Chapter 200: The Duck Banquet
Chillduck stands outside the door to greet guests.
Yes, personally greet guests, not the housekeeper's subordinates, it depends on his identity, if he is a child of a big clan, if the realm is higher, unfortunately, he is just an ordinary foundation building inner sword, relying on long-sleeved good dancing, this is a monk's world after all.
Seeing Li Ji in a group of people in the deacon room in Xuanyuan City, he was a little incredulous, and then strode up to meet him.
"Brother Jackdaw, why are you here? If I had known that you would have come, I would have invited you early in the morning, and I thought that a monk of your calibre would not look down on such a banquet. ”
Li Ji said with a smile: "I'm catching up with Senior Brother Huang, and I heard that Senior Brother has delicious food here, so I came uninvited, not abrupt, right?" ”
"Why, please can't come." Han Duck led everyone into the hall, arranged the most distinguished seats, fragrant tea, and sent fruit to the water before the meal.
This mansion of Hanya is really not small, that is, in the west of the city where the rich are gathered, it is also a mid-range stream, which shows that it has been operating for more than ten years and has saved a lot of money.
When people with status hold a banquet, of course, more than a dozen people will not gather around a table like a restaurant, but each person will have a jade case, and the banquet is also a separate meal system.
Before the people arrived, Han Ya went to greet the guests, and Li Ji chatted with the zodiac people while secretly looking at the layout of the entire hall.
This is a circular hall, dozens of cases are also arranged in a ring, and the middle space is huge, which is obviously reserved for Mei Ji's singing and dancing; The whole arrangement is not too extravagant, but the Han Duck is obviously attentive, the color matching is appropriate, simple and atmospheric, and it is very good to see.
The guests arrived quickly, in addition to the deacon's room, there were also the children of the big clan, the powerful sons, the businessmen, and all kinds of characters, all of whom were mixed in Xuanyuan City, which shows Han Ya's communication ability over the years.
Li Ji came here, one is for the face of the zodiac, the other is for the food, the others don't care, and they don't have the heart to make friends with people.
After Han Duck's brief speech, the banquet officially began, and a group of dancing girls poured in to cheer everyone up; I have to say that Han Ya is really a very discerning person, and he never mentions Li Ji's name, he knows that Li Ji is not good at this, and he is very satisfied to be able to come here to cheer.
After the dishes were served, Li Ji quickly focused on the food, eating is eating, he didn't think it had anything to do with demeanor, he didn't think that as a distinguished guest, he should be like it, and he didn't care about other people's opinions.
In a way, monks are really a very bitter group, obviously with keen taste buds, indestructible teeth, and a general stomach pouch, which are all standard for foodies, but most of the time they can only rely on Bigu Dan to satisfy their hunger?
Fortunately, he was not the only one who ate and drank, and the monks had a good appetite and amazing combat effectiveness; After taking a sip of wine and eating meat, there was only one reason: there was a problem with the cultivation.
This is a real world, Li Ji sighed while eating, he thought that he would arouse the contempt of some people because of his appearance, so that there would be a plot of slapping his face, but now it seems that he is thinking too much.
He was wrong again.
Across the seats of Li Ji, there were three middle-aged people in Taoist costumes, they did not belong to Xuanyuan City, they were disciples of the Dingjun Peak of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect, and they were brought to the banquet by friends for accidental reasons, but they didn't expect to see people who disgusted them in the banquet.
"Is that him?" Túrin asked the junior beside him suspiciously.
"It's him, I saw him at Sunset Peak when I came back from the Nine Palaces, Jackdaw, that's right." Tu Yuan replied.
"Hehe, Xuanyuan Shuangjiao, so majestic, I don't know if it doesn't live up to its name?" The other person sneered.
The three of them, Tu Lin is in the heartbeat period, Tu Yuan and Tu Yue are all in the fusion realm, and they are all excellent disciples of the outer sword under the Dingjun Peak, among them, Tu Lin is not eligible to participate in the Nine Palaces Trial when he exceeds the realm, and Tu Yuan Tu Yue missed the Nine Palaces because he chose the big competition of the sect.
Many disciples of the Outer Sword First Line have opinions about Li Ji and Wu Xixing.
This is not only the distinction between the inner and outer swords, but also many other factors in it, for example, none of the seventy-one people of the outer sword of the Nine Palaces did not come back this time, which made the outer sword pulse very injured;
The inner sword below Jin Dan already has Xuanyuan Sanjie, and now Xuanyuan Shuangjiao has been added, and there is no outer sword, which is very embarrassing;
The sword faction hyped up the achievements of Li Ji and Wu Xixing, but did not mention much about the sword cultivators who died in battle, which was a little unacceptable to the outer sword lineage who had died seventy-one people, and they felt that their efforts were not respected enough, obviously, Xuanyuan's biased propaganda was causing trouble.
"The blood of seventy-one of my fellow disciples in the outer sword vein has achieved his reputation." Tu Yuan gritted his teeth and said, Dingjun Peak's Nine Palace Trial was the peak with the greatest loss, and there were thirty-one people who made the peak master Fang Zhenzhen feel painful, many of them were old brothers who Tu Yuan had been with for decades.
"I can't say that, the Inner Sword Pulse has also lost twenty-one." Tu Lin's words seemed to be persuasion, but in fact it was more like adding fuel to the fire, he couldn't get used to Li Ji for another reason, Tu Hai, who had a bad relationship with Li Ji, had always been very close to him.
"Persevering until the end doesn't necessarily have superhuman strength, it's just shit luck, who can say how many enemies you killed? One of these two people said that they had killed thirty-eight, and the other said that they had killed thirty-seven, relying on the fact that there was no evidence to open the river, which was really disgusting. ”
Tu Yue's statement is still very marketable in the outer sword lineage, maybe the real hero is in the outer sword lineage? It's just that I was unlucky and didn't make it to the end. also blames Li Ji and Wu Xixing for not leaving shadow stones as evidence after killing people, Li Ji wants to keep a low profile, while Wu Xixing is proud and doesn't care.
"What do you mean?" Túrin asked hypocritically.
"Little brother's meaning, there will be a sword play after the banquet, and the three of us can do this...... embarrass him in front of everyone, and also relieve our anger a little. "The sooner the plan is decided, unless the disciples of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect apply for a life-and-death fight, there can be no fierce conflict outside, if there are deaths and injuries, it is a capital crime, and there is no such thing as accommodation.
But the sword play is different, just like the literati have to fight poetry when they drink beauty, and the martial artists have to wrestle when they drink well, and the monks, especially the sword cultivators, must have sword plays when they are happy.
The so-called sword play is not directly aimed at the opposing monks, and there is no fixed way, but the speed, precision, long-range, manipulation, strength, etc., which can probably represent part of the strength of the sword cultivation; Of course, the real good players are disdainful, and there are too many factors that determine the outcome of the battle, and these few items can not be represented.
"Okay, that's it, Senior Brother Tu Yuan is good at winding the silk sword, so he compares and manipulates with him, Senior Brother Tu Yue is talented and has superhuman speed, so he competes with him in sword speed; Although I have been the beginner for the longest time, I don't have any special skills, so let's compete with him. ”
He is not stupid, he knows that Li Ji can persist to the end, even if he is not as powerful as he boasts, but I am afraid that he is not weak, so he takes advantage of his strengths, and must make this person who deceives the world and steals his name disgraced.
"That's very good, senior brother arranged it properly." Tu Yuantu stroked his palm and smiled.
