The ninth day of the fifth month, the hour of Xu.
The carriage that Murong Ji was riding was heading towards the "Elegant Seat of West Lake".
Although this young master Murong was not very wise, he was not stupid either. He naturally considered the possibility that Sun Yixie would ambush him halfway or get off the bus. So tonight, he not only arranged for Liu Ming to drive for him personally, but also called twenty capable subordinates to follow the carriage and escort them all the way.
Everyone, don’t underestimate these twenty people. They are not ordinary servants or thugs, but a group of "elite thugs" specially cultivated by the Murong family for "expedition" and "expanding business". Each of them has learned a few skills of the Murong family's superficial skills.
Of course, it only stops at the basic skill; the Murong family will not train these people too strong, so as not to stop them after learning to a certain extent and go on a stubborn journey.
At the beginning of the "Xu" hour, Liu Ming held the horse about a foot in front of the gate of the West Lake Yashimen. After the carriage stopped, he turned around and rushed into the carriage and said, "Young Master, we are here."
After saying that, Murong Ji reached out and picked up the curtain in front of the car, and looked out the outside of the car.
Under the faint moonlight, he saw that the restaurant in front of him was still in a mess, like ruins, forming a sharp contrast with the beautiful scenery on the banks of the West Lake next to him...
Obviously, since it was smashed by Murong Ji and others on the first day of May, the West Lake Elegant Seal has not been open for business until today. Even the sign that was taken off and trampled was still quietly landing on the open space next to the door.
"Hmph... I don't clean up beforehand when I invite someone to dinner." Murong Ji looked at his "masterpiece", and while he was proud, he also muttered in a sarcastic tone.
When he said this, he had moved his fat body and jumped out of the carriage.
When he got outside the car and looked up, he found that the restaurant in front of him was black except for the lights on the highest floor, from one to the third floor.
"Young Master, this is so dark and I'm afraid it's a fraud." At this time, Liu Ming had already gotten out of the car and stood behind Murong Ji's side, reminding him.
"What are you afraid of?" Murong Ji replied confidently, "We have a lot of people, and Mr. Liu, you are in charge. Besides... I am not a vegetarian. Just because he, a young hero, will win the fourth place, how can he do us?"
You will understand as soon as you say this, Mr. Murong came here after doing his homework.
Although "East Harmony and Western Poison" has a great reputation in the world, most legends revolve around what they did, as well as their strategies, connections and means...
As for martial arts, no one has ever yelled at them.
Because they did not show any skillful martial arts on major occasions...
During the Young Heroes' Meeting, although Sun Yixie took a military force, his maximum force was almost exposed when he lost to a woman. Huang Donglai did not even give up his hand and made a one-round tour.
When Shen Youran was indifferent, no one saw what they did; fortunately no one saw it, because if they were really seen... others would not increase their evaluation of their martial arts, but would only reduce their views on them.
I won’t talk about helping the Jinyiwei remove the remnants of the shadows, and it was not a matter of martial arts.
Huang Donglai showed off his skills at the Seven Heroes Club. The problem was that he was using the identity of "Xudong Old Immortal", and only a few people knew that it was him.
Later on, when "swords and swords suppress the demons", although Shuangxie cooperated with the method of "Five Lightning Whip", this is no longer the scope of people in the world of cognition. This is obviously a "fairy art", so most people still think that the "four swords and three swords" that weakened Xiao Zhun before was the main force of the battle. Sun and Huang just used the side-by-side to pick up the heads.
The last time the two were in the center of a major event was to pacify the leader election of Green Forest Road in Guangzhou. The only single challenge they left was that Brother Sun beaten a big shot by the river with a rogue means... Huang Donglai and the others joined forces to attack, and the opponent they beat were just like that.
After I review this, you all should understand that in fact, Shuangxiu has never defeated any tycoon or famous master in a fair and single-handed manner in public.
The achievements and legends they left behind were basically "executed justice" using various martial arts, evil or insidious means...
Under this premise, after some analysis, Murong Ji felt that he was not a shame for Sun Yixiu.
According to what he thought: If I meet the "Western Poison" Huang Donglai here today, I may still be concerned about the weight of the "Three Great Yellow Sects", but you, Sun Yixie... are not from a martial arts family, and lost to women on the ring two years ago. How strong can you be in martial arts today? Murong Ji, a young man in a famous martial arts family, is a few years older than you. He has been practicing hard since childhood and can be able to fight. Could it be that I am afraid that you are a blind person who has made a fortune in the fish market and cannot even write invitations well?
Murong Ji's idea does make some sense.
However, he could not count... Sun Yixie is a time traveler, and he had an adventure on the Erxian Island not long ago.
In addition, Murong Ji relied on the rise of his family in recent years and had a smooth journey in the process of traveling around the world and attacking everything... He had never met someone he couldn't handle, so he became a little swelling.
In such a situation where the opponent is underestimated and overestimated, it is natural that Murong Ji dared to come to this "Hongmen Banquet" tonight.
"Young Master, look." Not long after the two got out of the car, the sharp-eyed Liu Ming saw a faint light source appear in the restaurant.
Soon, I saw a man, about twenty years old, four eyebrows, loose clothes, carrying a lantern, slowly walking down the stairs in the restaurant, and then passing through the lobby and coming outside the gate.
"Hahaha..." Sun Yixie saw more than 20 people standing outside, and he was alone, but he was not at all panic. He smiled and walked to the two people next to the carriage, clamped the lantern pole in his hand under his armpit, then clasped his fists and rushed to the younger one and said, "Do you dare to ask if this brother is Mr. Murong?"
Although there were no photos or anything like that day, because Murong Ji's physical characteristics were easier to recognize, Sun Yixie just listened to other people's descriptions in advance, and then used his eyes to scan it, and easily identified Murong Ji from the crowd.
"That's right." Murong Ji replied to these two words, his tone was disdainful and arrogant, obviously he looked like he was about to quarrel. After replying, he immediately asked, "Are you Sun Yixie?"
Murong Ji also met Sun Yixie for the first time, but his ears were already filled with his eyes on the other party's image, so he had this question.
"That's right, it's just a little bit." Sun Yixie still smiled, as if the other party's impolite attitude did not displeased him at all. "Sun heard about Mr. Murong's Daming for a long time. When he saw him today, he was indeed a man of a phoenix and a majestic weapon... Fortunately, he met him."
"Huh?" Murong Ji was stunned when he heard this second sentence.
He was muttering in his heart: No, I smashed his restaurant, made his fish market, and broke so many business deals in their Sun family... He asked me out to come out and asked me to be punished, but why is he so polite to me now? I didn't give him any good looks?
"Uh...ah, good luck, good luck..." It was over here, and Murong Ji had to answer again, so after hesitating for two seconds, he chose to go back politely.
This is the so-called "it's hard to hit a smiley person". People greet you very much and say good things to praise you. You can't reply to him, "You are the ones among the people, and your whole family is the ones among the people."
"Brother Murong, it's very windy outside. Why don't we go upstairs first and sit down before chatting?" Sun Yixie said, then turned sideways and made a gesture of leading the way.
Upon hearing this, Murong Ji exchanged glances with Liu Ming, and then replied in a deep voice: "Okay, Brother Sun."
"Please." Sun Yixie responded, then walked to the front with a lantern, and began to lead Murong Ji, Liu Ming, and the twenty elite thugs upstairs.
Although we mentioned the layout of the West Lake elegant seat in the previous book, you have probably forgotten it, so I will mention it a little more... That is to say, the two floors of the restaurant are for ordinary guests' halls, and the two floors above are all private rooms.
When Murong Ji brought his men to smash the shop on the first day of the New Year, he did not go to the third and fourth floors because he knew very well that the people sitting in the private room upstairs that day were all local well-known figures. He could smash the shop downstairs and make a strong sense, so he went up to have a head-on conflict with them... There was no need. After all, if he wanted to drive the "Huanyi Pavilion" to Hangzhou in the future, he would also need the support and support of these high-ranking officials and nobles upstairs. It would be bad if he made a grudge.
Because of this, Sun Yixie is currently taking Murong Ji and others to the fourth floor, which is still intact and can receive guests normally.
Gu Jun/span>　　"Brother Murong, please come here." Soon, Sun Yixie led everyone to the door of the private room called "Da Vinci Code", and then stopped.
At this moment, Murong Ji looked inside through the open door of the room and found that there were two people standing in the room.
One is Xue Tui, who is still wrapped in a bandage on his head.
The other is Tang Weizhi, who has not healed his face.
"Hmph... So that's it, I'm waiting for me here." Murong Ji felt a little more at ease when he saw these two people.
Why do you say so?
Because when we came along the way, Murong Ji always felt that Sun Yixie's attitude towards him was really good, either a traitor or a thief, so he was always wary of someone rushing out to plot against him in the dark of the stairs and corridors.
Liu Ming, who was following Murong Ji, had similar ideas.
However, the two of them were wary for a long time, their nerves continued to tense, but they did not wait for any danger at all, which made them even more uneasy...
Fortunately, they saw Xue Tang, the two victims of the store smashing incident, and now they "get it". It turned out that the boy named Sun did not intend to start a war with us. He just wanted to talk to us about the conditions from the previous few days, and then let the two servants who were injured by us cry and miserably on the spot, so as to extort more benefits.
Mr. Murong and Liu Ming, who often go out for negotiations in the world, are very familiar with this routine, so they instantly made a judgment and felt that Sun Yixie was the same way.
"I thought it was a 'Hongmen Banquet', but it turned out to be 'Hetou Wine'..." When I stepped into the house, Murong Ji was already smiling in his heart, "Ha... well, at least I am a wise man, and I know that it is not good to fight our Murong family... Well, I also think that you are a smart person and give you some slight side. As long as you are in this Hangzhou area in the future, you don't block the wealth of our Murong family. I can also pay you a little money for those things that happened a few days ago."
Before he could sit down, Murong Ji had already thought about the bottom line of his negotiations today in his heart.
With confidence, he even glanced at Liu Ming, as if he wanted to show off with his eyes that he had seen through everything.
"Well... Brother Murong, these places outside..." Sun Yixie saw that only Liu Ming followed Murong Ji into the house, and the others were standing in the corridor outside the door, so he asked tentatively.
"Ah?" It was only then that Murong Ji realized a problem and realized that this situation was a bit embarrassing tonight.
Sun Yixi invited him to dinner and treated him with courtesy everywhere, and there was no sign of harm. However, he followed him all the way to the door of the private room with more than 20 bodyguards. At this moment, the corridor was full, making it difficult for the shop's shop to move around...
In the eyes of others, Murong Ji's performance is that he judges a gentleman with a villain's heart and is also very afraid of death.
"It's not that I don't give Brother Murong face. I really didn't expect you to bring so many seats. Tonight, I only prepared a table of ingredients in the kitchen. I'm afraid it's not enough to entertain so many brothers..." Just as Murong Ji was stunned, Sun Yixie added this sentence.
What he said sounded like a polite and honest word, but it fell into Murong Ji's ears, which made the latter feel embarrassed.
"Why are you still standing stupidly? Who asked you to follow me?" Murong Ji, who was eager to save face, quickly turned his head and shouted to the men at the door, "I'll have a meal with Brother Sun. Do you protect me like this? Let's go! Let's go downstairs and wait, blocking people from serving food!"
After saying this paragraph loudly, Murong Ji glanced at Sun Yixie with his own eyes, as if he wanted to see if the other party believed it.
"Brother Murong...uh...and this big brother, come on, let's sit down and talk first." Sun Yixie looked as if nothing had happened. While raising his hand to signal Murong Ji and Liu Ming to take the seat, he had personally picked up the teapot on the table and poured tea for the two of them, "Drink a cup of tea and calm down, don't be as knowledgeable as the servants."
Just as Brother Sun said these words, the elite thugs brought by Murong Ji had already gone downstairs in shame following the young master's order.
When Murong Ji took the teacup handed over by Sun Yixie, he was still chanting: "Bo... These food buckets are really not allowed to teach you a lesson. Brother Sun, you don't tell me, I didn't notice that they followed me."
Liu Ming was watching the young master’s operation without silver here, and he was amused and sweated.
"By the way, I haven't asked this person yet..." Fortunately, Sun Yixie immediately changed the subject and turned his attention to Liu Ming.
"Oh, this is our Murong family's general, Mr. Liu Ming and Liu." Murong Ji introduced.
"Liu Ming, I have met Young Master Sun." Liu Ming, who had already sat down, stood up again and clasped his fists to Sun Yixi and said.
"Hey~ Sir, please be polite, sit down quickly." Although Sun Yixie did not get up, he also clasped his fists and gave a greeting again, and made another "please" gesture.
After Liu Mingfu sat down again, Sun Yixie shouted to the outsider's house and said, "Here's someone coming."
"Young Master, what are you asking?" The shop clerk who was on standby in the corridor almost came in to answer the conversation before Brother Sun finished speaking.
"Tell me to Master Yuan and the others, prepare to serve the dishes, and bring the warm wine at the same time." Sun Yixie ordered.
"Okay." The guy said no and turned around and left.
Sun Yixie also took advantage of this moment and slowly swept his eyes over Murong Ji and Liu Ming's faces, then raised his hand and signaled to the two people standing behind him: "Brother Murong, Mr. Liu, let me introduce you. The two people behind me... are Mr. Xue, the shopkeeper of our West Lake Elegant Hall, and Brother Tang, who is in charge of watching the scene."
"Ah..." Murong Ji just looked up and said casually.
There was no problem with his reaction, because according to the etiquette at that time, Murong Ji was a distinguished guest invited by the host Sun Yixie. He really didn't need to say hello to the "subordinates" under the other party. After someone introduced him, he only needed to inform him and show that he knew.
"Two, I offended a few days ago, so we can't meet each other anymore." Liu Ming looked at the two of them and gave a speech on the scene.
This is not an apology, and I can't hear any apology in my tone.
Liu Ming was just as a "subordinate" and was neither humble nor arrogant to make a gesture of reconciliation for their young master.
As for Xue Tui and Tang Weizhi, after hearing this, they did not say anything. The two of them stood silently behind Sun Yixie, not knowing what they meant.
"Hey~Mr. Liu, don't be so polite to them." Sun Yixie said at this time, "I called these two people here today to ask them to apologize to you."
"What?" Murong Ji was puzzled when he heard this. He thought to himself, "This kid arranged these two people to stand here tonight. Not only did he not want to provoke a criminal, but he also wanted to apologize to us? Isn't this... too cheap?"
Before Murong Ji could figure it out, Sun Yixie turned around and said to Xue Tang and the others in a reprimanding tone: "You guys, did you not treat Brother Murong and the others well that day, which caused a conflict?"
"Young Master said yes, that's it..." Xue Tui looked very delicate when he replied, and he seemed to be about to cry because he was about to feel wronged, but there was a little bit... it seemed like he was holding back his laughter.
"I have nothing to say, I accept the punishment." Tang Weizhi said, lowering his head deeply, as if he didn't want others to see his expression.
