Chapter 48 Attending the Banquet
This was Su Tang's first time hosting and participating in the action of Miao Dao Pavilion, and he also witnessed the strength of Miao Dao Pavilion with his own eyes, which could not be felt by flipping through materials.
Su Tang needs a legitimate identity that won't arouse suspicion, so Dian Tian, the person in charge of the first hall of Miao Dao Ge, finds five people for Su Tang. Su Tang chooses Nan Gong Zhen Ye, the owner of Tong Shun Che Ma Hang. Nan Gong Zhen Ye is designed to be extremely handsome and elegant, and when placed among people, he will definitely give off an air of standing out from the crowd.
The reason why the word 'design' is used is that Nan Gong Zhen Ye himself is a fictional character, and Tong Shun Che Ma Hang is actually an industry of Miao Dao Ge. Remove the delicate mask from his face, as long as the figure is similar, whoever wears the mask becomes Nan Gong Zhen Ye.
Su Tang was very interested in this exquisite mask. She didn't ask and wouldn't have known, but when she did ask, she got a shock... It turned out to be Xiao Bu's masterpiece.
With his identity in place, Su Tang's plan has begun to take shape!
A horse carriage drove out of the Tongshun Horse Carriage Company, with Su Tang and Wen Xiang sitting inside. Their bodies swayed slightly as they rode in silence for half the journey before Wen Xiang finally couldn't bear it anymore and sighed, "I never thought I'd be going crazy with you." Wen Xiang had also carefully made herself up, shaving off her eyebrows and painting on two sword-like brows, applying lipstick to make her cheeks appear thinner, dotting a few small moles on the bridge of her nose, and adding a beauty mark by the corner of her mouth. She looked completely different from before, especially in terms of temperament - previously sweet, now she seemed very seductive.
"This isn't madness, if we were to attack the Xia family with you all, that would be true madness." Su Tang smiled: "I won't do something suicidal, didn't Xiao Gong say so too? We have a chance."
"Do you really think this thing will be useful?" Wen Xiang said, shaking the book in her hand, her expression becoming increasingly worried.
"Gu Qiujue is a greedy and lustful person, you're so beautiful, and with the secret map of Moyun Ridge in your hands, he's sure to take the bait." Su Tang said.
"Still hiding the map, huh......" Wen Xiang's nose and eyebrows were almost scrunched together: "Who can you deceive?! Maoyun Ridge doesn't have any hidden treasures, only piles of white bones."
"We don't expect him to believe it immediately, as long as he becomes curious." Su Tang said: "You... seem to be very familiar with Moyun Ridge?"
"I've been there a few times." The scentless one replied indifferently: "At first, I also went for the Dog Feces Secret Cave, but later gave up. Mr. Su, have you ever heard of Moyun Ridge?"
"Should I have heard of it?" Su Tang asked back.
"You... are really weird, you don't know anything that you should know." Wen Xiang sighed and said: "Mo Yun Ridge is the battlefield relic closest to our current era, every year many warriors come to Mo Yun Ridge to seek adventure."
"Battlefield remains?"
"Uh, have you heard of the Temple of Godslayer? The main temple of the Temple of Godslayer is located in Moyun Ridge. The three major heavenly gates joined forces to attack the Temple of Godslayer and it took them more than half a month to destroy the main temple. It's said that at least 600,000 to 700,000 cultivators lost their lives in that battle. The mountains were filled with corpses, blood, and ownerless spiritual artifacts."
Wen Xiang said: "Moreover, when the Temple of Godslayer saw that the situation was critical and couldn't be saved, they activated a large array, causing the main peak of Moyun Ridge to collapse. I don't know how many people were buried alive underneath. Those warriors who went on adventures would have gained some rewards if they had enough time, effort, and luck."
"So, our plan is more credible now." Su Tang said with a smile.
"I don't even know where you got this tattered map from!" Wen Xiang rolled her eyes.
"The map was chosen by Mo Xiaobai and has been kept in the secret room, it should be genuine, otherwise there would be no value in keeping it." Su Tang said: "If because of a fake map someone sees through the flaws, that's really..." As he spoke to the end, Su Tang suddenly froze, he remembered the map found on Tie Canglang's body in the Black Forest, the two maps were drawn extremely similarly.
"Could... we are going to a banquet, let me take this book... what's it like?" asked Wen Xiang.
"The book is called 'Mo Yun Ridge Travel Notes', and it contains the treasure map of Mo Yun Ridge, isn't that just what we need? And...it's only the first part of the travel notes, so Gu Qi should have thought to get the rest of them, and then he can swallow you up along with them." Su Tang said: "What's wrong with bringing a book? It proves you're a diligent and studious good girl!"
"Go die!" Xiang said, gritting her teeth, only to realize afterwards that it had a flirtatious tone, and she and Su Tang weren't familiar enough for that.
Wen Xiang's face slightly flushed as she hastily changed the subject: "Mr. Su, you really are trusting me to let me deal with Gu Qiujue..."
Xiao Gongfeng said, "He and Tong Fei joined forces, but they may not be able to defeat Gu Qiuzhe. Moreover, they have no way of attracting his attention. I can only rely on you." Su Tang said in a low voice, "After all, we are in the dark, and he is in the light. I don't require you to kill him, just holding him back for a moment will be enough."
As they were speaking, the carriage had already arrived at De Sheng Tai. Su Tang adjusted his clothes and jumped down from the carriage, extending his hand to Wen Xiang. Wen Xiang hesitated for a moment before placing her small hand in Su Tang's palm.
Today, Cheng's family booked the entire De Sheng Tai, but there were still too many guests, so they set up a flowing banquet, not dishes flowing like water, but people flowing like water. The two invitations received by Miao Dao Ge belonged to the first seat, while Nan Gong Zhen Ye's invitation belonged to the second seat. Not only was the entry time late, but also the guests of the first seat had left before they could take their turn, and the scene at the banquet was very chaotic. The waiters at De Sheng Tai didn't have time to clean up.
After waiting for a long time in the side hall, the guests from the first seat finally dispersed. As he walked into the main hall, Su Tang's gaze quickly swept across the top, and at the main seat above, there was only one woman wearing a large red skirt. On either side of her were two seats, with four people sitting separately, looking like they were accompanying someone. Apart from Tie Canghai, he didn't recognize any of them.
Iron Canhai is just an elder, this situation should be attended by the host himself. Su Tang thought for a moment and immediately understood that although the Iron family and the Cheng family have always been close, they only have a good relationship and some trust between them, but it's not like one has to listen to the other. Now, the situation in Changshan County is about to undergo a major change. The Cheng family is pretending to be the master of Changshan, and the Iron family's host is naturally dissatisfied, but he doesn't dare openly oppose it, so he makes an excuse not to come and lets Iron Canhai attend on his behalf.
There should be an article to do... Su Tang hesitated, and when he sat down under the guidance of the attendant, his gaze swept towards the top again.
It was absolutely not affected by the data, and the red lady looked like a ****, others were sitting in an orderly manner, only she lay on a soft couch, with a lazy expression.
