Huo Wujiu looked at Wei Kai, pressed his eyebrows down, moved his mouth, but still didn't speak.
Wei Kai always felt that his general's cheeks seemed to tighten, as if he was gritting his teeth. The general looked unhappy with this appearance, but Wei Kai didn't know why he was unhappy.
The general's intentions are always difficult to guess, and Wei Kai only feels a little confused.
After hesitating for a moment, he tentatively said: "... General?"
Huo Wujiao glanced at him unclearly.
"Subordinates understand!" Wei Kai quickly stood up straight.
Isn't the general just saying, let him not talk too much? He understood that although the general had thoughts of this kind, his thoughts were not glorious, and he certainly couldn't say it.
If he knows it well, he knows it well.
Thinking like this, Wei Kai smiled at Huo Wujiu.
Huo Wujiu glanced at him indifferently, and didn't bother to go into the mess that Wei Kai understood. He raised his eyes and looked out the window. The night was already dark, but Jiang Suizhou hadn't seen him come back.
"Now that I understand, let's go take a look." Huo Wugui said. "When King Jing returns to the mansion, I have something to discuss with him."
Wei Kai nodded repeatedly and walked out.

At this time, the banquet hall in the palace was full of swords.
The literati taught by the Confucian and Mencius culture know how to be euphemistic. No matter when, they will leave some face to the other party and express their meanings tactfully. Therefore, the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government also have their own way of getting along with each other, even if they are tit-for-tat, they will not really do anything to stamp the face of the other party under their feet.
But Lou Yue is different. He is a person who has never read a book. The principles of those educated people don't make sense here.
After he said something, there was no sound in the hall, and all the courtiers held their breath and dared not speak any more. He alone stared at Pang Shao, while Pang Shao sat there with a rare ugly look on his face.
He was silent for a moment, and reluctantly opened his mouth with a cold face: "General Lou may have been drinking too much. Come here, I won't help General Lou down to rest."
This is his face in Zhou Quan, and he is also expressing a warning to Lou Yue.
But Lou Yue ignored him at all.
He sneered and said loudly: "I'm not drunk, I'm very sober. Old thief Pang, if I drink too much today, I'm afraid your head has fallen to the table."
Pang Shao's complexion darkened.
In the shining hall, the courtiers in brocade clothes looked at each other, their gazes stealthily glanced at him. Pang Shao was so accustomed to being pampered, he couldn't bear this for a long time, and pressed a few cases with his hands, resisting the urge to leave.
Lou Yue... Lou Yue! He had made up his mind long ago to deal with this person, and after today, he will definitely let this reckless man know that someone who provokes him will make him go to death.
He gritted his teeth and said nothing for a moment.
At this moment, a voice came from nearby.
"Today is a day to celebrate the generals. If you have anything, you might as well tell them in private. Please return to the seats first. Don't lose your honor in front of the emperor."
Lou Yue turned his head and saw Qi Min.
He remembered this old thing. Although it was verbose and annoying on weekdays, he always opposed Pang Shao, and he was considered a well water and not a river water.
What's wrong with this old guy? I have only been away for a year, and now I am wearing a pair of pants with Pang Shao
Seeing that Qi Min was here to speak for Pang Shao, Lou Yue half-hearted did not say anything, turned his head and covered his face and said, "Improper? Since you are doing too often, this matter is indeed yours. Then let me go. I ask you, is it proper for the prince of the family to marry a prisoner of war?"
Qi Min frowned, looked at him, sat back for a moment, and stopped speaking.
Lou Yue gave Pang Shao a stern look, then dropped the cup in his hand, walked to the dragon chair of the queen, kneeled down, and saluted: "The final general knows that today is presumptuous, but please think about it, the emperor. Doing things that are detrimental to the prestige of the heavenly family in order to bewitched by the traitor is not the face of the traitor, but the face of your majesty."
The face of the queen is also very ugly.
Lou Yue is frivolous, but he has this capital frivolous.
Even though he was so stupid, he still knew that there was no other general in the court now, and even if he was dissatisfied with Lou Yue, he would not dare to kill him.
For today's Dajing, Lou Yue is their only strong wall.
He moved his lips and reluctantly said, "I see."
Lou Yue got up calmly and returned to his seat.
After a meal, the host and the host were upset, and when the hour came, the table was hurriedly scattered.
Qi Min got into the carriage, and the carriage was about to leave, when his friend suddenly stopped and squeezed onto the carriage.
"What's the matter?"
Qi Min was getting older and drank some wine. He was a little dizzy at this time and was resting leaning on the carriage.
The friend sat down in front of him and asked puzzledly: "Qi Gong today, why did you say that sentence?"
Qi Min opened his eyes to look at him, and said, "Because Lou Yue really overstepped today and made the emperor unhappy."
This is not what Qi Min should say. The friend said anxiously: "Qi Gongmo wants to make fun of me!"
Qi Min said, "I'm not joking."
As he said, he sat up straight, and slowly said: "You can also see that General Lou speaks bluntly. Today not only has offended Pang Shao, he has also annoyed his majesty. Generals are always a little frivolous, which is common. . But General Lou’s frivolousness is not based on merits, but sincerely annoyed Pang Shao and anxious for the great scene."
The friend said: "This is natural!"
Qi Min sighed.
"He is so, Pang Shao will not let him."
The friend said: "... Is this how Qi Gong guessed? But now, if there is no Lou Yue, Dajing would be unscrupulous."
Qi Min lowered his eyes.
"You and I will worry about this, but Pang Shao won't." He said. "When I left the table, I deliberately walked near Pang Shao, and I really saw someone stepping up to comfort him. He simply said with that person,'Let him be arrogant, and there will be disaster in the future.' I knew it, I guess correct."
My friend was anxious: "How can this be good!"
Qi Min groaned for a moment, then slowly opened his mouth.
"We can't really let him succeed," he said. "That's why I said this today, in order to have a confrontation with General Lou and draw a line with him. In this way, Pang Shao would not be too shy when he started, and he might even test my mind to take advantage of me. Although he is old and familiar in the DPRK, he will always find clues by then. In this way, there will be signs to follow and a way to break through what he has to do."
The friend pondered for a moment, nodded in approval and said: "Qi Gong's method is very good."
As he said, he sighed: "I have always known Qi Gongyi straightforwardly, but now it seems that he still has an exquisite heart."
Qi Min smiled and shook his head when he heard the words.
"Where do I have an exquisite heart." He said. "It was just a few days ago that His Royal Highness Jing had saved his life secretly, and then I suddenly realized that it was time to learn to retreat to advance in a fight with Pang Shao."
On the other side, on Lou Yue's carriage, a vaguely cursing sound could be heard.
Lou Wanjun sat aside and smiled at him.
"What are you happy about!" Lou Yue was dissatisfied.
Lou Wanjun smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just that my father is outspoken today.
"What's the point of cursing him with bare lips!" Lou Yue said angrily. "The ridiculous thing has been done, but it's a pity..."
Speaking of this, he suddenly didn't know whether it was a pity that the good court was ruined like this, or it was pity that Huo Wujiu's child suffered this ordeal.
"Unfortunately Brother Huo?" Lou Wanjun answered.
Lou Yue looked heavy and stopped talking.
He knew that he couldn't stand Ding Beihou, but his family and country was right here. As a general, he should not be bothered by his brother's personal affair. but…
He died on the battlefield, and now he doesn't even know where he was buried. He was just such a son, but now he watched as the child was beaten to death, humiliated as a concubine.
Lou Yue only felt distressed.
But when she heard Lou Wanjun smile slightly next to her, she stretched out her hand comfortingly, patted Lou Yue on the shoulder, and comforted: "Father, don't be too sad. Things have already happened. Anyway, that King Jing looked up at it. Bad guys, don’t really treat Brother Huo in any way."
Lou Yue stared at him: "One-sided fate, how do you know that he is a good person? Just rely on him to look good?"
"Of course not. If you think he is not a good thing, why didn't my father scold him with him today?" Lou Wanjun couldn't help but add. "However, it does look good."
Lou Yue raised his voice: "Then you can't marry that kid to him!"
Lou Wanjun persuaded: "This is my father. You have to worry about it. As long as a person is alive, some humiliation is a small matter. What's more, if you just don't want to go, how do you know that Brother Huo is not willing?"
"Nonsense!"
"No nonsense, who made King Jing look good? Brother Huo is not blind."

When Jiang Suizhou returned to the mansion, the night was not deep, but he only felt exhausted.
It was really because after a busy day and the evening banquet, there was such a big turmoil, which consumed his energy.
Lou Yue was indeed a loyal minister and good general, and an excellent person, but Jiang Suizhou couldn't help but worry.
In the history books, Lou Yue was cut off from his military power and beheaded. He didn't die on the battlefield, but died in the hands of his lord and colleagues, which shows that Pang Shao wanted to get rid of him long ago.
And he was too straightforward, not afraid of making enemies to himself.
Jiang Suizhou always feels uneasy, fearing that Pang Shaozhen will kill him, fearing that he will not end well, and he will also feel uneasy.
He only felt a headache, drank some more alcohol, and was now five minutes drunk. He sat and walked back to Anyintang, just wanting to take a good rest and make plans until tomorrow.
But as soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he saw a slender and tall figure sticking there, eager to see through.
Jiang Suizhou glanced and saw that it was Wei Kai.
"Why are you here?" He stepped down and saw Wei Kai greet him.
Wei Kai stepped forward and smiled and said, "Master, we will... Our wife, I have something to tell you. Please go there."
Jiang Suizhou heard the words and followed him to Huo Wujiu's room.
He took a deep breath.
He knew that Huo Wujiu had something to do with him at this time, it must be Lou Yue's. If... Huo Wujiu really treats him as a friend, there may still be something about Lou Wanjun.
Jiang Suizhou told himself that it's okay, it's all right. The only thing that shouldn't be his delusion, he needs to overcome it by himself.
Entering the door, I saw Huo Wujiu sitting in front of the hall drinking tea. Seeing him coming in, he raised his eyes and looked in his direction.
Those black eyes are extremely deep.
For some reason, Jiang Suizhou's exhaustion that had been stored for a whole day suddenly rushed up, making the tip of his nose a little sour.
He didn't know where this exhaustion mixed with grievances came from, but felt that this kind of emotions surged so hard that it made people a little hard to resist.
Maybe people drink too much, they will always be a little sensitive and thoughtful.
He sat down on the chair in front of Huo Wujiu, and saw Huo Wujiu raise his hand and waved Wei Kai back.
"Drinking?"
The door was closed, and Huo Wujiu opened his mouth.
Jiang Suizhou was taken aback.
He had imagined all the way, but never expected that the first sentence Huo Wujiao asked would actually be this.
He opened his mouth, and when he spoke again, his tone was already weakened.
"... a little bit," he said.
