Chapter 363: A Feast for the Wealthy (2)
Lu Xiaoyuan shuddered unconsciously and said, "I didn't say anything, go to sleep." Pursed his lips and blew, the air flow condensed into a thin line, extinguished the candle flame, closed his eyes and lay down.
lived in the ruined temple for two days, and in the early morning of this day, Lu Xiaoyuan said in his heart: "I came to Jinzhou to disturb the Jinzhou Hou Zhaoxian, but now I am wanted by the Jinzhou official, and it is not interesting to stay here, so it is better to leave as soon as possible." ”
Thinking like this, he said to Monk Daoyan: "Monk, thanks to your hospitality for many days, I will leave later." ”
Monk Daoyan ate rabbit meat and said vaguely: "Yes? That's good, forgive the monk for not sending it." ”
He has been speaking coldly to Lu Xiaoyuan for the past few days, Lu Xiaoyuan thought that he would say at least a few kind words at this time, but seeing that he was only concerned about eating, and there was still some happiness and relief in his expression, he couldn't help but get angry and changed his words: "You don't want me to stay, do you? ”
Monk Daoyan was taken aback, choked on food, coughed repeatedly, and said, "You're not leaving?"
Lu Xiaoyuan smiled: "Yes, I won't leave, I'll stay with you for a few more days." ”
Monk Daoyan turned around and didn't say a word, and after a long time, he turned back and said with a smile: "It's okay if you don't leave, the monk just has a feast at night, let's go and have a big meal together." ”
Lu Xiaoyuan said strangely: "Someone else invited you to dinner?"
Monk Daoyan said, "Why can't someone invite me to dinner? But this feast is not so easy to eat." ”
Lu Xiaoyuan said: "Why is it not easy?"
Monk Daoyan said: "This feast is set up in the mansion of the great general Wei Wensheng, you have done it in Kuangtian City before, if you go to Wei Wensheng's mansion, isn't it looking for death? ”
Lu Xiaoyuan saw that he seemed to look down on himself between his words, and shouted: "Go and go! Not to mention Wei Wensheng's mansion, it is the emperor's palace, and the master can come and go freely, afraid of something!"
Monk Daoyan said, "Do you really want to go?"
Lu Xiaoyuan looked resolute and said, "Go! There is good wine and good food, why don't you go?"
Dao Yan and Shang Huo stood up and said, "Wait." ”
Half an hour later, Monk Daoyan returned, he had already changed into a set of gorgeous and neat clothes, handed over another set of clothes to Lu Xiaoyuan, and said, "You put on this dress tonight, follow me to Wei Wensheng's mansion, don't talk nonsense, everything is handled by the monk." ”
Lu Xiaoyuan looked Monk Daoyan up and down, and said with a smile: "People rely on clothes, horses and saddles, and if you wear beautiful clothes, I don't dare to recognize you." ”
That night, the two went to Kuangtian City, and Lu Xiaoyuan asked: "I killed Mu Long, but Jinzhou wants me, will I be recognized?"
Monk Daoyan said: "If you pull the brim of your hat lower, no one will dare to lift your hat." ”
Lu Xiaoyuan pulled down his hat suspiciously, and when he came to the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city checked their identities, and the monk Daoyan didn't know what to hand to the soldiers, and the soldiers immediately stood in awe and bent down to make way.
The two passed through the city gate and went straight to Wei Wensheng's mansion. Today is Wei Wensheng's birthday, and there is an endless stream of guests, and there are at least a dozen servants at the door to welcome guests. Monk Daoyan handed over the name post, and the servant said in a loud voice: "Mr. Xie of the imperial capital has arrived!"
The group walked out of the house quickly, led by an official in his thirties, his eyebrows flew obliquely, his eyes were shining, Lu Xiaoyuan saw him, and secretly became vigilant, this person was Wei Wensheng.
Behind him, one of his black hair covered half of his face, and the other half of his pale face had a hint of green, which was the ghost of the Nine Ghosts.
Wei Wensheng looked at Monk Daoyan for a long time, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xie, Wei has admired his name for a long time, but he is just a side of fate, thanks to the blessing of Lord Liu, he can finally see his dignity, how lucky." ”
Monk Daoyan said: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." If it weren't for the fact that Brother Longyang wanted to organize the annual poetry and sword conference for the saint, he would have come in person a long time ago. He specially asked Xie to apologize to General Wei. ”
Lu Xiaoyuan said in his heart: "Listening to what the two of them said, it seems that Wei Wensheng has a friend in an important position in the emperor, named Liu Longyang, he can't come in person and entrust another person to the banquet, and Wei Wensheng and this person are just admiring each other, and they haven't met." ”
Wei Wensheng said: "You're welcome. Saying that, his eyes swept to Lu Xiaoyuan, Lu Xiaoyuan thought to himself that this person was very shrewd, but don't show him the clues, he was silent at the moment, but secretly used his true qi and was ready to go.
Although Wei Wensheng couldn't see Lu Xiaoyuan's face clearly, he also knew that some capable people had strange temperaments, and the ghosts under his own hands were an example, so he didn't delve into it.
In fact, the "Longyang Virtuous Brother" mentioned by Monk Daoyan is another name for the official surnamed Liu, which is rarely known, plus Monk Daoyan knows the section of "Poetry and Sword Conference", Wei Wensheng can basically determine that the person in front of him is "Mr. Xie", and immediately introduced the two into the hall.
Wei Wensheng's mansion is not very luxurious, he is born as a warrior in the rivers and lakes, there are a lot of monsters and beasts in the house, and the hall is used for decoration are also swords and sharp weapons, and there is a scroll hanging behind the screen, writing "The sword walks the rivers and lakes, and the heart is tied to the temple".
When Monk Daoyan saw the scroll, he did not appreciate it, but knelt on the ground and kowtowed nine times.
This scroll was written by Wei Wensheng when he met Ji Wukui in the imperial capital, but Liao Gaofeng, the general of Jinzhou at that time, was gaining momentum, and he was afraid of arousing Liao Gaofeng's jealousy, so he did not publicize it. At this time, seeing that the monk Daoyan gave him the gift of worshipping the Son of Heaven, the last doubt in his heart was dispelled.
Back in the main hall, Wei Wensheng pointed to the most conspicuous table and said, "Mr. Xie is from far away from the imperial capital, but he is a distinguished guest, and he should be the chief. ”
Monk Daoyan said: "Today is General Wei's birthday, how dare Xie sit as the chief? Xie is used to being alone, General Wei doesn't have to pay attention to it, let's greet all the guests first." ”
Wei Wensheng knew that this "Mr. Xie" was overbearing, so he said a few polite words to him, and said: "Wei is out of company first, the banquet is over, Mr. Xie must stay in Jinzhou for a few more days, so that Wei can fulfill the friendship of the landlord." ”
Monk Daoyan said: "Definitely." He Lu Xiaoyuan came to a remote corner, grabbed a braised anchovie, and said, "Eat." "I bite off the head of the fish and gnaw it until the juice is dripping.
A noble lady next to her saw Monk Daoyan's eating appearance, showed a look of disdain, shook her head and walked away, and changed the table.
Lu Xiaoyuan said in a low voice: "Don't be like a starving ghost, people will know that you are fake at a glance." He took the cherry strips from the bowl with chopsticks and ate them.
Suddenly, the noise in the hall was much quieter, Lu Xiaoyuan put the last cow strip in his mouth, and saw everyone looking at the door of the hall in unison, his eyes turned to Wei Wensheng to greet a woman inside.
