Chapter 775 - 229 Ambush_3
Jih Heng and the six brocade-clad men behind her walked in.
After Yin Zhan had finished drinking, he casually tossed the wine jar aside, wiped his mouth, and exclaimed with satisfaction before turning toward Jih Heng. He laughed heartily, "Duke Su is here too, please!"
Jih Heng did not refuse and calmly took a seat.
This room was extremely spacious and the long table was only half occupied by Yin Zhan’s men. It was as if the other half was deliberately left empty for Jih Heng’s men, as though it was known in advance that Jih Heng would come. The two of them sat at opposite ends of the table. Yin Zhan raised his wine jar toward Jih Heng, who responded with a light smile. Wen Ji passed a wine pot to her, and she propped her head up with one hand and tilted her head back to drink, embodying the very essence of charm and easy grace.
A toast was made.
Jih Heng’s lips curled up, "The Prince of Xia County really makes one go through a lot to find him."
"But it was Duke Su who found him," Yin Zhan replied with an indifferent smile, "The waves behind drive on the waves before!" Raising the jar again, he continued, "Please!"
The laughter of women outside, the teasing of men, and the cheers of onlookers all disappeared in an instant. Aside from the guests behind the beaded curtain, only the actors on the stage outside kept singing relentlessly.
"Dim glow of the moon, amidst the golden wind, the drums and bugles sound sorrowful. Remembering the battles joined, countless have been the frosts and dews. When shall the wish to return home be fulfilled, when weapons are laid to rest in the sun and moon’s light?" Yu Ji turned around, her voice filled with melancholy and sorrow: "Yu Ji, under the tent of the Overlord of Western Chu, raised in seclusion and skilled in letters and sword from a young age; having followed the great king through battles east and west, enduring hardships and trials, not knowing when peace will come!"
"Yu Ji, Oh Yu Ji!" These words came from Yin Zhan’s mouth, his expression forlorn as if he remembered something, and he took a deep drink of wine.
Gazing at him, Jih Heng remarked with a half-smile, "Prince of Xia County seems deeply moved. I wonder if it’s Lin Roujia on your mind, or my mother, Yu Hongye."
