Zhan Ye

It was almost noon, and the banquet hall was full of guests. He Xiuyun led Duan Ximei through the room, which still attracted all kinds of attention, but as usual, no one came forward to strike up a conversation.After walking to a position not far from the chairman, He Xiuyun stood still, his eyes swept across the crowd in the banquet, and he let out a little disappointment.

Mr. Duan's sarcasm was on the verge of exiting, but seeing the loss of color on her face was very real, the words came out: "Maybe that person is not in the chair, you might as well go around."

He Xiuyun shook his head: "In his capacity, if he comes here, he must be the chairman. If he hasn't arrived yet, he probably won't come." After a moment of sleepiness, he regained his energy, pointed at the chairmen and whispered Said, "Just now, the owner of the Dongfang Villa said that the Nangong family and the Qu family are both listed in the seven martial arts sects with the Dongfang family. Apart from them, the four people sitting next to the old man Dongfang are Murong Cheng, the head of the Murong family, and the head of the Shenxing Palace. Long Teng, Duan Tianxing, head of the Qilin Sect, and Fang Chou, head of the Cangqiong Sect, it's rare to get together this time."

The two of them stood for a long time and had already attracted the attention of the main table. Dongfang Yu stood up and clasped his fists to He Xiuyun and said, "Mr. He, please come and sit here."

He Xiuyun smiled, knowing that these two seats were originally reserved for the Nangong and Qianqiu Sect masters, and he was not polite to him, so he took Duan Ximei and sat at the last two seats at the main table.The two of them, the "Lord of the Brothel" and the little beggar, have already spread their reputation in the whole hall, and now that they are so big, some people around them don't look so good.

Seeing this subtle change in his eyes, Dongfang Yu was about to speak, but he heard He Xiuyun ask: "Forgive me for talking too much, dare I ask Mr. Xie from the upstairs if you are here today?"

As soon as she uttered the word "Xie Gongzi", two people at the table changed their expressions.A young man with a white fur jade crown on the left side of Dongfang Yu is looking at her with raised eyebrows.The other person is Duan Ximei, but it's a pity that He Xiuyun's attention is no longer on Duan Ximei at this moment, and he has never noticed his dark complexion for a moment.

The young man in Chinese clothes said with a smile: "Just now, the owner of Dongfang Villa called him 'Lord He'. Could it be Miss Wangyue Tower He Xiuyun He?"

Nodding his head, He Xiuyun said, "Your Excellency is the Hall Master of Huasplashleihua?"

The two of them had never seen each other before, and now they only looked at the appearance and the surrounding situation, telling each other's name in one word, both of them were very sure.

The young man in Chinese clothes smiled and stood up, and gave He Xiuyun a deep bow: "I have been famous for many years, and I just saw you today. I have seen Miss He when I climbed the stairs downstairs." Fu smiled again, "Xie Hall Master planned to come to congratulate the old man in person today. Shou, I didn't expect to be delayed by something in the building, so I was asked to come here first, so as not to delay the old man's birthday banquet."

Hearing the unfinished meaning in his words, He Xiuyun was half expectant and half doubtful: "You mean Mr. Xie will come here later? But he has always valued the errands in the building..."

"It's not a big deal, the delay won't be too long." Hua Splash looked at her beautiful face, and suddenly said with a narrow smile, "If Hall Master Xie finds out that Miss is here, I'm afraid Chia Wing will come here in a hurry."

He Xiuyun's face flushed.

The conversation between the two surprised the people around them.It was just because everyone had more or less contempt for this beautiful girl in their hearts before, and they felt that her status was not worthy of the stage.And this young hero of Splashing Tears, although he is young, is already the backbone of the world's number one climber. Xie Yu, the only son of the landlord Xie Yin, is in charge of the Qianshan Hall and the Sunset Hall. He is an important figure in the younger generation of Jianghu figure.Such a person does not salute a girl who is "unworthy of identity" as soon as they meet, and when the two of them mentioned "Teacher Xie", it seems that the real connection with this girl is Xie Yu, the master of Qianshan Hall , How can this not surprise everyone?

As if understanding everyone's thoughts, Hua Splash suddenly smiled at He Xiuyun and said, "Thank you for the relationship between the two families. Although you and I met for the first time, Hua did not treat Miss as an outsider. But just now, Hua greeted Miss. , but not because of the honorable status of the lady, it is all thanks to the host who is both daring and courageous, donating righteousness and donating money. Don't worry?"

"That's right." Dongfang Yu also saluted He Xiuyun with a smile, "Last year, there was a drought in Yongzhou and locust disasters, and Huanyang City also suffered a catastrophe. The second rice shop distributed food and porridge, and even invited famous doctors in the world to eliminate an epidemic invisible. If not, why would today's birthday banquet be here? This time, the host was invited to come, and my father once said, the two The landlord has a urge, and my Dongfang family dares not to follow."

Dongfang Miao Nianshu nodded, and was talking about the day's events with the heads of the four sects.The rest of the people were dumbfounded, and there were endless discussions in low voices.Only the face of the person involved remained unchanged, with a graceful smile and elegant demeanor—in fact, since he came here, except for the mention of the word "Xie Gongzi", He Xiuyun had never changed his face for any gaze or speech: "Master Huatang I have had too much reputation with the owner of Dongfang Zhuang. My brother and I were originally businessmen, and we have always only pursued profit, not fame. Although there is a kind heart in doing these many things, it is not denied that it is a long-term plan for Wangyue Tower for me. Think about it." Blinking her eyes, a mischievous smile suddenly appeared on her face, "The two of you have said so many good things for me in front of all the heroes today. I think Yuelou will make a lot of money in the future, so I would like to thank you two seat."

The gangsters in the hall were a little embarrassed when they knew her before and after. Seeing that she neither takes credit for it nor is she humbled. Frank and hearty, very cute.

"What is the relationship between the Hexie family? What is the relationship between you and Xie Yu?" Suddenly, I heard a voice next to me asking, the voice was cold.He Xiuyun turned around in a daze, and saw that the person who asked the question was Duan Ximei, and his face was very ugly.

He Xiuyun didn't think about it for a while, and said casually: "The Xie and He families are family friends. As for Mr. Xie and I... we have known each other since we were young."

Duan Xiemei gave a cold look: "Is he the person you are looking for on this trip?"

A rare embarrassment appeared on He Xiuyun's face, and he nodded with blushing cheeks.

Without further words, a very short sneer came out from the throat of the man for a long time, and he almost gritted his teeth and squeezed out two words: "...very good."

He Xiuyun was busy dealing with the crowd, and his attention was no longer on him.

Hua Splash noticed that his appearance was weird, but he was used to He Xiuyun's various deeds without any details, and he frowned slightly when he thought this was another friend she "picked up on the roadside" without leaving any trace, and then talked and laughed with everyone again. place.

It was noon, and the people from the Nangong family and Qianqiumen hadn't come yet. After waiting for a while, Dongfang Yu couldn't make the guests in the hall wait together, so she also ordered the banquet to start.

During the banquet, the guests and the host had a good time.

He Xiuyun knew that Duan Xiemei was awkward, and would serve him dishes from time to time. When she turned around, something flashed in front of her eyes. Gray hair? I didn't notice it before."

Dongfang Yu was taken aback when she heard the words, then looked down at her own hair color, then also froze.

It is possible to grow a single gray hair all of a sudden, but how can a cluster of gray hairs be born?

When the people around saw this situation, they unanimously lowered their heads to look at their own hair, looked up in shock for a moment, and looked at each other in amazement.

He Xiuyun also stared blankly at the strand of white hair beside his cheek.

Suddenly there was a sigh from the side.

He Xiuyun turned his head away.Mr. Duan was provoking the dishes she had arranged for him just now, eating them slowly, just like he had eaten candied fruit before, and he was very happy to enjoy them.His hair was as dirty and messy as his whole body, but it was as black as a dense cloud.

Ignoring her gaze, Duan Ximei ate a few more chopsticks, and then sighed softly: "Everyone is human, why do you have to make it difficult for those who are inferior to you? I came in as a guest, so I should be more polite. But I have to be injured and bleed..."

He stood up slowly, his eyes swept over the stunned people in the hall one by one, and finally settled on the master here, tilting his head: "I have always been stingy, and since you have made me hurt and bleed, I will repay you." , give you a cup of poisoned wine."

After he finished speaking, seven people in the hall moved at the same time, and they were the seven people sitting at the same table with him at the moment: Dongfang Miao, Dongfang Yu, Murong Cheng, Long Teng, Duan Tianxing, Fang Chou, and Hua Splashing Lei.

With weapons in hand, the seven of them rushed towards Duan Ximei swiftly and swiftly.

Duan Ximei is faster.

He is still drinking.

However, his body suddenly rose several feet from the ground, barely avoiding the greeting of seven weapons.

The seven of them failed in one move, and they changed their moves in an instant.Hua Splash opened the folding fan in his hand, and a thin needle like a cow's hair came out, whizzing towards Duan Ximei.

Duan Ximei is still in the air.

With a sigh, he spilled the remaining half of the wine in the glass.The wine turned into tens of thousands of dots in an instant, and spread to the entire hall, reflecting the sunlight refracted in from the window, the dots twinkled, which should have been a beautiful scene, but at this moment it became a reminder, splashing on the heads of the people in the hall, as if they were about to die. The ox hair needles that covered Duan Ximei's whole body were even sharper.

Man Duan took a sip of wine unhurriedly.The wine mist greets the needle.

There was a series of tinkling sounds, and after avoiding the water drops, everyone stared at it, and saw a whole pile of needles scattered on the ground, all of them were broken, and none of them contaminated Duan Ximei.

What they thought was right, the wine mist and wine beads were indeed sharper than a ox hair needle.They were hiding rightly, if someone just refused to move, what was sticking to their bodies at this moment would not be wine beads, but blood holes.

But what really attracts people is not the murderous weapon of alcohol.

It's the martial arts internal force of a man named Duan Ximei.

how old is heCan there be twenty?

He blew the wine mist into steel needles in one breath, how deep is his inner strength?

Those present no longer dared to be confident that the Dongfang Seven would be able to win Duan Ximei in one fell swoop and resolve this incident.Those who had just been spared from being poisoned and dared not act presumptuously held weapons in their hands at this moment.A cold light suddenly appeared in the hall, making people afraid to stare at it.

Dongfang Miao's seven people really can't win Duan Ximei.

Because he is fast, he is too fast.

The next moment, he suddenly sat next to He Xiuyun again, as if he had never moved, while Dongfang Miao and the others were still two tables away.Holding He Xiuyun's neck bone with one hand, and holding a glass of new wine with the other, Duan Daoran sniffed the wine, "Your internal strength is good, at least you shouldn't be restricted by me in every move."

What he said was to He Xiuyun.

She is in his palm right now.

He pinches her bones, and knows how deep she is.

She is the only person who has remained in her seat since the people in the hall learned of the poisoning.

Not a single drop of the wine mist fell on her just now.

Only because of this, the talent with the surname Duan Mingxiumei is even more terrifying.

After a moment of silence, He Xiuyun said: "I saw the situation where everyone started to fight, and I don't want to intensify the poison before the situation is clear."

What she said was the truth, and it was a reminder.

At this moment in this hall, only Duan Ximei has black hair like a waterfall, only her has only a strand of white hair on her temples, and the rest of the people have gray hair on their temples, Dongfang Miao and Huashuilei are more eye-catching, as straight as a dark night Among them, the sky is full of stars.

No matter how shocked and angry everyone was, at this moment finally no one dared to act presumptuously.

Duan Xixiu took a sip of wine and sighed: "I owe you the kindness of wrapping my knees, and I wanted to spare your life, but I didn't know that you... were born like this."

He Xiuyun stared at him with clear eyes: "What changed your mind?"

Duan Ximei said warmly: "What is your relationship with Xie Yu?"

In just a short time, this was the second time he asked this question.

When he asked for the first time, He Xiuyun casually ignored him.This time when I asked, his attitude was better than the first time, and his voice was more gentle than the first time.But everyone had no doubt that if He Xiuyun said a wrong word, that slender neck would die in an instant.

Hua Splash's expression changed slightly, and he took two steps forward calmly.

Duan He and the two turned a blind eye.

Looking at Duan Ximei for a while, He Xiuyun said in a soft voice: "My family is engaged to me since childhood because of Mr. Xie. We are a fiancé couple."

These words are like thunder on the ground in an ordinary time, but at this time, how can everyone have the energy to pay attention?

Duan Ximei blinked, and suddenly laughed softly: "This is really... great." While speaking, he slowly withdrew the hand that was placed between her neck bones.

It wasn't until the killing intent was exhausted that Hua Splash let out a sigh of relief, cupped his fists at He Xiuyun and said, "Miss is calm, her demeanor is heart-wrenching."

He Xiuyun looked at his white hair at the sideburns, but his expression was calm, neither frightened nor frightened, and even with a trace of caring for her, he smiled at him: "The master of Huatang puts others before himself, and I admire you so much." .”

Hua Splash turned to Duan Ximei and said, "Dare to ask Your Excellency, the poison in our bodies is 'wrapping the blue silk'?"

As soon as these words came out, even Dongfang Miao and Murong Cheng, who were trying their best to be calm, couldn't help but change their expressions. Dongfang Yu even stepped forward in shock, and blurted out: "Tuan Qingsi?!"

"Don't you see, Gaotang Mingjing's sad white hair is like blue silk in the morning and snow in the evening." Duan Ximei said with a smile, "I want to teach you all that the poison in your body is 'circling blue silk'. This poison is called a hundred poisons. King, ten thousand gold is hard to come by. In order to let everyone enjoy life well, I will use up the amount saved by the poison sage in the past, and I feel that I have the audacity to throw ten thousand gold, what do you think?"

Holding the wine glass in his hand, he smiled calmly and talked freely.He was thin and thin, his face was like the bottom of a pot, and his clothes were in tatters.His demeanor is calm and calm, but he is no longer the little beggar who was bullied by others, and it seems that the terrifying person who fought with hundreds of people just now has nothing to do with him.

Dongfang Yu's face turned livid: "Who is your Excellency? What kind of enmity do you have with my Dongfang family? Even if you really have an enmity with my Dongfang family, and it was directed at me, why did you plant such a poisonous poison on my father's birthday banquet? Everyone here is here because of the invitation of my Dongfang family, so it doesn't matter if something happens to my family, but I dare not implicate others!"

Duan Ximei smiled and said: "I have never had any grudges with your family, and naturally I have no grudges with everyone in this hall. The reason why I poisoned your house was entrusted by others. As for who I am," he suddenly After a pause, he looked like he was good-natured and ready to answer questions, "My surname is Duan, and my business is to take people's money and eliminate disasters for others. If there is anything special, it is probably because others saw me. , I often like to chant two lines of sour chirping, "Those who are in ecstasy, the only thing is to be different", have you heard of it?"

Dongfang Yu's originally livid face immediately turned pale.
