Chapter 180 Battle of the Night Banquet One
That night, Jiang Lie held a banquet to honor Zhao San and Zhao Liu. Due to the limited space, he only invited some well-known experts to accompany him in the hall. He also set up a few tables of wine and food in the side courtyard and arranged for Zhao San's guards and major forces.
Selected boys.
After receiving Jiang Lie's instructions, Jiang Haoyuan led a total of twelve disciples including Fu Jingtao, Xiong Jun, Jiang Yi, Hu Zhifeng, and Bai Jianshuang to the side courtyard for a banquet, where he greeted young people from all over the world as landlords. They had already
As a reminder, everyone is abstaining from alcohol to avoid making a fool of themselves later.
The disciples and the guests were seated across each other, but they were not familiar with each other, so they couldn't find a suitable topic for a while, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Fu Jingtao is here to make peace with it. He is worried about not being able to crack the family's plan. If he can take this opportunity to get involved with big forces such as Taiyi Palace and Pengkun Island, he may gain miraculous results.
. He immediately took the initiative and offered tea instead of wine to all the guests. With his sharp tongue, he quickly became familiar with the young men from other sects.
In fact, he is only fifteen or sixteen years old, so how can he be so frivolous? Moreover, in terms of reputation in the world, Fu Jingtao is more famous than anyone here. He doesn't put on airs, so who else has the nerve to do it?
Ao Lei from Pengkun Island was the most heroic. He patted Fu Jingtao on the shoulder and said: "Brother Fu, your Xuanyuanmen Mountain is too high and too cold. There is not even a piece of flat land as big as a palm. You should really go to our East China Sea to see what?
It is boundless, with blue waves stretching to the sky! If you jump into the blue water under the sun and swim for two rounds, it will be more comfortable than eating ginseng fruit. You must go to the East China Sea to find me in the future, haha, I am on Pengkun Island
Young girls are the most passionate!" He said, blinking his eyes, showing the ambiguous expression between men.
Fu Jingtao immediately looked at him with a high look, and the boy couldn't help but talk. Could it be that he had eaten meat a long time ago? He smiled half-heartedly and said: "Brother Ao, the girl from the East China Sea is enthusiastic and cheerful, have you already caused 10 or 8 disasters? Do you have any tips?
Can it be taught?”
Ao Lei's face turned red and he said: "I haven't mastered the 'Whale Swallowing the Four Seas Technique' yet, so how dare I do anything wrong? If my master catches me, he will have to break my legs!"
Zhang Zonglao of Taishan Sword Sect laughed and said: "It turns out that your Excellency is Ye Gong and loves dragons. He has a thief's heart but not his courage!"
The neighboring teenagers laughed loudly, and the slight barriers were cleared away.
Seeing Fu Jingtao mingling with young men from other sects, Jiang Yi, Bai Jianshuang and others looked at each other with strange expressions. Doesn't Fu Jingtao not know what he is going to do later? Is he planning to establish a relationship with his opponent? What's the point of doing this?
Fu Jingtao doesn't care what the children of the aristocratic family think. They sit in Lingyun City and watch the sky from a well. They have never seen the dangers of the outside world, let alone the complexity of the human heart. They see problems in black and white. They are naive and ignorant.
However, Ao Lei, Zhang Zonglao and others followed their elders to travel around the world. Their horizons were broadened and their minds were precocious. They had many opinions that resonated with them. Through their eyes and mouths, he could understand the world and this era more comprehensively.
After chatting for about an hour, Jiang Lie's order came from Fang Shanshan.
The young men tidied up a little, lined up in two rows in the side courtyard, walked through the corridor, and entered the main hall.
The main hall was brightly lit, the smell of alcohol was strong, and most of the people had their faces flushed with alcohol. Zhao San and Zhao Liu took the main seats, accompanied by Jiang Lie, Yun Zhonghou, Qi Tiannan and others. A total of eight side tables were placed on both sides.
There was a table full of heroes from the Central Plains.
Jiang Lie stood up and said loudly: "The Song Dynasty was so powerful that it was determined to regain Yanyun. It was the most powerful country in the world! We, Xuanyuan Clan, are so honored to be able to get the attention of the imperial court. It is really a tribute to our ancestors! These two noble people in this seat,
They are the Third Young Master Zhao and the Sixth Young Master Zhao from the Zhao Song royal family. Please pay your respects quickly!"
All the young men's hearts trembled, and they all bowed down: "Greetings to the Third Young Master Zhao! Greetings to the Sixth Young Master Zhao!"
Zhao San laughed and said: "Without courtesy, get up! If you young heroes, the future pillars of the country, can serve the court and gain fame, I, Zhao San, will open the door and welcome you at any time!"
All the young men said in unison: "Thank you, Third Young Master Zhao!"
Zhao San looked to the left and right and said with a smile: "Don't take your jokes seriously during the day! The so-called martial arts competition is just the point. Don't accidentally injure the young heroes and affect my drinking mood."
Jiang Lie, Yun Qingzi, Long Jiu and others said one after another: "Young Master, don't worry, with us on hand to supervise, there will never be any unexpected situation." "Young Master loves and cherishes talents, I am very grateful!" "Young Master, just enjoy your martial arts with peace of mind!
"
Many heroes and knights in the audience finally realized that the junior disciples of these famous sects were going to compete in public!
This is a big drama that is destined to spread throughout the world!
Xuanyuanmen, Taiyi Palace, and Pengkun Island are all famous in the world and dominate the world; Iron Blood Alliance, Taishan Sword Sect, Huashan Sect, Qijue Villa, etc. are famous in the Central Plains Wulin. They all belong to the Baidao sect and will not kill for no reason.
In a game, each other's martial arts were good and bad, and there was no consensus. Tonight in Lingyun City, in front of the Zhao and Song royal family, they actually had to compete with the younger disciples to decide who was better!
Zhao San may not know the stakes, but how could they not?
For people in the world, the first priority is the word "name", followed by the words "profit" and "righteousness".
It is not uncommon for both sides to fight until rivers of blood flow for the sake of mere fame.
Burdened by fame, countless warriors do not dare to retreat easily despite their old age and weak health, and as a result, they often end up dying violently.
The discussion at this banquet may seem ordinary, but in fact it has a huge connection behind it.
If the Xuanyuan Sect loses more and wins less, even if it hooks up with the Song Dynasty court, its status in the world will still be drastically reduced.
All the wealthy people in the world couldn't help but get excited and applauded in amusement, which made the roof tiles rustle.
In full view of everyone, and with the Zhao and Song royal family coming in person, Jiang Lie gave an order to clear an open space and had two rows of weapon racks brought in for the young men to choose from. These weapons were not fired, so if they were accidentally injured, they would not be hurt.
Killed on the spot.
Zhao Liuyi glanced around among the young people and couldn't help but said: "Who is Fu Jingtao? Stand up and let people take a look!"
Fu Jingtao was startled, and quickly glanced at Zhao Liu. Is this a Xibei girl disguised as a man? Why did she ask for her name? He took two steps forward and came out of the queue, cupping his fists to his chest and saying: "Report to Mr. Zhao Liu, I
It’s Fu Jingtao!”
He is tall and powerful, and has experienced many life-and-death battles. He has long lost his youthful innocence, and naturally carries a calm and unhurried indifference in his actions. Although he faces the critical eyes of all the heroes, he is neither humble nor overbearing, and his tone
He is as calm and composed as a rock or a green pine, which makes people sincerely praise him secretly: What a man of iron bones!
Zhao Liuhan said with a smile: "Fu Jingtao, you have made extraordinary contributions to the Song Dynasty, and the imperial court has also rewarded you. I hope all Xuanyuan men can be as fearless as you and serve the country!" After saying that, he took off a piece from his waist.
He held the jade pendant up in the air and waved it, and said with a smile: "Whoever performs best today, I will reward this jade pendant to him!"
Chapter completed!
