Chapter 22 Night Banquet, Various Forms

When the person came to pass the message again, I was applying medicine to the maid named "Three Phoenix".

The spirits I bought come in handy. All kinds of scabies and purple stasis should be applied with prepared ointment and rubbed a little bit to avoid leaving anything permanent.

In the cold winter weather, I don’t worry about inflammation or infection, but it’s not too beautiful if you leave any scars that are unsightly...

I was called in advance, of course, not waiting for the banquet, but first I had to attend various banquets, preparations and preparations, various seats and venues, lamps, billboards, utensils, etc., and I had to find enough materials from various warehouses to arrange them.

As the largest building complex in Liangshan, the land of Juyitang Qian has been renovated and leveled. The slightly larger gravel and vines are manually cleaned and pulled out. Then they are sprinkled with thick yellow sand transported by the sea and poured with clean water to prevent freezing and slipping, and also keep a wet feeling in the air.

From the inside out, according to the status, high and low, closeness and distance, it was divided into several venues and seats of varying sizes. It was busy until the sky became dark, and the first wave of people came, but they were old soldiers wearing armor and carrying soldiers.

They checked carefully; all the furnishings and ornaments, various ingredients and utensils, as well as the famous brands and bodies of servants, and even asked others to jointly sign and protect them.

Then, the Qingtou Team, who was the first guard, was the second inspection. It was the first time I saw these elite soldiers who were known as the number one guard in Liangshan. They were much silent than the old camp athletes. Just standing there, they had a kind of aura and illusion that no one could enter.

This kind of carefulness and consideration of everything made this night banquet shrouded an unusual meaning and atmosphere first.

When the lights first came up, the drums that came into the table were ringing. With the trembling sound, they filled the mountains under the night. The stone steps and wide roads that were winding up the mountain in front of Juyi Hall were gradually filled with leaders gathered from all over the hills.

They were like countless trickles of streams secreted from mountain paths everywhere, and finally formed a dark tide on the school ground in front of Juyi Hall.

At this time,

The seats in the inner hall have been erected with artworks and hanging various curtains and barriers. The precious tables arranged according to the heads are precious bowls of Xingbai or Yueqing, chicken-neck pots and beast-mouthed bottles inlaid with gold and silver, filled with grapes from overseas and Western Regions, with famous brands, apricot wine and deer garden spring.

In the lobby used by middle-level leaders, the least effective is copper gilded cups, and they drink old local wines such as Lao Huangchun and Bai Lanchun.

The small leaders on the outermost side only had a mat, and the large bowl of shredded pottery was placed directly in front of their legs, but at least there were some cured meat, duck and other cured flavors. They could take turns to drink a jar, without much water.

Although there is always a sour smell due to the lack of filtration and preservation, they still shouted loudly and drank happily. Because today is a day when there is no restriction on drinking and the supply is as open as possible. For those lower classes who are suffering all day long, it is a rare day of gospel that can be enjoyed.

My location was just under the eaves beside the steps. Although I was bound to be blown by the wind behind me, at least a long thick wooden table shared by six people could use. It was obviously a hurry to make it. Not to mention painting, even the wood tumors and burrs did not have time to flatten it.

On the uneven tabletop, there are the melons and vegetables produced by Liangshan. They are not good in appearance but are finally fresh. There are also whole sea fish that are cooked so frivolously and not even scratched in scales. Large pieces of meat with skin and a little hair are so heavy that they are so heavy that they make people feel that the chef only knows that there are sauce and salt.

There is a large jar of choking new wine on each table, but it is a product made by Liangshan. The sour taste will never be removed when I drink it. I can only barely drink it if I ask for two raw eggs to beat it.

The bookkeeping, documents, accounting, etc. that are mostly old men who are in their twilight years, middle-aged men with a sad face, and even the Master who is full of sour smell, which shows my youth at this table.

Most of their attention and spirit are on the food in front of them, especially the large pieces of meat with fur, which were torn by bare hands, and the fish were also scattered in a mess. The melon and vegetables, which were light in taste, did not move much because of the lack of oil and salt.

Therefore, except for occasionally whispering to others, they hardly talk much, and in the noisy lobby, they become a low-key corner.

I even saw someone on another table putting these things in my arms and planning to pack them back secretly. It seems that most people can live a bad life on weekdays.

In contrast, will my daily meticulousness and enjoyment of life and diet seem too high-profile? After all, you can feel something with a little attention. I am thinking about such a question.

Because I lacked a subject, I turned my attention to the main hall, although it was on the edge.

At least I can still observe the leadership of Liangshan for the first time with my good eyesight.

They all sat in front of the large screen fan with a huge dragon and phoenix dancing cursive script, and their faces and expressions were illuminated clearly by glass lamps with multiple corners or branches.

The innermost core,

It is a circle of high-back seats ranked according to the Beidou Jiuyao. Compared with other people who sit on the case or squat, they have to have a high-rise smell.

Due to various reasons, there are only seven people in power. The other two are far away in the south, and the other is on contact with Danluo Island.

I already have a certain understanding of them. Although the leadership of Liangshan is mysterious and arrogant, people have to eat and sleep, and they also have to accept the service and arrangements of people. Some daily information and details can naturally be obtained outside.

For example: The one who is sitting in front of the cursive script with a silver edge with wide sleeves and a tall crown and tied hair in front of the screen fan with loyalty, filial piety, chastity and righteousness, is as graceful as the head of a wealthy family. It is Lu Tianjun, the leader of the nine stars of Liangshan, also known as Lu's head, or the Great Heavenly King.

His real name is Lu Sigong. His ancestors came from the Lu family of Fanyang, one of the seven major clans in Shandong. They are a branch with genealogy and are also a first-class county leader in the local area. They have been appointed as the official seal officer or the Beijing official in Daozhou for three generations. They are considered to be the good family of the aristocratic families. Therefore, he was able to join the government in his early years, and served as the judge of the grain transportation and the salt road inspection. Even if he was in the family affairs, he was still easily the first public recommendation after falling into the grass mountain.

As the left-handed seat, the half-white hair drooped in the hair, describing the thin military advisor, Junzi. Although for most people in Liangshan, the origin of this military advisor who likes to dress as a Taoist priest has become a mystery, with the initial support, he was recommended to become a think tank and mind of Liangshan for more than ten years. Although he is no longer among the nine stars, his identity is even more transcendent than others.

The right head is Chen Ju, the second in command of the Great Heavenly King, who is known as the judge Bai; he is a former governor of the military governor, and his origins in the world. His experience and social relations before his career were the most complicated. He was in charge of famous people and internal and external negotiations, and his criminal law was punished, which was very good.

The third person is Zhu Taigong, who is called the fourth old man. He came from a wealthy family that had served as an imperial pepper merchant. After being raped and imprisoned, he was raped by the first leader of the prison and became one of the first elders of Liangshan, and was also the chief of the money and grain cabinets of major mountains. He was also the boss of hundreds of officials in Liangshan.

Skip the fourth outing and vacant position,

The fifth seat is Ruan Qi. He was born as a big salt owl. He gathered people to sell private goods and even local yamen runners dared not provoke him. After being attacked and destroyed by the official army, he was the only one who escaped. Now he is also the general leader of the Third Battalion of Shanwai. He has more than a dozen camps and sent posts to form the edge of Liangshan's power.

The sixth chair is Xiao Yin, known as Bailang. His father was the prince of the former father Bolang. He was unable to wait for the title because of his grandfather's longevity. However, he was in Chaozheng and other brothers who were imprisoned for the title and died suddenly. Only this person in Biezhuang led a group of family generals and troops to kill the officers and soldiers who came to confiscate, and furiously took up the grass to the mountain.

He commanded the elites of the Selected Front and Dangqi, outside the Jiudu, the old camp of the Central Army. He had five sons under his command, known as the choice of the brave men of Liangshan.

Guo Wei, who is the eighth-headed leader, is actually a local tycoon owner who made his fortune by selling various tofu products. He is known as Guo Guo, but he is actually the leader of various smuggling and selling stolen goods. Now he is still working on his old business in Liangshan, but the scale is larger and the various operations are in and out of the business.

Zheng Maichen, who was the ninth leader, was Zheng Nian, a hero of Taixing. After a typical nobleman, he no longer enjoyed his official position and shamans when he was in his grandfather's generation. However, he was also a powerful man. Later, he robbed the important things of Anton's vassal and could not accommodate him. He crossed the sea to Qingzhou and was introduced to Liangshan. He was also responsible for the Central Army of Liangshan and the new camp affairs.

In addition, Qu Lianrong, the chief instructor of the Xinba and the Beiding Department, is also the former leader of the Privy Council. He was said to be the origin of the former Privy Council. He was the official in charge of the Bianzhou Teaching Battalion at that time. He was a remnant who missed the net after a political struggle. He was introduced into the mountains through certain channels and was considered a very low-key and unrestrained person.

Then there is Qin Ming, the leader of Liangshan’s guest ministers. It is said that he was the remnant of the Dayun Guangming Sect, a cult that rebelled in the southeast. He has great internal and external skills. He is known as the Thunderbolt Fire. He and a group of so-called strange people and strange people in the side table who have their own expertise, formed the so-called group of guests in Liangshan.

Shi Heng, the director in charge of equipment engineering, was a dispatched personnel directly from overseas vassals, and even had a small team of well-equipped and highly independent guards. Rather than being responsible for equipment maintenance and construction on a daily basis, it was a secret task to prevent the loss of military technology controlled and monopolized by overseas vassals to some extent.

This is also a kind of default normal. For the vassal states in the inland areas, these Haisheng Tang people used smuggling to maintain a certain bond while blocking any high-end things.

Finally, there is a woman - Lu Linglong, known as Jiu Niangzi, the only woman in the upper class of Liangshan, a mature woman with overseas relations and high-end beauty. She is particularly conspicuous among a group of leaders of all sizes and big, and it also prevents the Liangshan Kou's group from becoming a hell of all muscular men.

She is mainly responsible for external underground communication and private exchanges. Of course, there are rumors that there is an overseas vassal behind her, so even the great leader Lu Tianjun usually has to rely on three points.

Next level is the real power class composed of the twelve generals of the Five Army. The most noisy banquet was formed by a group of burly and strong men. The sounds were loud and loud, and they almost lifted off the roof. Only when Lu Tianjun spoke would they be a little calmer.

Among them, I am only a few well-known ones.

Zhang Jiu, the chief general of the former army, came from a famous horse bandit who once ravaged Hebei, and his nickname was Cunzaiba. His deputy, Liu Qi, the left general of the horse stairs, was a former captain who was in a fury and killed his boss, provoked a mutiny in the entire battalion, and ravaged seven counties in one go before he was defeated.

The right general Murong Wu was once a famous ranger in Yan land. He was known as the best of both bows and guns. The so-called poor, rich martial arts, swords, horses, bows and guns have never been affordable to ordinary people.

The chief general of the Right Army was a wealthy man who seemed harmless. It is hard to imagine that he was the first half-black and white leader of the ship's house who occupied the waters of Liangshanpo. He used the cover of reed marsh to evade the government's corvee taxes and taxes, and made a living by fishing and dealing with private goods every day, and occasionally did unsuccessful business.

Therefore, the group of people around him have the heaviest aura and the least righteous.

The Zuo Army had the largest seats. According to personal preferences and closeness, it was divided into four or five small groups. Among them, the ones in the front were naturally the Luo Piqi and Luo Kedi brothers whom I was familiar with.

The number of people gathered around them was the largest, with dozens of people, most of whom had met me. Compared to the scattered and unrestrained military style and old customs, they were somewhat prohibited.

Opposite them, this is a smoke pot that never leaves. Lu Baiyan, the hard-core confidant of the leader, was also the rear of the Liangshan forces and the chief supervisor of various civil affairs.

Therefore, the people at this seat are also the most complicated, from the traditional monks, Taoists, to long gowns, scribes in short clothes, fishermen with fishing heads, and almost all kinds of dress and professions, mixed together and drinking and chewing. There are even a few women, mainly the managers of slaves and servants, and representatives of certain service industries stationed in Liangshan.

I was a little lucky to see it, but fortunately I was not valued by Qingyan but was just arranged on the edge. It really cost people's life to get along with these weird guys.

Among the Liangshan people, there were also a group of special VIP seats, which were arranged directly opposite the seats of the representatives of the Haifan and the ship merchants, and they were also divided into several small groups. However, the people wearing gorgeous shirts and brocade robes, in terms of temperament and manners, were somewhat out of place with the atmosphere of the occasion.

Most of the time, they just talk in a low voice, or raise their glasses politely with people who come and invite each other.

Although there are many vacant positions in the forefront, Lu Tianjun, as the first seat, did not make any special statement, but just turned a blind eye to persuade him to drink and invite him to wish him.

According to some custom since ancient times, people who are qualified to be late for every banquet event often have the status and influence.

Of course, as far as I know,

As the real big head, the bulk transactions with Liangshan were actually completed before Haishi. The rest of the things that were left in Haishi were all transactions under the names of certain groups and individuals.

Therefore, this reward and entertainment is just a routine matter. Whether to attend or not is more symbolic.

Despite this, according to the parts I handled and participated in, I can still feel that some of the Mao terminals, such as the upper level of Liangshan, are not very satisfied with the marine ship transactions in recent years. Compared with the various daily necessities, the input ratio of iron ingots, other products, and even weapons is increasing.

While I was constantly experiencing and expanding my thoughts, a loud voice suddenly scared me.

"The Emily Jibo Fan, Gongsun Bing and his subordinates came here..."

Why did I feel a little awkward when I saw a group of mermaids coming in, the first young man with long fur and long fur

"May the great heavenly king be blessed for a long time and be honored for a hundred generations."
