Chapter 41 Drawing of lots
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the day of the heroic conference.
The news of the change of the head of the Jiang family has been spread for a long time, but the emperor still did not summon the new head of the family. This time, taking advantage of the heroic conference, he wanted to come and see it in person.
Jiang Luoan also followed behind his father. As soon as she entered, she saw Young Master Zheyuan sitting high on the stage.
The young master was young, and his sitting position was even higher than that of the Luo family's master. With such power, it is no wonder that the young master was not afraid of the Luo family coming to find fault.
Not long after everyone was seated, His Majesty the Emperor also entered. After the crowd sat down, the magistrate was about to declare the convention officially open.
He was about to signal the drummer next to him to beat the drum to announce the start, but the emperor raised his hand to stop the magistrate's movements.
Everyone present instantly fell silent, and even the sound of breathing became audible.
The emperor opened his mouth and said, "Wait, there is another person coming." ”
Jiang Luoan approached his father, and Jiang Aotian explained to his daughter softly, "I just received news the day before yesterday that Wei Zheng, the second prince of Wei Yanguo, will also participate in this heroic conference. It is said that the second prince asked his father to write a letter to my emperor Longchen very early, and it should have been planned in advance. ”
While the two of them were talking, Wei Zheng arrived.
is worthy of the prince who dares to come alone to participate in the heroic conference of other countries, this second prince has a darker complexion, but his eyes are more bright. He was dressed in a neat short suit, and a long sword pinned to his waist, which made him even more extraordinary.
As soon as he arrived, Wei Zheng began to look at the people seated. His gaze was sharp and aggressive, and many of the people he looked at couldn't help but tilt their heads to the side.
Although it is indeed a bit embarrassing to do this, Wei Zheng's gaze seems to be able to see through people, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.
But when his gaze swept over Wen Zhao, who was sitting precariously, Wen Zhao not only did not turn his head, but instead looked directly into his eyes with a sharper gaze, forcing Wei Zheng to take the initiative to look away.
This person is definitely not simple, Wei Zheng thought to himself.
When Wei Zheng sat down, the heroic conference was officially announced.
The emperor sat on the top seat, looking radiant, "Everyone, Aiqing, there will be many young people to participate in this conference. Shouldn't a few of you guys come up with some colorful heads to help out! ”
It is also an unwritten rule that people from the four major families come up with something to make lottery heads. As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the people of the four major families over there began to offer treasures one after another.
Due to the wide variety of things taken out, the four families will only select the most expensive selection to present, and make a list of the rest of the things and read them out on the spot. This is not only an encouragement to the participants, but also a way for the four families to compete in secret.
What the Jin family sent was a small copper tripod, which could be transformed into the size of a water tank under the catalysis of spiritual power. This Xiaoding is a relic of an alchemy immortal master, and after his death, he disappeared, and it turned out to be obtained by the Jin family.
The Jiang family presented a sword. As we all know, there was once a sword-casting master among the ancestors of the Jiang family, and he spent his whole life on sword casting, so the Jiang family's hidden sword is the most and best among the four major families.
The Lu family sent several bottles of expensive pills. Most of these pills are priceless and unmarketable, and it is difficult for ordinary cultivators to obtain them, even if they have money.
The Luo family followed at the end, but what they sent was a flower and bird embroidery. Of course, this is not an ordinary embroidery, there is a spiritual power attached to it, which can make the flowers on it bloom like real flowers, and birds fly out of the embroidery cloth and chirp.
This embroidery is good, but it has no practical use, and it is a little different from the color heads sent by the Luo family in the past. Some people had doubts in their hearts, but they still felt that it was not enough, and they did not say anything.
After each of the four houses has shown a lottery, it is time to start reading the list listed.
"Wait a minute." Lu Yingchen of the Lu family suddenly spoke up, "Your Majesty, I know that Miss Jiang has just obtained a treasure box recently, and the contents of the treasure box are mysterious and unpredictable, which makes me very curious. I just don't know if Miss Jiang has added this box to the color head, so that we can all see the world. ”
By saying this, he was deliberately retaliating.
Jiang Luoan was not annoyed. She took out the empty square box from her sleeve and handed it to the subordinate standing beside her, asking him to add it to the Jiang family's colorful head.
"It doesn't matter if I didn't add it just now, I've added it now. I don't know if Lu Gongzi still has any questions? Jiang Luoan looked at him with a smile.
Lu Yingchen didn't expect her to be so refreshing, so she was stunned for a moment and replied: "No, no, I just talked about it......
"Okay, Miss Jiang is really refreshing." The emperor spoke suddenly, cutting off Lu Yingchen's words, and everyone cheered along with the emperor's words.
When the list was read, everyone didn't expect that the Luo family's lottery this time would be so shabby, which was very different from the past.
The head of the Lu family couldn't help but laugh, "Is the head of the Luo family unwilling to take out the good things at home, and it's actually not interesting to hide them secretly, it's better to take them out and distribute them to these heroes and heroes, so that they won't hide in the ashes at home, right?" ”
The Luo family suffered such a catastrophe, and this time they were subjected to the yin and yang weirdness of the Lu family master, and the Luo family head was also holding back his anger and had nowhere to go.
He said angrily: "It's okay, it's okay, it's not as good as the Lu family, the talented son took the initiative to provoke the Jiang family girl at the auction, but he lost to her, and I don't know who was disgraced at that time." ”
The incident at the auction was a scandal for the Lu family. Knowing that his son lost to Miss Jiang, the head of the Lu family sent someone to tightly seal the news, so that many people didn't know about it.
Today's news came out of the mouth of the Luo family master, which shocked everyone even more.
Suddenly, Jiang Luo'an, who had won the battle against the son of the Lu family and had just been praised by the emperor, received a lot of ill-intentioned eyes, and she became the target of public criticism.
The heads of the Lu and Luo families were-for-tat, and no one let anyone, and the atmosphere at the meeting froze for a moment.
In order to ease the atmosphere, the emperor coughed lightly, "Now that the list of each lottery has been read, let's go directly to the lottery, it's still the old rule." ”
There are four sticks in the lottery, two of each of the two colors. The two drawn of the same color will face off in this one.
The four heads of the family stepped forward together, Jiang Aotian walked first, and casually took out a stick.
The other three heads of the family also chose a bamboo stick in turn.
Jiang Luoan leaned over to look at the sticks they had drawn, and the color of the sticks in the hands of the head of the Jin family was the same as Jiang Aotian.
It seems that it is the Jin family who is facing off against the Jiang family this time.
