A few days after the Pyongyang War, the generals stationed in North Korea received news of peace talks with the Japanese, and they showed joy. They were not only happy that the war was about to end, but also that they could be promoted and made a fortune. Seeing this, Ye Zhikui had to shake his head secretly. Not to mention that the peace talks had not begun, even if the peace talks began, they were not careless at all. At the same time, they sighed at the generals' unwillingness to make progress.

The Qing Dynasty was already in its infancy, and these generals were all complacent because they won one or two wars. The Qing Dynasty only organized resistance slowly when others bullied them, and never thought about how to fight foreign wars and how to gain benefits in wars. No wonder people will slowly divide up their lives until they are divided.

Ye Zhikui ordered the Hu Yong Army to be on guard secretly and asked the butcher to move the intelligence network southward, monitor the movements of the Japanese army in Seoul at any time, and report to the higher authorities whenever there is any situation.

Today, after Ye Zhikui handled military affairs, he remembered that there was a celebration banquet held by the North Korean princess tonight for the generals. Looking at the time, it had already begun.

Why no one came to remind him! This cannot be blamed on his subordinates. Ye Zhikui had a habit of handling military affairs. He did not like others to disturb him. Emergencies were different. Obviously, with Ye Zhikui's usual attitude towards rejecting various banquets, his subordinates did not regard this as an emergency. Thinking of his and Queen Min, Ye Zhikui's mouth corners were bent into a curve.

The banquet was held at Anhe Palace, the old royal palace in Pyongyang. Before going, Ye Zhikui dressed up and changed into a casual outfit that he hadn't worn for a long time. He got on a carriage and rushed to Anhe Palace.

Ye Zhikui took off his military uniform and took off his tough and domineering a little, adding a bit of gentleness and tenderness. When Ye Zhikui entered the door, he was stopped by his disciples and asked for an invitation. Ye Zhikui forgot to bring him. In the end, Zuo Baogui, who arrived later, helped him to help him clear the siege. When the disciples learned that he had stopped Young Marshal Ye, they were very scared. Fortunately, Ye Zhikui was not a person who was unreasonable and did not blame him.

Zuo Baogui said as he walked, "Nephew, even I almost couldn't recognize you when you dressed like this. There was a young general missing and a young talent."

Ye Zhikui said embarrassedly: "Uncle Shi was joking. My nephew had known this was the case, so he came in a military uniform."

The two walked into the palace with a smile. The banquet inside had begun for some time. Queen Min had a very good idea. Because the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant after the victory, she placed various food, fruits and pastries in the center of the hall. A few seats were set up around the hall. There were dancers performing on the high platform inside. The palace maids came and went, adding wine and tea to everyone, and taking what they wanted to eat.

As soon as Ye Zhikui and Zuo Baogui entered the door, they became the focus of the room. It was not how they were so glorious, but that they came too late. When everyone saw Zuo Baogui, they pretended not to know that he had just arrived, but instead said hello. But when they saw Ye Zhikui, they were tired of it. Who is this person? He came so late and was so calm, without any sense of shame.

Zuo Baogui looked around and said to Ye Zhikui: "Nephew, I'm going there. I guess you young people don't like to talk to us old guys who are about to get into the ground."

Ye Zhikui smiled awkwardly and watched Zuo Baogui leave. Only then did he notice that because the banquet was not divided strictly, except for a few exquisite seats, the rest of the people sat at will, which also caused the familiarity of them to sit together.

Ye Zhikui suddenly found that he had no place to sit. The banquet included personnel from various battalions and above. With his status, he should follow Zuo Baogui before. But as Zuo Baogui himself said, the group of people he was going to were old men. Although Ye Zhikui knew it, he didn't want to go over and listen to these old men preaching the scriptures and theories, and he could not pee in a pot no matter how hard he was.

The other people I knew at the banquet were only his subordinates, and Ye Zhikui didn't want to go over and create a cold atmosphere. Everyone would be restrained when he passed, and the conversation would become cold.

Fortunately, the hall was wide enough, so Ye Zhikui didn't care, so he had to find a place with fewer people nearby to sit down.

After Ye Zhikui sat down, he found that the left and right were unfamiliar people. The man on the left was about forty years old, dressed in a standard literati, dressed in a public uniform and blue silk, and was not known to have an aide to him. While watching the dancer performing in high spirits, he drank from time to time. However, the man on the right was a strong man in the official uniform of the military camp. The strong man was drinking alone. Seeing Ye Zhikui looking over, he raised his glass and toasted Ye Zhikui. Ye Zhikui returned the gift and drank it.

The strong man leaned over and said, "Brother, I saw you come in with Zuo Shuai just now. Is it the brother of Fengjun?"

Ye Zhikui refused to comment and asked, "I saw my brother drinking alone, why is this?"

The strong man drank a glass and said, "Don't mention waiting for the birds, brother, you can see that I am a small battalion officer of Sheng Jun. I can't rub the sand in my eyes. I can't stand some people deducting the silver coins of the soldiers. I retorted a few words, "Shim, and just crossed out my military merits. It's bad luck, so I'll come to drink."

Although the strong man lowered his voice, the scholar seemed to have heard it, put down his wine glass, stretched his ears and eavesdropped. Seeing this, Ye Zhikui was secretly amused and said, "Brother, since he is interested, why don't you come and drink together?"

The scribe smiled embarrassedly and sat around. The three of them put a drink together. Ye Zhikui said to the strong man: "It seems that the one who can make your brother defeated is your guard."

The strong man looked around and said, "We Shengjun brothers are miserable. We can't compare with you Fengjun brothers. When we entered North Korea, we not only had to fight, but also had to dig the fields and farm the land, and the military pay was not paid on time. I thought it would be better when I arrived in North Korea. I was thief. When I arrived here, the military pay was paid, but the brothers' rewards were gone. I just couldn't stand it and refused to say a few words with the crowd, and I was excluded."

The scribe said, "Why don't you react to Marshal Ye?"

The strong man curled his lips and replied, "Mr. Ye can control our Shengjun. Besides, since ancient times, have you been officials and ministers? The brothers have no choice but to rob them all the way."

The scholar took a sip of wine and said, "I think your Shengjun riots in Pyongyang night are very strange, and the reason is not that simple."

Ye Zhikui lowered his head and didn't say anything. The strong man asked again: "What's wrong with it? Isn't it just a robbery?"

"No, how could the sergeant rob the Japanese for no reason?" The literati lowered his voice and said to Ye Zhikui and the strong man: "I suspect this matter has something to do with Young Marshal Ye. I heard that he was assassinated by the Japanese the day before the incident. Later, the sergeant said that the soldiers were jealous when they heard the tiger brave army say that the Japanese were rich."

Ye Zhikui choked on the wine when he heard this, but the strong man said, "Don't talk nonsense. I admire Young Marshal Ye the most. Even if it is true, there is nothing wrong with killing the Japanese."

The scribe laughed and said, "You don't know this, you know that Young Marshal Ye heard that he had murdered the Japanese because of a woman."

Ye Zhikui was speechless. Why do you literati who have nothing to do after eating and having nothing to do like to gossip everywhere? Although he was a little surprised that this literati could guess some facts, he was not regretful and afraid. Ye Zhikui did it and he did it. He held it tightly when the sky fell, not to mention that there was no clear evidence.

When the strong man heard this, he became interested and asked repeatedly. Ye Zhikui was sweating profusely. He looked at a black-bellied man, a fan man who kept gossiping about him and asked him something from time to time. It was really uncomfortable.

The three of them did not communicate with each other's names and they had a good relationship. Unfortunately, the three of them were interrupted after a long time.

A crisp voice came, "General Ye, why are you here? Is it because I am not well treated?" Queen Min stood not far away, followed by two palace maids, staring at the figure she had finally found.

"General Ye?" The strong man and the literati looked at each other, then looked at Ye Zhikui.

Queen Min obviously didn't understand what was going on and said, "No, the famous Ye Zhikui and Young Marshal Ye seemed to be very dissatisfied with my family, and she didn't even meet the host of the banquet."

When the strong man and the scholar heard this, their faces changed drastically. They had just talked about Ye Zhikui's "heard-about incident", so they hurriedly got up and escaped with their urine.

Ye Zhikui was about to recruit these two people! But she was disturbed by Queen Min. Seeing Queen Min's angry look again, Ye Zhikui had a headache.

Ye Zhikui had no choice but to stand up, take the wine glass, add a gift to Queen Min and said, "I am a rough general, how dare you disturb you, Empress?"

Queen Min snorted coldly and said, "What else do you dare not do?" Suddenly, she found that her words were a little ambiguous. She didn't know what she thought of, and her cheeks turned slightly red, as if she was dyed with a layer of rouge.

Ye Zhikui stepped forward and handed the wine glass to Queen Min. At the same time, when the two palace maids behind Queen Min were not paying attention, they gently hooked her white jade-like palms with their fingers, and said softly: "Wait for me tonight, I will secretly stay after the banquet."

Queen Min was attacked and her body shook slightly. She hurriedly took the wine and drank it. She didn't even have time to say anything on the scene and left in a hurry.

Ye Zhikui waited until the banquet ended, and before the two strong men and scholars who had escaped by urination, he had to get up quietly and hide in a side hall to wait for darkness.

After the sky finally got dark, Ye Zhikui was impatient and secretly emerged from the side hall and slowly touched the bedroom. During this period, he avoided the palace maids and patrolling soldiers several times, and finally arrived at the place where Queen Min lived. Ye Zhikui was a man with ulterior motives for a long time and had already hit Xiao Linglong many times, and found out the location of Queen Min's bedroom clearly.

Opening the window, Ye Zhikui gently stretched, then jumped in quietly, closed the window casually, Ye Zhikui walked forward lightly, and heard a rustling sound of water coming from the front. After walking a few steps, he turned a screen and saw Queen Min soaking in the bathhouse and rubbing her body.

The water vapor was hazy and looming, and the white and red body was even more tempting to commit crimes. Ye Zhikui accidentally touched the screen and made a slight sound.

Queen Min raised her head and saw that it was Ye Zhikui. She smiled charmingly, gently hooked her fingers, and said in a sweet voice: "Our general is here, I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

Ye Zhikui cursed the vixen inwardly, took off his clothes, jumped into the water, and said, "Xianzhu, why don't you come and rub the back of this general."

Queen Min gently stroked her a few times, and Ye Zhikui turned around and hugged her.

"No, it's not possible here, let's go to bed!"

"Beauty, you were wrong. Today I will play a new trick with you!"
