Chapter Ninety-Three: Elders
On the stage, Wu Fusheng was talking at length about thanking relatives and friends for their help, and the villagers raised their love, Wu Mou had the words that today and Wu's talent became more and more brilliant, and talked about the future of Dangyang by the way, and said that he would help all the Hanmen monks in Dangyang and even Nanzhou to make progress together in his lifetime, and he was not stingy with the giving of resources, and Wu's door was always open to the world, and so on.
These impassioned words naturally won the trust of everyone present, even Xie Qingning was thrilled and admired very much, but at this time, she heard Xue Hongchen sitting next to her scolding "hypocrisy" in a low voice, and couldn't help but be stunned.
It seemed that from the corner of her eye, she noticed that her face was slightly stunned, and Xue Hongchen seemed to be afraid of being heard, and hurriedly smiled at her and explained, "I didn't mean you, don't misunderstand, little boy." ”
"Of course you don't mean me, you're talking about the head of the Wu family!" Xie Qingning couldn't help but slander in his heart, but he didn't expose it to his face, he just shook his head with a smile and said that it was okay, but he was quite unimpressed in his heart.
Xue Hongchen came up to her and said, "Little boy, are you here to participate in the third lady's recruitment of sons-in-law?" ”
"Me?" Xie Qingning was stunned for a moment, quite a little ridiculous.
"With the appearance of a little son, he will definitely win the favor of the head of the Wu family, especially the third lady, she must be happy." Xue Hongchen's gossipy look made Xie Qingning speechless, so he could only smile awkwardly, not daring to answer his words again.
At this time, Wu Fusheng on the stage had finished speaking, and then invited the city lord of Dangyang City to speak, that is a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears, who looks more like a rich businessman than a city lord, he is smiling like a tiger, and the words are full of praise and respect for the Wu family, and on behalf of all the guests, he congratulated the Wu family on two happy events, and by the way, I wish the third happy event: the recruitment of a son-in-law is going smoothly, and he can find a good son-in-law for the Wu family and create a higher glory in the future.
After that, the banquet officially began, Xie Qingning couldn't help but be a little disappointed, she thought that the sixth prince would take the opportunity to show his face, and he was the identity of his own prince, but he didn't expect that he had never shown up from beginning to end, and there was no trace of him at the banquet, and I didn't know what he was here for.
Xie Qingning had met with the Sixth Prince several times, and the friendship was not too deep but it was also close to her eyes, and after she learned that the Sixth Prince was the representative sent by the Ye Clan's royal family, she somehow came up with a sentence left in her mind when she left the city gate in her previous life, and the Sixth Prince personally rushed to the city gate to say goodbye, "Xie Qingning, you go quickly, maybe this is the safest for you." ”
At that time, she thought that the sixth prince was alluding to the fact that the Ye clan was secretly killing the monk, but she didn't think much about it, and when she recalled it at this time, she felt that these words seemed to have a deep meaning. In her previous life, she only had guesses about her life experience, but in this life, through the things in the broken temple and Liu Yingjie's abnormal treatment, she was almost sure that her biological father must be in the central capital, and he was in a high position, so he attracted the black-clothed man at the level of the Yuan Infant to chase and kill, and naturally she could think of the deep meaning of the words of the six princes.
"Little boy, I fell in love with you at first sight, very close, I don't know if I can make a friend?"
Xue Hongchen's voice suddenly came from beside her, pulling back Xie Qingning's thoughts, she glanced at the other party curiously, and after sensing a trace of danger in his eyes, she smiled indifferently, "We are just passing through here, and we are about to leave in a few days, I'm afraid there is no chance to get close to Brother Tai, I'm sorry." ”
"Eh, brother's words are not right, they all say that there are confidants in the sea, if the end of the world is next to each other, why do you reject people so much?"
Xie Qingning pretended to look at the banquets that were served one after another, but did not answer.
The so-called dedication to nothing is either a traitor or a thief, and she doesn't want to be used as a fool.
That Xue Hongchen is a character who can bend and stretch, and she did not give up because of her coldness, but reluctantly said, "Little boy, don't be busy refusing first, since you want to stay in Dangyang for a few days, it is naturally more convenient for someone to help." ”
"Your Excellency is right." Xie Qingning's attitude was still not salty, and Xue Hongchen couldn't, so he had no choice but to give up.
Xie Huazhao looked at Xue Hongchen, and also felt that this person's enthusiasm was a little too much, and he secretly felt a little unhappy in his heart, and Lan Yongzhi, who was sitting next to him, was even more cold-eyed, wishing that Xie Qingning would ignore him.
The banquet officially began with the sound of a cannon salute, and all the guests gathered together to mingle and stagger, and the atmosphere was very warm.
Although the daytime banquet was sumptuous, it was not the effect that Xie Qingning wanted to achieve, and after nightfall, she quietly hibernated in the alley near the Wu family's front yard, motionless, as if she was asleep.
She didn't go deep into the middle of the Wu Clan's mansion, and she was also afraid of the few terrifying breaths in the mansion, even though she had a phoenix condensation jade body, which could cover up a lot of air fluctuations, she was still worried that it would alarm the Yuanying Great Cultivator.
During this period of time, Xie Qingning remembered a lot of past events, especially the bits and pieces of his previous life when he lived in Shangjing, and suddenly looked back, and always felt that the attitude of the people of the Ye clan towards her at that time was quite subtle, she only thought that she was the leader of the Dongzhou Immortal Competition, so they looked at each other differently, and now that she thinks about it, Qu Mulin, the leader of Nanzhou, and Ye Feng, the leader of Xizhou, did not get her such treatment, and she couldn't help but be more puzzled.
Because of the year-round ice and snow in the Beizhou area, almost all of them are thousand-year-old glaciers after the Lingshan Mountain Range that runs through the continents has passed, so it is very difficult to survive in the land of poor mountains and bad waters.
But Xie Qingning knew that in such a harsh environment, it was easy to breed different kinds of martial artists, they were born with natural cultivation, relying on the long-term struggle with demon beasts to improve their true qi and ontological strength, although there were no spells and spiritual power available, but they also had the strength and savagery that monks were afraid of.
The most famous killer organization in Shangjing, "Liuxiang Pavilion", has recruited countless Beizhou warriors, and the price of killing is also ridiculously high, but both strength and execution are only a handful, and it is also famous, and it is favored by royal or wealthy families.
Just when Xie Qingning was distracted, the east door of the Wu family's courtyard suddenly opened silently, and a black carriage quietly came out without making a sound.
Xie Qingning looked closely, the hooves and palms of the carriage were wrapped in rags, no wonder they didn't make any sound.
At this time, the moon was in the middle of the sky, and it was midnight, and this carriage acted sneakily, so naturally it did not have any good intentions. Xie Qingning thought so in his heart, and followed silently like a night cat.
Xie Qingning's posture was light, and the speed of shuttling in the dark night was fast, at first glance, only a black afterimage flashed away, and he couldn't see the description clearly.
However, the carriage in front of it was not too fast, as if it was shopping, and it seemed to be slipping around, obviously there was a curfew in Dangyang City, and no one stopped him all the way.
Xie Qingning silently followed not far behind the car, and found that the trajectory of the carriage happened to be not on the same route as the guards patrolling the city, obviously planned in advance, such a trick made her more and more suspicious, I don't know what the hell the people in the carriage are doing, what they want.
