Chapter 122: Going to the Feast
Back at the inn, after talking to Li Mubai, Tieyun father and son soon settled down under the arrangement of the shopkeeper Wang.
"Brother Wang, what do you think?" Li Mubai sat at the table in the middle of the living room and handed an invitation to Wang Ye and Zhou Xingyu.
Wang Ye took the invitation and looked at the content on it.
'To Brother Li Mubai:
I heard that my brother is temporarily living in Hongyao Town, my brother is famous, and my little sister has admired him for a long time, so I specially invited me to come to the house.
Qin Yumian'
"Qin Yumian of the Qin family, since she was a child, she has followed the head of the Qin family to learn the way of doing business, and my father also praised her, but I don't know her face with her, why did she send me this letter? Also, why did the Qin family come to such a remote place, or did Qin Yumian go out in person? Li Mubai frowned slightly, and his heart was full of doubts.
Just when he was puzzled, Zhou Xingyu on the side said: "I roughly guessed the reason." ”
Seeing the eyes of the two looking at him, Zhou Xingyu told the two of them in detail about his experience of going out today.
"Therefore, I guess that the Qin family didn't succeed in kidnapping people, thinking that the Li family made a move, and knowing that the strength of the Li family is not weak, it will definitely not be successful, so I made such a move."
After listening to Zhou Xingyu's words, Wang Ye shook his head and said: "The Li family is acting like this, it really violates the principle of doing things above board, and they actually want to coerce their son to force their father, and their behavior is too despicable. ”
Because he was born in a famous and decent family, Wang Ye has never violated the rules of the sect in his work, and strives to be above board.
In his opinion, this behavior of the Qin family is not much different from those bandits who rob homes and houses.
Li Mubai's eyes revealed a trace of incomprehension, he nodded and said: "In this way, Qin Yumian invited me to the banquet, it must be because of the matter of Fire Lingzhi." ”
He turned his head to look at Wang Ye and Zhou Xingyu and asked, "Brother Wang, Brother Zhou, do you think I want to sell the face of the Qin family." ”
Although the Qin family is not weak, but the Li family is stronger, if the two do not agree, he only needs to write a letter by hand, and refuse it, even if the Qin family is angry and refuted, it doesn't matter what happens to his Li family.
As for the fire lingzhi, Zhou Xingyu and Wang Ye also told him that the fire lingzhi is a medicinal material that the two of them are bound to obtain, and they must succeed this time no matter what.
Of course, the relationship between the three of them is good, and those who see it have a share, if they can successfully refine the elixir, they will naturally have a share of him in the end.
This kind of elixir refined by heaven and earth treasure is a good product for martial artists to gain the realm of martial arts, but it is not only for those who practice martial arts can take it, they are ordinary people who have not practiced martial arts, if they really have an elixir, after taking it, they can not only regulate the body, strengthen the body, but also prolong life.
At the critical moment, it may be able to save lives.
For such a good thing, of course Li Mubai will not miss it.
Zhou Xingyu thought for a while and said, "Go, why don't you go!" The Li family has been exploring for so long, and they must have gotten some news that we don't know, so we just took this opportunity to take a look. ”
Wang Ye also nodded and said: "Yes, with me and Ah Xing here, there will definitely be no danger in going to the banquet this time, we might as well go and have a look, strive to get the fire Lingzhi as soon as possible, and then set off for Jinyang City." ”
Seeing that the two of them agreed, Li Mubai naturally had no opinion, he nodded: "Just do what the two of you say, but we can bring Tieyun with us, he is familiar with the mountains and rivers in this area, since he wants to find Fire Lingzhi, his help is naturally indispensable." ”
Hearing that he was going to bring Tieyun, Zhou Xingyu nodded and agreed: "Yes, bringing Tieyun is just right to prevent the Qin family dog from jumping over the wall and doing anything irrational." ”
The three of them had a plan in their hearts, and immediately took Tieyun and headed towards the Qin family's station.
As night fell, in a courtyard in Hongyao Town, Qin Yumian sat in the study, holding the book in his hand.
"Miss, it's been arranged."
Qin Yumian nodded and said, "Okay, you go down and wait first, the guests are coming, you can come and inform me immediately." ”
Because he guessed that Li Mubai might accept the invitation and come over to discuss tonight, the Qin family had already started to make busy arrangements.
Hurry up and hurry, and finally prepare a table of wine.
The facts also proved that her guess was not wrong, and Li Mubai did agree.
Hearing his own young lady's words, the subordinate didn't dare to say more, turned around and walked towards the door.
After the next person walked away, Qin Yumian turned around and came to the Bogu shelf in the room, took down a box from it, and after opening the box, he put the contents in his arms.
Things have not progressed so far, but the Qin family's side can no longer be delayed, and they may have to prepare for the worst tonight, hoping that the conditions given by the other party will not be too excessive.
Qin Yumian sighed in her heart and began to slowly pace around the room to relieve the tension in her heart.
Hongyao Town is not big, but the place where the Qin family is located has quite a few courtyards, and after confirming the invitation to participate in Qin Yumian, the group of four people each chose a horse and rushed towards the destination.
The courtyard where the Qin family is stationed is very large, the whole courtyard is surrounded by a bamboo forest in the middle, in front of the courtyard is a large area of broad ground paved with bluestone, and not far away is the medicine mountain, if he didn't see it with his own eyes, it would be difficult for Zhou Xingyu to imagine that there was such a good courtyard in such a remote place as Hongyao Town.
Seeing the four of them approaching, the guards standing at the door immediately stopped them, and said sharply: "This is the Qin family's station, and it is forbidden for idle people to enter!" ”
Li Mubai frowned slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "I am Li Mubai of the Li family in Qingtan City, and it was Miss Qin Yumian who invited us to the banquet. ”
Hearing that the other party was from the Li family in Qingtan City, the guard immediately changed his face, squeezed out a smile, and said with a humble smile: "It turned out to be Young Master Li, you wait a minute, I will go and inform the young lady." ”
They are also wealthy businessmen in Xuanzhou, and they naturally know that the Li family in Qingtan City is extremely powerful, and there is even the title of Li Bancheng in Qingtan City, and the family power is even comparable to the government. I heard that even if the city lord meets the head of the Li family, he has to treat each other with a smile, which their Qin family can't do.
If he accidentally offended Li Mubai, he only needed to talk casually to the young lady, and his errand would definitely be lost.
The guard turned his head and said something to the person behind him, and the news was passed layer by layer, and soon Qin Yumian appeared in front of the four of them.
looked at Li Mubai, who was dressed in white in front of him, and Wang Ye, Zhou Xingyu and Tie Yun who were standing behind him with a sword.
Qin Yumian showed a smile on his face, and said to Li Mubai: "Brother Li, little sister Qin Yumian, I have heard of a big name for a long time, when I saw it today, it really deserves its reputation, the banquet is ready, please inside!" ”
"Miss Qin is polite!" Li Mubai showed a gentle smile on his face and nodded at Qin Yumian.
Zhou Xingyu and Wang Ye's eyes fell on the gun-wielding man behind Qin Yumian.
Fighting Ten Warriors.
After confirming the identity of the other party, the two lost interest and turned their heads to follow behind Li Mubai.
The group soon arrived in the hall, where a banquet had already been prepared.
Qin Yumian went straight to the main seat, and Li Mubai, Wang Ye, Zhou Xingyu, and Tie Yun casually found a food seat and sat down.
"If you have good wine, how can you have less singing and dancing, come and arrange it." Under Qin Yumian's instructions, soon a group of women in cool red dresses walked in from outside the house, they were dressed coolly, and their bodies were tightly wrapped in clothes, showing their beautiful figures perfectly in the eyes of everyone.
Looking at the woman in the red dress dancing with the music, Wang Ye, Li Mubai, Zhou Xingyu and others were not surprised, enjoying the song and dance, and eating wine and food.
It was the first time for Tie Yun to see such a scene, and he couldn't help but turn ruddy, as if his breath had become hot.
During the banquet, Qin Yumian and Li Mubai talked loudly, sometimes talking about local customs, sometimes talking about astronomy and geography, or talking about what they saw and heard in the business community in Xuanzhou.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, when the dancing girl and the musician retreated, Qin Yumian said: "There are two main things to invite Brother Li over this time, the first is that Steward Qin secretly used the escort team to kidnap Tiehu before, this matter is indeed my negligence, for which I have punished Steward Qin, and after returning to the city, he will be handed over to the government to deal with, of course, for Tieyun and Tiehu, our Qin family will also come up with a compensation." ”
After speaking, she turned around and whispered to the maid serving beside her, who nodded and left, and soon carried a red tray to the front of Tie Yun.
Qin Yumian stepped down and came to the front of Tie Yun, opened the red of the tray, pointed to the gold inside and said to Tie Yun: "Captain Tie, I asked Steward Qin to find you before, I wanted to ask for your help, who knew that he actually did such a thing, it was because I was not strict in discipline, and this hundred taels of gold should be regarded as compensation from my Qin family." ”
Tie Yun grew so big, it was the first time he saw so much gold, his eyes couldn't help but be a little off, and finally he turned his head with difficulty to look at the more familiar Zhou Xingyu, and asked with his eyes.
Zhou Xingyu nodded at him and said, "Brother Tie, since Miss Qin said that it is compensation, you might as well accept the gold, and if you go to Yunshan City in the future, you will spend a lot of money every year." ”
Qin Yumian turned his head to look at Zhou Xingyu, looking at the long sword on the other party's waist and the calm aura on his body, he suddenly understood in his heart that this person was the master who organized Steward Qin to kidnap Tiehu before.
She smiled at Zhou Xingyu and nodded.
Zhou Xingyu smiled and raised the wine glass in his hand, which was considered to have said hello.
After receiving Zhou Xingyu's prompt, Tie Yun hugged his fists at Qin Yumian, and said in a deep voice: "Then thank you Miss Qin." ”
He stretched out his hand to take the tray, and after sitting back on the dining table, he became more and more grateful to Zhou Xingyu in his heart.
Qin Yumian nodded and said, "This is what my Qin family should do." ”
After solving the first thing about Tieyun, Qin Yumian returned to the main seat and began to talk about the second thing.
