Chapter 69: The Family Banquet

After Shi Le came to Drifting Snow City, he decided to open a warehouse to release grain during the festive season and celebrate with the people. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It's the coldest winter solstice of the year. Shile ordered the troops of Drifting Snow City to sweep the snow from the streets, and set up a dozen large iron pots in front of the city lord's mansion, all of which were boiled with mutton soup. Anyone in Drifting Snow City can drink hot mutton soup without spending a penny.

For a while, the front of the city lord's mansion was bustling. The enthusiasm of the inhabitants even dispelled the cold winter, and the whole of Drifting Snow City was immersed in the festive atmosphere.

And the Drifting Snow City City Lord's Mansion was relatively deserted. The reason given by Schle is that the mourning period is just after it is not appropriate to celebrate it aggressively. He also cut all the living expenses in the city lord's mansion, including the rouge and gouache money of the ladies and relatives by half.

The West Garden of the City Lord's Mansion arranged a small family banquet. This was a special banquet for Murray. Shi Le went with Xingkong to participate. There were also two guests at the banquet, Mu Yingying and Qianying.

The room was full of people Schler thought he was closest to! He was in a good mood and drank a few more glasses.

During the banquet, Shi Yingxuan clamored to play with Shile's white crane. It turned out that Shi Yingxuan had long been in love with the white crane. And Hakutsuru has a good relationship with her. It can be said that in the entire Drifting Snow City, in addition to recognizing Shi Le as the owner, the white crane only let Shi Yingxuan touch it.

Shi Le loves the innocent Shi Yingxuan very much. He asked the maid to take Shi Yingxuan to find the white crane, while he continued to stay at the family banquet.

Murray is the kind of woman who is full of charm. At first glance, she doesn't seem special, but the more you look at it, the more charming she is. Her temperament is as vast as the ocean.

Xingkong only cares about Mu Yingying's eyebrows. The two are like a pair of happy enemies, and they do not shy away from their feelings in front of everyone.

Qianying is still so amorous. Seeing that everyone was only interested in eating and drinking and not discussing business, she asked Shi Le in a low voice, "What is the city lord's next step?"

Since the topic opened, everyone focused their eyes on Shi Le.

Shile stood up, threw his head up, drank a glass of soju, and turned his back to the group. He missed the past with a lot of emotion, and tears burst out in an instant, because he didn't want everyone to see it, so he quickly turned around.

"Uh!" he said after taking a deep breath to calm his feelings, "Actually, I may not be dying!"

"What?" everyone was dumbfounded.

"Smack-" Qianying dropped the wine glass on the ground.

"Are you kidding?" said with a grin.

"He's serious, tell me why, son, don't hide all your pain in a person's heart. Mu Lei looked at Shile and said affectionately.

The sound of the child made Shi Le choke up instantly, and he was a little emotional. He's only sixteen or seventeen years old, but he's got too much to do.

"Thank you, Mother!" Shile bowed respectfully to Murray. For the first time, he called Murray his mother instead of his young mother, which shows that he identified with Murray from the bottom of his heart.

Murray was actually only twenty-four or five years old. She married the old lord at the age of sixteen. Now that she is widowed at a young age, few people know the sourness in her heart.

Murray's feelings are all pinned on her children. Therefore, her care for Shile is from the bottom of her heart, without the slightest utilitarian heart.

"What the hell is going on!" Mu Yingying's psychological endurance was probably the lowest among the few people present, she shouted and asked.

Shile sighed: "This matter is a long story!"

Everyone held their breath and listened to Shile tell him about his past.

Of course, Schler knows how to cut down his own stories, including some secrets that are not suitable for being said, and he will not confide in them freely. But he told about his emotional entanglement with Murong Yan, his grudge with the Wushan faction, and the hidden dangers of practicing the Wind Resisting Sword Duel.

When everyone heard that he and Murong Yan were deeply in love with each other but had to separate, and one of them was terminally ill, and the other would be eaten up by the cultivation of the exercises in a short time, the whole audience was deserted. Only the sound of falling snow could be heard clearly.

"Woo woo - why do you tell such a sad story for people to hear? The mood of the people was originally very good!" Mu Yingying cried.

"This is not a story!" Schler said.

"Woo woo woo-" Mu Yingying cried even harder, "Why is this not just a story." How could such a sad thing really happen. I'm so sad to hear it, how can you carry it on your back? You're always smiling at us without us knowing!"

Shi Le said with emotion: "Seven or eight times out of ten things that are unsatisfactory in life. I used to be a slave on a pirate ship for a while. At that time, all the past was gone, and it had nothing to do with me. The feeling of wanting to know what kind of person I really am has puzzled me for a long time. It wasn't until later that a girl I met by chance helped me immensely. It was she who made me no longer confused and wandering. She taught me to be brave and pursue the good things in the world. But like a fairy descending to earth, she left forever after a flash in the pan. I was left with a deep memory for her. ”

Xingkong pointed at Shi Le and said, "Mortals are really full of feelings!" Mu Yingying hurriedly twisted Xingkong's ears to prevent him from continuing to speak.

Murray was also curious about how Shiler had spent all these years. But she is not Shile's biological mother after all, and there are some things that Shile doesn't say and she can't ask. Who knew that Shiler was in tears when he talked about the past, which made Murray determined never to ask Shiler what he had experienced in the future.

Shile took a deep breath and continued, "Later I made finding that girl my ultimate goal. In the process, I got to know Murong Yan and Feng Piaofu. They are all friends that I cherish very much. I am willing to pay more for them! Now that Feng Piaoxu and Murong Yan are in danger, I must have the courage to take it and go deep into the wilderness to find the sword mound. ”

"I've heard you say so much, but how do I feel that the Sword Shrine is just a legend, as if it will never be found!" said Murray, looking at Shile.

Schle said: "It is up to man to do things, and it is up to heaven to do things!" We used to row desperately when there was a storm at sea. It's not that we think the road ahead is necessarily better, it's just that everyone is not willing to sit idly by!"

"If you don't find the Sword Shrine?" asked Murray, worried.

"I promise that no matter whether I succeed or not, I will return to Yunzhou City to meet Murong Yan on the eighth day of April next year. If I don't come back before then, there's only one possibility. Forget about me in the future!" said Shile.

"Child!" Mu Lei couldn't help but hug Shi Le in her warm arms and said, "Promise me not to do stupid things, Drifting Snow City needs you!"

"I also fell in love with this land, this city," he said. But my fate is farther away! If I'm gone, let Yingxuan be the lord of the city! She's a good-hearted child, and I believe she can lead Drifting Snow City farther. ”

"She's just a child, how can she do this?" Murray said.

Shi Le looked at Xingkong and said, "I believe that she has her own noble people to help!"

Xingkong clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha! If it really comes to that point, the poor monk will definitely do his best to assist Yingxuan." ”

Shi Le suddenly smiled and said, "You don't underestimate this monk, do you?

Everyone giggled, and everyone present knew that Xingkong was indeed extraordinary.

At this time, a guard announced that a distinguished guest had visited.
