Chapter 168: Empty Joy

The fifth master's lecture was very brief, it was nothing more than telling everyone to control their mouths in front of the distinguished guests, be cautious in their words and deeds, and not lose the dignity of Jin Yanlou;

At the end, he looked at everyone and hummed without smiling: "If any of you have someone who eats inside and out, and wants to cling to the distinguished guests, hehe, I am here to kindly advise, if you want to step on our Jinyan Tower to have a good future, it depends on how many lives you have, whether you can walk this building!"

After finishing the training, he nodded slightly at the steward who brought Shen Yun here: "Steward Jin, you come to give them a detachment." ”

"Yes. The golden steward walked to the front of the line, raised one hand and gave the order, "Line up from this side, stand in a column of ten people." Move fast!"

These fellows had apparently undergone similar training, and immediately went into action. Shen Yun was experiencing it for the first time, and when he saw that there were already five people standing in a vertical line next to him, he walked over quickly, standing at the end of the line. In the blink of an eye, four more people were standing behind him. So, they were the team.

Shen Yun glanced around a few times with the afterglow of his eyes. Around the same time, the rest of the squad was also on their feet. The crowd happened to stand in eight columns, ten men each, for a total of eighty men.

Then, the financial steward issued another order: "The leader of each team will come to me to receive the number plate and send it out." ”

The so-called team leader refers to the guy standing at the front.

Hearing this, starting from the far left, the eight team leaders went to the gold steward in turn to receive a number plate. Each number plate is a small boxy black square. The difference is the color of the short tassels hanging underneath them. Shen Yun and the leader of their team were purple tassels. He started from the front and handed out the number plates one by one along the line. Shen Yun took the number plate and saw the word "Lu" written in white paint on one side of the small black square. There is a long, thin tether on top. Seeing that the people around him got the number plate, they were all hanging on the right side of the belt, and he also drew a scoop according to the gourd and hung it.

The three young men beside the fifth master all walked to the front of the queue. They waved each other:

"Red, blue, and purple, follow me. ”

"Green and white, this way. ”

"Yellow, Brown, Indigo, keep up!"

Ahhh

Passing through the back kitchen in the middle, their three columns stopped at a small vermilion lacquer door.

There is a small circular hole in the center of the door panel. The young man who led the group took out a white jade ring with orange silk hanging from it and filled it into the hole.

"Crunch", a small cracking sound came from behind the door. After dozens of breaths, the sound stopped. Immediately afterwards, with a "bang", the small vermilion door opened by itself.

"RED, get in. The young man waved.

Shen Yun took the opportunity to glance at the door. It was an empty room, and the situation inside was not much different from the small room behind the three doors in the lobby on the first floor.

After all ten members of the red team had entered, the young man closed the small vermilion door and closed it tightly. Then, he took out the white jade ring.

"Crunch", and there was another small cracking sound behind the door.

After the sound stopped, the young man stuffed the white jade ring into the small hole again, and beckoned, "Purple team." ”

When the small door of vermilion paint opened again, Shen Yun walked into the hut together with the team.

When the door was closed, everyone stood like stakes, their eyes full of nervousness and unease. Soon, there was a "creaking" sound overhead. It's the same as what they hear outside, but it's a little louder.

Shen Yun suddenly realized: this room is the passage between the first floor and the sky tower.

In the past three years in the martial arts hall, he has read all the books in the borrowing rooms of various academies, and has a little knowledge of mechanical techniques. Therefore, I can hear the "creaking" sound coming from the overhead, which is the sound of the gear mechanism running.

His face was not obvious, but his heart turned quickly: it was impossible for the immortal officials who patronized Jinyan Tower to take the passage of the back kitchen like the guys. So, there must be other passages on the first floor......

The silence was broken by a shredded sound. The expressions on everyone's faces began to loosen, you look at me, I look at you, looking at each other.

"Where is the skytower?" Finally, someone whispered in a mosquito-like voice.

"It's the highest level. The team leader replied in a whisper.

"Have you been?" the others' eyes lit up. Several people asked in unison.

The team leader shook his head: "Didn't the fifth master say just now? These days, there are rumors outside that the eldest lord is going to entertain an immortal official on the top floor of Jinyan Tower. Therefore, the skytower must be the top floor. ”

"Yes, yes, yes. I've heard about it too. ”

"Me too. ”

At this moment, the "creaking" sound stopped. The whispers immediately stopped, and their faces returned to their calmness, and one by one they looked at their noses and noses, and stood up straight.

"Whoa", the door opened.

Shen Yun glanced at the door quickly.

A man with a little goatee and the appearance of a steward stood by the door and waved at them: "Come out, go and stand in the back." ”

Shen Yun recognized it, and this person was also one of those people who had just followed the fifth master. Before, he left the small courtyard with the fifth master and did not go to the back kitchen. Now, he appeared outside the door, which was enough to prove that there were other passages on the first floor that led to the sky tower.

Behind the little goatee, the men of the red team, no less than a few of them, stood in a horizontal line.

Shen Yun and the others walked out in turn, and behind the red team, they also stood in a horizontal row.

It didn't take long for the door to open again. Ten members of the blue team also walked to the back of the red team and stood up, as Little Goatee asked.

The little goatee stood in front of the team, his eyes shining, and he said coldly: "What should be explained, presumably the fifth master has already explained it clearly below." Let me emphasize it here again. In short, in a word, keep your mouths shut. There is no need for you to speak in front of your guests. Do you understand?"

"Yes. The crowd replied with a loud voice.

The little goatee nodded slightly in satisfaction: "Tonight, there are 36 hot dishes, 36 cold dishes, and 18 kinds of fresh fruits and snacks on the table. All you have to do is take the dishes at one end of the corridor and deliver them to the corner door of the hall in their original condition. I'll divide the work among you. The red team is responsible for hot dishes, the purple team is responsible for cold dishes, and the blue team is responsible for fresh fruits and snacks. After a pause, he raised his voice and asked, "Did you hear it all clearly?"

"Yes. And they all answered in unison.

"Come with me. Before we begin, I'll take you to familiarize yourself with the venue. ”

Shen Yun followed the team, very disappointed: he thought he could blend in with the banquet, but he didn't want to, but he was overjoyed, so he could only run errands outside and deliver cold dishes.

However, he once again deeply understood the strict precautions of Jin Yanlou - obviously there were not enough people, however, even the running guys who helped to lay down were temporarily transferred from the guys on the lower three floors before the banquet began. In this way, if it weren't for a coincidence, it wouldn't have gotten in at all. <
