Chapter 367: Tidal Banquet

readx;? The lobby on the first floor of the Tide Inn is full of people, the huge hall is full of all kinds of large tables, almost every table is full of guests, the shopkeepers with rags on their shoulders sweat profusely in the narrow aisles between the tables, and there are often people in the criss-crossing aisles who dodge and bump together, but this also makes these shopkeepers not bad' Skill', especially when they are carrying a large plate of dishes, the figure shuttling through these narrow aisles is extremely flexible, and it is often seen that the shopkeeper secretly pinched a cold sweat, for fear that this full plate of dishes will be poured on the body of the guests next to him. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

You must know that the guests who can come to the Tide Inn to stay in the hotel, the ten * are a bit of a background, to put it bluntly, they can't be offended, especially this is also related to the golden sign of the Tide Inn, the shopkeeper has been very sleek in life, and the so-called careful sailing of the 10,000-year-old ship is probably this reason.

"This uncle, or I'll find two guys to help you send these wines!" At this moment, the old shopkeeper was standing beside the account desk looking at Yin Xi who was holding the five major jars of wine in his arms with a worried face, and his two arms were hanging in the air beside him, as if he wanted to protect the big wine jar in his arms for Yin Xi, for fear that Yin Xi would smash the wine jar on the ground if he couldn't hold it, and he persuaded again and again, "This uncle, you are too dangerous like this......"

"It's okay!" Yin Xi's entire upper body was almost blocked by the five jars of wine that were piled together, he reluctantly tilted his head to look at the ground through the side of the wine jar, and said with a big grin, "Our master doesn't like strangers to go up and disturb, tell your buddy, don't run to the third floor if you have nothing to do, it will make our master unhappy, beware of Lao Tzu smashing your shop!"

"That's that!" Although the old shopkeeper didn't know what the so-called 'Uncle Lu' was, he only saw that the object of their banquet was Pang He, coupled with the pomp and circumstance of the entire three floors, the shrewd old shopkeeper had already guessed that this was definitely a master he couldn't afford to provoke, so he hurriedly nodded and smiled and agreed, "Then uncle, you slow down!" said that the old shopkeeper also shouted to the little seconders who were busy in the hall, "Help this master watch the way, don't run around like a dog, if you bump into the uncle, I won't spare you!" ”

"Okay, uncle, please come in!" the little two agreed happily, and then turned sideways to get out of the aisle, so that Yin Xi, who was holding the five major jars of wine, could pass smoothly.

Yin Xi was about to hold the five major jars of wine and staggered through the lobby, and inadvertently knocked down some guests who were eating, and some of them had a bad temper and wanted to be angry, but when they looked back, they saw Yin Xi's sturdy physique and the steel knife on his waist, and swallowed the scolding to his mouth one by one. After all, everyone comes out to eat for fun, not to find trouble, so with the mentality that more is better than less, no one cares about the reckless Yin Xi.

"Hey, let's let go, don't mess with the uncle's wine!" Yin Xi staggered towards the stairs like this, at this moment he couldn't see the road in front of him clearly, and he couldn't even see the steps under his feet, so he could barely climb up step by step by feeling, and he shouted as he walked, "Let Rang......!

"Oops!"

Boom Boom ...... Boom......

Just when Yin Xi was about to step on the last step of the second floor, a yellow figure that suddenly flashed out of the staircase did not dodge, and hit the wine jar that Yin Xi was holding, Yin Xi never saw anyone in front of him at all, so he was hit by this sudden impact, and his body was unstable and staggered to the side, and at the same time, the five jars of wine in his arms also came out of his hand, accompanied by a series of crisp sounds of the wine jars breaking, and in an instant, none of the five jars of wine were spared from smashing on the stairs.

"You ......"

"What's the matter with you?" However, before Yin Xi could speak, a woman's reprimand voice mixed with anger suddenly sounded in front of Yin Xi, and it was not until this moment that Yin Xi raised his head to see the person he had just knocked down in front of him.

This is a girl about twenty years old, with a goose egg face and a little powder, looking particularly delicate, curved eyebrows like two willow leaves, a pair of big black eyes are glaring at Yin Xi angrily, a tall little nose is tightly wrinkled, red lips and teeth are white with a cherry mouth is chattering at the moment, she is wearing a yellow skirt, and her figure is also wrapped exquisitely. Although this woman is not a national beauty, she can definitely be regarded as having a good face, especially in her eyes, there is always a child-like clarity in her eyes, which does not seem to contain a trace of impurities. And Yin Xi was involuntarily stunned for the first time when he saw this girl, and the dirty words that originally came to his mouth were also swallowed back involuntarily, just looking at the girl in front of him in a daze.

"Hey!" The woman in yellow was a little stunned when she saw Yin Xi, she couldn't help frowning, and then said angrily, "I'm talking to you, you bumped into me just now, what are you pretending to be stupid now?"

"Huh?" Yin Xi was suddenly awakened by the girl's voice, and then he first glanced left and right with a panicked face, and at this moment several shopkeepers had rushed to help clean up, Yin Xi swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and then said in a daze, "That girl...... I'm sorry......"

Looking at Yin Xi's stunned appearance, the woman in yellow actually laughed with a 'poof', and her smile made Yin Xi's face flush inexplicably, looking at a man with five big and three thick eyes at the moment, he actually showed this twisted look, not to mention the woman in yellow, even some of the guests around who saw this scene couldn't stop laughing.

"Forget it, forgive you!" the woman in yellow raised her eyebrows, and then teased quirfully, "Who made you just a piece of wood?"

"Yue'er, what's wrong?" At this moment, a young man in a green shirt happened to walk over, he first glanced at Yin Xi suspiciously, and then turned his gaze to the woman in yellow.

"It's okay, brother, let's go!" the woman in yellow smiled casually, and then she jumped around Yin Xi and walked downstairs, and after the man in the green shirt glanced at Yin Xi again, he didn't say anything more and followed sideways.

And when the woman in yellow bypassed Yin Xi, who was still in a daze, she didn't forget to leave a funny sentence: "Goodbye! wood! haha......"

Until the woman in yellow left the Tide Inn for a long time, Yin Xi had been standing at the head of the stairs in a daze for no reason, if it wasn't for Lu Wen coming down to find him later, I was afraid that his mind would have been haunting the "wood" of the woman in yellow just now!

Compared with the small episode downstairs, Lu Yifan and the others in the private room on the third floor don't know, maybe it should be said that no matter what happens around at this moment, I am afraid that it will be difficult to divert the attention of everyone in the private room at this moment, right?

From the beginning when Pang He recognized Lu Yifan just now, Pang He's whole person has been in an indescribable tension and apprehension, after he exchanged a few words with Lu Yifan quite unfamiliarly, he was invited to the table by Lu Yifan, at this moment in addition to Lu Yifan and Pang He, there are also Han Ling'er, Liu Sandao, Ji Yuan, Xie Yun, these old friends who have met in the lockdown, and Pang He is only Ma Quan who is qualified to sit with him.

And the most interesting thing is that at this moment, whether it is behind Lu Yifan or behind Pang He, there are more than a dozen people with swords standing. This tidal feast with an extremely delicate atmosphere made Pang He's heart always feel like a boulder, and he was about to be depressed.

"Come on, come on, I'll give a toast to Lu Gongzi!" Ma Quan saw that Lu Yifan and Pang He didn't take the initiative to speak except for the pale greetings they had just met, so he took the initiative to raise his wine glass and smiled at Lu Yifan with a smile, "Lu Gongzi's name is like thunder, and it is really a blessing for Ma to have the honor to see Gongzi's true face with his own eyes today!"

Lu Yifan didn't pay attention to Ma Quan's toast, his eyes kept staring straight at Pang He, who was a little restless, and said lightly: "Don't worry! Today is my reunion with the old friends of the Pang City Lord, even if I want to drink, I should drink this first cup with the Pang City Lord!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Ma Quan smiled while stretching out his hand and patting his head again and again, and he blamed himself again and again, "Look at my elm head, it's really old and confused!haha...... It should be punished!" said that Ma Quan sang a one-man show in an extremely embarrassing atmosphere, and finally punished himself with a drink.

"Hehe......" Pang He finally took the initiative to break the deadlock, he first struggled to adjust his nervous mood, and then smiled at Lu Yifan with a slightly stiff face, "I think if I hadn't been appreciated and promoted by Lu Gongzi, how could I be where I am today! Here, I will first toast Lu Gongzi with a glass!" Saying that, Pang He took the wine glass in his hand and took the initiative to salute Lu Yifan, and Lu Yifan was also very face-saving, and smiled and raised the wine glass to return to Pang He.

After drinking a cup together, Lu Yifan said with a light smile: "I know what you are thinking now, City Lord Pang! I also know why you are so nervous after seeing me!"

As soon as Lu Yifan's words came out, Pang He's eyes immediately lit up.

"I am now a felony in the court, robbing relatives, escaping from prison, and killing people, no matter which crime is enough for me Lu Yifan to die several times, His Majesty the Emperor personally ordered me to be arrested, and there is no city in the realm of the Holy Land that has not received a wanted notice?" Lu Yifan said softly, "Now you and I have different statuses, you are the minister of the emperor, the master of this Western Imperial City, the official worships the Western Imperial Marquis, and he is in a high position! So at this moment, you feel extremely unnatural and even extremely embarrassed to sit at the same table with me! City Lord Pang, I don't know if what Lu said is right?"

"This ......" Pang He's face looked a little pale at the moment, he had been playing with the wine glass in his hand, not to mention his friendship with Lu Yifan, just to say that these masters around Lu Yifan, which one of them was not an outlaw he had witnessed with his own eyes, if he had the courage to say the slightest disobedience now, with him and his dozen or so subordinates, let alone catching Lu Yifan, it was wishful thinking to even save his own life, the more so, the more he had to think twice, and he didn't dare to act rashly," To tell the truth, now that the Holy Domain War is imminent, Lan Shixun has rebelled in the northern Xinjiang, and the Sacred Domain Sect Master has also acquiesced in conniving at the major sects to do evil, and the entire Holy Domain has fallen into chaos, I, the Lord of the Western Imperial City, am just a false name, what kind of high power can I talk about? Lu Gongzi is my Pang He's great benefactor, my Bole, and my Pang He's most admired friend, how can I deviate from the love between me and Lu Gongzi because of a notice?"

"Yes, yes, the city lord has always said to us subordinates that Lord Lu was so brave and wise in the lockdown of the city back then, leading the city lord to fight against the powerful Lou Zong, Lu Gongzi and the city lord were born and died together, and they had already formed a love that would not be broken for ten thousand years!" Ma Quan had been complimenting him again and again.

"Back then?" Xie Yun sneered, "It seems that it has been less than two years now, right? Now it is really a matter of things and people, and it has only been a short time, and the iron-clad, frank, and daring to fight and kill General Pang back then has now turned into a city lord who is so sleek in the world! If it weren't for the city lord Pang, your appearance has not changed, I really think that I recognized the wrong person!"

Being ridiculed by Xie Yun like this, Pang He's face immediately became a little ugly, since he became the Lord of the Western Imperial City, no one had dared to talk to him like this for so long, and even the Emperor Sect sent someone to collect the money was also pleasant. Now that he was so sneered at by Xie Yun, Pang He's heart was of course a little unhappy! But if this matter was placed during the lockdown period, he would never be upset because of this little thing.

"Brother Xie said that he laughed! It's not that Pang has changed, but the current situation has to change Pang Mou!" Pang He smiled helplessly, "This city lord is much more difficult to do than the city army commander back then, if I don't change, I'm afraid it will be difficult to survive to this day......"

"Now the Pang City Lord's hand is no longer holding a knife, but instead holding a fan!" Ji Yuan said softly, "It is no longer a garrison camp that lives, but has become the Western Emperor's Mansion! Surrounded by soldiers who live and die together, it has been replaced by a group of beautiful wives and concubines! Talking is no longer straightforward, but has become an endless circle! Such a Pang City Lord, one is no longer one, two is no longer two, black is no longer black, and white is no longer white! Just like Commander Pang used to be loyal to the emperor, wholeheartedly to repay the grace of the saint, and conscientiously did not hesitate to scare the people of the city for the sake of sealing the city, but now the city lord Pang is looking down on the emperor, and does not hesitate to betray morality and impose heavy taxes on the people, and does not hesitate to sell the blood and sweat of the people in the city in order to protect himself! To be honest, I really don't know whether this change in the city lord Pang is a good thing or a bad thing!"

"Original...... You all already know!" Pang He's face turned red at the moment, just like a child who had done something wrong was exposed to his face, although Pang He had changed a lot during this time, but he was still the flesh-and-blood commander in his bones, even if he could deliberately change his life, but how could his nature be changed if he changed?

"The wind and rain all over the city are telling about the great achievements of the city lord, I'm afraid we can't listen to it!" Han Ling'er said lightly, "But Pang City Lord, please rest assured, we ourselves are all fugitives wanted by the emperor, of course, we are not qualified to come to you to ask you about the guilt, I just want to find an old friend to catch up with you today, but it seems that Pang City Lord is not very happy to see us!"

At this moment, Pang He looked at the steaming delicacies on the table, but his mouth was bitter and astringent, and he couldn't arouse his appetite at all.

"Anyway, my Pang He can have today because of Lu Gongzi's love, even if I Pang He becomes a philistine, I will definitely not become a villain who will take revenge!" Pang He lowered his head, held the wine glass tightly in his hand, and said with a red face, "Since you have come to the West Imperial City, then the West Imperial City is your home, and I, Pang He, will definitely do my best to give you all the things you need!"

"Pang He!" Lu Yifan finally called Pang He's name, and his shout also made Pang He raise his head suddenly, his eyes were trembling uncontrollably, at this moment Lu Yifan's shout made him seem to return to the time when he was in the lockdown, "I'm glad I just saw the shadow of my old friend who still exists! People will change, it's not scary, it's scary to change so that you don't even know yourself, and obviously you don't have that!"

Ma Quan looked at Lu Yifan and Pang He with a puzzled expression, he had not experienced the lockdown, so naturally he would not understand how deep the affection was between them, but he just looked around suspiciously, as if he was observing the group of people around Lu Yifan.

"Lu Gongzi ......"

"Yifan!" Just as Pang He was about to open his mouth, Lu Jun suddenly flashed in from outside the door and said with a solemn face, "Hundreds of city troops have suddenly gathered outside the inn, and they have surrounded the inn, it seems that they are coming at us?"

As soon as Lu Jun said this, Lu Yifan and Pang He's faces changed at the same time. Liu Sandao, Ji Yuan, Xie Yun, and Chu Ding, Qin Qingyu, Luo Xiu and others who were standing behind couldn't help but put their hands on the blades, and their faces became cold in an instant. Lu Yifan first waved his hand to interrupt their movements, and then looked at Pang He with a look of surprise, his brows furrowed slightly, and he whispered in disbelief, "Are you going to kill me?"

"I ......" Pang He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when Lu Yifan asked this, he first looked left and right, and then stood up abruptly and walked to the window to look down, and when he saw the city army with swords and swords downstairs, his brows instantly wrinkled, he turned his head sharply and stared at Ma Quan, and asked in a low voice in a gloomy voice, "What's the matter?"

"This ......" Ma Quan was caught off guard and categorically didn't dare to admit what he had done, so he could only play a round in a sneering manner, "It may be that the commander of the city army saw the city lord coming to the Tide Inn, and he was worried that there would be danger, so he sent someone to protect him......"

"You go down now, let all the city troops outside get back for me!" Pang He shouted angrily, "Then find out who made the initiative to transfer troops here, and after finding out, you don't have to ask for the guilt, just behead it!"

"Yes......" Ma Quan was so frightened that he hurriedly turned around and ran downstairs, where did he dare to stay here for a while?

"Master Lu, I'm ......"

"I believe you!" Without waiting for Pang He to speak, Lu Yifan smiled sincerely at him, "A misunderstanding!"

Hearing this, the corners of Pang He's mouth also showed a hint of relief, and he saw him pick up his wine glass and salute Lu Yifanyao: "Haha...... Lu Gongzi has just arrived in the Western Imperial City, there must be many places that need my Pang He's help, you didn't say what you need just now? Don't be polite to me, I have the final say in the Western Imperial City now, Lu Gongzi can just open his mouth if he wants!"

Facing the confident Pang He, Lu Yifan couldn't help but smile at each other, and then before Pang He could put the wine in his mouth, Liu Sandao's joking words made the wine glass in Pang He's hand that had been attached to his lips be put down by him again, and at the same time, the smile on Pang He's face also solidified in an instant.

"What we want is...... Let the Emperor get out of the West Emperor Mountain!"
