Chapter 3: Preparing for a banquet to pick up guests.

At the beginning of the clear sky, you can see the towering peaks, the mountains are numerous, the green refuses, and the beauty is magnificent.

Look, the mountain is half waist, the pavilion first appeared, it has been golden glaze, five steps on the first floor, ten steps on the pavilion, compact and harmonious connection, the long steps are connected with the brown three-story pavilion, the shadow is interesting, the phoenix and the song, the golden brilliance.

The gate of the pavilion is made of two huge stone pillars, and there are four big characters in the center of the courtyard: Canglong Villa.

The atmosphere is magnificent.

Looking around, there are two to four Zhuang Jia's guards at each entrance, and there are two teams of ten Zhuang Jia's patrols back and forth, and the guards are extremely tight.

Above the main courtyard, the front of the main hall is hung with red lanterns and colorful vines, and the bustling crowd is busy.

I saw that the housekeeper in charge was dressed as a scholar, holding a folding fan and standing in front of the door of the main hall and said: "Today is a good day for the 60th birthday of the owner, everyone must work together and must not go wrong." ”

The guards and subordinates of the village did not dare to slack off, and responded with a straight voice.

At this moment, the maid hurriedly ran forward from the east hall with small steps, talked to Steward Su, and saw Steward Su follow the maid to the east hall.

In the main room of the east hall, a man in purple, seven feet tall, although he is old, his face is full of handsomeness, and he is pacing back and forth in the room, thinking about something.

This person is Shen Henian, the owner of Canglong Mountain Villa.

"The owner of the village, Steward Su is already outside the door. ”

The maid stepped forward to make a move.

"Okay, stand down. ”

The purple-clothed man's voice came, and the maid thanked him.

Butler Su walked in quickly and gave him a salute.

"Big brother is in such a hurry to find me, I don't know what happened?"

"Second brother, come, let's sit down and talk. ”

Shen Henian said, turned around and sat down on the main seat.

After Su Meixiang responded in a whisper, she also stepped forward and sat down, waiting for Shen Henian to speak.

"Isn't there any news from Canglan yet?"

Shen Henian got straight to the point.

"Oh, half a month ago, I received a message from Tianxiao Feige, saying that the young owner has set off, and according to the mileage estimate, the young owner will be able to arrive at noon today. ”

Su Meixiang closed the folding fan in her hand slightly.

Although he is a housekeeper, he is Shen Henian's confidant.

When Shen Henian encounters a major event, he often puts his heart to heart with him in order to find advice and make important decisions, and entrust him with important tasks.

This is the reason why Su Meixiang's "martial arts are low", but her prestige in Canglong Villa is extremely high.

The young master Shen Canglan went to Tianxiao to learn art, but Shen Henian adopted his suggestion.

"That's very good. By the way, is there any news from the person sent to pick up Miss Lu?"

Shen Henian was very satisfied after hearing this.

"I haven't seen a return yet. ”

Su Meixiang has been gifted.

"Yes, it should have arrived. ”

Shen Henian glanced at Su Meixiang, and without words, Su Meixiang already knew it.

"Owner, don't worry! The Floating Shadow Gate is only more than three hundred miles away from our Canglong Villa, and we have arranged people on the way, as long as Miss Lu enters our range, even if people with ill intentions want to embarrass her, they must weigh the weight. Besides, the second son, Shen Duo, went in person, thinking that he had already received it at this moment. ”

Seeing this, Su Meixiang explained.

He knew what Shen Henian was worried about, and when things didn't become a sure fact, he wouldn't be easy to worry about.

"That's a good point. But I'm afraid that someone will take advantage of this opportunity to get in the way and sow discord between us and the Shadow Gate. Moreover, if "Canglan Decision" can be safely brought back this time, it can be regarded as completing the mission of the old owner. ”

Shen Henian said and stood up.

For "The Decisive Battle" to return to Zhao, this is one of his biggest long-cherished wishes in this life.

"The owner of the village is thoughtful, why don't I send a few more people down the mountain to investigate?"

Su Meixiang also stood up.

"That's it. I think we'll wait for news. You go out with me to greet the guests, I think it's time for them to arrive. ”

Shen Henian changed his normality, which Su Meixiang didn't expect.

He had no choice but to agree, and walked out of the east hall with Shen Henian to the main entrance.

At the main entrance, people who worship their birthdays are coming forward in an endless stream, and jewelry and other gifts are readily available, and they are being reasonably placed.

Outside the ferry port of Canglong Villa, inside the peach forest.

Lu Ling'er pulled the horse and walked forward slowly, looking at his clothes and complexion, his clothes were stained with a little dust, his face was very haggard, and there were many wounds on his right hand, thinking that he had encountered an ambush on the way.

Fortunately, the burden on the body and the sword in the hand are still there, which is also a great blessing.

She had barely walked a few steps when she smelled a strong murderous aura in the woods.

So he secretly lucked himself and held the sword tightly in his hand, waiting for the opportunity to kill with one blow.

At this moment, a burst of words came from high in the woods.

"Is it Lu Ling'er, the young master of the Floating Shadow Gate?"

The sound came from far and near, and the words were round.

"Exactly, Your Excellency?"

After hearing this, Lu Linger spoke with a salute.

"Well, we've been waiting for her for a long time. ”

Before the words fell, I saw six purple-clothed people slowly falling from the height of the woods.

Lu Linger said in her heart: "Could it be that it is for "The Decisive Battle" again?"

She traveled all the way and experienced dozens of battles, large and small, before she was seriously injured.

At this moment, the appearance of the man in purple has secretly made plans.

I heard that the person who was the leader recommended himself: "Miss Lu, hello, I am Shen Duo, the son of Shen Zhuangism, I am here to greet me on the order of my father-in-law, please follow us to the village!"

"Oh, thank you Master Shen Zhuang for your thoughtfulness, Ling'er thanked you here first. Please also ask Shen Shaoxia to lead the way. ”

As soon as Lu Ling'er heard this, although she didn't know the people of Canglong Villa, she didn't know that someone would come to answer them, and she saw that everyone was wearing purple clothes, and the word 'Canglong' was embroidered on the clothes on her right shoulder, and she was within the sphere of influence of Canglong Villa, so she thought that she was a person from Canglong Villa.

So he slowly let down his guard.

"Please!"

Shen Duo stretched out his right hand to invite.

Seeing this, Lu Ling'er gave a thank you gift, and walked towards the dense forest under the care of Shen Duo and others.

In Canglong Villa, guests are arranged to sit in the main hall, and its delicacies are displayed on the table.

Shen Henian sat on the main seat, and Su Meixiang stood on his right side.

Smelling Shen Henian, he whispered, "What time is it?"

"Lord, it's almost noon, look?"

Su Meixiang replied after hearing this.

It was getting closer and closer to the noon of the owner's 60th birthday banquet.

"Let's get started!"

Shen Henian spoke.

I saw Su Meixiang turn around and salute:

"I wish the owner a long and healthy life and a long career!"

Seeing this, all the guests stood up from their seats and bowed their hands to congratulate:

"I wish Lord Shen Zhuang a longevity than Nanshan, a blessing like the East China Sea, and a long life of 100 years!"

"Hahaha! Thank you all the friends and elders in the rivers and lakes for looking up to me Shen and coming to my birthday banquet, Shen has thanked me first!"

Shen Henian saluted when he saw this, and laughed from the bottom of his heart.

The atmosphere is joyful, so jubilant?

But in the peach forest, the figures of six purple-clothed people came from far and near, which made this sure birthday banquet confusing.
