Since ancient times, the same door has been out of Xipi

Chapter No.17: Banquet at Kangningzhuang

The city lord and deputy city lord of Xuyang City were also invited by Tianjizi to attend the banquet called "Inviting the World's Heroes to Gather" in Kangning Village, which was actually a banquet for the two owners of Kangning Village to recruit husbands.

Although Gu Bai and Tianjizi have only known each other for two or three years, Tianjizi knows that this person is unfathomable, and he neither acts of alienation nor has the intention of getting close.

In the eyes of visitors, Gu Bai is an important official of the imperial court, a teacher of the emperor's relatives, and a famous Confucian scholar all over the world.

Although Ye Lingyun is a royal family, the blood of the former royal family is flowing on his body.When today's son was on a whim and assigned him to Xuyang City as the city lord, no one could predict the emperor's thoughts, and it was difficult to guarantee that he could always carry the title of "Prince".

Therefore, they didn't pay too much attention to the presence of the two of them.

On the contrary, Duan Tong Qingxiao, who represents Qianlong Jianzong, is more able to attract the attention of people in the world.

As the protagonist of the banquet, Kang Ningwei and Kang Ningtao did not recruit relatives voluntarily, so they did not deliberately dress up.

Kang Ning Weiwei sat at the main table, with a sullen face, not interested in the coming and going of the heroes of the rivers and lakes.

Kang Ningtao still complied with Tianjizi's request, looking in all directions, with a serious look of picking people, but actually changing the angle every once in a while to let go.

Kang Ningjing picked up the chopsticks but his hands shook, feeling an ominous premonition inexplicably.

Everyone in the Jianghu knows that the four owners of Kangning Village are called the Four Masters of Kangning, and three of them are at the main table. The only one who is not there is often the one everyone wants to see the most.

Kang Ningling was not willing to attend, but Tianjizi couldn't resist his stubbornness, so he couldn't do anything about it. He could only say, "You are still like this until now. I am very disappointed in you as a teacher." He did not use the so-called aggressive method, but finally ignored Whether Kang Ningling is still indulging in the grief of the past, said this sentence.

"Ah Jing, you dropped your chopsticks." Kang Ningwei glanced at Kang Ningjing sideways, her eyes indicating that he should not lose his grace in front of so many Jianghu people.

Although Kang Ningwei has no sincerity in the invitation banquet, but as the owner of Kang Ningzhuang and the head of the Four Great Kang Ning, this face and reputation must not be lost.

When Kang Ningtao heard the chopsticks "snap" to the ground, he came back from the empty state, winked at the two servants who were waiting on the side, and one of them immediately bent down to pick up a chopstick that Kang Ningjing had dropped, and He took the other one from Kang Ningjing's hand respectfully, and the other person had already taken out a pair and handed it to Kang Ningjing respectfully. That respectful attitude was totally different from usual, which made Kang Ningjing hesitate whether to accept the chopsticks or not.

Perhaps it was because of Zhuo Fengfeng's letter that Duan Tongqingxiao was not allowed to sit at the main table because of the good-natured Tianjizi.

Tianjizi originally wanted to use this move to continue killing Qianlong Jianzong's prestige, but he didn't know that this arrangement was in line with Duan Tong Qingxiao's wishes.

The two should not be angry, but secretly happy.

Duan Tongqingxiao's table was full of people, and it seemed that they only came for dinner. From the time the first dish was served to the last dish was put away, no one at this table got up and walked around, sitting opposite each other at the main table. The two female proprietors of Kang Ning Zhuang even didn't even look at it, and just ate with sullen heads.

Duan Tong didn't understand why Qing Xiao had suddenly become estranged from him so much since the morning, but he thought about the ups and downs with Qing Xiao in his dream last night.

Even if he is concerned about a man, even if the person he yearns for is a fellow apprentice, but even in his dream, he has such unbearable thoughts, Duan Tong himself feels ashamed of Qing Xiao, and resists the urge to ask the truth.

It is human nature to be in love, and Duan Tong Qingxiao's appearance can be regarded as another kind of mutual affection.

Kang Ningling watched the water in the clepsydra drop little by little in the room, thinking about whether to be a good person and add fuel to the flames. After all, Kang Ningling could not be exempted from the responsibility for causing the awkward situation of the two.

But this is the candidate for the assist, Kang Ningling quickly searched in his mind several times, and helplessly supported his forehead.

There doesn't seem to be a suitable candidate.

If the hairball is still there, this matter will be much easier.

"Knock, knock..." Kang Ningling's door was knocked three times. The knocking sound was not regular, but it was more like some kind of code.

Kang Ningling didn't open the door, walked to the window a few steps, and opened the window slightly.

A thin piece of paper was pushed through the gap into the room.

Kang Ningling quickly scanned the content on the tissue paper from beginning to end, and his expression was not good-looking.

"Keep looking for Tan Jue, and when you find him, see if he's with a boy named Kang Ningmeng." Kang Ningling rolled the tissue paper into a barrel shape and stretched it out onto the burning lampstand in the room.

Tongues of fire devoured the thin paper, and its contents rose from ashes.

Kang Ningling is also a human being, and he sometimes miscalculates, but he often miscalculates when he least wants to miscalculate.

Now he has no time to take care of Duan Tong Qingxiao.

Kang Ningling hated seeing the charred ashes on the lampstand, and even more hated being close to the flames, but he couldn't stop himself from getting closer to the warm flames.

The bright flames shone on Kang Ningling's pitch-black mask, as if it could melt the coldness of the mask.

When the banquet was about to end, Kang Ningling stepped out of the room and met a person who was bound to meet.

"Gu deputy city lord." Kang Ningling and Gu Bai met a few years ago.

Seeing Kang Ningling slightly surprised, Gu Bo said embarrassedly, "I wanted to go out of the village, but I lost my way."

One of the characteristics of Kangning Village is its complex structure. If outsiders enter the village for the first time, they will basically not be able to find their way out of the village.

Kang Ningling looked at Gu Bai, and said, "I heard that your house was on fire, and Ling was still worried about whether you were okay. Now it seems that it is indeed auspicious people with their own destiny."

In fact, Gu Bai now looks a little haggard, with a faint depression between his brows, but Gu Bai himself is afraid that he doesn't want to know why he is sad.

Gu Bai lowered his eyes and pondered, "It's not God's blessing, but thanks to a righteous dog for saving us." There was a soft light in his eyes, making it difficult to tell the truth from the false.He raised his head slowly and said, "I heard from Lingyun that this is a dog from Guizhuang."

Kang Ningling didn't know what it was like to hear Gu Bai's sad and heavy tone. He raised his hand and didn't want Gu Bai to continue talking. He just asked, "What else does it leave?"

Gu Bo was silent, and it took him a long time to reply, "The fire is too big, and there are no bones left."

Kang Ningling turned his head away at this moment, seemingly unwilling to accept the news, his eyes were cold.

He didn't understand why Maoqiu was so obsessed with Gu Bai. Not to mention that Gu Bai was in his thirties, and his appearance was not very good. He could only say that his facial features were tougher.

Kang Ning Ling Qiang made up his mind to agree with Gu Bai, and after watching Gu Bai leave, he went back to his room and slammed the door hard.

He rarely does this kind of thing to vent.

The sound of the door slamming startled the birds perched on the tree, and the empty branches were still trembling up and down.

Duan Tong silently jumped from the hidden tree to the farthest roof, glanced at Kang Ningling's residence, and then returned to the guest room of Kang Ningzhuang as if nothing had happened.

The author has something to say:

Dong Sheng: I want Tong Xiao to be together (*?▽｀*)
