That night, Xiyuan Township was more lively than ever.

A grand bonfire was lit on the ring, and a circle below was filled with all kinds of food—roasted half of pork, beef legs taller than a man, various wild fruits unique to the mountains, and vegetables grown by various families.

.

Cooked with various spices, the aroma is overflowing.

The wine that I was reluctant to drink before was brought out and everyone had a share.

Laughter and laughter floated over Xiyuan Township, as if this was the happiest place.

Ying Shaolong sat on the main seat, surrounded by clusters of flowers, and the most sumptuous food was placed on the table.

The most interesting thing on the table is a plate of brown mushrooms, which have a unique flavor and are paired with spicy side dishes to arouse people's appetite.

This kind of mushroom, called purple forest fungus, grows on the cliff.

After a night of rain, it will grow in the morning and dissolve by itself in the evening. It is a very rare game.

It is more precious than any kind of meat on Shang Mountain.

Although there is only a small plate, hundreds of people may have been hanging on the cliff all day to find one.

But even if it was so precious, Ying Shaolong couldn't afford it.

Because people kept coming to toast.

Regarding the toasting matter, when Ying Shaolong was chatting, he mentioned Daxia Country’s wine table culture.

"Master Ao, don't say anything anymore, it's all in the wine!"

"It's all in the wine."

"In the wine, drink!"

The toasts were flowing like water, and almost everyone said something similar.

"Shaolong, is this the custom of going down the well?" Ning Ying sat next to Ying Shaolong, looking at the long toasting team behind her, she couldn't help but sweat for Ying Shaolong.

Even if you just drink water and be greeted by so many people one by one, it would be quite embarrassing.

"No, this habit..." Ying Shaolong didn't know where to start explaining.

This is not how Daxia toasts.

The person next to me explained: "Miss Ning Ying, this is a habit in Ao Shao's hometown. She will have a drink alone with people she respects."

Ning Ying nodded in understanding: "It's a bit similar to the Central Tower."

She took another look at the endless queue and felt something was a little different.

After all, people won’t wait in such a long line...

But it was this scene that fully demonstrated Ying Shaolong's importance in the hearts of everyone in Xiyuan Township.

Ning Ying glanced at Ying Shaolong again and found that he had drunk so much wine that he was not drunk at all. It was easier than drinking water.

She thought about it, her thoughts moved, she silently picked up the wine glass, and toasted Ying Shaolong.

Ning Ying didn't know that the dragon liver refined by Ying Shaolong could not get drunk after a thousand cups in a physical sense.

Moreover, Xiyuan Township’s wine-making process is not very skilled. Although it is called wine, it is actually more like a fermented grain drink with a stronger sweetness.

For Xiyuanxiang people who have never drank much, it is easy to get drunk after one drink.

After three rounds of drinking, many people lay down on the spot, and some were still banging their mouths and talking in their sleep.

Ying Shaolong put down his wine glass and burped.

Looking at the table full of food, he felt that it was not easy, he could finally eat something real.ωωw..net

At this moment, a figure gradually approached at the end of the road.

Ning Ying noticed someone coming and immediately jumped onto the ring and looked up.

Yue Zuo walked slowly over carrying a bag.

Ning Ying returned to Ying Shaolong: "Yue Zuo is here to give you a gift."

Ying Shaolong nodded and stuffed the remaining half of the plate of purple fungi into Ning Ying's mouth.

"Oh! It's delicious!" Ning Ying held her face in her hands and was immediately smitten.

Ying Shaolong smiled fondly, then slowly stood up and went to greet the uninvited guests.

"Congratulations, Ao Shaolong!"

From a long distance away, Yue Zuo greeted me warmly.

Ying Shaolong walked forward with a smile on his face and said, "Come here as soon as you come, and you'll bring some things with you. It's really out of sight."

The two of them didn't seem to notice the other people who were full of wine and food, and walked to their seats talking and laughing.

Ning Ying's feelings towards Yue Zuo were a bit complicated, so she nodded and sat aside.

"If you don't provide good hospitality, let's just have some side dishes." Ying Shaolong said with a fake smile.

"I've heard that the food you eat in the well is good, and it turns out that it's true today!" Yue Zuo's eyes lit up.

Compared with the various original ecology of Tiancheng, Xiajing has been cooked in various ways and added with various spices, and the taste is very different.

One chopstick after another left and right, and I was forgetful about eating.

"It's really good!" He couldn't help but praise, "It's a completely different experience!"

"Eat more if you like it." Ying Shaolong said calmly.

When Yue Zuo had almost eaten, he patted his belly and said, "The taste is completely different, delicious."

Ying Shaolong said: "When you come here, you probably don't know how to just give things away, right?"

He took a look at the bag Yuezuo brought and didn't feel anything strange.

Yue Zuo said: "I just came to give you a gift and see how your life is going."

He looked left and right, but didn't seem to see what he wanted to see.

"What are you looking for?" Ying Shaolong asked.

"How come I didn't see the people you took in? They didn't attend the party?" Yue Zuo showed an amused smile.

According to his idea, if Ying Shaolong accepted the homeless Zhongta people, he would definitely be in trouble.

Let’s not talk about whether we can let go of past grudges by going to the well.

Even if the status of both sides undergoes earth-shaking changes, the middle tower will not be able to become a low-profile one immediately.

Yue Zuo originally thought that Ying Shaolong was still dealing with these chores, but he didn't expect that Xiajing would be so harmonious.

"They can't integrate into the well for the time being, so they live outside." Ying Shaolong said.

"Oh, that's it." Yue Zuo deliberately prolonged his tone.

Ying Shaolong did not answer the call.

After a moment of silence, he said: "You care about them?"

Yue Zuo shook his head: "The people in the prison asked me to ask, maybe their family members are among them."

Hearing this, Ning Ying, who had been silent for a long time, hurriedly said: "Have you dealt with them yet?"

"Of course I'm taking my time." Yue Zuo looked at Ning Ying, "But Master Xing has been executed. Is this what you want to hear?"

Ning Ying glared at him and lowered her head expressionlessly.

Yue Zuo laughed and said: "You are soft-hearted, maybe that's what makes you different from the other people in Zhongta, haha."

Noticed Ying Shaolong frowning.

Yue Zuo said again: "Let me tell you some information I asked about."

He took out a small jade and placed it on the table.

"I give you the remote control, go and save your compatriots."

This sentence is slightly sarcastic.

Ying Shaolong said: "Is this how Lord Xing controls other people's thoughts?"

The corner of Yue Zuo's mouth dropped: "What? It turns out you know about this."

He fiddled with the stone twice.

"This fell from Master Xing. According to research, this jade will emit a strange fragrance and control the thoughts of those who smell it."

After all these years, Yue Zuo has also been curious about how Lord Xing secured his position as the Lord of the Central Tower.

When he discovered the answer, he immediately wanted to tell Ning Ying.

Not only did he show off his discovery, but he also mocked Ning Ying, saying that all her years of hard work were in vain.

Ling Yuezuo was a little unhappy. It turned out that Ying Shaolong and the others had realized this a long time ago.
