Chapter 228: Honesty
The city lord of the black city officially invited them, and it was not only them and the city lord himself who attended the meeting, but also the large and small forces of the black city.
In the spacious hall, there is a row of small tables on the left and right, the head is Xiongsa, the first one on the left hand is Meng Chengzhi, the young man who invited them before, the next one is Yueji, and the first one on the right hand is Cangfa and others.
No one seems to have any objections to such a ranking, and it can be seen that in Heicheng, even if many big forces contain each other, the City Lord's Mansion is the needle that sets the sea.
"At this banquet, the main medicine is to feast on Jin Ge's sellers, the only son and the only girl, and their friends." Xiongsa raised his glass to them as he spoke, and everyone raised their glasses and toasted each other.
The only needle in the cup was juice, in fact, she wanted to taste the wine here, but Cangfa replaced it on the grounds of her young age, and she was very unhappy.
Having wine and food, eating and drinking, is the easiest way to bring strangers closer to each other and ease the awkward atmosphere. After three glasses of wine, the hall is already accompanied by the aroma of vegetables, and the sound of speech is accompanied by laughter, which is very lively.
Xiongsa is not a person who likes to hold his identity, everyone in the black city seems to know his temper, as soon as he leaves his seat, everyone is like a duck in flight, they get up one after another, and talk to the person they want.
Gathering in twos and threes, it is a bit of a modern buffet-style banquet.
Duyi and others are naturally the focus of everyone, but it's a pity that they are not good at communicating. Xiongsa didn't move, and everyone could only watch from afar, and for a moment they became the quietest place in the hall.
The only needle is concentrating on stealing wine from Cangfa's hands, the greedy wolf is tinkering with a Rubik's cube in his hand, which is the only needle given to him, Xia Zili is holding his chin and eating food boringly, Chunyou is by his side, looking at everyone vigilantly.
Meng Chengzhi walked over with a wine glass under Xiongsa's signal.
"Only son, only girl, how did you rest in the City Lord's Mansion last night?"
Cangfa looked up at him, and the lone needle took a sip in his wine glass.
Smacking his lips, his face disappointed, his glass was filled with white water.
"Not bad." Duyi nodded and said, "Master Meng, I don't want to live in the City Lord's Mansion for a long time, but I don't know how to calculate the accommodation fee of the City Lord's Mansion?" ”
"Hahaha, if the only girl likes it, you can live as long as you want, and our city lord won't mind." Meng Chengzhi was only joking.
The only needle glanced at Xiongsa, and whispered with a smile, "How can I do it without accommodation fees, I don't feel at ease when I live." ”
The mouth of eating people is short, and the hands of people are soft, this truth is still understood.
With the arrival of Meng Chengzhi first, after that, there was an endless stream of people around them, and the greedy wolf was studying the Rubik's Cube, don't bother, he hid directly in the back, Xia Zili sat on the side and looked at these people without a trace.
"Jin Ge can refine such a magical elixir, the only son and the only girl are really dragons and phoenixes among people, Xiao admires and admires." Xiao Bingsheng praised with a smile.
The only needle glanced at Canghua, none of them said that the pill was refined by themselves, and I think that Yueji and Meng Chengzhi guessed it and shouldn't reveal it, so is this person blowing them up?
She likes to deal with this kind of person, it's interesting.
"Isn't it amazing? So-so. Just refine it casually, who would have thought that it would refine a new pill. The only needle waved his hand, with an indifferent attitude, but with a smug smile on his face.
Xiao Bingsheng paused for a moment, then smiled even more heartily, and coaxed her and said: "This is talent, it is easy for talented people to do anything, God doesn't appreciate food!" Xiao can't be envious even if he is envious. ”
I have to say that this fat man really loves to listen to his words, even if you know that he is coaxing you, but he can just say it pleasantly. Hypocritical natural generosity, this is talent.
Xiao Bingsheng seemed to have come to get close to them, and did not make any request to buy Jin Ge from them, but others mentioned it, but they were all rejected by Canghua.
There's no way, there really isn't any extra pill in the hand of the only needle.
Xiongsa didn't talk to them alone throughout the banquet, and occasionally came over to say hello when others chatted with them, but it was just to show his attention, and he didn't interfere too much with their wishes.
It wasn't until the banquet was over and the guests had left that Xiongsa asked when he saw them off, "I regretted that the only girl wants to live in my city lord's mansion permanently?" ”
Duyi secretly raised his eyebrows, he didn't seem to be aware of her true intentions before, but he told Xiongsa about it, and it was clear that he wanted to take her 'joke' seriously.
It's a coincidence, she also wants to sit down.
She laughed, waved her hand, and said, "Haha just kidding, how can we be cheeky to live in such a precious place as the City Lord's Mansion." ”
Xiong snorted and said, "Hey, you can't say that, I, Xiong, really want to make friends with people like Dugongzi and Dugirl." Besides, I also have selfish intentions, you live in my city lord's mansion, and I want to ask for a pill in the future, so it's better to open my mouth. ”
The rich flowing oil, not to mention that the only needle has promised to sell him ten bottles of Jin Ge, but no, if he wants it, can't he get it? In this way, he is obviously giving them face when he says this.
"The city lord has praised it falsely, we don't have any skills, we just know how to refine a pill." Duyi waved his hand, sighed and said embarrassedly, "Actually, it's not entirely a joke that I proposed to stay in the City Lord's Mansion, the main reason is that my friend is unwell and needs to find a quiet place to heal." I took Jin Ge out for auction just to buy the spirit plant for him to treat, and now that the spirit plant is there, but Jin Ge is exposed, I'm afraid we won't have a peaceful life when we go out again. ”
She sighed, frowned, and looked embarrassed.
Xiongsa raised his eyebrows, in fact, they got the news of what they had done at the auction these days, and they did spend a lot of money to buy a Wuyu orchid.
It turned out to be to heal a friend?
The elderly, the weak, women and children will always make people subconsciously relax their vigilance against each other, especially when other information assists in proving that what the other party said is partially true. This kind of vigilance will be minimized, and even Xiongsa is not as wary of the only needle and others as he was at the beginning.
"If you want to say anything else, I may not be able to help, but provide a quiet place to stay, wrap it up with my male someone!" patted his chest with a big bag, looking honest, enthusiastic, and sparse.
No one would think that Xiong Sa was really such a good talker, and he only got off the donkey downhill, "Then I really want to thank the city lord!" ”
……
Meng Chengzhi followed Xiongsa into the study, and when he saw Xiongsa rubbing the wrench between his fingers and was silent, he couldn't help but speak: "Lord City Lord, I'm afraid they seem to have other purposes for staying in the City Lord's Mansion." ”
"Oh?" Xiongsa looked back at him, "Repentance thinks they are inappropriate?" ”
Meng Chengzhi shook his head and said, "It's not inappropriate, but there is another purpose." ”
Xiongsa sat down, motioned for Meng Chengzhi to sit down as well, and asked: "What do you think their purpose is, but they have told me all the purpose, and they want to find a quiet place to heal, there are too many people outside who want to arrest them, and it is not as safe as my city lord's mansion." ”
Meng Chengzhi poured a cup of tea for Xiongsa, shook his head and said, "They came to the City Lord's Mansion as guests, and you instructed me to take the initiative to go, what if you didn't invite them?" Wu Yu Lan auctioned a sky-high price of 36 million, which was far beyond the original estimated value of Wu Yu Lan, and compared to the exceeded, Jin Ge's 550,000 top-grade Yuan Jing was not worth mentioning at all, even so they also won Wu Yu Lan steadily, and they must have been prepared. In that case, why take Jin Ge out at all? Isn't that asking for trouble? ”
"yes, that argument doesn't hold water." Xiong sa smiled and took a sip of tea, seeing that the young man he was optimistic about frowned, looking embarrassed, his heart was even happier, "Then why do you think they are?" ”
Meng Chengzhi thought for a while and shook his head, "They appeared suddenly, and our people haven't found out the origin of the other party for the time being, so they don't dare to assert it." ”
Xiongsa put down the teacup, held his hands and said, "I can say for sure." ”
Meng regret's questioning face.
"Because they didn't take Jin Ge seriously at all, that thing was a novelty for them, and they didn't expect it to be so shocked when they took it out for auction." Xiongsa smiled meaningfully, "As for their saying that Jin Ge has attracted enemies to them, it is better to say that they already have enemies. ”
"Listening to the report from the people at the auction house, they did have a conflict with the people of Xingqi yesterday." The way of repentance.
Xiongsa was surprised, "The people of Xingqi? ”
