Chapter Twenty-Four: If the sword is wanted, so should the man

As night fell, the Lord's Mansion of the Ninth District was lit up with lights and traffic. Dressed in full costume, Lanros and two other young men who vaguely resemble him greet guests at the door.

Groups of richly dressed guests streamed in, and Lanros's handsome face stiffened with laughter, and his two half-brothers were certainly no better.

Finally, the last group of guests had arrived, and Lanlos hurriedly waved his hand to one of his subordinates, and asked anxiously, "How is it, have you been invited?"

The subordinate said respectfully: "Don't worry, young master, the person has already arrived and has already prepared it in the kitchen." ”

"That's good!" Lanlos was overjoyed, "he has to try to meet any of his requests, don't delay him cooking, do you hear?"

The subordinate asked puzzledly: "The eldest young master, I heard that the gifts prepared by the second young master and the third young master are not small, let's take a dish to congratulate the master on his birthday, isn't it a bit big?"

Lan Luo said proudly: "You don't understand this, I can guarantee that this dish is definitely the most eye-catching gift tonight, my father will definitely like it, you just wait and see!"

The subordinate muttered in his heart, "I hope so..."

In the glittering lobby, guests take turns to congratulate Lord Lester on his birthday and present them one by one.

Lester was full of silver hair, burly in shape, with a pair of shining eyes, and his spirit looked even better than that of the average young man, and he did not look like an old man who had already entered the age of sixties.

He was born in the military, and he still serves as the commander of the defense position of Xicheng District in the military department, which is a position of real power second only to the commander-in-chief of the city lord.

After the birthday celebration, the three brothers beckoned everyone to the table.

At the largest long table in the center of the hall, Lester sat on the main seat with his waist straight, and to his left was the family led by Lanrose. On the right-hand side were the lords led by a brown-haired old man of his age, and the youngest lord of the tenth district sat at the bottom.

The status of women in the Qianyuan Realm is very low, so the lord's wives and concubines are not qualified to sit at the main table, but sit in the corner.

The table was full of food, but most of it was barbecue, no way, the cooking skills of the people in the Qianyuan Realm were like this.

After three rounds of drinking, the brown-haired old man said with a smile: "Big brother, I heard that your three sons have prepared a big gift for you today, when can we open our eyes?"

"Brother Muth, you don't know those three unsuccessful guys, thank God for not causing trouble for me, what other good things can you get?" Although Lester was smiling bitterly, there was a smug look on his face that could not be concealed, "Lanloth, then you will take turns to take out the birthday gift, let the big guy take a good look, and help the wine!"

"Father, that," Lanros said embarrassedly, "I haven't prepared my gift yet, so let Pardeson and Valen bring it out first." ”

"You!" Lester's old face darkened, if it weren't for the presence of so many guests, his temper would have been whipped up a long time ago.

Lester's biggest hobby in his life is beauty and face, and Lanlos actually dared to embarrass him in public, so he was naturally very dissatisfied with him.

Pardson smiled and stood up: "Father, since the eldest brother's gift can't be held for a while, let me come first!"

In the face of his younger brother's downfall, Lan Luo secretly hated in his heart, but what he hated even more was the old man Mutt, who actually made suggestions as soon as the banquet began, which was really hateful! Before the banquet, he had already gone to the kitchen to see it himself, and Qin Luo had already told him that it would be at least half an hour!

Lanlos was born to Lester's wife, and the second and third were born to younger and more beautiful concubines. The three of them were already fighting openly and secretly for inheritance, but now seeing Lan Luos actually disgrace his father on such an important day really made the two younger brothers feel very happy.

After hearing the words of the second son, Lester's face softened slightly, nodded and said, "Then you can come first, don't let the distinguished guests be too disappointed." ”

"Please rest assured, Father!" Padson snapped his fingers, and the hall suddenly went dark, and all the lighting hedrons had been covered by the servants with gauze covers, and only a dim glow could be emitted.

Just when the guests were in doubt, a beautiful flute suddenly sounded, and a silver light lit up in the corner of the lobby.

Everyone looked up, and the light reflected a graceful and moving figure, which turned out to be a woman dancing to the sound of the flute with a long sword in her hand.

Although the woman's appearance could not be seen clearly, her movements were elegant and charming, and her long skirt was flowing and agile, which made the guests present look fascinated.

The sound of the flute became lighter and faster, and the woman's movements became faster and faster, and the long sword in her hand danced into a dazzling screen, which caused everyone to applaud.

The sound of the flute gradually increased, and the long sword had been swung to the extreme, and then both stopped abruptly at the same time, and the hall immediately regained its light, and a young girl with a sword stood in the field, which was so beautiful that people were intoxicated.

All the guests applauded enthusiastically, and the girl bowed slightly to everyone, and then walked towards Lester Yingying.

Parderson smiled slightly: "This Yinlin Sword was forged by the dwarven forging master Haroff, and it ranks eighth among the top ten famous swords in Dongshengzhou. I happened to meet it when I traveled to Daliang City this year, so I spent a lot of money to buy it as a birthday gift, and asked my father to laugh!"

The girl bowed her head and half-knelt in front of Lester, and offered the silver sword with both hands.

"Okay, I'll take the sword. Lester laughed, took the long sword in his hand, and pulled the girl into his arms again, "Man, I will accept it too!"

"Father, you have a good eye!" Pardeson had already guessed this result, and hurriedly flattered, "She is the most famous Oiran in Daliang City, I wish my father can show his power tonight!"

"Your gift is good, it is very much to my liking. Lester sat down satisfied, and a servant hastened to bring a chair and let the maiden sit beside him for a drink.

Valen stood up and said, "Father, it's my turn next. ”

Lester hugged the girl and smiled, "Okay, let me see what kind of gift you have!"

Valen snapped his fingers as well, and a few seconds later, two big men walked in carrying a large white box.

The box was placed on the ground before it was opened, and the lobby was already filled with a faint fragrance, and everyone stood up and discussed, guessing what kind of treasure was inside...

At this time, Qin Luo was busy in the kitchen, several cauldrons were steaming at the same time, and Shen Yun was sitting on the side with the little orange cat yawning boredly...
