Chapter 555 The Uninvited Guest of the Hongmen Banquet

The reason why Ding Baiying and others chose to start at Jinling Tower is that the business of this restaurant is not very good. Usually there are very few customers, especially during the Ghost Festival.

However, I never expected that as the night fell and there were fewer pedestrians on the road, the waiter of the counterfeit store who was guarding the door politely refused customers, just went to the counter to drink water, and then a man came in from the back, and he was very carefree. Greet the fake shop waiter to greet yourself.

The atmosphere in the store suddenly became subtly stiff.

The waiter and the other companions exchanged glances, hesitating and did not come forward to say hello.

Seeing this, Zhang Jin feigned dissatisfaction and patted the table vigorously, shaking the chopstick holder and teacup on the table, and said loudly: "Xiaoer, are you deaf or can't understand human speech, let you come over and say hello Man, I want to order food!"

Before the shop waiter could respond, the curtain of the back kitchen was lifted suddenly, and a woman in plain clothes came out. Before the person arrived, she rang out: "What are you shouting about! It's so loud, I can hear it from behind!"

"Ding... the shopkeeper, there are customers." The waiter quickly pointed in Zhang Jin's direction and explained.

Zhang Jin looked at the woman who came out. She was none other than Ding Baiying, the descendant of the Qi Family Sword in the movie. Her force value was the top woman in the whole movie.

Moreover, among the four apprentices taught, except for Ding Tai and Ding Chong who are average in strength, Ding Xiu and Ding Xian (Jin Yichuan) are both top-notch masters.

Ding Baiying looked at Zhang Jin for a while, but there was no expression on his face: "I'm sorry, guest officer, today is the Ghost Festival, and our shop will close early, let the guys go back for the festival, please go to another place to eat .”

"I've been walking all the way and saw that your store is still open. After working all day without eating, you let me go as soon as I sat down. I have never seen you open a store and drive away customers?" Zhang Jin pointed to the other Fake guests at the table, "Besides, don't they eat well? There is not much to each dish, and they just move their chopsticks for a long time, eating slowly, and I haven't seen you urging them!"

The shop clerk pointed at Zhang Jin: "Why are you talking so much nonsense, you said you wouldn't do your business, and you're still so shameless..."

Ding Baiying raised his hand to stop the shop waiter from continuing, and looked at the guests who were eating: "Guests, please eat quickly, the shop is closing. Today is the Ghost Festival, so it's better for the guests to go home early go home."

These pretended guests were originally her slain soldiers, and when they heard this, they all left Yin Liang and got up and left.

"The proprietress is right, it's better to go home early for the Ghost Festival."

"Let's go, let's go!"

After a while, all the guests left, only Zhang Jin's table was left in the lobby, and everyone looked at him.

Looking outside the door, Zhang Jin thought it was amused in his heart. Those guests seemed to go out, but in fact they detoured around and climbed over the wall to return to the backyard of Jinling Building. Although the footsteps were small, they could not be hidden from his hearing.

"Guest officer, the other guests have left, can you please help me?" Ding Baiying said.

The other party's actions were reasonable, and Zhang Jin couldn't find any reasonable excuse to continue to stay. Fortunately, he had already expected this kind of situation to happen, so in addition to reasonable excuses, he also prepared rogue methods.

Boom!

Zhang Jin took out a waist card from his waist and threw it on the table. He pointed to the waist card and turned to Ding Baiying and the others: "Do you recognize this item?"

"What is it?" The waiter stepped forward a few steps to the table, his face changed slightly after only one glance, "Jinyiwei Baihu!"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of Ding Baiying and the other shop assistants present became serious with surprise.

The waiter quickly turned his head and cast a questioning look at Ding Baiying.

Ding Baiying also came forward to take a closer look at the badge, and after confirming that it was true, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, it's not as good as it is.They didn't want to cause extra problems, but who would have thought that this restaurant, which is usually empty, would welcome Jinyiwei, who was released from the government, on the day of the Ghost Festival, and there would be a hundred households!
"It's good to know each other. I walked around the streets for a day, and I'm really hungry. I won't embarrass you. I will leave after cooking a meal. Otherwise, don't blame me for taking you all back to the imperial prison and letting you stay inside." Spend this Hungry Ghost Festival!" Zhang Jin looked like a rascal.

Ding Baiying had no choice but to order: "Go to the back kitchen to prepare dishes for Lord Baihu, hurry up, don't delay Lord Baihu to go home for the holiday!"

"Hey, okay." The waiter nodded in agreement, trotting all the way into the back kitchen.

"Master Baihu, please wait a moment, the dishes will be delivered later." Ding Baiying smiled reluctantly, turned around and walked towards the back kitchen, and whispered to the two remaining waiters in the hall to keep an eye on Zhang Jin. Don't let idlers wait at the door.

"Give me a few jars of good wine first!" Zhang Jin hooked his hands to the two waiters.

The two guys didn't dare to mess around, one went to guard the door, and the other went to get the wine.

Not long after, two jugs of fine wine were delivered to Zhang Jin's table. He glanced at the wine delivery guy and said, "Two jugs are not enough to drink, two more jugs."

"Okay, please wait a moment, my lord." The man nodded.

The backyard of Jinling Tower.

Ding Baiying was instructing those dead soldiers who pretended to be guests and left: "The situation has changed, if someone comes later, and that Jinyiwei Baihu has not left, then kill him together!"

All the dead men nodded one after another, they didn't care whether the other party was a hundred households of Jinyiwei or not.

Ding Baiying raised his head to look at the sky, the first day of Xu had passed, and Guo Zhen and Bei Zhai were about to arrive.

In the Jinling Building, in the empty restaurant lobby, there is only one table and one customer drinking and eating leisurely there.

The clerk and other staff of the restaurant stood there and looked at the guest, their eyes full of various malicious intentions.

Ding Baiying stood at the counter flipping through the ledger, looking back and forth at Zhang Jin.

The soldiers under her command had checked the surroundings and found no other Jinyiwei in ambush. Since this Jinyiwei Baihu was single-handed and didn't carry any weapons, there was nothing to be afraid of.

As time went by, she cared less and less whether the hundred households of Jinyiwei could leave before Guo Zhen arrived, but began to practice several ways in her mind to quickly kill the opponent.

Zhang Jin takes a sip of wine, eats a piece of fried peanut, and then another bite of vegetables or beef in sauce, how long can he procrastinate.In such a stuffy and weird atmosphere, he was the one who seemed the most relaxed.

On the street outside, Miaoxuan, who was disguised as a man, was walking towards Jinling Tower, before she got close, the waiter at the door stepped forward and stopped her: "The shop is about to close, please come back. "

"I made an appointment with your Shopkeeper Ding." Miaoxuan said the code word.

The shop waiter looked around and told him in a low voice: "There was an accident. A family of Jinyiwei was eating inside. Be careful when you go in. From now on, you and shopkeeper Ding are relatives, and we are here to celebrate the festival together."

"Understood." Although Miaoxuan was surprised, she was still relatively calm.

After instructing Miaoxuan, the waiter let her in the shop.

As soon as Miaoxuan stepped into the lobby of Jinling Building, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Zhang Jin thought in his heart that it really came, that the handsome young man waiting for Guo Zhen in Jinling Tower was indeed her.

Miaoxuan also saw the only guest in the lobby. After seeing the other person's appearance, she couldn't help being taken aback, but quickly turned her head and walked to the counter to hide her surprise.

What is he?He is actually a hundred households of Jinyiwei!He won't recognize himself, will he?
Miaoxuan, who was feeling uneasy, walked to the counter, but Ding Baiying saw the uneasiness in her heart, and said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, it's just a hundred households of Jinyiwei."

"I know this person well, I hope he won't recognize me." Miaoxuan frowned slightly.

"You guys know each other?" Ding Baiying was a little surprised when he heard this.

"Well, I met by chance at the back mountain of Yong'an Temple a few days ago." Miaoxuan explained his situation.

Ding Baiying said: "Fortunately, your relationship is not that deep, but this person cannot be kept, I hope you don't mind."

Miaoxuan sighed softly, and shook his head: "It's okay, Duke Ming's important affairs are important, it's a pity that those moving songs are lost."

"Go to the door and wait. When Guo Zhen comes, you can find an excuse to leave first, and you can leave it alone." Ding Baiying patted her hand, "Go home and have a good sleep, and wait until tomorrow , we are one step closer to the success of Ming Gong’s great cause.”

"En." Miaoxuan responded, turned her head and walked towards the door, not daring to look at Zhang Jin again during the process.

Zhang Jin stared at Miaoxuan all the way, he heard the conversation between the two at the counter just now.

Sure enough, compared with other characters, Duke Ming's great cause is what she most wants to protect, or change this cruel world is what she most wants to accomplish.

This is also the reason why Shen Lian sank Miaoxuan into the lake in the film and did not force him to find out who was behind the scenes. She would rather die to protect the only person who can change the world.

All the people who should come have come, the stage has been set up, and the only thing left for this Hongmen Banquet is the arrival of the protagonist.

Will Guo Zhen come as promised?

Ding Baiying, Miaoxuan, and Zhang Jin were all waiting for this result.

After about half a stick of incense, a carriage stopped on the street outside the gate of Jinling Tower.

"Eunuch, we're here." The little eunuch who was driving reported.

Guo Zhen lifted the curtain of the car, got down from the inside, looked up at the wine shop not far in front of him, with a hesitant expression on his face.After a while, he walked towards Jinling Tower.

"You go back first."

"Yes, father-in-law."

Miaoxuan, disguised as a man at the gate of Jinling Tower, enthusiastically welcomes Guo Zhen into the restaurant. Although Guo Zhen is uneasy, he still has an eager smile on his face.

But when Guo Zhen stepped into the Jinling Building and turned around the windshield, he was startled by the guest sitting on the only table in the lobby, and he couldn't help but pause.

He looked at the guest carefully, then turned to look at Miaoxuan, his eyes were full of doubts.

"What's the matter, Eunuch Guo?" Seeing his eyes turning back and forth on Zhang Jin and himself, Miaoxuan couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

"You invited him too?" Guo Zhen asked.

"No, it's normal for the restaurant to have other guests." Miaoxuan forced a smile.

"Eunuch Guo, are you okay?" Zhang Jin put down his wine glass and pointed to the empty seat beside his table, "Why don't you come over for a drink or two?"

Now it was Miaoxuan's turn to be surprised: "Eunuch Guo, do you know each other?"

"This..." Guo Zhen didn't know what to say, the situation of this banquet was beyond his expectation.

"Eunuch Guo, this way please, I have asked the store to prepare good dishes and drinks." Miaoxuan said again.

Guo Zhen looked at Zhang Jin, and finally followed Miaoxuan to the empty table next to him and sat down.

"Grandfather, please wait a moment. I'll go and see the dishes specially prepared for you." After pouring tea for Guo Zhen, Miaoxuan smiled politely, got up and walked towards the back kitchen.

Zhang Jin suddenly heard the sound of closing the door, and after a while, saw the waiter walking out from behind the screen at the door, wiping his hands on the cleaning cloth, and staring at himself unkindly.

He turned his head and said to Guo Zhen who had just sat down: "Eunuch Guo, you should come to my table, lest I have no time to protect you."

When Guo Zhen heard this, he quickly got up and sat next to him, with worry written all over his face, he lowered his voice and said, "Can you really save my life?"

Zhang Jin poured him a glass of wine and smiled: "Drink a glass of wine first to calm the shock. If I can't save your life, then what am I here to do? Walk the road to Huangquan with you?"

Guo Zhen picked up the wine glass and drank it down, and his mentality seemed to be calmer: "That's good."

Zhang Jin asked curiously: "Eunuch Guo, didn't I remind you before, why did you come to Jinling Tower for an appointment?"

Guo Zhen sighed and said: "It's not that I want to come. My residence outside the palace has already been targeted by people. If I escape, I will die. It's better to come and have a look at the Hongmen Banquet. Maybe there is still a glimmer of life."

Zhang Jin suddenly nodded, no wonder, with Lu Wenzhao's psychic plan, he must be fully prepared.It is best to pretend to rob money and kill one's life in Jinling Tower. If Guo Zhen senses the danger and wants to escape, there is another plan to silence him.

After Guo Zhen drank two glasses of wine, he suddenly found a problem. He looked at Zhang Jin, who was empty-handed: "Why don't you bring a weapon? What if there is a fight later?"

Zhang Jin squeezed his wine glass and said with a faint smile: "To deal with these people, it doesn't matter whether you have weapons or not, as long as you have wine."

"All you need is wine? What do you mean?" Guo Zhen was stunned by these words, could it still be used to kill the enemy?
Zhang Jin didn't explain that much to him. He turned his head to look at the four jars of unopened soju on the table.

Whoa!

The curtain of the back kitchen was lifted, Ding Baiying walked in first, and behind him several dead men filed in, circled around and surrounded Zhang Jin and Guo Zhen.

Seeing this scene, Guo Zhen stood up in shock: "Master Ding, you are..."

Ding Baiying said expressionlessly, "Eunuch Guo, I'm sorry."

As he said that, he pulled out the Qi Family Knife in his hand, the blade was out of the sheath, and the cold light was like a crescent moon, approaching Guo Zhen's head and neck!
There was no warning when she made a move, Guo Zhen couldn't react in time even though he had some martial arts in his body, his dilated pupils due to fear reflected the rapidly approaching sharp knife light.

Boom!

The sharp piece of porcelain scraped across his cheek, leaving a scar that was not deep and not shallow, and it took a while for blood to ooze out.

Guo Zhen wiped his face and opened his hand to see that it was full of blood.

At this time, he suddenly woke up, and wanted to retreat, but he tripped over the bench under his feet, staggered and fell on the table, and knocked over a lot of dishes!
