Chapter 688: The Birthday Banquet Advances
ps: This chapter is a big chapter of 4,000 words, and Xiaobao will not open it. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
For the sake of safety, Lu Xuan and Su Ye didn't even enter the city, and specially chose remote and quiet roads to walk, but fortunately, both of them carried storage rings with them, and they had a lot of supplies, so they were not too embarrassed.
The main hall of Baicaotang is not in the imperial capital of the Kowloon Dynasty, after all, Baicaotang is not a subordinate force of the Kowloon Dynasty, and it is not possible to set up the main hall in the core of the family, but it is set up in another important city of the Kowloon Dynasty - Dongtai City, but because Baicaotang has been stationed here for thousands of years, people prefer to call it the Medicine King City.
At this moment, in the inner courtyard of the Baicaotang main hall in the Medicine King City, an old man with white hair but a ruddy complexion and a rather energetic face was taking care of a medicine garden.
However, the spiritual materials that can be artificially cultivated, even if they are the third grade of the ground level, are not as good as some special spiritual materials of the same level, whether the medicinal materials are rare or not, not only linked to its grade, but also proportional to its survival difficulty, for example, the Hantan peony that Lu Xuan gave to Su Ye, although it is only a fourth-grade spiritual material of the ground level, but in terms of rarity, I am afraid that it is comparable to the fifth or even sixth grade of the ground level.
Just as the old man was concentrating on taking care of it, a middle-aged man in black walked over, and he saluted the old man and said, "Father, the children have all been prepared for the birthday banquet, and there are many hall masters from the major branches, when will my father meet them?"
There is no doubt that this old man is the hall master of Baicao Hall. Su Hexuan, who can be commensurate with the emperor of the Kowloon Dynasty as a brother, and this middle-aged man in black is Su Hexuan's eldest son, Su Xuebo.
The name Su Xuebo was also taken by Su Hexuan himself, which originally meant that he wanted to study hard and be a knowledgeable person, but unfortunately Su Xuebo was obsessed with martial arts, but he was not very interested in the pill, and now his strength has reached the triple level of the Returning Yuan Realm. But the way of alchemy. But he was able to get started, which made Su Hexuan a little disappointed.
Hearing Su Xuebo's words, Su Hexuan straightened up, looked at the medicine garden fixedly, and said, "Recently, this Zhongzhou seems to have started to make waves again. My birthday feast. It couldn't be held at the right time. ”
Su Xuebo couldn't help but smile and said, "Father, where are you talking about this." What does the matter between the Nine Dragons Dynasty and Beiboruo have to do with our Baicaotang, and our Baicaotang has good friends with the major forces. Isn't it just for the sake of stable development? Just wait and see what happens. ”
Su Hexuan shook his head, put his hands behind his back and said, "In the cultivation world, how can you completely stay out of the matter? A small pebble can stir up the fluctuations of the entire pool of water, not to mention that Bei Boruo is still a four-grade force. ”
After a moment of silence, Su Hexuan said: "Inform the hall masters of each branch hall that the birthday banquet is canceled, their intentions, I understand it in my heart, go back to their respective branches, and be sure to ensure that the major branches of Baicao Hall are not affected by this incident." ”
Su Hexuan is an old fox after all, with a keen sense of smell, he always feels that this time the matter is not so simple, at a critical moment, just a birthday banquet, if it is canceled, it will be canceled, and he can't joke about the thousand-year-old foundation of Baicaotang, otherwise how will he face the ancestors of the Su family after a hundred years?
But Su Xuebo was shocked when he heard this, and persuaded him repeatedly: "Father, you don't have to be so cautious, right? You didn't handle the previous birthdays, and this ninety birthday is rare to do once, how can it be canceled, besides, the masters of the major branches are all grandiose, and they have come all the way to come with great work, so it's a bit unpleasant?"
Su Hexuan smiled and said, "What's wrong, just as they have already celebrated my birthday, for me, they can manage the major branches of Baicao Hall well, which is already a great achievement." ”
Seeing Su Hexuan so insistent, Su Xuebo hesitated a little, and after thinking about it, he proposed: "Father, it's better to do this, we can do it a few days in advance, at least we can give an explanation to the hall masters." ”
Su Hexuan touched his beard, nodded slightly, and said: "That's okay, then it's set for tomorrow, everything is simple, so that those branch hall masters who haven't rushed over won't be used, by the way, what about Su Ye's little girl, I haven't seen her for a few days, where did she go?"
"I guess I secretly prepared a birthday gift for you, and her guard disappeared, so she should have taken her out. Su Xuebo said with a smile.
"This kid. Su Hexuan shook his head: "It's an eventful season, don't let me worry, you send a message, let the branches pay attention to her news, and once you see her, notify her to come back immediately." ”
"Understood, I'll do it, but tomorrow's birthday banquet may be a little rushed, so it's better to postpone it to the day after tomorrow. ”
"Well, you arrange it. Su Hexuan waved his hand and said.
The conversation between the father and son, this is the end of the day, Su Xuebo went out to do all kinds of things, and Su Hexuan continued to take care of his medicine garden, but there was still a faint cloud of sorrow between his eyebrows, and the experience accumulated over the years always gave him a bad feeling.
The news that the old hall master of Baicao Hall would hold a birthday banquet the day after tomorrow instantly spread throughout the entire Medicine King City, and then spread to the palace of the Kowloon Dynasty.
"Brother Su will hold a birthday banquet the day after tomorrow, if I remember it well, it seems that it will be his birthday in four days, right?" The person who spoke, dressed in a golden dragon robe, stood there with a momentum of not being angry and arrogant, and it was the emperor of the Nine Dragons Dynasty, Xia Qi.
"It is said that it is because Master Su Laotang saw the recent fluctuations in the situation and didn't want to do it in a big way, so he made a schedule in advance, and everything was simple. A young man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes smiled loudly, he was the fourth prince of the Kowloon Dynasty, Xia Xi, and the news just now was passed on to Xia Qi.
Xia Qi nodded slightly: "Brother Su has foresight, if this Beibo doesn't know what the idea is, he dares to attack my dynasty, where did he get the courage." ”
"Just Beiboruo, my father doesn't have to worry about it, my dynasty has many strong generals, how can I be afraid of him?" Xia Xi said loudly.
"Having said that, it is also not to be taken lightly, there must be a demon when it is abnormal, and the king of Zhennan had an accident in Yang'an City at this point and has lost contact so far. It always worries me. Xia Qi rubbed his forehead and said, King Zhennan's loss of contact is definitely a big deal, he doesn't put Bei Boruo in his eyes, but in fact, he is quite vigilant in his heart, but he immediately stretched his brows, the foundation and strength of the Nine Dragons Dynasty are here, no matter whether Beibo Ruo comes to the bright or dark, he has the power to fight.
"This time, Brother Su has a big birthday, and it is reasonable. The Imperial Dynasty should all go to celebrate the birthday. But now there are a lot of miscellaneous things, so I won't go in person, fourth, you can go to Dongtai City on my behalf. Birthday wishes to Brother Su. As for birthday gifts. Later, you will go to the inner library to choose, and you must not lose the face of the dynasty. Xia Qi finally said.
Hearing this, Xia Xi suddenly looked happy. After answering repeatedly, when he learned that Su Hexuan had changed the date of the birthday banquet, he hurriedly ran to inform his father that he was going to get this errand.
First, he is on patrol instead of Xia Qi, and the ministers of the court and the central government must analyze the meaning of this, and secondly, Baicaotang is of great strategic significance to the Kowloon Dynasty, if he can take the opportunity to improve the relationship with Baicaotang and compete for the throne, it is definitely a very important thing.
"Father, the son has something to do!" Another person hurried over, this time it was the second prince Xia Feng.
Xia Xi looked at Xia Feng and smiled faintly, if he guessed correctly, Xia Feng also came to seek this errand, but unfortunately, he was preempted by himself after all, and he immediately bowed to Xia Qi and said: "Father, the son will retire first." ”
Su Hexuan changed the day of the birthday banquet, it seems to affect the changes in the entire Zhongzhou, the first to take action is Bei Bo Ruo, one day, there are many towns in the Kowloon Dynasty Bei Bo Ruo people to make trouble, things are big and small, some just appeared and were discovered, only caused a commotion, but some took the opportunity to burn down the granary of the Kowloon Dynasty or destroyed the important military aircraft, causing chaos in the whole town.
As the supreme ruler of the Nine Dragons Dynasty, Xia Qi naturally didn't dare to have the slightest rest, and in the play, he dispatched one by one to the city to suppress the riots in Beiboruo, but he himself was the peak powerhouse of the Guiyuan Realm, not to mention not resting for a few days, even if he didn't sleep for a month, he might not be able to do anything.
The days soon came two days later, and today, it was the day when Su Hexuan held a birthday banquet, and the Medicine King City was very lively, and the guests who came from all over the city had already filled the inns in the entire Medicine King City.
Baicaotang's business is all over Zhongzhou, some are local people of the Kowloon Dynasty, some are from the territory of the Seven Evil Sect, and some are from the boundary of Boruo Temple, all of them have some intersection with Baicaotang, or want to come over to climb the relationship and take the big tree of Baicaotang.
As Su Hexuan's eldest son, and now the only son left, Su Xuebo stood in front of the door of Su Mansion and greeted guests everywhere with a smile.
"The head of the Liu family in Yulin came to celebrate his birthday, a pair of thunder zhi, and fifty top-quality yuan stones!"
"Zhu Maohua, the master of the Bashui City Branch of Baicaotang, came to celebrate his birthday, a pot of Tianxian oil for birthday gifts, and a piece of amorphous crystal!"
......
"The four princes of the Nine Dragons Dynasty came to celebrate their birthdays, ten true martial bones for birthday gifts, ten pieces of gold for the remnant sun, ten bottles of golden silkworm blood, ten flower butterfly fairy lotuses, and five hundred top-grade yuan stones!"
The steward in charge of singing the promise looked at the gift list, his eyes were about to pop out, it was worthy of the Nine Dragons Dynasty's move, these gifts were given, whether it was quantity or quality, far exceeded the rest, and the five hundred top-grade Yuan Stones alone were a huge fortune.
Seeing Xia Xi coming, Su Xuebo dared to slack off, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "The fourth prince arrived, and Su missed the welcome." ”
Xia Xi smiled, held up Su Xuebo and said: "Brother Su doesn't have to see outside, Baicaotang and my dynasty are world friends, a small birthday gift, not a tribute, I don't know where Old Hall Master Su is now? ”
"Father is in the inner hall, and he also asked the four princes to move, come here, and take the four princes to the inner hall!" Su Xuebo hurriedly called someone to guide Xia Xi, although Xia Xi came instead of Xia Qi, and he should be received by him, but he still had to receive all the guests, so naturally he couldn't take Xia Xi in person.
Xia Xi smiled and nodded, and was about to leave, but at this moment, another voice of singing promises sounded: "North, Elder Sangyuwen of Beiboruo Temple came to celebrate his birthday, birthday gift, three Sanyuan Sword Pills, four Qingling Pills, and five Purple Gold Spirit Pills!"
After the steward finished singing the promise, he was also stunned, and for a while, the entire gate of Su Mansion was quiet.
Everyone present knew that Bei Boruo was about to make a move on the Kowloon Dynasty recently, but he dared to step into the realm of the Kowloon Dynasty to congratulate Su Hexuan on his birthday?
Of course, it's not just that, the point is that the birthday gifts sent by Bei Boruo are all pills, of course, the value of these pills is very expensive, but the object of their birthday this time is Su Hexuan, who is known as the king of medicine!
For thousands of years, the warriors of Zhongzhou have known that no matter what Baicaotang does, they never accept pills as gifts, because they themselves are a family of pills, and you even send pills to Baicaotang, isn't this a slap in the face?
Of course, it is impossible for Beibo Ruo not to know this unspoken rule of Baicaotang, and now he is deliberately doing this, I am afraid that it will ...... It's not good!
"What does Bei Boruo mean by this?" Xia Xi looked at Sang Yuwen and said lightly, without the slightest fluctuation on his face.
Sang Yuwen's heart twitched a little, but he still said with a smile on his face: "Old Hall Master Su's birthday, of course I have to come to celebrate my birthday, could it be that the fourth prince is not welcome?"
In fact, when he spoke, Sang Yuwen was also extremely bitter in his heart, because he failed his mission in Yang'an City, so he was punished to come to Su Hexuan to celebrate his birthday, this kind of moment openly appeared in Yaowang City, it can be said that it is a direct provocation to the Nine Dragons Dynasty, if he annoys the Nine Dragons Dynasty, I am afraid that he will die here immediately, this is definitely the worst and most unlucky errand.
Xia Xi smiled lightly and said, "Welcome, of course, you are welcome to come and die!"
As soon as the words fell, several entourages around Xia Xi instantly moved, and immediately came to Sang Yuwen's side, and several weapons drove directly to Sang Yuwen's neck.
At this moment, Sang Yuwen was extremely shocked in his heart, and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and forcibly calmed down: "I'm here to celebrate the birthday of Old Hall Master Su, the fourth prince is like this, it is inevitable that he will not give Old Hall Master Su face, right?"
Xia Xi frowned slightly, as long as he gave an order, he would be able to kill Sang Yuwen immediately, but this might not look good for Baicaotang. (To be continued.) )
