Chapter Ninety-One, The Banquet
At noon, the sun gradually became hot, but the front of the Wu Mansion, which covers an area of thousands of hectares, was still full of traffic and crowds, and the enthusiasm of the banquet was not discouraged by the weather.
Between the long dragons, an inconspicuous black carriage was also blocked in it, Xie Huazhao, who was sitting in the car, looked at Xie Qingning, who was dressed as a man on the left, and couldn't help but look at Lan Yongzhi sitting opposite.
The friends and sisters he cares about the most are not only better looking than him, but also more advanced in cultivation than him, how can he live? He couldn't help but sigh sadly.
Xie Qingning didn't have time to pay attention to his emotions, but paid full attention to the movements around him. Although she didn't lift the window, she secretly extended her spiritual sense to a range of 100 miles, but she was very careful not to disturb the high-ranking monks and cause unnecessary trouble.
But obviously, there were not too many high-level monks who came to the banquet today, and the highest cultivation was only above Jiedan, but when her spiritual sense turned to the Wu family's mansion, the deeper she explored, the more she could feel several huge breaths enveloping her surroundings, so that her spiritual sense retreated as soon as she touched it, so as not to startle the snake.
She insisted on going to the Wu Mansion today, first, to see who the representatives sent by the Ye Clan's royal family were, and whether there was a way to understand what their purpose was; Second, I also want to see what the strength of Nanzhou is.
The more grand the occasion like this, the easier it is for outsiders to learn more information, and it also provides very good convenience for their tasks.
The long queue slowly moved forward, and finally it was their turn to the carriage, and the little guy who had been waiting outside the house hurriedly stepped forward to lead the horse, and led the little guy who was driving the car to take the carriage from the side door into the backyard for placement, and Xie Qingning and the three of them were dressed extraordinarily, and their appearance and temperament were outstanding, so naturally the people who welcomed the guests did not dare to despise them, and hurriedly stepped forward to receive a generous gift money, and did not ask them if they had any invitations and invited them directly into the mansion.
It's just a banquet, the Wu family opens the door to welcome guests from all over the world, and naturally they will not be stingy enough to check the origin of the guests, and even if some people with different intentions enter the mansion, there is the glittering Yuan Infant Grand Monk of the Wu family to protect it, who would dare to make a mistake easily? Unless they are not afraid of being hunted down and killed by the entire Wu clan!
Therefore, Xie Qingning and the three of them easily entered the mansion and shuttled through the flow of people coming and going.
No one around knew them, and naturally no one came to talk, the three of them were happy, and they randomly chose a place to sit next to the banquet in the corner, and pretended to talk in a whisper, but in fact, they were all listening with their ears up, collecting gossip around them, so as to grasp the relevant information of Dangyang City or Nanzhou.
Xie Qingning's spiritual sense is more than a star and a half stronger than Xie Huazhao and Lan Yongzhi, so she can listen farther and deeper, she pretends to drink tea while lowering her eyebrows, and quickly sifting the words in her ears in her mind, leaving useful information and deleting boring gossip.
Suddenly, she heard the words "Yeshi" mixed in the conversation messages of the two women, and although their voices were extremely low, she still caught the words in her ears.
The two maids are obviously the girls specially arranged by the Wu Mansion to serve the guests of the Ye Clan, and their status in the mansion should not be low, but the guests are unusually cold to them, if they are just not close to women, but he lingers in the fireworks places in the city every night, and every time he comes back, he is full of wine and fragrant powder, which inevitably makes these two maids unwilling.
"Sister Yunzhi, aren't the two of us as good as the prostitutes/girls in the Qinglou? This night boy is too much of a bully. The woman's tone was angry, obviously difficult to understand.
The maid named Yunzhi hurriedly persuaded, "Begonia, don't talk nonsense, he is a noble man in the capital, and he has read countless women in his life, he must have been too strictly guarded in Kyoto, and he couldn't experience those days of wine and fragrance. ”
Xie Qingning nodded secretly when he heard this, thinking that this maid named Yunzhi was very knowledgeable and sensible.
But the other maids were still unwilling to say, "We are the daughters of a good family, the eldest young master's intention of arranging us to serve the night boy is self-evident, if he refuses to accept us, won't the sisters in the house laugh at us to death, will we live in the future?" ”
Hearing this, Yunzhi also fell silent, presumably agreeing with her words, but there was no way to change this reality, and she couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.
Xie Qingning raised his hand and poured himself a cup of hot tea, and the teapot on the table contained the freshly brewed Biluochun, which was not bad in condition, and it was fragrant and clear when it was drunk.
"Seventh sister, have you heard of any big families that cultivate immortals in Nanzhou?" Xie Huazhao, who listened to it for a long time and didn't hear any useful clues, couldn't help but be a little excited, and the cow drank and poured a sip of tea before coming over to chat.
Xie Qingning thought for a moment before saying, "The three major immortal cities in Nanzhou are Yueyang City, Prayer Wind City, and Dangyang City. Among the three immortal cities, there are the most immortal cultivators in Yueyang City, and the top three big families are all living in Yueyang City, namely the Qu family, the Han family and the Jin family. In the back row are the Fan family of Prayer Wind City, the Le family and the Wu family of Dangyang City. After that, there are the Guo clan of Dangyang City and the Qi clan and Teng clan of Yueyang. ”
Hearing that she counted carefully, none of them fell, and the family was not bad, Xie Huazhao and Lan Yongzhi were a little surprised, and their eyes widened and looked at her like a monster.
Of course, Xie Qingning was able to come to this conclusion, it was impossible to rely on the gossip he had overheard today, as well as the information he had obtained from participating in the Immortal Contest in Zhongdu in his previous life and often lingering among the members of the nobles, and he had only made the above conclusion after synthesizing, but he still shocked the two companions.
After all, the five continents are too big, and they don't even know the Dongzhou they live in very detail, let alone the other continents? Especially in the richest and most beautiful part of the southern continent, the monks are like stars, far from being comparable to the eastern continent.
"You...... How do you know? Xie Huazhao swallowed his saliva and asked with curiosity in his eyes.
"Overheard." Xie Qingning realized something after speaking, and laughed dryly twice.
"Eavesdropping can come up with such accurate information?" Xie Huazhao said that he didn't believe it, after all, it took him a long time to figure out the situation in Dangyang City, how could the seventh sister sitting next to him also figure out the information about Yueyang City and Qifeng City? She's still not human, is she? Is she clairvoyant or downwind ear?
Xie Qingning was really hard to explain this matter, so he could only deliberately change the topic and said, "If the disciple of the Ye clan royal family who came from Kyoto is not bad, it should be the sixth son of the current saint, Ye Hanfei, this person is romantic, and has no intention of being in the opposition, the most idle character, but because of his mother's humble position, he has been raised in the queen mother's palace since he was a child, so he is deeply favored by the emperor, and he is also a legend." Instead, I was thinking, did the Holy Lord send him to be Yang just to make a long face for the Wu family and act as a witness for the third lady's son-in-law? ”
