"Why should we go to congratulate Jiang Xingchen on his 18th birthday?" The person who spoke was a middle-aged man, and his territory was next to Xingchen's territory.

"What are you congratulating?" Another man with a big man looked sneered: "Didn't you see that Dingbei Hou has left? The entire Hongyuan City territory has been taken over by the empire. I don't know who the next lord is!"

"So what? What does it have to do with Jiang Xingchen? We are next to his territory. In the future, we will have no worries about food and drink!" said an old man with a hunchback.

"Hmph! If you want to go, don't say I didn't remind you. No matter who comes to Hongyuan City, they will clear out the old forces little by little and develop their own people... Jiang Xingchen, as a hardcore of Dingbei Hou, thinks he can have a good life in the future and is too close to him, and he will not have good fruits to eat!" The big man sneered.

The middle-aged man who spoke at the beginning frowned and said, "No, look at his starry leader. He has been expanding continuously over the past year. This is not something that Dingbei Hou can reward him. He must be the senior executive of the empire..."

The hunched old man nodded and said, "It's very likely! Otherwise, how could he improve so quickly?"

The big man said disrespectfully: "You are all guessing. Jiang Xingchen's father and our neighbors have been together for many years. Don't you know what happened to his family... This kid is just a lucky fortune! In addition, the senior leaders of the empire are all big clans, and they will have a good relationship with him, a young and without roots. Is it possible..."

These small villages are all remote and are all focused on developing their own territory. In addition to paying taxes and reporting to the management department, they can't go to Hongyuan City a few times a year, and at most they go to the town to buy supplies. The news is relatively closed.

Of course, when Jiang Xingchen's territory expanded, they were all shocked and sent people to Hongyuan City to inquire, but they learned that Jiang Xingchen had made great contributions to the empire.

Of course, several lords didn't believe it: "What great contribution can a little hairy child make? It's just because Xie Wanrou has been appreciated by Dingbei Hou. Dingbei Hou deliberately lifted you, so you have such an opportunity!"

They have always thought so, and they don’t know the specific situation of Jiang Xingchen. They don’t know Jiang Xingchen’s reputation in the empire at this time.

The big man looked at the other people and continued, "Now that Marquis Dingbei has left, who else can Jiang Xingchen point to... There are so many good things in his territory, it would be strange if the new Marquis lets go! Let's prepare and surrender earlier. Maybe I can drink some soup!"

When the big man said this, whether it was the middle-aged man who spoke before or the hunchbacked old man behind him, his eyes were lit.

Over the past year, the development of the Star Territory has been obvious to all. The surrounding lords of the territories were so envious that they were blue. Not only did they have fertile fields, but they also had things like oxen and carts, and they could also grow vegetables.

If it were ordinary lords, they would have rushed forward, and no matter what method they used, they would have to get their own territory.

However, they did not dare to Jiang Xingchen and the others, because they stood behind Dingbei Hou. After a year, they would not say anything else, but even the title was promoted from a little baron to a second-class viscount, which was several levels higher than them, and they would not dare to go even if they were scared.

But now, after hearing what the big man said, their minds are all active, and this is an opportunity to become successful.

"What do you think we should do?" the middle-aged man asked the big man.

"Is it just keeping a distance from him and not having a relationship with him?" the hunchbacked old man also asked.

"It's not good not to go, I saw that the tax officer and the sheriff's family of Hongyuan City have all come..." said another little lord.

The big man said: "Of course you have to go. Now these families in Hongyuan City have the final say. We cannot offend... However, we don't give gifts, just act casually! If you have the chance, try to scare Jiang Xingchen, and you will get the best skills to grow vegetables!"

As the saying goes, people die for money and birds die for food and interests are obsessed with the hearts of interests. The few little lords suddenly became excited and their minds were full of development of their own territory and making a fortune.

Several lords laughed, then stood up and left one after another.

The sun was burning hot, but the people in Qingshan Village didn't feel the heat at all. In the lord's mansion, Jiang Xingchen had already taken out a second piece of ice, and one piece of ice was not enough to eat. Especially with Zhao Danqing and the second brother, two foodies.

Last year, because of Mei'er's weak body, Jiang Xingchen still controlled her to prevent her from letting her eat more, for fear that it would be bad for her health.

But this year, Mei'er has activated Yuanquan and is no longer weak, so he no longer cares about it. The happiest thing is that Ni'er's little girl, who can finally eat with her belly open this year.

The most exaggerated thing is Zhao Danqing, who was shaved ice for the first time. He finished shaved ice in three bites, and then immediately ate a plate. Jiang Xingchen couldn't eat a few bites by himself, so he had to get a new one for him.

Wanrou, Xin'er, Han Xiaowu and the others were watching Zhao Danqing's way of eating, and they felt so cold that they were all froze.

After two pieces of ice were frozen, everyone had almost eaten, but Zhao Danqing actually didn't think it was enough.

The old man was shocked and glared and murmured, "Is this foodie a pure yang body? I have eaten more than twenty plates now. It seems to be stronger than that big foodie Luo Yu last time!"

In the end, Jiang Xingchen had to make another piece of ice and made seven or eight discs for Zhao Danqing, and that was the end.

Jiang Xingchen put the remaining ice in the box and threw it to Han Xiaowu, asking him to send it to Du Rushan, so that they could also cool down and cool down.

Song Ning and several other students are now familiar with everyone, and they feel more and more close to Xingchenling. There is nothing wrong with eating, drinking, living, and playing here. They all think that the decision to go home with Mei'er this time is really correct...

At night, Mei'er wanted to talk to her brother, but Mo Hongxian, Sun Sanqiang, and Xie Wanrou pulled Jiang Xingchen and chatted until late at night.

The little girl was unhappy, but she also knew that her brother was talking about the important things and did not disturb her.

The 29th June passed, and early on the 30th, the whole village was busy. Today is the 18th birthday of the Lord's adulthood, so of course he has to do a grand celebration.

Various ingredients were taken out, and more than a dozen large stoves were quickly set up on the drying yard in the village.

Jiang Xingchen could not take action on today's meals anyway. Mo Hongxian made a big move and actually transferred the chefs of two major restaurants from Hongyuan City.

Jiang Xingchen was stunned when he saw the chefs of the two major restaurants coming. He didn't expect Mo Hongxian to do this. This time, the two major restaurants could not operate normally for at least three days, and the losses were not a decimal.

With the chefs from two major restaurants, the villagers freed up their hands, more than 300 slaves, and the food of the 300 orcs still needed to be cooked, as did the 300 orcs.

The Duan family is responsible for the construction of the new town, so they don’t have to worry about it. However, Grandpa Fu still waved his hand and sent a large number of ingredients there.

While the chefs were busy, dozens of round tables were already placed on the streets of the village, with melon seeds, fruits, honey water and snacks all placed.

At this time, Mo Hongxian, Wanrou, Zhao Danqing and others all gave their gifts.

They all knew that Jiang Xingchen was rich, and no one gave him any valuable items, and they gave him all his favorite strange things.

Wanrou gave Jiang Xingchen a stone, the size of a palm, bright yellow, crystal clear, and warm and shiny.

"Tianhuang!" Jiang Xingchen's eyes widened after seeing this. If such a large piece of Tianhuang stone was placed on the earth, it would be valuable and old.

"Good thing, if this is made into a craft, and a little means will definitely cause a trend among the nobles in the future... This can make a lot of money!"

Jiang Xingchen laughed in his heart, thanked him immediately, and took Tian Huang with both hands.

Zhao Danqing gave a handful of black seeds. According to him, this one was found in the vast mountains. It seemed like a vegetable, but I was not sure.

Jiang Xingchen thanked him, took it, and felt it. I wonder if it was too long and I could no longer feel the vitality.

Next, Sun Sanqiang, second brother, and fourth brother all gave their own gifts. Song Ning and the other two were not free, but the things they gave were the best silk.

When Mo Hongxian finally brought the gift, the second brother and the fourth brother covered their mouths and stared at Jiang Xingchen tightly.

Mo Hongxian sent a rectangular box. After Jiang Xingchen took it, he opened it and saw that he shook his hands and threw it out.

"Puff! Hahahaha..." Mo Hongxian, the second brother and the others burst into laughter. They had expected this situation long ago.

Jiang Xingchen's forehead was leaping with blue veins. Just now, he opened the lid of the box and made black flesh bugs the size of his index finger. His two sharp jaws opened and closed, making a harsh friction sound, which made his hair stand up all over his body.

"Little brother, this is a good thing. I took a lot of effort to find it... This is a black silkworm, and the number is very small. The silk woven from the silkworms it spits is the best. It has no market value. The empire can't spend more than ten meters a year... Of course, the silk of these silkworms is definitely not enough to weave silk, but can't you raise everything, hehe..."

Mo Hongxian reached out to catch the box and explained with a smile.

"Oh?" After hearing Mo Hongxian's words, Jiang Xingchen's eyes lit up immediately. He no longer cared about their jokes. He reached out and snatched the box back.

After looking carefully, Jiang Xingchen also laughed: "Thank you, Sister Hongxian!"

At this time, a person from the Shocking Mercenary Group came and said to Jiang Xingchen: "Sir, the lords of several villages around are here!"

"Oh!" Jiang Xingchen nodded and said, "Please come in and sit down!"

As he said, Jiang Xingchen didn't move. He was a second-class viscount, so of course he couldn't go to greet several barons.

At this time, at the entrance of the village, several lords of the village were smiling and watching inside! Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves in their ears, and a fast horse rushed to them, and one of them turned over and dismounted, and shouted: "The Seventh Army, come and congratulate Viscount Jiang Xingchen on his birthday!"
