Chapter 63 Banquet
Fenghua Tower.
The five-story high-rise building rises from the ground and has jade railings. In terms of grandeur, it is no less than a noble house.
As soon as Shen Yi and two other people arrived at Fenghua Building, they were led into the building by a wealthy slave, who went up level by level until they reached the top floor.
There were no other guests on every floor along the way. Only guards wearing armor and swords stood one after another. The standard leather armor of the same color proved their status as city guards.
When they arrived at the hall on the top floor, they saw that the tables and seats had been prepared, and a young man in white robe was sitting at the head of the table, with a smile on his face and an elegant look.
This man is none other than the disciple of the Sword God. Before the age of eighteen, he was too weak and sick to practice martial arts. After the age of eighteen, he made rapid progress. In just three years, he was ranked fifth in the "Sword Master" Baichou.
His name was "Chou", but there was no trace of sorrow between his eyebrows and eyes, and his handsome and handsome face was filled with humility. When he saw Shen Yi and Wu Yin arriving, Bai Chou immediately stood up, clasped his fists and said, "You two..."
·It’s really a blessing for Mr. Bai that the three of you are willing to come to the banquet. Please take a seat.”
As soon as he stood up, a long sword with a wooden sheath on his waist came into view.
The scabbard is made of wood with dragon patterns and cloud seals on it, but the hilt is made of purple sand and copper, giving it a low and solemn feeling.
This sword is called "Jinghong", and it is the sword worn by "Sword God" Mo Wentian when he was young. It was passed to Baichou after he officially started practicing.
Seeing that he was also treated as a guest, Brother Hu happily tugged at the corner of Shen Yi's clothes with his paws and whispered: "Junior brother, this Bai Donor is a good man."
"Your kindness is worthless."
Shen Yi whispered back and looked at the others calmly.
Apart from Bai Chou, there were three other people at the banquet at this moment.
"Rong Bai will introduce the three of you. This one is Brother Shen Chenyun of the Tianhe Sword Sect."
Baichou stretched out his hand and introduced the young master, who was wearing a silver brocade robe, a silver crown on his head, and holding a jade flute.
"This one is the son of Lord Zhou, the commander-in-chief of the county, brother Zhou Xiao and brother Zhou."
The young master, who was dressed in Confucian robes and a scholar's attire, but with a sword at his waist, cupped his fists and saluted casually, looked rather arrogant.
His appearance also let Shen Yi know why the soldiers from the city defense camp appeared here.
As for another court figure in the county, Shangguanming, the son of the late governor Shangguan Pei, is not here. Shangguan Pei has just had his funeral. If Shangguanming dares to attend the banquet at Fenghua Tower, he will probably be there tomorrow in the county.
Will spread gossip about a certain filial son.
"And this one is the young leader of the Dajiang Gang, Brother Xiongtu Xiong."
Xiongtu stood up and clasped his fists.
Sword Pavilion, Dajiang Clan, Tianhe Sword Sect, well, the three parties that fought fiercely at Linglong Iron Temple are all here.
Including the son of the county captain Zhou Ziwu, this Fenghua Tower banquet looks like a Hongmen banquet.
"There is one more..."
Bai Chou wanted to introduce him again. A figure hurriedly walked into the hall and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm late. Taishilou Lei Da Zhuang has met all of you."
Lei Dazhuang, an old acquaintance, saluted everyone with clasped fists and kept saying he was sorry.
"I don't need to introduce you further. I'm already acquainted with Little Master Wuwu."
Lei Dazhuang walked to the seat next to Shen Yi and sat down, looking familiar.
His arrival eased the gradually tense atmosphere and prevented the banquet from going directly to the Hongmen Banquet.
However, Shen Yi knew that although Lei Dazhuang was not an accomplice of the others, his stance was biased.
From the secret book obtained from the corpse of the middle-aged scribe, it can be seen that Taishilou has been paying close attention to all matters in the world. It may be Emperor Daxuan's eyes and ears to monitor the world.
After Lei Dazhuang arrived, no one else appeared in the hall except the servants serving on the side. The soldiers of the patrol camp were all guarding outside the hall, and the older masters from all parties did not show up.
At least, as Kong Kong said before, Wan Shanliu of the Ojiang Gang who was so angry that he wanted to beat him up on the spot was not there.
I just don’t know if Bai Chou, Lei Dazhuang, and Shen Chenyun of the Hejian Sect had any elders protecting them that day.
The food and wine were all served, all vegetarian, and the exquisite dishes made the big tiger salivate.
"Everyone, let's talk while eating."
From ancient times to the present, the culture of the wine table can be said to be unique in the East, and it has not stopped even in this ancient world. Baichou was the first to move quickly and said to everyone.
"Junior brother, can you eat it?" Senior Brother Hu asked Shen Yi immediately.
"Eat."
Shen Yi smiled and said, "Anyway, we are just here for a formality."
The thoughts of Baichou and even the others were nothing more than a few points.
1. Meet Lin Feng.
Second, let those who are under house arrest from the three factions be released from prison as soon as possible.
Third, of course, we have to find the two people who committed crimes in the county today - Tian Xia Invincible and the Faceless Sword Ghost.
Regarding the above three points, Shen Yi said that they were all dreaming, and it was absolutely impossible to agree without a reason. To put it bluntly, this night banquet was just a banquet of wrangling, and there would be no results in the end.
Shen Yi and Big Tiger only had to eat and drink, and give Wu Yin a strong reputation at critical moments. The rest was all up to Wu Yin's performance.
After hearing this, Brother Hu immediately lowered his head and started eating without any hesitation.
Its behavior immediately caused Zhou Xiaotong, who was sitting opposite, to change his expression, obviously seeing the other person's perfunctory intentions.
He picked up the kuaizi and moved Su Zhai, then put it down directly and said with a sneer: "It's really rare that people can share the same table with animals. This is really the first time that Zhou has seen it."
Although this young master had the foresight to see the perfunctory behavior on Shen Yi's side, he was obviously not someone who could keep his composure. After realizing that it was difficult to achieve his goal, he began to ridicule him.
"Amitabha," Shen Yi gently pressed Brother Hu's back, touched him comfortingly, and said, "In the eyes of monks, all living beings are equal and there is no distinction between high and low. It doesn't matter whether they are humans or animals."

He looked at Zhou Xiaotong with a smile, and his peaceful and equal eyes made Zhou Xiaotong extremely angry.
"How dare you scold me!" Zhou Xiaotong slammed the table angrily.
When Shen Yi spoke, he stared at Zhou Xiaotong. The meaning could not be more obvious. In his eyes, Zhou Xiaotong was no different from an animal.
Of course, no matter what he meant, he would not directly express his anger. Seeing Zhou Xiaotong's anger, Shen Yi was surprised and said: "Why did Zhou Almsgiver say this? The young monk just said a Buddhist principle, but he had nothing against Zhou Almsgiver."
I don’t mean to say that donor Zhou is a beast. It’s just equality, equality!”
Wu Yin beside him was slightly stunned when he saw this, and then chose to remain silent.
If you can make the other party take the initiative to turn against you, you can save yourself the trouble of wrangling.
Shen Yi's words were like hiding a needle in the cotton wool. When Zhou Xiaotong heard this, his anger became even more intense. He immediately wanted to throw a cup as a signal and called out five hundred swordsmen and axes to chop Shen Yi down.
