What Yagyu said was tragic. Although it was a bit scary, it was not nonsense. The Douhun Pavilion in Licheng had indeed been attacked back then. It was later found out that it was the work of a huge killer organization. Although the powerful enemy was successfully repelled in the end,
But the city lord's mansion also suffered heavy losses.
But from that time on, the City Lord's Mansion tightened its supervision of Douhun Pavilion!
Seven days later, the government banquet started. This was a feast, a feast before the royal city competition. As one of the ten people participating in the battle, Luo Chen naturally accepted the invitation.
The next day, when it was just dawn, a carriage was already prepared outside the Zhong Mansion.
There were four people in the group. Yagyu Sheng was dressed in white and dressed elegantly. Luo Chen muttered, but he had to admit that this guy was indeed a bit of a pretty boy.
Zhong Xian'er is still dressed in a gorgeous fur dress, graceful but not tacky. Her long, shiny black hair is tied up high, giving her a different charm.
Zhong Li was dressed very smartly today, which was somewhat similar to the one he wore when they first met. As for Luo Chen, he was much more casual. He couldn't get used to wearing expensive furs, so he changed into a pair of coarse linen clothes. Although it looked a bit tacky, but
Just wear something comfortable.
The four of them got on the carriage, and then Manager Wei raised his whip, and the carriage drove straight to the city lord's palace.
At this time, there was already a sea of people outside the mansion, and all kinds of luxurious carriages came and went in an orderly manner, and it did not seem crowded.
The black-armored guards on both sides who were responsible for maintaining order stood there like door gods, with their evil aura billowing and making them intimidating!
The City Lord's Mansion was very large, with two separate palaces: the inner and outer. It was still early in the morning, and there was still a long time before the palace banquet, so the aristocratic families who came to attend the dinner stayed in the outer palace to visit.
"Just stay here."
Nowadays, the Zhong family is just a second-rate family in Licheng. According to the rules, carriages are not allowed to enter the outer palace.
Manager Wei stopped the carriage and the four of them stepped out one by one. The gate of the splendid mansion was magnificent, magnificent and grand!
The area of just one outer palace is almost as big as ten Zhongfus. Luo Chen clicked his tongue. It is indeed the main palace of the royal city. In his impression, the Zhongfu is big enough, but compared with this one.
Compared to the City Lord's Mansion, it really pales in comparison.
As the person in charge of this royal city competition, after entering the palace, Zhong Xianer, accompanied by Liu Sheng, went directly to the inner palace to make preparations. Before leaving, he specifically asked the two of them not to run around.
Can't cause trouble.
Luo Chen and Zhong Li naturally guarantee this.
The government banquet is held every three years, and it is always full, especially this one, because everyone knows the importance of this royal city competition. Perhaps this is the last government banquet in Licheng.
It had just snowed a few days ago, and there were traces of cleaning. Luo Chen pulled Zhong Li through the crowd, which naturally attracted the attention of many people.
"Huh? That boy seems familiar."
A girl muttered, and an old servant whispered a reminder beside her. The girl exclaimed: "Luo Chen!"
He paused while walking and turned to look at the girl, who was about thirteen years old, wearing a pink jacket and skirt, and looked pretty. She was looking at him with her mouth open.
"Sister Zhong Li, you have to hold on tight. I have a feeling that that girl is interested in me. Maybe she will come forward and say hello to me."
Luo Chen turned his head and looked at Zhong Li, saying seriously.
Zhong Li looked at the girl curiously, not knowing how to answer the question. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the girl actually walking over with lotus steps.
"Luo Chen?"
The girl blinked her eyes and looked at him curiously, while the old servant behind the girl looked like he was facing a powerful enemy, guarding against something.
"Guaranteed replacement if fake."
"Is it really Luo Chen, or is he still alive? It's so rare, I really want to punch him."
The girl clapped her hands and stepped forward to circle around Luo Chen.
Luo Chen's face turned dark at this moment. Seeing this, the old servant was startled and pulled the girl away quickly.
"There's something wrong!"
It wasn't until the girl's back disappeared into reality that she gritted her teeth and said.
"Pfft~ let's go, let's go take a look in front."
Zhong Li laughed out loud and pulled Luo Chen forward. The city lord's mansion was deserted on weekdays, but it was not as lively as today.
Some aristocratic families saw the business opportunity and set up stalls here. There were dolls all over the floor with different prices. They shouted here and attracted many people to stop.
Luo Chen was furious and wanted to step forward to argue, but Zhong Li twisted his ears and walked straight past him, holding his breath in his chest. It was really frustrating.
I don’t know why, but the trend of dolls in Licheng has been booming recently, which makes me feel a little frustrated.
"What are you doing? They are just ordinary dolls, and they don't have your name engraved on them. Why are you so angry? Don't forget, my sister has told me not to cause trouble.
"Luo Chen's version of the doll is on sale at a bargain price!"
However, at this time, I saw a middle-aged fat man shouting at the top of his voice.
"Those who hit Luo Chen with an arrow and hit the ten red heart rings will be rewarded with a low-grade Horcrux!"
Not to be outdone, a thin monkey young man also shouted in the crowd, which attracted a lot of attention.
"Female Luo Chen doll, absolutely unique, only one available!"
…
"Sister Zhong Li, I want to cry."
Luo Chen was a little aggrieved, and Zhong Li didn't know how to comfort him, so he patted him on the back.
"Sister Zhong Li, give me a hug and ask for comfort."
"No nonsense, there are so many people."
Zhong Li blushed, knowing that Luo Chen was playing tricks.
The two were holding hands, like a pair of golden boys and girls. Zhong Li had no choice but to let him hold his hand. At this time, he saw a group of people walking from a distance, rushing all the way to the two of them.
The leader was a young man, one or two years younger than Luo Chen, but at this moment he was pretending to be mature and looking at him, shaking his head from time to time.
"Is this the stuff? It's exactly what my cousin said."
The young man spoke so rudely, pointed at Luo Chen and said arrogantly: "Choose one for yourself."
As he said this, three teenagers of fifteen or sixteen came out from behind the young man. All of them were dressed in gorgeous clothes, with their hands folded across their chests, and their nostrils turned upward. They seemed a little unconcerned.
"It's the young master of the Wei family! Sure enough, he's looking for trouble."
"It's normal. Wei Hao once said that I would be ashamed to be with him. Speaking of which, Luo Chen is really annoying. It is said that he is still a coward."
Some people pointed fingers and commented on Luo Chen in this way.
"He is indeed a coward. As a candidate for ten positions, he has repeatedly avoided the battle. Letting such a guy be selected is a humiliation for us!"
"Yes, he does look human-like, but it is just a decoration. But I heard that someone has already threatened to make him look good."
Some people gloated about misfortune.
"There's something wrong with you, who are you?"
Luo Chen was speechless. They all looked like uncles. Under the bitter cold wind, could it be that the wind had filled their brains?
"You are really ignorant. Young Master Wei doesn't even know where he ran away from?"
A young man spoke, took a step, glanced sideways at Luo Chen, and said in a commanding tone: "I'll give you a chance, give up that spot, and get out of the City Lord's Mansion yourself."
"You idiot."
Luo Chen was speechless again. Didn't it mean that the people who came to attend the government banquet today were either nobles from aristocratic families or some famous geniuses in Licheng? Why did each one of them seem to be mentally retarded? This IQ is really worrying!
Yes, it's fine. Suddenly a group of people ran out and spoke in a commanding tone. If it wasn't because they were mentally ill, then it was something else.
"Let's go, Sister Zhong Li."
Zhong Li was a little worried, but when he saw what Luo Chen said, he felt relieved. Although the Wei family was at the bottom of the five major families, it was not something that the Zhong family could offend now.
She knew Luo Chen's character to some extent. Although he usually looked like he was joking and indifferent, if he was really irritated, it would be a disaster.
"Want to leave?"
The young man flashed and opened his arms to block the way of the two of them. He raised one leg and kicked it in the air. At this time, the Wei family's fighting soul guard moved a chair. The young man didn't even look at it. He exerted force in his calf and only heard a click.
With a sound, the chair immediately fell into pieces.
"Did Mr. Wei let you go?"
The young man moved his left leg, kicking out cracking sounds from time to time, and sneered.
"Don't think that because of the Zhong family, you can get into the ten quotas. Don't talk about you. Today, the two quotas for the Zhong family cannot be missing. It's better to hand them over as soon as possible, otherwise there will be action soon.
Come on, don't blame me for not warning you."
As he said this, the Wei family's fighting spirit guards came forward to surround him. Luo Chen's face turned slightly cold. He shook his head and looked around, only to see the black-armored guards not far away who were like wooden stakes. They had no intention of stopping him at all.
"Don't expect anyone to come to save you. The city lord has already given the order. Before the banquet is officially started, everything is free."
The young man spoke like this, and Luo Chen nodded in understanding.
"That's it, that's fine."
"Don't mess around."
Zhong Li held Luo Chen's hand in her hand and signaled him not to be impulsive. She knew Luo Chen's strength, but there were Wei family fighting spirit guards watching eagerly. If she made a move, she was worried that Luo Chen would suffer a loss.
"It's okay, Sister Zhong Li. It's just a discussion. I'll try to be gentler."
The people watching the excitement around were speechless and shook their heads. As expected, it was just as rumored that the sky was high and the sky was high.
At this time, not far from the crowd, there were several figures stopping, also watching.
"Wei Hao, there's no need to be like this, right?"
Zuo Linglong frowned. After the banquet started, there would naturally be a discussion. However, it was obviously inappropriate to do so at this time.
"That's not what I meant."
Wei Hao shrugged. Even though he said this, he didn't stop anything.
"Don't make too much noise."
Zheng Tao spoke, and Wei Hao nodded. The Zheng family is the head of the five major families, and Zheng Tao is the one with the highest cultivation level among the four. His words naturally carry a certain weight.
"Nothing will happen."
Wei Hao nodded, naturally understanding that he just couldn't stand it.
Mo Cheng's face on the side was a little unsightly. His eyes were fixed in front of him, and finally fell on the interlocked palms. There was a burning fire in his eyes, very strong! (To be continued)
