Chapter Forty-Eight: Invited to the Arrival
Zhao Changfeng stood still at this moment and looked at the person in front of him.
I saw that this person had a pale complexion, about thirty years old, a blue-and-white costume looked a little dazzling on the street, and the style of the jacket and pants was roughly similar, it should be a uniform, and he had already gotten up after a salute at the moment, his eyes flashed, although his eyes were not fluttering, but he was still looking at this Zhao Changfeng in secret, and he was a shrewd person at a glance.
In fact, with the conspicuousness of this person, Zhao Changfeng had already noticed him early when he just walked out, and at this moment, considering the level of attention he has received now, this kind of person is easy to be regarded by him as one of the people who follow him.
And the reason why he didn't leave immediately was that this person only had the realm of a military general, and he was not a threat to himself, and he had never shown the slightest hostility from just now to now. The second is the dress on this person and the unique pattern on his chest, Zhao Changfeng, who has talked with Liang Chuan, the young master of the City Lord's Mansion for a long time, is naturally no stranger, and this person in front of him is the person on duty in the City Lord's Mansion.
"First of all, congratulations to Zhao Gongzi for his victory over Zhong Renfeng, the senior brother of Jinguangmen, who became famous in the city with only one battle, presumably with the continuous circulation of the highlights of this battle, even among the geniuses in the entire Northern Regions, you will have a place. The man couldn't help but say when he saw him, and then hugged his fists and congratulated.
"It's over, and thank you for helping me get rid of the people who are following me. Zhao Changfeng's smile remained unchanged and returned the salute.
"Childe noticed very little, and it was really extraordinary, since this is the case, I will not continue to sell with Childe. ”
A hint of surprise flashed in this person's eyes, and then he smiled and said, "The villain's name is Xu Qi, and he is a third-class guard officer subordinate to the City Lord's Mansion, and this time the City Lord's Mansion sent me to invite Gongzi to tonight's party." ”
"What kind of party?" Zhao Changfeng asked, although he already had an answer in his heart.
"Recently, due to the opening of the Tianmu Secret Realm in the Northern Regions, most of the forces in the Northern Regions have come to the city one after another, and the arrival of the big names such as the door masters of these forces has naturally brought the geniuses of the younger generation in their respective forces, so taking this opportunity, the City Lord's Mansion decided to feast all forces, first, Zhenhai City, the lord of the Northern Regions, wants to do the best of the friendship of the landlord, and secondly, let these young generation of geniuses have more contact and exchange cultivation feelings. ”
"The banquet time is tonight, and it was already prepared, but the battle between you and Zhong Renfeng suddenly spread throughout the city, and the city lord only then knew that there was still a genius like Zhao Gongzi and you who were missed, so the special dispatch invited Gongzi down, I don't know what Gongzi wants. Xu Qi carefully explained the ins and outs of the matter.
"In my opinion, I'm afraid the purpose of the City Lord's Mansion to hold this banquet is more than that, right?" Zhao Changfeng said with a smile.
"Uh... That's it, I don't know how Childe said that. Xu Qi said a little nervously.
Zhao Changfeng's face did not change, and he continued: "If I am not mistaken, the City Lord's Mansion is preparing for the Tianmu Secret Realm that will open in half a month. It's just that if I was exploring the secret realm, wouldn't I get more out of entering alone than joining other teams? In that case, why would I still join the City Lord's Mansion? I wonder if Mr. Xu can solve my doubts. ”
When Xu Qi heard that Zhao Changfeng said this, his expression struggled slightly, but he still continued: "Son, then I will say it directly." ”
"Although with your strength, as long as you are careful when entering the secret realm, you will not encounter any trouble, but everything is afraid of what happens, there is only one life, as long as you encounter this in case, everything will be over. ”
"And there are still many benefits to joining the city lord's mansion, first of all, the safety has been guaranteed, all the people on the side of the city lord's mansion enter the secret realm, and the genius descendants of all parties will each get two jade treasures made by the city lord himself, which contain the city lord's own defensive magic power and an attack magic power, each magic power contains the power of the city lord thirty percent, the city lord is a god realm powerhouse, these two treasures can be imagined how powerful they will be, as long as they are used properly, they will not encounter any danger in the secret realm. Naturally, this can only be done by the City Lord's Mansion. ”
Speaking of this, Xu Qi's face rose with a hint of pride, and he continued to gush: "And the second benefit is to gain more, although what Childe said before is also right to risk alone to get more, but I also want to remind Childe that the fact you said is also that there is no condition in case, and under the general calculation, in previous years, it was the team of the City Lord's Mansion that gained more." ”
"Anyone who joins the team of the City Lord's Mansion only needs to take out thirty percent of the harvest, and compared to it, the other forces do not have the strength to send too many people, so the harvest of the payment is more, and at least you have to take out half of it. ”
Speaking of this, Xu Qi's expression was a little entangled, obviously not knowing whether to say the next words or not, but after thinking about it, he had already said so much, so he simply didn't care about it, gritted his teeth and said, "Childe, I still have a secret to tell you here." ”
Zhao Changfeng nodded and motioned for him to continue.
Xu Qi first looked around, then leaned his head forward and said in a low voice: "In previous years, the Tianmu Secret Realm was opened, and Zhenhai City had a large number of places, but there were not so many qualified young elites in the City Lord's Mansion, so they all gathered people from all sides, and those forces also sent the most elite children of their own disciples, and the two parties were in a mutually beneficial relationship." ”
"And after they send out their elites, they recruit people to fill the vacancies of their own places, so that they will naturally not be as attentive as their own children, and some will be accompanied by dangerous tasks, hired people fight desperately all the way, and get very little compared to their own efforts, and some forces with bad character will even die without help, so that all your gains will go into their pockets. This kind of thing... Even the other four generals sometimes do. ”
Xu Qi's words became softer and softer, and when it came to the last sentence, only a breath came out, but Zhao Changfeng had already heard it clearly.
"Childe, I've said everything I should have said, and I've said what I shouldn't say, if you don't go with me again, I haven't brought anyone to reveal so many secrets, I'm afraid that I will be killed when I go back. ”
Xu Qi spread his hands here as he spoke, looking helpless, Zhao Changfeng looked approachable, and he didn't have the frame of a young man, which made him make a rare joke.
"I have one last question. Zhao Changfeng smiled and asked, "In addition to me, how many other people have been invited from the City Lord's Mansion?"
"A total of thirty-four forces have been invited to tonight's banquet, and each force will send the most outstanding people of its own young generation, and in the next half a month, dozens of forces will come one after another, plus some young people invited by the mansion to cultivate, and when the Tianmu Secret Realm opens, more than 100 young powerhouses can be recruited. ”
"More than 100 people?"
Hearing this number, Zhao Changfeng was really surprised in his heart, although he had expected that there would be a lot of people in the City Lord's Mansion, but he didn't expect that there would be such a big advantage.
"What kind of strength are these people?" Zhao Changfeng asked.
"Anyone who is invited by the City Lord's Mansion is at least the cultivation of the Great Perfection of the Martial Spirit, but more people are still in the Martial Soul Realm, and as for the specific cultivation, it is not what I know, but most of them should be the first and second level of the Martial Soul realm. ”
Xu Qi thought for a moment and quickly added: "This kind of realm is considered to be the top in the secret realm, anyway, you will definitely not see a martial artist above the third level of the martial soul realm in the secret realm." ”
Zhao Changfeng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with Mr. Xu." ”
"Zhao Gongzi is really happy! You defeated Zhong Renfeng, who is considered a master among these young geniuses today, and you must be the focus of everyone at tonight's banquet, please come with me." Xu Qi looked excited, in the end, he was just a petty official who sent a message, and he was so clever that he handed over this matter to him, and now he can bring back Zhao Changfeng, who is valued by the above, and some rewards are inevitable.
...
Although Zhenhai City is large, but under the foot power of the two, it has not been long before they have come to the most central area of Zhenhai City, in fact, when appreciating the magnificent appearance of Zhenhai City, Zhao Changfeng is quite curious about the capital of this city, but this is a heavy place, it has been heavily guarded, and it is impossible for anyone to enter at all.
Perhaps it is for the needs of martial law on weekdays in military and political places such as the City Lord's Mansion, although it is in the center of the city, this area is less prosperous than the surrounding areas, and there are few people walking around the street, which seems a little cold.
However, this place is absolutely not desolate to the word, only to see the surrounding high-rise buildings, its density is not much different from the bustling city center, on the contrary, although the appearance of this building is not good, but it is extremely solid, the technology and materials used in it are far beyond the former, it is these buildings that support everything in the vast territory of Zhenhai City, is the cornerstone of Zhenhai City.
Seeing Zhao Changfeng's expression of interest, Xu Qi was also interested, the introduction of the surroundings along the way was not ominous, as long as it did not involve secrets, all of them were known, and at this time, even Zhao Changfeng had to admit that not to mention the top combat power, the comprehensive strength of Zhenhai City was much stronger than that of the desert scorpion.
However, this is not to say that it is a matter of the high-level decision-making of the Desert Scorpion, but the difficult environment determines that the development of a force is destined to be deformed, because he has to guard against all threats all the time, and it cannot develop evenly at all, if the infrastructure of the Desert Scorpion can have half of Zhenhai City, I am afraid that now it has already unified all the strength of the Northern Desert and become the overlord of Zhenhai City in all aspects.
Thinking of this at this moment, Zhao Changfeng couldn't help but put away his thoughts, because at this moment, the two of them had come to the real core place, the City Lord's Mansion.
Maybe he was used to seeing all kinds of magnificent buildings before, and although the City Lord's Mansion in front of him at this moment was also quite good, it did not bring Zhao Changfeng an unexpected feeling.
"The City Lord's Mansion was already heavily guarded, and the City Lord was in the middle of it, so it wasn't built very luxuriously. Maybe it was because he saw the look in his eyes, Xu Qi explained.
