In fact, Qin Prajna was not qualified to attend such a banquet, but since she was brought by Prince Yu, others could not say anything even if they were dissatisfied.

The servants, who had already been in place, served wine and food to everyone one by one. Everyone was talking and laughing, and they were having a great time.

Another kind of wine was served, and Yan Yujin couldn't help but sighed: "This is the ninth kind of wine, right? Brother Su's dishes are fine, but the best thing is that each dish is paired with a different wine, which really has a unique flavor."

Prince Yu smiled and said, "Yujin, you are a wine lover. Can you name all the many kinds of wine that Mr. Su has?"

Yan Yujin picked up the wine glass and said, "This should be Qiuyuebai."

Mei Changsu said to Prince Yu: "Yu Jin is a wine lover, so it's not surprising that he guessed it."

Then he looked at Xiao Jingrui who seemed to be worried: "Jingrui, how many kinds can you taste?"

Xiao Jingrui raised his head and said, "I can't. I can only taste three kinds. One is Zhaodianhong, one is Zhuyeqing, and the other is Sangluojiu."

Yan Yujin next to him was shocked: "No way, you can taste the difference between Zhaodianhong, Zhuyeqing and Sangluo?"

Xiao Jingrui explained, "During the Chinese New Year, Brother Qingyao gave a small jar to Xie Bi. I tasted a little, so I remember it. As for the Bamboo Leaf Green and Mulberry Wine, Brother Yu invited me to drink them when I was traveling with Brother Yu before."

Yan Yujin's eyes suddenly widened: "You guys drank Zhaodianhong and didn't invite me? I will never talk to Xie Bi again. And Brother Yu, you are too disloyal. You invited Jingrui to drink Zhuyeqing and Sangluo wine, but didn't invite me."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Yujin, what you said is true. When I first bought the mansion in the capital, you came to my place quite often, and a lot of my good wine went into your stomach."

"Haha, that's true. Brother Yu is loyal and generous." Yan Yujin gave Zhou Chen a thumbs up.

Mei Changsu saw that the atmosphere was very good and said with a smile: "Speaking of fine wine, I have to mention my good friend Luosha. He is also a wine lover. Many of the fine wines we drank before were brewed by him. He is also the person who knows the most about wine that I have ever met."

When these words were spoken, many people present were surprised.

Yan Yujin asked curiously, "Brother Su, the Luosha you are talking about is probably the deputy leader of your Jiangzuo League, Luosha who ranks fifth on the Langya Masters List? Is he also a wine lover?"

"Yes, that's him. He's also a wine lover. Yujin, if you two were together, you would definitely have a lot of common topics."

"Brother Su, now that you mention it, I really want to meet this Luosha brother urgently."

Mei Changsu smiled and said, "It's a pity that he is not in the capital, otherwise I would definitely introduce him to you."

Xia Chun's eyes flickered a few times. Luosha has always been his target of suspicion, but he was not sure whether Luosha was in the capital. Judging from Mei Changsu's tone, is Luosha really not in the capital?

Chapter 844: Mini-game, the plan to eliminate Xie Yu begins

Mei Changsu slowly put down his wine glass and said with a smile, "I'm half drunk, and it's boring to sit here like this. Last night I thought of a way to play, I wonder if you guys are interested."

When he heard that there was something to play, Mu Qing, the youngest and most fun, quickly put down the wine glass at his lips and said happily: "Even if we don't play, we have to ask what the idea that Jiang Zuo Meilang came up with is, Mr. Su, tell me."

Because Mu Nihuang knew Mei Changsu's identity, she had more contact with Mei Changsu in the past few months. Even during the Chinese New Year, Mei Changsu personally went to Prince Mu's mansion as a guest.

Mu Qing saw that his sister treated Mei Changsu very well, although he felt that Mei Changsu was too weak and his personality and interests were not as good as Zhou Chen's.

However, thinking that Brother Yu already had a woman, a woman who came from a brothel, he felt that he could not let his sister suffer this injustice. In comparison, although Jiang Zuo Meilang was physically weak, he had no romantic affairs. Although he had no martial arts skills, he was very smart and was a good choice.

He felt sad in his heart that although his sister was not very ambitious, he, as her younger brother, had to worry about her marriage.

Mei Changsu smiled and said, "I had the good fortune to obtain a bamboo slip musical score before. I spent a long time trying to decipher it. It seems to be a long-lost ancient piece of music, Guangling San."

Yan Yujin was so excited that he was about to stand up and ask, but Xia Chun asked first: "Is it really Guangling San?"

Xia Chun was also a music fanatic, and he was very eager for the lost musical score Guangling San.

Mei Changsu said, "I hid this score somewhere in the garden last night. You can look for it anywhere, indoors or outdoors. I will give it to whoever finds it first."

Meng Zhi, Mu Nihuang and Xia Dong, the three people who knew the situation in Su's house, all changed their expressions drastically when they heard that Mei Changsu actually allowed everyone to search freely. They no longer smiled at all.

Xia Dong, in particular, was so nervous that he couldn't control his expression and his hands were shaking.

Because she also knew the secret passage connecting the Su Mansion to Prince Jing's Mansion, and her husband Nie Feng was hiding in the secret passage at the moment. If someone found the secret passage, Nie Feng would definitely be exposed.

Although Nie Feng was not labeled as a traitor to the Chiyan Sect at the beginning, if the news of his resurrection spread, it would definitely cause an uproar. He would then become a thorn in the eyes of Xia Jiang and Xie Yu, and they would do everything they could to get rid of him.

So she was actually more nervous than Meng Zhi and Mu Nihuang, and even kept signaling to Mei Changsu with her eyes, but Mei Changsu acted as if he saw nothing and did not move.

Xia Dong had no choice but to turn and look at Zhou Chen again, hoping that Zhou Chen could persuade Mei Changsu.

But instead of saying anything, Zhou Chen raised his glass and gestured to Xia Dong, which made Xia Dong so angry that she glared at him fiercely.

Of course Zhou Chen knew why Mei Changsu did this, but Meng Zhi and the others didn’t, so they were so nervous.

Yan Yujin asked happily: "Brother Su, are you serious?"

"Of course." Mei Changsu nodded with a smile.

"Great."

Yan Yujin pulled Xiao Jingrui and Mu Qing beside him and said, "Jingrui, Young Prince Mu, shall we form a team of three?"

"Okay." Mu Qing and Xiao Jingrui both had no objection.

Prince Yu laughed and said, "Yu Jin is really good at finding helpers. Neither of them is interested in music theory. If they really find someone, it will still be Yu Jin's in the end."

Everyone laughed.

Xia Chun said confidently: "It's too early to tell who will win the game now."

Xia Dong pretended to be calm and said, "Brother Chun, do you need help? I can help you find it."

Xia Chun said: "If Junior Sister is willing, I certainly wouldn't mind."

Xia Dong looked at Zhou Chen again: "I heard that Master Yu is not only a martial arts expert, but also can write poetry and lyrics, and is even good at music. I guess he is also interested in Guangling San, right?"

"I……"

Zhou Chen was about to speak when Mu Nihuang suddenly said, "I'm also quite interested. If you don't mind, Brother Chen, how about we team up as a team?"

Zhou Chen instinctively wanted to refuse, but when he found that Mu Nihuang and Xia Dong were both staring at him, he could only smile bitterly and nod.

"Ok."

Yan Yujin took the lead in leaving the pavilion, and then everyone else left one by one. In the end, only Mei Changsu, Prince Yu, Meng Zhi and Qin Banruo remained in the pavilion.

Yan Yujin took Xiao Jingrui and Mu Qing and began to search around the yard, while Xia Chun quickly went into the house.

Xia Dong said, "Brother Chun, you look for it here, I'll go over there and help you look for it."

"Okay, go ahead."

Xia Chun has already been absorbed by Guangling San. He only wants to find Guangling San. As for other things, he doesn't care at all.

Zhou Chen followed Mu Nihuang, and before he entered the house, he saw Xia Dong walking towards him in a hurry.

"Nihuang, Xiaochen."

Mu Nihuang pulled Xia Dong, then winked at Zhou Chen, and the three of them quickly walked into Mei Changsu's room.

As soon as he entered the room, Xia Dong couldn't wait to ask: "What's wrong with Xiao Shu? How can he let people search his garden at will? What if the secret compartments and secret passages he built are discovered? Xiaochen, why don't you stop him from doing such dangerous things?"

Mu Nihuang also asked: "I don't understand why this happened. Do you know the reason?"

Zhou Chen was helpless. To be honest, Mei Changsu had never told him about this matter, but even if he didn't know the plot, he could understand why Mei Changsu did this.

He was confident in the secret passage he built and was not afraid of being found. Even if it was really found by Xia Chun and others, he had a way to cover it up.

But facing these two aggressive women, he could only bite the bullet and say, "I don't know about this matter either, but don't worry too much. From what I know about him, nothing unexpected will happen."

Xia Dong said anxiously, "What if? What if we are discovered? My brother Chun is very good at the art of Qimen Dunjia. If he finds the problem and the secret passage, we will be in big trouble."

Zhou Chen said: "If you didn't already know where the secret passage was, would you be able to find it if you were asked to search for it out of thin air?"

"How can you make such an assumption?" Xia Dong didn't believe it at all. She only cared about not letting her husband be discovered.

Zhou Chen sighed: "Don't worry, Xia Chun won't be able to find him."

Xia Dong was still worried. She glanced in the direction of the secret passage in Mei Changsu's room. She knew that Nie Feng was in the secret passage, but she couldn't go down to see him now.

"Let's go out. The longer we stay here, the more suspicion we will arouse."

Seeing that Zhou Chen was full of confidence, Xia Dong and Mu Nihuang had no choice but to follow Zhou Chen out.

They had just walked out a few steps when they saw Qin Banruo walking towards them quickly. After seeing them, he saluted with a friendly smile, then walked to the next room and started looking for something.

Mu Nihuang frowned and said, "Isn't she someone brought by Prince Yu? I remember Brother Lin Shu mentioned that she is a powerful person. How come she is involved too?"

Xia Dong said worriedly, "I think this girl is sneaky and has bad intentions. She is definitely not a good person. Should we do something about it?"

Zhou Chen shrugged and said, "If you want to watch, go ahead. I don't have the time. Let's find a place to rest first."

After saying this, he ran away without paying any attention to the two women's dissatisfied looks, not wanting to join in the fun.

After finding a place to take a nap for a while, he slowly returned to the pavilion. When he came back, he found that everyone had already returned and was chatting happily.

Seeing that he had only just returned, Yan Yujin immediately laughed and said, "Brother Yu, where have you been? I've already found the sheet music, why did you just return now?"

Zhou Chen said, "When I was looking for something just now, I found a martial arts secret book. The secret book that Brother Su collected must be extraordinary, so I was so engrossed in reading it that I didn't think of coming back until now. Brother Su, you don't mind, right?"

Mei Changsu smiled and replied: "Brother Yu, you are too polite. It is just a martial arts secret book. If it can catch your eye, then that is its destiny."

"Brother Su is indeed a talented man, and he speaks so nicely." Zhou Chen complimented.

Everyone stayed in the pavilion for a long time, and finally left after the banquet was over.

The others really left, but Mu Nihuang, Meng Zhi, Xia Dong and Zhou Chen did not leave. They left openly but secretly returned to Mei Changsu's room.

After Mei Changsu and the others sent their guests away and returned to the room, they saw Zhou Chen and the other three.

"You guys moved pretty fast. You came back not long after we left."

Meng Zhi's face was dark, and he shouted in dissatisfaction: "Xiao Shu, you are too reckless. How could you let them rummage around here at will? I was really scared and broke into a cold sweat. Qin Banruo and Xia Chun are both famous masters of mechanical devices. What if they discover the secret passage?"

Mei Changsu said calmly: "I designed this game for them. The secret passage that Qin Banruo and Xia Chun can't find is the real secret passage."

Meng Zhi said anxiously, "This secret passage leads to Prince Jing's mansion. We should be prepared for the worst."

Mei Changsu said, "I specially rebuilt this secret passage. Even if they dig it out, they can only see a secret room. How can I take this risk without absolute certainty? Didn't you see that Xiaochen is not in a hurry at all?"

Xia Dong glared at Zhou Chen and said, "Yeah, he's not in a hurry at all, but you two scared us half to death."

Mei Changsu smiled and asked Li Gang to take Xia Dong to bring Nie Feng out of the secret passage. They talked for a while, mainly asking Zhou Chen and the others not to tell Prince Jing about his true identity.

He knew Prince Jing Xiao Jingyan too well. If Prince Jing knew his true identity, he would definitely have many concerns about many of his subsequent plans, and many things would not be easy to carry out.

After Meng Zhi and others knew of Mei Changsu's plan, they had no choice but to agree and persuade them. Then Mei Changsu went alone through the secret passage to meet Prince Jing.

End of March!

There were only Zhou Chen and Mei Changsu in Mei Changsu's room.

"Lin Chen's actions are quite quick, and things are going smoothly. The Nanchu delegation will soon arrive in Beijing. They are here in the name of seeking marriage."

When Mei Changsu got the news, he shared it with Zhou Chen immediately. This was a very important part of their plan.

Only with the help of Princess Yuwen Nian of Nanchu can Xiao Jingrui's identity be confirmed. Otherwise, their words are not enough, and even if what they say is true, it will easily arouse suspicion.

Zhou Chen said: "My senior brother is usually careless, but he is trustworthy. Jing Rui's birthday is in a dozen days. To be honest, Jing Rui is a really good person. If he knew the truth, he would definitely be hit hard. Alas."

If his relationship with Xiao Jingrui was just average, he would not have such feelings, but Xiao Jingrui was indeed a gentleman worthy of close friendship. After getting along for such a long time, he also sincerely regarded Xiao Jingrui as a friend.

He really couldn't bear to do something that would hurt his friend, but he could control himself, knowing that he had to do it.

"Why am I not?"

Mei Changsu also had a complicated expression, but he quickly regained his composure.

"We have no way out now. Xie Yu must defeat him on April 12th."

Zhou Chen nodded and said, "You are right, Jing Rui is innocent, but aren't we innocent too?"

Mei Changsu was silent for a while, then he said: "The Nanchu delegation has entered the capital, and Gong Yu will be needed next. Are you willing to let her go?"

Zhou Chen said: "To be honest, I really don't want to let her go, but I know what to choose. When she takes action, I will follow behind and watch her. I have been to the Ningguo Marquis' Mansion many times, and I know the guards very well. Nothing will happen."

"With your words, I feel relieved."

Mei Changsu knew that Zhou Chen was an extremely protective person, and Gong Yu was Zhou Chen's woman, so he had some reservations.

"I'll talk to Gong Yu tonight."

At night, Zhou Chen told Gong Yu about this.

After hearing this, Gong Yu said firmly, "I can do it. I have waited for this day for too long. Sir, I will not let you and the Sect Master down."

Seeing her determination, Zhou Chen could only say, "Well, I believe you. I will follow you when the time comes. Don't let yourself get hurt too much, or I will feel bad, understand?"

"I know, sir." Gong Yu leaned on Zhou Chen's chest and answered softly.

The Southern Chu delegation finally arrived in Jinling City, and Emperor Liang actually asked Prince Yu to be responsible for welcoming the Southern Chu delegation. You must know that the Southern Chu delegation was led by a prince. According to etiquette, the person in charge of the liaison should be one level higher than the prince, that is, only the crown prince is qualified to welcome them on behalf of Emperor Liang.
