In a blink of an eye, it was the tenth day of the fifth month, which was the day of Wang Yuanba's birthday, and when he got up in the morning, he began to get busy, arranging tables and chairs, tidying up the courtyard, and the entire Wang family was very busy.

Wang Yuanba as the owner of the Luoyang Golden Knife Gate, one of the only few congenital masters in Luozhou Wulin, in Luozhou Wulin is Taishan Beidou-like figures, he has a seventy birthday, and has already released the wind, the guests will naturally not be less, and even the Wang family has already received the news, many guests have come to Luoyang County early, are living in the inn, just wait for today's day to come to the door to celebrate the birthday, so the people of the Wang family will get up early in the morning and start to prepare.

Although Ling Zhennan is Wang Yuanba's son-in-law, after all, he is a foreign surname, and the Wang family has two sons, Wang Bofen and Wang Zhongqiang, to greet him, and it is not Ling Zhennan's son-in-law to help take care of him, so although the Wang family is busy, Ling Zhennan and others are very idle.

And because the Wang family has always coveted the Ling family's evil sword technique, Ling Zhennan has always been wary of the Wang family in his heart, and the two families are called in-laws, but they are actually incompatible, so Ling Zhennan is also happy.

However, Wang Yue'e felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, her father's birthday, but she, who was a daughter, stayed idle like a guest, which clearly no longer regarded her as a relative.

She knew why, because just two days ago, her eldest brother and second brother came to her, and the meaning of the words was to let her find a way to steal the evil sword spectrum from her husband's hands and give it to them, and also said that this was not only to improve the strength of the Wang family, but also related to the survival of the Wang family.

But Wang Yue'e didn't believe it at all. Her father and two brothers had been plotting against the Ling family's evil sword technique for a day or two, and even when she was able to marry into the Ling family, it was all the product of their ambition. Because of this, Wang Yue'e didn't believe in the statements of her two brothers at all, if the evil sword spectrum was really related to the survival of the Wang family, the Wang family had not obtained it all these years, why did it not cause any disasters at all, but grew stronger and stronger? After all, it's not greed?

Therefore, when she learned that her father and two brothers were still immortal in the Ling family's evil sword technique, Wang Yue'e did not hesitate at all, and even sternly refused. It is true that she is the daughter of the Wang family. But she is also the daughter-in-law and mother of the Ling family. How could she betray her husband and son for the selfish interests of her mother's family?

Besides, she has been married into the Ling family for so many years, how could she not understand what the evil sword technique is all about? The sword technique of warding off evil is indeed a wonderful sword technique that is difficult to find in the world, but it is also a sword technique that is extremely evil, and it is just an entry requirement for sword training from the palace. It's enough to make people frightened.

Not to mention that the sword technique of warding off evil spirits is the secret of the Ling family's ancestors. There have long been ancestral teachings that are not allowed to leak out in the slightest. Even if she didn't have that, she wouldn't give it to her father and her two brothers, because it wouldn't help them. It hurts them!

It's just sad that her father Wang Yuanba and her two brothers won't understand her painstaking efforts, and even faintly rejected her, as if she is no longer their daughter and sister, but an enemy who is against them! How does this not make Wang Yue'e feel cold and sad?

In fact, Wang Yue'e didn't think about teaching the various divine skills that Ling Muyun taught her to the people of the Wang family, after all, in terms of effect, the effect of these divine skills is not slightly worse than the evil sword technique, and there are no serious side effects like the evil sword technique.

It's just that after thinking about it repeatedly, Wang Yue'e still gave up this idea, with her understanding of her father and two brothers, even if she taught them these magical skills, they would not be satisfied with this, but would most likely have greater greed, forcing her to go to her son to deceive more divine skills, and may even directly target her son, which is not good for her son.

Besides, these magical skills were all taught to his son by the legendary Emperor Zhenwu, if they were preached and spread by her, who knew that they would not anger the Emperor Zhenwu? If she is condemned for this, will she not harm her son?

Ling Zhennan understood his wife's feelings, so he didn't go anywhere, so he stayed in the room to persuade and comfort Wang Yue.

And Wang Yue, under the comfort of her husband, was in a much better mood. It is indeed her misfortune to have such a greedy and ruthless father and brother, but it is her great luck to have a husband like Ling Zhennan who cares for her, there are always regrets in life, it is difficult to be perfect, but with such a husband, she should also be content!

Ling Muyun and the others did not stay in the room, they had nothing to do, so they went out of the courtyard where they lived and wandered around the palace, watching the Wang family busy preparing for it.

Wang Bofen, the eldest of the Wang brothers, commanded the people in the house to prepare the birthday banquet, and the second Wang Zhongqiang went to the gate to welcome the guests, and Wang Yuanba, the old birthday star, sat in the high hall, waiting for the guests to congratulate him on his birthday.

This is also because the status of the people who came to celebrate his birthday at this time was much lower than Wang Yuanba, and he didn't need to greet him personally. However, as the time got closer to noon, some people with relatively high status also began to come to the door one after another, and Wang Yuanba began to sit still.

It was almost noon, five or six hundred distant guests poured in, like the ancestor of the Dahe Gang, Jiyuan County Liuhemen Xia Lao Boxer led three sons-in-law, Longmen three monsters big head monster Pang Bai, bamboo pole monster Zhu Zhi, unicorn monster Lei Heng, Luobei Flying Eagle Fort Lord Pan Roar, Jingjiang Eryou Shendao Bai Ke, Shenbi Luxisi and other famous figures in the Luozhou martial arts have arrived.

Some of these people knew each other well, and some of them were just admired and had never met, and for a while the hall greeted and introduced them, and the noise was loud. Ling Muyun found that these guests who came to congratulate his grandfather on his birthday had a characteristic, except for a small number of people from other states, most of them were characters in the martial arts of Luozhou, and most of them were people in the underworld, and people in the white road could not say that there were none, but there were very few.

Ling Muyun was not surprised by this, you must know that his cheap grandfather is not a kind citizen, but an underworld boss in the Luozhou territory, and the Golden Daomen he is in charge of is actually the largest underworld organization in Luoyang County, and it is also the leader in the green forest underworld in the entire Luozhou territory. As the saying goes, things gather like people, people are grouped, since Wang Yuanba is an underworld boss. He congratulated him on his birthday, and naturally most of the people who came to congratulate him were the characters of the green forest and the underworld.

Seeing that lunch time was approaching, everyone in the Wang family began to prepare for the banquet, commanding the kitchen servants and servants, and the price of wine and food was served, and more than 100 tables were set up inside and out, fortunately, the Wang family's house was big enough, otherwise it really couldn't be opened.

At this time, I saw Wang Zhongqiang, who was welcoming guests outside the door, accompanied by a tall man wearing a yellow shirt and a broadsword at his waist, who walked in from outside the door.

Look at the year. This tall man is also in his thirties. is much smaller than Wang Zhongqiang, but when he walks, he is struggling, with a posture of giving up who is the other, while Wang Zhongqiang accompanies him and talks to him sideways while walking. The flattery is beyond words.

Ling Muyun, who was talking to Huang Rong and the other women in the venue, couldn't help but cast his eyes on the man who had just come in. Wait to see this man's dress. Especially when the broadsword on his waist was in his waist, his eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly, and a cold glow flashed. The blades of many sects in the rivers and lakes are quite special. It is clear at a glance that this man's saber is about twice as wide as an ordinary sabre, which is unique to the Songshan faction.

Sure enough, Wang Zhongqiang accompanied the man to the courtyard, and hurriedly instructed the servants at home: "Go and tell the old lady, just say that Songshan sent the senior disciple of the left head of the sect, Qianzhang Songshi Dengda Shi, to congratulate the left head of the family on behalf of the left head of the family." ”

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Wang Zhongqiang said this very loudly, and everyone in the audience heard it clearly, and couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring, and even the noisy voice in the venue was lowered several degrees at once, and then looked at the man's gaze became different.

The reason why everyone is like this is not because they are afraid of this Shi Dengda, but because they are secretly afraid of the Songshan faction behind Shi Dengda. The Songshan faction, as the head of the Wuyue Sword Sect, is the bull ear of the Wuyue Alliance, although it cannot be compared with a behemoth like the One Sect and the Three Holy Lands, it can be regarded as a first-class faction in the rivers and lakes.

Especially in recent years, since the current head Zuo Guchan took charge of Songshan and became the leader of the Wuyue Alliance, the development momentum of the Songshan faction has been even more rapid, suppressing the limelight of the Siyue Sword Sect, leading the Wuyue Sword Sect to confront the Demon Sect.

Although last year, the Songshan faction clashed with the Nanyue Hengshan faction because of Liu Zhengfeng's golden basin washing his hands, but it was planted in the hands of the Hengshan faction with a favorable location, and the famous Songshan Thirteen Taibao broke two in one go, and as a result, the Wuyue League almost fell apart.

However, after a series of efforts by the Songshan faction, now the Wuyue Alliance has been reconsolidated, and even the Hengshan faction, which claimed to have withdrawn from the Wuyue Alliance, has rejoined the Wuyue Alliance, making the Songshan faction stabilize its position as the head of the Wuyue Sword Faction. And the Songshan faction then did several beautiful things in a row, getting rid of several big thieves and murderers who had been plagued by the rivers and lakes for many years, and their momentum had already recovered.

Because of this, the people in the Songshan faction today have to be looked down upon wherever they go. Although many people in the white road are a little unaccustomed to the domineering behavior of the Songshan faction, and most of the people in the underworld are afraid of the ruthlessness of the Songshan faction, whether in the white road or the underworld, the reputation of the Songshan faction is not very good, but one thing has to be admitted, the Songshan faction is already a first-class force in the rivers and lakes, and it is enough to make many people jealous or fearful of existence!

At this time, I saw Wang Yuanba striding out of the inner hall, and said with a laugh: "Shi Shaoxia came from afar to cheer, the old man is honored, and he is disappointed, forgive his sins." ”

Originally, Shi Dengda was in his thirties, and he had already made a name for himself in the rivers and lakes, so it was not so appropriate to call him a young man. But Wang Yuanba is seventy years old, as a senior in the rivers and lakes, and a congenital master, it is not an exaggeration to call him a young man.

"Shi was ordered by the master to come to congratulate the old man on his birthday, and wish the old man Wang a blessing like the long flowing water of the East China Sea, and a longevity better than the old pine of Nanshan." Shi Dengda gave a salute to Wang Yuanba, took out a small gift box a few inches square from his arms, handed it over with both hands, and said: "This is the birthday gift that the family master ordered to bring to the old man Wang, and I also ask the old man Wang to accept it." ”

Wang Yuanba said with a red face: "The head of Zuo is really too polite, he is in charge of the big faction, and he can still remember to send a young man to congratulate the old man, and the old man is already full of hospitality, why bring another gift?" I really dare not be ashamed! ”

"This is a little bit of the meaning of the family teacher, and please smile at the old man Wang."

"Since that's the case, then the old man will accept it with shame."

Wang Yuanba accepted the gift box with a smile and didn't open it. directly handed it over to Wang Zhongqiang beside him, and asked his son to send it to the backyard gift room to be put away. In fact, he didn't care what gift Zuo Guchan gave, after all, he was also a big family, what good things had he never seen? What really made him pay attention was the face that Songshan sent to him.

When he celebrated his birthday, even Zuo Guchan, the head of Songshan, sent someone to celebrate his birthday and give gifts, saying how face-saving he was? In the future, who in the rivers and lakes will not look down on him and the Golden Sword King's family? In the future, if anyone wants to move his royal family, he must weigh it first.

Although the backers behind their Wang family are actually only stronger than the Songshan faction, not weaker than the Songshan faction, but that is not visible and cannot be publicized, no matter how hard the backers behind their Wang family are. Only their Wang family knows. But it's not as long as the Songshan faction.

Wang Yuanba chose the highest status among the heroes present to introduce Shi Dengda, Shi Dengda looked arrogant and ignored, as if he was condescending to meet these people. Although the heroes are angry in their hearts. But thinking of his identity as the head disciple of the Songshan faction. They all endured it.

It wasn't until Wang Yuanba introduced Ling Zhennan, who had come to the venue with Wang Yue. This Shi Dengda changed his original attitude of ignoring him, and glanced at Ling Zhennan up and down, and then said with a sneer: "Although I am in the north. But I have heard people talk about the name of the Ling family's evil sword technique more than once, and I thought that Mr. Ling was such a hero, but now it seems that he ...... tsk"

Speaking of this, this Shi Dengda shook his head and sighed, although the next words were not spoken, as long as he was not a fool, he could hear the meaning of his words, obviously sarcastic Ling Zhennan was not as famous as he met, and he was not worthy of his name.

Ling Zhennan was not annoyed at all when he heard this, smiled slightly, and said: "It was all the Yu Yin of the ancestors and the friends on the rivers and lakes who gave face, so that Ling had a meagre name, and I didn't want it to reach the ears of a famous brother like Brother Shi, I am really ashamed, ashamed!" ”

Seeing Ling Zhennan like this, Shi Dengda felt like a punch on the cotton, and he didn't have any strength, thinking that he could make the other party angry, but he didn't want to let Ling Zhennan expose it so lightly.

Ling Muyun, who was sitting not far away, saw a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and a little Songshan disciple dared to run to mock his father, he was really looking for death. In his heart, he had secretly decided that if he met this Shi Dengda on the rivers and lakes in the future, he would never be left alive.

After a brief introduction, Wang Yuanba saw that Shi Dengda was a little unsociable with everyone present, so he invited Shi Dengda to rest in the inner hall, and Wang Zhongqiang went out again to welcome guests.

Not long after that, I suddenly heard the sound of drums outside the door, and the sound of gongs and shouts, as if someone from the government was coming. The heroes present couldn't help but be stunned, the court and the martial arts have always gone their own way, and the well water does not interfere with the river water, how could someone from the government suddenly come at this time?

At this time, I saw a servant of the Wang family hurriedly come in and walk into the inner hall, and then I saw Wang Yuanba hurriedly come out of the inner hall. The crowd congratulated happily, and Wang Yuanba bowed his hand slightly, and walked out of the door. Everyone present couldn't help but wonder secretly, who is coming? Let Wang Yuanba treat it so solemnly! Even if Songshan sent someone just now, he just took him out of the inner hall, but this time he went out directly.

After a while, I saw Wang Yuanba respectfully accompanying an official in official uniform to walk in from outside, and behind the official was two guards wearing official uniforms and swords at their waists.

The heroes are all strange, could it be that this official is also a martial arts master? I heard that the golden knife is difficult to defeat Wang Yuanba's birthday, so I came to congratulate him? It's just that although this official is dressed and dressed in a royal manner, his eyes are dizzy, his face is wine-colored, and his feet are frivolous and rootless, but he doesn't look like he has martial arts.

However, the temples of the two guards who followed him with calm steps were bulging high, and there was a faint light in their eyes. Although I can't see how high the martial arts of these two people are, judging from the appearance alone, the vast majority of people present are probably not the opponents of these two people.

The heroes secretly guessed what the origin of this official was, worthy of Wang Yuanba's personal greeting, so respectfully accompanied?

Among them, the idea turned fast is all of a sudden, the Wang family is the leading non-staff member of Luoyang County, the head snake of Luoyang County, usually inevitably has to make friends with the government, today is a good day for Wang Yuanba's birthday, and it is not surprising that local officials came to congratulate him on his birthday. From the two guards who followed behind the official, it can be seen that the identity of this official is probably not low, otherwise he would not have labored Wang Yuanba to greet him in person, and there are such expert guards by his side.

Among the heroes, the person who was rough with the rules of officialdom was even more surprised, because judging from the official style worn by this official who was accompanied by Wang Yuanba, this official turned out to be a second-grade official, but it was impossible to distinguish whether it was the second grade or the second grade. When he asked the servants of the Wang family who were waiting for him nearby, he learned that this official was actually the highest governor of Luozhou, the state pastor of Luozhou, Kaizhi.

Knowing this, the heroes present were all shocked, the state pastor is not a petty official, but a serious feudal official, in charge of millions of people in a state, on the horse to manage the army, off the horse to manage the people, the power in his hands is amazing, even if the heroes who came to congratulate the birthday are all people in the rivers and lakes who have violated the ban with martial arts, after learning the identity of Wang Kaizhi, they can't help but add a pressure in their hearts.

Especially today, most of these people who came to congratulate him are green forest underworld figures, and many of them are the targets of the imperial court's pursuit, so they are even more frightened, if it is not too conspicuous to get up and leave at this time, it is easier to attract attention, I am afraid that a small half of these guests will sneak away.

In addition to being shocked, many people also secretly admired the Wang family's skill in their hearts, as the underworld scoop in Luoyang County, not only did the righteous Dao send people to Songshan to congratulate him, but also made friends with Luoyang County, which is also the highest governor of the entire Luozhou land, Zhou Mu, which can really be called black and white. With such a big Buddha as a backer, on the territory of Luozhou, who else dares to provoke their Golden Sword King family? (To be continued......)
