There are only three days left before the Sicang Conference officially begins.
Yueyang City, which was originally a little deserted, gradually became lively as people from Cangdong, Cangbei and Cangxi areas also arrived one after another.
The Sicang Conference, as the most important event in the four regions of Canglan Country, naturally attracted many powerful people.
During this period, the most heated discussion among people in Yueyang City was the representative forces from the four cities participating in the Sicang Conference.
The representative forces of these four cities are the Qiu family of Donghai City in Cangdong, the Dong family of Huangmu City in Cangxi, the Han family of Lanxue City in Cangbei, and the Yueyang City Historians in Cangnan.
Tap tap tap! The sound of intensive horse hooves rumbled outside Yueyang City.
I saw a cavalry team of nearly a hundred people, like a long dragon, quickly rushing into the city.
This cavalry team is highly disciplined and orderly, and it looks like an elite division at first glance.
In Yueyang City, everyone heard the sound and left, and their eyes fell on a flag in the cavalry team.
On the flag, there is a big word "Dong" written on it.
"It's the Dong family's team from Cangxi Huangmu City! I didn't expect the people from Huangmu City to arrive at Yueyang City three days in advance!"
"Arangmu City has always been at odds with our Yueyang City. If we arrive early this time, I'm afraid it's because of bad intentions!"
"In the last Sicang Conference, our Yueyang City defeated Araki City and won second place. I'm afraid the Dong family of Araram City is not convinced and wants to provoke the historian in advance?"
On both sides of the streets in Yueyang City, people were talking a lot, and their brows were slightly furrowed.
The Araki City team marched straight in, arriving directly outside the Shi family's residence, and stopped in a mighty manner.
In the center of the team, there is a luxurious carriage.
The carriage is wrapped in expensive and exquisite silk on all sides, and the windows inlaid with gold and treasures are covered by a curtain of light blue crepe. The entire carriage reveals an unconcealed nobility.
Crash! The entire team dismounted, faced the carriage, and knelt on one knee, with respectful expressions on their brows.
"Shi Wenyuan, Dong Jingfeng of Huangmu City came to visit!"
Inside the carriage, there was silence for a moment, and suddenly an old voice came.
This voice was not loud at first, but as it spread, it became louder and louder, and eventually spread throughout the entire history of history.
Historian Hall.
Shi Lu, Shi Yunlan and the senior officials of the Shi family, who were currently discussing matters, changed their expressions and stood up one after another.
"Dong Jingfeng, the ancestor of the Dong family in Huangmu City?"
Shi Lu's pupils shrank, his brows furrowed tightly, and there was a vague premonition in his heart.
"The Dong family of Araram City arrived at Yueyang City three days in advance?"
Shi Yunlan looked surprised.
In previous years, the forces participating in the Sicang Conference basically arrived one day in advance. This was an established rule.
Shi Yunlan didn't expect that the Dong family would arrive at Yueyang City so early.
"Let's go! Let's go out and take a look!"
Shi Lu strode out of the hall and walked straight towards the main gate of the Shijia family, followed closely by Shi Yunlan and other senior officials of the Shijia family.
When they came to the gate, they found an exquisite and luxurious carriage outside the mansion.
Elite soldiers wearing heavy armor knelt on one knee around the carriage.
Inside the carriage, a strong, bald old man slowly walked out.
The bald old man, wearing loose linen training clothes, stepped out of the carriage with his hands behind his back.
Behind the bald old man were a middle-aged man and a young man and woman.
"Junior Shi Lu has met Mr. Dong!"
Shi Lu bowed deeply to the bald old man, his eyes full of fear.
The bald old man is Dong Jingfeng, the giant who dominates the Cangxi area.
Shi Lu was quite anxious. He knew very well that Shi Wenyuan and Dong Jingfeng had some grudges when they were young, and they never dealt with each other.
If Shi Wenyuan had not died, Shi Lu would naturally not be afraid of Dong Jingfeng.
But now, Shi Wenyuan is dead, and Shi Jia's vitality is severely damaged. Now that Dong Jingfeng has arrived in Yueyang City in advance to find Shi Jia, he may be coming with bad intentions.
Dong Jingfeng glanced at Shi Lu lightly and said, "Where is Shi Wenyuan?"
Shi Lu said respectfully: "Thank you, Mr. Dong, for thinking about my ancestor! It is unfortunate that you are here. Our ancestor happens to be in retreat and cannot receive guests for the time being!"
Dong Jingfeng said indifferently: "The Sicang Conference is about to be held, why should we shut up and not let him come out to meet his old friends?"
Shi Lu bent even lower and whispered: "The ancestor is indeed in retreat, please forgive me, Mr. Dong!"
Dong Jingfeng nodded and said casually: "I heard someone said that Shi Wenyuan is dead!"
Shi Lu's heart tightened, and the expressions of Shi Yunlan and other senior historians changed slightly.
Dong Jingfeng glanced at the expressions of Shi Lu and others, narrowed his eyes, and continued: "Now it seems that it is just a rumor.
Now that he’s fine, I’m relieved!”
"Thank you, Mr. Dong, for your concern!"
Shi Lu forced a smile.
"You should care about your old friends!"
A subtle smile appeared on Dong Jingfeng's lips, and he still stood there, not intending to leave.
"Mr. Dong, I wonder if there is anything else you can do?"
Shi Lu saw that Dong Jingfeng and others were still lingering on leaving, and the ominous premonition in his heart became more and more intense.
"The spiritual stones, land deeds and other industrial resources prepared by Araki City, Donghai City and Lanxue City for the Sicang Conference are temporarily placed in your historian's custody in advance! I'll come over and check them in advance to avoid any mistakes!"
Dong Jingfeng put his hands behind his back, crossed the team, came to the gate, and continued: "Shi Lu, lead the way!"
Shi Lu's face turned extremely pale, and he forced a smile and said: "Mr. Dong, this is against the rules, isn't it?
The Sicang Conference is based on the trust of the four cities. There has never been any advance inspection in the past..." Dong Jingfeng interrupted: "Old man, this is also for the smooth holding of the Sicang Conference. If you think it is inappropriate,
, let Shi Wenyuan come out and tell me that you are not qualified!"
Shi Lu lowered his head, cupped his hands and said: "I obey Mr. Dong's words, please come with me!"
Dong Jingfeng looked at Shi Lu's back, raised his eyebrows slightly, and followed him up.
Soon, the group arrived at the Shijia Treasure House.
The Shi Family Treasure House is very large and is divided into several areas. Shi Lu has reached the deepest area.
There, there is a hidden and separate secret room.
On the floor of the secret room, there are piles of spiritual stones neatly stacked, and various land deeds are neatly placed on the table.
In addition, there are bottles and jars, which should be used to store elixirs.
Dong Jingfeng glanced at the people around him, and they quickly entered the secret room and counted the land deeds, spiritual stones and other resources.
"Ancestor, the land deed and the spiritual elixir remain unchanged, but part of the spiritual stone is missing!"
A middle-aged man in rich clothes and elegant equipment came to Dong Jingfeng and said in a deep voice.
His name is Dong Xu, he is the head of the Dong family, a descendant of Dong Jingfeng, and the lord of Huangmu City.
Dong Jingfeng's eyes suddenly became sharp, he turned to look at Shi Lu and said: "Shi Lu, did you move the spirit stone?"
Shi Lu sighed in his heart, knowing that paper could not contain the fire after all.
In order to raise eight hundred spiritual stones, he finally moved the spiritual stones of the Sicang Conference.
He originally thought that this matter could be hidden until the end of the Sicang Conference. As long as Yueyang City could achieve the top two results, his family of historians would not only be able to fill the gap in the spiritual stones that had been moved, but also have some remaining spiritual stones.
Unfortunately, all his plans were shattered by Dong Jingfeng.
"Mr. Dong! Some time ago, our Historian family was in urgent need of spiritual stones, so we borrowed some of them! But don't worry, our Historian family will make up for it after the Sicang Conference is over..." Before Shi Lu could finish speaking, a terrifying strong wind swept across
It came and hit him hard in the chest.
Shi Lu groaned and flew backwards, hitting the wall behind him hard, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
