Chapter 46: Uninvited
Visitor registration continued until near midnight, and the five pavilions, each with a minimum of two floors and a maximum of four floors, were full of ten tables and ten seats per table. The scale of the feast is unprecedented.
Fortunately, the quality of the Mo family's subordinates is clear, and the reception, concierge, wine and food are all in an orderly and orderly manner. The experienced steward is like a soldier on the battlefield, and he is also the control center, and the commander is terrifying and acts step by step.
If you say that you haven't spent a lot of effort rehearsing and acting beforehand, no one will believe it.
After all the guests were seated, Mo Qinghan's father, Mo Xiao, came to the stage, and his spiritual power conveyed his words to every part of the five pavilions with his voice.
"Today is the little girl's birthday banquet, thanks to all of you for coming, it is Mo's honor. Please do not be inhibited in the slightest, and just go home with a good time. If there is any need, there are people in the palace arranged in each banquet hall, just let me know. Well, without further ado, the dinner party officially begins. ”
Mo Xiao withdrew his spiritual power, and his voice gradually stopped.
With the last dish on the table, the Manchu and Han feasts, fish, meat soup and wine, melons, fruits and vegetables, all are available. It's just that unlike the previous banquets, they were all served at once, and normally they were served one dish after another, and the Mo family's arrangement was unprecedented.
What makes the people here feel even more strange is that from beginning to end, except for Mo Xiao, who came forward before, none of the other big figures of the Mo family appeared. Even Mo Qinghan, the protagonist of this banquet, disappeared from beginning to end. This made the atmosphere of the banquet shrouded in a strange smell.
Although the scale of the banquet was grand, the people who came forward at the banquet were inevitably too casual and perfunctory. As soon as it came up, it just made people eat and drink well, not like a celebratory dinner, but like a simple banquet for everyone, gathered together for a full meal.
Could it be a Hongmen banquet, some people are already muttering in their hearts.
Halfway through the banquet, a young man in a black shirt walked into the banquet hall where Xuan Chen was, and the goal was very clear, it was the white-haired young man sitting in the front seat.
"Uncle and aunt. The black-shirted young man came to Xuanchen's side and said politely.
The three of them put down their chopsticks one after another, and Xiao Zhen got up first and saluted back and said, "Prince Mo Ling." ”
Mo Ling held a glass of wine in his hand, he pushed the wine glass, and said, "Tonight is the little sister's birthday banquet, and the younger generation has come to toast the uncle and aunt with a glass of thin wine." ”
"How can this make Mo Ling Gongzi too polite. Xiao Zhen and Lin Qing looked flattered.
Xuanchen on the side watched in confusion as the three of them pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and drank it three times. Thinking about what kind of medicine Mo Ling sells in the gourd, he arranged for people to sit and toasted enthusiastically.
When he was drinking just now, he lowered his eyebrows and secretly glanced at Xuanchen, with a little provocativeness, and he saw that Xuanchen's scalp was numb.
"Uncle and aunt, enjoy yourself to your heart's content, what do you need, I will order a maid to come over, you can tell her specifically. You're welcome, it's all as it should be. Mo Ling said again, the wine in the cup was empty, but he didn't see him move.
Xiao Zhen said: "Don't bother with Moling Gongzi, we are just a layman, just feel free."
"If Uncle Xiao is a layman, then isn't the younger generation a layman among the layman? This is what the younger generation should do, Uncle Xiao must not be polite. Mo Ling's gaze finally fell on Xuan Chen, "But the junior still has a reluctant request." ”
Xiao Zhen, under the envious gaze of the people around him, was already happy that his eyes were raised by a few centimeters, and he immediately smiled heartily and said, "Young Master Mo Ling, please speak." ”
"Can you let Brother Xuanchen go out with me, there is something I want to discuss with him, there are many people here, there are many inconveniences, and I ask my uncle and aunt to forgive me" Mo Ling said, and then quietly glanced at Xuanchen.
Xiao Zhen looked down at Xuanchen, who was looking at the probe to clip a piece of abalone on the opposite side, "Chen'er, go with Mo Ling Gongzi?"
But Xuanchen didn't stop his movements.
Lin Qing beside him stretched out his hand and pinched him hard behind Xiao Chen, Xiao Zhen held back the severe pain and did not change his face, and his eyes kept asking Xuan Chen for help: Hurry up, hurry up, and later Lao Tzu's meat will be pinched off by your mother.
Seeing this, Xuanchen had no choice but to get up and leave a sentence, "Father and mother, you wait for me for a while, and I will come when I go." ”
He and Mo Ling walked outside the banquet hall.
"You're so relieved that Chen'er will go out with him?" Lin Qingxuan said angrily.
Xiao Zhen grinned, "It's okay......"
"Hmph, you two, sing and harmonize, don't think I can't see it. Day by day, none of them can make me feel at ease. Lin Qing sat back in his seat, turned his head, and drank the stuffy "wine" to himself.
Xuan Chen, who walked out of the banquet hall, asked the black-shirted young man beside him, "What's the matter?" ”
Mo Ling looked stunned, "Eh, you don't look like the kind of person who covets the pleasure of the tongue, what's the matter, it's because my family's wine and food are too fragrant?"
Xuan Chen said lightly: "It wasn't before, but now it is." ”
Mo Ling looked loveless, and said with a wry smile: "I said, master, I am so unwelcome? Is it possessed by a plague god, or is there a fox smell?"
"I don't mean anything else, I'm just hungry. Xuanchen said, his face was as usual, and he didn't blush now.
"I believe you're a ghost. How could Mo Ling believe Xuanchen's words, "Even if your mother has prejudices against me, the kindness of a woman, I don't bother to speculate about the reason." But how can you follow the wind to make the rudder up, so we are friends of life and death, don't you hurt my heart. ”
As he spoke, Mo Ling covered his chest and pretended to be in pain.
"Friends of life and death?" asked Xuanchen puzzled.
"Yes, friends of life and death. At the earliest, I saved your life in the hands of the wooden chopping tree, and then a few days ago you saved my life in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, one life for another, a friend of life and death. You still don't believe you when you say that you are cold, and the speed of forgetting things is even faster than lifting your pants and turning your face and not recognizing people. ”
Mo Ling said in the end, it was like a resentful woman's tone.
Xuan Chen only felt that goosebumps were about to get up, and hurriedly said: "The Demon Beast Mountain Range saved you from the Thunder War Mercenary Group and the Mo family, and I just happened to be mixed in the team." ”
Hearing this, Mo Ling seemed to be holding on to something, and suddenly smiled and said: "Then you still owe me my life? Okay, you owe me but I don't owe you, don't pay for what you say. ”
Xuanchen's head is full of black lines, this guy, and Yi Nian have a fight.
Xuanchen said: "But there is one thing that I think is necessary to explain to you, my mother is just not familiar with you, and she has no other prejudices about you, don't think about it." ”
Mo Ling waved his hand, as if to sweep away the previous indignation and dissatisfaction, "It's okay, it's a big deal, if I still have this little belly, is it still the eldest son of the Mo family who is talented, wise, brave, and full of martial arts? ”
Xuan Chen rubbed his sore eyebrows, and he was relieved.
"You still didn't tell me what to do. Xuanchen pulled the topic back to the starting point and said.
Mo Ling slapped his forehead, "Oops, patronizing and messing with you, forgetting about business." ”
As he spoke, the black-shirted boy continued on his way, stopping when he reached the entrance to a corridor.
"Now, go straight from here, then turn left, turn left and go straight, then right, turn right and go back again. Mo Ling pointed to the other end of the corridor.
Xuan Chen asked suspiciously, "What are you doing?"
"Why do you ask so much, you just go, and you'll know when you get there. Mo Ling turned around and wanted to leave.
"What about you?" asked Xuanchen.
"Me?" Mo Ling waved his hand back, "I don't want to make a lantern to hang high." ”
Xuan Chen looked at the back of Mo Ling leaving, hesitated for a moment, and finally walked into the corridor.
The moonlight was like water, sprinkled all over the corridor, and a few small fish swam leisurely and comfortably to the middle of the small lake. It seems to want to find out whether the crystal clear disc in the center of the lake is just light and shadow, if so, why it is in the water, and if not, why it can't sink to the bottom of the lake.
But when Xuanchen turned into the other corner of the corridor, on the side of the main gate of the Mo family, several green-robed visitors strolled into the Mo family's compound, ignoring the obstruction of the Mo family's guards behind, like no man's land, so not domineering.
Among them, Mu Qisheng, Mu Xiang, and Mu Cangbai were impressively in the column, closely following behind the majestic blue-robed man in front.
Uninvited guests, bad comes.
"Mo Liefeng, the old man and the others came uninvited, you shouldn't be surprised. The blue-robed man at the head used his spiritual power to carry his voice to the courtyard.
At the same time, at the beginning of the banquet, under the high platform where Mo Xiao was standing, a group of Mo family members set up a round wooden table at a very fast speed, and the wine, food, and snacks were placed one by one.
Under the gaze of the surrounding guests, the black-shirted man and Mo Xiao, Mo Ling and Lei Xing of the Lei Zhan Mercenary Group appeared at the door of the banquet hall, as if they had predicted, standing in front of the door and waiting for the guests.
"Patriarch Mu, don't come unharmed. The black-robed man looked at the few people in front of him and said loudly, of course, his eyes mainly fell on the blue-robed man who was the leader.
The blue-robed man Mu Shusheng, the current patriarch of the Mu family, he smiled slightly, and there was only the black-robed man in the first place under the door in his sight, he said: "Mo Liefeng, your Mo family's wine is authentic?"
