Chapter 116: Pre-Match Meeting
Chu Feng did not hesitate, and immediately opened the door of the side hall. At this moment, the hall was bright, and the morning light shining in from the window, Chu Feng understood that it was another morning. Chu Feng left the main hall straight and walked outside. A guard on duty was also slightly taken aback when he saw Chu Feng come out. But now the people in the entire palace knew that Chu Feng was the guest of honor of the city lord, so the guard also saluted him respectfully.
Chu Feng replied with a salute and asked, "Excuse me, where is the pre-match meeting of the Danwang Conference?"
The guard pointed to the outside of the main hall and said, "It's held in the Dan Tower." ”
Looking in the direction pointed by the guards, Chu Feng saw that on the opposite side of the lake, there was the tallest building, which was the Dan Tower. If the palace of the Lord of the Night Castle is the most luxurious place in the entire Dan City, then the Dan Tower is the highest place in the entire Dan City, and it is the most iconic building.
Chu Feng thanked him and rushed in the direction of the Dan Tower.
At this moment, the outside of the Dan Tower is already full of people, and the pre-game meeting of the most grand Dan King Conference in the entire Dan City is about to be held, so the Dan City is also empty at the moment. Compared to the official competition, the pre-match meeting of the Danwang Conference is actually more interesting. Because at this conference, there will be candidates for the major families to participate in this Danwang conference. Most people actually don't care about some small families, and what everyone really cares about is what kind of people the four major families in Dancheng will send to participate this time.
The pre-game meeting was held on the first floor of the Dan Building, and ordinary people could not enter the Dan Building, but in order to let everyone know the movements of the Danwang Conference, outside the door on the first floor, the Dan Master Guild would arrange several special people to introduce the latest developments inside to the people gathered outside.
In the large venue on the first floor, Tang Long walked in with the people of the Tang family. In a few positions on the north side of the venue, there is a sign with the words "Dancheng Tang Family" in front. Tang Long led the people towards the position. Coming to the edge of the seat, Tang Long naturally sat on the first seat, while Lian Yaotian sat next to him as a matter of course.
As soon as Tang Long sat down, he saw that in the opposite position, Mo Yiwen had already sat there with the people of the Mo family, and when he saw Tang Long, Mo Yiwen showed a polite smile.
Next to Mo Yiwen, there was Wei Ding, the great Danshi of the Mo family, and the two siblings Mo Cong and Mo Lian.
"Tang Long, in the last gambling battle, the old man saw the strength of the Tang family. However, both of us are from a family of pills, and we can't afford to eat because of our strong gambling skills. Mo Yi asked and smiled at Tang Long.
"Mo asked, our Tang family can beat you at the gambling table, and we can also beat you at the Danwang Conference. Tang Long said confrontingly.
Mo Yiwen sneered, and just as he wanted to talk, a voice came immediately.
"The two patriarchs, the game hasn't started yet, why is the smell of gunpowder so strong. ”
Tang Long followed the sound and looked, only to see a black-robed man who had already walked into the venue surrounded by a group of people. The black-robed man walked steadily, with no smile on his face, and seemed to be deep and incomprehensible. For him, everyone present recognized that he was Qiu Xiaotian, the patriarch of the enemy family. On Qiu Xiaotian's side, they were his two sons, Qiu Yang and Qiu Yue.
In addition to the Dancheng Wang family, the Qiu family is the most powerful, in addition to the fact that the alchemists of the Qiu family are the first of the three major families in terms of quantity and quality, and more importantly, the patriarch of the Qiu family, Qiu Xiaotian, is a strong man at the peak of martial arts. The strength of the Nine Star Battle Martial Arts is enough to be proud of several other major families.
Seeing Qiu Xiaotian entering, Tang Long and Mo Yiwen were two manifestations respectively, Tang Long snorted coldly and stopped paying attention, while Mo Yiwen stood up flatteringly and gave up his hand.
Seeing Mo Yiwen standing up, Qiu Xiaotian also nodded: "Patriarch Mo doesn't have to be polite, our two families are about to become in-laws, so this etiquette will be waived." ”
Hearing this, Tang Long was suddenly taken aback, he only had this point that the Mo family and the enemy family were an alliance, but he didn't think that the two families were already engaged. If the two families are combined, the Tang family will inevitably be even more lonely.
"That's that, as soon as the Danwang meeting is over, I'll let Li'er get ready to pass through the door. Mo Yiwen continued to smile and say.
"Haha, the old man has prepared a dowry for Miss Li'er, and she will not suffer a loss if she marries my family's Qiu Yang. Qiu Xiaotian laughed. Qiu Yang next to him looked at the incomparably beautiful Mo Lian, and he also showed a smug smile.
But on the other hand, Mo Lian's side didn't seem to be satisfied, she just frowned slightly and didn't speak.
"Sister Tang, it seems that that girl doesn't want to marry that Qiu Yang. Yu Kui observed slightly, saw Mo Lian's expression, and said.
Tang Yan hadn't spoken yet, but Lian Yan on the side snorted coldly: "Even if people are not happy, they will not object." The good thing of this kind of alliance is related to the whole family, how can it be like some people in our family, when the enemy came to propose marriage, they refused without giving any face. ”
Tang Yan could hear the meaning of Lian Yan's words, what she was referring to was that the enemy family came to the Tang family to propose marriage, hoping to let Tang Yan marry, but was rejected by the Tang family. Regarding that proposal, on the one hand, Tang Yan was unwilling to marry someone he didn't love, and on the other hand, Tang Long considered that the Tang family only had such a daughter, and if he married, it was bound that the Tang family's property would eventually belong to the enemy.
The two families were hot, while the Tang family stood aside coldly. After the Qiu family and the Mo family sat down separately, an old man also slowly walked to the center of the venue.
Seeing the old man appear, the audience immediately fell silent. This old man is known to everyone, and he is the president of the Danshi branch in Dancheng - He Jia. He usually said that he didn't leave the Dan Building, and only dealt with some things of the Danshi Branch, and only showed up when the Dan King was at the conference.
He Jia was very thin, and his back was bent, and his eyelids were always drooping as if he hadn't woken up. After scanning the venue with his small eyes, he said: "The old man of the Danwang Conference has presided over no less than ten sessions, and I believe everyone understands the rules, so I won't repeat them. ”
Hearing He Jia say this, the people below didn't dare to make a sound. He Jia, a person who has participated in several Danwang conferences, knows that this person is the most lazy, does not like to speak, and will never use two words if he can summarize it in one word, since he said that there is something to announce, it is definitely not a trivial matter.
"What I want to say is that at this Danwang Conference, the Dancheng royal family will be the first to withdraw. As for the reason for the withdrawal, it is very simple, the Wang family only provides pills for the imperial family, so there is no point in participating in the Danwang Conference again, and the head of the Wang family has something important recently, so he took the initiative to withdraw. He Jia said.
Hearing this, the audience was stunned.
"How could this Wang family quit?" Tang Yan frowned. She peeked at Mo Yiwen and Qiu Xiaotian, although the two were expressionless, Tang Yan could read it, and the two did not believe the explanation given by He Jia.
This Danwang Conference is very important, even if the Wang family is to provide pills for the imperial family, but every Danwang Conference The royal family attaches great importance to it, and it has never been like this to give up participating. Therefore, Tang Yan concluded that something must have happened to the Wang family.
But He Jia didn't seem to mean to talk more, so no one continued to ask questions on this issue.
He Jia yawned loudly: "Okay, that's all I want to announce." The following is a list of family members who participated in the three events of the Danwang Conference. Please invite all the people from the major families to participate in the first alchemy project to come out. ”
As soon as He Jia's words fell, Lian Yaotian, who was beside Tang Long, stood up and walked out slowly.
Seeing Lian Yaotian coming out, people from other families didn't seem surprised, the Tang family's Great Dan Master Lian Yaotian, everyone knew him, and it was reasonable for him to fight. On the Mo family's side, it was really Mo Ding, the Mo family's great Dan master, who was fighting, but as soon as the contestants from the Qiu family's side appeared, it suddenly caused an uproar in the audience. Because the person who fought the enemy family was Qiu Yang, the eldest son of the Qiu family.
This Qiu Yang's face was as gloomy as Qiu Xiaotian's, and his face was expressionless, but he hadn't seen it for a while, and his lips had turned black, and it could be seen that because of long-term alchemy, there was erysipelas. Qiu Yang slowly walked to He Jia's side, and even He Jia was slightly surprised.
Generally, most of the people who participate in this link are relatively old Great Dan Masters of various ethnic groups, but the Qiu family has a Qiu Yang here, and everyone has heard that he has obtained the qualification of the Great Dan Master at a young age. But even so, for such an important competition, experienced and older Danshi are usually sent, and few families send young people to participate. Therefore, the enemy's move also made people feel a trace of palpitations while being stunned.
He Jia took out a crystal ball. This crystal ball is used by the Danshi Guild to verify the identity of the participating Danshi. After He Jia took out the crystal ball, Lian Yaotian was the first to put his hand up. The crystal ball immediately glowed, projecting the words "Great Danshi" on the wall. The audience burst into applause.
Immediately, the participants from other families came to test, and some of the participants from small families were basically at the Dan Master level, and some were Dan Master apprentices, except for Lian Yaotian who was a Great Dan Master, only Wei Ding and Qiu Yang were also Great Dan Masters.
After everyone verified their identities, He Jia announced the second link, which was the pill knowledge competition. This link is generally participated in by female Dan masters from major families. The Tang family naturally sent Lian Yan, and it was Mo Lian who played in the Mo family, and when it was the turn of the enemy family to send a representative, in the crowd of the enemy family, a wheelchair was slowly pushed out. In a wheelchair sat a young woman, with a pale face and thin lips without any blood, who seemed to be in poor physical condition.
Seeing this young woman, Tang Long couldn't help frowning: "Qiu Xiaotian's youngest daughter, Qiu Xing, how could it be her?"
The three children of the Qiu family, Qiu Yang, Qiu Yue and the youngest daughter Qiu Xing. It is said that among the three children of the Qiu family, the eldest and the second are geniuses, and the youngest daughter is a waste, but now it is still surprising to see her compete in the second project.
