Chapter 165: Drawing the Sword on Chu Liang
The atmosphere in the main courtyard of the Qin family is lively.
The long table was filled with delicacies. Although it was not as good as the lantern dinner in the county town, it was still pretty good.
The people from all forces are young talents. They are all dressed in gorgeous brocade clothes, with dignified features, smiling, personable, talking and laughing.
These young talents not only have good looks, but also have good martial arts talents. At the end of the day, they can barely be called geniuses.
Among them was Luo Hong's son Luo Meng. In addition, Yan Chuan, Li Feng, Ye Hao and others were also there.
As the son of the county magistrate, Gao Shi was the best among these people.
He glanced at the sky and calculated the time.
"Why hasn't Master Qin come yet?"
"Brother Gao, the head of the Qin family may be delayed for something, so please wait."
Next to him, a man holding a sword spoke.
Gao Shi turned his head, looked at this man and said, "Brother Qi, Chu Liang will also be coming to this banquet. He has repeatedly humiliated your Black Sword Martial Arts School. I wonder what you think?"
"Master said that this matter is the fault of my Black Sword Martial Arts School."
The man holding the sword is named Qi Sheng, and he is the disciple of Qi Hong, the leader of the Black Sword Hall.
Qi Hong's conditions for accepting a disciple are very strict. After all, he is a genius in swordsmanship. To be accepted as his first disciple, one can imagine Qi Sheng's talent.
Qi Sheng's reputation over the years is not weaker than Qin Yu's.
As early as two years ago, he defeated the younger generation of geniuses all over the county, and finally lost to Qin Yu's Qin family swordsmanship.
Many people say that his talent is no worse than Qin Yu's, but his master Qi Hong is not as good as Qin Yuandao, and the resources that the Black Sword Martial Arts Hall can provide him are not as good as those of the Qin family, so he is slightly weaker.
"Brother Qi, there is nothing wrong with the Black Sword Martial Arts School in this matter, but Chu Liang forced Qi Hai, the sword master of your martial arts school, to kneel down in front of everyone. In doing so, he is undoubtedly humiliating you and the entire martial arts. Hall." Gao Shi's voice was low.
"I know what Brother Gao means, but the master has said it first, so I can't do anything to Chu Liang." Qi Sheng shook his head slightly.
"Oh? Brother Qi dares to use the sword against Chu Liang?" Gao Shi looked surprised.
"Why don't you dare?"
Qi Sheng looked at the sword in his hand, his eyes sharp, and said: "Two years ago, I asked myself to become a master of swordsmanship and challenged young talents from all sides, but in the end I was defeated by Miss Qin Yu."
As he spoke, he moved his eyes slightly to look at the side of the courtyard where many Qin family disciples gathered.
Qin Yu was there. Today she rarely changed out of her military uniform. She wore a green dress and an emerald green hairpin. She was a little less heroic than before, but more feminine.
A hint of admiration flashed in Qi Sheng's eyes, but more of a fighting spirit.
He whispered: "After that, I stayed in seclusion and changed the submersible sword technique to make it more suitable for me. Just like the master did back then, I walked my own path in the way of swordsmanship."
Gao Shi said in surprise: "Brother Qi, have you succeeded?"
"That's right! No one among the younger generation in the county can be my rival!" Qi Sheng's words were full of confidence and edge. "Many people have come to the city recently, and there are also people who are called geniuses. We can use them to try it out." sword!"
"I didn't expect that Brother Qi has such lofty ambitions, I admire him!"
Gao Shi cupped his hands and spoke in a sincere tone.
This admiration is true. After all, there are many geniuses in the county, but how many of them dare to challenge the geniuses in the capital?
The resource gap between the two sides is too big, and this kind of challenge is tantamount to hitting an egg with an egg against a stone.
But Qi Sheng planned to give it a try!
"Brother Qi, are you really not going to teach Chu Liang a lesson? Because of him, the reputation of the Black Sword Martial Arts School has plummeted recently. Many people say that your Black Sword Martial Arts School is not as good as the Autumn Sword Martial Arts School, and your Sinking Sword is not as good as the Zhanqiu Sword."
Gao Shi spoke again, bringing the topic to Chu Liang, trying to create some trouble for Chu Liang.
Qi Sheng pondered for a moment and was about to answer.
At this moment, Qin Yuandao's voice suddenly sounded outside the yard.
"I've kept you waiting for a long time."
Hearing this, everyone stood up and looked towards the entrance of the courtyard.
Qin Yuandao walked into the courtyard with a kind and gentle smile, filled with the aura of a book, which made people feel like they were taking a breath of spring breeze.
"Master Qin!"
Everyone spoke one after another and were about to salute.
But their eyes suddenly widened and they discovered that there was someone else beside Qin Yuandao.
Chu Liang!
As a guest, why would he follow Qin Yuandao?
This scene almost stunned everyone.
Gao Shi's face was stiff. The moment he saw Chu Liang, all the thoughts in his mind became a mess!
Isn't Chu Liang here yet? Why is he here?
Could it be that the reason why Qin Yuandao never showed up was because he was discussing matters with Chu Liang?
There is a big gap in strength between the two, and they are also a generation apart. They shouldn't have many topics in common. What can they discuss?
"Is it about marriage?"
When he thought of this, Gao Shi was shocked, as if struck by lightning!
At this moment, not only him, but also many young talents present had similar thoughts.
Each of their faces turned gray, and they were all discouraged immediately, like eggplants beaten by frost, and they seemed to have lost the cheerful appearance they had before.
Of course, there are a few people who feel that the matter is not yet the last step and that everything is still too late.
"Marriage is such an important matter. It is not a child's play. The Qin family master will definitely be cautious!"
"After all, Chu Liang is just a genius who has not yet matured. The Qin family may not necessarily place all their bets on him."
"I still have hope!"
Similar thoughts flashed through the minds of these young talents.
Gao Shi also gritted his teeth at this moment, cheered up, and cheered himself up.
"I am better than Chu Liang in all aspects, except for martial arts... When it comes to martial arts talent, I am indeed slightly inferior..."
He calculated in his mind that although his talent was not as good as Chu Liang's, as the son of the county magistrate, he had plenty of resources.
He has a wide network of connections and a rich net worth. He not only has access to resources in the county, but also to martial arts resources in the prefectural city.
With a large amount of martial arts resources, he is confident that he can catch up with Chu Liang, a boy from the countryside who came from a farmer's family!
"call……"
Gao Shi took a few deep breaths and quickly calmed down.
In the yard, Qin Yuandao had already reached the seat of the banquet host.
He smiled warmly and said to everyone: "Some things were delayed just now. Don't blame me, please take a seat."
"yes."
Facing a master of the Skin Refining Realm, everyone present did not dare to feel dissatisfied at all.
They all took their seats and sat in their respective positions.
Chu Liang was confused for a moment and looked around a few times. He didn't know where to sit. He couldn't just sit next to Qin Yuandao, right?
I wonder if Qin Yuandao did not indicate Chu Liang's position on purpose, and just left a place next to him.
According to the banquet rules, this seat can only be occupied by the second most important person in the Qin family.
Chu Liang is not from the Qin family and cannot sit down directly.
Fortunately, at this time, a familiar voice sounded in Chu Liang's ears.
"Mr. Chu, come and take a seat here." Qin Yu said with a smile.
"good!"
Chu Liang responded and immediately walked over.
His movement immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the room.
The eyes of many young talents were like knives, scraping back and forth on Chu Liang, as if they wanted to chop him into pieces.
But Chu Liang's expression remained unchanged and he calmly sat down next to Qin Yu.
At this point, the banquet officially began.
There were rich dishes and plenty of wine on the table. It should have been lively, but when everyone saw Chu Liang's position, they felt very uncomfortable. Everything they ate was tasteless and tasted like nothing.
Chu Liang had a good appetite and chatted with Qin Yu while eating, talking about some martial arts training experiences.
Seeing the two of them talking and laughing naturally, the others felt more and more uncomfortable.
"Chu Liang!"
Gao Shi gritted his teeth with hatred and wished he could rush up to tell Chu Liang to get away.
At this moment, Qi Sheng beside him suddenly stood up.
Qi Sheng held a long sword, looked at Chu Liang, and said loudly: "I have always heard that Brother Chu is the most talented person in the county. When I saw him today, he was indeed extraordinary! Qi was itching for a moment and wanted to compete with Brother Chu, so he happened to use the sword as his weapon. I wonder what Brother Chu wants to do with the banquet?"
"Using swords to add to the fun?"
Chu Liang was stunned and remembered the allusion of Xiang Zhuang's sword dance.
He naturally recognized Qi Sheng and felt Qi Sheng's strong hostility.
"Brother Qi, how do you want to compete?" Chu Liang also stood up and asked Qi Sheng.
"Simple!"
Qi Sheng held a long sword in front of him.
"Use your autumn sword against my sinking sword!"
