Chapter 427
Fang Yingkan reconsidered and set the location in a restaurant he owned instead of Shentonghou's Mansion.
He reached a consensus with the Dragon King of Five Lakes, thinking that this is a matter of the rivers and lakes, and it is best not to involve the court, and it is not necessary to invite too many officials.This restaurant is called "Yuxianlou", which is different from Sanhelou and other places. The dishes are exquisite and expensive, and it specializes in entertaining dignitaries, and rarely does business with ordinary guests.
It can be seen from this that the environment of the restaurant must be rich and elegant, and the venue is extremely spacious.Fang Ying saw an ingenuity, and ordered people to evacuate the tables and chairs on the entire second floor, and rearrange them so that the seats formed a big circle, and the guests faced the same center of the circle, so it was easier to talk.
He really tried his best to complete this crucial task, and even refused to pretend to be his subordinates, personally greeted the guests in the building, greeted them with a smile on his face, greeted, greeted, and gossiped one by one, and refused to ignore anyone.However, this is not a matter of condescension, corporal courtesy, because the people who are qualified to sit in the table are all famous.
Needless to say, Lei Shu and Su Mengzhen, Hua Kufa and Wen Mengcheng are highly respected, have many disciples, and have the ability to influence the situation in the capital.The uncle of the Shenhou Mansion and the first master of the deep palace were there almost at the same time.
Yi Ye also brought Wen Renping, a famous member of the Wen family known as "Tian Can", to let him personally participate in this matter, to satisfy his desire to witness great events in the martial arts world, and to use his "historical pen" by the way.Wen Renping's brother, "Land Que" Wen Ziping also wanted to do the same, but he couldn't get out of his family, so he could only look at the capital and sigh, doomed to miss this grand event.
If the names of the people in the banquet are crossed out, then there are not many people in the Jianghu who can be called "big shots".Father Zhang San, the leader of Tianji, may be one of them, but his adopted son Zhang Tan sitting there is equivalent to him coming in person.At the same time, Zhang Tan is also a member of Chang'an "Peach Blossom Club", which is enough to represent Lai Xiao'e.
Since the Ouchi guards must have a leader, since the first master came, Shu Wuxi would naturally have to stay in the palace.Unexpectedly, Mi Cangqiong also refused to come.
He received the news immediately, hesitated until now, and finally chose to give up, entrusting full authority to Fang Yingkan.This is not a sensible approach.Fang should look inside, and he is outside, just in time to echo inside and outside, so as to avoid unexpected accidents.
Fang Yingkan clasped his hands together, greeted people with a smile, and thought of Mi Cangqiong's opinion.This respected old eunuch once squinted his eyes, and with a sharp tone of iron, he concluded that something would happen today.He said he had feelings of restlessness, like he had a desire for a woman and had nowhere to vent it out.He asked Fang Yingkan to be more careful, and Fang Yingkan sincerely agreed.
After he agreed, he still thought that Eunuch Mi thought too much.
The Dragon King of Five Lakes rejected Lei Mei's plan and refused to seize this great opportunity to assassinate Lei Shang, probably because he was determined not to cause trouble, and wanted to take off that mask in a safe way.He is willing to let go of lightning damage, let alone kill others.Did he want to kill Su Mengzhen?Or wait for the right time to let people like Wuqing and Yiye splatter the blood on the spot?
If he was from Thunder Martial Hall, he could use gunpowder and firearms to destroy Yuxianlou in one go.However, Twelve Links has always been the enemy of Thunderbolt Hall.In recent years, the Lei family has been torn apart, its vitality has been severely damaged, and the relationship between the two parties has gradually eased due to the lack of competition with Lianhuanwu.It is impossible to win people's trust by insisting that the Dragon King is from Leimen and his surname is Lei.
Besides, he has enough worries himself, and he doesn't want to take over Eunuch Mi's worries.
Su Ye guessed right.Fang Yingkan was shocked when he heard that he knew her and had dealings with her.After returning home, for the past 30 days of this month, he couldn't help himself. He always made guesses intentionally or unintentionally, carefully pondering everyone he met, in order to rule out her true identity.
For four or five days, he actually had a nightmare. He dreamed that the Dragon King's mask was lifted to reveal the face of his adoptive father Fang Geyin, causing him to scream and wake up.After waking up from the dream, his heart was pounding, knowing that it was impossible, but the cloud in his heart could not be dispelled.
Therefore, his mood is unavoidably anxious, and his thoughts are unavoidably messy, like a person who has never drank coffee and drank coffee, despite trying to suppress it, his mouth is still dry, and there is a light in his eyes that represents excitement.
In order to control the situation as much as possible, he deliberately limited the number of participants, and the effect was quite significant.Most of the guests present were quite friendly with him, at least they were familiar with each other.So Hua Kufa brought his son Hua Qingzhou, and Wen Mengcheng helped to join Wen Wan's daughter Wen Wenrou, which was beyond his expectations.
Of course Fang Yingkan never imagined that he wanted to date Su Mengzhen's junior sister, and Hua Qingzhou also liked that "Sister Su" very much.Hua Kufa told him to give up his heart, and never think about being the brother-in-law of Mr. Su of Jinfengdriyu Tower in this life.But he still couldn't let go of this thought, and finally persuaded his father to bring him with him. The name was to watch the Dragon King of the Five Lakes, but he was actually here to see Su Ye.When he sees people, he is satisfied.
This night, no one was late, but seven or eight out of ten were early.They all hurried and arrived on time, and they were all similar to Fang Yingkan, more or less excited, wishing that the Dragon King would immediately pull the damn hat off his head as soon as he arrived.
The courtyard, stables, and even outside the gate of Yuxian Tower were full of carriages, sedan chairs, and snorting horses, as well as all the gang members who obeyed the leader's order and waited outside.
It's a pity that the people from Twelve Links will not enter Yuxian Tower until all the guests arrive.Who the Dragon King of the Five Lakes brought today is a question that even Fang Yingkan can't figure out.
Everyone cheered up, put on smiles, and put the enemy's position aside.Even Su Mengzhen smiled at Lei Shan, unintentionally satirizing him sarcastically.Lei Shun was even more polite, he didn't hesitate to praise him, after he praised Su Ye, he praised Bai Choufei, even Yang Wuxie didn't leave behind, as if he had forgotten about the broken board door.
At first glance, the atmosphere is really harmonious, but there is a lingering tension.Everyone picks things that don't matter, and hopes that time will pass as soon as possible.
Fang Ying looked back to the main seat, glanced around the table, and secretly counted the number of people.
He saw Lei Mei, dressed as a young scholar, with a pink face like jade, Su Ye, who was bright and elegant, leaning over to talk to Bai Choufei, and the gentleness who ran behind Huagufa and drove Yin Shengxue to Wen Mengcheng.
These three women are surprisingly beautiful and have a very unique temperament. They are all well-known beauties in the martial arts.If the occasion was not too serious, someone must have stepped forward to talk to them.Moreover, they are all inextricably linked with Su Mengzhen.The two are his fellow apprentices, and the other is Guo Dongshen from the Golden Wind and Rain Building.
When he thought of this fact, the smile on his lips grew stronger, and a complicated and incomprehensible emotion rose from the bottom of his heart.However, this emotion disappeared immediately, because the "Iron Tree Blossom" brother had already walked in, loudly announcing the name of the visitor with a blank face.
Gongsun Lan and Ye Chouhong, this is the answer the Dragon King gave him.One is the manager of Lianhuanwu, and the other is the leader of the Suzaku Yin army. They are impeccable in terms of identity and outstanding in terms of martial arts.
The atmosphere during the banquet continued to be tense, like a bowstring stretched inch by inch. The surface was smooth and strong, but in fact it might snap at any time.There is no partition such as a screen in front of the door. Once an outsider enters the door, the people inside can see clearly immediately.
Aunt Gongsun is dressed in neon clothes and feathers, she looks like a concubine and fairy, she has a splendid feeling of being extremely noble and gorgeous, which makes people feel that her identity is different.Ye Chouhong is just the opposite. She is dressed in black, with a rare sword named "Yitian" hanging from her waist. She has no extra decorations all over her body. Her temperament is as cold as ice that will never melt, and at the same time, people cannot ignore her. Gorgeous and radiant.
There is no doubt that when they debuted, they attracted everyone's attention.Everyone was amazed by their looks and wanted to see their sword skills.But today, they are by no means the protagonists.It stands to reason that the Dragon King should head straight in, and go straight to the area reserved for him.There was no one in front of the two women, and there was no sign of the Dragon King in black.
Soon, amazement turned to confusion.Fortunately, most of the people here are reserved and self-respecting, and there will be no embarrassing scenes of whispering.Fang Yingkan frowned imperceptibly, stood up with a smile, and greeted the two extraordinary guests.
Su Ye sat behind Su Mengzhen, side by side with Bai Choufei and Yang Wuxie.On the small table in front of her, there are rare wines and teas that are hard to buy, and high-quality dried and fresh fruits, which have not been touched so far.Her gaze followed Aunt Gongsun, moved constantly, then moved back to the side, and landed on the left side of Xiaoji.
Yang Wuxie finally couldn't bear it anymore, turned her head and asked her quietly: "Why didn't the Dragon King come? Do you want someone to welcome him again?"
Su Ye also tilted his head, and whispered: "You ask me, who should I ask?"
At this time, except for the Dragon King of Five Lakes, all other guests were present.Ordinary people would think that he was deliberately putting on airs, delaying time, and asking the people at the table to wait for him helplessly.But those present knew well that he would not do such boring things.His aura comes from the heart, it is completely natural, and there is no need to put on an effort.
Others don't have to ask, but Fang Yingkan, the master, can't.
For some reason, the phrase "I am someone you know" that the Dragon King said suddenly came back to his memory, echoing endlessly in his heart.He glanced at the Zhang brothers and saw that they were also puzzled. He didn't know whether to close the door and return to him, or continue to wait outside the door for the Dragon King, so he asked with a smile, "When will the Dragon King arrive? Is there any delay?" gone?"
Ye Chouhong was quite familiar with him, she stared at him with a bright smile, but did not answer.Aunt Gongsun sighed softly, and said softly: "Don't dare to do it, she will not keep you waiting. She has already come, and she is here."
She opened her vermilion lips lightly, and uttered these two soft and touching words, it was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, and the tongue burst into spring thunder, shaking the dead silence in Yuxian Tower.Even though Fang Yingkan was mentally prepared, his face suddenly turned pale.
... Time seems to have stood still, and in an instant, there are vicissitudes.A hundred years, a thousand years, ten thousand years, day after day, year after year.The world changes and dynasties change, but this Yuxianlou is eternal, immersed in endless horror.
No one can describe this feeling, just as no one can tell the mood at this moment.Those with poor concentration have a buzzing in their brains and refuse to believe their ears; those with good concentration can smell great danger from this sentence, and their spine seems to be immersed in ice water. Neck cold to tailbone.
In an instant, Su Mengzhen yelled, the sound was extremely anxious and helpless, as if he had seen the most terrifying, grotesque and incredible thing in the world.
