Chapter 127: Meaningful Elder Class Master
It did take a lot of time to re-establish the banquet, and it was already in the afternoon when it was properly reorganized, and Hebo let people set off a big firecracker.
This time, all the people with heads and faces in Xinhui County are here!
The leaders of more than a dozen martial arts halls and dart bureaus in the county town all came to congratulate with congratulatory gifts, wearing new clothes, and laughing and laughing, as if they had never thought of not coming.
They talked with great interest about the strange things they saw on the road, and a group of foreigners were hunting for wild beasts, which was a sensation in the whole city.
Then, they heard the story of the fake lion scaring off the real lion for the first time!
Even if it wasn't to congratulate Chen Mu, they should have come to congratulate Old Class Master Cai, because they knew that such a feat was enough to push Old Class Master Cai to the peak status of the previous generation of Grandmasters!
Many historical celebrities have quite dramatic legends and even myths among the people.
But this kind of legendary story is often written from generation to generation, and it is caused by more and more exaggerated brushwork.
And this deed of Cai Lao's class master has a large number of witnesses, and it is staged under their noses!
Even if you didn't come to the feast, you can still feel how shocked it was by the foreigners who were still chasing the beasts at this time!
Everyone seemed to want to leave their names in this matter, and even ordinary people joined the crowd.
They kept spreading the story, so that in just half a day, there were multiple versions of the story, each more exaggerated than the other.
And many people choose that hearing is better than seeing, so they prepared congratulatory gifts and came to Chen's house.
Many people have heard that the current Chen family was bought and rebuilt by the distant nephew of the Chen family, but there are many old people who recognize Chen Mu.
They finally learned that the Chen family was not dead, and Chen Ershao, who was declared dead by the government, was actually still alive!
But the government has already made a decision, and no one will dare to overturn this conclusion easily, and at their age and level, what they shouldn't say will not be able to say half a word.
Most of them came for the old head of Cai's class, but when they came here, they found that Chen Mu was the second young man of the Chen family, and their attitudes naturally changed.
Some people felt that their congratulatory gifts were too perfunctory and too cold, and asked their entourage to go home to add them, and some people immediately made up the silver tickets and so on.
Lin Sheng is an old Jianghu, greeting guests together with Hebo, thoughtful and polite, without losing any grace, plus the servants of the Song family, taking care of them and sticking them, without the slightest slackness.
Ordinary guests sat outside, and the few tables in the main hall almost gathered all the upper-class people in the entire Xinhui City.
They are all already big names with heads and faces, and Chen Mu is just a young man under the age of twenty, who seems to be a bit noisy.
But the old head of Cai and the eldest lady of the Song family sat next to Chen Mu on the left and right, and there were foreigners like Prussian on the table, and their aura was finally not weak.
Prussian has been preaching in the Lingnan region for decades, whether it is a high-ranking official or a nobleman living in a temple, a peddler and pawn in the market, or a reckless man who licks blood with a knife, he has all heard of the name of this foreigner.
Today, he actually took off his missionary costume and put on a Chinese-style robe and horse coat, which is enough to show his attitude.
Although Chen Mu is young, he has received enough support at home and abroad, and this weight is enough to win their respect and be equal to them.
Halfway through the banquet, everyone came over to toast the old class leader Cai, and the old class master Cai also let go of the taboo, drank so much that his old face was red, and the atmosphere was also harmonious.
However, Chen Mu also knew that these people were all coming for Cai Lao's class master, and although he would not despise him anymore, he was still a little weak in the end.
Chen Mu also expected such a situation, he wanted to invite Lin Fucheng to come over earlier, and he had also considered this, after all, he was the host's family, if the guests were too strong, they would take the lead, but if there was no such a big man coming, he would not be able to support this scene.
Of course, the scene is secondary in the final analysis, and what Chen Mu wants is appeal.
Regarding this point, Chen Mu had also discussed it in detail with Cai Lao Class Master in private earlier, and received the support of Cai Lao Class Master.
Especially after Chen Mu revealed his true identity, the old class leader Cai was even more emotional.
Seeing that the wine had passed three rounds, Chen Mu stood up, saluted everyone in a circle, and then said.
"My nephew is sparse and thin, and I am really fortunate to be able to work with my uncles and predecessors to support me, and I take this opportunity to have a nephew who wants to discuss it with my uncles."
Although Chen Mu looks immature, he speaks well, he is not arrogant, but he is not lacking in confidence, he is neither humble nor arrogant, and he can be regarded as a talent.
Some people looked at the face of the old class leader Cai, and immediately quieted down, but some of them didn't think so, and still turned their heads to each other, whispered, and even let out hearty laughter.
Chen Mu glanced at it, and did not stop it, but just spoke.
"I think you should also know that some time ago, some foreign students went to the foreign concession to parade in the streets to petition, which caused conflicts, and several students were detained, and they have not been released to this day."
As soon as Chen Mu said this, a small number of people quieted down.
"I don't hide it from you, these foreign students have a lot to do with my brother-in-law Lin Wen, Miss Song and I once went to the consulate to negotiate, hoping that the other party could release these students, but the consulate put forward a condition, that is, the International Skills Competition."
"If we win the team of foreigners, they will agree to release these students, you should know that this is not just a matter of a few students, but a challenge to my entire Lingnan martial arts!"
Chen Mu's eyes were clear and resolute, and the people in the audience finally quieted down.
They are all the heads of the people in the Xinhui realm, so they naturally know about this matter, but no one has yet taken the lead in doing this.
The so-called martial arts people, to put it bluntly, are the underworld, which is not visible, and the provocation of foreigners is hateful, but if they show up to fight, it is equivalent to exposing themselves.
If this is a trap of foreigners, the government will investigate it, and they will not be clean with one or two butts, and they must not let the government catch them all?
Martial arts has a martial arts survival method, and there are different ways, no matter which way it is, it will never be the one that shows up.
Because of such a cognitive foundation, they also felt very ridiculous about Chen Mu's next proposal.
Only a stunned young man like Chen Mu thought that the martial arts rivers and lakes were as full of bloody chivalry as the book said, so he would make such an initiative, right?
"Fighting with foreigners? You've watched too many big dramas, right? ”
"Hahaha!"
"Young people are young people after all, which is understandable, but everyone still has to live, fight or something, forget it."
"But no, what about foreigners' provocations? What if they win? Can you miss a piece of meat? ”
"But isn't it, if it weren't for those foreign students who were troublesome, how could the foreigners arrest them? This is a tiger plucking whiskers from its mouth, who can blame it? Why should we risk our lives to fight, just to save a few of them idiots who only know how to read? ”
The elders in the field did not leave Chen Mu with any affection at all, and in their opinion, there was no room for negotiation in this matter.
To be honest, seeing such a scene, Chen Mu was a little stunned and disappointed.
In his imagination, shouldn't these martial arts people be filled with righteous indignation, shouldn't they rush to go up and fight, and even fight for the place on the field?
How did it become like this, they didn't even think about fighting, and even sneered and said cool things?
This river and lake is not the rivers and lakes in Chen Mu's imagination, and this martial arts is by no means the martial arts in Chen Mu's imagination, these people are not chivalrous.
Chen Mu had prepared a lot of rhetoric, believing that he would be able to convince them, but now, Chen Mu couldn't say a word.
Although Old Master Cai appreciated his courage very much, he also warned him that this matter was not easy, but he didn't expect that these people had no room for negotiation at all, and they actually maintained their opposition one-sidedly.
Chen Mu was a little disheartened, and he could only shake his head and smile bitterly: "Since all the uncles and uncles don't mean this, then even if I talk too much, I won't mention this matter in the future, everyone will drink ......."
Chen Mu sat down and drank a glass of stuffy wine, which was bitter.
Seeing that Chen Mu was depressed, the old class leader Cai wanted to comfort him, but after all, he didn't speak, but stood up and said to everyone.
"Guys, we've had enough wine and food, so we need something to cheer up, right?"
Cai Lao's class master is highly respected, and today he has completed the feat, and there is no shelf, and he responds to the toast one by one, today he seems to be the protagonist, who doesn't buy this face?
"What does the old master have to offer?" When even someone agrees.
Cai Lao Ban Master smiled and said: "Many of you are practicing fist and foot kung fu, Lao Cai and I are just a lion dancer, and I can't see any way, I can only look at the excitement, but well, Chen Shinephew is a master, I don't know if you old things, who dares to challenge it?" ”
Old Master Cai proposed with a joking tone, half-truth, but it provoked everyone's anger!
They are all good people, they are fierce and fierce, no one obeys anyone, each faction has its own unique skills, one by one to brag, it is simply shameless, and they also like to kick each other in order to increase their popularity.
Hearing the words at this time, their eyes also lit up, just like an old wolf, staring at Chen Mu like a little fat sheep.
Chen Mu only felt a chill behind him, and he didn't expect that Old Sect Master Cai would pull such a big hatred for him, although he was extremely disappointed in these people, he didn't intend to treat them as enemies!
"What do you mean, old master!" Chen Mu was also anxious, and complained in a low voice to the old class leader Cai.
Cai Lao Ban Master smiled mischievously and said: "They annoy you, you should find them to be angry, listen to me this time, come and fight one by one, and you don't need to save face for anyone!" ”
Chen Mu didn't understand: "Why is this?" ”
Old Cai's squad leader smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll know after the fight, remember, don't keep your strength." ”
