The difference in their figures was huge-Liu Ziyu was much smaller, but Lin Yi had bought several sets of clothes for both of them, and there were clothes suitable for Lin Yi in Liu Ziyu’s yard.


Liu Ziyu agreed and stood up to pick out his clothes. Lin Yi’s clothes weren’t very eye-catching, but they were all made of high-quality materials, fitting his purpose of being low-key and luxurious.


The two of them changed into their outer robes and immediately had a somewhat refined air. They also looked more heroic than ordinary scholars.

!!

After all, he was a commander who had led an Army of tens of thousands in battle. Ordinary scholars simply could not compare to him.


With their respective guards, they went out and got into the prepared carriage. After about 15 minutes, they arrived at the Grand courtyard where the banquet was held.


“Please show your invitation!”


The guards stopped Lin Yi and Liu Ziyu from getting off the carriage.


After the guard at the side handed over their invitations and checked them, he stepped aside and said,””Young masters, please come in. There will be someone to lead the way. Your guards may rest in the side hall.”


Lin Yi nodded to the four guards-it wasn’t appropriate to bring them to the banquet, after all, and the host had already made arrangements.


Liu Ziyu followed Lin Yi through the door, and as expected, there was a pretty maid with fair skin leading the way with a smile. There was a row of equally Pretty Maids standing beside her, probably the ones who were going to lead the way.


He followed the maidservant through many corridors and courtyards before finally arriving at a s.p.a.cious and luxurious Hall. There were two separate tables in the hall, and some fruits and melons were placed on them.


At the head of the table, there were two tables made of white jade. At this time, no one was there, so it was obvious that the two hosts had not arrived yet. As for the guests, there were quite a number of them.


The three Liu brothers, Sima Zhongxiao, Feng Zhi Peng, and the others had all arrived. These five people were more like people from the same country, coming and going together.


He’d left Lin Yi and Liu Ziyu aside, not even asking them to come along.


In addition to these five people, there were about 20 more people in the hall. People from the same Commandery and those who were close to each other would automatically gather together, which divided them into their own circles.


“Young master Sima, young master Liu, your seats are here. Please take a seat!”


The maid brought the two to the door and pointed at two adjacent seats not far from the door,””Before the two Majesties arrive, young master can have some fruits and desserts in your seat. You can also go and chat with the guests you are familiar with. However, when your Majesties arrive, please be sure to return to your seat.”


Lin Yi raised an eyebrow and nodded, not saying anything.


Lin Yi and Liu Ziyu weren’t at the bottom of the table, but they were definitely at the edge.


From this, it could be seen that the status of Hongshang Commandery was really not high among the other commanderies.


Sima Zhongxiao wasn’t in his seat. He was in the circle, smiling and chatting with the young masters from other commanderies. When he saw Lin Yi and Liu Ziyu, he pretended not to see them.


The others had noticed the newcomers, but after seeing where the two were seated, they no longer paid any attention to them. No one took the initiative to come over and say h.e.l.lo.


Lin Yi didn’t mind at all as he sat down with Liu Ziyu. It was good that no one came to greet them-the two were happy to be free, and had no interest in entertaining these young masters.


“Cousin Zhong da, Sima Zhongxiao is really an embarra.s.sment. I feel disgusted just by looking at him like that!”


After Liu Ziyu sat down, he glanced at Sima Zhongxiao’s side. His brows furrowed slightly, and he revealed an unhappy expression.”No matter what, he is the eldest grandson of the Commandery Prince of our Hongshang Commandery. How can he be so humble and curry favor with people from other commanderies? The face of Hongshang Commandery has almost been completely ruined by him. ”


Although there was some distance between the two sides, everyone was a body-tempering martial artist and had sharp ears and eyes.


Sima Zhongxiao didn’t try to cover up his words, so Liu Ziyu could hear all the flattery clearly.


He was the eldest grandson of the Commandery Prince of Hongshang Commandery, but he was submissively kneeling and licking the boots of people from other commanderies. It was simply embarra.s.sing!


Liu Ziyu didn’t even want to say that he knew Sima Zhongxiao!


He lowered his voice, not because he was afraid that Sima Zhongxiao would hear him, but because he felt that it would be embarra.s.sing to let people know that he and Sima Zhongxiao were from the same country.


“Don’t worry about him. He has earned his own reputation. He has no right to represent Hongshang Commandery.”


Lin Yi smiled faintly as he popped a grape into his mouth.”Maybe he thinks this is an opportunity to build a good relations.h.i.+p with the young generation of various countries, which will help him improve his status in Hongshang Commandery.”


Actually, it wasn ‘t! No matter how much foreign aid you have, it’s not much use even if you get the power of Hongshang Commandery. Internal factors are still the key.


The strength and influence within the Commandery was the most important point.


Lin Yi was confident that as long as he was in Hongshang Commandery, Sima Yunfei’s faction would never be able to defeat Sima Yun’s faction.


In other words, no matter how much Sima Zhongxiao kneeled and fawned over others, in the end, he would still have to go home and sing his losses!


“Hehe, with his performance, how could he possibly gain the respect of others? I’m afraid that they might not even want to be dogs. ”


Liu Ziyu sneered in disdain.


Among the commanderies adjacent to Hongshang Commandery, seitong Commandery and heimei Commandery had already been defeated. The relations.h.i.+p between Huangyan Commandery and Hongshang Commandery was still okay, but it was not to the point where it could affect the state affairs of Hongshang Commandery.


With Lin Yi and Liu Ziyu’s current status in the Hongshang Army, it was meaningless for Sima Zhongxiao to win over the commanderies that were further away!


“Everyone has their own choices. What he wants to do is his own business!”


Lin Yi shook his head and threw another grape into his mouth, chewing casually.”Although he does not have any moral integrity, this kind of person with no bottom line is even more terrifying when he acts like a demon. In the future, you should be more careful of him.”


In the future, Lin Yi would definitely leave Hongshang Commandery, and Liu Ziyu would face Sima Zhongxiao directly.


Now, he had to remind him, in case he looked down on Sima Zhongxiao too much.


You can look down on your enemies, but you must never underestimate them!


“Don’t worry, cousin Zhong da, I understand!”


Liu Ziyu was a smart person and naturally understood what Lin Yi meant.”He won’t have the chance …”


There wouldn’t be any opportunities, so there was no need to say it out loud. Everyone had a tacit understanding.


In fact, Liu Ziyu didn’t know that Lin Yi would leave, so he thought that Sima Zhongxiao had no chance of reaching the top.


After a while, a loud announcement came from outside the door,””The second Prince and the third Princess have arrived!”


The people who had gathered together immediately dispersed and quickly returned to their seats. They stood up straight and adopted a respectful posture.


When a young man and a young woman in gorgeous robes entered, everyone bowed in unison.””Welcome, Your Highness, the second Prince. Welcome, Your Highness, the third Princess!”
