Eternal Heaven · Yuxi City
"Happy New Year!!"
Bai Huang stepped on the chair with one foot, raised the wine glass boldly, and called everyone to have a drink.
Although she had only drank for a short time, she had already entered a half-drunk state.
The main force of drinking has never been a guy like her who yelled loudly at the beginning, and the real master remained silent at the wine table. For example, He Yue, from the beginning of the banquet, countless people toasted him, but now he has no reaction after drinking, his smile is like a spring breeze from the beginning to the end, completely calming down this kind of occasion.
Last year's Chinese New Year banquet was limited to only a few people, but this year is quite different. On the one hand, many people have joined Yuxi City this year, and on the other hand, due to the influence of the League, many people have come to Yuxi City to explore the truth by taking advantage of the opportunity of the Spring Festival. Therefore, compared to last year's kotatsu party, this year's dinner is more pompous.
There are no famous chefs in Yuxi City, but whether it is the fruits and vegetables grown in the greenhouse, the dazzling spices or the hard-to-find wine outside, it is enough to support the scene. In particular, new dishes such as hot pot are also popular, and delicate dishes such as sushi are popular among women.
Because it is a public occasion, the banquet hall is divided into several tables.
He Yue, Fang Shisan, Shuang, and Yun Ye sat at the same table, and beside Fang Shisan was Tila who served her. Shuang wore a veil, hardly ate or drank, and just sat there with a smile on her face, looking enigmatic. The guests from outside couldn't help but look at her a few more times when they saw her, wanting to see what the leader of the Anbu organization who had been a headache for their territory for a long time looked like, but Shuang only said a few words occasionally, most of the time They all laughed without saying a word, always maintaining a detached sense of mystery.
The busiest of the four was He Yue, who had to face entertainment from all directions. Toasting him and chatting with him was the biggest purpose of many guests' trip. Although it was said that important matters were negotiated by the high-level officials of Yuxi City when Li De was away, but for outsiders, He Yue is now the core figure of Yuxi City, and his attitude is that of Yuxi City.
"Mr. Heyue... hiss, Miss Heyue? This...Mr. Heyue, please take care of me next year!"
A young man in his twenties was a little incoherent after seeing He Yue.
He Yue smiled slightly, held up the wine glass gracefully, and replied gracefully:
"You're too polite. I'm the one here to ask for your advice. I've heard of the virtuous name of the Seventh Prince of Ceylon. I'm sure our cooperation next year will be very pleasant."
Mu Hua, the seventh son of Ceylon, also hurriedly raised his wine glass and touched He Yue lightly. He Yue's smile was beautiful, and Mu Hua was intoxicated by it for a while. After He Yue drank the wine in the glass, he woke up suddenly and swallowed the high-quality wine in his glass, but was choked and coughed .
He Yue stood up and patted his back lightly.
Mu Hua lowered his head with a blushing face and whispered:
"Brother, I'm really sorry."
He Yue took a deep look at him, but she didn't get angry, but replied with a smile:
"The matter of Mu Risheng has nothing to do with the Ceylon territory, let alone you. It's good to forget about these unpleasant things. In the face of the general trend of the world, no one can be alone. Next year... cooperation must be more important."
Mu Hua responded, not daring to look at He Yue's smile anymore, and hurried back to his seat.
He Yue put the cup back on the table, sat down again, and lightly tidied up the black hair on her forehead.
The territory of Ceylon is really interesting. The fourth son, Mu Risheng, was the first to trouble Lide when he was heading north. After being killed, he was forced to send 4,000 war horses and 20,000 gold coins. At first they thought that the two families were going to break up completely, but soon the lord of Ceylon sent another envoy secretly to Yuxi City. After meeting Yunye, he politely expressed his request for friendship.
He Yue thinks Lord Ceylon is a smart man. The territory of Ceylon and Yunyang have always had good relations, and behind Mu Risheng's attack on Lide, there is the shadow of Lord Yunyang. But the lord of Ceylon should have noticed that Yunyang is no longer dominated by the lord's family, and it's hard to say who will own this territory in the future.
Therefore, the Lord of Ceylon did not choose to continue to die, but chose to reconcile. He sent his seventh son, Mu Hua, to go to Yuxi City personally. The biggest characteristic of this young man is that he is innocent and honest. He may say wrong things, but he will never offend anyone.
This is preparing to bet on both ends, and it also means that in his eyes, it is impossible for Lord Yunyang to easily wipe out the forces of Yuxi City.
He Yue, who quickly processed the information in his mind, was smiling. He had been toasted a lot of wine so far, and in conversion, he must have at least two bottles of liquor. Even He Yue, who has always been a good drinker, felt a little hot all over. He picked up a chopstick of cold food and chewed slowly, still calmly.
Fang Shisan rarely persuaded her:
"Drink less."
Holding her forehead, He Yue poked her elbow at Yun Ye, who was devoting herself to eating, and said:
"The important guests have almost finished paying respects, and the second half will be left to you?"
Yun Ye tilted her head cutely, just in time, several envoys sent by the Lord of Yunyang came to toast, He Yue smiled and waved her hands, saying that she was too strong to drink, so she asked Yun Ye to do it for her. Yun Ye hurriedly stood up, swallowed the food in her mouth, almost biting her tongue; seeing that several people present were holding wine glasses, she also hurriedly poured herself a glass of wine.
After one bite, the eyes are different.
Flicking her hair back, Yun Ye said aggressively:
"After the dinner, there will be a military parade in Yuxi City. At that time, I will take a few of you to the auditorium to take a seat. Beat the gong and sell sugar, and each will do a line. There will be long days of cooperation in the future."
After one of the messengers finished drinking, he stared into Yun Ye's eyes, pondered for a while, and said hypocritically:
"Then I'll trouble Master Yun. Alas, it's a pity that the Fourth Young Master is not here... Speaking of which, does Master Yun have any news about him?"
Because Yun Ye is relatively strong outside, she exudes confidence from her eyes to her smile, and she has touched the hearts of many ladies during her visits, so she is also well-known. I don’t know when everyone will meet as "Master Yun".
Facing the envoy's temptation, Yun Ye hooked the corners of her lips, poured another glass of wine into the wine glass, and filled the envoy's wine glass as well.
She touched the man with her glass and said:
"Our city owner, auspicious people, has their own celestial features, so there will be no problems. However, the view of Yuxi City has always been that 'the virtuous live in it'. The future of Yunyang cannot be separated from your efforts. I hope that next year, we can Let’s share the results of our hard work together.”
The messenger stared at the white wine in the glass, showed a smile, and drank the wine in one gulp.
They represent the city lords of Yunyang. If Li De, the owner of Yuxi City, cannot come back, most of the future Lords of Yunyang will be selected from among the city lords behind them. From this point of view, they eagerly hope that the owner of Yuxi City will die in Lingwu, but this is not convenient. explain.
Fortunately, Yun Ye understood their intentions, and gave an answer that symbolized Yuxi City's attitude—
The virtuous live there.
