Chapter 553: Duan Mansion Drinking Banquet
August 15, Mid-Autumn Festival.
The sun had not yet set, and a full moon had already appeared in the eastern sky.
Jianyun Mansion, which had been noisy all day, finally calmed down, but the festive atmosphere still roamed the streets and alleys.
The aroma of stewed chicken and stir-fried meat is everywhere.
Everywhere there was the laughter of family reunions.
Zhang Chu strolled on the streets of Jianyun Mansion, looking east and west with a smile on his face.
He loved the vibe.
Although the festive atmosphere of Jianyun Mansion has nothing to do with him.
But he just likes it.
Likes to be lively.
Love pyrotechnics.
He felt that he would never be able to live a lonely life in the mountains in his life.
He is still wearing a simple white robe today, except for the hollow silver crown that binds his hair, and he has no very valuable outfit, looking like a poor scholar.
There was Da Liu behind him.
But Da Liu has also been wearing a dark color suit without any patterns for many years, wearing an ordinary hundred refining Yanling knife, a clumsy person, looking at him is also a thug who cares for the home...... It's still a very low-level kind of nursing home.
The two of them walked through the streets and alleys and went straight to the county warden's mansion in the center of the city.
As soon as they approached the center of the city, before they could see the shadow of the county guard's mansion, the two of them saw a crowd of carriages and looked in the same direction.
Seeing this, Zhang Chu took the initiative to walk to the side of the road, loaded these with gold and silver, and saw that the people in the car were either rich or expensive carriages to give way.
Da Liu stood on tiptoe and looked in the direction where these carriages were going, and said in a puzzled voice: "Didn't you say a family banquet?"
Zhang Chu said casually and softly: "No matter how much he does, I'm just going to have a meal, and after eating, I'll talk to this county guard, and it's over......"
Da Liu thought about it and felt that it was right, so he closed his mouth and did not open his mouth again.
The two walked slowly to the outside of the county guard's mansion, and saw half a long street, which was already full of carriages.
A greasy middle-aged man with fat brains and gorgeous clothes walked out of the carriage with a smile on his face, and bowed his hands everywhere, all kinds of humility to the gate of the county guard's mansion.
And at the gate of the county guard's mansion, a large number of people were already crowded.
Seeing this kind of battle, Zhang Chu stopped his pace and gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, you Liang Yuanchang, this matter, there are no two or two 'sword hairs', it is not over!"
Da Liu looked at this kind of battle speechlessly, and said in a loud voice: "Master Chu, shall we still go?"
He knew that this was the kind of occasion that annoyed the eldest brother the most......
"Go, why don't you go!"
Zhang Chu gritted his teeth and said: "It's all here, go back now, isn't it a retreat!"
When the two of them walked outside the county guard's mansion, they saw an old man like a housekeeper standing outside the door checking the invitation.
Zhang Chu didn't want to fight with those businessmen, eunuchs and the like, so he led Da Liu to wait on the side.
After a while, the crowded merchants and eunuchs outside the gate finally decreased.
Da Liu stepped forward, took out the invitation card from his arms, and handed it to the housekeeper at the door.
The invitation was sent by Liang Yuanyuan last night, and Zhang Chu drank with Niu Thirteen last night and didn't read it.
The old butler, whose beard was gray, opened the invitation card and glanced at it, and a smile quickly appeared on the old man's face, and he said loudly in an exaggerated tone: "It turned out to be the young master cousin, please come inside, please inside, little third son, come and lead the way for the young master!"
As soon as his words fell, a young man in Tsing Yi who was standing outside the door to greet the guests sneaked into the door.
His movements are hidden.
But what kind of people Zhang Chu and Da Liu are, how can this little action be hidden from him.
Da Liu glanced back at Zhang Chu.
Zhang Chu was expressionless and had nothing to say.
Seeing this, Da Liu turned around and arched his hand: "There is Lao Lao!"
The old butler shook his hand casually without sincerity: "The one who comes is a guest, please." ”
While the two were talking, a young man in Tsing Yi bowed down to Zhang Chu and made a gesture of "please": "Young Master Cousin, please inside." ”
Zhang Chu walked up the steps with an expressionless face and walked towards the county guard's mansion.
Da Liu habitually kept up with Zhang Chu's pace.
Unexpectedly, the old housekeeper suddenly stretched out his hand, stopped Da Liu, and said with a false smile: "Little brother, this is the banquet of the master's family, let's not go in......
Zhang Chu stopped and said without looking back: "He is not a subordinate, he is my brother!"
After that, he strode towards the county guard's mansion, he wanted to see what kind of Longtan tiger's den this county guard's mansion was!
Da Liu heard that there was already a bit of anger in his eldest brother's tone, and without hesitation, he waved away the old housekeeper in front of him and kept up with Zhang Chu's pace.
"Hey, hey, young master, don't break into the county guard's mansion!"
The old housekeeper shouted a few times at the door, as if he had taken root under his feet, and he didn't mean to catch up with Da Liu at all.
The county is deep and secluded.
In the twilight garden, rockeries and plants form layers of shadows.
The young man in Tsing Yi led Zhang Chu and Da Liu along the pavilion corridor full of red lanterns and walked all the way to the depths of the county government.
After passing through several walls, a loud voice of people was heard.
The banquet was held by a lotus pond with a faint fragrance of osmanthus flowers, and more than ten banquets were full of friends, and it was very lively.
"Young Master Cousin, please come here!"
The young man in Tsing Yi stepped forward and made a gesture of please.
Zhang Chu followed his guidance and walked to the banquet hall.
But when he walked in front of a clump of green bamboos, Zhang Chu suddenly heard a low humming sound of "bang".
Very familiar!
Before Zhang Chu could react, Da Liu, who had been tense and nervous, had already stepped forward and blocked his side.
"Khooth. ”
The knife flashed, and a heavy strip-like object flew out by Da Liu.
Zhang Chu glanced at it.
Six feet long.
Coarse with eggs.
Stainless steel throughout.
A sharp head.
Bed crossbow bolts defending the city......
"Hahahaha...... Look at him like that, he's going to pee!"
A burst of laughter rang out in the green bamboo.
The voice is young.
"Hahaha......"
A burst of rampant laughter followed.
Zhang Chu slowly turned around, and saw a group of young men in brocade clothes, wearing gold on their heads and wearing jade on their waists, clapping their hands and jumping out of the green bamboo.
The leader wore a golden crown and a green brocade robe, and carried a long sword inlaid with jade at his waist.
They pointed at Zhang Chu, laughing as if no one was around.
It's as if you're looking at a monkey in a suit.
Da Liu blushed, squeezed the Yanling knife in his hand, and gritted with steel teeth.
The movement here alarmed the banquet over there.
A burly old man with a tall physique, a square face, a purple civilian dress, and a silverfish bag around his waist walked out of the banquet and rebuked with a displeased face: "Nonsense, don't you hurry up and compensate the guests!"
When the boy in green heard this, he reluctantly bowed his hand and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't shoot you!"
The scene was very stiff.
Seeing this, the burly old man in the room said lightly: "Hou Sheng, take a seat, it's time to start the banquet!"
When the businessmen and eunuchs at the banquet heard the rumors, they all quietly exchanged heads and whispered to each other, speculating about Zhang Chu's identity.
They are not blind, the posture of the county guard is clearly aimed at the young man in the white robe!
Zhang Chu didn't move.
He didn't even look at the burly old man.
With a smile on his face, he looked the young man in green up and down...... Well, a good pair of skins were born in vain!
He has always had an excellent memory.
At a glance, he recognized this boy in green, who was the young man who galloped out of the city gate when he entered the city that day.
Senior sister, that husband is ...... What's going on?
Well, it doesn't matter, anyway, it's the son of the senior sister and his man's concubine......
"Too young!"
He sighed and said lightly: "If you want to kill someone, how can you use a bed crossbow?
When the green-robed boy heard this, he said unconvinced: "With the eight-bull crossbow, I'm afraid of shooting you!"
Zhang Chu smiled: "Oh, it turns out that you don't dare to kill me......"
"Then I'll spare your life. ”
"Da Liu, cut off his hand. ”
When Da Liu heard this, he pounced without hesitation for a second, and cut off the hand of the green-clothed boy who was still stunned...... Elbow snapped!
"Smack. ”
The white arm fell to the ground.
Red blood poured out of the severed hand like a fountain.
Seeing this, the burly old man in the room jumped up with angry eyes: "You dare!"
However, as soon as he jumped up, an overwhelming golden flame sword qi smashed over like a mallet.
The burly old man was shocked when he saw this, and he burst into a shout, and a brown energy rose into the sky.
At the same time, two loud shouts rang out during the banquet, and two figures rose into the sky from the banquet, one on the left and one on the right to protect the burly old man.
"Boom. ”
The earth shakes and the mountains shake.
In the brilliant halo, three figures spit blood and flew back, smashing over seven or eight banquets.
"Stay steadfast, I'll finish cooking him, and I'll talk to you again!"
