The Yellow Crane Tower is the most well-known restaurant in Yunzhou. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the Juyi Hall on the upper floor of the restaurant is decorated with painted red curtains and golden splendor.

At this moment, Murong Yan was presiding over a banquet to entertain Ning Lu, the prince of Liangzhou, accompanied by more than a dozen talented people of the younger generation in Yunzhou. As soon as the banquet began, Ning Lu ordered his guards to cordon off the surroundings of the Yellow Crane Tower, prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving. Murong Yan asked Ning Lu for disaster relief food, so she didn't argue with him.

In the Juyi Hall, the envoys of Ning Lu and Liangzhou and the eight warrior monks of Hongluo Temple sat on the right side, and on the left was the representative of Yunzhou headed by Murong Ji's righteous son, Murong Ke. Sitting on Murong Ke's side were Murong Yan's cousin Zhao Guming, cousin Murong Feng, and several children of the family.

Originally, it was agreed that the Imperial Wind Kendo Hall would also send Feng Piao Fu to participate in the banquet, but it was not possible because Feng Piao Fu was unwell.

At the beginning of the banquet, Murong Ke greeted Ning Lu very warmly, and toasted again and again to show the host's warm hospitality. But Ning Lu, the prince of Liangzhou, always kept a straight face, making it impossible to figure out what he was thinking!

After the three rounds of wine and the five flavors of the dishes were basically finished, Ning Lu directly brought the conversation to the main topic. He raised his glass to Murong Yan and said, "I have brought two good news to the county lord in Yunzhou this time!

Murong Yan asked with a smile, "I don't know what good news the prince brought?"

Ning Lu got up and said, "First, my Liangzhou grain transport team has arrived at the border of Yunzhou, and it will be able to send grain worth 100,000 taels of gold to Yunzhou City in a few days after I give an order. ”

As soon as Murong Yan heard this, "This is indeed good news!"

Ning Lu continued, "But I haven't received a penny yet. I wonder when the county lord is going to pay me 100,000 taels of gold?"

Murong Yan's face turned red and said, "I'm sorry! Your Royal Highness, I may not have so much money to pay you for the time being!"

Ning Lu's face changed, and the air in the righteous hall seemed to condense, and the silent needle could be heard falling on the ground. Suddenly, Ning Lu said "Haha!" and said with laughter: "Just kidding! Why should you worry about a mere 100,000 taels of gold compared to the county lord! Ning Lu is not talented, and is willing to give all the grain worth 100,000 taels of gold to the county lord, just to make the beautiful woman smile!"

There was an uproar in the Juyi Hall, and the talents of Yunzhou represented by Murong Ke touted Ning Lu as young and promising.

Ning Lu continued: "Everyone must have heard of the purpose of my visit to Yunzhou this time. Yes, I did come to discuss the marriage between the two states with the king of Yunzhou. Moreover, the king of Yunzhou had already told me privately that as long as I could impress any of his daughters, I would take his daughter! No one in the world knows that I have admired the county lord Murong Yan for a long time, and made an oath a year ago that the county lord would not marry if it was not for the county lord Murong Yan! A little sincerity, talk about the heart and smile at the county lord. From now on, our family will not talk to each other, and we will never need to mention any money again!

Murong Yan frowned, not knowing how to respond. Murong Ke also bowed his head and remained silent. This is obviously a forced marriage! The dignified county lord of Yunzhou was forced to marry in front of the talented people of Yunzhou by the prince of Liangzhou in Yunzhou City, which made the talented people of Yunzhou very annoyed! Murong Yan's cousin Zhao Guming Huo Ran got up and said to Ning Lu: "His Royal Highness the prince is so aggressive, I really dare not wait to compliment!"

"Oh!" Ning Lu looked at Zhao Guming and asked, "Who are you!"

"In Xia Zhao Guming, the son of Zhao Tianyuan, the commander of the East China Sea Division of Yunzhou. Zhao Guming said.

Ning Luyi stretched out his hand to Zhao Guming and said, "Bring it!"

"What?" Zhao Guming asked.

"Hehe!" Ning Lu smiled and said, "One hundred thousand taels of gold!"

"I-" Zhao Guming lost his temper. Not to mention him, even his father can't get that much gold. If the family went bankrupt, the Zhao family might have scraped together more than 100,000 taels of gold, but in order to buy food for the victims, they didn't want to give a single piece of silver.

Ning Lu walked to the center of the Gathering Hall and said to Zhao Guming: "Why don't we have a discussion, if you can get lucky and don't lose a few tricks in me, I won't hear what you just said!"

"What if I lose?" asked Zhao Guming.

"Hmph!" Ning Lu sneered, "I want money but no money, I don't have the ability to do anything, and I am not as good as me in terms of identity and status." I really don't know where you got the confidence to speak out in front of me, self-righteous! Don't think that I can't do anything about you in Yunzhou, tell you that even the king of Yunzhou has to give me three points, you are a fart!"

Zhao Guming's face was blue and white for a while, but he couldn't refute Ning Lu's words!

At this time, a warrior behind Zhao Guming came to the front of the hall and said to Ning Lu: "The lord is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the lord is humiliated by the ministers to death! Today, the young master of my family was so wantonly insulted by you, I decided to stand up and teach you a lesson for your unreasonable behavior!"

Ning Lu looked at it, and scolded angrily regardless of his identity. He walked back to his desk and sat down, and said to one of the eagle-wolf guards behind him: "The Lord is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the Lord is humiliated by the death!

The eagle wolf guard walked to the front of the hall with his sword in his hand, bowed to Hu Zhiyi, and then suddenly attacked without saying a word.

"This is a battle of life and death, and we want to see blood!" said Ning Lu!

Sure enough, in less than three moves, Hu Zhi was cut off by Eagle Wolf Wei and died! Zhao Guming stepped forward to wrap Hu Zhi's corpse, stretched out his hand and closed his eyes for him who was not blind. He didn't speak again, picked up Hu Zhi's body and left the Yellow Crane Tower. The Eagle Wolf Guard Commander didn't let anyone stop him.

After that, Ning Lu had to challenge the Yunzhou masters present, and Murong Ke and more than a dozen people did not respond to the battle. Ning Lu also proposed that each family elect a representative from among the disciples to participate in the competition, but as a result, a warrior sent by Murong Feng was killed by the Eagle Wolf Guard as soon as he entered the field. After that, the rest of the families directly announced that they conceded defeat without a match.

Ning Lu looked up at Murong Yan and asked, "Does the county lord think my performance today is okay?"

Murong Yan was extremely angry, "Ahem!" Coughing constantly! At this time, a maid came to Murong Yan with a bowl of bird's nest porridge and said, "The lord of the Yellow Crane Tower said that their young master is a famous chef in the world, and today he specially offers you a bowl of bird's nest and fish porridge!"

Murong Yan took the bird's nest porridge, tasted it gently, and smiled knowingly. She asked the maid, "You go and ask the lord of the Yellow Crane Tower, where their young master is now, and what is the matter with me?"

The maid said, "Their young master has long guessed that you will want to see him, and he is now waiting outside the door for your summons!"

"Let him in!" Murong Yan said.

She completely left Ning Lu aside and ignored it, because she really didn't know how to deal with the situation in front of her. She wanted food for the victims, but she couldn't afford to buy food with gold. She did not want to agree to marry Ning Lu, nor did she want Ning Lu to refuse to provide her with food because of her refusal. At this time, Shi Le sent a bowl of bird's nest and fish porridge, and it was really the right time for Murong Yan to come.
