Chapter 73: A Surprise Invitation
For the time being, he just asked Chen Junyu to register the younger brothers, and since there was no base camp yet, it was Lu Ran who dismissed the younger brothers first and asked them to report in a few days.
Early in the morning, Lu Ran planned to go out for a stroll to see if there was a suitable place to be a gang base camp.
But when Lu Ran just opened the door, he saw a carriage parked in front of the door, and the groom standing next to the carriage, wearing a hat and a cloth coat, said respectfully: "Master Lu, my master invites you to Tianxiangyuan to talk about it!"
Lu Ran raised his eyebrows, a little puzzled: "Your master?"
"Yes!"
"Who is the master of your house?"
"Childe knows it at first sight!"
Lu Ran raised his eyebrows, thinking to himself, who is this hiding head and tail?
Although he didn't know who this person's owner was, Lu Ran didn't think anyone would be stupid enough to send an ordinary horseman who didn't even know martial arts to harm him.
So, after a little hesitation, Lu Ran got into the tightly wrapped carriage.
When Lu Ran sat down, and An Ning also sat down beside Lu Ran, the carriage set off leisurely.
Looking at it again, Lu Ran saw that the carriage was indeed going in the direction of Tianxiangyuan, the famous restaurant in Gyeongju Mansion, and he was completely relieved.
Until it was close to Tianxiangyuan.
Lu Ran glanced at An Ning and asked, "An Ning, is there an ambush here?"
An Ning glanced at Tianxiangyuan, and then shook her head cutely.
Lu Ran nodded, and said in his heart that this is not a Hongmen banquet! Once again, he began to wonder who invited him?
When the carriage and horse drove into the side gate of Tianxiangyuan, they stopped in this small courtyard.
As soon as Lu Ran got out of the car, he saw a white-faced man waiting for him with a smile on his face.
"Is that you?" Lu Ran showed a hint of surprise.
This white-faced man was one of the three people he had seen outside the Yeyun Tower that day.
[Contusion Plum Hand (comprehensible): Qi Yibing has practiced hard for 19 years. Comprehension requires 5.33 units of cultivation points]
[Thirty-seven secret weapon techniques (comprehensible): Qi Yibing's years of painstaking research. Comprehension requires 6.33 units of cultivation points]
[Willow Bone Whisk Yang Sword (comprehensible): Qi Yibing became famous for his stunt, and after cultivation, his body will be as weak and boneless as some women. Comprehension requires 7.33 units of cultivation points]
casually swept the green and blue words on this person's body, Lu Ran not only didn't want to comprehend, but also raised his eyebrows slightly: How does this person look like an old yin?
"Hello Lu Gongzi, in Xia Qi Yibing, he is the master of the Red Hall of the Feihong Gang!" The white-faced man's demeanor, movements, and even the speed of speech were just right, making people feel inexplicably comfortable.
Lu Ran couldn't figure out what this person meant, so he just responded politely: "Under Lu Ran." ”
"Because of my special status, I suddenly invited Gongzi, for fear of causing some unnecessary trouble, so it was a little abrupt and rude, please don't blame Gongzi!" Qi Yibing smiled and spoke, paused slightly, and then said, "Gongzi Lu, please upstairs!"
Lu Ran bowed slightly, and walked towards the stairs on the side.
went up to the third floor, the pavilion was empty, and on the table in the middle, there happened to be a junior in the store to set the dishes.
"Young Master Lu, please take a seat!" Qi Yibing had just the right smile on his face.
Lu Ran nodded and took a seat.
After the two sides took their seats, Qi Yibing didn't talk about the purpose, but began to eat with Lu Ran, while talking about the origin of these dishes and the points of attention in cooking, just like a dinner party with old friends for many years.
Seeing that the other party didn't say anything, Lu Ran naturally didn't rush to ask, Yu Guang communicated with An Ning, and after seeing that An Ning said that these dishes were not poisonous, he calmly followed Qi Yibing to taste the famous dishes of this famous restaurant.
I have to say that the dishes in this restaurant taste really good.
Until the wine and food are full, the guests and hosts are happy. After Qi Yibing and Lu Ran both rinsed their mouths and cleaned their hands, Qi Yibing asked Xiao Er to remove the plate on the table and bring a pot of fragrant tea, which he knew was worth a lot of money when he smelled it.
"Presumably Lu Gongzi will also be a little curious about what Qi Mou's purpose is today!" Qi Yibing smiled, but he didn't sell Guan Zi, and said directly, "Actually, Qi just wants to make friends with Lu Gongzi!"
When Lu Ran heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, the people who invited me to dinner are all my friends!"
"Qi Mou doesn't just want to be Childe's friend of wine and meat......" Qi Yibing couldn't grasp the specific meaning of Lu Ran's words, but still maintained his own rhythm, and smiled politely, "Of course, if you invite Childe to have a meal, you want to become true friends with Childe, naturally it's not enough, so Qi is here today, and there is still news to tell Childe Lu!"
Lu Ran didn't speak, picked up the tea and took a sip.
Qi Yibing said slowly: "Young Master Lu, do you know the Duan family of Qingzhou Mansion?"
"That tea merchant Duan family?" Lu Ran remained silent.
Qi Yibing nodded and said, "Don't hide it, yesterday I Feihong helped Huangtang Hall Master Kang Xuyan send someone to Duan's house, if Qi's expectations are good, presumably one of them...... It has something to do with Lu Gongzi. ”
"Kang Xuyan?" Lu Ran thought of the kind guy yesterday, and pretended to be puzzled and said, "Could it be that the matter between me and your gang is not over yet?"
"Although I don't know why the gang leader chose to apologize to Gongzi, but with my many years of understanding of Gang Master Luo, Lu Gongzi, you killed a hall master of my Feihong Gang, so as long as you are not, Gang Master Luo, you will definitely not give up!" Qi Yibing said seriously, "Of course, Gongzi Lu also took Kang Xuyan's silver, so Kang Xuyan will not let you have a good time!"
Listening to Qi Yibing's words, Lu Ran's expression did not change, but he was secretly surprised in his heart: "Qi Yibing doesn't understand why the Feihong Gang confessed to me...... Could it be that this Qi Yibing doesn't know the relationship between the Feihong Gang and Sang Shanlong behind it?"
As soon as this idea came out, Lu Ran quickly understood that he had come to Gyeongju Mansion directly with his back to Fu Zefang and Yi Songyuan, two fifth-floor qi refiners. And Qi Yibing is just a hall master of the Feihong Gang, and the two people are at completely different levels, but I am afraid that Qi Yibing is really not qualified to contact the relationship behind the Feihong Gang......
However, Lu Ran naturally wouldn't talk more nonsense with Qi Yibing.
Of course, Lu Ran still did Qi Yibing's kind reminder, so he smiled and said, "Thank you Hall Master Qi for reminding me, Lu remembered, I will be careful of the Duan family these days." ”
Seeing that Lu Ran responded to his kindness, Qi Yibing nodded, and specially reminded: "Lu Gongzi should not underestimate the enemy, although this family is just a businessman, but they have raised three extremely powerful worshippers, the most powerful of which is a worship surnamed Bai, no one knows what specific means that person has, but I only know that whenever the Duan family lets Bai worship, the opponent will die!"
"Really?" Lu Ran couldn't help frowning.
Next, the two chatted for a while.
Seeing that the time was about the same, and the depth of communication between the two was just right, Lu Ran got up and said with a smile: "Thank you for the hospitality of the Qi Hall Master today!"
Qi Yibing said with a smile: "I hope that I will have the opportunity to have a good time with Lu Gongzi in the future!"
"That's nature!"
After speaking, Lu Ran went downstairs and left.
And Qi Yibing sat in place with the tea and did not move, and after a while, the short man Zhang Jiuchuan and the wooden man He Ming appeared.
"Third brother!"
Qi Yibing said lightly: "How is it over there in Lantang?"
"Kang Xuyan has already made preparations, we don't have the slightest chance! It seems that he is really bound to win the position of the master of the Blue Hall!" Zhang Jiuchuan looked annoyed.
Hearing this, Qi Yibing pondered for a moment, then suddenly glanced at Lu Ran, who had already arrived on the street, and said, "Perhaps, I can only expect him to survive at the hands of the Duan family?"
