The Great Seminary

Chapter 152: The Wrath of the Ancient Gods (Part )
Faced with Halifah's unusually serious warning.

Zhang Gui had a strange expression on his face.

"Of course I understand.

What you mean is, I just hope I'm not a dumber idiot than the descendant of the 'Antonia' family, who are known throughout Xihezhou for their stupidity.

We should never fight against the sleeping ancient god of the West on the giant snake head island."

Halifa thought he was a little angry because of what she said, so she softened her voice and nodded slightly.
"I'm not saying you're stupid, I'm just using a metaphor.

And my dear general, please do not think that if a misfortune does not come to the world for a long time, you will not encounter it.

Believe me.

The bigger the city built by Prince Zhen, the more likely the sleeping ancient god will wake up briefly and become angry!
Until the day of destruction!
As mortals, we can never predict the will of the gods.

That's why my sister hurriedly asked me to come find you as soon as she found out everything.

I bring you these warnings."

"But this ancient Western god whom you fear so much is already dead.

And I am His successor.

I am the current owner of Longshou Island, so your trip is completely in vain."

Zhang Gui had an idea in his mind when he heard this, but he said with great gratitude:

“So that’s it.

The saying "The secrets of Tonoyo belong to the people of Nishigasu" is indeed true.

A secret that even the prince of the Eastern Ming Song Kingdom and the powerful man who is suspected to be a legendary professional do not know.

You two sisters are smart and beautiful, but ordinary businessmen."

"This isn't a secret that anyone can know.

The entire 'Civilized Vanguard City', including the Meat Mountain and the Sacred Hymn, would not exceed a hundred people.

After all, for us Xihe people, the truth about gods is a valuable treasure.

It will never spread easily.

Frankly speaking, if we had not formed a long-term trading partnership.

My sister would never let me travel across the entire Longshou Island to tell you these secrets.

Just saying.

Business is often surprisingly good during the New Year, and you have to visit friends and maintain your network.

My sister asked if you could provide more 'food pills'?"

"of course can."

Regardless of whether Halifa's warning was useless or not, Zhang Gui had to appreciate it and could only agree to her "request".

But I still couldn't help but complain.
"But Ms. Halifah, couldn't you have spoken about Pollis's request later?

Let me experience the greatness of friendship for a little longer."

After delivering her sister's warning to Zhang Gui, Halifa hurriedly said goodbye and left.

I plan to take the newly opened noon passenger ferry back to the Civilization Pioneer City.

It was a tradition to go to the New God Yesaya Church on New Year's Eve with my sister to attend the 'evening mass'.

It is said that this is the only religious activity that the two sisters perform once a year, and it has been going on for more than 20 years since Halifah was old enough to understand things.

It would be a pity to make an exception.

After that, time passed and it was New Year's Eve.

Zhang Gui and Lu Zhenduan, wearing new shoes, new clothes, and black mink hats, were invited to the Laoheimu Town Office to celebrate the New Year's Eve.

At this time, the entire office was brightly lit.

There are constant firecrackers and laughter.

In each room, large round tables and armchairs were arranged in an orderly manner.

The table was filled with both land and sea food, and the drinks were all aged fine wines.

Standing in the courtyard as bright as day, with the bright moonlight above my head.

Although everyone around was a stranger, no one would act arrogantly on New Year's Eve.

Everyone had a smile on their face.

When their eyes meet in the air, they will inevitably bow to each other and greet each other.

The whole atmosphere was harmonious and peaceful, making people feel at ease. In addition to Zhang Gui's surprise attack on Wangbei Village on a rainy night during the New Year, he also laid the foundation of the True Dragon Kingdom overseas.

We stayed up all night with my mother and my uncle's relatives, eating a small meal of noodles and meat dumplings.

I have never had such a lively banquet before. It feels a bit like the annual meeting in my previous life.

Lü Zhenduan, who was standing by, caught a glimpse of his beaming face and leaned over to say with a smile:
"How about Yanglonghu? Although His Royal Highness Prince Zhen ordered you to come to the outer island to celebrate the New Year.

But this preparation is still thoughtful and attentive.”

"The powerful Huopo Yang Mansion, as well as the three ancient families of Dongyuezhou, Liang, Chen, and Chu, came to visit, pay a visit, and then turned around and left the next day.

Who dares to stop me and who dares to take responsibility in "Xingzai"?

Instead, they all sent him off respectfully.

It is said that many people are very grateful that they did not stay to disrupt tomorrow's "small court meeting" because of their anger towards the young master of the Yang Mansion... "

"Silence.

The young master of the Huopoyang Mansion is a childhood friend of His Royal Highness Prince Zhen, and they are the closest.

Don’t talk nonsense on New Year’s Day.”

Seeing that Zhang Gui was being stubborn, Lu Zhenduan quickly stopped him from speaking.

Looking around, I found a young eunuch who I had just made friends with in the past few days.

"Liu Xiaojian, look where Yang Longhu and I are sitting at the table."

"It turns out that it is Lord Lu and Li Yanglonghu who are here. Please follow me."

The young eunuch looked quite clever, as if he had memorized all the distinguished guests.

He immediately led Lu Zhenduan and Zhang Gui to a room at the top, which had only two round tables.

Lu Zhenduan was given the seat of host, while Zhang Gui took the seat of guest of honor.

Don’t underestimate it as it’s just a seat for a meal.

While competing with the Han and Jin dynasties for the title of "state of etiquette," the Ming and Song dynasties had a subtle significance.

Lu Zhenduan obviously didn't expect that he could sit in this position, and he was immediately cheered up.

The looks people around him gave him did change slightly.

Zhang Gui smiled and said softly:
"Very well, Lao Lu. After only three or five days on the island, you've already regained your former glory. Now you're sitting at the head of the table, representing the 'Xingzai', to receive our guests."

"Don't joke, aren't you also the guest of honor? It's all the same, same, same."

Lu Zhenduan was obviously very proud in his heart, but he didn't want others to see it, and wanted to appear indifferent to fame and fortune.

The more he acted like this, the more Zhang Gui teased him.

He shook his head and said:

"The host's seat is where the 'host' of the banquet sits.

No matter how honorable the guest of honor is, he is still a "guest".

One is clearly one of us, and the other is just an important guest.

How can it be the same?"

When Lu Zhenduan heard this, he just smiled and said nothing. When another person came to the table, he really acted like the host and started to greet them.

The other guests also showed great respect to him.

Even if they heard Zhang Gui's name, they would offer a toast to this general who opened the Dragon and Tiger Army and conquered the Nine Islands.

But we will also say goodbye after the toast.

The flattery mainly revolved around Lu Zhenduan, who claimed to be a student of the Imperial College and the "master" of Zhen Wangxing's staff.

In this way, three rounds of wine were served and five kinds of dishes were served.

Calculate the time.

The real host, King Zhen, will come out soon and toast to everyone to celebrate the New Year.

Then we ate dumplings together.

If you really want to stay up till the New Year, you can stay here, drink, chat and enjoy the moon.

If you are tired, you can just leave and it will no longer be considered rude.

Zhang Gui ate and drank his fill, and began to deal with people;
While waiting for King Zhen to show up, complete the procedure, and then leave.

But King Zhen never showed up, no matter how long he waited.
