Chapter Forty-Eight: The Night Banquet

Qian Ming was sitting in the car, with rhubarb next to him.

This is a spacious Upeng carriage, the body has some talismans and simple formations, and the driving is very smooth and fast.

At first, he was still a little curious about the scenery of other places, and from time to time he lifted the curtain to see, outside was green farmland, not too wide official roads, nameless hills, and then he was a little tired, so he meditated in the car.

This went on for eight hours, when the carriage suddenly stopped, and someone beckoned to get out of the carriage and rest.

Qian Ming lifted the curtain and got out of the car, only to see that it was dark outside, and dozens of cars were neatly parked on a flat grassland, this was the Ning family's convoy.

Qian Ming and Rhubarb looked around after getting out of the car.

"Why is there a dog here?"

Several young men and women came, and one of them was surprised to find rhubarb and wanted to touch the head of the little pet.

Rhubarb was furious, and the girl quickly withdrew her hand.

"This is a large dog, Ayuan should be safe!" a young man hurriedly said.

Suddenly, Qian Ming and Rhubarb were depressed together, this is a demon beast, okay, why don't you have any eyesight?

"You're the owner of the dog, right? What's its name?" asked the girl named Ayuan.

She is white and clean, and she is quite beautiful.

"Rhubarb. ”

The girl began to tease the dog.

"Hello rhubarb, rhubarb is called one!"

Rhubarb ignored the girl, was so angry that he bit Qian Ming, and was angry that he signed up at will!

A few people laughed, and the young man said, "Ayuan, let's go, don't tease the dog!"

"There's nothing fun about this country dog. A pimple face on the side also said.

"Brother Long, you go first, I'll play with Rhubarb for a while!" Ayuan said.

The convoy has been walking for more than ten days from the Northland, and it is boring along the way, and it is rare to meet such a pet!

Brother Long shook his head and left first, anyway, this is the location of the Ning family's camp, and there is no danger.

Qian Ming was annoyed that Rhubarb was rude, and almost pounced on himself, but he didn't stop it, so the girl teased the dog.

That Ayuan was really energetic, and took out all kinds of snacks on her body, which made Rhubarb's originally solemn look turn into drooling.

"Come, come, come and wag your tail and give one!"

"Here, get rolled, give a double portion!"

"Come, call one, this girl has a reward!"

Fortunately, after Rhubarb was promoted, his willpower strengthened greatly, and he finally resisted his own temptation and did not do anything embarrassing.

Ah Yuan was a little excited, and turned to Qian Ming and said, "Are you also going to Nanzhou City?"

There are hundreds of people in this car, except for the people of the Ning family, there are many people who take a ride to Nanzhou City, after all, the road is far away, and it is not very stable along the way.

Qian Ming said: "Yes. ”

Qingsong Daoren didn't tell the host of the Ning family about his going to Nanzhou Academy for testing, but only said that he was sent to Nanzhou City to find relatives and friends, and the matter of Nanzhou Academy's test was too sensitive, and he was afraid that he would be calculated by someone with a heart on the road alone.

Ayuan nodded: "Well, as long as you listen to the command of the third uncle, it's fine!"

The people of the Ning family got together, and there were two or three people who took a ride, and there were also people who were alone like Qian Ming.

Qian Ming looked at the scenery and night in a different place for a while, and when he was lonely in his heart, a person who looked like a housekeeper came to call.

"Qian Xiaodaoyou, is it? My third uncle has invited you to dinner!"

Qian Ming was a little surprised, generally individual guests solve their own meals, and specially invite themselves to eat, and the Ning family should be looking at the face of Mingyueguan.

The Ning family's convoy camped on a flat ground, and five tables of banquets were set up in the big tent, with a main table in the middle and an auxiliary table in each of the four corners.

Before the main table arrived, Qian Ming was arranged to a secondary table.

This is also normal, Mingyueguan is not well-known in the north, Qian Ming is young, and he looks like a small rural turtle in his outfit, which is really inconspicuous.

When he came out this time, it was vulgar, and the clothes were not Taoist clothes, and there were no suitable clothes for a while, so the Qingsong Dao people asked the nearby villagers for a homespun cloth, which looked really rustic.

It's a coincidence, I met those people at this table just now, and these people were surprised to see him come in.

"You're here too?" Before he could sit down, the young man named Brother Long wondered.

"Sit there, sit there!" shouted the acne kid on the other side, pointing to the other.

This is to dislike him, tell him to sit far away, the big families are all tyrants in the place, and his children are not experienced in the world, they are used to being arrogant, and they are not polite to speak. Qian Ming shook his head slightly, this is not a big deal, so he plans to sit down on the other side.

"Come here, come here, sit next to me!" Ayuan said as she got up and grabbed him.

"Ayuan, you keep teasing him, be careful that this dirt boy really left with you!"

"Get out! don't talk nonsense!" Ayuan said.

Ayuan turned her head to Qian Ming and said, "Ignore them, why didn't your dog come?"

Qian Ming said secretly, of course Rhubarb wants to come, he did a long day of ideological work just now, and gave some benefits, so that he was willing to wait in the dark outside the tent.

Brother Long frowned, and said unhappily: "This trip to Nanzhou Academy to test the big thing, I don't know what the third uncle thinks, let so many hitchhikers come!"

A gloomy young man on the side said: "I'm afraid the road is not smooth, it's always good to have more people!"

Brother Long snorted and said, "With the strength of my Ning family, where do you need the help of these messy people!"

Acne nodded again and again: "That's, that's, Brother Long is a well-known figure in Juchen, where do you need these outsiders!"

Qian Ming raised his eyes and looked at it, this Dragon Brother Yuanqi was in the late stage, far worse than the True Yin realm of Shangguan Ding, Murong Yue and others, where could he talk about the number of young people in Juchen?

Ayuan said in a low voice: "Brother Long is the second person in the younger generation of my clan, and he is also the boss of our clan. Don't offend him, it's fine!"

Qian Ming smiled: "How dare I?"

Ayuan pulled a shy young man on the other side of her and said, "This is my brother Ning Bin, it's okay for you to talk more." ”

Qian Ming hurriedly nodded, and the kid blushed and nodded again and again.

This girl is frank and has no scheming, from some of her words, Qian Ming learned that the two major branches of the Ning family respectively recommended two people to participate in the test of Nanzhou Academy, this Ning Conglong, and Ning Yuan and all the people present except Qian Ming are in the same vein, if he is successfully selected into Nanzhou Academy, they can gain a firm foothold in Nanzhou, otherwise it is unimaginable.

Ning Conglong and the others didn't take Qian Ming seriously, they talked about whatever they had to talk about, but Ning Yuan's sister and brother talked to him, and Qian Ming was also happy.

"Coming, coming!" said the gloomy young man.

His name was Ning Yu, and he was Ning Yuan's cousin, and he was looking at the young man at the door.

I am afraid that this person at the door is the tallest in the Ning family, and his appearance is also the best in the later stage of Yuan Qi, but he has opened nine orifices, and Ning Conglong has opened eight orifices.

"He is Ning Changyuan, the first person of the young generation of my Ning family!"

Ning Changyuan came in and glanced at this side, and then led a group of people to sit down on the opposite side.

Ning Yuan said: "He is a branch of Zubo, and there are all over there." ”

Qian Ming said: "Isn't that also the Ning family?"

Ning Yuan shook his head and said: "That's what I said, but this also determines the distribution of family resources, if Brother Long misses, and Ning Changyuan succeeds, more than ninety percent of the family's resources will go to Uncle Zu's branch, and the remaining one percent of the resources will be difficult to feed us, so we can only go to another country to wander and make another way to make a living!"

Qian Ming said: "It's not a brother, it's an opponent?"

Ning Yuan said with a complicated expression: "In a way, it is indeed an opponent. ”

Qian Ming said: "I see that in addition to Ning Changyuan, the thin man next to him also has opened the Eight Yuan Aperture, not much worse than Ning Conglong?"

Ning Yuan shook his head and said, "We all know that Ning Zexi only opened the Seven Yuan Technique, don't talk nonsense!"

"Newly opened. ”

"How can you tell?"

When she mentioned this question, Qian Ming himself was stunned, and he couldn't directly say that his spiritual sense was stronger than them.

Ning Yuan saw that he was silent, so he said: "You don't have to be too nervous here, it's okay, as long as you don't talk nonsense, there will be no trouble." ”

After a while, four black-robed people appeared at the door, silent in the tent, and the first one of them had a square face and thick eyebrows, looking like he was in his fifties, and his breath was the strongest. This person Qian Ming knows, the general person in charge of this trip, the third uncle of the Ning family, Ning Tongyuan, when he entered the team, the Qingsong Dao people took him to visit the third uncle of the Ning family.

The three people behind Ning Tongyuan are also about fifty, one has a scorched complexion, one is taller, and the other is sturdy, Ning Tongyuan walked straight to the main table and took a look, frowned slightly, and whispered a few words to the tall black-robed man.

Ning Yuan said in a low voice: "That's Ninth Uncle Ning Tongzhou, in charge of the daily affairs of the team!"

Qian Ming nodded.

Then Ning Tongzhou began to invite some famous guests in the car to sit at the main table, five or six people, Qian Ming only heard of one or two of them.

One is called Li Dazhong, the boy was abandoned in the barren mountains and wilderness, was raised by a wild wolf, his habits are like a wolf, his body is like a wolf, and he has a chance to learn the secret method of martial arts, and his martial arts attainments are quite profound, and later returned to the human community, and he changed to believe in Confucianism, and regarded himself as a disciple of Confucianism every day, which made a great story of Confucianism, and was widely publicized by Confucianism.

Li Dazhong grew up bumpy, believed in Confucianism, and had a very high moral character, that is, he never told lies, which was welcomed by all kinds of people.

There is also a man named Wu Tian, a tower-like man.

This black demon Wu Tian is active in the Central Plains, famous for the black evil palm, legend has it that the martial arts have entered the hall all the way, and he is quite famous in the black and white of the rivers and lakes.

This is a character who is inseparable from good and evil, and has dealings with the government and the underworld.

These people were far away from him, and he was not interested, and he was bored.

Ning Tongzhou suddenly said: "Please Mingyue Guan Qian Ming Daoyou!"

Ning Conglong, Ning Yuan, and others were also very surprised, is this boy from a big place? Mingyueguan is very good? Mingyueguan is not very famous in the north.

He was not surprised, this was all the treatment that Qingsong Lao Dao paid for.

A hint of discoloration flashed on Li Dazhong and Wu Tian's faces, and they also pay attention to their status when they invite guests to dinner, if there is no reason, this little-known junior and they are not in line with the etiquette of drinking at the same table.

Ning Tongyuan said with a smile: "You live in the Northland, you may not be familiar with the Bright Moon View, but you should have heard of Hong Shenhai Old Man Hong!"

Li Dazhong's expression moved, and he said, "Is it the old man Hong Shenhai Hong, who is known as Moyun Hand on the Tao?"

"Exactly!"

Li Dazhong smiled and said: "Oh, it turned out to be the descendant of Lord Hongguan, disrespectful, disrespectful!"

Wu Tian laughed and said: "Who am I, the disciple and grandson of Old Man Hong, fortunately, fortunately!"

Yu Shang and Xue Jiao also clasped their fists and smiled and saluted.

Qian Ming said respectfully: "Don't dare, don't dare, please give more guidance to the teachers!"

It seems that Lord Hong Guan has done a lot of great things in the outside world!

Ning Tongyuan said again: "Chang Yuan, Conglong, Jersey, the three of you also come over to accompany the guests!"

For the first time, Ning Zexi was tied with the other two, which implied that Ning Zexi's status had been improved, and the Ning family's expressions were different, and Ning Yuan's sisters and brothers glanced at Qian Ming in surprise, could it be that what this little Taoist priest said was true?

The Ning family gave enough face to Mingyue Guanhong and Shenhai, and when the etiquette arrived, they didn't say much to a child, but only asked him not to eat more vegetables from time to time.

Ning Changyuan, Ning Conglong and Ning Zexi are very contradictory to each other, and they don't talk much. Only Ning Tongyuan and others at the table talked to Li Dazhong about some things on the journey, probably there was a gang of robbers named Yiswarm Bee in the mountains ahead, who happened to be known to Wu Tian, and said that Wu Tian would help clear the pass and so on.

After sending off the guests with a full meal and wine, Ning Tongyuan told Ning Tongzhou a few words, and Ning Tongzhou said: "The children of the Ning family come with me!"

looked at Qian Ming again and said, "Qian Xian's nephew, please come over too!"

Ning Tongzhou said with a smile: "Virtuous nephew, my Ning family has some cultivation elixirs, and the third brother has a special explanation, I have a share with you!"
