The person who was dating Tantai Feng was indeed not an ordinary person. Luo Junyao walked beside her and saw that the person he saw was completely different from Gu Jue.
No matter how they were dressed, these people had a bit of violence in them, and they were all obviously people with blood on their hands.
Although they were all celebrating Fang Changyun's birthday, these guests were obviously in their own circles.
Seeing the girl following Tantai Feng, their eyes immediately changed, "Tantai, who is this little girl? Could it be your new girl?"
Tantai Feng said with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense, she is a girl from a good family."
When they heard this, the few people understood, and one of them laughed and said: "That's right, she doesn't look like someone from your family. How could a girl from a good family come here? Could it be that you kidnapped her?"
Tantai Feng glanced at everyone and said, "I think this girl is interesting, so I will take her to play for a while. If any of you dare to bully her, don't blame me for being rude."
Although Tantai Feng is a woman, she is quite prestigious among these people.
After she said this, others naturally expressed their fear. Some people said boldly: "The friends Tantai brings are our friends. From now on, the little girl only needs to report Tantai's name at sea to ensure smooth sailing."
Tantai Feng cursed in a funny way: "My dear young lady, what are you doing to meet you?"
Luo Junyao didn't interrupt, and sat obediently listening to Tantai Feng and others talking.
Anyway, no confidential matters can be discussed in such a public place.
The identity of these people is not a secret, so they sat together and talked about some big and small things at sea in the past two years. Although they were familiar with each other, after all, they each had their own territory, and they could not see each other more than a few times a year.
.It’s rare to get together these days, but there’s still a lot to talk about.
Listening to their conversation, Luo Junyao realized that all of these people were famous lords at sea.
Ocean business is difficult to do. In addition to the threat of storms at sea, the most worrying thing is encountering pirates. Now Luo Junyao was sitting peacefully among the pirate leaders, listening to them talking and laughing.
Only then did she realize the importance of Tantai Feng among these pirates.
As a daughter, Tantai Feng led her men across the South China Sea. Regardless of her unjust livelihood, she can be regarded as a hero among women.
For Fang Changyun’s birthday, it’s just a matter of inviting wealthy businessmen from all over the country. Gathering so many pirate leaders together is probably not just to celebrate his birthday, right?
You know, which of these people doesn't have hundreds or thousands of people under their command?
"By the way, Tantai, I heard that you fell in love with a pretty boy two years ago. Did you marry him back? Why didn't you bring him with you this time?" A short, stocky, dark-faced man asked, holding a wine glass.
Huh? Is there any gossip?
Not only Luo Junyao became curious instantly, but others were also obviously very interested and looked at Tantai Feng.
Tantai Feng also hesitated, raised his eyebrows and said, "People look down on us doing this kind of business."
Hearing this, everyone immediately became united in their hatred, "Who dares to look down on our Tantai? You really don't know how to praise me! Brothers, go get it back for you?"
"That's right! I heard he's not a weak scholar? Since he's taken a liking to him, why don't he just snatch it back?"
Tantai Feng took a sip of wine and said lazily: "What are you trying to grab? A strong-willed melon isn't sweet. I, Tantai Feng, have to marry him."
"That's true. What's good about scholars? Aren't they just that they look fairer than us?" One of them was very sour. "Scholars love to lie. How many days can the sick ones live? Don't look back and get hurt.
Tantai became a widow."
A middle-aged man in his forties sitting next to him said with a smile: "That's not true. What Tantai likes is not an ordinary scholar. I heard that he also came from a famous family. In the previous dynasty, there were generations of noble families. Although it is somewhat declining now
Yes, but he is also a wealthy businessman from the South China Sea."
The pavilion was quiet for a moment. Luo Junyao lowered his head to drink tea and straightened his ears.
"Wealthy merchants from the South China Sea? The Lin family?"
Cough cough... Luo Junyao suppressed the rising cough, and his face turned slightly red.
Fortunately, others were busy curious about Tantai Feng's romance rumors and did not notice anything unusual about her.
A noble family from generation to generation, a wealthy businessman from the South China Sea? Lin?
It's not such a coincidence, right? Is it possible that when she goes to sea, she can meet the love of her uncle, whom she has never met before?
"This... what the Lin family said..." The atmosphere in the crowd was no longer as lively as it was just now, and no one said they would help Tantai Feng kidnap someone back to be the village's minister.
Even the sour man suppressed his blush, and after a long while he said: "As for the Lin family, they are barely worthy of Tantai."
Tantai Feng said with a smile: "It's a pity that I'm not worthy of him, so don't say such disappointing things. Come on, have a drink!"
Everyone picked up their wine glasses and had a drink with Tantai Feng. After all, the gossip was tempting. After a moment of silence, someone asked in a low voice: "By the way, the Fang family didn't invite the head of the Lin family this time?"
Although the two sides are far apart in the south and north, since they have invited Tantai Feng, who is also in Nanhai, it seems a bit unreasonable not to invite the Lin family.
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "I don't know about that, but it seems that I haven't seen anyone from the Lin family in the past two days. The Lin family and the Fang family have no contact with each other, so they probably didn't come. Tantai, what do you think?"
Tantai Feng said calmly: "It's true that I didn't come. I heard that I have been busy recently."
"What are you busy with? Are you going on a long trip to sea again?"
Tantai Feng said with a smile: "I heard that his niece needs his help with something. She can't tell this to an outsider like me."
"Huh? Isn't that the niece of the Lin family..."
Everyone looked at each other, and then someone said: "Isn't that General Luo's daughter, the current regent?"
"No."
Therefore, it is really unlikely that someone with a background like the Lin family would have an origin like Tantai Feng. In addition, if they remembered correctly, Tantai Feng was several years older than the Lin family member.
Are you really talking about her uncle?
Luo Junyao blinked his eyes and looked up at Tantai Feng quietly.
Tantai Feng is actually very good-looking, and her beauty is completely different from that of women in the Central Plains area.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! With a bit of wild and exotic beauty, the outline looks more like a Central Plains person. He should be a mixed-race person of foreign descent from the South China Sea.
"What are you looking at?" Tantai Feng glanced at her and said with a smile.
Luo Junyao smiled sweetly at her and said, "Sister is pretty."
Tantai Feng was immediately amused. He shook his head with a smile, and there was a hint of sadness between his brows, "You look good like this."
Although the man's ancestral home was Zhangzhou, his family had lived in Shangyong in his early years, and he was from a well-known family in the Central Plains. Only a fair and delicate girl like this was considered good-looking in his eyes, and he probably really didn't like her.
Seeing that it was getting late, Luo Junyao said goodbye to Tantai Feng and turned to look for Gu Jue. Gu Jue had also gotten rid of the new friends he had made in the past few days and was heading here to look for Luo Junyao.
Seeing that Luo Junyao was safe and sound, Gu Jue breathed a sigh of relief, walked to her side and asked in a low voice, "Is everything okay?"
Luo Junyao spread his hands towards him: What can happen?
Gu Jue glanced at Tantai Feng and others not far away, pulled Luo Junyao to the other side, and asked: "Those people are not serious businessmen, why did you talk to them for so long?"
Luo Junyao thought to himself: "I can't tell you that I'm listening to the gossip about Tantai Feng and my uncle, right?"
"Fang Changyun seems to have invited many pirate leaders here." Luo Junyao whispered.
Gu Jue nodded and said, "Indeed, it's not just pirate leaders. I just took a look, there are also many underworld and green forest forces from various places."
Luo Junyao smiled and said, "It seems like there will be a lot of fun tonight."
Gu Jue glanced at her, and Luo Jun shook his lips and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we won't do anything tonight. We will just send a congratulatory gift to the head of the Fang family first."
In the evening, the Fang family's birthday banquet began.
Gu Jue and Luo Junyao sneaked into the seats near the front of the lobby because of their relationship with the Gu family. Naturally, those sitting at the front were Fang Changyun and Cao Mian. Although most people present had no idea who Cao Mian was, a very few knew or had seen him.
People who have passed Cao Mian will not say much.
Even if you don't know the origin of his identity, just by looking at the appearance of Cao Mian and Fang Changyun sitting side by side, you can know that this person's identity does not have to be extraordinary, and naturally no one is looking for trouble.
On the other hand, although Huang Qiru, who was the official official of Yingzhou's parents, was also in the lobby, he only sat in an inconspicuous seat at the back.
In addition, he wore ordinary clothes and usually lived in seclusion. Not only the guests from out of town who came to celebrate his birthday did not know him, but even the local dignitaries hardly knew him.
It really takes the word transparency to its extreme.
Luo Junyao was in a great mood, enjoying the singing and dancing, and tasting the fine wine and delicacies of the Fang family.
The Fang family was as wealthy as anyone in the country, so the birthday banquets used to entertain guests were naturally of the highest quality. Even someone like Luo Junyao, who was used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, couldn't find anything wrong with them when he tasted them.
Fang Changyun, who was sitting on the main seat, was also full of joy today. He first toasted with everyone, then drank a few drinks alone with Cao Mian, who was sitting next to him, and said a few words.
Then everyone in the Fang family started to speak, and all the guests presented their congratulatory gifts.
Neither Luo Junyao nor Gu Jue had any intention of showing off their comparison. The gifts had already been handed over to the receptionist for registration when they entered the house, and the gifts were quite satisfactory.
At this time, I just sat and watched, just for fun.
The various treasures are enough to open your eyes.
There are countless coral trees taller than a human being, huge luminous pearls, various treasures, antiques and even foreign treasures.
"By order of Master Dongfang, I would like to send you a congratulatory gift to congratulate the Fang family leader on his fiftieth birthday." A sudden voice came clearly through the noisy lobby and reached everyone's ears.
Everyone was startled and looked around but didn't find out who was speaking.
Until the people sitting near the door saw a man in black strolling in from outside carrying a box.
It was someone else's birthday and he came in wearing black clothes. This was not a birthday celebration, but he was clearly here to cause trouble. I don't know how he got in.
Everyone in the hall fell silent, and even the silk and bamboo music in the hall stopped.
As soon as the music stopped, the dancers who were dancing gracefully were at a loss what to do. When they saw Fang Changyun waving with a solemn face, they all bowed and left.
The man was tall and wearing a human skin mask that looked very funny. It was hard to believe that he didn't do it on purpose.
"Who are you, Your Excellency? Our Fang family seems to have not invited you!" Before Fang Changyun could speak, someone from the Fang family's children sitting below him stood up and shouted sharply.
The man chuckled and said, "Are you deaf?"
The young man who spoke was choked up and couldn't help but look back at Fang Changyun who was sitting on the seat.
Fang Changyun's face had long been gloomy, and he stared at the man and said: "It seems that you are here to trouble the Fang family. Since Mr. Dongfang is so brave, why don't you come here in person? You can also let me toast him!"
The man's eyes were full of surprise, "My young master accidentally killed your son, and you actually want to offer him a drink? The head of the Fang family is really generous and tolerant."
There was an explosion in the lobby. Many of them knew about Fang Shuo's death in Shangyong, but most of them didn't take it seriously.
Fang Shuo was originally a dandy with no ability, relying on the favor of his family master to run amok. Naturally, no one dared to offend him in Yingzhou, but where was Shangyong? If he offended anyone, he would die in Shangyong.
It's not a strange thing.
Fang Changyun's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he sneered: "Before you die, you should always have a drink."
The man smiled and said, "It's a pity that my young master is not as particular as the Fang family master."
"Come here, get it for me!" Fang Changyun said sternly.
The guards in the hall drew their weapons one after another, and a large group of guards immediately appeared outside the hall, with the leading few already rushing in.
But before they even stepped through the door, the man in black waved out a palm with one hand, and the few people at the front were immediately swept away, knocking those behind him off their feet.
Upon seeing this, the guards in the palace immediately rushed to the front and surrounded Fang Changyun and everyone in the Fang family to prevent him from making a surprise attack.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Luo Jun shook his head and leaned his forehead on Gu Jue's shoulder. In the eyes of the people around him, he looked like a little girl who was afraid to ask for her brother's protection.
Gu Jue's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch, and his body became a little stiff.
I just ask the prince not to hear about this matter, and even if he hears about it, don’t blame him.
He is innocent!
Luo Junyao leaned against Gu Jue and quickly glanced at Fang Changyun, Cao Mian and others in the front seat.
Although both Fang Changyun and Cao Mian's faces were not very good-looking, they did not look panicked. Apparently they were not worried that the man in black would suddenly be exposed and assassinate them.
Luo Junyao turned his eyes slightly and glanced at the people sitting not far away on the left and right of the two people.
These people looked inconspicuous, and their clothes were no different from those of the Fang family members. If you didn't care, you would probably think that they were the elders of the Fang family or Fang Changyun's cousins. But at this time, they did not look like them.
The other Fang family members were so panicked,
On the contrary, they were calmer than everyone present.
Two of them stared closely at the heart and brows of the man in black standing in the hall, and their eyes fell on the box held by the man in black in his left hand.
"Why bother my master? I am willing to take down this arrogant person for the Fang family!"
In the guest seat, a thin man in his forties stood up from the table, flew up and clawed his right hand towards the back of the man in black.
The man in black remained motionless, but looked back at the man who was rushing toward him, "Eagle Claw Hand?"
With a slight snort, the man in black threw the box in his hand upwards, reached out and firmly grasped the middle-aged man's wrist, and twisted it gently. Everyone heard a crisp click.
The middle-aged man who was about to strike just now froze, was pulled down and fell heavily to the ground.
The box that had just been thrown up fell and hit him right in the abdomen.
The middle-aged man groaned when he was hit, and a mouthful of blood spurted out on the spot.
The man in black looked down at the middle-aged man who was unable to move on the ground, and calmly continued what he said before: "That's all."
