Chapter 161 The battle of spirits
Wang Dongdong seemed to be very familiar with this operation. Without looking back, he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a name one by one: "Jiang! Cai! Bin!"< br>
I saw her head tilted up according to the force, and she kicked her from above to back. This kick contained spiritual power and was extremely powerful. Liu Sheng estimated that if this kick was hit, that person would be hit. His head may suffer from intracranial hemorrhage.
The man at the back was obviously not as good as Wang Dongdong in terms of cultivation and actual combat skills. He was startled and quickly let go and ran away.
"Wang Dongdong, we haven't seen you for so long, do you want me to die?" the man said bitterly.
Liu Sheng followed the sound and saw a thin, fair-skinned young man, who seemed to fall over in the wind. He was wearing royal blue brocade clothes. Compared to his figure, the clothes were a little loose and baggy, making him look lazy.
Wang Dongdong turned away in the air, turned towards him and punched him.
"Hey, hey, hey, that's enough!" When the man named Jiang Caibin saw that Wang Dongdong was serious, he took a step forward and then stepped back a foot.
"Who are you so annoying! You've always loved to pull my pigtails since I was a kid!" Wang Dongdong was caught between old and new grudges, as if he vowed to avenge them today, and when he saw him retreating, he took another step forward.
“Second brother!” Jiang Caibin hurriedly flew back, raised his head and shouted loudly to the people upstairs, calling for help.
"Hmph, you just call your brother here every time."
When Wang Dongdong saw this familiar summoning technique, he became even more angry and wanted to catch up, but it was too late. .
"Dongdong?" A steady man's voice came from upstairs.
Before he could react, a tall figure flew down from upstairs, protecting Jiang Caibin behind him.
"Dongdong, for brother's sake, don't bully Xiaobin. His cultivation level is not as good as yours."
But I saw that the person who came was a young man of about twenty-five or six years old. He had a straight face, a seriousness that showed no anger and self-respect between his eyebrows, and his eyes were deep and energetic. From the hair crown to the dark gray brocade robe, everything was neat and tidy. Qi is meticulous, and every indentation on the belt restraint is symmetrical. At first glance, he seems to be a person who is usually very strict with himself. His behavior is calm and decent, in sharp contrast to his younger brother.
Especially, Jiang Caibin poked his head out from behind the young man and smiled sideways at Wang Dongdong. He looked really frivolous and unworthy of a beating.
“Brother Cai Zhi.” Wang Dongdong suppressed the rising anger in his heart, clenched his fists behind him, and called out obediently.
Liu Sheng was surprised to find that Wang Dongdong, who had always been fierce and bold, could be so obedient, like a docile sheep.
However, only in front of this young man.
Jiang Caizhi nodded, as if he had no idea that Jiang Caibin was playing tricks behind him. He just said in a deep voice: "Come up quickly, everyone is waiting for you."
"Why is it so late?" It sounded like, There seemed to be some reproach in his words.
"I'm busy practicing, so I'm late." Wang Dongdong naturally wouldn't say it was because of Liu Sheng, but just found an excuse.
"It's time to work hard, the general examination will be held in a few days." Jiang Caizhi said old-fashionedly, remembering that Wang Dongdong came to the capital precisely because of the imperial examination.
Wang Dongdong has good talent, but does not work hard enough.
"You must remember to punish yourself with three drinks later." He said, without waiting for Wang Dongdong to agree or not, he strode straight towards Taibai Tower.
Jiang Caibin hurriedly walked a few steps behind him to avoid being with Wang Dongdong.
Wang Dongdong rolled his eyes, took the hand of Liu Sheng, who was already regretting and thinking about finding an excuse to run away, and followed him together.
[Alas, it turns out that you shouldn’t casually join a stranger’s bar. 】
【It's too late, it's too late, who told us to fall into the trap of roast duck and haggis soup. 】
[It turned out to be this situation. If I had known it was like this, my sister would not have come. 】
【Where does this accent come from? 】
【Since my sister doesn’t understand, why should my sister explain. 】
【Who is following your sister...】
Liu Sheng was following silently when he suddenly heard the man casually ask Wang Dongdong: "Who is this?" He seemed to have noticed what was behind him. A strange girl followed.
"My good friend, Liu Sheng, is also a candidate this year." Wang Dongdong introduced, "I wanted to get acquainted with you all."
Wang Dongdong's last sentence seemed to contain some kind of power, making the Jiang brothers seriously He looked at Liu Sheng.
It seems that apart from her appearance, there is nothing special about her. Judging from her clothes, she does not come from a wealthy family. It is instinctive for young people like them to look at their clothes first when looking at people.
The two secretly exchanged a look.
"Welcome, Miss Liu." Jiang Caizhi said, and then said no more.
Jiang Caibin laughed in a low voice and said: "Sister Dongdong, you haven't been to the capital for two years, right? Everyone has changed a lot. I'm afraid you don't know that there are candidates who want to have dinner with my second brother now. How much, if everyone hadn't been young, they wouldn't have come out to eat at this time."
Jiang Caizhi didn't say anything, acquiescing to this statement.
Liu Sheng understood that Jiang Caizhi should be from the Ministry of Rites.
The imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty was presided over by the Ministry of Rites.
"If that's the case, then I..." Liu Sheng was about to slip away, but no one welcomed him anymore, and he was still trying to get away with it.
Unexpectedly, he was grabbed by Wang Dongdong: "Shengsheng and I are life-long friends, so I cherish it and want to introduce it to everyone."
Jiang Only then did I see Wang Dongdong’s stubborn face, a little helpless. Nai, he said to Jiang Caibin: "Caibin, don't be unreasonable. I'm just an ordinary person. I'm just eating with the boys. Don't talk about it. Everyone who comes is a guest, so it doesn't matter."
It can be regarded as a step up.
Wang Dongdong's expression softened and he pulled Liu Sheng past them and walked quickly ahead.
The Jiang brothers looked at each other and smiled helplessly.
Now that they are preventing her from bringing her friends to the banquet, they have already lost her face, and they are not happy about it.
Who in this circle is not a little arrogant?
Wang Dongdong of the Xichuan Wang family is even more like this. She is a bit stubborn, but she is also very arrogant. They were a little afraid of her when they were children.
Although she would listen to Jiang Caizhi many times, it was just to respect him as the big brother in their circle.
If Jiang Caizhi was really wrong about anything, she wouldn't care about her eldest brother's face at all.
......
As soon as I stepped into Taibai Tower, I could hear the sounds of noise, the sound of silk and bamboo, and chatter and laughter.
The hollow space in the building leads to the top of the tower, and the light from the palace lanterns hanging above it shines down, illuminating the building as brightly as day.
Under the palace lanterns, on the stage, the musicians played music that Liu Sheng had never heard before. The flutes and flutes were melodious, the pipa sounded, and the drums were added little by little. The drums became more intense, and the hearts of those who heard it were heart-beating. Then there was vibration and noise.
Along with the music, a group of dancers danced gracefully. They were wearing red gauze dance skirts with bell pendants. As they danced lightly, the golden bells rang and the corners of their skirts flew, attracting bursts of applause and cheers.
The source of these cheers is the layers of guests leaning on the railings to watch. Except for the open lobby on the first floor, there are private rooms on the second floor and above. You can enjoy the beautiful view of the dance floor, and on the other side is the night view of Chang'an outside Taibai Tower.
I saw that all the tables in the lobby were full, and there were many young people wearing scholar's clothes. They were obviously students from all over the country who came to Beijing to take the exam, and they came to Taibai Building to have a look.
There were people talking and laughing everywhere, drinking and drinking, and the aroma of wine and meat was mixed together.
The busy waiters have a tray full of wine and food in their hands, and they nimbly shuttle among the bustling guests. Roast duck, roast lamb, haggis soup, squirrel and mandarin fish are delivered to each guest's table like a flowing stream. superior.
Liu Sheng and Ling Xiaoshu's eyes couldn't help but follow the plates of delicacies. The aroma and color made people unable to hold back.
“We are in the Guixiang Room on the second floor.” Wang Dongdong led Liu Sheng up the stairs, leaving the Jiang brothers behind.
Liu Sheng saw that her face still looked unhappy, so he said, "Actually, I can eat it myself, and I don't have to argue with them like this."
Wang Dongdong immediately stared: "You know Is it so difficult to reserve a seat in Taibai Building? You have to book it half a month in advance! Especially now that students from all over the country are gathering in the capital, you may not be able to get it even if you stay in Chang'an for a month."
Liu Sheng was silent for a moment. .
"And I just brought my friends to have a meal together, why not? Jiang Caibin brings new girls to play with us every three days, and they are all different. Did I say anything?" Wang Dongdongyue said Getting more and more angry.
