Chapter 11 Hongmen Feast
"It's time, let's go. That night, when the bright moon was in the sky, Shao Nian raised his hand and knocked on the door that had been closed for a whole afternoon.
The door opened from the inside, and a slender figure walked out of the door, and it was a mirror. Her face was not as pale as before, but a little more blood, and her lips were as bright red as if she had drunk blood, but it was not obtrusive, but there was a different style. A black dress fluttering, coupled with the natural momentum of the superior who ignores everything, is even more inaccessible.
But...... She eventually compromised with cosmetics.
Nearly ten carriages have been parked in the square outside the courtyard, and the extra-large carriage carved with various patterns in the center is the main car of this pair of carriages. Shao Nian sat inside and raised his hand to the mirror, he didn't change into any too strange clothes, he was still wearing a white ancient costume, but he just added a few more pendants on his belt that were worth a lot of money at a glance.
There is only one row of seats in the back row of this kind of car, and if you look left and right in the mirror, you can only sit next to Shao Nian. She has long been accustomed to living like men, and naturally she will not put her legs together, so that the originally small space is crowded by a man and a woman who are in two sitting positions.
The mirror is very uncomfortable. In such a small space, as long as she moved slightly, she would run into the man next to her...... Lower.
The wind rose, the curtains swayed, and in the moonlight, the face that was not as handsome as a mortal was like a perfect statue, delicate and delicate.
"You go this time, follow me," Shao Nian turned his head, looked at the mirror with his eyes closed on the side, and hesitated, "Don't talk to anyone, especially the people of the Ximen family." ”
"General Shao, do you treat me as a three-year-old child?" Jing opened his eyes, and his delicate face was full of calmness and indifference, "Don't worry, I won't." ”
In fact, there is another sentence in Jing's heart, that is: they come to one and I will fight one.
"It's just a reminder, and," Shao Nian finally frowned, paused for a long time, and then said with some concern, "Be careful." This time, they didn't come well. ”
The mirror didn't say a word. In fact, Shao Nian's words also verified her previous speculation about this banquet in disguise.
However, the suspicions have not decreased, only more. Why did Shao Nian come here in person knowing that this was a Hongmen banquet, and why did he bring her instead of the more credible Su Liuyun?
The City Lord's Mansion was brightly lit, and melodious music echoed everywhere in the magnificent main building. The wide square has been filled with all kinds of horse-drawn carriages, many of which are emblazoned with the family crests of the major families.
Jing's eyes quickly looked around the square and came to the conclusion that it seemed that at tonight's banquet, the status of the Qingcheng military might be second only to the highest.
The carriage stopped directly in front of the gate of the main building, and the coachman driving in front jumped down from the carriage, lifted the curtain behind him, and Shao Nian and Jing walked down in the limelight.
"Hold me. Shao Nian whispered in a voice that only a mirror could hear.
The smile on the mirror remained the same, and she reached out and hooked the shoulder of the man next to her, which was more charming and colorful.
The man next to him glanced at the hand holding him, raised his eyebrows slightly, didn't say anything, and just walked in.
With a bang, there was a discussion around him.
"General Qingcheng Shao is here!"
"Who is that woman? I heard that General Shao has never been close to women, how can she let General Shao be in the same car with her?"
"But then again, that woman and General Shao seem to be quite compatible, one black and one white, it's very contrasting, isn't it?"
"It can't be the eldest lady of any family, right? This aura is only for those people who are born in those families. ”
Kagami didn't care about being the center of attention, a feeling she felt in the shadows so much that she was numb enough.
Shao Nian was originally a little worried that the mirror would be uncomfortable, so he took the time to look at her, but found that she was at ease, so he no longer had scruples. It's just that his gaze is getting deeper.
Who is this woman? The question is getting more and more interesting.
At this time, a slender young man was surrounded by a group and walked out of the gate, came to Shao Nian, hugged him gently, laughed and said, "Lao Shao, you haven't seen you for a year, it's getting better and better!"
Shao Nian hooked his lips slightly, and replied a little stiffly: "Nangong Shiye, you are the same." ”
Kagami was first frightened by what the young man had done to Shao Nian, and then amused by Shao Nian's return salute.
I can't see that this man still has a scene that is difficult to deal with.
As for the person who was called Nangong Shiye......
The mirror has seen the information of this young man, the second young master of the Nangong family, Nangong Shiye. He is not an ordinary young master of the Nangong family, his mother is also the patriarch of an in-law side branch of the Shao family, and has a close relationship with the Shao family. Although it is not the surname Shao, it has a strong blood relationship that exceeds most of the side branches.
It is precisely because of this relationship that Shao Nian and him will be much closer than other family disciples, and the two can be regarded as growing up together since childhood. Although they are not real blood brothers, they are closer than blood brothers.
Nangong Shiye's gaze immediately fell on the mirror that had been standing silently beside Shao Nian, his eyes narrowed slightly, the invisible divine thoughts were scattered, and all the secrets had nowhere to hide!
Jing's smile remained unchanged, still maintaining the demeanor of a lady, but she had already reined in her cultivation of the Sixth Heaven Middle Realm before, and at this moment, in the eyes of outsiders, she was only about the Third Heaven First Realm.
The Nangong in front of him was also the cultivation of the Sixfold Heaven Primal Realm, how could he detect the true strength of the mirror?
On the carriage before, Shao Nian vaguely reminded Jing that this banquet was not simple, and Jing was naturally ready to face various situations. Although this person named Nangong Shiye seems to be familiar with Shao Nian, it is definitely not easy for someone to become friends with Shao Nian.
Besides, even if she didn't mention Nangong Shiye, there was no complete trust between her and Shao Nian, and she was always vigilant at that time.
Nangong Shiye's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and then he smiled at the mirror and said, "This young lady is really handsome and has an extraordinary bearing. I don't know which lady it is?"
Shao Nian forced out a fairly passable smile on his knife-like face, and said in an extremely rare gentle tone: "She is my new adjutant Luo Yi. ”
Nangong Shiye's face was different, but he quickly suppressed it: "Luo Yi...... Okay, Lao Shao, since you're here, then I'll ask my dad to start the dinner party, let's come in together!"
Nangong Shiye his father ...... It's Nangong Xiao! Damn, it's Shao Nian's brother's father!
The eyelids of the mirror jumped, and some regretted that they did not change their appearance.
Shao Nian let go of the mirror's arm and walked into the hall with Nangong Shiye shoulder to shoulder. At this dinner, Nangong Shiye was the host, and Shao Nian was one of the guest of honor.
The mirror was silently surrounded by a group of young people who walked out of Nangong at night, and then she keenly felt the abnormality, and there was a lot of murder and hostility in the eyes of those who looked at her, and most of them were women.
Kagami tugged at the corners of her mouth, revealing an incomprehensible smile. So Shao Nian brought her here to use her as a shield?
The hand hanging by the mirror was loose and tight, tight and loose, and finally suppressed the urge to hit people, so he silently walked to a corner, picked up a glass of wine and began to drink it slowly.
The castle lord's mansion was brightly lit, the hall on the first floor was overcrowded, and the second floor was where the guests of honor were seated.
Jing, as Shao Nian's adjutant, is naturally qualified to come to the second floor, but she doesn't want to be stared at by too many people so as not to be recognized by others, so she stands in the corner and watches everything.
At this time, Nangong Shiye pulled Shao Nian all the way to the railing on the second floor, sat down, and then suddenly turned back with a wicked smile, looked Shao Nian up and down, and said with an unclear meaning: "What are you...... The 10,000-year-old iron tree has bloomed!"
Shao Nian suddenly had an urge to kill, his face darkened suddenly, and he said coldly: "It's just a show." Also, keep your mouth shut. ”
The most long-time friend, Shao Nian has a deep understanding of his friend's big mouth.
"Okay, okay, just kidding," he suddenly said with a fake seriousness, "but I heard my father say that the third lady of the Simon family is interesting to you, and it is said that she will ...... at this banquet" He began to wink his eyebrows at Shao Nian.
Shao Nian slapped Nangong Shiye's face, thought of Miss Ximen San, and suddenly said irritably: "I won't agree." ”
"Tut-tut, that's a pity," Nangong said with a hippie smile on her face, "I heard that Miss Ximen San is infatuated with you, claiming to tie you home!
I don't know why, at this time, in Shao Nian's mind, a figure suddenly appeared.
"What do I want her to do...... Shao Nian came back to his senses, then looked at Nangong Shiye, who was still there trying to match the two, and raised his eyebrows, "You are such a big young master, can you put less attention on women." ”
"Hey, I know that there is nothing to say about you ice cube," Nangong Shiye didn't notice Shao Nian's strangeness, and continued to talk like a river, "But your adjutant should be careful, she will inevitably be stared at as a person who is in such close contact with you......"
Before Nangong Shiye's words could be finished, he heard a loud bang coming from the hall on the first floor.
