Zhenshanhou Mansion is decorated with lanterns and festoons.
No matter whether it is a concubine, a prince or a prince, a birthday party will either not be held, or if it is held, there will definitely be a lot of ostentation.
This is the best occasion for those who want to make friends with powerful people and climb up the ladder. You can meet a lot of high-status people. If you can leave a good impression, it will be more convenient for you to do things in the future. If you can make friends One or two, the benefits are greater.
If you don't enter the capital, you don't know how little money you have, and if you don't enter the capital, you don't know how small the officials are.
In the royal capital, there are not only princes and princes, but also many wealthy families.
Outside the Zhenshanhou Mansion, the welcome team lined up on both sides, spreading thirty meters long, with a red carpet in the middle.
As the owner of Zhenshanhou Mansion, Zhenshanhou would not stand at the gate to greet guests, and the protagonist of the birthday banquet, Xiao Mingli, could not stand at the gate to welcome guests, but the butler of the Hou Mansion must be there, because the guests who come The identities are often different, and we cannot neglect them.
But those princes rarely come in person. After all, it is not the birthday of Zhenshanhou, but the birthday of Zhenshanhou’s daughter. It is appropriate for the higher person to send a gift.
Young talents will come here in person. Anyway, this is the birthday party of the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenshan. Xiao Mingli has the title of national scholar, which means amazing talent and potential. He is also a beautiful beauty. Who doesn't like it? .
It would be great if he could get Xiao Mingli's favor and associate with him. After all, there are really not many outstanding female warriors.
Chen Zong also came from a distance, and then met the fat man Yang Qifeng.
"Brother Chen." Yang Qifeng smiled and did not call Chen Zong Chen Guoshi.
"Brother Yang." Chen Zong smiled slightly.
"Brother Chen, thank you for saving your life last time." Yang Qifeng said, referring to the fact that Chen Zong saved his life from Ma Qianli's knife when he was chasing Hua Xie Ma Qianli.
"You have thanked me four times." Chen Zong was speechless.
"The grace of saving life is greater than the heavens. I don't even know how to repay you, brother Chen. If it's a daughter, I'll just agree to it." Yang Qifeng laughed, with a smile on his face, but his words were sincere.
"If you were a daughter, I wouldn't dare to take it." Chen Zong glanced at Yang Qifeng's chubby figure, and said with a teasing smile.
"Wow, if I were a daughter, I would definitely be enchanting, okay?" Yang Qifeng jumped up as if he was being trampled on his painful feet, and argued. Immediately, his small eyes narrowed, shining brightly, and after looking at Chen Zong several times Showing a look of sudden realization, he patted himself on the head with his chubby palm: "I'm so stupid, I just realized now, brother Chen, I'm a little fatter, but I have a younger sister with an absolutely enchanting figure. I decide to betroth her to You, we will be family from now on."
As he said that, Yang Qifeng wanted to greatly appreciate his wit.
You know, Chen Zong is a national scholar, and his talent and potential are astonishing. It is not a problem to reach the pseudo-transcendent realm in the future. Maybe he can become the number one powerhouse under the dynasty's super-mortal realm like that mighty Marquis Wu.
If such a genius can become his brother-in-law, it will be of great benefit to himself and the entire Yang family.
The more he thought about it, the more Yang Qifeng felt that it was feasible, it was a brilliant move.
Chen Zong couldn't help being a little speechless.
"Okay, the joke ends here." Chen Zongdao interrupted fat Yang Qifeng's fantasy.
Not to mention how outstanding Yang Qifeng's younger sister is, at this stage, Chen Zong would not think about it.
Yang Qifeng is also a wonderful person, he could naturally hear the meaning of Chen Zong's words, he couldn't help feeling sorry, but he didn't get entangled, otherwise he would cause resentment, and he wouldn't even be a friend.
However, Yang Qifeng will not give up so easily, will he plot slowly? It is always a good thing to make Chen Zong and himself a family.
Chen Zong didn't know Yang Qifeng's plan, so he walked to the gate of Zhenshan Hou Mansion, and took out the invitation that Xiao Mingli gave him.
Yang Qifeng also had an invitation card, but it was not sent by Xiao Mingli. With the wealth of the Yang family, it is not difficult to get an invitation card.
Immediately, a maid took Chen Zong and Yang Qifeng to the place where the birthday banquet was held, which was a garden in Zhenshanhou's Mansion, named Yunhu Garden.
When stepping into the Yunhu Garden, Chen Zong was slightly surprised, because there was a lake in the Yunhu Garden, and the birthday banquet was held on a man-made island in the center of the lake.
There is a distance of almost 300 meters from the gate of Yunhu Garden to the central island.
"You two distinguished guests, please go to the central island on your own." The maid who led the way said with a smile.
Chen Zong and Yang Qifeng nodded. The 300-meter lake is really difficult for Qi and blood warriors to pass, and they need to use tools, such as boats, etc., but it is nothing for Jinjing warriors.
"Brother Chen, let's compare who is faster." Yang Qifeng smiled immediately, and leaped forward, seeing that his fat body was flexible and light. The person flew forward quickly again, almost sticking to the surface of the lake, and flew towards the small island in the center.
Chen Zong smiled slightly, without any gestures, as if being blown by a gust of wind, his body seemed to lose weight, and moved forward like a feather, floating out lightly.
Although light, the speed is very fast. In the blink of an eye, he passed more than ten meters and approached Yang Qifeng. Then, the toes of the toes lightly touched the lake surface, and the toes of the shoes were not wet. He immediately flew forward and directly passed Yang Qifeng, leaving behind a shadow .
The distance of 300 meters is easily crossed.
Afterwards, Yang Qifeng also crossed the 300-meter lake and landed on the small island in the center.
Yang Qifeng was not surprised that his speed was not as good as Chen Zong's.
The central island is about 200 meters in length and 200 meters in width. An exquisite wooden house is built on it. Outside the wooden house, there are many tables of different shapes, with drinks, fruits and so on.
This is Xiao Mingli's birthday banquet, and it is also a gathering for the younger generation. As for those who came here on behalf of princes, most of them will leave after giving gifts.
"Chen Guoshi, welcome." Xiao Mingli, dressed in fine clothes, walked over, smiling like a flower in full bloom. For a moment, Chen Zong became the focus.
Chen Zong also sent the gift he had prepared.
Speaking of which, Chen Zong didn't know what gift to give Xiao Mingli for a while, a fake spiritual weapon
It is not suitable, and Chen Zong is not willing, because it is useful to him.
Ask Shi Huanyue, because she is a woman, but Shi Huanyue doesn't care much about other things except the sword. In the end, Guanfu prepared a gift for him. Some valuable things can be seen, but they have no real effect .
Whether it was being greeted by Xiao Mingli, winning the National Scholars recently, or beating Yuwen Xing in the Thorny Forest Competition in the National Scholars Hall, etc., the name of Chen Zong spread throughout the capital.
At this time, three figures flew back and forth across the lake.
The first one is like a big bird, sticking to the surface of the lake, and he has not moved his hands or feet, as if he is flying in the sky, but the lake surface below him is constantly rippling, as if being hit by an invisible force again and again.
The second figure is with his hands behind his back, his long robe fluttering, his long body standing erect and his feet still, but it seems to be gliding on the surface of the lake, as if he is stepping on a big fish at an astonishing speed.
The third figure moved quickly with both feet, constantly stepping on the lake surface, creating ripples.
No matter which one it is, it will bring a very direct impact to people. Chen Zong narrowed his eyes slightly, and it can be seen that these three people have a high degree of control over their own power.
"Brother Yang, do you know those three?" Chen Zong asked.
In fact, the time since I came to the capital is not long, and most of the time I have been practicing, I don't know much about the genius of the capital, even if I know the name, I have never seen a real person.
"Of course I know each other, those three are amazing." Yang Qifeng said coquettishly, "They are the second, third and fourth on the Dynasty Flood Dragon Ranking."
Hearing this, Chen Zong was very surprised.
There are ninety-nine people on the Dynasty Dragon Ranking, each of them has amazing combat power, at least reaching the level of the initial four-star level, very strong, and those who rank higher even reach the level of the six-star level.
Those ranked second, third, and fourth are naturally geniuses with six-star combat power.
"Those three have six-star mid-term combat power, and it is said that they are not satisfied with the ranking." Yang Qifeng said in a low voice, as if talking about some gossip.
Chen Zong nodded. This makes sense, because the three are all six-star mid-term combat power, at the same level, but some are ranked second, some are ranked third, and some are ranked fourth. Naturally, they are not convinced.
The arrival of these three people undoubtedly increased the enthusiasm of the birthday party a lot, and Xiao Mingli also warmly welcomed it.
Of these three, although only one is a national scholar and the other two are not, no one dares to underestimate them.
A national scholar is indeed a symbol, but it does not mean omnipotent. Some people cannot become a national scholar because of bad luck. After all, under normal circumstances, there is only one national scholar each year. Obtained, and each person has only three chances to participate in the National Scholars election.
"Here we come." While Chen Zong was thinking, Yang Qifeng straightened up, his small eyes shone with astonishing light, which faintly turned into two sharp rays of light that shot out.
Following Yang Qifeng's line of sight, on the shore of the lake 300 meters away, it was at the entrance of Yunhu Garden that a figure was coming. He was not tall, neither fat nor thin, with a moderate figure and ordinary appearance. It's hard to spot where it stands out.
Dressed in black, he looked even more ordinary.
However, Chen Zong couldn't look away, he felt a threat from that person.
It was not hostility, but a threat brought by great strength, as if the opponent's body contained astonishing power, and Yang Qifeng's words let Chen Zong know the source of that threat, and he was shocked.
"Brother Chen, his name is Ding Xuan. He is number one on the Dynasty Flood Dragon Ranking, and he is also the number one fighter in the younger generation." Yang Qifeng said, his words were full of admiration: "His combat power is as high as a six-star late stage. It is said that he His cultivation has broken through the limit of strength training and reached the Great Perfection."
"Dzogchen!" Chen Zong's heart shook involuntarily.
It is Chen Zong's goal to practice the Great Perfection in the Strength Realm, but until now, Chen Zong still doesn't know how to achieve the Great Perfection. After all, there is a lot of luck involved in the practice of the Great Perfection in the Qi and Blood Realm .
