The room is filled with candlelight, fine wine and delicious food, and the house is full of luxury. Xie Queshan's hair was tied up with a jade crown, and he changed into a wide robe and a blouse worn for the banquet. The cloud pattern on the white background and the green bamboo embroidery between the leaders made the whole person more handsome, upright and open-minded.
Nan Yi usually only saw Xie Queshan wearing dark clothes, serious in speech and old-fashioned. This was the first time he saw him smiling and talking at a banquet, as if he was just a noble son of a handsome family, a little dazzled.
Their eyes met unexpectedly.
Nan Yi was so shocked that her hands almost shook and she poured the wine out of the tray. Fortunately, she calmed down immediately and didn't make any noise.
Xie Queshan only glanced at the singer, without any unnecessary reaction.
Nan Yi thought that she still had tassels covering her face, which could hide most of her appearance. She felt lucky again, lowered her head and hid herself behind the gorgeous singers, and glanced at the banquet.
There were Xie Queshan, Husha and several generals of the Qi army at the table. Xie Zhu was a little farther away from everyone. His hands were tied behind his back. His back was straight and his eyes were wide open, but he could not say a word. He must have been executed. Take dumb medicine.
I had just heard a lot of slanderous words about Xie Zhu on the street, saying that he had turned over to Qi, and Nan Yi was not sure whether it was true or not. Now that I saw him, I realized that a scholar also has a strong character, and he is still fearless even if he lives in a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. If it were her, her knees would have gone weak and she would have knelt down faster than anyone else.
However, Qi Ren's move, which caused the third uncle to be unjust, could be described as murderous and heartbreaking, and Nan Yi was inevitably angry. But the Qi people in Lidu Mansion cover the sky with only one hand. Even if she has this intention, now is not a good time to rescue her third uncle.
Xie Zhu's sitting position was very subtle. He was sitting in front of a half-open window. If someone came to rescue him, this position would be the most convenient to escape. However, in Nan Yi's eyes, this was more like a trap that invited you to fall into a trap.
If Xie Sui'an came prepared, she would probably hide outside the window, waiting for the opportunity to strike.
But Qiren's ambush must be nearby!
Usha waved his hand and called the singers to take their seats, and said with a smile: "You must serve Governor Xie well, so that all the rotten scholars in the city can see that the Governor is enjoying a good life under the care of our Daqi." So carefree."
Xie Zhu looked extremely angry, but there was nothing he could do.
The singers skillfully sat next to the guests in twos and threes. Nan Yi was about to go to Xie Zhu's side and grab a seat by the window, but was stopped by a voice.
"Come here -" Xie Queshan called a singer casually, seemingly unintentionally, and happened to click on Nan Yi. He lowered his eyes and gestured to the wine glass in his hand, "Pour some wine."
Nan Yi wanted to go to the window and use the opportunity of closing the window to convey the news to Xie Sui'an, but was abruptly interrupted by Xie Queshan. She had no doubt that she must have been recognized, and her life might not be saved, let alone trying to save Xie Sui'an.
She reluctantly moved to sit next to Xie Queshan and poured him wine as instructed.
When the wine was filled, Xie Queshan didn't pick up the glass, but gave him another indifferent look.
Nan Yi felt baffled, and after scanning around, he realized that the other singers were almost attached to the guests. Those who served them wine were feeding them wine, and those who were serving them food were so attentive.
Nan Yi's slowness seemed a beat slower. In order to appear less out of place, she could only pick up the wine glass and imitate other singers, stiffly feeding it to Xie Queshan's mouth.
Xie Queshan opened his mouth to drink in cooperation, but his expression remained calm.
Drink, drink you to death - Nan Yi noticed the teasing, was a little angry but didn't dare to say anything, and simply wanted to destroy it, so he put a little more force on his hand and pushed the cup forward.
Xie Queshan was suddenly swallowed by the wine, choked, and coughed several times.
Seeing his embarrassment, Nan Yi finally felt a little pleasure of revenge. Just as he was about to take back his hand, Xie Queshan grabbed his wrist and stared into his eyes coldly: "Young lady, are you afraid of me? Your hands are shaking like this. sharp."
Nan Yi tried hard to withdraw her hand, pretending to be aggrieved: "Master, please stop teasing me, I just feel a little cold... It's such a winter day, please go and close the window, please?"
Xie Queshan stared at the jade bracelet on her wrist. Instead of letting go, he used his strength to pull her over and let her fall into his arms.
"Young lady, are you blaming me for not being compassionate?"
The whole hall burst into laughter, and Nan Yi felt herself running into a hot embrace. His breath enveloped her whole body. Her mind suddenly went blank. Her eyes raised in panic, and she saw his face so close.
Like a newly shaved face, the stubble on the chin still has slightly imperceptible blue roots. When you are so close, you can see it very clearly. She felt inexplicably stiff, but she felt that it made him more like a living person.
His long knuckles held her waist, and the warmth spread through his palms. Nan Yi was very confused at the moment, as if countless colorful lines were passing through his mind, and even his breathing became disordered.
Sitting on his lap like this, she always felt shaky and was forced to grab his sleeves.
Xie Queshan sat calmly in his arms, with a sneer on his face, and raised his chin towards the delicacies on the table.
"Feed me." He ordered, looking like a skilled prostitute.
Since he was going to act, Nan Yi was willing to take the risk, picked up the chopsticks, picked up everything in front of him and stuffed it into his mouth. Only then did she notice the dishes on the table, which were filled with all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, honey-fried food, and carvings. Even in such a cramped situation, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
Every little reaction she had was caught in his eyes, but he remained calm.
The singer on the side joked: "Why are the officials so partial? The slave family is sitting in the downwind, and the slave family is also cold."
Xie Queshan raised his eyebrows with a nonchalant look on his face: "Then go and close the window."
The singer asked for trouble and had no choice but to get up and close the window, but Nan Yi came over in an instant - if someone else had closed the window, she would have lost the only way to communicate with Xie Sui'an.
At this moment, Xie Sui'an was indeed hiding under the eaves and at the base of the wall, observing everything in the house.
With these Qi people in the room plus Xie Queshan, it would be a strenuous fight, but as long as the third uncle was taken away quickly, she could still handle it.
Her lieutenant in Huachao Pavilion had already drugged the wine, and after three rounds of drinking at the banquet, it would be her time to take action.
But she didn't know that Nai Ying had been suppressed by Qi Ren a long time ago, and there was no medicine in the wine. What she had to deal with was not just the Qi Ren she saw in the room, but the entire Huachao Pavilion was full of ambushes.
If Nan Yi doesn't send news to Xie Sui'an, she will become a turtle in a jar.
It was too late, but soon, just when the singer was about to close the window, Nan Yi suddenly screamed in horror: "Ah - there seems to be someone outside the window!"
While exclaiming, Nan Yi hugged Xie Queshan's neck, pretending to be afraid and burying his head in his arms, but in fact, in order to prevent him from moving at this moment, to give the people outside the window more time to escape.
Apart from Xie Zhu, Xie Queshan was the closest to the window. Hu Sha, who was sitting at the door, immediately walked to the window and leaned out to look out. There was no one outside the window.
