The world of film and television begins from childhood

This caused everyone to roll their eyes, and Xia Dong even teased, "Yujin, what are you doing? Isn't your July 15th birthday not here yet?"

Yan Yujin shouted in dissatisfaction: "What is the Mid-Autumn Festival? It's the Chinese Valentine's Day, the Chinese Valentine's Day, Sister Dong."

Xia Dong: "The 15th day of the seventh lunar month is not much different from the Chinese Valentine's Day."

"It's a long way off, okay."

After some commotion, Xiao Jingrui snatched the Heart Protecting Pill back.

"Brother Su, such an expensive gift really costs you a lot of money."

Mei Changsu smiled and said, "Compared to Brother Yu's Feihong Sword, my ten Heart Protecting Pills are far inferior. I hope you don't mind."

"Brother Su, what are you talking about? I'm so happy that I can't express myself clearly." Xiao Jingrui said.

As everyone was talking, Xie Yu walked in with his family members in a grand manner.

Chapter 847 Birthday Banquet, Langya List Masters Duel

Xie Yu's family, plus all the invited guests, all took their seats.

There is naturally a story behind these seats. The owners of the seats, Ningguo Marquis Xie Yu and Princess Li Yang, naturally sat in the main seat in the middle.

Sitting on the left side below are Xiao Jingrui's other parents, Zhuo Dingfeng and his wife from Tianquan Villa. Below them are Zhuo Qingyao and Xie Qi, and after them are Xiao Jingrui and Xie Bi. This side is full of Xie Zhuo's family.

The first person sitting on the right is the commander-in-chief Meng Zhi. As the commander-in-chief of the imperial guards, his official position is no lower than Xie Yu. After him is Xia Dong, who is the chief mirror officer of the Xuan Jing Division. Although she is a woman, she also has a high status in the court.

After that came Mei Changsu, Yan Yujin and Zhou Chen Gongyu. None of the three of them entered officialdom. Mei Changsu was at least very famous and was Prince Yu's man.

As for Zhou Chen and Gong Yu, considering their status and position, they could only sit at the last seat.

Behind each person there was a servant kneeling, ready to pour wine and change dishes at any time.

Zhou Chen didn't care about these things. Anyway, he was not the protagonist today. He just had to be a handsome young man and wait for things to develop quietly.

The banquet began, and Xie Yu, the host, stood up first.

"I am humbled and honored to have you here. I am so ashamed to accept your presence. I will drink a glass of wine as a token of my respect. I will drink it first."

"please!"

After saying that, he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass. Everyone else also raised their glasses, but Xie Qi and Gong Yu did not drink wine, but tea.

Xie Yu sat down slowly and said with a smile on his face: "Since this is a private banquet, please don't be polite. I am not good at entertaining guests. Please make yourself at your service."

Then he looked at Meng Zhi and said, "Commander-in-Chief Meng, I want to toast you with this first glass of wine."

Meng Zhi held the cup with both hands: "Thank you, Lord Marquis, please."

"please!"

In the original plot, Xia Dong wanted to test Zhuo Dingfeng's swordsmanship, so he specifically proposed to compete with Zhuo Dingfeng, and the two fought at the banquet.

However, Xia Dong has already been a member of Zhou Chen's team. He is very clear about everything and knows that Zhuo Dingfeng is the murderer of the eunuch, so he naturally will not deliberately propose a competition.

After drinking with Meng Zhi, Xie Yu looked at Xia Dong again: "Master Xia Dong, this second glass of wine is for you. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend my son's birthday. Please."

Xia Dong raised his glass: "Thank you, Lord Marquis, please."

At this time, Princess Li Yang, who was in the main seat, suddenly leaned next to Xie Yu and whispered something in his ear, and Xie Yu kept nodding.

"Everyone, a banquet cannot be without music. Miss Gong Yu from Miaoyinfang is here. Why don't you ask her to play a song to wash away the dust of the world for us?"

Then Xie Yu looked at Zhou Chen and Gong Yu with a smile on his face.

This had been agreed upon before coming here, so Zhou Chen didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He nodded at Gong Yu.

Gong Yu first glanced at Zhou Chen, then bowed gracefully and said, "My Lord, thank you for your kindness. Although Gong Yu is not talented, I am willing to help everyone."

Seeing Gong Yu agreed, everyone smiled and applauded.

The servants quickly brought out an antique guqin. Gong Yu walked to the guqin and slowly sat down.

"I present a song of Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix, please enjoy it."

Then Gong Yu began to play. Feng Qiu Huang is an ancient song. Even people who are not good at music have heard of this song.

The song Feng Qiu Huang is very special. Some people may hear it as sadness, while others may hear it as joy. Different people have different feelings.

Gong Yu's piano skills are very good, and it is easy for people who love music to be immersed in it, just like Princess Li Yang who is sitting in the main seat at this time.

Her expression suddenly became very sad, and as the music played, tears flowed uncontrollably.

Xie Yu, who was beside her, obviously had a bad look on his face. He had been with Princess Li Yang for more than 20 years, and he knew her too well.

So he knew very well why Li Yang cried while listening to the music, and these tears were not shed for him.

A strong man like him must really love Li Yang, so he would be so indulgent and pretend to be deaf and dumb most of the time, because he just wants to keep Princess Li Yang by his side forever.

The piano music stopped and everyone was silent for a long time.

Finally, it was Mei Changsu who broke the silence and said, "Miss Gong's poem, The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix, is so full of emotion that it makes our hearts flutter."

While speaking, he looked at Princess Li Yang who was sitting in the main seat with a profound gaze.

Xie Yu's face became even uglier. He didn't want to be embarrassed any longer, so he said, "Ms. Gong is indeed very talented, but today is a wedding day, and it is really not appropriate to listen to too many sad songs. I heard that Master Chen Yu is a great poet. On such a wedding day, I wonder if Master Chen is willing to write a poem?"

Zhou Chen was also surprised to see Xie Yu actually brought the topic to himself.

Xiao Jingrui quickly excused Zhou Chen: "Father, this poem cannot be written in a short time. Brother Yu has already given me the Feihong Sword as a gift, so how can I ask him to write a poem for me? Let Miss Gong Yu play another cheerful song."

Xie Yu didn't listen. He regarded Mei Changsu as an enemy, and Zhou Chen was on good terms with Mei Changsu, so he had no good feelings towards Zhou Chen at all.

"Mr. Chen, although I am a warrior, I have read a few of your poems, which are quite good. I believe that Mr. Chen's on-the-spot creation ability must be even better. Don't you agree, Mr. Chen?"

There was a gleam in Zhou Chen's eyes. Xie Yu didn't want to see Princess Li Yang sad, so he brought the line of fire to his side. His intentions were really sinister.

"Since Lord Xie has said so, I will think about it carefully."

Xie Yu was satisfied and said, "Mr. Chen, don't be anxious. Writing poems and lyrics requires careful consideration. Don't be anxious. Don't be anxious."

After saying this, he was about to ask everyone to continue drinking, but suddenly a servant came running over in a hurry, shouting as he ran.

"My Lord, My Lord, My Lord, there are guests outside."

Seeing the servants rashly running in in front of so many guests, Xie Yu shouted angrily, "What guests? Can't you see that I am entertaining guests? You are so flustered. How can you behave? Didn't I tell you that I would close the door to visitors?"

The servant was so frightened that he didn't dare to raise his head. He lowered his head and said, "We can't stop them. They have already come in..."

Before he could finish his words, a deep male voice suddenly sounded.

"I already have an old agreement with you, Brother Zhuo, why are you refusing to see me? Are you staying at the Ningguo Marquis' Mansion to avoid my challenge?"

I saw a man with gray hair, strong and sturdy build, holding a sword in his hand, walking into the hall with the gait of a dragon and a tiger.

Behind him followed a man and a woman, both of whom were dressed luxuriously, and the woman was wearing a mask. It was obvious at a glance that they were not simple people.

As soon as Xie Yu saw the man who was speaking, he quickly stood up and shouted, "Master Yue!"

Xie Yu's face was gloomy and he took a few steps forward, while Zhuo Dingfeng and others also stood up and looked at the person who came.

"Master Yue, do you know that the place you are standing in is my private residence? You broke in without permission and are so arrogant and rude. Who do you think I am? Are you so ignorant of etiquette in the court of Southern Chu?"

Before Yue Xiu Ze could say anything, the elegantly dressed young man behind him came out shouting.

"It's unfair, it's unfair, it's unfair. Yue Xiu Ze resigned from the post of the commander of the palace half a month ago. He is now just a commoner, a gangster. If Lord Xie is dissatisfied with him, just settle accounts with him, but don't drag our Nanchu court into this."

Xie Yu stared at the young man coldly: "Your Highness Prince Ling, you are considered a member of the Southern Chu court, right? You rushed in as well, don't you also know how to behave?"

Nan Chuling Wang Yuwenxuan had an innocent look on his face: "I didn't rush in. Let me make it clear that we are not together with Yue Xiu Ze. I heard that today is Master Xiao's birthday, and I thought that we are acquaintances, so I prepared a small gift to celebrate his birthday and to curry favor with Lord Xie."

Xie Yu's face was gloomy, and he said coldly: "Uninvited guests like you are not welcome in my mansion. Please leave as soon as possible, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

He could tell at a glance that Yue Xiu Ze and Yu Wen Xuan had ill intentions, so he didn't want to give them a chance to speak and just wanted to force them back.

But Yue Xiu Ze didn't give him face at all. Instead, he looked at Zhuo Dingfeng who was beside Xie Yu and said, "Challenging face to face is the rule of the martial arts world. For this reason, I even resigned from my position in the court. If Brother Zhuo wants to shirk his responsibility, at least he should say something soft. Allowing others to protect you like this is really not the Brother Zhuo I know. Could it be that since you became a relative of Lord Xie, you are no longer considered a member of the martial arts world?"

How could a man like Zhuo Dingfeng endure such rude sarcasm? He took a step forward and was about to speak, but was held back by Xie Yu. To give Xie Yu face, he could only stop with an indignant look on his face.

Xie Yu whispered in his ear, asking him to calm down. He felt that Meng Zhi and Xia Dong came here to investigate the murder of the eunuch, so he didn't want Zhuo Dingfeng to take action.

Because Yue Xiu Ze is also a strong man on the Langya Master List, although Zhuo Dingfeng ranks higher, if they fight, he will have to go all out, and it will be easy for Meng Zhi and Xia Dong to see his flaws, so he doesn't want Zhuo Dingfeng to take action at all.

Seeing that Zhuo Dingfeng was slow to speak, Yue Xiu Ze took a few steps forward and performed the etiquette of the underworld.

"Brother Zhuo, please."

Zhuo Dingfeng was conflicted after hearing what Xie Yu said. To be honest, he wanted to accept this challenge, but Xie Yu was right. Once he fought with Yue Xiu Ze, he would not be able to hide the edge of his sword, and it would definitely be exposed to Meng Zhi and Xia Dong, who would then associate him with the murderer of the eunuch.

Meng Zhi winked at Xia Dong, who nodded and was about to speak when Zhuo Dingfeng spoke first.

"Brother Yue, today is my son's birthday. Can we meet again on another day?"

Yue Xiu Ze flatly refused: "No."

Zhuo Dingfeng asked in confusion: "Why?"

In his opinion, it was just a matter of changing the time, so why did Yue Xiu Ze disagree?

Yue Xiu Ze said in a deep voice: "The emperor of our dynasty only allows me to resign for half a year. Within half a year, I can freely look for opponents outside, so I don't have much time."

Zhuo Dingfeng said, "How about we change it to tomorrow? It's only one day, you won't be in such a hurry, right?"

Yue Xiu Ze said, "The night is long and dreams are many. Who knows what will happen tonight? Who knows if there will be a tomorrow? Since we have met now, why not end it immediately? A martial arts competition is not a dangerous thing. Can it ruin your son's birthday party?"

"So according to what you mean, Brother Yue, this should be ended right now?"

"good."

Seeing Zhuo Dingfeng was a little bit unsteady, Xie Yu shouted angrily, "How dare you! Today is my son's birthday party, and there are so many distinguished guests. How can I allow you to act wildly here?"

Meng Zhi suddenly interrupted and said, "Thank you, Lord. This battle of Tianquan Eyun is not something you can watch just because you want to. I don't mind. You can also watch it. Lord Xia, Master Chen, what do you think?"

Xia Dong immediately smiled and said, "I am also looking forward to having this blessing."

Zhou Chen also smiled and said: "Tianquan Eyun are both masters who rank ahead of me, so of course I am interested as well."

Xie Yu snorted coldly, "Of course you three won't mind, but with the women present today, it would be inappropriate to show off your weapons."

"Somebody come!"

"exist."

In an instant, a team of soldiers in armor rushed over.

Seeing this scene, Yue Xiu Ze said in a deep voice: "Brother Zhuo, you should know best whether I am here to challenge you or to cause trouble. Please give me an accurate answer whether to accept the challenge or not."

Xie Yu roared without any hesitation: "Get out."

The palace soldiers immediately put their weapons in hand and slowly approached Yue Xiu Ze and the other two.

Seeing that he was about to take action, Zhuo Dingfeng couldn't help himself and shouted loudly: "Stop it."

Then he turned and looked at Xie Yu: "Please forgive me, Brother Xie. After all, I am a man of the martial arts world. Brother Yue and I are both in the Langya List. I cannot refuse his challenge."

Xie Yu eagerly grabbed Zhuo Dingfeng's hand, and kept signaling with his eyes: "Today is not a good day."

Zhuo Dingfeng understood what he meant and said in a deep voice: "Brother Xie, don't worry, I will handle it properly."

Xie Yu also understood what he meant, so he said, "Okay, then Brother Zhuo, you have to be very careful."

With Zhuo Dingfeng's agreement, the birthday banquet was suspended. Yue Xiu Ze and Zhuo Dingfeng both came out of the house. The two of them stood facing each other with swords in hand, staring at each other.

Gong Yu had already retreated to Zhou Chen's side, and Zhou Chen whispered to her, "Be careful later."

Gong Yu nodded. She knew that after the competition was over, it would be her time to make her debut.

Yue Xiu Ze and Zhuo Ding Feng finally started fighting. As the challenger, Yue Xiu Ze took the lead in attacking. His sword was as fast as the wind and he killed Zhuo Ding Feng in the blink of an eye.

"Dang Dang Dang..."

The two men quickly exchanged more than ten moves. Yue Xiu Ze attacked fiercely, but Zhuo Ding Feng did not fight back at all. He just defended blindly without attacking at all. Yue Xiu Ze was so angry that he shouted at Zhuo Ding Feng, wanting him to fight back.

Although Zhuo Dingfeng is two places higher than Yue Xiu Ze, his strength does not necessarily mean he is stronger than Yue Xiu Ze, so blindly defending makes him feel very frustrated.

After all, he is also a master on the Langya Master List, and he is proud in his heart. If it weren't for Xie Yu's instructions, he probably wouldn't have been able to resist taking action.

Finally, under Yue Xiu Ze's aggressive attack, he couldn't help but resist. He quickly used his special move and was about to fight back. But when he was about to make a move, he saw Xie Yu's eyes and his heart tightened. He could no longer complete the action in one go.

Yue Xiu Ze also seized the opportunity and quickly attacked Zhuo Ding Feng. At the last moment, Zhuo Ding Feng changed his sword moves and took the initiative to crash into Yue Xiu Ze's sword.

"Shh!"

Yue Xiu Ze's sword cut Zhuo Ding Feng's wrist. Zhuo Ding Feng lost control of the sword and it fell to the ground, covering his wrist. Yue Xiu Ze also stopped his attack in time.
