Chapter 19
The venue for the dinner was selected at Wangjiang Tower in Bada Hutong.
The banquet was quite lively and did not diminish slightly due to the bloody and solemn afternoon. After all, this was not a celebration banquet, but essentially a diplomatic banquet.
Since the banquet was held early in the morning, no matter how reluctant the British representatives were, they had to come over with their noses. In addition to Dorobel, the representatives of the court did not expect that Li Zhongtang had also come.
Ning Xiu came very early, and the banquet had not yet begun, and the lobby seemed quite lively.
Someone led Ning Xiu to his position. Although he was the champion of the exchange competition, his status and status naturally could not sit at the main table. Except for an official who was not aware of his level, the rest were all famous people in the martial arts world.
Seeing Ning Xiu, the junior, besides saying congratulations and saying that he would win glory for the country, he would inevitably give some "suggestions" from the height of his seniors. Ning Xiu responded with a smile.
"......The magic gun Sha Zilong used a gun to overturn the entire northern border, and a famous master produced a master. When I saw it today, it was really worthy of its reputation. Killing Luo Hu, the evil deed today is really relieved."
"It's just that China-foreign exchanges are important. Today you have taken too much action against the Western boxing champion, and it's always a bit inappropriate..."
......
Among the martial arts celebrities in the whole table, there were two people talking the most. One was in Xingyi as Mr. Sun Sanyuan. In terms of seniority, his junior brother Wei Junzi, and the other seemed to be practicing tiger cranes, called Zhen Xiaoren.
During this period, Wei Junzi basically played the role of blushing, and was enthusiastic about Ning Xiu, and he acted like an elder caring for the younger generation. Zhen Xiaoren always directly raised some questions about Ning Xiu, believing that Ning Xiu's actions were completely unfavorable to the long-term development of Chinese martial arts.
"It is understandable that young people are young and energetic. Brother Zhen, don't be too demanding. Although Brother Ning is good at kung fu, he is only in his twenties after all, and he still needs to be trained in many things. This way, you will always help when you come to Chinese martial arts from tomorrow. I just don't have a place under my command."
The moment the words were finished, his black eyes were rolling, and everyone on the table looked at Ning Xiu and Wei Junzi, paying attention to their expressions. You should know that after Sun Sanyuan died, a group of old people in the Chinese Martial Arts Association had an agreement. Whoever avenged this revenge would be the next president. Moreover, before the competition, the Chinese Martial Arts Association had sent someone to inform Ning Xiu.
Wei Junzi looked straight at Ning Xiu, his lips pursed slightly, waiting for Ning Xiu's rebuttal, but saw Ning Xiu smile and bowed: "What Mr. Wei said is that I can't go to martial arts anymore."
Suddenly the atmosphere on the field began to become subtle.
Not everyone agreed with Wei Junzi's actions, Ning Xiu's reaction became in the eyes of some people, and he was oppressed and could not do so.
This is not the situation Wei Junzi wants to see, so he wants to keep Ning Xiu by his side. At that time, he will focus on cultivating him, and even be his successor to the president. Only in this way can he block Youyou's mouth.
He didn't expect Ning Xiu to be so "experienced" and to retreat to advance.
Wei Junzi was about to speak something when he suddenly heard footsteps sounding, and a woman came over, but she was not a servant from the restaurant.
The woman was very beautiful. The martial artists looked at the woman in a daze. Wei Junzi recognized her identity. This was the pillar of Xiangyi Garden, the four major Qingyi in Sijiu City, and the girls Li Qingyi. Seeing Li Qingyi coming, she didn't know the purpose of coming, so she couldn't speak for a while.
I saw that Li Qingyi did not stay and left straight away.
This was expected in everyone's eyes. After all, how can a famous and glorious figure in the Liyuan Garden be related to these martial artists?
Wei Junzi re-cooked his emotions and waited to speak again, but he saw Ning Xiu suddenly laughing and stood up and said, "Seniors talk first. I just drank too much, so I lost my companion first."
Looking at Ning Xiu's leaving figure and the harsh gazes of his fellow practitioners, Wei Junzi felt that he was blocking his chest and almost vomiting blood.
After leaving the table, Ning Xiu met Li Qingyi in the corridor in the distance.
"The restaurant owner and I are old friends, and I have put your things in the agreed place."
Ning Xiu nodded slightly, his expression remained unchanged, and he spoke, "Have you made a decision?"
There was no answer, and what was left to Ning Xiu was a decisive back.
......
After washing your hands, come out.
Ning Xiu noticed a sound of footsteps running from behind, and then he found that his shoulder was hit.
Wangjiang Tower is the largest restaurant in Sijiu City, and the corridor is as spacious as ordinary small shops. Generally speaking, such things will never happen unless the other side is in a hurry, or they are deliberately doing it.
"Dorobelle wants to be unfavorable to the young hero, so the Lord of the Central Hall asked the villain to notify the young hero to leave immediately."
Ning Xiu frowned slightly, raised his head, looked at the figure that was leaving hurriedly, wiped away the water stains in his hands, and turned around and walked towards the lobby.
Hongmen Banquet?
That's the best.
A tiger hurts people's wishes, and a tiger's heart is also a tiger's heart
Since it is a banquet, how can there be no reason not to go?
When Ning Xiu returned to his position, he found that someone was waiting here, saying that several adults at the main table wanted to know him, the champion of the communication competition.
Ning Xiu followed the guard calmly to the main table in the center of the lobby, and then he saw the Lord Li Zhongtang in history.
The old man's expression was not at all strange, just as if he was not the one who asked his subordinates to inform Ning Xiu just now.
After his physical fitness was enhanced, his ear strength also improved a lot. Just now, he heard some broken sentences vaguely when he passed by the corridor.
“…I’m sure you want to do it?”
“…This is the best opportunity…”
"...But what should we do after that? You have to know..."
"My master has raised us for so many years, just for this moment. Don't worry, my master has arranged a way out. After finishing it, he will leave the city overnight..."
what is going on?
Although Ning Xiu is now a rising star in the martial arts world, he knows that his identity will never make a viscount of the Qing Dynasty Baylor and the British Empire so afraid.
And he estimated that the incident yesterday should be the time to break out now. There were more than one pedestrian who saw him heading to the one-eyed dog farm.
Since I did not hear the complete conversation, I was unable to outline the whole story for a while.
The hall is still lively.
The girl invited from Si Lefang was performing on the stage, while Li Qingyi played the pipa solo on the main stage, with the sound of orchestral silk and bamboo.
Li Qingyi's eyebrows are swept lightly today, without applying any makeup, so beautiful that she does not have the slightest scent of fireworks.
Ning Xiu glanced at it and frowned slightly. He always felt that Li Qingyi's face was a little pale today, as if she was sick, but this morbid beauty made her more charming.
In the restaurant, almost all the men's eyes were staring at her, and even those ghosts were no exception.
As long as her eyes turn, not to mention a man with a strong spirit, or any status or status, as long as a man is straight, if there is still someone who doesn't look at her, the person will definitely be drunk and unconscious.
The light shone slanted over, just on her face.
Ning Xiu's eyes fell on her face at the same time as the light. At this moment, he saw a hint of coldness, but the coldness passed in a flash, as if it had never appeared before.
