Chapter 134 Attending the Banquet
Youzhou Military Camp
After Shen Rou and others left, Shangguan Yunting devoted himself to military training. He knew that only a strong army could defend the country, and he could not slack off even if there were bombs.
Today was Madam Liu's birthday party, and all the generals were preparing to attend the banquet.
Shangguan Yunting also received an invitation, but he was a little hesitant. After all, he had a special position in the army and his every move was closely watched.
At this time, Shangguan Rui came over and said, "Uncle Jiu, are you going to attend Madam Liu's banquet today?"
"You go on my behalf! I have military duties to attend to."
"Uncle Jiu, Magistrate Liu also invited me. General Deng and his men said that the military and the government are closely connected, so it would be inappropriate not to go. When two countries are at war, our army is on the front lines, and sometimes we need the cooperation of local officials. Otherwise, if they pretend to obey but secretly disobey when encountering difficult problems, causing our army to suffer heavy losses, it would be a loss that would outweigh the gains."
Shangguan Yunting thought about it and realized that this made sense. It would be inappropriate for him not to go. "Okay, I'll change my clothes and leave right away."
"The generals and I will be waiting for you outside the camp."
Soon he came to Liu's house on horseback with his generals, and Liu Zhizhou came to greet them with his family.
"Your humble servant greets Prince Mu and the Third Prince."
"Master Liu, please excuse me."
"Prince Mu, please come in. Third Prince, please come in."
As soon as Shangguan Yunting and his nephew stepped into the main hall, everyone's attention was instantly attracted to them.
He was wearing a dark red robe, a belt around his waist with a jade pendant hanging on it, and his every move exuded an indescribable noble temperament.
He was handsome, with eyes so deep and sharp that one dared not look directly at him. His steps were steady and powerful, and each step seemed to carry an invisible pressure that made people involuntarily impressed.
Behind him followed the guards and generals, all of whom had serious expressions. Many people who wanted to step forward to greet them were frightened by their stern appearance and stopped in their tracks.
At the banquet, everyone sent their blessings to Madam Liu, and the scene was very lively.
The arrival of Shangguan Yunting and Shangguan Rui attracted the attention of many people, especially some young women, whose eyes flashed with admiration.
However, Shangguan Yunting and his nephew remained indifferent and distant.
"Father and mother, Prince Mu and the third prince are here."
The Liu elders quickly stood up and saluted, "I pay my respects to His Royal Highness Prince Mu and the Third Prince."
"Madam Liu, please don't be polite. You are the birthday girl today. You are the most important."
"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Mu, for your kindness."
At Shangguan Yunting's suggestion, Han Lin and Leng Ce presented the prepared gifts to Old Madam Liu. She smiled from ear to ear, thanked them repeatedly, and ordered the servants to put the gifts away.
Liu Zhizhou hurriedly said, "Prince Mu, please take a seat, Third Prince."
The banquet began with dancers singing and dancing, and the music was melodious.
Shangguan Yunting was at the main table. He had a brief exchange with Shangguan Rui. The generals, Liu Zhizhou and others were chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
At this time, music started, and a girl in red, with a red veil on her face, slowly came to the center of the stage.
She has a graceful figure and a pretty face, and she dances gracefully to the rhythm of the music.
Her figure is as light as a swallow, and every movement is smooth and natural, as if integrated with the music.
Her arms drew graceful arcs in the air, her fingers gently curved like blooming flowers.
The red veil fluttered in the wind, adding a mysterious atmosphere. Her eyes, through the veil, revealed a charming charm that made people fall in love with her. Many men present were deeply attracted to this girl.
The music gradually faded, and the dance of the girl in red also ended.
There was thunderous applause from the audience, and the guests cheered for her wonderful performance.
No matter how well she danced, Shangguan Yunting and Shangguan Rui had indifferent expressions and didn't even glance at her.
The woman in red slowly walked to the main table, and Liu Zhizhou quickly introduced her: "Prince Mu, Third Prince, this is my daughter Shanshan."
Liu Shanshan bowed gently and smiled shyly, "Your servant Liu Shanshan greets Prince Mu and the Third Prince."
Shangguan Yunting didn't even look at her, and replied calmly: "Miss Liu, no need to be polite."
As soon as she entered the stage, she recognized Shangguan Yunting as the man who rode the horse that day. She was even more ecstatic. When facing Shangguan Yunting, her face flushed and her heart beat faster.
But he just responded indifferently, without a trace of emotion. All the men in the banquet hall were fascinated by it, but he remained indifferent.
The passionate Liu Shanshan felt a chill in her heart, but she still forced herself to smile, trying to hide her disappointment.
She quickly looked at her father, Liu Zhizhou, and after receiving his daughter's pleading look, he quickly agreed, "Shanshan, pour wine for Prince Mu and the Third Prince."
"Yes."
She was busy pouring wine for Shangguan Yunting and Shangguan Rui, and stood cautiously beside him. Looking at Shangguan Yunting's handsome but indifferent face, she couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation in her heart.
Shangguan Yunting frowned slightly and glanced at Han Lin who was standing not far away. Han Lin immediately understood and came to Shangguan Yunting's side to serve him.
Liu Zhizhou stood up and said, "Your Highness Prince Mu, I am hosting this birthday banquet firstly to celebrate my mother's birthday and secondly to thank Prince Mu and the generals for protecting the people of Youzhou. On behalf of the people of Youzhou, I pay my respects to Prince Mu, the Third Prince, and the generals."
"You are too polite, Lord Liu. It is my responsibility to protect our country."
Everyone agreed and drank it all in one gulp.
Liu Shanshan hurriedly helped Shangguan Yunting and his nephew to pour wine, but Han Lin filled the glasses first, and the hand she extended was a little embarrassed.
She quickly gave her father a look for help. Liu Zhizhou did not dare to act rashly in front of Shangguan Yunting and could only give his daughter a reassuring look.
The glances exchanged didn't escape Shangguan Yunting, uncle and nephew. Shangguan Rui muttered quietly, "Does Liu Zhizhou want to be my uncle's father-in-law? He's so audacious! Be careful, it's all in vain! He won't even be able to find his grave when he cries."
Local officials raised their glasses and toasted Shangguan Yunting and others. Since all the generals had drunk, it would be bad for him not to drink too. He drank one glass after another. After several glasses in a row, he, who was not good at drinking, suddenly felt a little dizzy and his face flushed, and he was a little drunk.
Seeing this, Liu Zhizhou hurriedly said, "Prince Mu, there is some sobering tea in the back room. Why don't you go to the room and rest for a while to sober up?"
Shangguan Yunting shook his head slightly, "No need. The inner house is full of female relatives, I can't disturb them."
"But you are a little drunk. You will feel better if you drink some sobering tea."
"Master, I will take you back to the barracks!"
"Okay. Rui'er, are you going back or staying here?"
"I'll go back with you."
"Master Liu, take your leave."
"Your humble servant, please see Prince Mu and the Third Prince off."
Shangguan Yunting and Shangguan Rui walked out. Liu Zhizhou signaled his daughter to follow. Liu Shanshan hurried to Shangguan Yunting's side. He noticed something was wrong and switched sides with Han Lin to continue walking.
Liu Zhizhou and his daughter sent them to the door and watched them turn around handsomely and ride their horses away from their sight.
"Father, Prince Mu is not interested in women, or he just doesn't like my daughter."
"Shanshan, who is Prince Mu? He has seen countless beauties. You have to be patient. If you can charm him once, then the position of Princess Mu will be yours."
"Thank you for your advice, Dad. I understand, but it's difficult for me to see him."
"My girl, there are plenty of opportunities. It's easy for a girl to pursue a boy. It just depends on whether you put your heart into it."
"My daughter understands."
Shangguan Yunting and the others galloped back on horseback. Its eyes were clear and it didn't look drunk at all.
"Uncle Jiu, are you pretending to be drunk?
"I did feel dizzy just now."
"Why do I feel like Liu Zhizhou's daughter seems to have a crush on you?"
"Is your Uncle Nine the kind of person who changes his mind every day? The people and things I've decided on are my lifelong commitments."
"But if a girl throws herself into your arms, can you resist the temptation?"
"She is not as good as Xiaorou in any way."
"Hearing you say that, I feel much more relieved. After all, you and Princess Furong have a future, which will also be helpful to Xiaoxue and me in the future."
"You little brat, I thought you cared about me. I didn't expect you were doing this for your and Xiaoxue's future."
"Uncle Jiu, don't you want to marry Princess Furong?"
"Do you even need to say this?"
"So you have to hold your ground. You haven't even gotten married yet, and you already have a woman outside. Do you think Princess Furong will still have a future with you? I'm doing this for your own good."
"thank you."
"That's not necessary. After all, you are my most respected uncle. Only when you are well can I be well."
"This is a perfect flattery."
"That is required."
The guard listened to the conversation between the uncle and nephew and almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
The next day he received an order from the emperor, ordering him to lead his troops to advance towards Jizhou. He approached Jizhou with 100,000 soldiers and horses.
The Jizhou garrison commander was so frightened that he hurriedly prepared to defend the city and sent someone to pass the message to His Majesty the Northern Yan.
