Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Feast of the Hung Gate
only slapped Ye Tian from Bai Xiaoxi, ran out of the room and never came back. Similarly, Ling Xueran also disappeared.
Soon it was night, and the time for the banquet was getting closer and closer. Ye Tian was about to go alone just now, but when he told Xi Dong about himself, especially when he mentioned Shang Wei, Xi Dong immediately jumped up from the bed and asked Ye Tian to bring him with great interest. In the end, Ye Tian agreed, Xidong, and the two went together.
The Yongzhou City Lord's Mansion and the Ye Mansion are separated by a few streets, and the exchanges between the two are also very close. After all, the Ye family is the head snake of Yongzhou City, and if the city lord wants to govern Yongzhou well, he must make friends with the Ye family. What's more important is that the backstage of the Ye family in Yongzhou is the Ye family in the capital.
The Ye family in the capital is a medium-level strength, and even the Shang Emperor of the Datang Dynasty respects the Ye family a little, not to mention that he is a city lord.
The city lord of Yongzhou has been in Yongzhou for more than a few years, and he has not done anything in the whole Yongzhou, which is mediocre and mediocre, but this person's strength is at the prefecture level.
Before the half-pillar incense arrived, Ye Tian and Xidong came to the City Lord's Mansion. Looking up, the entire City Lord's Mansion was brightly lit tonight, destroying and charming. Two big red lanterns hung high in front of the door, and the red light reflected on the faces of the two guards in front of the door through the thin tin of the lanterns.
"The two of you are troubled to inform your city lord, and they will say that Ye Tian is coming to the banquet. Ye Tian walked up and said politely to the doorman.
The two guards looked at Ye Tian, who was dressed plainly and incomparably, and looked at Ye Tian and Xi Dong with disdain. One of the tall doormen walked towards Ye Tian and hurriedly pushed Ye Tian, "Where did you come from, don't weigh your own weight, and let our city lord feast you." Go where it's cool. ”
"Oh, since your city lord didn't entertain me, forget it, I'll retire first. Ye Tian was not angry at the doorman's disdain and provocation. This world is meant to be where the strong live and the weak die, and these guards don't take what they think of as ordinary people seriously.
After Ye Tian finished speaking, the two guards hurriedly waved their hands to let Ye Tian leave. Ye Tian and Xi Dong turned to leave, and just a few steps away, Ye Tian suddenly stopped.
I only heard a doorman behind him muttering, "Now the child is so ignorant, and let our city lord feast him, and he doesn't weigh himself." If there are such children who don't know what to do, there must be such parents who don't know what to do, and there are few tutors. ”
It was this sentence that made Ye Tian stop his pace, and stood in place in a daze, with his back to the doorman. Xidong also heard the two doormen talk about Ye Tian's parents, so he knew that these two doormen would not end well. Seeing that Ye Tian's body was faintly exuding a murderous aura, Xidong immediately rushed to the two doormen, grabbed the neck of one of the doormen with one hand, and suddenly the two doormen left the ground with their feet and looked embarrassed.
"Say your words again!" said Shidonhan.
The neck was grabbed, and the two guards began to gasp, and their faces were red from suffocation. The doorman from before breathlessly said, "You guys...... If you dare to make a move on the people of the City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord will definitely not let you go. ”
In danger, this doorman is still dangerous to the two of them, and Xi Dong is getting more and more angry, and he can't help but grasp it tighter. Both guards also began to faint.
"Be merciful!" Suddenly, the gate of the City Lord's Mansion was opened, and a middle-aged man hurriedly walked out of you.
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Xidong still didn't let go, grabbing the two guards, but his eyes shifted to the middle-aged man. "Who are you, and why should I listen to you and let them go. ”
"City ...... Lord of the city, let's do it quickly. Before the middle-aged man could answer, the two doormen saw the middle-aged man coming, gasping for help.
"It turns out that you are the city lord of Yongzhou. Xidong still grabbed the doorman and said coldly.
"Yes, yes, I am the city lord of Yongzhou, Yu Gongmin, and please let go of my two doormen who look down on people, don't worry about them generally. The city lord didn't put on any stinky spree, and said politely.
Xidong still held on to the doorman, with no intention of letting go. At this moment, no matter who persuaded him to let go, it was impossible, and the only thing he could listen to was Ye Tian's words.
"Brother Xidon, let them go. Ye Tian, who had not spoken, walked up from behind, patted Xidong on the shoulder and said lightly.
Xidong looked at Ye Tian, nodded slightly, and threw the two guards to the ground. looked at the city lord with an indifferent face.
"Compared to the two of them, it is inconvenient for Ye Tian and Xidong Shaoxia. The two guards didn't know how to be polite just now, so please understand, I will definitely punish them afterwards. "After all, the city lord is old and can handle things easily.
Ye Tian waved his hand, without a trace of a smile on his face, and said, "Where is the city lord, how can I have a problem with them." As for how the city lord manages his subordinates, I won't ask. But I want to remind you that if someone else talks nonsense to me in the future, I won't be the same as I am today. ”
The city lord could feel the anger in Ye Tian's words, and forcibly showed a smile, "Okay, in the future, if you do anything unusual to Ye Shaoxia, if you say something that shouldn't be, I won't let someone go first." In this way, the sixth prince and your second uncle are already waiting for you to arrive in the cold house. Please follow someone first. ”
"I'm tired, please come to the city lord. ”
"Please!"
Following the city lord and passing through the huge city lord's mansion compound, Ye Tian and Xi Dong were taken to another place where the city lord was specially used to receive distinguished guests.
Compared to other places before, it can be said that it is brightly lit and dazzling. On each side of the wide celadon paved road stood a row of women dressed in red, showing their sexy calves, each with a red lantern in their hands. Illuminate the road throughout the night.
A small dinner party actually made it so grand, and the city lord was really rich. Seeing such a scene, Ye Tian couldn't help but say secretly.
Seeing that the city lord Yu was bringing a distinguished guest, the housekeeper standing in front of the door hurriedly stepped forward, opened the gate, and greeted the city lord Yu and Ye Tian and the others with a smile.
"Haha, Ye Tian, you're finally here. The first dinner party made us wait. Ye Tian had just stepped into the room, and saw Shang Wei sitting on a chair quipping.
"I've kept you waiting. Please forgive me if you encounter something on the way. Ye Tian also let go of his previous unhappy emotions and showed a faint smile on his face.
"It's okay, it's okay. After that, you can punish yourself with a drink. ”
While talking to Shang Wei, on the other hand, the city lord asked the city lord to remove Ye Tian and the others from their seats so that they could sit down.
As soon as he sat down, Ye Tian Erbo picked up his wine glass and drank with Ye Tian, and said some inconsequential words, which were nothing more than some thanks to Ye Tian for forgiving the Ye family in Yongzhou.
Ye Fengyou put down the wine glass, and Shang Wei clinked glasses with Ye Tian regardless of his prince's shelf. After that, the rest of the people drank with Ye Tian. In short, those who came did not refuse, and Ye Tian drank them one by one. On the contrary, how could Xidong not drink, he only touched a glass with Ye Tian, and no matter who wanted to drink with him next, he refused. However, Ye Tian found that Xi Dong's gaze barely turned from Shang Wei's face.
After three rounds of drinking, several people were dizzy with alcohol on their faces, and they began to pour each other's wine indiscriminately. But there are not many who are really drunk. Everyone knows that it has not yet been said.
After drinking, Ye Tian looked at Ye Fengyou and asked indifferently, "Second uncle, can you tell me what happened that night? ”
Ye Fengyou had already guessed that Ye Tian was going to ask this, and Ye Fengyou would never forget the events of that night. What a cruel, tingling night it was. When I think about it, I feel trembling.
"Your uncle was bitten to death by you. Ye Fengyou swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with difficulty. A beginning gave Ye Fengyou the confidence to continue talking, and told the events of that night in one breath.
Ye Fengyou spoke for a long time, and he also spoke vividly, and the listeners were all frightened and creepy. They may have heard that someone in this world has eaten people, but they never expected Ye Tian to eat his uncle in front of so many people.
Not only did people who had nothing to do with this matter sound timid, but even the person concerned, Ye Tian, felt that his stomach was turning upside down. But I did hold back. Of course, Ye Tian didn't know about this, and he forgot everything after that. But Ye Tian could know from Bai Xiaoxi's words that his affairs should have something to do with the Dark Emperor. For now, I can only leave it alone and wait until I enter the Sword Sect.
"Brother Ye Tian is really bold, let me do that, I don't dare. Shang Wei's joke once again eased the awkward atmosphere of the scene.
"To tell you the truth, I don't remember anything about that night. Ye Tian didn't tell a lie, for him, he really forgot all about the events of that night, to be precise, he didn't know anything at all.
Shang Wei grinned, his face suddenly became serious, and the atmosphere became serious, "Ye Tian, just like a young and promising teenager like you, do you want to spend your life in this small place in Yongzhou City." Have you thought of developing further afield. For example, join some good forces. ”
This sentence made Ye Tian feel interested, "I don't know if the Sixth Prince has anything to recommend?"
"Haha, I don't dare to say what is good, but it will certainly not disappoint you. In another month, the Sword Sect is going to recruit new people, I wonder if you are interested in participating with me?"
"Oh, the Sword Sect, one of the several high-level forces at the peak of the continent, it is indeed desirable. However, why did the six princes want to be with a stranger who I didn't have at the prefecture level. With your status as a prince, there must be a lot of people who want to follow. Ye Tian said thoughtfully.
"No, no. To be precise, we are cooperating. On top of the Sword Sect's recruitment, as long as you help me get through it safely, other things have nothing to do with you. As for why I value you, of course it's not your strength, I only have my reasons, and that's also my secret. ”
"Very well, I promised. But what's in it for me?"
Speaking of this, Shang Wei suddenly quieted down, and released a faint layer of martial arts aura on his body, which was a strength that could only be possessed when entering the five-rank human level. This strength suddenly surprised several people present, including Ye Tian.
I saw that Shang Wei's cold tone reached everyone's ears, "For you, the good thing is that I won't kill you and your sister." ”
