Volume 2 Ji Hui Ningdu Chapter 154 Xiao Mansion Banquet

The Xiao Mansion seemed to be specially setting up a banquet for Xu Xiang, and when he walked towards the banquet hall, there were energetic servants standing on both sides of the road.

Even if Xu Xiang didn't have a little kung fu, he could feel that the servants on both sides were not ordinary servants, but soldiers who had gone through countless battles! The murderous aura of their bodies is not covered up by a servant's garment.

He couldn't help but secretly keep a little in his mind, just from these servants, he could see that unlike Xiao Man and Xiao Xueying, two simple people, Xiao Xuan's is not a simple person!

Under the leadership of Xiao Man, he entered the banquet hall, and there were seven guest tables on the left and right columns, and there was a small table next to each guest table, which was slightly lower than the main and guest tables.

The reason why this small table is set up is because of the exquisiteness. After the banquet begins, the food is served on the small table, and then the maid uses white jade chopsticks to put the dishes into a small plate and present them to the guests.

If the guest does not like the dish, it will be removed, and if the guest likes it, the dish will be placed at the guest table at the guest's request.

After Xu Xiang came to this world, he had never seen a real banquet, and the layout of the banquet hall of the Xiao family was the layout of the aristocratic dinner.

He had a feeling of "not knowing what to do", and looked curiously at the tall banquet hall.

"Master Xu, please go inside!" Xiao Man ushered him into the front seat, and then sat down on the seat opposite him.

As for the main seat, it must be Xiao Xuan, the host of the banquet. It's just that he hasn't arrived yet.

Several girls dressed very solemnly walked in, and came to the guest seat in twos and twos, and knelt down in front of the small table at the guest table.

"Young Master Xu, please wait for a while, my father is already on his way over." Xiao Man said.

It didn't take long for another door of the banquet hall to open from the outside in, and a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in a solemn Yunjin dress, sat on top of a wheelchair and was pushed in by an old servant.

Xiao Man hurriedly got up, Xu Xiang guessed that this person might be Xiao Xuan, and he also got up.

"The child has seen his father!" Xiao Man respectfully walked to the wheelchair and made a big salute.

"Get up." Xiao Xuan said lightly.

"Xu Changsha has seen Xiao... My lord. "I don't know what to call it, so I can only use this general name.

The old servant pushed Xiao Xuan to the main seat, and Xiao Xuan opened his mouth and said, "Young Master Xu doesn't need to be polite, please sit down quickly." ”

The tone of his speech has changed a lot, just now he had a casual attitude towards Xiao Man, but he was very enthusiastic towards Xu Xiang.

Xiao Xuan was in the main seat, and did not speak again, but gave the old servant beside him a look, the latter clapped his hands gently, and several women dressed in flowers and branches entered the center of the banquet, and after the musicians who came over sat down, the music sounded, and these girls began to dance.

Xu Xiang was invited, Xiao Xuan didn't speak, so naturally he wouldn't be the first to speak. Originally, I didn't have anything to do with him, but I suddenly called myself to the banquet, and my attitude was unclear, so it was better not to talk casually.

The maids began to serve the food, and for each dish, the maids used a pair of white jade chopsticks to put some into a small plate, and handed them over for him to taste.

Maybe it's because Xiao Xueying is a foodie, the dishes made by the chef of Xiao Mansion taste good.

Afterwards, the maid poured wine again, and the banquet went on in silence while several people were silent.

Xu Xiang was not in a hurry, so he simply drank a little wine and watched the dancers dance with relish.

After the dance, the dancers also bowed and retreated, and Xiao Xuan said: "Young Master Xu, you are a food master, I don't know if I am satisfied with the food in this house?" ”

Xu Xiang knew that he had gotten to the point, so he said flatteringly: "Very good." ”

"If you like it! Invite Xu Gongzi to come over to the banquet today, and where it is abrupt, I also hope that Xu Gongzi Haihan! ”

"Lord Xiao is polite, Zai Xia is just a businessman, and the invitation of the Lord to the banquet flatters Zaixia!"

"The old man invited you over today, mainly for two things."

"Lord Xiao, please speak!" Xu Xiang said secretly, the main topic is here!

"Before talking about these two things, there is something I want to ask Xu Gongzi for verification." Xiao Xuan didn't say it directly, and the topic suddenly changed.

"I wonder if Gongzi Xu has been to the Great Chu Kingdom?" Xiao Xuan asked again.

"No, I didn't." Xu Xiang replied without hesitation, strictly speaking, he was reborn into this world and had not set foot in an inch of the land of Chu.

Xiao Xuan showed a look of "sure enough" on his face, and said, "Do you know that there are two princes in Da Chu?" The eldest prince's name is Xu Hong, and the word is Changjun! The second prince's name is Xu Xiang, the word Changsha! ”

Xu Xiang was slightly flustered, did he know his identity?

This is not a good thing, although the surprise and panic on his face flashed, but it was captured by the keen Xiao Xuan.

"Could it be that Lord Xiao thinks I'm the second prince of Chu State?" Xu Xiang pretended to be calm, and covered up his embarrassment with a hearty laugh, "Hahaha...... If I am a prince, how can I be a businessman in Ningdu? ”

Aristocrats generally looked down on merchants, and if someone said that a man as noble as a prince would go into business, no one would believe it, and they would even laugh off their big teeth.

"Although the old man also thinks that the prince of a prince will not engage in business, but there is a lot of evidence that you are the second prince of Chu State, Xu Xiang!"

"Lord Xiao, don't joke with Xu like this!" Xu Xiang reacted at once and did not fall into his trap.

When a normal person hears the words "I have evidence xxxx", they will definitely be very curious, and they will ask where they have revealed their flaws.

As everyone knows, this just confirms what the family suspects.

"Alright! Since you don't admit it, you must have your troubles! The old man doesn't insist on asking more! "If Xiao Xuan's original suspicion that he was the second prince of Chu was seven points, now it is only six points.

Xu Xiang said: "Could it be that Lord Xiao misunderstood, Xu is the second prince of Chu, so this banquet was set up." Xu disappointed the adults! ”

Xiao Xuan shook his head and said, "Not really! Whether you are the second prince of Chu or not, this is not important to the old man. Didn't the old man say that he invited you over before, were there two things? ”

"Well, sir, please speak!"

"Do you know how the old man's legs are crippled?" He asked, pointing to his legs.

Xu Xiang didn't know about his crippled legs, and how could he know how he was crippled, so he shook his head.

Xiao Xuan sighed and said, "Five years ago, the old man used to be the general of Pujiamen and one of the captains of the city patrol division. One night, I received news that someone was going to seize the Pujia Gate. ”

So he led the soldiers of the city patrol department to conduct a night patrol, and sure enough, at three o'clock in the hour, he found a large number of murderers covered in black, climbed the city tower, and killed dozens of soldiers defending the city. When I arrived with my brigade, the assailants were already planning to open the gates. ”

"Outside the city gate are dense black-armored soldiers, holding torches, with the posture of invading Ningdu!"

The old man killed all the murderers in the city and rearranged the defense line! Because it was dark, he didn't dare to open the door to defend against the enemy, so he could only let the black-armored soldiers leave. ”

Later, after many investigations, I learned that those black armor soldiers were soldiers raised by a certain family in Ningdu, and their purpose was to seize the city gate and cholera Ningdu. And the murderers in the city are the dead men raised by others! ”

"The old man is determined to find out all the murderers in Ningdu City, and finally locked down a petty officer of the military department, who carries a secret letter, which is his correspondence with the people behind the scenes."

"However, after all, it was still a bad move, and halfway through the investigation, the old man was in a hurry, and he fell into the strategy of the people behind the scenes, and these legs were also wasted at that time!"

Later, the petty officer of the military department appeared, but he died at the door of the thin door. MeSign can't be traced! ”

At that time, the old man also sent someone to investigate the fine door, and learned that the secret letter was likely to fall into the hands of the fine door! It's just that the power of the fine door is strong, and it is not easy to forcibly ask for it. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Xuan paused, picked up his wine glass and drank a glass of wine.

He continued: "The fine gate has always been mysterious and deep-rooted, and although I am the captain of the city, I dare not directly conflict with it. ”

"Now that I finally know that the fine door is an industry of the Great Xia Dragon Bird Heavenly Dragon Division, I am relieved......"

After listening to his remarks, Xu Xiang was thinking in his heart, what did he mean by saying this to himself?

"The old man once heard that when you entered the city, you and Miss Qin Zhiwei of the fine door entered the city together, your relationship must be not shallow, right?" Xiao Xuan began to say his purpose.

"This question, Captain Xiao has already asked me. Miss Qin and I are really just nodding friends! Xu Xiang said, secretly thinking in his heart, he didn't want to let him ask Qin Zhiwei for that secret letter, right?

"Young Master Xu, you don't have to be so vigilant! Father dreamed of finding out who was behind the scenes! You have a great relationship with Miss Qin, if you hadn't gotten the exact news, I wouldn't have told you about it today! Xiao Man said.

"Why do you think Miss Qin has a good relationship with me?" Xu Xiang asked puzzled.

"Actually, after your friend named Yang Dianfeng was arrested by the City Patrol Division, it was Luo Min who finally got Cui Mi! If Miss Qin and you were really just nodding friends, she wouldn't let Luo Min help you at all. Xiao Man replied.

"Oh? Can't it be that Luo Min has a good relationship with me and helped me? ”

"If Xu Gongzi said that, it would be meaningless! This secret letter has no effect on the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow. But for fathers, it's very important! Xu Gongzi only needs to open his mouth, and he won't lose anything! Don't...... Don't even want to help with this little favor? Xiao Man said with some disappointment.

Xu Xiang pondered for a moment, in fact, the Xiao family had given him a lot of help and was friendly to him.

"Since Xiao Duwei's words have been said to this point, it will be too unkind if I don't agree again! Okay, I can try my best to ask Miss Qin for a secret letter, if she is not willing to give it, then I can't help it......"

Hearing Xu Xiang agree, the father and son showed a look of joy on their faces.

"Whether it succeeds or not, the old man is grateful to Xu Gongzi!" Xiao Xuan said.

"Lord Xiao is polite! But I don't know what this second thing is? ”

Xiao Xuan said: "The old man is a little weak, and he can't stay for a long time, so he can't accompany Xu Gongzi!" I'll let Man'er discuss this matter with you! ”

Xu Xiang hurriedly replied: "Lord Xiao, please!" ”

After saying that, the old servant pushed him out of the banquet hall.
