The three of them arrived in front of the main hall. Jiang Shuiyao looked at the scene in front of him and exclaimed.
The total number of people in the Wandan Sect is nearly five hundred. Tonight, except for the brothers who patrol the mountain and watch the gate, everyone else is basically gathered in the square outside the main hall. Some of them are busy carrying firewood, and some are turning over the iron frame.
There was a barbecue on the table, and a small group of people had already started dancing around the bonfire.
Linghu Yinanxiu's face was filled with excitement: "Today's party is the only one that truly welcomes you."
After she brought the two of them to the square, she ran to join the crowd dancing around the bonfire. Jiang Shuiyao smiled helplessly and led Ling Hu through the busy crowd.
This red robe is too eye-catching. Whenever everyone sees it, they will bow extremely respectfully and shout "Hello, Special Envoy Jiang" before starting to busy themselves with the things they are doing. Jiang Shuiyao's original intention was to see if there was anything he needed.
It was a place to help, but going around like this was like a patrol, and in the end I had to go back angrily, so as not to cause trouble to others.
As soon as the two of them stepped into the main hall, Linghu Jiangan and Xiao Yu were already there to greet them. Jiang Shuiyao smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work for such a grand occasion."
Linghu Jiangan is wearing a lavender robe. He is obviously almost fifty years old. There is not a single wrinkle on his face. His mature and steady temperament can give people a sense of security. Especially those eyes, look
It looks vicissitudes of life and profound, like grass that has experienced many ups and downs but always grows tenaciously and is full of vitality.
Xiao Yu, who was beside him, was dressed in bright red, with silky black hair blowing in the wind. She looked charming and gorgeous in her every move.
"You are our distinguished guest. It is your first time coming to the Wandan Sect today. These etiquettes are what you should expect."
As soon as Linghu Jiangan finished speaking, Xiao Yu added with a smile: "Taking this opportunity, my husband and I are bold enough to ask Special Envoy Jiang Haihan if the Wandan Sect does anything bad in the future."
Jiang Shuiyao laughed, imitating Chai Que's tone and said: "Easy to say. Easy to say."
"I heard from Miss Yinan that there are many elixirs in the sect. If I have the chance to see one, it would be a great blessing in life!"
Xiao Yu covered her mouth and replied with a smile: "The Wandan Sect contains indeed a lot of elixir recipes. If Special Envoy Jiang is interested, the Wandan Sect will naturally not hide their secrets. But you have to say it first. Even if you want to get the elixir recipe, you can still get it from the sect."
In exchange for your contribution. This agreement was made clear when the Wandan Sect took refuge with the Blood-clothed Soul Sect, so Special Envoy Jiang should not even think about being lazy."
Jiang Shuiyao was stunned for a moment, and then his heart felt hot.
He is a person who is not willing to rest in peace. Since he wants to use his sect to contribute, he will naturally not miss the opportunity to practice himself. In this way, his life in Wandan Sect will not be too lonely.
However, the medicinal materials will be allocated in a few days. If the elixir cannot be obtained in time, what will be used to make elixirs?
A fleeting trace of anxiety flashed across Jiang Shuiyuan's eyes.
Linghu Jiangan and Xiao Yu, who were well dressed, looked at each other and smiled. Jiang Shuiyao's momentary absence obviously did not escape their eyes. Linghu Jiangan sighed slightly, after all, the new envoy is still young and hardworking. The previous few
There are many people among the special envoys who are interested in certain elixir recipes, but when it comes to the need for sects to contribute in exchange, they shrink back. They say they have time to try it, but in fact they have begun to live a domineering life.
, the sect also followed closely with complaints.
"But we are not so stingy. Since Special Envoy Jiang is extremely interested in alchemy, what if we give you a few prescriptions?"
Xiao Yu vaguely guessed that Jiang Shuiyao would not sell medicinal materials directly like the previous special envoys, so he simply made another favor: "The medicinal materials allocated from above will be delivered on time on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. As usual, your two layers of medicinal materials will be delivered on time."
It will be reserved, and we will give you a few more elixir prescriptions when the time comes. It will also allow you to practice your skills and kill the boredom in the Wandan Sect."
Jiang Shuiyao was overjoyed, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much."
"After all, we are all a family, so there is no need to be polite." Xiao Yu changed the topic and said, "Just now I heard Yinan say that she saw Qin's special envoy escaping from your yard in a hurry, but you made a little unpleasant noise?"
"That's not true." Jiang Shuiyuan added without any trace: "He came here specifically to tell me that the two-winged crane was shot by someone from the Wandan Sect. Brother Ling said that he was sowing discord and was about to teach him a lesson.
Who would have thought that Qin Mengxiang was directly scared away."
Linghu Jiangan smiled lightly: "There are not many people in the sect who can pierce the neck of the two-winged crane with an arrow. These people were all sitting in the main hall at that time..."
Jiang Shuiyao smiled and said: "Master Linghu, don't worry, Shuiyao will not take Qin Mengxiang's nonsense to heart."
Xiao Yu put away her smile and said seriously: "But then again, although he is a bit unpopular on weekdays, to you he is always an elder of the sect and an older person. No matter where he comes from,
From a personal perspective, you still have to respect it."
"Deputy Sect Master Xiao is magnanimous and Shuiyao has learned a lesson."
Jiang Shuiyao took a long breath and nodded. The two of them were extremely calm about Qin Mengxiang's frame-up, but their calm eyes made Jiang Shuiyao feel that the shooting of the two-winged crane was not at all instigated by them, but was actually Qin Mengxiang's.
A trick to sow discord.
But Feng Xiangshan was extremely sure that the arrow was shot in the territory of the Wandan Sect. Could it be that there are other masters in the Wandan Sect that Linghu Jiangan and Xiao Yu don't know about, and they have been lurking in the mountains and forests within the sect for a long time.
inside?
Jiang Shuiyao's mind was racing, but Xiao Yu stretched and said, "Let's go! The dinner is about to start."
Except for a bonfire burning in the center of the square and a large open space reserved, tables and chairs were neatly arranged in other places.
The food was steaming hot, and the aroma of barbecue filled the entire valley. Four to five hundred people gathered, and more than a dozen disciples were carrying plates and shuttles among the tables to serve food. Most of the people were already standing at the tables, looking at people coming out of the main hall.
of several people.
Jiang Shuiyao was slightly surprised. After entering for only a short while, a table of food was placed on the platform outside the main hall, which was obviously specially prepared for them. Not far from the table, a disciple was turning an iron pick.
Turning the barbecue, the aroma is extremely tempting.
Linghu Jiang'an was in high spirits, holding a wine glass and standing side by side with Jiang Shuiyao a few steps in front of Xiao Yu and others, and said loudly: "Children! The annual calamity is approaching, which means that the new year is about to begin! Today, Special Envoy Jiang
When you come to the sect, our sect is even more blessed with double happiness! Let’s raise a toast! Welcome to the special envoy of the Yangtze River! Welcome the New Year!”
Linghu Jiangan drank all the wine in his cup, and four to five hundred people raised their glasses together and shouted: "Special envoy to welcome the river!"
"Do you want to say a few words?" Linghu Jiangan gently patted Jiang Shuiyao's shoulder.
Jiang Shuiyao thought for a moment, held the wine glass and shouted: "My name is Jiang Shuiyao, the new special envoy! Today I wish you all a happy New Year! Have a good meal and drink, everyone!"
Having said that, Jiang Shuiyuan raised his glass.
I thought it was just a simple opening, but I didn't know it was already over. Even Linghu Jiangan was stunned, and hurriedly raised his glass and shouted: "Everyone, eat well and drink well!"
"Thank you, Sect Master! Thank you, Special Envoy Jiang!"
The disciples raised their glasses again.
Jiang Shuiyao is not stage frightened, but judging from half a day of observation, everyone in the Wandan Sect is deeply afraid of the identity of the special envoy. In addition, the sect has already changed four or five special envoys, and those cliché scenes must have been said.
Countless times. So Jiang Shuiyuan is too lazy to talk nonsense. This deep-rooted impression cannot be changed by a few words of gentle breeze and drizzle. Talking too much is really meaningless.
Of course, being less talkative also has the advantage of being less talkative. Many disciples' faces were filled with joy. When Linghu Jiang smiled and invited Jiang Shuiyao to take a seat, they also took their seats and had a good meal.
They have listened to a lot of empty talk over the years, and they never expected that they would be able to be quiet on this occasion today. Xiao Yu pulled out a chair for Jiang Shuiyao with a smile on his face, his eyes were a little deep. In her eyes, Jiang Shuiyao
Like an uncut jade. She was very sure that it would be much easier to deal with such a young boy than someone like Qin Mengxiang.
The table was very big, and no one else was sitting except Linghu Jiangan, his wife, and Jiang Shuiyao.
Linghu Yinan was holding a wine pot, ready to pour wine at any time, Linghu stood beside Jiang Shuiyao, and the elders of Wandan Sect were arranged to sit at other tables. As for where Qin Mengxiang was, no one cared.
After drinking for three rounds, Linghu Jiangan reached out and asked Linghu Yinan to sit next to Jiang Shuiyao. Linghu also sat at the table under his repeated invitation. After all, the master of Jian Junjing, even if he is not Jiang Shuiyao's
The guards are also worthy of his hospitality from Linghu Jiangan.
Ling Hu was sensible enough. He only agreed to sit down when Jiang Shuiyao nodded. At the same time, he changed his reckless image and started to eat and drink slowly.
Jiang Shuiyao smiled bitterly and shook his head without saying much.
Linghu Yinan drank two glasses of wine, and a blush quickly appeared on her beautiful face. Despite this, she still put vegetables into Jiang Shuiyao's bowl from time to time like a little daughter-in-law, and chattered various things in her mouth.
Interesting things happened within the sect, and the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became more lively.
After a while, the disciple in charge of the barbecue came over and said, "Sect Master, the two-winged crane has been roasted."
Linghu Jiangan nodded: "Bring it up."
The double-winged crane, which was nearly the size of an ostrich, was not cut into pieces and was placed on a huge plate. After being served, it occupied almost half of the table.
Linghu Jiangan stood up with a kitchen knife in his hand and held his sleeves. When he was about to do it himself, he suddenly saw a figure coming here in no hurry.
The person who came looked like he was about the same age as Linghu Jiangan, and his complexion was obviously sickly pale, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and the light he revealed seemed to be extremely inconsistent with the temperament of this body.
He swept around the people at the table, then bowed deeply to Jiang Shui, who was dressed in red robes, and said with great respect: "I, Zhong Youyuan, the deputy sect leader of Xuanyang Sect, pay my respects to Special Envoy Jiang!"
Zhong Youyuan looked at the two-winged crane that had just been served on the table, and said with a smile: "You dare to grill the two-winged crane. Master Linghu is really brave!"
