Volume 1 Wandering Rivers and Lakes Chapter 30 The Banquet Turmoil
Outside Luanping City, although the air was a little stuffy, the sun flames had already dissipated a lot, and everyone was in a hurry when they went, but there was no need to hurry back.
Lin Zining and Huang Dalin followed behind Huang Zhicai, and both of them carried a blanket with a lot of things in it.
In addition to buying medicinal materials, Lin Zining also bought a lot of rice, flour, fruits and vegetables, pork and mutton and other foods, although he bought all the medicinal materials for refining water and hemp, but he still remembered Baicaotang in his heart.
When she and Huang Dalin left Baicaotang, Zhao Yanru was still waiting for her master, Master Pingyuan. Lin Zining didn't know who would win between the Master Pingyuan and the Five Fowl Sanren, but he hoped that it was the Master Pingyuan, not that he had other ideas, but that he could see at a glance who was good and who was evil.
When everyone walked to Tawau, it was still Huang Zhicai who opened the water gate and returned to Chonghua Palace, Lin Zining wanted to thank Catfish Seventeen, and gave him a small gift he bought, which didn't cost much, but it was a little heart, and the courtesy was light and affectionate.
After the greetings, Lin Zining was about to go back to his residence, but Cat Seventeen stopped him: "Le Cheng, in the evening, you want to have a banquet in Doufu Palace, and the banquet will be held in the middle of the day, you go back and clean up, don't be late, you are the guest appointed by the king." ”
Lin Zining didn't know who Gou Yuan invited to the banquet and why he wanted to be a guest himself, but since it was Gou Yuan's handpick, Lin Zining naturally had no place to shirk.
Back at the residence, Lin Zining cleaned up a little and went to Doufu Palace for a banquet, and when he arrived at Doufu Palace, just after the unitary hour, he saw all the ordinary civil and military generals in Tawau. These people knew that Lin Zining was Gouyuan's new favorite minister, and they exchanged greetings with Lin Zining.
Lin Zining is humble, steady, and does not have the slightest sense of bridge. After chatting a few words, everyone saw Beng Yunfeng striding into the hall with his head held high, Lin Zining knew that Beng Yunfeng was a little dirty with him, so naturally he would not touch his moldy head.
The so-called stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, Lin Zining stepped forward to say hello as soon as he saw Beng Yunfeng, exchanged a little greeting with Beng Yunfeng, praised him a few words, and then dispersed out of the crowd and let the center of the hall out.
It didn't take long for Gou Yuan and Cat Seventeen to accompany a tall and thin white-faced man into the main hall, Lin Zining stood on the periphery of the crowd, and looked at it, Gou Yuan's distinguished guest was actually the five birds and scattered people he and Huang Dalin met in Luanping County today.
Lin Zining was shocked, how did the five birds become the distinguished guests of Gouyuan, where was the Master Pingyuan, and was he injured?
When everyone sat down, Qian Shuixie, the director of Doufu Palace, had already arranged for someone to serve the food.
Taking advantage of the serving, Gou Yuan coughed, and for a moment there was silence in the hall, and then Gou Yuan signaled to Cat Seventeen.
Cat Seventeen then got up and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the great sage of the human race, Changyu Wenqiu, once said, 'Friends come from afar, are you happy?' Today, there happened to be a distinguished guest from afar, so the king wanted to set up a banquet in the Doufu Palace, and by the way, let you see the demeanor of the hero. ”
Gou Yuan continued: "General Cat's words are very good, the five birds and I have known each other for many years, and they are close friends. You may not have heard of the Five Fowl Scattered People, but you must have heard the name Yang Ren, right? ”
Who is Yang Ren, is the envoy of the Chuzhou Patrol of the Baozhen Academy, this person became famous at a young age, he has resisted the invasion of barbarians in northern Xinjiang for more than 70 years, and is a well-known formation master in the world, I heard that he has entered the realm of rebirth as early as 50 years ago, and he can break through the Yuan Shen at any time and become a land immortal.
Although everyone here except Lin Zining is a water tribe, who would not know Yang Ren's prestige? But what does Yang Ren have to do with these five scattered people?
Seeing everyone's doubts and expectations, Gou Yuan didn't sell Guan Zi, and said directly: "Wuyu Sanren is Yang Ren's junior brother, and the two of them have been apprenticed to Lingde Zhenren in the Lingxu Palace of Jiangning in the southern capital since childhood. It's just that the five birds are not like his senior brother, who cares about the battlefield and officialdom, and has been like idle clouds and wild cranes for many years, happy to take revenge. Today, I can be visited by the five birds, which can be described as a flourishing and shining, everyone, let's drink a full cup first, and welcome the five birds and people. ”
Although Lin Zining was an escort, his status was not high, so he sat in the middle of the second row on the left, and in front of him happened to be Beng Yunfeng, and he didn't know who arranged it like this, not just a coincidence, but also deliberately.
As soon as he heard Gou Yuan's introduction, Lin Zining knew that the water of Tawau Lake still had a bottom, but the water of this Doufu Palace could not be explored.
Lin Zining raised his wine glass when he heard this, drank it all, but thought about it in his heart.
Unexpectedly, the five birds and scattered people turned out to be the same disciple of the Chuzhou Patrol Envoy of the Baozhen Academy, how could one person practice meritorious service to serve the country while defending the enemy on the battlefield, and one person cultivating evil skills and mutilating the people. And why is Gou Yuan so good with these five birds, is it possible that the two smell the same, but they are the same raccoon dog?
Also, even if Yang Ren is a great cultivator in the realm of rebirth, how can he compare with Gou Yuan, who has already cultivated the primordial spirit, and these five birds are not as good as his senior brother at first glance, why is Gou Yuan so respected?
Also, since the five birds have arrived in Tawau, where will the Master Pingyuan be? Will it also come to the door, and if it does, how will Gou Yuan treat each other?
It didn't take long for Gou Yuan to step down from the throne and walk to the side of the five birds, and told him that he wanted to introduce him to the young man, so he took his hand and walked to the Beng Yunfeng seat.
Beng Yunfeng saw that Gou Yuan was pulling the five birds to stand in front of him, and thought that Gou Yuan was going to introduce himself to the five birds, so he quickly got up, walked out of his seat, and stood beside the two.
Seeing Beng Yunfeng standing beside him, the five birds said to Gou Yuan: "This young man has a tiger's back and a strong body, he is really a talent." ”
Gou Yuan knew that Beng Yunfeng and the five birds were mistaken, so he smiled and said: "This is my brother-in-law, although he was a little stubborn in his childhood, his qualifications are good, and he will have to do something in the future." Yunfeng, don't hurry up and salute your seniors. ”
Beng Yunfeng saw that Gou Yuan praised himself in front of everyone, and he wanted to introduce himself to the distinguished guests, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed, immediately stood up straight, raised his head and said: "Boy Beng Yunfeng, I have seen Sanren, and I ask Sanren to give me advice." ”
Beng Yunfeng is also a powerful child in Tawau, although he is a little stubborn, but in the end there is still some background, and what he said is also quite decent.
When the five birds heard this, they smiled and said: "I am just like the sun sinking in the west, but the son of Beng is the rising sun in the east, how dare to say the word teaching, if he is free in the day, he can learn from each other." ”
Beng Yunfeng was overjoyed when he heard this: "He will definitely come to the door to ask for advice one day, thank you seniors." ”
The two went back and forth, and the matter came to an end.
But he didn't want Hook Yuan to suddenly point at Lin Zining and said: "Sanren, this is the young handsome Wang Lecheng I want to introduce to you, he is of the same clan as Sanren, but he was captured by two thieves a month ago and fled here for refuge." Le Cheng, come and see the scattered people. ”
As soon as Gou Yuan's words were finished, Beng Yunfeng and Lin Zining's faces were all over again, Beng Yunfeng's face turned purple, and the green tendons on his neck were even more violent, although everyone couldn't see Beng Yunfeng's hands covered by sleeves, but he could imagine that they must be held like stones.
And Lin Zining was first frightened, what was the intention of Hook Yuan's move, why did he introduce himself to the five birds in public, if he wanted to introduce himself to the five birds, he could naturally call himself in advance, and he had already come early.
Besides, Beng Yunfeng, if he were him, it would inevitably be misunderstood, Gou Yuan was going to introduce himself to the Wuyu Sanren, as Tawau-kun's brother-in-law, couldn't he think like this?
Gou Yuan asked Beng Yunfeng to introduce to the five birds, and it was extremely appropriate not to directly refute Beng Yunfeng's disposal. And he can also introduce himself to the five birds after the feast, why do he do this?
In this way, isn't it saying that Beng Yunfeng is shameless and smug? How is this different from humiliating Beng Yunfeng in public? Lin Zining knew that Beng Yunfeng would definitely not dare to talk about this matter on Gou Yuan's head, but would think that he had robbed him of the limelight, if he hadn't suddenly come to Tawau, he would definitely be infinite at this moment.
However, Lin Zining didn't understand, what was Gou Yuan's intention? Is it necessary for him to be so targeted? Or do you have to do something with yourself, an outsider?
Lin Zining had a lot of thoughts in his heart, but the movements under his feet were not slow at all, he quickly got up and bowed and said, "Boy Wang Lecheng, I've seen a scattered person." ”
Lin Zining knew that the fewer movements he had at the moment, the better, and the fewer words he had, the better. So he didn't squeeze to the front, and he didn't say anything more.
Seeing that Lin Zining was so cold, Gou Yuan took over and talked about how Lin Zining sorted out the library, how to set up formations, and how he became self-taught in a short period of time.
Lin Gou Yuan added another sentence: "I don't know anything about the scattered people, I will leave for the East China Sea the day after tomorrow to celebrate the birthday of the third prince Ao Bing." Therefore, tomorrow I will arrange for Le Cheng to take over the sorting out of the account inventory inside and outside the Doufu Palace, so that people can fall into my Tawau, which is really God's favor. ”
Gou Yuan's move is not known to scatter people, but what a shrewd person he is, isn't Gou Yuan's move to use Beng Yunfeng as a step and let Lin Zining step on it to establish his prestige?
No matter how distinguished you are, you don't need to call so many officials and generals in Tawau together to greet you? Besides, if you really want to introduce Lin Zining to yourself, do you have to act like this?
The five birds were not bad, and Gou Yuan used the false name of welcoming the five birds to officially introduce Lin Zining's new identity to everyone. Even in order to help Lin Zining establish authority, he did not hesitate to use his brother-in-law Beng Yunfeng as a step to let Lin Zining step on the top.
Gou Yuan just let everyone know that Lin Zining is his most trusted person, although he is a person of different races, but he just wants to reuse him. And for Lin Zining, Hook Yuan is also to cut off his thoughts from light and dust and block his back road.
If Gou Yuan blocks Lin Zining's last retreat from Tawau, Lin Zining will become the sharpest and most poisonous dagger in Gou Yuan's hands, even if he is not in Tawau, there is no need to worry about what waves Tawau will make.
As for Beng Yunfeng, if he is not humiliated in public, how can he be allowed to work?
