29 During the Banquet (2)
At this time, when Huang Chang said this, the little Taoist boy jumped up in fright, and said again and again with a crying voice:
"Don't burn me, don't burn me with that dragon!"
Huang Chang deliberately lowered his voice:
"Oh, it turned out that you found out, this is troublesome, how can I keep it a secret......?
At last, the little boy could not bear it any longer, and ran crying, shouting as he ran:
"Don't burn me! Master, help, Master!"
Many people around saw this scene, and immediately looked at Huang Chang with all kinds of strange meanings in their eyes. Huang Chang was a little embarrassed, and said in his heart that this little ghost was quite cunning, and the trick of pushing the boat down the river was very good, but it tricked me.
- Quite like I was back then!
muttered to himself in his heart, of course, his face did not show anything, and he still walked forward calmly.
——There was a small pavilion in front of him, and there was no one else in the pavilion at this time, it was the old Taoist priest. The boy hid behind him, tugging at Master's robe, and peeked carefully through the slit in his sleeve.
Huang Chang walked to a place about dozens of zhang away from the pavilion, then stood still and stopped moving forward—this distance was the best position for immortal cultivators to fight.
"Huang Daoyou. ”
"Lou Guan Lord. ”
"Xuanyang Guanlou Wanjun. ”
"West Kunlun Huang Chang. ”
——According to the rules of the rivers and lakes, the two stood at a distance, and gave each other etiquette and common names. And at this moment, many people who were standing on the periphery and quietly paying attention to this place were secretly taken aback.
——This kid from the Huang family actually acted as an equals with the master of Louguan!
............
Holding a glass of light wine, standing on a rockery from afar, seemingly leisurely, but his eyes were always staring at a pavilion in front of him, watching an old Taoist priest and a young man meet from the beginning with a slight smell of gunpowder, to talking and laughing with each other, and even entering the pavilion together, and the whole process of sitting and talking about Taoism...... Until someone came up and interrupted his observation.
"Tiandu, but do you want to call here?"
It was no one else who came over, it was the host of this banquet, Baonan County Shou Wushuang, although he often invited guests, but in most cases he let everyone take care of himself, and I was in the middle of the day with his own group of beautiful concubines, relying on the red and green to take care of himself, and rarely needed to greet the guests in person.
However, this time it was an exception, because it was no one else standing here, it was the little marquis of the Ji family, the future patriarch of the Ji family who would inherit the entire Bao country in the future, Ji Tiandu.
Of course, it is impossible for a mortal to be able to take on the heavy responsibility of the future family, and Ji Tiandu is also a cultivator, and his divine consciousness is released, and he has already passed the middle realm. Even compared to the elite disciples on Kunlun Mountain, the difference between cultivation and cultivation is not big. However, Ji Tian was very respectful in front of Ji Wushuang, and he did not slack off at all because his uncle was just a mortal.
"My uncle used to be friends with the young man in the corridor, and after decades of friendship, it is now a good story for us to praise the country. The little nephew was also envious. If you can make a friend of the same age, temperament and temper, then the next 100 years will not be boring. ”
When Ji Wushuang heard this, he laughed:
"Your uncle and I can't help it, the mortal body can't cultivate the immortal path, so I have to take on a secular official position, and I can be more comfortable making friends. Anyway, with the help of family power, you only need to make a monk and Taoist friend, and you can have a little self-preservation. When my life is over, the old Taoist priest will still be idle and wild, and he will not involve others. ”
"But Tiandu, you yourself are a cultivator of immortals, and if you take on the responsibility of the family in the future, the guest secretary you hire will have to advance and retreat with our family for decades and hundreds of years, and you really can't decide at will...... Let Lou Laodao help you weigh and weigh first. The old Taoist priest has decades of eyesight, and his vision of seeing people is not bad after all, whether the young man has the ability and temperament, and let's take a look first. ”
"My uncle's words are indeed good words, and they have been taught by heaven. ”
Ji Tiandu nodded in acceptance, and then raised a glass of thanks to his uncle, who also raised a glass in response, and the two touched the glass, and then drank it all in their own hands.
............
On the other side, there was also a pair of eagle-like eyes staring at the inside of the pavilion, and at the same time, he did not relax the movement on the rockery - it was Su Tiecheng, the third head of the Baohou Mansion, and his close confidant Master Liu, who also appeared in this banquet.
"It seems that the little marquis is still very concerned about him. ”
"Don't worry, boss, our news has been released. Recent rumors in the city...... It really helped that kid make a good reputation, but it happened to be the kind of reputation that the little marquis didn't like very much. ”
"In addition, the county guard's side was also quite unhappy after hearing that Lou Laodao had lost face. Lord County Shou and Lou Lao Dao have a good relationship, and I believe that I will not have a good impression of that kid. ”
Su Tiecheng listened to Master Liu's report, and at the same time swept his eyes around, always keeping an eye on the situation of those "important places" - he did not come here to rest, but to understand and grasp information. Su San's chief steward never slackened, which was the secret of his ability to overwhelm many old people of the Hou Mansion in just twenty years and become one of the three chief stewards of the Hou Mansion.
But at the same time, there are no words of praise in the mouth:
“...... Well done, Mr. Liu is worthy of being a resourceful man, and with a few words, he can make the situation favorable to us. This year, the dividends of the two Zhuangzi in the north of the city, Mr. can get more than one percent. ”
Mr. Liu was also very proud:
"Thank you, Steward, for your kindness. That kid is young and knowledgeable after all, even if he has learned some immortal magic and Taoism, how can he understand that people are terrifying...... Huh? That kid actually scared Lou Laodao's beloved disciple into crying? Hahaha, he really can't live because of his own sin. This can confirm the rumors of his violent temperament, and the old man Lou favors this apprentice the most, so he may fight on the spot. ”
“...... Alas, it's a pity that they couldn't fight, and they still saluted each other? His Xianmen etiquette is quite formal...... What? It's a peer relationship! That old man is willing to accept it?"
Listening to Master Liu's startled chatter beside him, Su Tiecheng was expressionless, and only said indifferently:
"This is the banquet of the county guard, even if Lou Laodao is dissatisfied, he will not have a seizure here...... I'm afraid that this Huang is really capable of taking advantage of Lou Lao Dao, but it's not common. ”
Hearing that the other party is really strong, then Master Liu is a literati after all, but his legs are a little weak:
"This ...... Boss, speaking of which, we also have no grudges against him, and there is no need to make enemies for no reason, right? Now that the little marquis has no intention of recruiting him, don't we need to pay more attention to this person?"
