Chapter 10: Invitation (2)
Changfeng and Guo Huai appeared at Baihualou on time, but he just told the two girls that he had gone to Du Xiang to drink, and did not tell them about this banquet.
I successfully found the private room where I was going to have a banquet - the Lasvi Hall. In the capital, Baihua Tower is also one of the famous restaurants. Because it has elegant and simple decorations, and each private room is named after flowers. It is the best place for literati and poets to treat friends. Therefore, the people here are all scholars and literati and talented women. Kou Xiping invited Changfeng to this restaurant for a banquet. His intentions were self-evident. He thought that a rude man in the martial arts world could have a great cultural cultivation. Tonight, Changfeng must make a fool of himself in front of Dugu Qian, so that he could break the heart of his lover.
Kou Xiping is not a targetless person. He has investigated Changfeng, and he also clearly knows that Changfeng has been Lin Qimeng's teacher Xixi. He originally thought he had some talent, but he was disappointed when he knew the results of the investigation. Changfeng had never taught Lin Qimeng anything in Lin Mansion, which made him even more sure that this person was not enough to pose a substantial threat to him except for some talent in martial arts and good-looking people.
In order to let others see Changfeng making a fool of himself tonight, Kou Xiping also invited Dugu Changfeng and Du Xiang, one of the four young masters, as well as a few friends he met. Dugu Qian did not tell Kou Xiping's approach, and she also wanted to know about Changfeng's talent.
Of course, such a banquet is indispensable for beauties. Dugu Qian dressed up as a singer and sat next to Kou Xiping. If Changfeng really brought the two girls over, it would really be Changfeng's army, because such a banquet seemed not suitable to bring family members.
Changfeng's face suddenly became gloomy when he walked into the plum blossom hall. These people did have bad intentions, but they immediately changed, clasped their fists and said, "I have been waiting for a long time, Changfeng has come late."
Kou Xiping took all the changes in Changfeng's face just now. Seeing that he was changing so quickly, he knew that the other party was not an ordinary person. As the host of the banquet, he stood up and greeted: "In Kou Xiping, I heard that Mr. Changfeng had served as the western banquet of the Lin Mansion and must be a well-educated person. We admired him so much, so we set up this banquet to welcome the teacher to the capital."
Changfeng responded with a smile, "Go award, get too award..." He said a compliment to the other party, and then Kou Xiping introduced Changfeng and Guo Huai to Changfeng and Guo Huai to the guests. Du Xiang had known each other for a long time, and focused on getting to know the prince of the Prince of the regent. Dugu Changsong, who was ranked below Kou Xiping, had no stranger. Originally, Zhi General Yu Wencheng might have attended, but the border was in a hurry and said that the people in Qingmeng Grassland were about to move again, so he hurried to the border and had the chance to get together again next time.
Changfeng also introduced Guo Huai to everyone, most of whom were fabricated out of thin air, and no one expressed doubts.
At the request of Dugu Qian, Changfeng was arranged to sit next to Dugu Qian, and Changfeng knew nothing about this arrangement. Since Dugu Qian was dressed in a gorgeous dress and made-up tonight and dressed as a singer, Changfeng did not recognize him for a while, and he was not very used to this kind of banquet, so his eyes would naturally not stay on these singers. Moreover, the only thing he was unfamiliar at the banquet tonight was himself. Everyone looked at him, and this way, he felt even more uncomfortable.
The banquet was just the beginning. As the host, Kou Xiping raised his glass first and said, "Mr. Changfeng came to the capital for the first time, so why don't we just give him a cup?"
With the response from everyone, Changfeng drank the first glass of wine at today's banquet. The wine was good, but Changfeng was in a very bad mood. Kou Xiping asked himself to bring his wife to the banquet, but this was the scene. If he really brought the two girls over and sat beside him, wouldn't they be different from these singers? What a Kou Xiping, I have no grudges and grudges with you, and he actually insulted himself like this. If he hadn't endured this tone and wanted to know your real purpose, he would have slapped the table and left.
Changfeng stood up and said, "Changfeng thanks you for your kindness, but the wife here is not healthy and cannot accompany you. Please see you. I wonder if you can introduce your wives to Changfeng?" Changfeng stared at the singers beside these people. Of course, Du Xiang would not be embarrassed.
Kou Xiping originally wanted Changfeng to come to Taiwan. If he was single, there would be nothing wrong. If he brought his wife with him, I am afraid that this matter would become a big joke in the literary world in the capital. Now it is his turn to go down. If the women accompanying him are all singers from Baihualou, Changfeng would be furious and leave the table. If he didn't say anything, then he would invite his wife to the banquet in his invitation card, and he had family affairs among himself and others. Isn't this a joke to want to watch Changfeng? This is really a dilemma. It would be easy to deal with Changfeng if Changfeng left as soon as he came in. Now he not only sat down, but also drank the toasts from everyone, and what he did gave everyone a lot of face.
Changfeng looked at everyone quietly, with an undetectable smile on his lips, wanting me to make a fool of myself, but fortunately I was more conscientious and didn't tell the two women.
Dugu Changsong broke the deadlock and stood up and said, "Brother Changfeng, it's not that Changsong doesn't want to introduce him, but I'm still alone, so I'll ask someone to accompany you for the time being. Brother Changfeng won't mind, right?"
Changfeng has been observing these people. Among the four young masters, Li Xianlong will not talk about it for the time being. Du Xiang is both top-notch in his talent and knowledge. Kou Xiping is scheming and invites himself to the banquet to make himself look ugly without realizing it. Dugu Changsong is the most dangerous, because he has always looked like he has not changed his expression at all. If this person is an enemy, it will definitely not be easy to mess with. There are also several other people, such as Yan Jidao, the son of the Minister of Revenue, whose eyes have never left these singers. A standard playboy, and the rest have no value for observation for the time being, so Changfeng handed them over to Guo Huai.
With Dugu Changsong's lead, everyone shirked for various reasons, and Kou Xiping blocked it for almost the same reason.
Changfeng knew that it was not the time to tear the face, and the dinner was extremely dull and boring, but it allowed Changfeng to learn a lot of information, which was of great help to successfully obtain the approval for the shipyard construction.
The meal was a good banquet and it was a bad thing. Dugu Qian was smart and understood what was wrong from the beginning. She originally planned to dress up as a maid, but was disturbed by Kou Xiping. In addition, she also wanted to learn about Changfeng nearby, so she disguised herself as a singer and sat next to Kou Xiping. When she saw that the women around other people were similar to her, she instantly understood that Kou Xiping wanted Changfeng to make a fool of himself. The plan to learn about Changfeng's talent was completely failed, and it also deepened her disgust for Kou Xiping. How could a person with such a narrow mind be his lifelong happiness? In fact, while she understood Changfeng, she was also investigating Kou Xiping. Unfortunately, Kou Xiping was in a temporary aura, and the relationship between him and Dugu Qian was no longer possible.
"This Kou Xiping is such a bastard, and he actually came up with such a despicable trick!" Baihualou, who was released by Changfeng, couldn't help but curse.
"Guo Huai is still afraid that the lord will have an attack on the spot, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." Guo Huai said his concern just now.
"Changfeng has no grudges and grudges with him. Why did he set up a plan to deal with me?" Changfeng asked in confusion. He really couldn't figure it out.
Guo Huai couldn't think of anything this time, it was a bit inexplicable. Changfeng felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
"Brother Changfeng!" Du Xiang noticed Changfeng's figure and shouted loudly behind her.
Changfeng turned around and Du Xiang happened to walk in front of him and said, "Du Xiang didn't expect Kou Xiping to be such a person, and Du Xiang would never date such a person again."
"Brother Du, Changfeng can't guess Kou Xiping's intention to do this tonight. Logically speaking, I have no grudges and revenge on him. Why did he treat me like this?" Changfeng hoped to know something from Du Xiang's mouth.
"Brother Changfeng knows, do you have someone sitting by your side tonight?" Du Xiang couldn't help asking.
Changfeng looked at Guo Huai. Who else is there? Isn’t it Guo Huai? He said suspiciously: “Guo Huai?”
"It's not Mr. Guo, it's the singer next to Brother Changfeng." Du Xiang further reminded.
"Singer?" Changfeng and Guo Huai said in unison, still shook their heads.
"She is Dugu Qian, the fifth princess today!" Du Xiang whispered.
"Ah!" Changfeng and Guo Huaijun opened their mouths so wide that they could stuff several eggs into. This was too unbelievable. Isn't it a bit ridiculous for a princess to transform into a singer? But this is not a precedent for Dugu Qian. There was a singer who transformed into a singer and participated in the courtesan competition in his family, and he won the championship in the end!
"What does this have to do with the fifth princess?" Changfeng recovered for a while and asked, "And Brother Du, how did you know the fifth princess?"
Du Xiang smiled bitterly and said, "Du Xiang really doesn't know the answer. As for why he met the fifth princess, it was because Du Xiang had the ability to remember everything he saw. He had seen him once and never forgot his life, so Du Xiang recognized the fifth princess."
Seeing that Changfeng seemed to be in deep thought, Du Xiang was afraid that Changfeng would continue to ask questions, so he quickly bowed and said goodbye.
"Brother Du..." Changfeng actually seemed to be asking questions, but Du Xiang had already gone far away and walked away.
The matter is still unclear, and another fifth princess is involved, as well as Kou Xiping, who is also the Minister of War, and it is becoming more and more complicated.
Changfeng thought while walking, but suddenly he felt alert in his heart and thought to himself, "It's not good, Tian Xiner and the others are in danger."
Changfeng suddenly used his light skills to run towards the inn. Guo Huai was very surprised when he saw Changfeng's sudden action. He didn't have time to ask why, so he hurriedly used his light skills to follow.
Along the way, Changfeng was anxious and used his light skills to the extreme. It seemed like a gust of clear smoke passed. Guo Huai was not bad either, but he could only follow behind barely, so that he would not be able to see Changfeng in front of him.
Sure enough, the warning was in time, and there was a fierce fighting sound from the inn, and the shouting of Shui Ningxin clearly reached Changfeng's ears, and the situation was quite bad.
Changfeng returned to the inn in an instant, and he knew their identities as soon as he saw that he knew their identity. Changfeng was holding his breath tonight. No matter how hard he went forward, he would change to Shui Ningxin and stab the opponent with ninety-nine-eighty-one swords.
The plan tonight was perfect. Unfortunately, Wen Zhang didn't know that Shui Ningxin could communicate with Changfeng's heart, which made Changfeng feel that they were in danger and quickly returned to help. Seeing that his three sons were about to take Duan Caiyan off, Guo Huai came with him again. As soon as the Lihuo Sword came out, he unexpectedly rescued Duan Caiyan who was busy.
Changfeng hated Wen Zhang to the core. Recently, his skills have improved. The blue sword energy has fully exerted great power. At the moment, the sword style is unfolding, all of which are offensive moves, all pointing to the key points of Wen Zhang. Wen Zhang complained that he would not send him off. Why did he come back so soon? His martial arts have improved again. The advantages he had originally had in his skills are gone, but now they have improved, and his sword skills are still improved. If this continues, he is no match for him at all. He is suffering from the fact that his demon true qi has not been practiced to the Great Perfection. If he practices to the Great Perfection, the demon true qi will change from the current gray to the colorless, and the power will not only double.
Changfeng was already red in his eyes. Wen Zhang attacked him repeatedly and asked him to escape easily every time. Chang Feng felt anger in his heart and couldn't let out, which happened to be with him tonight. He would leave Wen Zhang no matter what he said tonight.
Duan Caiyan fell to the ground and became unconscious after being rescued by Guo Huai. After Shui Ningxin was replaced by Changfeng, she went to take care of her. With her beside Duan Caiyan, Changfeng had no worries. He suddenly shouted: "Guo Huai, let go of his hands and feet and kill!"
Guo Huai understood intently that the power of the Lihuo Sword suddenly increased by three points and pressed against the three brothers. Except for Wencai, the other two of them were already in danger. They had faced Guo Huai more than once, and they ran away in a panic every time. They had a psychological fear of Guo Huai. They could not play 50% of their martial arts, so they were naturally beaten.
Changfeng really had a murderous intent. Each sword was emitted by ten percent of his skill, and the sword style was getting faster and faster, so fast that it was difficult for the naked eye to see. It was a way of fighting that wanted to kill the opponent.
Wen Zhang was cunning and immediately felt something was wrong, so he immediately took the defensive position and actively looked for opportunities to escape.
Although Changfeng was angry and had a clear mind, he knew that he wanted to leave again as soon as he took the defensive move, but Changfeng did not intend to give him this opportunity.
The recently developed "deathly style" has taken action. His sword technique has no false moves. He only has one move to concentrate all his internal strength at the tip of the sword and stab the opponent at a parallel speed. It can be said to be the stupidest move, but in Changfeng's hands, combined with his internal strength, such a flawless move is the most powerful killing move, especially suitable for attacking opponents at close range.
Wen Zhang was shocked. He had never seen this sword technique before. Moreover, his protective true energy dispersed when it touched the sword energy on Changfeng Sword, and he hurriedly retreated. Unfortunately, although Changfeng's sword did not rotate and borrow force, it was still as fast as lightning and did not give Wen Zhang any chance. It suddenly pierced into Wen Zhang's lower abdomen and brought a bloody flower. If it weren't for Wen Zhang's super adaptability, the sword that Changfeng picked up would help him open his stomach.
When the three brothers of the Wen family saw their father in the blink of an eye, they were injured in Changfeng's hand. They didn't know where a force was generated. They picked up Guo Huai's Lihuo Sword and quickly flashed to Wenwen. They raised Wenwen and fled out.
Changfeng's sword consumed most of his skills. Seeing that he was hurting Wen Zhang, he exhaled a breath in his heart and stopped Guo Huai who wanted to pursue him and said, "No need to chase him. Wen Zhang's injury may not be cured for more than half a year. Moreover, they are so familiar with our whereabouts. There must be their accomplices in the capital. We are a little lonely and we suffer losses if we chase him."
Such a fierce fight naturally woke everyone in the inn. The inn owner had sent someone to report to the official position. Fortunately, it was just a damage to some things, which did not hurt people's lives, and the city defense people did not make things difficult for Changfeng and others. After collecting some silver, the big things turned into small things and nothing was left.
"What's wrong with Caiyan?" After dealing with everything, Changfeng freed up his hands to take care of Duan Caiyan in a coma.
Shui Ningxin said worriedly: "Sister Caiyan seems to be poisoned."
Changfeng hurriedly reached out and grabbed Duan Caiyan's pulse. His pulse was stagnant. After carefully checking his face and eyes, his heart suddenly sank. Duan Caiyan was indeed poisoned. Not to mention that the victim must be the father and son of the Wen family, I didn't expect that they were so despicable. Why didn't Changfeng leave any secret hatred in his heart? It would be too threatening them to hand over the antidote!
Guo Huai also looked up and looked at it, with a more worried face, and said, "Lord, the princess seems to be poisoned by the ruthless needle."
Changfeng was immediately delighted. It was easy to know what poison he had been infected with, and said, "Is there a way to rescue him?"
Guo Huai sighed and said, "The needle of the merciless mother-in-law was created by a strange man and the merciless mother-in-law a hundred years ago. Only the pigtail of the colorful love flowers can relieve this poison in the world."
"Then where are there such colorful love flowers?" Changfeng asked anxiously.
"The colorful love flowers, the flowers bloom in seven colors, each color is different. It is one of the strange flowers in the world. It is not only fragrant, but also has an aphrodisiac effect. In addition to the petals coming out to relieve the poison of the vengeful needle, the pills made also have the effect of inhibiting aging. Moreover, these colorful love flowers require the cultivation of seven-color mud and are extremely difficult to cultivate. In the world, only royal families or wealthy families will have such strange flowers, but there are no more than ten." Guo Huai explained slowly.
Changfeng was not interested in listening to these things, and said impatiently: "Just know these, just tell Changfeng which one has them."
"Palace!" Guo Huai said.
After Shui Ning's careful search, he found a small red dot on Duan Caiyan's arm, and used iron-sucking stone to suck out a three-minute long ox-haired fine needle. After careful inspection by Guo Huai, it was confirmed that this needle was the ruthless mother-in-law's ruthless needle, but why the ruthless needle fell into the hands of the father and son of the Wen family? This needs to be further verified.
