Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Reunion of Old Rivals
This person Niu Yibiao is very familiar, from their youth to the present, they are all competitors, for Niu Yibiao, they have been competing silently almost all their lives, and they are all competing behind their backs.
Niu Yibiao understands better that he will not retreat because of the passage of the world, because these people are almost lifelong opponents of themselves, they know each other best, and they are also the most hostile to each other.
Niu Yibiao relegated him to that barren clan land back then, which was not only to punish him for his unruliness, but also to grind off his temperament.
But as soon as he appeared, Niu Yibiao understood that his sharpness had not diminished at all, and he was still as sharp as when he was a teenager, and he would not give an inch.
The clan elder of the year died of old age, or died in battle, he is no longer alive, and now he is coming back to him alone, he wants to repay the humiliation of the year, and the peak is directed at himself!
The other attendees also felt his arrival, and they all looked at the end of the banquet from a distance, where two figures appeared: a tall and strong bald middle-aged man, and the aura he conveyed was very similar to that of Niu Yibiao.
He appeared in a grand and compelling posture, as if to show everyone the anger he had suppressed for many years, Niu Yibiao looked at him from afar, and he could feel his gaze on him as well.
At this time, after many years of looking at each other, Niu Yibiao felt as if they had returned to their youth, when they were still young men with strong blood and full of extreme desire for power.
He could still remember the ecstasy of his success, and in stark contrast to the utter disappointment of another young man, he remembered the unruly look in his eyes at that time.
Over the years, Niu Yibiao has experienced a lot, and he has a different view and understanding of many things, he has begun to understand the overall situation and the whole, no longer as presumptuous as before, and more tolerant of many things.
The same is true for his old rival, otherwise Niu Yibiao would not have watched him annex the surrounding tribes and let it go, let alone tolerate his contempt for his main clan for many years.
Niu Yibiao looked at the opponent in the distance who was once unruly and still domineering, and he suddenly felt that he was old and a little tired of fighting.
But he can't let his unscrupulousness go, the Qingniu clan still has to act according to the rules, Niu Yibiao can't let him go, and all the connivance is not yet there.
He watched him from far and near, and the clansmen of the other races who attended the meeting also kept their eyes focused on him, and even the Ice Wolf Clan and the Golden-Winged Dapeng Clan, who were still at Mai Mang just now, calmed down.
Finally, the father and son came closer, and the middle-aged man could still see the outline of his youth, but he had become strong and old, and there were traces of time.
He didn't know when his hair had fallen out, and now the top of his head was no longer the straight hair that he used to have, and the originally handsome young man had left traces of time.
Niu Yibiao can still see an unruly look in his eyes, he is very familiar with him, but he is no stranger, they seem to have changed over the years.
Behind him was a handsome young man, he was not round and broad-backed like most Qingniu men, but handsome, thinner than most Qingniu youth, with a standard melon seed face and thick eyebrows.
This kind of appearance is considered the top in the entire Qingniu clan, Niu Yibiao can see some traces of Niu Baokun's youth from his body, and Niu Yibiao knows that he is Niu Baokun's only son, Niu Hong.
Only then did Niu Yibiao realize that this child had already turned against the six qualities! Niu Yibiao couldn't help but sigh that it was really the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves, and a new generation of people was better than the old people.
Although he is the child of the opponent, he is also a member of the Qingniu clan, and the strength of the younger generation indicates the new prosperity of the Qingniu clan.
Li Chen had also been looking at the two of them, and since they appeared in the distance, his gaze had never left.
The bald middle-aged man should be Niu Baokun, Li Chen could feel the aura emanating from his body and was very familiar with Niu Yibiao, and that kind of coercion did not need a special release to follow.
And the somewhat handsome and tall young man, Li Chen speculated that it should be Niu Baokun's son, and the eyebrows of the two people are still very similar, and even the aura of the body is extremely similar.
Li Chen could feel that he was also the strength of the anti-void level, and even stronger than his momentum, Li Chen was interested in this pair of father and son.
Although it was far away, Li Chen could feel that the young man had shifted his gaze to himself, and when they looked at him, Li Chen could feel the arrogance in him.
And Niu Baokun has been looking at Niu Yibiao from beginning to end, and this pair of old opponents who have been competing for half their lives will grind out violent sparks as soon as they meet.
Finally, Niu Baokun and Niu Hong came closer, they stood one after another, and Niu Yibiao looked down at the father and son from top to bottom.
Niu Baokun took the lead in kneeling down on one knee and said loudly: "See the patriarch, I hope the patriarch will forgive me if the lower clan meeting is late." Immediately after, Niu Hong also knelt down and clasped his hands into fists.
Niu Yibiao was a little incredible, did he announce his surrender when he knelt down? But why did he come in a domineering manner just now? Niu Yibiao couldn't understand this old opponent a little.
But now that the people have knelt in front of him, Niu Yibiao hurriedly walked off the high platform, supported Niu Baokun with both hands and said: "They are all old friends, why should they be like this!" After all, the foreigners are here, and Niu Yibiao still has to make an appearance.
At this time, Niu Baokun was still kneeling, and he said in a deep voice: "The courtesy of the monarch and the minister cannot be abolished, how dare the subordinates trespass." ”
He looked up at Niu Yibiao and said, "The ministers have been unable to travel far because of their health in the past few years, and they have not been able to participate in the clan meeting. I also thanked the patriarch for his compassion, and the ministers were grateful. ”
Seeing this, Niu Yibiao forcibly helped him up, held his hands and said: "You are the mainstay of the Qingniu clan, and you have been guarding the south for the Qingniu clan for many years. ”
As he spoke, he helped Niu Baokun to his seat, and Niu Hong sat behind his father, and everyone in the audience was dumbfounded, and they couldn't believe it.
Li Chen was well aware of Niu Baokun's state of being like a great enemy before he came, as well as the fear of the entire Qingniu clan's high-level leaders, but when Niu Baokun arrived, he saw a touching scene of brothers' reunion.
Li Chen was also particularly shocked, he secretly admired these two people who were like drama spirits, and they were wary of each other behind their backs, but they were like brothers in front of people.
Li Chen can also understand that for Niu Yibiao, although Niu Baokun is an unstable factor, he is also a member of the Qingniu clan, and his existence deters foreign clans to a certain extent.
It is also a huge threat to the hostile Terrans, so his existence, even if he does not contribute, can also play a great role, and he maintains the harmony between the two races to a large extent.
Moreover, he has been steadily guarding the southern part of the Qingniu Clan for many years, and he has not caused any problems, which shows that this person is still extremely aware of the overall situation, so the benefits of his existence for the Qingniu Clan are far greater than the benefits of getting rid of him.
As for Niu Baokun, his hatred is only for Niu Yibiao himself, not for the Qingniu clan, he may still be extremely fond of the people of a race.
What he is unwilling to admit is only the position of the patriarch of Niu Yibiao, and he is unwilling to admit his failure, and he still has a deep affection for the Qingniu clan that gave birth to him.
At least he didn't want to be a sinner of the Qingniu clan, so he still maintained the minimum respect for the so-called patriarch of the opposite Niu Yibiao in front of people, and he also hoped to use this to deter foreign clans and avoid disasters in the Qingniu clan.
The originally quiet clan meeting became even quieter because of the arrival of the two of them, and almost everyone focused their attention on Niu Baokun's father and son.
The two foreign clans who were still fighting each other before also fell silent because of Niu Baokun's arrival, and they were all waiting for Niu Baokun's next reaction.
But Niu Yibiao was the first to speak, his face was full of smiles, but the smile was very different from the smile he had for Li Chen that day, it was a kind of generous smile, just like a kind monarch to the soldiers who had just returned from victory.
He said to Niu Baokun and Niu Hong: "Your father and son have worked hard from thousands of miles away, and they have worked hard all these years. ”
Niu Baokun hurriedly stood up, clasped his hands into fists and said: "How can you say bitter to manage the clan instead of the patriarch, the patriarch has tormented the subordinates." ”
Niu Yibiao felt that his humility, as a martial artist whose strength was second only to himself, he had the qualifications to be arrogant, but he was even more humble than all the people present today.
Niu Yibiao was ready for him to be arrogant, and he also thought about how to deal with his arrogance, but he catered to him with such a humble attitude, which caught him off guard, and even made him pounce.
Niu Yibiao felt that this opponent was more difficult to deal with than before, and it was even like a different person, and this strangeness dared to make Niu Yibiao even have a fear of him.
Could it be that all these years of exile have given him a kind of consciousness of lying down and trying his courage? Or is he really willing to be convinced? Niu Yibiao felt very confused, and this old opponent made him feel strange.
Niu Yibiao didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly replied: "It is thanks to your governance of the southern tribe that the Qingniu clan can flourish and become stronger. ”
After that, he looked left and right and said, "Hurry up and order someone to serve food and wine, how can the heroes of our clan be slow when they arrive." The subordinates rushed to give orders, and soon thousands of people began to appear in an orderly manner.
They took the plates, shuttled through the crowd, and began to serve. The originally silent square slowly became lively, and although everyone was full of doubts, these should not be the content of their questions.
After a while, the dishes were all ready, and Li Chen was full of delicacies in front of him, such as bear's paw shark's fin, and barbecue soup. The color and flavor are all complete, Li Chen has not lacked these delicious foods these days, and his treatment in the Qingniu clan is still very high.
Everyone was still seated, and when the food was served, the square was quiet again.
Niu Yibiao was just about to announce the meal, but Niu Baokun suddenly stood up, he clasped his hands into fists, and said loudly: "Patriarch! ”
