Chapter 338: Wedding Banquet Incident, Old Friend! (Two in One)
After saying hello, the four of them walked together to the Su Mansion and the banquet venue.
Originally, Song Changming wanted to ask Jiang He about Su Qingqing.
After all, it was he who took Su Qingqing away that year, and he was also acquainted with Su Qingqing's biological mother, the fox demon, so he must know a lot.
But at this occasion, and in the Su family, with many people and eyes, he couldn't ask directly.
"General, you are going there." After passing through several gardens, the servants on the road wanted to lead Song Changming to another banquet hall originally scheduled.
The Su family held a grand banquet, and the banquet hall was divided into several places.
People of different identities naturally went to different places.
As a member of the Changsheng Jiang family and a close friend of Su Fengye, Jiang He naturally went to the main hall.
And Song Changming could only go to the side hall.
At this time, before Jiang He could speak, the steward of the Su family who led Jiang He seemed to be of high status. He was quick-witted and pulled the servant who led Song Changming over and reprimanded him.
Then he smiled at Song Changming and said, "Since the general and Mr. Jiang know each other and meet again, they should go to the main hall to drink together."
Jiang He smiled and nodded after hearing this. He was thinking this, and nodded to Song Changming and said, "Young friend, let's go together."
"Okay, thanks to Mr. Jiang, I can drink better wine today." Song Changming didn't care and agreed.
The main hall was the most magnificent, comparable to the palace.
The tables and desks carved with gold and jade were neatly arranged in an orderly manner. Jiang He was of prominent status and background, so he was directly arranged in one of the best guest seats.
Song Changming, Liu Xiangnan, and Zhao Dongming sat at the table behind Jiang He. They were relatively inconspicuous, which made it convenient for them to meet and drink and talk together.
"Haha, Jiang He, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you?"
Song Changming had just sat down when he saw Su Fengye coming quickly and bowing to Jiang He.
"Traveling around the nine states is not as good as your peach blossoms, Fengye." Jiang He stood up and smiled lightly.
But his smile seemed to be mixed with some unknown meaning.
Su Fengye looked a little unnatural when he heard this. He sighed lightly and whispered: "Jiang He, the burden of the family fell, and I have no choice."
"Feng Ye, this explanation is for the wrong person." Jiang He shook his head and said, his tone was still flat.
The two people talked very softly, and I am afraid that only Song Changming and the other three behind could barely hear it.
"I know" Su Fengye smiled bitterly and understood what the other party meant.
"But, how could she give me a chance to explain?"
Jiang He didn't say anything more.
"No matter what, I'm glad you can come today." Su Fengye picked up the wine on the table and said to Jiang He.
"There are not many close friends in life. I was not the one who broke off the friendship back then, so I have to come." Jiang He snorted.
"You, although you still consider me a good friend, you are quite dissatisfied with me in your heart," Su Fengye said helplessly.
"That's because of you, I lost a close friend." Jiang He said righteously.
"Okay, okay, it's all my fault."
"."
Song Changming was a little surprised when listening to the conversation between the two. Jiang He, who was always mature and calm like an old immortal, changed his usual speaking style when facing Su Fengye.
He was less mysterious and more down-to-earth.
He and Su Fengye were peers, and it was obvious that they had a close relationship. There was not much scruple when talking and chatting, just like a close friend who had experienced many things.
Even though the two were talking in an obscure way, he could still hear what they were talking about, perhaps it was what happened back then.
The ones who broke off their relationship should be Su Fengye and his fox demon wife.
Jiang He, Su Fengye and the fox demon were all close friends, so he knew very well what happened.
Jiang He was dissatisfied with Su Fengye for what happened back then.
He was not too willing to come to this wedding today.
"General Song, I never thought that you and Brother Jiang knew each other. Can my knife be used easily?" Su Fengye suddenly changed the subject and smiled at Song Changming at the back table.
"I haven't thanked you in person for the gift. This knife is very good." Song Changming bowed.
"That's good." Su Fengye nodded.
After drinking a glass of wine with Jiang He, Su Fengye, who had greeted him, did not stay for long. He was the protagonist of today's wedding and had other things to do.
Song Changming also took a sip of wine.
It must be said that the wine that the Su family used to entertain guests was truly unique.
After drinking it, I felt a warm current flowing through my body, and my spirit and energy were slightly enhanced. It was not an ordinary wine.
He also had a wine shop business under his command, and now it was run in a decent manner under the management of Song Ping'an, and several new wines had been introduced.
But compared with the pot of wine in front of him, it was still far behind.
"Good wine!" Zhao Dongming, who was standing aside, had already drunk half a pot of wine and was very happy.
Liu Xiangnan seemed to be in a normal mood, and he didn't drink the wine very happily.
He suddenly said, "Changming, how sad Qingqing will be when she knows that this person is getting married this time."
Before that, he had seen Su Qingqing off all the way and escorted her to Yuanzhou.
After getting familiar with her along the way, he also felt sympathy and pity for Su Qingqing, the poor child.
Like Jiang He, this marriage also made him really uncomfortable.
"Time will dilute everything, including the friendship between close relatives." Song Changming was silent for a while, and also sighed.
"That being said." Liu Xiangnan shook his head, and suddenly looked at Song Changming and said: "In the future, love her more. After all, besides her biological father and mother, you are the closest person to her."
"Of course." Song Changming didn't say much.
He wanted to test Su Fengye's attitude. If he revealed some information about Su Qingqing, he didn't know how the groom would react.
But through the conversation between Jiang He and Su Fengye just now, he knew that even if he did so, it was likely that nothing would change.
Su Fengye was Su Qingqing's biological father, but he was also the core figure of the Su family, shouldering the heavy burden of revitalizing the Su family.
Compared with his own small family, he might care more about the honor and disgrace of the Su family.
Therefore, he directly gave up his original plan.
"Sir, is Qingqing doing well with her mother?" Song Changming asked Jiang He.
Although he had corresponded with Su Qingqing, he also wanted to hear what Jiang He said.
"Very well, her mother loves Qingqing as much as you do, don't worry." Jiang He replied.
"That's good." Song Changming nodded and felt relieved.
As time passed, more and more guests were in the main hall.
Everyone was bright and beautiful, most of them were old, and there were very few young people.
Although Song Changming was sixty-three years old, he was still a young person in the main hall.
No wonder Jiang He kept calling him "young friend".
It was estimated that more than 80% of the people present were one or two hundred years old. For example, the Changsheng family was normal to live for hundreds of years.
Being over sixty years old was really nothing in the human martial arts world.
The guests were toasting and the atmosphere was gradually getting lively.
During this time, Song Changming glanced and saw some familiar faces.
For example, their commander-in-chief Wang Tianshuang, and some other commander-level figures in the army that he had met, were also sitting here.
They were not wearing commander-in-chief's armor, but only wearing private clothes. They did not represent the royal military, but the noble families behind them.
And often a noble family would come with several core members of the family, forming a guest group, giving enough face to the Changsheng Su family.
Those military commanders may not even be the highest-ranking people in their respective families. They are only about the same as Song Changming. They sit in the back seats, which shows how important the guests in the main hall are.
"Mr. Jiang, I didn't expect you to come so early. I'm sorry for being so inconsiderate. Please forgive me." Su Shangyu walked into the main hall and walked quickly towards Jiang He, bowing and saying politely.
"It's okay. There is plenty of wine and delicious dishes. It's very comprehensive." Jiang He waved his hand.
"Haha, that's good, that's good." Su Shangyu accompanied Jiang He and greeted him.
As for Song Changming and the other two in the back, they were not in the eyes of this Su family member.
Song Changming was also very idle. It was best if no one paid attention to him. Today, he just needed to eat good wine and good food.
However, he suddenly felt a burning gaze falling on him, and he didn't move away for a long time.
Song Changming raised his eyes and looked, and met a pair of cold eyes.
In a corner of the main hall, the person who noticed Song Changming was none other than Zhao Zun, a member of the Zhao family's guest group.
Because of the Zhao Linxin incident, this person had a fierce conflict with Song Changming, Xing Tiexin and Yang Zhen a year ago.
In the end, Zhao Zun apologized and ended the incident.
Now a year has passed, and it is obvious that the other party has not completely let it go, and still holds the resentment of losing his son on Song Changming and others.
Especially Song Changming, who failed to save Zhao Linxin at that time.
Since that incident, this is also the first time Song Changming has seen Zhao Zun again. He frowned in his heart, but he didn't take it too seriously.
After all, Zhao Zun has been bound by the family for more than a year and has not done anything wrong.
Now the other party just glanced at him, and he can't do anything.
"The good time has come!"
Suddenly, there was a shout outside the hall, and the groom Su Fengye and the bride Gu Xinyue both walked in.
There was laughter and congratulations in the hall.
According to the wedding process, it began to be arranged.
On the high seat, there are many elders of the Su family, including the head and mother of the Su family, who are also Su Fengye's biological father and mother!
Each of them has a strong aura. Even if Song Changming sits closer, he can hardly estimate the strength of these elders of the Su family. He just feels that they are unfathomable, which makes him feel awe-inspiring.
"I'm afraid that those marshals in the army are not as good as these old bones of immortality!" Song Changming said in his heart.
On weekdays, the Su family does not show off their talents. It is even said that the Su family is declining and decadent, but they are still an immortal family after all!
This immortal heritage is still there. God knows how many hundreds of years old monsters are hidden in this huge Su family!
Before the Su family took off the word "eternal" and became an ordinary family, no one would underestimate them.
"It's really eye-opening," Song Changming retracted his gaze and murmured.
"This is the family of immortality!"
Song Changming even wondered whether it was the royal government or the transcendent Su family that was more powerful in Cuibai Road.
When he thought of the cooperation of the King Cui in deploying troops and generals just to help the Su family.
It was really hard to say.
"Why didn't anyone come from the Fengzhou's immortal Gu family?" Song Changming said softly, somewhat puzzled.
Usually, when a young lady gets married, the family will always bring some elders.
But now, only Gu Xinyue came from the Gu family, and there was no accompanying maid.
"My friend, you don't know that this little girl's life experience is also quite miserable. Most of her relatives died in a disaster. Even she herself was saved by Brother Feng Ye.
Speaking of this marriage, the seeds were planted at that time.
Besides, she is not the direct descendant of the Gu family, but only a collateral branch. The Gu family should not care much about this marriage, after all, the Su family is now."
Jiang He replied a few words, shook his head at the end, and did not say anything more.
But Song Changming more or less understood the situation.
Although Gu Xinyue is a member of the Gu family, she has no status in the family after the misfortune.
If not, it would not be so easy for her to travel thousands of miles to marry Su Fengye.
"So that's the case. This little girl is also a poor person." Liu Xiangnan heard this and his mood became a little complicated. He couldn't help but look at the bride again.
"It seems that being in the Changsheng family may not necessarily lead to happiness." Song Changming couldn't help but sighed.
"That's natural. "Jiang He narrowed his eyes and stroked his beard.
He knew this best.
He had lived for nearly two hundred years and had seen many things in the family.
He had seen generations of young heroes rise or fall.
No matter how powerful a family is, it is impossible to protect every member of the family to thrive and everything goes smoothly.
There are also poor people like Gu Xinyue in the Changsheng family.
The process of the wedding ceremony continued. The family was the most complicated in this regard. From morning to sunset, this process was uninterrupted.
"Bow to heaven and earth."
Until the important At this moment, Jiang He, who was drinking at the table, seemed to have noticed something, and the wine glass he picked up suddenly stopped.
His calm expression changed, and finally turned into a sigh.
"Why, why?"
The next moment, a strange wind blew in from outside the mansion.
It blew over the courtyard wall, the garden corridor, the pavilions and waterside pavilions.
Finally, it blew into the main hall banquet.
Many elders of the Su family, including Su Fengye, changed their expressions.
Some martial arts masters with keen perception in other families also felt that the wind was wrong.
"Su Fengye, you really have no heart! "
Another gust of wind blew, blowing the curtains in the main hall and extinguishing the candlelight.
Along with this gust of wind, there was also a cold sound coming into the main hall.
Song Changming put down the wine glass, glanced at Jiang He in front of him, and turned his head to look outside the hall.
In his perception, this gust of wind was mixed with a faint demonic aura.
This is a gust of demonic wind!
Undoubtedly, the visitor is a demon.
However, where did the demon come from, and how dare they not only sneak into the main city of Cuibai, but also dare to enter the Changsheng Su family mansion!
It sounds a bit far-fetched.
Looking at Su Fengye who turned around suddenly with a stunned face, Song Changming had some guesses.
"Who is this demon, dare to come here to cause trouble!" A general stood up and shouted.
"Xue'er." Su Fengye's lips trembled slightly.
Outside the main hall, there was suddenly a beautiful figure in the wind.
