a while.

But after he really opened his mouth, he didn't have the nerve to finish. He was a little embarrassed by his recklessness at this moment.

"Why didn't you tell others?" Xie Tianqi smiled.

"The queen mother needs to conquer the world by herself, and the king wants an obedient chess piece that can allow him to continue to enjoy himself in his later years." He paused, looking at the people who were circling among the ministers.

"And the emperor needs an enemy instead of the emperor."

"I don't like this position, but I have to die for him."

Lu Mu frowned slightly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

He didn't expect that Prince Xie would have such an attitude. He was so free and easy about rights, and everyone in the world was fighting for it, but he actually wanted to let go of something that was at his fingertips.

"In the prosperous age, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be a good king." Lu Mu finally said, his words were full of sincerity.

Xie Qitian was startled slightly, then laughed again, his brows and eyes were only crooked when he was such a gentle person, "But I'm still not reconciled,"

His voice fluttered gently like reeds in the breeze, with some melodious melancholy.

"I have never seen the moon on the frontier, never been on a boat in the south of the Yangtze River, and no one has been drinking and singing with me."

"So," Xie Tianqi raised his eyes to look at Lu Mu, "this time I want to ask General Lu for something, or rather,"

A drumbeat fell, and the last four words seemed to be smashed into the heart.

"Make a deal."

Although Xiao Yuchen was among the crowd, his eyes hardly left Lu Mu.

I didn't expect that Lu Mu didn't move much, but when his imperial brother passed by, the two of them still seemed to be talking happily.

"Your Highness?" The ignored person shouted at the person whose attention was drifting away, and was stuffed with a wine glass when he was about to shout again.

"excuse me."

"How can a mere prisoner be worthy of His Royal Highness's wine?" Xiao Yuchen stretched out his hand to cut off the wine in Lu Mu's hand, and said with a smile, "Brother Huang is not in good health, so drink less."

Xie Tianqi lowered his head for a moment, and when he raised his head, his face was no longer as gentle as before.

Naturally revealing a bit of prince's nobility as well as fear and contempt for the people in front of him.

"Thank you, Third Emperor, for your concern."

Turning to Lu Mu again, the corners of his lips curled slightly, seeming to mean something: "I hope to have a chance to have a drink with the general in the future."

After saying that, he took his wine glass and left.

Xiao Yuchen frowned slightly, and directly poured the wine in the glass: "Do you dare to drink anyone's wine?"

"Isn't everyone the same?" Lu Mu retracted his gaze and moved to the side.

Xiao Yuchen's body was stained with a lot of rouge and gouache.

Xiao Yuchen subconsciously stretched out his hand and grabbed the man's wrist: "What do you mean, just chatting with my prince brother, you are going to keep a distance from me?"

Lu Mu looked into Xiao Yuchen's eyes, and the mocking, contemptuous and even disgusting look inside made him suddenly feel powerless.

"No."

Xiao Yuchen was stunned for a moment, not knowing why the way Lu Mu looked at him made him feel even more irritable, this is also an extremely rare emotion for him, his brows almost wrinkled into the word 'chuan'.

Just about to speak, Yi Luochen walked to the main hall and bowed to the emperor.

"Huh? What's the matter with Prince Yi? Is there something wrong with the reception?"

"Thank you to the lord for the banquet. It is an honor for Yi to come. This time, my father ordered me to bring something to the lord. Please allow me to present it to the lord."

Before Yi Luochen finished speaking, Lord Xie couldn't wait to say: "Submit it quickly, I'll take a look."

Yi Luochen smiled, clapped his hands, and someone brought in a few large boxes, followed by a dozen or so exotic beauties, each with their own strengths, almost catching everyone's attention.

One of the attendants brought a cage, which was covered with a black cloth, so it was impossible to see what was inside.

Facing the curious eyes of the sovereign, Yi Luochen opened his eyes and it turned out to be a bird with colorful feathers, his eyes rolled around.

"This is……"

Yi Luochen smiled, "Wicai speaks."

The bird's eyes rolled around, and as if it understood the words of the people, it faced Lord Xie's direction: "The Lord will live forever."

It was a mouthful of words.

Everyone was in an uproar, and some people sighed what kind of monster it was, but the king stood up in surprise, and was patted by the concubine next to him before he sat back down, patted the armrest and said anxiously: "Quickly present it to me for a look!" look."

The colorful bird was taken up, and the Lord Xie said a few more words, very happy: "I am very satisfied, what does Prince Yi want?"

"I really have something to ask for." Yi Luochen looked a little embarrassed.

"Listen to Prince Yi, I will try my best to satisfy you." Xie Guozhu said and hugged the concubine next to him and kissed twice, which aroused the concubine's coquettish anger.

There was a flash of disdain in Yi Luochen's eyes, but his face was still respectful: "I have a relationship with Lu Mu, can you let me take Lu Mu back?"
