Return to the Central Plains 25
Cai Wei said angrily, "Where is the less, who doesn't know that you are now Sima Xiangru's lackey!"
Xie Tong smiled bitterly, "What you see is only one-sided, not all, Lao Tzu won Wu Zhiting at the gambling table, although it destroyed his hope, but at least it saved his life and gave their family a hope." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Nightingale was the most rational among the several people, but she also sneered and said, "Xie Tong, aren't you deceiving yourself by talking like this?"
Lao Lai saw that the situation was not good. Xie Tong fell into the verbal attacks of several girls, and hurriedly interjected, "Nightingale, let Brother Xie finish speaking, maybe he has something unspeakable!"
The nightingale glanced at Lao Lai, and without saying anything, the hall became quiet, and several people were waiting for Xie Tong's explanation.
Xie Tong took a sip of tea and said, "I saw Sima Xuan in Sima Xiangru's mansion earlier, and he brought a large number of masters from Chang'an, and you have also seen it. Their martial arts are not bad, and Sima Xuan has been married to the Shen family, and it is even more powerful, if they are not defeated, they have a great possibility to snatch it and wipe out the Wu family. And the sad thing is that they haven't realized the seriousness of the situation yet, if I don't take action to defeat him, the Wu clan may have no way to live in the future!"
This idea, fresh and peculiar, left everyone speechless.
After a while, Shi Jingjiao said, "So serious?"
Xie Tong said, "Maybe it's worse than we imagined, Sima Xuan came from Chang'an this time, the purpose is to completely eradicate the Wu clan and pave the way for Sima Xiangru to sit firmly in Luoyang, this matter can't be both, this result is already very good."
The crowd was silent, and there was no word all night.
At dusk the next day, Sima Xiangruo came to Shi Jingjiao's mansion on time and personally greeted them for the banquet.
Looking at Sima Xiangru's beaming expression, Xie Tong felt an inexplicable sourness in his heart, in this era of the law of the jungle, the victory of any person often represents the failure of a group of people who make a person live, and it is also their sorrow, some people are happy and some are worried.
The god operator smiled and said, "The general came early."
Sima Xiangru smiled and said, "You may not believe it, from the moment you came to Luoyang, Xiangru has always been in a depressed mood, and now in addition to the enemy, sweep away the haze in your heart, not to mention how excited you are, ha, you had a good night's sleep last night, Xiangru has not slept so sweetly for a long time!"
The god operator couldn't help but ask, "Does the disciple of the Wu clan have such great power?"
Xie Tong said expressionlessly, "The hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, and the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, this is the same truth through the ages, but this time it is also smooth, the Wu clan is willing to leave Luoyang according to the agreement, I am afraid that there is no possibility of a comeback in the future, and it is also a wish in the general's heart, congratulations!"
Sima Xiangru was the only one stunned, his expression became elusive, he coughed dryly twice, and said, "It's not early." My father is already waiting in the house."
Everyone got into the car helplessly, thinking that Sima Xuan would participate in this banquet, they suddenly lost interest, and this banquet was also a good banquet.
The carriage soon arrived at the mansion, and the entire general's mansion was dressed up very festively today, the house was brightly lit, the red lanterns were hung high in a row, and the traffic outside the mansion was even more busy.
Xie Tong rode on horseback, leaned in front of Sima Xiangru, and asked, "General, are there any other people attending the banquet today?"
Sima Xiangru smiled mysteriously and said, "Today can be described as a double happiness, not only to celebrate Brother Zhao's victory, but also to celebrate the marriage of the two families."
Xie Tong suddenly had a sense of déjà vu, and only told him that today's marriage celebration was the theme, and the few of them were just foils, which was the same as when he first entered the Shu Palace, thinking of Mo Chuan's hateful face, Xie Tong couldn't wait to turn around and go back immediately, so as not to be insulted.
Sima Xiangru seemed to see through his thoughts, and said with a smile, "Brother Zhao doesn't have to mind, today Xiangru is in charge for you, and no one will make trouble for you."
Xie Tong smiled awkwardly and didn't make a sound.
The dinner was not arranged in the hall, but in the vast backyard of the General's Palace, which was more spacious and had more seats.
When Xie Tong and the others came to the backyard, they were really taken aback, and just looking at the seats, they knew how many people were attending the dinner.
Most of the people had already arrived, Xie Tong looked around, most of them were local dignitaries and nobles, businessmen, most of whom he didn't know, and these people were also gathered in groups of three or five, chatting happily.
Sima Xiang is also prepared this time, and the seats arranged for Xie Tong and others are also carefully considered, their seats are located under Sima Xiangru, the third and fourth seats on the right hand, the third is the god operator Shi Jingjiao, and the fourth is Zhao Wuyang.
A few people walked straight into the table.
Xie Tong is still quite satisfied with this arrangement, at least in Sima Xiangru's heart, he still has a certain status.
After Hong Shan entered the table, he pouted and said, "Sima Xuan, what is this doing, a celebration banquet is actually in one place with a marriage banquet, it is clear that he doesn't put us in his eyes!"
Xie Tong stroked her jade back and said with a smile: "Shan'er, don't be angry, you must know that our current status is not the same as in Chang'an, and we are not here, let him toss as he wants! If Shan'er is unhappy, Lao Tzu will be happy with you at night!"
Hong Shanqiao's face turned red, spit on it, and said, "You don't look serious, Shan'er doesn't want you to accompany you!"
While he was talking, there was a sudden commotion in the entire square, and it turned out that Sima Xuan had arrived.
I saw Sima Xuan and Shen Lao coming together, walking side by side, and slowly walking from the other end of the square.
Everyone stopped talking to each other, but stood up in unison and said in a loud voice, "Lord Taiwei." ”
Sima Xuan smiled and waved his hand, motioning for everyone to sit down.
Xie Tong looked straight behind the two of them, and saw a graceful young girl bowing her head and following behind Shen Lao, this woman had a delicate figure, a handsome face, and her whole body was wrapped in a white long skirt, which looked very dazzling in the night, as if a fairy descended to earth.
However, Xie Tong saw it sincerely, there was a hint of sadness in her face, and her lowered head explained all this.
Cai Wei snorted coldly, "When I see a beautiful woman, my eyes are in a daze, I really don't know what your head is filled with?"
Hong Shan also chimed in, "Isn't it?"
Xie Tong smiled helplessly, "You all misunderstood Lao Tzu, as expected, this girl should be Miss Shen Family, the one who is the childhood sweetheart of Wu Zhiting?"
"Ah!" Hong Shan and Cai Wei exclaimed in unison, it turned out that this girl was Master Shen's daughter and Sima Xiangru's fiancée.
Hong Shan said angrily, "It's really a flower inserted into cow dung, and it's cheaper for Sima Xiangru, this kid."
Everyone sat down, and Miss Shen happened to sit opposite Xie Tong and the others.
Hong Shan stared at her intently, and said complainingly, "Brother Tong, you have to think of a way, you are so lovely, how can you not marry Sima Xiangru that beast!"
Xie Tong is one head and two big, he is walking on thin ice at the moment, how can he have the ability to help others.
The dinner officially began, Sima Xuan served around for a week, and said with a hearty smile: "Everyone, today is the great day of my Sima family, the dog Sima Xiangru has been carefully prepared, completely expelled the maggots that have plagued Luoyang for hundreds of years, and returned a quiet and peaceful home to the people of Luoyang." ”
He paused and continued, "I invited everyone here today, and there is great good news, the dog is like a daughter who has fallen in love with Master Shen at first sight, and this dinner will also be used as an engagement banquet for both parties. Let's have a toast. ”
After that, he looked at Shen Lao with a smile and said with a smile, "Master Shen, please!"
Everyone raised their glasses and said loudly, "Congratulations to Lord Taiwei, congratulations to Master Shen, congratulations to the general."
This cheer in unison, but it was very awkward to listen to Xie Tong's ears, behind the prosperity, it represented the sadness and blood and tears of many people, Xie Tong thought of the lonely Wu family, and Wu Zhiting's sad eyes.
Master Shen smiled and said, "General Xiangru is the pillar of the country, pacifying the rebels in Jiangnan and rectifying the bandits in Luoyang, it is really indispensable, it is the first person in my Tang Empire in a hundred years, this time the little girl can marry General Xiangru, it is really a blessing for three lives, the old man respects the general!"
The two of them raised their glasses and drank each other.
Cai Wei said angrily, "This old man Shen is really shameless, he dares to say anything big!"
Hong Shan echoed, "Sima Xiangru is even more shameless, and he actually sticks any good thing on his face."
Sima Xiangru didn't know if he was too excited, after drinking this cup, he left the table, Shi Shiran walked to Miss Shen's seat, and said with a smile, "I wish you and I can live as much joy and excitement as today." ”
His words were very loud, and he said them very decently, although the two had not yet been married, but these words were already very tasteful.
Miss Shen was still sitting there upright, and said coldly, "The little girl doesn't know how to drink, please forgive Sima Gongzi, please go back!"
Sima Xiangru never expected that Miss Shen would actually refute his face, which made him very embarrassed.
Master Shen said unhappily, "How can Nana be so rude and not make amends to the son!"
Miss Shen said expressionlessly, "Nana is not rude, on the other hand, General Sima's words and deeds are not in accordance with the rules, the two of us are not married, how can we say such frivolous and rude words!"
"You", Master Shen was furious, he pointed at his beloved daughter, and he couldn't say a word angrily.
The guests who went to the banquet were stunned, they had long heard that the girl of the Shen family was knowledgeable and reasonable, and she was clear and jade, but now when she saw it, she really lived up to her reputation, and this time she could refute the face of the Sima family.
Sima Xiangru has sobered up a lot, he is a wise person, how can he be rude on such an occasion, and hurriedly smiled, "Uncle, it is like being drunk and rude, please don't punish Nana!"
With that, he went straight back to his seat.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the dinner began to be lively, and everyone began to raise their glasses and drink in twos and threes.
I don't know what reason he was in, Mo Chuan's seat was below Xie Tong and the others, which already made him very dissatisfied. Seeing that everyone was only chatting, and there was no singing and dancing at the dinner, which seemed unremarkable, he suddenly stood up and said in a loud voice, "Lord Taiwei, there is no singing and dancing at the dinner, it seems boring, can you arrange two competitions to help you have fun!"
Sima Xuan smiled and said, "Okay, it's rare for Mo Lao to have this Yaxing, today you have a blessed eye!"
I saw Mo Chuan nodding at Gu Heng, Gu Heng rushed to the center of the square with an arrow step, he hugged his fists and said, "I help Gu Heng in the Yellow River, I have seen you."
There was a discussion in the crowd, Gu Heng is the leader of the Yellow River Gang, and he is very famous in the Yellow River generation, but he didn't expect that he actually took refuge in Sima Xuan, from this point of view, his power is not what it used to be.
Gu Heng looked around for a week, and said with a smile, "I heard that Mr. Zhao smashed the marble dice with his bare hands in yesterday's competition, presumably his internal skills are very exquisite, how about playing with both hands!"
Xie Tong hesitated, he was not afraid of Gu Heng, he had fought a draw with Gu Heng outside Chang'an City before, and now his skills have risen sharply, Gu Heng is not his opponent, the key is that he is a gambler, he has been immersed in gambling for more than ten years, and it is normal to know some martial arts, if he seems too clever, it is easy to make people suspicious. He hurriedly said, "It's just a little trick, how can you get into the eyes of the helper, it's better not to be embarrassed!"
Gu Heng sneered, "It seems that Mr. Zhao is still self-aware, but since Mr. does not dare to fight, please pay attention to your words and deeds when you go out in the future, don't think that you can be proud of your achievements if you win a small bet."
Xie Tong didn't make a sound, as if it was the other party's turn to provoke, he had to endure the words first.
Everyone booed one after another, and their disdainful eyes shot at Xie Tong in unison, yesterday his defeat of Wu Zhiting at the gambling table had spread all over Luoyang, and many people still regarded him as a hero.
Coincidentally, Shi Jingjiao suddenly stood up, he sneered, "Mr. Gu's words are bad, people say three hundred and sixty lines, and the line is the champion, it is impossible for one person to know everything, although Mr. Zhao is a gambler, he is a unique gambler, and he can be described as a god at the gambling table, you can't ask him to reach the peak in martial arts, this is equivalent to attacking the enemy's shortcomings with his strengths! If Mr. Gu thinks that his martial arts are strong, why don't he go to the outside of the Saiwai and go to the ghost venerable to fight to the death!"
The shadow of the famous tree of people, the ghost Venerable Mo Zeyang does not need people, I am afraid that he will not dare to go with Gu Heng's courage.
Being squeezed by Shi Jingjiao, Gu Heng's face became very ugly, a burst of red, a burst of white, and he snorted coldly, "Who are you?
Sima Xiangru saw that Gu Heng seemed to be angry with the master of the divine operator, so he hurriedly came out to play a round and said, "Mr. Gu, this is the apprentice of the Jiangnan Hexagram Immortal, known as the master of the divine operator."
How do you know that Gu Heng said disdainfully, "It turned out to be a liar who walked the rivers and lakes, and he actually dared to come here to talk nonsense, if he felt unfair, did he dare to play with the old man?" (To be continued.) )
