Chapter 67: Hongzheng Gate

When the guests who were watching the excitement just now saw this, they all lost interest and went their own way, and Lu Bingzhang had already ordered someone to arrange a large table of wine and food, he first toasted Ah Xiu with a glass of wine, and then asked: "Brother Lin, I don't know where I am now?"

Ah Xiu smiled: "I can't talk about it, I am now the head of the dart in the Lingcheng Huwei Dart Bureau." ”

"Huwei Dart Bureau?" Lu Bingzhang thought for a while, and suddenly said, "But the Huwei Dart Bureau opened by Huang Yichen and Huang Zong's dart head?"

Ah Xiu nodded: "Exactly, what's the matter, Brother Lu knows our chief dart?"

Lu Bingzhang smiled and said, "I don't know, but I've heard the name of Mr. Huang's dart head for a long time, but I haven't had the chance to see it." By the way, Brother Lin, seeing that you are not very old, you have already achieved the dart head, it seems that you must have something extraordinary. ”

"Where, where, it's just luck. Ah Xiu laughed.

The two of them just pushed the cup and changed the lamp, you said a word to me, after half the wine, Lu Bingzhang told his experience, it turned out that this person was originally born in the army, and he made a lot of contributions when the princes were fighting in the past few years, and finally became a deputy general, but he was upright and outspoken, and was suppressed by many colleagues, and finally even lost his official position. Disheartened, he left the army with a group of former brothers and opened this inn in Nine Creek Town.

I see, no wonder all his guys are not simple, the kind of iron-blooded killing aura that has been on the battlefield for a long time is far from being comparable to the children of a small sect like Wuluomen.

After the banquet dispersed, Ah Xiu got up and said goodbye, going to attend the birthday banquet of Mrs. Xu, Lu Bingzhang did not stay, and showed Ah Xiu the way again, and after Ah Xiu thanked him, he went to the west.

After walking for most of the day, before sunset, Ah Xiu saw a manor at the foot of the mountain from afar, and went forward to inquire, it was really Hongzhengmen, and it was a coincidence, today was the day of Mrs. Xu's birthday, and if she came a day late, she would not be able to catch up.

Ah Xiu didn't pay a respect, but after bribing ten taels of silver, he still got in smoothly, and as soon as he entered, he heard someone making noise outside the door, and when he looked back, it turned out to be the three people of Wuluomen who were blocked outside the door, and their posts and silver were stolen by Ah Xiu, and now he can't get in, so he can only reason with the people of Hongzheng Gate at the door.

The spacious hall was full of seats, and half of them were already occupied, and Ah Xiu no longer bothered with the quarrel at the door, and found an empty seat to sit down. Now that the wine and food have not been put on the table, there are some fruits and desserts on the table, and Ah Xiu is really a little hungry, so he grabbed his heart and ate it.

As there were more and more people in the hall, almost all the seats were full, only Ah Xiu was the only one at the table, Ah Xiu was happy and quiet, but he found that the three people from Wuluo Man finally walked in, and they couldn't find a seat, so they sat at Ah Xiu's table.

It turned out that they had been theorizing outside the door for a long time, but they were not allowed to enter, and in the end, people from other sects finally recognized a few of them, and they could come in.

When they found out that the person at the table was Ah Xiu, they all frowned, they didn't know how this kid could appear here, and they were embarrassed to ask more, but the woman looked at Ah Xiu, who was gobbling up snacks, and muttered in a low voice, "Tu Baozi." ”

Ah Xiu naturally heard this, but he didn't want to talk nonsense with these people, so he just lowered his head and ate.

At this time, a man in his thirties walked over, clasped his fists at the three and said, "Senior Brother Chen, Senior Brother Huo, Senior Sister Jiang, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

The three of them hurriedly got up and returned the salute, and the burly man said, "Senior Brother Li, don't come unharmed." ”

Through the name of Senior Brother Li to the three of them, and thinking of the names on the three people's prayer posts, Ah Xiu has already seated them, the burly man is called Chen Heng, the powder-faced man is called Huo Dengxu, and the woman should be called Jiang Huan.

At this time, I heard the senior brother Li ask, "Why did the three of you come so late?

Chen Heng sighed and said, "Senior Brother Li, it's a long story, we accidentally lost the coil and the worship post on the way here, and we almost couldn't get in just now." ”

"Oh, I see. ”

"That's it, let's not talk about this, fortunately, the birthday gift we prepared was put on the horse, and we didn't lose it together, otherwise, we wouldn't be able to explain it this time. Chen Heng smiled bitterly.

"Since you're here, hehe, a few people, don't bother, we'll talk again when we have time, I'll go back first." After that Senior Brother Li finished speaking, he left.

Ah Xiu heard it clearly, and couldn't help but think to himself: I knew that they still had birthday gifts on the horse, so I stole them all together to see what they could do.

After a while, a middle-aged man walked in and shouted, "Please old birthday star!"

As soon as the words fell, I saw an old man slowly walking into the main hall with a dragon head cane, walked to a Taishi chair in the middle, and sat down slowly. Ah Xiu looked at this person, he couldn't tell his age, but looking at his full head of white hair and white beard, he knew that his age must be not young, but his eyes were quite bright. This should be Mrs. Xu, Ah Xiu guessed.

The middle-aged man walked up to the old man and said loudly: "Today is my father's 70th birthday. After saying that, he clapped his hands twice, and immediately a subordinate came in with all kinds of wine and food, put them on the table, and removed the fruit and dessert from before.

Originally, Ah Xiu was only half-full, but now that he has changed the food, he doesn't care about his image at all, and he puts down his chopsticks at the meat section. The three people at the same table couldn't help frowning when they looked at Ah Xiu's appearance, especially Na Jiang Huan, who showed a look of disdain between his eyebrows.

Soon after the banquet began, a person stood at the table closest to Mrs. Xu, who looked to be in his forties, and he clenched his fists and said: "Send Wang Jinqi in Xia Nanshan, and wish Mrs. Xu a blessing like the East China Sea and a longevity better than Nanshan." I specially sent an ancient sword to express my heart. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience stopped moving, knowing that the gift had arrived, and only Ah Xiu was still eating and drinking there.

At this time, I saw Wang Jinqi take two steps forward, holding a long cloth bag in both hands, he opened the cloth bag and took out a green sheath sword, which looked a little old, but the pattern was simple, obviously some years, only to hear Wang Jinqi say loudly: "Old Shouxing, this ancient sword is something that my senior brother got by accident, it has a history of at least two hundred years, and it is still extremely sharp and very precious." Today, now I am willing to throw bricks and lead the jade, and I am the first to take it out and offer ugliness. Although he said it humbly, it could be seen from his high chin and slightly upturned corners of his mouth that he was actually very arrogant.

Xu Ziqian's eyes lit up and said, "Then I will thank Brother Wang for my father, and thank you for the Nanshan faction." As he spoke, he took the sword with both hands, looked at it for a moment, and then turned and handed it to his father.

Old Lady Xu took the sword, held the hilt, and withdrew the sword at once, but seeing the cold light and daunting, Old Lady Xu nodded and praised: "It's really a good sword." ”
