Qiandong City, Zhenxi Marquis Mansion.

The flames of the incense and candles on both sides danced, burning the wax like water. When it dripped down and was blown by the cool breeze, it turned from transparent to milky white in an instant.

By this point in the dinner, there were only leftovers and the wine was as bland as water.

Except for Lei Mengsha, everyone present was eating absent-mindedly.

All those sitting at the table were accomplished martial artists. The surges of true energy coming from the southwest side of the window were far more attractive than the delicacies on the table.

He warmed the pot of wine with a worried look on his face. He loved his nephew on the left and his nephew on the right equally, fearing that something bad might happen to them.

The wrinkles on Baili Luochen's face were more serious than the knife marks on an old tree. If it weren't for the Beili Prince and Langya King Xiao Ruofeng being here, he would have led a cavalry of a thousand men and rushed out of the Marquis's mansion to look for his precious grandson.

Baili Chengfeng was trembling with fear at the dinner party, fearing that his father would scold him, his wife would complain, and his son would complain. He dared not chew the fresh bamboo shoots vigorously, fearing that the slightest sound would make his ancestors unhappy.

Although Wen Luoyu was concerned about the overall situation and was very enthusiastic at the banquet, she was worried about her son in her heart. She frowned and glanced at her husband from time to time;

Although Xiao Ruofeng's face was calm, he had already guessed in his heart that the disturbance outside must be related to Wen Yanzhao and Baili Dongjun. The most difficult thing for him was the young man named Ye mentioned by his father...

Only Lei Mengsha, although he was not vulgar when eating, could not help but move his fingers and chopsticks. After a round of toasts, he stopped drinking. He made friends with people far away and attacked those near, and the delicacies on the table were equally shared...

Baili Luochen saw Lei Mengsha at this moment and found that he looked a bit like his grandson at the dinner table. His wrinkles relaxed a little and he thought to himself:

"It seems that this kid from Leijiabao is really hungry!"

After a while, Lei Mengsha finally realized that he was the only one enjoying the meal. The chopsticks in his hand paused and finally fell on the white jade chopstick pillow.

He glanced around and found that everyone was preoccupied with their own thoughts and had not touched their chopsticks for a long time. He gently moved his elbow and poked Xiao Ruofeng next to him:

"Seventh Brother...why aren't they eating anymore?"

Xiao Ruofeng frowned, looked disdainful, and uttered a few words softly:

"If I had known I wouldn't have brought you along..."

Baili Luochen was sitting in the middle, and had already seen Xiao Ruofeng and Lei Mengsha whispering to each other, with a kind smile:

"Are you two satisfied? The chefs in my house are naturally not as good as the famous chefs in Tianqi City, let alone the imperial chefs in the palace. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ruofeng stood up and saluted. Zhenxi Hou Baili Luochen was his uncle and elder, so he was naturally respectful. He raised his wine glass and said:

"Old Marquis, you are too kind. Ruofeng and Second Senior Brother would like to thank the Marquis Mansion for their hospitality. It is getting late now, so please let Ruofeng toast the old Marquis with a glass of wine to express your gratitude!"

After saying that, he raised his boots and stepped on Lei Mengsha's toes. Lei Mengsha hurriedly understood and also picked up the wine glass:

"Thank you for your hospitality, old marquis. The cooking skills of your chefs are much better than those of our Lei Family Fort!"

Baili Luochen came from a humble background, and his outstanding military achievements were earned through fighting with swords and spears. Naturally, he hated red tape.

Xiao Ruofeng is well-educated and well-mannered. Although he is very elegant, he is not a pedantic scholar.

Lei Mengsha has a down-to-earth demeanor and is quite popular with the old marquis.

Baili Luochen stroked his beard and smiled, also picking up his wine glass:

"As long as you don't mind my humble abode, it's all good. You two gentlemen have been here for quite some time now. Let's stop here and retire early. I'll set up a larger table tomorrow when my little grandson comes back. I still like your youthful spirit; it suits my taste!"

……

After the banquet, the servants of the Marquis' Mansion led the two young masters to the guest room to rest. After Baili's father and son's family members and a warm pot of wine respectfully saw them off, the old Marquis could no longer sit still.

"Feng'er, his uncle, you two should set off immediately and take your men to the south of the city to see if it's Dongjun and Zhao'er and the others!"

Baili Chengfeng exchanged a glance with Wenhujiu, bowed, and went out to prepare.

Only the father-in-law and daughter-in-law were left at the table. Baili Luochen said anxiously:

"My dear daughter-in-law, you should also go to bed early. Don't worry about Dongjun. He is my grandson, Baili Luochen. I will send someone to bring him to you at dawn tomorrow."

Wen Luoyu bowed and saluted upon hearing this:

"Dad has been busy for a few days, it's time to rest early. Luo Yu knows your temper!"

After the old marquis and the Crown Prince's wife returned to their rooms, the maids bustled around, removing the cups and plates. Without Baili Dongjun, the marquis's mansion fell silent again.

Xiao Ruofeng returned to the guest room and was about to change clothes and wash up when the door creaked open with someone tiptoeing.

"Fengfeng, are you asleep? It's me, Second Senior Brother!"

Xiao Ruofeng knew without even raising his head that it was Lei Meng who killed that guy.

"Second Brother, why are you here instead of going to sleep?"

Xiao Ruofeng sat down at the eight-immortals table in the room. He said he was in a cold attitude, but he picked up two teacups in his hands.

Lei Mengsha turned around and walked into the house. He immediately closed the door and sat down next to Xiao Ruofeng:

"Seventh Brother, this evening was really strange. Did you feel that the fight outside the Marquis' Mansion was not an ordinary one?"

An exquisite purple clay teacup was handed to Lei Mengsha. The fragrance of tea penetrated his heart, like orchid and musk, which made Lei Mengsha's nose move slightly and sniff.

Xiao Ruofeng poured himself another cup and said calmly, "It looks like things won't be peaceful in Qiandong City after tonight. The three people we've taken a fancy to have been targeted by others!"

Lei Mengsha put the teacup on the table and wiped his mouth: "No way, how dare they kidnap his grandson under the nose of Zhenxi Hou Baili Shashen?"

"Isn't this just running around the streets carrying a dung basket - looking for death?"

"Seventh Brother, do you think it will be those two long-haired handsome guys who will take action this time?"

Xiao Ruofeng smiled slightly when he heard Lei Mengsha's witty remark:

"How many heads do you think those two have that are enough for Wen Yanzhao to chop off? You told me when we came back from Chaisang City that Wen Yanzhao crossed over into Fuyao and killed the elder of the Jiuxiao Demon Sect with one sword. How capable were those two guardians?"

Lei Mengsha nodded thoughtfully, and then asked:

"There are still experts? But I can't understand why Baili Luochen looked so calm at the banquet. Isn't he worried about his precious grandson?"

"This doesn't make sense. Baili Luochen is famous for doting on Baili Dongjun. If it were me, I would have led the team to kill him long ago!"

Xiao Ruofeng held the teacup, sniffed the tea fragrance at the tip of his nose, squinted his eyes and said:

"This is what the Marquis of Zhenxi did. He mobilized the army for his own use in front of Prince Beili? Could it be that the Pofeng Army is really named Baili?"

"Although Baili Luochen has made great military achievements and has made great contributions, don't forget that Beili's surname is Xiao. Even if I don't take it seriously, Baili Luochen will still think about it."

"Don't forget, I came here on the orders of the emperor. Second Brother, why are you getting older and older, and your character becoming more and more immature?"

Xiao Ruofeng's words left Lei Mengsha speechless. He opened his mouth for a long time and finally asked:

"So are we just going to watch? There's nothing we can do?"

Xiao Ruofeng then poured Lei Mengsha another cup of tea, put down the teapot and stared at Lei Mengsha with a firm tone:

"After completing the imperial order, there are still instructions from the master! But even if the whole Qiandong City turns upside down tonight, we can only sleep quietly."

"After you finish drinking this cup of Magnolia Bone-penetrating, you can go back!"

Lei Mengsha rolled his eyes and muttered with a pursed mouth:

"Just go back!"

Lei Mengsha cupped his hands and said, "Seventh Brother, go to bed early. Good night!"

A moment later, the candles in Xiao Ruofeng and Lei Mengsha's room suddenly went out, and the Marquis' Mansion returned to silence.

But Wen Yanzhao was caught in a fierce battle and complained bitterly.
