Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 11 Banquet
After sending Ling Tianfang away, Wu Feng felt indescribably happy, a thousand soldiers are easy to get, but a general is hard to find. It is said that people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. Once a person becomes famous, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion and jealousy of others, which will add a lot of trouble and resistance. Thinking that being famous can bring such benefits, and being able to attract outstanding figures like Ling Tianfang to join him, it is worth paying some price. It seems that everything is contradictory, there are advantages and disadvantages, it's just a trade-off.
----The sun is already in the west, and winter nights always come earlier, Wufeng glanced at the invitation card on the desk. The most romantic place----Pinhualou for banquets. Wufeng has heard about this Pinhuaju for a long time. As early as when he was still in the third division of the City Guard Corps, Wufeng heard about this place from his colleagues, but it is said that it is not only expensive, but also not for everyone. You can go there, and there are certain restrictions on the identity of the guests who come here. Everyone who comes here must abide by the rules here, which is full of mystery. It can be imagined that its backstage boss is absolutely extraordinary.
----Bringing four guards, Wufeng boarded the carriage provided by the posthouse and set off for Liujin Street in the Eastern District of the Imperial Capital. Liujin Street is located in the very center of the Eastern District of the Imperial Capital. Just from the name, one can imagine the bustling scene there. At night, there is a lot of traffic and feasting. Any normal man will feel a little drunk even if he only stays on the street for a while. meaning. This is the area with the most concentration of romantic venues. Rouge from the North, beauties from the south of the Yangtze River, and beauties from the Western Regions can be seen everywhere. As long as you can afford it, you can choose beauties from all nationalities from all over the continent.
----Passing through several streets, the carriage turned into Liujin Street. At this time, the sky was already dark, and the whole street was covered with all kinds of lanterns, decorating the street with overflowing light Colorful, too beautiful to behold. Although Wufeng is a native of the imperial capital, he has never been to these places. It's not that he doesn't want to come, but he can't afford it. Maybe his one-year salary is not enough to live comfortably for one night. But today is different, there is a treat from the eldest prince, just let go and enjoy it without thinking about other things, thinking of this, Wufeng sitting in the carriage couldn't help but laugh out loud.
----The four guards who followed on horseback heard their boss laughing strangely in the carriage, fearing that something might go wrong, they quickly knocked on the carriage, "My lord, do you have any orders? "
----Wu Feng also found himself a bit out of control, but fortunately there was no one around, so he quickly replied: "It's nothing, where are you now?"
---- "Return to your lord, you have arrived at Liujin Street."
----Wu Feng lifted part of the curtain, and he was also surprised by the bustling level of the street. Buildings of various styles are lined up on both sides of the street, and each building is more luxurious than the other, and the decoration is more luxurious than the other, which is amazing. The coachman obviously often comes to these places, and he is very familiar with the carriage parked in front of a gate that does not look much more surprising than the surrounding buildings. There are all kinds of luxurious carriages parked in front of the gate, judging from the marks of the carriages. They are all high-level nobles and even royal families in the imperial capital, and there are almost no such ordinary official carriages that Wufeng rides on.
----Wu Feng got off the stopped carriage, and the four guards got off their horses too. On the top of the gate there are three large characters in official script - Pin Hua Lou. Wufeng knew at a glance that these characters were written by Wang Fuzhi, a famous calligrapher of the dynasty. It can be said that the characters are not fake at all. Wang Fuzhi is the most famous calligrapher in this dynasty. When he was young, he was famous for splashing ink once he was drunk. He was known as "the first stroke in the north". As early as twenty years ago, I had sealed my pen at home and thanked guests behind closed doors. It is difficult for the princes and nobles to ask for an authentic work. There are only a handful of his authentic works that can be seen in the world, because there are not many works that he felt satisfied with in his life, and even fewer works have been circulated outside. I can see that this trip is not in vain.
----A middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper standing under the door plate saw that Wufeng got off the car and carefully observed the big plaque above the gate. He knew that he was not a commoner. Although Wufeng was dressed very casually, he People like them have long been used to seeing guests coming and going, knowing that guests coming to these places cannot be judged by their appearance, so they hurriedly greeted them.
---- "Sir, are you here to rest in our building?" The tone was very polite.
---- Wufeng nodded, "That's right, it's here."
---- "I don't know if Mr. has a VIP card?"
----"No, what VIP card?" Wu Feng was taken aback.
----"I'm sorry, sir may not know the rules here, all our guests here need to apply for a card, and they are not completely open to the public. If you don't mind the trouble, you can come to our reception room, we can Get a VIP card for sir soon." The middle-aged butler was quite polite.
----"Oh? What procedures do I need to apply for a VIP card?"
----"Sir, you only need to provide the necessary proof of identity. If you meet our conditions, it can be done right away." The middle-aged housekeeper is very skillful in speaking. As for the ones that don't meet their conditions, I leave it to you to consider.
----Wufeng was a little annoyed, he thought he would be able to be free and unrestrained for a while, but he would encounter such troubles, "But someone has already asked me to come here?" face?
---- When the middle-aged butler heard that someone had made an appointment, he quickly apologized: "Oh, I'm sorry, who made an appointment with you?"
---- "It's His Royal Highness." Wu Feng replied resentfully.
----"Oh, I'm really sorry, but you are Mrs. Li? His Highness is already waiting for you inside. Your VIP card, His Highness has already arranged for you." The middle-aged housekeeper apologized repeatedly. He had already said hello, but he never thought that the distinguished guest invited by the First Prince of the Empire would be such a casually dressed young man.
"Oh? I thought His Highness and the others hadn't arrived yet." Wufeng breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't bring any money with him. If His Highness and the others didn't come, he would make a fool of himself in public. "Then we can go in."
"Please, Your Majesty and the others are in the water and clouds. I will guide you." The middle-aged housekeeper was very attentive.
No front and no humility, enter with head held high. The entire Pinhua Building occupies a considerable area. In this area where every inch of land is expensive, one can imagine how much money was spent to build this Pinhua Building. Along the way, small bridges and courtyards, winding corridors, sometimes rockery streams in the middle, ancient trees and green bamboos, under the illumination of uniquely shaped lanterns, it is more like a fairyland on earth. Wufeng couldn't help but sigh that the owner of Pinhuaju did not know which famous architectural design expert he had hired to build it for him. It can be called a masterpiece in the architectural circles of the imperial capital.
After bypassing several small courtyards, Wufeng was brought to a pond. The pond was very large, and an air corridor led to a building complex in the pond. "His Royal Highness and the others are already waiting for you inside." The middle-aged butler looked at Wufeng respectfully.
"Okay then, you lead the way ahead, let someone arrange for my brothers." Wufeng also knew that he must be the only one going in again, so he simply asked them to arrange for them generously. I believe that at this time, There is no question of your own safety. Several guards still wanted to dissuade them, but they were all stopped by Wufeng waving.
"Lord Li is here, come, please come inside, His Highness is already inside." Wu Feng just stepped into the gate of the courtyard. A burly man from inside came out to greet Wufeng very warmly.
"Oh, it's Mrs. Frey. You came early. I'm so sorry. It's my first time here. I'm not familiar with it. It took me a while to keep you waiting." Wu Feng recognized the person who greeted him at a glance The burly man is Earl Frey, the deputy head of the Imperial Guard. It seems that his relationship with His Royal Highness is also extraordinary.
"Where, where, I accompanied His Highness and they just arrived, so don't see each other like this, you two are also out of our guard system, so let's get closer in the future. Let's go and sit down first. Let’s talk about it later.” Frey affectionately pulled Wufeng and walked inside.
As soon as he stepped into the hall, a warm breath came over his face. A maid had already stepped forward to undress Wufeng and take off the wind outside. Looking at himself, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, Situ Tai also politely helped Wufeng up, and then each took his place.
In the hall besides Earl Frey, there were two other people who Wufeng didn't know. Situ Tai saw Wufeng's expression and knew that Wufeng didn't know them. He smiled and introduced Wufeng: "Wufeng, You may not know these two, this one is Master Xue Baiying, the chief of the imperial police station, and this one is Mr. Fu Jian, the head of the Sunset Sect, the largest martial arts sect in our imperial capital."
Wu Feng hurriedly stepped forward to salute, the two of them also returned the salute very politely, after some chatter, the five of them sat down at the table. Wufeng sat in the table, and at the same time, he was thinking rapidly. Xue Baiying was the chief of the Imperial City Police Department. He had heard about it for a long time. This person was quite sophisticated and tactful. , I haven't heard that he has any special relationship with Situ Tai. As for the origin of this Fujian, it is even more strange. The Sunset Sect is one of the three major martial arts sects in the imperial capital, and its strength is second to none in the entire imperial martial arts. Since then, he has disappeared, and the party claimed that Han Xiao went crazy in his practice, lost all his martial arts, and was too sad, so he resigned from the position of head and went out for a wandering. As for the real inside story, it is not known by ordinary people. However, the strength of this sunset faction is indeed extraordinary, and many grassroots officers in the guard system are from this faction.
The banquet has officially started. No need to ask, the dishes served are of course delicacies from mountains and seas. The wine is also the world-famous Dolbo white wine produced in the Western Continent Hansen Alliance. It is mellow and refreshing with a long aftertaste. After thirty days of wine and five flavors of food, Situ Tai also asked about Qingyang's customs, customs, geography and landscape from time to time. Wufeng also took this opportunity to reflect to Situ Tai the current practical difficulties in Qingyang, and hoped that His Highness would do what he could to help him. Situ Tai readily agreed to Wufeng's request and expressed his willingness to help Wufeng do a good job in all aspects.
The atmosphere of the banquet was quite relaxed, and Situ Tai didn't ask too much about Wufeng's other situations. Wufeng was also quite puzzled, but he didn't think too much about it. Pinhualou also presented their repertoire during the banquet. Two young girls from mainland China performed a hula dance with very ethnic characteristics, but the two girls wore very few clothes. A gauze garment as thin as a cicada's wings, a soft and boneless body, combined with the intense music, several vital areas loomed, and the five people present were all attracted. When the two girls left the stage, the five of them still felt a little unfinished~IndoMTL.com~ Although Wufeng was also a little intoxicated, because the dance of these two girls had worked hard, and it was very good for men. Provocative power, especially in this kind of occasion, even Wufeng is a little bit shaken, but as a martial arts practitioner, he always has a feeling of being secretly watched, like a thorn in his back. But Wufeng didn't let people realize that he was aware of this, pretending to be completely intoxicated by it.
After the banquet, Frey and the three of them went to another courtyard of Pinhua Building, where the exciting nightlife began. Situ Tai bid farewell to the four with other matters.
Back at the dinner party, a thin old man was already waiting for Situ Tai. He waved his hand to let the following guards go out and closed the door. Situ Tai asked the thin old man, "How is it? Old Leng."
"I can't see the depth now, this kid looks very lustful, but I always feel that he is not completely intoxicated, as if he is always awake, but this is just my intuition, maybe I am worrying too much. "Sighed lightly, Leng Qian replied.
"Well, let's just observe and observe. We didn't think that today would be a big deal. However, the two guys Xue Baiying and Fu Jian may make Monk Zhang Er confused. Usually these two guys are always cool It's not hot, after today's banquet, they can't figure it out themselves, it's enough for the third, seventh, and ninth brothers to want to break their heads, let them go to be suspicious, hahaha!" Situ Tai was very happy.
"Well, your Highnesses definitely couldn't imagine how Xue Baiying and Fu Jian would join us in such a secret and important place. They would definitely think that these two people are already His Highness's people. You will be excluded by them, and in a short time, these two people will obediently serve you, Your Highness." Leng Qian was also very satisfied with the scheme he designed.
