Taiping Inn

Speaking of this, even Gu Yusheng couldn't say anything more. He could only change the topic and ask a few people to climb the tower.

Because the banquet was set on the ninth floor, the four of them had to climb the stairs outside the building. The stairs were narrow, so they could only let the two walk side by side. Li Xuan intentionally or unintentionally walked a few steps behind, allowing Lu Yanbing and Gu Yusheng to walk in front. And he and Qin Su walked behind.

Since the two of them had enough tacit understanding, they often had eye contact when there were outsiders. At this time, Gu Yusheng was in front of them, and it was difficult for them to speak, so Li Xuan kept looking at Qin Su, and Qin Su saw him. He looked proud, as if he was asking her how she answered the answer just now, so he blinked, meaning that Li Xuan was starting to brag proudly again.

Li Xuan didn't care and blinked. Although Qin Su didn't guess the whole meaning, he probably understood that Li Xuan was talking about her blushing and being clumsy. Qin Su was both angry and funny. I couldn't help but spat. Gu Yusheng and Lu Yanbing in front of him looked at him slightly. Lu Yanbing saw the story. She didn't dare to laugh at Li Xuandu, so she kept whispering to Qin Su. Qin Su hurriedly corrected her face and pretended to be reserved, but her face was still slightly red and her eyes were vague. , I dare not go to see Li Xuandu again.

Gu Yusheng smiled and said, "The relationship between the Fourth Uncle and Junior Sister Qin is very good."

Li Xuandu said calmly: "Sister-in-law should know that the eldest and second brothers and the 'Tian Dao' are all in love."

Although Gu Yusheng was talking to Li Xuandu, the light from the corner of his eyes turned to Qin Su and said, "In this way, it is still a family friend. No wonder the second uncle strongly recommended the fourth uncle to be the head of Ren Tianwei Hall, and he has it. This relationship will be easy to open up the Beihai trade route at that time.”

Li Xuan couldn't help but be stunned. He really didn't know that the second senior brother recommended him to be the head of Ren Tianwei Hall, and then immediately realized that Gu Yusheng's words were very provocative at this time, which clearly meant that he was trying to Butian Sect. He deliberately made friends with Qin Su. Even if Qin Su didn't believe it, he would inevitably have a grudge in his heart. He might not be able to do anything to Li Xuan, but he was very disgusting. With such a scheming, you can imagine what she will do.

After understanding this, Li Xuan couldn't help looking at Qin Su, but Qin Su shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't care. He even took the initiative to hold Li Xuandu's palm and gently pinched his palm.

Li Xuan was very calm and said, "The second senior brother has never mentioned this to me. Maybe the second senior brother and the old sect leader have any other considerations. I can't speculate on it."

Gu Yusheng chuckled and turned his head away.

While talking, the four of them came to the top floor. At this time, the building was prepared properly, but it was not a common round table. Instead, they imitated the ancient etiquette and implemented the food separately. Each person and a few people were kneeling and sitting. There were maids holding white jade on both sides of the table. Pour wine in a wine pot, hold ivory long chopsticks to serve vegetables, there are musicians playing music on both sides of the banquet, and dancers dancing in the middle to help you enjoy the fun.

After all, it is a thousand years of inheritance. Not to mention Guanhai Tower itself, this arrangement has already become the style of bells and tripods of the royal family. These maids obviously spent a lot of effort, with wide robes and big sleeves, and pearls and jade on their heads. Like a lady from Jiangnan, if she poured wine and served dishes, she gently lifted her sleeves with one hand, as if she added fragrance to the red sleeves, she was indescribable. If she didn't say it, who would think that they were just maids, and would probably be regarded as ladies of ordinary wealthy families.

Gu Yusheng took the initiative and said, "I would like to take the seat of the fourth uncle."

Li Xuandu asked humbly: "The third sister-in-law is the leader, so she should be the attendant."

Gu Yusheng said, "I am a woman, how can I sit at the seat?"

Li Xuandu waved his hand and said, "Third Sister-in-law is such a bad word. My Qingwei Sect has always treated men and women equally. He neither respects men nor exaggerates women. Now, the Third Sister-in-law is in charge of the affairs of the sect on behalf of the sect leader, so she should be Attendance."

Gu Yusheng looked at Li Xuandu deeply and said, "Since the Fourth Uncle said that, as half of the master, I am more respectful than obedient."

Li Xuan made a "please" move with a smile.

Gu Yusheng walked towards the upper position gracefully.

Li Xuandu and Li Ruyi sat on the left hand side. Qin Su, as a guest, sat opposite Li Xuandu, and Lu Yanbing sat in Qin Su's lower head.

As the host and the guest took their seats, the music started to play, and the colorful dancer began to dance.

As for the dishes, there are a wide variety of dishes, and the names are called, but they cannot be called, such as walking on the mountain, swimming in the water, flying in the sky, and all kinds of exquisite thoughts are available.

Li Xuandu picked up a pair of ivory chopsticks, looked at the jade wine glass next to him, and said, "It's such a big show."

Gu Yusheng said, "We must not be careless when welcoming Mr. Fourth."

Li Xuan smiled and said, "What kind of virtue is Li Xuan? I dare not take it like this."

"How can I not behave? No matter what, Uncle Fourth has made contributions to Qingweizong." Gu Yusheng pinched the wine glass with three fingers with his right hand, and slightly stretched out his wide cuffs with his left hand, gently pressed the base of the wine glass with his middle finger tips, and said softly. : "I wish you a cup to Uncle Fourth."

Li Xuan did not refuse, raised the wine glass in his hand, and after celebrating Gu Yusheng from afar, they each drank it all in one go.

After putting down the wine glass, Gu Yusheng wiped the wine stains that did not exist on the corner of his lower lip with a handkerchief and said softly: "When it comes to serious business, the fourth uncle and the sixth uncle have a fight on the Wangxiantai. I wonder what chance of winning the fourth uncle has?"

Li Xuandu said calmly: "Sixth Junior Brother is a genius. In terms of aptitude, neither I nor Third Senior Brother can compare to him. I heard Bingyan say that he has been deliberately suppressing his realm in the past few years. Last time on Danxia Peak, he was only slightly defeated. This time he should be able to reach a higher level. On the other hand, since I fell into the realm in the second year of Tianbao, my spirit has been exhausted. I have wasted four years and cannot compare to Sixth Junior Brother. I am afraid that I will lose more than I win in this fight."

Gu Yusheng smiled and said: "Fourth Uncle is really too modest."

Li Xuandu smiled and did not answer.

A banquet lasted until late at night. At the banquet, Gu Yusheng made witty remarks, and the atmosphere did not seem cold. After the banquet, she arranged rooms for Li Xuandu and Qin Su on the seventh floor of Guanhai Tower.

Coming down from the ninth floor and going up to the seventh floor, Lu Yanbing smiled and said, "I'll borrow Susu for a while," and then took Qin Su, whose face was slightly red, to another room.

Li Xuandu came to his room alone. Someone had already lit the lamp for him in advance. More than a dozen candles illuminated the entire room. The room was covered with precious lichens, and the inner and outer halls were separated by a three-fold screen with pine and cranes painted on the screen.

The inner room was a bedroom with a bed curtain and a cloud couch. On the couch was a small table with nineteen vertical and horizontal chess boxes made of sandalwood and chess pieces carved from black and white jade.

Outside were the study and living room. There were many treasure lattices in the outer hall near the door, where all kinds of ingenious items and precious antiques were placed. There was a copper gilt self-ringing clock that had traveled across the ocean, and a large blue and white bowl from the Jun kiln, which was said to be "a piece of Jun porcelain is worse than a fortune." It was all-encompassing. In the inner hall near the window, there is a sandalwood couch and a horizontal desk with a top of Dalbergia odorifera. On the desk is an elegant guqin, and on the couch is a delicate small table. On the table is a tea bowl with the best Qingming rain tea.

In addition, there is a red sandalwood desk, on which are placed pens, ink, paper, inkstone, pen holder, paperweight, pen tank and various kinds of Qingsu. The pen is purple, the paper is rice paper, the inkstone is reed inkstone, and the ink is signed by a famous artist. A piece of ink costs three hundred taels of silver, which is dazzling.

Li Xuandu took a rough look and gently stroked the desk of the desk. Just for this room, at least five thousand Taiping money is required. How much is a sea-viewing tower?

Li Xuandu pushed the window and looked out. Under the bright moon at night, the vast sea can be seen, and there is even a faint moist breath in the wind. Then he took out a booklet from the "Eighteenth Floor", which was what he started writing in Xianjian Villa, but it was not yet complete. He spread the booklet on the table, poured some water into the inkstone, and began to grind ink.

He wanted to tell the old man what he saw, thought, and felt to the great swordsman who was at the top of the Qingwei Sect, so he put these words into writing, and then handed it to the old man in person when he met him.

As for how much effect these heartfelt words would have, Li Xuandu himself was not sure.

Do your best and leave it to fate.
