Chapter 407: Refining Conference
"Even the princess is here, and there must have been a lot of other princes and nobles, and it seems that this year's refining conference will be more exciting than any in previous years. ”
Speaking of this, Luo Ling stretched out her tongue and licked her lips, and her expression gradually turned gloomy.
"Qin Nan, dare to make Young Master Ben make a fool of himself in front of Miss Lanshuang, and want to reduce Miss Lanshuang's good impression of Young Master Ben, my conscience is really bad, I will let you repay me ten times and a hundred times at the refining conference. ”
"Hmph, let's go. Luo Ling gave an order to the groom in front of him, and then the Luo family's convoy also entered the back door of the martial arts club
The Xiao family's motorcade entered the back door of the martial arts meeting, which was a wide square, and at this time, countless carriages had been parked on the square, and a large area of black pressure had been stopped.
And in front of every carriage, there were servants there to look after.
The Xiao family finally found a place to stop the carriage, and then Qin Nan and the Xiao family ancestor and others got out of the carriage.
"There is still some distance from the place where the refining conference will be held, so we must walk forward, let's go. ”
The ancestor of the Xiao family said to Qin Nan, and then took the initiative to walk in the front to lead the way, he seemed to be extremely familiar with the refining conference, and he must have participated in it when he was young.
Qin Nan and the ancestor of the Xiao family walked side by side, and after walking a dozen steps, he saw a familiar figure of a young girl. I saw that the latter was wearing a light blue light veil, and his skin was white, like jade.
She didn't have any expression, and her pretty face was plain, just because of this, her whole person looked like a cold ice sculpture goddess.
Lan Shuang, the daughter of Lan Qiu, the lord of Refining Weapon City.
Qin Nan met her once, and it was on the side of Changshengji. At the same time that Qin Nan was looking at her, she was also looking at Qin Nan.
Qin Nan smiled at "hee-hee", the second time they met, no matter what they said, a smile should still be.
But she didn't seem to appreciate it, and her pretty face lowered directly, because she might feel that a guy like Qin Nan who casually hooked up with a beautiful woman was like a hooligan.
Qin Nan greeted her, but she didn't expect the other party to pretend not to see it, and lowered her head, as if she was not very willing to respond to Qin Nan's friendliness.
Qin Nan frowned, and at this moment, he saw a big rough hand on Lan Shuang's shoulder. It was obviously a man's hand, and it seemed to be a warrior.
The next moment, a middle-aged man walked out from behind Lan Shuang, and it seemed that he and Lan Shuang were extremely intimate.
"Lord of the City, I didn't expect to meet you here. Suddenly, the ancestor of the Xiao family next to Qin Nan took the initiative to greet the middle-aged man behind Lan Shuang and called the other party the city lord.
It seems that he should be Lan Shuang's father, that is, Lan Qiu, the city lord of Refining Weapon City.
"Hello Mr. Xiao. City Lord Lanqiu nodded to the ancestor of the Xiao family, looking like he was ignoring it, the situation was not very good.
It seems that Lanqiu and Lanshuang, father and daughter, are like this, and they don't care much about outsiders. Such a situation was seen by Qin Nan.
"Is the city lord also here to watch the refining conference?" Although Lanqiu didn't pay much attention to the Xiao family ancestor, the Xiao family ancestor still went to say hello.
"Each other, each other. City Lord Arashigaoka said.
The ancestor of the Xiao family nodded, and then, the city lords Lan Qiu and Lan Shuang took a cadre of the Lan family up a wooden ladder next to it and entered the martial arts club.
There are not many people in the Lan family, except for the Lan Qiu father and daughter, there are also two or three people who look like guards, who seem to be sparsely populated and have no successors.
"Old sir. ”
Seeing the people of the Lan family walking away, Qin Nan spoke, wanting to ask about the City Lord's Mansion.
"You want to ask about the Lanqiu family, right?" the ancestor of the Xiao family asked slowly while staying with Qin Nan walking up the wooden stairs.
Qin Nan nodded.
The ancestor of the Xiao family said: "This city lord of Refining Weapon City is canonized by the empire, I think you should have heard of it, right?"
Lan Qiu, the city lord of Refining Weapon City, was canonized by the empire, and he did not rely on his own strength to control Refining Weapon City. This point is similar to those city lords of the Yamato Kingdom, who are all canonized by the imperial court.
Qin Nan nodded and acquiesced to the Xiao family's ancestor's statement, he knew relatively little about the matter of the city lord Lanqiu.
I only heard the ancestor of the Xiao family continue: "Refining Weapon City is not as simple as imagined, Lanqiu actually wants to be bigger, but he doesn't have that strength. Once he wants to become bigger, then the first thing he has to face is the two giants of the Luo family and the Ji family, in addition, there are many families in the refining city that are stronger than their Lan family, I don't know how many. ”
"He's a puppet city lord. Qin Nan took the conversation and said slowly.
The ancestor of the Xiao family nodded and said, "Yes, Lanqiu is just a puppet, if it weren't for the seal of the Daewoo Kingdom, how could he Lanqiu become the city lord? The reason for this investigation is a bit of an element of the innocence of the horseman, because anyone who tries to get close to him Lanqiu must be suspected by him of coveting his position as the lord of the city. ”
Anyone who tries to get close to Ranqiu will be seen as coveting his position as the lord of the city!
Hearing this, Qin Nan understood, immediately nodded, and said: "I see, I was strange just now, although the Xiao family is not the number one family in Refining City, but Old Mr. Xiao's seniority is not many generations older than him Lanqiu, but his passive response attitude is a little indifferent and excessive." Qin Nan said.
The two walked to the end of the wooden staircase, there was a portal in front of them, and everyone in the Xiao family walked in, and then they heard a noisy sound from behind the portal, and it seemed that there were many people.
"It looks like it's going to be very lively. "The ancestor of the Xiao family didn't mention the matter of Lanqiu again, and brought the topic to the refining conference.
It turned out that the place where the refining conference was held was separated from the back door of the carriage by a wall.
Behind the portal, is a place similar to the Colosseum. In the middle is a square, about a thousand steps square, and around the square is a trapezoidal auditorium.
At this time, the audience was densely packed with people, and I am afraid that there are tens of thousands of people.
And on the square, hundreds of tables have been set up at this time, and there are a lot of refining materials stacked on them, it seems that it should be a stage for the refiners who participated in the refining conference.
The ancestor of the Xiao family glanced at the audience, frowned slightly, and said, "This year's refining conference is more spectacular than any in previous years, and even the nobles and high-ranking officials of the empire have come. ”
When Qin Nan heard this, he said, "Isn't Daewoo Kingdom going to war with Yamato?
When the ancestor of the Xiao family heard this, he smiled and said, "Who knows? The matter of the war between Daewoo and Yamato has been in an uproar recently, and it seems that it is indeed a fact. ”
The ancestor of the Xiao family also heard about the imminent war between the Yamato Kingdom and the Daewoo Kingdom, but he didn't know the truth, and he didn't know much about the authenticity of the news.
When Qin Nan heard this, he was silent, he knew about this news for a long time, and he was sure that this was the truth very early.
Qin Nan's eyes at this moment were attracted by the lineup of the Refining Conference, and it seemed that he still underestimated the strength of this Refining City. The refining city held a refining conference, and even the nobles and high-ranking officials of the Daewoo Empire came to observe, which showed how huge its influence was.
"Let one go, let one go. ”
At this moment, behind the Xiao family's team, a middle-aged man's voice came, which seemed to be opening the way.
Who the hell is it? The shelf is so big, dare to open the way at the refining conference casually.
Qin Nan's heart moved, and he was slightly angry, but he still couldn't help but not burst out, turned his head to look, and saw two warriors in black power suits opening the way in the crowd, letting the people of the Xiao family get out of the way for the time being, as if there was someone with distinguished status behind him who was about to pass by.
"Great Martial Master?" Qin Nan saw those two people who opened the Dao, and immediately judged that the other party's cultivation was amazingly a master of the third stage or so of the Great Martial Master, and Xiao Yun, the head of the Xiao family, was at the same level.
Who is it? He actually let the master of the third stage of the Great Martial Master open the way for himself.
At this time, Qin Nan saw it clearly, and saw a team of heavily armed soldiers in the crowd, surrounding the three girls.
Among the three girls, the last two are obviously maids, and the girl in the front is the main one.
This person is dressed in white, seventeen or eighteen years old, his face is cold, he can't see a trace of expression, his hands are resting on his lower abdomen stiffly, and his lotus steps are slightly open, and his every move is very exquisite.
Qin Nan frowned, obviously such a big battle was all for the girl in white.
There are also soldiers escorting in the back, and it seems that at least she is the daughter of the official family!
However, those who opened the way deliberately did not mention the identity of the girl, but blindly buried their heads in front of them to open the way, letting the people on the road get aside.
The ancestor of the Xiao family signaled to everyone in the Xiao family, and soon, the people of the Xiao family retreated to both sides of the passage, leaning against the wall, so that the girl in white could get through.
She came and slowly walked in front of Qin Nan, while Qin Nan stared at the other party deadly, as if he wanted to see her through.
This kind of staring made the girl in white extremely uncomfortable, she frowned, and instantly realized a sense of crisis.
"Princess, what's the matter?"
Suddenly, another middle-aged strong man walked up to the girl in white, called her a princess, and asked her what had happened.
The girl's every move in white undoubtedly touched the hearts of these many people, and when she was uncomfortable, she immediately came to escort the great martial artist.
The girl in white raised her head and looked straight at Qin Nan, and the eyes of the two looked at each other, as if it was an invisible contest.
At this time, the middle-aged man beside the girl in white felt a hint of crisis, and walked straight in front of Qin Nan, covering Qin Nan and preventing Qin Nan from looking at her.
Suddenly, a trace of displeasure rose on Qin Nan's face, if he stood in front of him at ordinary times, he would definitely not say a word. But now this person runs in front of him, still with his back to him, which is extremely impolite and tantamount to provocation.
The team of girls in white quickly walked over.
Qin Nan stretched out his hand and pushed the middle-aged strong man in front of him away, and asked in a cold voice, "This brother, what do you mean by this?" R1058
