When a young man meets a young man, his eyes are always full of stars.
Just like Qiao Miaoqing and Liu Yi at this moment, the bright light in the eyes of the boy and girl is enough to reflect the entire galaxy.
...
While the little girl was thinking about the deep meaning of her words, the young man Liu Yi held back his breath and buried his face deeply in the basin. He didn't pull away until his breathing became short. This feeling of being released from the suffocation gave him a brief feeling. A mentality of anticipating death and rebirth.
Then, he wiped his face casually, walked out of the door, and smiled at Qiao Miaoqing, who was still thinking about it, "Let's go! I'll take you to a feast!"
After walking a few steps, Liu Yi heard an angry scream from the little girl behind him, running towards him with her teeth and claws bared.
Liu Yi stuck out his tongue, shrank his head, and fled far away.
Young people have dreams, and young people have feelings. However, the best thing about young people is that although they say they give up, they always hold a breath in their hearts.
...
In Xuanhuai County, Uncle Xuanhuai came to complain about his grudges with his eight axes. When the marquis arrived, he walked in the hidden moon. The children stopped crying when they heard the sound, and the husband was in jail to see the ghosts worried.
Just from a popular local poem, you can tell how ferocious this old Zhao Yao was when he was young.
It's just that time has never been kind to anyone. As he got older, Zhao Yao gradually lost a lot of his evil spirit in the fireworks of the world, and he became a lot gentler. Even so, every time he thinks about those years, he still can't stop the people of Xuanhuai from paying tribute to him. His awe and admiration.
As the Xuanhuai Zhao family started from scratch, they naturally have a good relationship with the black and white clans of Huaxing County. Today, the people invited to the old Zhao Yao's birthday banquet are naturally all kinds of people, including some from all walks of life and dignitaries.
Having said that, after all, Lao Zhao Yao came from a martial arts background. Although he usually lives a low-key life, with the guests gathered today, even a low-key person has to be high-profile!
After all, the most important thing for Jianghu people is face!
For today's banquet, Zhao Yao killed a hundred sheep, laid out a hundred tables, and prepared the altar for a long time. Some people laughed and said: Mr. Zhao vacated half of Xuanhuai County for this birthday banquet. In the next month, the drunkards in the city will have no alcohol to drink and will suffer!
God is happy, the sun is warm today, when noon comes, old Zhao Yao, dressed in red and wearing a red robe, with a beaming face, slowly appears on the stage surrounded by a group of soldiers.
Mr. Zhao lived a generous life and did not like long speeches. He only served the wine and greeted the guests a few times before ordering the kitchen to bring out the dishes.
According to old Zhao Yao's saying: Deep love will deepen when you drink. If you talk about love and justice, we will meet over wine!
The door is full of guests, and the banquet begins.
One after another, delicious sheep-based dishes appear in turn. The mutton soup is white like milk, the roasted lamb leg is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the lamb blood is pure in texture, the braised lamb is rotten but not sticky, and the roasted lamb brain is tender and refreshing... ., the variety of dishes are countless.
After a while, the aroma of mutton and the sweet aroma of wine filled the entire Zhao Mansion.
Mutton dumplings with old vinegar, lamb hooves with old wine, no matter whether they are Jiang Hu Cao Mang or Xuan Huai officials, everyone is happy to eat them. As they change cups again and again, they gradually forget their identities and become famous. A slice.
Thanks to Liu Yi, Liu Yi, Qiao Miaoqing, Li Erniu, and Zhou Fu were able to dine at the same table with Zhao Yao and Zhao Sujian. Liu Yi and Zhao Yao, old and young, exchanged glasses on the wine table. It was lively, Li Erniu and Zhou Fu slowly ate or drank, looking around warily, Zhao Sujian sat there stupidly, drooling and giggling, Qiao Miaoqing was eating her food regardless, everything seemed so peaceful.
With Dragon Ball squaring off, Liu Yi is absolutely defiant in the world of wine. No, he is an existence that subverts the truth. However, old Zhao Yao has been an alcoholic for half his life, and he is no match for the fledgling Liu Yi. From the beginning, the two complimented each other and gradually became It became a wine fight. After dozens of rounds, it was Lao Zhao Yao who lost the last round. His stomach was already churning, and he hurriedly lowered his head to eat the food, fearing that he would be embarrassed and vomited it out.
After a while, more and more people came to toast Zhao Yao. Although the old man refused all comers, he also showed signs of fatigue. At this time, Liu Yi, who was beside him, helped old Zhao Yao a lot. busy.
Faced with the altercation between the young men in the world under the old man and Zhao Yao’s former brothers,
Toasting, Liu Yi simply showed his pride and took advantage of General Hirata's reputation of drinking with friends. He blocked all the wine for Lao Zhao Yao. By the end of the drink, even Liu Yi himself couldn't remember how many bowls he drank. Here.
who cares! Anyway, I went to the toilet, activated the dragon ball, and became a good man again! Hahaha!
A hero emerges from the wine bar. This high-spirited drink completely convinced old Zhao Yao and the gangsters who made friends based on their temperament. A large group of men with bare chests and bare arms gathered around Liu Yi, praising Liu Yin for his talent and ability to win over others. , a powerful hero of the time, clamoring to join the Hirata Army after the banquet. .
Liu Yi smiled and shook his head. How could he take his words while drunk seriously?
Of course, Liu Yi didn't just drink. His wise eyes were always observing the words and expressions, watching the guests coming and going vigilantly.
Soon, several people naturally attracted his attention.
The first group of people were Zhang Youxia, who was temporarily acting as the county magistrate of Xuanhuai County, and his brother Zhang Youchen, who was in the armor-removing realm. They had known Liu Yi all their lives, but when they met, they were secretive towards Liu Yi and did not dare to go around. Their eyes looked at each other, as if they were hiding something, which was really puzzling.
The second was Huang Qiancui, the first master of the Xuanfu Sect, who was in the city-breaking realm, and Huang Qianfan, the second master of the monument-pushing realm. When these two toasted to Liu Yi, a trace of unconcealed murderous intent flashed in their eyes, and they looked at Zhao Yao His eyes were not that friendly either.
As the saying goes, there is no ghost in the heart but no panic on the face. When Liu Yi saw this, he immediately became wary: Could it be that these people wanted to kill him to take credit from the Jiang family?
Just when Liu Yi wanted to ask Zhou Fu to investigate, Zhao Yao, who was unconscious and drunk, held down Liu Yi's wrist and whispered, "Little friend, can you see your second uncle?"
"Back to senior, I didn't find Jiang Ruisheng!" Liu Yi looked around boldly, but still didn't find Jiang Ruisheng. He was very confused and worried.
"Then why are you so worried?" Zhao Yao's cheeks turned red, his mouth opened wide, and he laughed loudly. He was not afraid of being heard, and said loudly, "The fact that the enemy's general has not come out means that the situation is not in crisis. Besides, in this place, Who in your house dares to use force without opening your eyes?"
Liu Yi calmed down and couldn't help but praise, "Mr. Zhao is getting stronger as he gets older. The younger generation is ashamed of himself!"
"Old man, I grew up in humble beginnings. The late emperor promoted me into the ranks, and I was able to accomplish great feats and live in glory for half my life. I will never forget this kindness."
Zhao Yao drank the wine and said meaningfully, "Old man, I know clearly what should be done and what shouldn't be done. If there is really someone in Xuanhuai County who wants to bring disaster to the country, I, Zhao Yao, , don’t agree!”
Liu Yi chuckled, "Mr. Zhao, it seems you haven't had a drink yet! Come on, come on, I will drink three more bowls with you."
"You kid, you got an advantage and still act like a good boy!"
Old Zhao Yao glared at Liu Yi blowing his beard, but he also picked up the wine bowl.
"Hey! You are such a famous person in the world, don't argue with me!" Liu Yi punished himself with a bowl, picked up a leg of lamb, gnawed it bitterly, and asked, "Mr. Zhao , I just saw the fierce look on the face of the head of the Xuanfu Sect, could it be that you have some issues with him?"
When mentioning Huang Qiancui, the head of the Xuanfu Sect, Lao Zhao Yao looked indifferent, put down his wine bowl, and said coldly, "We can't talk about it during the holidays, it's just that we don't agree with each other!"
"Oh? This junior is willing to hear the details!" Liu Yi became more energetic, and the little girl's eyes widened as well.
"Haha, these are just some past events of the sect." Zhao Yao opened his mouth and came patiently, "Back then, I was born in the Xuanfu Sect. In order to establish meritorious deeds and serve the court, I took away more than a hundred disciples of the Xuanfu Sect. , the Xuanfu Sect at that time did not have the large formation of thousands of disciples today. It was just a third-rate sect with more than a hundred people, which was almost like draining the firepower. The second junior brother, oh, was Huang Qiancui, the head of the Xuanfu Sect just now. They came to me and asked me to persuade them to return as disciples, but I refused, so the two of us had a big fight, cut off our robes, and agreed to never see each other again."
Old Zhao Yao sighed softly, "Later, with the mediation of the master, the two of us were able to communicate with each other. However, the relationship was forged! Except for festivals, there is no daily communication."
"It brings up Mr. Zhao's sadness!" Liu Yi raised his wine apologetically and said, "I will punish myself with a bowl."
! "
"Haha! I didn't realize the year before last that my little friend is still a good drinker! Come on, I'll follow you!" Old Zhao Yao drank up the wine, and the two of them drank to make friends, and they also formed a lifelong friendship.
This banquet did not last long. Except for a group of Zhao Yao's old brothers who were still drinking heavily, the other guests from all religions showed their faces and showed their courtesy, and then left one by one. In less than an hour, most of the people All gone.
Brother Zhang Youxia and the two heads of the Xuanfu Sect also slowly disappeared into the crowd, which made Liu Yi, who was in a state of anxiety, finally heave a sigh of relief.
The birthday banquet was already a happy event, and Liu Yi wanted to make it even more happy. Just when he was about to talk about the piano bug to old Zhao Yao, suddenly, a cold wind blew through the courtyard, and a man with beautiful features, a nose as straight as a peak, and a slanted green shirt appeared. The middle-aged man with the sword appeared on the scene.
Liu Yi was horrified when he first saw this man. The middle-aged man in front of him was none other than his second uncle, Jiang Ruisheng, who had always wanted to kill him.
After the big shock, Liu Yi kept complaining in his heart: I promised to be calm during big events! Are they all dragged out along with the food?
"Good nephew, long time no see!" Jiang Ruisheng said with a sneer on his face, "Second uncle misses you so much! If third brother hadn't entered the realm of immortality, second uncle would have gone to Lingyuan City to see you!"
After being frightened, Liu Yi calmed down in an instant and immediately retorted, "Haha! My good second uncle, why didn't you show up when you protected your nephew to go north to Pingtian last year? Why, don't you want to give your nephew a chance to repay your kindness?"
"Your second uncle has benefited from the kindness of the sword in the Taibai Mountains that day." Jiang Ruisheng laughed coldly, "Haha! It's not too late to repay the rest of the kindness!"
Invisible murderous aura immediately spread in the courtyard.
