Chapter 1 Receiving Envoys
Ah Shui was more than 1,000 zhang in the air, and after Yang Chunfeng was killed by force, the whole person was like an eagle, swooping down in an instant, and then scooped up Xu Yan in the glacier and took him away to the shore.
Ah Shui avoided Chen Qinghe and the others from beginning to end, he looked at Xu Yan, who was wet, untied the wine gourd hanging from his waist, handed it to the latter and said: "My task is complete, there is about half a pot of wine left in this gourd, I will give it to you together, remember to save some drink, as for the next journey to Yong'an City, you should not be in danger anymore, no matter how bold those people are, they will never dare to intercept and kill you in front of the envoy, unless they dare to go against the Son of Heaven." ”
After Xu Yan was fished out, his face was as pale as the snow around him, but he took the other party's wine gourd without the slightest hypocrisy and thanked him.
Seeing that he took the wine gourd, Ah Shui didn't plan to stay here any longer, and turned around and wanted to go back to the place where he should go back, but before leaving, Xu Yan still asked, "I don't know Ah Shui's real name...... What's it called?"
When Ah Shui heard the inquiry, he didn't turn around or turn back, but just left a sentence and said: "Since your master hasn't told you my information, then you can only wait for you to go that far, and at that time, you will naturally know what my name is." ”
Hearing Ah Shui say this, Xu Yan didn't ask anything more, just said softly in the direction of Ah Shui's flash, "Thank you!"
......
After saying goodbye to Ah Shui, Xu Yan immediately changed his clothes that were wet by the river, and then began to walk in the direction of Chen Qinghe and the others, but when he returned to the junction, he found that almost everyone was looking for him in the river at this moment.
When Xu Yan saw this scene, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
Bai Bing was the first to notice that he walked back from the side, and then Chen Qinghe and the others saw that her face was different, so they followed her line of sight and saw Xu Yan in the distance.
Chen Qinghe waited until Xu Yan walked in, and asked curiously, "Little junior brother, why did you come back from there? We thought that you were still in the position you had sunk in before." ”
Xu Yan naturally couldn't tell Ah Shui about it, so he opened his mouth and replied: "Oh, it's that the sword qi that suddenly appeared just now is too strong, and with my current cultivation, I will definitely not be able to parry, so I can only dive out along the river to avoid that sword, so I came back from that side." ”
Everyone present did not doubt Xu Yan's current statement, although they all knew that behind this little junior brother, there must be someone in the master to help.
Chen Qinghe replied with a smile: "So that's the case." He paused for a moment, and then continued: "As long as the people come back safely, but since the crisis has been removed, then let's hurry up, as long as we can meet them with the lead, and then there will be no villains who dare to attack us again." ”
After hearing this, everyone present nodded without objection.
......
In a post house in Zhongzhou.
When Xu Yan and the others approached the night, they finally succeeded in meeting with the envoy from the palace, and then they began to enjoy this somewhat dusty Chinese New Year's Eve meal in this humble post station.
It may be that I knew in advance that someone would come to the palace, so the post house
The variety of food in the house is quite rich, but because the chefs in this inn seem to have limited skills, there are many excellent ingredients, and in the end they are not cooked very delicious.
However, on such a cold night, for Xu Yan and the others, having a hot meal is already quite a luxury, after all, it is better than them nibbling hard dry food in the ice and snow.
Xu Yan and his entourage had a total of ten people, and the quadrangular table in the post house was divided into three tables according to four tables for one person. Chen Qinghe, Gu Xueqing and the two Gu sisters are at the same table, Zeng Yuesong and Liu Jieliang are at the same table, and Xu Yan is at the same table with Bai Bing.
This was chosen by Xu Yan on his own initiative, otherwise with the temper of these people from the Lotus Sect, they would never have too much intersection with Bai Bing, but although they hated Bai Bing, they did not feel any dissatisfaction with Xu Yan taking care of the latter along the way, which made Xu Yan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
In the middle of the dinner, all the people who were the subordinates of the prince and the prince went to toast the eunuch, and at the same time, they naturally had to say a large number of new book greetings to the red man in the palace, which was actually a slap in the horse.
After Xu Yan heard a few words, he couldn't help but feel speechless in his heart, but the eunuch seemed to be extremely useful, with a smile on his face.
Time passed quickly, in the blink of an eye, it was approaching, and the dinner party was also coming to an end, as the envoy, the prince waited until all his subordinates went to him to flatter him, he raised the wine glass in his hand, and then said to Xu Yan and the others: " All the heroes are selected by the sect of the future pillars, and from the hundred mountain ancestors all the way to Zhongzhou, through several months of hard work, our family is very admired, it happens that today is a happy New Year, our family is here to toast you a cup, I hope you can achieve good results in the grand event in February after the year, and then share the worries for Your Majesty, and contribute to the white surnames of the five states. ”
When Chen Qinghe and the others heard Wang Gonggong say this, they all raised their wine glasses at the moment, hurriedly thanked them, and humbly said that they should work hard and so on.
Xu Yan also raised the wine glass in his hand, but he didn't say anything, after all, he did this just to cater and not make himself look too special.
The prince not far away drank the last glass of rice wine in his cup before he continued: "Although today is Chinese New Year's Eve, because we are still on the way, this New Year is indeed a little hasty and shabby, but don't worry, after you successfully arrive in Yong'an City, our family will arrange wine and food to welcome you, well, it's not early today, everyone should rest early, tomorrow morning, we will leave on time." ”
Xu Yan and the others were undoubtedly a little caught off guard when they heard him suddenly change their words, but they didn't say much, and then they went to their own rooms to start resting. However, because the rooms in the post station were limited, they could only be used for two people, so Bai Bing's existence was quite embarrassing.
But fortunately, in the end, Gu Xueqing took the initiative to propose that she was willing to defend with Bai Bing, which resolved Xu Yan's embarrassment.
......
Chinese New Year's Eve.
Although the weather is very cold in the harsh winter season, the low temperature does not reduce the desire for people to enjoy this most important festival
There are carnivals.
And with the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in every household, gradually served on the table, the sound of fireworks and firecrackers also continued to sound from the city.
If there is one, there are two, and if there are two, there are innumerable.
Then, a quarter of an hour later, fireworks bloomed and shone in the night sky, crocheting an indescribably gorgeous scene.
However, in this New Year, not everyone in every family can enjoy the joy from the New Year, for example, in the Li family, with just a few months, more and more offerings and some affiliated families have escaped their protection, making their names of the four major families in Wangchuan City finally completely become in name only.
The people of the Li family are still living in the original mansion at this time, but there is no doubt that after this year, it will be difficult for them to keep the huge mansion they are currently in, even if no one else comes to occupy it, they will definitely not be able to raise it.
The two brothers and their mother were sitting in the dining room at the moment, and the table was full of delicacies, but it was clear that they did not seem to have the slightest appetite.
Li Ku's mother was the first to speak: "This is probably our last Chinese New Year's Eve dinner here, no matter how much you have no appetite, try to force yourself to eat a little." ”
With that, she took the lead in picking up the porcelain bowl full of rice and chewing it in small bites.
After Li Ku heard this, he was still indifferent, just staring at the food on the table with blank eyes, as if he had lost his soul. And his younger brother Li Zifan didn't move his chopsticks after hearing this, but the latter couldn't help but ask his mother: "Mother, we don't live here, where are we going?"
The woman did not reply, but said softly to her second son, "Don't ask, let's eat first." ”
Li Zifan is a typical family gentleman, when he practiced in Chenyang Sect, he was not the kind of person who was willing to endure hardships, and after he was abolished by Xu Yan and returned to the family, he still did not want to forge ahead, and when he had nothing to do, he went to the Goolan place with his fox friends and dogs in the city to get drunk and drunk. But now, when he heard his mother say this, for some reason, he felt a deep uneasiness, as if the good days he had before were about to pass away.
However, what did not happen is not happened after all, so it is better to wait until the time is up.
The boat is naturally straight to the bridge, this is the innate value that Li Zifan carries, so after he was only troubled for a moment, he began to enjoy the food on the table according to his mother's instructions to him, and feasted on it.
Compared with Li Zifan, who still doesn't know what kind of situation his family will face at this moment, Li Ku obviously can't be the same as him, and even when he sees his younger brother's stubborn and heartless virtue, he can't get angry, but the other party has reached this age, and it is obviously useless to educate him again.
Therefore, Li Ku finally got up from his seat angrily, and then fled from this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, which was destined not to be mixed with the slightest warmth.
"Big brother, what's wrong?"
Li Zifan couldn't help but ask his mother when he saw his brother suddenly have a seizure, but then he saw his mother, but he just cried vigorously, but did not answer his question.
