When Chen Hu saw Zhang Liucheng, he quickly walked forward with a group of people.
"Brother, you're back!"
Zhang Liucheng jumped off the carriage, walked up to Chen Hu, and said with a smile.
"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Chen!"
Chen Hu shook his head when he heard Zhang Liucheng's words.
"Welcome back, brother! Why do you say it's so hard?"
Chen Hu walked up to Xiaoqiang and others, bowed deeply, then hugged Zhang Liucheng's shoulders and said.
"Brother, we have prepared a banquet for our brothers in the city lord's mansion. Let's have a few more drinks with him later!"
Zhang Liucheng nodded when he heard Chen Hu's words.
"Okay, Brother Chen."
Father Zhang, Xiaoqiang and others followed behind Chen Hu.
…
The red vermilion-lacquered gate of the City Lord's Mansion has a black golden nanmu plaque hanging on the top, with five large characters "Yancheng City Lord's Mansion" written in a flying phoenix on it.
Entering the city lord's palace, the pavilions and pavilions are dotted with vibrant green bamboos and strange-shaped stones. Those strange stones are stacked together, abrupt and imposing.
The golden-domed stone walls are painted with various bird patterns and are colorful.
The exotic flowers and plants in the garden are very bright and beautiful.
There are also several flowering trees in the garden. They are tall and handsome. The flowers are falling in the wind, with thousands of flowers covering the ground in several layers. It is very beautiful.
Walking onto the stone bridge and looking down, dozens of red bass were swimming in the water in the pond under the bridge.
Zhang Liucheng saw this scene and said to Chen Hu.
"Brother Chen, the environment of the City Lord's Mansion is quite good?"
Chen Hu nodded when he heard Zhang Liucheng's words.
"It's not bad! If compared with other city lord's mansions, it's still far behind!"
Chen Hu took Zhang Liucheng into the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion, and everyone took their seats.
Chen Hu ordered a maid beside him.
"Serve!"
When the maid heard Chen Hu's words, she turned and left.
In less than a moment of tea, several maids entered the hall carrying delicacies.
Chen Hu ordered to an old man in green robe beside him.
"Steward, bring two jars of bamboo leaves and greens!"
When the housekeeper heard Chen Hu's words, he turned and left.
After a while, the housekeeper and four servants carried two jars of bamboo leaves and green leaves and placed them in the hall.
The butler opened a jar of bamboo leaves and greens and poured a bowl for each person.
Chen Hu looked at Zhang Liucheng and said calmly.
"Brother, eldest brother plans to leave in ten days. Since this place is far away from Ningyu, I am afraid of delaying the competition. If I go there earlier, I can also get acquainted with the situation in Ningyu. If brother does not come back tomorrow, eldest brother will send someone to pick you up. "
Father Zhang heard Chen Hu's words and said respectfully.
"Lord City Lord, what you said is absolutely true! I was afraid of delaying the City Lord's affairs, so I sent the mistress here!"
Chen Hu heard Zhang's father's words and picked up the wine bowl.
"Thank you, Uncle Zhang. I'll drink this bowl of wine first as a token of respect!"
Seeing Chen Hu being so polite, Zhang Liucheng also picked up the wine bowl and said to Chen Hu.
"Brother Chen, it's all my fault! I should punish myself for this bowl of wine. I have an unkind request. I wonder if Brother Chen can accept it?"
Chen Hu nodded when he heard Zhang Liucheng's words.
"Brother, tell me what you have to say. As long as the eldest brother can do it, the eldest brother will be satisfied!"
Zhang Liucheng asked Chen Hu as he kowtowed.
"I want to bring a brother to participate in the seven major sect disciple selection ceremonies! Is it possible?"
"Haha..., this is a good thing. Big brother is just asking for it! Each team is allowed ten people to participate in the competition. The more people there are, the greater the chance of winning! Big brother is worried about not being able to find a suitable candidate!" Chen Hu heard Zhang If it works, have a good laugh. "Could it be these seniors in front of me?"
Zhang Liucheng nodded slightly when he heard Chen Hu's words.
"My younger brother wants Xiaoqiang to participate in the seven major sect disciple selection ceremonies, but the other brothers are not allowed to participate due to their lack of cultivation!"
When Xiaohong heard Zhang Liucheng's words, she stood up and said displeasedly.
"Since I entered the world of immortality, I have put life and death aside for a long time. My little girl hopes to fight side by side with my master."
Xiaobai and Xiaohei stood up and said in unison.
"I am willing to fight alongside my master!"
Zhang Liucheng shook his head when he heard what Xiaohong and the others said.
"Brother Chen, give me five places!"
Chen Hu slammed the table excitedly.
"Okay! Here's a toast to all the seniors! I wish all the seniors a successful start."
After saying that, Chen Hu picked up the wine bowl and drank the wine in one gulp.
"This year, if we eliminate a few wimps, my eldest brother will also have face."
"We invited some warriors to make up the numbers before, but when the warriors entered the ring, they were defeated by the monks with just one move. Even the eldest brother's personal bodyguards could not enter the top five hundred. Twenty years ago, the eldest brother narrowly defeated the competition and entered the top 500. Bai, was selected into the Spiritual Beast Sect and became an outer disciple. After five years of joining the sect, he failed to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, so he was assigned by the Spiritual Beast Sect to be the Lord of a city here to ensure the safety of this place."
Chen Hu took a sip of wine and continued.
"Ever since I became the Lord of Yancheng, no one from Yancheng has been elected to the sect in the past twenty years."
"Over the years, the Spiritual Beast Sect has ignored this city. So these years! Several nearby cities have sent monks to rob the city lord's mansion many times. My eldest brother also has more than enough intentions but not enough power. He has sent people to report to the Spiritual Beast Sect many times. They all come back in vain.”
After saying that, Chen Hu shook his head and took a sip of wine.
Zhang Liucheng sighed when he heard Chen Hu's words.
"I didn't expect Brother Chen to have such troubles!"
Chen Hu shook his head.
"Therefore, for many years, Big Brother has been looking for someone who can change the current situation of Yancheng, so that Yancheng has a backer and the people of the city cannot suffer!"
"I didn't expect that the Lord of the City is still a person who cares about the people! I admire you! I'll offer you a bowl of wine on behalf of the people of the city!" Father Zhang picked up the wine bowl and said to Chen Hu, "Please, the Lord of the City, take good care of these juniors."
"Don't be a person who cares about the people! After all, I haven't protected the people of the city!" Chen Hu stood up and said slowly, "It is what I should do to take care of my brothers. After all, you are fighting on our behalf! If you encounter a crisis in the ring, , just admit defeat and your life will be safe."
Xiaoqiang heard Chen Hu's words and laughed.
"Haha..., admitting defeat? That's ridiculous. I can solve those little minions without Big Brother taking action!"
Father Zhang frowned when he heard Xiaoqiang's words.
"Xiaoqiang, don't you know that one mountain is higher than another? The world is big, and there are many capable people!"
When Xiaoqiang heard Zhang's father's words, he nodded and took a sip of wine.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
Chen Hu gave instructions to the housekeeper.
"Butler, clear out the west wing of the backyard and let a few distinguished guests move in!"
When the housekeeper heard Chen Hu's words, he took three steps back, turned and left.
In less than a cup of tea, the housekeeper came to the hall and said to Chen Hu.
"Lord City Lord, the west wing of the backyard has been tidied up. Please come down and have a rest."
Father Zhang, Zhang Liucheng and others followed behind the housekeeper.
Chen Hu followed everyone and waited for them to enter the residence before turning around and leaving.
Time!
In the front yard, the gongs and drums are noisy, and the fire is lighting up the sky.
Zhang Liucheng and others heard the noise and ran to the courtyard quickly.
The housekeeper was furious and rushed to Zhang Liucheng.
"Seniors, please go down and take shelter in the dark pavilion."
Xiaoqiang heard the housekeeper's words and said coldly.
"Escape? My big brother is here! What are you afraid of? Tell me what's wrong quickly?"
When the housekeeper heard Xiaoqiang's words, he said in a squeaky voice:
"There are... monks... sneak attack... City Lord's Mansion, Lord City Lord, and his people... are intercepting. Please follow me, seniors, to take shelter first."
"Sister Hong, take Xiaobai and Xiaohei with you to protect your father." Zhang Liucheng heard the housekeeper's words and warned Xiaohong and the others. "Xiaoqiang and I went to the front yard to see who was so bold? He dared to sneak attack on the city lord's mansion."
When Xiaohong and the others heard Zhang Liucheng's words, they turned and walked to the door of Zhang's father's residence.
Zhang Liucheng led Xiaoqiang towards the front yard. On the ground in the front yard, there were many guards and servants lying on the ground.
Chen Hu, holding a long sword, was fighting with five Three Condensation Realm monks in the courtyard.
A white-faced scholar holding an iron fan was beaten to the point of being unable to fight back by a big man in yellow wearing tiger claws. The white-faced scholar was obviously no match for the big man in yellow.
There was also a big man holding a sledgehammer and a big man holding a spear, and the fight ended in a draw. It was difficult for the two to tell the winner for a while.
Next to Chen Hu, there was a young man wearing black clothes and holding a long knife. He was fighting with a nine-foot-tall fat man holding a giant axe. The young man wearing black clothes had the upper hand.
At this time, an old man wearing a fishnet suit and holding a horned fork joined the battle group. The old man and the fat man holding a giant ax attacked the young man holding a long knife.
