Chapter 542: Birthday Banquet
"This ......"
The eldest brother in the four-armed sword demon frowned slightly:
However, this time the pursuit of Qingyuan Daozi ended in failure.
"Although Shi Pingzhang was recovered, Qingyuan and they couldn't get the complete formation map.
"But...... After all, you can't sit back and relax.
"Our brothers can stay here and continue to look for opportunities to assassinate Qingyuan!"
"This is the order of the Lord, do you dare to disobey the order?"
The voice of the man in black carried a hint of coldness.
The eldest brother among the four-armed sword demons changed his face, and immediately hurriedly said:
"The subordinates don't dare...... Just ......"
He paused slightly, and then said softly:
"The envoy never asked about the Thousand Forging Hall, why did the lord ask the envoy to give an order this time?"
"The Lord has been planning for this for more than 20 years, and now everything is about to succeed, this critical moment, even if it is a special case, what can it be?
"If you continue to be entangled here, and you spoil the good deeds of the lord, you may be able to bear it?"
The man in black turned around, his hands behind his back, and there was already anger in his voice.
"Yes...... The subordinates did not dare. The two of us set off for the Thousand Forging Hall. β
After the eldest brother among the four-armed sword demons finished speaking, he stood up and bowed, and then turned to leave.
After they had gone away, the black-robed envoy spoke:
"Bring people in."
Two men with short stature carried one of them over and put him on the ground.
The man's eyes were closed, his breathing was weak, and he was already dead.
It was Shi Pingzhang who was taken away by them.
The black-robed envoy waved his hand lightly:
"Go down."
"Yes."
The surrounding people did not dare to disobey and left one after another.
Turning around, the black-robed envoy looked at Shi Pingzhang, and after a slight groan, a murmuring voice came from under his black robe.
One by one, the pitch-black insects spread out like a tide, and in the blink of an eye, they rolled the Shi Ping chapter in it.
These insects burrowed into his body from his seven orifices, and Shi Pingzhang's body suddenly trembled.
I don't know how long the whole process lasted, and these black insects came out of the body of Shi Pingzhang, but they did not return to the black robe of the black-robed envoy.
Instead, he condensed under Shi Pingzhang's body, using insects as a bed to hold his body up.
The black-robed envoy slowly turned around and was about to leave, but at this moment, his steps suddenly stopped.
A man in a mask, who doesn't know when, was standing there.
Quietly looked at him.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
The area away from the country is not small, there are nine cities and eighteen states.
Nine cities are the largest nine state cities in the country, majestic and magnificent, extraordinary.
On the North Road Line, not long after a storm ended, Flying Star City in the Nine Cities ushered in a group of new guests.
"It is said that each of the nine cities in the country has an extraordinary city lord to protect the safety of the city.
"It's just that the position of the city lord is in the court but not in the opposition, and he asks about the people's livelihood rather than the rivers and lakes.
"Although these people can be regarded as top masters on the rivers and lakes, it is a pity that they rarely set foot in the rivers and lakes."
Tang Huayi held the candy man that Jiang Ran had just bought for her in her hand, and while eating, she looked at the surrounding scene curiously.
As one of the nine cities, Flying Star City is naturally very lively.
The streets are full of people coming and going, asking for buying and selling.
All kinds of vendors, all kinds of things sold, are not easy to see golden cicadas.
Tang Huayi felt that his eyes were not enough.
I want to see this, and I want to buy that.
But when you look at it, you don't pick a single thing.
The eldest princess is well-informed, and she has seen everything delicious, fun, and beautiful.
Naturally, there is no interest in these things.
The two of them love weapons.
Walking on the street, you can see some weapons made by blacksmith shops on the stalls for people to choose from.
There are also some clever pieces in the mechanism, which arouse the curiosity of the two girls.
Only Tang Shiqing really doesn't linger in her heart, she just follows Jiang Ran's side, wherever he goes, she follows.
The people of the Tong family followed Jiang Ran and the others all the way for a few days.
I thought that Su Qing's courtyard fell into the hands of this Demon Venerable, and the following days would definitely be very difficult.
Especially looking at the warbler Yanyan beside the Demon Venerable, it is difficult to say that he is not a womanizer.
So much so that Tong Hesheng was even more worried that he would have a bad heart towards Tong Yanlin.
After all, Tong Yanlin is his precious granddaughter, the pearl in his palm.
How to look at it, if your own baby is targeted by this wicked person, and you turn around and think about it, even if they are together, it will be difficult to stop it.
However, in the past few days, the people of the Tong family have gradually let down their guard.
Jiang Ran was not only not interested in Tong Yanlin, but also did not have any difficulties with Tong Hesheng and others.
There are occasional exchanges on weekdays, and this Demon Venerable is also quite modest and polite.
Even Tong He Sheng couldn't help but feel appreciation.
I feel that this person is indeed stronger than that Zhou Ye, I don't know how much...... If it weren't for the identity of the Demon Venerable, with his martial arts and demeanor, he would be a good match for his granddaughter.
At that time, this thought was fleeting.
He knew very well what the four words of the contemporary Demon Venerable represented.
Comparing him with Zhou Ye is an insult to Jiang Ran.
As for the granddaughter...... That's even more delusional thinking that can't be imagined.
Even if the Demon Venerable really had the intention, he didn't dare to fulfill it.
Fortunately, judging from the current situation, each other is the well water after all, and the river water does not interfere with the river water.
Now seeing Tang Huayi staring at these gadgets around him with a curious expression, the Tong brothers and sisters felt a little speechless when they looked at each other.
Listening to what the Demon Hades King said, this is the Holy Maiden of the Demon Sect.
How can she be like a wild girl in the countryside who has never seen the world?
Of course, this is also a matter of thinking about it in my heart, and no one dares to really say it.
The Demon Venerable can naturally be humble and polite, but he can also thunder and rage.
Don't think that if he smiles at you, you can be presumptuous...... Otherwise, those corpses of the Thousand Forging Hall, Zhou Ye almost slapped himself to death...... This is a lesson from the past.
And just as the thoughts in their hearts were sweeping, they noticed that Jiang Ran suddenly stopped and looked at them.
Tong Hesheng and the others tightened their hearts at the same time.
saw Jiang Ran smile:
"Childe, Miss, villains rarely go far away, don't you know that this Flying Star City is so lively every day?"
"This ......"
Tong Hesheng hesitated for a moment and said:
"Not really...... Normally, although it is lively, it is not as exaggerated as it is today. β
"That's it."
Jiang Ran stretched out his finger and pointed:
"You see, there's somebody there."
"Running water mat ......"
Tong Hesheng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly asked:
"What day is it?"
Tong Yanlin pinched his fingers and said:
"If you think about it, it's probably September 27 today."
"Twenty-seven."
Tong He Sheng patted his head and said:
"Being chased and killed all the way by this Thousand Forging Hall, I forgot that there is one more thing to do.
"Flying Star City, your grandfather Zhang's seventieth birthday on September 27.
"Let's go, since you're here, I'm going to take you ......"
At this point in his words, he suddenly paused, and secretly glanced at Jiang Ran and the others:
"This ...... This ......"
Jiang Ran smiled:
"Anyway, I went into the city to eat.
"You can eat anywhere.
"It's just that I don't know who this Zhang family is?"
Tang Shiqing said softly:
"The Zhang family in Flying Star City, the current old man's name is Zhang Wanshan.
"In his early years, he studied under the great sect of Haoxuanmen, and Yicheng went down the mountain with a pair of iron palms and a set of [72 road Haoyang hands] to lay the name of 'Iron Palm Zhang Wanshan'.
"People only get married when they are middle-aged, so they chose to open a mansion in this Flying Star City, and it has been more than 30 years.
"This man has two sons.
"The eldest son's name is Zhang Ruolin, and he should be thirty years old this year.
"Everyone has a good character, but his martial arts are mediocre, fortunately, Zhang Wanshan has a good network in the rivers and lakes, he makes friends on weekdays, and everyone also gives face, calling this Wang Ruolin 'Little Iron Palm', in fact, everyone knows that he can't support the faΓ§ade of this Zhang family.
"The second son is young, and he should be just over eighteen this year.
"This person's name is Zhang Ruohai.
"His youth is better than blue, and when he was only seven years old, he had already surpassed Zhang Ruolin in moves.
"In the past ten years, the internal and external refinement, and the martial arts have also advanced by leaps and bounds, and it is said that it has been far better than Zhang Wanshan in the past.
Therefore, the call for his inheritance is the highest.
However, this person is also stubborn because of his talent, and he has had several bad deeds, all of which have been smoothed down by Zhang Wanshan.
"Finally...... Zhang Ruolin also has a son, but he is only six years old this year. β
Tang Shiqing spoke eloquently, but Tong Hesheng's face was a little ugly.
This old friend of Flying Star City, the situation at home was casually told by this demon sect woman.
It can be seen that on weekdays, this demon sect has never stopped snooping on this river and lake.
Jiang Ran touched his chin and said:
"I see...... Master Tong, you should know what to say and what not to say, right? β
ββ¦β¦ This, it's natural. β
Tong Hesheng nodded hurriedly.
As far as Jiang Ran's temperament is concerned, if he talks nonsense in this regard.
It was by no means Jiang Ran who was unlucky...... It's Zhang Wanshan's family.
Now he and the juniors around him have fallen into the hands of this person.
Why bother to bother old friends again?
Thinking of this, he even felt a lot less inclined to participate in the banquet.
was trying to find an excuse to persuade Jiang Ran to have a meal and then leave...... Then I heard a voice at the end of the street:
"It's Tong Shibo in front!?"
When everyone at the scene turned around, they saw a man in his thirties, standing tall, looking towards this side with surprise in his eyes.
Tong Hesheng secretly said bitterly in his heart.
It is rare to see on weekdays, this Flying Star City is not small, and today the Zhang family should also be busy welcoming visitors from all over the world.
Zhang Ruolin, the dignified son of the family, how could he be here?
However, when you see it, you can't pretend not to see it.
I had no choice but to laugh dryly:
"It turned out to be Wakabayashi."
When Zhang Ruolin heard Tong Hesheng speak, he immediately flew over to him, and said as he walked:
"Tong Shibo, you can come.
"My father was at home early this morning...... complained, saying that this is seeing that the birthday banquet is coming, why haven't you seen your old man?
"I was even instructed to go out and look for it, are you ...... Are you old and forgot where the door of the Zhang family is? β
ββ¦β¦ The stinky boy spoke subtly. Will he complain? I'm afraid that when I get up in the morning, I will scold my mother, saying that the old man will not come to congratulate him on his seventieth birthday regardless of the affection of the past, right?
"Hmph, as for saying that you can't find the door when you're old.
"This is still a nice saying, as far as his broken mouth is concerned, most of them are scolding the old man and his old eyes are dizzy."
Tong Hesheng snorted.
Zhang Ruolin laughed dryly:
"Tong Shibo, where are you talking about this?
"How could my father say that about you...... These two are Renjie and Yan Lin, right?
"It's grown so big in a blink of an eye."
Tong Renjie and Tong Yanlin glanced at each other and hurriedly saluted:
"I've seen Uncle Shi."
"No courtesy, no courtesy."
Zhang Ruolin waved his hand, and then looked at Jiang Ran and his party who were standing not far away, a little surprised:
"Who are these?"
"They are the disciples of my Tong family, and they have walked the rivers and lakes with the old man this time to increase their knowledge."
Tong Hesheng hurriedly said.
"I see, they are all handsome and handsome, and their temperament is outstanding.
"It's enviable."
After casually complimenting him, he hurriedly said:
"Don't gossip here, the birthday feast is about to start, come with me."
Tong Hesheng glanced at Jiang Ran, and when he saw him nodding slightly, he said helplessly:
"Okay, that's it, please ask the virtuous nephew to lead the way."
Zhang Ruolin agreed, and then led everyone in the direction of Zhang's house.
While walking, he chatted with Tong Hesheng.
Jiang Ran and the others hung behind them, looking at both sides of the street, and the flowing water seats along the way also saw a fresh and lively look.
In a blink of an eye, he had already arrived in front of Zhang's house.
This door is also lively inside and outside.
It's just that birthday greetings are not the same, and not everyone is qualified to enter Zhang's house.
So there are far more people on the outside than there are on the inside.
Zhang Ruolin led everyone directly into the gate.
Inform the housekeeper and say that the iron-walled Canglong Tong He Sheng has arrived.
As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused everyone in the courtyard to watch.
Someone immediately stood up and saw the old man.
Seeing this, the eldest princess grinned:
"Look at this Tong He Sheng, groveling in front of you, but forgetting that he is actually a big man in the rivers and lakes."
Of course, the iron-walled dragon is a big shot.
It's just that this big man also has to look at who he compares with, his status may be higher than most of the people in the field today, but in front of Jiang Ran, it is not worth mentioning.
Jiang Ran nodded lightly, his eyes swept away, but he didn't follow to see the excitement.
Instead, he found an empty table and sat down.
However, Tang Huayi did not pester Jiang Ran this time, but followed Tong Yanlin's side.
After all, although what Tong Hesheng said was good, who knows how to do it behind his back?
Someone still has to look at it.
Seeing this, Jiang Ran glanced at the Demon Crossing Hades.
When the Demon Crossing King saw the wine and food, he was about to smile, but he found that the Venerable Lord's eyes were wrong.
After looking at each other, both eyes are question marks.
Jiang Ran sighed, and said in his heart that this Hades King Lu Zhi, one day he didn't like him, so he would kill him in exchange for silver.
Xu was because Jiang Ran was vicious in his heart, and the Demon Hades King felt the crisis of life and death, and at this moment, he suddenly blessed his heart, and immediately stood up and followed behind Tong Hesheng.
In this way, the female dependent, Tong Yanlin, has Tang Huayi to follow.
Tong Hesheng was followed by the Demon Hades.
This can barely ensure that it is not lost.
Jiang Ran casually poured himself a glass of wine, and heard someone next to him say:
"The Zhang family is also a peak loop, although the eldest young master is not a weapon, but the second young master is extraordinary, he is young, and he already has a deep fire in his internal and external refinement.
"Even if the old man is a hundred years later, the second son of Zhang can support the Zhang family for a hundred years."
Jiang Ran followed this person's eyes and saw a group of people coming out of the door.
The leader is an old man, who is not a few years different from Tong Hesheng.
stepped forward quickly, shouted and scolded, complaining that Tong He Sheng was late.
People are rare for 70 years, who knows how many days they have to live, and they don't get together more while they are alive.
As he spoke, he almost burst into tears.
And next to him, walking side by side with him, was a middle-aged man.
This person should be in a high position all the year round, and he will not be angry but mighty.
But I don't know who it is......
On the other end, one position difference from Zhang Wanshan is a young man.
The appearance is delicate and quite chic, but there is three points of cunning in his eyes, his gaze sometimes sweeps over Tong Hesheng's body, and sometimes falls on Tong Yanlin's body, I don't know what I am thinking.
Jiang Ran picked up the chopsticks, thought about it slightly, shook his head, and didn't take it to heart.
Just eating and drinking on your own.
At this time, Tong Hesheng and others had been introduced into the main hall by this old man Zhang.
I think there's a lot of excitement inside.
Jiang Ran poured wine casually, ate and drank at will, and didn't care.
The people who came to drink and feast naturally didn't care about what was going on inside, and the chaos outside was enough to attract their attention.
When you drink alcohol, you can easily lose your mind, and problems that would not have been exposed after losing your mind will also be inexplicably exposed.
Some people are singing, some people are quarrelling, and some people are fighting...... Fortunately, it is the Zhang family here after all, no matter what you do, if it is excessive, someone will come to stop it, so that no one will die.
It was almost time, Jiang Ran was about to let Shiqing shout, and let Tong He Sheng and them prepare, it was time to leave......
I heard a wild laugh coming from overhead.
When everyone looked up, they saw Zhang Ruohai, the second son of the Zhang family, who was still following Zhang Wanshan before eating, at this moment, wearing only a pair of obscene pants and standing shirtless on the roof.
Shouted:
"I'm a shameless person, I'm a womanizer, I'm shameless to face the rivers and lakes, I'm a scum!!"
After saying that, he jumped off the roof with a wild laugh and slammed it to the ground.
Everyone was speechless for a while, what is the situation?
Zhang Ergongzi, this is ...... Lost your mind?
Jiang Ran was stunned, this second son Zhang was clearly in the heart of the devil.
But Tang Huayi will not make a move for no reason......
Just thinking about it, I saw a figure stumbling out of the main hall, and it was Tong Yanlin.
With tears in her eyes, she looked around and saw a long sword being placed on the table, and immediately came to her and snatched it, choking the long sword out of its sheath:
"I'll kill you, thief!!"
She angrily took out her sword and pointed it at Zhang Ruohai.
Jiang Ran couldn't take his eyes off the excitement, and felt that there was one more person beside him, Tang Huayi chuckled:
"Brother-in-law, you don't even know what I just saw...... If I hadn't made a timely move, the Tong family and the Zhang family would have to marry an in-law who was inferior in generation. β
