Everyone is busy inside and outside the martial arts gym.
There are still more than thirty people in the martial arts hall itself, and a group of cooks and servants were hired the day before yesterday to help.
Including those who deliver vegetables and fruits, there are more than 20 people in Jian Tong's family, and nearly a hundred people are preparing for the banquet.
The banquet will not officially start until twelve o'clock, but you must prepare in advance.
Although he wants to attack the Li family at the banquet, he also wants to have a good meal.
Similarly, in order to numb the carelessness of the patriarchs and principals of other families, the size of this banquet should not be too shabby, but must be grand.
Therefore, when Huang An and the others came out of the city lord's mansion, they brought more than twenty soldiers with cooking skills to help.
"Let's go in!"
When he returned home again, Zhao Yan seemed very excited, and he raised his feet and led everyone into the martial arts gym.
Ding Zhi, who was following the crowd, ran to do some business consciously.
Most of the existing precious medicines in the entire Martial Arts Division have been rounded up by Huang An.
Today, the Zhao Family Martial Arts Hall holds a banquet, and all the families in the city, big or small, will participate in the banquet.
It was useless for him to guard the Budo Si Bao Medicine Supervision where no one would come to buy the precious medicine for most of the day. He might as well come to help directly and get some benefits.
Ding Zhi has obviously made up his mind to side with Huang An and Zhao Yan.
He even wrote letters to his family in Fufeng County.
He planned to send the envelope out as soon as the Li family was eradicated, so that the clan could quickly recruit a group of clan members to take root in Feng'an City.
The sovereignty of the banquet was naturally handed over to Zhao Yan.
She is the owner of the martial arts gym and has hosted similar banquets before, so she has much more experience than Huang An.
Zhao Yan easily took control of the organization of today's banquet.
Huang An was reduced to the second-in-command position and was busy helping out.
While everyone in the Zhao Family Martial Arts Hall was busy working together, Wang Long and his group, who had not been able to return to the city yesterday, were already waiting for the appointed time in the pine forest ten miles north of the city.
At 6:30 in the morning, Wang Long, Liu Hai and Tang Shi, three Bronze Skin Realm warriors, received the second order handed over to them by Zhang Rang and Meng Yun.
Only then did the three of them understand that leading the team out of the city to collect food was just a pretense.
It was naturally impossible for Wang Long and the others to disobey Huang An's order, so they immediately handed over the command of the team to Meng Yun and Zhang Rang.
They first spent money to organize more than 30 middle-aged laborers from Dahuaishu Village, and then selected 15 people from among their own brothers to form a grain transport brigade.
This newly established grain transport brigade has a total number of nearly fifty people, which is about the same size as the team that came to collect grain yesterday.
The leaders of the team are Meng Yun and Liu Hai.
Then, Zhang Rang and Meng Yun ordered them to load more than ten trucks of grain from the grain warehouse that they had just packed up last night.
Finally, after daybreak, the new grain transport team, led by Meng Yun and Liu Hai, set off directly.
They will transport the food to the city lord's palace before twelve o'clock noon.
After all, it rained heavily last night, so they didn't come back in time, and the food was temporarily unavailable. Isn't it normal to transport it to the city lord's palace?
After everything was settled, Zhang Rang and Wang Long led the team and left Dahuaishuzhuang.
They went straight to the pine forest mentioned in the letter, which was five miles away on the road heading north outside the city.
And in that pine forest, it was Liu Long and Xiao Wu who had been waiting all night to prepare their clothes.
...
The busy process, especially the process of waiting for big things to happen, is always very slow.
But no matter how busy or slow, time still passes.
The morning has passed and the time has reached eleven o'clock. There is still one hour before the banquet.
According to the convention of the Ming Dynasty and the entire Youzhou banquet, guests need to arrive in advance and can already enter the martial arts hall now.
It was naturally impossible for Zhao Yan and Luo Feiyao to go to the main entrance of the martial arts hall in person to greet the arrival of these guests.
There was no one in the entire Feng'an City who was worthy of being greeted by the two of them at the door.
There was a showdown today, and Huang An himself was too lazy to be the one to greet the guests.
But in order to perform the last scene well, Huang An still took Chen Yu and Zhang Yi to the main entrance of the martial arts gym.
The three of them greeted me and gave me enough face.
Taking advantage of this banquet, Huang An and the others arranged for a general cleaning of the entire martial arts gym yesterday morning.
There are already people in the martial arts hall, plus the more than 20 brothers who stayed in the martial arts hall, and the more than 20 people from Jian Tong's family who had settled down yesterday evening, there is still a lot of labor for cleaning.
The interior and exterior of the martial arts hall are completely new.
Even the main road in front of the entrance of the martial arts school and the small roads on both sides are clean and tidy.
Even the yellow mud on the stone slabs was washed away clean.
Huang An took two bodyguards and stood at the door for less than five minutes when the first wave of customers arrived.
Three friends, Zhang Sui'an, Zhao Ji and Qian Zhong, came together.
And they didn’t come empty-handed, nor did the three of them come alone.
Behind the three of them, closely followed six young men dressed in brocade clothes. Judging from their gaits, they were all warriors.
It's just that their cultivation levels are generally not high, and four of them are pale and their steps are a little frivolous.
At a glance, you can tell that you have done too much arranging flowers and jade, which has hurt your body.
Their identities are easy to guess. They are all core disciples of their respective families. This time they were brought here to gain experience and increase their connections.
Behind these young men, there were more than ten young men dressed as slaves, carrying six wooden boxes.
The wooden box seems to be newly made, and the bright red paint surface looks particularly pleasing to the eye.
As soon as the three of them saw Huang An and Chen Yu waiting at the door, their faces suddenly showed joy, and their movements moved much faster.
The attitudes of the three of them were as respectful as ever, and their postures were very low.
After saying that, he turned around and scolded the junior behind him:
"You haven't met Mr. Huang yet?"
Even if the juniors were unhappy, they behaved very well and respectfully at this moment, bowing deeply to Huang An and saluting respectfully.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "We have met Mr. Huang!"
But their lowered eyes were still full of contempt and dissatisfaction.
They, who are the same age as Huang An, despise Huang An deep down in their hearts.
As for why they feel contempt and whether there are other emotions, only they themselves know.
With a flash of his eyes, Huang An suppressed the resentment in his heart, bowed his hands in a simple salute, then made a gesture of extending his hands, and said with a smile:
"Three clan leaders, please come in! Young masters, please come in!"
Smiling, he greeted the crowd and entered the main entrance.
Expression management is a science, and Huang An feels more and more that being able to conceal one's expressions and control emotions is beyond imagination.
Huang An led everyone ten meters into the door, then returned to the entrance of the martial arts hall with two bodyguards and continued to welcome guests.
Naturally, someone in the martial arts hall led the three clan leaders to the corresponding positions.
Standing at the door of the martial arts hall again, the figures of Zhang Sui'an and the others disappeared from his eyes, and the resentment and murderous intention in Huang An's heart gradually dissipated.
Yesterday, he also took time to read the criminal files submitted by various families.
During this period, I smashed two tables and shed tears three times.
Among the records in the file, there are these three old guys.
Although Huang An didn't know the names of the juniors following the three of them, he knew based on his subjective judgment that they were not good people either.
The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, which is the most realistic portrayal of the moral level of people from aristocratic families in this world.
They look sanctimonious, but who would have thought that these three old guys are actually beasts in disguise.
They have been dandy boys in the city since they were young. They have done all kinds of bad things and often insulted people from good families in the street.
After the humiliation is over, if the victimized girl or married woman files a complaint with the government, they can also use their own advantages and use various shady means to escape the crime.
After escaping the government's investigation, they will definitely do evil things to the victim's family afterwards, killing people at every turn, or killing them brutally.
It's fine if the victim keeps silent, but once he wants to pursue the case, he will inevitably end up with a tragic ending of his family being ruined and his life being destroyed.
Warriors are physically much stronger than ordinary people, and their thoughts about that aspect are also very frequent and strong.
Female warriors can still be restrained by secular morals and family rules, and cannot do things like rape and humiliate good husbands in the street.
But male martial artists are different. Those who can practice martial arts will definitely have good family conditions.
Marrying a wife and taking concubines is inevitable.
But how can domestic flowers be as fragrant as wild flowers?
Black and white take it all, which refers to the family where the warrior belongs. It is too easy for people like them to do bad things.
They are arrogant and domineering, and no one can really punish them.
Over time, their morals and behaviors become stereotyped.
Looking at the behavior of these warriors from aristocratic families based on Huang An's values and morals, nine times out of ten, they all deserve to die!
"When I eradicate the Li family and take over the general trend, you will definitely die badly!"
The cold light in his eyes flashed away, Huang An squeezed out a smile and moved on to greet the next guest.
Chen Yu and Zhang Yi, who were following him, suddenly seemed to feel a chill running through their bodies.
But after another inspection, nothing was found.
The arrival of the three clan leaders Zhang Sui'an seemed to be a signal.
In just half an hour, Huang An welcomed twelve more waves of guests.
Even if he and Chen Yu had been standing under the shade of a tree or under the eaves, they were still sweating on their foreheads at this moment.
There are no clan leaders or principals of each clan who come to the banquet alone, not one.
Every clan leader who comes brings his own "outstanding" juniors.
Those who are more particular, such as Zhang Sui'an and the others, can prepare a small gift when they come to a banquet.
Those who are short of money will also come with some fancy gifts, such as cloth and dried meat, to make up for the appearance.
Huang An didn't care, nor did he dislike it. He accepted the order and greeted him with a smile.
Some clan leaders are very unfamiliar and did not come when they gave gifts last time. This time they came uninvited and the gifts they brought were quite satisfactory.
Huang An was able to identify all the larger warrior families in Feng'an City at once.
In Feng'an City, or in the entire Ming Dynasty, the existence of martial arts forces was dominated by families.
Whether it is a chamber of commerce or a gang, the most important form of existence is family inheritance.
Ever since the Kong family in the East used their name to help the royal family regain the martial arts inheritance of the world a hundred years ago, the already declining gang power was completely replaced by the family power in less than fifty years.
The desire of a warrior is very strong, the body is healthy and strong, and he has money and power.
Often in the late stages of the Six Fu realm, one will take wives and take concubines.
Even the most indifferent warrior will have needs in some way.
