Cheng Jinluo was a little panicked for no reason. He didn't know Lin Rui, but he was familiar with the shopkeeper Li, and he also knew that there had never been such a number one person as Lin Rui in Xinling City. He stepped forward to greet the shopkeeper Li, waiting for him to introduce the people around him with an uneasy heart, but the shopkeeper Li only bowed his hand to him slightly, and then took Lin Rui to rub shoulders by him and walked over.

His heart trembled, and he suddenly turned around to grab Lin Rui's shoulder, only to be blocked in mid-air.

Bai Shaoqing frowned and let go of his hand, smiled coldly at Cheng Jinluo, and said: "Cheng Er's family is in a hurry, the young master of our family is here to celebrate Old Man You's birthday, and the old man is waiting in the hall, what's the matter, Cheng Er's family is not allowed to let guests in?"

Cheng Jinluo is so shrewd, he is just in a hurry, how can he fall into the hands of people after turning the corner, I saw him shrink his hand and stand still, laughing at a few people: "Where is it, today is a good day for us in Nanyan, naturally everyone who comes is a guest, a few, please." He had a smile on his face, but he was vigilant in his heart, and after giving his henchman Wang Si a look, he followed a few people into the hall.

At the moment, his expression was complicated, and his mood was indescribable.

Shaoqing is also here!

If others can still say it, Shaoqing is a general with official positions, and on such an occasion, he is wearing a cloth shirt and following Lin Rui's back, what kind of problem does it say? Who is he coming with? Who else is with him besides Lin Rui?

Fang Cai's feeling suddenly became stronger, and he raised his head to search the crowd for the figure he had just seen, but he didn't find anything.

"What's wrong?" Qiang Shuyang sensed that something was wrong with him, and turned his head to talk to him, he shook his head and remained silent.

Things are far more complicated than they imagined, it seems that in addition to Bai Yan flawless, the brothers who have been side by side together before have a very difficult time, no matter what kind of credit has been made, as long as the emperor has a gap in his heart, the loyal ministers often end up the worst, fortunately Shaoqing still has his own life, otherwise this world is impermanent, it is really embarrassing.

"Hurry up, hurry up, my hands and feet are numb, the guests have arrived, and the wine and food will be served to me!" The dining room was in full swing, and the housekeeper You Yun was urging the chef and the little worker in the dining room to pass the dishes, everyone was so busy that the soles of their feet were smoking, but he still chattered. Wang Si turned in from outside the door, pretended to look at the things on the table, and said with a smile: "The fifth brother is so lively here, let me see if the dishes are ready, the big boss and all the guests are here, why don't the fifth brother go to the front and say hello, here I am." ”

You Yun was already dizzy, listening to him take the initiative to ask for help, Bai Yan entered the door and saw Wang Si, who had been following Cheng Jinluo's side, running to the back kitchen, and suddenly secretly fell into his heart, Merry and Heng Yue bowed slightly to him, and after You Yun went out, Heng Yue smiled at Bai Yan and said, "You are back, we are so busy that we are about to burn." ”

"It's me late, sorry, sorry. Bai Yan also smiled and walked in, there were many people passing the food, he rubbed it when he passed by Wang Si, touched a small paper bag, threw it into Heng Yue's arms, patted it, and said: "There are too many people in the front yard, we have to be quick with our hands and feet, but we can't smash the signboard of our Wande Building." ”

"Don't worry, you can't smash it. Heng Yue patted his chest and reassured, carrying a stack of dishes and going around, Wang Si looked left and right, and walked to the front of the wine and food on the plate, Merry and Bai Yan pretended not to see it and worked hard, but Wang Si was dumbfounded when he had the opportunity.

"Huh?" he gasped and touched his arms, lowered his head and spun around a few more times, then turned around and glared at Bai Yan viciously.

"Stinky boy, dare to do something in front of the master!" he gritted his teeth and ran forward and grabbed Bai Yan's collar, but Bai Yan was much taller than him, and his fierce appearance was really a little embarrassing, Bai Yan looked down at him with an innocent face, and when he saw him angry, he shouted in surprise: "Master, what did you drop?" You tell the little one, and the little one will help you find it. ”

Heng Yue put the dishes and came back, and when he saw that Wang Si had grabbed Bai Yan, he hurriedly pretended to persuade him and squeezed over: "Master, you dissipate your anger, look for it again, did you put it somewhere and didn't touch it?"

Wang Si held back his anger and let go of Bai Yan and took it into his arms, and when he was about to be unrelenting, he touched the paper bag he was carrying, he was stunned for a moment, glared at the two of them and said, "Get out, get out of the way." ”

Bai Yanheng took advantage of the situation to step aside, Wang Si took advantage of the unpreparedness to sprinkle the powder in the paper bag into the dish, and then shouted to the girl who passed the dish: "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and serve the food." ”

"Yes. The girls should hold up the tray and walk out, Wang Si glanced coldly behind him, and then went out. Bai Yan gestured to Heng Yue, and then said to the merry: "Everyone should be together, and we should also play after the fire is withdrawn." ”

Merry wiped the beads of sweat from his face, threw the rag on his shoulder on the stove, and said, "Go!"

The table is delicious, but everyone at the table has their own thoughts.

You Tanzhi's face is good today, and he sits on the main seat with a bit of the majesty of the past. Cheng Jinluo sat next to him, which seemed to be convenient to take care of, but in fact, he was always restrained, beware of him being disturbed. The two adults Zhang Liu and Qiang Shuyang faced each other, a little embarrassed, and a little ridiculously stubborn.

The two of them were invited by Cheng Jinluo to support them, and the Beiwei General's Mansion has never taken them seriously, and the actual committee annoyed them, and today they laid a heavy army to ambush here, just to give Qiang Shuyang a dismount. They want to let this guy know that the local army will never be able to compete with the regular army of the imperial court, and with their two eastern and western counties in Xinling City, it will be impossible for the Xinling army to step on top of their heads!

Zuo Yu and Beitangchuan sat in the column, on the left was Qiang Shuyang, and on the right sat Li Zhangjiao and Lin Rui and others. Beitangchuan had already looked at Bai Shaoqing, but he didn't say hello, he only held the wine glass and nodded slightly, and then said a word to Zuo Yu, and Zuo Yu moved between his eyebrows, revealing a smile.

This birthday banquet seems to be calm, but in fact it is already turbulent, Cheng Jinluo secretly took a breath, and the hand holding the wine glass was trembling slightly.

No, don't be nervous!

Even if it was really that kid, the martial arts sect had fallen, and he was charged with assassinating the court officials, how could he dare to blatantly fight with himself!

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the day of my father-in-law's 60th birthday, thanks to your love, we can take root in Xinling and develop and grow, here, I salute you on behalf of my father-in-law, thank you for your face, I will do it first. Seeing Wang Si nodding to himself between toasts, Cheng Jinluo's heart finally had a trace of stability.

It is colorless and tasteless, and it can temporarily inhibit the internal force when sprinkled in the dish, no matter what kind of situation occurs later, as long as no one can fight, it will not poke too big a basket. I just want to take the position of the leader of the Southern Tobacco Merchant Gang steadily, and it is naturally good not to offend these people here, but if anyone dares to stop in front and can't get along with him-

"Hmph. A cold snort came out of his nose, and Cheng Jinluo's eyes showed the killing intent of a yin owl.

In this world, it has long been difficult to be safe, the border is full of smoke, and the heroes from all walks of life in the inland are scrambling to be the first, and in terms of strength, Nanyan can definitely hold up a piece of the sky, and with such a bargaining chip, it is to fight out of the encirclement! The two counties of the east and west are just their own stepping stones, and in the territory of Xinling, the court officials are the lords of the bright face, and the south smoke is the king of the secret land!

"Recently, I have rarely seen the old man out of this big house, and the Nanyan Gang has to be taken care of by the second master, which is really hard. As soon as he spoke, Lord Liu hurriedly followed, and the shopkeepers of the major commercial houses and shops echoed one after another, Cheng Jinluo hurriedly hugged his fists and humbly conceded, and walked behind You Tanzhi with a smile on his face.

"My father-in-law has done his best for the help of Nanyan merchants, and he has worked hard to help Nanyan today, he has made great contributions, come, we all salute his old man again. Cheng Jinluo quietly let everyone drink the second glass, and the good wine and food during the banquet were not restrained, and only half of the cup was soon left between pushing and changing the glass.

Qiang Shuyang tilted his head and stared at You Tanzhi for a long time, and suddenly walked towards him with a wine glass.

"Strange, why is Uncle You silent today? The tongue of the second master is so bright that it is almost impossible to mistake people for entering your family banquet. He sneered in his mouth, Cheng Jinluo's face turned pale for a while when he heard it, and he looked very embarrassed, but he just laughed to himself and walked in front of You Tanzhi without any scruples.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Uncle You's face, you've always been red and energetic, why is there always a little bit of gloom today, it's just that you've been stuffy in the house for too long, it's better to take you out for a walk, and we'll come back when you recover your spirit." After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to push the wheelchair that You Tanzhi was placed in, Cheng Jinluo finally couldn't hold his breath and grabbed his wrist, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law is fine, it's just that he is getting older, and he is always a little powerless, he still has a very important thing to announce today, and General Qiang still don't disrupt his plan." ”

"Oh, was it his plan, or was it ...... Your?" Qiang Shuyang let go of his hand, smiling a little meaningfully, Cheng Jinluo's face became more and more ugly, he put aside Qiang Shuyang and pushed You Tanzhi forward, cleared his throat, and raised his voice: "Everyone, today we Nanyan Merchant Gang have another very important thing to announce, this matter will be a momentous moment for us and everyone in Xinling City, my father-in-law—"

"I decided to give up my position as the leader of the Southern Tobacco Merchants Gang. You Tanzhi, who had been silent, finally spoke, his voice was a little muffled, mixed with a wet gong-like wheezing sound, and he looked strangely calm under Cheng Jinluo's aggressive coercion. He coughed a few times and stood up.

"The new leader of my Southern Tobacco Merchants Gang—"

The pale index finger crossed the head and pointed straight to a place in the banquet, You Tanzhi looked at Lin Rui's young and energetic face, laughed, and said, "The young master of the Chuan Martial Sect - Lin Rui succeeded to the throne!"
