The banquet began.
And there was a lot of drinking and feasting.
On the martial arts road in the south of the Yangtze River, there are two roads, black and white, water and land. Most of the famous and promising people came, swaggeringly got on the boat and took their seats.
The seats alone were filled with twelve large ships.
The guys from the restaurants and inns on both sides of the Taiwan Strait filed in one by one, carrying wine and food, smiling happily.
The preparations for this banquet started half a month ago.
At the beginning of the banquet, Li Muchan had already resigned.
He is the leader and the boss. If he sits high and scrutinizes people, the people below him will inevitably be unable to let go. Moreover, he must always be vigilant and not be too arrogant. The most important thing is that Li Muchan is really honest. I don’t really like the excitement in the utilitarian field.
Therefore, the matter of greeting the guests was left to Qiu Shuiqing.
There was snow falling on the long street, and Li Muchan took Ye'er and the goddess of bliss for a walk.
It's just a few days before the New Year's Eve. The streets are decorated with lights and colorful decorations, people are playing winds and playing, and you can see dragon and lion dances. Vendors of all kinds come and go incessantly, and the sounds of hawking are heard one after another. There are also many craftsmen from all walks of life gathered in front of the Confucius Temple, doing various tricks. There are endless fireworks and fireworks.
This is called fun.
The goddess of bliss held one of Ye'er's hands and smiled charmingly: "How do you feel about returning to Jinling?"
Li Muchan held a bunch of candied haws in one hand and held an umbrella in the other. While biting off one, she said vaguely: "Of course I have a lot of emotions. I..."
As he spoke, his face suddenly changed and turned pale. Then he swallowed the hawthorn in his mouth and handed the candied haws to Ye'er with a smile: "Ye'er, uncle, this bunch of candied haws is very sweet. If you don't believe me, try it!"
Ye'er's face was full of joy. Hearing the words, he had no doubt that he was there. When he took one, his red face suddenly changed. He winked and even shuddered: "Wow, it's sour!"
At this time, Li Muchan took a deep breath, shrank his shoulders, and said with a strange smile, "This is too sour."
The goddess of bliss rolled her eyes aside, feeling both amused and surprised.
She just thought that she had seen through this man a long time ago, and did not want to be ambitious and cynical.
However, this... is also good.
If a person is thinking about conspiracies, traps and tricks all the time, that would be terrible and tiring.
The Paradise Goddess asked: "Are those remnants of the Demon Cult just letting it go?"
Li Muchan rubbed Ye'er's head and said softly: "Well, I'm going to the Demon Cult's headquarters in a while, and I'm going alone. The countries in the Western Region are a piece of fat that can't be lost. Don't forget that there are As for Sun Xingyu, this woman should be able to win over many members of the Demon Sect. She is very ambitious and will never be willing to succumb to Shangguan Xiaoxian. Maybe she can be used by me."
The three of them walked in the winter snow, talking, laughing, and stopping.
The goddess of bliss seemed to have let go of her girlish nature and jumped for joy. She followed Ye'er back and forth in the market, chasing and jumping around, and the jingling of the ornaments all over her body was very sweet.
Li Muchan looked at the two people in the snow, hesitated for a moment, and said warmly: "By the way, I have known you for so long, and I still don't know your name. Could it be that you are called Paradise Goddess?"
The girl's cheeks turned red, she stopped chasing, her beautiful eyes rolled, she looked at the man in front of her silently for a moment, then she tangled her hair at her temples, and said with a sweet smile: "My surname is also Li, my name is Li. Medicine Master Li.”
Li Muchan was a little curious: "The Medicine Master of Medicine Buddha?"
The smile on the face of the goddess of bliss faded a lot, and she said casually: "Because my mother gave birth to me in a Buddhist hall, and the hall happened to enshrine the Medicine Buddha, she gave me this name, thinking about my future Being able to practice medicine and save the world.”
"Doesn't it sound good?" she asked.
Li Muchan shook his head: "No, it sounds good."
The goddess of bliss smiled: "Then you have to remember it, because apart from my father, you are the first man in the world who knows my name."
Li Muchan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll write it down. I'll definitely remember it clearly."
"Ah sneeze!"
Just as the two were looking at each other, Ye'er beside them suddenly sneezed at an inappropriate time.
Looking away, Li Muchan smiled and said, "Take her back first, I want to go for a walk alone."
The Paradise Girl pinched Ye'er's face angrily, cast a resentful look at Li Muchan, and then said, "It's okay, Ye'er and I can play by ourselves."
Watching the two chasing each other away, Li Muchan shook his head and laughed.
The snow was falling, and he was walking alone on the long street, as if he were strolling in a garden, enjoying the scenery.
After just walking one street, he had already eaten several kinds of snacks, changed four or five kinds of snacks, and savored the sweet taste in his mouth, his eyes widening with laughter.
In this world, if you have strength, you can wield power in all directions, and if you are utilitarian, you can dominate the world, but fighting over it is just for enjoyment, and now is the time to enjoy it.
Li Muchan has never been greedy. Even if it is just a piece of snack, he will feel it is a pleasure to taste the taste.
The wind and snow are blowing, and the long street is noisy.
Watching the traffickers and lackeys coming and going, refusing to pay the literati, what Li Muchan enjoyed was the atmosphere of the market.
Moreover, although the Demon Sect's eastward march is over, its murderous intent has not yet dissipated.
He even felt a stronger danger approaching him.
Because the Demon Sect is only an external trouble, and now that the external trouble is gone, many people should start to deal with this internal problem.
The time when a person is closest to success is often the time when he is closest to failure.
Li Muchan now owns half of the world and is extremely close to success.
Will he fail?
"Beat her to death, let her steal, beat her!"
A burst of noisy shouting and cursing suddenly came from a corner of the market, interrupting Li Muchan's thoughts.
On the snow, the waiter and owner of the bun shop were punching, kicking and cursing a beggar.
The man was disheveled and clutching two meat buns in his hands. He didn't cry out in pain even after being beaten and just ate them hungrily. He seemed to be a woman.
Li Muchan sighed, walked over, and put down a few pieces of broken silver: "Let her eat."
The boss immediately beamed and thanked him repeatedly.
Seeing this, the beggar jumped up and took out a few hot buns from the cage. Under his disheveled hair, there were a pair of beautiful eyes as black as gems.
Li Muchan frowned. He felt that these eyes seemed familiar, like someone's.
"What's your name?" he asked.
The beggar blinked his eyes and ate in his mouth, with a meaningful smile on his dirty face: "Little girl Shangguan Xian'er."
Li Muchan narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a while, and then said warmly: "Would you like me to take you to eat something good?"
…
And in another place in Jinling City.
In a dilapidated ancestral hall, Yan's Ancestral Hall, a figure in white was standing in the wind with his hands behind his back, covered in snow.
This figure seemed to be waiting for something and sighing for something.
Sighing at the sudden changes in the sky, I also lamented at the ups and downs of this world.
"Well, I didn't expect that Li Muchan is actually so good at subduing others without fighting and finding a new way. It's really amazing. I originally thought I could witness a fierce battle, but my trip was in vain." The man laughed softly. .
The smile is unhurried and unhurried, making people feel like a spring breeze.
And the person he was waiting for has arrived.
The fragrant wind passed by, and a graceful figure with a crisp ringing sound made this untrodden place a little more alive.
"Has the time come?" the man in white asked without looking back.
The man turned around, his white hair rising in the wind, and his bronze dragon head mask looked particularly ferocious and cold.
This person is obviously the great dragon leader of the Qinglong Society, Gong Ziyu.
And the person he was waiting for looked at the fragrance and saw that it was a woman, a beautiful and refined Miao woman.
The woman lowered her eyes and said softly: "He said that he would go to the Demon Sect's base camp later. He wanted to go alone, and he only told me about it. That was the perfect opportunity to take action. .”
Gong Ziyu nodded, no longer asked, but asked with a smile: "Is Li Muchan relieved to let you stand behind him?"
The woman said calmly: "Yes!"
Gongzi Yu nodded and sighed: "It's a pity that such a person should fall into the hands of a woman."
After saying that, he added: "Junior sister, thank you for your hard work."
The wind and snow passed by, and there was no trace of the woman. The sky and the earth were white, leaving only one person alone.
