Life Hunter

In the Qihai Pavilion of Huahai Tower, people are drinking and drinking.

Li Qingxian chatted happily with Zhou Chunfeng's old subordinates, and became more and more relaxed as the wine reached a fever pitch.

From the kings of the Tiankang Dynasty seizing the legitimate sons, to the monster clan entering the pass, from the underworld returning to the sun, to the martial arts seizing power, to the demons from the Taining Dynasty entering the court, to the southern countries.

Everyone had almost no taboos, and they even made fun of the dirty jokes made by the current court elders and senior officials of the six ministries.

After talking for so long, no one mentioned the wise prince of Tiankang Dynasty who was captured by the demon clan.

At the end of the conversation, the topic focused on the situation of the demon clan and the current situation of Qiyuan City.

Everyone's face was still slightly red, but their eyes were particularly bright.

Li Qingxian knew everything he could and told the details of Qiyuan City one by one.

"The paradise of the North..." He Lei commented, and everyone praised him.

As they chatted, there were fewer and fewer people in the room, and He Lei whispered: "If you drink too much and go in and out, you will always meet someone you know. Let's go have a toast. That's cool."

Li Qingxian nodded.

When I went out to drain the water, I also met a few familiar people. I just nodded and came straight back.

After a while, officials from other rooms came to toast.

Most of the people who came were low-grade green clothes, and at most six-grade Feiyi. Li Qingxian sat firmly in the main seat and accepted the toast.

When there were fewer people toasting, He Lei and Li Qingxian chatted.

"In Shendu, different places have different drinking establishments. In a place like Haihua House, unless there are special circumstances, every room will be filled with stars, unless the hosts in different rooms are familiar with each other, or they have something to ask for. Say, otherwise the chief will generally not toast, and will ask the attendants to toast. Just now, the chiefs in those rooms heard that you are here, and even if they heard the rumors, they still want to give you a face and let people come to toast. "

Li Qingxian nodded. He had little experience in this area and needed to hear more from these people.

"Although Huahai Tower is a big place, top-class people rely on their status and are not special circumstances. They rarely come here. They usually entertain guests in their own mansions. Most of the middle-class people are sitting on the main seats here, or it is inconvenient to have banquets at home. A descendant of a wealthy family."

Li Qingxian remembered that he had eaten here before going to Qingyun for the last trial, and met Nanxiang Hou Meng Huaichuan. The participants were basically descendants of Hou Bo and senior officials.

The night was dark, and some people were leaving the table one after another.

Li Qingxian was about to leave when the door opened wide. Three people stood at the door, wearing brocade clothes. The leader was a fair-skinned young man.

When Li Qingxian saw that it was his former classmate Lou Yushan, he took the initiative to stand up.

More than a dozen night guard officials in the room quickly stood up and looked at the three people with smiles on their faces.

When Nalou Yushan saw so many low-grade and mid-grade people, a look of panic flashed across his face, but then he looked at Li Qingxian and forced a smile and said: "Xiaguan Lou Yushan, I have met Mr. Li Hou."

Li Qingxian waved his hands and said: "I have been a classmate for many years, but I am not used to this kind of address, so you still call me Qingxian. Come, come, sit next to me, everyone, this is my classmate in the academy, his name is Lou Yushan, and he works in the Ministry of Industry. "

When everyone heard that Li Qingxian did not introduce him in detail, they knew that the relationship was not close, and they all smiled and nodded.

Only a few people had heard of Lou Yushan's name and looked at it carefully, thoughtfully.

After the two parties exchanged greetings, Lou Yushan sat half-assed on the chair next to Li Qingxian. Regardless of Li Qingxian's persuasion, he offered Li Qingxian three glasses of wine.

The officials present just smiled and said nothing.

At the banquet, the only thing to do is to punish oneself with three drinks, how can there be three toasts in a row?

But Li Qingxian knew it well. The last time he met Lou Yushan and others at Zuixiangju, Li Qingxian didn't go to their wine shop, but he couldn't bear the invitation of his old friend Du Qizhen, so he went there late.

Then Du Qizhen took advantage of his drunkenness and asked Li Qingxian to punish himself with three drinks, and Lou Yushan also made a fuss.

At that time, a female classmate came to help, saying that she would punish herself with a drink first and then talk about other things later, to help Li Qingxian out of trouble.

Later, Lou Yushan found out that Li Qingxian had been promoted, so he decided to have a dinner party after the Qingyun test. As a result, Li Qingxian left in a hurry and the matter fell through.

Li Qingxian smiled and said, "You drank three drinks in a row. This reminds me that I didn't go to the class reunion after the Qingyun exam last time and went directly to Qiyuan County."

Lou Yushan smiled and said: "No, no, last time you didn't go, we dispersed after dinner. However, the classmates were very happy to hear that you were the top scholar in the high school Qingyun test. We didn't know you would come. Today we heard My lord only knew you were there after chatting with Lord He. I was afraid of delaying you, so I came later."

"How are you doing at the Ministry of Industry?" Li Qingxian asked.

Lou Yushan's face darkened but he immediately smiled and said: "You are a genius. In just a few years, you have been promoted to the sixth rank. We ordinary low-ranking people can be promoted to the first rank quickly in four or five years. I am a tenth rank in the Ministry of Industry , still the same."

Li Qingxian was a little surprised. Lou Yushan said the same thing at this time, just to express his displeasure. But his whole family was in the Ministry of Industry, and his father was an important member of the sixth rank. How could this happen?

"I also envy you. You are safe and sound in the city of God. It's not like me, who puts my head in my belt and fights against the demon clan." Li Qingxian said.

Everyone chatted for a while, and logically it was almost time to leave, but Lou Yushan's butt was stuck to the chair and he wouldn't get up.

He Lei said a few words to hint to Lou Yushan, but Lou Yushan didn't seem to understand.

He Lei thought about it carefully and waited. When he heard Lou Yushan still talking about the class reunion, Li Qingxian pretended not to understand, he suddenly realized.

Then he remembered what was going on with the Lou family and sent a message to Li Qingxian: "Lou Yushan's father was unlucky this year. He was rated as a junior high school student by the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He lost his position and was idle at home. Along with several other members of the Lou family, they had their tail between their legs. I am afraid that Lou Yushan is looking for you to find an excuse to ask you for something. You see, should I leave you two here to chat, or should I take him away."

After listening to the cause and effect, Li Qingxian understood what He Lei meant. If he didn't deal with it properly, Lou Yushan would do something with his drunkenness, and everyone would look bad.

Li Qingxian thought for a while and then said via voice message: "I just happened to go out to drain the water, and by the way, I went downstairs to chat with him."

So, Li Qingxian excused himself and left with Lou Yushan, entering a deserted place downstairs. The two of them stood on the veranda, looking at the autumn moon in the sky.

"Yushan, there are no outsiders here. If you have anything to say, just say it." Li Qingxian said.

Lou Yushan's face turned green and red, and after a while he forced a smile and said: "It's okay, it's okay, I just want to find an opportunity to entertain you with my classmates and congratulate you on your promotion to the Marquis of Qiyuan. It's nothing else."

Li Qingxian pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, but I'm busy learning fortune-telling these days and don't have much time. How about I contact you after I settle down for a while?"

Lou Yushan said hurriedly: "No problem, we all know that you are a very busy person now, I will wait for your news."

Li Qingxian nodded, patted Lou Yushan on the shoulder, and turned back to the private room.

Lou Yushan looked at Li Qingxian's back, his face was red, and it took a while for it to fade away.

He lowered his head and walked back slowly.
