"Tao Wei, the master of the Golden Dao Gate, has arrived!" A clear registration sound sounded at the door of the villa of Zhujia Villa, and after the Zhuang Ding who guarded the door loudly informed the origin of the guests, a knowing guest respectfully welcomed a team of monks in brown suits into the door, led by a monk who was nearly fifty years old, but his body could be seen through his clothes.

"Zhuang Master, except for the people from the two major sects of Jiyu Village and the Plum Blossom Sect, who are still on the way, the heroes of the other sects have already arrived. The Great Wei Governor's Palace, the guests of the imperial court and the Yuanliu mission will come forward together after everyone has gathered. Zhu Qing, the housekeeper of the Zhu family, was respectfully reporting the movements of the guests to a tall, sturdy and dignified middle-aged merchant standing in front of him.

The middle-aged wealthy businessman is the owner of this manor, and he is also the helmsman of the Zhu family, Zhu Mingtao. A figure who can be said to be pivotal in the Western Desert Country.

With his left hand caressing the tiger's head on the marble railing, Zhu Mingtao stood at the highest point in the manor, looking down at the crowded front yard.

"Got it." Zhu Mingtao said very casually, as if he didn't care about the first event of the Western Desert Martial Arts in front of him, "The auction of Huibao Pavilion will start in two days, are you sure to auction that Lingyuan green vine?" ”

"Back to the owner, I am eighty percent sure."

Zhu Mingtao was silent for a moment and said, "It's enough." ”

"The owner, his subordinates are incompetent, and there are many high-rollers participating in the auction, so his subordinates are really not sure." Zhu Qing's face was ashamed.

"It doesn't matter." Zhu Mingtao shook his head, "For monks, the elixir is for use, and the true law is for the body, I have been studying the secret method for this period of time, and I have gained a little in my heart, and the level in front of me has been loosened, even if I don't rely on external objects to help, I can step into the realm of the grandmaster in two years." ”

"Congratulations to the owner." Zhu Qing smiled and congratulated: "Since the founding of the Western Desert, there has never been a grandmaster, and when you succeed, the threshold of the Zhuangzi Gate will probably have to be changed three times a day." ”

Zhu Mingtao responded with a smile: "It is also the protection of the Holy Venerable, and a secret book of martial arts left by the ancestors was actually found in the library pavilion, otherwise there would not be such an entry." But if it really comes to the day when I succeed, I probably won't stay in the Western Desert. ”

"The subordinates will be touched by the light of the Lord at that time, and I won't tell you that my subordinates have long wanted to appreciate the wind and moon of Dawei."

"Then you should start preparing now." Zhu Mingtao's voice was full of confidence, "Let's go, let's go meet the guests who have arrived first." ”

……

Tao Wei led the doorman behind him, walked through the front yard under the leadership of Zhike, and after greeting a few acquaintances from the rivers and lakes, he walked all the way through a large quiet garden and came to a wide and magnificent martial arts arena.

The arena is surrounded by a circle of elaborately carved pavilions, which are lined with tables, chairs and refreshments.

"Master Tao, please sit down here from your sect." Zhike stopped in front of a staircase, and Tao Wei looked up to see that the location of the Golden Knife Gate was arranged in a place near the northeast side.

"I'm tired." Tao Wei thanked him, and then led his doorman to the pavilion and sat down, the moment his butt fell on the chair, Tao Wei couldn't help but look at the seat near the north, once upon a time, the Golden Knife Gate was qualified to sit in that direction.

He sighed inwardly, but on the surface there were no waves.

"Isn't this Serena Williams?" An old voice rang out a short distance to the left.

Tao Wei raised his head, only to find that it was Zheng Yidao, who had a relationship with his father, so he quickly stood up and said, "It turned out to be Uncle Zheng, Tao Wei is polite." The other people of the Golden Dao Gate also hurriedly stood up and saluted Zheng Yidao.

"Okay, okay, no need to be polite." Zheng Yidao smiled and said to the people of the Golden Dao Gate: "Come on, come on, you juniors, let me go, and I will have a good talk with Second Brother Tao's son." ”

Zheng Yidao is a casual cultivator, and it stands to reason that his seat should be in the south, but Zheng Yidao is not an ordinary casual cultivator. Although he has not yet become a half-step grandmaster, Zheng Yidao has an easy-going personality and a clever brain, and has traveled extensively for decades, and during the rebellion of the Lu Clan, he even participated in the demon slaying alliance formed by monks. Now, with his own generation and experience, he is an old-timer respected by many people in the martial arts of the Western Desert Country. At this time's martial arts conference, Zhujiazhuang was obviously very face-saving.

"Xiao Wei, who did you send from the Golden Dao Sect to fight this time?" Zheng Yidao didn't see it, and after sitting down, he took a small piece of rice cake, put it in his mouth and chewed it.

"It's Su Ling and Zhang Mingyang, Uncle Zheng, you've seen them before."

"Well, those two little guys are indeed talented, especially Su Ling's little girl, maybe in a few decades, your Golden Dao Sect will have another female master."

"It's a pity that there are only a few people who can really get their hands on it, Wen Wen is still recovering from his injuries, and I don't dare to risk letting him go up."

Zheng Yidao looked at the sky with his eyes, and while thinking back to those memories that made him proud, he comforted: "You also know that during the rebellion of the Lu Clan, I was fortunate enough to listen to it in front of Shi Daxia for a while, although it was not long, but the leaders of the Eastern and Western Land Gate Sect have also seen some. What do those great sects that can stand for a hundred years rely on, and they are not the top martial arts and Daozang that are powerful and powerful? We definitely can't compare with the sect of Great Wei, but your father's Twelve Roads Broken Rock Golden Knife in Gyeonggi and Eastern Sanzhou was definitely a first-class exercise in our Western Desert, as long as we guard the foundation of the sect, it is only a matter of time before Dongshan rises again in the future. ”

Seeing that Tao Wei was silent, Zheng Yidao persuaded again: "Don't blame your uncle for not opening which pot to mention, although Sun Teng's little thief is mixing well now, but he is also proficient in the first three ways of the knife technique passed down from generation to generation in your Golden Daomen, and your father only got half of the essence when he was powerful in Modong, although the Golden Daomen is not as good as in the past, but the momentum is still there, as long as you carefully cultivate new talents and stabilize the hearts of the people in the door, you don't have to worry about the truth that you will not sit in the north again in the future, do you say yes or no?" ”

Tao Wei nodded in agreement, but he was still sighing in his heart, in his opinion, Zheng Yidao was certainly an old-timer, but after all, he was a free and accustomed casual cultivator, and it was impossible to truly understand the difficulties of being in charge of a sect.

The two chatted again, and Zhuang Ding's loud announcement came from the entrance of the martial arts arena, "Shengde Gong Han Yu has arrived, and Wen Yuanbo Li Zhong has arrived!" ”

Everyone present, including the monks of the major sects and the officials who had already arrived, stood up, needless to say, Han Wei's identity, if it weren't for the current privy envoy Cao Ming to protect Han Qu and persuade the governor of the Southern Wilderness, the current King of the Western Desert would be Han Wei. Li Zhong is even the Western Desert Country Shilin as a Chinese Grandmaster, and the people are extremely high, and these two people walked in front and back, and they really couldn't help everyone present think more.

In fact, Li Zhong and Han Wei were also quite embarrassed in their hearts, it was indeed a coincidence that the two of them entered the door back and forth, but it was not discussed in advance.

"Princess Hecheng has recovered from a serious illness, and the old man is here to congratulate the king of the county." Li Zhong had a faint smile on his face.

"Thank you, Uncle Wenyuan."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the two of them parted ways to their seats, both knowing in their hearts that each other's identities made it unsuitable for them to talk too much in such a situation.

"That's Sheng Degong." Zheng Yidao stretched his neck to look outside, and couldn't help smacking his lips, "I heard that he met a noble person a few days ago and helped his granddaughter heal her illness." ”

"I have some people in the palace who know me, and he told me that he was cured by a Danshi from the Western Continent." Tao Wei responded: "By the way, the junior also heard that the Dan Master seems to have been invited by the king today, I don't know if it's true or not." ”

"And such a thing? Oh, if it's true, I don't know why? Zheng Yidao poured himself a sip of hot brown bean drink, and then shook his head disapprehantly, "Anyone with a discerning eye can see who this martial arts viewing conference is aimed at, and he actually invited a Khitadan master to come over, I really don't know what you think, I think your news is probably not accurate." ”

"I heard that it is a person from the Pharmacist Chamber of Commerce, and Da Wei doesn't seem to say anything, if this news is true, then according to your predecessors, will it be sent by the Pharmacist Chamber of Commerce to show us goodwill?" Tao Wei asked.

"Da Wei, this is a rush to the doctor." Zheng Yidao still shook his head, "The Dan masters are powerful in refining medicine, but in terms of force, they are like koalas in the mountains of Lingnan Prefecture, don't look at what kind of laymen they claim to be, but as long as their headquarters are still in the territory of the Alliance Khanate, it is at the mercy of the Chita people, I really don't know what those big people think." ”

Tao Wei didn't argue anymore, and seemed to think that Zheng Yidao was reasonable.

"The West Continent Scattered Repair Stone has arrived!"

The venue was quiet again, and the eyes of almost all the people in the rivers and lakes looked at Shi Cheng, and all kinds of emotions were chaotic and complicated. The officials uniformly cast mocking and disdainful glances, after all, Shi Cheng's "feat" at the Qinghe Pond Poetry Meeting a few days ago had already reached their ears.

"This is the rumored guest who was temporarily invited by the king? How is it a Chita barbarian? ”

"I heard that this barbarian seems to have had a relationship with Sheng Degong before, so he was invited by an exception this time, but looking at Sheng Degong's expression, why does it feel like this is not the case?"

"The Western Barbarians themselves are not worthy of courtesy."

"Why did the king invite him over?"

Everyone was whispering.

A few people who knew more about the inside story couldn't help but mutter, "This is the Xilu Danshi who cured Princess Hecheng?" After all, it is a person from the Apothecary Chamber of Commerce, and although it is a Chita, it is not necessarily the eagle dog of the tyrant. ”

Tie Mian's face was a little not good-looking, when Zhike signed up, he did not report the name of Shi Cheng Pharmacist Chamber of Commerce, but used the title of Xilu Sanxiu, which made him feel ominous in his heart, he looked at Shi Cheng, and then found that Shi Cheng's eyebrows were also slightly raised.

"Shi Gongzi, please come with me." Zhike said to Shi Cheng, and then he turned his head and instructed another Zhuang Ding not far away: "Ah Liu, you take Wu Gongzi and Tie Gongzi to the south." ”

"Aren't we going to sit together?" Although he had expected that he would be arranged like this, Wu Neng still wanted to work hard.

Zhike showed a look of embarrassment on his face, "I'm really sorry, two sons, this is an order from the imperial court." ”

"In that case, there's no way around it." Shi Cheng didn't plan to fight, after all, it was useless to fight. He turned his head and instructed Tie Mian and Wu Neng: "Old Wu, Tie Mian, pay more attention, eat and drink well." ”

Tie Mian nodded, while Wu Neng sighed a little worriedly, "Old Shi, you should also pay more attention." ”
