Chapter 136 – The Game

On the tenth day of the fourth month of the twenty-third year of Chong’an, summer began, and heaven and earth began to meet, and all things were in full bloom.

Lingzhou City Lord Xue Mu took office less than ten days, the subordinate officials are still a bunch of do not know, the county bureaucrats almost never seen, the local families are most do not know what this city lord looks like, but this city lord has made a big event in Lingzhou side eyes.

He took the identity of the Star and Moon Sect’s Grand Master, presided over the acceptance of the Yan Yang Sect’s affiliated ceremony, the ceremony was held in the Rouge Square Star and Moon Sect’s residence, covering an area of several hectares of the mansion, although compared to the various large sects of the mountain, the overall pattern of the atmosphere is still insufficient, but for a few years ago still not dare to openly show the Star and Moon Sect, it is simply a major proclamation of the transformation of the body.

Rouge Square groups of small demonesses guarded the main road, spine straight, serious look examined the invitation presented by the guests, truly treated as a big event.

The ceremony was held in the martial arts arena, and there was a high platform at the edge of the arena, which was originally used by the sect leaders to inspect the disciples’ martial arts performance, and at this time it became the “podium”, Xue Qingqiu was sitting in the center of the arena, and the left and right elders were waiting for her, and there was a small empty chair next to her, which was Curry Night’s seat.

Wen Hao and the others sat quietly on the side, waiting for the ceremony to begin. These three days down, they had actually figured it out.

Affiliation was affiliation, other than a little face passing in the early years, there really wasn’t anything wrong with it, on the contrary it should be better. The backstage is harder, more resources, the city master is still their own people, no matter the force or business and so on all aspects of the development are far more than today. The old face of the old generation in the early years of the loss of it, the new generation is favorable to the new generation this is the most important.

Even the most proud of the wind Lieyang did not return to the matter of opposition, this matter in the Yan Yang Sect will not be able to pressure waves. In fact, wind Lieyang heart has always been very clear, as early as in the previous conversation between him and Pu Xiang showed his meaning, in his heart the Yan Yang Sect’s situation itself is equivalent to the subordinate sects, there is no such a ceremony makes no difference. If you want to hold your head up and say that you and the Star Moon Sect stand side by side, it is the strength that counts.

In the future, if his own generation can compete, step into the cave or something, it is also not impossible to set up their own door, for this point, Feng Lieyang has always been very confident.

Curry Night was running around in the field at the moment, helping the disciples to arrange the seats for the guests in the surrounding area. The seats were a short table with a chair, there were hundreds of seats, and there were wine, meat, fruits and snacks placed all over the short table. It took a lot of time just to set up, but with Curry Night there, it suddenly became a lot easier.

The little doll’s palms closed together, and the fruits and melons scattered and flew in all directions, each as if they were held up by a hand, falling gently and accurately onto the plates, shortening what at least took half a day to set up into just half a cup of tea.

“Senior Uncle is really awesome!”

“Senior Uncle is so cute, give me a kiss, okay?”

“No!” Night cupped her little face, “A yellow-flower girl is not something you can just give a kiss to.”

“What does it matter that we are both women?”

“Because Curry Night has to be left for men to kiss ah ……”

“Uh ……”

The disciples looked more odd than one another, in fact, not only outsiders, even they, the internal disciples, were rarely able to truly treat this senior uncle as an adult, and hearing such words always felt very awkward.

Curry Night quietly hid a fruit in his sleeve and walked away with three steps. Wherever she passed, every wine pot and every plate automatically moved a little bit in a slightly unnoticeable way, if someone noticed this phenomenon, they would realize that the wine pots and plates on any two tables were all in the exact same position, not a hair’s breadth apart, and if they looked down from the air, they would see hundreds of identical table tops that were as precise as a replica.

This girl came out a little bit earlier than Xue Qingqiu, she broke through, noiselessly, no one in the world would know that this little child who looked like a five year old doll was in fact a Dongxu powerhouse.

Curry Night leisurely paced back to the high platform, sat on his butt beside Xue Qingqiu, felt out the fruit in his sleeve and chewed it with a smile on his face, his little feet hanging in the air kicking and kicking. Xue Qingqiu looked at her with a wooden face, squeezing out a sentence from between her teeth, “Speak of image, today is important.”

“Which guest will pay attention to the image of a five year old girl, really. On the contrary, senior sister’s grooming must pay attention to oh ……” Curry Night smiled as she ate the fruit, “In fact, senior sister is envious of Curry Night because she is envious of Curry Night, right?”

“…… “Xue Qingqiu cackled and clenched her fists, almost not punching them.

Curry Night added, “But Curry Night also envies Senior Sister’s ah ……”

Xue Qingqiu was stunned, but she heard Curry Night whisper, “Whether Senior Sister is pretty or not, that’s secondary to the fact that it’s always a normal person’s body ah ……”

Xue Qingqiu’s hand loosened, silent.

They didn’t fit to talk much either, it wasn’t just people from the Star Moon Sect sitting on the stage, there was also the Yan Yang Sect.

Outside the martial arts arena came in the first batch of guests, it was Xue Mu who brought in Department Six An Sifang and a few deputy constables, and behind them was a large pile of officials from Spirit State City …… Xue Qingqiu’s complexion slowly cooled down.

She is not the Xue Mu who does not know anyone, she has been operating in Lingzhou for some years, and she has concepts in her mind about many characters, and the current situation highlights a problem: none of the officials of Lingzhou County have come.

It was also normal, as Ji Qingyuan’s most important means of clamping down on Xue Mu, it was impossible for the county guards of Ling Zhou to cooperate with Xue Mu in anything, even if they came, they would still be stirring up the scene. But normal is normal, this kind of performance of not giving face still made Xue Qingqiu’s heart burst with murderous feelings, secretly wondering if it was time to go kill someone tonight.

For people like them, even the Emperor didn’t put them in their eyes, a mere county governor would be even less serious. Just kill people can not solve all the problems, openly kill this kind of local officials, very easy to trigger an unpredictable backlash, attracted the righteous way of large-scale siege is not uncommon, although they are not afraid, but also spoil the good situation, is the next step. When Xue Qingqiu thought of this, her heart was slightly converged, and her beautiful eyes fell on Xue Mu, wondering what Xue Mu was playing in his mind at this moment.

Xue Mu’s face could not be seen in his mind, and he could only be seen smilingly entertaining Department Six’s people. An Sifang took his seat with some egg pain, and if he had a choice, he did not want to come …….

Pity the fierce man who was once known as the Nine Lives of the Tiger, stirred up by the whirlwind of politics, even half a bit of fierce tiger qi can not be found out. His look was also quite perfunctory, sitting there with a smile on his face, having made up his mind that no matter what situation there was in today’s scene, he would only observe and not intervene.

Xue Mu also did not make things difficult for him fat tiger, did not even continue to go to meet the next wave of guests, but leisurely up on the high platform, sat next to Xue Qingqiu drink tea.

Xue Qingqiu looked at him askance in a very speechless manner, “Not a single person from the county came, how come you don’t seem to care a bit?”

“Dear sister, don’t you know that the key to our day today was supposed to be how many people came, not whether or not there would be any trouble.”

Xue Qingqiu was stunned and suddenly understood.

This ceremony was mainly a declaration of political significance, if it was cold and quiet, it would simply be a joke. A venue with a few hundred seats, wine, vegetables, fruits and flowers all over the place, empty, would only become a satirical laughing stock when the time came.

The people who secretly make trips, only need to agree to all do not come, simple can let the Star Moon Sect this move into a laughing stock, simply do not need to hard with her Xue Qingqiu, play what conspiracy. Therefore, yesterday, whether Xue Mu contacted Shadow Wing or the Zhang Family, his main purpose was to ensure that the number of people who came to the ceremony was sufficient and of a high grade, not to deal with any changes.

Shadow Wing’s Windstorm Building represented the Demon Sect’s Traceless Dao, and the Zhang Family was still able to attract a certain amount of representatives from the Zong Heng Dao. In a small city in the district of Spirit State, the strongest sects of the Devil Sect had come with two of them, including Shadow Wing, the patriarch, this was class. The participation of the Zhang family could also incidentally attract a group of lineages that were watching the wind, this was quantity.

With this foundation, plus the officials of Lingzhou City, the participation of Department Six, and the “cultural figures” who came to give face to Wen Hao, there were people from all walks of life. Add to that the other unorganized small clans and gangs that didn’t dare to offend the Star Moon Sect easily, and the scene would be sufficient to account for them.

The game was actually at this angle, how could people who mixed rivers and lakes and lived by martial arts think of this? Only the county governor and Xue Mu these with the quality of politicians can play with each other, really let them from childhood jianghu people to deal with, guaranteed to be a fight, completely different things. Xue Qingqiu held her forehead and lost her smile, no wonder Xue Mu told her yesterday that she didn’t need to account for anything, just need to bring that pair of mighty cold face is enough ……

“There’s a time for you to play, dear sister.” Xue Mu was still smiling, but his voice became cold: “Remember the people who didn’t come today, those are our enemies.”
