Chapter 1198
"Is it Zhao Wang Shizi?" Some people in the crowd already recognized the origin of the other party, after all, Zhao Wang Shizi first studied in the Imperial Academy and often stayed in Mizhou City, and he could still be seen in some public places, so it was not difficult to be recognized.
"Shh......h It is rumored that the Xiang family wants to marry Zhao Wangfu, and it seems that this matter is inseparable. ”
"I have also heard such rumors, and the protagonist is the prince of Zhao in front of him......"
......
As soon as Jiang Xiang and Zhao Wang Shizi arrived, someone reported to the inner courtyard, and the old man Xiang Yufeng hurriedly greeted him with the support of his two sons, and at this time, Jiang Xiang and Zhao Wang Shizi had just come to the gate of the mansion and were about to step into the threshold.
"The old man meets the master of the horse and His Royal Highness the prince. Xiang Yufeng respectfully took off the hands of his two sons and respectfully saluted the two.
And the disciples of the Xiang Mansion behind Xiang Lao also respectfully followed the salute, their expressions showing respect and humility.
"Xiang Lao, this can't be helped, please get up quickly. Jiang Xiang and Zhao Wang Shizi hurriedly stepped forward, and picked up Xiang Yufeng from left to right.
"You are today's birthday star, how dare you greet you in person, you are folding our birthday. ”
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Xiang Yufeng was humble again and again, and his voice changed. "Please come in, Lord Horse, Your Royal Highness, please!"
The arrival of Jiang Yuma and Zhao Wang Shizi greeted everyone who had already been present, they didn't dare to hold it up, what kind of person is Jiang Xiang, the secret guards he is in charge of, even if they are famous and wealthy families in the empire, the powerful ministers in high positions are all terrified, not to mention these ordinary people, although they are making waves in the business world, but in the face of Jiang Xiang, they can't make a single wave, if Jiang Xiang is targeted, he has a hundred reasons for him to die.
And the prince of Zhao is the first heir to the throne of Zhao, the royal blood of the Great Qin Empire, if there is no accident, he will definitely be in charge of a territory in the future, and the dignity of his status and strength are so strong that they can't beat him.
Neither of them is something they can offend, and in the face of them, they can only smile and be careful.
In addition to Jiang Xiang in the political circles, there are many civil officials who are in charge of the power seal of one party, many of them have official positions equivalent to Jiang Xiang, but Jiang Xiang's notoriety is not all the way, they are not all the way, they just greeted Jiang Xiang when he arrived, and they never came into contact again.
And Xiang Yufeng's birthday banquet, the only thing missing is a figure from the military circles.
Roar......
At this moment, there was an earth-shattering roar outside Xiang's mansion, and a purple ancient chariot drove under the traction of six thorn beasts, and there was a faint aura of slaughter on the chariot, and there was a bloodstained rod inserted above the chariot, and its silver-white natural color flag could be faintly seen, and the flag was embroidered with a big black character 'Gu'.
Before the chariot had stopped, a bronzed young man had jumped up from above, holding a halberd, and a stride had already stepped up the steps, and the guardian who was responsible for guarding the gate of the mansion had not had time to react, and the person had already appeared a hundred meters away from the courtyard of the Xiang Mansion.
As soon as everyone in the audience had recovered from the deafening roar of the beast, the bronzed-skinned youth had appeared outside the hall.
The bronze-skinned young man's eyes swept away, and he found Xiang Yufeng, who was sitting on top with Jiang Xiang, and Xiang Yufeng also found someone coming, and hurriedly got up and left the table to meet him, but the other party had already strode forward, and appeared opposite Xiang Yufeng, and bowed respectfully.
"Xiao Luo has seen Grandpa Xiang. ”
"Xiao Luo, why are you here?, your grandfather is okay......" Xiang Yufeng helped Gu Luo up, full of excitement.
"Grandpa Xiang, don't worry, grandpa has a hard body, if it weren't for the war with the gang of the Great Yuan Empire this time, he would definitely come, but you are also disappointed, his old man asked me to bring you a gift. Gu Luo helped Xiang Yufeng, and his rough voice resounded throughout the hall, making everyone who was chatting endlessly in private stop talking, staring at Gu Luo curiously, wanting to see where the other party was sacred, but Old Man Xiang changed color.
Gu Luo's high-profile appearance immediately focused everyone's attention, and even Jiang Xiang looked Gu Luo up and down curiously.
Gu Luo's words and the ancient chariot parked outside the mansion made some people faintly guess his identity, the Gu family, as a few ancient families in the empire, is much older than the Nanke family, and has experienced the rise and fall of several dynasties, although it has been faintly decayed, much less than before, but compared to the general family heritage is still much deeper.
The Gu family guards the north of the empire, and the Xiang family in Misty City is west and north to contain and defend against the invasion of the Great Yan Empire and the Great Yuan Empire, and occupies a place in the imperial military world.
After Gu Luo finished speaking, he groped in his arms for a while, took out an oiled paper package, and stuffed it to Xiang Yufeng.
Everyone who was originally very curious about Gu Luo's gift was disappointed and a little deceived when they saw him take out such a broken paper bag.
Xiang Yufeng was not like everyone present, he was busy opening the oil paper bag cautiously for the first time, only to see a dark red dry flat kernel quietly placed inside.
"What is this?"
Some of the people present were close enough to see it in their eyes, and those from afar could also see it, but none of them had ever seen it and couldn't tell what it was, including Jiang Xiang and Zhao Wang Shizi who were here, and at this moment they all had the same doubt in their hearts.
"Dragon liver melon core! It's actually dragon liver melon core!"
Xiang Yufeng's eyes, which were originally a little dizzy, trembled with excitement when he saw the nut, and it took a long time to hold back four words.
However, as soon as these four words came out, everyone present immediately gasped, they all have a certain status and identity, of course, they have all heard about the most magical xenomorph dragon liver melon in the Great Yuan Empire.
Dragon's liver melon is named because its shape is very similar to the liver of a lizard dragon, its flesh nourishes qi and nourishes blood, and the core of dragon's liver melon can prolong life and slow down the aging of the body.
It is said that the dragon liver melon grows in the Jedi ghost desert of the Great Yuan Empire, the ghost desert is a veritable Jedi, few people can get out of it, in the history of the Great Yuan Empire, there were three masters of the innate divine realm who joined forces to explore the Jedi, and in the end only one person walked out, and was deeply damaged, and the dragon liver melon core was also brought out by him from it.
Since then, the only master of the Innate Divine Realm who has walked out of the ghost desert has planted the dragon liver melon core and cultivated it successfully, but although the cultivation is successful, even now, there are only fifty-nine dragon liver melon trees in the entire Dayuan Empire, and each tree only bears no more than three fruits a year, and the strangest thing is that only one out of every forty-nine dragon liver melons gives birth to dragon liver melon cores, so that the Dayuan Empire can only get three dragon liver melon cores every year, which shows its preciousness.
Xiang Yufeng is now eighty, and the temptation of the dragon liver melon core to him is not ordinarily big, not only him, even everyone present is very hot, including Jiang Xiang and Zhao Wang Shizi, who doesn't want their life to be longer, even if they are still young now, but there will always be a day when they will age.
"Xiao Luo, go back and thank you grandpa for me. Xiang Yufeng is also worthy of being a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, and quickly recovered from that excited state, patted Gu Luo's hand, and said with a smile on his face.
Twenty years ago, Xiang Yufeng had the honor of saving Gu Luo's grandfather Gu Haotian's life, and for so many years, the Xiang family has been supplying the Gu family's huge military supplies through secret channels, which is also the root of why the Xiang family has been able to grow by leaps and bounds in the past ten years, and it is also rumored that the Xiang family has a deep political background behind it, and this so-called political background is the Gu family.
"Grandpa Xiang, don't worry, Xiao Luo will definitely help you convey it. ”
Gu Luo helped Xiang Yufeng, nodded heavily, and asked suspiciously. "Grandpa Xiang, why didn't you see Nian Ran?"
He swept around the field just now, but he didn't find Xiang Nianran's figure, and he couldn't help but ask at this moment, so the main purpose of his trip was Xiang Nianran.
"She's still getting dressed up in the backyard, and she'll be out later. Xiang Yufeng's face changed when he heard this, but he soon returned to normal, of course he knew Gu Luo's feelings for Xiang Nianran, and he had also intentionally tried to match the two of them at the beginning, but unfortunately Xiang Nianran only had brother and sister feelings for him, and Xiang Yufeng had to give up, at this moment he was faintly worried, and he only hoped that he would not run away in the future.
When Qin Botong, the son of King Zhao, heard this, he was just about to teach him two sentences, but he was held down by Jiang Xiang, and at the same time shook his head at him, Qin Botong didn't move, just glared at Gu Luo angrily, eager to swallow him alive.
And Gu Luo also seemed to have a sense, and suddenly turned around and stared at Qin Botong, and the murderous aura was released at this moment.
Although King Zhao commanded a fief, he could not help the Gu family with heavy troops and the ancient family with the guardian god of the north, on the contrary, the Gu family was not afraid of Zhao Wangfu at all, and did not put the small Zhao Wangfu in his eyes.
It is also like this two families have always had contradictions, one to live in person with the royal family, on weekdays, a superior posture, and the other family does not care at all, they only recognize the fist, who has a hard fist, who has the right to speak, in the eyes of the people of the ancient family, if they did not guard the north, the Great Yuan Empire would have erased the Zhao Palace, that they are allowed to be here to be powerful, which is also the key factor that the ancient family did not put the Zhao Palace.
The two looked at each other, no one was convinced, and the atmosphere in the field became tense for a while, Gu Luo clenched his fists, and wanted to step forward to fight, Qin Botong did not show weakness, and was about to get up to fight, Xiang Yufeng and Jiang Xiang found that the situation was not right at the same time, and the two were busy trying to stop it, but at this time, they heard the report of the family outside the house, which immediately dispersed everyone's attention, and the tense atmosphere that was originally caused by Gu Luo and Qin Botong also dissipated.
"There's a guest in Misty City!"
There are guests in Misty City, which makes everyone present think of the Xiang family in Misty City for the first time, could it be that Xiang Yufeng and the Xiang family in Misty City really have a trace of blood, and they belong to the same vein a long time ago.
"Haha......" Before anyone arrived, the sound came first, and compared to Gu Luo's loud throat, the person who came was not weaker than him, and even louder.
As soon as the voice fell, Xiang Yufeng had already hurried out, a middle-aged man in a gray robe, holding a silver spear, had appeared outside the hall at this moment, and behind him a fiery red spotted tiger glared angrily, which was very scary.
"Nanfeng congratulates Uncle Feng on his longevity than Nanshan!" Xiang Nanfeng smiled heartily at Xiang Yufeng.
"Nanfeng turned out to be you!" Xiang Yufeng didn't expect Xiang Nanfeng to come in person, which made him excited.
Xiang Nanfeng, as the number two person of the Xiang family in Misty City, was able to come in a hurry, which was simply brilliant for the Xiang family.
In fact, as the outside world speculated, their Xiang Mansion did belong to a branch of the Xiang family in Misty City hundreds of years ago, but after hundreds of years of changes, now Xiang Yufeng and their lineage have lost the true inheritance of their Xiang family, and they have to abandon martial arts and engage in business.
Phew!
Xiang Nanfeng's appearance made everyone present gasp, including Jiang Xiang, who frowned slightly, thinking faintly.
Who is Xiang Nanfeng, he is definitely the second commander of the Xiang family's army, he was able to personally participate in Xiang Yufeng's 80th birthday, which is simply too unexpected in the eyes of everyone, but now it is really happening in front of him, so there is only one point that their relationship is extraordinary, and the Xiang family in Mizhou City is not as weak as it seems from the outside.
"What did Uncle Xiang say, how could we not come to the younger generation on your eightieth birthday, if it weren't for the fact that the Dayan Empire has suffered a big loss recently, and has repeatedly provoked at the border like a mad dog, my eldest brother will also come with him this time, but now he can't get out, and please Uncle Xiang Don't blame it." "Xiang Nanfeng has been humble and courteous from beginning to end.
However, although Xiang Nanfeng has always regarded himself as a junior, Xiang Yufeng did not dare to hold it up at all, and he did not dare to do it.
Although going back hundreds of years, their ancestors may have been brothers, but now their branch is obviously declining, and it is far from the status of the Xiang family, which rules Misty City and Megatron Western Frontier, and it cannot be said at all.
If it weren't for the Misty City Xiang family and the Gu family behind them over the years, they would not have the status they have today, and it might be difficult for them to even gain a foothold in the empire's business world. If it is really as Xiang Nanfeng said, if Xiang Nantian, the commander of the Xiang family army in Misty City, comes in person, I am afraid that it will really cause a major earthquake in Mizhou City.
"Xiao Luo has seen Uncle Nanfeng. Gu Luo, who was originally angry with the prince of Zhao Wang, suddenly restrained his domineering just now when he saw Xiang Nanfeng, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute respectfully.
The Gu family guards the northern border of the empire, and has a relationship with the Xiang family army guarding the western frontier, and the two families will send the elite children of the family to each other's army every year to hone and learn from each other, confirm each other, and make progress together, and Gu Luo was sent by the family to Misty City for a year a few years ago, and it was Xiang Nanfeng who was personally responsible for their batch of intensive training.
"Hmm!"
Xiang Nanfeng also recognized Gu Luo when he heard the sound, looked him up and down, nodded with satisfaction, and patted him on the shoulder. "Yes, I haven't seen you for more than two years, but I didn't expect your kid to break through again, it is worthy of the bloodline of the Gu family, and everyone is good. ”
"Hmph, what's the big deal, it's not all reckless. As soon as Xiang Nanfeng's words fell, a discordant voice suddenly sounded.
"You ......"
Hearing this, Gu Luo was furious, and suddenly turned around and clutched Shuangquan tightly, and wanted to make a move with him. "Master, I'm a reckless man, that's better than your second ancestor who eats soft rice!"
"You...... You dare to scold me for eating soft rice?!" Qin Botong, the prince of King Zhao, stood up suddenly, and pointed at Gu Luo angrily, and the posture was desperate.
"What's wrong with scolding you for eating soft rice? Just like you bear, if you go to the battlefield, you might be scared to the point of urine!" Gu Luo snorted coldly with disdain, his eyes full of mockery, and at the same time rolled up his sleeves and wanted to do it.
"If you still want to do it, you can't do it, okay! Then let's try it, and see if the master doesn't abolish you today!"
"You ......"
Qin Botong's originally fair face seemed to be congested, and he wanted to step forward to fight Gu Luo, but he was held down by Jiang Xiang and couldn't move his steps.
"Why don't you dare?!But to be honest, if you do something like waste, I'm afraid that the master will be embarrassed and thrown to grandma's house. Gu Luo still sneered disdainfully.
"Junior, haven't the adults in your family taught you, you should pay attention to proportionality when you speak......" This time, before Qin Botong could refute, Jiang Xiang stood up leisurely, staring at Gu Luo with gloomy eyes, and a wicked smile floating on the corner of his mouth.
