Ma Tianhu immediately fell silent.

Hu Jinzhong came in, with a smile on his face, and said to Zhuang Zhou: "Lunch has been prepared, is it served now?"

Zhuang Zhou said: "Serve it!"

Hu Jinzhong agreed, snapped his fingers at the side door, and said, "Come here!"

As soon as the words fell, five or six people rushed in through the side door, all young women in yellow shirts, silently, each carrying a plate full of food, gently moving lotus steps, and placing them on a large dining table on the left side of the hall, and then rushing out again, leaving only a tall girl standing at the dining table.

During the whole process, none of the women spoke, not even the sound of footsteps. After the yellow shadow swayed, the hall was empty again.

Until all the women left, Zhuang Zhou and the others were still a little stunned, everything that happened just now was suddenly a momentary dream, if it weren't for the wisps of incense still left in the hall, and the five or six plates of food on the dining table, the silent girl at the dining table, they would really think that it was an illusion just now.

Looking at the expressions of Zhuang Zhou and the others, Hu Jinzhong seemed a little proud, a subtle smile flashed across his face, and he bowed down and said, "Boss Zhuang is invited to dinner!"

Zhuang Zhou nodded, got up and walked to the table, and said to Hu Jinzhong: "Manager Hu let's eat together!"

Hu Jinzhong was stunned, obviously a little awkward for Zhuang Zhou to call himself "Manager Hu". Zhuang Zhou didn't know that the name of the chief manager is rare in today's secular world, but it is often heard in many costume TV series, and it has a close relationship with the eunuchs in the palace.

Hu Jinzhong smiled awkwardly: "Boss Zhuang can call me Lao Hu in the future." The hall of this Hidden Rain Village. Only the wooden boss and distinguished guests can eat here...... With Xiao Xing serving all the distinguished guests here, I'll go down!" he said, and withdrew without waiting for Zhuang Zhou to speak.

Zhuang Thursday sat around the table. The girl who stayed behind immediately opened a bottle of red wine and poured a small glass for everyone. Li even saw the amber-like liquid in the goblet and was very curious. There is also wine in Yunmeng Mountain, but it is all rice wine made by the local method of the mountaineers in the village under the mountain, how has he ever seen red wine of this color? He thought that it must be a different flavor, but he didn't dare to drink it all at once, just waiting for Zhuang Zhou's order to taste it.

Zhuang Zhou, Yin Ji, and Ma Tianhu have seen this kind of worldly red wine. In the patriarch's room of Yunmeng Mountain, several bottles of such wine are stored. It was brought back to Yunmeng Mountain by Liu Canglong in the world, and it has been preserved to this day. And Zhuang Zhou has also tasted a little bit and knows that this red wine is not made in the world. It's from a foreign country.

Zhuang Zhou picked up the goblet, gestured, put it to his lips, and poured it slightly. Take a sip. Yin Ji and Ma Tianhu also followed. Only Li Geng, as soon as he saw Zhuang Zhou's cup, he couldn't wait to drink it all, but he didn't expect that as soon as the liquid entered his throat, a spicy smell rushed up, choking his nose, he hurriedly put down the cup, couldn't help coughing loudly, and said: "This ...... Ahem...... What a thing. It's so bad!"

Ma Tianhu and Yin Ji both laughed, and even Zhuang Zhou smiled slightly.

Ma Tianhu said: "Brother Li. You don't know, this is an exotic wine, how can you drink it like you!"

The girl on the side also covered her mouth and smiled.

Li Genghao couldn't stop coughing, and while wiping his tears, he said: "Everything is good in this world, but this wine is too unpalatable! It's still our Yunmeng Mountain's rice wine, clan ......" but he immediately heard Yin Ji's cough in his ears, and he immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, and his heart panicked, and the spicy taste in his throat seemed to disappear.

Zhuang Zhou squinted at the girl at the table and saw that there was nothing unusual on her face.

Zhuang Zhou was not afraid that Li Geng would reveal his identity, because since Mu Gaofeng knew himself, he didn't have to hide anything, but he didn't know much about Mu Gaofeng's attitude, and in this ambiguous state, he tried to insist on talking less and expressing his stance less.

Next, a meal passed in silence. In this process, Hu Jinzhong never showed up again, and the girl Xiaoxing next to her also kept silent, just scooping soup and adding rice to everyone just right, she obviously has undergone special training, as long as the diner has a subtle action, she can immediately understand, and step forward in time to help the diner complete, orderly, clean and neat!

Several times Li was embarrassed by the girl's thoughtfulness and meticulousness, and watched her with her empty hands awkwardly busy for herself. He was a peasant slave far away from the world, and he was called and drunk all his life, how could he have enjoyed such a princely and aristocratic treatment! He was only embarrassed and flustered at this meal, and he did not notice the quality of the food at all, but it was not as happy and free as he squatted in the field and ate a big bowl of coarse rice!

It turns out that eating can become such a painful thing!

Although Zhuang Zhou is the dream hunting patriarch, he is obviously relatively unfamiliar with this kind of service in the world. On Yunmeng Mountain, his three meals a day were delivered to the patriarch's room by a special person, and he ate alone, sometimes occasionally with Zhou Long and others, and no one had ever served like this. However, after all, he is different from Li Geng, although he is not used to it, he can accept it calmly, and there is no abnormality on his face.

Ma Tianhu grew up in the village under Yunmeng Mountain since he was a child, and later went to Yunmeng Mountain, naturally he has never enjoyed such noble treatment, he was amazed in his heart, but he pretended to be nothing.

Only Yin Ji, everything is as usual.

Finally, after finishing the meal, a few more women came in, silently put away the dishes and chopsticks, and cleaned up the table. Then a woman came in, carrying a large tray with several cups of tea on the tray, and Xiao Xing put the tea cup by cup in front of everyone. The tray woman went out, but Xiao Xing was still standing aside, smiling.

Zhuang Zhou frowned and looked at Yin Ji. Yin Ji understood, and said to Xiao Xing casually: "Xiao Xing, we have finished eating, you go down, it's tiring to stand here all the time!"

Xiao Xing bowed down and said, "Then I'll go out first, please feel free to tell me if you have anything!"

This made Zhuang Zhou and the others stunned, thinking that they would have to think of some way to take Xiaoxing away. Unexpectedly, as soon as she said that, she left. It's so easy, but it makes everyone feel a little weird.

After Xiaoxing left. There were only four people left in the hall, and it was quiet all around.

Zhuang Zhou took a sip of tea, paused for a moment, looked at Ma Tianhu, and said, "Senior Brother Ma, what did you find when you mentioned the woman named Yan Tong just now?"

Ma Tianhu said: "That woman is not ordinary!"

Zhuang Zhou smiled: "Why is it not ordinary?"

Ma Tianhu said: "I think this woman has practiced dream hunting. And at least to the level of a dream! I can't tell why I feel this way, maybe it's just an intuition!"

Zhuang Zhou nodded and said, "Senior Brother Ma is right, Yan Tong is indeed a cultivator!"

Yin Ji and Ma Tianhu both looked at Zhuang Zhou in surprise. Don't understand why he's so sure.

Zhuang Zhou took another sip of tea and said lightly: "Yes, I'm sure!" He didn't say why, Yin Ji and Ma Tianhu glanced at each other. Don't ask anymore. They had long been convinced of the patriarch, and even if they hadn't heard the patriarch's explanation, they still trusted the patriarch's judgment. They didn't know that Zhuang Zhou at this moment, the glance that Yan Tong looked at him when he first entered the hall came to his mind, and it was that glance that he knew Yan Tong's hidden strength.

The four of them were silent for a moment, and Yin Ji couldn't help but ask, "Why did Mu Gaofeng arrange a cultivator to be by our side and deliberately hide it?"

Zhuang Zhou smiled: "Senior Brother Yin." The last time you came to see Mu Gaofeng, was it also here?"

Yin Ji shook his head and said, "No." The last time I saw him, he didn't come here at all, and it was the first time I went to this Hidden Rain Village, and it was the first time I saw Hu Jinzhong and Yan Tong. Last time I was in the office on the eighth floor of his trading company......"

Zhuang Zhou said: "Oh, then why did he entertain us so grandly this time?"

Li Geng preemptively said: "That's naturally because the patriarch came to see him in person, can he not pay attention to it?"

Ma Tianhu squinted at him and asked, "Then why did he hide by himself again?"

Li Gengyi scratched his head and said, "I'm afraid he really encountered something urgent!"

Yin Ji shook his head and said, "I don't think it may be...... I always felt that there was something hidden beneath the surface courtesy, but I couldn't tell what it was......"

Zhuang Zhou leaned back in the chair and said, "Temptation!"

The other three all looked at each other, a little unclear. Yin Ji pondered for a moment and said, "Could it be to test the details of a few of us? He knew that the patriarch was going down the mountain, and he also made it clear that he was loyal to the patriarch last time, what else did he try?"

Zhuang Zhou shook his head and said, "You just listened to him last time, and you and I don't know what he thinks in his heart...... Just like me, although I heard you say that he was loyal to Yunmeng Mountain, I still had doubts about him, so I kept observing that Yu Wei along the way, knowing that he was not a cultivator, he was still a left-hander, on the surface, but he was a very ruthless person in his bones, but he didn't know anything about the relationship between Mu Gaofeng and us...... I also remembered the way up the mountain, there were eighteen big bends, and there was an uphill trail on the right side of the winding road, and this trail led to the back of the Hidden Rain Village, although the path was overgrown with weeds, but I think we could still consider it if there was an emergency......"

Zhuang Zhou said lightly, but the other three people were ashamed, they went up the mountain with Yu Wei, and they were dizzy by the mountain road along the way, and they didn't pay attention to anything!

I only heard Li Geng muttering quietly: "No wonder everyone says that the patriarch is a god descending from ...... earth."

Ma Tianhu glanced at him and said, "If he doesn't believe us, or is not as loyal to the patriarch as he says he is, then why doesn't he simply shut us out, why ......?"

Zhuang Zhou said: "I think he is still hesitating...... We are now like a piece of chicken ribs in his hands, tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it!"

Yin Ji finally understood a little and said: "It turns out that everything Mu Gaofeng did today, including deliberately avoiding us, bringing us here, and doing enough pomp, seems to have great respect for the patriarch, but in fact it is to test us, confuse us, find our weaknesses, and see our reactions...... He knew that we were all cultivators, so he didn't dare to test us through the Dream Hunting Technique......"

Zhuang Zhou shook his head again and said, "No, they have already found our weakness, and they will soon use the Dream Hunting Technique unscrupulously!"

Li Geng's face changed and asked, "When?"

Zhuang Zhou said: "Tonight!" (to be continued......)
