Chapter 373
Outside the Ma Family Manor, there are endless guests, most of them are representatives of the more prestigious families in China, including many powerful families. Even if they are not as good as the four major families in Beijing, their energy should not be underestimated. For example, among them are representatives of the Ye family and the Liu family in the Tiandu. It should be noted that the comprehensive strength of the Ye family and the Liu family is not inferior to that of the Ma family. It is definitely a top-notch family among the four major families in Beijing. There are so many people coming and the banquets are so grand.
It is worth mentioning that two representative figures of the Ye family came this time. Although both are Ye family, one is the Ye family in Shangdu and the Ye family in Xiangjiang. The Ye family in Shangdu tends to be power, and the Ye family in Xiangjiang focuses on money. In terms of power, the Ye family in Shangdu is more powerful. In terms of economic strength, the Ye family in Xiangjiang is slightly better. The comprehensive strength of the two Ye families is almost the same, but one is a famous family and the other is a new powerful. Therefore, in terms of heritage, the Ye family in Shangdu is a little richer and their connections are not comparable to the Ye family in Xiangjiang. However, the Ye family in Xiangjiang has a lot of potential, so no one dares to underestimate them.
The two Ye families are also called the Double Leaves of China.
This time, the Ma family held a banquet and invited wealthy families all over the world. Almost all those who were ranked first were invited. Except for some competitors, the Ma family invited them all, and even the four major families in the capital were invited, so today's Ma family is destined to be very lively.
Seeing Zhou Xing and his party standing outside the manor without entering, people passing by would occasionally point fingers and whisper to mock them, and their eyes looked at Zhou Xing and his party with disdain.
Perhaps, they thought that Zhou Xing and his group had no invitations, so they must have not been invited. They came over secretly and took the initiative to find that they needed invitations when they entered, so they were left outside.
Mo Yan couldn't stand the eyes of these people, and he had a feeling of rushing up to kill everyone who dared to despise him. Even if he didn't kill him, he had to beat him up to vent his depression. He wanted to tell everyone loudly: "We came here at the invitation of Ma's eldest daughter Ma Ling. We didn't come to take advantage of the troubled waters. If the young master hadn't owed Ma Ling a favor, even if everyone in the Ma family knelt in front of the young master, the young master might not agree to attend this Lao Shi's banquet!"
He wanted to clarify all this, but what made him depressed was that those people looked disdainful and contempt from afar, but they didn't say much. Even if they said it, they said in a very low voice. There was no direct provocation at all, so he had nothing to do except pretending not to hear or see.
"Hey. They are actually here too." When Mo Yan was upset, Zhou Xing's surprised voice came.
Hearing this, Mo Yan, Ling Ling and others turned to look and realized immediately.
In fact, among this group of people, Mo Yan and Ling Ling only knew one of them, and they felt that the other was quite familiar, while the other two were very strange and had never seen each other, but from the perspective of the four people's movements, clothing, temperament, etc., it is not difficult to guess their identities.
First of all, Qin Qiong, the head of the Qin family!
Three people walked side by side with him, two middle-aged and one old man.
One of the middle-aged people looks very much like Li Ze, but he is more mature and steady than Li Ze. He has a slightly dark skin and a calm temperament. He stands with Qin Qiong and chats and laughs. His identity is self-evident - Li Xiaotian, Li Ze's father, and the head of the Li family!
If you can walk side by side with them, the identities of the other two are naturally equal to them. Since that is the case, these two must be from the Deng family and the Jiang family. It is said that the Deng family is still in power now. The Deng family only has the head of the family and no patriarch, so the identity of this old man is about to emerge. Apart from the Deng family's old man Deng Weixian, who else can it be?
The identities of the first three have been clear, so the identity of the last one can be revealed. Only this one, Jiang Meng, the head of the Jiang family, can make people feel a little mysterious!
Behind the four people was a large group of bodyguards. These bodyguards were all elites of the four major families, and ordinary killers and mercenaries may not be their opponents!
They have never practiced ancient martial arts, nor have any other supernatural abilities, but they have mastered various fighting skills, gun skills, and external stimulation to improve their physical fitness to a limit and developed to the limit of ordinary people. Ordinary thirty or fifty people may not be able to defeat any of them!
Maybe they were too involved in chatting and didn't notice Zhou Xing and his group not far away.
Perhaps because of God's will, Zhou Xing and his group were always ignored, and even Xueer girl behind Zhou Xing was neglected.
"Fortunately they didn't notice us." Mo Yan felt relieved instead. He didn't want others to see the young master so embarrassed.
On the contrary, Zhou Xing's expression was consistent, with a faint smile on his face, staring at the manor gate.
...
"Miss, the banquet is about to begin, where are you going!" a middle-aged man guarding the gate suddenly shouted.
Ma Ling snorted: "I'll pick up a few friends, do you even have to worry about this?" After that, she looked around and saw Zhou Xing and her group. Although she was not sure if this was Zhou Xing, her eyes lit up and she trotted all the way.
The middle-aged man said anxiously: "Miss, no!"
But Ma Ling had already run away, and they could only frown and continue to stay wherever they were. After all, they could not give up their responsibilities in order to recover the lady. If some enemies sneak in a short while after they left, they would be redeemed for their sins.
"Hu...hu..." Ma Ling stood in front of Zhou Xing, took a few breaths, and said, "May I ask, you are..."
Zhou Xing rolled his eyes: "My eldest lady, you finally figured it out. Do you know that if you don't come out again, we will be despised by those people soon." He pointed to the crowd who walked into the manor one after another.
Ma Ling said awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I'm wrong with this matter, I didn't handle it in advance."
Lord Zhou Xing had a lot of people, and didn't have the same knowledge as this little girl. He waved, "Okay, don't say anything else, let's go, I don't want to stay here and be seen as a monkey."
"Yeah, please, Zhou, Zhou Xing, right?" Ma Ling hurriedly led the way, "I'll bother you this time."
Zhou Xing didn't be polite to her. He nodded and said, "It's indeed a bit troublesome. I'm so tired that I'm running so far. I won't come if I get this next time I'll kill you. Whoever loves to come? Anyway, I'd rather stay at home than run around." Look, isn't this a typical otakus?
When he arrived at the gate, Ma Ling was about to walk in with her group, but middle-aged man stopped Zhou Xing and others.
He said righteously: "Miss. I'm sorry, the above has given special instructions that people who are miscellaneous are not allowed to enter and exit the Ma family at will, especially on important days like today. If something happens, you can't afford it. Please forgive me."
These words made Mo Yan and others behind Zhou Xing look unhappy. Their faces also turned cold. The eyes of the middle-aged man looked at the middle-aged man with a very bad look, which made the middle-aged man feel cold all over after he finished saying this. He couldn't help but tremble, as if the weather suddenly turned into severe winter, and a trace of doubt and suspicion appeared on his face.
Ma Ling frowned deeply: "Captain Xiao, they are my friends. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I'm sorry, no matter whose friend they are, as long as there is no invitation, they are prohibited from entering the Ma family." Middle-aged man insisted: "Even if they are friends of the head of the family, or any elder's friend, it's not possible! This is the rule, and the younger ones must do things according to the rules."
"Rules?" Ma Ling snorted coldly, her pretty face turned cold, "I didn't see you telling the rules before, but now you're talking about the rules! Don't use your tricks to scare me. I, Ma Ling, have never been afraid of anyone. If you have sex, you can kill me on the spot. Otherwise, no one will stop me from taking my friends in today!"
After saying that, she pushed Captain Xiao aside with one hand, and said to Zhou Xing and others: "Go!"
Zhou Xing didn't care and walked in with her words. Instead, he had a more intuitive evaluation of Ma Ling: "This woman has a temper!"
Mo Yan and others also secretly gave a thumbs up in their hearts: "What a tomboy, this personality is my appetite!"
Frere, Falls and Lubus especially admired Ma Ling's personality. In the American Empire, such a woman was obviously more popular with everyone!
"Stop, Miss, please don't force us!" Captain Xiao's voice sank, with a little gunpowder in his tone. He dared not treat Ma Ling, but Ma Ling's friends could not guarantee whether he would treat them. "Although my subordinates dare not hurt you, you friends are not guests of the Ma family. You broke into the Ma family without invitation. According to the rules of the Ma family, your subordinates have the right to shoot them on the spot!" There was no lack of threat in his tone, "If the lady insists on taking them into it, then my subordinates can only say sorry. If you want to blame, you can only blame the eldest lady for not abide by the family rules. We just have no choice but to enforce the law. So, please think twice."
"Fuck!" Ma Ling cursed, ignoring her image at all. "When did the Ma family have this family rules? Why, as a child of the Ma family, I never know?"
The two argued, and neither side was willing to give in. Ma Ling had a reason to persevere, and Captain Xiao also had the need to persevere.
The quarrel here quickly attracted the attention of many people.
"Hey, look, weren't that group of people still outside the manor just now? Why did they suddenly quarrel with the security guard?"
"Who knows, but that little girl is so cute, hey, it's strange, why didn't I notice it just now?"
Qin Qiong, Li Xiaotian and others were talking in a low voice, but the farce that happened at this time and the noise around them forced them to stop and frowned and look in the direction of the quarrel. However, some people in the middle blocked their sight, so they could only vaguely see a few figures.
At this moment, a teasing voice sounded from behind Ma Ling: "Hahaha~ Haha! Miss Ma, are these helpers you invited?" This person is Ma Chao, who has always been against Ma Ling.
"Tsk tsk, only you, Miss Ma, will be regarded as treasures!"
Ma Chao walked up to Ma Ling and turned to Zhou Xing in a resentful gaze. Because Zhou Xing and his group were obviously led by Zhou Xing, he knew that this guy should be the person from the Hidden Family that Ma Ling mentioned. But he looked at it for a while, looked up and down, left and right, but couldn't tell at all. What little young man in front of him looked like the Hidden Family?
He guessed that Ma Ling probably didn't want to make a fool of herself, so she deliberately found such a group of people who pretended to be from the hidden family to save some of her lost face.
After thinking about this, he straightened out his thoughts and suddenly felt that everything could make sense. So he laughed out loud and said proudly: "Oh, this young master, I heard from Miss Ma, your name is Zhou Xing, right? I heard that Mr. Zhou is a young master of a hidden family, which is amazing! But how could such a powerful person as Mr. Zhou come to attend the banquet of our little Ma family? When did our Ma family have such a great face?" As he said that, he looked at Captain Xiao with a pretentious reproach.
"I said, Captain Xiao, this is your wrong thing. Master Zhou wants to join our Ma family. This is the glory of our Ma family and our luck. Not only do you not treat it well, but you will make things difficult for others. This will damage our Ma family's hospitality. More importantly, if you offend this Master Zhou, with the ability of Mr. Zhou, we might destroy our Ma family in minutes. In front of a powerful person like Mr. Zhou, how can our Ma family have any resistance?"
The tone of mocking inside and outside the words and the sarcastic voice directly made Mo Yan, Ling Ling and others angry!
Even Xueer looked at Ma Chao with disgust, her little palm tightly pinching her face, and her face looked very ugly.
"Don't move." Seeing that Mo Yan was about to rush forward, Zhou Xing stopped him and shook his head. Perhaps because he was afraid that Mo Yan and the others would misunderstand what he meant, he curled a smile on his lips and whispered: "The person who dared to mock this young master like this is Qin Feng who met abroad was one, and this kid was the second one! However, Qin Feng is my mother's nephew. In view of his good attitude towards admitting his mistakes, I can live without any blame, but the one in front of me, haha..."
A look of cruelty flashed in his eyes!
Ma Chao's words made Zhou Xing sentence him to death directly in his heart!
"The banquet has not started yet, so don't make it too bloody for the time being, otherwise you won't have the appetite to eat later." Zhou Xing continued: "After the banquet, those who have grudges will avenge others and those who have revenge will not be able to escape!" He looked up and saw many people around him laughing along with Ma Chao's sarcastic words just now, and he took all this in his eyes. He said slowly, "Eat more later, eat better, and eat well before you can have the strength to kill people!" When he said this, his expression was still smiling.
Because he stopped talking, Qin Qiong happened to hear what Ma Chao said, especially one of the extremely sensitive names!
He suddenly looked up and whispered, "I heard it right? It's not such a coincidence, right?"
"It shouldn't be him." Although he said so, Qin Qiong still stood up and walked over there. He needed to confirm his guess.
Strangely, Li Xiaotian was walking towards the other side just like him.
Deng Weixian and Jiang Meng were puzzled: "What are they?"
Passing through the crowd, when he saw the familiar voice and the bright smile on his face, Qin Qiong trembled: "Damn it, it's him!" The next moment, a thought came to his mind, "What's going to happen, something big is going to happen!" Although he didn't know the character of that person, he also knew some of the grievances and shames that even a person with a deep scheming could not bear it, let alone the lawless Lord!
Li Xiaotian couldn't recognize Zhou Xing, but he could guess the answer he wanted from Qin Qiong's face.
"It seems that things are going big!" Li Xiaotian's face froze and a terrible idea popped up. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
