Chapter Seventy-Nine: A Cup of Wine Releases Military Power (2)
Yangzhou City, neither big nor small, with a radius of about fifty miles, although it is still nominally the sphere of influence of the He family, but in fact it has long been dominated by those family forces headed by the Lin family.
At noon, a team of people and horses slowly walked from the forest outside the city, which was the palanquin of the patriarch He.
After a night and a half of a day's journey, I arrived in Yangzhou City at noon.
I saw that the gate of Yangzhou City had already been opened by the arrival of the patriarch, and there were two rows of guards at the gate, holding halberds and serious faces. Standing in the middle was the patriarch of the Lin family, Lin Feng. At this time, there is a spring breeze on the front, waiting for the coming of the He family's sedan chair, but in this smile, there is an infinite killing opportunity hidden!
"Hehe, Lin has been waiting here for a long time, and he has called Brother He from afar, and it has been hard. Lin Feng helped Patriarch He get down from the sedan chair and said with a smile.
Patriarch He seemed to be very surprised by Patriarch Lin's actions, and the corners of his mouth were very far-fetched: "It's okay, it's my honor to dine with Patriarch Lin." Not to mention that this is only one hundred and fifty miles, even if it is one thousand and five hundred miles, I He and someone will still come here!"
Just as Lin Feng was wondering, the two warriors came together carrying a piece of jade jade with a fine texture.
In fact, jadeite is not a rare jadeite, but jadeite of this size and pure and flawless is really rare, and one of the ten thousand pieces of jadeite may not be found. If it were the He family two years ago, if there was such a piece of jade, then the He family would not just give it away, but now for the He family, these are no longer important, they know very well what is the most important thing at the moment, so they are willing to give it up.
Lin Feng glanced at Patriarch He, as if he was stunned for a moment, but the next moment he instantly laughed, and he was not polite, he accepted this piece of jade boldly, and smiled at Patriarch He: "Then I will thank Patriarch He for his generous gift, today's banquet, but you must have a good meal!" After speaking, Lin Feng made a gesture of please.
It can be seen that the streets of Yangzhou City at this time are already empty, needless to say, it is definitely prepared by Lin Feng in advance.
Whether it was from the initial welcome or the conversation just now, Patriarch He was very surprised in his heart. It seemed that what Lin Feng did was very different from what he thought in his heart, and even made Patriarch He a little incredulous at this time, did this Lin family really just want to invite himself to dinner?
Of course not!
This was just to make Patriarch He lower his vigilance, but in fact it was done.
The 100 horsemen did not follow all into the city, but only 30 entered the city, and the remaining 70 remained on the edge of the city wall. There were also several elders who went in, including the Great Elder, who stood by the patriarch's side all the time.
Soon, Lin Feng led everyone through the outer city, to the inner city, and finally into the most central palace in Yangzhou City.
The banquet was placed in a very bright hall, and when Patriarch He arrived, more than a dozen dancing girls ran out from the side, posing in various charming poses. Not only that, but there is also a jade person holding a pipa, singing the sounds of heaven, and the girl who is still holding the pipa and half-covering her face is even more unbearable to watch from time to time. It's just that for the already old Patriarch He, these things are no longer too attractive.
Not to mention the time when it's so tense.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, Brother He seems to be a lot haggard?" Lin Feng arranged for Patriarch He and several elders, including the Great Elder, to do it, and why did Patriarch add a glass of wine.
Patriarch He wanted to stop it, but Lin Feng insisted on asking Patriarch He to increase his wine, so he had to say nothing more.
"People are getting old!" Patriarch He sighed with emotion, perhaps Patriarch He hadn't realized that his vigilance was quietly disintegrating at this time, whether it was the pipa that lingered or the dancing girl who was sinking into the fish and geese, all of them distracted everyone's attention.
"It's Patriarch Lin, who has always been in high spirits, and he has qi on his neck, all of them are dragons and tigers, and they are colorful, this is the image of the Son of Heaven!" Patriarch He smiled and drank the wine that Lin Feng had added for himself.
Lin Feng smiled and didn't speak again, why did the patriarch add a glass of wine.
"Sorry, I'm late. ”
At this time, a strange man suddenly appeared at the door of the lobby, perhaps unfamiliar to Patriarch He, but not to Lin Feng.
At this time, standing at the door of the lobby was the patriarch of the Zhou family, Zhou Yang. A young man came slowly in Zhou Yang, and he didn't have to think about it, it should be Zhou Qing, the son of the Zhou family.
Zhou Qing was injured by Ling Hu Lin at the martial arts conference a year ago, although the injury was not so serious, it was by no means easy, but at this time, it seemed that there were no sequelae, compared to the family for this matter, it took a lot of effort, and even invested a lot of resources.
The young man has an eyebrow stick tied to his back, and he is domineering, which is different from his father Zhou Yang. Zhou Yang's aura at this time is completely like a dying old man, but there is an indescribable stability in this old man, no matter what, he is also the patriarch of the Zhou family, and he was once one of the big names in Kyushu.
People have seen many winds and waves, and over time, their hearts will grow old. But having said that, no one present dared to despise this person.
As mentioned before, he used to be one of the big names in Kyushu, even if it is now in the twilight of life, he will definitely not fall to the point of being bullied by dogs in Pingyang, and the hungry camel is bigger than the horse, which has a bit of this taste.
Zhou Yang is worthy of being a young man with aristocratic education, and his every move at this time reveals a strong aristocratic atmosphere, for some reason, Patriarch He at this time is still a little ashamed. But of course, Zhou Qing, who was born in a wealthy family, has had to receive this kind of aristocratic education since he was a child, especially etiquette, which is a kind of heart! Years of rigorous training have created the current Zhou Qing, but in a sense, it is this kind of large amount of red tape that erases part of Zhou Qing's original cultivation time.
In comparison, Ling Hu is much better. Ling Hu Lin didn't learn much about aristocratic etiquette, and he generally mastered it after many years of hearing and seeing.
As a result, Ling Hulone's childhood was basically spent with the sword.
"The Zhou clan has come from a long time and worked hard. Your son...... is really suave, a talent, and will become a great tool in the future. Patriarch He added a glass of wine to Zhou Yang and drank it together.
Patriarch He praised falsely. Zhou Qing bowed to Patriarch He, and then found a place for himself to sit down, without the slightest emotional catharsis in the whole process, as if he would always have that expression.
Obviously, compared with Zhou Qing a year ago, Zhou Qing two years later has not changed ordinarily, whether it is inner temperament or cultivation.
It is not difficult to guess that this year, Zhou Qing must have spent a period of devil's training, if it is Ling Hu Lin and a battle at this time, he really can't say whether he can fight. Ling Hu Lone's arm is broken, his strength is to be greatly reduced, although he has recuperated for a year, but after all, he has only recovered his strength, and more of them are swordsmanship, sword intent Ling Hu Lone has only mastered a little fur. The road of the sword, Ling Hu Lonely still has a long way to go, at least, it is impossible to enter the house in the short term.
Everything has its own way, and so does Zhou Qing's stick.
It's just that among the eighteen weapons at the moment, the most used is the sword, and the most prosperous is the sword. But that doesn't mean other weapons aren't powerful.
Long before the Linghu family appeared, there was a stick master, which can really be described as a battle against heaven and earth.
It is said that back then, this stick god was alone in the army of 2,400 troops, and he was not afraid at all, and he also proudly said: "This Kyushu is so small, it is barely enough for me to toss alone!" This sentence is still circulating and has become the after-dinner conversation of countless people.
It's just Zhou Qing's way, what is going on, it's still undecided. As the eldest young master of the Zhou family, it is naturally destined to be no worse, but it depends on Zhou Qing himself how far he can go in the end.
In the end, the final result is nothing more than feathering and ascending to Sendai, but no one has been able to do this for three hundred years now.
Millions of years ago, the Heavenly Dao collapsed, the Ten Thousand Daos collapsed, and all living beings returned to mortals, and it was not until nearly a thousand years that they slowly recovered.
Not to mention the feather ascension, even the basic enlightenment is not so easy.
