Chapter Seventy-Four: A Feast of Celebration
When Ye Feng and his party came to the gate of King Su's Mansion, the gate of King Su's Mansion was already decorated with lights, and everyone who came in and out was filled with joy for the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, and they all seemed to be elated.
Hearing that Ye Feng and they had arrived, Su Wang Zhu and Lanzhou Supervisor Ma Jing personally came to the door to greet them, and the big man of such an identity was so condescending, which made Ye Feng feel a little flattered.
Entering the hall of King Su's mansion, the banquet had already been prepared, in addition to Mr. Huangyue and the three brothers and sisters of the Tang family, the officials and officials in Lanzhou City, and the generals who guarded the city, all of them were all smiling, filled with joy.
Seeing Ye Feng and them walking in, everyone stood up together and nodded to Ye Feng one after another, such a big battle to welcome him made Ye Feng feel red for a while, at a loss, and a little embarrassed.
He saw Tang Rou also standing up and smiling at him, the smile was full of appreciation and gratitude like everyone else, but it seemed to be slightly different from others, and there was relief in it for his safe return.
She's caring about herself!
Ye Feng's heart suddenly felt warm and a hint of joy, but he immediately saw another familiar, also warm smiling face, it was Tang Da standing beside Tang Rou!
Sure enough, what she is most willing to be by Tang Da's side is still Tang Da, and the most important thing in her heart is Tang Da!
But I don't know why, every time I saw Tang Rou and Tang Da standing together before, Ye Feng always had a very uncomfortable feeling in his heart.
And then this time it didn't.
This time, when he saw Tang Rou and Tang Da standing side by side, he felt like a pair made in heaven, such a match, so perfect.
And in his own heart, a shadow suddenly flashed, it was Cheng Nianzhen Cheng girl who was following him closely!
Why is this happening?
He didn't understand, and he didn't have time to figure it out after a while.
Under the repeated insistence of King Su Zhu, Ye Feng and the others took their seats in the upper seat close to King Su.
Su Wang Zhu stretched out his hand and picked up the golden wine glass that was full of water on the table, raised it high, his face was full of joy, and said with some excitement: "Everyone, this king has a banquet today to thank you for not being afraid of danger and working together to finally make the strong enemy retreat without a fight, and this king wants to represent the hundreds of thousands of people in Lanzhou City, thank you!"
He turned around, faced Ye Feng, and continued: "But this first cup of wine, this king wants to pay tribute to Ye Feng Ye Gongzi first." If it weren't for him in danger, he sacrificed his life and forgot to die, and rode alone in front of thousands of troops and horses, delaying Song Hu's siege time, I'm afraid everyone still doesn't know who will kill at this moment?"
He raised his voice and said: "Lanzhou City can turn danger into disaster, and Ye Gongzi has made great contributions!"
Everyone in the hall applauded in unison: "Great merit!"
Su Wang Zhu drank the wine in the cup in his hand.
Ye Feng hurriedly got up, picked up the wine glass and bowed down to thank him, and drank it all.
Everyone in the audience shouted in unison: "Good!"
Su Wang Zhu picked up the second glass of wine, turned to face Mo Qizhong and said, "This second cup of wine, this king wants to pay tribute to Ye Gongzi's seventh uncle." ”
During the banquet, many people didn't know Mo Qizhong, and they all felt strange, why did His Royal Highness King Su toast to this old man?
Su Wang Zhu said to everyone: "The reason why Ye Gongzi was able to achieve this great achievement was all because of the protection of this seventh uncle. The seventh uncle not only has shocking martial arts, but also has unparalleled wisdom in the world, it is he who sent people to teach the king's guards who came to the rescue, and used the strategy of suspicious soldiers, which scared away Song Hu Chen The tiger and wolf division under the city, you say, should this cup of wine be respected?"
Everyone in the hall replied in unison: "This old hero should be respected!"
Ye Feng was on the side, but his eyebrows were raised.
To say that Mo Qizhong suddenly appeared behind Ye Feng in time at that time, not only Su Wang Zhu who was standing on the city wall
I understood it, but even Ye Feng himself was unaware.
From this, it can be inferred that the martial arts of this seventh uncle are shocking, but it is barely reasonable.
However, Mo Qizhong sent someone to teach the suspicious plan of the Suwang Guards who came to rescue Lanzhou was very secret, and even the general who led the support army did not know that the person who passed the message was from Momen, if it wasn't for the seventh uncle and he himself to talk about it, Ye Feng wouldn't know about it.
How could His Royal Highness King Su know the truth so quickly?
It seems that in Lanzhou City, His Royal Highness King Su's hands and eyes are really powerful, and I am afraid that it is difficult for him to know something.
Ye Feng was thinking about it, but Mo Qizhong stood up at this time.
He didn't pick up the wine glass in front of him, but picked up the tea on the side, and said to Su Wang Zhu: "Thank you Your Highness for your love, but the old man is old and in poor health, so he can't drink alcohol, so he can only replace wine with tea and receive His Highness's kindness." ”
Everyone at the banquet changed their faces when they heard this, and the prince personally toasted, but the old man insisted on not drinking, but instead used tea instead of wine, which was very rude.
Everyone was afraid that King Su would be annoyed and angry, and they were furious, stirring up the originally celebratory feast, and their hearts couldn't help but be tight.
Unexpectedly, Su Wang Zhu smiled indifferently: "Everything depends on the old hero's will." ”
With that, he craned his neck and drank the wine in the golden cup again.
Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and shouted in unison: "Okay!"
I don't know if this good sound is for the good amount of wine of His Royal Highness King Su, or for his good mind?
Su Wang Zhu put down the wine glass, and the waiter next to him immediately poured the third glass of wine.
King Su raised his wine glass and said to Tang Da and Zhang Fatzi: "Tang Daxia, Zhang Shizi, this third glass of wine must be honored by the king of the two of you." At the moment when the city was besieged by heavy troops and was in danger, it was the two of you who volunteered to deliver the letter regardless of the danger, so that the reinforcements from Tuntian could be transferred, and the black armor guards could be mobilized to form a flanking attack on Song Hu on the battlefield. Now Lanzhou City is safe and sound, you two have made a lot of contributions, please drink this cup!"
The audience cheered in unison: "Credit!"
Being praised by so many people, maybe it was the first time in his life, Zhang Fatzi's face couldn't help but smile, and his smug face was revealed.
After saluting Tang Da and Zhang Fatzi, Su Wang Zhu had already drunk three cups in a row, and he looked a little overwhelmed, and red clouds rose all over his face.
However, he seemed to be in a very good mood, and after waving his hand to let everyone feel free, he sat down in the seat, watching with great interest as everyone toasted each other and reveled in a wanton revelry.
In the hall, there are singers and dancers from the palace to help the wine, but at this time, everyone is busy pushing each other's glasses and changing lamps, and no one pays attention to these graceful and pleasing dances.
His Royal Highness King Su admired Ye Feng so much, which naturally attracted the officials of all sizes in the hall who participated in the banquet to rush to come and toast Ye Feng, flattering him, and stammering.
Ye Feng is usually not good at drinking, and he was poured more than a dozen glasses one after another by these people for a while, and suddenly the whole person felt light, and the scene in front of him began to be hazy, and some of the world turned around.
Looking at Tang Da and Zhang Fatzi's side, the situation is similar to Ye Feng's here, except that there is not even a person who comes to toast in front of the Mo Sevenfold Seat.
This old man even dared to disobey the prince's face, and said that if he didn't drink, he would resolutely not drink, so no one dared to come to him to touch the nails again. Naturally, his front was deserted, and there were many people.
However, Mo Qizhong didn't care about this, while eating the delicacies in front of him, his eyes kept glancing at the two people in the seat, Su Wang Zhu and the prison army Ma Jing.
I don't know how long he buried his head and ate, until his stomach was bulging, and then he was satisfied with a burp, while standing up, and said to King Su that he was unwell, and said goodbye.
Seeing that he eats so well, I really don't know where he looks a little unwell, if anything, he just eats to support it.
fortunately
Su Wang Zhu didn't seem to care at all, and his mood was not affected by this strange old man at all.
And Cheng Nianzhen, a girl's family, originally liked to be quiet, and didn't like such a noisy and noisy scene, not to mention watching many men pouring wine into each other during the banquet, and their words and deeds gradually lost their temper. In addition, she heard Mo Qizhong say that he was unwell, so she followed Uncle Seven and left the banquet.
Walking out of the gate of King Su's mansion, it was already dark, Cheng Nianzhen breathed a long sigh of relief, he couldn't imagine that this feast would be from afternoon to evening, but thinking about it, these people have just experienced that thrilling crisis, and for the rest of their lives, they should vent their emotions well.
Suddenly, Mo Qizhong, who was walking in front of her, turned around violently, looked at Cheng Nianzhen, and said with a smile on his face: "Miss Cheng, why don't you stay for a while, can't you rush out to accompany me, an old man?"
Cheng Nianzhen pretended not to care and snorted: "Since the prince pushed him so high at today's banquet, what kind of merit is great, can he still refrain from drinking? Besides, whether he drinks well or not, will he be poured to the ground, and what does it have to do with me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at Mo Qizhong's eyes that seemed to be smiling, and suddenly understood that he had been fooled.
Mo Qizhong didn't explain who the "he" he was talking about at all, but she preconceived that it was Ye Feng, didn't she expose her mind instead of confessing herself?
Cheng Nianzhen figured this out, and suddenly felt embarrassed, lowered his head with red cheeks, and said with some coquettishness: "Seventh uncle, your old man is really ......"
Seeing her delicate appearance, Mo Qizhong immediately laughed out loud: "I can see the thoughts between the two of you in the inn, why do you hide it from me? Besides, young men and women are willing to love each other, and they are in love with each other, which is a good story for the ages, what is there to be ashamed of?"
Unexpectedly, Cheng Nianzhen's expression darkened after listening to his words, and said, "It's a pity that Ye Gongzi already has a heart for him." ”
This was much more than Mo Qizhong expected, and he was stunned and asked, "You said that stupid boy has fallen in love with someone else?"
Cheng Nianzhen sighed faintly and said, "The old man doesn't know, Ye Gongzi's heart has long belonged to Sister Tang Rou, where will there be someone else's place?"
Mo Qizhong was stunned: "Tang Rou, is that the girl sitting next to Tang Da?"
Cheng Nianzhen nodded.
Mo Qizhong shook his head while thinking about it: "No, I see that Tang Da has never left her side with her eyes, and she has already secretly promised in her heart, how can she still have any entanglements with Ye Feng, a stupid boy?"
He looked at Cheng Nianzhen, who was hanging his head, and suddenly understood: "You mean that stupid boy thinks about Miss Tang with all his mind, right?"
Cheng Nianzhen blushed and nodded.
Mo Qizhong laughed and said, "Girl, you are too careful." Today, Ye Feng and I escaped death and returned to the city together, I could see his thoughts clearly. He hurried back to the inn worriedly, who do you say he was worried about? Who was he most worried about?"
Cheng Nian was really stunned, he was the only one waiting for Ye Feng's return from beginning to end in the inn, Tang Rou had never been here at all, could it be that the person Ye Feng was worried about and worried about was really himself?
Mo Qizhong continued in his ear: "Girl, don't worry, Uncle Seven's eyes will never be mistaken, this stupid boy has always had you in his heart, but maybe he didn't even think about it himself before." After this life and death, I think he will definitely know what he needs in his heart. ”
Cheng Nianzhen only felt a sweet feeling surging up in her heart, she had always felt that her feelings for Ye Feng were her own business, and she had never expected the other party's response.
And now this sweet feeling, is it the feeling of mutual affection?
She raised her head and felt that the full moon hanging in the sky tonight seemed to be very round and bright.
