Chapter 171 Flying Flowers [Thanks to "hhh hehehe" for the reward!]
The city of God is a prosperous scene, with colorful fish and dragons.
The car driving for the Caiyi Festival celebration slowly traveled from north to south. Wherever it passed, gongs and drums were noisy, colorful satin was flying, and it was so lively. In a restaurant in the north of the city, in the most elegant room, several young heroes were gathering.
When Liang Peng arrived with Bian He, he saw a noble man sitting here wearing an indigo brocade gown. His face was as white as jade, his eyebrows were clear, and he had jade hairpins on his temples. He was looking at the float downstairs. As he passed by, there were two followers standing behind him.
Seeing the two people entering, the man immediately stood up to greet them.
"Senior Brother Qi." Bian He called out: "This is Junior Brother Liang whom I mentioned to you, the best student in this department. Junior Brother Liang, this is Senior Brother Qi. I don't need to introduce his name anymore." "
Earlier, he told Liang Peng that there was a bureau in the evening and he could take him to meet the most famous contemporary chief in the academy, Qi Yingwu.
Even if he hadn't said it, it was impossible for the academy students not to know such a famous figure as Qi Yingwu.
Liang Peng wore a Confucian shirt and gave a slight salute, "I have long admired the name of Senior Brother Qi."
Qi Yingwu, who was full of nobility and scholarly elegance, immediately responded very politely: "Junior brother Liang Peng, I have heard your name mentioned many times by the teachers in the academy. When we meet today, you are truly a talented person."
The new Lingya Three Rankings were just updated at the beginning of the month. Compared to the Tongtian Ranking, the Youlin Ranking will change more frequently.
However, Qi Yingwu still sits firmly in second place, still second only to Feng Nanjue of Jiu Yang.
Fortunately, the three lists are updated on the first day of each month. If it had been a few days later, Wen Yifan, who was ranked fourth, would have completely disappeared from the list, which would have caused a shock.
Qi Yingwu, who is now second on the Youlin list, should be regarded as the real number one among the younger generation of the Yin Dynasty, and the leader in the future battle to seize the city.
And his background is equally prominent. He is the great-grandson of Qi Kunlun, the patriarch of the authentic divine capital Qi and the minister of the country. It is foreseeable that as long as there is no accident, he will definitely be the leader of the Qi family in the future.
There is no trace of arrogance in such a person, and he has a humble demeanor when facing the junior fellow students in the academy.
After sitting down, Qi Yingwu smiled and said: "Today I am here to entertain a few Jianghu young men from Dongzhou and Jingzhou. I specially invited two junior brothers to accompany me and let them see our academy. I am also very grateful to my two junior brothers for being willing to give me this face.”
“Hey——” Bian He raised his hand, “Senior Brother Qi, you asked us here because you think highly of us, so don’t be so polite. Attending this banquet can not only increase our knowledge, but also make acquaintance with young talents in the world, which we all hope for."
This is not a polite statement, and the Qi Yingwu Group will not come to this kind of situation. Being an ordinary person is indeed a good opportunity to make connections.
Although people must come because of Qi Yingwu’s name, the academy students who may be traveling with him will definitely also be taken seriously. Bian He and Liang Peng, whom Qi Yingwu found, were indeed the best in their respective subjects.
Liang Peng was the youngest here, so he didn't say much and just listened and watched silently.
The three of them chatted for a few words, then heard footsteps outside the door, and several more people entered. Qi Yingwu stood up to greet him again, and the two of them stood up.
About six or seven people walked in. As expected, they were all dressed as rangers, and they were obviously guarding the two leaders.
The one on the left is a tall and burly man with a shaved black hair, a slightly square skull outline, and a facial line that is also hard and straight, as if it were sharpened by a sword. His skin color is copper-black, his eye sockets are deep, he wears a brown and black cloth robe, and his limbs have sleeves.
At first glance, it feels hard.
If it weren't for the faint downy hair on his lips that still retains a childlike quality, it would be difficult for people to associate him with the four words "Young Hero".
On the right is a beautiful woman wearing an emerald green dress and plain white trousers. She is tall and has long legs, bright eyes, skin as white as suet, and a slight smile on her face. Carrying a sword on his back, the hilt of the sword was exposed with golden spikes.
As soon as this woman entered the room, the whole room suddenly became brighter.
“Wu Shaoxia, Miss Zhao.” Qi Yingwu stepped forward and said warmly, “Did you two come together?”
“No, we just happened to meet each other downstairs.” The woman in green smiled and said, "The Colorful Clothes Festival in Longyuan City is really lively. I lingered outside and almost missed the time. It was only when Brother Wu called me that I remembered to go upstairs."
"Hey." The tough young man named Wu laughed and said, "What a coincidence."
Everyone sat down here, Qi Yingwu turned around and introduced: "This one is Wu Han, the young master of the Whale Clan. Ding, this one is Zhao Xinzhu, the eldest daughter of the Zhao family in Dongzhou. It is the first time for both of you to come to the divine capital."
Liang Peng greeted him along with the others.
Like Qi Yingwu, these two people are people with prominent backgrounds and outstanding talents, and those behind them are their companions and followers.
Needless to say, Jingmen, the correct name should be called Jinghu Sect, which is the holy land of Jingzhou martial arts. And Jingzhou is known as the hometown of martial arts. From a three-year-old child to an eighty-year-old man, almost everyone practices martial arts. The name of this martial arts town actually has its roots in the Whale Lake Sect.
When Kyushu was in darkness, a great master of martial arts named Wu came from the southwest and spread the word to the world, setting off a wave of changes in martial arts in the world and laying the foundation for a new era.
A state in the southwest has since been named after him and was changed to Whale State.
The Whale Lake Sect is the sect established by this great master. It has a transcendent status in the world and has been passed down for thousands of years.
Wu Handing, as the young master of the Whale Clan, is also ranked tenth on the Youlin Ranking. Together with Qi Yingwu, he is the number one genius in Kyushu.
The Zhao family of Dongzhou is the largest royal merchant in Pinghai Mansion. It is also a martial arts family inherited for nine generations. It is also famous and is a family friend of the Wu family of Jingmen.
Zhao Xinzhu comes from such a famous family and has a beautiful appearance. He is ranked 31st on the new Youlin list. It is the time of success.
I don’t know how many Jianghu heroes regard Zhao Xinzhu as their dream lover.
Liang Peng watched indifferently and soon discovered that the atmosphere between Wu Handing and Zhao Xinzhu was a little subtle.
The young master of the Whale Gate is taciturn. Every time he speaks a word, he will look at Zhao Xinzhu involuntarily. When Zhao Xinzhu looks back at him, he will dodge unconsciously. It was clearly intentional.
However, the eldest lady of the Zhao family has a cheerful temperament and smiles with everyone she talks to. She seems to be no different to him.
Their banquet was facing the railing. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows was the bustling street scene, and opposite was a restaurant called "Unsenge". Not long after the celebration started, there were already many people waiting and watching around Unzen Pavilion. Half of the people on the street were here.
Zhao Xinzhu glanced at the plaque opposite and suddenly said: "It is very convenient for Mr. Qi to hold a banquet here."
Qi Yingwu nodded and said: "Miss Zhao should also be interested in God. You must know something about Feihua.”
“Of course I did my homework before coming here,” Zhao Xinzhu said with a smile.
When Wu Handing saw the two of them mentioning it, he asked, "What's so special here?"
"Brother Wu, can you grab the flying flowers at the Colorful Clothes Festival?" Zhao Xinzhu asked.
"Of course." Wu Handing said with a bit of pride, "I have never failed to grab flying flowers in Whale Lake City."
Zhao Xinzhu explained: "Longyuan City The most famous flying flowers here are the Unxian Pavilion. It is said that they prepare all kinds of exotic flowers and rare spiritual plants every year, and the price is always high. It is said that this year Yunxian Pavilion spent thousands of taels of silver to make this bouquet of flying flowers. , everyone is curious about what kind of strange flower is worth such a high price."
"The most popular flying flower in Longyuan City over the years is this Yunxian Pavilion." Qi Yingwu also said: "We are here. This is the most exciting scene to watch, and it will be very convenient if you two want to join.”
Zhao Xinzhu's eyes sparkled and he said: "This Yunxian Pavilion is attracting everyone's attention. If you get it, you will be famous in the capital of God. Of course I want it."
"Then I will grab it and give it to you. "Wu Handing said immediately.
"If someone snatches it and gives it to me, of course I will be happy." Zhao Xinzhu raised his head and said, "But what I want most is to snatch it with my own hands."
Qi Ying Wu smiled and said: "Then I wish you two a successful start."
"Master Qi, aren't you going to grab it?" Zhao Xinzhu turned and looked over.
"I took the flying flowers from Yunxian Pavilion the year before last, so I can't compete with others again and again." Qi Yingwu replied.
Zhao Xinzhu advised: "It's not that my brother Wu and I didn't come before. This time we are here, so you should come together."
"This..." Qi Yingwu Lue Showing hesitation, "I had no such plan before."
Wu Handing also looked at him and said: "Since Hsinchu has said so, Mr. Qi will also come to participate."
< br>The light in his eyes flickered, and there was a hint of fighting spirit.
Qi Yingwu then said calmly: "Since you two kindly invite me, I will participate together."
Bian He heard the sound and said from the side: "Tonight's Yunxian Pavilion is blessed. , if there are several people fighting for flying flowers here, it will definitely attract the attention of the whole city. Tomorrow, this matter will spread throughout Longyuan City and become a good story."
Someone said loudly: "This. It's natural. No matter how popular Yunxian Pavilion was in the past, how could there have been two young Lins competing for the top ten? What's more, there is a chivalrous lady like Miss Zhao who is unparalleled in both cultivation and beauty. She will definitely compete tonight. All the glory in Longyuan City has been taken away!"
Qi Yingwu smiled and said: "Why don't you, Junior Brother Bian, also participate and leave your name in it?"
Bian He hurriedly said. He declined: "I won't, haha. I won Lan Yuexuan's flying flowers last year, which can be regarded as achieving my wish. I don't want to participate in the competition anymore."
Although Lan Yuexuan is not as popular as Yunxian Pavilion, thousands of taels of money are spent on it every year, making it the second most popular Feihua. Moreover, many who failed in the competition for popular flying flowers such as Yunxian Pavilion will turn to battlefields such as Lan Yuexuan, so the competition intensity is sometimes very intense.
He is indeed worthy of pride for being able to get Lan Yuexuan's flying flowers once.
Bian He said to Liang Peng again: "Junior Brother Liang, you have never snatched it, have you? Why not join in and have fun."
Liang Peng said: "I have a low cultivation level, how can I dare to compete with you? Are you guys competing? I’m going to get a flying flower from the Dingsheng Tower later, and I’ll be satisfied.”
“Hahaha…” As soon as this was said, there was a burst of laughter in the room.
If it were elsewhere, they who had just arrived in Longyuan City might not know it yet, but Dingsheng Tower was right where they could see it. It was a restaurant half a street away from Yunxian Pavilion.
Looking at the situation, it is on the verge of bankruptcy. The storefront is a bit dilapidated. I think it is going to close down, and I won’t spend much money on Feihua.
Serious practitioners are too lazy to pick up flying flowers like this. Maybe some children will try to pick them as they walk by and play with them for fun.
Compared with the popular Feihua who attracted all the attention, he was really not on the stage, let alone an academy student, so everyone present just thought he was joking.
……
At the same time, Wang Rulin, who was wearing Taoist robes, and Liang Yue, who was dressed in black, had also arrived on the street.
"This Dingsheng Building... doesn't look very prosperous." Wang Rulin murmured.
"They use this as a form of transaction. They must not dare to choose Feihua, which is too popular. Wouldn't it be bad if it was taken away by passers-by?" Liang Yue said with a chuckle.
"That's true." Wang Rulin said: "It's good to do this, so as to make it easier to confirm who is the Jiu Yang man who came to trade. If you have a good teacher, you can feel free to fight for it. If this flying flower can be snatched by others, Let's go, write the word "王" for the teacher backwards! "
Thanks to the leader "hhhhehehe" for the reward and becoming the 18th leader in this book, thank you very much.
