Tiger Roars in China
Chapter 11 Banquet
Lu Tianxiong strode onto the podium, turned around, and scanned the generals. Then he put his hands down and said, "Generals, please take a seat!"
Everyone sat down, but the seven guard captains did not sit down and stood behind Lu Tianxiong.
Lu Tianxiong said, “Everyone must be very curious why I am holding this banquet during this troubled time.
There are two purposes. First, the two girls, Bai Mei and Bai Jie, have already found the young master. This banquet is to welcome the young master.
Second, the demon army is approaching, and our reinforcements have not yet passed through the Black Forest. Therefore, this banquet is also to discuss how to resist the demon army and save Tiger Leap City. "
Just as he finished speaking, a soldier ran in and said something to Lu Tianxiong.
Lu Tianxiong immediately waved his hand and said, "Everyone, follow me and go to greet the young master."
Dozens of generals stood up at once.
Of course, Lu Tianxiong was walking in the front, followed by the captains of the guards, and then the dozens of generals.
In fact, Li Meng and the others also live in the City Lord's Mansion, which is only a few steps away from the banquet hall. Why do they need to be welcomed?
This is just Lu Tianxiong building momentum and setting rules for Li Meng.
As soon as Lu Tianxiong walked out of the banquet hall, Li Meng and others arrived.
Lu Tianxiong quickly stopped and shouted, "Welcome, Young Sect Master!"
All the generals shouted in unison, "Welcome Young Master!"
This voice made Li Meng stunned. What does Lu Tianxiong mean? Isn't he unsure of my identity? Why is he suddenly calling me the Young Sect Master? There must be something wrong here.
However, Li Meng still bowed repeatedly and said, "City Lord Lu, please - generals, please -"
Li Meng didn't know whether the etiquette was right or not, but she had watched costume dramas and knew she had to follow the correct manners.
Lu Tianxiong stepped aside to let Li Meng walk in front, and then he followed half a step behind to help Li Meng walk to the podium.
The rostrum is a high platform in the banquet hall, half a meter higher than the other seats. It is the most honorable seat in the banquet hall, and in the past it was only for Lu Tianxiong.
Today, a seat was specially added for the young master.
After Li Meng sat down, Lu Tianxiong sat down in his seat.
Bai Mei and Bai Jie did not have seats. The sisters stood behind Li Meng and served her.
Li Meng only took a quick glance and was able to tell that Hu Yue City had a clear hierarchy.
There were only two tables set up on the podium, for himself and Lu Tianxiong, probably to show his honor.
There were six rows of seats on the left and right below the rostrum. The closer the seat was to the center, the higher the official rank should be.
After everyone sat down, Lu Tianxiong spoke, "Today, the young master is able to come to Tiger Leap City in person and fight alongside us. Everyone welcomes you!"
Suddenly, there was thunderous applause.
Li Meng looked at Lu Tianxiong in confusion. Is Lu Tianxiong kidding me? He knew I had lost my memory and didn't know anything, so why did he come to fight side by side? Who are we fighting against? You should have told me in advance.
However, Li Meng still says some polite words.
Li Meng stood up, glanced at the whole audience, and immediately felt superior.
The podium was originally higher than the other seats, and Li Meng was standing while the others were sitting.
After seeing Li Meng's look, the discussions suddenly stopped and everyone looked at Li Meng who was standing there to see what he would say.
Even the sisters Baimei and Baijie who were standing behind Li Meng were worried, fearing that Li Meng would say something inappropriate.
A smile appeared on Li Meng's face.
“My fellow generals and fellow disciples, in these turbulent times, we should be united in purpose and overcome difficulties together.
I am very happy to meet you all in Tiger Leap City, and I am very happy to fight side by side with you all! I am very happy that City Lord Lu Tianxiong organized this banquet! Let us raise our glasses together and not leave until we are drunk! "
As they were talking, the words of persuasion came out. Everyone looked at Lu Tianxiong, as if asking, isn't this the job of the banquet supervisor?
However, Li Meng had already grabbed the wine glass on the table and drank it all.
The Young Master has already drunk it, so how can Lu Tianxiong not drink it?
Lu Tianxiong also drank the wine in his glass.
Everyone looked and saw that both people on the rostrum had already finished their drinks. We couldn't wait for the banquet supervisor to give a toast, so let's drink!
Li Meng had already put down his wine glass, sat down and looked around. He saw that all the generals at the table were drinking enthusiastically, gulping down their glasses of wine.
Lu Tianxiong looked at Li Meng and said with a smile, "Young Sect Master's words really inspired everyone. But let the banquet supervisor take care of the banquet."
Lu Tianxiong was still completely surprised by Li Meng's performance just now.
If someone wants to impersonate the Young Sect Master, they will definitely study the Young Sect Master's information and try their best to make the fake look genuine.
But looking at Li Meng's ignorant appearance, he didn't even know that he needed to offer sacrifices to the wine god before the banquet. Could it be that the young master really had lost his memory?
For the first time, Lu Tianxiong began to doubt his own judgment.
However, thinking of the disappearance of Li Meng's swordsmanship, Lu Tianxiong couldn't help but feel worried.
When the wine glasses were empty, the waiters and maids would immediately refill them. Li Meng's glass had already been filled by Bai Jie.
Bai Mei leaned over to Li Meng's ear and whispered to him, "Sir, before the banquet, we must offer sacrifices to the wine god. This is the rule."
Li Meng asked in surprise, "Sacrificing to the wine god? What is that for?"
Bai Jie also came over and said to Li Meng, "You can't drink the first glass of wine. You have to give it to the god of wine."
Li Meng then realized that she had done something against the rules again.
At this time, at the signal of Lu Tianxiong, the banquet supervisor stood in the middle and shouted loudly, "The first cup of wine is offered to the wine god. May the wine god bless us with a good harvest and good weather!"
As he spoke, he raised the bronze wine cup in his hand high above his head and then poured the wine onto the ground.
Led by Lu Tianxiong, all the generals raised their glasses to their foreheads and shouted, "Bacchanal!"
Then he spilled the wine on the ground.
Of course, Li Meng followed suit. Although he didn't understand why they had to offer sacrifices to the god of wine, he just followed Lu Tianxiong's example and would slowly ask Bai Mei and Bai Jie about it later.
After the wine-sacrificing ceremony was over, the supervisor shouted loudly, "The feast begins—"
Li Meng sat there contentedly, wanting to see how the banquet went.
Suddenly, he noticed that everyone was sitting there motionless, and all their eyes were focused on him. What was going on?
Li Meng looked at Lu Tianxiong, but saw that Lu Tianxiong was also looking at him and said, "Young Sect Master, let's do it."
"Ah? What are you doing?"
Li Meng really didn’t know.
Bai Mei leaned close to Li Meng's ear and whispered to him, "Sir, use the chopsticks to pick up the fish bead in the middle."
"What are fish beads?"
Li Meng really didn't know, fish have pearls? Could they be fish eyes?
Bai Jie considerately handed a pair of silver-inlaid chopsticks to Li Meng and pointed them out to Li Meng.
Li Meng then noticed that there were three bowls of food on her table: one bowl of chicken, one bowl of fish, and one bowl of meat.
There was a white bead in the fish's mouth.
