Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 214: Burning Tail Feast and Spring

"Congratulations, everyone. After ten years of hard study, you have finally made it to the top of the list. From now on, you will soar up to the sky like a roc in the wind!"

Liu Shangqiu walked over with a smile and raised his glass to congratulate Lu You and the other three.

Although the four people did not recognize Liu Shangqiu, they quickly stood up and raised their glasses.

Yang Yuan stood up and introduced the two parties with a smile: "This is my friend, Deputy Commander Liu of the next command post of the Imperial City Division. Brother Liu, this is Brother Yu Binfu, and this is..."

Yang Yuan introduced them one by one. Yu Yunwen and the other four Jinshi were all literati who advocated war and did not look down on warriors. After listening to Yang Yuan's introduction of Liu Shangqiu's identity, they greeted him with a smile, thanked him and exchanged pleasantries.

Yu Yao Nu stood nearby, but her eyes were always on Yang Yuan.

She didn't expect that her benefactor actually knew Liu Guojiu and seemed to be a government official.

It was really because Yang Yuan had left her with too much mystery, especially his magical ability to turn stone into gold with a song, which made his image in Yu Yao Nu's mind too tall.

Yuyao Nu regarded Yang Yuan as a living immortal who was detached from the mundane world.

At this moment, she suddenly discovered that he had always lived in the human world, and Yuyaonu was naturally very happy.

Yang Yuan introduced Liu Shangqiu, Lu You and others to each other, and took the opportunity when they were chatting and laughing to look at Yu Yao Nu.

He could see that Yuyaonu's eyes were filled with joy, gratitude and even admiration for him, but he just smiled slightly and signaled to her with his eyes.

Yuyao Nu was already alert at this time. What Master Song Ge had done in the past could never be shown to others.

Therefore, she and Master Song Ge should have had no chance to meet before, so she could only suppress her excitement and smile at him politely as if they had just met for the first time.

Her gratitude and thanks were all expressed in a smile.

There must be something going on between them!
Leng Yuchan was sitting nearby, but she caught the eye contact between Yang Yuan and Yu Yao Nu.

Wait! This woman is Liu Guojiu's female companion! Hiss...

Leng Yuchan's pupils suddenly dilated, as if she had... discovered a huge secret.

Yang Yuan...how dare he!
Is he really so shameless?
Liu Shangqiu came over to toast, but his real intention was to toast Yang Yuan.

But at the moment he could only control his temper, and first chatted and laughed with the four new scholars, invited the four scholars to take a seat, and then turned to Yang Yuan.

"Yuyao, this is Deputy Secretary Yang of the Privy Council. Erlang, this is my female companion, the Yuyao slave Yu Dajia who is now very popular in Lin'an."

Yang Yuan pretended to be surprised, stood up and said, "Ah! So it's Master Yu who's here in person. I'm so sorry, so sorry!"

Leng Yuchan sneered in her heart, "Pretend! Keep pretending! If you two didn't know each other before, I would eat the plate!"
Humph! Blind bear, you are pretending to be serious!
Leng Yuchan was angry and sad at this moment.

What made me angry was that Yang Yuan was shameless and flirted with everyone. It was embarrassing to be around him.

The sad thing is that she used to like Yu Yao Nu and her songs so much. Do you understand how she felt?
Yuyao slave pretended to meet Yang Yuan for the first time, smiled gently at him and said, "Yuyao is just a singer, how dare I accept such respect from Deputy Secretary Yang!"

Yang Yuan said, "Miss Yuyao, you are too modest. Miss Yuyao's songs are popular all over the world, and I can sing them. I never thought that I would be able to see Miss Yuyao's true face today. It is really a great honor."

When Liu Shangqiu heard Yang Yuan praising Yuyao Nu, he couldn't help but feel proud.

He laughed and said, "Erlang, the girl next to you is..."

Yang Yuan hurriedly introduced: "Oh, this is my female companion, Miss Leng..."

When Leng Yuchan heard that she was being mentioned, she stood up and bowed to Liu Shangqiu.

Liu Shangqiu said with a smile: "Miss Leng is like the cold fragrance of a winter plum, pure and beautiful."

Leng Yuchan smiled faintly: "Deputy Commander Liu, thank you for your compliment."

After saying that, she glanced quickly at Yang Yuan.

Look, look, look at the vision of Uncle Liu.

Humph! I accidentally sat on your lap, which was already a good thing for you, but you actually brushed off your clothes with a look of disgust on your face!
Miss Leng is still brooding over this matter and has never forgotten it, mainly because it hurt her self-esteem.

Liu Shangqiu said, "Master Yu, please sit with Miss Leng for a while. I have something to say to Deputy Imperial Secretary Yang."

"Okay! Please do as you wish, sir."

Yuyao Nu smiled gently. She just wanted to know more about her benefactor, but she had only heard one sentence from Liu Shangqiu.

This cold girl must be the benefactor's sweetheart, so it's a good opportunity to ask her about the benefactor's situation.

After Liu Shangqiu finished speaking, he gave Yang Yuan a wink.

Yang Yuan didn't know what he was going to say, so he stood up and walked with him to a pillar.

Leng Yuchan looked at Liu Shangqiu sympathetically. Hey! Uncle Liu's expression doesn't seem so good. You are inviting a wolf into the house, do you know...

Yuyao Nu sat down next to Leng Yuchan and said with a faint smile: "Yuyao is only 29 years old, I wonder how old Miss Leng is?"

Leng Yuchan moved away a little in disgust.

A horse cannot bear two saddles, and a woman cannot have two husbands. This woman is so promiscuous and she is really bringing shame to us women.

Her expression turned cold and she replied, "Oh, I am one year older than Mr. Yu."

Yuyao slave smiled and said, "Ah, then Yuyao should call me sister. Sister and Deputy Imperial Secretary Yang have known each other for a long time, right? I wonder when did you two become a couple?"

Leng Yuchan said indifferently: "Miss, you misunderstood, I am not very familiar with him!"

……

Liu Shangqiu stopped beside the pillar, turned around and looked at Yang Yuan, and asked, "Is Erlang going to go out to sea the day after tomorrow?"

Yang Yuan nodded slightly: "As soon as my ship leaves the dock, Deputy Commander Liu can close the net here."

"Okay! I'll just collect the nets that were set up long ago. There won't be any mistakes."

Liu Shangqiu said seriously: "Has Erlang made a thorough plan? The big fish is with you, so make sure there are no mistakes."

Yang Yuan smiled and said, "Who dares to predict the perfection of worldly affairs? However, those I brought on board are all elite and fast.

Moreover, the Arabs have never doubted our identities, which is the advantage of me being in the dark and him being in the light."

Yang Yuan did not hide his plan from Liu Shangqiu.

This case was originally handled by the Imperial City Bureau.

However, the Imperial City Division would not leave Lin'an, so the Speed ​​Control Office took over. Liu Shangqiu had the right to know the details of the plan. Yang Yuan said, "It is expected that the ship we are on will go out to sea before the afternoon. There are spies of the navy watching there, and the navy's ships will go out to sea in advance to meet us from afar."

"We will wait for the Jin people's pick-up ship to arrive and then set fire to the ship. Among those fake tea leaves, there are not only things that can cause arson, but also things that can produce smoke."

“When the smoke is thick, the navy ships will see the signal and rush to support us in time.

Once the navy ships engage the Jin people and the Tibetan guards, we will suddenly attack them, with both internal and external forces at work!"

Go into the sea before 3 p.m.?
Liu Shangqiu secretly kept the time in mind.

As long as he knew the time of entry into the sea, he could deduce the speed of the foreign fleet's travel along the way, as well as the approximate time of arrival at various docks, and he could then arrange his own actions.

Liu Shangqiu nodded calmly and said with a smile: "If that's the case, then I'm relieved.

After Liu closed the net, he will set up a wine shop in Lin'an, waiting for you, Yang Erlang, to return triumphantly and welcome you back! "

Yang Yuan smiled and said, "This is a joint action between the Imperial City Bureau and the Speed ​​​​Room. If it succeeds, it will be our joint achievement. We should be happy and congratulated together. Haha..."

As they spoke, they raised their glasses and clinked them lightly, expressing their joy.

……

Yuyaonu would of course notice Leng Yuchan's cold attitude, but she had her own interpretation of Leng Yuchan's coldness.

This cold girl really likes her benefactor, right?

So she doesn't like the compliment my benefactor just gave me?
Yuyaonu thought she had found the reason why Leng Yuchan treated her coldly. She did not feel offended but rather happy.

Doesn’t this just prove that Miss Leng and her benefactor are a couple?

Therefore, Yuyaonu did not mind Leng Yuchan's cold attitude and still chatted with her enthusiastically.

Yu Yao Nu tried to find out about her benefactor's recent situation in a roundabout way, and she actually found out some things, including Yang Yuan's real name.

Leng Yuchan saw that Yuyaonu was treated coldly by her, but she still persisted in asking about Yang Yuan's situation, and she became more and more disdainful of her.

You don't even know his current situation, I'm afraid you have been abandoned by him a long time ago?
But you are still reluctant to let go of him. Isn't Uncle Liu good enough?

……

The "Burning Tail Banquet" had a perfect opening speech by Mr. Fan, which immediately brought the atmosphere to a climax.

Then the dishes from the kitchen were served one by one, and the delicious meals immediately conquered the guests' taste buds.

The environment, atmosphere and food were all impeccable, and the atmosphere of the entire banquet was lifted.

But Luxi did not dare to be careless and still sat in the kitchen personally.

After working all night, Dan Niang and Qing Tang, whose heels were sore from standing, both stood by the fence in the corner of the second floor.

The master and the disciple performed the same action, leaning over the railing, taking off one shoe, and stepping one foot on the ground.

Seeing the lively scene in the banquet hall, Dan Niang was very satisfied.

Standing here, you can see the entire banquet hall, and the table where Yang Yuan is sitting is right in the center of your view.

"The Imperial City's Demon Concubine" Liu Shangqiu and "The Flower of Speed" Yang Erlang were standing by the pillar behind the wine table, chatting with smiles.

Zhao Bojiu, the "handsome man on Gushan Mountain", and the four Jinshi, the "fish leaping over the dragon gate", sat at the table, drinking and chatting happily.

Leng Yuchan, who was as beautiful as snow, and Yuyao Nu, who had a smile as beautiful as a flower, sat side by side, whispering softly, like a pair of lotus flowers.

This table of people is truly a pleasure to look at.

Dan Niang thought with a smile, if this scene and mood were put into a painting, it would not be inferior to the artistic conception of "Night Revels of Han Xizai", right?
Xiao Qingtang lay on the railing with his chin supported by his little hands, just like two green leaves holding up a little red flower.

"After looking around, I think my master is the most handsome."

Xiao Qingtang commented seriously, squinted his eyes at Dan Niang, and asked, "Master, when are you going to take down my uncle-in-law?"

"Ah..." Dan Niang sighed deeply and said, "If it's fast, it will be winter next year. If it's slow, it will be early spring the year after next."

"Ah, why are you so late?"

Dan Niang said helplessly, "Because your sister Luxi won't get married until the Mid-Autumn Festival next year. If she doesn't get married, how can I get married? She just got married, how can I get married so soon? Won't it be delayed for a few more months?"

"Oh, that's how it is……"

Qingtang held his chin and secretly made his own plans.

When winter comes next year, she will be fourteen years old.

If it is early spring next year, it will be fifteen years old.

When a girl reaches the age of 15, it is time to find a husband.

My master had just gotten married at that time, so she couldn't take care of me for a while, right?

Then I'll have to wait until I'm sixteen.

What if my master gets me pregnant with a little junior brother or sister by then, and he still has no time to pay attention to me, then I will have to wait until I am seventeen.

"If it is more than half a law, it will be ranked as one. If it is less than half a law, it will be discarded. Round it up and count it as one..."

Oh, I'll be an old maid then!

Xiao Qingtang, who was born in adversity, was immediately filled with a strong sense of crisis.

Then, her eyes fell on the man downstairs who "stood like a fragrant orchid and a jade tree, and smiled like the bright moon in one's arms."

Great Compassion Look at Guanyin - It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others...

Qingtang glanced at Dan Niang beside him guiltily and scratched his butt subconsciously.

The feeling of being held down by the master and beaten with a feather duster came to mind clearly.

If I betray my master and ancestors, I will be beaten by him, right?

If the master just spanked me, that would be fine...
