Chapter 55, Zeng's Banquet

Qingwei was depressed and rode a horse at the back of the team, only to see that the sky was overcast, there was a slight wind blowing, and he felt a little cold, looking at Ziqing in front of him wearing thin clothes, he didn't know if she was cold or not, and when he arrived in the state city, he bought a piece of clothes for her.

While walking, a large group of people and horses came on the road, some on horseback, some on foot, all wearing armor, a military uniform, it was the army sent to the south to fight, this team accounted for most of the road, the people of Nantianyue could only ride into alone, the speed was correspondingly slowed down a lot, this team was too long, looking forward, I couldn't see the tail, I don't know how many people.

Qing Wei checked them one by one, and there were no cultivators in them, indicating that they were all ordinary soldiers.

Xia Tongxin turned back to Qingwei and said, "This early warning is too accurate, and there is really a change." ”

Qingwei's expression was gloomy, just like this winter weather, with a faint sadness: "Yes, the world will be in chaos." ”

Li Shigui looked a little expectant: "It's good to be in chaos, the so-called heroes come out of troubled times." Xia Tongxin sighed and said: "This time, the people will be miserable, and it is the people who suffer." ”

Nangong Shu praised sincerely: "Xia Tongxin is a charitable person, worried about the world and the people, if you are an official, you must be a good official." Xia Tongxin shook his head and said with a sad smile: "Being an official, my father didn't let me be an official, let me come to Nantianyue to practice, my father may not be able to maintain it, the officialdom is sinister." ”

The soldiers passing by and the people of Nantianyue walked in the same direction, and there was an endless stream, and they walked for more than ten miles before they ended.

Seeing that the soldiers were finished, Zimu said in a loud voice: "Everyone hurry up, this road is not smooth." ”

After a sentence everyone lifted their spirits and urged the horses to run.

I ran and ran again, and when I arrived at a small town, I rested for a while, but I didn't dare to delay too long, and I began to move forward quickly.

After running for a while, when everyone was tired and out of breath, Zeng Weiye pointed his finger ahead and said: "It's not far from the state city, there are still more than ten miles to go." ”

Ziyan looked at everyone, they were all tired, and even he sweated slightly and said, "Let's walk slowly, everyone may be tired after walking such a long way." ”

After listening to Ziyan's words, everyone slowed down their pace and walked slowly.

Turning a corner, everyone found that there was a long line in front of them, neatly arranged on both sides, with neat knives and guns, Zimu didn't seem to be frightened, and secretly said What is going on, don't you let us pass.

Even Zeng Weiye unconsciously slowed down his pace.

The person in front shouted: "It's Zeng Gongzi?!" Zeng Weiye immediately owed a debt and said, "I am." ”

The general brought more than a dozen people to greet him, Zeng Weiye didn't know what to do, and he was secretly shocked.

After the group of people came, a general immediately clasped his fists and said, "Zeng Gongzi, we are here to pick you up." ”

Zeng Weiye said in his heart, didn't you say it earlier, which startled me a lot, and said with a smile: "How do you know that we are coming?" The general said: "It was the county lord who sent someone to deliver the letter, and Governor Zeng has been waiting in the gazebo in front for a long time." ”

Zeng Weiye was overjoyed, and turned his head to Zimu and the others: "My father came to pick us up." Nangong Shu couldn't help but say in a low voice when he saw his joy: "The two fathers and sons are the same, and they like to put on a show." ”

Qingwei looked very disgusted: "This kind of person is either greedy for money or greedy for power. Wu Yutao said: "Now in this world, only this kind of person can be popular." ”

The long procession was divided into two sides, afraid that there were as many as three or five thousand people, all the cavalry, the flag was clear, this formation was similar to the Qincha officers who greeted the inspection, Zeng Weiye felt that his face was bright, and he became more and more ashamed.

The general officer accompanied Zeng Weiye and the others to the pavilion, turned over and dismounted.

Zeng Weiye happily stepped forward to salute, and the two fathers and sons inevitably greeted each other, and introduced Zimu and Ziyan again.

Zeng Weiye said: "This is my second master, my fourth master, and also the elder of Nantianyue. ”

Hearing that it was the elder of Nan Tianyue, Zeng Er got up and said, "Dao Chief, please sit inside, drink a glass of wine to warm up your body and get up again." ”

Shigi smiled and said, "It's bothering the governor, but it's disrespectful." Zeng Er said: "My naughty son has made the elders worry a lot. ”

Zimu drank wine, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said with praise: "Your son is extremely smart, his kung fu comprehension is extremely fast, a rare talent, Nantianyue won the second place in the martial arts competition, he is really a person with both ability and political integrity, and he likes it deeply in Nantianyue." ”

At that moment, a few people drank a few glasses of wine and began to get up, that Zeng Er rode in a wide and high-canopy carriage, richly decorated, Zeng Weiye also entered the carriage and invited Zimu to sit together, Zimu did not shirk to sit in the car, Ziyan resigned, and rode on his own.

Thousands of people swayed, gongs and drums opened the way, driving the passing pedestrians far away.

More than ten miles of road is not far, less than an hour, to the city, the city of Nazhou is two or three times larger than the county town, the street was originally full of tourists, but this line of people was dispersed before the arrival. The streets were empty and lonely.

arranged a place to stay, Zeng Er left a message, and invited everyone to dine at home in the evening.

Qingwei and a few others arrived at the residence, this room is slightly larger, four people live in a room, Qingwei doesn't want to go out for a walk indoors for the time being, and it won't take long to go out, because it's already afternoon, and he will soon go to Zeng's Mansion for dinner, Qingwei is reluctant to go, and he said to Nangong Shu, Li Shigui, Zhang Yiran, Yue Ming and other people, and several people agreed.

Qingwei said to a few people: "Let's talk about going shopping, and then go eat something by ourselves." ”

Li Shigui said with a disdainful face: "That Zeng family father and son love to show off, and they held a welcoming ceremony, which was so great that it annoyed me, and they all beat me down." ”

Qingwei said: "It's best not to do it indiscriminately, I took a cursory look, there are five or six third-level spirit masters in his family, and they should not be underestimated." Li Shigui obeyed Qingwei's words, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll let him go for the time being, don't mess with me in the future, otherwise..."

Yue Ming said worriedly: "A governor has so many masters, so Ouyang Lao'er is not more masters" thought in his heart, how to avenge this revenge. Nangong Shu said: "Yes, now this Ouyang Lao'er controls the Great Xia Kingdom, and his strength is not ordinary." ”

Qingwei also felt the same way, the difficulty was not ordinary, and he felt an invisible pressure in his heart.

The four of them decided not to go to Zeng'er's mansion, and went to the streets to go shopping one after the other.

Zeng Weiye and a few others arrived home, and after seeing their families, they took the five Guitou people to the room.

Gui Tou said: "Today is a good day, this Ziqing took the initiative to find the captain." ”

Zeng Weiye said happily in his heart: "She is still suspicious of yesterday's events, and she was easily deceived by me. ”

Qian Xianyin smiled: "Depending on the situation, this Ziqing is getting better and better for our captain, and it won't be long before we can win it." ”

Zeng Weiye smiled, and his face showed murderous intent: "It's best to find a way to solve that Qingwei once and for all, what do you say is a good way." Lu Zhigui suggested: "Invite a few killers to assassinate him." ”

Zeng Weiye shook his head and said: "Eight years ago, I hired a master and failed to kill him, my father reprimanded me several times, saying that I was not careful and almost caused a big disaster, and I dare not ask my father about the killer now." ”

Gui Tou looked at Zeng Weiye and said: "I have a way, the crispy tendons you made yesterday will work well, so that the chick has a much better impression of you, and she plays a full hero to save the beauty." ”

Wei Taibiao glared at him and said, "You just finish it all at once, you can't do it all at once, you love to hang your appetite the most." ”

Gui Tou stopped pretending and smiled: "Okay, I'll just say it directly, everyone doesn't have to come to the house to eat tonight, you get some poison to add to Qingwei's cup, it's not solved, please trouble the killer." ”

Zeng Weiye felt that it was inappropriate and said: "It's not easy to explain that this Qingwei died in the house, his master is the head of the Purple Cloud Dao, and when he is angry, he even wants to give him three points, which is tantamount to bringing disaster to my family." Qian Xiyin interjected: "No, your idea is not appropriate at all. ”

Gui Tou said slowly: "Death in the house, definitely not, we can't let him die in the house, with some medicine for him to die after three or five days, who will find out, besides, everyone has eaten, only he has a problem, who would have thought of this." ”

Zeng Weiye clapped his hands and praised: "Wonderful, wonderful, I can go to find medicine, kill him unconsciously, Guitou, you have indeed made a great contribution!" Zeng Weiye laughed happily, killed Qingwei, and everything was extremely smooth at that time, especially Ziqing must be in the bag.

At night, the lights of Zengfu were brilliant, and the servants shuttled back and forth, as if it was a festive atmosphere, and most of the people in Nantianyue arrived, except for Qingwei and the other four, of course.

Ziqing and Zijun arrived, and Xia Wushuang, Bai Xuefei, Wu Yujiao, etc. sat next to them, this Zeng Mansion was very large, more than 100 people did not seem crowded, Zeng Er sat on the throne, Zimu and Ziyan sat on the left and right, leaving a square open space in the middle, and the servants rushed in, and the dishes and fruits were very busy.

Wu Yujiao smacked her tongue and said: "Ah, it's so magnificent, it's really a rich and noble family." Xia Wushuang scoffed: "You haven't seen the world at first glance." ”

Wu Yujiao retorted: "Then have you seen it?!" Xia Wushuang smiled: "What's the big deal, I've really seen it, it's bigger than this pomp..."

Zeng Weiye and Gui Tou sat opposite the main seat, Zeng Weiye's medicine had been prepared, but looking around, Qingwei had not arrived, and asked others that he was not coming, and he was very disappointed in his heart.

Na Zenger raised his glass and said: "Everyone raise your glasses, I personally welcome you warmly, the first glass of wine is dry, everyone is dry." The girl who didn't drink also took the teacup and drank it down.

The servant next to him hurriedly filled the glass.

Zeng Er's eyes swept over everyone, and he said with a smile: "Singing and dancing." ”

A few dancers got off the stage and danced for a while.

Zimu was very satisfied, raised his glass to Zeng Er and said: "Thank you for your warm hospitality, borrow flowers to offer Buddha and a cup to the governor." ”

Zeng Er raised his glass and drank: "The Tao is coming from a long way, but I have to play for a few more days, so that I can do my landlord's friendship." ”

Zimu put down his wine glass and said, "We are going to the Jade Dragon Sect, we are afraid that there will not be enough time after a long delay, so we are ready to leave tomorrow." ”

Zeng Er said: "The Jade Dragon Sect, the road is far away, the road is hard, the climate is very cold in this winter, the Taoist is long, play for two or three days, I will send someone to buy a carriage for you, how about it?"

Zimu smiled and groaned: "Let the governor break the bill, since the governor is so gracious, I will delay it for another day and set off the day after tomorrow." ”

After the dance, a few more sang, singing and dancing, with long sleeves fluttering.

After singing and dancing, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, everyone was full and said goodbye, Zeng Weiye personally sent it out, called a wide carriage, and let Zimu and Ziyan get on the car, but there was still room left in the carriage, Zeng Weiye said to Ziqing: "Come on, you two sisters come up, I will send you back together." ”

Ziqing said: "No, let's go." "Insist on not getting in the car.

Zimu said with a blank face: "Zeng Gongzi is kind, don't shirk it." ”

Ziqing and Zijun had no choice but to get in the car.

Zeng Er took someone to the gate and waved his hand: "Slow down!"

When he was about to get into the car, Ziqing looked back and saw a person behind Zeng Er, with a long scar on his forehead, which seemed to have been seen before, but he couldn't remember it for a while, and the lights were dim at night, so he couldn't see it clearly.
