Chapter 116

  Woke up early, the sunshine is great.

  However, Cheng Dairen's mental state was not very good, and he didn't sleep well last night. The worse a person's spirit is, the worse their appetite becomes.

  "What is this thing, for dogs to eat?!"

  "Take it away, something like this can also be eaten."

  ……

  Niuben Shan didn't sleep well last night either. After the Jinlong Biaoju and Cao Bang factions left, he couldn't fall asleep, turning over in his mind the origins of Cheng Dairen. In the morning, he woke up and sent two more people to pay attention to the situation at Dingzihao Courtyard.

  The food delivery person had gone in three times and was driven out each time. This time, Niu Ben Shan personally went in, accompanying him with a smile: "Sir, are you dissatisfied with the dishes of our small store? It must be that our chef doesn't know your taste. What do you think is delicious? I can order my partner to go into town and buy it."

  Before coming, I had already told my family that Yangzhou is a small place and things can't be as satisfactory as they are at home. One has to put up with some unpleasantness. But I didn't expect that Yangzhou couldn't even produce a dish that's edible. Cheng Dalai sighed: "Forget it, don't make things difficult for them, bring out the chili peppers we brought."

  "What's that thing...pepper?" muttered Niu Benshan to himself.

  "It was prepared for you a long time ago, let the servant bring it up."

  At this time someone brought up a dish of food, Niu Ben Shan took a peek and saw that inside were red and green dishes which was delightful.

  "Sir, I have something to report to you. The guest with the surname Jia wants to pay his respects to you, but he's afraid of being presumptuous and offending you. So he asked me to convey this message: please attend tonight's Treasure Debate Conference."

  Last night's events should have already spread to the Fishing Yang Building, and someone has noticed Cheng Dairen and his gang. It seems that the purpose of making a name for themselves has been achieved, although the process is a bit confusing.

  Regarding the guest with the surname Jia, Xushenji had already inquired about him yesterday. The other party's name is Geng Xinghe, and it is said that he is a merchant from Jingzhou who deals in silk and tea, and has been staying at the Yueyang Tower for some days, being very generous with his money and having a good reputation.

  At night, the lights in the Jiazi Courtyard were all lit up, and the sound of music could be faintly heard from outside.

  Cheng Dali and his gang arrived just in time to see a fat man in brocade clothes walking towards them with big strides.

  "Mr. Ou, we were just talking about you, and didn't expect you to arrive right at that moment."

  "I wanted to visit you last night, Brother Geng, but I was tied up with mundane affairs and only managed to find time today."

  "Come quickly, come quickly."

  Geng Xinghe led Cheng Darui to the upper seat, and many people along the way looked at Cheng Darui with curiosity, wondering about his background. What kind of background could provoke both the Fu Bang and Jinlong Escort Agency, yet remain unscathed?

  Sitting on the couch, Geng Xinghe and Cheng Darui chatted casually. Geng Xinghe was a very affable person who talked a lot, knowing everything under the sun. Cheng Darui seemed somewhat inferior in comparison. He could only shut his mouth and speak less, pretending to be taciturn and cold, which was also good.

  In the center, a dancing girl was performing a dance. The woman had a tall and slender figure, with deep eye sockets, but her eyes were golden in color.

  Mixed-blood!

  Cheng Dairen's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but spin around his ankle and waist.

  "This slave Hu Ji was bought from a Persian merchant at a high price, she is nineteen years old this year. If Young Master Ou likes her, I will give her to you."

  "Huh?"

  Cheng Dairen had a sudden good impression of Geng Xinghe, this person was really generous.

  He glanced at Su Qing standing behind him and laughed: "A gentleman does not take away what others love, Brother Geng is being polite."

  Geng Xinghe also naturally noticed Su Qing and Liu Zhi behind Cheng Dali, although they were both dressed as young children, but they couldn't escape Geng Xinghe's eyes.

  "Master Ou is surrounded by beauties, enjoying the ultimate pleasure. Ordinary women are naturally not in his sight. Hu Ji, come and toast Master Ou with a cup of wine."

  Sitting alone with a ghost, up to now not even one has been hugged. Everyone is a dignified person, look at others drinking wine, hugging beauties, dancing, and then look at yourself, alas, people are more envious than others.

  She walked with a gentle lotus step to the side of Cheng Dairen, her eyes shining with emotion, two dimples on her cheeks, and skin as smooth as flowing lard. After Cheng Dairen drank the cup of wine she had poured for him, it seemed that the fragrance of her rouge was also in the wine.

  Beauty trick? I have no resistance at all, hold on, oppa.

  The Treasure Convention has been going on for a day, and during the wine banquet, people would occasionally take out some treasures, South Ocean's pearls, North Mountain's precious stones, East Sea's sunken wood, and beauties from the far west... All sorts of things were there, some of which many had never heard or seen before. Some were immediately bid on and bought by others, who gathered together whispering and negotiating transactions.

  "European young master, why haven't you been eating all this time? Is it that the dishes don't suit your taste?" Geng Xinghe asked.

  Cheng Dairen's spirit was suddenly shaken, and it was time for his own performance skills again.

  At this moment, a sudden noise was heard at the gate of the courtyard, interrupting the conversation between Cheng Dairen and Geng Xinghe.

  "What's wrong?" Geng Xinghe's eyes narrowed slightly.

  Cheng Dali watched from the side, seeing Geng Xinghe's usual gentle and calm demeanor, but with just a slight frown, an air of majesty seeped out, making people involuntarily feel a chill in their hearts.

  One of the servants from the Star River estate hastened over: "Elder... sir, there's someone outside carrying something and trying to sell it, but we stopped them."

  Knowing that this is a debate competition, some people come over with things in their hands to test their luck, saying that they have made up a story. This kind of thing is also common.

  "It's just a small matter, why bother asking me? Just shoo him away and don't disturb our drinking mood."

  "Hey......" Cheng Dalai stopped him: "Brother Geng doesn't have to get angry, let him in and see what he's selling."

  "Since Young Master Ou has spoken, let him come in then." said Geng Xinghe.

  A man walked in from outside the hospital, wearing tattered clothes and with a pale face, as if he hadn't eaten for many days. On his back, he was carrying a long, rod-like object wrapped in thick, tattered cloth.

  "What do you want to sell?"

  "Before my father passed away, he left behind a single piece of military equipment."

  "What kind of weapon?"

  The young man took down the thing on his back, untied the tattered cloth on top, and an old spear appeared before everyone's eyes. Everyone passed it around to take a look, only to see that the spear had been left for so long that its surface was covered with rust.

  "European gentleman, I have been living in Yueyang Tower for some days and always meet people like this. They must mention the family heirloom at every turn, it really gets on my nerves."

  Other guests also burst out laughing, it seems they have encountered such things many times before.

  Cheng Dairen walked over and asked, "Does this weapon have a name?"

  "Yes. My father, who was a martial arts master before he passed away, obtained this weapon from the north. According to my father, the name of this weapon is... " The young man paused for a moment: "Jian Ba She Mao."

  Cheng Dairen's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed in surprise, "It's actually terrifying like this."
