I am a stubborn stone, but I can mend the sky!

Chapter 34 The Night Banquet

When Ding Wei and Li Si communicated before, they didn't pay attention to Gu Xin who was standing aside, but this is really normal.

The masters of the eight halls in the black-clothed crowd are all appointed by Ming Yuanwei. A businessman like Gu Xin who wanders between black and white has always been their focus.

Fortunately, Gu Xin is also knowledgeable, knowing that Ding Wei doesn't want to see him, so he honestly stands aside and doesn't talk to him. After the other party has left, he whispers:

"Don't worry, the person I'm bringing you to meet has absolutely nothing to do with magic. They belong to a relatively strong local faction and are also supporters of the royal family."

As a member of the Purple Spirit Palace, Gu Xin naturally knows who can and cannot be touched.

In this kind of world where the strong can overwhelm the river and the sea, no matter how strong the local faction is, they will not dare to disobey the central government. If they really have that strength, they will not be the so-called local faction.

Therefore, in order to keep their power, these people must support the royal family wholeheartedly, otherwise they may be swallowed by other powerful people at any time.

Therefore, Li Si's investment from such people is basically beneficial and harmless. At most, his cultivation base will improve in the future, and his status will be higher. can pay off.

Li Si nodded and was about to say something when not far away was an innate martial artist in a white robe with a sword on his waist, who came over with a smile and asked:
"Brother Gu, why didn't you come here until now?"

As soon as Gu Xin saw this person, he greeted him with a smile, pulled Li Si and said:
"Xi Shui Street is completely blocked, there is no way. By the way, this is my little uncle Li Si, the disciple just accepted by the master last year, and now works in the black clothes..."

Before he finished speaking, the warrior in white laughed and said:

"Is this Captain Li the 'Crazy Saber'? I haven't been in Youdu for a few days, and I've heard a lot of people talking about you."

The white-clothed Xiantian, who was quite handsome just now, was so enthusiastic when his name was mentioned, Li Si couldn't help frowning, and subconsciously took a half step back.

Seeing this situation, Gu Xin knew that he had committed a mistake again, so he quickly kicked him quietly, Li Si then bit the bullet and asked:

"I'm Li Si, who is your Excellency?"

Without waiting for Bai Yixian to speak, Gu Xin immediately introduced with a smile on his face:

"This is the third son of Zhenbei General Dong Fulei, Sima Dong Teng of the other department, and he is one of the best young talents in the Zhenbei Army."

Zhenbei General Dong Fulei, a martial soul peak powerhouse (comparable to Yuanying peak), has been stationed in the northern border of the empire all year round, and often deals with Canglang Mountain and Demon Master Palace.

The Zhenbei Army under his command is good at fighting and is quite loyal to the contemporary Youdu King Ji Qiye, which can basically be regarded as the power of the royal family.

In Li Si's mind, the information about General Zhenbei flashed quickly, and then he guessed that the partner Gu Xin was going to introduce was probably Dong Sima in front of him.

"I've heard of Dong Sima's name for a long time, and it's really a great fortune to meet him today."

Li Si said according to the script, the other party is the patron at the moment, no matter how annoying he is to socialize, he still has to smile and say something nice.

These words are fine in themselves, but coming from a 12-year-old boy's mouth, it seems a bit weird.

Fortunately, in a practice world like the Shenzhou Realm, no matter how monstrous young people have appeared, it is not uncommon for young people to mature. Dong Teng and Li Si quickly chatted together.

The three of them chatted for about a quarter of an hour, Gu Xin saw that the fire was almost ready, and said with a smile:

"There are so many noisy people here, why don't we talk slowly in the private room on the second floor!"

The lobby on the first floor is just a place for basic communication. If the two sides can chat, the specific conditions have to go to the private room on the second floor to discuss slowly.

Otherwise, there are so many monks present, and those who have slightly strengthened their ears can easily hear their conversations.

Gu Xin's words were exactly what Dong Teng wanted. Seeing Li Siye's forehead slightly raised, he greeted the entourage, and then led the two of them upstairs.

On the second floor of Youyun Building, there are 290 sets of large and small private rooms, the large ones are two to three hundred square meters, and the small ones are also four to fifty square meters.

All the rooms are equipped with soundproof and spiritual restraints, which are specially used for monks to talk and trade in private.

The three of them sat down facing each other in the private room. Dong Teng was not in a hurry to talk, but took out the copper stove, teacups, teapots, tea cakes, tea knives, etc., and placed them on the table one by one, and then reddened them with his fingertips. The flame rose and instantly ignited the charcoal in the copper furnace.

Raise the fire to boil the water, swing the knife to pry the tea, the whole process is like flowing water, the knife is self-contained, concise and precise, not only the decisiveness of the military general on the battlefield, but also the meticulousness of the official literati.

Gu Xin often hangs out in social situations, so he naturally knows the tea making process well, and he is sitting with a smile on his face without being impatient.

And Li Si is not impatient. Although he knows the tea ceremony, he can still do it while sitting upright and pretending to be serious.

When the water in the pot boiled three times and the white air rose, Dong Teng slowly brewed tea, his style and posture were extraordinary.

"Both of you, please have some tea!"

At this moment, Dong Teng's voice is elegant and comfortable, like a young man in white from a Confucian and Taoist family. The image of a martial artist in the hall has disappeared completely.

Li Si couldn't figure out which one was the real Dong Teng, and there was no need to delve into it further. It was the Zhenbei Army group that invested in him, and Dong Teng was just the executor.

"Good tea, good tea. Dong Sima majored in "Kwai Shui Magic Art", and he is familiar with the flow of water waves to the extreme. Making tea is really overkill." Gu Xin drank it in one sip, and praised him repeatedly.

Li Si took a sip lightly, and suddenly felt his mouth fluid, and even the speed of mana flow in his body was significantly improved.

"Brother Gu, the prize is too high. The good thing is the tea, not my half-baked tea ceremony."

Dong Teng put down the teacup he had just taken a sip of, waved his hand modestly and said.

"The tea leaves are good, and the tea ceremony is even better. This Bingya Spirit Tea has powerful effects. I have to digest it quickly. Young Master Uncle and Dong Sima can talk slowly."

As soon as Gu Xin finished speaking, he clasped his fists and saluted, and strode out the door. At this moment, his mission as an intermediary has been completed, and it would be senseless to stay in the room any longer.

Li Si glanced at the figure going away, then shook his head and said with a light smile:

"A cup of tea sold my uncle, I can't trust this guy in the future!"

Dong Teng smiled and put down the teacup, took out a gift list from the storage bag, and said solemnly:

"Teng, on behalf of the Zhenbei Army, hopes to sign an alliance with Mr. Li, and join hands in the future to walk the road of longevity."

Although Dong Teng is talented in both civil and military affairs, most people who have been in the army for a long time don't like to talk in circles. As soon as Gu Xin left, he simply and neatly got to the point.

Li Si was startled for a moment, and then quickly realized that this was just a polite scene.

He is a mere cultivator in the Qi refining period, even if his combat power is a bit amazing, how can he have the qualifications to join hands with the Zhenbei Army?

"This servant is soft-spoken and has limited strength. It is extremely frightening to be valued by the Zhenbei Army. In the future, I hope Dong Sima will give me more advice. If there is any place where I need to serve, please speak up."

Li Si sat upright and said seriously.
