Chapter 204 Langya Discusses the Sword
The whole place was shocked.

Even the person who was sprayed was stunned and speechless.

He also said that the Devil's Cult has no quality, but this Zhao Changhe is the one who performs live. What is real lack of quality!Uh, no, it's none of your business after all, is Xia Chichi your wife?
Suzaku stood on the roof in the distance, looking at the gate of the banquet hall from a distance, his eyes were also a little shocked.

The Four Elephant Cult is a demon sect, of course it offended a lot of people. It is not surprising that some people will find trouble when the saintess ostentatiously participates in this kind of banquet.Although it couldn't be Xia Chichi's fault, she hasn't done such a thing yet, but it's normal for someone to seek trouble.

Didn't Xia Chichi also say that a few days ago, what should I do if I am bullied?Suzaku replied at the time, there is your most reliable arm in it.

But Suzaku didn't expect that this was more than a helping hand, Zhao Changhe's calf protector was so explosive.It seems that in his eyes, there is no difference between bullying Xia Chichi and directly slapping him on the ear.

Although Zhao Changhe has a fierce reputation in Jianghu nowadays, he has already started to have a reputation as a hero, so he doesn't care at all.

No wonder the slow love is unforgettable and headache.

In a state of astonishment, the man finally said coldly: "Everyone said that Zhao Changhe had long since betrayed the Blood God Sect, and that he was able to send weak girls home and kill Maitreya's vanguard. In fact, the so-called betrayal of the Blood God Sect is also open to discussion... The Four Elephant Sect is your superior, right? Otherwise, why are you so eager to show it in front of your master?"

Zhao Changhe sneered and said: "I have always been a gangster, who bothers to put on airs with you? Speaking of quality, how others dress is their freedom. The master didn't say anything. When will it be your turn to talk? This is your quality. ? Tell me your last name, and see whose family's children are so uneducated."

"You!" The man jumped up, pointed at Zhao Changhe and was about to say something, the young master finally smiled slightly: "At the next birthday banquet, everyone, don't make noise here, give me some face."

The man looked at Wang Zhaoling in surprise, Wang Zhaoling's smile remained unchanged.

The man could only sit down resentfully and didn't say anything more.

Both Zhao Changhe and his wife saw this detail and laughed in their hearts.

How can there be such a mentally retarded who doesn't care about the situation, even if he has an enmity with the Four Elephant Sect, and Xia Chichi doesn't recognize this person, so there is no such thing as a big enmity, the person who really has an enmity is holding back... This person It is obvious that what he did was at the behest of Wang Zhaoling.

There is absolutely no other reason for this instruction, the only one is to deliberately test Zhao Changhe.Zhao Changhe's identity should be a matter of great caution to the Wang family.

It is not only to test the relationship between Zhao Changhe and Xia Chichi, but also to test his temper. Is it a test now?

Either way, it's best to be regarded as a rude and reckless guy, this persona is too easy to use.

Zhao Changhe simply said louder: "I am willing to give face to the master, it seems that I am not the one who doesn't give face, who is the one who barks in front of the master first?"

The man glared at him, and Wang Zhaoling waved his hands: "This is my good friend, Brother Lu Bingcheng from Fanyang's Lu family, who is ranked No. 20 in Qianlong. Brother Lu is also protecting my face. After all, the regular banquet guests do not wear masks. I forgot about it for a while." Like the teaching practice, I apologize for brother Lu, everyone take a step back, how about taking your seats?"

Zhao Changhe secretly said that it was not the Lu family that was powerful, but Wang Zhaoling's attitude.

Because Fan Yanglu's name sounds like a bluff, but in fact, Fan Yanglu in this world is seriously branded. If you order food, it may not be better than the Tang family, or even worse. Although their family may be better than the Tang family in general, they have no place. Top three.Compared with the Wang family, it is not even an order of magnitude.

How can Wang Zhaoling be an arrogant and domineering brain-dead son?This makes Lu Bingcheng not regard him as his own brother?

Including himself, Zhao Changhe, it doesn't matter how irritable he was just now, if he insists on getting angry now, it will be unreasonable in the eyes of others.

He turned his head to see what Xia Chichi said, but he saw the little tiger standing quietly by the side all the time, like a little daughter-in-law, completely letting him play. Seeing him looking over, there was a smile in his beautiful eyes, that means you decide just fine.

Zhao Changhe also smiled, cupped his hands and said, "A rough man is not polite, let everyone see it as a joke."

Wang Zhaoling said, "Sit at will, first come first served, there is no seating arrangement."

After such a long time, Zhao Changhe has already seen the situation in the hall clearly. This is a huge banquet hall, but there are not many seats. Wang Zhaoling sits in the main seat, and the two rows of tables and chairs on the left and right extend all the way to the door. They are all single people. Single table.

The vast area behind the two rows of tables and chairs is full of musicians, dancers, etc., who are preparing to play there.

It seems very casual to say that you can sit at random, unlike the aristocratic family that pays attention to ranking and status. In fact, there is no way to do it when you think about it-Cui Yuanyang is here, and she is only in the nineties according to Qianlong's ranking. Put her seat back?The Cui family will never end with you.But let her sit on the left and right guest seats, what about the other people who rank higher than her? Are you inviting a Qianlong banquet or a family banquet?

In the end, I simply sat casually, and seemed free and generous.

Zhao Changhe looked around for a position, and the first thing he saw was Cui Yuanyang.

The little girl lives directly in Wang's house, so of course she has already arrived at the hall.She didn't sit in the first guest seat at all, but chose to sit in the very middle, reckoning that it was the corresponding position of Qianlong 99, and then sat there quietly, lightly lifting her cloud sleeve, pouring tea for herself.The farce just now didn't seem to be in her eyes at all, and the ranking of the seats was even more cloudy, her eyebrows were lowered, she was quiet and elegant, she was such a lady.

Quite a few people looked at her secretly, a little admiringly, but no one was ashamed to sit beside her.

Zhao Changhe's cheeks twitched, and he almost couldn't laugh out loud.

Who said she can't act, at least playing a lady is a basic skill since she was a child.But why do you play like this?

He thought about it, and felt that what he had to do with his own personality was also very simple, so he walked directly to the empty seat on Cui Yuanyang's right, and sat down with a little embarrassment, as if he wanted to look at Cui Yuanyang, and looked down at the table a little embarrassedly.

Xia Chichi was stunned for a moment before he realized that this guy was playing the role of a quack who wanted to eat swan meat and was driven away. Of course you are welcome to stay by Miss Cui's side if you have the opportunity. This expression is so vivid.Absolutely, when did you have special training in acting?

What's more amazing is that Cui Yuanyang raised his eyes slightly, and quickly glanced at the uninvited guest beside him. He was a little flustered and shy, his cheeks blushed unconsciously, but he kept his mouth shut and kept drinking slowly with his head down, holding his teacup to hide his sense of bewilderment.The ladylike appearance of being pursued by suitors and being at a loss is also amazing.

The small mouth under the white tiger mask was half-opened for a long time, Xia Chichi finally let out a "hum", and sat down on the right side of Zhao Changhe again.

Just now he seemed to be standing out for his wife, but in the blink of an eye it turned into cheating face to face. Xia Chichi gritted his silver teeth and silently helped the green jade hairpin on his head, but found that he didn't even know what to say.

Quite a few people are paying attention here, including Wang Zhaoling.Seeing this appearance, everyone was a little funny, secretly thinking that this Zhao Changhe is also strange, his ranking is not high, and his practice is not top-notch, how come he automatically attracts everyone's attention as soon as he appears, like the protagonist on the stage .

Wang Zhaoling said intentionally: "Sister Yuanyang, is it convenient? Do you want to sit with brother Wei?"

"No, no need." Cui Yuanyang whispered: "This is the banquet of Qianlong, and it should be in the order of Qianlong. Yuanyang is only 99, no, it is inconvenient to be in a high position."

Wang Zhaoling said, "There is no such rule."

"Yuanyang has it in his heart." Cui Yuanyang quickly glanced at Zhao Changhe again, and lowered his head again: "Besides, Brother Zhao is kind to Yangyang..."

She paused, as if she had made a difficult decision, and saluted Zhao Changhe earnestly: "Yuan Yang has met Brother Zhao, and it's been a long time since he's still handsome, Yuan Yang is not very happy."

Xia Chichi hissed, his teeth were about to ache.

Zhao Changhe was dumbfounded, remembering what he said a few days ago, "Your acting skills will reveal your secrets", and now he feels that he is not a protagonist, but a clown.

Wang Zhaoling said leisurely: "If the information we know is correct, in fact, the relationship between Xia Shengnv and Brother Zhao is not shallow, right? That's why Brother Zhao was so angry just now."

Zhao Changhe's cold sweat was about to drip down, but Xia Chichi, who had been silent all this time, finally said calmly: "Prince Qianlong's banquet, is it just to find out about the family background of Qianlong's parents?"

"Where?" Wang Zhaoling said with a smile, "Isn't this the banquet that hasn't started yet? Many people haven't arrived yet. Everyone is just chatting casually."

"Since it's a casual chat, how about chatting with me?" Xia Chichi said leisurely: "It is said that Cui Wang is getting married, and his younger sister is going to marry Cui Yuanyong. Does the prince intend to marry Miss Cui?"

Zhao Changhe pricked up his ears. He didn't know whether Xia Chichi was giving Cui Yuanyang eye drops in the Shura field, or asking him the most concerned question.

But Wang Zhaoling laughed and said: "How can there be such a marriage? Although my family and the Cui family are close, they are not tied together. There are very few people who do this."

The implication is that the marriage of each of their children corresponds to a political resource, and his marriage can draw one more ally, and there is no reason to repeat the family.

Xia Chichi nodded and said nothing more.Zhao Changhe's heart also relaxed. If you don't covet Yangyang, then we don't have any enmity. Even if you want to be independent, theoretically it has nothing to do with us.

But Wang Zhaoling laughed again: "But there are quite a lot of other young and handsome people who admire sister Yuanyang. Brother Zhao is like the protagonist on the stage when he comes. It's not without reason. It's a bit...resentful, haha."

"哐!" There was the sound of a wine jug smashing on the table from the bottom corner, and Situ Xiao's drunken voice spread throughout the audience: "Where's the wine? Who the hell is bothered to listen to the show here, if you don't serve any more wine, I'm leaving!"

Zhao Changhe yelled secretly, well done.

In this hypocritical temptation, it's annoying, what exactly is your royal family going to do, why not find out now.

His identity is sensitive, no matter how reckless he is, it's not appropriate to talk like this, but this drunk pretends to be crazy by being drunk, which is just right.

Just at this time, a large group of people came from the bustling outside. The so-called Banquet of Qianlong did not have more than 250 people present, but in fact there were only dozens of people. In this way, almost all of them have arrived.

Wang Zhaoling also put away his smile, and said lightly: "Actually, at this banquet, many people guessed that it was to test the sword, etc... I am dissatisfied with you, there is indeed a part of the meaning of the sword test, but maybe everyone doesn't believe it. It's just getting to know the heroes of the world."

"Although our generation is rich in resources, it is not convenient to practice. Once we go out, there will be dangers everywhere, and the deadly malice is far beyond ordinary people. Maybe it is Xia Shengnv?" Wang Zhaoling smiled apologetically at Xia Chichi, expressing his joke, and said: "Bring a strong guard. The meaning of experience is gone. If you don't bring a guard, your family will not agree. Sister Yuanyang must have a sympathy for this."

"So we boarded Qianlong, perhaps because of our family background, it was easier than ordinary people, but it became more difficult to break through the limitations of heaven and man, and penetrate into the mysteries of secret treasures. Not to mention making friends with the world's heroes and seeking confidantes in the wild , has become a luxury. What else can I do besides hosting a banquet?"

After talking for so long, someone finally asked: "Young Master, if you want to invite guests and make friends, wouldn't everyone be happy if you invite them politely? Why set various thresholds? It's weighing and closing the door. If you can't make friends, you will offend others."

Wang Zhaoling laughed: "Don't say that Wang is arrogant. He can't even handle it under the weight of the servants. It's not worth handing over. And the closing of the door has another meaning. Please forgive me for letting it go. Of course, if you are unhappy , Wang is here to make amends."

Wang Zhaoling raised his glass and stood up, punished himself three times happily, then turned the wine glass upside down, and said with a smile: "If you talk about trying the sword, not only Wang wants to try it, but don't all of you here have the wish to learn from each other? Longbang, but it is difficult to see each other, Yuan Yong brother wanted to challenge Yue Hongling, how much manpower was mobilized to find Yue Hongling's whereabouts, and then traveled thousands of miles to Beimang, how inconvenient is it?"

Situ Xiao finally raised his head from the wine cup, his eyes were bare.

Wang Zhaoling said loudly: "Central Plains Qianlong, drinking wine and discussing martial arts, Langya's grand ceremony! If this event takes place, the Langya Wang family would like to host such a sword discussion every few years. I wonder if you are interested?"

Everyone shouted: "Good idea!"

Zhao Changhe smiled slightly, looked down at the wine glass on the table, his eyes were faintly rippling.

This royal family has a wild heart.
