The 68th Palm Night Banquet
(Second update! Collect and click and so on, and hand them all over! Er, the tone is really not tough, is it?)
After a greeting, Xue Heng understood the story, and couldn't help but be more grateful to Zhang Yan and others for their help. He invited several people to the main hall, had a brief chat, and hurriedly left with Xue Huaibei, who was seriously injured, to heal his wounds.
Of course, before leaving, Xueheng had arranged a place to stay for them and told them to wash the wind and dust in the evening. Zhang Yan and others must all be present to show their gratitude.
On the way to the accommodation, Ma Chong teased Xuelou and said, "Look at the conditions, it's obviously more than a hundred times better than you are in Qingyuan Village. This is what your father left for you. You are blessed."
Xuelou curled his lips and said, "I don't care about it. How can I let glory and wealth bind my hands and feet? Brother Ma, you are too tacky.
Ma Chong laughed and said, "Am I tacky? Look at this Qionglou Yuyu, isn't it okay for you to practice swordsmanship here? You don't have to think so much about it at all. Sword formulas, sword weapons and famous teachers are used, and there are still people to serve you. You really don't want to?
Xue Lou didn't think about it. He shook his head and resolutely said, "I don't want to."
"Why?"
"I want to repair the sword, and I want to follow Elder Zhang to repair the sword."
"Is it that simple?"
"Hmm!"
Ma Chong originally joked, but later turned into a test of Xuelou. Seeing Xuelou's answer sonorous and decisive, he was overjoyed and only said two words: "That's right."
Zhang Yan was aside and saw this scene. He couldn't help shaking his head, and Ma Chong made a fuss. However, this is all for himself, and Zhang Yan is not easy to blame.
In Ma Chong's eyes, Zhang Yan is an adult who has been followed all his life, and Xue's sister and brother are talented. Ma Chong has regarded the two of them as his own team. He teaches sword tips without hiding anything. Now the two have made rapid progress, and naturally they don't want them to stay like this. Although this is the home of Xue's sister and brother, is it not allowed for him to be a little selfish? What's more, Xue's sister and brother don't seem to care about the big foundation left by their father...
The accommodation arranged by Xue Heng for them was a quiet and elegant courtyard. After a short rest, the four of Zhang Yan were taken to a hall by a Xue clan that was enough to accommodate more than 100 people.
The hall is magnificent, and a long square table is placed in it. The next to it is full of people, but there are four empty seats at the top, which are specially prepared by Xue Heng for Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan and the four people couldn't refuse, but they sat down generously.
The banquet was a banquet to wash away the dust. Zhang Yan and the four of them saved Xue Huaibei, the young master of the Xue family and disintegrated the disaster of the Xue family. Xue Heng served the best wine and dishes, and invited the oldest generation of the clan.
As soon as Zhang Yanfu sat down, he noticed a trace of abnormality. The people around him seemed to talk softly, but their eyes fell on the four of them. If so, Zhang Yan could accept it with peace of mind, but when there was a trace of suspicion and speculativeness in these eyes, it was extremely unpleasant.
Zhang Yan sighed in his heart and regretted attending tonight's banquet, but he didn't care much about the thoughts of those people. He looked calm and tasted the delicious food on the table slowly. When Xue Heng asked questions, he answered smoothly and lukewarmly. Zhang Yan smiled and ignored some tentative questions.
Zhang Yan's attitude can't be said to be bad. Xue Heng, as the head of the family, still has the temperament he should have. However, it is quite regrettable that he did not figure out the identity of Zhang Yan and others.
Xue Huaibei was seriously injured and ran all the way. He did not attend the banquet. He did not seem to tell Xue Heng the identity of Xue's sister and brother, which caused Xue Heng not to have too much entertainment and conversation with the two shallow sisters and brothers.
Ma Chong looked at it and was secretly happy. He couldn't wait for Xue Heng to treat Xue's sister and brother a little better and completely eliminate Xue's sister and brother's only little identity with this family.
Ma Chong's idea is a little extreme, and Xue Heng will not do so. However, some people really pointed the finger at the two sisters as Ma Chong wanted.
This is a fair-faced middle-aged man. He asked with a smile, "If Zhang Yan and Ma Chong brothers saved my young master, I still believe it, but this girl only builds a foundation period, and this little brother can only open up a great perfection. I really want to know that they can play in the face of more than 30 highly cultivated enemies. What role is it? Are these enemies blocked by Brother Zhang Yan and Brother Ma Chong? If so, the faces of Lian and Qiu will be lost, haha..."
He paused and then said, "Of course, I don't doubt their ability. Since they can sit at the top, they must have a means. Can you let me listen to it?"
Ma Chong and Xue's sister and brother were obviously stunned when they heard the words, and then their faces became gloomy. This man said it well and obviously doubted the ability of Xue's sister and brother. He even pointed out implicitly that he did not believe that Zhang Yan and Ma Chong alone could stop the attack of more than 30 Lian and Qiu.
Ma Chong was about to refute. Zhang Yan waved his hand to stop him and said lightly, "Anyway, Xue Huaibei finally came back alive. That's good. If you have any doubts, of course you can ask your young master.
The man pretended to laugh, then sighed, drank a glass of wine, and sighed again, but said nothing.
The people around him asked, "Why is it just sighing?"
The middle-aged man said slowly, "Now that my Xue family has a great career, many people with ulterior motives are thinking about it. They want to eat a piece of meat on my Xue family by playing some tricks. Alas, these people."
This was said naked and undisguised, and anyone could hear the sarcasm, but no one in the dozens of powerful people in the Xue family did not open their mouth to stop it.
As the patriarch, Xue Heng's reaction seemed to have become a little slow. After Zhang Yan gently put down the chopsticks in his hand, he scolded the middle-aged man with a serious face.
"Xuefeng, you..."
Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Zhang Yan, who stood up.
At this time, Zhang Yan looked flat, and his clear and deep eyes were already cold. He didn't expect that he and others would save Xue Huaibei. When he sat in the first place, someone jumped out to sarcastically, and he was even more disappointed with Xue Heng's attitude.
"Let's go."
Zhang Yan gently spit out two words and walked out of the hall. He was afraid that he could not control himself to take action. After all, this place was founded by Xue Lengshan. After all, it was a family in the name of Xue's sister and brother...
Ma Chong had already been extremely angry. Hearing the words, he snorted coldly and also got up and followed Zhang Yan out.
There is no hesitation between Xue's sister and brother. When the spearhead pointed directly at the two of them, they have completely erased their little fantasies about this family, and they walked neatly without any mud and water.
Walking to the door of the hall, Xue Heng came after himself and said guiltily, "It's the old man who is under countless and the discipline is not strict. Please don't be angry."
Zhang Yan stopped and looked indifferent, "I dare not, I'm arrogant." With that, he raised his feet and stepped into the moonlit night.
"Zhang Daoyou, it's getting late. Where are you going?" Xueheng's voice was retained.
At this time, Zhang Yan and the four of them had walked to the courtyard. Zhang Yan was about to speak, but a string of silver bell-like laughter came from the night, "Of course, go to my house."
It's Xia Xiwei!
Zhang Yan and the four were stunned, and then saw a clear shadow suddenly appear on the high wall in the distance, standing under the bright full moon. The little girl sat on Qingying's shoulder, while the dragon cub sat on the little girl's shoulder.
"Let's go."
The clear shadow glanced at Zhang Yan, opened his mouth coldly, and then disappeared into the moonlight, as if it had never appeared at all.
From afar, the little girl's voice came loomily: "Come on, haha..."
Zhang Yan and the four of them left.
Xia Heng stood at the door of the hall a little distracted, looking at the high wall under the moonlight, and said bitterly, "Is it... Lord Qingyi?"
