Chapter 15: The Feast of the Hung Gate
In this world of the jungle, for the sake of profit, it is not uncommon to stab a knife in the back, one moment they are still firm allies, and the next moment they may be enemies. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The speed of change is so fast that people are secretly talking.
"Speaking of the other two families, grandpa and uncle, just now my grandson received a notice that three days later, the three major families will hold a gathering at the Zhang family, as if there is something important to announce. ”
I was going to report it after eating, but now that my grandfather mentioned it, Wu Haoran said it in advance.
"Hmm? What does this old guy Zhang Xingde want to do Mingtang? Thinking of the sly smile of the Zhang family patriarch, Wu Zhengtian was angry and continued: "Is there anything else besides these?"
The messenger also said that it was important to have the top figures of the younger generation of the three major families present, and as for the rest, it seemed that there was nothing special. ”
When Wu Haoran finished speaking, Wu Zhenghu immediately snorted heavily and said: "That old thing thief is not dead, and he has always played Haoran's idea, in my opinion, this is obviously a Hongmen banquet." ”
Cheng Shi, who was drinking silently on the side, felt in the clouds when he listened to their conversation, and looked at Wu Haoran in surprise.
"Brother Cheng doesn't know, the Zhang family has always wanted to marry our Wu family, and I am the person they like. Hearing his explanation, and then thinking about the current situation of the Wu family, Chengshi instantly understood the other party's plan.
After the last war, there is no one among the parents of the Wu family, if there is no accident, the next patriarch will definitely fall on the head of Wu Haoran, who is the eldest grandson.
Now the Zhang family proposes to marry, to put it bluntly, they want to take the position of the mother of the Wu family.
What a ruthless move!
"I don't understand, with Brother Haoran's ability, can't he subdue a little girl of the Zhang family?" As soon as Cheng Shi's words fell, he saw Wu Haoran with a bitter face, obviously guessed by him!
"It's better if it's someone else, but the person the Zhang family sent to marry this time is their eldest lady - Zhang Keyi!" At the mention of the eldest lady of the Zhang family, Wu Haoran's eyes showed a solemn look.
"In terms of cultivation, she is a mid-level peak spirit martial artist, one head taller than me, and in terms of power skills, since she took over the family affairs at the age of fourteen, the overall strength of the Zhang family has improved significantly in the past two years, and it is even more powerful than her grandfather's methods. ”
"If it weren't for the fact that she is a daughter, I'm afraid that the position of the head of the Zhang family would have fallen on her by now. ”
Seeing that there was a faint sense of admiration in Wu Haoran's words, Cheng Shi knew that if he really married that strong woman, it wouldn't be long before the entire Wu family might change their surname.
Thinking of this, Cheng Shi became more and more interested in the eldest lady of the Zhang family, such a heroine, it was a pity not to see her.
"Wait! Is the eldest lady of the Zhang family you are talking about the one who led a team of men out of the city this morning?" Thinking back to Fang Cai's shocking glance, it was indeed a bit powerful, but it was completely useless to Cheng Shi.
This morning, Zhang Keyi did take people out of the city and went to Yuncui Mountain to exterminate a group of mountain bandits who blocked the road and robbed. What's the matter? Brother Cheng has already had a relationship with her. ”
You can't talk about friendship, but it's almost the same as revenge.
Touching his nose, Cheng Shi embarrassedly told the three members of the Wu family what happened this morning. Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Wu Haoran raised the wine bowl in his hand and saluted him: "Brother Cheng, you are really a model for my generation, and my younger brother respects you with a bowl!"
This kid is so heartless, obviously the biggest sufferer is himself.
"Okay, Brother Haoran, please! Here I wish you and the eldest lady of the Zhang family to tie the knot in advance, grow old, and give birth to a noble son early!"
"Poof......" The wine that had just been drunk in his mouth was squirted out.
"Brother Cheng, don't take you to bully people like this. ”
Wu Haoran's resentful expression instantly made Cheng Shi and the two Optimus Prime of the Wu family laugh out loud.
"Who told you to run on me first?"
Cheng Shi has never been a loser, when he was in the Misty Forest, Wu Changfeng humiliated him, and was beaten into a panda eye by Cheng Shi in the afternoon.
Typical Jairves must be rewarded!
"Okay, Haoran, don't be grandstanding here. Looking at his grandson's deflated appearance, Wu Zhengtian said meaningfully: "I offended you as a brother, see who will help you come up with ideas to get through the difficulty of the Zhang family." ”
Although Wu Haoran is usually reckless, his reaction at this moment is extremely fast, and his grandfather's words lit a bright light for him, and he bowed to Chengshi crying.
"Brother Cheng, I know that I was wrong, just now I was confused for a while, and I was blinded by lard, you adults don't care about villains, give me ideas to save my little brother!"
It seems that the eldest lady of the Zhang family has really had a great influence on him, if it weren't for the narrow terrain, I'm afraid he would have knelt on the ground and begged.
Marrying a tigress who can't win and can't fight, where is the dignity of a man?
"Brother Haoran, what are you doing, please get up quickly. Helping the other party up, Cheng Shi looked at Wu Zhengtian in surprise and asked, "Brother Wu, I don't understand what you mean." ”
He had just arrived at Wu's house on his front foot, and he didn't know the specific situation of the entire Yinglong Town, so how could he dare to make ideas casually.
"Brother Cheng Xian, don't be modest, Senior Wen has already said in the letter, let us all listen to your dispatch. As he spoke, he took out an envelope from his arms, on which the person on it was Wen Yuanshan.
With curiosity, Chengshi spread out the letter paper in his hand, looked at the short and clear ten words, and didn't know what to say.
If a person arrives, listen to his orders and solve it.
Sure enough, it is Master Wen's consistent style, and there is no room for negotiation at all.
"Brother Wu, to tell you the truth, Master Wen didn't explain anything before I left the mountain, only asked me to rush to Yinglong Town as soon as possible and find you. "The stakes are high, and he has to be careful.
"Why don't you let me understand the situation here first, and then give you an answer, okay?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he came into contact with this world, Chengshi would face such a huge test, which was related to the fate of a big family, and the two masters also valued themselves too much.
"Okay, Brother Chengxian, don't worry, there are still three days to go, and my brother believes in your ability. "It's not so much that he believes in Chengshi, but that he believes in Wen Yuanshan more.
After this incident, Cheng Shi has long lost his appetite, and his mind is full of how to solve the current problem.
Let Wu Haoran marry the eldest lady of the Zhang family, obviously the fate of the next generation of the Wu family will be very dangerous; if they do not marry, then the relationship between the Zhang and Wu families will be damaged, and even more seriously, it will affect the alliance between the three major families against the Jin family.
No matter what choice you make, it's not the best way!
After the banquet ended hastily, Chengshi returned to his small courtyard with a hint of drunkenness.
"Master Wen, you really have a big problem for me!" Sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard, Chengshi closed his eyes and enjoyed the comfort brought by the breeze, listening to the rustling sound of the surrounding trees, and his heart became more and more peaceful.
At this moment, the wind aura around the Wu family seemed to be summoned by Chengshi, and quickly gathered towards the small courtyard, forming a tiny tornado around him.
"Hmm, I didn't expect that under such circumstances, my wind spirit power was about to break through. ”
Closing his eyes and looking inward, Cheng Shi found that in his dantian, the cyan spiritual liquid turned into wind spiritual power was gradually gathering and compressing each other, faintly turning from liquid to solid.
"When the wind spirit liquid in my body is completely condensed into a wind spirit crystal, that's when I become a high-level wind spirit person. ”
After three years of hell penance, Cheng Shi was promoted from an ordinary third-level martial artist to a fourth-level spiritual martial artist, and because of his two spiritual powers, he could be called an intermediate wind spirit or an intermediate earth spirit.
"It seems that there is still pressure needed, if I am now with the two masters, I'm afraid my strength will not improve so quickly. ”
Not long after he came out, he didn't do anything, and there were signs of a breakthrough in his cultivation. Calculating the time, the wind spirit liquid in his body can be completely condensed into wind spirit crystals in half a month at most, and his strength will be significantly improved at that time.
No wonder people in the world say that training is the best way to increase cultivation.
"Brother Cheng, what are you thinking?"
A sweet voice interrupted his thoughts, and Chengshi turned his head and his eyes lit up, this is still the little girl who loves to blush?
At this time, Qin Shuang took off his rough maid clothes and put on a goose-yellow dress, his jet-black hair was draped behind him, and his big eyes like stars looked at Cheng Shi, and he lowered his head embarrassedly.
"Big Brother Cheng?"
As the saying goes, people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, and after some dressing up, Qin Shuang's transformation made Cheng Shi stunned.
