Chapter Twenty-Six: The Wedding Banquet
This is the first time that Tong Bo came to the Tingwei Mansion at the hour of the three poles of the sun, and the whole mansion stands alone in the center of the 100 acres of open space, and there is nothing around except an official road leading to the palace in the east, which looks bleak and desolate; the yellow wooden plaque carved with the three characters of Tingwei Mansion on the main gate has grown a little moss, and it is obvious that no one has maintained it for a long time. The two guards guarding the door in front of the door were dressed in red uniforms, holding iron rulers, and stood expressionless like wooden people.
"Two brothers, please report it, just say that Tong Bo wants to see Lord Ghostface. Tong Bo stepped forward and arched his hand to the two guards.
"We're not here, so we're talking about something tomorrow. One of the guards on the left waved his hand impatiently at Tong Bo.
"Brother, I understand the rules, if you have something important to do next, you must be accommodating. Tong Bo took out a piece of broken silver with a smile on his face and stuffed it into the hand of the guard on the left: "Hey! I knew that I would have turned it in, and I wasted another tael of silver." ”
"Well, this friend is quite good. The guard on the left weighed the silver a few times, bit it with his teeth, nodded with satisfaction, and said to the guard on the right: "Second son, take this friend in." ”
"Come with me. The guard, named Erzi, lazily pushed open the big black iron door and reluctantly walked in, muttering something in his mouth.
"It seems that this kid has been bullied quite badly." Tong Bo smiled secretly in his heart, didn't pay attention to it, and followed the guard who called the second son and walked in.
"Hmph, don't look around when your friends come here, don't ask if you shouldn't ask. We, Lord Ghostface, are currently in the Netherworld, and I'll report it in a moment, and you'll be waiting at the door. The second son whispered in Tong Bo's ear.
"Don't worry, I know the rules. Tong Bo said perfunctory about his second son, but his eyes were not honest, he entered from the main gate for the first time, of course, he had to take a good look at the style of the Tingwei Mansion.
Along the corridor of the main entrance, two people came side by side. The person on the left is dressed in a standard gold-threaded unicorn court lieutenant uniform, with an iron ruler on his back, and a black wolf mask on his face, revealing only a pair of sleepy-eyed eyes that do not match his mask.
The person on the right side is dressed in gray shorts, not handsome or ugly, if this person is put into the vast sea of people, it belongs to the most unobtrusive kind.
However, Tong Bo looked at his resentful eyes always staring at him, and he had an inexplicable feeling in his heart: "Do I know this person?"
"The lowly Zheng Erniu has seen the wolf hunting adult. Unconsciously, the second son and Tong Bo collided head-on with the two.
"Hmm!" the wolf face snorted in his mouth, and walked forward with his head held high without looking at Zheng Erniu, but the person on the right looked at Tong Bo with strange eyes from time to time.
"Ha!" The second son patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm scared to death, the adult on the left just now is the wolf of the three eagles, and he is the most difficult to talk to among the three catches." ”
"Stop!" Just as Zheng Erniu was relieved, there was a cold cheer from behind him.
"I don't know what the adults command?" Zheng Erniu heard this cold shout, trembled all over, and asked tremblingly.
"Second son, who is the person next to you? Don't you know that the Netherworld Court is the important place of my Imperial Governor's Mansion? How can you bring outsiders in at will?"
"My lord, this friend is a close friend of Lord Ghostface, and I have something important to see. The lowly position only allowed him to wait in front of the Nether Court, and would not let him in. Zheng Erniu hurriedly explained.
"That's not going to happen. The wolf hunt took out the iron ruler from his waist and walked over slowly step by step, his body was shrouded in a layer of gray wolf-shaped internal strength, Tong Bo could clearly feel that it was a kind of breath that was not afraid of death.
"Cut! How can there be countless disputes wherever you go?" Tong Bo stood with his hands in his hands, his brows furrowed slightly, and there was an extra hidden weapon in the shape of a black bead in his palm.
"Second, stop. Just as the two were facing each other, the ghost's shouts came.
"Hmph!" Wolf Hunt snorted coldly, dissipating the internal strength around him: "Big brother, even if this person is your friend, it is only a personal friendship between you, and it is not the reason for him to enter the Tingwei Mansion." ”
"Second brother, can't you change your temperament?" Ghost Face spread his hands helplessly: "Xiangyun is my friend, but he is also the guard of the Xuanwu Academy of Jingwei Mansion, this time he naturally has official business, and Lord Zhi has already received the will." ”
"Brother, I was reckless just now, I'm sorry. The wolf hunt turned around and arched his hand to Tong Bo, and turned around and left without waiting for Tong Bo to speak.
"Little ghost, your brother's sex is quite interesting. Tong Bo also shrugged helplessly: "Aren't you interrogating Zhang and Ge, why did you come out?"
"He's just this sex, he can't rub sand in his eyes, just get used to it. The ghost face scolded with a smile: "You are embarrassed to say, I will not come out again, let you hand over here, this Tingwei Mansion must be demolished by you." ”
"By the way, who was the person who was with your brother-in-law just now?" Tong Bo patted his head: "I almost missed this person by making such a fuss for him just now." ”
"I don't know very well, it is said that it is a subordinate of Murong Li, the king of Yanjun, who also asked for a grace to come here to do things. The ghost face patted Tong Bo on the shoulder: "Come with me, now is the critical juncture for the trial of the two; ”
"Yes, sir. Zheng Erniu was in a cold sweat and retreated.
Ye Fu's originally small cross-courtyard was put into three large wooden tables, and three or five people shuttled in the narrow space between the tables, wiping the table, putting chairs, and serving cold dishes were very busy.
Ye Hu was dressed in a purple-red robe draped over a red undershirt, and his jet-black hair was rarely tied with a purple-red cloth belt, with his dark and handsome face, he was a little less serious as a guard on weekdays, and a little more elegant.
"Ye Gongzi, congratulations on setting this hundred-year good date with Si Nong's daughter. ”
"Tongxi, Tongxi, Lord Zhang, Lord Li, please inside. Ye Hu stood in front of the cross-courtyard door and greeted the guests who came one after another.
"You see, this Ye Gongzi is really a talent, and he has a bright future in marrying Si Nong's daughter in the future. ”
"That's, haven't you heard? It won't be long before Ye Gongzi will be officially promoted to the commander of the left battalion of the Praetorian Guard. ”
With the passage of time, the originally slightly deserted cross-courtyard gradually became lively, and because the banquet had not yet begun, the guests at the round wooden table also talked in twos and threes.
"Childe, the master of the Xuanwu Academy of Jingwei Mansion came to congratulate his father. A cloth-clothed guy whispered in Ye Hu's ear.
"Got it, go down. As soon as Ye Hu waved his hand towards the little guy, Si Ruoshui had already met his eyes.
She is still the silver fir with her hair tied, and her cold eyes look so ancient that she can't see a trace of emotion.
An Dafang, who accompanied Si Ruoshui behind him, handed over the vermilion gift box: "Dafang congratulates Ye Escort on the joy of his marriage for the commander of my family." ”
"Chief Security is so polite, thank you for me. Ye Hu dealt with An Dafang in his mouth, but his eyes kept staring at Si Ruoshui: "Ruoshui, I want to be alone with you。。。。。。 ”
"Chief An, let's go. Si Ruoshui didn't look at Ye Hu, and walked straight towards the courtyard, while An Dafang hugged Ye Hu and followed in.
Ye Hu looked at Si Ruoshui's pretty shadow, and there was a melancholy look in his eyes.
"Brother Dafang, Master Si Yuan, this way?" Liu Ningshi, who had already been seated, had no familiar guests in Ye Mansion, and sat alone at a round table next to the main table, she suddenly saw An Dafang and Si Ruoshui, and waved her hand happily at them.
An Dafang also waved his hand at Liu Ningshi: "Courtyard Master, let's go sit over there." ”
"Hmm!" Si Ruoshui nodded expressionlessly.
"Ning Shi, why are you here too?" An Dafang straightened his clothes and sat on the chair next to Liu Ningshi, and Si Ruoshui also sat down next to An Dafang.
"It's not Steward Qin yet, so I was forced to come to the banquet on behalf of the Liu family. Liu Ningshi pouted: "It would be nice if my father or second brother were here, I don't like to come to this kind of occasion the most." ”
"Ning Shi, don't worry, our Xuanwu Academy and Tingwei Mansion have joined forces to search for Ling Zun's whereabouts, and I believe there will be news soon. An Dafang patted his chest confidently.
"Thank you, Brother Dafang, I've been helping Ning Shi these days. Liu Ningshi smiled at An Dafang.
"Uh-huh!" Si Ruoshui on the side cleared his throat: "Chief Security Officer, the secrets in the mansion must not be revealed to outsiders. ”
"Master, I'm 。。。。。。 An Dafang was said by Si Ruoshui, and he was suddenly a little speechless.
"It doesn't matter, Brother Dafang, you don't have to break the rules for Ning Shi. Liu Ningshi glared at Si Ruoshui.
As if he hadn't seen it, Si Ruoshui turned his head. An Dafang sat between the two daughters, although he smiled awkwardly, he felt a strong smell of gunpowder.
Fortunately, at this time, Ye Wuyan at the main table held the wine bottle and slowly got up from the chair: "Thank you friends for coming to Xiao'er's wedding banquet, Wuyan is here to pay tribute to this." ”
Ye Wuyan drank it all and said loudly: "Please drink happily and return happy." ”
The Netherworld Court is located at the back of the main court of the Tingwei Mansion, covering an area of one-third of the mansion, and the interior is divided into three floors. The first layer is only for ordinary chickens, dogs, thieves, and petty thieves, and the second layer is for those who are imprisoned
It is some murderous and over-the-top goods, mountain thieves and water bandits, etc., and the third layer is the core of the entire Netherworld, which is full of some river and ocean thieves and repeat offenders of the country.
"Xiangyun, my Netherworld Court is much more exciting than your Xuanwu Academy, which patrols all day and night. I don't think you should patrol the night, come and patrol this Netherworld. Unconsciously, Tong Bo had followed the ghost face to the third layer.
"Hmph! The ghost howls under the torture instruments on the first and second floors are really boring, and the third layer is still a bit tasteful. Tong Bo looked disdainful.
"Xiangyun, I'm just joking with you to liven up the atmosphere, don't be so serious?" The ghost pointed inward: "Zhang Da and Ge Er are locked in the innermost cell." ”
