Chapter 20: The Visitor
"Let it go, let it go, let it go. The driver of a carriage shouted to the crowd in front of him as he slowly drove the carriage.
The crowd in front of them also immediately retreated and gave way after seeing it, and began to talk after the carriage passed.
"This is the carriage going to the Chu family again?"
"Looks like so, this is the sixth one these days. ”
"Tsk, look at the golden eagle on the roof of the car, this seems to be the symbol of a big merchant family over there in the capital!"
"It is worthy of being the master of the Chu family, and even people from the capital have come to attend the banquet he held. ”
"What is this, yesterday at dusk, I saw a flash of lightning descending from the sky into the courtyard of the Chu family. There must be a spiritual come. ”
"It's amazing. ”
The carriage moved slowly and steadily, and finally came to its destination, the Chu family.
There were already a few servants waiting there in front of the Chu family, and when they saw the carriage coming towards them, one of them ran towards the mansion, and the others immediately walked down the steps and stood respectfully.
"Phew. The groom stopped in his carriage, got out of the carriage, ran to the back of the carriage, and took out the small steps hanging from the carriage and put them on the ground.
"Master, the Chu family has arrived. ”
"Yes. An old voice came from the car, and then the curtain was lifted, and an old man in a white robe with gray hair but in good spirits stepped out.
After the old man walked out, several family members who were standing immediately stepped forward, and one of them took a step forward and said respectfully: "But the master Xiao of the Xiao family in the capital is in front of him." ”
The old man didn't answer, but the coachman next to him stepped forward, "Exactly." My lord came to attend the banquet held by the lord of the Chu family, please go in and let me know. ”
"Please wait, we already have someone going, wait a minute......"
"I'm already here. An indifferent voice came from behind the family, and several family members were shocked when they heard it, and immediately moved to the side.
Han Xuan walked from behind several people, clasped his fists at the old man and saluted, "Worship Han Xuan in the Xia Chu family, come to greet Elder Xiao." ”
At this time, Xiao Lao also stepped forward and said, "I didn't expect that it was actually the strongest "Eight Cold Cone" in Yunzhou, Lord Han Xuan, who came to greet me, an old man, in person. ”
Han Xuan showed a rare smile and said, "Old Mr. Xiao is a heavy guest who the master personally ordered not to be neglected, come, please follow me to your residence." A few of you, go and help Xiao Lao set up the horses and vehicles. ”
"Yes. ”
Xiao Lao also nodded and said, "Xiao Jiang, you should follow these family members first." ”
The groom behind Xiao Lao nodded yes, and immediately walked in front of a few family members, stretched out his hand and took out a few small gold leaves in his arms and stuffed them into their hands, "After that, I will have to work hard for a few brothers to help take care of it." ”
A few family members took the gold leaf handed over, and said that it was just a matter of duty, but there was still a satisfied smile on their faces.
And Han Xuan and Xiao Lao had already entered the mansion.
"What's going on. I feel a little irritability in you. This is rare! Han Xuan. Xiao Lao walked behind Han Xuan and spoke.
When Han Xuan in front heard this, he immediately replied: "It's not that those people who came before are going to quarrel, the Holy Son came to stop them once before, but after a while, they quarreled again." Now I'm afraid that only the oldest can stabilize the situation, and that's what the Holy Son means. ”
"Quarrel, why?" Xiao Lao's face was full of doubts, didn't he come to the banquet?
At this time, the two stopped in front of a room, Han Xuan stretched out his hand to push the door open and said, "Xiao Lao, let's go and see for yourself." ”
As soon as the two entered the room, they saw more than a dozen people arguing around a large round table, but they had just heard nothing outside the room, apparently doing something in the house.
"Didn't you get it before? I don't have any yet. A fat man in a tiger fur coat slapped the table and said loudly.
"If you don't get it, it's because you don't have the ability, this time it must be mine again, last time I asked the Holy Son to write an inscription for my painting, this time please, no, this time I want to ask the Holy Son to draw a picture for me, yes, draw a picture for me. Hehe......" A middle-aged man touched his goatee and smirked in a trance.
A long-haired woman next to him retorted, "Not necessarily, my gift this time is definitely in line with the ...... of this age"
Han Xuan said helplessly to Xiao Lao next to him, "Please also control the scene." ”
However, Xiao Lao was now looking at the noisy people in front of him, full of doubts, what are they fighting for?
Bang, bang, bang
Kun Cheng looked at everything in front of him with satisfaction, the originally noisy room suddenly quieted down, and the surroundings of the round table were imprisoned by a spiritual pressure, and everyone was directly pressed on the table and couldn't move, now they should be quiet.
At this time, everyone also saw the two people standing in the doorway, but they couldn't move, let alone say anything.
Xiao Lao walked to the round table and found an empty seat to sit down, and at the same time as he sat down, the spiritual pressure that had been pressing everyone immediately dissipated.
"What are you doing here, it's hard to get together, not to mention that you can see the Holy Son, who I haven't seen for a long time, making noise here and causing trouble to the Holy Son? As soon as Xiao Lao untied everyone's confinement, he opened his mouth to reprimand. The others didn't refute it after hearing it, but their faces were still so angry.
Xiao Lao frowned for a moment, his words didn't have any effect this time, and he opened his mouth again: "So what? What are you fighting for?"
After Xiao Lao finished speaking, the fat strong man who had just spoken immediately spoke: "Xiao Lao, you came just in time, you are fair, I am a few rough people, and I can't think of a way to please the Holy Son, so the rewards of the Holy Son were all won by you people before, no matter what you say this time, you should give a few of us the opportunity to fight." As soon as the strong man finished speaking, several people immediately followed.
"I don't agree with this, we are all fair competition, and it's our own ability to get it, why let it? And don't be discouraged, maybe that Chu Yang will like your gift more this time." A woman in a black bodysuit retorted.
"Fart, who knows what that Holy Son and that son like, I don't like to care about other people's affairs except the Holy Son, how can I compare to you people who have more eyes, and there are also people like the Han clan led by Han Sen and Yue Ling who have been staying by the side of the Holy Son. ”
Everyone expressed their own opinions, but they couldn't be unified, and they were about to quarrel again.
boom
A huge slap on the table sounded, and everyone was excited, and a layer of light appeared on everyone's body ready to resist the next spiritual pressure, and they all fell silent for a while. However, the spiritual pressure that everyone expected did not come out, and everyone looked at Xiao Lao with a black face carefully.
Xiao Lao couldn't help but chuckle in his heart when he heard the reward of the Holy Son just now. When I received the news that the Holy Son invited me to the banquet and that there was a reward from the Holy Son, I seemed to be a little too happy, and I came directly without preparing anything, completely forgetting that this reward was to give a gift to the Son of the Holy Son to get it.
Xiao Lao pushed away his chair and stood up, and said loudly: "Since you want me to solve it, then I am here to be fair, we are all the servants of the Holy Son, and we must not spoil the relationship because of such a trivial matter, so I mean that everyone will give up this reward." ”
Yes?
Everyone looked at Xiao Lao with strange eyes, the reward of the Holy Son was a trivial matter, and even Han Xuan thought the same, although he called Xiao Lao to stop this noise, but it was not to stop it like this, the reward of the Holy Son, it was impossible not to want it.
"Haha......" A thin man with a tall hat suddenly laughed: "I know, Xiao Lao, you must not have prepared a gift, so you want to ......"
boom
Before the man could finish speaking, the whole person suddenly flew backwards at high speed, hitting the wall hard, and the wall that the man hit flashed a white light, and there was no damage.
“......”
For a while, everyone didn't speak, and everyone looked at Xiao Lao, whose face became darker, with a clear look. Xiao Lao also saw the other people like this, and knew that it was impossible to fool them anymore, so he couldn't help but snort coldly.
boom
The whole room suddenly flashed with white light, and everyone involuntarily covered their eyes, but this was only a momentary thing, and everyone quickly regained their sight.
“......”
When everyone saw the direction where Xiao Lao was standing, the original Xiao Lao was gone, only a big hole in the wall. Everyone looked at each other and began to argue again.
"Alas. Han Xuan gently pushed open the door and walked out, closed it with his backhand, and a white light flashed in his hand and merged into the room, filling up the enchantment that had just been destroyed by Xiao Lao.
They are still in the mood to discuss what gifts to give here, if I can't hold a banquet, I won't even have a chance to give gifts, I just hope they don't make trouble at the banquet and don't do anything out of the ordinary to Chu Yang.
