Three days later!
Cheng Yaojin's birthday had finally arrived!
At this moment, the entire Duke Lu Mansion was decorated with lanterns and streamers. Red silk was hung all over the courtyard, and the entire space was filled with a joyous atmosphere.
In the evening, in the Martial Arts Practice Hall!
At this moment, the martial arts practice hall had already been transformed into a different appearance. In the middle of the hall, a huge "Shou" character was tightly stuck to the main wall. Moreover, the weapons and shelves that originally existed around the hall had also been replaced with banquet tables.
Obviously, Cheng Yaojin's birthday banquet was held here.
As the last ray of sunlight gradually set in the west, the entire Duke Lu Manor began to become extraordinarily lively.
The guests from all walks of life stepped through the doors and entered. Under the guidance of the servants, they headed straight for the banquet venue.
From the way these guests dressed, it was obvious that they were all high officials and officials of the imperial court. After all, with Cheng Yaojin's status, ordinary people could not enter.
"General Cheng, congratulations…"
Upon entering the banquet hall, they saw Cheng Yaojin dressed in a wedding robe. The guests cupped their fists one after another, and waves of congratulatory cheers could be heard endlessly.
Every time he heard congratulations, Cheng Yaojin would return the greeting with a laugh. Then, he would order the servants to lead everyone to their respective banquet tables.
Although these guests were all dignitaries, there were high and low statuses. The seats arranged for them naturally had to be clearly arranged.
"Hahaha…Old Cheng, you're holding your birthday banquet here again this year. Can't you change the venue?”
As some of the guests took their seats, a loud laugh suddenly came from outside the door. Then, a man with a sharp and determined face strode in and went straight to Cheng Yaojin.
As the man entered, the guests who were originally seated stood up and bowed to the man.
Because this man was none other than Yi Country Duke, Qin Qiong!
"Why? Are you not satisfied with my place?”Hearing Qin Qiong's words, Cheng Yaojin glanced at him.
"Haha…satisfied, how can I not be satisfied?”
Seeing Cheng Yaojin's appearance, Qin Qiong laughed out loud unconcernedly.
"Not only is your Martial Arts Practice Hall spacious, but you can also use your fists and legs freely. It suits my taste very well.”
"What's the use of being satisfied? This is my house, not yours.”Cheng Yaojin pursed his lips and retorted rudely.
It was obvious that the two of them were used to bickering like this, but it also meant that their relationship was extraordinary.
"Alright, today is your birthday. I won't bicker with you anymore.”
Surprisingly, Qin Qiong did not continue arguing with Cheng Yaojin. Instead, he leaned close to his ear and asked softly," You told me before that you would give His Majesty a big surprise at the banquet today. What is this surprise?"”
"Hehe, you want to know?"
Seeing Qin Qiong's curious look, Cheng Yaojin smiled slyly.
"Yes, I want to know." " Yes." Qin Qiong nodded." With His Majesty's current status, I really want to know how you can surprise him.”
Indeed, now that Li Shi Min had become the ruler of the world, it could be said that there were not many things in this world that could surprise him. Qin Qiong really wanted to know what the surprise that Cheng Yaojin was talking about was.
"You don't have to worry about that. When the time comes, I guarantee that His Majesty will be shocked.”
Cheng Yaojin said decisively.
Seeing Cheng Yaojin's confident appearance, the curiosity in Qin Qiong's heart grew even stronger.
"No, Old Cheng, are you still my brother? Can't you give me some information first?"
"I'll tell you the truth. What kind of surprise is that?”Cheng Yaojin refused decisively." No!”
"Hey…you old man, are you going to tell me or not?”Hearing Cheng Yaojin's words, Qin Qiong was instantly angered to the point of blowing his beard and glaring.
"I won't tell you!"
"I'll anger you to death."
Cheng Yaojin was resolute and unwavering.
"You…"
"Hahaha…what are you two old fellows arguing about?”
Just as Qin Qiong was fuming, a loud laugh was heard from behind the two of them. Then, a group of figures slowly walked into the hall.
"I can hear the voices of you two old fellows from far away. What's the matter this time?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the group of figures slowly arrived in front of Cheng Yaojin and the other man.
The person who had spoken just now had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. There was even a faint killing intent between his brows. This person was no ordinary person. He was the famous general who had the title of War God, Li Jing!
And this time, Li Jing wasn't the only one. Beside him stood several old and middle-aged figures, all of whom were celebrities of the Great Tang…
"General Li, Prime Minister, Imperial Uncle…"
Looking at the group of figures in front of them, Cheng Yaojin and the other man cupped their fists at the same time and greeted them. Not only the two of them, but all the guests present also cupped their fists and bowed.
There was no other reason than that this group of people were too noble. Some of them even had a higher status than Cheng Yaojin. Other than Li Jing, who had spoken earlier, there were also Uncle Zhangsun Wuji, Prime Minister Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and so on.
Facing these people, even Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong did not dare to be too careless.
"You two old fellows are already so old, yet you still act like young people. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?”
Fang Xuanling chuckled helplessly when he saw Cheng Yaojin and Li Jing.
"Hehe, when the two of us meet, it would be uncomfortable if we don't quarrel.”
Cheng Yaojin chuckled at Fang Xuanling's words.
"You…"
Seeing Cheng Yaojin's current appearance, everyone shook their heads helplessly.
They were naturally very clear about Cheng Yaojin's temperament.
"Alright, it's my honor to have everyone here. Please take a seat.”
Cheng Yaojin laughed and personally led them to their respective tables.
"Hehe…everyone is here…"
Just as Li Jing and the rest were about to take their seats, a laughter was once again transmitted from outside the door…
[PS: Happy New Year, everyone. I wish you a happy New Year…]
