Section 11 The Night Feast

After sending Ling Tianfang away, Wu Feng's heart was indescribably happy, thousands of troops were easy to get, and it was difficult to find a general. It is said that people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, once a person is famous, it will inevitably cause suspicion and jealousy of others, and it will add a lot of trouble and resistance to this, Wu Feng has always thought so, try to keep a low profile in the world, I didn't expect that my fame can also bring such benefits, and it is worth it to attract outstanding people like Ling Tianfang to work, even if it costs something. It seems that everything is contradictory, there are advantages and disadvantages, and it is just a matter of weighing and choosing -

Wu Feng glanced at the invitation card on the desk, which was an invitation post from the eldest prince Situ Tai, inviting Wu Feng to the prestigious Fengyue place in Yanjing East District - Pinhualou for a banquet. Wu Feng has also heard of this Pinhuaju, as early as when he was still in the third division of the City Guard Corps, Wu Feng heard his colleagues talk about this place, but it is said that this place is not only expensive, but also not everyone can go, there are certain restrictions on the identity of the guests, and those who come here must abide by the rules here, full of mystery, it is conceivable that its backstage boss is definitely not very human-

With four guards, Wufeng took the carriage prepared by the post house and set off towards Liujin Street in Yanjing East District. Liujin Street is located in the very center of Yanjing East District, just from the name you can imagine the prosperous scene there, at night, here is a busy traffic, the lights are bright, any normal man to come here even if only stop on the street, there will be a slight drunkenness. This is the most concentrated area of Fengyue places, Rouge in the North, beauties in the south of the Yangtze River, beauties in the Western Regions, you can see them everywhere here, as long as you can afford the price, the beauties of all nationalities in all parts of the continent can choose here -

After passing through several streets, the carriage turned into Liujin Street, and by this time the sky had already darkened, and the whole street was hung with all kinds of lanterns, which decorated the street with all kinds of lights and beauty. Although Wu Feng is from Yanjing, he has never been to these places, not because he doesn't want to come, but because he can't afford to come, maybe his salary for a year is not enough for a night of chic. But today is different, there is a big prince to treat, just let go of your hands and feet and enjoy yourself, don't think about anything else, thinking of this, Wu Feng, who was sitting in the carriage, couldn't help laughing-

The four guards who were following on horseback heard their boss laughing strangely in the carriage alone, and for fear that something would go wrong, they hurriedly knocked on the carriage, "My lord, do you have any orders?"

Wu Feng also found that he was a little out of shape, but fortunately there was no one next to him, so he quickly replied: "It's nothing, where are you now?"

"Lord Hui, I have arrived at Liujin Street. ”――

Wu Feng lifted part of the curtain, and he was also surprised by the bustling level of the street. Buildings of various styles are lined up on both sides of the street, and each one is more luxurious than the other, and the layout is more extravagant than the other, which is amazing. The coachman obviously came to these places often, and he was very familiar with parking the carriage in front of a gate that did not look much more unusual than the surrounding buildings, and all kinds of luxury carriages were parked in front of the gate, judging from the marks of the carriages, they were all high-level nobles and even royals in Yanjing, and there were almost no ordinary official carriages of this kind that Wu Feng rode in.

Wu Feng stepped out of the stopped carriage, and the four guards also turned over and dismounted. There are three big characters above the gate - Pinhualou, Wu Feng knows at a glance that these words are the famous calligrapher Wang Fu of the dynasty, it can be said that the words are not false at all. Wang Fuzhi is the most famous calligrapher of this dynasty, when he was young, he was famous for splashing ink after a drunkenness, known as "the first pen in the north", the calligraphy made is heroic and unrestrained in the hidden heavy momentum, is the leader of the calligraphy industry in the north of this dynasty, as early as 20 years ago, he has closed the pen at home, closed the door. Even if the princes and nobles want to ask for a true handiwork, it is difficult to go to the sky, and there are only a handful of his genuine works that can be seen in the world, because he is consciously satisfied with not many works in his life, and even fewer are circulated outside.

A middle-aged man who was standing under the door number and looked like a very decent housekeeper saw Wu Feng get out of the car and carefully looked at the big plaque above the gate, and knew that it was not a layman, although Wu Feng was dressed very casually, but people like them had long been accustomed to seeing guests coming and going, and knew that guests who came to these places could not be judged by their appearance, so they hurriedly greeted them.

"This gentleman, but you are here to rest?"

Wu Feng nodded, "Yes, this is it." ”――

"I don't know if Mr. has a VIP card?"

"No, what VIP card?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. may not know our rules here, our guests here all have to apply for cards, and they are not completely external. If the gentleman is not too troublesome, you can come to our reception room, and we can quickly get a VIP card for the gentleman. "The middle-aged butler is quite polite-

"Oh, what are the procedures for applying for a VIP card?"

"All you need is the gentleman to provide the necessary identification, and if it meets our conditions, it can be done right away. "The middle-aged housekeeper is very skillful in speaking, and he only said that if he meets the conditions, he can do it immediately, and as for those who don't meet their conditions, leave it to you to consider.

Wu Feng was a little annoyed, thinking that he could be chic for free, but he would encounter such trouble, "But someone has already asked me to come here?"

When the middle-aged housekeeper heard that someone had made an appointment, he quickly apologized: "Oh, I'm sorry, I don't know who made an appointment with you?"

"It's Your Highness. "The innocent answer-

"Oh, I'm so sorry, but you're Lord Li, and Your Highness is already waiting for you inside. Your VIP card, Your Highness has already done it for you. The middle-aged butler apologized again and again, he had already greeted him inside, but he didn't expect that the distinguished guest invited by the great prince of the empire would be a young man dressed so casually.

"Oh, I thought they hadn't arrived yet, Your Highness. Wu Feng breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't bring a penny, if His Highness didn't come, he would have to make a fool of himself in public. "Then we can go in. ”

"Please, Your Highness, they are among the clouds and water. I'll show you the way. "The middle-aged housekeeper is very attentive.

Wufeng is not humble, and enters with his head held high. The whole Pinhua Building covers a considerable area, and in this area where every inch of land is valuable, you can also imagine how much money it took to build this Pinhua Building. Along the way, the small bridge courtyard, the winding corridor, sometimes or some rockery streams in the middle, ancient trees and bamboos, under the reflection of the lanterns with unique shapes, it is more like a fairyland on earth. Wu Feng couldn't help but sigh that the owner of Pinhuaju didn't know which architectural designer he invited to build for him, which can be called a masterpiece in the Yanjing architectural industry.

After bypassing a few small courtyards, Wu Feng was taken to the edge of a pond, the pond area was large, and a sky corridor led to a complex of buildings in the pond, "Your Highness, they are already waiting for you inside." The middle-aged housekeeper looked at Wu Feng respectfully.

"Alright then, you lead the way, and you can arrange it for my brothers. Wu Feng also knew that he would definitely be the only one who went in again, so he generously asked them to arrange it, believing that at this time, there would be no problem with his safety. Several guards tried to dissuade them, but they were all stopped by Wu Feng with a wave of his hand.

"Master Li is here, come, please come inside, His Highness is already inside. "Wu Feng just stepped into the courtyard gate. A burly man inside greeted him and greeted Wu Feng very warmly.

"Oh, it's Mistress Frey, I'm sorry you're here early, I'm still here for the first time, I'm not familiar with it, and I've been waiting for a while. Wu Feng recognized at a glance that the big man who greeted him was Count Frey, the deputy commander of the Imperial Praetorian Guard, and it seemed that his relationship with His Highness was also extraordinary.

"Where, where, I accompanied His Highness They have just arrived, and our two brothers don't see each other like this, anyway, you are also out of our guard system, and we will be closer and closer in the future." Let's go, let's go and sit down. Frey affectionately pulled Wu Feng and walked inside.

As soon as he stepped into the hall, a warm breath came to his face, and a maid had already stepped forward to untie Wufeng's wide clothes and take off the criticism outside, Wufeng saw His Royal Highness Situ Tai was sitting at the top and looking at himself with a smile, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, Situ Tai was also very polite to help Wufeng, and then each took his place.

In addition to Earl Frey, there were two other people in the hall, Wu Feng didn't know each other, Situ Tai saw Wu Feng's expression and knew that Wu Feng didn't know the two, and introduced Wu Feng with a smile: "Wu Feng, you may not know these two, this one is Lord Xue Baiying, the director of the Yanjing Police Department, and this one is Mr. Fu Jian, the head of our largest martial arts sect in Yanjing." ”

Wu Feng hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and the two of them also returned the salute very politely, and after some cold noise, the five of them sat down at the table. While Wu Feng sat on the seat, he was also thinking rapidly in his mind, Xue Baiying is the director of the Yanjing Police Department, he has already heard of it, this person is quite sophisticated and sleek, he has been sitting firmly in the position of the director of the Yanjing Police Department for ten years, and I have never heard of him having any special relationship with Situ Tai. As for the origin of this Fu Jian, it is even more strange, the Luoyue faction is one of the three major martial arts sects in Yanjing, and its strength is also in the third place in the entire imperial martial arts, but two years ago, there was a civil strife in the faction, and the original head Han Xiao has not been seen since then. As for the real inside story, it is not something that ordinary people can know. However, the strength of this faction is indeed extraordinary, and many grassroots officers in the guard system are from this faction.

The banquet officially began, no need to ask, of course, the dishes that came up were some delicacies from the mountains and seas, and the wine was also the world-famous Dolbo white wine produced in the Hansen Alliance of the Western Continent, which was mellow and refreshing, and had a long aftertaste. After thirty years of wine, five flavors of food, Situ Tai also asked about Qingyang's customs, geographical landscapes, etc. from time to time, Wufeng also took this opportunity to reflect the current practical difficulties in Qingyang to Situ Tai, hoping that His Royal Highness could give strong support within his ability, Situ Tai readily agreed to Wufeng's request, and expressed his willingness to help Wufeng do a good job in all aspects.

The atmosphere of the banquet was quite relaxed, and Situ Tai didn't ask too much about Wufeng's other situations, and Wufeng was also quite puzzled, but he didn't think much about it. Pinhualou also dedicated their reserved program during the banquet, two young girls from the Central Continent, performed a very national characteristics of the hula dance during the banquet, but the two women wore quite few clothes, covered with a thin gauze like cicada wings, soft as a boneless body, with the rhythm of the fierce music, several key areas loomed, and the five people present were attracted. When the two girls left the field, all five of them still had a feeling of unfinished.

Although Wu Feng was also a little intoxicated, because the dance of these two girls had done a lot of hard work, it was very provocative for men, especially on this occasion, even Wu Feng was a little shaken, but as a martial arts practitioner, he always had a feeling of being secretly peeped at, like a thorn in his back. However, Wu Feng didn't let anyone realize this, and pretended to be completely intoxicated.

After the banquet, Frey and the three of them went to another courtyard in Pinhualou, and the splendid nightlife began. Situ Tai said goodbye to the four of them with something else.

Back at the place where the dinner party was, a lean old man was already waiting for Situ Tai, waving his hand to let the guards who followed him out, closing the door, Situ Tai asked the lean old man, "How is it?" ”

"I can't see the depth now, this kid looks very, but I always feel that he is not completely immersed in it, as if he has always remained a little sober, but this is just my instinct, maybe I am overthinking. With a light sigh, Leng Qian replied.

"We'll just observe and observe, and I didn't think about how much we were going to get today. However, Xue Baiying and Fu Jian may be confused by the two guys, usually these two guys are always lukewarm, once this banquet is over today, they themselves can't say clearly, enough for the third, seventh, and ninth to break their heads, let them go to be suspicious, hahaha!" Situ Tai was very happy.

"Well, several highnesses definitely can't imagine how Xue Baiying and Fu Jian will participate in such a secret and important thing as ours, they will definitely think that these two people are already members of His Highness, in this way, naturally these two people will be excluded by them, or it won't be long before these two people will be obediently loyal to Your Highness." Leng Qian was also very satisfied with the plan he had designed.
