There are only a few corridors between the kitchen and the side hall, but there seems to be an invisible chasm in between, turning the two places into two completely different worlds.

A man in his early twenties was stepping on a tattered wooden table, his hands gripping the wall and looking out, from his vantage point of view, he couldn't see anything but the roof, but as long as he could feel the luxury, he was satisfied.

"Xiaohu, come down and work, I have to clean you up when the steward sees you!"

The head chef was holding a clay pot, and when he saw the man, he immediately scolded.

Xiao Hu pursed his lips regretfully, climbed down from the wall, and laughed again the moment he saw the old master.

"Master, did you say that there are really all nobles over there?"

The master glanced at him angrily and said: "Nonsense, today is the head of the family who is picking up the wind for Lord Qincha, and the people inside are naturally unspeakably expensive." ”

"Catch the wind......"

Xiao Hu said thoughtfully: "So the most expensive nobleman in it is Lord Qincha, what is Qincha?" ”

The master shook his head: "Who knows, anyway, it is a big official from the capital who drove away Lord Cui's family, which is not only unspeakably expensive, but also powerful, and our family in Xichuan is all tied to him." ”

"He's so powerful......"

Xiao Hu sighed, and couldn't help but look back at the side hall, but as far as he could see, there was only a mottled high wall.

When he turned around, the master had already walked a few steps away with the clay pot, and Xiao Hu hurriedly chased after him and asked excitedly: "Master, did you say that one day I can also be a messenger?" ”

The master glanced at him with disdain and said: "Don't dream, the best destination in your life is to mix here to have food and clothing, but just like you, I am afraid that in a few months I am afraid that you will be swept away, and then you will be a homeless person!" ”

Xiao Hu smiled wryly, scratched the back of his head and said, "Master, don't say that, I won't be lazy in the future, it's really hard to have no food." ”

The master sighed and said, "If you know that it's hard outside, work hard, don't think about those messy things all day long!" ”

Xiao Hu nodded again and again, and the master finally showed a satisfied smile and turned to leave.

Looking at the master's back, Xiao Hu couldn't help but look at the side hall.

"What kind of prince will Xiangning? One day, I want to become a nobleman, work hard!! ”

The corners of Xiaohu's mouth hooked up a sunny smile, and he went to work.

There are ten large tables in the main hall of the banquet, which is naturally the largest in the middle, which can accommodate at least twenty people to eat and sit widely, and a large space is left on the side of the table.

The table in the middle is naturally the protagonist of tonight, the seat of Lord Xu Rui, and counting down Xu Rui's seat, the closer the seat, the higher the status, all the heads of the family are strictly sorted according to their status, and even a chopstick cannot be trespassed.

If you want to ask what the criteria for sorting are, of course, there is only one criterion, that is, the strength and popularity of each family, Xichuan is in turmoil, the four major families have declined, and the huge power vacuum will naturally be quickly filled by others and a new order will be established.

This is like a feast of robbers, the four major families lose their deer, whoever grabs it counts, getting rich overnight is not a dream, Zhang Youlin is the representative of these upstarts.

But everyone knows that the current order is only temporary, whether the first comer can keep the interests that have been grabbed, and whether the laggard can turn over, it all depends on tonight's banquet, so as long as he can get close to Xu Rui for half a minute, even if it is just a seat, it will also make the wealthy families in Xichuan fight for their heads.

Xu Rui was resting in the side hall, and everyone was waiting in the main hall, not daring to show the slightest impatience, but in fact, everyone had already begun to be anxious in their hearts, and they couldn't wait anymore.

Just when his anxious mood was about to reach its peak, Xu Rui finally appeared with the afterglow of the sunset.

"Lord Chin has arrived!"

With a high-pitched roll call, Xu Rui walked into the main hall surrounded by a group of Apocalypse Guards, and the experience of war in the past few months has given birth to an indescribable momentum in these young people.

Although the people who attended the dinner were all staff officers except Xu Rui, and they were also wearing dresses that were mainly good-looking, as soon as they appeared, it seemed that there was a killing aura accompanying them, which made people shudder.

The heads of the family hurriedly stood up to greet Qincha, and Xu Rui greeted everyone with a smile, and the scene suddenly became warm.

But at this moment, everyone suddenly found that in addition to the generals of the Apocalypse Guard, there were two more people accompanying Xu Rui.

Wang Minghao and Wang Qingyi followed behind Xu Rui left and right, looking even closer to Xu Rui than the people of the Apocalypse.

Especially the beautiful and holy Wang Qingyi, wearing a red dress like a peony blooming, her beautiful face and noble temperament are like a fairy descending to earth, and she attracted countless stunned eyes as soon as she appeared.

People who had never seen her asked left and right about her origin, and those who had seen her were shocked that her appearance was several times more than before, because when she stood beside Xu Rui, almost everyone immediately had a sense of absurdity that the sun and the moon were shining and complementing each other.

Only the heads of the family in the front row seemed to be unsurprised by her appearance, and noticed that Wang Qingyi was very different from the past.

In the past, no matter what the occasion, this palm pearl held in the palm of the Wang family was the absolute center, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the princess of Xichuan.

But today, she just stood silently behind Xu Rui, retracting most of the light, like an accompanying maidservant, if she wasn't born too beautiful, she might not be eye-catching.

"My lord, as expected, the Wang family has sacrificed this killer feature again."

Beside Zhang Youlin, several family heads who were good friends with him whispered, their voices unusually solemn.

If Zhang Youlin represents the new upstart in Xichuan, then the Wang family is an old wealthy family, and the two are naturally opposed, and the more favored the Wang family is, the more unfavorable it will be to them.

Zhang Youlin looked at Wang Qingyi and Wang Minghao, his eyes fell on Xu Rui again, a sneer hooked up at the corner of his mouth, and said lightly: "It may not be a good thing for the Wang family to be raised so high, for a while, you all try to talk as little as possible, and act according to my eyes." ”

Several heads of the family nodded one after another, but they still couldn't hide their worries.

"Although Lord Xu is wise and martial, he happens to be the age of blood and strength, and the hero is sad to pass the beauty pass."

This sentence seemed to speak the hearts of most people, and everyone nodded when they heard it.

Zhang Youlin said lightly: "You guys, you all underestimate this young man, for him, the Wang family is not worth mentioning at all." ”

"Oh?"

Everyone was stunned, not knowing why Zhang Youlin was so confident in Xu Rui.

"My lord, is there anything else to say about this?"

Zhang Youlin waved his hand, smiled without saying a word, and just as Xu Rui was about to walk to the main table, Zhang Youlin hurriedly led everyone forward to greet him.

After a simple greeting, the guest and the host each entered their respective positions, although Xu Rui was a guest, but his status was the highest, so he naturally sat in the main seat alone.

However, when he sat down, Xu Rui knocked everyone again, and he actually asked Wang Qingyi and Wang Minghao to sit on his left and right, and there was no doubt.

Originally, it was where the two most powerful heads of the wealthy families sit, and for these two positions, they not only paid a great price, but also took a lot of favors, and even squeezed Zhang Youlin down, but now Xu Rui drove them out of the main table with a word.

Wang Minghao was ecstatic, Wang Qingyi seemed to be calm, except for them, almost all the heads of the family immediately had a sense of crisis.

In fact, this dinner party is a spoils sharing conference, and most of the cakes are originally owned by the interests of the four major families, and it is not beneficial for anyone for the Wang family to suddenly get so close to Qincha.

Xu Rui saw everyone's reaction in his eyes and nodded with satisfaction.

"The show is about to start......"

He sighed playfully in his heart, and walked to his main seat with the attitude of watching a good show.
