Chapter 22: Seeking Blood
Ah Dao's gaze moved to the Luan clan again, and two men came today.
Although he looked ancient, his eyes were bright and energetic, and he was sitting upright drinking alone, occasionally chatting with the nobleman beside him.
The other man, who was close to his prime, was raising his glass and chatting with the nobles around him, and at first glance he was very good at greetings, especially in it.
He was wearing a vermilion silk shirt with ingots, and a dazzling golden brocade belt was tied around his waist, revealing a golden aura from head to toe, to be precise, a wealthy and wealthy atmosphere.
But although he is rich but not vulgar, he is completely different from those businessmen who have no official titles, he has the innate nobility of the children of the clan in his wealth, and the two breaths emanate from him evenly, which is very natural.
Ah Dao's gaze turned to the Yin clan at the end, and in an instant, he saw two familiar figures, which were actually Yin Heng, the purple-clothed ghost master and the falcon.
It's just that Yin Heng is different from the two times she saw before, always hiding behind others and silently guarding Xiangyu.
At this time, he, together with other nobles, sat upright in the front row of the couch, had changed out of the purple shirt of the ghost deterregent, put on the brocade robe that represented his identity as a noble son of the Yin'an clan, and the waist was no longer the unique golden full moon dark ribbon of the ghost deterrent division, and was replaced by a belt with white gold thread embroidered with cloud and thunder patterns on a black background.
I saw him holding a cup and drinking with Luan Feng'an, who was sitting next to him, his originally rigorous expression was not relaxed at the moment, and he also hung a cheerful and comfortable smile, which was sunny and generous, which made people feel comfortable at first sight.
And the Falcon was standing behind him.
Seeing that the ghost servant pattern on the forehead of the falcon is a water lily, which was originally owned by the Yin family, seeing that the falcon is Yin Heng's ghost servant, and Yin Heng is the ghost master of Gongzi, so it is not surprising to see that the falcon often appears in Xiangfu and does things for Xiangfu.
Yin Heng ......
Luo Zi'an previously said that Yin Heng was the noble son of the clan, but he didn't want his surname "Yin" to be the "Yin" of the Yin clan.
The atmosphere of the banquet became more and more lively.
Ah Dao's stomach growled twice, and her eyes couldn't help but drift to the various dishes on the table in front of the nobles, and the gluttonous worms in her stomach had already been hooked.
Ah Tao suddenly wanted to eat the small yellow croaker in the scorching river in Fog City......
At this time, on the seat of the Xiang clan next to the head of Xiangyu, a person slowly walked out, it was Xiangfu.
Xiangfu was originally a descendant of the Xiang clan, but the descendants of the Xiang clan came out of a lineage because of the curse of the world, Ding Buwang, because after Xiangqian became the patriarch, he succeeded Xiangfu to his father's name, and became the second patriarch of the Xiang clan after Xiangyu and Xiangqian.
Because Xiangyu doesn't like to gossip, and his identity is too noble, he is high and low, and the nobles consciously don't dare to bother him too much.
Xiang Fu's expression was solemn, a righteous aura, during the banquet, his arrogant countenance was fully displayed, undisguised, and the nobility of his whole body was even more rich and heavy, which invisibly forced some ghost servants or protégés who came with the master with shallow mana to stay away from him.
Xiangfu walked to the middle position, and when he looked up at Xiangyu, the arrogant look on his face suddenly disappeared, only respectful and humble remained, he raised the cup with both hands, bowed to Xiangyu, and said earnestly and solemnly: "Congratulations to Gongzi for breaking the sacrifice of my Xiang clan's curse again!
As soon as these words came out, the nobles stood up one after another, raised their glasses and bowed in congratulations.
Atao's smart eyes blinked.
It turns out that tonight's boat banquet, only the Xiang clan participated, and it was actually to celebrate her sacrifice.
Suddenly, Ah Tao felt a gaze slowly look at him.
It is the Xiangyu of the upper place.
Ah Daofu to his heart, walked up to the nobles, bowed, and said respectfully: "See all the nobles!"
The nobles looked at Ah Dao one after another, and saw that although her appearance was mediocre, her demeanor was relaxed, and her expression was neither humble nor arrogant, although she was a lowly wild ghost born in such a dirty place as Ghost Field Township, but she was not as vulgar as rumored.
Xiang Fu showed a satisfied face: "Although he is a vulgar wild ghost, this Yin'an's rules are learned quickly, but since you have been claimed by the son, you are fortunate to serve the son's side, this way of etiquette, you still need to continue to improve, don't tarnish the name of the son!"
"Yes!" Ah Tao bowed down again, replied respectfully, and let out a slight breath in his heart.
Thanks to being reprimanded by the second son of Luo yesterday, if he made the same mistake as yesterday in front of all the nobles today, he would really be as Xiang Fu said, and the name of the son would be stained.
Ah Tao couldn't help but be grateful to Luozi Anlai.
"Childe, the lower official has a doubt, and I hope that Childe will answer. One of the Han people suddenly stepped forward.
This person has entered the age of no doubt, his eyes are sharp, with a hint of coldness, his eyebrows are full of ambition, and the nobility around him is rarely strong and extremely aggressive.
This person is Han Tao, the patriarch of the Han clan, and the biological father of Han Tang Li.
Xiangyu's gaze swept lightly towards Han Tao: "Patriarch Han, please speak." ”
Han Tao looked at Ah Dao: "Since this wild ghost is a sacrifice to break the curse of the world, it must be carrying the blood of the ancestor?"
"Not bad. ”
"As far as the lower officials know, Childe fell in love with this ghost at the seedling selection meeting a few days ago, and before that, Childe had never seen it. The implication is that there are doubts about whether Ah Tao really bears the blood of the ancestors.
A chuckle came from among the nobles, and Luo Zi'an spoke: "Patriarch Han, are you questioning that Gongzi may have mistaken the sacrifice?"
Han Tao's eyes sank, he glanced at Luo Zi'an deeply, and waved his hand at Xiangyu at the top and said: "Gongzi Mingjian, the lower official is not questioning Gongzi, but just breaking the curse of the world, which is related to the future life and death of my Xiang clan, and I can't be careless, and I ask Gongzi to be sympathetic to the painstaking efforts of many large and small clans who loyally follow the Xiang clan like us!"
It was originally his confusion, but in a blink of an eye, it became the confusion of the clans who followed the Xiang clan.
Following the Xiang clan, it is the major clans of the Xiang clan who have sacrificed their own net worth, and if there is a slight mistake, it will become the target of the rival faction Huang Clan, and there is a danger of the destruction of the whole clan at any time.
The Xiang clan is prosperous, the major clans of the Xiang clan are prosperous, the Xiang clan is declining, and the latter is also declining.
The rise and fall of the Xiang clan is closely related to whether the curse can be broken, and Han Tao's words are still reasonable.
He asked the question that the other clans in the room wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask easily.
There was no response for a long time, and all the nobles secretly exchanged glances, and they didn't dare to make the next move.
The eye-catching little guy immediately stopped the musician, and the room fell silent for a moment.
"Then what do you want?" Xiangyu's cold, lazy tone added a hint of playfulness.
Han Tao's eyes flashed: "Both humans and ghosts know that ghosts with the blood of the ancestors are not afraid of the power of human fear, if the ghosts drink a drop of the blood of the ancestors, they can also not be afraid of human beings, and the officials are brave, please give me this sacrifice a drop of blood, and I will feed it into the belly of my ghost servant......"
Before Han Tao's words fell, Luo Zi'an suddenly sneered: "After going around for a long time, it turns out that the Xiang patriarch wants the blood of the ancestors." ”
