On the day of the birthday banquet, the sky was clear and even the clouds were more beautiful than usual.

The Yuan Mansion set up tables for the birthday banquet early in the morning, and by noon, it was already full of people. Such a bustling and noisy scene was really rare in the increasingly depressed frontier.Because of this, people from all corners of the world wanted to join in the fun. Half of the famous people in Dunhuang had received invitations, and all of them dressed up and came to the banquet with great fanfare. Try to save face and earn a place for yourself.

Holding the invitation letter, Zhao Shitu was naturally confident and brought Mingyuezhu and Luo Huan to come together. As soon as he entered the gate of the courtyard, Yan Wuhua greeted him with a smile on his face.

For the past few days, he has been living in the Yuan Mansion, in the guest room arranged by Manager Jia. After all, the Yuan Mansion is a well-known family, and the hospitality is naturally thoughtful. After a few days of recuperation, his complexion is much rosier than when he was in the desert, although he is still thin , but the tiredness on his face has faded away, and his gestures are a little more lively than before. When he came up, he greeted: "It's a great honor to be reunited with you after a few days of goodbye. I was able to escape from danger. It's thanks to Escort Zhao and the two escorts, I must toast you a few more glasses today."

Zhao Shitu hurriedly said politely: "Where is it, brother Yan is serious, I dare not toast, but drinking together is no problem."

"That's good." Yan Wuhua smiled modestly and softly, glanced around, and asked, "Didn't Brother Shangguan come with you?"

Zhao Shitu said: "My friend has a weird temperament, he is not used to places with many people, I hope Brother Yan is not to blame."

Yan Wuhua pursed her lips slightly, a confused expression flashed across her face, but she quickly regained her smile, and said sideways: "In that case, I won't disturb his rest, I'll thank him later, everyone follow me first Take your seat."

The four of them walked through the front yard together and into the main hall.The main hall is also a splendid scene. The floor facing the gate is paved with woolen blankets. There are guest seats on the left and right sides. There are hundreds of seats inside and outside. The front is the owner's seat. Leather high chair.

Before the master of the house arrived, the guests who arrived first were led by the servants and sat down one by one.The order of seating is also particular, those who offer birthday gifts are counted as honored guests, and sit in the front row, according to their status, the closer to the middle, the more important people are. Although Yan Wuhua is also a honored guest, she has no family background and belongs to the headless One class, so they were arranged on the outer seats, almost affixed to the beams and columns at the corners of the main hall.

Zhao Shitu sat at the same table with him, and stared at the carvings of auspicious clouds and flying phoenixes on the beams and pillars for a while. The beams and pillars had been wiped countless times, and even the vermilion lacquer and copper nails were spotless. Although they were neat, they were really boring. After watching it for a while, my eyes soon became tired.As usual, Mingyuezhu looked bored, while Luo Huan couldn't sit still at all, looked around, and wanted to run out every once in a while, but Zhao Shitu held the collar and pushed him back to the seat every time.

Zhao Shitu had nothing to do, so he simply pricked up his ears to observe the situation around him. A table not far away was full of people, and they were talking. It turned out to be the group of bodyguards he and Shangguan Qing had met in the teahouse earlier.

The people are still the same people, but their faces are very different.All of them wore golden silk crowns, brocade gowns with makeup and flowers, and jade ornaments as big as cakes hanging around their waists. It was presumably that their own bodyguard bureau had received a big order, and all of them made a lot of money.

It's a pity that people's money bag can change quickly, but self-cultivation is not so easy to change.Although the group of people dressed decently, their way of speaking was still rude.One of them even ignored the occasion and asked in a low voice: "I heard that although Master Yuan is rich and powerful, he doesn't even have a son under his knees. Is it true?"

Immediately someone answered: "There was one before, but it died when I was young, and within a few years, the wife of the original wife also died of depression. What happened after that... There are many romantic affairs, but it's a pity that none of them came to fruition. "

"Madam's sons are dead? It must be a mistake."

"It's impossible for him to get involved in all the good things. If you have money and power, you will always have something to lose."

"In my opinion, it's all romantic debts I owed when I was young, and I will reap the fruits of it."

He thought that if he lowered his voice, no one could hear it, but Zhao Shitu not only heard it, but also heard it clearly. He shook his fan and coughed loudly a few times.Finally, one of the people at the table was startled and turned around in a panic. After recognizing his identity, his expression immediately turned to contempt, cursed a few words, turned his back and ignored him.

Zhao Shitu could only twist his fan and shook his head helplessly.

Yan Wuhua sensed his strangeness, and asked: "Should Escort Zhao find it difficult to tolerate their arguments?"

Zhao Shitu said: "Regardless of the occasion, it's rude to talk about other people's family affairs. It's useless to judge others by yourself. It's useless. A group of rude and moral people, how can I not be angry."

Yan Wuhua was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly: "I think you are really nice, you are indeed a gentleman."

Zhao Shitu waved his hand back and asked, "Brother Yan doesn't think so too?"

Yan Wuhua said: "I really hate the mannerisms of these people, but I'm not angry."

Zhao Shitu raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

Yan Wuhua continued: "No matter how ugly they say in private, they still have to bow their knees in front of Master Yuan. In this case, their accusations at this moment can be said to be completely weightless. People in high positions disdain to waste time looking down."

Zhao Shitu thought about his words carefully, and saw a bit of arrogance in his delicate eyebrows and eyes, and couldn't help asking: "Actually, I've always been curious, why brother Yan doesn't practice martial arts?"

Yan Wuhua said dejectedly: "It's not that I don't want to, but it's a pity that I was exposed to wind and cold when I was young, and I suffered from the root cause of the disease. My physical foundation is poor, and I can't practice any kind of internal skills. I can only play tricks, but I don't even have the ability to protect myself. It is useless. He’s a scholar, so he’s talking about me.” He paused for a moment, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, “I really envy you all, especially Brother Shangguan, even I can see that his talent is extraordinary, supplemented by the hard work of the day after tomorrow. , becoming famous in the world is only a matter of time."

Zhao Shitu was startled at first, and quickly said in relief: "Brother Yan is proficient in medical skills, heals the wounded and saves people, it is also very remarkable."

Yan Wuhua said: "Medical skills were only learned for self-help at the beginning, and after accumulating some experience, I tried to diagnose and treat others. It is far from a real doctor."

Zhao Shitu looked at the other party's dejected and proud expression, and was amazed in his heart.He once again felt that Yan Wuhua was really unusual. Although she didn't understand martial arts, she was more ambitious than martial arts practitioners. In addition, she was captured in the desert before, but she was able to escape calmly and persist until rescuers came. ordinary people.

Such a person can't practice martial arts, and his ambition can't be rewarded. I don't know if it's God's will.

Thinking of this, Zhao Shitu's heart softened again, and all the reasons that he was worried about before now felt irrelevant.

Yan Wuhua also stared at him for a while, and said with a slight smile: "Today, I am convinced that Zhao Biaotou is a gentleman, and the doubts in my heart can finally be dispelled."

Zhao Shitu was stunned: "Doubts? Brother Yan, what doubts do you have?"

Before he had time to ask, there was a sudden sound of drumming in his ears, and the guests at the banquet were also moved.Yan Wuhua turned towards the stage and said: "It seems that the main character has arrived."

This grand birthday banquet is finally about to kick off.

Zhao Shitu also followed the prestige, and saw a person walking steadily, it was the head of the Yuan family, the head of the Golden Knife Escort, and also the head of the Escort—Yuan Leixing.

Yuan Leixing came to stand in front of the guests, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, brothers, for coming to the humble house."

His hair was slightly white, his figure was still very tall and straight, with a calm smile on his face, he raised his glass to toast the four directions.

Sure enough, there was no heir and wife behind him, but a few apprentices lined up in a row respectfully, bowing to celebrate his birthday as a junior.

After drinking the first glass of wine, the dishes for the birthday banquet were brought to the table one by one, and the presenters also walked up to the front of the hall one by one according to the pre-determined order.Among them, apart from Jianghu sects, large and small bodyguard bureaus, there are also rich merchants from all over the world, and there are even servants in the yamen.At this birthday banquet, the sound of bells and drums shocked the world far and near.

Mr. Jia was busy around Yuan Lei's house, receiving gifts and expressing thanks again, the gold chain around his neck dangled with the fat on his stomach, his sweaty forehead was glistening with oil.

The guests sent gifts of all kinds, including exquisite jewelry, eye-catching weapons, and miscellaneous things such as medicinal materials, meals, musical instruments, book scores, etc., and soon, the camphor wood in front of the hall The long table was filled to the brim, and even the bottom of the table was full of large and small boxes.I don't know how long it took, even Yuan Leixing himself was tired, and finally it was Yan Wuhua's turn to step forward.

Yan Wuhua's expression was as calm and polite as ever, Yuan Leixing couldn't help looking at him, as if he was quite interested in this young man: "Mr. Yan, I heard that you have worked so hard to come here from outside the pass."

Yan Wuhua cupped her hands and said, "I've admired the great hero Yuan for a long time, and I'm honored to come here today to celebrate my birthday. It's a great honor. It's hard work."

Yuan Leixing nodded appreciatively and watched him put the package in his hand.

His package was really simple and unpretentious, and there was nothing special about it. The guests who sat on it were not interested, and they didn't even bother to take a look at it.

He was neither in a hurry nor in a hurry, he just untied the tie calmly, took out the contents inside, put his hands forward, nodded and said: "This is the gift I want to offer."

The light golden silkworm clothing is pure in texture and full of light. The jewels on the camphor wood table can hardly overwhelm its limelight. On the contrary, the dimly lit hall is somewhat illuminated by it.

All colors changed, and the crowd stirred.

Among the guests present, there are quite a few well-informed and insightful veterans, but even these people can see that the silkworm clothes in the hands of the young people are definitely rare treasures and priceless, and other gold and silver objects are absolutely incomparable to it. compared to.

After a long while, someone in the banquet shouted: "It's the gold thread clothes! The golden silk snow silkworm treasure clothes that are invulnerable to swords and guns."

Although he recognized the name of the treasure, who was the young man who presented the treasure?Where did the treasure clothes come from?Among all the guests, no one knew.

Yuan Leixing knew about it.

The protagonist who had been calm and unhurried finally showed a look of horror, but his eyes moved away from the treasure clothes, fixedly staring at the young man in front of him, and said incoherently: "You... Could it be that you are..."
