The banquet of Duobao Trading House came as scheduled. The banquet was of a very high level and was set up directly in the largest banquet hall on the second floor of Duobao Trading House.
But in fact, only two people were invited. One was the lord of the Acropolis, Jiang Xin, and the other was a son from the direct line of the Kang family. The former had a high status, but he only lived in the area of three acres in the Acropolis.
The land subdivision has some reputation, while the latter can be said to be unknown except for its family background which is pretty good.
A banquet attended by only the two of them would naturally not attract too much attention. However, most people in the Acropolis did not know that there would be a great chaos sweeping the whole city. Tonight, from this unprecedented event,
The dazzling banquet began.
"City Lord Jiang, you came a little early today. Why are you so free today?" Mo Shangyu, who was chatting with Zuo Feng, saw someone leading City Lord Jiang Xin to him. He couldn't help but be slightly startled, and then smiled.
He spoke.
Hearing this, Jiang Xin, who had just stepped into the room, had a flash of dissatisfaction on his face. In this acropolis, no one knew that the city lord Jiang Xin was a famous "late king" who would always attend no matter how big or small the banquet.
He was late, and he flaunted it himself, saying that "distinguished guests must arrive late."
With Jiang Xin's words, everyone has become accustomed to being late. Now that the other party is not late, it seems a bit unexpected. Originally, you, Mo Shangyu, were just surprised about this matter, but you have to say it out loud.
Doesn't it make Jiang Xin feel a little uncomfortable?
"I said, Manager Mo, it is you who hosted the banquet today. I'm not late. Do you still think it's inappropriate? I'll go back now."
While speaking, Jiang Xin had already turned around and left. Although he knew that the other party was just showing off, Guanshi Mo couldn't ignore it. He rushed over to catch Jiang Xin and apologized with a smile on his face.
Originally, only Zuo Feng and Jiang Xin were invited to this banquet. Since these two people have already arrived, the banquet can start immediately.
This banquet hall is extremely spacious. It is much larger than the room Zuo Feng came to the day before yesterday. Therefore, if the three of them sit around in the hall, it will seem a bit too empty. If they go to the corner of the room, it will be too empty.
This is not the way to treat guests.
Duobao Trading House is obviously very experienced in this kind of thing. Someone has already surrounded three sides with static screens, leaving only one side facing the window facing the street.
The exquisiteness can be appreciated.
As soon as the three of them sat down, food and wine were served in an endless stream. All the dishes were freshly prepared, and they looked no worse than those in restaurants outside.
In fact, for a power like Duobao Trading House, the level of the kitchen below will not be much worse. It's just that going to the restaurant on weekdays is for the sake of ostentation and face, not really for the lust of words.
The three of them sat around the table. Zuo Feng's mind was not focused on the meal at all at this time, but strangely, Mo Shangyu and Jiang Xin in front of him seemed more absent-minded than himself.
This strange scene made Zuo Feng a little confused, but he couldn't ask, so he could only wait silently for the two of them to speak out.
Soon Jiang Xin spoke up and said: "I have been the city lord for some years, but I have never encountered such a strange thing. The monsters in the whole city rioted at the same time. Do you think there is anything weirder than this?
"
Hearing this, Mo Shangyu also immediately sighed and said: "Who says it's not the case? I have lived a long life, and this is the first time I saw such a scene. I really agreed with what the young man said."
See you soon!"
After sighing with emotion, Mo Shangyu couldn't help but put his hands on the desk, raised his head and sighed heavily.
Feeling the solemn atmosphere at the banquet, Zuo Feng finally understood the reason why the two people looked so solemn. The two people in front of him didn't know the reason for the monster riot, which was not surprising. After all, how many humans have it?
Of course, Zuo Feng, who has the blood of the beast race, would not be able to answer their questions, so he could only sit here with them in silence.
Feeling that the atmosphere was a bit too heavy, Jiang Xin thought about it and said with some confusion: "When the monster beasts rioted, I heard that many trading houses and auction houses were directly affected and suffered losses, and some even
The losses were quite serious.
You must have heard that in the animal pen directly under the city lord's palace, twenty-three people were killed and devoured on the spot, and dozens more were seriously injured. I heard that there seemed to be no casualties in your Duobao Trading House. Is this the case?
Do you still feel dissatisfied if you don't care about the loss?"
Hearing this, Guanshi Mo sighed heavily and said: "If it were just Duobao Trading House's loss, I really wouldn't be qualified to sigh here. Instead, I would like to comfort City Master Jiang.
But you don’t know that the night before yesterday, Benxiao Pavilion suddenly sent someone to deliver a letter from the high priest, ordering us to immediately send people out of the city to hunt down the escaped monster mounts. Now we have to send people there. If the pursuit goes well, it will be okay.
If it is not handled well, this matter will be extremely troublesome, and then the high priest can directly hold the person responsible."
Hearing this, Jiang Xin had a look of surprise on her face and couldn't help but said: "So that's it. No wonder the city gate reported the night before yesterday that a team of trading houses left the city, and they were still holding the high priest's token. It turned out that
There is something strange about it.
It is indeed not easy for Wu Tian to sit in the position of the master of the Yu Pavilion of the Benxiao Pavilion at such a young age. He just pushed the matter to Duobao Trading House in an understatement."
"Hmph." Mo Shangyu puffed out a puff of air from his nose and said angrily: "If it was Wu Tian's idea, I wouldn't be so angry, but this idea came from Lin Hu. You
I also knew that there was some friction between me and him, but I didn’t expect that this guy would use his public weapon for personal use to retaliate against me.”
"It turned out to be that Lin Hu. Hasn't this guy been excluded from the circle of power a long time ago?" Jiang Xin was filled with confusion, but while speaking, she inadvertently turned her head and glanced at the man who had never said a word.
Left wind.
This Zuo Feng was not from the Acropolis, and it was understandable that he didn't care much about the current troubles in the Acropolis. But when he turned around, Jiang Xin happened to see Zuo Feng's expression being extremely ugly.
It's no wonder that Zuo Feng's face is ugly. Others may not know what's wrong, but Zuo Feng is the one who knows Lin Hu's intentions. Now that the other party has played such a trick, it seems that he is deliberately retaliating against Mo Guanshi, but the reason why he
If you do this, you must be doing it for yourself.
He originally thought that everything was in his plan, but until this moment, Zuo Feng realized that he might have thought about things too simply.
A small pavilion master of the Yu Pavilion in the Benxiao Pavilion possesses energy that he could not imagine. He just made an understatement and directly transferred a large number of strong people from Duobao Trading House. It can be seen that
Chu Linhu still has power in his hands, even if it is just borrowed power.
Zuo Feng, who understood this, regretted that he had made such a hasty plan, or that he should not have forced the other party to take action in such a hurry. If the time had not been limited, Lin Hu would have had no choice but to use these means to increase his own
Odds of winning.
Today, Zuo Feng has to worry about whether Lin Hu has other means. If there are other plans, not only may the plan fail tonight, but several people, including himself, may be in danger.
Just at this time, Manager Mo's voice came, saying: "Mr. Kang, Mr. Kang!"
"ah!"
Turning his head with a look of surprise on his face, Zuo Feng happened to meet the confused eyes of Manager Mo and Jiang Xin. Zuo Feng secretly blamed himself. Even if there were any special changes in the situation, he should not have been so rude.
"Why are Mr. Kang so distracted? Don't you still know something about the monster riot?" Jiang Xin asked tentatively while looking at Zuo Feng.
Zuo Feng, who had recovered at this time, although he secretly blamed himself, quickly regained his composure. After thinking about it for a while, he shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "City Lord Jiang really thinks too highly of me. I come from Xuanwu."
The empire has never seen a few demonic beasts, so how could one know where the demonic beast riots came from.”
As he spoke, he turned to look at Mo Shangyu, then stood up and saluted respectfully. Under the incomprehensible looks on Mo Shangyu and Jiang Xin's eyes, Zuo Feng continued.
"Mo Guanshiben has nothing to do with Linhu. It was not because of me a few days ago that we had a rift with each other. This time Linhu deliberately plotted against Duobao Trading House. After all, it was not because of me. In his heart
I really feel guilty.”
While Zuo Feng was speaking, he bowed deeply again and saluted Mo Shangyu. This made Mo Shangyu unable to sit still, and he quickly helped Zuo Feng up.
"What Mr. Kang said is serious. Although the matter started because of you, in the end it was Lin Hu who was unreasonable and pretended to be public and private to avenge his own grievances. It would have been fine if he had dealt with others, but he actually dared to bully
When it comes to my Duobao trading outfit, we will never end this matter with him."
Jiang Xin, who was sitting aside, also spoke at this moment: "This Linhu is a mad dog now. She is not loved by her grandma and uncle. She will be kicked out of the position of the little master of Bixiao Pavilion sooner or later. Young Master Kang and Manager Mo really don't need her.
Take him into consideration.
Moreover, during this monster riot, it seems that our losses are serious, but you may not know that the majority of the losses are the mounts outside the city. More than half of the monster mounts in the hands of the Sacrifice Hall branch and Benxiao Pavilion are outside the city. Now,
He escaped completely. He didn't want to leave this matter to Duobao Trading House and just forget about it. He thought beautifully!"
At this point, Jiang Xin said mysteriously: "The demonic beast mounts rioted outside the city, and things were basically completely blocked, but I got the news. Not only the warriors who tamed the demonic beasts and guarded the demonic beasts...
Death, even the warriors of Benxiao Pavilion were almost wiped out."
Hearing these words, Mo Shangyu's eyes bulged slightly. It was obvious that he had never heard this information before. At this time, he was so shocked by the news that he opened his mouth wide and could not close it for a long time.
