They don't have any acquaintances in Jianghu, of course, not because they are afraid of being recognized, but because they are afraid of being remembered and found in turn.

Chen Zhu didn't know the truth, but happily praised Gu Jingyun, "You are really thoughtful, Chunxi, let's go."

Chen Zhu dragged Li Baolu to buy makeup, booked a room at a nearby inn and went in to do makeup.

Everyone in the rivers and lakes knows how to make up, and only distinguishes what they are good at and what they are not good at. Chen Zhu often uses his senior sisters to practice at home, but it is the first time that he has actually used it in practice.

But she was very confident in her skills, and she volunteered to Li Baolu, "Chunxi, let me help you."

"No, I put on makeup very quickly. I'll help Qing and brother put on makeup first, and you put on your own first." Li Baolu and Gu Jingyun didn't use their own names, but reported their names.

Seeing that she had skillfully selected makeup items, Chen Zhu also held her own and put them aside for makeup.

Li Baolu helped Gu Jingyun smear something on his face, neck and hands, and asked in a low voice, "Why do you want to go?"

"The opportunity is rare, there is nothing wrong with going to see it." Gu Jingyun said with a light smile: "And don't you want to see their faces?"

The expression on Bai Yitang's face after he never showed up.

Li Baolu felt like a cat's paws were scratching in her heart, she put on her make-up with a sullen face, turning him from a handsome young man into a simple black boy.

In fact, she just darkened his face and made his cheeks rounder and fuller. In addition, Gu Jingyun deliberately changed his temperament when he saw the new image in the bronze mirror, making him a completely different person.

Then Li Baolu smeared things on her body. She dressed herself up in the direction of her age, made her face yellower, raised her eyebrows, and slightly trimmed the shape of her face. Put on a little rouge, sip it slightly and cut it away, and the childish and round girl in the bronze mirror has turned into a charming young woman.

After Chen Zhuhua was finished, she turned her head to look for Li Baolu excitedly, she was frightened at once, she said in surprise: "Chunxi, why did you become ugly?"

"It's safer that way."

Chen Zhu sized her up for a long time, then turned to look at Gu Jingyun, and sighed: "You know how to put on makeup, if I didn't know the truth, I would never have thought that it was you when I met you."

Obviously they didn't smear much on their bodies, but their whole bodies changed. She asked in amazement: "You are so amazing, who taught you this?"

"My master." Bai Yitang is a thief, and dressing up is a compulsory course, so even if Li Baolu doesn't learn very well, she is far better than other people in the arena.

After putting on makeup, the three of them rented a carriage and went to Zhengjiabao.

Zheng's Fort is outside the city. His family's fort covers a lot of cultivated land, and many tenants live in the fort. There are servants patrolling the fort at ordinary times, just like a great country gentleman in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

It is said that Sun Zhifu expressed dissatisfaction with this, and warned Zheng Jiabao not to build weapons privately. Although he did not explicitly say that he would deal with the demolition of the wall, his attitude was obvious. He did not like such a military-oriented castle under his rule.

Now the gate of the castle is wide open, and there are two long tables on both sides of the road in front of the gate, extending for about fifty meters, and they are filled with food for the villagers to take.

Zheng Jiabao said that there will be ten days of running water banquets. During these ten days, these two long cases will always exist. Everyone will take as much as they eat.

The road in the middle was vacated for the horses and carriages that came to pay birthday respects. Li Baolu sat on the carriage and opened the curtains to look out. On the long table, there were pots of steamed buns, all made of white flour, and vegetables in pots. It's as big as a washbasin, and there are both meat and vegetables, and in the meat dishes, you can see large slices of pork belly.

Gu Jingyun also saw it. He glanced at the mighty villagers who came here with bowls, and the corner of his mouth was slightly raised, looking very happy.

Chen Zhu only took one look, then looked away, sticking out her tongue and said in a low voice, "These dishes don't look delicious, and Zheng Jiabao is too stingy."

Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu looked at each other, but smiled and said nothing, mean?

Chen Zhu is the young lady who doesn't know the sufferings of the world.

When they got out of the car at the gate, Chen Zhu was nervous, but passed the invitation calmly.

At this time, there were quite a few people from the Jianghu who came on horseback or on foot, and everyone lined up to hand over the invitation to the steward at the door.

Zheng Jiabao distributed invitations widely this time, even Zheng Hao himself did not know how many people he had invited, so it was impossible to recognize all the invitations and people one by one, the steward only glanced at the invitations to confirm that the invitations were genuine He let people in respectfully.

The fake invitation that Chen Zhu bought was so realistic that the steward unfolded it and respectfully invited people in.

Chen Zhu took the invitation and stuffed it into his sleeve, heaved a sigh of relief, and winked at Li Baolu after entering the door.

The inside of the fort is completely different from the outside of the fort. The outside of the fort is just two extended tables, but the inside of the fort is a large open space filled with round tables.

Li Baolu and others followed the flow of people for a quarter of an hour before arriving at the open space. She stomped her feet, looked at the land on the ground, and knew that the dry land was filled up, and it was as big as two football fields. The tables are full, and the black ones are full of human heads.

There was also a table at the front, with a dozen or so round tables on it, which should be for the most distinguished guests.

Generally speaking, the host of the birthday banquet will arrange the seats in advance, but because too many invitations are sent out, too many people come, except for well-known individuals and sects in the Jianghu, the rest of the people wait for the Zheng family to let them sit freely If someone is not satisfied with the seat, it's easy. There are two tables on the left and right of the central table. Whoever refuses to accept the seat he likes will challenge the person sitting there. Whoever wins will sit.

As long as there is no trouble for both parties.

Everyone is very satisfied with this handling method, because martial arts are always respected in the world, and whoever is the most powerful has the final say.

And young people and some small sects love this more, because it undoubtedly provides them with a chance to become famous.

They challenge the strong, losing is not ashamed, but winning can make them famous, so why not do it?

The powerhouses didn't think there was anything wrong, anyway, today is Zheng Hao's birthday, and he doesn't mind seeing blood, so what else can they tweak?

But Li Baolu and the others didn't dare to move forward. Chen Zhu was afraid of being discovered by her father, and Li Baolu was afraid of being challenged. She was the only one in the group who was good at it. If she was challenged, would she go up or not?

But it doesn't work if it's too far away from the stage, the banquet hall is too big, let alone listen to the people in front of you, you can't see them.

So Li Baolu specially went to the corners, because those places are remote, even if they are close to the front of the stage, people don't like to sit, because everyone comes here to join in the fun and make friends, and she sits in the corner with a few tables in a deserted place What's going on here?

The three of them quickly found a good position in the most remote position in front.

The reason why I want to add the most is because this table is placed on the leftmost edge, and a pillar is erected at the edge to hang a cloth curtain, covering most of the table, not only the people sitting on the table can hardly see the big table. In this situation, even the people in the banquet hall can hardly see this table, only their next table can fully see them.

This table should not have been placed here, but maybe there were unexpectedly many people who came today, so it was temporarily put up again. Now there are only three people on the table, and they are only six, but it is their subordinates. Tables are full.

As soon as the three sat down, they nodded slightly to the other three people at the same table, and shook hands with the people at the next table as a greeting.

At this time, there were more people in the banquet hall. At a glance, it was densely packed with people. Li Baolu also saw that some servants were constantly moving tables here, and some people took shovels to fill in the soil, apparently to temporarily expand the venue. .

Li Baolu sympathized with Baozhu Zheng from the bottom of her heart, how much does it cost for so many people to eat a meal, and how many people like them eat mixed food.

You must know that when they came, they just went to the dim sum shop to make a few boxes of dim sum as a birthday present, and those dim sum are probably not as good as the ones on the table now.

She coughed lightly and sat down with a suppressed smile, and said to Gu Jingyun via voice transmission: "I'm looking forward to their expressions when they unwrap our gift box."

Gu Jingyun coughed lightly, and couldn't help showing a smile in his eyes. His eyes swept across the guests, and he said in a low voice: "Don't worry, there must be many people like us."

"What's not in the minority?" Chen Zhu asked, poking her head over.

Li Baolu pushed her head away and said, "Qinghe said that there must be quite a few people coming to the birthday banquet this time."

The other three people at the same table looked over, nodded and said: "Miss is right, it's still in the middle of the morning, and it's not yet noon. I think this is a grand event that has almost shocked the entire Jianghu. Fortress Zheng is not small."

The people who got off the table sneered when they heard this, Li Baolu turned his head to take a look, and almost couldn't help turning his head back, it seemed a bit unlucky to meet an "old friend".

Gu Jingyun glanced at the table, then looked away as if nothing had happened, and raised his hand to pick up the teapot and poured Li Baolu a cup of tea, finally allowing Li Baolu to turn his head back as if nothing had happened.

Chen Zhu, who was sitting on the other side of Li Baolu, stared at the sneering man in Tsing Yi, "Why are you laughing, are they not right?"

The man in Tsing Yi shook his folding fan and said, "That's right or wrong."

The faces of the three people at the same table were a little gloomy, "Why is it right, why is it wrong?"

"This birthday banquet has indeed shocked the whole world. There are quite a few people who came, but no one from Wudang, Shaolin, Huashan, Emei and other big sects showed up. How can it be considered a grand event? As for the face of Lord Zheng "The man in Tsing Yi said meaningfully: "It's too early to talk about this now. But I think Castle Master Zheng might regret making such a big fuss."

Li Baolu raised her eyebrows and looked towards the big stage, but her sight was blocked by the pillars, she didn't see anything, but this didn't prevent her from listening with her ears upright. I haven't shown up yet.

She turned her head to look at the man in Tsing Yi generously, "That means that none of the first-class sects came to congratulate Lord Zheng on his birthday?"

The man in Tsing Yi nodded, feeling that Li Baolu was a little familiar, but after thinking about it for a while, he found that he had no impression, and said: "Not only the first-class sect, but also the second-class sect, there are very few people here, and most of them are sent disciples."

So all the people who came here were small shrimps, with the idea of ​​fishing in troubled waters, and of course it was not ruled out that some people just wanted to eat and drink.
