Xiao Xingrui threw away the two servants who were supporting him, took a sip of blood on the ground, stared at Ye Dong and said: "You have the guts! Today's shame will not be settled like this!"
"Battle Commander Xiao, it is inevitable that we will have some bumps and bruises in the martial arts competition. Please forgive me. Ye Dong did not know the severity of his attack and accidentally hurt you. Don't worry, our Zhuo family has good elixirs and will definitely help you recover as soon as possible."
Zhuo Zhuo stepped forward as if to break up the fight, but it sounded like a secret mockery.
How could Xiao Xingrui not hear that he came here in good spirits and originally wanted to give the Zhuo family a slap in the face, but he was depressed because the city guard had been ridiculed for many days. Little did he know that if he encountered Ye Dong, a hard nail, he would get slapped one more time instead of slapping others.
Seeing more and more people around him, he didn¡¯t want to stay and make a fool of himself, so he endured the severe pain and walked away.
Suddenly, a person squeezed in from the outside and said in surprise: "Battle Commander Xiao, what happened to you? Why were you injured?"
Zhuo Zhuo turned his gaze to this stranger. He looked familiar, but he couldn't recognize who he was.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of the Zhuo family servant who came in and introduced to Zhuo Zhuo: "The master of the family, who claims to be the lord of Chongmo City, said he came to deliver an invitation, so I brought him to see you."
"Chongmo City? Invitation?"
The visitor came from the City Lord's Mansion. He recognized Xiao Xingrui, but Xiao Xingrui was not impressed by him.
When Xiao Xingrui heard the introduction that he was also from the City Lord's Mansion, he remembered that he had seen this person in Nei Nei, and his ears and neck felt hot. Here, it's okay to be embarrassed in front of the Zhuo family and other outsiders, but he won't come down here for ten or eight years anyway. But being seen by people from the City Lord's Mansion, where should this old face go? If we return to Chongmo City. The other party talked about this scene everywhere, and he was embarrassed in the city guard.
There is another level that worries him. The decree given to him by the City Lord's Mansion is to come down and award the reward, and there is no additional task. The reason why he was making trouble was because he selfishly wanted to beat up the Zhuo family. Once this matter is exposed, I am afraid that I will be punished by military discipline.
"What are you here for?"
"Battal Commander, I am here to deliver an invitation to Master Zhuo at the command of the commander."
"Sending an invitation? What invitation?"
"In order to reward the Zhuo family for their efforts in suppressing thieves, the city lord specially invited the Zhuo family and Ye Dong to Chongmo City to attend the city lord's birthday banquet next month. Therefore, he specially ordered me to deliver the invitations."
¡°What, the city lord¡¯s birthday invitation!¡±
This exclamation was not only made by Xiao Xingrui. There are also Zhuo Zhuo et al.
But unlike Xiao Xingrui, they were ecstatic after a brief exclamation.
An invitation to the city lord¡¯s birthday. They have been in the business circle for many years, so they naturally understand what this means and what does it represent? The city lord is a towering figure. He is so high up in the sky that many big forces in Chongmo City are racking their brains to make friends with him. A small family like his can't even win over him.
Based on previous years¡¯ testing. The city lord's birthday is the most important event in the city, so he went to attend the meeting. There are top-notch but rarely seen aristocratic families and forces inside and outside the city, as well as monstrous forces in other big cities. Only those at the top are eligible to attend the banquet. The heads of aristocratic families in the largest cities and towns occasionally get one or two invitations to show off for almost a whole month.
In order to get an invitation to a banquet, some forces paid as much as 500 taels of gold for the invitation, but they were all priceless.
The Zhuo family actually got an invitation to the birthday banquet. You can imagine the surprise. Although attending a banquet, there is no real benefit. But it is a status symbol and a tool for showing off. This kind of unattainable scenery will definitely be of great help in the business world.
All kinds of top forces and figures gathered at the banquet. It¡¯s a good opportunity to expand your circle and make contacts. As long as you get to know a few important people at the banquet, you will benefit a lot from doing business in the future. The Zhuo family never dreamed that this year's city lord's birthday banquet would invite him, an unknown little family head.
"Ye Dong! Hahaha! It's all because of Ye Dong's glory!"
Zhuo Zhuo was overjoyed. If Ye Dong had not defeated Wanji Castle, there would be no fruitful harvest today. At the same time, he was relieved that he had offended Xiao Xingrui, and this invitation arrived. It proves that Xiao Xingrui's actions were not out of the city lord's mansion, but his private actions. He was just a dog that looked evil behind its owner's back. He beat the dog until it was full of teeth, and he could only suffer the disadvantage of being mute.
Xiao Xingrui never expected that the city lord would attach so much importance to the Zhuo family. No, it should be about paying attention to the Fortress of Silence. He really couldn't understand that for just destroying the small Wanji Castle, the city lord actually came up with such a reward and an invitation to the Zhuo family for a banquet.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? with a cold light in the eyes, " ? ? " I, Xiao Xingrui, will definitely make you pay a heavy price.
At this moment, there was no need for him to stay anymore, so he left in despair.
The warrior who sent the invitation was not a fool. He could guess what was going on from the injuries Xiao Xingrui suffered.??It's just that if you can pretend not to know, just pretend not to know, don't wade through this troubled water.
He said respectfully: "Congratulations, Master Zhuo. According to the instructions of the city lord, I specially invite you to the birthday banquet. This is the invitation, please take a look."
Zhuo Zhuo took the golden invitation, read it over first, and said with joy, "Thank you very much, brother. It's been a long journey, please come to the front hall to rest."
"No, this is what I should do. Master Zhuo, you defeated Wanji Castle. Everyone in Chongmo City knows about it. The city lord admires you brave men very much. Before I came down, I was also looking forward to meeting Master Zhuo. The fate. Being able to meet a hero like Master Zhuo will be the most unforgettable thing in my life, Lu Xiaochun."
He originally admired Ye Dong, the legendary general who conquered Wan Yangyu, but with only Zhuo Ju in front of him, he naturally wanted to praise Zhuo Ju. I'm not an idiot enough to say, I'm really looking forward to meeting that Ye Dong!
Although he is a warrior who delivers messages, the three words "City Lord's Mansion" are a big sign, so the Zhuo family naturally receives him as a distinguished guest.
"Master Zhuo, you are also in good luck. This birthday banquet is the 120th birthday of our city lord. It is all organized, so the city lord wants to have a great time. Many high-level guests will be invited, some of whom are even in Yongwu. The empire is also a famous one. I don¡¯t know how many rich men are vying for this invitation. Master Zhuo, you are personally appointed by the city lord, which is really enviable."
Zhuo Zhuo and his brothers were excited from the bottom of their hearts, and even thanked them: "Thank you, City Lord, for your promotion. I'm really flattered, Zhuo Zhuo."
He thought about the scene where powerful people gathered on the day of the birthday banquet, and the top officials of the city were present one after another, and he was one of them, and he couldn't control his blood.
"City Lord, here is an invitation from Ye Dong. I am illiterate here. I wonder if you can help me pass the message to him and let him come here."
Zhuo Zhuo pointed to Ye Dong on the right and said: "Ha, no need. It's a coincidence that you came here. He is here."
The martial arts disciple cast his gaze at Ye Dong, scanning up and down the ground, slightly suspicious. Ye Dong's appearance was too young, making it difficult for him to associate himself with the super powerful man who led the army to defeat Wanji Castle and killed millions of people in order to take the head of the old demon Wan Yang Yu.
But then I thought about it, Zhuo Zhuo would not lie to him in front of everyone. He immediately stood up and walked up to Ye Dong: "So you are Ye Dong. You have been famous for a long time. Now your reputation in Zhongmo City is at its peak. Many people are talking about you. I thought you were at least an old man, but I didn't expect you. Are you so young?"
In fact, when he arrived, he noticed Ye Dong, because it could be seen from the battlefield that he was the one fighting Xiao Xingrui. This person had the ability to injure Xiao Xingrui at a young age, and the person he injured was the battalion commander of the city lord's palace. It is said that people with high skills are bold. But he never expected that this person was the legendary Ye Dong.
He works as an errand boy in the city lord's mansion. He has a humble status, but he has a bright mind. I can also make some guesses about what happened before. The outer guards have been responsible for the siege of Wanji Castle in recent years, but they have not achieved any results. In the past, they could use the excuse that the horse thieves in the Castle of Silence were difficult to deal with, and no one would punish them. But Wanji Castle was suddenly destroyed by the Zhuo family and Ye Dong, and the gap between the two naturally emerged.
¡ª¡ªThe assumption that the horse thieves at Wanji Castle are too powerful is no longer valid. Just imagine, even the small aristocratic families in the town were wiped out at Wanji Castle, but the so-called "elite soldiers and strong generals" of the outer city guards have been in vain for several years. This How can I explain it?
So when Xiao Xingrui came down, he must have vented his anger on the Zhuo family in private.
Ye Dong in front of him obviously didn't care about Xiao Xingrui, so the two had a fight, and Xiao Xingrui was injured by him. This was the scene he saw at the beginning! He sighed a little for Xiao Xingrui. In fact, this matter did not require any action, and no one mentioned it after a gust of wind passed. He acted like an idiot and looked for trouble with others, but in the end he hurt himself, making the storm far from calming down.
"My name is Lu Xiaochun. I am a servant in the inner courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion. I am very happy to meet you."
Ye Dong naturally can't put on airs. The so-called junior servant in the Prime Minister's Mansion is better than a third-grade official. He works in the City Lord's Mansion and is polite to others. Although his status was not high, he was not as aggressive as Xiao Xingrui. He stood up immediately and said: "You're welcome."
"This is an invitation from the City Lord's Mansion to you."
Lu Xiaochun took out a golden invitation from his arms and sent it to Ye Dong with both hands.
"We, the city lord, heard that you were fighting against Wanji Castle and were very interested, especially Mr. Ye. It is unbelievable that you killed Wan Yangyu, the great demon, at such a young age. Therefore, I am sending you an invitation with all my heart. I need to get to know you."
??????????? In fact, these words were just words he made up to show off. With his status, it was impossible for him to meet the city lord.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? together out of the elves who are very popular with other people, so they asked him to send them. He never saw the face of the city lord from the beginning to the end. The reason why he said this was because it was related toYe Dong seeks a close relationship, and secondly, he also intends to raise the flag for himself.
What I mean is, although my status is humble, I can speak in front of the city lord.
Others looked at the golden invitation in Ye Dong's hand with greedy eyes.
"This is an invitation to the Chongmo City Lord's birthday banquet! How many dignitaries dream of it, but it's hard to get one. Now Ye Dong actually got one!"
"The strongest one in Baode Town is the Zhuo family, but in the past many years, no matter how many times I tried, I couldn't get one. Ye Dong is a lonely man. He has never even set foot in Chongmo City, but he has been favored by the city lord. People are extremely envious and jealous.¡±
Although the Zhuo family has one, only one person can go, which is equivalent to a representative of the entire Zhuo family. But Ye Dong is one person, and one person has one invitation. This honor is truly unmatched by anyone.
