Chapter 123: Sioux City's Troubles
Lin Xiao hadn't had a good rest for a long time, and he slept groggily this night, and didn't wake up slowly until noon the next day.
"Well, I'm a little hungry!" Lin Xiao squinted slightly and stretched his waist, there was already a rumbling sound in his stomach, and he smiled awkwardly.
"Hey, you guy, we're going to break down the door before you wake up!"
The fat man shouted at the top of his voice, and the whole inn could hear his echo! Lin Xiao plucked out his ears and hurriedly went over to open the door.
"Lin Xiao, you won't wake up until now, right?" Lin Yun looked up and down, seeing that Lin Xiao's clothes were wrinkled, his hair was not combed, and his eyes were wide, he couldn't believe it, Lin Xiao was the most diligent and hardworking person among them!
"No, aren't you going to see that Sioux City today? It's noon, why are you still in the inn?
The gatherings held by the magnates in the capital all started at noon, and the rules were very strict, and they were already offended, and the guy who arrived late would definitely have to use the topic to play again, making it difficult for Lin Xiao, Zhang Yuanyuan hurriedly reminded him.
"I've been a little tired lately, so I've slept a little longer, I'm already late anyway, you go down and order me something to eat first, I'll tidy it up first!"
After saying that, Lin Xiao took care of himself and went to the back of the screen to start tidying up, but the three of them were blushing and their necks were thick, and Lin Yun hurriedly went downstairs and prepared something for him to eat casually and brought it up.
"Thanks, man. Lin Xiao quickly cleaned up, looked at Linyun gratefully when he saw the food on the table, and then picked up a bowl of porridge and ate it with side dishes.
"What's so delicious about this, there are a lot of delicacies from the mountains and seas in Sufu, isn't it good to keep your stomach and rub it?" The fat man couldn't help but remind him when he saw that Lin Xiao was so illiterate.
"You have such a big heart! Lin Xiao didn't really go to the banquet! Who is like you, I think about eating every day. Zhang Yuanyuan was angry and scolded the fat man.
"Yes, or we will follow you, wait for you outside, and notify us immediately if something is wrong. Lin Yun was very worried about Lin Xiao, so he couldn't worry that he would go to the meeting alone, so he hurriedly proposed.
"Don't worry about me, with my strength, although I can't fight one against a hundred, it's not a problem to escape, not to mention that I will bring the eagle, you can rest assured that you can wait for me to come back here!"
Lin Xiao drank a bowl of porridge in two clicks, and after eating two buns, his stomach was full, and he said slowly.
"Okay, we support your choice!" Lin Yun patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder.
"Then I'll go first, don't worry that I won't stay too long, that kind of occasion is not for me. Lin Xiao glanced at the three of them and strode out of the inn and leaped in the direction of Nancheng, which could save a lot of time.
I heard that Dongcheng is inhabited by relatives of the emperor, and there are thousands of acres of land in a palace alone, which is magnificently built and has beautiful scenery.
This southern city is the gate of important officials from the first to the third rank of the imperial court, and the scenery is second only to the east city! Although he is also the first time to come, but with the relationship between Su Cheng and the prince, his family is definitely not bad.
"Whew! It's finally here, this Su family is flamboyant and magnificent. Lin Xiao flew for half an hour, and he could see the two big characters engraved with dragon flying and phoenix dancing on the rosewood plaque, which was Su Mansion.
Lin Xiao tidied up his clothes, eased his breath, stepped forward to hand over his invitation, and then strode towards the inner courtyard of the mansion.
"A poor ghost, he didn't come with a salute and a face, he had no face and no skin, hmph! You go and inform the young master, saying that the poor boy has come!" the butler flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly, and then ordered the family to pass the word.
As soon as Lin Xiao entered the door, Su Cheng had already received the news, but he didn't come forward for a long time, and there was no one to guide him, and even the maid who delivered the tea saw that he was not kind to his eyes, so he took a detour directly, it seemed that he wanted to give him a dismount.
Lin Xiao was not angry, kept walking, and finally came to the living room, most of the guests had already arrived at this hour, and when they saw Lin Xiao coming in, they and the others bowed their heads and didn't know what they were muttering.
"Grunt!" Lin Xiao was a little thirsty, quickly took a cup of tea from the maid, and took two sips.
"It's really a poor boy, vulgar can't be on the table, such a good tea should be tasted carefully, how can it be like him chewing peonies!"
One of the guests couldn't see it, so he discussed it in a whisper with his friend next to him, the voice was not loud or small, Lin Xiao could hear it, and the others also whispered and discussed it privately.
Isn't this tea just for quenching thirst? Why can't he drink it in a big gulp, these people are really funny, Lin Xiao then calmly found a chair to sit down, too lazy to take care of them.
"You go and ask your master, I drank all this tea, and if he doesn't show up again, Lin Mouke will leave first!" Lin Xiao didn't like this occasion the most, and after saying a word to the maid on the side, he closed his eyes and recuperated.
The girl walked away quietly, and it didn't take long for Su Cheng to come out, and she was wearing a special bag today, and she was not a groom official, she was wearing red, and even her hair crown was red, Lin Xiao scoffed.
"Let you wait for a long time, take care of it, and please do a lot of Haihan, the banquet will start immediately, and then they will guide you to your seats. ”
The guests present all went to the banquet hall one after another, but Lin Xiao was still sitting there quietly.
"Okay, everyone is gone, can you tell me the purpose of inviting me here? ”
Lin Xiao didn't want to waste time with him here, so he went straight to the point.
"It's unbearable, you killed the people I sent, right? Su Cheng was sure that he was definitely him, but today he asked knowingly.
"You're embarrassed to send someone over to kill me, how can I be soft-hearted, to be honest, I really don't understand, where did I offend you?
"As the saying goes, it is better to settle grievances than to settle them, today we will open the skylight and make it clear, as for whether you want to always oppose me in the future? Or eliminate grievances, you are free. ”
Lin Xiao said bluntly, it is not a deep hatred, it is not bad to have one less enemy today, but if Su Cheng wants to fight him to the end, he is not a timid person.
