Xiang Zhanxiong stroked his beard and nodded with a smile. The more he looked at his grandson, the happier he felt as if he had eaten honey.
Xiang Nan opened the red cloth covering the tray first, and saw two things lying inside.
One is a red invitation card, and the other is a glittering golden card.
The referee said: "This invitation is for the city lord to invite Xiang Nan to attend the town election celebration banquet tonight."
"And this storage card contains more than three million gold coins, which are the bets you won for today's big victory. I personally delivered it to you as agreed."
"Three million?" The onlookers suddenly exclaimed.
Even Xiang Zhanxiong and Xiang Shaohua's father and son were taken aback. They never heard that Xiang Nan had won the bet!
Because the news of Xiang Nan's victory in the battle was so shocking that everyone rushed to tell everyone how powerful Xiang Nan was and how brilliant he was.
But none of them publicized that Xiang Nan had won the bet, probably because the viewers felt that their faces were shamed, so they deliberately avoided this matter.
Xiang Zhanxiong laughed until now, his smiling face was a little stiff, but he was still surprised one after another.
Earlier, Xiang Nan sent back five million gold coins and a lot of herbs, and now he has won another three million gold coins! This time, the Xiang family is set to turn over!
As for those guests, they all looked at Xiang Nan enviously, and they all envied Xiang Zhanxiong for having such a good grandson.
Look at people! The City Lord's Mansion personally sent two hundred city guards to send invitations! What a status.
Xiang Nan accepted the invitation with a smile, and handed the storage card to his grandfather Xiang Zhanxiong.
Then, he clasped his hands to the many guests, and said: "Thank you uncles and uncles for coming to congratulate, but please make amends, I'm going back to Qingshi City now, to attend the city lord's celebration banquet."
Everyone hurriedly cupped their fists and cupped their hands, expressing their understanding.
"That's natural, Xiao Nan doesn't need to be so polite."
"That's right, it's a big deal for the city lord to personally invite you, and of course the most important thing."
The referee smiled and said to Xiang Zhanxiong: "Brother Zhanxiong, let's go to the City Lord's Mansion together, you and our City Lord have not been together for a long time."
This sentence made Xiang Zhanxiong feel very happy, he just felt that he lost his face for many years, and today he found it all back.
However, Xiang Zhanxiong still cupped his fists to apologize, and said: "I, Sun Xiaonan, can just go there alone, and Xiang has no skills at all, so I have to stay to greet the guests."
"Well, it's understandable." The referee nodded sensibly: "Then please find some time to get together with the city lord another day, our lord the city lord misses you very much."
"Okay Xiaonan, let's go."
"Grandpa, father, mother, Xiao Nan is gone." Xiang Nan waved goodbye to his family and headed for Qingshi City with many city guards.
When they arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, there were already crowds of horses and horses outside the City Lord's Mansion.
The town election was not limited to Qingshi Town, there were six other towns, large and small, and the top forty winners of each town's town election were invited.
The other families were Ding Xingwang, so naturally the elders brought the juniors to the celebration banquet, but Xiang Nan was the only one who came alone, looking a bit lonely.
At the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, people from various towns and families were visiting each other and making room for each other, all crowding at the gate.
Xiang Nan still felt strange, why those people didn't enter the mansion, and they were all crowded here to do something.
Only when we got closer did we realize that Hong Zhen, the city lord, was standing at the door! All the family members naturally did not dare to pass Hong Zhen, and entered the mansion first.
"Xiao Nan, but you're here!" The stalwart city lord Hong Zhen laughed loudly in the innermost part of the crowd.
Xiang Nan was taken aback, and said in surprise, "City Lord, are you... are you welcoming me?"
"Of course I welcome you." Hong Zhen laughed and pushed away the crowd, walking straight towards Xiang Nan.
Everyone didn't dare to enter the mansion without permission, but stayed at the door waiting for the city lord to enter the mansion, and the city lord did this just to welcome a Xiang Nan? That's a little too much treatment.
And the young children of those families who won the victory originally thought that being able to attend the celebration banquet was a great thing to have a bright face, but at this time, compared with Xiang Nan, they felt both envious and jealous.
Especially the Wang family, Li family, and Mo family in Qingshi Town were also among the crowd.
They were secretly staring at Xiang Nan, who received special treatment, with ugly faces.
"This..." Sensing everyone's gaze, Xiang Nan said humbly, "Thanks to the invitation of the city lord, Xiang Nan is so honored, how dare he bother the city lord to go out to greet him in person."
The city lord patted Xiang Nan on the shoulder heartily, and said, "Before the town election, you came to the city lord's mansion in person to strive for a place in the competition, so courageous!"
"In order to participate in the town election, I did not hesitate to sign a life-and-death contract, how courageous!"
"In the town election, you alone fought against the heroes and won the first place, what a hero!"
The city lord seemed to want to say these words deliberately for others to listen to, and his voice was raised several times.
He grabbed Xiang Nan's right hand and said, "Such a courageous and courageous young hero deserves to be greeted personally by me, Hong Zhen!"
"Come on, Xiang Nan, enter the mansion together with Uncle Hong! Let's celebrate the victory!"
Under everyone's eyes, Hong Zhen actually pulled Xiang Nan into the mansion hand in hand!
When everyone saw this scene, they knew it well. If they couldn't even see the meaning of the city lord, they would be really stupid.
Xiang Nan has truly become the number one celebrity in the eyes of City Lord Hong Zhen!
Inside the City Lord's Mansion.
Six towns, each with forty winners, a total of two hundred and forty people.
Among them, only the top five masters in each town, a total of 30 people, and their family members and elders can sit in the living room of the City Lord's Mansion.
The other winners and their families sat down in the main courtyard outside Ying's living room to participate in the celebration banquet.
Because in the town election competition in Qingshi Town, Xiang Nan won a complete victory from the first to the last, so the second, third, fourth and fifth places were not able to be separated.
Therefore, Xiang Nan, Wang Jinghai, Li Lingfeng, and Mo Qi entered the living room.
There are many seats in the living room, but they are also occupied by people from various families.
The chief seat is naturally the seat of the city lord Hong Zhen, and there are six seats next to him, which are occupied by the champions of the six towns, and they are divided into the left and right sides of the city lord Hong Zhen.
After Xiang Nan took his seat, he saw people from the Wang family, the Li family, and the Mo family at first sight.
What deserves Xiang Nan's attention is that in the last competition of the town election, the young man from the Wang family who used peanuts to attack him unexpectedly was also included in the Wang family!
When Xiang Nan was looking at the man, the man was also looking at Xiang Nan.
The gazes of the two met in the air, but there was a playful expression in the young man's eyes.
This kind of look made Xiang Nan feel a little weird. It is said that the Wang family has lost so much face now, so they should try to stay away from him as much as possible, but the young man of the Wang family seems to have a well-thought-out look.
