Chapter 53: What Does the City Lord Want?
"From this point of view, you and Brother Chuan are unexpectedly similar, no wonder they can become friends as soon as they meet. Liang Mingxuan said with a smile.
"Childe praised it falsely. Zhao Changfeng said with his fists clenched.
Liang Mingxuan shook his head with a smile, then noticed something, and said with a smile: "Ha, I almost forgot about the banquet, let's not delay any longer, Zhao Gongzi, you and I will go together." ”
Zhao Changfeng nodded, and the two left the scarred courtyard together.
"Young Master......"
Among the people who had come to watch the battle before hearing the sound, and were leaving the courtyard at this time, an old man with silver hair and shimmering said in a low voice, "Is the person you want to find in there?"
The old man is full of spirit and introverted, although his skinny body seems to be unsupported, which makes him slightly hunchbacked, but there is a tenacity on his body that is extremely inconsistent with his appearance, although he doesn't know how to cultivate, but at a glance he doesn't look like a general. However, if compared with the young man next to him, the momentum of the old man is not so conspicuous.
"I did find one, but I didn't know if I didn't meet the requirements so early, I just thought this person was more interesting. The young man who was called the young master shook his head with a smile, his face was as glorious as jade, and his bearing was calm.
"What the young master said is reasonable, whether it is the person you are looking for or not, it is already a great blessing to be favored by the son. The old man nodded and said in a low voice.
The young man stopped, turned his head to look at the old man, and said slyly: "It's a little too much, Liu Xianfeng, you must know that now in the family, I am almost synonymous with high ambitions, is it really appropriate for you to make sycophants like this now?
"Look no further. ”
The "Liu Offering" in the young man's mouth smiled, and the old face was immediately covered with folds, and said: "The more valuable the treasure, the fewer people who know the goods, just because the vision has not arrived." ”
The young man shook his head, pointed at the old man and said with a smile: "Liu Xianfeng, Liu Xianfeng, I didn't expect that for such a long time, I would ignore your most powerful ability, okay, in addition to martial arts in the future, I will also ask you for advice on this sycophancy." ”
An old man and a young man looked at each other for a few seconds, and then laughed.
...
A moment later, Zhao Changfeng and Liang Mingxuan came to the venue where the banquet was held, in the meeting hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
The meeting hall in the city lord's mansion is also the place where the city lord of Zhenhai City meets with his subordinate officials and deals with the military and political affairs of the Northern Regions on weekdays, but in the past, it was such a serious place, but today's atmosphere is lively.
At the high point in front of the hall, a magnificent throne stood in the center, so conspicuous in the hall that almost everyone could imagine how majestic and domineering it must be when someone sat on it and faced the officers below.
But today, there is no person sitting on it, but directly below it, where everyone is close, there is a more full-scale, the widest chair, on which sits a middle-aged man with an elegant face, the man is smiling heartily, talking loudly with the people next to him, although it looks very cordial and enthusiastic, but in its every move, it will still reveal a trace of majesty and domineering that only people who have been in a high position for a long time can have.
"Sitting on the throne is my father, the lord of Zhenhai City. Liang Mingxuan said to Zhao Changfeng. At this moment, the elegant middle-aged man on the main seat also saw the two of them, and his eyes immediately lit up, and he laughed loudly: "Ming Xuan, is this the young genius who is famous in the city today, Zhao Changfeng Xiaoyou?"
Hearing the words of the city lord at this time, everyone followed his line of sight at this time and looked at the figure outside the hall, and the audience immediately fell silent.
At this time, looking at him were the genius young men who had met by chance before and their other classmates, as well as the elders in various forces, because what happened among the young people just now had reached their ears, so they were also very curious about Zhao Changfeng at this time, and some people's eyes were full of scrutiny, wanting to know from their bodies whether this young man named Zhao Changfeng really had the kind of strength he showed.
"Hello city lord, it's Zhao Changfeng down there. ”
Under the eyes of everyone, Zhao Changfeng looked calm, and at this time, he hugged his fists and bent down slightly to say hello, and the whole process was smooth and smooth, without any nervousness. Although some of the elders present still didn't know what Zhao Changfeng's strength was, they still nodded slightly for the other party's bearing at this time.
"Haha, kid is good, I just heard that after Zhao Xiaoyou came to the mansion, he made another limelight and beat up a lot of our nephews and nieces?"
"Back to the city, the kid can defeat a few people, but he just took advantage of the loophole and caught the senior brothers and sisters off guard, in fact, if you fight seriously, I don't dare to guarantee 100% victory over the other party. Zhao Changfeng hugged his fists and bowed, and his answer was neither humble nor arrogant, neither belittling himself nor exalting others, just telling the truth, but just this was enough to fully reveal the confidence in his words.
Hearing this, the city lord nodded, and said with satisfaction: "Yes, there is strength, courage, and the madness that a young man should have, I don't remember that I missed such talents in the Northern Regions, where are you from, young man?"
"The Lord of the Hui City, who is from the Northern Desert, is a scorpion in the desert. Zhao Changfeng replied again, as soon as this remark came out, it caused a lot of sensation.
"Desert scorpions. ”
"It turned out to be from the Northern Desert, I said how could such a person not have an impression before. "Someone suddenly realized.
"It's just that such outstanding talents can appear in barren places like the Northern Desert. One person showed some novelty, but someone on the side reminded him: "It is rumored that the master of the Desert Scorpion is also an existence in the Heavenly Master Realm, and that power cannot be underestimated. ”
At this moment, Liang Mingxuan interjected on the side: "Everyone, Zhao Gongzi is not only from the Northern Desert, but he also crossed the Lost Mountain Range to get here. ”
Liang Mingxuan said before that he had investigated Zhao Changfeng, so with his ability, it was naturally easy to know these things about Zhao Changfeng, but Zhao Changfeng was not so surprised in his heart.
Hearing him say this at this moment, the conversation of the people around him became even louder.
"Actually crossed the Lost Mountains?" Even the people on the field who were not happy were slightly moved.
The city lord smiled even more, "The young man is not small, and you are also ignorant and fearless, the danger of tracing the mountains, even if I go deep into it, it is extremely troublesome, don't do it again when you go back." ”
Saying this, the high-ranking man beckoned and said to Zhao Changfeng: "Young man, come and sit next to me, let's have a good chat later." ”
City Lord Liang's intimate action at this time shocked everyone in the audience, but at this time, everyone had a tacit understanding and did not show it, and at the moment they made a louder sound of talk and laughter, as if they wanted to deliberately dilute the impact of this impact on the atmosphere, but at this time, Zhao Changfeng felt that an obvious pressure was coming from all around, pressing on himself.
Obviously, the elders of each family are a little worried about Zhao Changfeng being able to get such an arrangement, but these things are not related to the teenagers and girls for the time being.
"Zhao boy, this old boy surnamed Liang has been on your body several times since just now, if you continue like this, even the ancestor and I may be discovered by him, I will hide it first, and then it will be up to you to deal with it yourself." ”
In the sea of knowledge, the bloody ancestor completely disappeared from Zhao Changfeng's sea of knowledge after saying such a sentence, and he didn't know where he was hiding, and even Zhao Changfeng himself could no longer find the slightest trace of him.
"I guess he just knows what I'm talking about. Zhao Changfeng said to himself, and then stepped forward and sat down in a position under the city lord.
In this room, a position represents a force, because there are several people in a force present, so the position is set up relatively wide, at this time, there is only Zhao Changfeng in front of the huge table, which seems a little empty, so Liang Mingxuan is also arranged to sit next to him.
This time, in addition to the pressure of the elders, Zhao Changfeng felt the pressure from the teenagers and girls again.
"It's a good move to sow discord, what is this city lord going to do. Zhao Changfeng smiled bitterly in his heart, and at the same time was a little nervous, you must know that the city lord of Zhenhai City is a strong man who has stepped into the divine realm, and the martial artist has reached such a point, and his every move has irresistible power, and it is not a problem to move mountains and reclaim the sea, and such an existence is sitting beside him at this moment.
Although Zhao Changfeng knew that with the ability of a Divine Realm martial artist, the control of his own strength must be extremely subtle, but this was like sitting next to the most dangerous weapon in the world, no matter how big the heart was, there was still some nervousness in his heart.
At this time, Zhao Changfeng couldn't help but look around to distract himself, but he found that there was another place in the field that was as empty as his own, and there was only a handsome young man and an old man sitting in it, but from the expressions of the two people, it could be found that the identities of the old man and the young man did not look like elders and disciples, but the son seemed to be the master, and the old man was the attendant.
Perhaps sensing his gaze, the young man turned his head and looked over, and found that it was Zhao Changfeng who smiled slightly after looking at him, then raised the wine glass in his hand, shook it and saluted him, and then drank it.
Zhao Changfeng was stunned, and he was shaken when he picked it up, and gave a cup in return.
After a glass of wine, there was a strong burning sensation, but what followed was not pain, but an extreme feeling of comfort, as if the muscles that had been sore for a day finally ushered in a full massage, followed by a sudden extra force in the body, making Zhao Changfeng's face a little red.
"This wine is a famous grandmaster brew in my Zhenhai City, its wine power is so strong that even the grandmaster realm can get drunk, for the martial soul realm, the wine power is stronger, Zhao Gongzi don't be anxious, you can adapt slowly." Liang Mingxuan, who was on the side, saw him like this and reminded in a low voice.
"I see, thank you Liang Gongzi. Zhao Changfeng nodded, then turned his head to look at the wine glass in his hand, a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes, and poured himself another glass.
