For safety reasons, Lu Xuan and Su Ye did not even enter the city, and chose remote and quiet roads to walk. Fortunately, they both carried storage rings with them and had a lot of supplies, so they were not too embarrassed.
The main hall of Baicaotang is not in the imperial capital of the Kowloon Dynasty. After all, Baicaotang is not a subordinate force of the Kowloon Dynasty. It cannot set up the main hall in the core of the Kowloon Dynasty. Instead, it is set up in another important city of the Kowloon Dynasty - East Taicheng, but because Baicaotang has been stationed here for thousands of years, people prefer to call it Yaowang City.
At this moment, in the inner courtyard of the main hall of Baicaotang in Yaowang City, an old man with white beard and hair, but a ruddy complexion and looking quite energetic, is taking care of a medicine garden. If you take a closer look, you can see that in this medicine garden The spiritual materials grown in it are all extremely precious medicinal herbs. The lowest level is the seventh level of the human level, and the highest level is the third level of the earth level.
However, the spiritual materials that can be cultivated artificially, even if they are of the third grade of the earth level, are not as good as some special spiritual materials of the same level. The rarity of a medicinal material is not only linked to its grade, but also directly proportional to its difficulty of survival. For example, Lu Although the Hantan Peony that Xuan gave to Su Ye was only a fourth-grade earth-level spiritual material, in terms of rarity, it was probably comparable to a fifth-grade or even sixth-grade earth-level spiritual material. While the old man was concentrating on taking care of things, a middle-aged man in black came over. He saluted the old man and said, "Father, the children have made preparations for the birthday banquet. The heads of the major branch halls are also here. Quite a few, when will father meet them?"
There is no doubt that this old man is Su Hexuan, the master of Baicao Hall, who can be regarded as a brother to the emperor of the Kowloon Dynasty, and this middle-aged man in black is Su Hexuan's eldest son, Su Xuebo.
The name Su Xuebo. It was also taken by Su Hexuan himself. It originally meant that he should study hard and become a knowledgeable person. It's a pity that Su Xuebo is obsessed with martial arts and is not very interested in elixirs. Now his strength has reached the third level of Guiyuan Realm, but the art of refining medicine is just beginning, which makes Su Hexuan a little disappointed.
After hearing Su Xuebo's words, Su Hexuan straightened up, looked at the medicine garden intently, and said, "Zhongzhou seems to be making waves again recently. My birthday party is held at the wrong time."
Su Xuebo couldn't help but laugh and said: "What are you talking about, father? What does the matter between the Kowloon Dynasty and Beiboruo have to do with our Baicaotang? Isn't it just for the sake of stable development of our Baicaotang to make good friends with all major forces? Just wait and see. Just change." Su Hexuan shook his head, put his hands behind his back and said: "How can you stay completely out of the world of cultivation? A small pebble can cause the entire pond to ripple, not to mention Bei Bo Ruo is still A fourth-grade force.”
After a moment of silence, Su Hexuan said: "Inform all branch hall masters that the birthday banquet is cancelled. I understand their wishes and go back to their respective branches. We must ensure that the major branches of Baicao Hall are not affected by this incident. Influence."
After all, Su Hexuan is an old fox with an extremely keen sense of smell. He always feels that this time things are not that simple. At the critical moment, just a birthday banquet can be canceled if it is canceled. He cannot make fun of Baicao Hall's thousand-year foundation, otherwise he will be a hundred years later. How to face the ancestors of the Su family
But Su Xuebo was shocked when he heard this, and repeatedly advised: "Father, you don't have to be so cautious, right? You didn't organize the last few birthdays, and this is a rare occasion for your ninetieth birthday. How can you cancel it? Besides, all the branches are so grand. Isn’t it a bit bad that Lord Jun is so kind and worked so hard to come all the way here, and then they are separated like this?”
Su Hexuan chuckled and said: "What's wrong, just think that they have already wished me a birthday. To me, it is already a great achievement that they can manage the major branches of Baicao Hall."…
Seeing Su Hexuan's insistence, Su Xuebo hesitated, and after thinking about it, he suggested: "Father, it's better to do this. We can arrange it a few days in advance. At least we can give an explanation to the hall masters."
Su Hexuan touched his beard, nodded slightly and said: "That's okay, then let's set it for tomorrow. Keep everything simple so that those branch hall masters who haven't arrived yet will not come. By the way, where is Su Ye's little girl? , I haven’t seen her for several days, where did she go?”
"I guess I secretly prepared a birthday gift for you. Her bodyguards have also disappeared. They must have been taken out by her." Su Xuebo said with a smile.
"This child." Su Hexuan shook his head: "If you don't want me to worry about this troubled time, you can pass on the message and ask each branch to pay attention to her news. Once you see her, notify her to come back immediately."
"Understood, I'll do it right away. However, tomorrow's birthday banquet may be a bit hasty, so we might as well postpone it to the day after tomorrow."
"Well, you make the arrangements." Su Hexuan waved his hand.
The conversation between father and son ended here. After all, Su Xuebo went out to take care of various things, while Su Hexuan continued to take care of his medicine garden, but there was still a faint hint of sadness between his eyebrows. The experience accumulated over the years always gave him a A bad feeling.
The news that the old master of Baicao Hall was holding a birthday banquet the day after tomorrow spread throughout Yaowang City in an instant, and then even reached the palace of the Kowloon Dynasty.
"Brother Su is holding a birthday banquet tomorrow? If I remember correctly, it seems that his birthday will be four days later, right?" The speaker was wearing a golden dragon robe, and he stood there with an uneasy feeling. With an angry and powerful aura, he was clearly the current emperor of the Kowloon Dynasty, Xia Qi.
"It is said that it is because Mr. Su has seen the recent fluctuations in the situation and does not want to make a fuss about it, so he has advanced the schedule and kept everything simple." A handsome and handsome young man said with a smile. He was the fourth prince of the Kowloon Dynasty, Xia Xia. Xi, he was the one who conveyed the news to Xia Qi just now.
Xia Qi nodded slightly: "Brother Su has foresight. If Beibo dares to attack my dynasty without knowing what his intentions are, where does he have the courage?"
"It's just Bei Boruo, father, don't worry about it. Our dynasty has many soldiers and strong generals, how can we be afraid of him?" Xia Xi said aloud.
"Having said that, we should not take it lightly. There will be monsters if we use abnormal methods. Moreover, at this point, King Zhennan had an incident in Yang'an City and has lost contact so far. It always makes me a little worried." Xia Qi rubbed his hands. The forehead said that the loss of contact with King Zhennan was definitely a big deal, and he said he did not take Bei Boruo seriously. But in fact, he was still quite wary, but he immediately raised his eyebrows. The foundation and strength of the Kowloon Dynasty lay here. No matter whether Beibo is overt or dark, they all have the power to fight.
"Brother Su is celebrating his birthday this time. Due to emotions and reasons, everyone in the imperial court should go to celebrate his birthday. But now that there are many things to do, I won't go there in person. Fourth brother, please go to Dongtai City on my behalf to wish Brother Su his birthday. As for Birthday gift. You can choose from the inner treasury later, and you must not lose the face of the imperial court." Xia Qi finally said.
Hearing this, Xia Xi suddenly beamed with joy and responded repeatedly. When he learned that Su Hexuan had changed the date of the birthday banquet, he hurriedly came to inform his father just to get this job.
Firstly, he was on a tour in place of Xia Qi, and the ministers of the DPRK and Central Government must analyze the meaning. Secondly, Baicaotang was of great strategic significance to the Kowloon Dynasty. If he could take the opportunity to improve the relationship with Baicaotang. Fighting for the throne is definitely a crucial matter.
"Father, I have something to tell you!" Another person hurried over. This time it was the second prince Xia Feng.
Xia Xi looked at Xia Feng and smiled faintly. If he guessed correctly, Xia Feng also came to seek this job, but unfortunately, he was the one who got the first step. He then bowed to Xia Qi and said: "Father, my sons and ministers go first." Resign.”…
Su Hexuan's change of the date of his birthday banquet seemed to affect the changes in the entire Zhongzhou. The first person to take action was Bei Boruo. In one day, people from Beiboruo appeared in many towns in the Kowloon Dynasty to cause trouble. Things may be big or small, and some may be discovered as soon as they appear. It only caused a commotion, but some took the opportunity to burn down the Kowloon Dynasty's granary or destroy important military aircraft, causing chaos in the entire town.
As the supreme ruler of the Kowloon Dynasty, Xia Qi naturally did not dare to take any rest. In the play, strong men were dispatched to this city to suppress the riots in Bei Boruo, but he himself was the peak of the Guiyuan Realm. , let alone not resting for a few days, even if you don't sleep for a month, it may not be enough.
The days soon came two days later. Today was the day when Su Hexuan hosted a birthday banquet. Yaowang City was bustling with activity. Guests coming from all over had already filled up all the inns in Yaowang City.
Baicaotang's business is spread all over Zhongzhou. Some are locals from the Kowloon Dynasty, some came from the territory of the Qisha Sect, and some came from the territory of Boruo Temple. They all have more or less intersection with Baicaotang, or they are I want to come here to build a relationship and hitch a ride on the big tree of Baicaotang.
As the eldest son of Su Hexuan and the only one left now, Su Xuebo stood in front of the Su Mansion and greeted guests from all over the place with a smile. Those who could step into the Su Mansion were all invitation holders with extraordinary status. Those who were not invited Guests who want to attend the birthday banquet can only go to the birthday banquet venue of Baicaotang located elsewhere.
"The head of the Liu family in Yulin came to celebrate his birthday. As a birthday gift, he received a pair of Thunderbolt Zhizhi and fifty top-quality Yuan stones!"
"Zhu Maohua, the master of the Bashui City branch of Baicao Hall, came to celebrate his birthday. As a birthday gift, he gave me a pot of heavenly oil and a piece of amorphous crystal!"
…
"The fourth prince of the Kowloon Dynasty came to celebrate his birthday. As a birthday gift, he received ten pieces of true martial bones, ten pieces of setting sun gold, ten bottles of golden silkworm blood, ten butterfly and fairy lotus plants, and five hundred top-quality Yuan stones!"
The steward in charge of singing the promises almost stared at the gift list. It was indeed the Kowloon Dynasty. The quantity and quality of these gifts far exceeded the others. The five hundred gifts alone The best Yuan Stone is a huge wealth.
Seeing Xia Xi coming, Su Xuebo didn't dare to be negligent. He quickly greeted him with a smile: "The fourth prince has arrived, and Su is not far away to greet him."
Xia Xi smiled, held up Su Xuebo and said: "Brother Su, there is no need to meet outsiders. Baicao Hall and our dynasty are family friends. A small birthday gift is not a sign of respect. I wonder where the old Hall Master Su is now? I am here to replace him this time. Father came here to wish Mr. Su a happy birthday."
"Father is in the inner hall. Please ask the fourth prince to come and take the fourth prince to the inner hall!" Su Xuebo quickly asked someone to guide Xia Xi. Although Xia Xi came in place of Xia Qi, he should be the one to receive him. But he still had to receive guests, so naturally he couldn't take Xia Xi there in person.
Xia Xi smiled and nodded, and was about to leave, but at this moment, another voice of singing a promise sounded: "Bei, Elder Sang Yuwen of Beibo Ruo Temple came to wish him a birthday. As a birthday gift, he gave three Sanyuan Sword Pills. Qing Dynasty Four spiritual pills and five purple-gold spiritual pills!”
After the steward finished singing his promise, he was also stunned. For a moment, the entire entrance of Su Mansion fell silent.
Bei Boruo, someone came to celebrate his birthday? Everyone present knew that Bei Boruo had been trying to attack the Kowloon Dynasty recently, but he still dared to step into the territory of the Kowloon Dynasty so openly to celebrate Su Hexuan's birthday
Of course, it's not just that. The point is that the birthday gifts sent by Bei Boruo are all elixirs. Of course, these elixirs are very valuable, but the person they are congratulating this time is Su Hexuan, who is known as the King of Medicine!
For thousands of years, the warriors in Zhongzhou have known that no matter what they do, Baicaotang never accepts elixirs as gifts, because they themselves are a family of elixirs. You actually send elixirs to Baicaotang. Isn’t this a slap in the face? ? So if you look at the previous gift list, you will find that almost all of them are medicinal materials, which are also the most popular gifts of Baicaotang.
Of course, it is impossible for Bei Boruo not to know this unspoken rule of Baicaotang, and if he does this deliberately now, he is afraid that... the person who comes here is evil!
"Bei Boruo, what does this mean?" Xia Xi looked at Sang Yuwen steadily and said calmly, with no expression on his face.
Sang Yuwen felt a little twitching in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face and said: "It's the birthday of Old Hall Master Su. Of course I, Bei Boruo, have to come to celebrate his birthday. Could it be that the Fourth Prince doesn't welcome me?"
In fact, when he spoke, Sang Yuwen felt extremely bitter in his heart. Because he failed in his mission in Yang'an City, he was punished to come to celebrate Su Hexuan's birthday. Showing his face openly in Yaowang City at this moment can be said to be a direct provocation to the Kowloon Dynasty. If Having offended the Kowloon Dynasty, I am afraid that I will die here immediately. This is definitely the worst and most unlucky job.
Xia Xi smiled softly and said: "Welcome? Of course you are welcome. You are welcome to come and die! Get it for me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several followers around Xia Xi immediately took action and immediately came to Sang Yuwen's side. Several weapons were directly placed on Sang Yuwen's neck.
At this moment, Sang Yuwen was extremely shocked. He couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and said calmly: "I'm here to wish Old Hall Master Su his birthday. If the Fourth Prince behaves like this, he would be disrespecting Old Hall Master Su." Bar?"
Xia Xi frowned slightly, as long as he gave the order, Sang Yuwen could be killed immediately, but this might not look good on Baicaotang's face.
