Time passed quickly, and it was noon in a blink of an eye.
Nan Yanxi, who was sleeping soundly, was gently awakened by the little maid sent by Ye Feng: "Sir... my master has invited you to have lunch with me."
Although Nan Yanxi was sleeping soundly, she was a little unhappy, but she was really hungry.
I haven't eaten anything in the morning, so I must be extremely hungry now. Besides, people are here to invite me, so it would be shameful not to go.
Helplessly, he got up, briefly combed his clothes and hair, and then followed the little maid out of the door.
Walking on the winding path paved with bluestones, the scenery on both sides was extremely beautiful, but my growling stomach was a bit out of place.
I followed the maid, twisting and turning, and walked forward for a long time but still didn't arrive.
Nan Yanxi, who was very hungry, couldn't help but asked impatiently: "Hey, sister...where is your city lord waiting for me? It's been almost a cup of tea since I left."
The little maid in front didn't stop when she heard the words. She kept walking forward and said: "Master, don't be anxious, we will be here soon."
After saying that, he walked forward for a while and brought Nan Yanxi Huanhuan to the door of a luxurious hall. The little maid stopped.
She smiled softly at Nan Yanxi and made a gesture of invitation: "Master... we are here."
"My master is inside, sir, please come in..."
Nan Yanxi curled her lips, not saying anything to greet her. It was really rude.
Then he walked towards the inside.
As soon as she entered the room, Nan Yanxi couldn't help but exclaimed in her heart, thinking that this Ye Feng, who looked quite plainly dressed, was actually acting so extravagantly.
It is just a place to eat, but it is so luxuriously decorated, with carved beams, painted walls, and gold and silver inlays. It is simply more luxurious than the place where I eat.
You smack your lips and say in your heart that your subordinates deserve it for being so dissatisfied with you and so extravagant and wasteful. Is that right? Is that right?
With such criticism in her heart, Nan Yanxi walked slowly inside, bypassing the large screen made of white jade, and a luxurious dining table appeared in front of her.
Looking at the material, this table is made of rosewood. As the saying goes, there are no large materials in rosewood. Things made of rosewood are usually small items, and the big ones are often expensive and rare.
Nan Yanxi, who has always been frugal, saw such a large red sandalwood object like the Eight Immortals table for the first time even if he let the emperor go.
Take another two steps forward and take a closer look. The tabletop is actually made of the finest jasper. The ice is so transparent that it is of the highest quality at first glance.
The plate is made of white jade inlaid with gold, and the chopsticks, spoons, wine glasses, and wine bottles are all made of silver.
Look at the food on the table. There are everything that flies in the sky, runs on the ground, swims in the water, and delicacies from mountains and seas.
There were many things that Nan Yanxi, who had been emperor for such a long time, saw for the first time.
He swallowed his saliva in shock and thought to himself, no wonder he had to go to Zhao'an. Let's not talk about revenge. Just this kind of life is not what a county guard can have, unless he is a very corrupt official.
Just as I was thinking about it, footsteps suddenly came from behind the screen opposite.
Nan Yanxi raised her head and looked up. Before anyone arrived, a voice came in: "Hahaha... Master Zhang, right? I've offended so many people this morning, please don't blame me, hahaha..."
When the voice fell, Nan Yanxi frowned and looked at the place where the voice came from as if facing a formidable enemy: "Is that you?"
"Yes, it's me... Hahaha..." As the voice sounded again, a figure walked out from behind the screen. It turned out to be the great elder of Maple Leaf City who had threatened to kill him in the main hall this morning.
At this time, he completely changed his face, from being sinister and cruel to being amiable.
It's just that this appearance looks extremely inconsistent on the elder's skinny face.
With a smile on his face, the great elder cupped his hands towards Nan Yanxi and said with a smile: "Sir, hahaha...I am being rude today, please don't blame me..."
"After all, in our line of work, the most important thing is to be cautious, otherwise... it will be doomed!"
"Now that the old city lord has passed away, that girl Ye Feng is careless again. All the big and small things have to be taken care of by me, an old man... Hahaha..."
As the elder said this, he slowly came to the table and sat down. He smiled at Nan Yanxi and said, "Master, sit down... don't be polite, just treat yourself as if you were at home!"
"Today, this is specially prepared for the young master. It is to make amends for the young master and to catch the wind...ah haha...and also, we also know each other, and we will be our own people in the future."
Hearing this, Nan Yanxi suddenly sneered in her heart, thinking, you old boy, you really want to kill me, right? You know each other...who are you fooling?
However, with this old boy's skill, even if he wants to kill himself, it's not enough. If he really wants to do something to her, Nan Yanxi won't mind giving him a trick to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger.
However, if the food was poisonous, that would be a different matter, and Nan Yanxi would have to be on guard against it.
I made some calculations in my mind, and since I wanted to mess up Maple Leaf City, I couldn't just be friends with one side. It would be more appropriate to have two sides.
Thinking of this, Nan Yanxi quickly changed her expression, cupped her hands in front of the Great Elder, and said with a smile on her face: "Oh... Hahaha... Great Elder, what are you doing?"
"You're too polite. You're trying to make amends for me, but you're just trying to shame me, hahaha..."
"On the contrary, junior, today in the main hall, you have a blind eye and don't recognize gold and jade. You rushed to the elder. You don't remember the villain's fault. Don't blame the junior... Hahaha..."
Such a change made the great elder stunned for a moment, thinking, is this kid so enlightened?
Or should we say that this Zhang Sanjin is essentially the same as the Fourth Elder, but a follower of others.
Just like the weeds on the wall, they will fall in which direction the wind blows.
If that's the case, let's have a good chat, maybe it can be of use to you.
Thinking of this, the elder laughed in agreement, picked up the wine bottle, and poured a glass of wine for him despite Nan Yanxi's extremely polite resistance.
Then he poured himself a glass of wine, then sat down and said with a smile: "Master Zhang, this is the first time that you and I have met."
"Old man, Tian Yingzhang! I am ashamed to be the Great Elder of Maple Leaf City, haha... temporary, hahaha... temporary..."
"I heard from people below that my little brother's name is Zhang Sanjin. He is from Qingzhou, right?"
"Haha, it turns out it's Mr. Tian, I'm so glad to meet you!" Nan Yanxi said with a smile on her face, cupping her hands to Tian Yingzhang: "Yes, the villain Zhang Sanjin, his ancestral home is Qingzhou."
Hearing this, Tian Yingzhang suddenly looked surprised: "Oh...what a coincidence. The old man's ancestral home is also Qingzhou, haha...fate, fate!"
"Ouch! That's right!" Of course Nan Yanxi knew that this was just nonsense, but it was just some decent words, so naturally he couldn't take it seriously.
However, he pretended to be surprised: "Oh, look, we are so close... meeting an old friend in a foreign land!"
"In that case, then I should...call you uncle!"
The two of them talked to each other, and laughter could be heard from time to time.
Tian Yingzhang also knows the rules very well. In order to show that he has no ill intentions, he drinks the wine first and eats the food first.
This wine pot, wine glass, chopsticks and spoons are all specially made of silver.
The two of them were drinking and chatting, and before they knew it, they were already enjoying the wine and the food.
After drinking a glass of wine together again, Tian Yingzhang leaned over and asked with a smile: "My dear nephew, my uncle has something to ask me. I don't know whether I should talk to him or not."
As soon as he said this, Nan Yanxi, who was pretending to be tipsy, suddenly became aware that this old fox was finally showing his tail.
He immediately waved his hand and said, "Oh...Uncle Tian, just ask me directly, why are you so outspoken?"
"Ah ha ha... ok, ok..." Seeing this, Tian Yingzhang laughed and said slowly: "In that case, let's ask uncle!"
"Uh... um... uncle wants to ask, what did Ye Feng, that girl, talk about after she took you to her place? And... nephew, how are you going to help us when you come this time?"
After saying that, he quickly explained: "Of course, it's not what uncle wants to ask. It's just that Ye Feng is too young and doesn't think carefully about many things."
"Everything big or small needs to be taken care of by my uncle!"
"My dear nephew, please tell me, uncle and I are close friends with her father, how can we not worry about her!"
