Chung Geng Sheng had invited many guests to his banquet, but not many of them were important enough.
This was because he had just sent Jung Genzun to Jixia Academy, and those who did not pay attention might not have heard of it immediately. And among those who knew, after learning that his next opponent was Wang Yiwu, they might not have confidence in Chung Geng Sheng.
Li Longchuan and Xu Xiangqian had both arrived. Apart from them, only Gao Zhe from the Calm Sea Gao Clan and Yan Fu from the Beijun Yan family had come.
Gao Zhe and Gao Jing, who had died in the Heaven Manor Mystic Realm, were cousins. Gao Zhe's uncle was the Red-Tail Prefectural Governor, Gao Shaoling. He had the typical appearance of a member of the Calm Sea Gao Clan, with a tall figure, a wide nose, and wide eyes. He wondered how Noble Consort Jing managed to be so beautiful.
And in the eyes of those who were observant, Yan Fu actually had a greater background. He was the grandson of the previous Prime Minister, Yan Ping.
Although Yan Ping had been the Prime Minister for many years, he still had a certain amount of influence on the current political situation. As long as this old man did not close his eyes, no one dared to look down on the Yan family. Yan Fu's appearance was relatively gentle and calm, and he did not seem to be very aggressive. As for his nature, one could not judge without a deep relationship.
As for the others, there was nothing much to say.
The future scions of the other elite clans of Linzi City were either not in the same circle or, like the Bao clan, were already at odds with the Junggenjia.
Of course, these people coming to the banquet did not mean that they were completely on Chung Geng Sheng's side. It was just that after Chung Geng Sheng displayed his abilities, the outcome of the battle between him and Jung Genzun was once again uncertain.
Most of the people didn't want to offend Zhong Xuan Zun, nor did they want to offend Zhong Xuan Sheng.
For Chung Geng Sheng, returning to Linzi for two days would allow him to turn the situation around and achieve his goal.
Although it could not be said to be perfect, this banquet was still enjoyable for both the host and the guest.
…
"Let's exchange cups of wine to rest, and I'll take my leave as a guest."
In the past, Gongsun Ye wrote about Lin Zi.
How many years have passed, yet it has never lost its luster.
From the first rays of the sun until the darkness of the night.
The guests either left or stayed the night.
When the last guest went to rest, Chung Geng Sheng, who had been "fooling around" in the House of Red Sleeves all day and night, suddenly sat up.
The beauty who had used her jade-like legs as a pillow was startled.
"Let's go," he shouted.
Imitating her, Jiang Wang also rested his head on her beautiful legs. In fact, his mind was immersed in the Five Prefectures Sea. He immediately opened his eyes and stood up. He wasn't drunk at all, nor was he reluctant to leave.
They left the House of Red Sleeves.
Xu Fang was a famous arrogant scholar.
He was most famous for scolding the Jubao Merchants during a banquet. Trampling on the reputation of this giant Chamber of Commerce.
For a long time, the "smell of money" was tied to the Jubao Merchants.
Many people imitated him. When they saw the Jubao Merchants, they deliberately covered their noses to show that it was too smelly. This made the merchants in the Treasure Gathering Chamber of Commerce unable to raise their heads.
At that time, the president of the Jubao Merchants, Su She, laughed it off. Other than saying, "Bustling with activity, come for money, go for money!", he didn't make any counterattack.
Regarding this incident, there was actually a follow-up, but it wasn't that famous. Or rather, it was consciously covered up.
Many people only knew that Xu Fang was a fanatic and unruly. They knew that he had humiliated the Jubao Merchants, but they didn't know the price he paid for it. They only knew that he suddenly disappeared. Other than when the "smell of money" was mentioned again, he never appeared in the aristocratic circle of Lin Zi again.
Until now, not many people still remembered that the "smell of money" was once used to refer to the Jubao Merchants.
…
Lin Zi was the most majestic city in the world. It was the pride of the people of Qi, the city of glory.
Almost all of the top aristocratic families in Qi had some business here. It could be said that more than half of the high-ranking aristocrats in Qi lived in this city. In addition, there were hostages from various countries, traveling merchants, scholars, and traversers …
Lin Zi accepted all of this in a very tolerant manner, forming a unique temperament.
However, this city wasn't always glorious.
Yuli Fang was undoubtedly one of the poorest places in Lin Zi.
"It is said that a long time ago, this was a place where fishermen gathered. However, as time passed, the rumors slowly changed to the current Yu surname. However, there aren't many people with the surname Yu in this area. "Chung Geng Sheng was also the guide and introduced this place to Jiang Wang.
Both of them had disguised themselves. In order to hide their tracks, they didn't bring any attendants. However, with Chung Geng Sheng's size, he was too conspicuous in this poor area.
Jiang Wang was wrapped in a black robe. When he heard this, he said in surprise, "Isn't Linhai County very far from here? How do fishermen live? "
There were only three counties in Qi that were close to the sea. Jinghai County was one of them. However, it didn't have much coastline. Most of the coastline was in Linhai County.
"Who knows?" Chung Geng Sheng shook his head. "Perhaps Lin Zi wasn't so far from the sea in the past."
Perhaps … Lin Zi was close to the sea a long time ago.
Time had changed, and the history was waiting to be unearthed. However, these two weren't people who were too curious about irrelevant things.
Perhaps the people here were originally surnamed Yu. The so-called "Fishing District" that Chung Geng Sheng spent so much effort to unearth was probably just a rumor.
They didn't mention the possibility that there might have been fishermen living in the Zi River. Since the founding of the Kingdom of Qi, fishing in the Zi River had been forbidden. This was a prohibition written in the laws of the Qi Kingdom.
It was very late at night.
Every night was exclusive to the rich. Most of the poor went to bed at sunset. Because of hunger, cold, illness, and all kinds of other reasons, the long night was very difficult to endure.
However, in Yuli Fang, there were some eyes on the side of the road.
To be precise, the places on the side of the road were the "homes" of those people.
Subconsciously avoiding the dirty water on the ground, Zhongxuan Sheng turned a blind eye to those faint gazes.
Without the support of strength, no matter how evil they were, they were just a joke.
Although most of these eyes were filled with the purest evil, no one took any action.
In their humble days, they had developed the instinct to live. The two men in black who dared to come to Yuli Fang in the middle of the night were not to be trifled with.
Just like the rats in the sewer, their first reaction was to hide when they saw people. They had their own unique perception of danger.
The feeling of stepping on dirty water with boots was not very comfortable. Jiang Wang didn't resist walking on air.
However …
"I thought Qi Du didn't have these places," Jiang Wang said.
"There are many opportunities in Lin Zi, but not everyone is willing to open their eyes, be willing to walk over, and be willing to seize them. If it's just pure relief, emptying the national treasury won't be enough. "
"Those small countries have fewer places like this," Chung Geng Sheng replied faintly, "because these people have been eaten by ferocious beasts a long time ago."
Jiang Wang was silent for a while, then asked, "Will Xu Fang live here?"
Resources were limited. Chung Geng Sheng didn't need to say this again.
However, no matter what, Xu Fang was still an extraordinary cultivator. No matter what, he shouldn't have fallen to such a place.
Chung Geng Sheng stated without emotion, "His Taoist heart is broken! His Heavenly Cycle and Heavenly Palace collapsed. "
Of course, the famous scholar Xu Fang wouldn't live in such a place. He wouldn't even pass by.
However, it was reasonable for a disabled person to live here.
It was a cruel statement.
