Chapter 64: The Celebration Banquet

The guards had a very iron-blooded military style, and after saying this, they turned around and left directly, and led a team of people to the next place, leaving Chen Guyu and them with a puzzled face. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Elder Qi gently stroked his white beard, his expression was solemn, and he began to think, even he didn't understand what this Li Xuanyuan was going to do.

Indeed, according to the practice of previous years, after the end of the military performance, the county guard must hold a celebration banquet, and the county guard led hundreds of officials to have fun with the students.

On the one hand, it can allow students from all over the country to have a good time to rest and recover, and on the other hand, the county guard also needs time to prepare, collect information, win over relationships, and stand in line...... In short, every year's celebration banquet is a good show performed by officials and aristocrats from all sides, and the participants are the winning students, striving to achieve a win-win situation between the two in the near future, driven by interests, as has always been.

But this year is too anxious, how can there be a celebration banquet on the day of the end of the martial arts performance, Chen Guyu is still good, although he has already started to eat dinner, but he has not been affected by anything in the end, but for some students who have been injured in the martial arts performance, what is this, the county guard invites, whether to go or not? If you don't go, I'm afraid you'll offend the lord of this county, but if you go, their seriously injured bodies won't allow it, and under this difficult choice, they will inevitably have some resentment against the county guard.

There were many strategists in the county guard's mansion, and they shouldn't have made such a stupid mistake, but it just happened, so Elder Qi was puzzled.

It was still the lord of the Liu Mansion who said: "Master, will this still have something to do with Ah Yu......

Elder Qi was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head: "Impossible, I know Li Xuanyuan, he is rarely impulsive and willful, today is because of the loss of his parent, but he has recovered and it is impossible to be confused anymore, and besides, with the presence of the master of Tianjing, Li Xuanyuan will not do some stupid things!" ”

"What's going on?"

Elder Qi shook his head: "I don't understand, let's take a step and see one step at a time." Ah Yu, shallow, you will call a carriage to go to the county guard's mansion later, the celebration banquet is a hundred officials and your students to enjoy together, we are not convenient to go, remember to see more and talk less when the time comes, everything pays attention to safety...... If Li Xuanyuan is shameless, you don't have to give him face, everything is with the old man! ”

"Yes!"

Chen Guyu nodded and left the table, bowed, and walked out the door. His heart was a little warm, and Elder Qi's words gave him a rare sense of security, and he liked this kind of elder affection very much.

Luo Qianqian followed behind her silently, she didn't want to go, what kind of county guard mansion celebration banquet was not attractive to her, Li Xuanyuan's words were like a fart in her eyes, but she now had a very strange feeling in her heart, she should be staring at Chen Guyu, for that agreement, although she didn't understand what would happen, but the hunch was not very good......

The two went out and called a carriage to give its address, and half an hour later the carriage stopped outside a wide street.

"This son, girl, the car can only go here, it is where the adults live, and we ordinary people are not allowed to enter."

"Well, thank you."

After paying the silver taels, Chen Guyu and Luo Qianqian got out of the car. Looking up, I saw the end of the alley, a bright light, when I approached, I found that there was already full of people, under the red lantern, several small servants in Tsing Yi were outside to welcome guests, the solemn and solemn county guard in the past at this time actually had a hazy sense of frivolity outside the green building.

Of course, such an idea did not suddenly appear in Chen Guyu's mind, but someone said it directly.

A young man in a long shirt and a black coat stood outside the gate of the county guard's mansion, pointing to those brilliant colors and saying directly, his face was pale, and he was obviously in a very bad mood.

Because there are a lot of people coming and going, as soon as the words come out, many people hear them, and many people look sideways, but no one says much, and even the little guys who are guarding the door just change their faces and return to normal. As the saying goes, the prime minister's seven-rank official in front of the door, as the lord of a county, although the servants in Li Xuanyuan's family are not as majestic as the prime minister, but they also squint at people's temperament on weekdays.

But this time, they held back. Because they know very well that the guests at this celebration banquet are all future big people, and maybe they will become the guests of honor at a certain lord's table, and before everything is clear, what these little people are best at is judging the situation. What's more, there are also faint rumors in the house that this celebration banquet is indeed not very authentic, so the housekeeper has warned many times that he must have a good attitude and must not make the distinguished guests feel dissatisfied.

One of the servants grinned and squeezed out a flattering smile and leaned towards the young man, but the young man snorted coldly, but he didn't give face at all, and stepped on the door, obviously looking down on them. In fact, it is no wonder that the young man's senior brother has achieved very good results in this martial arts performance, but because his injury has not healed, he can't come to this celebration banquet, so the young man is angry in his heart, and it is normal for him to scold his Qinglou in the county guard's mansion.

Everyone around is more or less dissatisfied, which is bitter for those Tsing Yi servants who welcome guests, the pride of the past has been thrown on the ground and trampled again and again, they even understand a little bit of the feelings of those who were rejected by them in the past, it is really uncomfortable, but karma, good and evil are rewarded, in the end, they are just self-inflicted.

Chen Guyu and Luo Qianqian appeared outside the county guard's mansion, which soon caused a commotion, and the students pointed and pointed at the students, but no one came forward. If it were in other years, Chen Guyu's identity as the first in martial arts would definitely be no less than the first in the imperial examination, and everyone would be eager to come up and make friends, but this time, they didn't dare, before the attitude of the county guard was clear, they needed to wait and see, and even some people had already begun to consider the reason why Li Xuanyuan was in a hurry to hold a celebration banquet this time, could it be that there was no good banquet?

Chen Guyu didn't care, and after nodding lightly to the surroundings, he took the lead and walked in, but some people wanted to get close to Luo Qian, but as soon as they got closer, they were frightened by the cold temperament and took a few steps back.

After walking a few steps, an old man of about half a hundred walked in front of him, he was wearing a red Qing robe, smiling all over his face, and he walked by and saluted respectfully: "Chen Gongzi, you are here." ”

Chen Guyu returned the salute slightly.

The old man began to introduce himself, he was the housekeeper in the county guard's mansion, and he was also the Li family, called Li Hao, and this time he came to greet Chen Guyu on behalf of the county guard.

The first martial artist in the county can indeed enjoy such treatment, so Chen Guyu didn't say anything, nodded, and walked with him to the backyard.

The backyard of the county guard mansion is very large, and it can be roughly divided into the west courtyard, the east courtyard and the middle courtyard where the family lives.

I saw that in the dark night, countless lanterns hung in the corridors, tree branches, and ancient pavilions, illuminating the whole courtyard brightly, as if it were day, and in it, nearly 100 tables of banquets were placed, and the delicacies that had been specially kept warm with Dao Li had been placed on it, and the wine was complete, and at the end of the banquet, a three-meter-high platform was built, which should have invited some Qingqi people to perform, after all, such a major occasion, beautiful people and wine, graceful singing and dancing are indispensable.

The housekeeper went all the way and directly brought Chen Guyu to the first table, Chen Guyu should have refused, he hoped that he would be able to deal with this celebration banquet in a low-key manner, but he still sat down under the strong request of the housekeeper, and he was still not good at breaking the rules of the first three chiefs in previous years, as usual, Luo Qianqian sat next to him.

Luo Qianqian didn't speak all the way, so Chen Guyu didn't know her thoughts, but after thinking about it, there was still some peace in his heart, since he had the agreement that night, he had been much closer to Luo Qianqian, and in this strange environment, he inexplicably felt that he didn't seem to be very lonely.

A few people sat down, and the butler waited beside them, until about half an hour later, gradually, most of the banquet in the entire west courtyard was finally full. Some officials and well-known wealthy merchants and nobles in the county town also sent people to sit with students from all over the country, so that they could communicate better, and I believe that no one would refuse to cooperate with each other.

After all, cultivation is also a very resource-consuming thing, you contribute people, I pay for everyone's common development, this is almost the most basic goal of the martial arts conference in recent years.

Sitting at Chen Guyu's table, in addition to a few students, there were also several big names, one was the deputy master of Ru'an Academy, and the other was a senior general from the military.

After about half a cup of tea, Li Xuanyuan finally came accompanied by a few servants, and deliberately put on a light red official uniform that would only be worn neatly during the tripartite meeting in the past, with a solemn and majestic expression.

Chen Guyu squinted and looked up, Li Xuanyuan could no longer see any anger and grief of losing a child, and the whole person looked very plain, but Chen Guyu did not let down his vigilance, and still carried his Dao power at all times, and some things were still the safest in his own hands.

Li Xuanyuan's first sentence did not take the lead in domineering, but took the initiative to fill a glass of wine and said: "Heavenly pride from all over the county, I am Li Xuanyuan. There is really a last resort reason for holding a celebration banquet here in advance today, but no matter what, this matter has been done by the county guard, so I Li Xuanyuan will take a drink here first to apologize, you are free! ”

Li Xuanyuan raised his head and drank it all, and suddenly, the entire courtyard resounded with enthusiastic cheers. Although many people were more or less dissatisfied, at this moment, seeing that the lord of the county took the initiative to apologize to them, his anger also disappeared a lot, and he began to feel that this county keeper was an elder worthy of respect.

I have to say that Li Xuanyuan's hand is still very effective.

I saw him press his hands lightly in the void, his voice suddenly quieted down, he filled a glass of wine again, and continued: "Second, I still want to say one more thing. There is a reason why this celebration banquet was held in advance, and for this reason, I believe that everyone here will feel that Sansheng is lucky. ”

"What is the reason?"

"Lord County Guard, don't sell it, say it quickly!"

"Three lives are lucky, how lucky it should be, haha......"

Many people began to talk to each other with Li Xuanyuan's words, and the entire West Courtyard once again resumed its previous lively atmosphere, but Chen Guyu glanced at it slightly, and found that Li Xuanyuan was not sitting at the top of the first table, but was listed in the second seat, and he suddenly felt that the reason was related to the empty position.

Sure enough, after a while, Li Xuanyuan suppressed his voice again and finally said the reason.

I saw that this majestic and imposing county keeper walked out of the banquet, lowered his body, and said in a loud voice: "Now, let us welcome Lord Shi from the Southern Holy Land Judgment Concept!" ”
