"Everyone, please be calm!" In front of the highest hall of the City Lord's Mansion, the square was already crowded with people at the moment, and some powerful forces like the Song family and the Qin family were arranged on the seats set up on both sides of the square, and the patriarchs and elders of each family had already gone to congratulate the city lord Xiao Qiong on his birthday at this moment, while juniors like Song Jiatong and others had to wait in the square.

"I wish the Lord of Xiao City a year and a year!"

"Blessing is like the East China Sea, longevity than Nanshan!"

...... The sound in the square was higher and higher, but Chen Su and Song Jiatong sat quietly on their seats, closing their eyes and recuperating without being infected by this warm atmosphere, just waiting for the end of the birthday celebration and the beginning of the martial arts meeting. And Qin, Meng, Ning and other forces also have a lot of people jumping on the seats, but any one of them looks more lively than the Song family here, in addition to the three owners, the people from the Song family are the three clan elders and the chief of the guard Song Yi who Chen Su has never met before, but together the people of the Song family are less than a dozen, compared with the Qin family and other lineups of dozens of people, it is a lot colder.

On the seat of the Song family, Chen Su and Song Jiatong sat in the center, and next to them on the right hand side was the Meng family, Meng Wei stared at Song Jiatong from a distance for a long time, almost drooling out, and then couldn't help but stand up and walk towards the seat of the Song family, Meng Qi and the others were talking, no one noticed Meng Wei's actions, the young man came to Jiatong and the two alone, pouting and smiling, "What, the huge Song family, are there only two of you left now?"

Song Jiatong and Chen Su had already sensed Meng Wei's actions with their mental power, but they didn't want to see this child in general, so they closed their eyes and recuperated, and they didn't even bother to raise their eyelids, let alone talk to Meng Wei.

Meng Wei saw that the two of them ignored him, and couldn't help but feel that his face was gloomy, and sneered: "Hmph! What's the big deal, a family that is about to decline, there is not even a decent character among the juniors, last year there were three of them, but they were abolished one and a half, and this year they even sent a woman and a waste, I think your Song family might as well go back as soon as possible......"

Meng Wei stood there and talked more and more ugly, although Meng Qi found that the youngest brother was not there, but he smiled and did not call him back, Meng Wei chattered around Song Jiatong for more than a dozen words, Jiatong finally couldn't hold back, his spirit moved, and a soft force directly ejected Meng Wei's body three or four feet away, fell on the seat, and Meng Wei snorted, grinning and humming, while Jiatong and Chen Su still didn't move.

Meng Wei struggled to get up, and the noise alarmed the Meng family, and a blue-shirted woman who was originally standing behind Meng Qi hurriedly flashed over to support Meng Wei, and asked nervously and concernedly: "Little brother, what's wrong with you?" While asking, he kept checking Meng Wei's arms and back, apparently afraid that Meng Wei would be injured.

Meng Wei salivated and pointed at Song Jiatong, and said with bared teeth: "Second sister, they beat me, you have to avenge me!"

When the blue-shirted woman heard this, her face turned cold, and she stared at Song Jiatong and Chen Su and shouted angrily, "Why did you hit my brother?"

Song Jiatong and Chen Su were still the same as before, too lazy to talk nonsense with others, so for the question of the blue-shirted woman, the two of them still had their eyes slightly closed, and the blue-shirted woman was angry when she saw this, her right fist was slightly clenched, and the Yuan Force of the Great Perfection of the Soul Realm also spread, and her Yuan Force, Meng Qi knew that if she didn't stop it, she would have to do it, so she hurriedly shouted from behind: "Xin Rong, come back!"

Meng Qi's words were like orders, which made Meng Xinrong's delicate body tremble, suppressed her anger, and turned around and said, "Big brother, they actually bullied the younger brother, how can we sit idly by?"

"Second sister!" Meng Qi's expression became a little stricter, "Listen to the eldest brother, now is not the time to do anything with others, don't you know what day it is today and what place this is? Don't make trouble for everyone." ”

"Big brother, but they just hit me. Meng Wei's face was full of grievances, and he didn't seem to understand how his eldest brother, who had always protected him, seemed to be a different person today.

"Shut up! Meng Qi scolded angrily, it looked like he was really on fire, so frightened that Meng Wei muttered twice, but he didn't dare to make a sound, and obediently returned to his seat. Meng Xinrong had no choice but to sigh softly, followed Meng Wei over, and continued to soothe his younger brother who was still unconvinced. Meng Qi glanced at Song Jiatong's position, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he also turned around and sat on his seat.

......

The square was crowded with more and more people, and it was almost full. It was nearly noon, sixteen palace doors suddenly opened, and the square instantly became silent, looking along the palace door, on the throne in the center of the main hall, a handsome and mighty middle-aged man sat high, behind him, fourteen guards lined up on both sides, and the people who came from each family to congratulate the birthday all stood respectfully bowed their heads and stood below.

The man on the throne looked full of ambition, undoubtedly the city lord Xiao Qiong, after the palace door was opened, someone in the square took the lead, and thousands of people shouted in unison: "I wish the city lord a thousand years, and the sun and the moon will be enjoyed forever!"

Xiao Qiong looked at it with satisfaction for a while, and then smiled and bowed to his hand, and when everyone stopped the slogan, Xiao Qiong leaned forward slightly on the throne, and said quite proudly: "Today is the period of cheap surrender, and you will not give up, come to our mansion, Xiao is honored, has prepared a little thin wine, set up a rough banquet, and please enjoy it." Xiao Qiong said, waved his hand to the front, and a sturdy man among the guards behind him flashed out, and said aloud to everyone: "The city lord has an order, the left and right sides have set up a banquet, please go, no one is left on the square, and the martial arts meeting will start later, and the city lord invites all the family heads and patriarchs to watch the martial arts together." As soon as this person's voice fell, nearly 100 guards who had already been prepared in the square began to evacuate the crowd and guide them to separate seats into two compartments.

In a short time, there was no one left in a huge square, except for the juniors of each family waiting on the seats, those who came to participate in the martial arts meeting in their personal capacity also stood outside the arena. Seeing this scene, Xiao Qiongcai slowly stood up from his seat and said solemnly: "Everyone, Xiao is still martial, I think you all know, I think I have wasted my time for 60 years now, although there is a small success, but every time compared with the masters, I am still embarrassed, as the saying goes, the old man is in the bush, and the ambition is thousands of miles, and the juniors should work harder, otherwise the century-old family business will be ruined." Now that everyone is gathering, I want to let the juniors of the family show their strength in front of the elders, and also see which of the descendants are the pillars of talent. ”

His Royal Highness, everyone bowed their hands to cater to him: "The city lord of Xiao is far-sighted, after thinking about it for us, all the families will definitely live up to expectations, but the city lord is the first to look forward." ”

Xiao Qiong nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "But in order to give the children some motivation, Xiao still set up a special reward. As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a guard behind him took out a gourd-sized wine jar, Xiao Qiong looked at the wine jar, "This is a drunken immortal drink, which is brewed by the wine saint Luo Wang Sun, the wine saint took several years to get a total of twelve altars, and later he exchanged three of them with the medicine king Sun Si for five Luo Ling Pills, and Sun Si also laughed and earned." ”

"Luo Ling Pill?" His Royal Highness all gasped when he heard this, this is a treasure that helps people enter the Shezun realm, so this altar of drunken immortal drink is more than enough for a Luo Ling Pill, I didn't expect that Xiao Qiong of this year's martial arts meeting would have such a big deal.

Seeing everyone's surprised looks, Xiao Qiong was even more vigorous, "This drunken immortal drink Xiao also spent a lot of money to buy only two altars, and some time ago he dedicated one of them to the Beizhu Mansion, and originally wanted to leave this altar to drink with everyone today, but there are few people with less wine, so he simply cheapened the juniors who won the championship." ”

Xiao Qiong's words fell, and most of the people in charge of the family had their eyes shining, if the drunken immortal drink could really be exchanged for two Luo Ling Pills, then no matter who got it, I was afraid that it would not take a year to stand out in this Moji City. The name of the medicine king has been resounding in northern Xinjiang for many years, this person is not only advanced in cultivation, but the pharmaceutical skills are second to none in the Eastern Jingguo, but his personality is strange, and wanting to get a pill from his hand is tantamount to the difficulty of ascending to the sky, but with this drunken immortal drink, the situation is different.

"Lu Yun. Xiao Qiong looked at His Royal Highness's heads of the family and whispered, obviously having a great interest in this drunken immortal drink, which was also in line with his heart, "Please draw lots for the principals and prepare for the martial arts meeting." ”

"Yes!" The sturdy man who was the first to come out of the queue stepped into His Highness and said in a clear voice: "All the patriarchs, the head of the family, please draw lots to determine the order. With that, he took out a bamboo tube with more than a dozen sticks stuck in it. All the heads of the family gathered around Lu Yun, just waiting for the lottery.

The three brothers of Song Yan and the three clan elders, the guard commander Song Yi, and the seven of them stood together, and one of the clan elders said in a low voice: "Song Yan, you will draw this lot." Song Yan looked around, except for the Qin, Meng, and Ning families, the others were all slightly weaker families, and among the three families, the Qin family was the most.

"Please draw lots for Lord Songzhuang. After the three families of Qin, Meng, and Ning smoked, Lu Yun came to Song Yan's side with a kind smile on his face.

Song Yan bowed his hand to Lu Yun, and then drew a bamboo stick in the bamboo tube, Lu Yun bowed his head and signaled, and then went to let others draw lots. After everyone had drawn, Lu Yunlang said: "Everyone, there are numbers on the sign, and the same is a group." ”

"Three. ”

"Five. ”

"II. ”

Everyone read out the signature number in their hands, Song Yan looked down, a red lacquered "five" character was printed on the sign, followed the sound to find it, but it was Meng Xianchong, the patriarch of the Meng family, the old man was full of interest with the bamboo stick in his hand, and he was also looking for the opponent, Song Yan raised the bamboo stick in his hand slightly, Meng Xianchong couldn't help frowning, this is really not a family that does not gather.
