47. Chapter 47
A few days passed by.
If before that, Cui Buqu and Fengxiao did not have an intuitive understanding of the two major forces in Qiemo City, it was only on this birthday party that they truly allowed them to see the influence of local snake Xingmao in the city.
From the day they received the invitation, the city began to decorate lights and decorate birthday banquets. In just a few days, the city was covered with big red lanterns and ribbons. Even though the city was not big, the expenses were not affordable by a wealthy family.
A great family and a great business may not be enough to describe Xingmao. As a descendant of King Shanshan, when King Shanshan destroyed the country, King Shanshan took more than 4,000 households to Qiemo City to take root, and moved the treasury of the Shanshan country together. After three generations of operations over the years, Xingmao's industries are spread throughout Qiemo City. It is said that there are shops and semicolons in Liugong City, and even in the capitals of the Great Sui Dynasty and the South City.
With money, he naturally needs greater strength to protect his property. It is said that since Xingmao was five years old, he invited his martial arts master to teach his grandson. Unfortunately, Xingmao's qualifications are mediocre and he can only be among the third-rate masters. However, he has many bodyguards in the hospital. Every time he travels, he must be surrounded by others and has a great show.
When Fengxiao and Cui Bukuo came outside the Xingfu Gate, there was already traffic and noisy here. The Xingfu Guards lined up from the door, surrounding the entire Xingfu into iron buckets. The third supervisor they saw last time stood at the door to welcome guests, and there were two guards standing behind them.
Cui Bugu smiled when he saw this: "This show is not worse than the prince and the king of Jin on tour. He is worthy of being far away from the emperor. Although Xingmao has lost the Shanshan Kingdom, he still regards himself as a local overlord."
Feng Xiao touched his chin: "It is said that his subordinates and families are indeed calling him the king in front of him."
Several carriages were parked around, including gorgeous and exquisite shapes. Only these two people walked from the inn and did not follow their followers to protect Xingmao's mother. Most of the people who came to celebrate Xingmao's birthday were well-known people in the city. It is said that there were many people from the world who were intimate with Xingmao. In comparison, Cui and Feng seemed shabby, and even had to carry the gifts for birthday celebrations themselves.
Xingmao invited the grandson of the King of Kucha. If Jin Lian attended the meeting, it would be impossible to pretend to be a maid, and he did not have a very suitable identity. In order to avoid Fo Er attacking her, Cui Bu left Qiao Xian to protect her. But in this way, he and Feng Xiao became more and more simple and poor compared to the maids and guards around him.
Ignoring the strange gazes from front, back, left and right, the thickness of the skin played an important role at this time. They were ranked behind others with serene satisfaction, without any embarrassment at all, but instead took this opportunity to observe others with interest.
Others were gifts from big bags, and in order to show off, some people carried a cow of gold and silver hanging in Yushu, which attracted countless surprises. Cui Buqun carried a box of arms length.
The third supervisor was probably used to seeing all kinds of luxurious and exaggerated precious gifts. When he saw this box that seemed to be a gift from a small shop next to him, he was stunned for a moment.
After looking at the invitation again, he knew who the visitor was. Kucha was rich in iron and wealthy, and it was not a poor country. However, although Cui Buqu and Fengxiao's clothes were not poor, they were still a little far from the gorgeous clothes that the three officials imagined.
He still knew to restrain himself, but the contemptuous look of the servant next to him could no longer stop him.
"Let's wait!" Cui Buqu said unhappy, "Who asked you to take it like this?"
The Xingfu entourage who had just taken the box looked at him inexplicably.
Cui Buqu said arrogantly: "A Feng, open the box and let them see what we are giving."
In front of everyone, Feng Xiao was rarely obedient and obedient. He snatched the attendant of Xingfu, untied the ribbon outside, and took out a short dagger with an ordinary appearance.
"Look at it." Feng Xiao said.
He pulled out the short dagger from the scabbard, and everyone saw the sharp edge of the dagger, as if it was surrounded by ice and snow. Feng Xiao raised his hand and gently slashed it. Before the servant holding the box could feel it, the clothes on his upper body had turned into powder and were instantly naked.
After hearing the woman screamed, the attendant came to his senses. His face was flushed with shame and shame, and he quickly ran back.
Cui Buqun laughed and said proudly: "Hong Kong is used to seeing rare treasures. How can we just give us some gifts? What is that difference between us and the vulgar village man, a cat and a dog?"
Everyone saw the sharpness of the dagger and sighed that the Kucha post was well-known, but they did not dare to underestimate Cui Bu and others.
The third supervisor came to his senses and quickly took the dagger with both hands, carefully handed it to the servant next to him, and said with a smile: "It's his subordinates who are rude and neglected Shang Langjun. I hope there are many adults. For the sake of my master's birthday today, I will not care about it. Your two positions have been arranged. The villain will lead the way now. Please, please!"
Others were guided by their servants, but Cui Bu went to Feng Xiao to have a special encounter, so they were personally introduced to the mansion by the three supervisors.
There is no need to say anything about Xingfu nature. Since there are too many guests to attend the banquet this year, it is impossible to arrange all guests in one living room and one room. Xingfu had to divide the banquet into two parts: inside and outside. There are not many seats in the inner hall and the vision is much wider. The people sitting inside are all distinguished guests of Xingmao, and there are many seats in the outer yard. Compared with the inner hall, it is naturally slightly less important.
Although Cui Wu had the third supervisor who led the way himself, they could not enter the inner hall, and were only at the closest place to the inner hall in the yard.
This may be a good seat. Cui Buqun knows that the seats they were arranged must be even further back at the beginning. It was only after the incident that the third manager made a temporary adjustment.
Looking at the inner hall, in addition to the two host seats on the top, there are four seats on the left and right, with a total of eight distinguished guests, including Duan Qihu.
Cui Buqu showed a very unhappy look and asked, "What? As my identity, can't you have a place in it?"
The third supervisor smiled unchanged, and bent down and said, "My husband, those eight seats are my master's friendship for many years, not by their identity. Among the distinguished guests in this outer courtyard, there are also the leader of the Qionghai Sect, the children of the Wei family in Guanzhong, the young leader of the Xianlin Sect, etc. Their positions are all behind the two!"
Cui Buqun waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, okay, I don't want to worry about you on my 60th birthday!"
The third manager smiled and said, "My husband is indeed a huge number!"
He was busy going to welcome and see him off, and he left first with accusation. Feng Xiao sat down next to Cui Bu, took a grape from the table and threw it into his mouth, and began to look around.
Guests took their seats one after another, and four of the eight seats in the inner hall were already seated. Feng Xiao did not recognize any of them, and then he heard Cui Bu say, "There is one in the inner hall. It looks like Wei or Fang from the Wei family in Guanzhong. I don't recognize anyone else. He should not be a person in the martial arts world."
Feng Xiao said: "Xingmao will definitely place Duan Qihu's seat in his own position to show his importance. We are still a little far away now, so it is really inconvenient to do something."
Cui Buqu: "At that time, please adapt to the situation, but then again, where did you get such a dagger that cuts iron like mud?"
Feng Xiao finished eating a bunch of grapes, poked a piece of honeydew melon with a silver sign and put it into his mouth. He smiled and said, "I have poured my internal strength on it. Not to mention cutting iron like mud, it is not a problem to take it to open a mountain."
Cui Bulu suspiciously: "But when the dagger was pulled out, wasn't there a hint of white air lingering?"
Feng Xiao laughed: "Put this dagger in the snow for three or four days, and then use internal force to stimulate the frost on it, but there is a hint of white air? This thing was bought in the iron shop in the east of the city last time when I came back. Three hundred dollars were given to us to have a delicious meal, and this money is not a loss!"
Cui Buqu was speechless for a moment: "The Jie Jian Mansion is so poor that he can't even take out a decent gift?"
Feng Xiao was confident: "Doesn't it cost to come to the border town to investigate cases? The border town is windy and sandy, so I don't need to nourish my hair and hair oil. How can I maintain my original beauty when my face and hair are so stingy? Your Qiao Xian is so stingy that she buys me some oil. It's like she's her life. Can't I spend money on my own?"
Cui Bu Go:...
If Fengxiao pointed at the orchid, he could still make a few sarcastic words, but when the other party didn't deliberately make trouble, he was completely domineering. Thinking about Fengxiao's golden sword sitting in the room with his legs open, shaving his beard while smearing oil on his head for maintenance, Cui Bulu felt that his face couldn't help but twitch.
Feng Xiao taught him a lesson with sincerity: "Don't think that men don't need to be concealed. If you are as shocking as me, you will be worthy of God's love without caring for me? Although you are far inferior to me, you can be considered handsome for now, but you are sick and aging faster than others. If you don't take care of yourself carefully, you may be in two years-"
He laughed.
Cui Bulu knew that he had nothing good to say, but this time he didn't calm down and replied: "How?"
Feng Xiao: "Then I can really call you dad."
Cui Bugu stared at the fruit plate in front of him for a long time. He was afraid that he would really not be able to hold back and press Feng Xiao's head into the fruit plate to rub.
At this moment, a voice interrupted his dangerous thoughts.
"My Chen Ji, don't know this lady, the man and the husband, the name of Gao?"
Cui Bu goes up his head.
The young man named Chen Ji sat next to Feng Xiao, and these words were obviously said to Feng Xiao, and Cui Buqu was just a coincidence.
"Ji, which Ji?" Feng Xiao lost his smile that he had just been quarreled with Cui Bu. He showed a shy and timid smile. He looked at Chen Ji intentionally or unintentionally, and the phoenix eyes flew, as if he was throwing his eyes.
This expression is of no use to Cui Buqu, but it is obviously of some effect to other men who don’t know his identity.
At least Chen Ji was obviously moved, and his eyes looked at Feng Xiao with a little hot look.
"The rain falls all the time, and the rain passes by the clear sky."
Chen Ji.
Cui Buluo linked his name to the character characteristics and quickly found out the origin of this person in his mind.
The young leader of the Guanzhong Immortal Forest Sect.
The Xianlin Sect is not one of the best sects in the Tiantai Sect of Xuandu Mountain, but it is still a bit famous in the world. Chen Ji is just as good at martial arts and arrogance, a bit like Lin Yong, the second-generation ancestor of Yandang Villa. Perhaps most of the rich children who have been spoiled since childhood and have never experienced any storms are almost the same.
Although his martial arts are not very good, he still has a father who is the head of the Xianlin Sect. Xingjia arranged his seat next to Cui Bugui and others, which is safe.
Looking at the inner hall, the host and the guests were also here.
Duan Qihu and Gao Yi sat in Xingmao's left and right heads. There was an old woman next to Xingmao, who must be today's birthday star.
Cui Buqugang was still trying to get close to Duan Qihu, but now when he saw Chen Ji, he immediately made up his mind.
Feng Xiao seemed to know what he was thinking, looked at him with a smile, and pushed the fruit plate on the table in the direction of Cui Bulu.
Cui Buqu felt the other party's eagerness to watch the fun, and couldn't help rolling his eyes in his heart, picking up the fruit plate and throwing it on the ground.
Crackling!
Not only did the fruit plate fall into pieces, but the fruits and melons and fruits in the plate also rolled to the ground.
It is hard not to notice this movement. The scene was silent for a moment, and even Xingmao and others looked over.
