In the green shade garden, Liu Fa quietly lifted the corner of the thick curtain and looked at the heads of the family who came to the banquet, and a trace of strangeness flashed in his eyes.

"In the past few days, has Qing'er been better?"

Through a door, Liu Fa raised the teacup and asked Xin He in a low voice.

Xin He nodded, and also lowered his voice and said: "Thanks to the general's concern, Qing'er's mood has been much more stable in the past few days, but he is a little afraid of me, I don't know why ......"

He shook his head, a little speechless, and looked at Liu Fa with a wry smile.

Liu Fa was silent for a long time and said: "Everything has to have a process, don't be too anxious, by the way, Xin He, you have lived in the southwest for a long time, do you know what is the origin of this Lin Tianbei, he was the first to come to the meeting, without the slightest hesitation, but it makes me a little unbelievable and difficult to figure out!" ”

Saying that, Liu Fa stroked the beard at the corner of his mouth, his eyes flashed with Dao Jingguang, he didn't know what he was thinking, Han Ju glanced at Liu Fa, and then said in a low voice: "Lin Tianbei, I don't know very well, he doesn't have a name in the southwest, but in Xiangyin, he is second only to Cao Kang!" ”

"It's getting more and more interesting......"

The corners of Liu Fa's mouth rose slightly, and then he strode in, Xin He and Jiang Baiyan followed closely behind, following Liu Fa's pace, like Liu Fa's shadow.

"Hehe, everyone, Liu Fa is polite!"

Liu Fa smiled, looking at the heads of the major clans in Xiangyin City present, and bowed his hands in a friendly manner, looking very polite.

Today, Liu Fa is dressed in casual clothes, dressed in a lilac Confucian shirt, with a waist flower dark inlaid with pearls and jade clusters and jade belts, and a piece of Baifu jasper pendant hanging on the jade belt, and soft-soled satin square shoes, from time to time playing with a gold-painted folding fan in his hand, the whole person looks outstanding. is extraordinary, and there is really a sense of being a beautiful prince when walking, which has attracted the admiring eyes of many maids beside him.

The heads of the families looked at each other, and they couldn't help but be secretly surprised in their hearts. I knew that this general was a young weak crown son, but I didn't expect him to be so young, a gentle smile on his face, like a spring breeze, look at his kind appearance at the moment, who could have imagined, just a few days ago, he personally led the army to defeat the army of King Louluo, all the way to kill the thieves, from the south prison to the southwest mansion, only victory, the barbarians heard his name, as if hearing the tiger wolf, there was no change of color, also a few days ago, he ordered to throw, Nearly 1,000 members of the Cao family in Xiangyin ended their glorious family days, and all of them became slaves doing hard labor. Although this son is young, he can act quite old and spicy, and he should not be underestimated.

With awe, the heads of the family carefully greeted Liu Fa one by one, and then sat down uneasily, exchanging apprehensive glances with each other.

The head of the family sat down according to the guest host, he was the master, and the lord of Xiangyin, so of course he sat in the main seat, and the guest position next to him sat Lin Tianbei, the head of the Lin family in Xiangyin, Lin Tianbei smiled, stroked his beard and kept looking at Liu Fan, his eyes flashed a trace of weirdness, from time to time there was a flash of fine light, and Liu Fan's scalp was numb, he had not seen Lin Tianbei, but just looked at Lin Tianbei's appearance, as if he was very familiar with himself.

Liu Fa laughed, didn't say much, took his attention away from Lin Tianbei, turned his head and saw that the heads of the families were sitting quietly at the table, everyone looked at him with blank eyes, and there was a lot of emotion in their hearts. He hurriedly picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "All the masters of the family are distinguished guests who come from afar, and they are not well greeted, so I would like to pay tribute to the heads of the family with this cup." ”

After speaking, Liu Fa raised his neck and drank the wine in the cup, and then showed the bottom of the cup to everyone. Seeing that Liu Fa was so polite, the heads of the family were a little sure in their hearts, and they didn't dare to say that they didn't dare, so they stood up one after another and drank a cup with them.

Liu Fa was in a very good mood, seeing that everyone was giving face, and there were no arrogant and rude people, he couldn't help but feel very happy, clapped his hands, separated from a lake in the water pavilion, a red lantern suddenly lit up on an open-air platform a hundred steps square, illuminated the platform as bright as day, everyone was surprised, two teams of dancing dancers went out, Tingting stood on the platform, across the lake of more than 100 steps towards Fang Zheng and the heads of the family in the water pavilion bent down and bowed, and then the sound of the guqin and the sheng played, slowly like a spring breeze blowing water. Such as a clear spring dripping stone, crisp and pleasant, refreshing.

The Maiko slowly stretch their sleeves to the melodious music, and dance like butterflies wearing flowers, and their graceful posture is flawless. At this time, a singer in a pink palace costume moved lightly, slowly walked onto the platform, flicked her water sleeves a few times, opened her mouth slightly, and sang with the piano song: "Shame and drunkenness can't make a song, and your slender hands cover Xiangluo." The flowers reflect the candles, secretly convey the deep meaning, and the wine thinks into the horizontal waves. Seeing Zhu Chengbi's heart confused, turning over the pulse, and collecting double moths. When we meet, we are separated from each other, and the spring is over, and I am sad about it...... "The song is clear and tactful, like the first chirp of the warbler, and it is passed into everyone's ears across the hundred-step lake, it is clear, and the score is not bad, which makes people can't help but hit the knots and harmony."

Look at the heads of the families who keep appreciating the singing. Liu Fa smiled slightly, and there were many emotions in his heart, once upon a time, he also thought that he would sit on top of the high hall and talk about elegance with everyone, but today, what he wants to say is not these......

Jiang Baiyan, who was accompanying him, squeezed his eyes at Liu Fan, and then raised his glass and frequently saluted the heads of the family, who did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly stood up and drank again. Although Jiang Baiyan's status is slightly inferior to Liu Fa, he is also a general under Liu Fa after all, and what makes the heads of the families relaxed is that the generals under Liu Fa are not so short-tempered, just like Liu Fa, some elegant style, but everyone clearly knows that these people in front of them, in the Southwest Mansion, can definitely be called a killing god, so they dare not slack off.

At this sensitive moment of turbulent relationship with the family, the heads of the family did not dare to provoke criticism casually. The platform singing and dancing continued, but everyone's minds were no longer on it, they exchanged glances with each other, and raised their eyes as if they were suspicious and glanced at Lin Tianbei, who had been smiling indifferently, and saw that he looked calm, and their hearts beat drums, this old guy is so calm, could it be that he has reached some kind of tacit understanding with Liu Fa in private?

"Ahem, General Liu, General Yaxing today, invite us to the banquet, we are very honored, the old man respects the adults with a cup, and please enjoy the ......."

A family head in Xiangyin City stood up and took the lead in toasting Liu Fa.

Liu Fa raised his wine glass, hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "The master of the Huang family is polite, hehe, I have just entered Xiangyin." Although it is said to repel thieves and barbarians, it is actually for the peace and prosperity of Xiangyin, and the people are suffering; The dead people are suffering! If Xiangyin wants long-term peace and stability, it still needs to rely on the strong support of the heads of the family to help Liu stabilize the local people, and when he also has high hopes for you, don't be like the Cao family, hehe......"

What is surprising is that everyone knows that it is for the Cao Kang case, Liu Fa is angry and decisive, and thousands of people are killed, but there are not a few people who are secretly connected with Dali in the family here, and they don't know how far this general will investigate the case will not be investigated, or will all the related characters in the Cao Kang case be uprooted? The good thing is that Liu Fa said that he wanted to meet with the heads of various families, which shows that Liu Fa still has good intentions for the family for the time being, so that Liu Fa will not exterminate all the families as Duan Gongzi said.
