Chapter 20: Sixty Birthdays
The invitation was sent out, and all the heroes gathered at the Mei family tomorrow. I heard that the people who came were all well-known figures in Suzhou, including relatives of the Mei family, three aunts and two uncles, beggars all the way, Humen all the way, Yamen County Ling, and Guo Yitian.
In the blink of an eye, Master Mei has gone through sixty years, and the joy of getting a son in old age has made Mei Ruoxue a collection of thousands of favors. Over the years, Mei Ruoxue has been the treasure of Master Mei's palm, holding it for fear of falling off, and holding it for fear of melting. And Mei Ruoxue also knows that her father's love is like a mountain, she is grateful for this family affection, and is willing to be Master Mei's intimate little padded jacket, and chats with her father when she has nothing to do.
Although there are servants to take care of Master Mei, Mei Ruoxue always feels that she has not done enough. From time to time, the Biluo spring tea that the old man likes to drink, and when the weather is cold, it will remind the servants to add clothes and keep the old man warm.
Tomorrow is Master Mei's sixtieth birthday, and Mei Ruoxue also instructed Dong Xiang to buy some desserts that the master likes to eat. Although it is not very valuable, it is a little bit of Mei Ruoxue's heart.
Guo Yitian, who received the invitation, was very worried, because he and Guan Dadong had some holidays. On the day of the competition, he robbed his favorite. In the end, it broke up unhappily. In the battle of Tianwang Mountain, it was he who helped kill the flower thief and avenged his father, and the two were both enemies and friends. And Master Mei did not welcome him to accompany Huajia on his birthday, perhaps very dissatisfied with him. Guo Yitian blamed himself, he shouldn't have ruined that family business in the first place. Lin Xian'er, who was slapped in the face, must still be angry with herself, after all, she is her fiancée in name. It's just that she dares to love and hate, and wants to hold herself tightly in the palm of her hand, and there is no other private space.
The bright moon outside the window is shining, and it is so difficult for the two to be happy. Hating someone can kill a rival in love, but for the person who is loved, isn't it a kind of harm? The silhouette in the house moves with the fluttering leaves, reflecting a painting of light and shadow.
Love is the oldest puzzle, and to solve it, one must approach it with all one's heart. Time may be the antidote, or it may be the poison that pierces the intestines. The sorrow pressed on Guo Yitian's heart and lingered. Floating life is like a dream, there is wine today and drunk today.
The next day, the sun was high. Characters from all walks of life came to visit one after another, congratulated Master Mei on his birthday, and brought their respective gifts. There are many types, including supplements, gold and silver jewelry, or money.
Mr. Mei was in good spirits on happy occasions and set up twenty tables for a wedding banquet to entertain guests. After everyone arrived, Master Mei did it first as a respect. More than 200 people came to the lobby, all of whom were relatives and friends from near and far.
The guests began to congratulate Mr. Mei and express their gratitude in return. The beggars were muttering something all the way, and said, "I heard that Master Mei is a hospitable person. This banquet is invited from all over the world, and the people who come are either rich or expensive, so don't be emotional when you get drunk, otherwise Miss Mei will be unhappy. The young master of Humen has been in love with her for a long time, so it's better for us to keep a low profile. ”
The nineteen tables were already overcrowded, and for some reason Guo Yitian was sitting alone at a table, drinking alone. He felt an inexplicable sense of alienation, which was sadder than indifference.
"Why are you drinking alone?" Come, I'll toast you!" Mei Ruoxue first raised her glass to accompany the wine.
"It's just a little bit unaccustomed. Come on, I'm done, you feel free. I wish your father a blessing like the East China Sea and a longevity than Nanshan. Guo Yitian touched Mei Ruoxue's wine glass.
Master Mei gave Mei Ruoxue a look and told her not to be too enthusiastic about her lover, but Mei Ruoxue didn't think so. After all, Guo Yitian is not a popular person in the Mei family, but Mei Ruoxue insisted on inviting Guo Yitian to the banquet. Master Mei lost his temper because of this, and finally reluctantly compromised.
"My little girl will cheer you up!" Master Mei clapped his hands, and the servant brought a yaoqin.
Mei Ruoxue returned to the seat in front of Yaoqin, and when Fuqin was in the wonderful place. Suddenly, halfway through the killing, he was Bai Lang, stretching out the happy sword in his hand.
Everyone had different expressions on their faces, but they were like ants on a hot pot, afraid of bad luck. Guan Dadong immediately made a decision and said, "Don't panic, everyone, the masters are gathered together now." Bai Lang is a member of the Demon Sect and an enemy of the Central Plains Martial Arts. Whoever takes off his head will pay a great deal of money. ”
The heroes of all walks of life drew their swords and attacked this group of uninvited guests. Before Bai Lang could draw his sword, he threw all the opponents to the ground one by one with his bare hands.
Guo Yitian, who was drinking on the side, couldn't stand it anymore, and drew his sword out of the sheath majestic. A sword rushed towards Bai Lang, and Bai Lang dodged the attack sideways. The left and right attacks were skillfully resolved by Bai Lang. Guo Yitian heroically sympathized with each other and said, "Draw your sword, otherwise you will be injured." ”
"I don't kill unrelated people, don't stop me, get out of the way!" Bai Lang replied coldly.
"What are you here for?" asked Guo Yitian.
Bai Lang was silent, but like a ruthless killer. After several fights, Guo Yitian's sword still did not gain the upper hand.
"It's none of your business! I just want to kill a villain. Bai Lang dodged left and right.
Guan Dadong understood that Guo Yitian didn't really fight Bai Lang at all, so he made a decisive move. The Qianli swordsmanship is domineering, and he beat Bai Lang to the ground in three strokes and two blows. Guo Yitian watched from the sidelines, not wanting to make a big deal out of it.
Bai Lang saw the flaw, and after blocking a sword, he flew and kicked Guan Dadong back a few feet away, and then sneered: "The Thousand Miles Sword Technique is nothing more than that, you*." ”
There were more than 20 knights who had been knocked to the ground before, and they got up one after another and continued to fight. But it was too late, Bai Lang pointed at Mei Ruoxue.
When the head of the sword was a few inches away from Mei Ruoxue, everyone looked at each other. It was too late for Guan Dadong to save the scene, and Master Mei's mood fluctuated so much that he almost fainted.
Saying that the time was slow and the time was fast, Guo Yitian flew away with lightning speed, and resisted the impact with the sword body. Mei Ruoxue escaped, and everyone's hanging hearts were put down.
"Why did you kill Mei Ruoxue, what is her crime?" Guo Yitian kept resisting.
"No why, she's damned!"
"If you can eliminate the hatred in your heart by killing me, you can kill me!" Guo Yitian rushed away from Bai Lang's sword and stopped attacking.
"You want to die for her, and I'll do it for you. The murderous aura in Bai Lang's eyes became transparent.
Guo Yitian put down the Xuantian Cold Iron Sword and closed his eyes. When Bai Lang raised his sword and stabbed at Guo Yitian, a flying needle stabbed directly into Bai Lang's arm. The Sword of Happiness fell, and Bai Lang was unable to defend himself against an unknown and powerful enemy.
More than 20 people swarmed towards Bai Lang, and Bai Lang resisted. As a result, another flying needle struck, and Bai Lang flew into the air to escape. Stepping on everyone's heads, Bai Lang prepared to escape.
Guan Dadong shouted: "Don't let the people in the Demon Sect run away, go and chase after them!"
It was Guo Yitian who ran to the front. After several exchanges, neither side took advantage. Then Bai Lang and Guo Yitian palmed each other to fight for internal strength, and the two of them began to have white eyes, and the center of the circle exploded, making it impossible for ordinary people to get close. But Guan Dadong was indomitable and wanted to make up for Guo Yitian's back with a palm of internal force to shake Bai Lang out of internal injuries.
Seeing that there were pursuers behind him, Guo Yitian pretended to be defeated, stopped in time, was shocked several feet away, and fell to the ground. By the time Guan Dadong arrived, Bai Lang had already fled.
Yamen County ordered Song Yuming to announce that he would make every effort to search for Bai Lang, and if he found it, he would be arrested immediately
