It is not a fact that everyone knows that Dongshan is still young.

Just as the West Lake is still white, the southern forest is still white, the northern desert is still cyanotic, and the east mountain has always been green. When Qingqing saw Ziqin for the first time more than ten years ago, the words that flashed in his mind were also "green robe jade"

"Li". Linghu's disciples all wear green robes, and they only wear green robes when they go out with their master or seniors. As a result, Qingqing has always been accustomed to blue clothes. Even when he is a guest in heaven, he wears green robes under his black robes.

Inside, remind yourself to never forget where you came from.

The descendants of Li Rong live in seclusion in the world, and are rarely seen in the rivers and lakes. Now that Dongshan has been reduced to ashes and wild soil, there are even fewer people who have seen Linghu's disciples standing in green clothes. Xuan Ming reminded her loudly, saying that this "Emperor"

The name of the fish is "herring". Did you really say it to yourself?

As soon as the waiter brought it up, Qingqing couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and peel off a whole piece of fish skin. He looked over and over, but there seemed to be nothing wrong. Then he stabbed the chopsticks into the belly of the fish and pulled out the large piece of fish skin.

The fish meat was cut in half. But until the whole plate of fish was cut into pieces, Qingqing still didn't find out what was hidden in the fish body.

"The general has something to say to the young hero." What does what the general wants to say have to do with this herring?

While thinking hard, Qingqing saw only one person in front of him, peeling off the skeleton of the fish, and then a waiter came forward and took it away on a tray. Only then did Qingqing realize that the spines on the body of this herring were very similar to those of ordinary fish.

It's different. If we talk about grass carp and crucian carp, the spines are often broken and can easily get stuck in the throat. The spines of this herring are neatly arranged, and there is no loss of order in the dense distribution. They can be sorted by just picking them up with chopsticks.

Block removed.

Compared with choking in the throat, this herring has become a rare feature of West Lake, and it is even more elusive for ordinary people.

Could it be that there was something wrong with the fish bones? Qingqing took two chopsticks in his hands and only tried to taste them, but then he scratched around the fish bones little by little. After a while, he heard a "click" sound on the tips of the chopsticks.

I encountered something unusual.

Taking a closer look, it turned out to be a thin strip of cloth wrapped around the thin thorns next to the fish bones.

The strip of cloth was thin and colorless, hidden among the fish flesh. It was difficult to detect if you were not careful. The thorns on the fish bones were so densely packed that ordinary people would not squint and look at them one by one. Qing Qing looked around.

, seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he quickly took off the cloth strip from the fish bone and put it into his sleeve.

By chance, the waiter approached at this time. When Qing Qing raised his head, he saw that it was indeed the person who had sent the message to Qiu'er before: "If the young knight has obtained the fish meat, then I will take away the thorns and bones first."

This "fish meat" is not that "fish meat". Listening to the meaning of his words, Qingqing nodded.

It wasn't until the waiter had gone away that Qingqing put his hand into his sleeve and unfolded the strip of cloth in his hand. Then he made a show of drinking tea, covered his face with the other sleeve, and blurred the cloth between his two fingers.

He looked at the words above blankly:

Five people at home with red lanterns hanging on the left side of Southwest Road on October 17th

Two people in the dark bow of the east pier on October 18th

On October 19th, Xixiao Mansion in Shen Lane welcomed a guest, a total of twenty-three people.

October 20, Alone in Xima Mansion, Deep Alley

…

Qingqing couldn't remember the next few lines, and was afraid that drinking tea with her neck tilted up for too long would arouse the suspicion of the surrounding guests, so she had no choice but to put down the cup and stuff the cloth into her sleeve again. Qingqing heard her heart pounding.

It goes on and on - although there are delicacies from the mountains and seas on the table, I have no appetite for anything now. The words on it are almost exactly the same as what I knew when I took the job at Tiankeju -

I'm afraid General Wei has already been listed as a guest that day.

From August 15th to now, more than two months have passed. Qingqing did not expect that it would take so long to complete the roster. But thinking carefully, General Wei may not have just received the news today and yesterday. Or maybe, he had already received the news. With the roster in hand, it's not too late to start planning and making arrangements slowly.

Qingqing subconsciously looked to Shen Xuanming's side, and happened to catch General Shen's gaze. From Xuanming's slightly nervous look, Qingqing could tell that Xuanming clearly knew About this roster. And I'm still worried about whether Qingqing got the cloth strips in the fish or not.

Qingqing nodded silently, then lowered his head, picked up something unknown and put it in his mouth. Xuan Ming smiled in his heart, knowing that Qingqing got the news from the herring, he no longer worried. Then he turned to Qiu'er, With a smile in his eyes:

"Xuan Ming can't spend time with me these days. Madam, thank you for your hard work."

Qiu'er blushed and lowered her head: "My husband is busy outside, and my wife is just waiting for this little man to come to her side as soon as possible, so that her husband will not worry about her all the time."

"What are you talking about?" Xuan Ming gently held Qiu'er's shoulders, "Even if this child doesn't come, Xuan Ming still thinks about it day and night. He only hopes to come back as soon as possible to see his wife, so that we can stay with him every day and never be separated."

Maybe it was because he drank a little wine that Qiu'er suddenly heard Xuan Ming say many emotional words, and felt shy and happy at the same time. But she was pregnant and couldn't drink, so she just looked at Xuan Ming's shining eyes. With both eyes, he picked up the tea cup:

"Take tea instead of wine for your wife and give her husband a cup."

Xuan Ming was also full of love, and was about to raise a glass to drink together. Suddenly, he heard quick footsteps outside the door, and he didn't know who came suddenly. A waiter who ran quickly came to Xuan Ming's side and whispered something in a low voice. What? Xuan Ming frowned and waved his hand: "Please come in."

While everyone was puzzled, they heard a loud announcement at the door: "The disciples of Tiankeju and his party are here to present a gift to the general!"

It was Mr. Ruo who sent someone here! This voice caused the guests here to talk about it. They didn't know whether it was Ruo Dong's intention or Xuan Ming's deliberate method. Qing Qing was even more frightened and hurriedly covered his face with his sleeves for fear of someone coming. Recognize himself hiding in the general's mansion.

I saw a group of five people, wearing black robes and swords, striding in.

The leader among them is An Ge. An Shaoxia seems to have completely recovered from his injuries. Now when he walks, his eyebrows have a heroic spirit. Qingqing listens to her steps and feels that the steps are very steady, and she must have better internal strength. In the past, only the sleeve on the left side was fluttering and did not move with the body, attracting the attention of the guests.

Ren Siyuan followed him, and there were three more people. Qingqing had only met them a few times and knew that they were Mr. Ruo's close disciples, but he didn't know their names. However, the expressions of these people were not arrogant. He was not submissive, he just strode in and bowed politely in all directions in the hall.

Everyone did not dare to neglect and stood up to express their thanks.

In front of everyone, An Ge rolled up his sleeves in the direction of Xuan Ming in greeting, and said in a deep voice: "I heard that today is General Shen's Beginning of Winter family banquet, and we are inviting guests from all over the world. I'll prepare some small gifts and come to join in the fun with the general. I hope the general won't mind."

"My words are serious, young hero." Xuan Ming also stood up and returned the greeting with a smile, "There is a great leader coming to Tiankeju, which makes the place of the general shine brightly. Is there any reason to care? Young hero Haihan, please forgive me for your neglect. You are a very talented person. Come, please invite some young heroes to take a seat!"

The maids who had been there for a long time now came forward after hearing the words and led the five people from Tiankeju to their seats. But halfway through the banquet, the front row seats were fully occupied. Whether intentionally or not, the waiters lowered their heads and said nothing.

, brought five uninvited guests to the backmost corner of the hall.

No matter where the disciples of Tiankeju go, they are all distinguished guests of the West Lake. How can they condescend to sit in this corner and feel depressed? Seeing that one of the disciples had a dull expression and was about to get angry, An Ge grabbed his sleeve and beat him hard.

He sat down on the seat in front of him. The others also sat down while looking at each other, their eyes neither humble nor arrogant, and they didn't say a word.

A few snickers came from the seats in front. Everyone thought that the arrogant Tian Keju had now fallen into this situation.

Qing Qing was the only one, so nervous that her palms kept sweating. Previously, she was sitting here alone, with no one around her, so it was very quiet, so as not to attract people's attention. But now, five people are here today, what a coincidence.

Di also sat in this corner, like an encircling force, instantly forcing himself into the corner.

Being at such a close distance without being recognized is probably more difficult than reaching the sky!

Qingqing quietly raised her head and wanted to glare at Shen Xuanming, but he was turning his head to talk to other people and did not notice her side. Qingqing did not dare to turn her head, so she simply buried her head in front of her.

In the midst of the big fish and big meat, his mind was thinking of countermeasures quickly.

If he stood up and left the table at this moment, he would definitely attract the attention of the people around him. Maybe, as soon as the sword was unsheathed, he would fall into a pool of blood before he said a word.

Just when Linghu Qingqing was at a loss what to do, he looked up and saw that the waiter who had previously delivered a message to himself and Mrs. Shen was busy in the banquet. That person was not far in front of him. As long as he raised his head, he could look at her. Qing Qing

Qing saw the opportunity and saw that he happened to be looking in his direction. He quickly winked and saw that the waiter came running with small steps.

"Young hero, this plate is full. I'll give you a new one."

Seeing that the direction he was standing in happened to block the sight of Ange and others, Qingqing finally breathed a sigh of relief, pointed in the direction of the five people, and frowned slightly: "It's cold today, there is a cold wind blowing, please excuse me.

Close the window."

"Okay." The waiter bowed, and before Qingqing could say anything else, he immediately turned and left. Qingqing couldn't help but feel a little frightened, fearing that the man didn't understand her gesture, or responded with the wrong meaning, and made a mistake.

. But regretting it now is useless. Seeing the bumpy steps getting further and further away from her, Qingqing hurriedly buried her head in the food again, for fear of catching the eyes of those five people.

I don't know if it was an illusion or something, but Qingqing only heard one of them say: "It's really cold in this weather."

Before Qing Qing could think of any solution, he saw a row of maids each carrying soup and food, placing them on the guests' tables one by one. When they arrived in front of Qing Qing, the maid's feet slipped, her body tilted, and she just heard "Ah

"With a scream, the soup bowl was taken off her hand, and all the soup was poured on Qingqing. Before Qingqing could recover from the warm topping soup, the woman turned around and got up, and immediately covered her with a snow-white handkerchief.

Covering Qingqing’s face——

"My maid was careless and burned the young hero!"

Hearing the sound, everyone at the banquet turned their heads one after another, wondering what was happening here. They saw a large bowl of thick soup spilled on the ground, and a maid was hurriedly wiping the guest's face. She just said:

The young girl slipped her foot for a moment and didn't pay much attention.

Qingqing took advantage of the situation, lowered her head, shook off her clothes, and pretended to be touched by the hot soup.

Qiu'er only saw that the maid was still young, so it was not a big deal to be careless and anxious. Besides, she was also a common girl. When she worked as a maid for a wealthy family in the mansion, she was often criticized, but she still needed the care of those kind masters. Now she will Seeing the maid's panicked behavior, Qiu'er inevitably felt a sense of sympathy for each other in times of need, so she smiled at the guests and said:

"It's just that the soup was spilled. Let's wait until the young hero comes back from changing clothes so that the kitchen can cook more. Don't worry, just treat yourself to a banquet."

After that, he took the rare opportunity to replace wine with tea and offered a toast to the guests shyly. Seeing that the host was in good shape, the guests were even more embarrassed to offend the host, so they turned around one after another, raised their glasses high, and drank a sip. Madam's wine. Xuan Ming was still a little worried just now, fearing that Qiu'er would accidentally reveal Qing Qing's name in front of everyone. However, seeing that Qiu'er showed no abnormality and didn't mention a word, she couldn't help but smile and felt relieved.
