In the afternoon of the second day, a carriage drove out of the pine garden, turned through several streets, and then headed towards the main palace of Liuye City.
When Ming Zhiyuan and Yu Yizhi arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, the place was already very lively. Liuye City Lord placed the banquet place in a large landscape garden in the front mansion. In the garden, the four chiefs of Liuye City were already there.
When they arrived, there were also some prominent people in the city, people from the Zhuang family and people from the Wei family.
The most conspicuous ones are of course the three city lords.
Seeing Ming Zhiyuan arriving, the three city lords immediately came up and pulled Ming Zhiyuan to sit with them. Dongshan City Lord looked happy and first said: "Young Master, I have prepared all the medicinal materials.
I was thinking of sending it to the pine garden early tomorrow morning, please check it."
"Oh, Dongshan City Lord is so fast? There are so many geniuses and treasures, it is not easy to collect them. I didn't expect that you actually gathered all the medicinal materials in a short time. It seems that Dongshan City Lord has a group of people who are very capable of doing things.
Subordinate."
Ming Zhiyuan said with a smile.
The Lord of Sixiang City looked at the Lord of Dongshan with some disapproval. How did Gao Dongshan gather the medicinal materials? Who among them doesn't know? Didn't he just rob the old man from the Liu Mansion and collect most of them? The rest, say
Is it to collect, or is it not a matter of overt and covert competition? Is there anything missing?
It’s not that Sixiang City Lord looked down on Dongshan City Lord’s actions, it was just that he was dissatisfied because he didn’t catch up with such a good thing and was overtaken by Dongshan City Lord.
Shen Gannan was still smiling and said to Ming Zhiyuan: "Master You, why do you only bring one bodyguard with you when you go out? You have a valuable status and cannot be careless. You must protect yourself."
Ming Zhiyuan said casually: "I'm just a medical person, and I don't have anything valuable on me. How can I talk about my status? I don't compete with others for territory. No one will covet me, so there is no need to worry about this.
Already."
"That's not necessarily the case. Young Master You has special skills. If there is someone who wants to coerce Young Master You to refine elixirs for him alone, or threatens Young Master You to make us, the city lords, then there's really no way to say that.
allow."
The Lord of Dongshan City suddenly said these words, and after he finished speaking, he said solemnly: "Young Master You still needs to add more guards."
Ming Zhiyuan blinked, looked at Dongshan City Lord with some meaning, and said: "Force me to refine the elixir?"
After he finished speaking, he laughed a few times, paused, and continued: "That's really crazy. You have to force him to dare to eat the elixir I refined."
When he said these words, the Lord of Sixiang City and the Lord of Gannan City burst into laughter.
The Lord of Dongshan City laughed a few times in embarrassment, and said: "That's true. When have the miracle doctors been coerced by warriors? I was wrong."
Ming Zhiyuan looked at Dongshan City Lord and nodded, always feeling that this guy seemed to mean something when he said this.
Several people talked about collecting medicinal materials again. Ming Zhiyuan glanced at the garden, but did not see Liuye City Master, and he did not know why she had not come to entertain the guests.
After a while, a group of guards suddenly walked in at the gate of the garden. Immediately afterwards, they saw Lord Liuye walking in accompanied by an old man who was nearly sixty years old. The two of them walked into the garden and said with a smile.
What are you wearing?
Sixiang City Lord glanced at the old man and his eyebrows suddenly furrowed. Dongshan City Lord looked at the two people who walked in with a calm expression.
Shen Gannan stood up and walked towards the two people. He smiled and said loudly: "Oh, it turns out that Brother Tie is here. I said no wonder I can't see the figure of Sister Zhenru. It turns out that I went to pick up Brother Tie. "
The old man who walked in with City Master Liuye heard the sound, raised his head and looked this way, and then smiled and said: "Brother Shen is here too. I just heard City Master Liu say that you guys are also here. It seems that you all have better information than me."
At this time, Sixiang City Lord and Dongshan City Lord also stood up and bowed their hands to the old man together.
Ming Zhiyuan was sitting in the chair. He didn't know the old man, and he didn't need to take the initiative to say hello. Instead, the Lord of Sixiang City came closer to him, looked at the old man over there, and said softly: "This is Tie Zhen of Zhenxia City. The Lord of Xia City."
"Oh, that's it." Ming Zhiyuan nodded and responded.
Liuye City Lord led the Zhenxia City Lord towards them. When they got closer, he smiled and said to Zhenxia City Lord: "Let me introduce to Iron City Lord, this is the only one of the miracle doctor lineage. The heir, You Buyi, is the master of You."
"Young Master You, this is the Lord of Xia City, Iron Town, from Zhenxia City."
Ming Zhiyuan stood up pretending to be in a hurry, raised his hands to the old man and said, "It turns out that you are the Iron City Lord of Zhenxia City. You are one of the top five martial masters in Lingding Continent. You have met the Iron City Lord."
Although the owner of the iron city is quite old, he looks very energetic. He stands upright, has a slightly burly figure, a square face, two thick eyebrows, bright eyes, a slightly aquiline nose, and very lips. Thin, it seems that people are a bit mean.
At this time, he looked at the young man in front of him and was secretly surprised. He came to Liuye City from Zhenxia City and listened to the story of this miracle doctor's successor all the way to Liuye City.
From the time when the Yuan Yuan Dan appeared in the Hongye Auction House, until today when the Lord of Liuye City picked him up at the gate of Liuye City, he told him about breaking through the realm and entering the peak realm of Martial Lord.
It was difficult for him to associate the person who could refine such a magical elixir with the young man in front of him with pure eyes and a hint of youthfulness in his face.
After seeing Ming Zhiyuan salute first, he also smiled heartily and said: "Young Master You is really young and promising. You are a descendant of the line of miracle doctors. We old guys will still be able to rely on You in the future." There are so many, our Lingding Continent can have a miracle doctor reappear, this is God giving us Lingding Continent warriors an opportunity."
After that, he took a step forward, patted Ming Zhiyuan on the shoulder, and continued: "Even if we have gotten to know each other, we should ask Mr. You to take more care of me, an old man, in the future."
Ming Zhiyuan said with a smile: "This junior is just a junior student. Lord Tiecheng thinks so highly of me that I feel ashamed."
Tie Zhenxia took Ming Zhiyuan and sat down together, and then called to the other city lords: "Sit down, everyone, we are all old acquaintances, don't be so polite.
It’s rare for us to get together today to congratulate City Master Liuye for his improvement in martial arts. This is also a happy event for me in Lingding Continent. Let’s give City Master Liu a face tonight and let’s all have a few more drinks.”
Listening to his words of greeting, several people felt as if they were taking over the host's place, as if they were entertaining everyone on behalf of Lord Liuye.
Sixiang City Lord's eyebrows jumped, he sat back in his chair and said, "I didn't know that Iron City Lord and Liuye City Lord were so close to each other."
Dongshan City Lord's expression also changed a bit. He looked at Liuye City Lord who was also sitting next to him, then looked at Tie Zhenxia, and his eyebrows wrinkled slightly.
Shen Gannan still said with a smile: "I am really as generous as my sister. Zhenxia City and Liuye City are thousands of miles apart, and I can still be on good terms with the Lord of Iron City. Speaking of which, I, the Lord of Gannan City, have not done a good job with Liuye City. The city is not far away, and I still don’t move around much with Sister Zhenru on weekdays. Alas, the friendship is just a bit lacking.”
When everyone heard Shen Gannan's words, they smelled of jealousy. The Lord of Dongshan City laughed a few times but said nothing.
Liuye City Lord glanced at Gannan City Lord lightly, smiled slightly, and said: "This is not really treating you two lightly. In fact, when the two city lords came, they didn't inform me. I only learned about them from Mr. You. A city lord came to Liuye City."
When she said this, she paused again, looked at City Lord Dongshan and said, "Thanks to City Lord Gao for helping me lead the two City Lords to the Pine Garden, I was able to invite a few of them to the City Lord's Mansion for a banquet today."
As soon as Liuye City Lord said these words, both Dongshan City Lord and Sixiang City Lord were a little embarrassed. Only Gannan City Lord still said with a smile: "We also want to give you a surprise, sister Zhenru, but this is not done properly. If you offend me, Sister Zhenru, I will not dare to be so willful in the future. Whenever I come to Liuye City, I will inform Sister Zhenru early."
Hearing the words of Gannan City Lord, Liu Zhenru just smiled and did not answer.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Tie Zhenxia said: "Okay, that's all in the past, so there's no need to mention it again. It's just that City Lord Liu is now at the peak of martial arts, and we should all behave according to the rules in the future. yes."
The meaning of what he said was understood by everyone here. Compared with them in martial arts, Liu Zhenru may be a little inferior in strength, but everyone is in the same realm. At least they can be said to be on equal footing. This can't happen again in the future. There is something about entering Willow Leaf City without permission.
Ming Zhiyuan listened with interest on the sidelines. It seemed that as long as he entered a big city that was not owned by a city lord who was at the peak of Wu Zun, it would be fine. The big cities in Lingding Continent were not as united as he imagined.
He has been trying every means to cause conflicts and fights among the warriors in Lingding Continent. It seems that doing such a thing is not as slow or difficult as imagined.
If it were just a general battle over land and resources, perhaps those city lords who were not at the peak of martial arts would suffer, so they could just tolerate it. But once it comes to the battle for martial arts advancement, or even the battle for enlightenment, I am afraid that any warrior They will not give in. They would rather fight with their lives than endure.
While a few people were talking, the servants in the city lord's mansion had already started serving food. As the host, Liuye City Lord couldn't just stay at their table and talk. After saying hello to a few people, she went to talk to other people. The guests at the table exchanged pleasantries.
Tie Zhenxia kept chatting with Ming Zhiyuan. The other three city lords couldn't get in the conversation for a while and could only watch the two of them chatting animatedly.
The three people clinked their wine glasses and were drinking. A man who looked like a housekeeper hurriedly walked in from outside the garden. This man did not dare to enter the garden without permission. He just looked at Ming Zhiyuan and the others anxiously at the gate of the garden.
A table.
Ming Zhiyuan took a look and felt that the housekeeper looked like the person he brought with him when the Lord of Dongshan City came to Pine Garden last time.
The Lord of Dongshan City also saw the butler at this time. He frowned, put down his wine glass, and waved to the butler. The steward immediately ran all the way to behind the Lord of Dongshan City, but was not in a hurry to say anything, and accompanied several other people.
After putting on a smile, he whispered nervously to the Lord of Dongshan City: "There is something going on, and I would like to ask the Lord to move over and speak."
The Lord of Dongshan City glanced at the steward with a doubtful look, and then after talking to a few other people, he led the steward to the distant pavilion.
