【010】Birthday Banquet Gift
The big man Ye Qingxuan pointed to was a big man with a height of more than 180 centimeters, with a strong and stout body, but his facial features were upright and quiet, his face was slightly narrow and long, and his short beard on his chin made up for this shortcoming, and the whole person gave people an extremely calm feeling.
This person...... Good!
Ye Qingxuan and the others looked at each other and discussed, and when they felt something, the man turned his head and looked over here.
Well, martial arts are not bad, and being able to perceive that someone is looking at him is not only because of his profound internal skills, but also because the other party's senses are superhuman, which is not something that can be achieved by practicing internal skills.
Seeing the gaze of Ye Qingxuan and the others, the big man named Ziche Martingale smiled freely, and actually walked towards them slowly, his steps were steady and powerful, and he had a momentum of compelling.
On the contrary, You Likun, the leader of the "Shuangsha Gang", saw the subordinates standing behind him suddenly leave, and his face was full of anger, but it seemed that because of the large number of guests here, and his mood was not too good, he muttered a few words and stopped looking here.
Seeing the other party coming, Ye Qingxuan smiled cheerfully in his heart, and said appreciatively: "This person is talented, but it's a pity that the jewel is dusty......"
Boss Yuan was stunned and said, "Can Young Master Duan know this just by looking at it?"
Ye Qingxuan said lightly: "The little brother knows some techniques of observing people in the subtleties. The reason why he is said to be talented is because when he saw that we were talking about him, not only did he not feel the slightest uneasiness, but took the initiative to come to the meeting, and he was full of confidence in his steps, which shows that he is a bold and promising person, not an ordinary person. It's a pity that Shuangsha can't make the most of this talent......"
At this time, the sub-car martingale had already come to the three of them and bowed. said: "Boss Yuan is invited." I just saw a few people who seemed to be talking about it. But the two little brothers have never met, and they are not talented, so they came to ask for acquaintance, and everyone handed them over to their friends......"
After all, he is a wealthy businessman in Nanjiang City, and this Boss Yuan is also a well-connected person, so it is not surprising that he knows each other.
The three of them also stood up, and Boss Yuan smiled and said, "Brother Ziche came just in time, and he was about to introduce the two young heroes to Brother Tai to get to know him." This is ......"
Ye Qingxuan generously arched his hand and said: "Ye Qingxuan, in Xia Kunwu, I don't want Boss Yuan to be embarrassed, so I introduced myself!"
These people were all shocked at the same time, they couldn't imagine that Ye Qingxuan would directly say his real name, why was he so at this banquet......
The sub-car martingale glanced Ye Qingxuan up and down in horror, and said, "Is this the 'Little Sword Immortal' Brother Ye who has recently become famous in the rivers and lakes? It's really surprising, I can't imagine that I can meet the most beautiful people in the rivers and lakes here......"
Ye Qingxuan was happy and said with a smile: "Where Ye has such a good reputation, it is all spread by friends. Brother Ziche is the hero among the people, and the younger brother admired it at first sight. Make friends with sincerity. Brother Ziche, please take a seat, let's have a good chat......"
The four of them sat down peacefully.
The hall was bustling with activity. The four of them spoke with internal force, controlling the range, but they were not afraid that they would be heard by others.
After sitting down, Ziche Martingale said with emotion: "Now the most beautiful thing on the rivers and lakes is Brother Ye, first on the 'blood list' to make everyone wonder, and then won the first place in the 'Qilin Club', and he was in the limelight among the young masters, and then it was rumored that the brother was selected by Lingyun Palace as one of the 'military envoys' in the world...... The reputation of the brothers has even overshadowed the news of the 'Heavenly Absolute Masters' recently, and with the reopening of Kunwu Mountain, Brother Ye can be described as a rising star in the attention of martial artists in the world......"
Recently, Kunwushan and Ye Qingxuan's fame has indeed spread very quickly, and they are well known in the rivers and lakes, and they have become famous so quickly that Ye Qingxuan has even become the idol of a whole generation of new martial artists, and now the teenagers in their early teens, everyone regards Ye Qingxuan as the goal of struggle.
Although Ye Qingxuan has deliberately created these images recently, he is just using these reputations to do something, in fact, in his character, he really doesn't care much about these things, and now Ziche Martingale has listed them for a while, which makes Ye Qingxuan a little embarrassed.
Ye Qingxuan was just curious to see such a majestic figure in a bunch of decadent crowds, but he didn't expect that after chatting, he became more and more speculative. This Ziche Martingale is not only a martial artist, but also has a wide range of knowledge, especially for managing gang affairs and training gangs has his own set of understanding and systems, because he grew up on the riverside, he is very familiar with water warfare.
Several people talked freely, which made Meng Yuanyun and Boss Yuan admire them, and Ye Qingxuan even had an idea in his heart.
"Brother Ziche, Brother Mo Dao has a deep conversation, with Brother Tai's ability, it is more than enough to be a general in the dynasty, why stay in a 'Shuangsha Gang' to serve?"
Ziche Ying's face was heavy, he sighed, and said: "Don't hide it from my brother, I also thought about finding another way out, but on the one hand, the gang founded by the unbearable family master collapsed, and on the other hand, I was also confused, and I don't know what the future will be when I leave the Shuangsha Gang...... After a moment of hesitation, it dragged on. ”
Ye Qingxuan smiled and said: "I see that Brother Ziche is also quite hesitant in his heart, it is better to be like this, at the same time that Kunwu Mountain has reopened the mountain gate, Kunwu Academy has also been opened, and people with doors, factions and teachers can enter the academy to study." Since Brother Ziche is confused about the future, but squatting in this small Shuangsha gang is also futile, but it will wear out the hero's ambition, you might as well go to the academy to hone your martial arts, and at the same time you can also think about the future future. If Brother Ziche has a plan, you might as well find my brother, whether you want to re-enter the rivers and lakes, or even enter the court as an official, Ye will take it all in, and ensure that Brother Ziche succeeds......"
When Ziche Martingale heard this, he couldn't help but be moved, looked back at the decadent You Likun, sighed, and then his eyes lit up, and he looked at Ye Qingxuan and said steadily: "I originally thought that Brother Ye was recruited for himself, but I didn't expect to be really worried about Ziche's future, Ziche is not talented, I am willing to enter Kunwu College for further study, and I also ask Brother Ye to introduce ...... on my behalf."
"Brother Ziche is willing to come to Kunwu Academy, and the younger brother guarantees that he will definitely not regret it......"
Ye Qingxuan was overjoyed in his heart, there are not too many talents in this year, first bring them back to Kunwu Mountain, and reserve them as talents, whether it is for Jiang Shui Han's Dajiang Alliance in the future, or for Huangfu Taiming to be a trusted general, or even to stay in Kunwu to enhance his strength, it is a matter of great benefit......
The four of them were chatting lively, when they heard a burst of firecrackers outside.
Under the leadership of a group of enchanting maidservants, a large group of warriors of the Chijiao Gang entered the back hall, the first was a burly old man with a beard, and later a short-bearded scholar with an iron fan, just at a glance, he knew that these two were the main and deputy helmsmen of the Nanjiang branch of the Chijiao Gang, Tong Zhongbiao of the "Iron Lock Hengjiang" and Bi Gucheng of the "Iron Rocking Fan".
The two innate powerhouses together, especially one of them, who was also the host of this banquet and the birthday star, heard the sound of congratulations everywhere.
After entering the back hall, the guards first dispersed to the side, and only Bi Gucheng, the "iron shake fan", accompanied Tong Zhongbiao's side, greeted the guests one by one under his guidance.
Tong Zhongbiao, as the host, beckoned the guests to sit down.
The other guests began to take their seats, and only the pair of Fengyi Pavilion beauties and a few other groups of people were still chatting and laughing.
Tong Zhongbiao greeted Dong Fangzheng, the capital of Nanjiang City, and there was a jubilant and lively atmosphere in the hall.
The band stopped playing, and the sound of firecrackers, the banter of drinking and laughing, and the clamor of young men and women playing kept coming from the first two halls and the back garden, and the atmosphere here was much stricter than that.
After a moment, Tong Zhongbiao's rough laughter interrupted everyone's conversation, and then he greeted the guests affectionately and courteously.
At this time, Tong Zhongbiao stood up and happily raised his glass and said: "Today is Tong's eighty-eighth birthday, it is rare for all the distinguished guests to come, including many friends from thousands of miles away, so that Tong is very honored, I would like to borrow a glass of water and wine, and thank you for your heart." ”
Everyone stood up and saluted, and the atmosphere became enthusiastic, and the sound of compliments and wine fights was endless, and even the local gang members who had been forcibly invited to the tables forced a smile to congratulate them, and after a while, everyone sat back in their seats.
The banquet was held directly.
More than a dozen beautiful maidservants, of course, were all prostitutes from Manhuayuan, and more than a dozen Kabuki began to perform in the open space.
Amid the uproar of the crowd, the band began to play vigorously, and the hall was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
During the opening banquet, some people kept toasting Tong Zhongbiao, and at the same time, there were also people with special congratulatory gifts to present gifts.
Among those gifts, there is a three-foot-high golden Buddha statue, made of gold, absolute local tyrant gold, as well as calligraphy and paintings of celebrities, it is rare that Tong Zhongbiao, a martial artist, still understands these, and the donkey's lips are not evaluated on the horse's mouth, and there are porcelain antiques from the previous dynasty, etc., which are all good things that can be handled......
Unexpectedly, he was just a rudder master of the Chijiao Gang, and he had such a respected status in the local martial arts, and the local merchants were generous as if they didn't want money, which made people blush.
Boss Yuan said in Ye Qingxuan's ear: "The Chijiao Gang controls the Caoyun in the middle and upper reaches of the river, these merchants seem to be local wealthy merchants, but many of them are agents of big merchants, and the gifts they give are basically provided by the big merchants behind them, in order to establish close ties with the Chijiao Gang, otherwise where would they get so much money to a local helmsman...... Tong Zhongbiao seems to have received a big dowry, but in fact, he still has to hand over the good things to Yao Dingsheng when he turns around, otherwise he will be the helmsman......"
Ye Qingxuan nodded, he didn't expect that there were so many twists and turns in this, and the gifts were given so secretly, it was really insightful.
At this time, there was a major event, Dong Fangzheng, the richest man in Nanjiang City, gave an extremely precious treasure, which was a pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets carved with the rare and even extinct 'snow crystal chalcedony'.
When the bracelets appeared in front of everyone's eyes, everyone exclaimed in amazement at their beauty!
