Chapter 190, Liuzhen
"Tang Lang, you are the Tang Lang of Tianqing, what kind of messy villa has you been doing in Yuanshui City recently!" Ba Shengrong, the city lord of Mengshan City, stared at Tang Lang with wide eyes, eager to see something on Tang Lang's face.
"Oh, it turned out to be the Ba City Lord! The City Lord looked at me like this, did he want my Duobao Chamber of Commerce to go to Mengshan City to open up business, this can be discussed in detail at the dinner party, if the City Lord is sincere enough, you can consider it!" Tang Lang replied with a matter.
"Ridiculous! I will lack a little-known chamber of commerce like you to join in Mengshan City, don't be arrogant! It's just relying on some grandstanding fame, hum!" Ba Shengrong didn't expect Tang Lang to hit the snake with the stick, but he was a little uncomfortable, snorted coldly, and walked away quickly.
"Do you really want to go to Mengshan City to do business, why is my Yuanshui City not enough for you to toss?" Feng Honglang half-truthed and half-falsely accused.
"That's it, the city lord attaches so much importance to you and entrusts you with important tasks, how can you see something different and contact others face to face?" Wen Yuyu took the opportunity to fall into the ground.
"City Lord, are you worried?" Tang Lang didn't answer directly, and looked back at Feng Honglang with a smile.
"Stinky boy, in the short term, if you dare to do business in other cities, see if I don't demolish your villa!"
While the two were talking, they had already come to the door of the banquet hall of the county guard's mansion, and Lu Hexuan, the county guard's staff who had a relationship with Yuanshui City before, was received outside the hall as a close guest, and when he saw Tang Lang and the others coming, he smiled and said hello: "Wind City Lord, Tang Lang, you have arrived!
Feng Honglang walked up quickly and muttered in a low voice: "Lao Lu, what are the rules tonight?"
Lu Hexuan shook his head and said, "The Wind City Lord will know in a moment! Tonight's program arrangement, handed over to the county guard, will definitely make all the city lords satisfied!"
Feng Honglang's face changed slightly when he heard this, nodded and said, "I see!" and continued to enter with Tang Lang and the other three.
Tang Lang was puzzled and asked, "City Lord, Staff Lu obviously didn't say anything, what do you understand?"
Feng Honglang waved his hand and said: "It's no wonder you don't know the mystery! There are a total of four henchmen under the county guard, and every annual meeting will be handed over to one of them to host, and this Lao Lu is this year's organizer. He loves old things, so the programs he usually prepares will also imitate the ancient system, and most of them are meandering water!"
"What is this?" Tang Lang didn't know what it was.
You Ning's face was also bitter, and he explained: "This song is a kind of drinking and entertainment in ancient times. When people hold events, they sit on both sides of a canal, and in the river they place floating wine glasses, which are filled with five kinds of liquor, which symbolize the five flavors of life: sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty. ”
Wen Yuyu said: "After the county guard gave the order, everyone snatched the sweet and spicy wine through spiritual power, and at the same time pushed the sour, bitter, and salty drinks in front of others, and when the host shouted to stop, everyone had to drink the wine glass in front of them! If you drink a glass of sour wine or bitter wine, the taste will ......."
Feng Honglang interrupted: "Don't listen to them! These five flavors of wine are all carefully brewed by the county guard, and each of them contains huge spiritual power, which is very beneficial to cultivation, but this is the taste...... Therefore, everyone will do their best to snatch the sweet and spicy flavors, so as to show everyone's strength!"
"It's really a pain in the face! A dinner party to do such a thing!" Tang Lang sneered, but since it was helpful for cultivation, let's grab a few more cups and taste it.
Feng Honglang seemed to see his plan, and hurriedly persuaded him: "You kid don't be greedy! Each cup of this five-flavor wine takes a lot of time to refine the spiritual power in it, otherwise the wine will surge and get drunk to death, maybe you won't wake up until the beginning of the fight!"
Tang Lang agreed on the surface, but in fact, he said in his heart: "I have a secret weapon, even if I drink a jar of wine at one time, I won't react, and I will act when I see the opportunity, as long as I am not suspected by others." ”
The hall was arranged in advance, the space expanded several times, a zigzag stream flowed in it, nearly a hundred seats were placed on both sides of the stream, many positions were already seated, Feng Honglang observed left and right for a moment, picked a few seats near the middle of the stream, and beckoned the three of them to sit together.
Tang Lang was a little strange: "City Lord, we are all sitting together, so how can we grab the wine? Come over a glass of sweet wine, the three of us are not good to snatch it from you." ”
Wen Yuyu said with a smile: "Brother Tang has just arrived, and he is really very courageous!" But you can take a closer look around, except for Shao'an Bajie and a few other masters, the rest of the people are sitting with their own city lords, and if necessary, the city lords will take action, so as not to make a fool of themselves!"
His hand seemed to be persuasive, but in fact it was provocative, but Tang Lang was not moved, but carefully observed the seats present, and found that it was indeed the same as Wen Yuyu said, most people sat together in groups of three or five, and only a few dozen people occupied a section of the stream alone, sitting there with a proud expression.
"Life must be happy, don't make the golden bottle empty to the moon!" Although Tang Lang was a bastard in his previous life, he also remembered a few famous sentences related to wine, and immediately showed a wild and uninhibited expression: "Lord of the city, I also want to occupy a seat alone, so that I can see the outstanding people here!"
Without waiting for Feng Honglang to refuse, Tang Lang had already gotten up from his seat and walked towards a vacant seat.
"You...... Hey, don't ......" Feng Honglang saw that it was too late to stop him, if he insisted on calling him back, he would be laughed at by others, so he simply let him go, Wen Yuyu on the side showed a hint of smugness in his eyes.
Those who dare to sit alone are the masters of the young generation of Shao'an County, and they all have a certain understanding of each other, and suddenly walked out and found a seat, which aroused everyone's interest at once, and many people whispered and discussed.
When entering the door, Ba Shengrong, the city lord of Mengshan City, who had a verbal conflict with Tang Lang, looked at it, his face was happy, and he whispered a few words in the ear of a young man beside him, and the young man next to him got up and walked to a young man who closed his eyes alone not far away and quietly explained a few words.
Seeing this scene, Feng Honglang said secretly: "It's broken! Go and call Tang Lang back to me!"
You Ning was about to get up, but was stopped by Wen Yuyu: "My lord, Tang Lang has no one in his eyes, borrowing someone else's hand just to educate him, as long as he remembers what you just explained, there will be no problem." But if we call it back at this time, it is clear that we are afraid of Pang Qishui in Mengshan City, and we will lose to the other party for a while!"
After being delayed by him like this, the young man arranged by Ba Shengrong had already walked to the seat opposite Tang Lang, bowed slightly to Tang Lang, and said loudly: "In Pang Qishui, the mountain city of Xiameng, you haven't asked for advice yet?"
Everything that happened, Tang Lang naturally saw it in his eyes and was blatant
Naturally, he couldn't sit idly by, nodded and said: "There is a rule in our place, if you want to know someone's name when you drink, you must drink three glasses yourself!"
"What?" Pang Qishui thought to himself, if it weren't for the city lord's orders, I wouldn't have bothered to deal with a kid like you who came out of nowhere, and you would dare to put up a fight with me.
Pang Qishui laughed dryly: "This brother is a little interesting! I will talk to you at the banquet later." After speaking, he sat down with a pale face and said nothing.
After a while, the rest of the city lords rushed to the table, and most of the seats were full. At this time, the county guard Yin Tairan was finally late, and he was accompanied by several of the most prestigious Tianjiao Yan Xingjian, Wu Huazang, Yu Mingda and Zhuang Tianrui in Liaochang City, all of whom were ranked among the eight masters of Shao'an.
"The dinner party begins!" Yin Tairan's old-fashioned voice sounded.
I thought there would be a lengthy speech, but I didn't expect Yin Tairan to stop speaking after only four words, which made Tang Lang a little uncomfortable.
The flowers and trees on both sides of the creek are constantly flashing with spiritual light, and plates of steaming and aura delicacies appear in front of everyone, each of which is several times more delicious than the original Wuji snow meat pot in Minghai Restaurant, which caused Tang Lang's index finger to move, and he couldn't help but pounce on it to eat.
But everyone did it properly, there were no extra movements, Tang Lang could only press the drum in his abdomen first, waiting for the order.
At this time, Lu Hexuan dressed up and appeared in front of everyone, holding a worn ribbon in his hand, and draped it on the county guard Yin Tairan.
Then Yin Tairan said aloud: "The Tianlan Empire has been established to this day, it has been six hundred and thirty-seven years, during which Liaochang City has been captured by the enemy several times, but the ancestors have overcome thorns and thorns, and recaptured the territory from the enemy, so that the Tianlan battle flag has always fluttered in the sky over Liaochang, today our generation must take history as a mirror and strive to forge ahead!"
"Take history as a mirror and forge ahead!" Everyone present had solemn expressions and echoed loudly.
"This is like a leader's speech!" Tang Lang couldn't help but say a few words in his heart.
After Yin Tairan finished speaking, everyone began to eat together.
The so-called dinner party is just a small gathering before the next day's competition, so as to divide the strength level, everyone's mind is not on eating, most of them stop when they take a little thing at will, as long as Tang Lang takes a portion of each dish, he will continue to devour it.
"Not bad, the color and flavor are complete, the mouth melts, soft and smooth, ......"
"The spiritual power is still sufficient, this dish is almost as small as half a pill, and you have to eat a little more......"
It may be a habit developed by eating with Jiang Dali and Zhao Feiyu before, Tang Lang muttered quietly while eating, but everyone present was not bad at cultivation, and he could hear the sound clearly at all, which caused many people to look sideways, and some even covered their mouths and laughed.
You Ning felt a little embarrassed, turned his eyes to look at Feng Honglang, and asked if he needed to make Tang Lang stop, but the other party shook his head and didn't want to stop it.
Yin Tairan also looked in the direction of Tang Lang, and couldn't help but smile dumbly: "Funny little guy!
In this way, Tang Lang ate for half an hour as if no one was around, and when the plates around him were already piled up more than half a person high, he stopped with satisfaction and patted his slightly swollen lower abdomen: "I finally ate eighty percent full!"
