Chapter 44: The Feast of the Hung Gate I

The Sima clan was the most prominent nobleman in the Xiaqiu Kingdom, and even the royal nobles could not compare with him. β—‹ Because the successive heads of the Sima family are not only the king's teachers, but also their father-in-law's identity, which is enough to overwhelm all the nobles.

The rumbling thunder resounded in the sky, a dazzling lightning bolt pierced the sky, and a hideous image appeared in the dark clouds! The wind was blowing in all directions, and a large amount of sand and dust was mixed in the wind, making Shangqiu City feel like it was in a fog, and it was impossible to see the person on the other side from a little distance.

The carriage galloped in the wind, with a large script in block letters on the swaying wind lamp, and a hideous and roaring wolf's head painted on the back. The smell of fishy accompaniment accompanied the horses, and the guards of the Demon Wolf Cavalry Regiment followed closely behind.

Long Yunzhou and Gu Fengyun sat in the car, next to them were Huangfu Ying who closed his eyes and Xuanyuan Yu, who was bored and looked out the window. At the invitation of Liu Qing, they followed Hu Bao to Sima's house to secretly protect Hu Bao's safety.

The rest of the people from the Heavenly Dao Academy stayed in Hu Mansion, firstly, it was redundant for people like Bailitian and Mo Sanpang to go, and secondly, Lingyun was at the critical moment of detoxification, and he needed the protection of a good hand like Nangong Yun. Therefore, in the Heavenly Dao Academy, the four most combat-effective people followed the Hu Leopard's team with the carriage.

Even if the wind and dust were full of wind and dust, when the sky was a thunderbolt, Hu Bao and Liu Qing still insisted on playing in the way of military generals. It's not just their character, it's more important that they can't let their opponents down in terms of momentum. Tonight was a lot of bad luck, and they couldn't help but go to the feast.

After all, Sima Hui invited them under the slogan of feasting for the king of Xiaqiu Kingdom, if they didn't go, then the crime of contempt for the king would definitely not be able to escape. So knowing that it was dangerous, they were also imperative and had to go.

"It's a dark night, and it's a good day to kill people and sell goods. Xuanyuan Yu lowered the curtain of the carriage, he no longer wanted to see the sandstorm sky in the Qiu Kingdom.

Long Yunzhou rolled his strange eyes and said angrily: "Boss, can you not say such frustrating words." You can't think about the future better, maybe the owner of the Sima family will be a humble gentleman, tonight is an ordinary dinner, after eating, let's bring some local specialties and touch the belly and go home. ”

"I'm really worried about your innocence that exists all the time, why haven't you seen it for so long, and your brain has not been enlightened?" Xuanyuan Yu showed great regret, sighed and said: "I found that your brain is as big as a walnut, and you still don't understand the cruelty of this world." Could it be that your new master is just as naΓ―ve as you?"

At the mention of the new master, Gu Fengyun, who had been sitting on the side and had not spoken, coughed dryly. This can be regarded as poking at his sore spot, and it is the first time in his life that he has been robbed of his apprentice, and he has to honestly hold back his anger in his heart.

"Ahem, Yunzhou, Ling ...... Uncle Ling had already said when he went out, let's take good care of the two of them. The favors owed to others must be repaid, not to mention that this is likely to involve the stability of the Xiaqiu Kingdom. The demon attack is imminent, and we have to try to win over all the available manpower, and we can't scatter it anymore. ”

Gu Fengyun always felt very awkward when he mentioned Ling Yun, and it took him a long time to finish speaking. The carriage was bumpy up and down, and the whirring wind blew in from time to time through the cracks, and the entire Xiaqiu country was in a state of wind and rain.

As the crowd spoke, the carriage slowed down. The four people in the car were not talking, and their whole bodies exuded a faint murderous aura, they knew that the Sima family should be there.

The leopard waved his hand, and the procession behind him was in unison, and even the carriage stopped at the same time.

All kinds of carriages were parked in front of the huge mansion of the Sima family, with the surnames of their respective masters written on the wind lanterns, and the family members and guards they brought with them were guarding their respective carriages, as if they were independent small camps.

"It seems that Sima Hui really went to great lengths, saying that he was inviting us to a banquet alone, but there are really a lot of people who accompany the wine. Hu Bao looked at the convoy in front of Sima Mansion one by one with contempt, many of them were his opponents, but there were also some usually moderate neutrals.

"Be careful in everything, and if anything is wrong, let's leave immediately. My men and horses can arrive outside the city gate before dawn, and when the time comes, we will meet your demon wolf cavalry, we will all go to the world, will we still be afraid of Sima Hui?" Liu Qing's face was full of vigilance, and he faintly felt Sima Hui's malice. But what it was, he couldn't tell for a while.

The wind swept up the swirling vortices, and a small group of people ran in front of Sima's mansion. The first person with a soft hat on his head and a flattering smile on his face was Sima Lang, the chief butler of Sima Mansion.

"General Hu, General Liu, the two of you have finally arrived. The head of the house told me to wait here even if there is a knife in the sky, and the old men in the house have already arrived. Sima Lang smiled and bent over, reaching out to hold the reins for Liu Qing.

Everyone knows that the wild wolves in Hu Mansion only obey the orders of the demon wolf mercenaries, and if anyone who doesn't have long eyes touches the wild wolf like a dog, it is a trivial matter to be swallowed half of his body. This Sima Lang was very eye-catching, and grabbed Liu Qing's reins, he didn't want to be like that wild wolf.

Hu Bao and Liu Qing dismounted, didn't talk nonsense, glanced at the four of Long Yunzhou who followed behind the team, and then walked towards the gate of Sima Mansion.

"General Hu, General Liu, please wait. Sima Lang hurriedly chased after him, and the sand and gravel kept blowing on his face, but his smile still didn't change.

"What's the matter? Didn't you say that the old man was waiting for the two of us?" Hu Leopard raised his head unruly, deliberately raised his voice and said the two words of the master, and the demon wolf mercenaries behind him all raised their heads and laughed.

In the eyes of the demon wolf mercenaries, almost all the people who are called masters are waste. In Xiaqiu Country, a place that advocates force, only the strong are respected, and as for the old men who are pampered and play tricks every day, they are not looked down upon by these martial artists.

Sima Lang hurriedly shook his head, and said with a smile: "General Hu, don't get me wrong, the old man has indeed waited for a long time." It's just that General Hu and General Liu can go in alone. You see, when the other lords came, the retainers were waiting outside. The head of the family said that today is a gathering between nobles, and those who have no status should not enter. ”

Sima Lang spoke humbly, pointing to the carriages parked on the side. There were a team of more than a dozen people standing next to the carriage or a team of dozens of people, all of whom were the subordinates of the nobles who came to the banquet.

"The rules of the Sima family are so big. Liu Qing looked at Sima Lang mockingly, not allowed to bring the guards into the door, there was already a cat in the middle, and he kept glancing at Hu Leopard.

"Okay, if you don't bring it, you won't bring it. I Hu Leopard came and went in the wind and rain, fought thousands of times on the battlefield, and went to the corpse mountain and sea of blood, are you still afraid of this Sima Mansion?" Hu Leopard didn't look at Liu Qing to look at him, and turned his head and ordered: "Brothers, wait at the door, wait for me to go to Sima Mansion, and invite everyone to drink at night." ”

The demon wolf mercenaries let out a cheerful cry, these people are all martial artists, as long as there is wine to drink and someone kills, life is the most valuable.

Liu Qing was anxious, thinking that Hu Leopard, you are too reckless, this is the Longtan Tiger's Den, do not bring an escort to enter, what if something happens.

"These ........." Suddenly, Sima Lang pointed to the four of Long Yunzhou, all of whom were wearing ordinary civilian clothes and no armor. But they had been following Hu Bao and Liu Qing, and Sima Lang didn't know whether to stop him for a while, because Sima Hui instructed him to just let Hu Bao and the demon wolf mercenaries come in.

"Oh, they are my friends, they are coming to Xiaqiu Kingdom for the first time, and they want to follow me to Sima Mansion to see the world. Liu Qing suddenly reacted, and there were four masters around them. The signboard of the Heavenly Dao Academy is the first-class gold-lettered signboard on the Dragon Soul Continent, and with the people of the Heavenly Dao Academy by his side, he is still afraid of the ambush of Sima Mansion.

Sima Lang groaned slightly, and the leopard on the side already showed an impatient look: "In the end, let me go or not, if we don't let in, we'll leave." If Sima Hui asks me back, I can honestly say that you didn't let us in. ”

Sima Lang was stunned for a moment, and immediately said with a smile: "Why don't you let me in, since you are a friend of General Liu, then please go in to the banquet together." Our head of the family is a hospitable person and has always liked to visit friends from all over the world. Everyone, please come in. ”

Sima Lang saw that the four of Long Yunzhou were dressed plainly, and they were not very athletic. It looks like an ordinary person, he shouldn't be a master of physical training, so it doesn't hurt to let them in, even if the head of the family sees it, he won't blame him. But if these four inconsequential people let Hu Bao and Liu Qing go, then his sin would be great.

Hu Leopard snorted coldly, responded to Sima Lang with his chin contemptuously, turned his head and strode towards Sima Mansion. Long Yunzhou and the four of them looked at each other and walked in.

They all deliberately hide their aura to make them look no different from ordinary people. What's more, this Sima Lang only knows the masters of physical training, but he doesn't know that except for Xiaqiu, there are more qi cultivation and cultivation abroad, so naturally he doesn't care about them.

The Sima Mansion is magnificent, and the gate alone is divided into a middle gate and two side gates. There are many guards in front of the door, and the tall plaque has two big characters written on it, just like the royal palace.

Crossing the middle hall, the buildings and pavilions in the Sima Mansion, the perfume pavilion, there are often deep paths on both sides of the avenue, leading to the twists and turns of the unknown place. The house was full of servants walking with their heads bowed, all of them respectful and fast-moving, and they were busy and busy.

Sima Lang led Hu Bao and the others through countless corridors and across one courtyard after another. Finally, I came to a lotus pond where lotus flowers bloomed.

The grand music sounded melodiously, the sound of the conversation between the guests and the host came and went, and the graceful woman danced on a high platform in the lotus pond, surrounded by silk and satin, blocking the wind and sand.

Outside, the sand is flying in the sky, but here it is quiet and there is not even a trace of wind, only the smell of wine and music is spreading, and only beautiful legs and beautiful women are dancing.

"General Hu, General Liu is here!" Sima Lang stood at the entrance of the banquet and announced loudly, his voice was as long as a giant whale sucking water!

The music stopped abruptly, and all the dancers on the stage knelt down. The grand banquet stopped at this moment, and Sima Hui, who was dressed in brocade and jade belt, slowly stood up on the high platform in the distance!
