Lu Mingfei, who had read Dragon Clan before slaying the dragon

Everyone also bowed to Uesugoshi and his uncle and aunt. It looked like a group of three people bowing to each other. They also held up the small bottles and drank down the strong liquor in the cups.

Chu Zihang was a little silent. He looked at the empty wine glass. No one told him that this wine was meant for formal occasions.

Chu Zihang thought that this wine could be drunk at any time when the wedding reached its climax. After all, if a person has a glass of wine at hand when he is excited, a normal person would easily pick it up and drink it. Chu Zihang is not a good drinker. However, whenever the atmosphere of the Lion Heart Club's speech was heated, he would drink a large glass of wine boldly. After all, as a leader, he is not good at words, and only such direct actions can mobilize the emotions of the members. Therefore, Chu Zihang has developed a habit. Whenever the atmosphere is warm, he will always raise his head and drink silently. No matter how much he drinks, he will drink it all in one gulp.

So when Lu Mingfei kissed Hui Liyi just now, Chu Zihang had already raised his glass and drank all the wine. The wedding ceremony was over. Chu Zihang didn't know that toasting wine to express gratitude was also a part of the wedding. He had just drank It was so clean that not even a drop came out of the glass.

Holding an empty cup to show off... is a bit too stupid and doesn't fit in with his style.

Just as everyone was raising their glasses, and Chu Zihang was wondering whether to show off his temper, a glass reached over and quickly poured half of the wine into Chu Zihang's glass.

Chu Zihang turned around and saw that it was Caesar sitting next to him.

"Thank you." Chu Zihang followed the example of the people in front of him and quickly drank half of the glass of wine.

"I just don't want to see my opponent embarrassed." Caesar also picked up the wine glass and drank it down. He said in an understatement, "I admit that in the past two months in Japan, we have not cooperated well. We have a tacit understanding and know each other better, but this does not mean that we can always get along well with each other when we return to the academy. I will still regard you as my opponent. This year is my last year in the academy. This year's freedom Our student union will definitely win the championship of "One Day".

"The Lion Heart Club will be the champion." Chu Zihang also said to Caesar with an uncompromising momentum, "We will not let go. The Lion Heart Club will defeat the Student Union in an upright and fair manner, and then defeat Lu Mingfei. If it is like last year The same battle would be better. ”

"I am looking forward to fighting with you and Lu Mingfei on Freedom Day this year. Let's wait and see." Caesar nodded.

As they spoke, the two of them clinked their empty wine glasses in tacit understanding, and then smiled at each other.

If any members of the Student Union or Lionheart Club see this scene here, they will definitely be shocked, because at Cassel College, the President of the Student Union and the President of the Lionheart Club are notoriously incompatible, not only because the two The problems left over from the society's history, and because both Caesar and Chu Zihang are leaders in the "A" class, in such an era of elites, they both have the strength and qualifications to aspire to the top of Cassel Academy.

It wasn't until the enrollment of "S" level Lu Mingfei that the balance that had been maintained throughout the year was broken.

But Caesar and Chu Zihang still don't get along, and the relationship between them has become a worry for many professors and executive departments, because it is difficult for these two people to appear in the same space at the same time, otherwise they will definitely quarrel. People with great ideas and strong execution ability can achieve unexpected results with super high efficiency when performing tasks alone, but there is no possibility of cooperation between them... This is recognized by all the elites in the execution department, because " If the king does not see the king", if you put a lion and a tiger in a boat, they will inevitably fight instead of thinking about how to escape to the land.

But even though Caesar and Chu Zihang were unwilling to admit it, or they admitted it in their hearts but didn't show it on the surface, the Japanese group really made them, once incompatible rivals, form a deep friendship. In fact, Caesar originally admired Chu Zihang. In Caesar's original words, "A person whom Caesar Gattuso disdains cannot be regarded as a rival in his life." However, Caesar disliked Chu Zihang's character. This The two are not contradictory. It is actually very rare for strong people to cherish each other because strong people are all very individual people, and of course a person with individuality can hardly tolerate other people's individuality being greater than his own.

But after contact, Caesar found that Chu Zihang was not entirely annoying. This guy was arbitrary, but his execution efficiency was really high, and he had a stubborn "loyalty" in him. He could do it for him To death, Caesar likes stubborn people and people who are loyal, because these two things are always implemented in his justice.

In just over two months in Japan, they have been through life and death together more than once, from the hail of bullets from the Japanese police, to the undersea abyss full of narrow escapes, to the fierce pursuit of the Japanese gangsters, and then to Genji, who is full of deadpools. Heavy Industry Building, and finally an army of tens of thousands of corpse guards... They were cowherds together and carried guns together. Although they did not share each other's secrets, they revealed their respective voices. In the most difficult and desperate environment , they never abandoned their companions and always treated each other with sincerity.

Yes, the former rivals have now become companions... Perhaps the word companion is not enough to summarize the relationship between Caesar and Chu Zihang. Whether they admit it or not, at this moment they are brothers who can drink from the same glass of wine. .

Of course, the same goes for Lu Mingfei.

"I didn't expect Lu Mingfei to be the first among us to get married." Chu Zihang said suddenly.

"After I return to the academy, I'm going to submit an application for my marriage to Nonodi." Caesar smiled at Chu Zihang, "If I ask you to be the best man again, you won't feel that the schedule is too busy, right?"

"No, as long as you tell us in advance, I can greet Lancelot and the others." Chu Zihang said, "Lest they think we are going to your wedding to make trouble."

"You Lionheart Club are really more fighting mad than the other." Caesar couldn't understand how someone could go to someone else's wedding to cause trouble.

"After all, they don't know what happened in Japan." Chu Zihang said, "Based on our previous relationship, it would be too weird to invite me to your wedding as a best man."

"It seems that it is not difficult to make two opponents who dislike each other become friends." Caesar lamented, "Just give them a more powerful enemy, and then let them experience life and death together several times."

"A neutral friend who occasionally talks bad things is also essential." Chu Zihang said, "I am referring to Lu Mingfei."

Caesar seemed to be amused by Chu Zihang's words. He didn't expect that Chu Zihang, who had always been serious about his words, would also make fun of others. But before his smile showed, the phone in his pocket vibrated.

The smile on Caesar's face disappeared. He quickly took out his mobile phone and looked at the newly sent email with wide eyes. His eyes were visibly disappointed.

"Hello, dear Mr. Caesar Gattuso:

We have commissioned the M1NT Club, the Skull and Bones Society and the Hunter website to search for traces of Ms. Chen Motong in seven countries including China, the United States, and Italy, but unfortunately, nothing has been found so far.

The book said that sometimes no news is the best news. Miss Chen Motong is a smart woman and she will not get into any trouble.

I hope you don't worry too much. If you have any requests, I'm always on call for you.

Yours sincerely, Patsy Gattuso. "

Caesar set the email to private and locked his phone. His face that was visible to the naked eye was rarely full of exhaustion.

Chu Zihang noticed Caesar's expression, but he didn't ask questions because everyone has secrets that they don't want to tell others.

Chu Zihang also took out his mobile phone and looked down at an email he edited yesterday.

"Mom, the academic exchange in Japan has been completed and went very smoothly. Everything is fine here. I am attending a friend's wedding. I will go back to school after the wedding. My tutor has arranged some tasks this summer, so I may not go home. Remember to drink Aunt Tong’s hot milk at night, and don’t get mad too late with Aunt Shanshan and the others.”

Chu Zihang clicked the "send" button, and at the same time, a piece of itinerary information was also sent to his mobile phone.

"Dear Mr. Chu Zihang, the flight you booked will depart from Chicago in five days."

The destination of this flight was the small coastal town where he and Lu Mingfei had lived since childhood.

Chapter 895 Post-Wedding Luncheon

Chu Zihang opened the news about the city two weeks ago. He specially took a screenshot and saved it in a private photo album. The news screenshot was about a section of the city's elevated road that collapsed in a storm.

Yes, Chu Zihang lied. This is not the first time he has lied. Every time he writes an email to his mother, Chu Zihang will more or less include some lies, because his mother is an ordinary person and cannot let her know about mixed race. She can't let her know about the dangerous and bizarre tasks she is always performing in the world, otherwise her mother will be so worried that she can't sleep.

It's the same this time. There are some things that Chu Zihang has to explore... The coastal city has been calm for several years. In the past few years, there have been occasional large-scale storms. There seems to be no pattern or warning. This time The storm didn't take away anyone's precious things, it just made it difficult for people to travel. The weather was so bad that it even destroyed the elevated road.

Elevated road... Chu Zihang smelled a familiar and dangerous atmosphere.

How could you forget that?

It has been seven years, and Chu Zihang remembers clearly that the last time the city suddenly encountered such a severe natural disaster was seven years ago. On that bitterly cold rainy night that seemed to darken the whole world, what was important to him? Things were taken away, on the elevated roads of that city.

After that storm, a man disappeared from that city, quietly, and all traces of him were erased, as if he had never existed from the beginning. Only Chu Zihang could not forget it.

How could you forget that?

In the past seven years, Chu Zihang would do his homework every night before going to bed to recall the things he didn't want to forget, because he had read in a book that the human brain is like a hard drive, and there are areas that have not been touched for a long time. It will be automatically cleared by the system, so he must force himself to remember. Chu Zihang is unwilling to forget it. In the past seven years, there has not been a night when he did not regret the decision he made seven years ago.

That thing will definitely come to him, because Xia Mi told himself that he had a "mark" left by taking something. Although Chu Zihang didn't know what the "mark" was, he had been waiting for the arrival of the thing.

What if I didn't want to attend Lu Mingfei's wedding and return? According to the report from the academy, he would return to that city three days ago.

Chu Zihang has always been by Chu Zihang's side. The decision he made seven years ago makes him regret it to this day. This time, he didn't leave himself any choice.

Chu Zihang silently deleted the itinerary information received in the text message mailbox. He looked at Lu Mingfei. Lu Mingfei was someone he trusted. During this trip to Japan, his relationship with Lu Mingfei further deepened. Deepening, not only Lu Mingfei, Chu Zihang looked at Caesar again, but even the former Caesar also formed a deep friendship with him. Chu Zihang knew that they were all people who could be trusted... But this He wasn't going to let anyone accompany him for once.

Because this is his own business. If there really is a road called "fate" in this world, with Chu Zihang's character, he will definitely walk it alone...because if anything is lost on this road, Man, he will regret it for the rest of his life.

He knew how painful this feeling was because he had experienced it.

Chu Zihang looked to the other side and Aso didn't know what they were talking about, but Xia Mi was smiling happily... Chu Zihang slowly shook his head after a moment of silence.

This time, even Xia Mi didn't plan to take him with him, because Xia Mi had mentioned to him that she seemed to have some trouble with the thing in her memory, but this time it was Chu Zihang's own business, even if Xia Mi She was his girlfriend, and Chu Zihang also wanted to be so "selfish" once in a while.

The bell rang outside the main hall, and the loud sound brought Caesar and Chu Zihang's thoughts back to the wedding. They put away their mobile phones simultaneously and looked at each other. Compared with the relaxed and joking atmosphere just now, their feelings this time There was an imperceptible haze in their eyes, but they had a tacit understanding and didn't mention it.

The priests in the main hall rushed out one after another, and the witches also carried various fruits out from the back of the main hall. Fengjian Liuli slowly came to Caesar and Chu Zihang and took the initiative to explain to them: " The wedding ceremony is over, and now it’s time for the banquet.”

"It's lunch time, right?" Chu Zihang asked.

"It's a little different from an ordinary lunch. The wedding banquet this time is very grand, because there are many guests coming from far away, and the Sheqihachi family will entertain everyone." Kazama Ruri said, "For today's banquet, Tokyo, A total of 17 Michelin-starred restaurants in Kanagawa Prefecture, Kyoto and Osaka have closed. The chefs, chefs and waiters have been invited to the Meiji Shrine. In addition, the chefs and servants of the family's resident Genji Heavy Industries Building have also been invited to the Meiji Shrine. They have all been brought, and the ingredients have been prepared since last night. They have also been busy this morning. Except for a short sleep time, everyone has almost no rest because they have to finish it before the wedding ceremony and ensure the freshness of the ingredients. "So this is a big project with a tight schedule."

Just hearing what Fengjian Liuli said made Caesar and Chu Zihang find it incredible. Under the leadership of Fengjian Liuli, they walked out of the main door of the main hall. Both of them widened their eyes and were frightened by the scene in front of them.

Men in black were running back and forth in the courtyard of the main hall. Thousands of men were the members of the Jakikihachi family who greeted their uncle, aunt, and Fuma Kotaro and his entourage on the South Sand Road. They were not taking a meaningless walk, but It was in an orderly manner, and round wooden tables were brought in from outside the main hall.

These men were very efficient. In less than ten minutes, hundreds of tables had filled the huge courtyard of the main hall, including thousands of uniformly styled chairs.

There are also people maintaining order in front of the main hall door. People who were waiting outside the torii gate during the wedding ceremony are now entering the venue in an orderly manner. Whenever someone walks into the courtyard, a waiter in a white shirt will quickly step forward and say goodbye. Ask their names politely and lead them to the appropriate location.

There were obviously thousands of people, but there was no sense of chaos at all. This was incredible, as if the scene in front of me had been rehearsed countless times.

But gradually, they understood that these men in black and the waiters had indeed rehearsed countless times, because Meiji Shrine had long been "borrowed" by the Snake Qiba family, just like Caesar Chu Zihang and the others in Disneyland is just like rehearsing in the main hall. These men in black, waiters, and even chefs have been preparing for this grand wedding these days, and no one is slacking off.

As for today's guests... almost no one who can enter Meiji Jingu Shrine today does not understand how important today is to the Sheqi Eight Clan. Making trouble on such a day is a challenge to the authority of the Sheqi Eight Clan. Even the president of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries or the governor of Tokyo do not dare to be so presumptuous. Foreign guests like Director Chen and Mrs. Chen are even more restrained. Therefore, the entrance of both the guests and the hosts to the banquet looks orderly.

"No wonder Yuan Jun looks so tired these days. He really put a lot of manpower and thought into today." Chu Zihang sighed.

"Not only manpower and thought, but also financial resources." Caesar also smacked his lips, "These tables and chairs, the materials and carvings are all considered, they can be sold as handicrafts outside, and each set sells for at least In the four-digit dollar range.”

Hundreds of tables and chairs, a set of four-digit dollars, and thousands of people. For today's banquet, more than a dozen Michelin-starred restaurants have closed down, as well as Disney's reserved venues and Meiji Jingu Shrine... Chu Zihang He quickly estimated in his mind, but he could no longer calculate an accurate figure. He could only say that Yuan Zhisheng had completely ignored the cost for Hui Liyi's wedding today.

"It's no exaggeration to say how much brother went to Eriyi. He shouldn't have been so hasty originally. Herzog's incident has also changed him a lot." Kazama Ruri suddenly smiled, "But this way Speaking of which, my brother is quite irresponsible. The Sheqihachi family suffered serious losses in the disaster. Later, they donated a lot of money for the restoration of Tokyo. Now my brother is holding a wedding with such a big fanfare... But not long after we We are about to go to France, and the remaining family owners should be worried about the messy bills of the Sheqiba family this year. "

"Huh?" Caesar raised his eyebrows, "Have you finally decided to go to France? Still not decisive enough. If it were me, the day after the disaster was over and I recovered from my injuries, I would have already boarded a flight to France. At this time, my sunscreen Oil should have its name on Montalivi Beach.”

"Isn't this also Eri's wedding? My brother has already made a big decision to make the decision so quickly." Kazama Liuli shook her head helplessly, "After all, the Snake Qiba family has just been seriously injured, and the fierce ghosts have already made a big decision." We have just merged into the Sheqi Ba family, and the future direction of the family, as well as the handover of the head of the family, are all major events that cannot be decided overnight. "

"So, Fengjian-kun, will you and Yuan-kun go to France together?" Chu Zihang asked, "Will you settle down in France in the future? Will you also go to France to develop your career?"

"Well, that should be the case. My brother has already secured the visas for him, Dad, Miss Sakura, Xiaogu, Yasha Crow and me." Kazama Ruri nodded, "As for whether to immigrate or live permanently, we will wait until we arrive in France. Decide."

"After you guys settle down, can you send me your location?" Chu Zihang thought for a while and asked Fengjian Liuli.

"Then what's the problem?" Kazama Liuli smiled, "If you come to France in the future, be sure to say hello. My brother and I will entertain you warmly."

"If there is a chance in the future." Chu Zihang nodded.

"Then it's settled." Fengjian Liuli nodded. He looked back and made a silent gesture to Caesar and Chu Zihang, "Take your seats first."

Caesar and Chu Zihang turned around and realized why Fengjian Liuli told them to be silent, because Feng Mo Xiaotaro and other family heads were walking behind them.

It's not that they can't chat with Kazama Ruri in front of these family heads, but these family heads are already troubled by Yuan Zhisheng's upcoming departure and the vacancy of the head of the three families, and now they have it in front of people. They were joking and discussing the comfortable life in France in the future... which was quite embarrassing.

The bells also stopped ringing. After a total of half an hour, everyone sat down. This time there was no complicated opening, and there were no strict rules and etiquette, because the wedding ceremony was over. This wine seemed to be a welcome gift from afar after the wedding. A simple reception for friends and relatives.

But the pomp was anything but simple.

Waiters and witches walked among hundreds of round tables, carrying silver trays in their hands. Some trays contained exquisitely plated dishes, while others contained expensive cognac and soju. There were probably hundreds of people serving food, but no accidents such as jams or collisions occurred.

Exquisite dishes were put on the table one after another, including extremely expensive dishes such as gold foil caviar and A5 grade Wagyu beef, as well as more down-to-earth dishes such as eel and curry cutlet. The fruits included "Bijinhime" strawberries and red Fuji. Desserts include "okoi" matcha pudding... Every table is full. It is rare to see such a variety of food at a wedding banquet. It is simply more luxurious than the buffet in a star hotel.

Not only that, one after another dining carts were parked in front of the main hall. Chefs wearing white hats and stars on their chests stood behind the dining carts. In front of them stood signs with the words "Queue available" and chopping boards in front of them. There are abundant ingredients on the table. Some chefs are making exquisite sushi on the spot. The ingredients are bluefin tuna, foie gras and sea urchin. Some chefs are frying blue shark fins. The sound of oil sizzling makes people feel hungry. Open, some chefs are cooking ramen, freshly pulled and cooked, topped with a layer of barbecued pork and black truffles, and then topped with soy sauce. The aroma fills the entire courtyard of the main hall.

These are top chefs from Michelin-starred restaurants. They are like self-service chefs, cooking continuously in front of everyone. Their cooking skills are so superb that just watching them makes you full of appetite.

At first, many people were too reserved to leave their seats. Just like Lu Mingze, who kept staring eagerly at the chef who was frying the steak, almost crying, but his aunt held him firmly in his seat and said, The dishes that were served were barely touched, and no one went to get them. It would look very rude to stand up at this time.

"Whiskey, why is there no whiskey!" An untimely voice broke the slightly quiet banquet, "This is how you entertain your guests. Take out all your 18-year-old and 25-year-old Yamazaki whiskey. Stop hiding it!"

It was the vice-principal, and he was shouting while holding up his wine glass.

"Coke, what's a banquet without Coke?" Several researchers went to a hamburger and hot dog food truck after stuffing a few mouthfuls of fried steak. "Can you add pickles to the burgers here?"

"Then let me have a bowl of ramen too." Angers walked quickly to the ramen restaurant and turned to Uesugoshi, who was queuing behind him, to complain, "This is what they make called ramen. Compared to what you make, it's just ramen." A bowl of soy sauce mixed with carbs.”

"The ingredients are not of the same level, how can you compare them like this!" Uesugi frowned and said, "If you ask him to use my stuff, the result will be shit!"

Chapter 896 Toast and thank you

"Then I'd also like a portion of steak wings, with less oil. As we age, our digestive system can't keep up." Fuma Kotaro also stood up and slowly came to the dining car where the blue shark's wings were served.

"One piece of tuna sushi, and more wasabi." Sakurai Nanami also came to the dining car where the sushi was being made.

"The head of the Sakurai family looks like a socialite who eats bird's nest and shark's fin every time. I didn't expect it to be so spicy!" Fingel also came to the same dining car and boldly joked to Nanami Sakurai, who was very angry. He shouted, "I want a double portion of foie gras and a half tube of mustard!"

Seeing the big shots leaving the table one after another and ordering what they wanted in front of the dining car, the other guests also became active. Even big shots like the president of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Heiji Kogagata didn't hold back. There was a long queue in front of the restaurant, and the Michelin chefs were sweating profusely from exhaustion.

Lu Mingze stood in front of the steak-frying restaurant, listening to the "sizzling" sound of the fine beef being grilled on the iron plate. His throat almost dripped into skewers. He ordered five beef eye steaks in one go. Wagyu beef ribs are like eating one dish at a buffet to make your money back in one go.

"Mingze, why did you order so much at once!" The aunt who was passing by saw Lu Mingze slamming the steaks grilled by the chef onto the plate, and couldn't help but frown, "You have gained weight since you went to school in the United States. A lot. Do you eat fast food at school every day? The living allowance given to you is not enough. Now that you eat so many foreign foods, you are not afraid of eating up your stomach. You are going to get fat!"

The aunt was holding macarons and truffle cakes in her hands. She brought them specially for Jiajia. Little girls like to eat desserts. The aunt was afraid that there would be too many people at the party and the little girl would be scared and nervous, so she specially showed off herself. The affinity of this future mother-in-law.

Lu Mingze did not receive such treatment. The little fat man felt unbalanced and stretched his neck to retort: ​​"Beef is high-quality protein. It is not easy to gain weight because of meat. It is easy to gain weight after eating those desserts with a lot of sugar!"

"You can't eat so much high-quality protein at one time! If you don't exercise, the meat will pile up in your body and turn into fat!" As a housewife, my aunt still knows a little about healthy eating. Uncle Chen and the others should also get something to eat, don’t just eat for yourself, you are such an adult, you must learn to understand the world. "

"Do you know how much this beef eye fillet costs per piece? If I go to the cafeteria, it will be enough to pay for my money twice." Lu Mingze muttered in a low voice, "I don't even have time to eat it myself, so I'll give it to them. I'm It’s better to eat when you are free!”

"You don't understand this, Narusawa. It's inefficient to keep eating steak if you want to make money quickly. Beef eye is very expensive, but it also fills up your stomach." The uncle held a bowl full of caviar and The sashimi passed by and he imparted his experience to his son, "Deep-sea salmon caviar, bluefin tuna fillets, these are really good things. They are small in quantity, exquisite, and expensive. You can be full after eating them." Get your money back!”

"You two are completely incompatible, I don't want to care about you!" Auntie glared at uncle and Lu Mingze, and walked to Jiajia's table with delicate desserts.

On the first main table, Lu Mingfei accompanied Hui Liyi. Lu Mingfei was holding a glass of Coke while serving food to Hui Liyi, while Hui Liyi ate happily.

Similarly, Caesar Chu Zihang and the others as the best man and Sakura and Sakurai Kogure as the bridesmaids are also at the first main table. The people around the protagonist should sit in the most representative positions. Yuan Zhisheng, the head of the family, and the heads of the Sheqiba family were even placed at the second and third tables slightly behind.

"Happy wedding." Chu Zihang and Xia Mi raised their glasses together and toasted to Lu Mingfei and Hui Liyi.

"Happy, everyone is happy." Lu Mingfei poked Hui Liyi and responded with Hui Liyi to the two of them, "Let's try to have the wedding wine of our senior brothers and sisters as soon as possible!"

"Look at Chu Zihang's performance." Xia Mi smiled playfully.

"I'm so happy, junior brother, have a drink!" Fingel raised his glass boldly.

"Come on, obviously, one of our brothers will leave too!" Old Tang also raised his glass boldly.

"One of us has to go. We must eat and drink well. It's been really hard on you today." Lu Mingfei also brought Eli Yi and happily had a drink with the two of them.

"Lu...Mr. Lu Mingfei, Miss Eriyi...the wedding is really great. I'm glad you invited Shou and I to the wedding." Aso Shinya raised his glass with some restraint to express his blessings to Lu Mingfei and Eriyi.
