Chapter 25: Banquet

Views:

Wang Taixu's eyes narrowed instantly.

He couldn't believe that Ding Ning had already figured out the crux of the problem that he had been thinking about for a long time but was just a few words of dialogue with one question and one answer

"what is the problem?"

He looked at Ding Ning seriously, and humbly asked for advice.

"Since it cannot be an external problem, it is naturally your own problem." Ding Ning said calmly.

Wang Taixu paused for breath, and a cold light shot out from his slightly narrowed eyes.

"Even if it's begging for mercy and begging you to give me a way to survive, I still have to show some weight and worry that you don't want to give me a way to survive." Ding Ning smiled slightly and said: "Now they can't bring more people, and the place is chosen by you. The key is that the mediators invited are not enough. This is the biggest doubt, Tang Que of Jinlin Tang, isn't he afraid that you will not give face to Zhang Fatty of Lei Yutang?"

Hearing Ding Ning's words, Wang Taixu's face became more and more gloomy.

However, Ding Ning didn't seem to notice his face at all, and continued: "And you also said earlier, Tang Que and the others are backed by people in the temple. For those people in the temple, Although they can't make a lot of noise and don't dare to use His Majesty's private property, the life of a Jianghu practitioner like Tang Que is not much different from a cat or a dog in their eyes. So they don't Will allow Tang Que to fail so easily, and will definitely make him fight hard again."

Wang Taixu's complexion became colder, he lowered his voice, and said slowly: "So your judgment is that there is something wrong with the people around us?"

Ding Ning nodded and looked at him: "I don't know where you guys have a banquet to negotiate, but I'm afraid this will not only make you empty, but also kill you."

Wang Taixu took a deep breath, and said softly: "But my brothers are all from the same township, and they are all friends who have stood up to the sword."

"People will change, and because of the pressure of the momentary situation, they may do some things they don't want to do. People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves. You should know the true meaning of this sentence better than me." Ding Ning Slightly mocking: "And everyone has weaknesses, and you also have weaknesses."

Wang Taixu said with an ugly face, "What do you see as my weakness?"

"You are probably very loyal, so it was the same when you were talking about the terms with me just now. You took it for granted that I am the same person as you. Maybe the atmosphere on your two floors is also the same on weekdays, so you naturally feel that everyone around you All the brothers are as loyal as you." Ding Ning looked at him calmly, "You can be the owner of the current two-story building, of course you are also a very smart and far-sighted person, but you don't understand such a simple thing. You can’t understand, you can’t see clearly, it’s just because you have such a weakness, because you don’t think about that aspect at all, and you don’t think about that possibility at all. Before seeing something, you cover one of your eyes first, and put what should have been Some people who watched also left it out, how can you see the whole situation clearly?"

Wang Taixu remained silent.

He is not a pedantic person, otherwise he would never ask for advice seriously like Ding Ning, who is still a child in the eyes of most people.

He also began to admit in his heart that it was indeed possible.

Then this big banquet is really not just a feast that determines the situation of the rivers and lakes in Changling City, it is not a question of how the two floors will survive in the future, and how to go further, but it is directly related to his life and death.

A few drops of cold sweat trickled down from his temples unconsciously.

"Just tonight."

He didn't hide anything, he casually wiped his cold sweat with his hands, coughed lightly, looked at Ding Ning and said, "Tang Que has made an appointment with Fatty Zhang, and he will negotiate with me at Hongyun Building tonight."

Ding Ning frowned slightly, but did not speak.

Wang Taixu covered the corners of his mouth with a silk scarf, and continued: "If Lord Li Ling hadn't happened to be here today, if I hadn't come to see you personally and heard what you said, then after tonight, I might be dead already."

"Life and death... Think about it now, human life is really too fragile sometimes."

A solemn look appeared on Wang Taixu's face, he looked deeply at Ding Ning: "Today's big banquet, I want you to go with me. I will do something for you... Then, if I can live safely After tonight, two floors and I will never forget you in the future."

"I can go with you." Ding Ning said without hesitation, "But if you are rich, please forget each other."

Wang Taixu was startled.

If the matter of Jinlin Tang can be completely resolved today, then at least for a long period of time, the two-story building will have a higher status in the Jianghu of Changling.

The gratitude and support of such a gang would be a valuable asset to anyone.

But now Ding Ning seems to be afraid of having more relationship with them in the future.

He couldn't figure it out, so he couldn't help asking: "Why?"

"Sometimes, the things we do are different, so it's best not to owe each other too much. I only want mine, and you only want yours. It's clean like this." Ding Ning looked at him and said calmly, "If you have expectations, you will have them in the future." May disappoint each other."

Wang Taixu frowned deeply again.

"It seems that the world you think of is different from what we see. In this case, I hope you will get your wish and enter the Minshan Sword Sect."

He covered his mouth with the silk scarf again, and said this very sincerely.

"Let's go. I need to prepare for tonight's banquet."

Then, he stood up and motioned for Ding Ning to follow him and leave.

In the backyard, the eldest grandson Qianxue, who was listening to these conversations, kept frowning slightly. She seemed to want to say something to Ding Ning, but in the end she lowered her head a little annoyed, regardless of Ding Ning who left with Wang Taixu.

The setting sun is about to fall, and the night is slowly approaching, like a god in the distance, slowly pulling a black banner across the sky.

A black carriage slowly walked out of the mortuary of Shendujian. The black carriage faced the dim sky in the distance, as if it was welcoming the night.

Along the way, many officials of the Shendu Prison stood bowed, their eyes full of awe and hatred.

Driving the black carriage was an old servant with a haggard face, like a zombie. In the carriage, Supervisor Tian Si Si Shou Ce, who was still dressed in a white dress, closed his eyes coldly, as if he had fallen asleep.

Extraordinary characters have their own extraordinary aura. Although this black carriage does not have any markings, it is unimpeded along the way. All the carriages along the way give way consciously or unconsciously.

However, when the carriage was traveling on a wide road, a majestic carriage slowly approached the black carriage face to face, and finally stopped opposite the black carriage.

The reason why this carriage is described as majestic is first of all that it is very large, and it is a carriage that needs to be pulled by four horses.

Secondly, its decoration is not like other carriages, which use gold, silver or beautiful jade, but completely black armor.

Even the horses of the four trailers were covered with fish scale armor.

The four horses are very tall, with strong calves, and their steps are almost identical. They are obviously war horses that have been trained for a long time.

Seeing this majestic carriage approaching slowly, the old servant driving the black carriage remained expressionless, but slowly stopped the carriage.

The two carriages faced each other with a distance of ten feet.

"Nine dead silkworms?"

A sound like gold and iron rubbing against each other sounded from the cast-iron carriage, strangely non-diffusing, and spread into the black carriage like a line.

Ye Ce, who was dressed in a white dress, opened his eyes when he was cold, and said expressionlessly, "Yes."

"very good."

The passengers in the wrought-iron carriage seemed to sneer, and then continued: "After discussing the official business, next, let Chief Ye get out of the carriage to discuss private matters."

Before the sound fell, the carriage buzzed, and even the countless scales on the four horses that stood still were constantly shaking.

The curtain, as heavy as iron, was lifted.

An exceptionally tall man stepped out of the carriage.

The heavy carriage lost a lot of burden, and it jumped up slightly for a moment.

This is a tall, fat man.

His body shape is roughly equivalent to three tall and strong men squeezed together.

Every part of his body, on his arms, legs, face, neck, and stomach, was piled high with fat.

It is true that only such a big carriage can fit a fat man like him.

It's just that a man who is so fat usually can't even walk fast, but he is different, every piece of fat on his body gives people the feeling that it contains terrifying power.

So even though his body was full of fat, his eyes were almost invisible due to the fat, but he felt extraordinarily majestic, extraordinarily terrifying, like a majestic giant mountain.

Almost everyone in Changling knew him.

He is Xu Bing, one of the most ordinary soldiers in the Great Qin Dynasty, the strongest successor in the history of Hengshan Sword Academy, and finally named a Marquis.

One of the thirteen princes of the Great Qin Dynasty!

Hengshan Xuhou!

The night wind was gentle.

A white dress appeared in the gray and black streets of Changling.

With a calm face, Ye Ce got out of the carriage and stood opposite the mountainous prince.

Her figure was petite, compared to Xu Hou, she was like a slender white flower.
