Chapter 56: Rong Chen and the others attend the wedding banquet
In Yacheng, in front of a teahouse shop where people come and go, a cloth banner with the words "Half-day Leisure Teahouse" is turning in the wind and snow, and the whirring sound seems to be excited because of the good business.
On the second floor of the teahouse, Rong Yunxiao put down the still steaming teacup in his hand unhappily, shook off the folding fan and closed it again, and after repeating it several times, he finally stopped the action of not caring in the center of his hand.
"Ruthless, is there still no news of Prajna?" Rong Yunxiao frowned slightly, lowered his eyes and looked at the already cold tea on the table, and his voice couldn't help but be a little colder than before.
"It's the incompetence of the subordinates, please ......" Ruthless and Zi Sandalwood heard the same words, and they were about to kneel down and salute. It was rare for their Highness the Dust King to have such a cold voice, which meant that he was very unhappy at this time.
"Pay attention to identity. Rong Yunxiao lowered his voice and raised his hand to cut off the words of the two people behind him.
Ruthless and Rosewood's bodies stiffened, and they immediately reacted that they had overreacted just now, almost revealing the identity of His Royal Highness the Dust King, so they froze there and hung their heads silently.
Ruthless is different from the other dead soldiers around Rong Yunxiao who protect him, he has been by Rong Yunxiao's side all the year round, knowing that Rong Yunxiao doesn't like others to say much when he is in a bad mood.
Rong Yunxiao and the others have been in Yacheng for a long time, but from the autumn wind to the winter snow, there is still no news of the unequaled princess, and even the ruthless Praruo who has met by chance in Yacheng has no news.
Hua Wuying and Qing Xiyun glanced at each other, facing the silent master and servant, knowing that they were looking for people's hearts, but they didn't know how to comfort them, so they had to keep silent.
As for Pranya, on the way out of the valley that day, he was knocked unconscious by the song and brought back to the non-hidden building, so naturally he would not appear near Yacheng again.
If she was ashamed of the princess, she knew that the princess didn't want to see her again, and after hearing that the princess had reconciled with Mu Qiannian, she stayed in the non-hidden building to accompany Yan Xiu with peace of mind.
As for Princess Wushuang being blind, Mu Qiannian took her to the Ice Ember Mountain to seek medical treatment, and Ling Zhi did not mention it to Yan Xiu.
Originally, Ling Zhi was the leader of the spies who were not the hidden tower, and the information he knew did not need to be revealed to anyone other than the pavilion master. He and Yan Xiu didn't have much to do with each other, but if the news was revealed to Yan Xiu and Pan Ruo, if Pan Ruo voluntarily stayed in the non-hidden building for Yan Xiu, he wouldn't have to worry about her hurting the second young master again.
"Ruthless, Cliff City seems to be unusually lively these two days, do you know what's going on?" Rong Yunxiao looked at the teahouse on the first floor at this time, and he suddenly asked, after being silent for a long time.
This cliff city, because of the ominous place of the Falling Bone Cliff, is deserted on weekdays. But in the past two days, many outsiders have come, and most of them are people from the rivers and lakes, and there are many people who are well-dressed or have outstanding appearances.
"Master, most of those people are passing through here to rush to Tianze City in Tianshu Country, and when I inquired about the news in Tianshu Country a few days ago, I also heard a little about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. Ruthless stepped forward and replied.
"What's the matter?" Rong Yunxiao replaced with a hot tea and was sipping it slowly, and it was not clear from his face that he was just asking casually or really wanted to know.
But Hua Wuying and Qing Xiyun seemed to be a little interested in this matter, and they all moved closer to the table so that they could continue to listen to the ruthless whisper.
"There is a bear and tiger gate in Tianze City in Tianshu Kingdom, I heard that it is specialized in darts, and the master of the door, Cheng Ruiguang, is strong in martial arts and willing to give, and has a good reputation. In a few days, it will be a big day for Cheng Ruiguang's daughter to leave the cabinet, and many people who have friends have gone to congratulate, and many people want to take the opportunity to talk. ”
After ruthlessly speaking, seeing Rong Yunxiao's indifferent expression, he was about to shut up and retreat, when he suddenly remembered something again.
"Speaking of Tianze City's subordinates, I remembered another thing, the Wanbao Pavilion in Tianze City is said to be the most well-informed, as long as they can take out the treasures that are favored by the Ten Thousand Pavilions, they can help find out the news. ”
Rong Yunxiao, who was lacking in interest just now, had a deep look in his eyes at this time, and his essence flashed from the bottom of his eyes, and then he shook the folding fan with a flick of his wrist.
Seeing this, Ruthless knew that His Royal Highness the Dust King was interested, so he continued: "My subordinates once came to ask for a meeting, but they were turned away by the Wanbao Pavilion on the grounds that their pavilion master had not returned. However, it is said that the wedding banquet of Xionghumen has a banquet for Wanbao Pavilion, and the subordinates think ......"
"Go to the Xionghumen wedding banquet. Before Ruthless finished speaking, Rong Yunxiao had already made a decision with a gentle shake of the fan.
Snow is falling outside the window, looking up at the people who are still vaguely seen passing by with their necks bent and rubbing their palms, although the temperature in the teahouse is not as cold as outside, it is definitely not at all related to the warmth.
Rong Yunxiao was dressed in a black brocade dress with gold rim, but he was still shaking the folding fan in his hand, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, which made people inexplicably feel warm like a spring breeze.
"Since I am going to participate in someone else's wedding banquet, then Zi Sandalwood will prepare a generous gift. "Rosewood has not been in vain in the past three years, and he understands the world very well, so he is about to leave.
"No, what other gifts can you prepare now, we will come uninvited at that time, and we must have enough decent congratulatory gifts to attract attention and attract the Ten Thousand Treasures. Rong Yunxiao stopped Zi Sandalwood, and said with a light smile on his face.
The remaining four people didn't know what medicine was sold in Rong Yunxiao's gourd, and they all looked puzzled.
Soon, they saw Rong Yunxiao take out a piece of jade from his arms. Ruthless just glanced at it, and immediately lost his voice and exclaimed: "This, this is ......"
After receiving Rong Yunxiao's stern eye warning, Ruthless lowered his voice in the surprised gazes of Hua Wuying, Qingxi Yun, and Zi Tan and continued: "This is the birthday of the Holy Lord on His Royal Highness the Dust King...... A gift from the Emperor. ”
Rong Yunxiao ignored the rare and strange eyes of the four people beside him, and took the piece of jade back into his arms again. There has always been no shortage of rare treasures in the palace, even if it is rewarded by his father, he does not value these things outside his body compared to being able to find the imperial sister.
Five days later, in a mountain villa on the western outskirts of Tianze City in the Tianshu Kingdom, the gate of Xiong Hu Hall was bustling with activity. Even the two domineering statues of a bear and a tiger carved in stone in front of the gate are draped in jubilant red silk.
The sound of gongs and drums, firecrackers, and noises convey blessings to the newlyweds and welcome to the guests.
Rong Yunxiao and his entourage of five were welcomed in by the stewards who greeted the guests on both sides of the gate among the guests who came to the door.
Cheng Ruiguang, the hall owner of Xionghutang, has always liked to make friends with the world's heroes, and he is bold and generous, so he does not engage in this set of greetings, as long as it is a guest who comes to the door, he is respectfully welcomed in.
Walking through the corridor, I saw the maids in the hall holding snacks and wines, smiling and shuttling around. When the steward in charge of receiving the gift took the jade in Rong Yunxiao's hand, the noisy voices around couldn't help but fall silent.
After a while, they praised this beautiful jade. Although the goose-egg-sized jade is not thick, it is crystal clear, and the rainbow light can be faintly seen in the brightly lit room, which is dazzling.
Thanks to the blessing of this rare jade, Rong Yunxiao and his party were arranged in an excellent position in the hall. Cheng Ruiguang, the hall master of the Xionghu Hall, who was dressed in festive red, also took the time to personally greet Rong Yunxiao and the others to take their seats.
"The son is dignified, and it is an honor for the old man to meet the son through the wedding of the little girl. The son gave such a generous gift, but he didn't know the son's surname, and the old man was ashamed. ”
Although Cheng Ruiguang is over forty years old, he is familiar with his body type, has a pair of blazing tiger eyes, and speaks modestly and politely, which makes people feel good, and it is no wonder that many heroes and heroes came from everywhere at a wedding banquet.
Rong Yunxiao also got up and smiled when he heard this: "Chen Mou has admired the prestige of the hall master for a long time, and he came uninvited, and a little courtesy is not a respect. ”
Rong Yunxiao was reluctant to reveal his real surname, although this is not Tianji Country, but it is not far from the border of Tianji Country, plus among the people from the rivers and lakes who came to congratulate him, there may be people from Tianji Country, or people who are familiar with Tianji Country.
After all, the surname Rong is the national surname of Tianji Kingdom, and Rong Yunxiao did not want to make extraneous branches, so he took the homonym "Chen" of the word "dust" as his surname and told Cheng Ruiguang.
"Chen Gongzi, please take a seat, the old man is on trivial matters today, and he will invite Haihan if he is not well entertained. ”
Yushu's gentle and elegant Rong Yunxiao made Cheng Ruiguang happy, but because there were many distinguished guests, he had to wander around to receive them, so he had to confess to Rong Yunxiao first and get busy on his own.
