"Sigh...Brother Murong must have been too anxious and left right away."
Chen Mobai saw the money left on the table and said: "Brother Murong is also eager to save people. Since coming here, there has been no clue. I finally listened to you and me today, so I can't wait to find out the news about the bully."
Ding Diandian took another bite of the dish and ate it, then leaned back in the chair with satisfaction and said, "Okay, I'm full, I've bought some wine, and the mission is accomplished!"
After Chen Mobai ate all the food, he said to Dingdian: "Little one, can you accompany me to go shopping on the street?"
"Ah? Are you tired? I don't want to go. If you want to go, just go by yourself."
Chen Mobai looked out the window at the brightly lit streets. He had never seen anything like this before, and there seemed to be more people on the streets at night, making it very lively.
Ding Diandian looked at Chen Mobai, sighed helplessly, and then said: "Okay, okay, I can't go back now anyway, and it's still early to go to bed, so I will take you for a walk. By the way, before I thought you were carrying some kind of magical weapon, but why did you end up with a broken stick?"
"What a broken stick! That is my treasure, I have carried it with me since I was a child."
"Tsk~ Just break the stick and return the treasure."
"Forget it, you little girl, I don't understand even if I tell you."
When the two of them came to the street, they really didn't expect that the city would be so prosperous and colorful at night. Ding Diandian said he wouldn't come, but in the end he was happier than Chen Mobai. When he felt like it, he would talk about this and that, and most of the time he was minding his own business. of play.
I don’t know how long I walked around before I returned to the inn. Ding Diandian was already exhausted. Chen Mobai poured her a cup of tea and wanted her to talk about something she didn’t know. How could Ding Diandian still have the time to chat with him again? Go back to the room Then sleep.
Chen Mobai had no choice but to go back to his room. What he had seen and heard in just one day was a bit difficult for him to digest as he was out of the valley for the first time. The majestic Wuchang River, the prosperous Wangjiang City, the realm of martial arts, and the nature of the true energy in the body were concepts that I didn't know clearly before. With curiosity and joy, he quickly fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Ding Diandian was about to knock on the door, when Chen Mobai came out of the house.
"little guy?"
"I was just going to tell you that I'm going back. Cheapskate, you haven't seen much of the world. Remember not to be reckless when you encounter trouble in the future. Not every time you encounter someone you don't want to mess with, someone will happen to help you."
Chen Mobai was startled, and said inexplicably a little disappointed: "Are you going back so soon? I originally wanted you to tell me more about the things in this world."
Ding Diandian acted like a young adult, punched Chen Mobai on the chest with a pink fist, and said with a smile: "There is always a feast in the world. Here, these are some cakes I bought when I went out in the morning. You usually carry them with you. It is inevitable that you will be hungry sometimes when walking around the world. Belly. Also, I live in Liangfeng Mountain. You can come to me if you have anything in the future. I will protect you."
Chen Mobai smiled bitterly and said: "I know. Little one, you are the first friend I met after coming out of the valley. If you need my help with anything in the future, you can tell me."
"You'd better practice your martial arts first, but Brother Murong still hasn't come back. It seems that we can't say goodbye in person. Okay, I'm leaving. You can take care of yourself."
Chen Mobai looked at Ding Diandian's leaving figure, still a little reluctant to leave.
"By the way, I don't know if Brother Murong has heard anything. It's better to go look for him."
Thinking that he was fine and the only two people he knew were gone, Ding Diandian decided to go find Murong Tianji.
After asking around whether there was a banquet hosted by a big family in the city recently, I learned that there was a wealthy businessman in Wangjiang City named Wan Qiying. He was originally a member of the martial arts community. After that, it was difficult to make a breakthrough in martial arts, so he relied on his own ability and added... Friends in the arena started a business. After more than ten years, I have accumulated a lot of savings. It's just that this man has a lustful nature, and relying on his martial arts skills and wealth, he often abuses women from good families. These days it is said that I will take a concubine, and the banquet will be at noon tomorrow.
Chen Mobai secretly thought that this person could be the person that Brother Murong is looking for. After asking for the location of Wan Qiying's mansion, he went there.
Not long after, you could see a large house in the distance. The entrance to the house was like a bustling market, and everyone who came and went looked happy. As I got closer, I realized that the house was surprisingly large. Just as he was about to go in, he was stopped by two people at the door.
"Excuse me, do you have an invitation from your house?"
Chen Mobai was slightly startled and said, "Invitation? Isn't there a wedding going on in this house?"
"It's true that there is a happy event, but the people my master is inviting to the banquet have already sent out invitations in advance. If there are no invitations, you can also state your name and your sect. My master should welcome you with courtesy."
"Chen Mobai has no family or sect."
The two gatekeepers looked at each other. It was the only time in their lives that this man talked about freeloading so straightforwardly, without the slightest bit of disdain. But he was afraid of accidentally offending someone, so he cautiously asked again: "No family or sect? Do you know my master or have business dealings with him?"
"No."
"May I ask where my master is?"
"My home? In the valley."
After this questioning, the gatekeeper could be sure that this person not only had no background, but was also a fool, or a shameless scoundrel who wanted to try his luck and come in to eat and drink. His tone was not as polite as before.
"Hey, this is the first time I've seen someone so shameless and confident. Do you know who my master is? You still want to come and eat for free? Get out of here and don't add any bad luck here, otherwise I'll make you look good. "
Chen Mobai felt baffled when he saw the two people turning against each other faster than flipping through a book. He had been polite just now, but his attitude changed as soon as he said he was from the valley. It was impossible to enter through the main entrance now, but the more this happened, the more curious he became, what exactly was this banquet like? Judging from the people coming and going at the door, it seems to be very lively.
When it got a little later, Chen Mobai walked around to the back door of Wanqi's house, looked around but there was no one around, and then he jumped up the outer wall with a little force. The lights were brightly lit and the sound was noisy in the depths of the mansion. It seemed that many people had gathered. Following the voice, he walked all the way from the eaves, hiding himself and carefully looking around. At this time, Wanqi Mansion was decorated with red and colorful decorations everywhere, and the guests in the courtyard were noisily changing glasses.
After three rounds of drinking, a tall, round-waisted man dressed like the master of the palace came to the banquet.
"Everyone, I am not talented. Thank you for coming all the way to congratulate me. You can eat and drink as much as you want today, but don't miss the wedding banquet tomorrow."
"Hahahahaha, Mr. Wanqi is joking. We heard that the concubine that Mr. Wanqi took this time is a little girl. You specially crossed Wuxiang River to bring her back. We are still waiting to see her beauty. What a pretty girl."
"That's right. If Master Wanqi likes it, he will make a special trip to pick it up. Just thinking about it, I know it's definitely not bad."
"Hahaha! It's easy to talk! You can see me tomorrow. Come on, come on, I'll toast you all again. I won't accompany you today. I'm sorry for my indifference."
Chen Mobai listened clearly from the eaves. It seemed that the person Brother Murong was looking for was most likely this fat middle-aged man. Then I thought, wouldn't it be better if I rescued this innocent girl tonight.
Thinking of this, he jumped down from the house, avoided the servants, and started searching. However, there were many houses in the mansion, and the road was complicated. He didn't find the person, but he felt a little dizzy. As he was looking for the way, he happened to be seen by the people patrolling the courtyard.
"who!"
There was a shout, and Chen Mobai was also a little panicked. He ran a few steps to avoid sight, and hurriedly jumped onto the roof again to hide.
After a while, Wan Qiying rushed over and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Sir, the inspector just said that he saw a figure just now."
"Where are the people?"
"I searched and couldn't find it. It may be that the people patrolling the hospital are looking at it."
"There are many people in the house these two days. Keep your eyes peeled and don't offend the guests. But you must also pay attention to Chiyue Tong. Although I deliberately chose the day of the wedding banquet tomorrow just to deal with her, but I also Maybe she's already here."
"Understood, sir, don't worry! With so many friends from the world here, even if she dares to come, I guarantee that she will never come back."
Wan Qiying scolded with a solemn expression: "Fart, what do you know? One Chiyue Tong can handle it, but if I offend the power behind her, no one can protect me."
"Yes, but with so many people, Chi Yuetong must be unable to do anything against the master."
"Well, send more manpower to keep an eye on her. I'll go back and see my beautiful wife first. I can't wait any longer." When it came to women, Wan Qiying showed a lustful look on her face.
Chen Mobai had already hid far away at this time and did not hear the conversation between Wan Qiying and his servant. He missed Wan Qiying's Tibetan bedroom. After that, I searched the house for most of the night to no avail. In this case, I could only wait until the wedding banquet the next day to make any plans. To make things easier, I simply found a place where I couldn't easily be noticed and hid and fell asleep.
The next morning, the servants in the mansion began to get busy. Some guests had arrived earlier. The mess in the courtyard last night had also taken on a new look. Guests at dozens of tables in front and behind had all taken their seats. They were just waiting for the wedding banquet to start when the time came.
"Hahahaha, friends who have come from afar, I am here to take a concubine today, so I just take the opportunity to get together with you. On the one hand, I want you to join in the fun, and on the other hand, I can also catch up with you, and we will see each other again in the future. I’m counting on your help.”
Wan Qiying came out of the inner hall first and made a speech. Before he finished speaking, people started to make noises, clamoring for the bride to come out for everyone to feast their eyes on.
"The auspicious time has come~Please invite the bride~"
The housekeeper shouted, and two maids supported the bride and walked slowly over. It was said to be slow, but many people could see that the bride was clearly shaking, and her legs were so weak that it seemed difficult to stand. But even so, no one showed sympathy, only shameful laughter and dirty words.
"Wan Qiying!"
Suddenly, a loud sound interrupted the laughter at the table. When everyone heard the sound and looked around, they saw a handsome young man breaking open the door of the inner courtyard with one palm and striding into the courtyard.
"Wan Qiying, you robbed women from good families and even dared to hold a grand wedding banquet. You are indeed lawless."
The person who came was none other than Murong Tianji.
