Chapter 12: The Banquet

No one came to disturb him, Li Mubai slept until the evening, and then found himself sleeping in the bathtub.

Li Mubai couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's good that you know martial arts, otherwise you will fall asleep like this, and you won't catch a cold! And the vigilance is too bad, you must pay attention next time." ”

There is no vigilance in walking on the rivers and lakes, and I don't know how to die, although there is a reason for physical fatigue, but Li Mubai still self-reflected, the enemy will not kill you because you are tired.

"It's all this time! Then we have to hurry, and there are rewards for the competition!" Li Mubai looked at the sky, realized that it was late, and quickly packed himself.

touched the wound on his body, not only was it already scarred, but it was no longer painful, so Li Mubai had to sigh: Internal strength is really a necessary skill for home travel, killing people and setting fires.

After cleaning up, Li Mubai came to the next door and knocked on the door, but no one responded.

"This dead fat man doesn't know where he ran again!" Li Mubai muttered, and then went downstairs directly and rushed to the City Lord's Mansion alone.

When he came to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, the family stopped Li Mubai and asked politely, "Is the young man here to participate in the martial arts banquet?"

"That's right. ”

"Then please come here to verify your identity!"

Before, Li Mubai was still strange that the people in the City Lord's Mansion were not afraid of unrelated people mixing in, or they were very confident in their own strength and didn't care, but they didn't expect to verify their identities.

What Jia Ding was holding in his hand was obviously the information registered when he signed up before, and after asking a few questions, he let Li Mubai in.

A family member led the way, and Li Mubai followed him and looked around, wanting to see what was different about the city lord's mansion.

After Li Mubai arrived in the hall, he found that many people had already come, chatting in groups. He looked left and right for a while, and found that Fat Lu hadn't come yet, and he didn't know anyone here, so he found a corner where no one was there and sat alone.

"I knew I was stepping on the point! I sat like a fool. Li Mubai complained in a low voice.

"It's stupid. A female voice came from the side.

Li Mubai followed the prestige, and saw a girl not far from him standing slim, wearing a goose-yellow gauze skirt, her hair pulled up, revealing a slender white neck, delicate facial features, and a trace of childishness on her face.

Without waiting for Li Mubai to speak, the girl asked curiously, "You are the first name of this martial arts banquet?"

"Yes," Li Mubai replied, and then asked suspiciously, "Does the girl know me?"

The girl didn't answer and asked, "You don't know me?"

Li Mubai only felt inexplicable, he had never seen her before!

Wait, is it Shangguan Bai who knows her? Is it Shangguan Bai's childhood sweetheart or something?

Thinking of this, Li Mubai tried hard to recall Shangguan Bai's memory, but then he still didn't find it.

The girl looked at Li Mubai meditating there, her face was entangled, and she felt very interesting.

The girl smiled and said, "You don't have to think about it, you've seen me once, and it's not strange if you don't know me." ”

Li Mubai let out a long sigh of relief, fortunately the thing he was worried about did not happen, otherwise he would have been embarrassed.

"I don't know what's wrong with the girl?" asked Li Mubai.

The girl replied, "It's nothing, I just heard that you are the first name, so I came and saw how you were." ”

This reason is very good and powerful, Li Mubai said helplessly: "That's it?"

"yes, otherwise what else do you think?" the girl winked playfully.

"Well, it's nothing!" Li Mubai said dryly.

It's impossible to say that you came to talk to me because I was handsome, right, then I wasn't killed, even if it was true, I couldn't say it, otherwise it wasn't the rhythm of the lonely life?

"People have seen it, so I'll go first. After saying that, the girl turned around and walked out, and as soon as she walked to the gate, the girl seemed to remember something, turned her head and smiled playfully, and said, "By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Du Mingzhu." ”

Then he waved at Li Mubai and left.

"Du Mingzhu, isn't that the daughter of the city lord?" Li Mubai muttered to himself.

"What are you thinking?" Lu Fatzi saw Li Mubai's thinking look and slapped Li Mubai on the shoulder.

"It's nothing, where did you go, fat man? I didn't see anyone in the inn. "If Li Mubai told Lu Fatzi that he had just met Du Mingzhu and chatted with her, then Fatman Lu wouldn't have to be anxious with him!

Lu Fatzi showed a smile that you know, and then said, "I didn't want to go, they had to pull me there." ”

Li Mubai gave him a look of contempt and slandered in his heart.

You Lu Fat don't want to go, hehe, the sows will go up the tree.

Lu Fatzi continued: "I went to the inn to look for you just now, but I didn't see you, guess you must have come first, so I came over." I'm not an unrighteous person, and I wanted to ask you to play, but aren't you hurt!"

"Thank you for thinking of me!" Li Mubai said angrily.

Lu Fatzi waved his hand: "Xiaobai, there is no need to say thank you for this little thing between us." ”

"Huh. Li Mubai didn't want to say anything more about this.

After a while, Steward Du came to the hall: "Everyone be quiet first, City Lord Du and all the martial arts masters are waiting for you in the banquet hall, and I will lead you over." ”

Follow Steward Du to the banquet hall.

When everyone was seated, Du Zhi Kangdu City Lord stood up from the main seat of the top table, glanced around, and said with a smile: "Welcome to the City Lord's Mansion. ”

Someone below immediately responded: "The city lord is serious, and it is our honor to be able to come to the city lord's mansion." ”

"That's right!"

Lu Fatzi muttered in a low voice: "Hypocrisy, you know how to pat on the back." ”

Du Zhikang pressed his hands downward, and immediately quieted down.

"You are all young heroes in or near my Yangwu City, and they are also the future of Yangwu City, everyone can come here today to give me face, thank you, you must return tonight. ”

There was a roar of applause.

Du Zhikang pointed to the middle of the crowd and continued: "The ring set up in the middle is a place for you to perform martial arts, and we will give you some suggestions." Lao Du, you go and get the reward. ”

"Yes, sir. "Steward Du should be respectful.

"This is going to give out a reward!" Li Mubai couldn't help but light up his eyes.

Lu Fatzi saw Li Mubai's appearance on the side and said, "Xiaobai, is it necessary for you to do this?"

Li Mubai rolled his eyes: "You are a full man who doesn't know that a hungry man is hungry, your family has a big business, of course you don't care, but we ...... You look at them. ”

Lu Fatzi looked around, except for those from the family, everyone else was full of expectations.

"Well, I was wrong. "Fat Lu recognized it very shamefully.

Li Mubai observed it for a moment and said, "Fatty, except for the few major families in Yangwu City who participated in the martial arts banquet this time, no one from the other family sects participated!"

"Indeed, they only participated for the sake of the face of the city lord Du, and the others didn't care, like the thin people, they were not just them, so most of them were casual cultivators. This martial arts banquet is not very attractive to them. Lu Fatzi said.

"City Lord Du's means are good, and all the clans in Yangwu City are respectful. Li Mubai said with emotion.

Lu Fatzi said with a smile: "That is, the cultivation of the realm of Heaven and Man of the City Lord Du, who dares not to give face, in addition to the son of the City Lord Du joined our largest sect in Zhengzhou, the Creation Dao, Miss Du joined the Cangyue Sword Sect, who dares to be disrespectful?"

"I see, in the final analysis, strength is respected, no matter how clever your means are, if you don't have strength, it's rootless duckweed. Li Mubai was stunned.

Lu Fatzi patted Li Mubai on the shoulder and said, "Xiaobai, what you said is very right, only strength is the foundation of everything. ”

At this time, Steward Du walked in with a group of subordinates and handed out the rewards to everyone.

What Lu Fatzi got was a pair of gloves, and it could be seen that they were all weapons issued according to everyone's martial arts.

Sixteen men were given a thousand taels of silver each. Then the top eight get a sharp weapon.

Steward Du said to Li Mubai, Ouyang Lu, Zhang Wenlong and the other top three: "Tomorrow, the three of you will come to the City Lord's Mansion, and the Fire Refining Master will tailor a weapon for you, and the materials will be provided by the City Lord's Mansion." ”

All three nodded in agreement.

After the reward was distributed, Li Mubai asked, "Didn't you say that City Lord Du intends to recruit a fast son-in-law who rides the dragon? Why does it seem that he has no intention at all?"

Lu Fatzi snorted: "Did I say it?"

Li Mubai stared at him deadly, and Lu Fatzi said embarrassedly: "Don't look at me like this, I'm not going to be honest, I originally participated in this martial arts banquet just to join in the fun, but being too bored by one person, I just happened to meet you that day." I see that you have an extraordinary bearing, and I am afraid that you will not agree, so I ...... Hey, hey, hey!"

Li Mubai continued with a black face: "So you lied to me?

Lu Fatzi smiled stupidly: "Little white brother, I didn't mean to deceive you. ”

"Yes, you didn't mean it, you did it on purpose. ”

Hearing the previous sentence, Fat Lu breathed a sigh of relief, and then his heart came up again.

Lu Fatzi explained: "Xiaobai, you see, except for the beginning, I didn't treat you badly later, I didn't say it before because I was afraid of losing you as a friend." These gloves and this thousand taels are all given to you, just because I didn't participate in this martial arts banquet, do you think you think about it?"

Lu Fatzi looked at Li Mubai pitifully.

Li Mubai only felt goosebumps all over his body, and said impatiently: "Okay, forget it this time!"

Li Mubai looked at the gloves in his hand, and he didn't know what kind of material they were made of, they were cold and very tough to handle.

Li Mubai was definitely not bought by gloves and silver, absolutely not!

"That's good, I'll invite you to play in the evening!"

Li Mubai was speechless: "You go by yourself! I won't go." ”

Lu Fatzi didn't force it: "Okay!"

Next, it can be said that the guests and hosts are happy, and there are constantly people on stage to perform martial arts, and those celebrities also give guidance, and the atmosphere is very warm.

Li Mubai kept eating and eating, occasionally watching other people's martial arts, and confirmed it with his own views and the guidance of celebrities.
