Chapter 258 There Are Guests Upstairs, Please Come Downstairs, Prince

Longjiang Taibai Residence, the No. 1 building in the world, was very lively today. The whole building was washed twice and all the servants and governors in the building put on new clothes.

Probably because today is the day when Prince Jiang Luo of Great Xia is hosting a banquet for guests.

After all, Taibaiju was located in Daxia, so it still paid enough respect to the legitimate son and crown prince.

And the guests invited today are not simple. They are not only dignitaries of the Xia Kingdom, but also famous families of the Jin Kingdom.

"You should pay attention. Today's banquet hosted by Prince Xia is related to the war between the Four Kingdoms. People in the building should be careful in their words and deeds today and not cause unnecessary trouble."

Shopkeeper Yun solemnly ordered.

Among the people who agreed, someone said: "Shopkeeper, the Crown Prince of Xia is considered a first-class dignitary in this world. The 108 ordinary seats have been decided today. Should they be placed on the seventh floor?"

Shopkeeper Yun shook his head: "It should be good, but not today."

The man was stunned for a moment: "Prince Xia deserves to be on the seventh floor..."

Shopkeeper Yun smiled slowly: "It is indeed worthy, but there is someone who is more worthy today..."

Soon, as it was approaching noon, the guests for the prince's banquet had arrived one after another, and the prince's driver also arrived at Taibaiju.

The curtain of the luxurious carriage was opened, and a man in a bright yellow robe slowly got out of the car, stepping on the slave's back.

This man was about thirty years old, with a short beard under his chin, gloomy eyes, and a slightly blue complexion.

Shopkeeper Yun knew that this person was the crown prince of Daxia - the eldest son Jiang Luo. He hurriedly took a few steps forward, bowed and said, "Taibaiju welcomes His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Jiang Luo looked at him and nodded slightly: "Shopkeeper Yun, I'm sorry for disturbing you today."

Shopkeeper Yun cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness is a distinguished guest, how can you say that you are disturbing me? Taibai is here to welcome guests from all over the world. It is rare for Your Highness to think highly of you. I am honored to do so."

He is good at talking, and a smile appeared on Jiang Luo's gloomy face: "Shopkeeper Yun, don't be too humble, Taibaiju is known as the best restaurant in the world, the reputation of the North and South banquet spreads all over the world, the thirty-six governors know the world affairs, your boss is more He has an extraordinary origin, and I admire him very much."

Shopkeeper Yun hurriedly said: "Taibaiju is just a restaurant after all, how can it deserve such high praise from His Highness? Today, Your Highness is here. We have specially prepared the best ingredients and served His Highness a full banquet from the north to the south. I only hope that His Highness will enjoy himself."

Jiang Luo smiled slightly: "Okay, I'm ready."

Shopkeeper Yun bowed and said, "Your Highness, please go to the sixth floor."

Um? Just as Jiang Luo lifted his steps, he suddenly stopped, looked at Shopkeeper Yun and frowned, "Shopkeeper Yun, what did you say?"

Shopkeeper Yun lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, please go to the sixth floor."

Jiang Luo suddenly had a look of anger on his face, and he slowly retracted his steps.

His eyes narrowed slightly and he looked at Shopkeeper Yun: "My prince remembers that it seems to be the seventh floor."

Shopkeeper Yun said respectfully: "I'm really sorry, the seventh floor has been assigned, and I have already informed the people sent by His Highness. Could it be that he didn't tell His Highness?"

Jiang Luo looked increasingly unhappy: "I did say that, but do I think others should give in?"

Shopkeeper Yun didn't even panic: "Your Majesty has a distinguished status, and if it were normal, you should be like this. But today, there is indeed some inconvenience... Please forgive me..."

"Inconvenience?" Jiang Luo's voice had become a little cold: "Could it be that my father is on the seventh floor?"

"It's not the king." Shopkeeper Yun was still very respectful.

"Oh? That's interesting. In this Daxia territory, besides my father, the queen and my queen, is there anyone who is more suitable for the seventh level than this prince?"

Shopkeeper Yun said slowly: "That's not the case. I guess this person has an agreement with me, Taibaiju. As long as he comes, he will treat guests on the seventh floor. This is Taibaiju's custom. Please forgive me."

"Routine?" Jiang Luo said coldly: "How come this prince has never heard of it?"

"This..." Shopkeeper Yun said, "But people don't come here very often. They only came twice in three years, so many people don't know about it."

Jiang Luo looked very unhappy: "Oh, there is such a person in Daxia, and he actually wants to drink on top of my crown prince's head?"

Shopkeeper Yun said calmly: "His Royal Highness, this person is not from Daxia. To be honest, I have only met him twice. I don't know his origins. Every time he comes, he is personally received by the proprietor."

Jiang Luo's eyes were cold: "Speaking of which, I have never seen your proprietor."

Shopkeeper Yun said: "The proprietor...has already gone to greet that person."

"Who is it? I am very interested in him--"

The sullenness in his voice was audible to everyone.

Shopkeeper Yun said: "He is a fisherman..."

"Yu Lang?" Jiang Luo sneered: "Are you humiliating my son? You're just a fisherman..."

Suddenly, his voice stopped, and a strange look gradually appeared on his face: "Yu Lang?"

"Yu Lang." Shopkeeper Yun still held his fists and looked respectful.

Jiang Luo suddenly fell silent, narrowed his eyes slightly, and stared at Shopkeeper Yun for a long time.

"He...should be fishing in Canglan."

Shopkeeper Yun said: "...I also went fishing in Longjiang..."

Jiang Luo's expression changed rapidly and imperceptibly.

"...That person hasn't shown up for a long time."

Shopkeeper Yun just cupped his fists and bowed, but did not speak.

Jiang Luo suddenly smiled and said: "That's fine. After all, you are a guest from afar. I am a country of great etiquette, so I should be more modest."

Shopkeeper Yun bowed deeply: "Your Highness is generous."

Jiang Luo waved his hand slightly: "But, can I propose a toast?"

Shopkeeper Yun said: "I'm here to inquire. However, that person has told me that during this period, he wants to hide in peace and don't want more people to know his whereabouts..."

Jiang Luo laughed and said: "I know this well, and the law of this matter will not be spread to the six ears."

"Thank you, my prince."

——

"Dad!" A young man saw Jiang Luo enter the room, walked up with dissatisfaction and said: "Dad, you are finally here. This Taibaiju is too arrogant, and actually let us eat on the sixth floor..."

Jiang Luo waved his hand: "How about the sixth floor? You are so young and competitive!"

The young man was stunned: "But, it is obviously the seventh floor..."

Jiang Luo said: "The seventh floor is for the world's top figures, and father can go up. Do we have to compete with father?"

The young man was stunned for a moment, always feeling that something was wrong, but he didn't dare to refute.

"The sixth floor is very good, not too high or too low, and it won't cause criticism, so let's stay here. Shu'er, go downstairs quickly to receive the guests."

"Yes..." The young man got up and went downstairs with a puzzled look.

Many guests came to greet Jiang Luo.

Originally, they also had doubts, but after hearing what Jiang Luo said just now, they felt that Jiang Luo was quite broad-minded, and they didn't think much about it.

Jiang Luo smiled and greeted everyone one by one, and told them to prepare for the feast.

Jiang Luo's son Jiang Shu went downstairs to welcome the guests one by one, but he always felt something was wrong. His father had clearly said that he wanted the seventh floor, and if there were other people, he would let them leave. But why did it suddenly change now?

Just as he was wondering, he suddenly saw three people approaching, talking and laughing.

The one in the middle was a young man in white clothes, with long hair casually scattered, and just tied with a simple hairband.

On the left was a tall man wearing a golden mask.

On the right... the man was dressed in cloth and had gray hair. He looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was.
