"Senior Qu, you're finally here! Come in quickly, come in quickly!" A thin old man wearing a purple-gold Taoist robe bowed and saluted with a smile on his face, "Clouded Leopard, hurry up and let Xiaocui do the best.
The honey orchid fairy tea is ready and brought to the living room!".
"Yes!" Next to him, a middle-aged man who had cultivated in the alchemy stage and looked somewhat similar to the old man hurriedly bowed to the visitor, turned around and left.
After everyone was divided into guests and hosts, the old man in purple and gold Taoist robes clasped his fists respectfully and said, "Senior Qu can come here at the invitation, which really brings great glory to our Liu family! I have invited all the chefs from Yin Dingxuan in Changqing City.
When we get to the mansion, we will pick up the wind and cleanse the dust for Senior Qu later!"
"That's all." Sitting on the Taishi chair next to the old man is a man who looks to be in his thirties. He is wearing a black robe, has a slim waist, a tall build, a square face, a beard, and straight and majestic features.
Linlin said, "Liu Jinhu, if you hadn't asked Xue Lian of the Xiaoyao Sect to invite me, I wouldn't have interfered with your affairs at all. Tell me, what do you want at the Yun family's birthday party tomorrow?"
"Senior Qu, please allow me to explain it to you in detail." The old man said with a smile, "Senior Qu doesn't know something. There are two big families in Changqing City, known as the 'Eastern Yunxi Liu'.
The West Liu refers to my Liu family in the West City, and the Dongyun refers to the Yun family in the East City. Our two families took root in Changqing City hundreds of years ago. There are inns, wine shops, cloth shops, and tea shops in Changqing City.
There are many shops such as brothels and brothels, as well as auction houses and treasure pavilions that serve monks. Eighty percent of them belong to our Liu and Yun families. For hundreds of years, our two families have been evenly matched.
They are comparable. In the past, when the Yun family was at its peak, there were four people in the Yuan Ying stage and eight people in the Dan formation stage. They forced me at every turn and took away my copper mine, two iron mines, and our shop.
A few times, it’s really too much!
"But now, the Yun family has long lost its former glory. There is only one person left at the Nascent Soul stage, and only five people at the Core Formation stage. On the other hand, in my Liu family, all five of my brothers have reached the Yuanying stage.
The eight members of the younger generation are also in the Dan-formation stage. If Changqing City had not strictly prohibited conquests between Taoist families, our Liu family would have been able to destroy the Yun family long ago."
The man in black robe picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and said slowly: "You invited me here, do you really just want me to give you a boost?"
"Senior Qu, I'm telling you the truth," Liu Jinhu took out a jade box from the storage ring and put it on the table, pushing it in front of the man in black robe, "Senior Qu is invited to come this time because he wants to ask Senior Qu to support us and build momentum.
, I also want to ask Senior Qu to sit in charge of us brothers - although the ancestor of the Yun family is at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, he is only one person after all, and he can't sing alone! What if he has the idea of fighting to the death for the sake of the birthday banquet?
For the safety of our guests, we need to ask Senior Qu to help us suppress it."
The black-robed man's spiritual power invaded the jade box, and when he saw that it was the reward he had agreed upon before, he put the jade box into the storage ring. "Okay, but if I really need to take action..."
"Add more money, add more money, and naturally you won't treat Senior Qu badly!"
"Okay, then, let's talk about your specific arrangements!"
"We want to force him to give up several mines outside the city to our Liu family during the birthday banquet. If he doesn't comply, I will..."
Listen to Liu Jinhu's plan

After saying that, the man in black robe said: "I, Qu Wuming, have always been paid to do things. Now that I have accepted your reward, I will agree to your request. However, you are involved in a family business dispute, and I also want to inquire about it.
However, the Yun family has not done anything treacherous or evil, so I just sit back and do not take action or hurt anyone."
"Yes, yes, with Senior Qu in charge, our Liu family will definitely be able to severely defeat the Yun family's prestige this time and drive them out of Changqing City! Hahaha..."
Seeing that Qu Wuming agreed, Liu Jinhu finally felt relieved and thought to himself: "Humph, with Qu Wuming sitting in charge, I want to see what else you Yunhua can do! Thousand-year-old birthday banquet? I'll do it tomorrow.
Let you hold a funeral banquet!"
…
On the second day, in front of a large mansion in the eastern suburbs of Changqing City.
There is a plaque hanging across the gate of the tall courtyard with the three characters "Qingyun Garden" written on it, which is powerful and powerful, with dragons and phoenixes dancing. The large stone lions on both sides of the gate are hung with red silk and hydrangeas, and even the courtyard walls are hung with red ones.
Silk, if you didn't know that the ancestor of the Yun family was celebrating his birthday here, people who didn't know would probably think that someone in this house was getting married for a wedding. Through the high courtyard wall, you could hear faint sounds in the courtyard from a distance.
The sound of silk and bamboo.
It was almost noon when Liu Jinhu and others brought Qu Wuming to Qingyun Garden. The guests at the birthday banquet had already been seated, and only a few servants were left sweeping the house at the entrance.
Seeing Liu Jinhu and his group of more than a dozen people approaching, the servant at the gate hurriedly came over to greet him, cupped his fists and saluted, "I wonder if any of the distinguished guests have invitations?"
"Get out of here!" Liu Yunbao, who was dressed in a strong suit, waved his hand, and the power of his spiritual consciousness came out, pushing the servant to fall out. Seeing that several more servants saw this and wanted to run back to report the news, Liu Yunbao
After taking a few steps and raising their hands, the servants fainted immediately.
Qu Wuming frowned slightly when he saw this. The power of his spiritual consciousness detected that the servants were not seriously injured, but just unconscious, so he did not say anything to stop them. Liu Yunbao felt proud, so he walked ahead to open the way.
"This Qingyun Garden is the newly built house of the Yun family for this birthday banquet. I had only heard before that it occupies an extremely large area and is extremely luxurious. Now that I saw it, it was indeed the case!" Liu Jinhu put his hands behind his back and looked around as he walked, following
Said his brothers next to him.
"Hmph, it is said to be a sixth-floor courtyard. It seems that the Yun family wants to regard this as their new ancestral home." Liu Yinhu said with a cold snort.
Liu Tiehu looked at the exotic flowers and plants everywhere in the first-level courtyard, the rockeries and rocks everywhere, the winding paths leading to secluded places, and the scenery at every step. There was a greedy look in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "In the future, I can let the generals of the Yun family
The house here is given to our family."
Liu Tonghu nodded and agreed: "Although it is a bit tacky, I did put some thought into it. It is good to entertain guests here. I wonder what is in the second courtyard?"
When everyone walked to the second courtyard, bypassing a screen wall, a large artificial lake came into view. Weeping willows brushed the shore, blue waves rippled, colorful lotuses bloomed, and koi fish flocked. A winding corridor passed through the lake, connecting a
Pavilions, terraces and waterside pavilions are connected together. Under the cover of the rockery and strange rocks, it feels like you have stepped into a water town resort again, quiet and pleasant.
When they walked through the second courtyard, the noise suddenly hit their faces. The first thing that caught their eyes was the Bodhi trees every five feet or so. I don’t know where they came from.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Wherever they were transplanted, most of them were probably dozens of years old. The tall and lush crowns were like giant umbrellas, casting vast swaths of shade. The ground was neatly laid with blue stones.
, there are hundreds of round tables arranged in the huge courtyard. At this moment, the courtyard is full of people, the food is fragrant, the wine is overflowing, and it is very lively. The children of the Yun family, relatives and friends are sitting down.
The conversation was endless, and there were hundreds of people just coming and going between the wine tables and serving food.
Liu Jinhu looked from a distance and saw that the ancestor of the Yun family was leading the current head of the Yun family, accompanied by three or four core members of the family, to toast. He couldn't help but have a sneer on his face, and he used his skills and said loudly:
"Haha, it's quite lively. It seems that your Yun family really values this old guy like you!"
This sentence seemed to be said casually, but it was said with magic power, and it was clearly transmitted to the ears of everyone present.
"Liu Jinhu!" Yun Hua, the ancestor of the Yun family, suddenly frowned.
"Haha, it's Liu." Following a burst of sneer, Liu Jinhu led the people and walked over slowly. Along the way, two Yun family members wanted to step forward to stop them, but Liu Yunbao pushed them to the corner with a gentle wave of his hand.
"Who do I think it is? It turns out to be the Five Tigers and Eight Leopards of the Liu family! It seems that I never invited you!"
"Hehehe, you Yunhua celebrated your thousandth birthday. We live in the same city of Changqing. How could we not come to congratulate you?" Liu Jinhu said with a smile.
At this time, the ancestor of the Yun family, Yun Hua, also noticed Qu Wuming behind Liu Jinhu. Although he did not recognize him, he felt a little uneasy, but his face did not change: "Then thank you, ancestor of the Liu family, for giving me this face! Now that you are here,
Now that we are guests, would you like to sit down and have a drink together?"
"I just wished you a happy birthday," Liu Jinhu said with a grin, "now it's time to talk to you about something serious."
Yunhua frowned slightly and asked coldly: "What do you want to say?"
"It's rare that everyone from your Yun family is here today. Even many relatives and friends are here. The five tigers and eight leopards of our Liu family are all here today. I just want to take the opportunity to inform your Yun family that after the birthday banquet is finished,
, just sell the mines in Huangyeling to our Liu family, the price is easy to negotiate! We will still be harmonious old neighbors in Changqing City from now on, haha."
"What if I don't agree?"
"Don't agree? Hehe, you still think that the Liu family of today is the Liu family of those days. Will you tolerate your refusal? If you don't agree, I'm afraid there won't be any problems with the Yun family in Changqing City in the future."
"You!" Yunhua suppressed his anger and was about to explode, but was interrupted by a burst of laughter from behind.
"Hahahaha... I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Yun would be so proud that he could even invite the famous Qu Wuming to celebrate his thousand-year-old birthday?"
Liu Jinhu raised his eyes and looked up, but did not recognize the other person. He saw that the person speaking was wearing a blue Taoist robe. He looked about sixty or seventy years old, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, with white beard and hair, and three strands of long beard floating on his chest and in his arms.
Holding a black whisk, you can't see the other person's cultivation level, but you can feel the charm of the other person's immortal style, as if he is detached from this world.
Liu Jinhu frowned and was about to scold him, but unexpectedly Qu Wuming had already walked past him in a flash.
