The carriage Murong Ji was riding in was already heading towards the "West Lake Elegant Seat".
Although Mr. Murong is not very wise, he is not stupid either. He naturally considered the possibility of Sun Yixie ambushing him on the way or at the place where he got off the bus. Therefore, tonight he not only arranged for Liu Ming to drive for him personally, but also called
Twenty capable men followed the carriage and escorted it all the way.
Ladies, please don't underestimate these twenty people. They are not ordinary servants or thugs, but a group of "elite thugs" specially trained by the Murong family for "expedition" and "business expansion". Each of them
One of them has learned a few superficial skills from the Murong family.
Of course, it's just superficial skills; the Murong family will not train these people to be too strong, lest they quit after learning to a certain level and go into the world on their own.
"Huh——" At the beginning of Xushi, Liu Ming reined in his horse at a place about ten feet in front of the West Lake Yazuo Gate. After the carriage stopped, he turned back and rushed into the carriage to report, "Young Master, we are here."
After he finished speaking, Murong Ji reached out and opened the front curtain of the car and looked out of the car.
Under the pale moonlight, he glanced around and saw that the restaurant in front of him was still in a messy state, like a ruin. It was in sharp contrast to the beautiful scenery beside the West Lake.
Obviously, since it was smashed by Murong Ji and his men on the first day of May, this West Lake Restaurant has not been open until today. Even the sign that was taken off and trampled to pieces is still quietly left on the door.
In the open space next to it.
"Humph... When you invite someone to dinner, you don't clean up in advance." Murong Ji looked at his "masterpiece" and said something in a sarcastic tone while feeling proud.
When he said this, he had already moved his fat body and jumped out of the carriage.
When he got out of the car and looked up again, he found that except for the lights on the highest floor of the restaurant in front of him, everything from the third floor to the third floor was completely dark.
"Young Master, I'm afraid this guy is cheating." At this time, Liu Ming also got out of the car and stood a step behind Murong Ji, reminding him.
"What are you afraid of?" Murong Ji replied confidently, "We have a lot of people with us, and Mr. Liu is here to take charge. Besides... I'm not a vegetarian either. Just because he's a young hero, he will be ranked fourth.
What can you do to us?"
As soon as you say this, you will understand that Mr. Murong came here after doing his homework.
Although "Eastern Harmony and Western Poison" have a great reputation in the world, most of the legends revolve around what they have done, as well as their strategies, connections and methods...
As for their martial arts, no one really boasts about them.
Because the two of them have indeed never demonstrated any superb martial arts skills on major occasions...
During the Young Heroes Association, although Sun Yixie won the first place in the palace, the upper limit of his strength was almost exposed when he lost to a woman. Huang Donglai didn't use any of his hands, so he was a loser.
When they were in a dark mood, no one saw what they did. Fortunately, no one saw it, because if they were really seen... others would not improve their evaluation of their martial arts, but would only lower their evaluation of them.
Views of character.
Let’s not talk about helping the Jin Yiwei eliminate the shadow remnants. It is not a political matter in the first place.
When Qixiong met Huang Donglai, he showed off his skills. The problem was that the identity he used at that time was "Xudong Old Immortal", and only a few people knew that it was him.
Later, when "swords and demons were defeated", although the two harmonies cooperated and used methods such as "five lightning whips", this was no longer a category that people in the world recognized. This was regarded as "immortal magic".
"Ah, so most people still think that the "four swords and three knives" that weakened Xiao Zhun before are the main force in the battle, and Sun and Huang just used side tactics to kill people.
The most recent time the two of them were at the center of a major incident was the election of the leader of the Green Forest Road in Guangzhou. The only single result they left behind that time was that Brother Sun beat Da Dai with gangster tactics by the river...
...Huang Donglai and the others all attacked together, and the opponents they beat were just like that.
After I review this, you should also understand that, in fact, since Shuanghe has been in the world, they have never defeated any of the world's big shots or famous masters in a fair duel in public.
The achievements and legends they left behind basically used various evil or insidious means other than martial arts to "execute justice"...
Under this premise, after some analysis, Murong Ji felt that he was worthy of Sun Yixie.
According to what he was thinking: If I meet the "Western Poison" Huang Donglai here today, I might still worry about the "Three Skills of the Yellow Clan", but you, Sun Yixie... are not from a martial arts family.
A few years ago, I lost to a woman in the ring. How much better can my martial arts be now? I, Murong Ji, am the eldest son of a famous martial arts family. I am several years older than you. I have practiced hard since I was a child and am good at literature and art.
Wu, is it possible that I'm still afraid of you, an illiterate who made his fortune in the fish market and can't even write invitations well?
Murong Ji's thoughts do have some truth to them.
However, he couldn't have calculated that... Sun Yixie was a time traveler, and not long ago, he had an adventure on the Erxian Island.
In addition, Murong Ji relied on the rise of his family in recent years, and he could be said to have had smooth sailing and invincibility in his travels... He had never met anyone he couldn't handle, so he was a little inflated.
Under such circumstances of underestimating his opponent and overestimating himself, it was only natural that Murong Ji dared to come to this "Hongmen Banquet" tonight.
"Master, look." Not long after the two got off the car, the sharp-eyed Liu Ming saw a faint light source appear in the restaurant.
Not long after, I saw a man in his twenties, with four eyebrows, wearing loose clothes, holding a lantern, slowly coming down the stairs in the restaurant, then walking through the lobby and arriving at the door.
"Hehehe..." Sun Yixie saw more than twenty people standing outside, and he was the only one, but he didn't panic at all. He walked up to the two people beside the carriage with a smile, and casually held the lantern pole in his hand.
He put his son under his arm, then clasped his fists and smiled at the younger one, "May I ask if this brother is Mr. Murong?"
Although there were no photos or anything like that at that time, because Murong Ji's physical features were easy to recognize, Sun Yixie just listened to other people's descriptions in advance, and then scanned them with his eyesight, and easily distinguished him from the crowd.
Murong Ji was identified.
"Exactly." When Murong Ji replied these two words, his tone was disdainful and his expression was arrogant. It was obvious that he was about to quarrel. After replying, he immediately asked, "Are you Sun Yixie?"
Murong Ji also met Sun Yixie for the first time, but his ears had already been filled with information about the other person's image, so he asked this question.
"Yes, I am." Sun Yixie still smiled, as if the other party's rude attitude did not displease him at all, "Sun has heard about Mr. Murong's name for a long time, and when I saw him today, he was indeed one of the best among people.
Dragons and phoenixes, majestic vessels... I'm glad to meet you."
"Huh?" Upon hearing this second sentence, Murong Ji was stunned.
He was muttering in his heart at that time: Isn’t that right? I smashed his restaurant, disrupted his fish market, and ruined so many businesses of their Sun family... When he invited me out, he should have wanted to prosecute me, but at this moment he
Why are you so polite to me? I obviously didn't give him a good look either?
"Uh...ah, nice to meet you, nice to meet you..." That's all, Murong Ji had to answer, so after a slight hesitation for two seconds, he chose to go back politely.
This is the so-called "it's hard to hit someone with a smiling face". When someone greets you properly and praises you well, you can't say back to him, "You are the best among people, and your whole family is the best among them."
?
"Brother Murong, it's very windy outside, why don't we go upstairs first and sit down to chat?" Sun Yixie said, turning sideways as if to lead the way.
Murong Ji heard this, exchanged glances with Liu Ming, and then replied in a deep voice: "Okay, please, Brother Sun."
"Please." Sun Yixie responded, walked forward with a lantern, and began to lead Murong Ji, Liu Ming, and the twenty elite thugs upstairs.
Although we have mentioned the layout of the West Lake Dining Room in the previous article, you may have forgotten it, so I will mention it a little bit here... that is to say, the lower two floors of this restaurant are for general guests to eat.
, the upper two floors are all private rooms.
When Murong Ji and his men came down to smash the store on the first day of the new year, he did not touch the third and fourth floors because he knew very well that the people sitting in the private room upstairs that day were all local prominent people. He was smashing the trees in the store downstairs.
If you can, just go up and have a head-on conflict with them... There is no need. After all, he will open "Huanyi Pavilion" to Hangzhou in the future, and he will need the support and support of the dignitaries upstairs. In case of enmity, he will not
alright.
Because of this, the fourth floor where Sun Yixie is taking Murong Ji and others is still intact and can receive guests normally.
"Brother Murong, please come this way." Soon, Sun Yixie led everyone to the door of the elegant room called "The Da Vinci Code" and stopped immediately.
At this moment, Murong Ji looked in through the open door of the room and found that two people were already standing in the room.
One is Xue Tui with his head still wrapped in a bandage.
The other one is Tang Weizhi, whose face is still injured and has not yet healed.
"Hmph...I see, you are just waiting here for me." Murong Ji felt a little calmer after seeing these two people.
Why do you say that?
Because when he came along the way just now, Murong Ji always felt that Sun Yixie's attitude towards him was too good, and that this was either a traitor or a theft, so he was always on guard against the dark places in the stairs and corridors where someone would rush out to plot against him.
Liu Ming, who was beside Murong Ji, had similar thoughts.
However, the two of them had been on guard for a long time, and their nerves continued to be tense, but they did not wait for any danger at all, which made them more and more uneasy...
Fortunately, at this moment they saw Xue Tang, the two victims of the store smashing incident, and now they "understood" - it turned out that the boy surnamed Sun did not intend to start a war with us, he just wanted to take away what he had obtained a few days ago
Talk to us about the conditions for that matter, and then make the two servants who were injured by us cry miserably on the spot, just to extort more benefits.
Mr. Murong and Liu Ming, who often went out to negotiate in the arena, were very familiar with this routine, so they made an instant judgment and felt that Sun Yixie was also in this way.
"I thought it was a 'Hongmen Banquet', but it turned out to be a 'Hetou Wine'..." As he stepped into the house, Murong Ji smiled secretly in his heart, "Huh... well, at least he is a person who is aware of current affairs and knows how to deal with our Murong family.
There are no good things to be done if you are against me... Okay, I will give you some thin noodles because you are a smart person. As long as you don't block the money of our Murong family in this area of Hangzhou from now on, a few days ago
I can compensate you for what happened."
Before he even sat down, Murong Ji had already thought about the bottom line of today's negotiation in his mind.
Feeling confident, he even glanced at Liu Ming, as if he wanted to show off with his eyes that he had seen through everything.
"Hmm...Brother Murong, these people outside..." Sun Yixie asked tentatively when he saw that only Liu Ming followed Murong Ji into the house, while the others were standing in the corridor outside the door.
"Ah?" It was only then that Murong Ji realized a problem belatedly - he was a bit embarrassed in his battle tonight.
Sun Yixie invited him to dinner and treated him politely. There was no sign of harming him at all. However, he followed him to the door of the private room with more than 20 bodyguards. At this time, the corridor was full of people.
It made it difficult for the clerks in the store to move around...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Murong Ji's behavior, in the eyes of others, means that he treats a gentleman with a villain's heart, and he is also very afraid of death.
"It's not that I don't show respect to Brother Murong. I really didn't expect you to bring so many people here. I only prepared a table of ingredients in the kitchen tonight. I'm afraid it won't be enough to entertain so many of your brothers..." Murong Ji was stunned.
On this occasion, Sun Yixie added this sentence again.
What he said sounded polite and honest, but when it fell into Murong Ji's ears, it made the latter panic.
"Why are you just standing there stupidly? Who asked you to follow me?" Murong Ji, who was eager to save face, quickly turned his head in the next second and shouted to the group of subordinates at the door, "I'm just going to have a meal with Brother Sun.
Are you so protective? Let’s go! Let’s all go! Go downstairs and wait, you’re blocking others from serving food!”
After saying this loudly, Murong Ji glanced at Sun Yixie out of the corner of his eye, as if to see if the other party believed him.
"Brother Murong... uh... and this eldest brother, come on, let's sit down and talk first." Sun Yixie put on a nonchalant look, raising his hand to signal Murong Ji and Liu Ming to take their seats.
He personally picked up the teapot on the table and poured tea for the two of them, "Have a cup of tea, calm down, don't be like the servants."
At the same time that Brother Sun said these words, the elite thugs brought up by Murong Ji all followed the young master's order and went downstairs in despair.
When Murong Ji took the tea cup from Sun Yixie, he was still saying: "Hey... these losers really need to be taught a lesson. Brother Sun, if you didn't tell me, I didn't notice them following."
I'm coming up."
Liu Ming looked at the young master's operation of three hundred taels of silver, and he couldn't laugh or cry, and broke into a cold sweat of embarrassment.
"By the way, I haven't asked this person yet..." Fortunately, Sun Yixie immediately changed the subject and turned his attention to Liu Ming.
"Oh, this is the general of our Murong family, Mr. Liu Mingliu." Murong Ji introduced.
"Liu Ming, I have met Sun Shaoxia." Liu Ming, who had already sat down, stood up again and saluted Sun Yixie with cupped fists.
"Hey, sir, you're welcome. Sit down quickly." Although Sun Yixie did not stand up, he returned the greeting with his fists clasped and made a "please" gesture again.
After Liu Mingfu sat down again, Sun Yixie shouted outside the room: "Here comes someone."
"Master, what are your orders?" The waiter who was waiting in the corridor came in to answer the question almost before Brother Sun finished speaking.
"Tell Master Yuan and the others to prepare the dishes, and bring the warm wine as well." Sun Yixie ordered.
"Okay." The waiter promised and turned around to leave.
Sun Yixie also took advantage of this moment to slowly glance at the faces of Murong Ji and Liu Ming, and then raised his hand to gesture to the two people standing behind him: "Brother Murong, Mr. Liu, let me introduce you.
The two people behind me...are Mr.
"Ah..." Upon hearing this, Murong Ji just looked up and agreed casually.
There was nothing wrong with his reaction, because according to the etiquette at the time, Murong Ji was an honored guest invited by his master, Sun Yixie, and there was really no need for him to say hello to his "servants".
After the introduction, he only needs to inform him to show that he understands.
"You two, we have offended each other a lot in the past few days, and we can be considered as... no longer acquainted without fighting." Liu Ming, on the other hand, looked at the two of them and said something polite.
These words were not an apology, and there was no apology in his tone.
Liu Ming was just acting as a "servant", neither humble nor arrogant, making a gesture of reconciliation for their young master.
Xue Tui and Tang Weizhi, as for Xue Tui and Tang Weizhi, did not say a word after hearing this. They still stood silently behind Sun Yixie on either side, not knowing what their intention was.
"Hey~ Mr. Liu, don't be so polite to them." Sun Yixie, on the other hand, said at this time, "I called these two people here today to ask them to apologize to you."
"What?" Murong Ji was confused again when he heard this, and he said to himself, "This guy arranged for these two people to stay here tonight. Not only did he not ask for punishment, but he also wanted to apologize to us? This is... too cheap.
Bar?"
Before Murong Ji could figure this out, Sun Yixie had already turned around and said to Xue and Tang in a scolding tone: "Tell me, did you fail to entertain Brother Murong and the others that day?
Conflict?”
"The young master said yes, that's..." Xue Tui's expression was very subtle when he said this back. He looked like he was about to cry in grievance, but there was still a trace... like he was holding back a smile.
"I have nothing to say, I accept the punishment." Tang Weizhi said, lowering his head deeply, as if he didn't want others to see his expression.
"Hmph! Okay~ Just accept it." Sun Yixie raised his eyebrows and added in a hushed tone, "Then go and bring 'that' up as I told you before."
