    "The prince and the king of Qi entertained the king of Qin. What kind of routine is this?" Yunhao and Li Shentong looked at each other, wondering why they were thinking about drinking together.  Really, when we are in Taiyuan, we are brothers, friends and brothers?

    "The prince said that this was a family banquet, and only Qin Qiong Cheng Zhijie went with King Qin. The princess asked me to invite the King of Huainan. Since it is a family banquet, it is okay for you to go."

    "There is evil in this. Boy Yun, can you see anything in your mind?" Li Shentong couldn't figure it out and asked Yun Hao.

    Without good wine, there is no good banquet. Xiang Yu¡¯s Hongmen Banquet is a representative example.  Could it be that Li Jiancheng dared to ambush the swordsman and kill Li Er?  This is absolutely impossible. Although Li Yuan is old, he is not confused yet.  The fight between sons must be moderate. If something like this happens, Li Yuan will kill Li Jiancheng without hesitation.  Thendoes it mean poisoning?

    An idea flashed in Yunhao¡¯s mind, yes!  Li Jiancheng wanted to poison Li Er. There was no essential difference between this approach and ambushing a swordsman.  But the method was relatively hidden, so Li Yuan felt a little uncomfortable.  Li Jiancheng is also very likely to have a way to get through!

    "My lord, please go to the East Palace quickly. Things may have changed. When you get to the East Palace, be sure not to let King Qin drink. Otherwise, your life will be in danger."

    "The prince dares to poison?" Li Shentong's eyes widened. He didn't believe that Li Jiancheng dared to do this.  In the current court situation, Li Jiancheng still occupies the position of prince.  He still has an advantage over Li Er. If he were to poison Li Er to death, the consequences would be disastrous.

    "It's hard to say now. Anyway, just go to the East Palace as soon as possible."

    Li Er was also thinking in his mind that Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji came to the government in person to invite him without any warning today.  There has been constant friction between Tiance's mansion and the subordinates of the East Palace these days. Li Jiancheng said that it was caused by the differences between the brothers, and he must treat Li Er to a meal today.  Show your respect to your brothers and sisters, and don't make random guesses all day long.

    This reason is so far-fetched that only a ghost would believe it!  But Li Er couldn't refuse, after all, he still had the title of brother.  When facing each other, you have to put on a brotherly and friendly attitude with your father.

    Riding on the horse, Li Er deliberately slowed down the horse.  He even hoped that this journey would take ten thousand years.  However, it was not that far from Admiral Tiance's residence to the East Palace, and the war horse still stubbornly brought him to the gate of the East Palace.

    "Second brother, we are the only three brothers who are not inviting anyone today. But we want those who are talking nonsense to see how our brothers are doing. There is absolutely nothing about the birth and separation that they said, and let the father see that our brothers in the Li family are united.  , as long as our brothers are here, Datang's country will be as strong as a rock." As soon as Li Er got off his horse, Li Jiancheng immediately pulled Li Er's sleeve.  The words were beautifully spoken, and they also vaguely brought out Li Yuan.  Li Er had to nod in agreement!

    "Second brother, I've offended you a lot in the past, so I have to give you a toast. By the way, I haven't had a drink with you for a long time." Li Yuanji also came over. After being banned for a month, this guy actually  Gained some weight.  However, his face is rounder, and his words are also heard a lot.

    "What the fourth brother said is that we three brothers will have a drink later." Li Jiancheng said, and Li Yuanji walked to the East Palace with Li Er in the middle.

    There were drums and songs along the way, and singers in cool clothes sang and danced all the way.  From time to time, he also winked at Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and others behind Li Er, but Qin Qiong and Lao Cheng didn't look sideways.  But Liu Hongji was so excited that he almost shed tears when he saw it, and he would probably be taken away from his soul after a while.

    When we arrived at the main hall of the East Palace, there were only three seats in the hall.

    "Second brother, it's just us three brothers who are drinking together today. No one else is welcome, and there is no one of my East Palace guards left here. Fourth brother brought two regular attendants with him today, and each of us can leave a palace guard to wait on him. For the rest,  Everyone, go to the side hall to eat and drink, don¡¯t block our brothers¡¯ enjoyment. How about that?¡± Li Jiancheng said with a smile when he walked to the door of the main hall.

    Li Er looked inside the main hall, as if to reassure Li Er.  The screens in the main hall have been removed, and you can see everything in the hall clearly from the entrance of the hall.

    In the huge hall, there was only a round table, and a palace maid was kneeling beside the round table.  There was not even a single servant in the entire hall.  Qin Qiong originally wanted to go in and check, but seeing this situation, it was useless to check. Everything was exposed in front of everyone.

    "Well¡­¡­!"

    "What? The second brother still can't trust the eldest brother?" Li Jiancheng saw Li Er hesitate, and his face suddenly darkened.

    "You guys go to the side hall to have a drink!" When things got to this point, Li Er had no choice.  However, based on their own martial arts skills, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji combined may not be a match.

    "Your Highness, I am afraid that some irrelevant people will disturb your Highnesses while they are drinking.Please allow a certain house to guard the door for three His Highnesses!  "The Prince's East Palace is like a wolf's den to Li Er. How could Qin Qiong leave Li Er here alone.

    "Oh, it's rare that you have such a childlike heart. Second brother, let Qin Qiong and Cheng Zhijie guard the door. If anyone dares to ruin our brother's banquet, let them break that person's legs." Li Er has not yet spoken.  , Li Yuanji spoke happily.  This time, Qin Qiong was a little confused.  Could it be that today¡¯s banquet is really as simple as drinking wine?

    "Then let's do what King Qi wants!" Li Er had no choice but to agree with Li Yuanji's words.  But I became more and more nervous, thinking that if something went wrong, it would be a monster.  Today's meal has an evil nature to it.

    After hearing this, the subordinate officials of the East Palace immediately took Liu Hongji, Duan Zhixuan and others to the side hall.  Qin Qiong and Cheng Zhijie stood at the entrance of the hall, one on the left and the other on the right, holding horizontal swords like killing gods.  Cheng Yaojin looked ferocious, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.  Qin Qiong was not angry and proud, not to mention that even humans and ghosts trembled when they saw her.  With these two gatekeepers, Li Er would not be afraid even if thirty or fifty people came.

    Everyone left, Li Jiancheng took Li Er¡¯s arm and dragged Li Er into the main hall.

    Sitting down on Li Er's shoulders, Li Jiancheng said: "Today our brothers eat in the Yun family's way. We are all brothers who have their own seats. We are drinking at the same table, and we seem to be close to each other."

    Li Er was stunned again. He originally thought that Li Jiancheng would tamper with the food.  But now they all eat at one table, and Li Jiancheng also eats what he eats.  Could it be that they took the antidote first and then the poison?

    "What are you doing standing still? You haven't poured the wine yet." Li Yuanji saw Li Er sitting down and immediately ordered the only palace attendant in the hall to pour the wine.

    An even more confusing scene appeared for Li Er. The wine in the altar was unsealed.  Instead of pouring it into a wine jug, pour it into a huge golden goblet.  The refreshing Yunjia steamed wine was poured in, and the aroma of the wine immediately overflowed.

    "The ancestors of our Li family in Guanlong are from the grasslands. Today we brothers are drinking in the same way as on the grasslands. We stir the spoons into the same golden bottle, regardless of you and me." Li Jiancheng said carelessly, and the palace servants used a spoon to pour each spoon into each cup.  Ladling wine into a person's wine bowl.

    Li Er¡¯s doubts became even more intense. He couldn¡¯t figure out what Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were going to do today.  If everyone eats the food together, it is impossible to poison it.  The wine is placed in a golden goblet and poured into a wine bowl with a spoon.  If they are poisoned, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji will not be able to escape.

    Pour the wine into the bowl, it is clear and the aroma is strong.  At first glance, it looks like the finest Yunjia steamed wine!

    "Second brother, this is the first bowl of wine for you. Everything will be prosperous in our family. I hope that we brothers will be as harmonious as today in the future. This is not only the blessing of our brothers, but also the blessing of the Tang Dynasty. Come on, do it!" Li Jiancheng  Pick up the wine bowl and drink it all in one gulp!

    No matter how Li Er looked at it, the bowl in front of him didn't look like a bowl of poisonous wine.  Even if it was poisonous wine, Li Jiancheng poured it into his stomach first.

    "Second brother, do it!" Seeing Li Er not moving, Li Yuanji also drank the steamed wine in front of him.

    Now Li Er had no choice but to follow the two brothers and drink.  After a bowl of wine, my throat and stomach seemed to be on fire.  He exhaled the breath of alcohol and drank "Good wine."

    "The second brother doesn't know, but this is the wine that the eldest brother buried in the Taiyuan Mansion in his early years. There are only these three jars in the world. Today, my brother is also blessed by you." Li Yuanji said with a smile.

    "Hey! At that time, Yunhao had just come to our house and made the first batch of steamed wine and sent it to the house. I heard that the wine became mellower as it got darker, so I thought about burying a few jars of it to wait for the family to get married.  When the time comes, we brothers can just get drunk and rest. What a pity!"

    "Brother, Chengzong!" Speaking of this nephew who died young, Li Er was not in a good mood.

    "I don't know what happened, but I buried more than a dozen jars. But these are the only jars that were recovered intact. The rest were broken for some reason. Maybe God only allows us brothers to drink this  Three jars. Come on, don't go home until you're drunk today." Li Jiancheng was reminded of his sadness, so he picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

    Li Er had no choice but to drink another bowl.

    "Brother, Chengzong has left. Isn't there still Chengdao? Don't be sad. Today is a happy day for us three brothers. Don't just drink and eat some food. Second brother, the leg of lamb today is good. Big brother specializes in  You can try the imperial chef I borrowed from my father!" After Li Yuanji finished speaking, he used his own silver chopsticks to pick up a piece of lamb leg for Li Jiancheng and Li Erren.

    "The cooks in the imperial kitchen are all from the Yun family. Their craftsmanship is still a little worse than that of the Yun family, but it is much better than the cooks in the East Palace. Second brother, eat!" Li Jiancheng picked up the mutton leg and stuffed it into his mouth.  Chewing heavily, he nodded frequently while eating, as if he wasn't the one who was sad just now.

    Li Er didn¡¯t know what tricks the two of them were playing, but he made up his mind.  After they had picked up everything, Li Er stretched out his chopsticks to pick it up.  Everyone used silver chopsticks. I looked carefully and saw that the chopsticks were shiny and there was no trace of darkness at all.

    Could it be that the reason why I came here today is really to eat?

    "You guys, you don't even think about me when you're eating, you're so abominable!" A voice suddenly came in from outside the hall!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)It was only after they picked it up that Li Er stretched out his chopsticks to pick it up.  Everyone used silver chopsticks.
