Lan Ke Qi Yuan Chapter 143: Smiling Tiger
Du Heng frowned and looked around. This corridor was still some distance away from the banquet location. There was a garden next to it. Lu Chengfeng was able to find it after asking the two Du family members who came with him.
The head of the Wei family was a busy man today, so even if he was passing by, he wouldn't have to wait so long. Du Heng remembered that Lu Chengfeng mentioned Mr. Ji and talked about it for a long time before leaving.
However, Du Heng was slightly surprised when Wei Wuwei said he knew Mr. Ji.
In fact, when they just left Ning'an County, the nine of them had a fairly close relationship. Of course, they all knew where Ji Yuan lived in Ning'an County and the jujube trees in the courtyard. Wei Wuwei's words should be true.
"Master Wei, when did you meet Mr. Ji? After leaving, Lu Chengfeng went back to look for Mr. Ji at the end of the year, saying that the house had been empty by that time."
"Hey, this Lu Chengfeng is really good at being a good person. He will tell you after looking for it himself!"
Wei Wuwei smiled, looked in the direction of the corridor, and then sat down next to Du Heng.
"I, Wei Wuwei, naturally met the husband in Ning'an County. I went to buy tiger skins. Later, I caught some bandits and stayed in the county for a while, and I got to know the husband very much. I received some teachings from him!”
Du Heng is not from Desheng Mansion, otherwise he would definitely think of the sensational incident of the Thirteen Thieves of Yan Di and the murder of the mastermind behind it, which made Wei Wuwei famous and made people understand that the new head of the Wei family has always been incompetent in martial arts. He is just pretending. He is not only good at martial arts, but also has superb martial arts skills.
After that time, Wei Wuwei's nickname of "Smiling Tiger" spread out.
Wei Wuwei sat down next to Du Heng with a smile and looked him up and down.
"Mr. Ji really told you back then that your future would be limitless if you survived this disaster?"
"Well... when we were resting on the way down the mountain, my husband said this, but it was just a word of comfort to me. Now Du is half a cripple..."
"Has Mr. Ji ever said this to other people, such as the unparalleled Lu Chengfeng?"
Wei Wuwei asked, Du Heng thought for a moment and hesitated:
"It seems... not."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk..."
Wei Wuwei is always smiling, even though he still doesn't know how Jiu Shaoxia met Mr. Ji, whether it was after fighting the tiger or before, and how he sent Mr. Ji to Ning'an County.
But in a few words, Wei Wuwei was sure that although the Nine Young Heroes had known Mr. Ji relatively early, they had no idea what kind of person Mr. Ji was.
The scene of the old turtle lamenting by the Chunmu River outside Chunhui Mansion was something Wei Wuwei would never forget.
"I don't think that Lu Chengfeng is too great, but it's you, Du Shaoxia, hehehe... Since even Mr. has left such a message for you, don't belittle yourself!"
Du Heng smiled helplessly.
"Thank you for the consolation, Master Wei. Over the past few years, I have become more open-minded. I had ambitions when I had just endured the pain of a broken arm, but now...even the people in my clan no longer have any hope for me. There is hope..."
"Are you looking away? Hey, I don't think so!"
Wei Wuwei was very aware of Du Heng's unwillingness just now. He hid aside and eavesdropped for a long time.
"Furthermore, do you think you have survived what Mr. Ji calls 'that calamity'?"
Du Heng was slightly shocked. He looked at Wei Wuwei's always smiling face and subconsciously reached out to touch the empty sleeve of his right arm.
Wei Wuwei quietly approached Du Heng’s ear and whispered:
"I have also studied some ancient books about immortals. For a **** like Mr. Ji, the so-called calamity is not just physical pain. Do you really think that the broken arm is healed and you can survive it? Hey, calamity is a calamity, Isn’t it more like that now?”
Du Heng felt goosebumps for a moment when he faced Wei Wuwei, who was a bit nagging.
Looking at the young man with a vicissitudes of life, Wei Wuwei did not disturb him for the time being, and waited until he showed some astonishment before continuing to speak.
"Okay, now you can tell me how you met Mr. Ji. Mr. Ji has also been a great benefactor to me, and I also want to know more about my benefactor."
Wei Wuwei put his hands in each other's sleeves, and with his chubby and smiling look, he looked more like a country squire and an old rich man. However, this scene reminded Du Heng of the opponent's rarely mentioned Jianghu name. , Smiling Tiger.
"Actually, we deserve the title of the so-called tiger fighting hero in Ning'an County...if it hadn't been for Mr. Ji that time..."
Du Heng did not hesitate any longer and slowly told what had happened.
Nine Young Heroes were young and energetic, and they were trying to eliminate tigers on the mountain. They met a strange person but ignored them and warned them. As a result, they almost died when they encountered a tiger demon...
The story was more twists and turns than Wei Wuwei imagined. He didn't expect that the white tiger skin was just spit out by the tiger demon and gave it to the Nine Young Masters. He also didn't expect that the gentle and gentle Mr. Ji would be sloppy at times. But then he thought about it. It's not surprising considering how Takato chooses to show up.
Not to mention getting rid of the evil man-eating tiger, these nine people are extremely lucky to be able to save a life.
After listening to the whole story until Jiu Shaoxia left Ning'an County, Wei Wuwei finally determined that these nine people didn't know much about Ji Yuan, or in other words, too little, even less than he, Wei, knew. many.
Even as for the agreement with the tiger demon, Du Heng's mood did not fluctuate much when he mentioned it, and his tone was calm. Judging from Wei Wuwei's experience in dealing with people, these people may have thought that Mr. Ji was trying to save their lives. An argument used to deliberately prevaricate the tiger demon.
"Since Lu Chengfeng has been to Ning'an County during the New Year, has he told you the allusion about the fruit of the jujube tree that was given to the husband?"
Hearing Wei Wuwei ask this again, Du Heng frowned.
"What an allusion, I have never heard of it."
"Oh haha... maybe Mr. Lu didn't have time to hear it, so he didn't tell you hahaha..."
Wei Wuwei smiled and explained.
The sound outside became lively, and it must be that a banquet was about to begin.
"Let's go, Du Shaoxia, my son's full moon party is about to begin. As a father, I can't be absent, and you are also indispensable. Don't get drunk here alone!"
Wei Wuwei patted his **** and stood up to take the first step. His pot-bellied body seemed to be twisting as he walked. After walking a few steps, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Du Heng again, who had just stood up.
"Du Shaoxia, there is something I have to remind you. The tiger-demon promise will probably be fatal. You will forget about it in three years. What about thirty years? I hit it off with you, so I just said a word, don't Don’t take it to heart, hehehehe..."
After saying this, Wei Wuwei strode away. In addition to the garden, when he arrived at the banquet garden, there was a sound of "congratulations", looking for Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com, and he also politely returned greetings to everyone.
. . .
The banquet had already begun when Du Heng returned to the two of his clan. The servants of the Wei family took turns serving the dishes, and even three charcoal-heated copper hot pots were prepared for each table to add some warmth to the banquet.
For this place in Jizhou, this way of eating is very new. All the guests praised the hot pot. Du Heng even changed his past decadence. He didn’t drink much wine and just kept holding chopsticks in his left hand. Keep boiling meat and eating it.
"What happened to Brother Heng today?"
“I don’t know, but it’s been a long time since I’ve seen Brother Heng have such a good appetite!”
"We eat too, otherwise Brother Heng will finish it all!"
"Yes, yes, we have to wait so long on the way back, and we won't be able to catch up with the Chinese New Year, so we have to eat here!"
The two of them are considered close cousins of Du Heng's clan. They exchanged a few words and hurriedly started eating.
After all, Du Heng was once a genius that the Du family had high hopes for. Even if his wings are broken now, some elders in the family still care about him and have thought about letting him give up martial arts and take charge of other family industries. However, he has been unwilling to do so. It is some decadence that makes today's exception so unwelcome.
But Wei Wuwei's words today cannot be said to have inspired Du Heng, but they made him no longer want to be decadent. Since he has come to Desheng Mansion again, and since he can't go home in time for the New Year, he might as well go there again after finishing this full moon banquet. Once in Ning'an County!
