Inside the Sunset Fort.

"What do you think?"

Noh sat down in his chair with his eyes closed, and changed into a dry white shirt, if it weren't for this gray hair, he wouldn't have seen that he was almost fifty and a half years old.

"You know Mo Lan better than me, just a poisonous snake, after so many years, he still can't change his nature, and he doesn't shed tears when he sees a coffin. ”

Adam took off the iron box behind his back, put it on the ground casually, and shook the ground three times, he took off his wet armor and clothes, and looked thin, but in fact, his muscles were prominent, like a stone carving, and the scars were all over the place, the most terrible was the knife wound from the throat to the lower abdomen, like a long centipede, hideous and dazzling.

"Then I want to ask you, there are 30,000 troops in Sunset City, what qualifications does he have to fight against my 200,000 soldiers and horses, Mo Lan knows the current affairs best, it is impossible for him not to understand the current situation, this move of the royal family is tantamount to declaring war on us, my Nuo family guards the northern border, and there are countless vassals under my command, if you really want to talk about it, the royal power is just child's play in front of you and me, how can you affirm Mo Lan's position?"

"I'm most tired of you asking knowingly like this, the 200,000 soldiers and the Nuo family only account for 100,000, and the remaining 100,000 are all foreigners, what do you use to guarantee their loyalty, the covenant of the year? Don't forget, Ye Bei is not a tyrant, he is a generation of Ming monarchs, otherwise Lord Nolan would not have supported him as a monarch back then, our move is tantamount to rebellion, on the surface, the northern border respects the Nuo family, but what about in private?"

Adam did not shy away from changing his clothes in front of him, and carried the heavy iron box behind his back again.

"Then wait for them to jump out on their own, and then they can rest assured, let's go, after preparing for so long, it's time to go and see this show. ”

Noch sneered twice and walked out of the house, he was really looking forward to what kind of wonderful performance there would be tonight.

......

The rain did not stop at all, and as the night fell, it became heavier and more urgent, the wind howled like a woman crying in her ears, and the water of the moat gradually overflowed the stone bridge, and the ground was completely covered with water, and the water would reach the ankles when you stepped on it.

The banquet was held in the Winter Moon Castle on the left side of Sunset Castle, and the servants and maids held trays in their hands, crystal clear ale and bright red wine, freshly roasted mutton, and candlelight lit up the entire hall, dispelling the cold, and there was a cheerful atmosphere everywhere.

Melodious music drowned out the sound of wind and rain, keeping everything out of the Winter Moon Castle, and both the guests and the Mo family were enjoying the wine and food, and the roaring fire in the fireplace made the hall even more stuffy.

It must be said that the banquet has been very satisfying so far, every dish is delicate and small, and if you don't get the first time, you will soon be eaten up, and the music is so beautiful that even a picky person like Lady Elsie is sipping wine, eating the food in front of him, and reveling in the music.

In such an atmosphere, there were three people who seemed out of place, Noch and Adam didn't even touch the knife and fork, just sat quietly in their seats, didn't drink or eat, they had no interest in the meal, they just wanted to see what Moran was going to do.

There is another person who is Mo Nan, he saw that it was empty at the moment, and he had no intention of staying here, so he walked up to Mo Lan and said, "Father, can I bring the bell over, she hasn't eaten yet." ”

Moran glanced at him and took a slow sip of wine, "What, do you like her?"

"I don't like it, after all, I've only known each other for a long time. ”

Mo Nan's face froze, and he laughed dryly, as the son of the Mo family, if nothing else, he will inherit the title and fief in the future, it is difficult to make his own decisions about marriage and childbirth, and he pays attention to a right person, many marriage contracts have been pushed away by him for various reasons, and Mo Lan is already very dissatisfied.

"It's good that you know, it's normal to like beautiful women, I was also a hot head when I was young, and I dared to do anything for the woman I liked, but in the end I still married your mother, it doesn't matter if you like her, first make a marriage agreement, after getting married, you can like whoever you like, even if you have a few illegitimate children, it's just a bit of a tongue. ”

Moran doesn't care who he likes, he only cares about the interests of the family, marriage is the strongest covenant of each family, set the wife first, and then no matter how many women there are, it is a matter of personal style, and it will not affect anything.

"If you really like her, don't go to her, besides, as the next generation of Sunset Castle heirs, you will leave the table before the banquet begins, what do you look like, sit down for me. Moran said meaningfully, his thin hand tapping lightly on the table.

Mo Nan didn't dare to refute, so he could only sit down, thinking about how to apologize to Ling later.

"Lord Nohe, Vada has long heard of the prestige of your Ice Plains Sword Hero, and when I see it today, I really have an extraordinary temperament, but Vada thinks that he is also a good sword player, and I want to ask you for a few tricks, I don't know if you will appreciate your face?"

The rough voice drowned out the music, and everyone looked sideways, and the man who spoke was eight feet tall, a circle larger than Sir Dain, with broad shoulders, thick arms like small tree trunks, and bulging muscles, standing in the crowd like a giant, two or three heads taller than others, holding a wine glass the size of a man's head, and gulping ale, but not showing the slightest drunkenness.

This giant is none other than the Mo family's chief guard, Wada, who is famous in Sunset City for his tall stature and unrivaled ferocity, he was born as a poor man, because of the debts owed by his parents, he was sold as slaves in the gladiatorial arena, and won tens of thousands of leaf gold for his master with a complete victory.

But when he was nearly hanged for killing a nobleman by mistake, he was rescued by Moran, who took a fancy to the potential of the big man, recruited him, gave him the best food and weapons, appointed him chief of the guard, and did not hesitate to grant him the way of spiritual martial arts.

Even when he participated in the banquet, he was wearing chain mail and leather armor, others were afraid of the Ice Plains Sword Hero, but he didn't, he was very curious, obviously he was just a small man, why did he have such a big reputation.

"Vada, don't be overwhelmed, how can you challenge the Ice Plains Sword Hero, don't look at your tall looks, I don't think you can even catch a sword, or drink your bar with peace of mind." ”

Mo Xun smiled while hugging the woman next to him, his words were just to provoke Wada, the more angry he was, the better, you must know that this big man's talent in spiritual martial arts is not weak, in just two or three years of kung fu, he has gone from forging his heart to burning his bones, and this person has no mercy in his shot, either death or injury.

"Wada, don't pick this time, Lord Nohe is running all the way, you are tired, you should win, and you are not victorious if you lose, you are asking for infamy. ”

Although Moran's voice was soft, the musician stopped playing when he spoke, and the dancer stopped, and the hall was silent for an instant, and everyone heard this sentence clearly, and they all looked at Nohe, wanting to see how the Ice Plains swordsman responded.

"Hmph, Lord Moran's words are not to be heard, why should Lord Nohe make a move, and let me, an old man, come and learn how about it?" Dane kicked away the chair and stood up to do it, mocking Nohe like this can endure, he can't bear it.

Elsie frowned slightly, she didn't understand what Moran meant by this, she gently squeezed Jos's hand, shook her head at him and said, "What are you drunk, sit down." ”

"I'll be able to knock down this big man with another bucket, Dane, sit down and let me come!"

Jos shouted a little unconsciously, he did drink too much, he wanted to draw his sword but couldn't see where the hilt was, these people in front of him were ghosting in his eyes, let alone fighting, I was afraid it would be difficult to stand up and walk two steps.

"I don't hit old people. ”

Vada Urn walked up to Dane angrily, put down the wine glass in his hand, stretched out his hand and pressed him directly back into the chair, and turned to look at Nohe who was sitting with his eyes closed, this old man was very powerful, but he couldn't get into his eyes.

Dane laughed angrily and drew his sword, but was stopped by Nohe, who turned his head to look at Noch in amazement.

"Your name is Vada, right? Since you have heard my name, you should know that there is no living person under my sword, and if you really want me to give you advice, you should be ready to die, so are you ready?"

As soon as Nohe's words came out, everyone in the audience changed their faces, and now they are still holding a banquet, saying such things in front of Moran is tantamount to not taking their Mo family in their eyes at all.

But Vada didn't say anything about it, he was originally from the gladiatorial arena, and in his opinion, he should be ready to die if he made a move, he grinned and beckoned to the guards beside him.

The two-handed sword made of steel is six feet long, and it was carried by three guards, it looks like a small door panel, and it is taller than a person when it is placed vertically, let alone an ordinary person, I am afraid that it will not be able to lift it, just by looking at the expressions of the three guards, you can know how heavy it is.

"Vada is not afraid of death and is ready. ”

Vada grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands and lifted it up with a little force, the other man was already tall, and the length of the sword almost knocked the ceiling off the top with this swing.

"Lord Nohe, please forgive Wada for his rudeness, he is a martial idiot, and he can't help but see a strong man, I hope you can show mercy. Moran said with a dry smile.

"Father, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to use force at the banquet, but ...... you are"

Mo Nan looked at his father puzzled, although he also wanted to see Nohe's swordsmanship, but after all, the banquet was still going on, in case he saw blood, I was afraid that it would be unruly, and no matter how powerful Vada was, how could he defeat the Ice Plains Sword Hao, he could only bring humiliation on himself, and the Mo family's face would not look good at that time.

"More than ten years have passed, I don't know if the Ice Wolf Sword is as sharp as it was at the beginning, if Vada is defeated, please ask Lord Nohe's men to show mercy, don't hurt his life. Moran ignored him, and emphasized it again.
