In the hall, the lights were brightly lit, singing and dancing, and making noise. Meng Shuai did not go forward, but just walked around the back and came to the corridor behind the flower hall. The servants and servants were waiting here, and when the officials called out, they came inside to serve.

Several of the men sat on the only chairs and looked higher. At this time, they saw Meng Shuai coming in carefully with the food box, and they all looked happy.

One of the big men said, "Hurry, hurry up, let's put down the things, everyone is hungry." Although he was excited, he did not dare to speak loudly, obviously caring about the guests in the hall.

Meng Shuai had known that the servant he replaced was very low, and he was not a gift to the nobles in the hall. It was just a few of the servants who were well-known because they were hungry here, so he asked him to go to the kitchen to call the midnight snack.

Meng Shuai walked forward, opened the food box, took out two plates of rice and a plate of salted fish.

A big man cursed: "The stingy people in the cook will give us these cold leftovers and give them all the oil and water. I will go and clean them up."

The big man next to him said, "Old Tie, you can do it. Even if you give you a fat chicken and a big duck, can you eat it? You're all over your face and water. When you turn back, the master will call you and you'll be blind." As he said that, he took the fire with his hands and grabbed the trash first and grabbed it into the fire.

The old iron cursed: "Good guy, you are the most thief, you actually robbed this first." He also went to catch fish at the moment. How could other big men not rob? They started robbing each other and made a mess for a while.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, a maid wearing gold and silver came down from the front and said, "A few people come..." As soon as he said this, he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the chaos here.

The big men were scrambling to catch up. Suddenly, they were all stunned when they faced the maid. They had not put down the hot fish and meat in their hands, but their mouths were open and they couldn't say a word. Even half of the food almost fell out of their mouths.

The maid opened her eyes wide and said with her hips, "Tie Si, Liu Er, what's going on?"

Tie Si hurriedly threw down the fire, wiped his hands around his clothes, and said with a smirk: "Sister Mei, brothers... brothers are a little hungry..."

The maid said in the intercepting words: "Bastard, is this your place to go wild? As expected, I am used to being wild in the houses in the capital. If no one controls me, I don't know how to serve my master? You are still as virtuous as the men of the General's Mansion? I went back to the Second Manager and sent you all to the village to be a hardworking laborer."

She is more than half younger than these big men, but she is like three grandsons, and no one dares to say anything, and she obviously has a good status.

After scolding a few words, the maid said, "I have something to do now, I will deal with you. You, you, you—" She pointed a few people with her fingers, all of whom are young and have a poor status, and are not qualified to participate in the meat grabbing just now, and said, "Come with me, no one else is allowed to move, and wait for the disposal."

Unfortunately, Meng Shuai was among the people she ordered.

Although a little surprised, Meng Shuai thought it was pretty good, so he could just go into the hall. The hall was the most crowded and bustling place. The servants who served were not sure there were dozens or hundreds of people, and it was safest to mix among them. Moreover, the guests in the hall were all from outside, and they must have been strangers and did not know each other. Meng Shuai was not abrupt in it, and he could change his identity by finding an opportunity.

But the maid did not take them into the hall, but went down from the corridor and walked all the way to the depths of the courtyard.

Meng Shuaiquan didn't know what she meant, and was not inconvenient to ask, so he had to follow the others with his head down. Then he heard a servant next to him say, "Sister Mei, aren't we... going to the arsenal?"

Sister Na Mei raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh, you know a lot, and you also know that we are heading to the arsenal. It is true. The two distinguished guests in the hall happened to have two newly promoted young guests, and they wanted to fight swords in front of the table to cheer them up. However, those who came to the banquet today were not allowed to bring weapons except the guards guarding outside. Therefore, the general ordered them to go to the arsenal to choose some good swords."

As he was speaking, he had already arrived outside the arsenal. Sister Na Mei showed Tang Xu's token and said, "It's just a sword fighting between ordinary disciples. It's enough to open the first floor."

When the door opened, everyone felt a chill that was blowing at the face, and a sense of solemnity rose from the bottom of their hearts. Sister Mei led a few people into it, but saw that the swords, guns, swords and halberds were arranged neatly in the room, and all were polished with shiny tiles and a chilling atmosphere.

After several years of training, Meng Shuai was quite knowledgeable. After watching some casually, he knew that these swords were just ordinary weapons, only better than the standard weapons in the army. He could not sell a lot of money when he went out. However, he was well maintained. It seemed that he had a dedicated person to maintain it.

He thought to himself: I heard from the maid that he only opened the first floor, and I think the real magic weapon is at the back layers. But from the outside, this arsenal only has one layer.

Thinking of this, he exerted a little force under his feet and made an "empty" sound. He immediately knew that under his heart - the floor was empty, and I think the second and third arsenals should be below.

The maid came in, pointed at it casually, and said, "Did you see the sword rack over there? Then take it from the first row to the eighth row and take one from each row. You will go and take it. Do you know how to get it?" She made an action like holding a baby and said, "Hold the scabbard with one hand and the hilt with the other. Hold it like this. Please carefully, if you hit it a little, you will have your head."

When Meng Shuai saw the position she mentioned, he knew that the maid was very good at practicing. From the first row to the eighth row, one in each row, taking one in each row, taking into account the size, length, softness and hardness of this kind, and outsiders have a lot of room for choice. However, the posture of holding the sword was too careful, which was a technique that could be used to get the extremely valuable magical sword. For these swords in the hall, the most cost-effective thing is not worth making a big deal.

Those servants did not have these insights. They were originally of relatively low status. They grabbed them temporarily and heard the maid so serious, and they couldn't help but feel scared. The hand holding the sword was trembling. They grabbed the one closest to them and lined up.

Meng Shuai picked up a casual hand, which was the most standard three-foot long sword. He swallowed the shark's skin green sheath, and looked quite extraordinary, but at most it was a green steel sword.

The maid led the servants out and said, "You remember it. After I go in, I will stand by me, so you will stand by me and not move around. The guest wants to choose a sword, and he will go forward to choose it. Don't say a word. Be honest with me, whoever does extra work is to ignore the head."

After repeated threats, she brought a group of servants into the lobby.

I saw the candle shining brightly in the lobby, and the heat was steaming. A stream of burning incense mixed with the smell of wine came to my face. There were several banquets in the hall, one of which was the main seat and the guest of honor, and three seats on the other sides. Each seat was two or three people, and there were a total of more than ten distinguished guests, divided into six gangs. The guest of honor sat on the table, with another guard and servant standing behind the table. In addition, there were originally maids and servants in the hall to serve him, so the number was quite large.

A large area was empty in the center, and the two boys stood beside each other. Because they had no swords, their posture was relatively relaxed.

Meng Shuai only glanced at it, wondering in his heart, and thought to himself: Why don’t he look like he’s going to fight?"

The maid was also stunned, but when she saw that there was no one in the main seat and Tang Xu was missing. Only the Tang family’s young master stood there, she couldn’t help feeling at a loss. The Tang family’s young master saw her coming and nodded, “Meixin, there was a distinguished guest just now. My father went out to welcome the guests. There is no hurry to compete in the sword. You can stand aside first.”

The maid then realized and said, "Yes." She led the servants to the corner.

Meng Shuai's heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself: Who else can there be a distinguished guest who appeared at this moment? Wang Hesheng came to the door. I don't know how it will end in the end.

Even though he knew that something had happened outside that affected his destiny, Meng Shuai could not touch it at all, and it was useless to be anxious. He calmed down and thought to himself: Instead of being in a panic, it would be better to check the situation now so as not to be at a loss in the future.

But seeing that there was only one person in the seat of the guest of honor, a young man wearing a white jade crown, with red lips and white teeth, and very handsome. Meng Shuai glanced at the jade belt around his waist and said to himself: This is the royal standard. This kid is a prince. He looks good and can catch up with the former King Zhao.

Looking further down, Meng Shuai gasped in the first seat of the left leader. But when he saw a man sitting upright at the table, he was in his thirties, vigorous, bright and extraordinary.

It's Jiang Qi.

Meng Shuai didn't know whether it was joy or sorrow, so he thought to himself: Okay, the boss has arrived, this is a coincidence. It was a banquet for the Tang family, and the specifications were very high.

Jiang Qi is naturally on his side, and it can also be used as a way to escape if necessary, but Jiang Tingfang does not allow him to make trouble and contact Jiang Qi more often. If he wants to get on Jiang Qi's line this time, one is to plan to destroy it, which will cause some trouble in the future. Secondly, wouldn't he seem incompetent?

If it were not forbidden, he really didn't want to take this step.

He didn't recognize the other distinguished guests below, but seeing that these people are all extraordinary and can compete with Jiang Qi, they are mostly other military governors or their representatives. Especially the tall woman with handsome eyes and eyebrows who could sit opposite Jiang Qi, could it be Ma Yunfei, the governor of Yizhou who is as famous as Jiang Tingfang and Tang Xu?

Tang Xu had such a great courage and courage. He dared to invite all these people at once. It seems that the emperor has not done this yet?

What does he mean?

Meng Shuai thought for a moment and shook his head - this was nothing to do with him. Then he looked at the two teenagers in the middle.

The two teenagers were dressed up in a strong outfit and dressed up in the martial arts family, but they could not hide their handsomeness. One was seventeen or eighteen years old, and the other was only fifteen or sixteen years old. Both were young, with passion and pride at the corners of their eyebrows and eyes.
