Chapter 53: The Storm
Zixiang Pavilion is located in the west of the capital city and is a three-storey restaurant. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info appearance is simple and atmospheric, the interior decoration is more brilliant, it can be said that the decoration level that can be reflected in this era of this world is perfectly reflected in the purple fragrance pavilion. The people who come to Zixiang Pavilion for dinner and entertain guests are either dignitaries or wealthy businessmen with a lot of money. Not to mention civilians, even middle- and lower-level officials with slightly lower status rarely come to Zixiang Pavilion to squander once. Therefore, the Purple Fragrance Pavilion is a place where dignitaries gather in the capital. And those who can become the guests of Zixiang Pavilion are all people who are either rich or noble.
Yuan Ding is one of the VIPs of the Purple Fragrance Pavilion, not that he has a high official position, but that he has a good family background. The Yuan family of the fourth and third princes will of course become the guests of honor in the Purple Fragrance Pavilion.
Warmly greeting Yuan Qi and Ugong Teruje, Yuan Ding invited the two into the Purple Fragrance Pavilion and led the two to a private room near the window on the second floor. While walking, Yuan Ding said: "This Purple Fragrance Pavilion is a place where dignitaries and dignitaries gather in the capital. Come, please come in, this private room is called Phoenix Wing, and it is one of the rooms that our Yuan family has been chartered for a long time. β
"Could it be that the Yuan family has another private room?" asked Yuan Qi in surprise. Being able to charter a private room in such a hotel for a long time shows the strength of the Yuan family, but Yuan Qi did not expect that the Yuan family still has spare strength, and this room is not the only room that the Yuan family has in Zixiang Pavilion.
Yuan Ding said with a hint of pride on his face, and said with a smile: "Yuan Huwei is right, our Yuan family has a total of three private rooms in the Zixiang Pavilion, namely Feng Ling on the top floor, and Phoenix Wing and Feng Yu on the second floor. β
Yuan Qi and Ugong Zhaolie both understood, glanced at each other, and couldn't help but secretly admire the strength and financial resources of the Yuan family. After entering the room, Yuan Qi saw Yuan Bai sitting in the banquet, in addition to him, there were several young people in their twenties, but he didn't know any of them.
After everyone sat down, Yuan Ding began to introduce: "Everyone, this is General Huwei and General Houyuan of the Northern Earthquake, and the other one must be known to everyone, Captain Yugong Zhaolie. The young men bowed one after another, and one of them was a young man under the age of 20 who said with a smile: "I have heard the name of Yuan Huwei for a long time, and I can see it today, and I am fortunate to have three lives!"
Yuan Qi hurriedly returned the salute. Yuan Ding pointed to the person who spoke just now and introduced: "This is Zhang Derong, who is temporarily serving as filial piety. After a pause, Yuan Ding introduced them one by one: "This is Chen Qun Chen Changwen, the son of Chen Shizhong; β
After Yuan Ding introduced the three of them, he pointed to Yuan Bai who was sitting next to him, and said with a smile: "My brother Yuan Bai, everyone must have known each other for a long time. Today's banquet, I have no other intentions, I just hope that you will come and return happy. β
Unomiya Terulie raised his glass and toasted to everyone present, and secretly touched Yuan Qi lightly with his toes, meaning that Yuan Qi also raised his glass to toast. Yuan Qi glanced at Yuan Bai, who was expressionless, and pouted secretly, he didn't want to raise a glass, but in the way of Yuan Ding and the others' face, he hesitated for a moment and raised his glass with a smile.
Seeing Yuan Qi raise his glass, Ugong Terulie also nodded slightly in his heart, admiring Yuan Qi's broad-mindedness in his heart, he couldn't help but pay more attention to it, or rather, he was jealous, a person like Yuan Qi, if he became a friend, it would be a very happy thing, but once he became an enemy, it would also be a headache.
Unomiya Terulie and Yuan Qi raised their glasses to toast one after another, and everyone present raised their glasses to celebrate, but there was only one person who did not move with a straight face. Yuan Ding touched Yuan Bai's arm quietly, and said in a low voice, "Yuan Bai, raise your glass." Yuan Bai heard Yuan Ding's hint, and his heart was even more dissatisfied: Hmph, you are a family concubine, but you were born a few days earlier than me, why do you point fingers at me?
Yuan Bai not only did not raise his wine glass, but snorted coldly: "Is the eldest brother pulling me here today just to drink with these people who sell their fame and reputation?
"Wait!" Without waiting for others to speak, Yuan Qi first called out to Yuan Bai: "Dare to ask Brother Yuan Bai, what is a person who sells fame and reputation? I waited to fight on the battlefield and defend the country, I don't know how much blood was shed and how much sweat was spilled, how did it end up in your mouth, it was so unbearable?"
Hearing Yuan Qi's questioning, the Yuan family brothers sank their faces at the same time, Yuan Bai was angry because of Yuan Qi's questioning, and Yuan Ding was angry because of Yuan Bai's rudeness. Yuan Ding hurriedly stopped Yuan Bai: "Yuan Bai, how can you be so rude to Yuan Huwei!"
Yuan Bai snorted coldly again: "Rude? Hmph, who is rude to whom? Yesterday, a certain kindly went to give him a congratulatory gift, but how did he treat so-and-so? I figured it out today, knowing that so-and-so was not easy to provoke, and came to curry favor with so-and-so, hum, so-and-so doesn't eat this!" Yuan Bai's words shook all the people present. People are dignified and guarded, loyal and righteous, please you? Yesterday Yuan Bai went to Jinfu to send congratulatory gifts to Yuan Qi, but he was forced by Yuan Huai to go, Yuan Huai held his own identity, and because he was disgraced by Yuan Qi above the court, he was not good to send congratulatory gifts to Yuan Qi, so he asked his son Yuan Bai to go on his behalf, who thought that Yuan Bai was spoiled by Yuan Huaijiao, and there was no room for people who were more capable than himself in his eyes, and he inherited Yuan Huai's narrow-minded virtue, which was very unpleasant to see Yuan Qi, and saw that Yuan Qi did not hurry up to greet himself, but went to greet Ugong Zhaolie after a eunuch, so that his heart was nameless, so he mocked Yuan Qi and Ugong Zhaolie a few wordsγ
Everyone present looked at Yuan Bai with strange eyes, which is the kind that only extremely imbecile people can feel. Yuan Ding was embarrassed, he didn't expect his kindness, he originally wanted Yuan Bai and Yuan Qi Yugong Zhaolie to reconcile, but now it has made it worse.
Sinking his face, Yuan Ding angrily reprimanded: "Yuan Bai, you are too rude, don't you quickly apologize to Yuan Huwei!" Yuan Bai glanced at Yuan Ding coldly, and a sentence popped out from between his teeth: "Yuan Ding! Who do you think you are? You are just a concubine, if you are not a few years older than a certain year, how can you speak here today?" I don't know what to say!"
After speaking, Yuan Bai didn't bother to care about Yuan Ding's reaction, and directly flicked his sleeves and walked out of the room.
It seems that the rumors are true, although the Yuan family is the fourth generation and the third prince, the relationship between the children is not harmonious, and more than half of them are wine bags and rice bags.
After a while, Yuan Ding's face softened, and he said: "This, Yuan Bai has been spoiled in the family, and I hope you will forgive me." Well, let's leave it alone, come on, come on, drink, eat!"
After Yuan Ding's self-exculpation, the rest of the people were no longer entangled, and raised their glasses to toast each other. This meal has been eaten for nearly an hour, and just when Yuan Qi was overwhelmed by alcohol, an angry shout sounded downstairs: "Bold thief! Dare to flirt with a woman from a good family in broad daylight!"
Yuan Qi heard this, and with his years of experience in practicing martial arts in his previous life and this life, he judged that the person who shouted was full of energy, obviously his martial arts were not weak, and he might even have a secret method of refining his body. This made Yuan Qi very curious, looking at the current world, in addition to his own method of refining the body, only a few people who were close to him, such as Qi Tian, Zhang Chong, Zhao Hu, Zuo Ci, Xiahou Ruo, etc., learned the method of refining the body from himself, but listening to the voice just now, it seemed very unfamiliar, obviously it would not be the above people, so who else would know the method of refining the body? Is it understood by mistake, or is there another teacher? Or, is it that I feel wrong?
With curiosity, Yuan Qi walked to the window and looked down, but it didn't matter what he saw, and immediately Yuan Qi, who was angry, shouted loudly, directly kicked the window lattice of the room, and jumped from the second floor to the hall on the first floor.
The reason? Because Yuan Qi saw Jinyi in front of the window! Jinyi, under the protection of the three elites of the Tiangui Camp, was confronting a gorgeously dressed child of a family, and there were more than 20 thugs standing behind the child of the family, which seemed to be unfavorable to Jinyi. Next to an elite of the Tiangui Camp, there was also a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, and behind this boy there was a middle-aged man of twenty-three or fourteen years old and a slightly younger boy.
Yuan Qi strode up to Jinyi's side, with a hint of anger in his tone: "But someone is rude to you?" Jinyi shook his head slightly, but the two pearl-like tears slipped down silently.
The three elites of the Heavenly Return Camp knelt on the ground at the same time: "Lord Yu, it is not good for us to protect the master mother, it is a capital crime!" Yuan Qi suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a kind tone as much as possible: "Get up and tell me what is going on." An elite of the Tiangui Camp stood up, walked to Yuan Qi's side, and said in a low voice: "Today, the master mother received a report in the house, saying that the lord was drunk in the Zixiang Pavilion, and the master mother couldn't rest assured, so she led me to pick up the lord back to the house, who knew that he met the bastard on the other side, and teased the master mother, and before I waited for the theory, the son stood up and fought up." As he spoke, he wanted to point to the burly young man in front of Jinyi.
Yuan Qi nodded, and then asked, "Why didn't Zhao Hu follow?" The elite replied: "Coincidentally, General Zhao received a letter saying that an old man was waiting in the pavilion ten miles outside the capital, and not long after the lord left the mansion, General Zhao also left the mansion. β
Hmmm? How could it be so coincidental? And I have never heard of Zhao Hu's old friends in the capital? If you want to say that Zhao Hu has any conspiracy, Yuan Qi can never believe it, then the only explanation is that everything today is a conspiracy planned by someone.
Anyway, let's solve the problem at hand first. Yuan Qi turned his head and thanked the young man who made a righteous move: "Thank you Gongzi for your help before, I am very grateful." The young man saw that Yuan Qi's bearing was extraordinary, he was stunned for a moment, and then returned the salute with his hand: "It's just a trivial matter, not enough to worry about." β
As soon as he talked about Jinyi, Yuan Qi's face once again showed a look of anger, and he said to the young man: "Childe's help, I will thank you later, and let me solve the beam-jumping clown in front of me first." β
Turning his head to look at the dozens of people opposite, Yuan Qi asked coldly to the leading playboy, "Are you being rude to a certain wife?"
The playboy was startled by Yuan Qi's cold tone, and hurriedly took two steps back, then felt that something was wrong, and took three steps forward again, looking like no one in his eyes, and said proudly: "Boy, do you know who this son is? β
When the more than 20 thugs and servants behind him heard this, they all laughed.
Yuan Qi laughed angrily: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, you dare to be so presumptuous?"
The person who came laughed and said: "At the foot of the Son of Heaven, when today's son is mediocre, this country will be returned to the general sooner or later, tell you, this son is General Fan's money bag, who dares to be rude to this son?"
Hearing his blatant contempt for the day, Yuan Qi and the young man beside him shouted angrily at the same time: "Presumptuous!" and then the two of them rushed towards him at the same time as if they had discussed. The speed of the two of them was so fast that they even left an afterimage in the air. After all, Yuan Qi has the accumulation of past lives and present lives, and his martial arts are higher, so he first pounced in front of Wei Zhen and punched Wei Zhen in the face, this punch was Yuan Qi angrily struck, and the force was extremely great, and he directly knocked Wei Zhen into the air, spurted a mouthful of blood in the air, spit out three big teeth, and then fell headlong into the hands of a group of thugs, and fell to the ground.
The young man who shot with Yuan Qi didn't expect Yuan Qi's speed to be so fast, and couldn't help but glance at Yuan Qi in surprise. Just saw Yuan Qi's gaze also cast over, the two looked at each other and smiled, and then each staggered, like a hungry tiger pounced on the thugs brought by Wei Zhen to kill, the two fists to the flesh, and the thugs who beat cried and shouted for their mothers, grinning their teeth, and fell to the ground in pain one after another, like boiled prawns.
