Chapter 0078
Surrounded by his personal guards, the prefect came to the center of the square on a tall horse. Seeing the crowds of martial arts boys below, I am quite satisfied.
"Everyone, I'm here to welcome everyone; secondly, to cheer you up and be strong. Your visit to Chimu King's Land represents not only individuals and your families, but also your prefecture and county, and the future of our Nanyun Prefecture. I want to show my sincerity. Wutong from other counties can stay in any inn during their stay in Nanyun Prefecture for the next three days, with free board and lodging, and state subsidies!"
Anyone who can come here to sign up for the trial is not from aristocratic background. It is said that everyone can afford the cost of board and lodging.
But the prefect's words mean more than just a little board and lodging expenses.
That represents a kind of attention, a kind of treatment that only top-rank Wutong can enjoy.
When the chief comes, it is natural that there must be a lecture and an encouragement. All the martial arts boys nodded their heads repeatedly, and they all felt that the magistrate attached so much importance to it, how could there be any reason for unremitting efforts?
Finally, the prefect's speech was over, and it was time for lunch. Disband on the spot.
As soon as the disbandment was announced, martial arts boys from various counties invited friends and companions, and began to form groups.
Qin Wushuang didn't want to involve too much right and wrong, on this point, Da Xiyang and him were in the same mind.
Yun Qingyan likes to be lively, but she has no choice but to obey the majority.
...
After lunch, the three of them went back to their rooms, but they lived in peace.
Suddenly there were footsteps, and then there was a knock on the door: "Excuse me, is Mr. Qin of Luojiang County there?"
When the door was opened, there was a man who looked like a servant standing outside the door, with a respectful expression, and asked with a smile, "Master Qin?"
"It's me, are you?"
"The villain is the steward of the Great Clan of Ximen. Here is an invitation card, which was written by the lord of my family himself. I asked the villain to send it to Mr. Qin. I invite you to come to our residence to drink and listen to plays, so that we can spend the summer heat away together."
After speaking, he respectfully handed over a beautifully packaged invitation card.
Qin Wushuang's expression was indifferent, without even glancing at him, he said calmly, "Take it back."
"Take it back?" The servant was stunned.
"Yes, take it back."
"Mr. Qin, are you going or not? You have to take it and have a look?"
Qin Wushuang turned around and asked, "Is it the Ximen faction who wants to see me?"
"Yeah, that's what my lord means."
"Isn't it that I want to see the Ximen boss?"
"No." The man was taken aback for a moment, but still answered truthfully.
"Since it's not me who wants to see him, but he wants to see me. Either he comes to visit me, or at least he has to invite me in person. You can reply to your lord according to what I want."
Qin Wushuang didn't bother to chatter with his servants either. The Ximen Clan Master was playing tricks and sent a servant to invite someone. It was obvious that he deliberately lowered Qin Wushuang's stature, so Qin Wushuang was willing to go.
The family Ding was stunned for a moment, and had no choice but to withdraw respectfully: "So, the villain will go back to the lord, and ask him to show me."
...
In the mansion of the great lord of Ximen, the servant quickly brought back Qin Wushuang's intentions.
The master of the Ximen family has a purple beard, which looks extraordinary. Beside him, stood eight people. The four on the left are his direct descendants, the four on the right, two are the grand elders of Ximen lords, and the remaining two are gold medal fighters, the number one and number two of the Thirteen Cold-Blooded Eagles.
On the side of the direct descendants, Ximen Qian is the oldest, with a slightly distorted face, and said in a hateful voice: "This kid is still so good at showing off."
Then he turned his head and said to Ximen Xing who was behind him: "Third brother, in the central square today, this guy is deliberately showing off again?"
Ximen Xing smiled wryly and said, "I can't see the intentional showmanship, but that kid's aura is indeed very strong."
Ximenyan on the side complained: "Brother, third brother, I'm not interested in this Qin Wushuang or anything. I just want to know, is the daughter of the wealthy Qin family really close to Da Ximing?"
Ximen Xing can't answer this question. Ximen Qian added fuel to the fire and said: "Isn't it very close? We are a couple, and we simply treat us Ximen as nothing."
Ximen Qian's exaggeration meant to provoke Ximen Yan. To instigate Ximenyan can arouse father's emotions. Because the father has always doted on the second sister.
Ximenyan shook her father's arm as expected: "Father, this marriage was made by you and Daxi Heng personally. Now the Daxi family clearly wants to renege on the debt, what do you think should be done?"
The master of the Ximen Great Valve, his name is Ximenyu. He became famous at a young age, joined the army in his early years, and made great military exploits. In the selection of the family, he defeated the heroes and won the succession of the lord.
Taking over the Ximen Great Clan for 24 years, he made the Ximen Great Clan flourish and was promoted to the ranks of the "Twelve Great Clans" in the country.
Such a heroic figure would naturally not be disturbed by the state of his children.
After pondering for a moment, he asked: "The two elders and the two protectors. Although this son is young, he knows how to advance and retreat. He knows that I sent someone to invite him, and he wants to join his army. He wants me to invite him personally, and then joins me in the army. What do you think, should I go to see him? Or not?"
"Think twice, the lord. He is just a young man from a wealthy family. Even if he encounters some adventures, he is not qualified to put on airs in front of the lord. If the lord really wants to see him, it would be enough to save face by asking the next generation to invite him."
"This old man agrees with the Great Elder's opinion. There is no precedent for a big boss to meet a rich boy. If it spreads out, I might lose face as a big boss."
This is the direct elder of the Ximen clan, with traditional and conservative thinking, self-styled, and attaches great importance to family status.
The head card of the cold-blooded thirteen eagles, that is, the guardian, is an old man with a handsome face, but he smiled and said: "Although the old man has never met the son of the Qin family, but from the information given back by the second brother, this son is worth seeing the boss. If you want to meet, why bother to be obsessed with family status?"
In Ximen Great Clan, the status of the top three cold-blooded thirteen eagles is very clear, and they can sit on an equal footing with the elders of the family. Therefore, when the Great Protector speaks, he does not have to deliberately go along with the elders of the family, but is qualified to speak out.
The second protector next to him had dealt with Qin Wushuang in Luojiang County back then, and had seen Qin Wushuang's methods. With his eighth-rank True Martial Realm strength, he did not dare to say he won. The information he gave back was very cautious.
Hearing what the Great Protector said at this time, he nodded in agreement.
Ximen Yu stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "The two elders insist on seeing each other, and the two protectors advocate eclecticism. Each has its own reasons, and this is very difficult."
The four people hurriedly said: "Everything is up to the lord to decide."
"Let me judge?" Ximenyu repeated with a smile.
"The lord is the speaker of my great lord, Ximen, and I will have no objection." The four hurriedly expressed their opinions.
"Okay, since that's the case, then the lord will go meet the son of the Qin family to see how evil Luojiang County is."
Ximen Qian and Ximen Yan were overjoyed when they heard that their father was on the job.
Especially Ximen Yan, shouted: "Father, teach that kid a lesson. Let him know who is the authority in Nanyun Prefecture."
Ximenyu smiled and left without answering.
Quietly, they arrived at the inn where Qin Wushuang was staying, and as they turned around the corridor, they suddenly saw a young man standing in the courtyard, staring intently at the rockery fountain in the courtyard.
"Lord Ximen?" the young man said leisurely, it was Qin Wushuang.
"Qin Wushuang?" Ximen Yu was taken aback. Before he turned around the corridor, he didn't even notice that there were people standing in the courtyard.
If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, it would be hard for him to believe that this son of the Qin family has practiced to such an extent.
In layman's terms, it means that he has completely integrated into the environment where he stands, with no self and nothing, and man and nature have become the same part of the landscape.
You must know that Ximenyu is one of the few masters in the Chimu King's Land, a real martial arts level 9 powerhouse, and in the Chimu King's Land, the number of people who dare to say that he can beat him is definitely no more than a finger.
But such a big master didn't have any warning in advance.
"I've been waiting for you for a while." Qin Wushuang spoke again.
"You know I'm coming?" Ximenyu felt that the first step was at a disadvantage, and the second and third steps were taken by the opponent.
"You will definitely come." Qin Wushuang suddenly smiled mysteriously, flipped his body like a swallow, and said softly, "Follow me."
When the voice fell, the person had fallen outside the courtyard wall, and Hongfei was in the dark.
