[Lu Xiaofeng] Blindness

Chapter 3 Banquet

Li Yin took the two of them to Nanyue Island.

It was already late when they landed, and the slightly cold wind blew across the sea, making some waves.

Li Yin put them in the inn, and walked out by himself. He didn't say what he was going to do, but he left very quickly and in a hurry.

Ximen Chuuxue stood up and lit the candles in the inn. At this time, the outside was already too dark to see.

He sat quietly on the bed, as if waiting for something.

Ah Ye stepped forward and tugged at his sleeve, and whispered, "I'm afraid."

Ximen Chuuxue glanced at her, and suddenly made a silent gesture.

There was also a knock on the door at this moment, loud and hasty.

Before anyone could even open the door, the door was knocked open, and there were three burly men standing at the door.

One of them stepped forward, looked at the two people in the room, clasped his fists, and tried his best to squeeze out a kind smile on his face.

There was a deep scar on his face, which slid from the corner of his eye to the bridge of his nose, and when he smiled, he looked even more ferocious.

"Young master Ximen, our island owner welcomes you."

Ye Gucheng poured down a glass of water and sipped it lightly.

Li Yin was sitting opposite him, looking at him with folded arms.

"You shouldn't have come to see me."

Ye Gucheng said: "Oh?"

Li Yin said: "I have retired for a long time."

Ye Gucheng said coldly: "Then why are you here now?"

Li Yin smiled bitterly: "I can't say."

Ye Gucheng took a deep look at him and said: "My father once mentioned you, Li Xinglin, the doctor and poison unparalleled, poisoned 13 people in Feihu Village 71 years ago, and rescued Yang Yanyan, the niece of the owner of Yangjiabao in June of the same year. , Ten years later, I don’t know why I quit the rivers and lakes and lived in seclusion in the South China Sea.”

Li Yin's complexion was not good-looking, anyone would not be in a good mood if his details were revealed so directly.

"What do you want?"

Ye Gucheng twitched the corners of his lips: "I want to make a deal with you."

As the first ray of sunlight fell in the morning, Zheng Jifeng put on his clothes carefully, and then looked at himself in the mirror, with a broad forehead, triangular eyes, and eagle nose, serious and majestic.

He has been in a high position for many years, and his power is no worse than that of the high officials in the court.

An island owner who can order more than a thousand people to do things at will and affect the livelihood of nearly ten thousand people is not an exaggeration to say that he is a local emperor.

But Zheng Jifeng would never spend the night with a woman, and he would rather wash and dress himself than get too intimate with others. He is really a very suspicious and cautious person.

He picked up the sword in the box and put it on his waist, then walked out the door. Today should be a long-awaited good day.

A lot of people greeted him along the way, Zheng Jifeng called his butler, looked at the guest list he sent, the congratulatory gift was very expensive, and all the people came, he was immediately satisfied.

Ximen Chuuxue sat quietly in the wing room, apparently thinking about something.

He has been sitting like this all night.

Ah Ye fell asleep last night, but woke up very early. Now, with his chin propped up, he stared sullenly at the moving figures outside, and finally couldn't help but turn around and ask Ximen Chuuxue.

"What are they keeping us here for?"

Ximen Chuixue said: "Threat."

"Blackmail who?"

Ximen Chuixue did not answer.

Ah Ye thought for a while, and asked tentatively, "Your father?"

"..."

Ah Ye was suddenly distressed: "Now that Uncle Li is not here, what should we do?"

It was probably very annoying, but Ah Ye couldn't care less about his fear of Ximen Chuuxue all this time, he tugged on his sleeve and said annoyedly, "Are we going to die? Just like Dad, lying in the mud coldly , never wake up."

Ximen Chuuxue gave her a cold look, then frowned suddenly, and looked towards the door.

It was none other than Zheng Jifeng who came in.

He stroked his beard and looked at Ximen Chuuxue with a smile: "Young master lives well here. I have admired your father for a long time, so I specially invited you here as a guest. I hope today's banquet will satisfy you."

Ah Ye couldn't help but said, "Then can we go out?"

"Of course, the banquet is in the front hall, and some servants will take the two of you there later."

When Zheng Jifeng saw that it was almost time, he turned around and summoned his servants to bow their heads and whisper a few words before leaving.

Ximen Chuuxue was sitting in the corner of the hall. This was the seat he chose. He didn't know anyone here, and the other party didn't know who he was. If someone came over by chance and asked a few words with a smile, he would ignore them all. .

No one will argue with a child, but no one will talk to him again.

He didn't like this kind of environment, the sound of conversation around and the sound of wine glasses colliding was very noisy. The two of them occupied a table by themselves, but they didn't touch the dishes on the table.

Ah Ye's nose moved, and she couldn't help but look at Ximen Chuuxue, she was hungry.

After thinking about it but still not holding back, Ah Ye grabbed the chopsticks and carefully took a bite of the dish from the edge of the plate. It was very delicious.

It was the first time for her to eat such a delicacy, and she couldn't care about other things at the moment, holding the bowl and eating quickly by herself.

Ximen Chuuxue lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, Ah Ye wiped his mouth and said to him, "Aren't you hungry?"

"You haven't eaten anything since last night."

Ah Ye was a little upset, and she felt that she had reason to be angry, but after Ximen Chuuxue looked up at her impatiently, she silently chose to back down.

... He is so fierce!So good-looking and so fierce!What a waste!

He was so angry that he poked the bottom of the bowl, Ah Ye didn't know what he was angry about.

There was a sudden commotion at the door.

Ah Ye saw many people stood up and gathered around the door. She was short and couldn't see, and she was too embarrassed to step on the chair, so she could only wait impatiently.

After everyone returned to their seats, she finally saw who was coming.

——It was a very good-looking big brother, but she didn't dare to look at it too much, because it was very irritating, and it hurt her eyes.

Ximen Chuuxue raised his eyes, he glanced at Ye Gucheng, then subconsciously landed on the sword at the man's waist, and then looked away.

"Huh? That big brother is here."

Ah Ye let out a cry, and felt embarrassed when he saw that the people around him were all looking at them.

Ye Gucheng withdrew his gaze, nodded to Zheng Jifeng, and then sat down.

Almost none of the people sitting at the main table is under the age of Buhuo, and their identities and status are also numerous in the South China Sea, but Ye Gucheng's seat is the first on the right side of the main table, and the former Baiyun City may be able to afford it. , As for now, although the people present did not say anything, Ye Gucheng knew it very well, but he did not refuse.

Some things are just a matter of time.

He doesn't need to care about Zheng Jifeng's deliberate tricks. His strength and the weight of Baiyun City will soon have the answer.

"City Master Ye just got his hair done last year. I went to watch the ceremony at that time. I didn't expect to sit in the seat of your father so soon." The speaker was Luo Kui, the owner of Hongluo Island. He was smiling, and what he said at the time But it is thorny.

Alluding to the fact that Ye Gucheng was too young, he pointed to the fact that the previous Baiyun City Lord had just passed away.

Ye Gucheng glanced at him casually, without feeling angry at all, not indifferent or indifferent, but a kind of condescending looking down, which made people more angry than cursing.

Luo Kui's complexion gradually turned sour: "What does City Lord Ye mean?"

"Crap."

It was a very simple word and a very cold voice, but Luo Kui was so angry that he almost slapped the table and stood up.

Zheng Jifeng frowned, and gave him a comforting look. Although the Hongluo island master was easy to control, his violent temper was still embarrassing.

"It's my husband's birthday today, please don't spoil your spirits because of a moment of anger."

"The wine I have prepared is a century-old good wine, don't waste it." He smiled and changed the topic just now, raised his glass again, and drank it down in one gulp.

The atmosphere gradually came back to life, and everyone exchanged cups, it seemed that it was very lively.

Ye Gucheng just brushed the wine glass over his lips and smelled the aroma of the wine. He is not very interested in things like wine.

After the banquet was over, a maid came in to pack things. By this time, the guests had already left the hall and stood in the martial field on the mountain behind the mansion.

The martial arts arena is very big, but there are not many seats inside. There are only eight carved wooden chairs, and the rest of the people can only stand.

The Swords of the South China Sea are well-known even in the Central Plains. Zhao Buqun of the South Sea Sword Sect, Zheng Jifeng of Nanyue Island, and the former Lord of Baiyun City are all first-class swordsmen in the Jianghu.

But now it has changed from the original three-legged confrontation to a two-horse rivalry.

The beginning of the Sword Discussion Club is that the new generation of young talents will challenge each other, and then the older generation will give pointers and teachings. In the end, if there is interest, some masters will come to the stage to compare a few tricks. , without compromising its potential.

This has been the case in previous years, but this year has indeed changed. Ye Gucheng's age is considered young even among the younger generation. No one is willing to accept his advice.

Meng Xun cut off the opponent's sleeve with a sword, and then the sword edge lightly stopped on the opponent's chest, that person could only admit defeat. He was already the leader of the new generation, but this did not make him feel the slightest glory. Ye Gucheng, with this name, he cannot be freed.

Ximen Chuuxue looked at the swordsmanship of various sects and sects in the field very seriously. Some swords were slanted, some were calm and majestic, and some were green and clumsy. He had never learned swords, so he shouldn't be able to tell the difference.

But how can the natural sword bone and sword heart be saved by ordinary people.

His father saw this, so he didn't want him to hold a sword so far, lest he waste this excellent talent, Li Yin also saw this, so he brought him here.

As the saying goes, looking at the sword is like looking at the heart. If you don't know the way, how can you use it to kill.

The sun had already started to set, so Zheng Jifeng stood up from his chair.

"It's getting late, why not come back tomorrow."

Zhao Buqun answered him with a smile: "It's really getting late. Seeing you today, Guidao is really full of talents. Those young people, no matter how much they practice, their achievements will definitely not be bad in the future."

"How can their trivial tricks compare to Zhao's master apprentice, it's too ridiculous."

Several people congratulated each other modestly, their tone and demeanor were extremely natural, but it was unknown what they were thinking in their hearts. Ye Gucheng sat on the seat, and he looked down at the tea in his hand. The green leaves floated on it motionless. My heart is no warmer than water.

A very boring party.

Someone gently pushed Ximen Chuuxue's shoulder, and when he looked back, there was no one there, only a few big men in the distance looking at him without a trace.

Ximen Chuuxue suddenly felt a little irritable. After the meeting was over and he was brought back to the room, there was another person in the room besides A Ye.

Li Yin handed the two of them a noodle cake each, Ah Ye was full and stopped eating, Ximen Chuuxue lowered his head and bit slowly.

"How was the harvest today?"

Ximen Chuuxue swallowed the food before saying, "It's not pretty."

Li Yin heard it interesting, and looked at the little doll in front of him with a smile: "What else?"

"Nothing."

Li Yin didn't say anything else, just said: "Then let's go to the next place."

Ximen Chuuxue shook his head.

"how?"

"There is another man's sword, I haven't seen it." Ximen Chuuxue said, thinking of the man in white with a sword, walking like a shooting star, he couldn't help saying: "It must be very beautiful."
