Zizhou City, Fengyan Alley, high friends come and go, nobles like clouds.

Speaking of Mr. Liu Chen's Chinese New Year's Eve this year, he originally only invited a few familiar friends and a few neighbors around the mansion to have a drink, and did not want to get to the point where the world knows that all directions come to congratulate, and a character like him no longer needs these things to add glory to his family.

It's just that when the Seven Princes led the troops to fight in the northern grasslands in the early years, they were in danger, and fortunately Mr. Liu Zhen rescued him to survive, and this spring the Seven Princes were transferred back to Hudong, and they threatened to congratulate their life-saving benefactors with a unique gift in the world.

Now the four sons of Dayu are competing for the crown is a matter on the surface, all parties are staring at the opponent's moves, the seven princes are like this, and the other three princes naturally can't sit still, even if Mr. Liu Zhen's apocalypse respect, at this juncture, it will never be clear which side is leaning, but if the brothers go to celebrate their birthdays and they don't go, how can they guarantee that Mr. will not have any other opinions. Therefore, the three princes and the four princes all sent envoys to come, and it was rumored that the six princes were even white dragon fish suits and went to Zizhou City in person.

There are four princes who took the lead in coaxing, and there are naturally more people who follow the seedlings up and down the court and rivers and lakes, those who intend to serve a certain prince, those who sincerely come to congratulate him on his birthday, and those who want to leave an impression in front of Mr. Apocalypse, as well as admirers who simply want to see Mr. Liu Chen's side and idlers who just want to see the excitement, since Liu Fu was not good at refusing the hospitality of the four princes before, it is naturally difficult to shirk the congratulations of these people later.

Fortunately, Mr. Liu Zhen is easy-going, with a wave of his hand, the visitor is a guest, and the Liu Mansion welcomes all of them, so there is a scene where the whole Fengyan Alley is full of banquets today, and thousands of guests are bustling, so that the Zizhou Mansion ordered to send people to maintain order.

In the smell of wine in the alley, in the boasting of groups of people "how did I and Mr. Liu Zhen back then", Shang Yu wore a green shirt and approached the gate of Liu's mansion.

The gate of Liu's Mansion was naturally lined up at this time, two doormen one left and one right, one respectfully accepted the guest gift list from all parties, and the other beckoned a few guys who came in and out of the side door to move gifts, and two account offices were faintly visible behind the side door.

"This hero, the house is narrow, please sit outside the door!"

"This gentleman, you are late and the house is overcrowded, so please take a seat outside the door, and there will be a lot of care for the rudeness. ”

"Ah, it turned out to be Lord Zhou, Lord Li came early in the morning, and I have been waiting for you inside for a long time, please here. ”

“......”

Mr. Liu Zhen's birthday banquet, there are always 1,000 hundreds of people of all colors, who can enter the house to meet the host and enter the banquet, naturally there will not be too much, how to distinguish and distinguish, it is naturally a test of the porter's eyesight, and how to distinguish the guests from the inside and outside, but without hurting the face of the guests and not damaging the reputation of the host, it is necessary to be very old-fashioned.

Mr. Liu Heng is certainly indifferent and easy-going as the master, but if the master is taken advantage of because of his good temperament, it will be a great dereliction of duty.

But seeing that this pair of disciples is generous and decent, and although they are humble to high-ranking officials and eunuchs, they are also well-mannered to the three religions and nine streams, Shang Yu knows that the Liu family is by no means the kind of nouveau riche that the world rumores.

"Who are you, sir?"

Shang Yu came to the front of the mansion, and the man looked at him and asked respectfully.

This guest was fair-skinned and a little bookish, not like a person who had been sleeping in the open for many years. The steps are solemn, the eyebrows and eyes are vigorous, and he is a person who has experienced life and death battles, and he may have a life in his hands. Although the price of a good Huzhou brocade green shirt is expensive, the style of an ordinary garment shop is not tailor-made. Although the hair has been combed, there is still a little bit of water and dust on the tips of the hair, thinking that it came from afar, and hurried to the nearby inn after a little freshening.

The porter knew countless people, and he could see many things at a glance, some of which had obvious characteristics, and some of which needed to be pondered, but he just kept these in his heart, and did not say a word, and asked respectfully questions.

"In Xia Shangyu, I came from Tingzhou Shushui Academy to congratulate Mr. Liu Jian on his birthday on behalf of my friend Qin Yi. Shang Yu bowed lightly, but did not take out anything that could prove his identity, there was no single gift for the name of the post, the porter thought that he had forgotten for a while, so he did not trace the other person's greetings in his hand, and waited with a smile.

Shang Yu smiled bitterly in his heart, his luggage has been carried close to his back, the day before yesterday he met the evil dragon, and was struck down by a thunderbolt, not to mention the famous post and the book and painting as a gift, that is, all his clothes were broken into pieces of cloth, if he didn't have two or three pieces of scattered gold and silver with him, I am afraid that he would have to come to celebrate his birthday with his bare ass today.

"I saluted in disappointment on the way, and asked this little brother to go in and say goodbye. Shang Yu knew that he was at a loss, and no matter how bad his mood was, he still said softly.

"This ......" The porter hesitated slightly, but for the sake of Qin Yi's name, he said "Wait a minute" and walked in quickly.

Shang Yu didn't overstep either, waiting quietly at the door, and even if someone behind him was impatient, he would naturally not be rude on this occasion.

At this moment, a group of people dressed gorgeously, each with a weapon, came from the entrance of the alley.

"Dayu Chengtiansi enshrines Fan Beisha and comes to congratulate Mr. Liu Zhen on his birthday!"

Before the group reached the gate, the man at the head shouted loudly, and this voice was so loud that it overwhelmed the chatter and chaos of many guests in the alley, and it was clear that it was intended for the people in the house to hear.

But where is the number of courtesies for guests?

Many of the guests who were still waiting outside the door frowned, and whispered and whispered.

Shang Yu raised his eyes to look, but saw that the man was in his forties, with a wide face and big eyes, a short beard on his chin, a strong figure, a soap robe embroidered with gold thread and a tiger with thick-soled official boots, and the road was also a tiger's step, very mighty and extraordinary, and the four people with the same clothes behind him, although they did not have the majestic temperament of the person who was the leader, but they were also swaggering when they walked, and they couldn't wait to cross the street.

Chengtian Division is a very special Yamen of Dayu, specializing in the worship of the size of the imperial court, these people have complex backgrounds, different skills, some are not very innocent, some even have a case record, but as long as they enter the Chengtian Division, a body of heaven can be used by the court, there is a rank equal to the court officials at all levels, and the status is transcendent.

Yihou Zhao Ying once mentioned to Shang Yu that if he is willing to serve in the Chengtian Division, he can choose the official position below the first grade, and Qin Yi also mentioned before that the current Emperor Dayu has repeatedly asked Mr. Liu Zhen to go out of the mountain to lead the Chengtian Division, but he was rejected by Mr.

It is one thing for Liu Zhen to be willing to join the Chengtian Division, but it is another thing whether the unruly people in the Chengtian Division are obedient or not to obey this apocalypse.

I heard that the worship of the Chengtian Division is all Tianfeng, but now there are only three or four people.

Today's posture is naturally not difficult to understand, frowning, but Shang Yu is thinking, now the Dayu court, rivers and lakes and even the Water God Temple are very respectful of Mr. Liu Zhen, this group of people from Chengtiansi have the courage to smash the field?

In six or seven steps, this Fan Beisha arrived at the gate of Liu's mansion, still aggressively trying to break forward, and Shang Yu happened to be in front of the door, but they didn't stop or remind, it was clear that Shang Yu was out of the way.

Shang Yu stood quietly with his hands down, staring ahead, standing in a regular manner waiting for the porter to reply, but it was a group of people who were about to bump into him if he didn't see it.

"Get out of the way!" the group approached, Fan Beisha glanced at him obliquely, and an entourage behind him shouted loudly.

Even though the road here is crowded, there is always a width that can accommodate three or four people, and you are walking like crabs, are you embarrassed to teach others to give way?

When Shang Yu was in a bad mood, he had always been a narrow person, so he replied politely: "Be good, stay there!"

There is a huge wind and smoke alley, and thousands of people are whispering, and they are magically quiet.

Soon, the four people behind Fan Beisha were furious and said, "Boy, are you looking for death?"

"Don't mess around. The four of them were about to rush up, but Fan Beisha stretched out his hand to stop them, he glanced at Shang Yu indifferently, and seemed to disdain to say a word more to this kind of little guy waiting at the door of Liu's mansion, so he raised his eyes and looked into Liu's mansion.

Shang Yu then turned his gaze, and saw the disciple who had spoken before respectfully leading the way, and then a young man in a blue and gray robe walked out.

"Chengtian Si Fan Beisha, I am here to congratulate Mr. on his birthday, and I wish Mr. many blessings and longevity, and a long life. ”

Fan Beisha hugged his fist at the person who came out, but this tone didn't look like a birthday greeting.

Shang Yu understood, and it turned out that this young man was Mr. Liu Zhen.

Although Mr. Liu Zhen is a birthday star, he is only wearing an inconspicuous blue and gray robe as usual today, clean and practiced, and only has a ribbon embroidered with vermilion Ruyi cloud pattern on his waist, which is a scene.

Although this gentleman is famous, he seems to be flat eyebrows, introverted, he went out of the house, ignoring the Chengtian Division with a provocative face, and waved around, and said with a smile: "Lucky to come, Liu is very happy, and you are very happy, and you are very admired, but it is really difficult to reward you for being small in the house, and there are many snubbing today, Liu apologizes to all the heroes in advance." ”

The mouths of the people present said that they didn't dare, but many people looked at Fan Beisha, you old man is not lazy, we don't care, how to deal with this evil god, as long as this good show is exciting and lively, we are not in vain.

Liu Zhen greeted everyone, and Shang Yu was about to see how he dealt with Fan Beisha, but he turned his head to Shang Yu and saluted, and said with a smile: "I think you are Mr. Shang Yu of Shushui Academy?"

Shang Yu was taken aback, and hurriedly replied: "It's just that I am here, and I have not yet met Mr. Liu Zhen." ”

Liu Zhen helped Shang Yu up and looked him up and down: "I have been saying goodbye to Brother Qin for a few years, I don't want him to take this little thing to heart, the last time I corresponded with him, he also specially mentioned you." ”

"I think it's all Dean Qin's false praise. Shang Yu said politely.

Liu Zhen shook his head: "You are wrong, he didn't praise you for a good word." ”

“......”

"Hahaha. Liu Zhen laughed heartily and pulled Shang Yu inside, "Let's go, go in and drink." ”

Shang Yu saw that this Mr. Apocalypse had a magnificent and unrestrained temperament, and he also had a good impression, so he followed him to the mansion.

At this time, some people were naturally unhappy, and only listened to a yin and yang strange voice:

"Why, Mr. Liu Zhen's eyes are above the top, but he hasn't seen the villain?"
