Chapter 449: Banquet
"Sixth Grandfather, I'm fine. Even if we can't recognize our ancestors and return to our ancestors, at least we know that there are elders like you who care about us in the Xu family. What's more, I still have to look for my father, what if my father doesn't find me and recognize my ancestors. ”
Xu Yingying froze when she saw the scene, walked to the side of the six elders and whispered.
"Yingying ......" the sixth elder turned his head bitterly, "Won't you complain about the sixth grandfather?"
Xu Yingying shook her head very kindly: "No! Even if only the sixth grandfather accepts me alone, it is enough." ”
Xu Hongli looked at the imperceptible killing intent flashing in her eyes, and looked up at everyone: "Since the internal affairs of the Xu family have been decided, let's take a look at the impact of the return of the Shang Tu Sect on the Holy Mountain City." I did not attend in person, and it is said that the four elders and others reached an agreement with Shang Tuzong, and they sacrificed a lot of interests of our Xu family. ”
"What!
Hearing that it was related to the overall interests of the Xu family, everyone was not calm. Those who did not participate in the discussion were inquiring with the elders who had gone there, and the ordinary children were also talking.
Their honor and disgrace are all related to the Xu family, and sacrificing the interests of the Xu family is tantamount to digging meat on them.
Unlike the hunters at the bottom of the Holy Mountain City, the children of the family living on the top of the Holy Dragon have a very high opinion of themselves, and they don't feel that the Holy Mountain City still needs to replenish external forces to deal with demons and desolate beasts.
The return of the Shang Tu Sect is only a little benefit to the Holy Mountain City, why should the interests of the Xu family be sacrificed for this!
The Holy Lord said that a banquet will be held today and officially announced to the public. I'm afraid that the chances of wanting to change are not very good. ”
"Alas, the fourth elder was present at the time, how could his old man be indifferent if he could fight for it. All the current agreements were reached in the presence of the Holy Lord and the other two major families, how could only our Xu family be able to turn it over. ”
Xu Hongli raised his hands and said solemnly: "How do you know if you don't try it." At the very least, let the Holy Lord know the wishes of my Xu family. I'm not there during the day, so I can talk about it. Calm down, everyone, I will immediately go to meet with the four elders and the others. ”
Obviously, everyone came because the six elders wanted to correct Xu Yingying's name, but when they were separated, few people still took her to heart.
Xu Hongli had to accept Yingying in order to avoid a head-on conflict with the six elders, but he did not lose. The events that should have caused a shock within the Xu family have now turned all their attention to the interests of their Xu family in the Holy Mountain City.
Very smart and very old and spicy.
The sixth elder snorted in a sullen voice, turned his head to Xu Yingying, but changed to a friendly smile: "Okay Yingying, don't pay attention to such a person." Now you are the eldest lady of the Xu family, it doesn't matter what others think, I'll give it to you first...... We arrange some accommodation. ”
Since Xu Hongli did not dare to oppose Xu Yingying's return head-on, there was naturally no objection in the family to what the six elders wanted to arrange for her.
The six elders assigned the best courtyard that was still vacant in the house to Xu Yingying, and the others did not arrange guest rooms. In order to make Yingying live comfortably, they were all arranged to live together.
This intention, even if Xu Ye is still secretly vigilant that Xu Hongli will do unfavorable things, he can't say anything refused.
"Six...... Elder, if the Holy Lord is going to hold a banquet, you should also participate in it, right?" Xu Ye asked after expressing his gratitude to the Sixth Elder.
"Of course, what kind of status the old man has in the Xu family, even the Holy Lord will give me some face. The Sixth Elder said happily and proudly.
"Actually, we also want to participate in the conference, I wonder if the Sixth Elder can take us with us?"
"Of course, it's not easy for the old man to bring a few people into the venue, not to mention that Yingying is now also the eldest lady of our Xu family. ”
The six elders now have no objection to Xu Yingying's great love.
Although Xu Ye also has the opportunity to go with Fang Qingxue, Xu Ye's autonomy will be much worse, and it will be difficult to bring Zhao Qibin and even Xu Yingying in.
As a member of the Xu family, he would have a lot less scruples, and if he wanted to contact Fang Qinglong, he could pass through Fang Qingxue at any time.
When he left the Xu family again, Xu Ye found that several elder-level masters had been gathered in the compound.
Xu Hongli, who was clearly the head of the family before, had already said that he would bring people to meet with the four elders, so the elders who stayed here at the moment were completely the core personnel of the six elders.
The Sixth Elder nodded with satisfaction, pointed at them and whispered to Xu Yingying before the past: "People's hearts are changing, and there are not many loyalties. Don't look at the elders who are left here, but every one of them deserves your absolute trust. Yingying has to remember them tonight, and if she finds any of them in the future, she can get help. ”
Xu Yingying has also participated in military battles and has seen the trust that many soldiers have in her brother. At this moment, listening to the words of the Sixth Elder stirred up in her heart the sense of dependence she had when she was in the army.
Nodding his head in reply, the six elders were relieved, said "good boy", and strode forward with boldness and domineering.
"The big guys are all here, let's go, how can we be missing the excitement of the banquet! Just go and see what the Shangtu Sect really has to do!"
In the battle with the city gate of Shang Tuzong, although many elders of the three major families were gathered, the strongest people of the highest rank such as the six elders were not able to participate.
And more than a hundred years ago, when they were competing with Shang Tuzong, they were the main force at that time, so after hearing that the Holy Mountain City was beaten a little embarrassed, and even forced to accept many conditions from the other party, the six elders were holding their breath in their hearts.
The gate opened, and the group walked straight towards the banquet palace, and a few walked out of the momentum of an army.
Passers-by were intimidated by their momentum, and when they recognized their identities, they exclaimed again and again.
"It's really worthy of the Xu family, this momentum alone can scare people to death. ”
"The six elders led the team, and put on this frame...... Hey, do you think the Xu family will directly start a war with the people of the Shang Tu Sect again at the banquet!"
"It may be possible! But I've heard that the Xu family seems to have suffered a lot of hidden losses in this negotiation. Thinking about Elder Xu Liu's temperament again, it is really lively to watch now. ”
There was no shortage of do-gooders in the crowd around them, and they were fiercely discussing what might happen tonight. Among them, there are also many people who are dissatisfied with the Shang Tu Sect, and they have already reached an agreement with others, of course, they selfishly hope that a powerful person like the Sixth Elder can win back face for the Holy Mountain City.
Of course, the palace guards recognized the identity of Elder Xu Liu, and they were even exempted from coming up to inquire, and they all bowed and saluted him to invite him in. However, to their surprise, as soon as they entered, they saw Qin Pingbo and a middle-aged woman standing together, away from the noisy crowd.
"Brother Qin, why are you kid hiding here, is it possible that you have to compete with Mrs. Dongyuan again? Then I can't miss the eye blessing!"
The Sixth Elder obviously had a very good impression of Qin Pingbo, and took the initiative to step forward to say hello, and that middle-aged woman also seemed to be an extremely powerful existence. According to the Sixth Elder, she actually had the qualifications to compete with Qin Pingbo, a frequent visitor to the Holy Peak Terrace, and even had a record of fighting before.
Mrs. Dongyuan was tall, half a head taller than Fang Qingxue, and her smile was like smoke, but it always made Xu Ye feel that behind her smile was actually the same arrogant and lonely as Qin Pingbo.
The Sixth Elder laughed. Dongyuan had already been defeated by Elder Qin last time, and he hadn't advanced an inch in five years, so why would he challenge him again. It's just that they don't feel comfortable with the atmosphere at the banquet, so they just come to the corner to avoid it. ”
Of course, the Sixth Elder would not believe her humble words: "Lady Dongyuan's strength is well known to everyone in the Holy Mountain City, so don't be too modest." But when it comes to banquets, someone dares to make Elder Qin and Lady Dongyuan feel uncomfortable, I want to see who is so bold!"
Lady Dongyuan and Qin Pingbo both knew the temperament of the Sixth Elder, and were taken aback and said, "The Sixth Elder must not be impulsive. The current situation is a joint decision between the Holy Lord and the three major families, and there is no need to renew incidents at the banquet. ”
"Shared decision-making? hehe, why don't I know!"
Qin Pingbo and Mrs. Dongyuan glanced at each other, but they couldn't answer again.
The person in charge of the Xu family at that time was the fourth elder, and he and the sixth elder had always been at odds with each other in supporting the head of the family, and even spread to other matters There were more and more differences.
Even if the six elders would not turn their faces on the spot at tonight's important banquet, they would inevitably have a dirty relationship with Shang Tuzong afterwards. I'm afraid that the Holy Mountain City will not be peaceful in the future.
On the main stage, Fang Qinglong had already appeared, and the leader of Shangtu Sect Fang was still Yu Hongtian who was holding a dragon's head and a different staff. It's just that there are two more unfamiliar masters in addition to him, and in terms of momentum and coercion, the strength of these two people should not lie under Hong Tian.
In addition, Shang Tuzong still has a lot of masters with unclear intentions outside, and the strength of Shang Tuzong is roughly inferred, and even Xu Ye can't help but be secretly frightened.
Wei Zhanhai said goodbye to them first.
Although an agreement had been reached with the Shang Tu Sect, the information related to the Shang Tu Sect was still of great value, and he needed to report the news to the Holy Lord in a timely manner.
Fang Qingxue hurriedly said: "I'll go with you, and I will explain to my father in advance." ”
Xu Ye and Xu Yingying followed the six elders to the Xu family's seat.
This level of banquet has enough preferential treatment for the three major families, and the Xu family does not need to worry about the lack of seats on their side. As soon as Xu Ye sat down with the six elders, he found a solemn gaze that seemed like substance falling on him.
Looking up, an old man with a face somewhat similar to that of the Sixth Elder, but with a more neatly groomed beard, was looking at him, and there was a faint disdain and hostility in his eyes.
He can be recognized without being introduced, this must be the fourth elder of the Xu family, and he is more inclined to the side of the head of the family in terms of position.
"Sixth, I've heard the head of the family talk about Yingying, have you gone too far! Da Hui has always been the hope of our Xu family, and now that he is seriously injured, have you considered the problem of the Xu family's peace of mind!"
