Just as Zhao Xinlong was still watching Zhao Siyu train desperately from a distance, Wen Bo suddenly appeared, stepped forward and said, "Family master, there is a letter from the capital"

"Beijing?" Zhao Xinlong glanced at Wen Bo in surprise, nodded, and turned back.

When he came to his house, Zhao Xinlong opened the letter with a candle, read it with a long sigh and said, "I didn't think that I should have come after all, Wen Bo went to inform the second child and asked him to come to me quickly, saying that there was something important to discuss."

"Yes," Wenbo hurriedly turned to leave.

Looking at the back of Wen Bo leaving, Zhao Xinlong let out a long sigh again.

Zhao Xinhu didn't dare to delay after getting the news, and hurriedly came to Zhao Xinlong's room. As soon as he pushed the door, he shouted loudly, "Big brother, what's going on, so anxious?"

"There's a letter from the capital," Zhao Xinlong said.

"Beijing?" Zhao Xinhu picked up the letter, read it and said, "What do you want to do in this damn Washington?"

"This matter can't be rushed to a conclusion," Zhao Xinlong said worriedly, "Maybe there is some misunderstanding in the middle."

"Misunderstanding?" Zhao Xinhu said angrily, "This Washington Mansion has come to the door to propose, or is it a misunderstanding?"

"Second brother, don't worry," Zhao Xinlong pretended to be calm and said.

"Then do you want to tell Xiaoyu about this," Zhao Xinhu said angrily.

"I don't know what Mr. Yue thinks about this matter," Zhao Xinlong said, "Don't make a noise first, let alone tell Xiaoyu, let's solve the matter of the previous generation."

"Okay" Zhao Xinhu had no choice but to obey Zhao Xinlong.

"Tomorrow is the Wuyuan Festival," Zhao Xinlong said, "How are things arranged?"

"As in previous years," Mr. Zhao said.

"Tell me more about it," Zhao Xinlong asked.

"Okay," Zhao Xinhu replied, "There are a total of 127 children of the Zhao family who have reached the age of 18 this year, and there are 1,432 children of the Zhao family who have reached the level of participation in the Wu Yuanshi test, not including the 127 people just mentioned."

"Well, that's good" Zhao Xinlong nodded slightly and said, "The number of people is a few more than last year, but I don't know how the strength is this year."

"The strength is naturally not bad," Zhao Xinhu said confidently, and then said with concern, "How is Xiaoyu's situation?"

"The child is working hard, but ......" Zhao Xinlong did not continue.

"I know" Zhao Xinhu didn't continue to ask, "Brother, I haven't drunk together for a long time, the weather is so good, and it's a festive season, why don't we two drink a little?"

"It's okay," Zhao Xinlong replied, "When the Wuyuan Festival really starts, I'll be busy again and have no time."

After that, the two of them came to the courtyard, looking at the starry sky and the moonlight, and their hearts were full of emotion.

Also in the moonlight, in Zhao Fuzhong, Zhao Hantian's back garden, Zhao Hantian and Zhao Hanmin were also drinking and talking.

"Fourth, is this news from the capital reliable?" asked Zhao Hantian.

"Third brother, rest assured," Zhao Hanmin said with a smile, "This time it's absolutely true"

"That's good," Zhao Hantian laughed and said, "God really helped me, the Hua family of Mu Sicheng actually proposed to the Yue family"

"Although this Mousi City is ostensibly under the jurisdiction of the city lord Song Da, it is actually controlled by the Hua family, and its strength cannot be underestimated," Zhao Hanmin nodded and said.

"I've heard of this," Zhao Hantian said, "This Hua family has endured for thousands of years in Mu Si City, and its strength can be seen, especially its second son Hua Linglong, who is really terrifying, only eighteen years old, but he is already a fourth-order martial artist."

"What the third brother said is yes," Zhao Hanmin nodded and replied, "But this Hua Linglong, according to rumors, is not simple at all"

"I have also heard rumors" Zhao Hantian said, "I heard from the business partners of Mu Sicheng who traded with us, although this Hua Linglong is only the second son of Washington, but he is deeply loved by his father Hua Hongtao, he condensed Wu Yuan at the age of six, and became a martial artist at the age of fifteen, his talent is so high that it is rare to meet in a hundred years, and he later entered the Yuqing Sect, and was also appreciated by the great elders of the Yuqing Sect, and intended to be accepted as a closed disciple, and was trained to be the candidate for the next sect master."

"It seems that Hua Linglong is indeed not simple," Zhao Hanmin nodded slightly and smiled, "This time the Hua family proposed to the Yue family, I want to value the position of the Yue family in the Longlou country."

"The fourth brother is right," Zhao Hantian said with a little solemnity, "Although it is said that this Zhenbei general Yue Shaoshan is ninety-seven years old, he still has military power in his hands."

"What's even worse is that he has won the trust of the emperor" Zhao Hanmin said coldly, "I have been in office for fifty years, I have kept one side peaceful, and I was recently named the Zhenbei Hou by the emperor"

"Zhenbei Hou" Zhao Hantian muttered, "The opposite sex is sealed, you can see its strength"

"His son Yue Zhuofan is not to be underestimated," Zhao Hanmin said, "The imperial capital is 100,000 guards, and the forbidden army is unified, and the safety of the entire imperial capital Longlou City is in control."

"Two generations of the family turned out to be important ministers with military power," Zhao Hantian nodded and replied. Finally, after a short silence, he continued, "This has always been something I have been afraid of."

Zhao Hantian took a deep breath and continued, Yue Ling'er, the only granddaughter of Yue Shaoshan, and Zhao Siyu's marriage contract is a major obstacle for me to ascend to the position of the head of the family, I think we forced Zhao Xinlong to withdraw from the position of the head of the family, seeing that success is imminent, but was defeated by Zhao Xinlong's marriage contract, most of the elders still have some scruples, and temporarily defected, so that we also lost so badly, but I didn't expect Zhao Xinlong to say in the end, if Zhao Siyu failed to become a martial artist at the age of eighteen, he would give up the position of the head of the family”

"That was before," Zhao Hanmin sneered, "This time it's different, now the Hua family is proposing marriage to the Yue family, if it happens, it's really the third brother of God's help."

Zhao Hantian laughed when he heard this, "If this matter can be done, Zhao Xinlong loses the big backer of the Yue family, then God will really help me!"

Zhao Hanmin sneered on the side, "Let's wait and watch the show."

Time turned, and the annual Wuyuan Festival really began.

The first day is a large-scale sacrificial activity, presided over by Song Zongtian, the city lord of Xiangyun City, only to see that on this day, starting from the gate of the West City, there are many soldiers, and both sides of the avenue are full of people, and when Song Zongtian is dressing up to go out of the city, the crowd cheers and surges.

The patriarchs of the three major families in Xiangyun City naturally did not miss the opportunity to pray for their families, Zhao Xinlong, the head of the Zhao family, Hong Zhongyan, the head of the Hong family, and Wen Yan, the head of the Zhang family, also followed behind the city lord Song Zongtian, and with the crowd surging, they came to the sacrificial platform located outside the West City. Almost the whole city participated in this sacrificial activity, more than 300,000 people, stretching for dozens of kilometers, black and oppressive crowds, gongs and drums noisy.

Song Zongtian and the three heads of the family came to the sacrificial platform, presented the sacrificial items, Song Zongtian recited the sacrificial article, sprinkled thousands of words, all of which praised the selfless dedication of Emperor Wuyuan, the wisdom and martial arts of the emperor, and begged for smooth wind and rain, and peace and security of the country and the people.

After Song Zongtian and the three city lords sacrificed to the sky, the earth, and the ancestors, it was already three poles after the day, although the weather was a little stuffy, but the people were still full of joy.

Finally, when Song Zongtian announced the end of the sacrificial ceremony, the crowd gradually left the sacrificial platform in an orderly manner with the last firecrackers.
