Chapter 1969: Hongmen Banquet
Zhao Yang's face immediately became a little unsightly, no matter how many people scolded them and begged them to go to the door, they were not necessarily willing to go. Now they have condescended to appear in the inn, which is to give these people face, why are these people so ignorant?
Zhao Ling's face stiffened for a moment, but she was calmer than Zhao Yang, and soon said with a smile: "It's us who disturbed a few distinguished guests, so I'll take my little brother to leave first." ”
When Zhao Ling and his party left, Yuan Jin poked Xiao Chen's elbow and said with a smile: "Hey, I said that the young lady of the City Lord's Mansion has taken a fancy to you?"
Xiao Chen glanced at him and said lightly, "So what? Do you think I will bend my heart for her or give up my original plan for her?"
"Hahaha, Brother Xiao, although that Miss Zhao's face is hidden, judging from Zhao Yang's appearance, her appearance should not be bad, you really don't have any interest?"
Xiao Chen directly pushed Yuan Jin away, hugged the tiger cub and walked upstairs, and said by the way: "If you are interested, you can go by yourself, don't drag me on." ”
Since the tiger cub just came back, he has been whining in Xiao Chen's spiritual sea, saying that he has found some treasure. Others didn't notice the state of the tiger cub, but Xiao Chen did.
When he was outside the door, he still looked like he was angry, and when he entered the inn, he suddenly came to the spirit, but it was held by the phoenix, and many people's attention fell on the phoenix, but they ignored the tiger cub held by the phoenix.
"Say, what are you going to tell me?" Xiao Chen put the tiger cub on the table and poured himself a cup of tea.
His room was by the window, and from the half-open window, he could still see the lively street below, and from a distance, the pink figure at the end had not disappeared.
"Artifact! I smell the artifact!" The tiger cub excitedly turned around the table twice, slapping Xiao Chen's hand, and excitement was written in his eyes.
Xiao Chen was slightly puzzled, "Artifact, where did you smell it?"
"On that woman, I smelled the phoenix as I passed by her. ”
The woman in the tiger cub's mouth is Zhao Ling, the tiger cub said that Zhao Ling has an artifact hidden in his body, Xiao Chen didn't take it to heart at first, how Zhao Ling said it is also the daughter of the lord of a city, and it is not uncommon to have an artifact on his body.
But soon, he suddenly thought that yesterday he and Yuan Jin couldn't see through Zhao Ling's realm, and their divine senses were blocked back, and later the divine sense of immortal punishment was discovered for the first time, and at that time they thought it was because Zhao Ling's realm was higher than their own.
Face to face with Zhao Ling today, with yesterday's lesson, Xiao Chen did not easily explore Zhao Ling's realm, but he could see that Zhao Ling did not seem to be of a higher level than himself.
At that time, he was still puzzled, at this time, the tiger cub said that Zhao Ling had an artifact on his body, and Xiao Chen had a little more clear mentality.
Maybe the spiritual weapon on Zhao Ling's body can prevent others from probing the master's realm, and it is very well forged, at a critical moment, it will make people jealous of their master and dare not do it easily, it is really a good camouflage artifact.
"I see, thank you. Xiao Chen rubbed the white tiger's head.
The white tiger tilted his head to look at Xiao Chen, his big eyes were full of doubts, "I told you that there was an artifact on that woman, aren't you impressed?"
Xiao Chen was puzzled, "Why should I be tempted? It's her artifact and not mine, do you think I should grab it?"
The white tiger actually nodded, "Shouldn't it? The human race in my memory is like this, if you don't have a baby, you will grab someone else's treasure, and whoever is powerful will win." ”
Xiao Chen chuckled lightly and grabbed the tiger cub's ears, "The kind of person you said is simple-minded and has developed limbs, not to mention that the artifact on her body is not of much use to me, even if there is, it should be outwitted, not snatched." This is her territory, do you think I'm stupid or what's the matter, I'll just grab it?"
The tiger cub thought for a while with its eyes open in confusion, and shook its head, "You human thoughts are so complicated, I don't understand." ”
The time of the night is coming in a blink of an eye, it is time to go to the dinner, there are only two invitations, obviously only planning to invite Yuan Jin and Xiao Chen, so the rest of the people stayed in the inn, and they took the invitations to the City Lord's Mansion.
Zhao Ling was obviously a very careful person, perhaps worried that Xiao Chen and Yuan Jin would not be able to find their way to the City Lord's Mansion, so he even sent a servant to meet them.
Xiao Chen and Yuan Jin seemed to be a little late, and when they arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, there were already bursts of silk and bamboo sounds inside, as well as everyone's discussion and conversation.
"It's funny, it's really interesting to invite guests, but not to make the time clear. Yuan Jin said this with a smile, but his smile was a little cold.
"Two distinguished guests, please. ”
The servant at the door checked the invitation cards of the two, and led the two inside, Xiao Chen glanced at the building inside, the pavilion and water pavilion were very exquisite, and there were servants shuttling through the corridor, holding melons, fruits and wine in their hands.
"I heard that the city lord specially invited the people who entered the city yesterday, why haven't you seen anyone come at this time?"
Someone asked below, and the city lord sitting at the top smiled, looking quite kind, but what he said was a little unpleasant.
"Maybe it's because some things are delayed on the way here, but in the end, it's a distinguished guest, everyone is tolerant and tolerant. ”
"Heh, how can this city lord talk yin and yang, and he has a fight with his son. Yuan Jin rolled his eyes, walked quickly into the hall where the banquet was held, and before everyone had finished drinking a sip of wine, they saw Yuan Jin coming, and almost choked for a while.
Yuan Jin shook his fan and looked at the city lord with a smile, "The city lord is really interesting, the invitation you gave me didn't say that the banquet was held half an hour ago, but now you are saying behind your back that I am late, isn't it a little inappropriate?"
I didn't expect that there would be this kind of incident, and the people present were not stupid, and they could see that the city lord was deliberately embarrassing these two people, and for a while, everyone's eyes became dark.
Zhao Ling sat at the bottom left of the main seat, she had been cold since the banquet, and when she saw Xiao Chen and Yuan Jin coming, she looked at Xiao Chen with a little helplessness in her eyes.
Xiao Chen just glanced at her lightly, and did not make eye contact with her, but asked the city lord: "Seeing that the scene is full, the city lord doesn't seem to have arranged seats for the two of us." ”
Zao Wouji's face was ugly, especially the way he looked at Xiao Chen, with a faint hostility.
Since Xiao Chen and the others entered the city yesterday, every move of the group has been under the surveillance of Zao Wou-ki, including the subsequent dispute, Zao Wou-Ki also knew everything.
The reason why he paid so much attention to Xiao Chen's actions was nothing more than that city lord ring.
The city lord of Wumeng Valley turned out to be the young man in front of him? Zao Wou-Ki couldn't accept it in his heart.
Others only thought that he was the city lord of Ningyang City, and they didn't know that his family was the Zhao family, the big family of the Heavenly Saint Emperor's Capital, and later because they were somewhat defeated, they had to disperse and go around to develop, wanting to revive the family's previous glory.
