Text Chapter 104 Weird
Yang Rui felt that he was probably the most idle host. Since Hua Hate Liu, Princess Yuqing and his party came to his hometown, Mo said that he was going to hold a banquet, and he didn't even have a chance to see a few people.
It's as if he's just an inn here—he only needs to provide food and lodging, and he doesn't need to say anything else politely or do any other personal things.
In this way, this is also a certain degree of "shop bullying".
It is already the third day that the group has arrived in the township, although it is not clear how long they want to settle down in the township to rest, but with the heart of the master's family, they can't see the main owner for three days, and it is really embarrassing to say it - besides, Yang Rui feels that it is very necessary to explain to this group of people why his father is not in the township and went to Beidi with Yang Jun, although it is not a shameful thing to go anywhere, but you must know that Hua Hate Liu is now responsible for the supervision of the entire Yang family, If it affects the status of the clan in the clan because he can't explain it properly, he Yang Rui can't afford it.
Therefore, early in the morning, Yang Rui sent people to the guest compartment to invite Hua Hate Liu, Yang Jian, and Princess Yuqing respectively, and in less than a moment, the three little servants reported one after another: If it is a dinner party, it is still okay, but a luncheon is definitely not good.
What does this mean? Why can't the luncheon? Yang Rui asked one by one, only to find that the descriptions of the three little guys almost used words such as "weak", "tired" and "still resting".
Thinking of this, Yang Rui couldn't help but be in awe: At a young age, he can still know whether he knows how to forge ahead, which is really a blessing for Xizhou!
However, since it was set in the evening, he was happy to have plenty of time to prepare, so he naturally would not let go of such an opportunity. When the lights were on, and when they invited everyone to come to the banquet, before they reached the guest compartment, these three groups of people had already arrived early, and they did not greet each other, and entered the hall of the banquet guests, and they were silent after sitting down.
The sensitive Yang Rui even noticed that these three groups of people even had mutual hatred - but how could this be? Let's not talk about the relationship between Xizhou and Xiyue, even between the two young elders of Xizhou, Hua Hate Liu and Yang Jian, there shouldn't be this kind of emotion!
Although he felt this way, Yang Rui still insisted on overriding intuition with reason, firmly believing that this was just some tacit understanding between the three of them.
So, when he confidently finished the welcome speech and toast, and waited for the audience to react, first the applause rang out quickly and slowly, and then there were scattered and fragmented words, such as "it is like this", "it makes sense", "what is said is very true", etc., no matter how it sounds, it seems to be perfunctory.
Finally, when Yang Rui put down other thoughts and focused on announcing the start of the dinner, the scene instantly "lived".
Among the three groups of people, except for Princess Yuqing's side with a little restraint, the other two groups of people seemed to have not eaten for several days, one by one, like a starving ghost reincarnated, eating when stuffy, drinking when looking up, where to care about what wine to pass the three rounds.
"This ...... Haven't you provided them with food for the last few days? Although he thought it was incredible, Yang Rui still carefully asked his subordinates to confirm.
The city lord laughed, the food is good every day...... It's just that for now...... Right now, the little ones don't know what's going on. At first, the steward absolved himself of his responsibilities, but in the end he himself was a little hard to believe: if there was enough food, why were these people so embarrassed?
"Fortunately, there is still this group of people from Western Vietnam ......," he thought to himself, quietly wiping his sweat with his sleeve. In the past, the township can be said to be bitter and bitter with the West Vietnam, the township as an important grain producing area in Xizhou, it is not too much to call it a "granary", it is precisely because of its abundant products, and it is located at the junction of Xizhou and West Vietnam, so it is deeply affected by the invasion of the border soldiers of West Vietnam, and the price paid for this every year is also huge. But at this time the steward was still grateful to them, and for nothing else, the stability of the meal was enough to prove that the food supply was sufficient, and the food supply was enough to prove that he had done his job properly.
Just when he was relieved in his heart and was about to fight for it, a casual glance up made him who still had some confidence in his heart collapse instantly: just in the blink of an eye, this group of people in Xiyue seemed to have been assimilated by the other two groups of people, drinking wine and enjoying bear drinks, eating meat and gobbling up, that is, Princess Yuqing looked dignified and wore a hat to sit quietly, but the steward saw her small hands hidden under long sleeves from time to time leaning out to collect a piece of snacks on the table and grab a bunch of grapes, Then quickly retract under the table and put it in the sleeve...... Where is there still the reserve that a princess of a country should have!
At this time, Yang Rui, if he is surprised, it is more appropriate to say that he is depressed. Do these people really regard the countryside as an inn? Anyway, you should save face, right? But where is the slightest respect in front of him, if it weren't for the fact that the wine and meat really fell into the stomachs of these people, he really thought that the other party was a gang to humiliate him.
However, his doubts did not last long, as if he had read his own thoughts, a little boy stood up and nodded at Yang Rui to follow and took the lead out of the hall.
I still know this little boy Yang Rui, and I think that I must have secretly been inseparable from him when I broke my head in the Xizhou clan discussion - Yang Rui didn't dare to resent the other party, because although the other party was young, the backup was big! Even in the name of "the first person in the world", he can't mention any contempt in his heart.
Telling the left and right to take care of the other people in the hall, Yang Rui found an excuse and followed out with the figure of Tian Wei.
Today's night is quiet and clear, although Yang Rui is not a person who is easily sentimental, but after connecting with the scene of tonight's reception, his mood resonates surprisingly with this night.
The figure who was not afraid of the sky stayed quietly next to a small martial arts practice ground in the courtyard. Yang Ruike remembers clearly that it was built after he had been pestering his father Yang Min for three months when he was a child. Speaking of which, Yang Rui has had little time to sweat and practice here for so many years, and when he saw the figure of Tian Wei at this time, he seemed to remember himself at this age.
However, the feeling is different. If he said that he gave people the feeling of a lake of clear water, whether it was deep or shallow, then this world-moving heaven is unpredictable, he is more like the so-called "sea" that Yang Rui heard from businessmen, he can't see through the depth, and he can't figure out his temperament.
Especially the way he lowered his head and pondered at this time, Yang Rui was in awe when he looked at it from afar.
"I don't know ...... sir" Yang Rui approached lightly, stopped at a position a foot away behind him and bowed his head.
"Hmm...... Well, here you are? ”
At this time, Yang Rui's expression was far more embarrassed than being slapped in the face. If it is slapped by others, he will definitely not accept it, and he will get back the humiliation of this slap no matter what; But now, to be exact, it was a slap he had brought himself—he was not afraid of what he was thinking about, he was holding the half pig's trotter in his hand with relish and gnawing on it, and the remaining oily on his cheeks shone with ruddy brilliance under the light of the lamp lit on the side.
"Sir...... I don't know what the gentleman called me here? Yang Rui lowered his head and bowed to the sky without fear.
"You don't have to be so reserved." Tian was not afraid to free up a hand and waved at Yang Rui, seeing that Yang Rui had no intention of getting up, he secretly sighed "It's not fun", and said: "I called you here, naturally to answer the questions in your heart." ”
"Sir knows...... No, no, Yang Rui doesn't have a ...... in his heart" Yang Rui was shocked at first, and then hurriedly denied it, but he didn't care about him, and directly interrupted: "I don't care if you have any questions, if you have any questions, you should listen to the puzzle, if not, you should listen to my nonsense, how about it?" ”
"How can Mr.'s words be nonsense......" Yang Rui was not confused, and he couldn't understand the meaning of Tian Wei's words, but he still needed to show some attitude.
"Well, I'll just say why the people you see today are like this...... How do you say, weird? After thinking about it for a long time, Tian Bu felt that there was only one word that could summarize everyone's behavior.
"Don't dare." Yang Rui bowed his head again.
"That's weird, isn't it?" Tian was not afraid but didn't care about Yang Rui's reaction, thought about it, and felt that if he took the form of dialogue with Yang Rui, maybe he would have to listen to his words "don't dare" and "how is Mr." repeatedly, so he simply said it himself.
"We were assassinated the night we came to the town."
"What!" Yang Rui was suddenly shocked when he heard this, and when he saw that he was not afraid, his face was not afraid of any traces of jokes, and he said in disbelief: "This ...... Impossible, right? ”
"You mean why don't you know?" Tian was not afraid to chuckle and said, "If you don't believe it, you can go to Hua Hateliu's room tomorrow after we leave......
"Did you say that you were going to leave tomorrow?" Yang Rui asked in surprise again. It's not that he's making too much of a fuss, it's just that these two consecutive sentences are too informative.
"Listen to me." Tian is not afraid to seem to be unable to stand Yang Rui's startle, and frowned slightly: "The reason why you don't know is because the target of the assassin is not you, or even the entire wing, but just a few of them, and the scope is a little smaller; After the second incident, only a few people knew, and for the sake of the stability of the team, we tried to hide the others. ”
Seeing that Yang Rui seemed to be about to ask again, Tian was not afraid to wave his hand again, and said, "Of course, it is not deliberate to hide from you, but I just don't want you to make a big move in the next two days...... It is conceivable that if we tell you about the assassination the next day, the entire township and city must have been in a mess in the past two days - Yang Jian and Hua Hate Liu consider that you have not been in charge of the township for a long time, so it is not appropriate to move on a large scale, and because we expect that there will be no next wave after this assassination for a while...... All things considered, I didn't tell you on my own. ”
"Mr. Xie and the two elders have thought about Yang Rui...... "Although Yang Rui is dissatisfied, what he said is also true, he has not yet fully mastered the power of the city and the clan, and it is indeed not appropriate to make a big move.
"Here's the weird reason for tonight!" Speaking of this, Tian was not afraid to smile and said, "Do you know the trapped dragon grass?" ”
Seeing Yang Wu's confused look, he sighed in his heart: It's really hard for you! He also said: "After the sleepy dragon grass is dried and lit, it can play a role in concentrating and reassuring, generally a small amount is used to calm the nerves, and it can also be used as an anesthetic. ”
"Could it be that the whole wing room was harmed by this trapped dragon grass that day?" Yang Rui immediately asked.
"That's right," Tian is not afraid to nod and said: "There are gluttonous eaters here today, partly because of the influence of this medicine, there is no obvious taste when the trapped dragon grass is first burned, but there is a faint smell of sulfur after burning - this is not unusual, what is even more unusual is that all the people who are trapped in the scourge of dragon grass can be dripping water without feeling hungry after waking up, until twenty-four hours later, they will fall into a state of unbearable hunger, and there will be overeating, so ......"
"I see!" Yang Rui's face was nervous when he heard this, and he thought in his heart: It turned out that it wasn't because of me......
"You just said part of it? That means ......"
"Well, there are a few more people who are pretending." Tian is not afraid to laugh.
"Outfit?" Yang Ruifu felt incredible when he heard it, but he was relieved when he thought about it. "Don't you want to embarrass your companions?"
"Well, that's comforting enough." Tian was not afraid to nod, as if he remembered something, and said: "You don't have to worry about your father's affairs, you know it over there, and you can run the township with peace of mind." ”
"Over there" naturally refers to Xizhou City. Yang Rui was most concerned about this, and when he heard that Tian Tian was not afraid to speak, he immediately couldn't help but be overjoyed, and bowed down to thank him.
"But I don't know, which of these two elders and Princess Yuqing belong to?" The ghost made the god staggered, Yang Rui asked curiously in his heart.
"This ......" Tian was not afraid to bow his head and think about it, and did not forget to bite two bites of meat, and said while chewing: "Maybe...... It's because ...... Well, it's because I'm so tired......"
Too tired? Yang Rui was surprised, isn't this the third situation?
