~
"Huh?" When Wang Xinba heard Bai Xiong and them coming, they immediately rebounded and wanted to stand up. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The frontier walker was secretly surprised, knowing that Bai Xiong would come sooner or later, but he didn't expect Bai Xiong to come so quickly, and he was invited to enter the main gate with such a bold and bold attitude, which really surprised him.
Mi Zi was also very excited, and finally waited for the eldest brother.
Zhang Yu has never looked forward to the arrival of her eldest brother as much as she did today, she wants to meet those kind brothers and sisters too much.
Lu Baopin's face also showed a little curious and expectant, the Eighteen Master Mountain Villa is now a small hot spot on the rivers and lakes, and even the capital has a small rumor.
"How many people?" Zhou Shengjing asked his soldiers in public.
"Three people, two men and one woman. The soldier replied loudly.
"To see or not to see?" Zhou Shengjing turned his head sideways, and naturally wanted to ask the guest Zhao Siyi's opinion.
"The guest is as he pleases. Naturally, it is up to the governor of Zhou to decide. Although Zhao Siyi was also quite surprised that Bai Xiong dared to break into the Tranquility Mansion, his face was very calm.
"Since he came, he is now well-known in the rivers and lakes, and the owner of the villa who took the Shangguan girl away, naturally needs to be seen. Zhou Shengjing pondered for a while, and saw that Lu Baopin seemed to be looking at the door frequently and wanting to see him, so he agreed, but then added, "However, let's let them wait at the door for a while, and reply that they are setting up a banquet, and they will be invited in a while." ”
"Arrange the meals for the dinner seriously and ceremoniously, and if there are distinguished guests, some of the meals will be adjusted to be more in line with the tastes of the guests. Zhou Shengjing punned on the pro-soldier and said.
The soldier replied, "Okay, the menu will be readjusted, don't worry, my lord." ”
Everyone whispered to each other, all waiting for the preparation of the dinner with different thoughts.
Zhou Shengjing heard that the dinner was almost ready, so he explained to his soldiers and welcomed Bai Xiong in and changed to the dinner hall.
The dinner hall is quite large, and the dining tables and chairs are all precious solid wood, which is full of elegance and literary sense.
When everyone was praising the merits of the dinner hall, Brother Bai Xiong took Ma Yi on the left and Tian Luo on the right to step into the house.
Bai Xiong just has the temperament of a big person, after entering, he didn't have any nervousness at all, and he didn't make any casual remarks about being cold and snub just now, and he stood quietly in front of the court, not far away, wearing an ordinary robe, but he still couldn't hide the unusual bearing inside.
With many setbacks and difficulties solved in the rivers and lakes, there is a convincing feeling of leadership between the eyebrows.
Ma Yi is majestic and mighty, and Tian Luo is as cold as frost, accompanying one left and one right.
The three of them seemed to bring in a flow of air that made people breathe a little badly, which made many people with weak aura a little cramped and uneasy.
When Yu Zi saw Bai Xiong, she was also very excited, and the corners of her lips rose and fell slightly.
Zhang Yu's eyes were full of tears, if it weren't for Lu Wangjiang and Lu Baopin's side, she would definitely rush over and ask for a big hug from a few of them.
When Bai Xiong saw Zhang Yu, he nodded to her as if relieved, and that strong belief suddenly reassured Zhang Yu.
Then, Bai Xiong turned his gaze to Yu Zi, because after the disguise, Yu Zi only appeared in front of him for a while that night, and he didn't remember it well, so he also carefully identified her until he confirmed her.
Everyone saw it strangely, and moved their attention to this ordinary-looking female guest in the lower seat, but they couldn't see why, so they withdrew their eyes and looked at the white owner.
"Master Bai Zhuang, famous far and wide, I have also admired it for a long time. I heard rumors in the rivers and lakes that your martial arts could withstand the strong attack of the martial champion Zhao Governor's Mansion, which is really curious. Zhou Shengjing greeted him and boasted.
"My martial arts are mediocre, and I am not worth mentioning from the Governor of Zhou. Zhao Siyi frowned.
"Governor Zhou's mansion is famous, but I am a reckless person in the rivers and lakes, and I have the honor to learn from Lord Zhao, which is not descript, and the distinction between high and low is not worth worrying about. Bai Xiong replied.
"I don't know what the owner of Bai Zhuang is here for, but no matter what, it is rare to meet on the rivers and lakes of Daqian, can you please sit down and have a banquet first, and then discuss?" Zhou Shengjing blocked the words in front of him first.
"Since Governor Zhou is full of intentions, if you want to refuse, it is disrespectful. Bai Xiong agreed.
"It's atmospheric enough. Master Bai, please be seated. Zhou Shengjing invited the three of them to sit down.
This is a big table that can seat more than 20 people, so Bai Xiong and the three of them all sat down at the table. But since the others had already sat down, and Zhou Shengjing didn't stand up to invite them to the upper seat, it obviously meant that they were arranged at the bottom.
Zhang Yu was sandwiched left and right by Lu Wangjiang and Zhao Siyi, and Mi Zi was sandwiched by border walkers and Shui Wuxian.
Zhou Shengjing glanced at Bai Xiong, then at Zhao Siyi, smiled slightly, and said: "This is a big table, it's far away, let's not pay attention to so much etiquette when we drink, and we don't need to stand up for a toast, okay?"
"Governor Zhou is thoughtful. Governor Zhao nodded in agreement.
"Then don't stand, don't move your position. Bai Xiong said with a smile, thinking in his heart that the prefect was also a small official this week, and hinted in every possible way that the two sides should not make trouble at the dinner.
In fact, Zhao Siyi and himself would directly use the knife at the dinner, and if they want to fight, they will make an appointment before starting.
Everyone began to eat according to the requirements of the Zhou Governor's Mansion.
Fortunately, there are many times when eating in the officialdom is this embarrassing situation, many people have experience in dealing with this aspect, plus Lu Baopin just returned from seeing in the capital, so he talked about the innocuous and trivial anecdotes of "Luoyang paper is expensive" and "the road is congested and difficult to walk" in the capital, which also covered up a lot of embarrassment of the people at the table.
Governor Zhou pretended not to know everything, and frequently raised his glass to invite Bai Xiong and Zhao Siyi to drink and toast, pretending to be kind.
Bai Xiong and Zhao Siyi didn't drink badly, but they didn't shirk too much, they drank a lot of wine before the meal was moved, this was the first time they drank at the table, and they secretly paid attention to each other.
Obviously, they didn't want to get drunk completely, so after persuading Zhou Shengjing to get drunk, they didn't drink much.
"Because I've come to pick up my comrades. All hopes come true. Bai Xiong said.
"Oh, you're talking about Miss Zhang Yu under Governor Zhao's mansion, you don't need to ask me. Zhou Shengjing pretended to be nothing.
"And this one. Bai Xiong pointed to the purple color.
"Who is she?" Zhou Shengjing was a little puzzled.
"She's the purple girl of my villa. Bai Xiong said.
The crowd was in an uproar. The first beauty in the rivers and lakes is like this? She still stays in this house?
The white owner joked. ”
"She's been disguised, and this face isn't hers. ”
"Is this true?" Zhou Shengjing asked the frontier walker.
The Frontier Walker did not reply.
"It's just my guests, and they're not people who can be determined by this mansion, so let's discuss it by ourselves after dinner. Zhou Shengjing glanced at the water without injury.
Zhou Shengjing knew that this was true, but it was a pity that he knew it too late. When the drinking was nearing the end, he puffed up in his mouth and vomited. Zhou Shengjing knew by looking at his face and eyes that he was already very drunk, and he was helped by his own soldiers to change his clothes while talking nonsense.
As soon as he entered the thatched house, Zhou Shengjing looked behind, and immediately went to the thatched house and hurriedly stretched out his fingers to his mouth, slashed the wine into his tongue, spit out the wine in his stomach, and then washed his face with a large amount of cold water to keep himself awake as much as possible.
The soldiers looked at the prefect who was vomiting and asked, "My lord, how do you feel?"
Zhou Shengjing felt a splitting headache from drinking, and said forcefully: "I'm okay, they are quite able to drink, but none of them fell down." How's your preparation?"
The soldier replied, "It's all ready." Just waiting for your orders. ”
Zhou Shengjing said: "We must let them fight, so we can start." When the fight really starts, wake me up. Go, tell them that I've drunk too much, and that I'm here to rest and relax. After saying that, he found a rock to rest, and indeed drank the world in a whirlwind, and fainted drunken with half-truths.
The soldiers called people to take care of the Zhou Governor's Mansion together, and then went to observe the development of the banquet.
Zhao Siyi said: "If you want to take away Yi Zi from the Tranquility Mansion, I don't have the ability to interject for the time being, and if you want to take Zhang Yu from here, you have to ask me." ”
Bai Xiong stood up and said with a smile: "Lord Zhao, my comrades come and go, do I need to ask you, I just need to ask Zhang Yu." ”
