Ye Xiaotian originally thought that the treacherous person Zhan Ning 'er spoke of would definitely look like a rat, but unexpectedly, the one who walked out from the forest was actually a mature, handsome, confident, extremely charismatic middle-aged man. His figure was tall, face like jade, eyes like bright stars, cultured and refined, that was the type of male charisma that moved young girls the most.
Standing together with this kind of mature and full of masculine charisma, a young and delicate looking youth like Ye Xiaotian was like a star standing beside the sun, immediately having all of its brilliance snatched away.
Even so, it just made one unable to feel the slightest bit of resistance or disgust, one would feel that a person like him, should be snatching away everyone's brilliance the moment he appeared. Only, Zhan Ning 'er didn't seem to be a normal woman, seeing this kind of handsome man who would make young girls go crazy for him, not only did she not have the slightest bit of infatuation, she instead revealed clear hostility and disgust.
That handsome man slowly walked over towards them, his gait extremely calm. Ye Xiaotian noticed that he only wore a light jade-colored shirt, the patterns on the collar of the shirt were so faint that if one didn't look closely, one wouldn't be able to see it. But it was precisely this kind of plain colored shirt, when worn on his body, that made his entire body radiate a kind of beautiful jade-like luster.
His clothes were spotless, his hair combed into a neat bun, that pair of boots on his feet, even the white edges of the boots weren't tainted by a single speck of dust. People often described pure, pure, and peerlessly beautiful women as jade figures, this man who was already past his middle age, could actually give people this kind of feeling.
Zhan Ning 'er raised her chin, saying with a cold smile, "See, I said you were hiding your head and showing your tail, your bad habit really hasn't changed at all. Since you said you wanted Elder Gögwo to pass the message for you, you yourself just had to follow, hiding at the side sneakily."
The middle-aged handsome man laughed loudly, saying, "Miss Zhan, you've misunderstood. When I asked Elder Gögwo to pass the message, I didn't know that this little brother was your friend. When I found out about this, in order to express my respect for Miss Zhan, didn't I personally rush over? "
Ye Xiaotian looked at this charming middle-aged man and thought to himself, "He is Guizhou Four Heavenly Kings' Yang Tian Wang? I wonder what this Chieftain Yang's name is. I am very clear about the officials in the capital, but I really don't know much about the local emperors of Guizhou. "
The middle-aged man who was called Yang Tian Wang said to Gögwo with a smile, "Thank you for your trouble, Elder Gögwo."
Gegwo cupped his hands and said, "You're too polite, Chieftain. Since you've come personally, I'll take my leave."
Gegwo nodded at the middle-aged man and walked into the village. The middle-aged man turned to Ye Xiaotian and said, "Brother Ye, don't misunderstand. I have no ill intentions towards you. It's just that the Venerable doesn't meet outsiders for the past few years. He doesn't even have many opportunities to meet the eight elders around him.
Ever since I came to the Gu God Palace, I've only met him once. I didn't expect that little brother would actually receive the Venerable's favor. I'm curious, and because it's boring in the mountains, I have nothing to do, so I invited you to meet. I heard that you're Miss Zhan's friend, that's great. Miss Zhan, why don't I be the host and invite the two of you to a banquet? "
Zhan Ning 'er said stiffly, "If I go just because you ask me to, then I'll lose face. I don't want to go to your place."
Yang Tian Wang didn't mind and smiled, "Alright, then I'll give you enough face. Let's do it here."
Yang Tian Wang pointed towards the hillside and said, "Sitting on the ground under the sky, facing the lake, listening to the waves and drinking wine, isn't that great?"
Zhan Ning 'er frowned and said, "I didn't tell cousin when I came out. If I go back late, I'm afraid cousin will be anxious …"
Ye Xiaotian observed her expression and thought to himself, "Don't be fooled by how fierce Miss Zhan looks towards him. I'm afraid she's just taking advantage of her identity as a girl. She knows that even if she throws a tantrum, she won't really offend him. But when it comes to making him lose face, she's still very apprehensive.
Isn't the An, Song, Tian, and Yang chieftain kings of the four great families? The number one, Si Family. Her grandfather is the chieftain king, so why should she be afraid of others? It looks like ranking is one thing, but strength is another. Although this chieftain Yang is ranked last among the four heavenly kings, his strength might not be the same. At the very least, since the Tian family was tricked by Emperor Taizu at the founding of the country and then beaten up by Emperor Chengzu, they still haven't recovered. The Tian family's golden throne of third place has long been shaken. "
Ye Xiaotian didn't know much about the chieftains of Guizhou. Normally speaking, with his identity, even if he settled in Guizhou, he wouldn't have any contact with these important figures for eight lifetimes, so there was no need for him to ask about them. He only gradually learned about the experiences of the Tian family after he came to Tongren.
But Ye Xiaotian observed their expressions and guessed that they weren't far from the truth. The Yang family, which was ranked last among the four great families of An, Song, Tian, and Yang, had already become the true chieftain king. It was just that everyone was used to calling the four great families of An, Song, Tian, and Yang based on their strength. This wasn't a sword duel on Mount Hua where they had to rearrange the rankings from time to time.
Yang Tian Wang nodded with a smile. "Hehe, Annam Tien? Alright, then I'll ask Miss Zhan to inform your brother. If he's free, there's no harm in inviting him along. I'll go prepare first. I'll be waiting for you on the mountain in the time it takes for three incense sticks to burn. "
After Yang Tian Wang finished speaking, he cupped his hands at the two of them and left with a smile.
Ye Xiaotian said, "Who's this person? He looks very impressive."
Zhan Ning 'er said, "He's the chieftain of Bozhou, called Yang Yinglong. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, his ancestor Yang Duan defeated Nanzhao and took control of Bozhou. Since then, no matter how the country changed, the Yang family has taken control of Bozhou. It's been more than six hundred years since then. Yang Yinglong inherited his father's position in the fifth year of Longqing. He's only been in power for nine years, and the Yang family's power has increased greatly. This person is very impressive. "
Ye Xiaotian agreed. "I think so too. Yang Yinglong is a dragon among men! This person has power, wealth, and looks. But Miss Ning 'er, you seem to hate him a lot? "
Zhan Ning 'er glared at him fiercely. "Why, can't I hate him?"
Ye Xiaotian hurriedly said, "You can, of course you can. It's just that … I really can't find anything to hate about this Yang Tian Wang."
Zhan Ning 'er sneered. "That's because you don't understand his inhumane hobbies."
Ye Xiaotian said, "What hobbies does this person have?"
Zhan Ning 'er said in disdain, "This person … this person is lustful …"
Ye Xiaotian said, "Oh … if a man isn't lustful, how can he be a man? If he isn't lustful, he doesn't have the ability to be lustful. This Yang Tian Wang has a high position of power and dominates an area. In addition to that, he has a handsome and elegant appearance. It's understandable that he likes women. "
Zhan Ning 'er's face was slightly red. She seemed to be a little bashful. "You don't understand! He … it's fine if he's just lustful. It's just that he's a good wife. Moreover, he's extremely bold. As long as he takes a fancy to a woman, no matter what her identity is, he will think of ways to get her. He's really … really shameless … "
Ye Xiaotian said, "So he has the same problem as Cao Cao."
Zhan Ning 'er said, "Yes! He's exactly the same as the white-faced Cao Cao! "
Ye Xiaotian said, "Ah … Ah …"
Zhan Ning 'er stared at him and said, "What are you' ah 'about? You're very envious of him, aren't you? "
Ye Xiaotian said innocently, "I'm not. I just think it's unbelievable that he doesn't want a virgin and only wants a wife. Sigh, these powerful people are probably less interested in the things that are easier to get. For example, your cousin …"
Zhan Ning 'er slapped the hilt of her knife. Ye Xiaotian immediately stopped talking and whispered, "I'm not lying. Why are you so fierce?"
Zhan Ning 'er pulled out her knife and pointed it at Ye Xiaotian. She scolded, "Have I ever been fierce to you?"
Ye Xiaotian was speechless.
At this time, Mao Wenzhi, who had already walked to the two of them but had been completely ignored because they had been bickering, coughed and said politely, "Excuse me, can I say something?"
Ye Xiaotian looked at him strangely and said, "You've always been noisy. When did you become so obedient?"
Mao Wenzhi said with a bitter face, "I can't not be obedient. Miao women are fierce!"
Zhan Ning 'er was speechless.
Ye Xiaotian thought to himself, this guy is touching my sore spot. If this girl is angry, I'll be the unlucky one. So he quickly changed the topic and said, "What do you want to say?"
Mao Wenzhi then remembered the matter at hand. He slapped the back of his head and said, "Look up the mountain."
Ye Xiaotian and Zhan Ning 'er turned their heads to look at the mountain. Unbeknownst to them, there were suddenly many slaves dressed in embroidered robes. The place was overgrown with weeds, and there were a few small trees scattered in the middle. The slaves took out their sharp sabers and chopped at the small trees. In just a moment, the small trees were cut down, and the green grass was even, making it look like a bright green carpet.
Afterwards, sixteen bare-chested strong men carried bundles of luxurious and exquisite camel hair carpets bought from the Western Regions at a high price, and laid them flat on the green grass. Then, some men stuck iron poles around the carpets and began to erect skylights and flower racks. Then, they wrapped silk and damask around the poles to form a curtain wall.
As soon as the curtain wall was formed, many slaves dressed in brightly colored clothes appeared. They carried all kinds of furniture, bedding, long tables, low stools, as well as gold and silver utensils. One by one, they walked into the curtain wall. There were also many young girls dressed in colourful clothes. Some were holding pipa, some were holding flute. They gracefully walked out from the forest like a group of beautiful fairies.
That place was the place where Yang Yinglong pointed to and invited the two of them to a banquet. That place was originally overgrown with weeds. But in just a short while, this plain and ordinary grassland had turned into a palace. Slaves served them wholeheartedly. Beautiful women were pleasing to the eye. The faint sound of stringed instruments could be heard. It was a magnificent sight.
Yang Yinglong's casual pointing actually had the miraculous effect of turning stone into gold. Ye Xiaotian could not help but exclaim, "A real man should be like this!"
Zhan Ning 'er looked at Ye Xiaotian and said, "You can replace him."
Pleasantly surprised, Ye Xiaotian asked, "Can I do it?"
Zhan Ning 'er gave him a flying kick. She snapped, "Do it my ass! Do you think you are Xiang Yu? "
