124 The feast
In the blink of an eye, it was already the day of the start of the banquet.
Afternoon.
Chi Yi estimated the time, changed his clothes, packed himself up, and took the disciples to Gumu Villa.
After Ye Ze and Gu Caiyi were rescued by him that day, they explained to him in detail the reasons for their escape from everything, as well as the speculation of the two of them about the conspiracy plan of the Heavy Underworld Sect.
After listening to the words of the two, Ye Gu and the others didn't understand what the Heavy Underworld Sect was going to do, but how could Chi Yi, who was familiar with the direction of the development of the plot, not know?
Most of them are still ready to do something at this banquet, Chi Yi muttered in his heart.
It's just that in the original text, they are preparing to take the opportunity to kill Xiao Buqing, and now the target they have to deal with is him? Chi Yi thought about it, and after settling Ye Gu and the others, he ordered Chu He and Cui Lianyun to send people to secretly keep an eye on all the processes of preparing for this banquet.
In the original plot, the author has explained in detail that this banquet must be held after every martial arts conference, and it has become a customary rule. In order to give everyone in the rivers and lakes an opportunity to exchange feelings and get to know each other, especially with the freshly baked martial arts rookies.
Due to the large number of participants, this banquet was called the Wanbin Banquet. The flowing water mats placed in the Gumu Villa almost cover the entire villa, which is enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people to feast and drink at the same time.
This banquet is not refused, and everyone in the rivers and lakes can participate. As long as you are a martial arts person, when you walk to the door of the villa, you will be warmly welcomed in by the people of the villa. And all the expenses of this banquet were jointly paid by the various sects.
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the martial arts conference is only held once every five years, and a Wanbin banquet is only held for one day, according to such a way of playing, Chi Yi is really worried that the five major factions will be poor.
Lingyu is indispensable for every Wanbin banquet, and it is a famous dish that the heroes of the rivers and lakes who have participated in the martial arts conference will never forget.
Lingyu is a specialty of Beijing, and the end of summer every year is the fattest season of Lingyu, so every Wanbin banquet, the Lei family will give each table a plate of Lingyu, so that the heroes from all over the world can taste it.
Chi Yi remembered very well that in the original text, the Heavy Underworld Sect and Qin Zhi did their tricks and feet on the Lingyu and poisoned and assassinated everyone. The meat of the water chestnut is delicious and a great supplement to eat. However, if you accidentally eat it with another wild vegetable called amaranth, it will instantly turn into a โกโก.
Speaking of which, this is just the truth of ordinary food, but in the original text, the Heavy Underworld Sect is taking advantage of this to grind and refine the golden amaranth into medicine. It seems to be non-toxic and harmless, no matter how you check it, you won't find the slightest abnormality, but as long as it is stained with the diamond fish, it will deteriorate instantly, and the toxicity is violent, which is really impossible to prevent.
It can be seen from this that the Heavy Underworld Sect is indeed trying its best to deal with the various factions of the martial arts. After all, this kind of means is by no means something that can be done by accident on a whim. The Heavy Underworld Sect must have been prepared for a long time, just waiting for the opportunity to implement it.
Therefore, no matter what the current plot has become, it is unlikely that the Heavy Underworld Sect will use Lingyu to poison it.
Therefore, Chi Yi ordered Luo Wang to focus on the ingredients of the water lozenges and the wine prepared at each table, and received a secret report from Luo Wang last night, and sure enough, he found that there was a change.
Thinking of these in his heart, Chi Yi couldn't help but smile slightly, and led everyone into the Gumu Villa.
Today's Gumu Villa looks different from the atmosphere of the previous days.
As soon as I reached the door, I heard a commotion, and the originally spacious space was cleared, and large round tables were filled in the open space. At a glance, there are countless people sitting in a pile with their shoulders on their backs, talking and laughing loudly. Dressed in brocade, the maids and servants of the villa carried trays to and fro, and dishes were constantly placed like water.
As soon as the group of people from Yunxiao Palace walked in, they were recognized by the sharp-eyed heroes of the rivers and lakes at a glance, and suddenly countless eyes suddenly fell on Chi Yi, who was walking first.
I don't know how many people are looking at Chi Yi at this time, either obviously or implicitly, and some people have not participated in the finals before, and they are very curious to look at Chi Yi's fair and crystalline skin, handsome and delicate facial features, slender and straight, wearing a black brocade robe, elegant temperament and graceful demeanor, how does this look like a son of a family who is not familiar with martial arts, and does not have half of the aura of the Jianghu people to kill.
The whole person's painting style doesn't match this martial arts conference at all!
That's it, everyone swept past Chi Yi, and then moved their eyes behind him to look at the others. I saw that behind him was a white and blue robe embroidered with intricate patterns, dressed as a Taoist aunt, and Zhou Shen, who was dressed in a brocade robe.
The two of them were followed by Su Xue, who looked holy and pure in a pure blue dress, and a breeze in a red dress, Chu An'er was obediently led by the wind with a pair of big watery eyes, and finally there was a thin scholar with a piano on his back and a book in his hand.......
If it weren't for the fact that there was a huge unparalleled support scene that didn't look easy to mess with, no one would believe that this was a configuration of a martial arts sect.
After looking at the people in the Yunxiao Palace, all the heroes of the rivers and lakes turned their heads to look at their disciples, and found that their eyes were full of coarse cloth suits that had been brushed and washed to white, their dark faces that had been exposed to the wind and sun all year round, and the knotted muscles of both men and women caused by years of martial arts.
Cardiac congestion......
Everyone in Yunxiao Palace has long been accustomed to the scene of being watched non-stop, and they still walked calmly towards the villa despite the gaze of a group of people. Not long after, the Lei brothers and sisters who got the news hurried over.
"Brother Chi, you're finally here! Why is it so slow, everyone is waiting for you to come to the feast. โ
Lei Ding laughed loudly, and didn't say much when he saw Chi Yi, just grabbed him and walked in. Although he was defeated by Chi Yi in the final, the Lei family has always been open-minded, and he had already expected this result, so he didn't care at all, and after the game, he turned his head and hooked up with Chi Yi again.
And Lei Jia had already huddled together with a few girls in the Cloud Palace, chatting together.
Because of the flapping of Chi Yi's butterfly wings, Lei Jia's fate was completely out of the trajectory of the original plot, and he should have become Xiao Buqing's brainless fan at this time, and admired him incomparably The little girl who fell in love, under the influence of Chi Yi's unknowingly, never paid attention to Xiao Buqing's existence from beginning to end, and was still a carefree little girl.
Chi Yi sighed in his heart, and couldn't help but glance back with his afterglow, but quickly let go of these things.
The banquet they want to use is of course different from the open-air banquet prepared for the scattered heroes outside. In the front room, there is also a banquet, which is specially prepared for famous sects and masters in the rivers and lakes.
Lei Ding took everyone in, Chi Yi saw that the room was also full of tables and chairs, and as far as the eye could see, several round tables were about to be filled, and sure enough, as Lei Ding said, they were waiting for them.
"Let the seniors wait for a long time, forgive the sins."
"Hehe, Chi Zhangjiao is here? It's not too late, it's not too late. โ
"Even if it's late for a fight, why is it so slow to eat?"
Seeing Chi Yi come in, Lei Ke Xuanqingzi and everyone greeted him with a smile, and Chi Yi was busy making amends to everyone one after another.
When everyone in Yunxiao Palace sat down, Lei Ding made a slight gesture, and several beautiful maids came over, and dishes were suddenly placed on the table.
"Come on, come on, eat the vegetables." Lake beckoned to everyone.
Chi Yi smiled and picked up the dishes, chatting with everyone while eating and drinking, and the atmosphere was extremely happy and harmonious for a while. Under the influence of this atmosphere, Qin Zhen, the current ruler of the Tianhe League, who has always been taciturn, had a hard time saying a few words.
This harmonious atmosphere was maintained until a plate of delicately cooked water chestnut was served.
Lake watched the maid put the diamond fish in the middle of the table, turned his head with a smile and said to Chi Yi, "Chi Xiaoyou is from the Northland, I haven't tasted this diamond fish yet?" Try it, the meat quality of the water chestnut is the most beautiful in late summer. โ
After listening to Lake's words, Chi Yi stared at the rhombus for a long time, and suddenly spoke.
"This fish can't be eaten."
When everyone heard this, their colors suddenly changed.
