When Huang Xiaoshi returned to the door, the gifts had already been prepared. After he inspected them with his own hands, two doormen who had already been instructed picked up the gifts and followed Huang Xiaoshi towards Jiang Mansion.
"Master Huang, please come in, please come in." Today, Jiang Yu stood at the door of Jiang Mansion to welcome guests.
As Jiang Tianxiong's only son, Jiang Yu's reception of guests on his father's behalf is quite normal, but if other news is added together, the meaning is different.
It can be seen that Jiang Tianxiong's intention to withdraw from the world is very clear.
At today's birthday banquet, it is very likely that Jiang Tianxiong will announce his retirement first, and then his only son Jiang Yu will enter the world for the first time.
This meeting was extremely grand, and one could see Jiang Tianxiong's eagerness to lick the calf.
With a tiger father like Jiang Tianxiong willing to abdicate and put his child on the horse for another ride, Jiang Yu's starting point as soon as he entered the world was much, much, much higher than others.
When Jiang Yu saw Huang Xiaoshi, he quickly greeted him warmly. Huang Xiaoshi even trotted quickly with a smile on his face, and arrived in front of Jiang Yu in a few steps.
Huang Xiaoshi saluted Jiang Yu and accompanied him by saying, "Oh, brother Jiang Yu. I'm late for something, don't blame me, don't blame me."
"Master Huang, you are very polite. Please come in and take a rest."
After the two of them exchanged a few polite words with smiles on their faces, Huang Xiaoshi led the disciples into the small courtyard and walked towards the main hall.
In the main hall, Jiang Tianxiong sat in the middle, with four sets of seats equipped with tea on each side.
There are now seven people sitting on the seats in the main hall. They are Gu Yuexuan, the eldest disciple of Xiaoyao Valley, Abbot Wuyin of Shaolin Temple, Ke Jianglong, the leader of the Beggar Clan, Zhuo Renqing, the leader of Wudang, and the leader of Huashan.
Cao Dai, disciple A of the Tianshan Sect, and Tang Fei, the head of the Tang Sect.
It is not easy to be qualified to sit in the main hall.
I won’t mention the leaders. Gu Yuexuan is the eldest disciple of Xiaoyao Valley. Wu Xiazi is already eighty years old this year. If he comes, Jiang Tianxiong will celebrate his birthday.
After Gu Yuexuan and his party separated from Huang Xiaoshi, they wandered around Luoyang City for a while until Thorny caused trouble again.
Perhaps because he was afraid that his second junior brother would cause trouble again, Gu Yuexuan brought his two junior brothers to Jiang Mansion in advance.
The reason why Tang Fei was able to take a seat in the main hall was not because the Tang Sect was very popular, but because Tang Fei and Jiang Tianxiong were half "colleagues".
The Tang Sect was not only researching the use of poisons, but also researching various weapon boxes and equipment. Most of the research items were eventually handed over to the imperial court.
Despite Tang Fei's appearance as a rich country man, he also held a low-ranking official position in the Arsenal Department of the Imperial Ministry of War.
Although he was not popular, he was still a member of the official staff of the imperial court.
Jiang Tianxiong is the instructor of the Forbidden Army, so Tang Fei and he both have official positions in the imperial court and can be regarded as half "colleagues".
As for disciple A of the Tianshan Sect, he was sitting in the hall purely because Jiang Tianxiong gave the Tianshan Sect face.
However, the Tianshan sect's behavior is simply throwing their own face to the ground.
Although everyone present today, whether they are the host or the guests, are all friendly and smiling towards disciple A of the Tianshan Sect, but they have already had the thought of the Tianshan Sect that cannot be carved out of wood.
Huang Xiaoshi entered the hall, wished Jiang Tianxiong a happy birthday, and then gave him a congratulatory gift.
These congratulatory gifts were carefully prepared by Huang Xiaoshi. The first thing he presented was a load of various nourishing medicinal materials, the most eye-catching of which was a century-old ginseng that was in excellent condition.
Next presented is a pair of blue and white porcelain vases from the Song Dynasty official kiln.
To outsiders, this birthday gift seems to be both vulgar and elegant, but knowledgeable people have a little disdain in their hearts: Sure enough, this Shen Nong Baicao Sect is at the level of a nouveau riche.
After seeing the ceremony, Huang Xiaoshi bowed and left. Although there was still an empty seat in the hall, it was not one he could sit on.
After leaving the hall, a servant came to lead the way. Huang Xiaoshi first led the servant to the warehouse to put away the gifts, and then he followed the servant toward the second hall with peace of mind.
When we arrived at the second hall, there were already many people sitting inside. Huang Xiaoshi quickly became mingled with them after entering.
At the end of the Youshi period, the lanterns begin to light up.
Because there were so many visitors, the Jiang Mansion simply arranged all the banquets in the courtyard.
The Jiang family was originally a wealthy man in Luoyang, so the dozens of tables were not too crowded. The courtyard was filled with lights, illuminating the whole courtyard with joy.
The people in the main hall were led out by Jiang Tianxiong to sit at the upper table. Only then did Huang Xiaoshi see that the last empty seat was reserved for the old man Qi from the Yeqiu Fist Gate.
For the head of the wild football boxing sect, if you are more respectful, you can call him "Old Qi", and most people call him "Old Qi" in normal times.
The difference between this word is the warmth and coldness of the world.
After a hundred years of development, the two families with the same ancestors have developed great social differences, so much so that just appearing together gives people a sense of disharmony.
Qi Laosheng is an only daughter. After he passes away and goes west, this wild football sect that has been passed down for hundreds of years will probably disappear into history and disappear into the dust.
Huang Xiaoshi had also considered the idea of wild ball boxing before, but later Huang Xiaoshi figured it out and let it go.
The reason why Huang Xiaoshi gave up was that Yeqiu Boxing was a very unique boxing technique with only two moves.
The first move is a level one move called [Changing Fist].
This move [Changing Fist] has three subsequent moves, namely rock, scissors, and paper. That is, it is a feint move first, and then it can be turned into one of the three moves: fist, finger, or palm.
The second move of Wild Ball Fist is a level 10 move called [Invincible Iron Fist]. The actual effect is just like its name, it can be called invincible.
The most deceptive thing about Wild Ball Boxing is that players can only learn the first move [Changing Fist]. Only through continuous actual combat, actual combat, and actual combat again, and accumulated a huge amount of practical experience, can the second move be understood.
Although [Iron Fist Invincible] is very powerful, by the time you master this move, the day lily is already cold, not to mention that Huang Xiaoshi is not like Xiao Xiami, who can find unlimited moves from old naughty boys.
Of course, it doesn't mean that if you don't practice wild ball boxing to level ten, you are rubbish.
In actual combat, [Changing Fist] is a virtual and real thing. In terms of moves alone, [Transforming Fist] can deal with almost all moves with just one move.
If combined with [Tiangang Wuji Gong], only level one wild ball fist is enough.
[Tiangang Wuji Kung Fu] can continuously increase the character's attack power while it is in operation.
Many internal powers can improve their attack capabilities through continuous operation, but the most unique thing about [Tiangang Wuji Gong] is that it has no limit. How much damage can be stacked depends on how high you can run it.
All martial arts in the world are invincible, except speed.
【Tiangang Wuji Gong】obtains this indestructibility.
The characteristic of [Transforming Fist] is that it is extremely difficult to defend. As long as there is the blessing of [Tiangang Wuji Kung Fu], it can make up for the weak attack ability of [Transforming Fist].
It can be said that Xiao Xiami's set of martial arts is a whole. He never expected that someone would split his set of martial arts into two parts.
Having lost the [Tiangang Wuji Kung Fu] of [Wild Ball Fist], he became only strong but not soft. He gave up his moves during the attack and relied solely on the increase in attack power brought by the technique to carry out hard kills.
However, if you want to increase the attack power of [Tiangang Wuji Kung Fu], you need to stack up the number of operation layers. Stacking up the number of operation layers will put a huge burden on the body.
This is what the saying goes, "it won't last long."
Without [Tiangang Wuji Gong], the originally unpredictable [Wild Ball Fist] has become a showpiece, useless but useless.
[Wild Ball Boxing] No matter how exciting and beautiful the fight is, without the bonus of internal strength, it can only bully laymen and wild people who have not practiced internal strength.
It’s already a miracle that wild ball boxing can be spread to this day.
In Jiangfu's courtyard, the courtyard has already been lit up with giant red lanterns.
Seeing this giant red lantern, many guests secretly smacked their lips. The Jiang family's ostentation was indeed quite impressive.
The lights in this giant lantern are not ordinary candles, but blubber candles. Just the cost of the giant candles for one night is unknown.
After Jiang Tianxiong and the distinguished guests sat down at the table one by one, the other heroes took their seats in order according to their positions in the hall. Only then did Huang Xiaoshi realize that he was not in the second hall, but the place he had just stayed in was the third hall.
Between him and the leader, there is a seat of disciples from the sect.
Of course, Huang Xiaoshi's seat is not the one at the back. There are more than a dozen tables at the end, which are occupied by neighbors on Jiangfu Street.
After everyone sat down, not long after, delicacies with all the colors, flavors, and aromas were passed around like flowing water.
The birthday party has begun.
…
Huang Xiaoshi, who had eaten a few plates of kimchi at noon, looked at the table full of delicacies and smelled the fragrance. Although he had seen the world, he swallowed his saliva.
Huang Xiaoshi took a sneak peek and saw that the people at this table were actually similar to himself. They were all staring blankly at the dishes on the table, their souls almost being taken away by the aroma.
You are not allowed to use chopsticks at this time. According to the rules, the host must have three drinks with everyone before the banquet officially begins.
After all the dishes were served, Jiang Tianxiong stood up with a drink in one hand.
"Dear relatives, friends, and martial arts colleagues." Although Jiang Mansion's courtyard is very large, Jiang Tianxiong's voice is extremely strong. His voice is not loud, but everyone can hear it clearly.
"Today, I will reach the age of fifty. This is the day when my mother is in trouble. Unfortunately, my mother has been dead for many years. It is really sad to think that my mother is in trouble and my son has no filial piety to respect!"
As soon as the show started, Jiang Tianxiong choked up after saying a few words.
Huang Xiaoshi had seen this kind of sensational stuff a lot, and he didn't feel much about it. But Huang Xiaoshi looked around and saw that everyone else was very attracted to it.
After a while, Jiang Tianxiong stopped his emotions and said loudly: "Decades of life are like a fleeting moment. Jiang has also reached the age of knowing his destiny. In this life, Jiang is satisfied.
Come and drink from this cup."
When Jiang Tianxiong said this, everyone stood up and said in unison: "Drink."
Finished the first glass of wine.
After everyone sat down, Jiang Tianxiong bent down, picked up the wine bottle on the table, filled the wine glass, and then said: "Today I met many outstanding figures in the world, very good, very good.
There is a saying: The waves behind you in the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Those who come after you are to be feared, and those who come after you are to be feared.
Come, we old arms and legs, come and toast the young talents of today."
Everyone stood up amid applause and drank the second cup together.
Afterwards, Jiang Tianxiong picked up the third glass of wine and said to everyone: "I wish you good luck in the new year, peace for the country and the people, and a prosperous martial arts world."
“Best wishes together!”
After these three glasses of wine, it is also called three rounds of wine, and finally the banquet can begin.
Jiang Tianxiong made a gesture to everyone and said: "The banquet is simple. If there is any negligence, I hope you will forgive me. Please!"
The word "please" was like the starting gun in a game. Before he finished speaking, the big fat chicken that Huang Xiaoshi had been thinking about for a long time was gone in an instant.
"A bunch of ignorant guys, look at the way you are eating."
Huang Xiaoshi was very contemptuous of those at the same table.
By the way, since they are all sitting in the third hall, they are all from the bottom of the world, so they don't care about food and appearance.
There is no such thing as using chopsticks like the wind, because both hands are used to grab them directly.
Fortunately, Huang Xiaoshi had quick eyesight and quick hands. He picked up the plate of shredded pork that was closest to him. The other dishes were all poisoned by those people.
Huang Xiaoshi sighed slightly in his heart. The worst-looking people were the tables he was at.
Looking up, you can see that they are all people from a well-established sect, and they are quite polite.
Looking down, they are all neighbors. It is too ugly and embarrassing to eat.
Just at these tables, everyone knows who. Anyway, after today is over, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you and me to see each other again.
Then what kind of etiquette is there?
…
Spring has arrived in February, and the cool breeze after nightfall brings a sense of refreshment to the heroes who are drinking and drinking.
As the dishes passed through, the scene gradually became lively.
When Jiang Yu knelt in front of Jiang Tianxiong with a bowl of longevity noodles in both hands, the warm atmosphere reached its climax.
"Son Jiang Yu, I wish my father a fifty-year birthday." Jiang Yu knelt on the ground upright, respectfully held the tray high, and presented a bowl of longevity noodles to Jiang Tianxiong.
Jiang Tianxiong picked up the longevity noodles, took a bite with his chopsticks, and said "good noodles" with tears in his eyes. At this moment, the applause was loud, and many people saw it with tears in their eyes.
Just as the heroes were preparing to witness the curtain call of a legendary figure, they heard a loud shout. The sound was not loud, but it actually suppressed the cheers of the heroes.
Everyone turned their heads and saw a woman and four men standing on the high wall of the Jiang family. The woman wearing a bright red gauze dress made the shout just now.
I saw that this woman was extremely charming. The bright red gauze dress on her body looked like a long skirt and a dance costume. At the end of her bare shoulders and jade arms, there were a pair of slender hands dyed with long red nails.
The breeze blew by, and the hem of her gauze dress floated up with the wind, vaguely revealing a bit of snow-white color, adding a bit of enchantment to her charm.
When many half-drunk men saw this woman, blood rushed to their minds. If they hadn't thought that today was Jiang Tianxiong's birthday party, they would have pounced on her like hungry dogs.
"Master Jiang, my Tianlong Sect wishes you a happy birthday, but you are a little late?" The woman in red said in a seductive voice. Her voice was soft and charming, charming and coquettish, which made people yearn for it as soon as they heard it.
Huang Xiaoshi nodded. Yasha, who is known as the most beautiful woman in the Tianlong Sect, really deserves her reputation.
Yasha appeared with a look of astonishment.
Thank you for your tips. Today is also the fourth update, and single chapters will be restored tomorrow.
