Chapter 158: Going to the Banquet

Night, Yunsen City City Lord's Mansion. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

This is the second time Wang Lian has stepped into this mansion in a year.

Compared with the previous time when he was a pawn and was unknown to anyone, at this moment, regardless of his identity or status, he has all changed dramatically, and at the same time, he who was invited to come, the weight is also indescribable.

Due to the rush of time, in terms of scale, this banquet is still insufficient compared to the last one, but as long as the people who get the news, they are the first to come as soon as possible, so that even if there is only one day to prepare for the meeting, there are still not a few distinguished guests.

From this aspect, we can fully see the influence of Zhao Jiuzhou, the city lord of Yunsen City, in Lizhou.

With an army of 30,000 in his hands, including 11,000 elite soldiers, he is already one of the most powerful princes in the territory of Yun Kingdom, even if his reputation is not obvious, but no one in Yun Country dares to underestimate him.

When Wang Lian and Wang Chaoyang came to the city lord's mansion, night had already fallen, and as the Wang family's carriage arrived, the guards who had been ordered to do so suddenly stepped forward and led the Wang family's carriage from the main gate.

This scene fell into the eyes of Lord Yang, who also came to see the Wang family's carriage and wanted to greet him, which made him stunned, and he didn't react for a while.

After a while, his daughter Yang Qing's puzzled question sounded beside him: "Father, ...... just now That's President Wang's carriage?"

"It should ...... Right. ”

Yang Jun was a little surprised.

"Lord Yang, please stay. ”

At this time, there was a shout behind Yang Jun, and then he saw Pang Pan, the president of the Junshan Dharma Association, who was quite influential in Yunsen City, chasing after him with his son Pang Zhen.

"President Pang?"

"Lord Yang, if I am not mistaken, it was the carriage of President Wang's family that entered just now, and the main gate of the City Lord's Mansion has only been in and out of the main gate tonight, one is Liu Shengping, the son of Liu Zhoumu, and the other is Hong Xu, the disciple of the Hongmen Lord of Wurifeng, President Wang, this is the third car, right? When did the relationship between President Wang and City Lord Zhao become so close that he deserved such courtesy from City Lord Zhao? What did I have during this period that we did not know? Lord Yang and President Wang had a very good personal relationship, I wonder if I could tell you one or two?"

Yang Jun smiled bitterly: "President Pang, you are curious about this, why am I not, I didn't receive any news in advance, even if I had the heart, I couldn't confide half a word to President Pang, just wait for a while for us to go in and ask ourselves." ”

Pang Pan saw that Yang Jun didn't seem to be cheating, so he had to nod: "In this way, then we can only see it at that time, if President Wang really attaches to the Zhao City Lord, he will really be able to soar to the sky, and when the time comes, the name of the Wang family's firm will be unimpeded in Lizhou, even if the entire Yun Kingdom, no one dares not to give the Zhao City Lord this face." ”

Yang Jun nodded, and the group of four stepped forward immediately and followed into the courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion.

In the courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, many guests had already arrived first, and Yang Jun and Pang Pan naturally had to exchange politeness with some friends, and in addition to being polite, his eyes were also constantly looking around, looking for Wang Chaoyang and the others.

However, when Pang Pan, who had better eyes, saw clearly where Wang Chaoyang was seated at the moment, his eyes suddenly widened, full of disbelief.

"I ...... I can't be mistaken, is that? That's President Wang?"

"Huh?"

Yang Jun, who was greeted by Pang Pan, looked over closely, and after seeing the location of Wang Chaoyang's father and son clearly, he couldn't help wiping his eyes, almost thinking that he was hallucinating: "That's ...... The first table? President Wang is actually qualified to go to the first table, and he is on an equal footing with Zhao City Lord, Liu Gongzi and others?"

"Hey, Brother Wang Lian is also sitting there. ”

Yang Qing exclaimed in some surprise.

"Wang Lian?"

Hearing Yang Qing's words, everyone seemed to have noticed Wang Lian.

Although Wang Lian has made a big name in the rivers and lakes, ranking thirty-three on the star list, Yang Jun and Pang Pan are not people in the rivers and lakes, even if there are some forces and channels, it is impossible to know everything about the rivers and lakes, even if they have heard of the star list, at best, they can only be familiar with the top ten, Wang Lian, who is ranked thirty-three, and even others after the top ten, do not pay much attention to it.

But according to the scene in front of him, it did not affect the conjecture of several people......

"I heard that Wang Lian was valued by Miss Zhao for his outstanding performance more than ten months ago and brought to Kunlun, and now President Wang can be included in the first table, it is estimated that Wang Lian has made achievements in the Kunlun faction. ”

"Wang Lian has made achievements in the Kunlun faction, what kind of identity is the city lord of Zhao, and the power in his hands is better than that of the head of the Kunlun faction, if Wang Lian can ascend to the throne of the head of Kunlun, it is reasonable to enter the first table, but is this possible?"

Pang Zhen, who was pulled over by Pang Pan and seemed to want to see if he could enter Miss Zhao's eyes, muttered: "Could it be that Miss Zhao and Wang Lian get along day and night in the Kunlun faction and have emotions, so that the city lord of Zhao has the heart to call the third young man of the Wang family named Wang Lian as his son-in-law?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent at the same time, and then after a little recollection, they suddenly felt that this kind of speculation was very possible.

"If Wang Lian can capture Miss Zhao's heart and let the Lord of Zhao City call her as a son-in-law, the Wang family will really soar into the sky. ”

"I don't think it's possible, although the city lord of Zhao is the city lord of Yunsen City, and he can't be called the top of the cloud country in terms of rights, but he is ambitious, taking advantage of the civil strife in Yun, vigorously developing the military, and has now become one of the strongest warlords in the Yun country, when it comes to influence, it is far from being comparable to the city lord of a city.

"The lord of Zhao City vigorously develops the military, and is currently one of the largest warlords in Chengyun Kingdom, which is true, but they vigorously develop the military, but it has caused the Queen Mother to be jealous, and the Queen Mother has delayed the application for military expenses in Yunsen City again and again, and the current huge army can almost only rely on the Zhao family for support, although this practice makes the army more loyal to the Zhao family, but it has dragged down the economy of the Zhao family and even the entire Yunsen City, so that in recent years, the three thousand Qilin guards have to go out to suppress bandits in order to maintain the balance of payments...... But the Wang family is different, the business of the Wang Chamber of Commerce has become bigger and bigger in recent years, and the annual income is not more than three or four hundred thousand gold? If the Wang family and the Zhao family marry, one has someone and the other has money, it is tantamount to a strong alliance, and the danger of the military expenses of the Zhao city lord will not be self-defeating, not only that, the Zhao city lord can also rely on the support of the Wang family to continue to develop the military, and at that time, the momentum of the Yunsen city lord will inevitably climb to a new level compared with before. ”

So to speak...... It's really possible, but I don't know if Liu Zhoumu is willing. ”

"Whether you want to or not, you can't ...... Liu Zhou"

In the midst of the discussion, many distinguished guests came one by one.

Wang Lian looked at it, and all the people with status in the entire Yunsen City had arrived, such as Zhou Cunyun and Li Daoquan, the elders of the Suhe Sword Sect, Qi Zhengyang, the elder of the Yuehua Sword Sect, and Fu Yuehua, the sect master, such as the head of the Green Bamboo Sect, and so on, all of them rushed to arrive.

The last time he entered the City Lord's Mansion of Yunsen City, these people were in the upper seat, and he was in the last crowd, penniless, but now, he was able to sit at the first table, looking down at a glance, enjoying the envious eyes of everyone, and Qi Zhengming, Huang Chao, Xiang Kaixuan and others, who were famous in Yang Qing's mouth more than ten months ago, were like juniors, and he was no longer at the same level as now.

"If I don't admit it wrong, this one is Wang Lian, the new 'sword master' ranked thirty-three on the Star List, Wang Shaoxia. ”

On the table, Hong Xu, a disciple from Hongmen, smiled at Wang Lian.

"I am. ”

"Go down to Hong Xu again, the sixteenth place on the star list, one of the four swords of Hongmen, the people of the rivers and lakes love and give the nickname of 'Sword of Heroes'. ”

"I know. ”

Wang Lian replied calmly.

However, his lukewarm attitude made Hong Xu a little dissatisfied in his heart.

is also on the star list, Wang Lian is only ranked thirty-three, and he Hong Xu is ranked sixteenth, which is the second largest existence among the disciples of Hongmen's generation, second only to Senior Brother Fei, who has the nickname of "Heroic Sword", and is a full seventeen places higher than Wang Lian.

Although his age was four years older than Wang Lian, he didn't think that in another four years, Wang Lian would be able to enter the top 20 of the star list, so Wang Lian's lukewarm expression was even invited to the first table, which made him feel guilty.

"Hehe, Wang Lian Shaoxia is really young, he actually killed the thirty-third on the star list, no wonder he is called the strongest among the young generation of the Kunlun faction, it seems that the Kunlun faction has been in decline for more than ten years, and after all, it will gradually rise to the peak. ”

Wang Lian glanced at Hong Xu and didn't answer.

The decline of the Kunlun faction is precisely because of Qin Xiyan, who incarnated as Qin Yijue back then, and now Qin Xiyan is accepted by the master of the Hongmen Sect, as a personal disciple, during the intersection of the disciples of the Kunlun and Hongmen factions, there will be a tacit understanding not to mention this matter, but now Hong Xu intends to introduce the topic in this direction, which is almost equivalent to a provocation.

Seeing that Wang Lian didn't react at all, Hong Xu's face was even more embarrassed, and he actually raised his glass and said: " Come, I'll first toast Wang Lian Shaoxia with a cup, the Kunlun faction has been injured so far, in addition to Wang Lian Shaoxia, there is only one Wang Lian Shaoxia's defeated general Ning Shaoyang who has only ascended the star list, and it is still the thirty-sixth at the end of the star list, I have to say, Wang Lian Shaoxia has to thank us for creating this kind of opportunity for you, this once-in-a-lifetime moment is the opportunity for Wang Lian Shaoxia to show his talents, I hope that the Kunlun faction can be under the leadership of Wang Lian Shaoxia, and reproduce the glory of the heyday of the year. ”

Liu Shengping and Dao Wuxi glanced at Hong Xu, Liu Shengping couldn't help but want to laugh, but Dao Wuxi said: "Senior Brother Hong Xu, you are drunk." ”

At the end, he turned to Wang Lian and said, "Wang Lian Shaoxia, Senior Brother Hong Xu is talking nonsense, don't take it to heart." ”

"Naturally not. ”

Wang Lian said calmly and did not answer.

Dao Tianfeng once taught Zhao Xuedan martial arts, and Dao Tianfeng is a person in the Hongmen, and the Hongmen master is in the same vein, and the generations belong to the Hongmen master's elder brother, so Zhao Xuedan can be regarded as half of the Hongmen disciples, plus the Hongmen master fought to the death when he fought against the Demon Emperor, and worked hard for the safety of the human world, contributing the last strength, which is praised, he will not be concerned about the entire Hongmen because of the words of a mere disciple.
