Chapter Seventy-Four: The Night Banquet in the Courtyard
In the afternoon of the next day, a piece of news that shook Wuzhou spread all over the city: Liu Changqing went and returned, taking the Qingxuanyu Sword from the Bai family.
When Tong Meng got this disappearance, he was feasting with the state minister Bu Yunsheng, and he was also quite surprised, and he couldn't help but think a lot more highly of Liu Changqing. At his level, his desire for power is even greater than his pursuit of weapons and personal force. But he attaches great importance to talents, and "people" are his capital at the top of power.
Just like the sects that helped him entertain the sects that were interested in making friends in the past two days, Bu Yunsheng, the state minister who was staggering with the representatives of various sects, was single-handedly pulled up by him. The state minister is an official position above 10,000 people under one person in each city-state, and Bu Yunsheng, who is brilliant and intelligent, is definitely worthy of this position.
The Bu family used to be only a third-rate family, and the previous head of the family showed his foresight when Tong Meng rode to Wuzhou and ran into walls everywhere, and supported the city lord without hesitation, helping him build an army and collect talents to achieve his current status step by step. The Bu family has long sworn to attach themselves to Tong Meng, and it is his absolute trust and help. At the same time, the Bu family also brought brilliance, although it is not comparable to the heritage of the five major families, but it can also be among the first-class families.
Bu Yunsheng is the head of the new generation of the family, he is not good at cultivation, although it is the cultivation of the foundation building period, but he can make the entire Bu family obey. His intelligence is definitely a top figure in Wuzhou City, and he is known as a "double unique" with Qiu Shuduan, the core figure of the mercenary group. But as Tong Meng's confidant, he controls political affairs at all levels in Wuzhou, and has jurisdiction over tens of thousands of officials, how can his power be compared with that of the mercenary group.
For this kind of talent, Tong Meng will never hesitate to reward him, and it is reasonable for Bu Yunsheng to use loyalty and talent in exchange for making the Bu family prosperous. The same is true for Liu Changqing, if he can win it over, Tong Meng's armed forces will also be strengthened. Therefore, when he got the news, he behaved differently from other wealthy clans, but he only sent more people to find Liu Changqing.
And in the city-state, many sects are preparing to set off, and they are not without shock when they hear the news, and they all guess that in Liu Changqing's style, once the treasure is in hand, they must be ready to leave Wuzhou. They have sent people back to the sect to report quickly, so as to arrange for the masters to chase and intercept them, in case they win the fairy sword, it is definitely a great achievement.
The major wealthy families are also about the same, and if they can't win over, they can find ways to win Qingxuan, and they have increased their search efforts.
For a while, many cultivators rushed out of the city.
Twilight was not seriously injured, but her body was weak. Two more masters healed their wounds, and by the evening of the third day, they had no more pain. After staying in the house for two days, he let Bai Ramie walk around the small courtyard, seeing that this courtyard is still small and exquisite, but far less luxurious than that of ordinary families, he said to Bai Ramie: "This Yang family is extraordinary, but the house is so simple and unpretentious, and the door style is very good." ”
Bai Liluo's originally sad pretty face smiled when she heard this, and said, "When Senior Lu healed you, Master was also very curious, so he inquired about the strength of the Yang family and how many people there were. Senior Na Lu said that except for the head of the Yang family, there are no bloodline clansmen. ”
She laughed a little again: "Second uncle, are you funny, isn't it? It's the first time I've seen such a family, and I can't call it a family." ”
Bai Duyun was stunned, he thought that he dared to save the two of them without fear of being enemies with many families in this situation, and the family background must be extraordinary, and the Yang family master was a dumbfounder. But thinking about it in a blink of an eye, if Lu Baichuan can be called a brother and sister with a proud person like Liu Changqing, he must be very strong, and he is definitely not an idle person. With such a master in charge, the head of the Yang family will not be so simple.
While thinking about it, Hua Mingzhu came and saw that Bai Duyun had risen, so he told the young master that he had prepared a thin wine and invited his uncle and nephew to go.
Twilight didn't shirk and went with her.
Bai Ramie and Hua Mingzhu had a previous grudge, and they were very embarrassed, and they didn't say anything all the way. However, Bai Duyun has an instinctive perception of martial artists, and he sees that this Hua Mingzhu is very extraordinary, but he has no spiritual power and cannot detect it. asked him about his cultivation, Hua Mingzhu was not deeply involved in the world, and there was no city government, so he told the truth.
I heard that she was close to building the foundation, and she had not been practicing for more than a few months. Bai Duyun was very surprised, and Bai Liluo was also very surprised, and when she first met, she also ridiculed several teenagers as mountain village husbands. I don't think about it, people just don't cultivate as well as themselves, but the cultivation time is so short, and their talents are only stronger than themselves.
When the three of them came to the small courtyard of Yang Cheng, they heard Yang Cheng's flattering voice: "Brother Liu, it has spread all over this city, you broke into the Bai family alone to win the Qingxuan Sword, and left calmly." I've only seen this kind of plot in novels, I really don't know how to describe it, in short, it's awesome!"
How many people on the rivers and lakes are talking about Liu Changqing, he doesn't want to see them. The head of this small family is familiar with him, Liu Changqing doesn't like to deal with it: "You and I are not familiar with each other, and it is not my turn to be called a brother." ”
Yang Cheng sneered and said, "Look at what you said, do I want to call you Lao Liu?
Next to him, Lu Baichuan's cheeks twitched, and Liu Changqing also glanced at him.
Mei Yuchen at the table next to him said with interest: "Brother Cheng, what does this 'novel' mean?"
Yang Cheng said proudly: "I said that you are all one by one, you haven't seen it." Don't look at the fact that you are all higher than me, but I know more than you. Novels record a lot of interesting stories, or anecdotes about the rivers and lakes, past history, world affairs, etc. He also said: "I have to say that there is a lack of entertainment now, it doesn't matter, it won't be long before I let you see and enrich your spiritual world." ”
Several teenagers shouted loudly, although they didn't know what the "spiritual world" was, but what Brother Cheng made up must be interesting. Even Liu Changqing couldn't help but be a little interested, and was about to ask, when he saw Bai Duyun's uncle and nephew come in.
The courtyard is hung with lighting beads, bright as day, and two tables of wine and food are placed in the courtyard. Yang Liulu and the three of them had been waiting for a long time, just waiting for Bai Duyun to take a seat. There is a table for four people, and the other table is composed of Bai Ramie, Hua Mingzhu and four teenagers.
Li Tianxing has a bold personality, does not remember old grudges, and pities the experience of Bai Ramie. took the initiative to greet Bai Ramie, and the rest of the people also introduced each other, and in a moment several young boys and girls gradually disappeared and laughed.
The four of them didn't care about those children, Yang Cheng got up and poured the wine, and then started chatting with the three of them and drinking.
Originally, the three of them were worried that Bai Duyun would fall to the mortal dust overnight, and they were in a bad mood, so they didn't dare to laugh. Who knew that Bai Duyun was frank and swaying, chatting with everyone about the rivers and lakes, and Hao didn't care about his situation. couldn't help but make the other three admire, and after three rounds of drinking, they became acquainted.
The wine is rice wine, Lu Baichuan saw that Bai Duyun had a different face after drinking a few glasses, knowing that he had no spiritual power and weak resistance to alcohol, so he asked: "Brother Bai, according to what you said, your cultivation has been devoured by that demonic skill." That magic skill is so terrifying, it's unheard of?"
"Exactly, when I hit that demon master hard, he also slapped me, except for the dissipation of spiritual power, there was no harm, it was very weird. I also wanted to cultivate from scratch, but every time I absorbed the aura, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and I couldn't find it again. It's as if there's a bottomless pit in my body that is constantly draining my spiritual power. At the beginning, my spiritual power was magnificent, and it took half a month to dissipate. Now absorbing spiritual power is far less rapid than dissipating. I tried many times to no avail, so I simply stopped cultivating. ”
