Ink panel: Hunting the sun and surveying the sky from the bow

The atmosphere in the lobby became increasingly depressing.

Bai Mu, who was sitting in the chief seat, looked at the many family heads of the Thirteen Lines in front of him, his face becoming gloomy little by little.

He had long heard that there were many small actions in Thirteen Lines during his retreat to heal.

Taking advantage of the opportunity that he had no time to care about, he bit by bit eroded his rights and his power.

In his eyes, these people were like vicious wolves, surrounding him and staring at him.

After seeing that he was weak, they all straightened up and approached him.

For some reason, Bai Mu suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

Although the imperial court of the Great Zhou Dynasty was strong, it was scattered and settled in specific places. Facing the local snakes who had been entrenched for many years, they could only bow their heads and behave.

Shen Qing was sitting at the end of the table, looking at Bai Mu's aggrieved expression, he couldn't help but sigh.

Although the officialdom of Zhou Dynasty is so prosperous on the surface, it doesn't look so peaceful behind the scenes. It can even be said that it is surrounded by dangers.

No one said a word.

The nobles of the family in the hall were breathing in spiritual energy, and their rich auras were freely displayed, and they did not give in to Bai Mu.

Seeing that Bai Mu was almost pushed, Zhou Xu's expression changed, and he smiled and said: "Don't worry, Lord Sheriff, we are all citizens of Yongzhou, and it is our duty to kill the demons. We will wait until the Lord Sheriff comes up with a plan. After the charter, we will still do our best to assist you.”

Seeing the other party handing over a step, Bai Mu naturally accepted it. He smiled and said in frustration: "Then I will rely on you more."

"Okay, now that we've eaten and talked about things, why not do some shows to entertain us?" At this time, the head of the Dong family stood up and said.

Zhou Xu smiled and said, "What kind of show does Brother Dong want to do?"

The head of the Dong family, Dong Pengfei, raised his glass and looked around: "I have heard for a long time that the martial arts masters of the imperial court are all the best among men, and their martial arts are superb. We, the martial arts warriors who travel in the world, feel the admiration in our hearts, just like looking up at the stars. Today is a grand event, why not take this opportunity? , let’s have a martial arts competition, which not only adds to the elegance, but also promotes communication, what do you think?”

As soon as these words came out, they were like pebbles thrown into the lake, causing ripples.

The dignitaries in Yongzhou were whispering to each other, and their faces showed expressions of watching a good show.

Sheriff Bai Mu frowned and said: "Fistes and feet have no eyes. If the real fire is fired, it will be bad and harm the harmony. It's better to change it."

A middle-aged man with a resolute face and sharp eyes among the crowd said: "The art of martial arts is about communication and actual combat. How can things in this world be as good as people want? Only by tempering in challenges can the true meaning be revealed. We'll wait and see. Just click it and nothing will go wrong."

"Yes, martial arts can only improve through competitions."

The rest of the people in the hall echoed.

Seeing everyone like this, even if the governor Bai Mu was unwilling, it would not help, so he had to reluctantly agree.

Dong Pengfei, the head of the Dong family, had a meaningful smile on his lips. He stood up slowly, looked at Shen Qing, and said with a smile: "I heard that Shen Qing and Shen Chaosi were very powerful. He killed the demon in just one year. Countless people have been promoted from the Police Department to the Chief of the Weiwu Department. Why not take this opportunity today to learn from each other? "

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes in the lobby focused on Shen Qing.

Shen Qing's face suddenly darkened.

He knew in his heart that it was a lie that he, Mr. An, and Dong Pengfei were discussing with each other, but that he wanted to pick him up and deal with him at the airport was true.

Although Dong Jing is the illegitimate son of the Dong family, he still represents a trace of the Dong family's face.

Such an "enemy" stood in front of Dong Pengfei openly, and it was impossible to turn a blind eye.

If they want to compete, Dong Pengfei will definitely kill him.

But Shen Qing was not afraid.

As far as he knew, Dong Pengfei was in the late stage of the Alchemy Realm.

With his current level of cultivation, if he uses the power of the Nine Transformations Mysterious Technique, he can just kill him with all his strength.

The only trouble is that it doesn't end well in the public eye.

While Shen Qing was thinking about countermeasures, Huangfu Rou stood up and interrupted: "Master Dong, wait a minute, there is always a generation gap between you. If you wait to end it personally and use the big one to bully the small ones, it will still be a bit rude. I think it is a little inappropriate. of."

After Huangfu Rou finished speaking, Huangfu Chuang, the head of the Huangfu family, said, "That's true."

Dong Pengfei glanced at Shen Qing thoughtfully, turned to Huangfu Chuang and his daughter and said with an unhappy look on their faces: "Since Huangfu's niece is so protective of her subordinates, then I'll sell you and my daughter a favor. Mr. Shen, wait for me in the future." I’ll wait for a chance to discuss it further.”

As he said that, Dong Pengfei sat down expressionlessly and looked at Shen Qing with a deep look.

Shen Qing cast a grateful look at Huangfu Rou and narrowed his eyes slightly.

At this time, the head of the Zhou family, Zhou Xu, immediately spoke: "The remarks made by Mr. Huangfu just now are indeed reasonable. In my opinion, why not take this opportunity to let the juniors compete with each other? This will not only add color to the banquet, but also Don’t hurt my kindness. What do you think?”

After saying this, his eyes quickly swept across the table and landed on the chief executive.

Bai Mu didn't know what Zhou Xu's purpose was, so he asked: "What the Zhou family leader said makes sense. In that case, I will follow what you said, let the younger generation show their talents, and also let the old bones like me open our eyes and see how terrible the future generations are. However, I wonder what young talents we are looking for during the banquet?”

When Zhou Xu heard this, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he pretended to smile casually and said: "It seems to be fate. The fifth child of my family happened to come to the county with me today. I never thought that I would be able to catch up with such an elegant event. Although he is usually playful, he is quite talented in martial arts. He has always admired the eldest son of the county governor. Why not let him join in the fun and spar with the eldest son, and also let the eldest son of the county governor Bai and other gentlemen. Taste it and see if it appeals to your taste.”

When Bai Mu heard this, he suddenly felt a little funny.

His eldest son is his Qilin'er, who is now in the alchemy realm and is a leader among the younger generation.

If his eldest son were to compete, he would be relieved.

Bai Mu said meaningfully: "Oh? It's such a coincidence. Then please come in, Mr. Ling, so that we old guys can also enjoy the vitality of young people and have a good look at the extraordinary style of the Zhou family."

As he spoke, Bai Mu turned to his servants and said, "Come here, go and summon An Long."

"yes!"

A county servant responded quickly and hurried out of the hall.

After a while, there were footsteps outside the hall.

The door was pushed open.

A young man's figure walked in from outside the door.

A white jade crown as warm as jade was lightly placed on his head, and the jade hanging from his waist gently swayed with his light steps, making a fine and sweet sound.

"Junior Zhou Xintong has met all the seniors."

Zhou Xu, the head of the Zhou family, laughed loudly and stepped forward to introduce: "This is Quanzi's new brother. He is a five-year-old at home. Compared with his brothers, he is a little behind. However, he has always regarded Young Master Anlong as the goal to catch up with. Now, If we have the opportunity, we can discuss and exchange ideas together.”

Everyone present was not a fool, and Zhou Xu's arrangements were clearly prepared.

For a moment, they were curious, wondering what Zhou Xu had in mind.

While everyone was making random guesses, the same young man, led by a servant, walked into the hall from the back door.

Everyone present recognized this young man as Bai Anlong, the eldest son of the county governor Bai Mu.

Bai Anlong walked to the main seat and raised his hands respectfully: "Greetings to my father. I wonder why my father came to me?"

Bai Mu smiled slightly. He gently raised his hand to signal Bai Anlong to excuse himself. He turned to look at Zhou Xu and said, "Anlong, your uncle Zhou came to visit today with his son. He specifically mentioned that you, the younger generation, should have more exchanges and make progress together. "I heard that the fifth son of the Zhou family has always regarded you as a role model and is eager to learn from you. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Bai Anlong turned his eyes to Zhou Xintong, who was standing aside. He was a little confused about the current situation, but remained humble on his face: "I, Bai Anlong, am just a dandy in the county. I have to be loved by my father and seniors, so I have the name I am today. If The fifth young master really has this intention. An Long will accompany you, so let’s use martial arts to make friends, and that’s it for now?”

Hearing this, a calm smile broke out on Zhou Xu's face. He patted Zhou Xintong on the shoulder and said, "Xintong, do you hear that? Master Bai has a broad mind. You have to seize this opportunity. Do you understand?"

Zhou Xintong nodded heavily, took a step forward, and saluted Bai Anlong: "Master Bai, Xintong has admired your name for a long time. If you get this opportunity today, you will do your best. I hope Master Bai will not hesitate to teach you!"

Bai Anlong responded with a salute, and a sense of confrontation instantly filled the air between the two.

The noble family owners all around were waiting with bated breath.

At this point they all came to their senses.

This competition is not only a simple competition between two young talents, but also a subtle test of the power of the county, city, and court.

"In that case, let's get started." Bai Mu spoke at the right time, breaking the brief silence: "The competition is over, don't hurt the harmony, and don't use stories to cause trouble."

"Yes, Father (Sir)!"

Bai Anlong and Zhou Xintong said in unison, and then each took a few steps back and opened up their stances.
