Chapter 54: The City Lord's Birthday Banquet
However, Qingyang City is still under construction, and if it can be built, even if it is not as huge as this Jiuhua City, it is not too different.
When he saw the huge flow of people coming and going at the city gate, Chen Tian suddenly realized why Qiu Ya was able to recognize that he was not from this place, and as far as he could see, almost everyone was wearing light and plain clothes, even the soldiers guarding the city gate were no exception, they were also wearing white armor.
And his cyan clothes look a little unusual. Pedestrians kept looking at them in amazement. And there was respect in their eyes!
Although the surprise in Chen Tian's eyes flashed, he was still caught by the careful Qiu Ya, and immediately showed a light smile: "Let's go, when I return to the family, I will definitely thank you." ”
"You people in Jiuhua City all wear clothes of one color?" Chen Tian looked a little uncomfortable, and asked Qiu Ya beside him in a low voice
Qiu Ya pursed her lips and smiled: "This is not only the case for us in Jiuhua City, but also in the entire Heavenly Sword Kingdom. ”
As soon as the words came out, Chen Tian was stunned: "Don't you think it's boring?"
Qiu Ya's expression was straight, and she said solemnly: "Everyone in our Heavenly Sword Country practices swordsmanship, and the ultimate dream of the countrymen is to be able to pursue the pinnacle of swordsmanship!
Chen Tian observed the words, his heart sank, and he nodded lightly. From Qiu Ya's tone, it can be seen that the Heavenly Sword Kingdom worships the way of the sword, and it is no wonder that it is named after the sword!
The two finally came to a majestic mansion, with two stone lions sitting on the left and right, with fierce eyes like looking around. There were also two groups of soldiers at the door. There is a big red plaque hanging above the door of the house, with three big characters written on it, full of domineering!
Chen Tian's cheeks twitched: "City Lord's Mansion, are you from the City Lord's Mansion?" Qiu Ya nodded, a little embarrassed that she didn't tell Chen Tian the truth.
"Then your father is ......"
"My father is the city lord of Jiuhua City!"
"Now that Miss Qiu has arrived home safely, then I will leave now" Chen Tian is leaving, this Qiu Ya is a person from the City Lord's Mansion, and it is better not to disturb herself as a foreigner.
Qiu Ya knew Chen Tian's precautions, and was just about to open her mouth to stop her, when a half-old man with kind eyebrows walked out of the door and walked towards her: "County Lord, you are finally back, uh...... Young master, what's the matter?"
"Xiaofeng is poisoned, I'll take Xiaofeng to see my father first, Fu Bo, please invite this benefactor back to the mansion!" Qiu Ya smiled and left first! With Fu Bo here, Chen Tian will definitely not be able to leave.
When Fu Bo saw Chen Tian's clothes, he was stunned for a moment, but in a blink of an eye, he changed his expression to a smile and said: "Little brother, it turned out to be the benefactor of the county lord of my family, so please come in quickly, so that others will mistakenly think that it is not good for my Qiu family to be abrupt little brother" After speaking, he made a gesture of please
Chen Tian still wanted to excuse himself, but the old man directly said: "Please also ask the little brother not to embarrass the old and decayed subordinates, otherwise the county lord will be punished, and it is not something we can bear."
The corners of Chen Tian's eyes twitched, no matter how he looked at Qiu Ya, he didn't look like the kind of person who didn't distinguish between black and white, but this old man was pretending to be pitiful to him here. Helplessly, Chen Tian still respected the old man, so he had to walk into this magnificent city lord's mansion.
Fu Bo arranged Chen Tian in a room, told the people outside if he needed anything, and left in a hurry. Chen Tian looked out through the crack in the door, and secretly smacked his tongue, the outside place was not big, just a small single courtyard, and it was heavily guarded.
Forget it, if you come here, you will be safe, Chen Tian is bored, so he will hurry up and start cultivating.
Early the next morning, Qiu Ya arrived, followed by several maids, holding a white robe, and some gorgeous jade and other ornaments, Chen Tian looked at Qiu Ya in confusion.
The latter smiled heartily and said, "Brother Chen is a guest from afar, but since he has come to the Heavenly Sword Country, it is best to follow the customs of the locals to avoid unnecessary trouble."
"I know this, I just need clothes, and I don't need anything else. "Chen Tian doesn't like those cliché things.
"You saved me and Xiaofeng, my father wants to thank you personally, these are specially prepared for you, after they wash you, come with me" Qiu Yawan smiled, and walked out without waiting for Chen Tian to respond
Then those maids stepped forward one by one to serve him, where could Chen Tian stand it, waved his hand again and again, and insisted on getting it himself, but although those maids were not high, they were not afraid of the living, and they had to serve, Chen Tian couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to be served awkwardly.
After coming out, Chen Tian's black hair was tied behind his head, white clothes and white boots, with his tender skin, handsome and extraordinary, like a rich boy. Qiu Ya was stunned for a moment, and quipped: "I didn't expect Brother Chen to be so beautiful, he really doesn't lose the beauty of my city lord's mansion."
Chen Tian glanced at her, did not dwell on this matter, and then he followed Qiu Ya all the way through the layers of defense, and walked towards the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion, on the way he asked about Qiu Feng's injury, there was a pharmacist from the City Lord's Mansion, Qiu Feng's poison had been unraveled, and he only needed to recuperate.
This backyard is huge, there are all kinds of city models everywhere, and the spiritual power is also okay, there is a trickle here, surrounding many models, the two came to a model to stand still, a middle-aged man stood with his hands in his hands, looking at the model in front of him in a daze, the middle-aged man was wearing a white cloak, tall, extremely strong, the most important thing is that Chen Tian felt a sense of oppression that he had never felt from the other party, not only from strength, but also with an iron-blooded breath!
Seeing that the city lord's dress should be from a military background, no wonder even his daughter is so bold and man-like, but this son seems to be a little embarrassed.
Qiu Ya said respectfully: "Father, this is the benefactor who saved me and Xiaofeng in the Luoyun Mountain Range. ”
Chen Tian came back to his senses, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "Senior Chen Tian, I have seen the Lord of Qiu City. ”
The middle-aged man turned around when he heard this, his eyebrows were thick, his face was resolute, and there seemed to be a strong evil aura in his eyes, his appearance was quite similar to the autumn wind, and he glanced at Chen Tian: "Hehe, Qiu Hao, the city lord of Xia Jiuhua City, thank you little brother for saving the dog and the little girl."
"The seniors are polite, this matter is a matter of effort, and this time it is really a matter of disturbing the juniors to be upset. Chen Tian said in a worded manner, very careful, although he didn't know the strength of this Jiuhua City City Lord, but it should be similar to the Heavenly Wind Kingdom, every city lord level figure is the Jade Bone Realm, not to mention that he is still the city lord of a county city, in front of such a person, Chen Tian has to be careful.
Cliché greetings are inevitable, and Chen Tian copes with them one by one. Qiu Ya stood aside and occasionally said a word.
"I heard Xiao Ya say that the little brother is not a native before, so I don't know what happened to my Heavenly Sword Country?" Qiu Hao suddenly stared at Chen Tian with his eyes like a sword and asked.
"The younger generation has been cultivating in the family since childhood, and this time with the consent of the family, he traveled to the Nine Kingdoms to see the style of the world" Chen Tian said this, and even he felt that he should really do this.
Qiu Ya's face was strange, a little puzzled, a hint of strange color flashed in Qiu Hao's eyes, and he suddenly laughed and said: "Haha, the little brother has such a mind, so I admire it."
Not long after the three of them talked, Qiu Ya took Chen Tian away, thinking of saying goodbye, but Qiu Hao insisted on letting him attend the birthday banquet three days later, and Chen Tian had to stay, but his residence was arranged to another place, which made Chen Tian puzzled.
After Chen Tian left, in the backyard, an old man walked out from behind the rockery and came to Qiu Hao's side.
"This son is extremely vigilant, and he didn't ask anything substantial, did you say it could be him?" The smile on Qiu Hao's face was gone, and he squinted his eyes and asked in a condensed voice.
"The old man can't say for sure about this, but how could the Heavenly Wind Kingdom send a little doll over?" the old man stared at the direction in which Chen Tian had left, shook his head and said
"According to Xiao Ya, the three people who attacked and killed them used extremely powerful arrows, and the quality was not low, this was a secret weapon unique to the Azure Liu Clan! It's not easy," Qiu Hao's thick eyebrows locked together, and he suddenly spoke
"Ordered Huo Shi to pay close attention to every grass and tree in the city, and make a list of all the new masters in a month for me. In addition, this time there will be one more link to the birthday banquet, give me a test of his strength!"
"Yes"
......
Chen Tian returned to the room, and the more he thought about it, the more he wondered, how could a good person change his residence, and now there are almost no soldiers guarding outside, and the surroundings do not seem to be inhabited. Another thing that made him pay attention was that Qiu Hao knocked on the side several times just now, asking about his purpose!
"These officials are too much of Taoism. It's better to be free, or wait for the birthday banquet to hurry up and leave, otherwise I really don't know that it will take the year of the monkey to return to the sky."
Chen Tian let go of his doubts and began to meditate and cultivate. For three days, every day, there would be some exquisite food and spirit fruit sent by a beautiful maid, and the food was counted, but this spirit fruit was a genuine second-order level, Chen Tian was very happy to eat, and secretly sighed that the county town was rich.
Three days passed in a hurry, and Chen Tian's strength had improved, but the forty-ninth spiritual vein was still a little short of breaking through. This difference needs to be a matter of course, and forcing it is not good for itself.
Early in the morning of the third day, there was a lot of gongs and drums outside, and it was not lively, even if the place where Chen Tian lived was remote enough, he could really hear it.
Qiu Ya came outside, and before she could speak, Chen Tian walked out, holding a brocade box in his hand, and greeted with a smile: "Miss Qiu, it's early."
"Today, my father's birthday, Brother Chen, please follow me to the hall. Qiu Ya pursed her lips and smiled
On the way, Chen Tian asked them if there were any taboos in the Heavenly Sword Country. Qiu Ya smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Our Heavenly Sword Kingdom has nothing special except for sword worship" After speaking, he looked at the brocade box in Chen Tian's hand and asked out loud: "This is?"
Chen Tian raised his hand: "A birthday gift for the city lord!" After staying here for a few days and eating a lot of good things, it would be too unreasonable to participate in the birthday banquet without a birthday gift
"Brother Chen doesn't have to be so ......"
"City Lord's birthday, talk about your heart!"
Qiu Ya didn't want to say anything, but she didn't think that Chen Tian, a small psychic realm monk, could come up with any decent gifts, and those who could participate in her father's birthday ceremony were city lord-level figures in addition to the elite in the army. I hope it doesn't get too embarrassing.
