Chapter 473 Birthday Banquet Part 1(1/2)
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month of the 24th year of Zhaohua.
Lantern Festival!
For Ningguo, the Lantern Festival is extremely important.
This is the first full moon day of the new year.
It is also the time when the earth rejuvenates.
Every household will reunite again tonight, light lanterns to pray for the light, eat a bowl of glutinous rice balls and hope to be reunited.
I think there are probably many lanterns hanging on the streets and alleys of Yujing City, and the literary world will also hold a Lantern Festival cultural event tonight.
Zhouzhuang also has a festive atmosphere.
Of course, it cannot be compared with the grand occasion in Kyoto, but Zhouyuan is particularly lively.
It's not because of Lantern Festival.
It’s the 60th birthday of Zhou Dashan Man!
Zhouzhuang Market Town is two miles away from Zhouyuan. From morning to noon, on this two-mile road, people walking together in groups of three or five hardly stopped.
Most of them are people in the world.
They all carry swords, guns and swords.
They came from all over the world, but because the sect was not very famous, or their own reputation was not very famous, they were not invited to stay in Zhouyuan.
But this did not affect their enthusiasm for going to Zhouyuan to attend this birthday party.
Originally, this enthusiasm was higher, but the battle that happened at Yuelai Inn yesterday reduced their enthusiasm a lot-
The name of the Taohua Island sect is already extremely loud in their ears.
A concierge on Taohua Island is a half-step master... This is really beyond their imagination!
After all, in the world of the world, don’t talk about the half-step master, even the first level of power is not too many.
But a concierge is a half-step master. Wouldn’t the core masters all be masters?
Who can afford to mess with this?
But later I heard that Taohua Island is not a sect in the world, but a hidden sect.
Hidden sect!
Almost no one in the world remembers this thing.
Too long.
The distance between them is too far.
According to the Shushan Agreement a hundred years ago, Yinmen shall not interfere in affairs in the world.
The sect of Yinmen shall not exceed three people.
This seems to be not scary.
At Zhou Dashan’s Life Festival Banquet, there are probably thousands of people in the world.
Even if the Taohua Island sent three rivers and lakes to walk, even if the three of them were half-step masters... If they dared to make any trouble at the birthday party, there were not many other rivers and lakes, but there were many people!
I heard that the biggest problem with Hidden Sect is that there are few people!
No matter how high their martial arts are, once they fall into the waves of the world, they may be drowned in it.
"I'm afraid of it!"
"Don't talk about what arrangements will the Grand Master Zhou make? If they violated the original agreement, then the people in the martial arts world will definitely attack them!"
"They are human too!"
"Not a real god!"
"If you are a person, you are afraid of being stabbed, you are afraid of bleeding, and you will die!"
"The Hidden Sect has a declining talent, and one person can die if he dies!"
"What we have the most lacking in is people!"
"Let's go, go to the sword treasured by Zhou Dashanren, and go to the boy named Xiaoqin's way of dying!"...
“…”
So, on the way to Zhouyuan, or inside Zhouyuan, all the laughter and joy came.
Although dozens of people died in Yuelai Inn yesterday, even Wei Changhe lost his life, these are nothing in the eyes of people in the world.
If you are in the world, you will be killed sooner or later.
They are all people who are roaming with their heads.
Or success or fame.
Or... I will be another hero in sixteen years!
...
...
Yuelai Inn.
The boss’s wife Yin Ruming personally cooked a large pot of dumplings and cooked more than a dozen poached eggs.
Li Chenan and others had already gone downstairs and sat around the big table.
Xiaoqin was the last one to go downstairs.
He still held his coffin.
He carefully placed the coffin aside, and his fingers seemed to unconsciously knocked on the coffin board three times.
He came to the table, smiled shyly, and said embarrassedly: "I've let everyone wait for a long time."
Maybe it was because of the fatigue of traveling these days, or because of the trust of Li Chenan and others, Xiaoqin, who has always been extremely self-disciplined and cautious, slept very heavily last night.
This is roughly the best night he slept in these sixteen years.
These people made him feel relieved.
Having them here makes him feel safe.
He was like a stray cat, but he found a companion he could trust here, but he was not good at expressing his heart.
Yin Ruming asked the waiter to bring bowls of dumplings and poached eggs.
However, there was no joy on her face, but she was still very nervous.
She knew what these teenagers would face when they went to Zhouyuan.
She is going, too.
It doesn't matter if she dies, but they are still young and it is of course the best to be able to survive.
Wen Xiaowan told Li Chenan last night that her father Wen Zhuoyu Feige sent a letter. She thought Li Chenan would choose to leave here.
But after hearing the news, Li Chenan just pondered for a few breaths and decided to go to Zhouyuan today.
Wen Xiaowan didn't ask the reason.
Because Xiao Baozi didn't ask the reason.
Amu and the others don’t care.
Since that's the case, let's go to death together!
There is no hurry to go to Zhouyuan, so everyone eats very slowly.
Xiaoqin suddenly looked up at Li Chenan and said, "Zhou Yuan, I have to go! You don't have to go together."
Li Chenan thought about it and asked, "Can you wait two days before going?"
"I can't wait any longer."
"That's what we have to go today?"
Xiaoqin nodded firmly.
Li Chenan swallowed the dumplings in his mouth, "Then let's go with you."
Xiaoqin was stunned. He didn't think much, just thinking that this was out of the loyalty of his friends.
He also ignored the names of these people he hadn't asked so far-
If you still have life, it will not be too late to ask again.
He hesitated for three breaths and did not refuse his friend's help. He still said very seriously to Li Chen'an:
"Zhou Mingfang is mine!"
Li Chenan nodded: "Okay, if the rest of the people attack you, they are ours."
Xiaoqin felt warm in her heart, and this time he didn't say thank you anymore.
To be continued...
