When Chen Yuanfu and Ji Feiyun chatted, they often said that the people in Jingxiang were outstanding and insightful people lived in the mountains and villages.

Ji Feiyun's arrival in Xiangyang City was September 15, and the birthday banquet of Cui Shan, the head of the Cui family, was scheduled to be held on September 18, with three days to go. Ji Feiyun entered the city and found a small shop in the middle of the city to settle down, one is cheap, and the other is not publicized, he doesn't want to attract anyone's attention now, he just wants to secretly get to know the people from all walks of life who come to pay homage.

This inn called 'Xiangyang Xiaojia', located in a small street in the residential area of Xiangyang City, is close to the city wall in the west of the city, the inn is a two-story small wooden building, the first floor is the lobby, there are a few tables, to provide meals to the guests, the second floor is the guest room, Ji Feiyun lives in a guest room to the west.

There are two reasons why Ji Feiyun chose this place, one is that it is only two streets away from Cui's house, which is not too far, and the other is that it is close to the city wall, which is convenient for entering and exiting the city.

Ji Feiyun put his belongings in the guest room, didn't even bring the phoenix sword, and changed into the dress of a scholar, the literary style in Xiangyang is prosperous, and scholars can be seen everywhere, which is also convenient to hide his identity, in fact, no one knows him, but he thinks that the more ordinary he is, the better.

Downstairs, he first wandered around Xiangyang City, looking at the scenery in Xiangyang City, it was late afternoon, there were many pedestrians on the street, Ji Feiyun saw a lot of people from the rivers and lakes entering Xiangyang City, and they all came to Cui's house to pay their respects.

As one of the eight great families of the famous religion, and located in the land of Jingxiang, the Cui family has always been a talented and literary person, whether it is in the court or in the rivers and lakes, they all enjoy fame, and the head of the Cui family, Cui Shan, is still the history of Jingzhou, the feudal official who guards one side.

This time, the 60th birthday of the Cui family's head of the family, it will definitely be a gathering of dignitaries and nobles, and it will be a grand meeting in the Tiannan and earth realms.

Ji Feiyun walked around the streets of Xiangyang City to see that the sun was already in the west, and then found a luxurious and lively restaurant and walked in.

The guy at the door saw him dressed as a scholar, thinking that it was not the son of a family, but also a scholar who read the sage book, so he greeted him with a smile.

Ji Feiyun followed the guy to the second floor, found a two-person case in a corner of the hall, sat down, and asked for a few special stir-fried dishes in the Xiangyang area at random, and also asked for a pot of wine.

While waiting for the wine and food, Ji Feiyun looked at the people drinking and chatting in the hall, although it is not a meal now, but it is full of seats here, except for the drinking party of some local virtuous people, many of them are from other places at a glance, most of them are talking about the Cui family's birthday, saying how luxurious the Cui family's banquet has been over the years, and how it is like a market, and this time is the 60th birthday of Cui Shan, the head of the Cui family, it will be even more grand.

"I heard that the imperial court will send the second prince Qi Wangyou to celebrate the Cui family's birthday on behalf of the royal family. Said a guest sitting at a table next to him.

"What's so curious about this, if it is said that Emperor Ziwu is here today, it is not an exaggeration, the eight great families are united in the same spirit, and the Sima Dynasty relies on the support of the eight great families. The other said, with the strength of the wine.

"If Emperor Wu comes in person, then the Cui family will earn a lot of face. Another said.

"I said, everyone, have you heard? The Cui family's birthday banquet actually has another thing. One whispered.

"Isn't there anything else? Isn't it just to pay tribute to Cui Shan's birthday? What else can there be?"

The man looked around, then leaned over and said, "I heard that this time the eight great families took this opportunity to gather to discuss a major matter. ”

"Oh, what's the matter?" intrigued everyone at the table.

The man who spoke took a sip of wine, sat up straight, and said leisurely, "I don't know about this." ”

"Cut!" everyone sighed, and then they all picked up their glasses and began to drink.

Ji Feiyun drank wine while listening to the words of the people around him, since he reached the Upper Xuan Realm, the senses of his body have changed a lot, as long as he listens attentively, even the voices of the people on the street outside, he can hear clearly, and the conversations of the people in the restaurant have fallen into his ears word for word.

The information that this person said just now caught his attention, the eight great families gathered and came all the way, it will definitely not be as simple as paying homage to Shou, and the Sima family sent the most favored Qi Wangyou by Emperor Wu, from this point, it can be seen that the eight great families will definitely discuss something in this birthday visit, or reach a decision.

Ji Feiyun lowered his head and thought, could this matter be related to him?

He thought about it, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he didn't know what it was, whether it would be related to him, how could he know? Besides, he was a nobody, how could the matter of the eight great families have something to do with him, laughed at himself, then took a sip of the wine glass, and listened attentively to the conversation of the people around him.

Ji Feiyun noticed a table by the window, there were two men and two women sitting at that table, one of the men was an old man, the other was a young man, and both women were young women of twenty-eight years old.

They were all dressed in Taoist costumes, except for the old man, who was dressed in gray sermon clothes, the rest of the men and two women were all dressed in white like snow, and the four of them gave people a feeling of being out of the dust.

Ji Feiyun couldn't help but pay attention to them, pricking up his ears to hear what they had to say, the old man was drinking by himself, and the young man was telling jokes with the woman who looked a little younger, and the other woman was eating intently, occasionally looking up at the window, Ji Feiyun was attracted by the woman's appearance, and looked at it a few more times, only to see that she was dressed in palace clothes, with her hair tied on the top of her head and tied with a white ribbon, with a goose egg face, picturesque eyebrows, and autumn water in her eyes, with a gentleness, like a fairy out of the dust. The overall spirit gives people a dignified feeling, such as everyone's ladies.

Ji Feiyun unconsciously compared her with Chenyue and Qingqing in his heart, and suddenly he shook his head with a smile, what is the matter, how did he remember that these messes were coming, he calmed down, then took a sip of wine, and listened carefully.

I only heard the young man and the woman talk about what they had seen and heard along the way, they seemed to be going out for the first time, and they felt very new about the things they saw along the way, and they began to talk about the birthday celebration of the Cui family this time.

I only heard the younger woman say: "Senior Brother Qi, you said that this time the head of the Cui family, Cui Shan's 60th birthday, will there be many people coming?"

"Of course, the eight great families of the famous sect will naturally come, and on the rivers and lakes, in addition to our Zhuangmen, the big sects such as the Shang League, the Bashu Wu Family, and the Eastern Emperor Sect will also arrive, and maybe those hidden hundred sects will also send people. The young man surnamed Qi said.

The word 'Zhuangmen' fell into Ji Feiyun's ears, he suddenly trembled, and the hand holding the wine glass paused in the air, this is one of the main purposes of his coming to Xiangyang this time, he didn't expect to meet the people of Zhuangmen here, to be exact, the people of Zhuangmen of Zizhulin.

Ji Feiyun suddenly felt a burst of excitement in his heart, and a kind of loss, excited that he finally saw the people related to him, and the loss was that these people were not only not his peers, but also might be enemies.

"Senior Sister Qin, I've heard that Cui Li, the second son of the Cui family, has always admired you, maybe the Cui family will take this opportunity to propose to you this time!" the young woman said half-jokingly to the woman next to her.

"Senior Sister Lin, what are you talking nonsense!" said the woman surnamed Qin, her face flushed slightly.

"What nonsense I said, it was meant to be. The woman surnamed Lin argued.

"Ling'er, don't say a word, eat. The old man spoke.

"Oh. The woman named Ling'er stuck out her tongue at the woman surnamed Lu and began to bury her head in eating.

Ji Feiyun couldn't listen to other people anymore, all his thoughts were on these four people, and finally met the people from Zizhulin Zhuangmen, he must figure out what happened back then, since his master briefly told him about the things of the year, he vaguely felt that the old man in the dream also had some kind of connection with Zhuangmen, and his own life experience may also be related to Zhuangmen, he had to figure it out.

After the four of them finished eating, they paid the bill and went downstairs, Ji Feiyun also hurriedly called the guy to settle the account, and the extra money didn't wait for the guy to find it, so he hurriedly followed the four people downstairs, the four people did not stop on the street, but went all the way to the west, stopped in front of an inn on the street near the back door of Cui's house, they looked around, and then entered the inn called 'Fengyue Lou'.

Ji Feiyun watched from a distance, this Fengyue Building was only one street away from the small house in Xiangyang where he lived, he wandered around the street outside for a while, and didn't see the four people come out, thinking that he had just arrived in Xiangyang and went to the inn to rest first.

He walked around Cui's Mansion again, looked at the situation around Cui's Mansion, and slowly walked back to the inn where he lived.

What he has to do now is to follow the whereabouts of the four people in Zizhulin Zhuangmen, and see if they are all in contact with those people, this time he came to Xiangyang except to celebrate the Cui family's birthday, there are other things. The second is that he wants to get an invitation card to enter the gate of Cui's house, otherwise he can't even enter the gate of Cui's house, this is what he heard someone say when he was eating in the restaurant, there are many people who come to Cui's house to celebrate his birthday this time, and he can't enter the gate of Cui's house without an invitation card from Cui's house.

This is a headache, he doesn't know anyone here, and he doesn't know the Cui family, and there is no reason to celebrate the Cui family's birthday, he can't use the identity of the head of the Zhuang family to go, don't say that people don't believe it, even if he believes it, with the attitude of the eight great families towards the previous Zhuang family, he will definitely be treated as a flood beast, and he will be treated as a beast.
