Lanke Chess Edge

The scope of Wei's Manor is very wide, and several places are luxuriously decorated, but no one lives there now. In an area deep in the backyard, there is a big house that is currently lit, through the gaps in doors and windows and broken windows. Paper, you can see a shadow inside.

Although the little paper crane was very small, it flew very fast before leaving Ji Yuan's side. The next moment, it flew to this mansion with lights on. The whole process was silent, and finally landed on the window frame outside the house. Looking into the house through a hole in the window paper, it is very lively inside, and guests are constantly entering the house through the small doors at the back.

There is a big round table in the house, on which many delicacies have been placed, someone is moving chairs and stools, and someone is carrying a warm basin to adjust the charcoal fire.

"Come here, come here, set the chairs upright." "Put the warm basin here, but also over there."

All the time in the house was a very handsome man with a fair complexion and a small mustache, and his face was full of smiles.

"Hahahaha, little brother is late!"

A man came out from the small door at the back with a hunched body and trotted out. When he reached the door, he stood up straight again and bowed his hands to the person inside.

"Hahahaha, just in time, just in time, not late, please come in quickly, please come in quickly."

"A small gift, inside is Hongfuji's roast meat!"

"My brother's gift is just in time, hahaha, it's just in time, please come in quickly!"

People inside and outside the house, from greetings to bowing and saluting, all the etiquette links are not bad, but in the eyes of the little paper crane, it seems so strange. First of all, the strangest thing is the walking posture. The cord on the gift was bitten in his mouth, and his hands were free to salute.

"Uncle, I'm here, look what I brought!"

Another man who looked like a young and strong man, wearing a brocade robe woven with silk, came excitedly from outside, holding a jar in each hand and shaking it happily.

"I can already smell the aroma of wine. I'm short of wine today. It's just in time. Come in!"

"Come on come on!"

...

The guests who have already arrived in the house, and the guests who came one after another, add up to twenty or thirty people. Most of the visitors come with something in their hands or in their mouths. They mainly eat food. Occasionally, there are those who don’t bring anything. , At this time, the faces of other guests who have already arrived in the house will immediately turn ugly, but after exchanging greetings as usual, they are still invited in, and there is no example of driving anyone away.

As the number of people increased, the atmosphere in the house quickly approached its peak, and the house was ready for a banquet.

The little paper crane was lying on both sides of the window hole with its two wings, and its small head got into the window hole to stare at the situation seriously. This big round table is indeed one size larger than the regular one, but it can only seat twelve people at most. , but nearly thirty people in the room were all crowded in front of one table, which looked extremely funny.

What was even more exaggerated was that the table was full of delicacies and fine wines, and these twenty or thirty well-dressed people, as if they had never seen the world, were drooling at the table of fine wines and dishes.

"Well, then let's move our chopsticks!"

"Okay!" "Let's eat, let's eat!" "I've been waiting for this sentence for a long time."

"Eat, eat, eat, I want chicken drumsticks." "Me too!"

"Pour the wine and pour the wine!"

All of a sudden, twenty or thirty people stretched out their chopsticks towards the table, and each picked up the food they wanted to eat, and some directly started to eat.

Ji Yuan's footsteps were unhurried, walking out of this backyard like a leisurely stroll, and he saw from a distance that the hall of the mansion was brightly lit, and it was very lively inside, with the sound of clinking glasses and changing glasses mixed with some drinking orders to add to the fun , the aroma of the food is even richer.

Jin Jia followed behind Ji Yuan and still didn't say a word, his eyes, which almost never blinked, seemed to reflect not only the lights, but also some other auras.

"See it?"

"My lord, they are all monsters."

Ji Yuan shook his head.

"A monster is a monster, so it's not evil, at most it's a petty theft, let's go, let's go visit."

I'm used to seeing demons dancing wildly and harming people in the land of Zuyue, and occasionally seeing a scene like this tonight, Ji Yuan also finds it quite interesting.

With this thought in mind, Ji Yuan directly led Jin Jia to the door of the big house, glanced at the little paper crane lying on the window beside him, smiled, then reached out and knocked on the door lightly.

"Boom boom boom..."

There was a knock on the door, although the sound was not loud, it spread all over the inside and outside of the house. The twenty or thirty people inside who were eating and drinking were all stopped at once. The sharpness of human reaction.

"Uh, someone knocked on the door?"

"It seems to be..." "I don't smell anything..."

"Boom boom boom..."

There was another knock on the door, and everyone in the room looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Can you open the door?"

The rich man who had been in the house before put down the half chicken leg in his hand and wiped his hands on the edge of the table.

"Clean up and clean up your appearance, I will open the door!"

When the people in the room heard the words, they looked at each other's eating manners, and quickly sat upright, helped up the fallen chairs, and even wiped the oil on their hands on their clothes.

At this time, the rich man had already arrived at the door, tidied his clothes, looked outside the house through the holed window paper, and saw a leisurely literati and a tall and mighty follower, he felt overwhelmed. After speaking again, he opened the door.

"Squeak~~"

The moment the door was opened, the bright moonlight shining in from the outside seemed to temporarily overwhelm the firelight inside the house, but upon closer inspection, the light outside was obviously dimmer than the inside, so I took the feeling just now as an illusion.

"Uh, who is this gentleman? What's the matter here late at night?"

The rich man saluted Ji Yuan first, and then asked softly with a kind expression. Everyone in the room looked at the door strangely, but there was no sound.

Faced with this kind of scene, an ordinary person would definitely feel terrified, but Ji Yuan naturally didn't care, he just scanned the room, and then gently bowed his hand to the rich man in front of him to return the salute.

"My surname is Ji. I came to Luping City from another place. It was already dark and the city gate was not open. I saw that there was such a big manor here. I wanted to come here to spend the night, but found that the manor was deserted. I never thought that I could see the fire in the backyard. So come here to have a look, if you bother me, please host Haihan! If it is convenient, can you allow Ji to stay overnight?"

While Ji Yuan was speaking, his eyes fell on the room from the corner of his eye, seeing the mess on the table, and the clothes of so many people inside were mostly stained with oil, he couldn't help feeling funny.

"Uh, here, Mister wants to stay overnight, just find a place to rest at will..."

The attention of the rich man and almost everyone in the room was 30% on Ji Yuan and 70% on Jin Jia. Even in this state, even if the energy and blood he showed was not as strong as that of a martial arts master, Jin Jia still Brings a sense of oppression that cannot be ignored.

"Oh, by the way, if the two of you are hungry, you can also go to the banquet together. As the saying goes, you are a guest from afar..."

"Then respectful and unbearable!"

Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Ji Yuan stepped into the room by himself, and Jin Jia followed in. The people near the outside of the room subconsciously backed away, and gave up several chairs near Ji Yuan and Jin Jia.

Ji Yuan's eyes had already scanned all the people in the room, and he saw clearly what they were. They were actually a large nest of foxes, the most common spirited animals.

Of course, these foxes couldn't be transformed monsters, they were just phantom prosthetics. Under the clothes and skirts, even a fox's tail could not be tucked in, so it could only be hidden under the clothes.

"Not bad, the table is full of delicious food, oh, and good wine!"

Ji Yuan walked to the table, glanced at the table, stretched out his hand and tore off a fairly clean chicken wing, brought it to his mouth for a few bites.

At this time, the rich man also came back, and seeing the complaining looks from other people in the room, he had no choice but to smooth things over.

"Everyone sit down, sit down, keep going, come, pour wine for the guests!"

Having said that, everyone had no choice but to sit back. Fortunately, Ji Yuan didn't occupy the seat, but just stood on the side eating chicken wings, and the big man Jin Jia stood motionless behind Ji Yuan.

"Sir, I would like to offer you a drink." "And this strong man, please drink."

The rich man handed over two wine glasses, Ji Yuan smiled and took them directly, while the golden armor hung his arms by his side, his face was expressionless and he squinted coldly, and he didn't move. He swallowed beside Jin Jia, not even daring to take a breath.

At this time, Ji Yuan had already drank the wine in the glass, but because of the golden armor, the rich man was still frozen in place, the others felt that the atmosphere was not right, and they who had been talking in a low voice many times quieted down again.

Suddenly, there was a powerful and violent roar from the window.

"Wow woof woof woof woof woof woof..."

"Ah!" "There is a dog—"

"Oh..." "Run!"

"Boom..." "Boom..."

...

All of a sudden, the people in the room fled in panic, some opened a small door on one side and crawled, some even rushed forward, and the clothes shriveled in mid-air, and foxes sprang out of it. One after another jumped into the darkness outside the door to escape, and after only three breathless hours, the room was empty.

Ji Yuan turned his head and looked towards the window. A paper crane that was stretched into the room was tilting its head. The barking sound of the dog just now was all thanks to the little paper crane. It knew that Hu Yun was very afraid of the barking of dogs. Judging from people's reactions, many foxes may be afraid.

"I haven't said a word yet, but I learned a lot from the mess!"

When Ji Yuan laughed and scolded like this, there was someone crying in front of him.

"Wuuu... Sir, no, Gao, Gao, I have never done anything harmful to nature, please forgive me, please forgive me..."

That rich man is still standing in front of Ji Yuan, it's not that he doesn't want to run, in fact he is one of the fastest reacting foxes, but he can't run away, Ji Yuan is stepping on his fox tail with one foot.
