Chapter 4293 4295【Feast of Hundreds of Flowers】
Xiang Nan immediately took Xu Ziling to the back door of the hotel and saw that there was no one queuing up here.
"We will sneak in quietly at night, and then find a seat to sit down directly." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "It will be noisy by then. Who knows where we got in from."
“You are right, Mr. Zhong, you still have the idea.” Xu Ziling nodded and smiled.
The two of them immediately climbed up the big tree at the back door and sat on the branch, practicing while waiting for dark.
I was so absorbed in this practice that before I knew it, it was already night.
Xiang Nan and Xu Ziling immediately climbed the wall and entered the hotel.
Although Xu Ziling did not understand martial arts, he was successful in practicing internal martial arts, and he was also light and strong, and his muscles and bones were flexible. Therefore, the ten-foot-high wall presented no resistance to the two of them, and they jumped up in one step.
Then, relying on their sharp ears and eyesight, the two of them easily dodged the guards and servants of the hotel and arrived at the front yard where the banquet was held.
I saw that dozens of tables had been set up here, with all kinds of delicacies, wine and food on them, and the people in the city were also being brought in.
Seeing this, Xiang Nan pulled Xu Ziling and sat down on a seat, "Come here, let's eat an elbow first~"
Xu Ziling was very hungry for a long time. He took the elbow and started chewing it. After a while, the corners of his mouth were filled with oil.
Xiang Nan also accompanied him to take a few bites of vegetables.
At this time, the people in the city also sat down and started looting with them.
After all, many people are like Xiang Nan and Xu Ziling. They have been hungry for several meals. Now they see so much good wine and food, how can they endure it.
…
While everyone was vying for it and feasting, I heard someone say loudly, "Please be quiet for a moment. Dear fellow villagers, today is Miss Li Xiuning's birthday. In order to enjoy it with the people, Miss Li is so special." Let’s arrange this flower feast for everyone. Let’s wish Ms. Li a happy birthday and stay young!”
Xiang Nan followed the sound and saw that the speaker was a handsome young man at the main table wearing rich clothes.
Xiang Nan knew that he was Chai Shao, the richest man in the world, and also Li Xiuning's suitor.
“Happy birthday to Miss Li, may you stay young forever!” Everyone agreed.
"Thank you everyone." Chai Shao smiled, then smiled and said to the beautiful woman beside him, "Xiuning, let's sit down."
“Why did you invite so many people?” Li Xiuning frowned slightly.
"You like to have fun with the people, so I specially arranged this Hundred Flowers Banquet to have fun with the people." Chai Shao said with a smile, "All the dishes tonight are delicacies from the mountains and seas, and they are unique. I think these ordinary people may never have the opportunity in their lifetime. Try these dishes.”
"But don't you think this is extravagant and wasteful?" Li Xiuning said displeasedly, "Think about it, the cost tonight is enough for them to buy food for a year. The people only want to have food and clothing instead of delicacies."
"Yes, thank you for reminding me. After the banquet, can I send someone to deliver food to them?" Chai Shao said immediately after hearing this.
“Of course it’s good to do good deeds.” Li Xiuning nodded.
Chai Shao felt relieved when he saw her saying this.
“Everything Mr. Chai said to Sister Xiuning was always kind and well-intentioned.” At this time, a man dressed as a prince next to them laughed.
Xiang Nan knew that the person dressed as the young master was Song Yuzhi.
She is the only daughter of Song Que, the Heavenly Sword, and Song Que is the King of Zhennan. She has a huge power in Lingnan, so she is also called the "Song Clan".
"Because everything Xiuning said makes sense." Chai Shao said with a smile, "Okay, fellow villagers, in order to thank everyone for the banquet, Miss Li gave each person an additional fifty kilograms of rice."
“Okay.” When the people heard what he said, they cheered again.
"Hey, Mr. Zhong, if you don't eat the food, what are you looking at?" Xu Ziling asked with some confusion when he saw that Xiang Nan was not busy grabbing the food, but staring at the people at the main table.
"Food can be eaten at any time, but big shots like them, if they want to meet again, they don't know that they have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse." Xiang Nan explained, "Young Master Ling, as the saying goes, 'learn literature and martial arts, sell goods to the emperor's family', We have a lot of skills now, so of course we can’t waste them. What do you think if we have the opportunity to cooperate with these big names?” “Of course it would be great, but will they be willing to cooperate with us?” Xu Ziling asked doubtfully.
“How will you know if you don’t try.” Xiang Nan said with a smile.
While talking, a dragon dance team came to the field, waving a colorful dragon, to the accompaniment of gongs and drums, dancing lively and showy.
By this time, everyone had already snatched away the food and drinks, the cups and plates were in a mess, and there was nothing to eat, so they all put down their bowls and chopsticks and came to the sidelines to enjoy the dragon dance together.
“Okay, dance well~”
“This dragon dances so energetically, as if it were alive.”
“Some eat and some look, this time it’s really coming~”
The people cheered one after another.
Even Li Xiuning, Chai Shao, Song Yuzhi and others came to the sidelines with smiles to enjoy.
…
But in this bustling, festive, peaceful and peaceful time, something unexpected happened, and the group of dragon dancers suddenly pulled out their sharp blades from the dragon's body and slashed at Li Xiuning.
Although Li Xiuning, Chai Shao, Song Yuzhi and others were caught off guard, they were not afraid and immediately fought with them, and soon there were casualties.
“Oh, it’s a murder~”
“Run quickly, something happened~”
“Someone is killed, run away for your life~”
When the people saw it, they were all frightened and fled in all directions.
It was a mess for a while.
“Master Ling, our opportunity has come~” Xiang Nan said as he pulled Xu Ziling’s hand.
Xu Ziling nodded, "Ms. Li invited us to dinner and gave us grain. She is obviously a good person. We can't let her be bullied."
At this moment, the two of them went upstream and rushed up to fight with the assassins.
Xiang Nan's martial arts skills were far superior to those of the assassins, but he did not kill everyone. Instead, he protected Xu Ziling while fighting with others.
After all, Xu Ziling has no martial arts skills, so it would be troublesome if he was injured.
Fortunately, although Xu Ziling does not understand martial arts moves, he has a small amount of internal skills, but he is light and strong, with flexible muscles and sharp reflexes.
Hence he did not suffer any disadvantage in the fight, and he quickly defeated two assassins on his own. Even if Xiang Nan suppressed his strength, he quickly eliminated four of them.
Li Xiuning is the fourth lady of the Li family, Song Yuzhi is the daughter of Tiandao, and Chai Shao is the son of the Chai family... their skills are naturally not ordinary.
In addition, Li Clan's hotel also had guards. When they saw something happened, they immediately rushed over to protect him. Therefore, the situation on the scene immediately reversed, and soon those assassins with evil intentions were beaten to the ground.
Then Li Xiuning, Chai Shao, Song Yuzhi and others looked at Xiang Nan and Xu Ziling.
Among the people present at this moment, they were the only two who were neither assassins nor friends of their Li clan, but they had just fought against the assassins, and their origins were quite mysterious.
"Who are you two..." Chai Shao asked with a vigilant look.
At this moment, an assassin on the ground suddenly flew up and stabbed Li Xiuning with a knife, very fast.
"Miss Li, be careful~" Xiang Nan jumped up, shouted, and stood in front of Li Xiuning.
There was a pop, and the long knife pierced his stomach.
