Chapter 1168 Hongmen Banquet
Moreover, Fang Longxiao promised that what happened here today had nothing to do with the shopkeeper, and if there was any loss, he would be compensated according to the price.
The staff and shopkeeper of the restaurant all got Fang Longxiao's silver, and they were naturally very happy. As for what they do, it's not up to them to intervene.
Although Murong Zheng was confident, Xue Yao, who was accompanying her, was constantly trembling, she was a woman after all, and she was a woman who had never seen any big scenes.
Murong Zheng whispered comfortingly: "Be steady, if it was Lan Yue, she wouldn't be like this." ”
Hearing Lan Yue's name, Xue Yao's hand holding the sword trembled slightly.
She was confident that her ability would not lose to Lan Yue, but why did Murong Zheng always talk about this matter. She didn't want to lose to anyone, whether it was Lan Qi who made Murong Zheng think about it, Qiu Yuling or Blue Yue.
The shopkeeper took Murong Zheng to the top floor of the restaurant, stood at the top of the stairs and shouted, "The Lord of the Heavenly Dao Alliance Murong Alliance has arrived!"
Murong Zheng is a little unfamiliar with this title, everyone calls him Murong Gongzi on weekdays, but now someone suddenly calls him the leader of the alliance, but he is really a little unaccustomed.
Murong Zheng entered the hall of the banquet, which was originally a hall for wedding banquets and other entertainments, but now Fang Longxiao has removed them all, leaving only a large table, and the windows here have all been opened, and the warm and watery wind blows in, and the scenery here is also very good, if you stand up, you can see many views of Hangzhou City by the window.
Facing Murong Zheng's arrival, Fang Longxiao stood up and arched his hand and said, "Master Murong, the old man has been waiting for a long time. ”
Although Murong Zheng did not have any hostility towards Fang Longxiao, he definitely did not have a good impression, Murong Zheng just returned the favor according to politeness and did not say anything.
And Fang Longxiao clapped his hands, and the dishes officially began, there were a total of one hundred and eight dishes on this table, which was the level of the imperial banquet.
However, Murong Zheng didn't have much appetite for these dishes, because the purpose of coming today was not just to eat a meal.
Fang Longxiao glanced at Xiao Yu beside him, and Xiao Yu walked to Murong Zheng's side with a wine jug with a peach blossom on his face.
Xiao Yu herself is a beauty who does not lose to Linshuiyue, and she deliberately dressed up today, which is even more elegant and moving, and people can't help but take a few more looks.
Although Murong Zheng is not a womanizer, he is still very willing to appreciate the beauty a few more times.
And Xue Yao, who was standing in other provinces, kept rolling her eyes, what she hated the most was this kind of vixen.
Xiao Yu filled the wine for Murong Zheng, she picked up the wine glass and handed it to Murong Zheng, and said softly: "Murong Gongzi, please~" Her voice was not coquettish or charming, but very elegant and beautiful.
Murong Zheng, who was accustomed to Yingge Yan's language, was a little unaccustomed to hearing such a voice suddenly.
It is a common practice in the wine field to have a woman accompany you at the wine table, but the woman who accompanies the wine will show her coquettish side, because only the coquettish voice can touch the man's heart more.
And Xue Yao, who was beside Murong Zheng, was now in charge of this work, and her work was the same as Xiao Yu.
The role of the two of them is equivalent to the personal secretary next to the boss. It's not just a simple entourage bodyguard.
For this work, Xue Yao is much more dedicated than Lan Yue, compared to Xue Yao, Murong Zheng prefers the capable Blue Yue, but there is one thing that Lan Yue is obviously inferior to Xue Yao for this kind of occasion.
If Blue Moon was asked to kill someone and assassinate, she would never say a word about carrying out the order. But for this kind of occasion, she is a little resistant, and Xue Yao is much better than her.
Xiao Yu toasted Murong Zheng again, but Murong Zheng didn't pick it up, because this was Xue Yao's job.
Xue Yao's sword blocked in front of Xiao Yu, and she said, "It's better to ask Sister Xiao Yu to drink this glass of wine first." ”
Xiao Yu smiled: "Could it be that Murong Gongzi is afraid that this wine is poisonous?"
Murong Zheng didn't speak, and Xue Yao replied: "Naturally not, the leader of the Fang Alliance is a martial arts senior, how could he use such a dirty method as poisoning to deal with my son-in-law." This time, my son-in-law rushed to Hangzhou from the capital thousands of miles away, this first glass of wine should be the friendship of the landlord of the Fang League, if the Fang League Lord is inconvenient, then he can only ask Sister Xiao Yu to do it for him. ”
Although Xue Yao's words are very simple, they are prickly.
Fang Longxiao just looked at Murong Zheng, and Murong Zheng just looked at Fang Longxiao, the two of them didn't care about the conversation between the two women, it was just a confrontation in the wine field, and the momentum before the negotiation was very important.
Xiao Yu picked up the wine glass and drank it all. After Xiao Yu drank the wine in the wine glass in front of them, she ordered, "Xiao Er will change a cup for Murong Gongzi." ”
Xue Yao waved her hand and said, "No need, just use Sister Xiao Yu's one." ”
Xiao Yu didn't say anything sarcastic, this is also the rule, if Xiao Yu doesn't drink it, then this first glass of wine is also Xue Yao's drink. So it doesn't make any difference between the two of them who drinks.
Only what the enemy has used is the safest.
After Xiao Yu filled the wine glass, she returned to Fang Longxiao's side, and she stood still with the wine jug.
Fang Longxiao picked up his wine glass and said to Murong Zheng at this time: "Murong Gongzi smiled, this cup should indeed be the old man's respect for you, Murong Gongzi, please!"
Murong Zheng also picked up his wine glass and said, "Lord Fang Alliance, please." ”
After three rounds of drinking and etiquette, the conversation officially began.
Murong Zheng picked up the handkerchief on the table and wiped his lips briefly, and then said, "Master Fang Meng, I think we should make a long story short and get straight to the point." ”
Fang Longxiao said with a smile: "Murong Gongzi is really a hero of the rivers and lakes who is quick to talk, since this is the case, then the old man will also speak out." ”
Murong Zheng smiled and said, "It's okay for Alliance Master Fang to speak out. ”
Fang Longxiao said: "Young Master Murong should know what the root cause of the turmoil in the martial arts is. ”
Murong Zheng said with a smile: "Naturally, there is not enough unity within the martial arts, if all the sects abandon the view of the gate, then there will be no more disputes." This is also the reason why I founded the Heavenly Dao Alliance. ”
Fang Longxiao nodded, although the two of them both knew that this reason was nonsense, untrustworthy, and fooling people, but these words must be said.
Fang Longxiao said: "In this case, the old man has a plan, I don't know what Murong Gongzi thinks?"
Murong Zheng replied politely: "The leader of the Fang Alliance is the senior, but it is okay for the leader of the Fang Alliance to speak, and the younger generation must listen quietly." ”
Fang Longxiao clapped his hands, and at this time, someone lifted a screen out, but this screen was completely different from ordinary screens. Because the carved embroidery on this screen is not flowers, nor fish and insects, nor beautiful landscapes, but a map.
A map of the Ming Dynasty's territory.
