Chapter 114: The Dinner Party
Lin Wanzhao's door was not closed, Shen Jing walked to the door, knocked twice on the wooden door and went in directly.
In the room, Lin Wanzhao and Lin Chongshan sat at the table and discussed quietly, and there was a little worry in their expressions. Lian Xue frowned and stood behind her eldest lady, the little girl listened to the conversation between the two and felt anxious, but Lian Xue also knew that she couldn't help much.
When the three of them heard a knock on the door, they all looked towards the door.
Seeing that it was Shen Jing who came, Lin Wanzhao and Lin Chongshan both got up.
After seeing Shen Jing, who suddenly appeared in front of the door, Lian Xue's clenched little hand loosened, and the anxiety in her heart suddenly eased a lot. When Lin Wanzhao saw Shen Qian, there was also a fleeting relaxation in her heart.
Lin Chongshan took two steps to the door, pulled Shen Jing into the room and sat down, and said worriedly as he walked: "Brother Jiang, this time the matter may be a little troublesome." ”
Lin Chongshan and Lianxue's sorrow were all written on their faces, and Shen Jing saw it when he first entered the door. Lin Wanzhao is slightly better, but the hidden worry between her eyebrows still can't be hidden.
"Jiang Shaoxia." After Lin Chongshan finished speaking, Lin Wanzhao also greeted politely.
Shen Jing nodded and replied, "Miss Lin." ”
After Shen Guo was pulled by Lin Chongshan to sit down, Lin Chongshan looked at Shen Jing and said worriedly: "Brother Jiang, tell me the truth, is that Lord Luo's cultivation very high?" ”
Shen Kuang didn't intend to lie to them, so he nodded and said, "That Lord Luo is the realm of the Great Perfection of the Guiyuan Realm, and if he is placed on the rivers and lakes, he is already a person who is qualified to start a sect." ”
After listening to Shen Jing's words, Lin Chongshan's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
"This time, is it really impossible to escape?" He said with some chagrin.
Shen Jing looked at Lin Chongshan, who looked sad, and said slowly: "Uncle Chongshan actually doesn't need to worry so much, there is still room for maneuver in the current situation." Although Lord Luo's cultivation is very high, if we deal with it properly, we still have a chance to deal with it. ”
Lin Chongshan also knew that the more this was the case, the more he couldn't mess with himself, so when he heard Shen Guan say that there was still room for maneuver, he immediately calmed down. "Brother Jiang, are you telling the truth? Do we really have a chance to keep everyone safe? ”
After Lin Chongshan asked anxiously, Shen Guan turned his head and glanced at Lin Wanzhao before speaking: "Whether it is Bai Wuya or that Lord Luo, their purpose is Miss Lin, so this matter still needs Miss Lin's cooperation." ”
After Shen finished speaking, Lin Chongshan also followed his gaze to Lin Wanzhao.
Needless to say, some things are too clear, and those who are in them will also know, such as the purpose of Bai Wuya and Luo Mingcheng.
Lin Wanzhao is a woman who knows the general situation, so after Shen Jing finished speaking, she looked at Shen Jing with a calm expression and said, "If there is anything that needs to be done in Wanzhao, Jiang Shaoxia can say it directly." ”
Hearing Lin Wanzhao's promise, Shen Jing said what he and Su Yao thought.
"Uncle Chongshan and Miss Lin also know what Bai Wuya's intention is to hold a banquet tonight, we have to take Bai Wuya and that Lord Luo as the starting point, and it may not be impossible to strike first."
What Bai Wuya and surnamed Luo were thinking or planning in their hearts, Lin Wanzhao and Lin Chongshan knew it in their hearts, but they were also at a loss because they knew it, so they were so worried.
But something needs to be done.
"Brother Jiang, the eldest lady and I are clear about the matter. Bai Wuya's eldest lady has not been in the middle of the picture for a day or two, and he has not coerced the eldest lady too much in the past. It's just that this time, the ill-intentioned Lord Luo suddenly appeared, and even Bai Wuya didn't dare to refuse, so there was tonight's banquet. ”
"What is the wind and dust, it is clearly the Hung Gate Banquet. But knowing that it is a fire pit, our Lin family still has to jump in, they can tear their faces first, we can't. ”
"Brother Jiang, let's talk about how to strike first, I'm a big old man and I don't have any cultivation, I'm about to die of worry."
Lin Chongshan knew that Shen Guo had a way, and he was actually a lot more relieved, so he didn't forget to smile bitterly twice when he said these words.
Shen Guo did not delay, and went straight to the point and said his thoughts.
After listening to Shen Jing's words, Lin Chongshan put away his relaxed expression, looked at Shen Jing with some concern, and said, "Brother Jiang, are you too risky to do this." If things don't go well at that time, Brother Jiang, how can our Lin family afford this kindness! ”
After that, Lin Chongshan glanced at Lin Wanzhao sadly: "It's all because I don't have the ability, otherwise you wouldn't have to suffer this catastrophe, Miss." ”
Lin Wanzhao didn't say anything, her eyes stayed on Shen Jing's face, she might be thinking about what kind of person she would be under that mask.
A handsome young man? Or a wanderer with a story. The two just met in Pingshui, but he was willing to be trapped.
Beginning with the heart, after the heart.
There are too many sufferings in the world, and even the heroes who speak up can't control the whole world. So as far as Shen is concerned, if he doesn't know about it, or if it doesn't concern him, he can ignore it.
But he is also deep in it, and has the ability to manage it, then he should use his sword. He didn't ask for anyone's thanks, but the sword in his hand was drawn forever for a reason, and it was right.
After Lin Wanzhao heard Lin Chongshan's words of self-blame, she retracted her gaze and said, "Uncle Chongshan doesn't have to blame himself, you have done your best, it is the evening that has affected you." ”
After saying to Lin Chongshan, Lin Wanzhao looked at Shen Jing again and continued: "Wanzhao is a businessman and a female streamer, with a lowly status, and now she is causing such trouble and affecting Jiang Shaoxia. Jiang Shaoxia took action regardless of his own safety, and he was grateful. ”
Although Lin Wanzhao is a woman, along the way, Shen Jing feels that she is not inferior to ordinary men. In the face of such a muddy situation now, she can still deal with it calmly, and this courage is inferior to many men.
The Lin family, whether it was Lian Xue, Lin Chongshan, or those guards and servants, all treated this Miss Lin with great respect.
From Lin Chongshan's mouth, Shen Jing also knew how Lin Wanzhao saved the Lin family's business from danger as a woman, so Shen Guan actually admired Lin Wanzhao a little bit in his heart.
After Lin Wanzhao finished speaking, Shen Jing looked at her and said, "This is all within my responsibility, Miss Lin doesn't have to be polite." Since I am here for money, I need to consider that this money will be tricky, and Miss Lin is about to suffer, and I need to do my part. Jiang didn't dare to guarantee that Miss Lin would be safe tonight, but Jiang would do his best to protect Miss Lin's safety. ”
After Shen Guan finished speaking, Lin Chongshan on the side stretched his eyebrows and smiled: "I know that I didn't hand over Brother Jiang, your little brother, in vain, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I will take out my old book and invite Brother Jiang to drink a good meal." I heard that the floating jade spring in Qiuluo City is the favorite of the people in the world, and when the time comes, I will let the shopkeeper take out the cellar old wine and have a good drink with Brother Jiang. ”
Shen Guan replied with a smile when he heard this: "Then it is a word, and Uncle Chongshan should not feel sorry for the silver when the time comes." ”
Lin Chongshan laughed when he heard Shen Jing's words.
Even Lin Wanzhao, who has always been unsmiling, covered the corners of her mouth and smiled.
The originally tense atmosphere in the room gradually calmed down, and Lianxue, who had been frowning, also completely relaxed after Shen Jing's words.
Lian Xue looked at Shen Jing, and felt more and more that the real chivalrous man should be Jiang Shaoxia, and the hero who said that Mr. Storyteller drank wine and ate meat in a big bowl must be a man like Uncle Chongshan who is not good at martial arts.
While Lian Xue was happy for her eldest lady, she was also glad that Uncle Lin, the steward who stayed on the ship, had such a good vision. Otherwise, she didn't dare to imagine the fate of her eldest lady.
After chatting a few words lightly, Shen Jing talked in detail with Lin Chongshan about the details of tonight, how to make it leaky and not arouse suspicion.
Lin Wanzhao on the side listened very carefully, and occasionally expressed her own opinions.
After finishing speaking, Shen Kuang took out two pills from his arms and handed them to Lin Chongshan, and then said, "Uncle Chongshan, these are two Qingfeng Pills, the best antidote pills. You and the eldest lady should take it before going to the banquet in the evening, so that they don't mess with the wine. ”
Lin Chongshan heard that he took the two white pills handed over by Shen Jing, although his martial arts cultivation was not high, he thought that he was also half of the people in the rivers and lakes, so he knew very well the value of the two pills in his hand.
He looked at Shen Jing and said earnestly: "Brother Jiang, I know that this elixir must be worth a lot of money. The current situation dictates that, since you are willing to take it out, I will not shirk it with a cheeky face. However, our Lin family is not the kind of portal that does not know how to learn about Entubao, whether we can leave safely or not this time, Brother Jiang, you will be our Lin family's honored guest in the future, Brother Jiang, please accept my worship. ”
With that, Lin Chongshan got up and prepared to make this big gift.
Seeing this, Shen Kuang hurriedly stopped: "Uncle Chongshan, there is no need to be like this. No matter how precious the pill is, no human life is important, since I am willing to take it out, it means that I take Uncle Chongshan and the Lin family as friends, if you are in trouble today, if I stand by and watch, then what kind of heroes are you. In the future, maybe one day it will be my turn to be difficult, but I still need Uncle Chongshan to pull me. ”
Lin Chongshan's worship still failed to go down after all.
He simply stood up and said with a smile: "Brother Jiang, don't worry, if you are in trouble, as long as the ward sounds, I, Lin Chongshan, will not give up, no matter how far away, I will definitely rush there." ”
Shen Guo laughed when he heard this: "Uncle Chongshan, it is unlucky to say that you will not die at this time. ”
Lin Chongshan reacted and slapped his mouth: "Look at my stinky mouth, I will never give up, I will never give up." ”
After Lin Chongshan finished speaking, he looked at Shen Jing and smiled.
At this point, the question in Shen Kuang's original heart also had an answer. In fact, the answer has been there for a long time, but the determination in my heart did not sprout until the conversation with Lin Chongshan.
Lin Wanzhao had been listening carefully to the two of them on the side, and she didn't know how to insert the words of thanks, so before Shen Jing left, she leaned over Shen Jing and bowed deeply, and the same was true for the little girl Lianxue.
Although there are still difficulties, the two of them can finally grasp some sense of security in their hearts.
Shen Guo did not stop and accepted this gift.
When he goes out, Lin Chongshan is both a guard and an elder. After Shen Guo left, Lin Chongshan looked at the direction he left and then at Lin Wanzhao, and suddenly smiled: "If the eldest lady and Brother Jiang can make a pair, it must be a match made in heaven!" ”
is so straightforward, a guard identity dares to say it directly to the master's family, which shows his status in the Lin family.
Lin Wanzhao didn't blame, but blushed and blamed Lin Chongshan.
Lin Chongshan smiled and closed his mouth when he heard this, and he still sighed a little in his heart after all. Jianghu people, such Jianghu people are really rare, he has no ability, he can only pray in his heart that Jianghu people like Brother Jiang can get a good return.
On the Huai River, a bright moon quietly rose. The moonlight reflected on the surface of the lake, making the night a little brighter.
Steward Lin Songfeng stood on the bow deck and watched the people who had not returned for a long time, pacing back and forth, his heart hanging for a long time.
————
In the Wolf Helper Gang, tonight is especially lively.
The people under his command only know that in the past two days, a group of people with good status have come to the village, and it is said that it is very likely that they are adults from the court, and it is their own helper who treats them with courtesy.
Although they didn't know exactly what had happened, nothing bad had happened in the past two days, and the crowd naturally attributed it to a good thing. It is also an honor for their own gang leaders to be valued by the adults in the court.
The night is getting up, and the moon is in the sky.
Master Zhou Yu got the order and came to the small courtyard where Lin Wanzhao and his party were staying to summon them to the table.
Except for Lin Chongshan and Lianxue, the rest of the people did not follow. The faces of the young guards of the accompanying Lin family were full of worry, but when they saw Uncle Chongshan's relaxed eyes and the absence of Jiang Shaoxia, they all relaxed.
Tonight's banquet is a proper Hongmen banquet in the words of Uncle Chongshan's book bag, they are not capable of helping their eldest lady get out of trouble, so waiting in the small courtyard is the most correct choice.
Master Zhou Yu didn't say too much except for simple greetings all the way, he waited patiently in the small courtyard, and after Lin Wanzhao was ready, he led the three of them to the hall.
This eldest lady of the Lin family, he has seen it a few times before, and her appearance is indeed good. The leader of his own family has been interested in it for a long time, but because of his identity, he has been reluctant to use it for a long time, but this time he has no chance to have this idea.
Zhou Yu walked in front and sighed slightly, feeling sorry for his own helper.
But as soon as he thought of Luo Mingcheng, Zhou Yu shook off his body again, feeling that as long as there was a life, the good-looking woman could still be found. The scene of Luo Mingcheng and his party breaking into the village that day and killing people without saying a word, Zhou Yu still remembers it vividly.
Naturally, they have killed people, but compared to these people in Luo Mingcheng, they are simply insignificant, and they are too far behind.
Although Lin Chongshan, who was walking at the end, couldn't see Shen Jing's figure, he knew that Shen Jing was by their side, so he was not so afraid. He believes in Brother Jiang's martial arts, and even more in Brother Jiang's guarantee.
When Zhou Yu led the three of them to approach the hall, Bai Wuya was waiting in the hall.
In the hall, several ordinary-looking women were dancing to the music. Under the flickering lights, there are also a few different moods.
After Bai Wuya saw Lin Wanzhao, he hurriedly got up with a smile and greeted him: "Sister Wanzhao enjoys the light tonight, our wolf gang is really brilliant." ”
After Bai Wuya approached, Lin Wanzhao stood up and leaned over to give a salute: "The White Gang Master is polite." ”
"Come on, come on, Sister Wanzhao sit down quickly, Lord Luo will come in a while." Bai Wuya led Lin Wanzhao to sit down, and he himself sat opposite Lin Wanzhao, leaving the main seat.
Lin Chongshan and Lian Xue were not qualified to sit down, but just stood behind Lin Wanzhao.
Luo Mingcheng didn't come, so the time for the banquet needed to wait. During this period, Bai Wuya smiled and greeted Lin Wanzhao, and Lin Wanzhao also dealt with them one by one.
Bai Wuya looked at the woman in front of him who he had been in love with for a long time, and he didn't dare to think about it at all, and sighed quietly in his heart. The world is impermanent, nothing more than that.
After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, they heard Luo Mingcheng laughing outside the hall and approached. "Luo is late, he abruptly surprised the beauty, and he will punish himself with three cups in a while."
When Lin Wanzhao and Bai Wuya saw Luo Mingcheng coming in, they also hurriedly got up to greet them.
Bai Wuya smiled: "It should be so, it should be so." ”
Luo Mingcheng still had the two guards behind him, and after he walked into the hall, he looked at Lin Wanzhao with fiery eyes, and he was happy that he would be able to hug the beauty for a while.
Luo Mingcheng smiled and walked to the main seat and sat down, without the slightest hint of pushing.
After seeing Luo Mingcheng sit down, Lin Wanzhao and Bai Wuya also sat down. Bai Wuya turned his head and signaled to his master Zhou Yu, who was waiting in the hall, that he could serve the food.
Zhou Yu understood and sent a little guy out.
The music and the dance steps of the maidservants in the hall also quietly changed.
Luo Mingcheng, who was in a particularly good mood tonight, sat on the main seat and looked at the twisting waists of the mediocre servant girls under the seat, although he couldn't get into his eyes, he still smiled: "Only the white gang leader can have this good fortune, and there is no shortage of wine and beauty!" ”
Bai Wuya smiled flatteringly when he heard this: "It's just a small fight, and it can't get into the eyes of Lord Luo." ”
Luo Mingcheng smiled, raised his eyebrows lightly and glanced at Bai Wuya and said, "As long as the Bai Gang Leader behaves well this time, why is it difficult to ensure that you are a real county commander." ”
Several side dishes with wine have been served one after another, and Bai Wuya, who was pouring wine for Luo Mingcheng, heard his words, and said excitedly: "Thank you Lord Luo for your support, Bai will definitely not let your adult down." ”
Bai Wuya had a bright smile on his face, and his heart was even more excited. At this moment, he was more determined about his previous choice.
After pouring wine for Luo Mingcheng, Bai Wuya filled Lin Wanzhao's wine glass again. It's just that he gently turned the wine jug except for him and Luo Mingcheng, and no one must have noticed it.
Bai Wuya looked at Lin Wanzhao and said with a smile: "Sister Wanzhao has to accompany Lord Luo to have a few more drinks, if you have Lord Luo's care in the future, it will not be difficult for your Lin family's business to become bigger." ”
When Luo Mingcheng heard this, he glanced at Lin Wanzhao and smiled without saying a word.
Lin Wanzhao was also exquisite, and knew the meaning of the two singing and harmonizing, so she had no choice but to lift the wine glass and say to Luo Mingcheng: "In terms of business, Wanzhao is just a woman, and she is not proficient." I would like to give you a cup of Lord Luo in the evening, and thank you for your care. ”
