In the depths of winter, the White Key City has a veritable beautiful snowy scene, and the view from a high vantage point on this city facing the distant mountains and building by the river is like a key that is about to unlock the door of the mountains.

As the frontier of Yueyang, it has experienced the baptism of the famine tide a hundred years ago, even if there is the twenty years of Zhongxing of the contemporary Heavenly Monarch, White Key City is still not rich, and the population has only recovered to more than one million. Compared with the old capital of Hope Rongcheng, which resonates with the abyss, the small White Key City seems to be just a suburban town.

But the town also has the bustle of a small town. Nowadays, the White Key City is high in the sky, adjacent to the Ningyuan Pavilion, there is a Shengxue Tower, every time the snow falls in the White Key City, this suspended building will release a soft streamer, replacing the moonlight obscured by snow clouds, like a dancing snow fairy in the night, leading the coquettish white key snow scene.

And in this Shengxue Building, it is now a lively atmosphere.

Wang Luo, the new celebrity from Zhuwang, the owner of Lingshan Mountain, sat on the main seat of the banquet and greeted waves of enthusiastic guests.

"The lord of Wang Mountain has heard of the name for a long time, and today I finally saw it, the boy is really honored, here, I must toast you here! The heroes of the Wilderness are amazing! What a hero! ”

A young nobleman in a jade-faced brocade robe held up the luminous cup high, and drank the white key famous wine all over the mountain.

Wang Luo just drank a glass of wine and drank it, which was regarded as giving the other party a face, as for those fanciful touts, he naturally didn't take it to heart.

It's just telling the truth, and he's heard a lot of such truths these days, and now it's just another person, what's worth caring about?

However, the jade-faced son in front of him, He Qingliu, is indeed not an ordinary person, he is the young master of the largest chamber of commerce in White Key City [Golden Capital], his father is very old, and in recent years, he has gradually delegated power and is only at the helm behind the scenes. So the young man standing in front of the stage became the real power figure of the out-and-out White Key City.

Not only that, when the Bai family lost power, He Lan, who temporarily took the position of city lord, was the young man's own uncle, and Shengxue Building was simply the property of the Jindu Chamber of Commerce.

Therefore, this banquet co-organized by Bai Key celebrities is naturally indispensable to He Qingliu's position.

After a while, He Qingliu, who had been toasted and had been mad, sat down again, his face was still full of excitement, but his mouth was firmly closed, and he didn't say a word.

His performance time is over, and it's the turn of the next Yueyang celebrity to take the stage.

"Lord Wang Mountain, in Xia Bai Wuyi, now the general of the White Key City Dinghuang Army, your heroism in the Rongcheng Wilderness, I really admire you in the Xia! Be sure to toast here! ”

And as the middle-aged general drank all the liquor in his cup, he immediately recited the beautiful words a little stiffly...... Wang Luo's side, the little assistant who was in charge of introducing the guests present to him, took this opportunity to whisper: "This person is one of the few remaining high-level leaders of the Bai family here, although he is a member of the Bai family, he has always been at odds with the mainstream of the Bai Wei and other families, and he can be trusted for the time being." ”

Wang Luo nodded secretly, and asked again: "Does this person have a grudge against you?" ”

The little assistant's face was solemn, and he whispered: "Lord Mountain, I came to the mortal world from the Guanghan Palace, and I came alone, not contaminated with any past events, let alone worldly cause and effect. ”

"Speak human words."

The little assistant wrinkled his face and whispered: "Mother Lu wants Xin'er to atone for her sins, work for you honestly, and only let Xin'er return to Guanghan Palace when her meritorious service is over." During this period, it is not allowed to delay the serious work due to personal abolition. ”

"Huh? Guilty of meritorious service? Before, Gao Heng, the Heavenly Monarch, threatened your clan to reveal Lan'er's secret, didn't you write a letter to Lu Youyou on the spot, and it is said that you also burned paper money for your relatives in advance, why do you still have to make meritorious contributions? ”

The little assistant Xin'er sent a crying face with a divine thought: "When Xin'er was burning paper money behind the house, she ran to eat when she lit a fire, but accidentally ran out of the water...... It also burned out the deer mother's favorite hanging bell in the wind. ”

“…… So does this person have any grudges with you? ”

"When the Xin'er family collapsed, there were basically no innocent people in Yueyang's upper-class wealthy family, Bai Wuyi was a member of the Bai family, and it stands to reason that I should not share the sky with him. But I have never had any relationship with my family, and this person's reputation is indeed good, so the mountain lord will spare his life. ”

"Okay."

After ending the secret conversation with Xin'er, Wang Luo also drank the wine in the cup, gave Bai Wuyi enough face, and then began to greet the next one.

And then, the next one.

And then again, or the next one.

In the middle of the banquet, the delicate wine jug was empty, and the time gradually came to the middle of the night, and the words of the guests and hosts became more and more heated through the wine.

Wang Luo carefully tasted the famous dishes of Yueyang in Shengxue Building, and at the same time casually dealt with those insincere clichés and nonsense.

Today, in the snow wine, all the people I saw were the big people in White Key City and even the Northern Region of Yueyang. And these big shots are the help that must be relied on in the process of pulling out the wasteland in Yueyang in the future.

Pulling out the wilderness is a systematic project, and it is not just as simple as picking out a few cocoon-breaking people who have been ritualized by the desolate demons and eating them, the root loopholes that exist in the desolate enchantment, and the institutional loopholes that exist in the desolate system, are all the goals of the desolation. To deal with these goals, it is absolutely impossible to rely on foreigners from Zhuwang Molin alone, and without the cooperation of the locals, outsiders will obviously have a hard time.

And to cooperate with the locals, it is natural to have to do some etiquette and politeness, according to the traditional customs of the northern region of Yueyang, that is, to see the truth on the wine table.

With Wang Luo's original intention, it is best to find some high-sounding people to deal with these high-sounding trivial matters. He, a supernumerary staff, is only responsible for holding the rhubarb, picking up and eating the takeaways hidden in Yueyang one by one, and then he can go to the clothes.

But it is clear that Lu Youyou did not intend to let go of such a strong laborer.

"It's not the era of the old immortal calendar, and the path of solitary cultivation is no longer feasible. To adapt to the rules of the new era, you must learn to deal with boring people, whether you want to or not. This matter is not exempt even from the Lord, so ......"

Therefore, in the face of the reasonable requests of his boss and subordinates, Wang Luo could not refuse, so he had to work more and take on these transactional tasks together.

But at the same time, Wang Luo also has to admit that these transactional work is actually quite interesting to deal with.

Needless to say, the wine and delicacies of Shengxue Lou are not to mention, on the wine table, these celebrities who are bent on pleasing Yueyang obviously also learned Wang Luo's preferences from Gao Yuanwang's mouth, and after the prelude to the banquet, they soon came to the point.

"Speaking of which, Lord Wang, I don't know if you have heard a local legend: more than 1,000 years ago, there was a ...... from Zhu Wang"

Wang Luo interrupted: "Are you talking about my senior sister's story?" Just to put it bluntly, I'm really interested. ”

The young master of the Jindu Chamber of Commerce, who told the story, was stunned when he heard this, smiled awkwardly, stopped selling Guanzi, and said: "Legend has it that she once had a beautiful love affair with a beautiful local girl. ”
