Wuxia: I know a lot of martial arts

Chapter 217

The weather is not very good today.

Early in the morning, the sky was overcast, there was no wind, and it was very hot.

This is the rhythm of the upcoming rain in summer.

However, experienced people can also see that this rain will not fall in a short time.

Rainy days in summer are mostly in the afternoon.

Therefore, the Lotus Appreciation Banquet in Nanqinghou Mansion was held as scheduled.

Early in the morning, before Si time, the invited guests arrived at Nanqinghou's mansion one after another.

The Hou's Mansion is located in the northwest of the city, covering an area of ​​over a hundred acres, it is almost the largest and most luxurious mansion in the city.

Compared with it, the governor's mansion is not as magnificent as it is.

The high walls and gates make people yearn for it, or make people tremble.

On the right side of the mansion is a lake with a size of several acres, covered with lotus leaves. It is also when June comes, and lotus flowers bloom one after another.

The lotus leaves in the sky are infinitely green, and it looks like lotus flowers swaying in the water everywhere, pink, white, red, complement each other, very gorgeous.

A wooden corridor several tens of feet long was built along the side of the lake. On both sides of the corridor are half-foot-high railings, and there is a gazebo every five or six feet.

People in it can not only lean on the railing to watch the lotus, but also sit in the gazebo for a rest, drink tea and enjoy the flowers at the same time.

Nanqing Hou Shizi held a banquet here today.

Before all the people came, the two adjacent pavilions in the middle were filled with melon and fruit snacks, waiting for guests to taste.

As the eldest son of the Su family in the east of the city, Su Kang was also among the guests invited on this trip.

In order not to be lonely, he even brought his cousin Su Cheng to the Hou Mansion to see the world.

When they arrived, seven or eight young people had already arrived by the lake, in twos and threes, they didn't get together, obviously they were divided into groups.

"Hey! Isn't this a brother of the Su family! It's a pleasure to meet you!"

"Master Su, are you safe?"

"Brother Su, it's me, Old Qin!"

Many people greeted Su Kang enthusiastically, and Su Kang responded familiarly.

After finally exchanging greetings with everyone, the two brothers of the Su family passed through the crowd and arrived at a corner of the corridor.

Su Kang told his brother: "Su Cheng, don't just look around, I brought you here to deal with people, which will benefit you in the future."

Su Cheng curled his lips and said, "Brother, you are the only one here, otherwise, who would take me seriously?"

Su Kang said bitterly: "This is not an excuse for you! You have to be more serious!"

Su Cheng said with a smile: "With my eldest brother here, I still have to do what I want to do, as long as I always follow behind you and do things."

Su Kang was speechless.

In fact, he also knew that the people who could be invited by Nanqing Hou Shizi had extraordinary status.

Don't look at him as the eldest son of the Su family, the future successor of the Su family, compared with some people at the scene, he is really not enough.

Among other things, Su Kang saw that the direct descendants of the Shen family had also arrived at the scene just now.

Which Shen family?

The Shen family of Governor Shen Zuo!The first family in Qingcheng!

Even the Shen family has to give Nanqing Hou Shizi face, and they dare not make it public here, let alone the children of other families?

In addition, the governor, Changshi, Biejia, guard and other official families are all invited by Nanqing Hou Shizi.

There are also well-known martial arts families in Qingcheng or some gang celebrities.

Su Kang weighed it over, among these people, there are some people with higher status than him, and some people with higher martial arts level than him.

He is a person who has just entered the fifth realm, so he is really inconspicuous here!

If the Su family hadn't destroyed the Cheng family recently, annexed many forces, and thus greatly increased their strength, perhaps many people here would not have taken him seriously.

Even he is not taken seriously, let alone Su Cheng, a side branch of the Su family?

So, Su Cheng is really not inaction, but self-knowledge.

After the two brothers chatted for a while, the time gradually approached Si Shi.

Suddenly, Su Cheng exclaimed: "Huh? Brother, look, who is that?!"

"Who?" Su Kang followed his gestures and looked over, immediately stunned, "Chu Tang?!"

In the distance, Shi Shiran came with a handful of magic weapons, who else was it not Chu Tang?

Su Kang was surprised, why did Chu Tang come to Nanqinghou Mansion?

Also came to the banquet?

However, didn't Chu Tang never take part in these matters?
Ever since Chu Tang defeated Xu Lingfeng, there have been countless aristocratic families who have invited Chu Tang to visit these days, but Chu Tang is unmoved and ignores them.

Su Kang only met Chu Tang in Wutong Academy a while ago, taking advantage of Su Qingyue's face.

At that time, he also sent an invitation to Chu Tang just in case, but he was also ignored by the other party.

"Could it be difficult for Chu Tang to ignore Prince Nanqing?" Su Kang guessed wildly.

In his opinion, Marquis Nanqing was a giant who played a pivotal role in the imperial court. As a fast catcher, Chu Tang naturally couldn't refuse the invitation of Marquis Nanqing.

Even if this prince has a very bad reputation in the eyes of everyone!

Not only the Su brothers, but also many people at the scene recognized Chu Tang.

"Why is he here?"

"This guy is an evil star. It's better not to get close to him when he kills two high school students from Luoshen Valley."

"Why did the prince invite him here? He is just a catcher. What qualifications does he have to come here to enjoy the flowers?"

"Shh, keep your voice down, have you seen the magic weapon in his hand? It's the famous Yitian! Be careful that he cuts off your head!"

"He dares! He's just a bad little catcher. My family can crush him to death like an ant, believe it or not?"

"Hehe! I don't believe it, go try it!"

Among the crowd, some were dissatisfied with Chu Tang, some looked down on him, and of course, some wanted to make friends with him.

Along the way, several people approached him to make friends.

Chu Tang had a cold face, greeted them politely, and then walked to the Sukang brothers' place.

Seeing Chu Tang approaching, Su Kang felt uneasy and secretly nervous for some reason.

In fact, when Chu Tang approached him, he looked at all the people, and only Su Kang met and explained to him, so he was an acquaintance.

Acquaintances can still chat for a few words, but they can only chat awkwardly with other people.

"Brother Su!" Chu Tang cupped his fists in salute from afar.

Su Kang had no choice but to take his cousin with him and bite the bullet in return.

Chu Tang looked around for a while, the scenery was beautiful and the environment was good, but the owner of the place was in vain.

"The son of the Marquis of Nanqing hasn't arrived yet?" Chu Tang couldn't help asking Su Kang.

The biggest goal of his trip is to deal with Nanqing Hou Shizi, otherwise, he, who has not recovered to [-]% of his skill, really doesn't want to waste time here.

For this trip, he went to bed early last night.

For some reason, the quality of sleep last night was better than that of the previous few days, with less irritability and more calmness.

"Master Hou's son is the master, and his status is noble, so he must have appeared at the last moment!" It was Su Cheng who answered Chu Tang.

At the beginning, Su Cheng had a big opinion on Chu Tang and didn't think much of him, but now he didn't dare to make a mistake, he didn't even dare to look at Chu Tang more.

What's more, when he spoke, even his voice trembled a little, with a respectful and fearful look.

It was because Chu Tang's record was so strong that it frightened Su Cheng!
If Chu Tang defeated Cheng Feng from the Cheng family in Nancheng, Su Cheng could still regard him as lucky, but after entering Qingcheng, Chu Tang's success in defeating the disciples of Luoshen Valley really left him dumbfounded.

A man of the fifth realm with one sword cut off an arm of a strong man of the sixth realm with one sword...

Who dares to underestimate such brilliant achievements?
Su Cheng now felt that Chu Tang's calm eyes were full of killing intent, and he didn't dare to look directly at him.

After hearing Su Cheng's words, Chu Tang nodded in agreement.

As for the leader, naturally the higher the rank, the last to appear.

Also, it makes sense to let the leader go first.

In Qingcheng, the official rank and rank can be compared with that of Nanqinghou, and the post of governor is the only one.

However, the governor is a civilian job, and the candidate is not fixed, and may be replaced at any time.

The title is different, even if it cannot be hereditary, or cannot be promoted, it can still be passed down to descendants.

If it is successfully inherited, Wang Haochen will have an earl for the last time.

That's still able to look down on the existence of Qingcheng!
In the presence, there is really no one with a higher status than him.

Everyone exchanged pleasantries for a while, and suddenly, someone called out, "The prince is here."

The scene suddenly quieted down.

Chu Tang followed the crowd, and a group of people came from the west end of the corridor.

There are men and women in this group.

The young and beautiful woman followed behind, like a family member or a maid.

Among the men, the leader was a young man who looked to be in his early twenties.

He was not bad-looking, rather handsome, his body was covered in brocade silk and satin, and he was covered in rich purple. He looked graceful and luxurious, and he was full of nobility.

It's just that his posture is not very good-looking, he walks with a limp, and although his range of motion is not large, it can still be seen at a glance that there is something wrong with his legs and feet.

"Is this Wang Haochen?" Chu Tang looked at the other party carefully. At first glance, there was nothing unusual about this son, except for his legs and feet, his whole body was normal.

No one can see that he is the kind of person who is lawless and has extremely bad reviews.

As Wang Haochen approached, many people went up to greet him, saying that he was the son of the world, and they were all right.

Some tried their best to flatter and express their usual greetings and concerns, which was very disgusting.

Some just went up to say hello, and then stepped aside without saying a word.

Chu Tang could tell that those who spoke beautifully did not necessarily respect the prince; and those who were cold and polite did not necessarily mean that they really did not want to deal with the prince.

The complexity of human nature is fully reflected at this moment.

Su Kang is also considered a good-looking man, he led Su Cheng to squeeze past, and greeted Wang Haochen.

After seeing everyone, a middle-aged man who looked like a guard followed Wang Haochen and whispered a few words to him.

After listening, Wang Haochen looked up at Chu Tang.

Soon, he walked quickly towards Chu Tang.

Chu Tang could see clearly that although the prince of Nanqing Hou had a problem with his legs and feet, he walked vigorously, neither his speed nor his steps were affected much.

Obviously, the opponent has adapted to the changes in his body, or has undergone rigorous training to create this body.

"Is it face to face with Team Leader Chu of Flying Immortal Chu?" Far away, Wang Haochen greeted Chu Tang loudly.

Chu Tang was stunned for a moment, "Tianwai Feixian" became his nickname?
After realizing it, Chu Tang bowed his hands and said, "Chu Tang of Guijun, I have met your son."

Wang Haochen laughed out loud, took two steps in three steps, and soon came to Chu Tang, made a gesture of invitation to him, and said: "The whole Qingcheng knows that it is difficult to invite the leader of the Chu team. Today, the leader of the Chu team It is our residence's honor to come here. Come here, please, you and I are welcome!"

After speaking, he turned his head and introduced Chu Tang to everyone, praised him fiercely, and even danced and danced when he was excited, looking very happy.

His posture made people unable to pick out the thorns. He praised Chu Tang without neglecting everyone, giving people a feeling of spring breeze, and also made people feel that he was very bold.

Chu Tang was really shocked.

Before coming here, he had imagined the scene of meeting Wang Haochen countless times.

In his mind, there is the other party's arrogant and contemptuous attitude, and there is also the other party's arrogance and domineering arrogance.

He even thought that the other party's tutor was quite good, and he was polite and courteous to others.

But I just didn't expect that the other party was like a tycoon in the rivers and lakes, with the demeanor of Mr. Mengchang.

While Wang Haochen was telling the maid to greet the guests, Su Kang suddenly tugged at the corner of Chu Tang's clothes, and said in a barely audible voice: "Brother Chu, this son is not a good person, don't be fooled .”

"Huh?" Chu Tang looked at the other party suspiciously, not understanding why he reminded himself of these words.

Su Kang shook his head at him and stopped talking.

At this time, Wang Haochen was already sitting in the nearest gazebo with his back to the west, and those sitting on the left and right were the children of other official families in Qingcheng.

After all, it is the residence of the Marquis Mansion. In terms of superiority and inferiority, the distinction is based on official standards.

As for the so-called martial arts masters like Chu Tang, no matter if they belonged to a family of martial arts, a famous sect, or an individual expert, they could only sit on the benches on both sides of the corridor.

In the field, some people talked loudly, while others remained silent.

During the period, seven or eight maids served everyone back and forth with snacks and tea.

Chu Tang took a few more glances at these women, and they were as beautiful as they were beautiful, but they all had cold faces, and their expressions were a little nervous, and they couldn't see any other demeanor.

Looking at the situation here again, he, Chu Tang, was almost at the outermost corridor on the left, four or five feet away from the gazebo where Wang Haochen was.

Wang Haochen sat with a golden sword on his horse, and behind him stood four guards holding swords or sabers.

The four people kept their eyes on each other. No matter what funny topic they talked about, their faces were expressionless, and the expressions on their faces did not change at all. They just stood still, like a wooden man.

But many people can tell that these four are masters, and their skills should not be low.

It's normal to think about it, Wang Haochen's style is extremely bad, and he doesn't pay attention to things. People with big families in Qingcheng may dare to be angry and dare not speak out, or they just want to wait for his defeat.

However, for some martial arts people who roam the rivers and lakes, he is a gleaming target, a target to be eradicated by other chivalrous fighters.

If he didn't have some protection power, Wang Haochen wouldn't know how many times he would have died!

With more assassinations, Wang Haochen must be afraid of death, and he has to bring expert guards wherever he goes.

Chu Tang couldn't help thinking of Zhao Ziyu.

With only four realms of cultivation, facing Wang Haochen's guarding force, let alone the trick of capturing the thief first, it is estimated that it would be a big problem for her to get close.

"Alas!" Thinking that the other party's big troupe was still suffering in the Nanqinghou Mansion, Chu Tang finally sighed and stood up slowly.

Under the surprised eyes of everyone, Chu Tang approached step by step the pavilion where Wang Haochen was.

The light, almost inaudible footsteps suddenly sounded like huge gongs and drums, shocking everyone and making them quiet down.

When Chu Tang approached the gazebo one foot away, a guard behind Wang Haochen stood up and stopped him at the pillar where the gazebo and the promenade met.

"Team Chu, what's the matter?" Wang Haochen asked first.
