Zhou Ning sat in a carriage and rushed to Xiang Yingzheng's banquet in Dong's restaurant. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Compared with the hustle and bustle of the day, this street scene of Jinji Fang has gradually fallen into the silent night, the sound of jingling bells came, the horses with neck bells in front of them rushed into the front street, and the carriage slowly lowered its speed and walked slowly in the city.

Dongjia Restaurant is not far from the Jinji Fang where Chongwen Building is located, there are not many pedestrians on this side of the road, it is almost night, and the unstable lights on the street stretch out into the distance.

A row of locust trees near Luoshui had yellow leaves, swaying in the wind, and when the locust leaves fluttered across the eaves above the road, in Luoshui, a sailboat sailed leisurely in the water hidden under the house, and he sat on the car and looked over, but the top of the sail moved, like a land boat.

Zhou Ning looked at the white sail in the distance for a while, the boat and the carriage on the shore walked side by side for a while, the horse stepped on the Tianjin Bridge, and a little white sail passed under the bridge and quietly disappeared from view.

…… When he learned that the concubines Xuan and Ning Daoqi, who were alias Qin Chuan, and Li Shimin would also come to the banquet, Zhou Ning's thoughts became a mess.

The current situation in Luoyang City is like a pool of flowing living water, which is changing every moment, and no one knows what will happen in the next moment.

Now his situation is not optimistic, although Yang Guang does not see any malice towards him, but Zhou Ning is deeply concerned about his capriciousness. It is possible to turn his face at any time, coupled with the threats of Xiang Yu and Li Shimin, if he doesn't want to find a way to break the situation, even if Sun Wu is resurrected and Wuhou is reincarnated, he will not be able to get rid of the current predicament.

The current Luoyang City, the Demon Gate, the Daomen, Cihang Jingzhai, the imperial court, the major forces are intrigued, dumping each other, and the clan's ...... It's as if an invisible rope connects all of them, and the relationship is intricate.

I don't know who will be the final game-breaker, who will completely break this entangled dead end.

The night continued, the stars, the moon, and layers of thin clouds swirling in the sky, and after a short street, you could see the crowd not far ahead. On the heavenly street, there is an endless stream of people and vehicles, and boats come and go on the river, which only adds to a kind of entangled atmosphere.

The group walked through the market, and after a short time, they saw the Dong Family Restaurant standing at the bridgehead of Tianjin, contrasting with the other three high-rise buildings.

After the carriage was parked, the two arrived at the door, and there were more people in front of them. On the road on the side, all kinds of incense cars are endless. There were a lot of people standing at the door.

"This is Wang Majie, I didn't expect this talented man to come here with leisure." Qin Hui, who was beside Zhou Ning, sighed.

This traitorous brother is a small talent in Luoyang at this time, and today he is also in the ranks of the invited, he looks dignified and upright, and along the way, he has talked to Zhou Ning about some things he has seen, but Zhou Ning has benefited a lot.

Qin Hui said that Wang Majie is Wang Wei, who is one of the best talents in this era, Zhou Ning glanced at Wang Wei, and saw that this famous talented man was dressed in white, and he looked extremely handsome, and he was whispering with a woman dressed as a famous lady at this time.

"Wang Majie's romance is well-known in Luoyang City, and it is said that he also has an affair with Mrs. Fanghua, who is favored by the saint......" Qin Hui glanced at Wang Wei and said with a smile.

Zhou Ning smiled, and when he was about to go in, a clear voice came from behind: "Hello Brother Zhou." ”

Zhou Ning turned his head, looked at Li Shimin, and arched his hand with a smile: "Brother Li is good." ”

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Such a grand event, how can there be less Li, a few days away, I was about to go to Chongwen Building to find Brother Zhou to catch up, but I didn't expect to meet here." ”

On that day, Zhou Ning refused to use his name to stay in Chongwen Building, which was tantamount to rejecting his offer, but Li Shimin was still personable and did not mind at all.

The two chatted for a few words, and Li Shimin said happily: "Let Li introduce Brother Zhou, this is Wei Chi Jingde, who is not only proficient in the art of war, but also good at spear and steel whip, and is famous for Jianghuai." ”

Behind Li Shimin, Wei Chi Jingde, who was about twenty-five or six years old, took a step forward and bowed his hand.

This person is tall, shaped like an iron tower, his steps are as calm as a mountain, and his body is full of momentum with his surroundings. Showing a murderous and compelling momentum, Zhou Ning estimated in his heart that with the internal strength cultivation he showed, he was afraid that it would be enough to compete with him.

When Zhou Ning looked at him, he also saluted with attention and smiled: "Brother Zhou can break into the hall from a nobody, and become a famous hero in the world. ”

After a round of greetings, Zhou Ning arched his hand at him, smiling silently.

Another person took a step forward and introduced himself: "In Xia Liu Hongji, I have seen Brother Zhou. ”

Zhou Ning looked at Liu Hongji with a little prudence, compared with Wei Chi Jingde, Liu Hongji has the momentum of not falling behind at all, and obviously he is also very skilled.

These two people are the backbone of Li Shimin's Tiance Mansion, and if they face each other in the future, they will definitely be his fierce rivals.

Standing beside Liu Hongji was a Confucian scholar who seemed to be polite on the surface, who did not look high in martial arts, but he was a very powerful Confucian cultivator.

"This is the eldest grandson Wuji...... Sun Sheng, the son of the eldest grandson of the Duke of Qi......"

When Li Shimin introduced this person as the eldest grandson Wuji, Zhou Ning glanced at him up and down, and couldn't help but feel secretly frightened in his heart.

This person shouldn't be simple......

Wei Chi Jingde, Liu Hongji's extremely profound martial arts, and the unfathomable profundity of the eldest grandson Wuji all made him vigilant.

Then the other three are Luo Shixin, Shi Wanbao and Liu Dewei, all of whom are masters of achieving essence and essence. It's just that these six subordinates can already get a glimpse of Li Shimin's amazing strength.

After chatting with Li Shimin for a few words, Qin Hui looked at Zhou Ning with a little scrutiny: "I didn't expect that Brother Zhou even knew Li Valve's son......

"It's just a chance acquaintance, it's not a friend......

Zhou Ning said lightly, the two followed behind Li Shimin and his party, and walked into the Dong Family Restaurant together, the Dong Family Restaurant was brightly lit inside and outside, and there was a spacious courtyard in front of it, surrounded by stairs divided into the southeast corner and the northwest corner, which connected the bottom three floors, and the stairs leading to the top floor were located in the middle, and you had to go through the walkway on the third floor to ascend to the fourth floor.

The stairwell is surrounded by carved wooden railings, and is surrounded by a vast space that connects the corridors leading to the various halls, giving it a sense of both imposing and refreshing.

Everyone walked into the restaurant, and the people here were basically some well-dressed disciples, and Li Shimin was stopped after a while, and they started talking with a smile.

Qin Hui is used to camping, but after arriving here, he disappeared after a while, thinking that he was going to other places to socialize. Zhou Ning shook his head and smiled, and climbed to the second floor alone.

Zhou Ning came very early, and when he came to the second floor of Yingzheng's banquet, it was only two o'clock.

I saw that the hall was set up very elegantly, the feast was open to ten seats, all were placed near the window, outside the window was the Luohe River that crossed the north and south of Luoyang, the boats and boats were endless, if you sat on the chair by the window, the probe looked down at the Tianjin Bridge that was called the first bridge in Luoyang.

At this time, only about half of the guests present came, and the other half were sparse. Zhou Ning's eyes lit up, and he had already seen Du Shisan, who was sitting in the second seat of the east head.

At this moment, Yingzheng has not yet arrived, and the person in charge of entertaining is a man in his fifties, chubby, and looks like a big businessman, when he saw Zhou Ning, the big fat man smiled and said: "It turned out to be Zhou Ning Zhou's little brother, in Xia Lisi, please take a seat." ”

"Lis?"

Zhou Ning hurriedly saluted and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Li, disrespectful, disrespectful." ”

"This is the talented Zhou Zhongdao?"

Zhou Ning's arrival immediately attracted everyone's attention, after all, his song "Chivalrous Travel" in the past few days has been in the limelight, and the scenery in Luoyang can be regarded as unique for a while.

Du Shisan stood up and beckoned to him: "It turns out that Zhongdao is here, just in time, come here." ”

Zhou Ning arched his hand at everyone present and walked towards Du Shisan's seat.

There were few acquaintances sitting at this table, except for Du Shisan, he only recognized He Zhizhang and Shi Feixuan who were sitting next to Du Shisan. These two men are extremely low-key.

Excluding these two people, there are only one man and one woman, which especially attracted Zhou Ning's attention.

The female sat in two positions to the right of his side, very low-key, but very beautiful and quite eye-catching.

It was a woman with skin like snow, extremely beautiful, carrying a long sword, with an indifferent expression, an unsmiling appearance, looking quite cold, this expression was somewhat similar to that of the concubine.

Presumably this is also a disciple of Cihang Jingzhai, right? Zhou Ning said in his heart.

Another person who caught his attention was a young man of twenty-three or fourteen years old sitting in the guest seat, with a majestic figure and extremely handsome appearance, which was not far behind Li Shimin and Ying Zheng. The weapon is a long sword.

Zhou Ning walked to the side of the table, the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and there were also people looking at the gathering place of guests on the other side. The two women at the other table were one of them, Ouyang Xuan smiled at him and winked, and the other was Pei Lin, this chick changed into a woman's dress this time, glaring at herself. It's a bit like James's death glare, and his expression doesn't change, which is simply unscientific.

Zhou Ning smiled slightly bitterly, at this time, He Zhizhang personally opened the empty seat for him to sit under the head of the concubine, and said with a smile: "Little Brother Zhou came just in time this time, and there will be a stunning beauty sitting next to you later, near the water, and then it will depend on your creation." ”

The unruly old man had an ambiguous smile on his face, and Zhou Ning subconsciously glanced at the concubine, only to see that this elegant beauty was still drinking casually, as if she was not at ease at all.

"This teacher nun is very cold."

Zhou Ning didn't care, poured himself a full bottle of wine, teased Du Shisan and He Zhizhang a few words each, and drank it all.

At this time, there are gradually more people here, and like the general literary society, the vast majority of the people who come are some literati or the children of the gate valve.

During this process, Zhou Ning always felt a chill in his back, and every time he raised his head, he could see Pei Lin glaring at him from several rows of seats. It was as if he was going to come down and fight him at any moment.
