Chapter 182 Banquet
The people of Youzhou City rarely had a good sleep last night.
After the heavy fog surged, most of the people in the city were panicked. Many people thought that they would not be able to sleep tonight, but suddenly they did not expect that a breeze blew in the middle of the night. Their panic was swept away, giving them a good dream.
In this dream, some people saw their deceased family members or their dear lovers; some people looked high and saw the beauty of thousands of mountains; some people feasted on delicious food and tasted the unique taste of the world.
When I woke up early the next morning, I felt refreshed and very comfortable.
They got together again and started to discuss in whispers:
“What happened last night?”
“I don’t know that, I just remember that. There was a heavy fog, which was really scary.”
“I saw a figure in the sky. It must have been Liu Xian pushing back the fog.”
“It seemed. No, I was close at that time and I also saw that figure. He was a neatly dressed Taoist. Liu Xian had never worn so many clothes."
"It's true, Liu Xian doesn't seem to dress well..."
Everyone in Youzhou City also enjoyed the gossip, and it is estimated that there will be no shortage of conversation topics for some time to come.
There was not much chatting, and most of the people in Youzhou began to work again, cultivating hard-to-farm land and running their own small shops.
Even if there was heavy fog and tidal waves yesterday, as long as you don’t die today, you have to continue working.
Even if King Wei had to find ways to arrange for soldiers to stand guard every day, let alone common people like them.
He's not a second son who just wants to have fun.
However, this work has not yet begun. The residents of Youzhou City suddenly discovered that several fast horses ran out from Prince Wei's mansion. They were all handsome young soldiers from the city, shouting happily as they ran. :
"Today King Wei will hold a big banquet for the people in the city. He will open a warehouse in the main city, set up a big pot, and watch all kinds of rare meats being put into it. Those who are interested can come to the main entrance. Everyone in the city was filled with joy after hearing this.
This is not the first time that King Wei has held a flowing banquet.
The northern fortress is full of dangers. From the north, there will always be some black water evil creatures coming, and there will often be several battles. King Wei will also lead his soldiers to attack and kill the evil creatures, and never let any black water evil creatures. Take one step beyond this gate.
Every time King Wei wins a great victory, he will open the warehouse and hold a big banquet.
This is a unique pleasure in the entire Youzhou City. As soon as the banquet starts, almost everyone in the city will gather.
Whether it is farmers who are cultivating the land, woodcutters who cut down trees, or businessmen who run shops in the city, occasionally even passing merchants will come.
It’s like celebrating the holidays with ease.
And this is also a signal.
It means that the crisis has passed, Youzhou has returned to peace, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and live happily.
Those who can’t afford meat can take advantage of this day to have a full meal, and those who can afford meat can also come to cheer up.
Of course, the people will not come empty-handed.
How can we have a feast without bringing some good things from our own homes?
Those who have food will bring a bag of grain, those who have meat will take a few strips of bacon from the meat rack, those who have money will take some precious seasonings, and those who have nothing will pick some fruits from the woods outside. Use it to amuse the children.
There are also some people who really can’t afford anything good to eat or drink, so they simply take gongs, wear red silk, play the suona, dance and sing, and disturb this long stretch of Youzhou City. It was so lively and exciting!
The neighbor on the left contacted the one on the right, and the old man told the child that like a tide, the people gathered at the front door.
“Well, there are so many people! I have never seen so many people during New Year’s Eve!”
Caiyi, who was helping prepare the banquet at the front door, saw people coming and couldn’t help but Clicked his tongue twice.
She followed Zuo Chen and attended several banquets, ranging from a banquet held in the village with roasted chicken and duck to a health banquet in Xuzhou at that time.
She likes the banquet of roasted chicken and duck. She can reach up and break off the chicken and duck legs, then drink a bowl of wine, and she is overjoyed.
Although the Ankang Banquet was large, Xuzhou was really suffering at that time, and King Kang was cooked. He vented his anger more than attending the banquet, but Caiyi felt uncomfortable and uncomfortable there.
Today’s scene in Youzhou is big and really big, and smooth is really smooth.
I was so happy that I threw some colorful clothes out on the spot to play with the children nearby, which caused the children to scream in surprise and screamed that the fairy sister came down to earth.
This makes Caiyi so beautiful that snot bubbles are almost coming out of her nose.
Hu Wen also came to the banquet with the little fox in his arms. Where had this fox seen so many people gathered together? He just screamed and hugged his head with two small arms. Rather than being excited, he was trembling with fear, fearing that Hu Wen would throw him to the ground and face these countless legs.
Smiling dumbly, Hu Wen gently touched the little fox’s head.
After the great dream in Qingqiu, his attitude towards the little fox was completely different.
This is the bloodline that the Qingqiu immortals worked hard to keep. It is actually a good thing not to know the world.
"Lang Jun, why are there so many people around here? What are they doing?"
After staring for a while, Fox Ni's curiosity was finally aroused. She suppressed the fear in her heart and looked around. Circle around and carefully ask yourself, Mr. Lang.
“It’s time to eat soon.”
“Eat!” Fox Ni’s ears suddenly stood up: “What to eat?”
“Meat. Stew. Stew.”
"Meat! I like eating meat! I'm going to eat a lot of meat this time!"
"Okay." Hu Wen rubbed the little fox's head and said with a smile, "I'll fill it up for you then. A big bowl.”
After hearing this, the little fox’s eyes narrowed with laughter, not to mention how happy he was. At the main seat on one side, Zuo Chen was led to the main guest seat. He had just finished telling King Wei and Liu Quande what happened in the north, which caused one person and one demon to sigh:
"After rescuing Hu Wen back then, I did notice that this boy had a different bloodline, but I really didn’t expect that he was a descendant of Qingqiu!" Liu Quande was quite emotional.
"After all, Qingqiu Dream needs to burn Qingqiu's blood. To escape from the sea of suffering, such a long time will indeed burn out the blood in his body. Today's Hu Wen is just an ordinary young man. It's just that A little bit of Qingqiu Immortal's characteristics remain."
Zuo Chen explained.
After chatting for a few more words, Li Ji drank a bowl of monkey wine and his face turned slightly red.
This monkey's wine is very powerful, even a congenital Taoist like Li Ji got a little drunk after drinking a few more bowls.
Ask Zuo Chen:
"What are the Taoist priest's next plans?"
"I plan to go to Kyoto to investigate the affairs of the capital. I think it has something to do with the sea of suffering."
"Why don't the Taoist priest slow down first? In three months, I will go to Yuzhou to find my brother King Jing. He also has a lot of news about Kyoto."
"I really plan to stop by and see King Jing... King Wei, why do you feel like there is something behind your words? "
Zuo Chen asked curiously.
Listening to Zuo Chen's question, Li Jize chuckled:
"This time the Taoist Master has completely decided on the road to the bitter sea in the north. It is estimated that there will be no black water monsters for a long time. I The iron cavalry under my command can also be liberated.
“I have no interest in this world, and I don’t want it to continue to rise and fall. The Taoist priest is studying the important matter of saving the world. It must be that the more peaceful the world is, the better. My nephew is not capable of this while on the throne. "
When King Wei said this, Zuo Chen also came to his senses.
After Qingqiu Mountain sealed off the north, at least for fifty years, it would be impossible for even half of the black water monsters to survive. Across the mountains
This period of time is also enough for the king to clear his side, and the entire Liang is in his hands.
“I know that the Taoist Master wants to support the new kid from Xuzhou to become the emperor, but I just thought about it. What the world needs now is a strong country more than another emperor!
“The sea of suffering is about to destroy the world, so what a fucking fool! It would be better to gather a few more capable people to quickly get the beams in order and clear out the rotten roots rooted in this area.
“I don’t say whether I can help the Taoist priest, at least I can’t hold him back.
“I don’t know what your intention is? ”
Hearing Li Ji's words, Zuo Chen hardly glanced at the middle-aged man twice.
He could probably tell that this plan was definitely not Li Ji's whim. I'm afraid he had had this idea a long time ago.
Sweep away the evil in Daliang and reshape the fundamentals of human beings.
It's just that his army was dragged down by the evil creatures in the sea of suffering and couldn't move at all, so he didn't tell anyone about his plan.
“So you want three months?”
"Yes, I need to organize the troops. I also need to take care of my nephew Changwang Li He who has never been very obedient. When you set off for Kyoto in three months, five thousand cavalry will be there. It’s beyond the gate of Kyoto. As long as you give the order, hehe, I really don’t believe that Kyoto can handle my group of brothers who came out from the sea of suffering!”
“You! It's quite an idea." Zuo Chen said with a smile: "So how do you plan to deal with King Chang? Just kill him?"
"That's not possible, Mr. Jingzhou, if you really want to kill him, then. Three months is definitely not enough. But...my nephew will come to you on his own initiative." Li Ji smiled as if he had come up with some weird ideas.
“What do you say?”
“Didn’t he send Xiao Huanxi here... If Xiao Huanxi succeeds, do you think he will lead an army into Youzhou?”
...
After we finished talking about the business, a large pot was set up not far away, and a lot of firewood was put under the pot to burn.
The water in the big pot has been filled to the brim, and all kinds of meat and seasonings have been poured in, making it steaming.
Li Ji stood up, raised his wine glass, and said happily:
“Let’s have a banquet!”
Following his call, the soldiers all said in unison:
“Let’s have a banquet!”
The people cheered and moved tables one after another from their homes, placing their own tables on top. Food and fruit plate, chatting and laughing at the same time, it was as lively as the Chinese New Year.
Looking at the lively scene in front of him, Zuo Chenben Pingbo finally felt a little throbbing in his heart.
At this moment, Zuo Chen finally realized why he had that subtle feeling in his heart when he saw Hu Wen reunited.
He thought of the distant past, of the small house, of the people at the table, of the face he hadn't seen for a long time but was still impressive.
It is difficult for a wanderer to return home.
In a daze, Zuo Chen's mind was also slightly disturbed.
"Taoist Master? What's wrong?"
Suddenly, Cai Yi's voice came from next to his ears. Zuo Chen came back to his senses and found Cai Yi standing next to him, worried. Look at him.
"Nothing. I just remembered some of the past."
Zuo Chen adjusted his mood.
Look at the joyful face again.
If you can’t find your past destination, then keep your current destination.
Thinking in my heart, there is no confusion in my heart.
I recently revised the manuscript and stayed up for half a month. When I woke up in the morning, there was a smell of blood in my nose...
