Pah~~
Fireworks lit up the night sky of the city. At a nearby table, the Taoist priest was greeting the others. Wine stains flowed from the corners of his mouth to his collar. His face was flushed as he looked at the quiet round table over there. In the silent crowd, Gongsun Zhi, who was asked about such a private matter, suddenly laughed.
"Haha... Since Master Lu asked, why not tell me?"
He looked at Lu Liangsheng with a smile, and suddenly reached into his collar and unbuttoned his shirt. The moment he opened it, a red light caught the scholar's eyes. A diamond-shaped red crystal was inlaid in the middle, flashing with light and carrying a strong aura of a demon star.
"If it weren't for it, I would still be buried in the desert, and these generals who are famous for generations would not have the chance to see the prosperous times we have now."
When Gongsun Zhi said this, he had actually heard some rumors about Master Lu from Cao Cao and Lu Bu. He took the initiative to reveal the secret in order to see whether the other party would take the red stone from his chest.
As an emperor in the past, he had some vision of people. Speaking so frankly also meant that he wanted to gauge the other party's thoughts. But at the moment, Lu Liangsheng did not take any action. He was sure that he had made the right bet.
Over there, Lu Liangsheng, after what happened to Xia Yi and Bai Ning, was somewhat less ruthless than before. After listening to their story, he just smiled and nodded, "Your Majesty, you have a great heart to let those people back then return to the world."
He glanced at Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Lu Bu and others present. When the gods came to the world, these people accepted the titles and fought against the gods. He was happy for them that they could live again. If he took the evil star on Gongsun Zhi's chest, he was afraid that they would return to the underworld.
"I still can't abandon these people to destroy the evil star. But it is precisely because of this that I, Lu Liangsheng, have so many like-minded people."
The last firework faded in the night sky, and the colorful lights were driven away by the darkness again. The red light under the eaves of the attic shone in. Lu Liangsheng put away his thoughts, lifted his wide sleeves, took the wine on the table and said:
"Let's not dwell on the past. Everyone, please drink a full cup!"
As the conversation started, the atmosphere suddenly became heated. Everyone smiled and stood up, holding up their glasses with both hands. They said in a heroic voice: "Drink this glass to the full!"
Gongsun Zhi also stood up and saluted the scholar.
"Drink up!"
Lu Liangsheng clinked his cup with his, raised his head to drink it all, then looked at the bottom of the cup and smiled knowingly. He spread out his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please take a seat." He clapped his hands twice, and suddenly both sides of the square were filled with colored glaze. A cloud of smoke filled the air and rolled over the floor. In the mist, graceful maids in long skirts walked in the white mist caressing the ground. Amid the soft singing, they dragged wooden trays and walked under the warm red lanterns. The dishes were placed on the round tables from their hands.
After the banquet started, laughter, scolding and shouting turned into a clamor. People from the two tables were walking around and shouting things like "Hey, brothers, Liuliu!" and "Fatty Xu, come and have two jars with me?!"
Seeing the people at the next table shouting and making a lot of noise, with the Taoist priests also joining in, Lu Liangsheng smiled and took the wine glass and clinked it with Gongsun Zhi's. Looking at the time-traveling emperor drinking in front of him, he suddenly remembered the matter of White Wolf King Gongsun Liao.
"You traveled back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and traveled all the way to the north. I wonder if you have ever seen a big white wolf?"
"White wolf?"
Gongsun Zhi frowned, nodded, and put down the cup. "Why do you ask this, Master Lu? I have two big white wolves. The first one died of old age shortly after I came to power. The other one accompanied me for many years and finally died. However, I know its body and resurrected it. Now it is left in the desert to watch over the house."
The one at the back has been resurrected, and the one before it is probably Gongsun Liao.
It seems that what this guy said was true. When he returned to the Sui and Tang dynasties and knew that I was sitting at the same table with his master for dinner, I wonder what kind of expression he would have.
As if he had thought of the expression the other party might show, Lu Liangsheng couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth and smiled at Gongsun Zhi who was looking at him in confusion.
"I once met an old friend of your majesty. I won't tell you who he was for now. Perhaps, in the future, there will be a chance to ask him to come and see you in person."
His curiosity was aroused, but he got no answer. If he were the emperor back then, Gongsun Zhi might have been furious. But now, he could only point at the scholar with his hand and laugh out loud.
The two talked for a while, and Gongsun Zhi suddenly saw that there was a table full of dishes and drinks, but no one sat there. Puzzled, he was about to ask, but Lu Liangsheng shook his head, "That side is for a few friends who came from afar, and ordinary people can't see it."
As the scholar turned his sight, he saw that the empty round table was now filled with people wearing City God robes. Zhou Yu, Xu Sheng, and Ji Xin were also at the table. They raised their cups to toast him and put them under their mouths and noses to inhale the aroma of the wine.
"May I tell you?" Gongsun Zhi's curiosity grew stronger, and the other people at the two tables couldn't help but look at the empty table.
"They are all city gods from various places... some of them may be familiar to you."
The moment Lu Liangsheng said "Zhou Yu, Duke of Zhou.", Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others' eyes lit up. The huge man even stood up and ran over, stretching out his hand to touch the empty stool. As soon as he stretched out his hand, the back of his hand was hit by something. He covered his hand with a grimace and returned.
"It feels hot, almost like a burn. It must be Zhou Yu."
Dian Wei's winking expression immediately caused everyone at the table to burst into laughter. There was also a gust of cold wind in the square, as if the City God Zhou Yu over there joined the crowd in starting the storm.
“Master Lu, it’s really…” Gongsun Zhi looked at Dian Wei and sat down again. He suppressed his smile and turned his head to the side. However, he didn’t know how to describe it. He gestured: “… He really has many friends.”
As he spoke, he stared at the scholar with burning eyes and paused.
"Then I wonder if I can also be friends with Master Lu?"
"Aren't you and I drinking?"
Hahaha…
Ha ha!
After reacting, Gongsun Zhi looked at the wine glass in his hand and laughed. After laughing, he said in a clear voice, "Okay!"
"However, next time you want to drink, you may have to wait for some time." Lu Liangsheng bowed in return and looked at the empty table over there, "... I'm going back."
He took a deep breath and suddenly chuckled. He slowly stood up and walked out of his seat, looking around. There were people toasting at the table. People he had met and people he had never met gathered together. Dian Wei blew away the burning sensation on the back of his hand, then generously put on a big bowl and took Xu Chu to run to the next table to toast everyone. The wine overflowed and soaked his clothes. It was a very refreshing feeling.
Xu Chu, whose face was red from drinking, took off his upper body in front of the female relatives, revealing his muscular body. Before he could find someone to wrestle with, Lu Bu strode over and hit him on the head. After that, he threw his clothes back.
The mighty body returned to sit next to his wife. Zhang Fei, who was also drunk, let go of his second brother Guan Yu's hand, picked up the wine jar and staggered to the middle of the dancing stone statues, shouting like a pig being slaughtered, and danced along with them. Liu Bei ran to pull him away, but fell to the ground with his butt.
Guan Yu took a look, raised his glass and pulled Zhao Yun over to drink, and asked him to help with the date selling business. The two of them whispered about the idea of live streaming to sell goods.
He wanted to call Pan Feng, but the latter was holding him but burping. He ran to touch the maid's hand, and with a little force, he pressed it so hard that it sank in, and the whole hand hung on the wrist. He was so scared that he screamed a series of shocking screams, turned around and stumbled away, bumping into two people who were hiding in the corner with their butts sticking up. The Taoist looked up and was pulled back by Cao Cao. He pointed at a photo of a woman on the screen and waved his hands heroically, as if he was marching to a battle, and making plans.
The night is dark and the lake is surging.
The two sisters groped their way over, walked along the shore, heard the noise, looked towards the brightly lit temple, and walked towards it.
The lake breeze blows through the streets and alleys, through the deep alleys, just like the night breeze squeezing into the lighted rooms in a city covered with stars.
Under the light, two pieces of paper filled with names and deeds were handed to two figures, one big and one small, at the long table opposite. Soon, small frog webs and donkey hooves covered them.
The Toad Taoist was standing in front of a wall with a height measurement in the background, holding a piece of paper. He was facing the camera, and in the flickering shutter light, he was taking side and back photos from time to time. The old donkey next to him was doing the same with a piece of paper in his mouth.
The four people behind the camera gestured.
"Another one, good! Smile!"

The room was not big, but it was very noisy and lively.
