Volume 1 Falling into Darkness Chapter 57 The City Lord's Mansion Night Banquet

In Ba Shui City, the night without curfew is much more lively than the day.

Qin Chuan, who had just become the new Baisheng person, returned to the small courtyard after leaving the martial arts arena, and at this moment he was frantically absorbing the vitality in a piece of glazed yuan crystal.

The battle of the day exhausted all the vitality in the three Yuan Acupoints, coupled with the consumption of the ability Black Pupil, Qin Chuan almost fainted on the spot, but fortunately, he returned to the small courtyard in time with the replenishment of Yuan Jing.

Outside the small courtyard, a team of city guards waited in front of the door early, they were here to pick up Qin Chuan and go to the City Lord's Mansion to attend the banquet, and the reward of the hundred victories, Han Sha Yuanshui, would also be handed over to Qin Chuan, a hundred victorious people, in front of many famous clans in Bashui City at the banquet.

In the courtyard, Qin Chuan sprinkled the powder that had been turned into the exhausted Yuan Crystal in his hand on the ground, the sky had completely darkened, and the banquet in the City Lord's Mansion was about to start.

In the daytime battle, the vitality consumed has been replenished by the glazed Yuanjing, and as for the injury, Zhou Yating's last fall was a little hard, but fortunately, it did not hurt the internal organs, and it can be eliminated over time.

There are people coming and going inside and outside the city lord's mansion, and all the people who can be regarded as having a head and face in Bashui City have received invitations to the banquet, and even if the local clan is not the patriarch himself, he will send an important clan member to the banquet.

Although the protagonist of this banquet is the victor on the battlefield, the doorway in this banquet is not small. As a big city in the rear of the Qingyang Empire, Ba Shui City is mixed, and if Ba Shui Liushi wants to control Ba Shui City, it is indispensable to need the support of these large and small clans.

A banquet, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, is enough for Liu Shi, who is sitting in the Bashui City City Lord's Mansion, to see the careful thoughts of those clans, whether they secretly have different intentions, or just want to survive in peace.

And those big and small clans didn't come from the city lord's mansion blindly, and I don't know how many of them planned to win over Yum's minds. If the Yum people can defeat the first-order people of the fourth order of the city guards, it is naturally worth them to throw out the temptation, win them into the family, and serve them. Or maybe they took a fancy to the cold scare yuan water that was about to fall into Qin Chuan's hands, although these big and small clans also had some financial resources, but the cold scare yuan water was not something that could be obtained at will if they had money, could they let Qin Chuan sell them some when they saw it, a cultivator without a background would inevitably be unable to resist the temptation of crystal coins.

Liu An, who changed into an old and heavy color clothes, was busy tonight, and the trivial matters of the banquet arrangement naturally did not require him to be busy as the host, but those people of large and small clans who went to the banquet needed him to greet him personally, which of these people was not the size of the clan, and it was natural not to be perfunctory when greeting, and polite words were also indispensable to say, and they could not lose the bearing of being a host, nor could they lose the face of the guests.

Young Master Liu had been standing there for a long time, his mouth was dry, and when he saw another invited head of the family in front of the house, he couldn't stop, so he immediately put on a smile that was about to stiffen and greeted him.

Usually, such a banquet is presided over by Liu Chaoping, the city lord of Bashui City, but this time it was replaced by Liu An, the young city lord, and in the eyes of those clans, it is necessary to think about it, does this mean that Bashui City will fall steadily into the hands of this young man who greeted him with a smile in the city lord's mansion in the future, and whether Liu Chaoping began to plan to let him slowly retire behind the scenes.

Qin Chuan came to the City Lord's Mansion under the guidance of a team of city guards, and as soon as he arrived at the gate of the mansion, he saw Liu An being pulled by the greasy hands of a fat old man who was full of copper smell, and the fat old man said that there was a young and beautiful woman in the family who had not yet been married, and he couldn't wait to marry the plump daughter who was famous in Bashui City and was not inferior to him.

As soon as Liu An saw Qin Chuan's arrival, he suddenly felt like he had met a savior, and forcibly apologized a few words to the richest businessman in Bashui City in front of him on the grounds that he had been a guest, and then he forced himself out from under the greasy and fat man, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Chuan came late, and those from the big and small clans arrived early, and before the banquet was held, three people and five people gathered together. Liu An welcomed Qin Chuan into the mansion, and it was time for the banquet.

As the master, Liu An sat on the seat where his father Liu Chao usually sat flat, and down was Qin Chuan and Zhou Yating who were sitting opposite, and then down were those from large and small clans.

At the beginning of the banquet, five or six carefully selected dancers presented an elegant and vulgar short dance accompanied by a melodious piano sound, which made the guests present feel like a spring breeze and were intoxicated.

The dancer retreated, and it was the turn of the host of Liu An to speak, Liu An was born in everyone, and there was a demeanor between the words, and it was more than enough to deal with such an occasion.

Qin Chuan has learned the lesson of the last time, and he knows that he has a lot of "mass", so he doesn't dare to despise the wine in the cup. When he raised the delicate jade wine glass, the vitality in his body was already ready, and the vitality of the wine was exhausted all the way to the entrance, and then he spit out a mouthful of wine, and the previous wine in his stomach was no different from ordinary clear water.

After a glass of wine, at the signal of Liu An, an attendant held a wooden box and sent it to Qin Chuan.

The wooden box had not yet been opened, but there was a layer of frost condensed on the wooden box.

There is no need for everyone to guess that what is contained in it must be cold Yuan Shui, and many people on the field are ready to move, after all, this kind of treasure is rare, not to mention its function, if it is not for the city lord's mansion, if it is outside, they are afraid that they will secretly send people to rob it.

"Brother Qin Chuan, this cold Yuan Shui is the reward of the Battle of Hundred Victories this time, you take it. Liu An sat on the first seat, taking in the hot eyes of a group of people below.

After taking such a heavy treasure, Qin Chuan only dared to open the corner of the wooden box, and after confirming that the blue liquid inside was the cold evil yuan water, he hurriedly closed it and put it in his arms.

After seeing the full bottle of cold Yuan Water in the box, Qin Chuan couldn't believe it, and the amount was enough to make him dumbfounded.

You must know that the Yuan Acupoint is a pool for storing vitality, and the key to condensing high-quality Yuan Qi is also the Yuan Acupoint. The amount of cold Yuan Water given by the City Lord's Mansion is enough for a tenth-order cultivator to improve the entire ten Yuan Acupoints, and for Qin Chuan's current three Yuan Acupoints, it can only be used for less than one-third, which is more than enough.

The small bottle of cold yuan water in this wooden box is worth millions of crystal coins, and the most important thing is that the current Qin Chuan is not used up.

After that, the banquet is more free, and the guests are free to step out of their seats and go to other places to toast and chat.

Qin Chuan was suddenly surrounded by a group of guests, in the name of toasting, but for other things.

"Haha, congratulations to Mr. Qin Chuan, young hero, I don't know if Mr. Qin Chuan is interested in coming to my Ba Shui He family to do things......"

"Come on, little brother Qinchuan, I salute you, I see that the little brother is a third-order cultivator, can you consider selling the excess cold water to my Ba Shui Chamber of Commerce, you can rest assured, the price will definitely not be disadvantaged to the little brother......"

......

Most of the people who came were not those clans with their own identities, but mostly servants, or people who could speak in the family. There are those who try to win over Qin Chuan, those who try to buy cold water from him, and those who talk about both.

In the face of this group of "friendly envoys" of large and small clans, Qin Chuan was not easy to refuse openly.

Just when he was worried about how to get rid of this group of people, a maid from the City Lord's Mansion came to invite Qin Chuan to go on behalf of the young city lord of his family.

Leaving the toasting pile, Qin Chuan followed the maid all the way into the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion.

At this time, Liu An rarely took a moment of leisure, changed into the original comfortable green shirt, and sat leisurely in the backyard pavilion blowing the night breeze.

After the maid led the way, she had already been instructed and immediately retreated.

The green-shirted willow bank motioned for Qin Chuan to sit down casually, shook the elegant folding fan in his hand, and sighed a little: "I didn't expect that I would save a Yum person in one fell swoop that day." ”

Liu An's uneven words, Qin Chuan is really unsure, it stands to reason that he pressed Zhou Yating, which can be regarded as damaging the prestige of the city guards, if he gives him a small shoe to wear and make it difficult, it is normal.

Liu An seemed to see Qin Chuan's anxious thoughts, smiled and passed by, no longer emotional.

"In the past, Yum people had a lot of benefits, and this time I should have sent you an invitation to join the City Guard, but this time I'm sorry, my old man has spoken, and I can't invite you to join the City Guard. ”

Liu An took out a folded letter from his arms and handed it to Qin Chuan, "This is my old man who asked me to hand it over to you, saying that the content of this is the reason, and I hope you will forgive me." ”

What was written in the letter, Liu An had never opened it, and he was actually very curious, what was so strange about the young man who took Yum in front of him that his father, who rarely asked about these things, sent a message in person.

Speaking of which, Qin Chuan was not at all interested in the invitation to join the City Guard, not to mention that he didn't like the feeling of being fixed in one place, just because the identity of the Blood Skull Killer couldn't join any forces at will.

What did he have to ask the city lord of Bashui City personally.

Starting with the letter, Qin Chuan immediately opened it to watch the contents, but put it away.

Liu An folded the fan and said slowly: "Okay, I want to talk about some personal matters next." ”

Qin Chuan was stunned for a moment, is there anything else to do? Zhengse stood up and said, "Young City Lord, please speak." ”

Liu An is not a person of ink, and said with a smile: "Presumably the annoying of the group of clans outside, you have seen it." ”

Qin Chuan smiled awkwardly, this was something he had no previous experience in dealing with the people of the big clan, so it was inevitable that he would be cautious and restrained in dealing with it.

"What they value most is the surplus of cold water in your hand, and I'm ashamed to say it, I also want to buy some from you. ”

This time Qin Chuan didn't understand, it stands to reason that this Liu'an is also the young city lord of Ba Shui City, with the ability of the Ba Shui City Lord, is this bit of cold Yuan Shui possible?

If you want to sell a part of the cold swish yuan water, Qin Chuan also considered it at the banquet. The husband is not guilty, and he is guilty, and the extra large part of the cold and evil yuan water will inevitably attract right and wrong, but Qin Chuan has been thinking about which one to sell to.

If Liu An, who has the identity of a young city lord, can buy it back, it is naturally a top choice, and with the background of the city lord's mansion of Pakistan Water City, who dares to say more.

"It's not that I use it, I want to get a copy for Zhou Yating who fought with you today, so that it will be much easier for him to enter the high level in the future, as for the price, I am willing to pay twice the market price, of course, if you want to exchange other conditions for the cold scare yuan water, it is also okay, as long as I can do it personally." ”

Twice as much, it is indeed much more generous than the group of large and small clans outside who are eager to take it for free.

Qin Chuan also understood, this Zhou Yating was regarded as Liu An's cronies in the city guards, otherwise he would not have spent such a big price to find an opportunity for him. Although this Liu An often muttered reluctantly, he was still preparing to take over Bashui City. The veteran of Liu Chaoping's era will one day leave the city guards, and he, the young city lord, needs to train his team in advance.

Qin Chuan weighed and pondered, and asked, "I don't know how much cold Yuan Water the young city lord needs?"

When Liu An heard this, he knew that there was a play, and smiled and stretched out his right hand with a bent thumb, "It's enough for the four Yuan Acupoints of Zhou Ya Pavilion to use, and it's enough for the four Yuan Acupoints." ”

Forty percent of the cold Yuan Water, Qin Chuan only has sixty percent left, which is enough for the use of six Yuan Acupoints.

"Okay, four achievements are forty percent, but I don't want crystal coins, I only need one condition!"
