Chapter 199: Going to the Banquet
When Chen Ao heard this, he thought to himself, first he was regarded as a junior brother by Zhao Ling, and now he wants to be his entourage, and today this loss is not small. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info But after thinking about it, in order to take revenge, what about enduring humiliation and burden? In ancient times, King Goujian of Yue lay down and tasted courage, Han Xin endured the humiliation of his crotch, and now I have Chen Ao to take revenge and be willing to be a subordinate. In this situation, how can it not bring tears to people's eyes?
Feeling this, Chen Ao nodded and said, "What's so difficult about this? Not to mention pretending to be a subordinate, even if you pretend to be a beggar, it's not a big deal!"
Zhao Ling was stunned for a moment, and thought, it turned out that I was too careful, although this person was an official, he didn't have that pedantic energy, and he was willing to be a subordinate, but he didn't expect it.
It turned out that Zhao Ling didn't expect to meet Chen Ao and the others today, so naturally he didn't make plans to come to the banquet with them. Therefore, along the way, Zhao Ling talked and laughed while thinking about a way, wanting to use a method that would not damage Chen Ao's face and allow them to enter the door smoothly. Thinking of the end, there was no good way, so he could only put forward the idea euphemistically, wanting to make it easier for Chen Ao to accept. After all, Chen Ao is still of great use to him!
The corners of Zhao Ling's mouth raised slightly, and a strange feeling surged in his heart. Today, many scheming tricks fell on Chen Ao, and they all seemed to be vacated. Zhao Ling has always thought that he is wise, and at this time, he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, but in a blink of an eye, a sense of arrogance rose, thinking, I want to see what kind of origin this Chen Ao came from and what he has the ability to do!
Zhao Ling walked in front, Chen Ao and Long Qingapple followed behind, honestly, not daring to say a word, acting like a pair of followers.
Walk through this secluded street, turn a corner, and your eyes suddenly open up. A three-storey building stands in front of you, and the flags in front of the building are displayed, and the three big characters of "VIP Building" are written on it. The restaurant covers a wide area and is very majestic. At this time, the lights are brilliant, illuminating the lobby as if it were daylight.
In the open space in front of the building, people came one after another, either on horseback or in a car. After a short time, the chariots and horses squeezed the open space into a flood.
Zhao Ling couldn't help but sneer: "Xiong Guang's straw bag, maybe when you see such a lively scene, you really think that you are already the chief helmsman!"
Chen Ao nodded and said, "Hmph, if he can be the helmsman, I will have his surname!"
Zhao Ling walked to the door first. A tall and thin old man stood at the door to greet the guests, and when he saw a few people, he frowned, and quickly thought about it in his mind, as if he didn't recognize who they were.
The old man smiled and said, "Who is Your Excellency?"
Zhao Ling shook his head, but took a brocade box from his subordinate and said, "Deputy Master Ma is good, his surname is Zhao, and he is a squire on the outskirts of Haixian County. I have always admired the bear palm on weekdays, but I didn't have the opportunity to see the golden face. Today, I heard that the bear's boss was feasting in the VIP building, and I also wanted to join in the fun. A small gift, not a tribute!"
The deputy door master of the horse frowned, stretched out his hand to take the gift box, and said casually: "Today's head entertains all the big people with heads and faces in the rivers and lakes, and you are a little squire, and you also want to join in the fun......
As he spoke, he casually opened the gift box. Suddenly, there was a blue and green color, and every fold on the face of the old man of the deputy sect of Ma emitted a green light. His eyes didn't blink, as if he couldn't close them anymore, he looked at the pair of green jade fish in the brocade box, and said in a trembling voice: "So precious...... The gift of ...... How embarrassing ......"
He said he was embarrassed, but the light in his eyes showed that he would never return the gift.
Zhao Ling struck while the iron was hot and said with a smile: "Deputy Master Ma, I just want to go in and see the majestic appearance of the bear master, and I will never make trouble." Besides, this restaurant is also Xiao Ke's industry, so it's not a big deal if Xiao Ke goes in and sets up an extra table, right?"
Deputy Master Ma was even more surprised, and pointed at Zhao Ling and said, "It turns out ...... It turns out that you are the boss here! The head of the house still specially wants to invite you, but Boss Zhao Shenlong has not seen the end, and this invitation has not been sent! Please, please!"
Zhao Ling entered the gate with a grin. Chen Ao followed behind, but he was a little puzzled, and said, "You are the owner of the VIP building?!Why do you have to go to such great lengths?"
Zhao Ling lowered his voice and said, "I have only taken over this restaurant for a few days. Xiong Guang wanted to invite, but it wasn't me. As soon as this gift is given, they won't suspect me!"
"Huh?" Chen Ao was surprised, "then...... And what about the original boss?"
"The original boss?" Zhao Ling waved his hand, "Who knows." Maybe you go to sea by boat, maybe you hide on some mountain to cultivate immortals!"
Chen Ao was taken aback, although Zhao Ling said it lightly, a trace of uneasiness rose in his heart. Perhaps it was Liang Sizhi who brought him a psychological shadow and made him feel that in this era, in such a world, people like Liang Sizhi and Zhao Ling, who are rich and powerful, may not be good people.
Chen Ao frowned and was silent, thinking in his heart that Zhao Ling first colluded with the Haichao Gang, but he didn't really want to support Chen Liyong as the helmsman. Now I came to participate in the banquet of the Earth Shatter Gate, and I did not hesitate to get the VIP building in my hands, and I also gave such a valuable gift. If Zhao Ling didn't have any intentions, I'm afraid the ghosts wouldn't believe it.
Chen Ao thought about it for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion, that is, Zhao Ling may not be as simple as he appeared. He must have been interested in the Salt Gang as well, and wanted to grab a greater profit. The only thing that surprised Chen Ao was why Zhao Ling took the initiative to befriend him? He was just a humble little magistrate, was it worth such a big man to deliberately win over?
He was puzzled, and at this time Zhao Ling had already sat down in his seat. The lobby is circular, and a circle of tables is placed around it, and each distinguished guest has a separate table, which is quite ancient.
The Chen gang leader of the Shahai Gang happened to be sitting opposite, and when he saw Zhao Ling, he raised his glass in greeting. Zhao Ling also raised a glass in return, but there was no emotion in his eyes. Chen Ao and Long Qingping sat on the small table behind him, unable to see Zhao Ling's expression, but could guess his demeanor.
There is a brazier in the middle of the lobby, and the blazing flame bakes the whole restaurant warmly. The decoration of the hall has also been changed to weapons such as swords, guns, swords, halberds and other weapons because of tonight's banquet, and there is really a style of martial arts heroes.
Chen Ao looked around and found that the guests who should have come had almost arrived, and the lobby was full of people, except for the two seats on the main seat, which were still empty.
Chen Ao thought to himself, Zhao Ling was right, this Xiong Guang had not yet become the chief helmsman, and he had already put on the shelf of the chief helmsman. The guests in this room have already arrived, waiting for him, and his status is invisibly too high.
Suddenly, gongs and drums rang out in unison, and firecrackers were set off outside the building. The deputy door master who welcomed the guests was already standing in the center of the hall and sang loudly: "Please come to the door of the Devil's Door Bear!"
