…………

The auction meeting ended in a flash. Some people have a good harvest, while others return depressed.

And MCA, although it is not a bumper harvest, but in addition to the 4,000 gold coins in hand, it also bought a "Radiant Sword", which is not bad.

"Brother Ma, wait a moment." Out of the secret room and out of the lobby of the Treasure Pavilion, as soon as the two of them stepped on the street, they heard Old Man Zhang chasing and shouting behind them.

The two turned around, and Ma Hua asked suspiciously, "Is there anything else going on with Shopkeeper Zhang?"

Old man Zhang gasped lightly, "Brother Ma, don't think about it. Swallowing the foam, he explained: "The owner set up a banquet and invited General Zhao and a group of merchants. At the same time, Brother Ma and Miss Linglong were also invited, and I hope that the two of them will enjoy face, hehe. ”

Ma Hua's heart moved, this Luo Laosan is quite interesting.

Pretended to think about it, and after half a minute, he nodded and said, "Okay, since Boss Luo is warmly invited, this affection still has to be accepted." Let's go, then. ”

Smiled and glanced at Linglong, and under the leadership of Old Man Zhang with a smile, several people walked towards the famous [Imperial Dining Pavilion] in the city......

At 90 o'clock in the night, it is the time when Xiaopan City is flourishing. Groups of pedestrians walked back and forth on the street, and the thresholds of the shops on both sides were also half a point shortened.

[Imperial Restaurant], located in the center of the city on the third ring street, back to the river, covering a large area. This restaurant is rich in delicious food and countless fine wines, and has been quite famous since the development of Xiaopancheng.

Right now, on both sides of the downstairs of the [Imperial Dining Pavilion], stalls are placed along the street.

On the side of the road, in several connected stalls, a man dressed as a farmer with a gray turban wrapped around his head. After an old man led two young people to pass by, he whispered to the hunchbacked old woman beside him who had been bowing her head to pack up the goods, "Didn't you say that there are all important people in Xiaopancheng?" Why did such a bad old man and the two little boys go up too? There's nothing wrong with intelligence. ”

When the eyes of the rest of the companions were fixed, the old woman coughed twice, and while picking up the things at hand, she said softly: "Our task is to clear out the secret guards below and help the upper ones complete the assassination operation. As for the dead people, Gaga, why are you worrying about that, you are afraid of death? ”

The old woman's last laugh was a little gloomy, and a rich boy with a few subordinates took good things when he saw them on the street, and went to flirt with beautiful girls when he saw them. After listening to it not far away, he shuddered, especially the old woman wearing a black cloak, covering her head, and the dim light suddenly glanced at him. Seeing this, he hurriedly hugged his hands and rubbed them, and made a "huh" sound, urging his subordinates to leave in a hurry.

In the Imperial Dining Pavilion, today is a little quieter than usual. There are no two reasons, just because today, this place was covered by Luo Laosan.

With different horses and sedan chairs, stopped in front of the gate, a dignified and gorgeous person, with an obviously different temperament, under the escort of their respective entourage, walked into the [Imperial Dining Pavilion].

On the second floor of Xuanzhong, several large pillars carved with gold lacquer support a spacious space. This hospitality hall is surrounded by exquisite painted walls, and the flowers and plants on the platform placed along the pillars are pleasant. On one side of the inner wall, there are many interesting gadgets, and a simple but comfortable arrangement makes this empty hall a little more alive.

In the hall, several tables of banquets were set up at the moment, and with the arrival of those who were gorgeously dressed and neat, and who were famous and powerful within a hundred miles of Xiaopan City, these seats gradually filled up......

The breeze, coming from the window, carried a little noise on the street, gently swaying the candles.

Or seeing that the wind was a little naughty, the commander in red armor ordered his subordinates to close the windows in a hurry.

At the front of the hall, at a large round table that could seat several people, were all people with higher status among the people in this room, including Zhao Yun and the elders of the Shang Alliance. And Luo Laosan, because he is the owner, plus he is a related household, is also seated here.

As for those sitting elsewhere, there were quite a few people at the previous auction. The man in the fancy costume, and the woman in the black veil and the red dress.

"Everyone, I am very pleased that everyone can be invited to come, and Zhao is very grateful. A toast as a token of appreciation. ”

In the hall, all the people who were talking and laughing had already sat down. On the main seat of the first table, Zhao Yun stood up, raised his glass and said.

The crowd got up, took their glasses, and drank them all.

"Everyone, please be seated."

"General Zhao, please."

After everyone sat down again, several maids came up and poured wine for everyone. At this moment, Zhao Yun spoke again.

"I think everyone already knows in their hearts the purpose of Zhao's invitation to come here." Seeing the dozens of people in the venue, either silent and contemplative, or nodding their heads, Zhao Yun nodded and continued: "A year ago, Zhao came here, and with the help of you, he opened up this mud pill land to this place. Each of them has made great contributions. ”

"Why did Zilong say this. For us, we are grateful for the convenience you provide. Now that the war is resuming, this day is getting more and more difficult day by day. ”

At the previous auction, the presiding old man Li Changqing stroked his white beard and said with a depressed face: "Right now, this small city here, I'm afraid it shouldn't be able to keep it."

Zhao Yun nodded: "Yes, the Eternal Empire has issued a war letter to my Han, and this battle is inevitable." This invitation is to inform everyone that I, Zhao Yun, will defend this land to the death. Your foundation is here, and please join me in protecting this people. ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere of the audience was instantly heavy. Even Luo Laosan, who was not poor and depressed, and who was not sad when he died, shook his head and was preoccupied.

However, when he saw Ma Hua sitting at the table in the corner, Linglong beside him, his face was not only a little less sad, but also more funny.

It is said that Ma Hua, who looks like Sven, is only eating the food on the table at the moment, and the five plates in front of him were swept away when he grabbed the last chicken leg.

"It's delicious, it's a good place."

Stretching his waist and stretching out his arms, he took the two plates of food not far away.

"Don't worry about them, eat quickly."

Seeing that Linglong heard them say that there was another war, she couldn't help but feel worried. Ma Hua pushed a plate of meat I don't know what kind of meat it was in front of Linglong.

"However, once there is another big battle, the world will be chaotic. ...... to our plans then"

"Shhhhh......h You must know that the extremes of things must be opposed. At the most chaotic time, that is, at the end of the day. Besides, it's only good for us, no harm. ”

Hearing that he had a kind of confidence in strategizing, Linglong nodded slightly in her heart.

Looking at the people in the venue, although they learned about the current situation from some channels, they were still a little hesitant when they really had to face it.

"Xiaopan City is just a rotten shell, and it doesn't have a dangerous place at all. For such a place that is easy to attack and difficult to defend, isn't it clear that we don't want to die when we stay here? ”

"Yes, although General Zhao said that he should be a husband and a wife, there is no guarantee in this place at all."

"Isn't this asking us to stay here and die?"

"That can't be said, Xiaopan City is just a place of trade, and if it is dominated by the merchant alliance, it may not be a place of war."

“……”

There were those in the room who objected to holding on, and some agreed, but most of them were silent.

"That's it!" At the time of chaos, the Confucian old man of the Shang Alliance, who was sitting beside Zhao Yun, stood up and shouted in a low voice, "You are worried, Zilong and I have discussed. Ladies and gentlemen, the main place where the wolf smoke burns is by no means a place where birds don't. Our business alliance has decided that it will vigorously settle in Xiaopan City, as long as it is prosperous here, won't it be easy to improve its defense power? ”

The scene of "this ......" eased a little.

At this time, Zhao Yun also got up and said, "As long as everyone is stationed in Xiaopan City, Zhao will provide more convenience." He also asked the general's palace to discuss the specific implementation. ”

Seeing that someone nodded, Zhao Yun then smiled and picked up his wine glass. "After drinking this glass of wine today, we will be brothers who live and die together from now on." Drink it all down.

In the field, you look at me, I look at you, many people hesitated.

Finally, when Luo Laosan picked up the wine glass, the young man in the Chinese costume picked up the wine glass, and so on one after another, most of the people also took a hard breath and drank the wine.

That's when it happened.

"Ah......h

A cry of agony suddenly came, and the men at the edge of the hall fell one by one.

"What's going on!"

Everyone in the hall hurriedly took a few steps back and looked around.

But when he saw that the fallen people were all sealed with a sword, the blood only flowed out at this moment.

Zhao Yun frowned, and was about to go over to check.

"Whew"! An arrow broke through the air strangely, extremely fast, and it was the center of its eyebrows.

"Presumptuous!" Zhao Yun grabbed it casually and stopped the arrow in his hand. With a slight fend, the arrow broke off, and a faint layer of dust floated up.

"What a rat! Don't show up yet! Zhao Yun drank coldly and stared at the front.

"Hahahaha, it is said that Zhao Zilong's martial arts are outstanding, and it is true!"

In the void ahead, a deep voice came. Then, several strange people wearing dark red wolf head masks and carrying hook knives and swords fluctuated through the space and conjured up.

"Blue Wolf Mountain!"
