The birthday banquet is about to begin, but there is still one important guest missing.
Su Qingyu waited patiently.
A Taoist priest arrived late.
He was wearing a yellow Taoist robe with a white belt around his waist. His sleeves fluttered in the wind, giving him a Taoist look.
When he saw Su Qingyu and Zhao Zhiyan, the Taoist priest extended his hand and bowed.
"I was invited by the old warlord to attend the birthday banquet."
Su Qingyu responded: "Please take a seat quickly. The birthday banquet is about to begin. Your seat will be next to the master."
[Safe City]Rule 7.
[Before the birthday banquet begins, prepare enough white paper, silver needles, bells, oil lamps and copper coins.
On the day of the birthday banquet, if someone dressed as a Taoist priest comes to your house, please treat them with courtesy.]
The Taoist priest had a dignified look, a long beard on his chin, deep eyes, and an otherworldly look. He said, "Have you prepared the copper coins, silver needles, and other things?"
It turns out that these things are what Taoists need.
Su Qingyu was stunned, then nodded: "Everything is ready."
"Success or failure depends on today." The Taoist gathered his sleeves and walked in.
The old butler greeted him warmly and led him to the head table.
The Taoist priest sat down in the seat just below the old commander-in-chief, his hands resting on the wooden box containing the silver needles, and he closed his eyes to rest.
After everyone arrived, the birthday banquet began.
The customers who ate the fried meat cooked by the sisters wearing black and white hats at the door were like inflated balloons, with grease on their mouths, bloated bodies, and clothes on their bodies bulging out, revealing their white bellies.
They sat in chairs and the chairs sank.
[Safe City]Rule 10.
[The main purpose of a birthday banquet is to give blessings, not to eat.
Don't prepare a fancy meal, or else your fat guests will cause a commotion.
The delicious dishes on the table are all made of clay.
The old commander welcomed all the guests present.
"Everyone, you are all prominent figures in Ping An City. It is a fate that we are gathered here today.
Ping An City had not been visited by outsiders for a long time, and the only people who came in now were half of the family.
Let me introduce to you that the organizers of this 60th birthday party for me are my eldest son and his newly engaged fiancée, Su Xiaoyu."
Everyone applauded and turned their eyes to Su Qingyu.
Su Qingyu was wearing a cheongsam. She needed to maintain a dignified demeanor and smile at everyone.
The posture of sucking in her stomach made her a little tired.
"I am old, and this world is full of young people. On my 60th birthday, I want to announce one thing: I have decided to hand over the position of Lord of Ping An City to my eldest son, Zhao Zhiyan."
The old commander took the red wine from Zhao Zhili and drank it all.
Su Qingyu saw Zhao Zhili and Zhao Zhishan exchange glances, and felt inexplicably uneasy.
After drinking, the old warlord's eyes became more cloudy, and it seemed that there was more white and less black in his eyes.
He sat on the birthday chair and panted: "The banquet has officially begun, please enjoy the food."
There was no wind in the hall, but the bells on the chairs were ringing rapidly.
Everyone started eating.
The wine glasses were flowing.
