Chapter 35 The Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas and Battles Near, and the Yellow Sparrow is like a god in the back
The three most luxurious carriages slowly drove to a heavily guarded mansion on the side of the arena and stopped, and three old men in brocade robes came down and explained to the guards again and again before they were led into the door.
This is the residence of Nelson, the chief steward of the arena, and Nelson sat peacefully in the living room drinking tea, but he wondered why the heads of the three major families suddenly came to the door to ask to see him.
It stands to reason that he is obviously biased in favor of the Qinghua family, depriving the three major families of the qualifications to participate in the warrior battle this year, and also punishing them heavilyγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
Nelson put down the teacup, his eyes were a little wandering, and he quickly returned to normal, just in time to see the three people who were rushing in, Doskin, Mile and Ziegler, who were rushing in, were introduced by the head of the guard, so he said indifferently: "The three heads of the family are here, please take a seat." β
After the three of them saw the ceremony, they took their seats, and their maidservants served tea.
"The three of you went to the old man's mansion today, I don't know what the important thing is?" Nelson asked softly as he picked up the teacup and blew it leisurely.
Du Si said respectfully: "Lord Steward, a few of us made a big mistake in the arena a few days ago, and now we are already remorseful, and I came here today, first, to thank Lord Steward for his good intentions in waking us up with heavy punishment, and secondly, I want to ask Lord Steward for something." β
As he spoke, the three of them each took a gold ring and handed it to the guards who were waiting at Nelson's side.
Nelson took the ring and glanced at it indifferently, and said with a haha: "The three heads of the family are so generous, how can the old man really afford it? A month ago, the old man was forced to decide on your departure, this rule cannot be broken, it is rare for you to be reasonable and understand the old man's difficulties." Anyway, do you have anything to ask the old man to help with? β
Duss knew that Nelson's greed for money and lust was well deserved, and he said respectfully: "Lord Steward, in view of the aggressive trend of the Qinghua family, I can't bear it again and again, but I can't bear it. Therefore, the three of us decided to join forces and completely drive the Qinghua family out of Mocheng, of course, this matter cannot be known to the city lord and his old man, we want to ask the steward to smash the city lord in front of the city lord to say a few kind words for us. If we can completely eradicate the Qinghua family, we promise that every family will give the adults a thousand catties of gold every year, and if the steward has any instructions, we will do our best to do it!"
Nelson gasped: "The three of you really have a big appetite! It sounds like your conditions are quite tempting, but today's Qinghua family's strength is not what it used to be, and it is not easy for you to swallow it in one bite, I'm afraid that you will not die by fighting snakes, but you will suffer from it, and don't involve the old man when the time comes!"
Du Si smiled and said: "Lord Steward, you also underestimate the heritage of our ancient martial arts families, if I wait for the hunting area of the Qinghua family, the high-grade ancient martial soul armor can be completed in the near future, and when the time comes, the steward Lord will be sent, and we will definitely swear to die." β
Nelson took a sip of tea and said indifferently: "This matter, the old man should not have heard of you, whether it is successful or not has nothing to do with the old man, I will not care, and the city lord will not care." If you want to fight or kill, don't do anything in the city. Also, the fighting battle is about to be held, but I have put my whole net worth on it, if anyone spoils my big thing, I will never let him have a good life!"
After a pause, he said: "I don't think the three of you came to tell me about this, right? You destroyed the Qinghua family, and I will be happy to explain to the city lord at that time, but you can think about it, there is a big man behind the Qinghua family!"
Du Si said with a pale face: "I can't hide it, this time the three of us came, just to ask the steward to find a way to stabilize that person, we have decided to officially start tomorrow, as long as the steward can leave that person in the city tomorrow, then great things can be expected, and we will not live up to the favor of the adult!"
Nelson said: "This is easy, I want to see, what method do you use to lure all the Qinghua family out of the city! No matter how I say it, I have to give the master of the tobacco house a face, I said, you don't want to ask the master of the tobacco house to do it for you, right?"
Du Si smiled dryly: "Your Excellency is really far-sighted, and I can't hide anything from you." We promised the master of the cigarette building, as long as he did it for us, the drawings of the Qinghua family would be owned by the master afterwards. β
A faint cruelty flashed in Nelson's eyes, and he nodded silently, and then said: "In this case, then I wish the three family masters a successful tomorrow! There is one thing I want to make clear to you in advance, if you want to do it, you can do it beautifully, Mocheng has been crowded with families recently, don't lose the face of the Mocheng family, you know that the city lord cares about this." One more thing you need to know is that once you officially start the war, then either side can go to the City Lord's Mansion to apply for immunity. I don't think I need to warn you about that, do I?"
A trace of irrepressible ecstasy flashed on the faces of the three Duss, and they nodded with a cruel smile and thanked in unison: "Thank you for your advice!
"No!" Nelson didn't even get up, waving indifferently.
When the three of them left Nelson's house in a carriage, a man flashed out of the secret door on the side of the parlor, and it was Monyan.
Nelson smiled and said, "You're a cunning little fox, you can guess everything." The old man really appreciates you more and more! Your boy's future is limitless!"
Meng Yang bowed and said: "My lord, if one day the city lord unifies Changle, then the lord will be the first important minister of the founding of the country, and the little one should do his best to serve the city lord and serve the lord." If I can't deal with a few declining Guwu families, where can I get the qualifications to enter the eyes of you and the city lord?"
"Okay, the old man admires your arrogance!By the way, what do you want Lingzhi for?" asked Nelson.
"I have two friends who have been injured by someone and need a 10,000-year-old Lingzhi to be cured, so I can only ask you for help!" Meng Yang said.
"Do you know how much gold a piece of 10,000-year-old Ganoderma lucidum is worth? I just happened to do a few things a few years ago, and the city lord was happy and rewarded the old man with five pieces, and the old man gave you two pieces, hoping that you would not disappoint the old man. You must know that if you mess up this matter, without waiting for the city lord to give an order, the old man will turn over and destroy you and the Qinghua family. Are you really ready?"
Nelson handed Meng Yang a jade box and asked uneasy.
Meng Yang said with great confidence: "Don't worry, my lord, after tomorrow, there will be a second ancient martial arts family in Mocheng, and I will send the three drawings to the adults as they are." β
Nelson said: "Tomorrow is a battle of masters, and it is also a melee, with your current strength, don't get involved in it, you know?In addition, Duss asked me to stabilize Master Kirishima tomorrow, of course, I was afraid that Master Kirishima would help the Qinghua family, hehe, you kid is really bad enough, you just want Kirishima to take it by surprise to deal with the cigarette building, right?"
Meng Yang smiled: "You can't hide anything from the adults! β
Less than a minute after Meng Yang left, Nelson had just picked up the three rings full of gold in front of him, when a familiar and majestic voice sounded in his ears: "Nelson, come to see me quickly!"
Nelson shuddered involuntarily, and said in his heart, Oops, could it be that all this was known by the city lord, but fear is fear, he has already thought of his words, but he has added some confidence.
Nelson opened a secret door and dodged in.
At the same time, in a secret room in the Tiehuajia Castle in the western district of Mocheng, Duss, Jinmile, and Ziegler were extremely respectfully accompanying a white-haired old man who was very short and capable like Master Kirishima.
Although the artifact maker and the armor maker are two completely different professions, the relationship between the weapon and the armor is like a spear and a shield, which cannot be reconciled, so the master of the tobacco house and the master of Kirishima are incompatible.
Although they served under the command of the city lord and were in the same armor shop, they never interacted with each other, and so did their respective disciples.
Under the majesty of the lord of the castle, Smoke Tower and Kirishima have secretly fought many times, and they are all half a catty and eight taels without winning or losing.
Some people say that Tobacco House and Kirishima once studied with the same master, one learned armor-making, and the other learned weapon-making, and the two seemed to be natural opponents, and neither of them obeyed the other.
"Master, this matter is a matter of life and death for the three of us, and without your old man's help, we have no chance of winning!" Dooss pleaded.
"What about the drawings I want, bring them!"
