XIV. Deliberation
At this time, all kinds of guests from Tingyuxuan had gradually gathered, Chen Dabao took Chen Ran and followed a few people into the hall, Ma Ruliang saw this group of people, only smiled and arched his hand, and even got up and saluted.
After two or three people who like to pat on the back of the horse finished saluting, they still farted and stepped forward, but Ma Ruliang reacted coldly, so he walked back in a gray manner.
A butler-like person stepped forward to receive him and led Chen Dabao's group to a table of eight immortals in the corner of the hall.
Chen Dabao originally wanted to go to say hello to Ma Ruliang, but after seeing the encounter between the two licking dogs in front of him, he simply didn't go. I barely bothered to cheer up and be polite to each other at the same table.
A circle of people reported to themselves at the door, and two were the owners of the dart shop near the left; Three opened military attachΓ©s on both sides of the Yi River, specializing in training bodyguards for large families.
The most outrageous thing is that there are two other Qingpi lamas in Luoyang City, who specialize in assassination, kidnapping and other shady deeds. He also proudly called himself a thief.
The name "green skin" is very common in this world, which is equivalent to the mixed underworld in later generations.
Chen Dabao looked at the people at the table, except for the two dart game peers, what are the other things? At this moment, he has long lost the sense of self-satisfaction of being invited by Ma Ruliang, and there is only a sense of humiliation and anger in his heart that he is not taken seriously.
A green-skinned lama stood up and toasted Chen Dabao, and also brought Chen Ran with him. Chen Dabao didn't want to offend this kind of villain, so he replied with a face as usual. Being in the rivers and lakes, controlling one's emotions is a basic ability.
Those who can turn their faces at will at every turn have something to rely on behind them.
"Haha, Mr. Chen has a lot of darts head." The green skin smiled, and pointed the wine glass at Chen Ran again: "Shao Dart, let's have a cup too?" β
Chen An doesn't care about face like Chen Dabao, and he doesn't feel anything wrong with eating at the same table with this kind of green skin.
He hadn't drunk since he came to this world, and he had long wanted to taste the wine of Longquan Villa.
It is said that the water used in the brewing of Longquan Villa's fine wine is the unique mountain spring water of Longmen Mountain, and it is very fragrant and mellow to drink.
He raised his glass and saluted the green skin, and put it into his mouth, which was really sweet and mellow, and had a different taste.
After the wine went down, Chen Ran only felt a warmth rising in his body. At the same time, a line of information suddenly appeared in my mind:
[Energy +1]
'Huh? β
Chen Ran was overjoyed in his heart, this small glass of wine actually added a little bit of energy?
He poured another glass, and regardless of the others, he drank another glass to himself.
[Energy +1]
As soon as Chen Ran saw that there was a play, he began to pour and drink non-stop.
[Energy +1]
[Energy +1]
[Energy +1]
[Energy +1]
......
Chen Dabao was stunned and watched his son frantically pour himself a drink, and even wanted to blow into the pot. He was immediately stunned.
My son hardly drinks alcohol, what's going on today?
Qingpi on the side suddenly became anxious: "Chen Shaodart, you can't hold the wine jug and leave it alone, why don't you touch a glass with us, we still have to drink!" β
"Of course." Chen An stood up with a smile, still holding the wine jug in his hand. He poured a glass for everyone, starting with the green skin and toasting clockwise with the people at the table.
That's it, someone else's cup, he cups, others a cup, he cups.
The wine is turned into energy one by one. Miraculously, the energy points added by these drinks are always constant, and they are not discounted because Chen Ran drank too much.
This does not seem to be in line with the basic law that Kang Long has regrets and everything must be opposed.
Chen Ran faintly felt that his speculation on the law of energy point growth was wrong, and the factors that could really affect the growth of energy points had not been excavated.
But he can't think about it at the moment, it's important to drink, anyway, the rules will be slowly summarized in the future.
In just a short period of time, the two pots of wine on the table were already in their stomachs, and most of them were drunk by Chen Ran.
The people at the table looked at him with a lively expression, and this young dart head looked like his face was already red, his body was shaking, and he was about to make a fool of himself at any time. If you drink it again, it will definitely be lively and beautiful.
Chen Ran poured out the last glass of wine in the pot, took a sip, and then said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I finished drinking the wine, I'll go to the side to borrow some." β
Chen Dabao didn't know what medicine was sold in Chen Ran's gourd, and thought to himself, what is there to drink with these green skins?
He secretly regretted in his heart that when he came to tell Chen Ran to be more courteous and polite to the elders at the table, even if he didn't know how to drink, he had to toast more. At this moment, Chen Ran is indeed strictly implementing what he said, but he has carried it too far, and now his son looks like a poor bastard who has never drunk alcohol in his life.
This makes it seem to others that Changxing Dart Game seems to be eating bran every day.
Seeing that Chen Ran was going to borrow wine from another table, Chen Dabao was suddenly anxious, it's okay to be embarrassed at this table, you can't be embarrassed in circles, right?
He hurriedly grabbed Chen Ran, and could only say with a pleasant face in front of everyone: "Ran'er, you're almost drunk, don't drink anymore." β
The two of them were pulling when they suddenly heard a heavy cough in the middle of the hall, and the field immediately fell silent.
Everyone turned their heads to look together, only to see that Ma Ruliang, who was at the head of the hall, had already stood up, holding a glass of wine in his hand, ready to speak.
Father and son looked at each other, then sat down and listened quietly.
Chen Ran couldn't figure out what Ma Ruliang was doing when he gathered these darts and martial arts and people who fought them. He obviously doesn't look down on these small sects that can't be on the table, why do he still gather to eat? Or in an upscale place like Longquan Villa.
But now the mystery is about to be revealed.
I saw Ma Ruliang arch his hand in all directions, raised his wine glass and said: "Today, Ma invited all the heroes and heroes to gather all the masters inside and outside Los Angeles, which can be regarded as a grand event of martial arts in the Central Plains." You appreciate the light so much, Ma is grateful in his heart. Don't say polite words, it's a grand event, please drink this cup! β
"Mr. Ma, please!"
I saw the guests in the hall standing up and shouting together, and then raised their wine glasses.
And Chen Ran's table is not a drop of wine at the moment, everyone looks at the empty glass in front of them, and it is not lifted, and it is not lifted. They all looked embarrassed.
Chen Ran immediately took the opportunity to beckon to the housekeeper: "Youlao, the wine jug on this table is empty!" β
Hearing this, all the people in the hall looked over and looked surprised. I thought that the people at this table were too good to drink, but the host hadn't spoken yet, and the two jugs of wine on the table were empty?
Chen Dabao saw that the eyes of the whole hall were focused on this table, and he knocked his toes together in embarrassment for his son.
Ma Ruliang's face sank, and he glared angrily at the housekeeper, as if he was blaming the housekeeper for not doing his job well and letting the guests have no wine on the table.
The old butler wiped the sweat from his forehead, and at once took four jugs of wine from the cupboard, and poured wine for the man at the table as he confessed.
Finally, everyone's glasses were full, and everyone raised their glasses, shouted complicity, and drank them all.
After sitting down, Chen Ran inadvertently filled himself with another glass, and then took a sip.
[Energy +1]
[Energy +1]
'Happy. Chen Ran's heart was dark.
After drinking, I saw that Ma Ruliang in the distance did not sit down, poured himself another glass, and began to get to the point:
"You are all brothers from the dart industry, the martial arts industry and the fighting industry. Ma is a lay disciple of Shaolin Temple, although he is also a little famous in the rivers and lakes, but like you, he is also a dart. Not much better than you. β
As soon as he finished saying this, someone in the audience immediately complimented: "Mr. Ma's dart head is polite, and the dart line has already reached the peak of Mr. Ma's darthead." β
Ma Ruliang heard the compliment, smiled slightly, and said politely: "Don't dare to be at the top, it's too pretty." To do our kind of business, to put it bluntly, it is to go to the rivers and lakes to eat, no matter how big it is, it is just those powerful businessmen and servants of famous families. Since it is a low-headed business, I have to suffer some grievances. Brothers, over the years, we have been captured and plundered by mountain bandits, have we suffered for others, taken the blame for others, and even resisted for others? β
When they heard this, they were silent. Darts deliver letters to others, sleep in the open all the way, the roads are difficult and dangerous, and they frequently encounter bandits, needless to say. In the event of loss of goods, full compensation is also required.
Fighting and martial arts are to take care of people's homes and hospitals, and be the dogs of those high-ranking officials. Some unprincipled acts even have to do all kinds of dirty things for the powerful, kidnapping good families, killing people and destroying people, and when they are discovered, they will have to die and take the blame for others.
For ordinary people, these people are some powerful people who cause trouble. But for the powerful businessmen and famous factions, these people are just inferior people in the rivers and lakes.
Ma Ruliang saw everyone's expressions and knew that he had struck their hearts, so he smiled and said: "The world is so difficult, Ma has a way, I want to talk to you." β
"Mr. Ma doesn't need to be polite, please speak!" Everyone said.
Ma Ruliang's face became very solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Let's set up an alliance together. As long as the strength is condensed into one place, the rules of the rivers and lakes of these three industries will be formulated by us in the future. How is it? β
