"Yanagi-sama arrives at ......"

As soon as the three of them entered the banquet, Jia Qi shouted with a voice, and when they heard Jia Qi's voice, the three of them all stood up and walked to the door to greet each other.

Liu Fan also changed into a white brocade robe, and slowly walked to the hall under the guidance of the maidservant, looking indifferent, but with a condescending attitude. Behind the willow fan is an old man, if Wang Qian is here, you will find that this person is the strong man you see during the day.

"I've seen Lord Yanagi......"

"I've seen Lord Yanagi......"

......

The three of them all said in unison, as for the old man standing beside Liu Fan, the tortoise directly ignored it, and even the city lords of the eastern and western cities didn't care too much.

"Well, let's take a seat...... Liu Fan just nodded lightly in response, and then turned his head to the old man beside him respectfully and said, "Master, please ......"

Liu Fan's sudden attitude surprised the three of them, it turned out that the old man next to him was Lord Liu Fan's master, what did that mean?

The three of them are all active, Lord Liu's status is very special in Xiang County, even the county lieutenant of Xiang County has to serve carefully, originally the main city election below can be handed over to the county lieutenant to preside, but he did not do so.

So the three of them are a little puzzled, but these reasons are no longer important, in the face of the main city election, how to behave is the most important thing.

"Hmm......" The old man nodded, ignoring the expressions of the others, and after walking to the main seat and sitting down, he closed his eyes and closed his eyes.

"This ......" Seeing the old man like this, the tortoise was also a little puzzled, but at this time, Liu Fan waved his hand and said, "Don't pay attention to it, sit down." ”

The three of them sat down in turn, and all the delicacies were served on the table, all of which were full of color and flavor, but no one raised their chopsticks. As for the old man next to Lord Liu, he didn't even open his eyes, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

"Three adults, tomorrow is the day of the campaign for the main city, about the melee, the specific rules are no different from previous years, however, the results of this election will be divided into three rounds. Liu Fan glanced at the three of them and said calmly.

Hearing Liu Fan's words, the three of them all looked at each other, even Duan Youshen and Rong Le, who came with Liu Fan, were also a little surprised, and the tortoise frowned and said, "Lord Liu, in previous years, it was two rounds, why did you ...... this year?"

In previous years, the battle for the main city was indeed two rounds, one was a scuffle between the forces below, and the other was a contest between the city lords, two by two, as for the result, as well as the ownership of the lord of the main city, it was judged by the number of victories.

Liu Fan nodded and continued: "That's right, the third game of this year, the venue is arranged in the Misty Forest......"

"What?Misty Forest?" The faces of the three of them changed drastically, if it was somewhere else, it would be fine, but the Misty Forest......

As if guessing the thoughts of the three of them, Liu Fan explained unhurriedly: "That's right, it's in the Misty Forest, but don't worry, as for the location map of the Misty Forest, I will send it to you when the time comes." ”

"I hope you all try your best to do things for the sect, I don't care about how you arrange between you, but if I find out that someone has done something disrespectful to the sect, I think you must know the consequences. Liu Fan continued.

Feeling the coldness in Liu Fan's tone, the three of them all felt a pressure, although it seemed that the strength of Lord Liu in front of them was not much different from theirs.

"May I ask Lord Liu, what is the content of the third match?" Rong Le asked as he stood up and clenched his fists.

Liu Fan waved his hand and motioned for Rong Le to sit down, "You don't have to be nervous, I will tell you the content of the third game after the results of the first two games come out, don't worry, the third game will be good for you." ”

......

In this way, knowing that the feast was over, the three of them returned to their lodgings with apprehension and doubt.

"Master, in the third game, what if they swallow something privately?" After returning to the residence, Liu Fan came to his master's room. Regarding the addition of the third round of competition, Liu Fan also had some doubts in his heart.

Hearing Liu Fan's doubts, the old man's indifferent expression finally smiled slightly, waved his hand, and motioned for Liu Fan to sit down and said: "Apprentice, compared to these three city lords, you are still too tender, these three people, none of them are simple......"

For the old man who said that he was tender, Liu Fan did not like it in the slightest, but humbly asked: "The apprentice is stupid, and I ask the master to teach ......."

The old man shook his head and didn't care, "You don't have to be presumptuous, compared to those senior brothers and junior brothers of yours, you are definitely not bad, but the flowers in the greenhouse are always unable to withstand the storm, which is why I let you come to the mortal city to experience." ”

"As a disciple of the Shushan Sword Sect, you must not only excel in cultivation, but also be stronger than others here. The old man pointed to his head.

Liu Fan nodded, and he also understood why when he first entered the Shushan Sword Sect, the master let him enter the mortal city to practice, just to exercise his mind.

So over the years, he has been staying in the mortal city, but even so, his cultivation has never been delayed, and the master will bring him some cultivation resources every year. It can be said that over the years, his heart and cultivation have not been delayed on both sides.

Seeing that Liu Fan understood what he meant, the old man was also very satisfied, "These three city lords are all cunning, don't look at their appearance as if they are very harmonious on the surface, in fact, they are thinking about how to calculate each other anytime and anywhere, this is willfulness, for the sake of profit." ”

"Interests?" Liu Fan frowned, but quickly figured out the benefits.

"Master is clever, although there are good things in the Misty Forest, they will definitely spare no effort for the battle of the main city, after all, they will get more benefits in the main city. Liu Fan immediately analyzed it.

The old man nodded, and he was also very satisfied with Liu Fan's analysis, and he continued: "You are right, in exchange for small interests for big interests, the three of them will always know how to choose." Besides, aren't the people chosen in this way exactly what we want?"

Liu Fan suddenly realized, and immediately figured out the involvement and interests involved.

......

"City Lord, you say, why is this year's election going to be three rounds, will it be bad for us?" As soon as the tortoise returned to the study, Jia Qi wondered.

The tortoise groaned slightly, then shook his head and said: "They have their own ideas, but there are still policies and countermeasures, we don't have to worry about this matter, Misty City is our home field after all, as for the Misty Forest, I also have some understanding, I think it should be the two of them who should be worried, hehe......"

When Rong Le and Duan Youshen returned to the post station, they went out alone, except for Duan Youshen, the others were Purong soldiers, Rong Le didn't spend much effort, he went out, even Duan Youshen didn't find out.

Yunlai Inn, according to Hua Nong and Qitai, the third strong man in Xicheng's net lives here, and Rong Le found this inn after just a little inquiry.

At this time, Wang Qian was cultivating, and he immediately noticed Rong Le's arrival. I soon understood that this person was the person standing next to Liu Fan during the day, and I didn't know what this person was doing here.

After Rong Le entered the inn, he walked directly towards Wangqian's room. Wangqian frowned, "What is he here for?"

Although Wang Qian had been in contact with Hua Nong and Qitai, he was not familiar with the Lord of the West City, and at this time, Rong Le had already knocked on the door: "Senior, with Rong Le in the Lower West City, I have come to ask to see ......"

Wang Qian soothed his brows and said calmly, "Come in......"

Hearing the self-introduction of the visitor, Wangqian also knew the identity of the other party, Rong Le, who was the city lord of Xicheng, and Hua Nong had mentioned it to him before.

Rong Le was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart what a young voice...... But he didn't think much of it, and pushed the door open.
