Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Banquet

At this time, King An, Wan'er, and Zhu Zhi in Ningxia had all come to the Fengyue Gang at the kind invitation of Ma Fengyue to participate in the Eid al-Fitr of the Hui people.

Eid al-Fitr is one of the grand and important festivals of the Hui people, on this day, in addition to bathing and purifying, going to the mosque to participate in the festival religious gatherings, but also to wear festive costumes, visit relatives and friends, and say "Sai Liangmu" to each other, which is to express the meaning of wishing you peace and praying for happiness in the coming year.

This day is the eve of Eid al-Fitr, in order to celebrate King An came to participate in Eid al-Fitr, Ma Fengyue held a grand drinking party in the gang, inviting the elders of high virtue among the Hui people, as well as local celebrities.

At the banquet, all kinds of people came to pay tribute frequently because they were grateful for King An's leniency and benevolent policy of soothing the people, and it was Wan'er, Zhu Zhi, who was sitting next to King An, who was also blessed by many Hui people.

King An respects the customs of the Hui people, replaces wine with water, and does not refuse to come, and for a while, the guests and hosts are happy.

And after Zhu Zhi drank a few cups, his mind was on Miao Ling, and he couldn't help but look at Miao Ling, who was sitting below.

At this time, Miao Ling was bored eating the food in front of her, her personality was joyful, and in front of many elders, she felt a little restrained and her mood was relatively dull.

Zhu Zhi saw that Miao Lingdai's eyebrows were frowning slightly, and his face was gloomy, so he smiled lightly at the moment, walked straight to Miao Ling from King An's side, and after coming to her, he said softly: "Miss Miao, what's the matter, who provoked you?"

"Uh!" Miao Ling woke up from his boredom, raised his head and saw the handsome and dignified Zhu Zhi, and immediately said, "Ah, little prince, why are you here! Come, sit, sit, sit......"

While speaking, Miao Ling pulled the vacant seat next to her open and motioned for Zhu Zhi to sit down.

Zhu Zhi was also very happy to see this, and sat down excitedly.

He originally admired Miao Ling in his heart, and now he saw that Miao Ling seemed to have affection for him, and he didn't feel infinitely happy.

Wan'er on the other side of the table, seeing Zhu Zhi and Miao Ling's happy conversation, was happy at first, and blessed her brother in her heart to find her love.

Then it was bitter again, and now Zilong has been out for seven days.

Wan'er thought of Zilong and her own past, and her heart was sweet, but now that she had left the palace for seven days and had not returned, she was very worried in her heart, and she sighed heavily.

Wang An, who was sitting next to her, was originally dealing with the elders and celebrities, and inadvertently heard Wan'er's sigh, and immediately said sorry to these elders and celebrities, then turned his head, looked at Wan'er, and said, "Wan'er, are you worried about Zilong again?"

Wan'er heard King An's question, and couldn't help blushing, muttered, and nodded.

"Don't worry!" Looking at the sorrow that could not be dissolved between Wan'er's eyebrows, King An said, "I have also sent He Jin with a large team of guards to look for him, don't worry!"

I didn't want to say this but was heard by Miao Ling on the other side, she had deep complaints about Zilong, listened to King An's words, and remembered the scene of the last time Zilong met, and secretly hated in her heart: "It's best that Xu Zilong disappears and never comes back!"

And Wan'er listened to King An's enlightenment, and also stretched her brows slightly, and smiled at King An: "Daddy, I'm fine! Tonight is the Ma Gang Master and the elders who have a banquet for you, you can't snub others because of your daughter!"

Wang An smiled when he heard that Wan'er was so sensible, but Ma Fengyue over there happened to step forward and said: "The prince has such a sensible daughter, it is really a blessing for the prince!"

King An was even happier when he said this, and said to Wan'er: "Wan'er, Zilong is a human being, and he attaches the most importance to his promises. He said that he would be back in ten days, so he would definitely be able to come back! I guess he should already be on his way back, don't worry too much!"

"Hmm!" Wan'er nodded obediently and said, "Got it, Daddy, you go and accompany the elders!

"Then you have to be careful, don't run out of the Fengyue Gang!" King An instructed, and immediately assigned two guards, followed Wan'er who got up, and then went over to talk to a group of elders and celebrities.

Wan'er just wanted to find a quiet location at this time, quiet for a while, Zilong went for seven days, there was no news, she only felt that she didn't know the taste of food.

In this way, she walked aimlessly to a small pond in the Fengyue Gang's station, looking at the pond under the moonlight, and she didn't feel fascinated.

The two guards were also standing far away, not daring to step forward to disturb Wan'er's thoughts.

Just when Wan'er was in her thoughts for a long time, suddenly one of the guards shouted, "Who?" The two guards bowed over, walked quickly to Wan'er's side, blocked Wan'er behind her, pulled out the blade, and pointed to the darkness in the distance.

"It's me!" In the darkness, a middle-aged beautiful woman walked out, it was Ma Fengyue, the leader of the Fengyue Gang, I saw her gently shaking lotus steps, and said as she walked, "It's quiet in the dead of night, I'm worried that Miss Wan'er is not safe here alone, so I'll come and take a look!

When the two guards saw that it was Ma Fengyue, they couldn't help but relax and let go of Wan'er behind them.

Wan'er was interrupted by an exclamation from the guard, and when she turned her head, she saw Ma Fengyue asking, and suddenly her eyes lit up, she remembered that Zilong was unsuccessful in finding her mother, and the Fengyue Gang was a big gang in Ningxia, so she should know some clues.

Immediately, Wan'er smiled and said, "Ma Gang Master, I'm here!"

Ma Fengyue saw Wan'er in white and Shengxue, and couldn't help but nod secretly, and said with a smile: "Now that the banquet is underway, Miss Wan'er is here alone, but is there anything to worry about?

She also just saw Wan'er come out depressed, and she didn't know if it was because the Fengyue Gang didn't take care of her, so she came out to see what happened to Miss Wan'er.

Wan'er made up her mind at this time to ask Ma Fengyue about Zilong's life experience, so she immediately walked a few steps quickly, came to Ma Fengyue's side, and said, "If you talk about trouble, there is really one thing, and I don't know if the helper can help me?"

"Oh?" Ma Fengyue was slightly stunned, and then smiled, "As long as I can help, I will definitely help Miss Wan'er!"

"A friend of mine came to Ningxia to look for his mother-in-law, but after looking for a long time, he couldn't find it! I thought that the Fengyue Gang was all over Ningxia, and the Ma Gang Master should be a person with good hands and eyes and a lot of knowledge, so I hope that the Ma Gang Leader will help my friend!" Wan'er heard that Ma Fengyue was willing to help, and she was also overjoyed.

"Looking for your mother?" Ma Fengyue frowned slightly, and said, "But I don't know how old your friend is, and what kind of person he is looking for!"

"My friend is only 20 years old, he grew up as an adoptive mother, and later his adoptive mother left him because of a man-made disaster! He was lonely and helpless, so he had to fall into the rivers and lakes and beg along the streets! Later, he accidentally got the news that his mother might be in Ningxia, so he came all the way from the Central Plains to this place, hoping to find his mother and fulfill his filial piety!"

While speaking, Wan'er couldn't help but have a sour nose and was slightly uncomfortable.

Obviously, she remembered Zilong's tragic experience and felt uncomfortable for him.

"What clues are there?" Ma Fengyue is also a kind-hearted person, and when she heard what happened to Zilong, she was also very sympathetic, and asked Wan'er.

"He has a jade pendant!" Wan'er remembered Zilong's jade pendant, immediately described the jade pendant, and pointed to the direction of the big mosque, saying that the pattern on the jade pendant was exactly the same as the mosque, and finally asked, "Does the horse gang master know the origin of this jade pendant!"

I don't want Ma Fengyue to listen to the description of this jade pendant, her face is very strange, as if excited, and as if surprised, after a long time, she said slowly: "What's your friend's name?"

"Xu Zilong!" Wan'er thought that Ma Fengyue knew the origin of this jade pendant, and it was more likely that she knew who Zilong's biological mother was, so she immediately asked eagerly, "What, do you know any clues from the Ma gang leader?"

Ma Fengyue repeated the name Xu Zilong, and after a while, she remembered, isn't this the Xu Shaoxia who provoked her daughter to be angry all the time and met her outside Ningxia City? Hearing Wan'er's question, Ma Fengyue shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Wan'er, I really don't know the origin of this jade pendant! But I will arrange for someone to help Miss Wan'er find out." ”

"Huh?" Wan'er lowered her head in disappointment, kicked the small stone, and said after a while, "It's okay, then please help the master! Let's go back! Don't let my father wait too much!"

Ma Fengyue glanced at Wan'er and nodded, and then the two returned to the banquet hall in the front yard hand in hand.

After participating in the Eid al-Fitr activities the next day, King An took Zhu Zhi, Wan'er and Ma Fengyue and other elders and celebrities to say goodbye to each other and returned to the palace.

King An and Wan'er sat in a carriage, and Zhu Zhi was dressed in military clothes, holding weapons, riding on a white horse, and guarding outside.

A group of more than 100 people headed towards Ningxia City. When I got closer, I saw a commotion at the gate of the East City, and King An and Wan'er, who were in the car, also heard the movement, and immediately King An stretched out his head and said to Zhu Zhi: "Deacon, go and see, what's going on there!"

Zhu Zhi hugged his fists and received the order, and just as he was about to hit the horse, he saw a gallop over there, and came to King An's drive from afar, turned over and dismounted, and saluted: "Subordinate Xu Zilong, I was ordered to find the military salary, and I came to return my life to the prince!"

It turned out that this person was Zilong, he was alone early the morning before yesterday, hired some grooms, loaded the military salary on the car, returned to Ningxia, slept all the way, day and night, just arrived at the city gate, and was celebrating with the soldiers guarding the city gate The military salary was recovered, and the frame of King An drove over.

Because Zilong was standing on top of the carriage and was a person with strong martial arts, he could naturally find out that King An's car was coming, and immediately called the horse directly to see King An's order.

Originally, King An thought that someone was making trouble, so he got out of the car and glanced at Zilong.

I saw that Zilong's hair was messy at this time, and his clothes were all dusty, and he looked like a dusty man.

Seeing the full car of military salaries again, he was immediately relieved and distressed, and was just about to raise his hand to signal Zilong to reply with his body, but he felt that a person behind him suddenly squeezed himself and almost fell off the horse.

He also knew who it was, so he immediately jumped out of the car with a smile and looked over.
