Chapter 732

The previous incident was just friction; now it could only be called a direct confrontation.

"The Right General of the Household is wrong, the General of the Vanguard..."

"General Cao is wrong, isn't he?"

Huangfu Song, who was sitting beside Zhu Jun, also spoke at this time. "Not to mention whether there is any military merit to be gained from the chaotic soldiers in the city, since Xun Lao personally issued the invitation, the General of the Vanguard should have arrived on time."

"Could it be that because he was promoted to General of the Vanguard, he needs Xun Lao to personally invite him?"

"We, as juniors, how can we not even distinguish the order of seniority?"

As soon as Huangfu Song said this, he directly labeled Duan Yu's failure to arrive on time as arrogant behavior.

Besides being knowledgeable, Xun Shuang valued filial piety the most.

Order of seniority and respect for elders—this was Xun Shuang's way of life.

And Huangfu Song happened to use Duan Yu's failure to respect seniority as an issue.

This was equivalent to saying in front of the Xun clan members that Duan Yu didn't put the Xun clan in his eyes at all.

Cao Cao was anxious when he heard Huangfu Song say this.

When they came to Yingyin, Duan Yu had said he wanted to visit the Xun clan.

He hoped to recruit two great talents of the Xun clan to Liangzhou.

If the Xun clan members felt this way, then what would Duan Yu visit the Xun clan for?

Cao Cao looked toward the Xun clan members sitting opposite.

Sure enough, after Huangfu Song finished speaking, the Xun clan members' expressions were all quite ugly.

Xun Shuang, sitting in the main seat, smiled slightly and waved his hand. "The Left General of the Household is overthinking it."

"Perhaps General Duan really has important matters."

"No matter, no matter, let us drink first, drink first."

Xun Shuang raised his feather cup again.

Seeing the expressions of the Xun clan members, Huangfu Song also knew that everything that needed to be said had been said.

As for the rest, let Duan Yu experience it himself when he arrives later.

Cao Cao was anxious, but it wouldn't be good to leave the banquet at this time.

He could only bite the bullet and stay.

The Xun mansion was filled with singing and dancing.

While a place in the west of the city was silent.

Duan Yu stood outside the West Gate of Yingyin City with hundreds of cavalrymen.

Beside him was Xun Yu, who was being dragged along somewhat reluctantly.

"General of the Vanguard... Uncle is hosting a banquet in the mansion, and it is getting late. If we don't go back now, I'm afraid... I'm afraid it will be too late."

Xun Yu, wearing a grey robe and a high mountain cap, rode his horse beside Duan Yu.

Listening to Xun Yu's tactful expression, Duan Yu just smiled.

And seeing Duan Yu just smile, Xun Yu frowned slightly.

In the afternoon, Xun Yu had been ordered to go outside the city to invite Duan Yu.

This was still out of respect for Duan Yu's current status as General of the Vanguard.

If he were just an ordinary General of the Household, the Xun mansion might only have sent someone of average status in the clan to convey the message.

Xun Yu was undoubtedly the standout of the next generation of the Xun mansion.

He was of the same generation as Duan Yu, and sending Xun Yu was quite respectful.

But what Xun Yu hadn't expected was.

At first, Duan Yu just said he had some things to deal with and that they should wait a while.

And Xun Yu had originally wanted to return to the mansion to report, but he was held back by Duan Yu, using the excuse that he wasn't familiar with where the Xun mansion was.

Xun Yu thought he would wait a while.

But this wait lasted nearly two hours.

And after Xun Yu urged him several times, Duan Yu brought him to the west of the city.

Xun Yu originally thought Duan Yu wanted to enter the city from the west.

But when they arrived at the west of the city, Duan Yu stopped.

It was already dark.

Xun Yu didn't need to think to know that the night banquet in the mansion must have already begun.

The fact that they hadn't returned by this time meant Duan Yu's behavior was already very rude.

"General Duan, Uncle has always valued etiquette. If General Duan really has something to do, I can go back and report it on your behalf, so as to avoid Uncle waiting in vain or misunderstanding."

Xun Yu frowned and said, "What does General Duan think?"

"Heh." Duan Yu smiled and said, "Since Wenruo is in a hurry, let's enter the city. But before going to the Xun mansion, I have to take Wenruo to watch a play."

"Actually, I've been hungry for a long time too."

"It's just that this play is relatively exciting."

"And if there's no one to witness it, it might lack a bit of meaning."

"It just so happens that Wenruo's status is appropriate, which is why I've kept you here until now."

"But calculating the time, it should be about right."

Duan Yu said, waving his sleeve, "Let's go, let's enter the city and watch the play."

Saying this, Duan Yu rode into the city first, while Xun Yu, who followed behind, was completely bewildered.

Watch a play?

Watch what play? ===== CHAPTER 734 =====
